Chapter 127: Conjecture
It took Lu Zhu nearly a day to sort out the forces below the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty Sect to Qin Liang.
Qin Liang not only listened carefully, but he even made a note of some key content, until it was already dark, and then let the green beads retreat.
"Interesting ......"
Looking at the stack of papers full of handwriting on the desk, Qin Liang felt that he had gained a lot.
It turns out that the heritage of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty is really not weak.
When Lu Zhu explained the power of the mountain gate, he also mentioned the strength of the royal family he mastered.
Under the sect of the Immortal Dynasty, there should be a mountain gate force recognized by the imperial court, there are thirty-six families, these are all mountain gates with thousands of years of heritage, which can be regarded as the basic plate of the immortal cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty, under the mountain gate, there are seventy-two large and small factions, these sects, those with profound heritage also have a history of nearly a thousand years, and the foundation is shallow, but it has been established for decades, eight major sects, thirty-six mountain gates, and seventy-two factions, which constitute the mainstream of the cultivation world of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty. In addition, the monks can be classified into the mountains and wild cultivators, belonging to the category of fighting alone, lonely souls and wild ghosts, without the support of the Immortal Dynasty, and not under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Dynasty, as long as they do not violate the laws of the monks and the Immortal Dynasty, they can live freely.
The territory of the Immortal Dynasty is limited, but there are a lot of caves and blessed lands that have been carved out, and there are twenty-three caves and blessed lands controlled by the Immortal Dynasty on the bright side, of which the income of ten caves and blessed lands belongs to the royal family, and the rest of the part, half of which is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the remaining part is handed over to the immortal cultivators represented by the eight major sects.
In addition to assisting the Immortal Dynasty against enemies outside the territory, the monk also sent strong people to sit in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, first, to prevent the strong people born in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land from causing chaos, and secondly, to prevent the rest of the forces from snatching the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
Of course, the ten Cave Heaven Blessed Lands controlled by the royal family, except for the Black Lotus Blessed Land fixed as a reward for the deer cutting banquet, the rest of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land has never been allowed to enter by the monks of the Immortal Dynasty, and it has always been the royal family's own strength to guard these places.
Therefore, what is the real strength of the Immortal Dynasty, outsiders really don't know, maybe only when the national war is there, can they see the hidden strength of the royal family.
From the information sorted out by the green beads, Qin Liang found an interesting phenomenon.
This phenomenon was not even noticed by the green beads.
The Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty began to decline, almost four hundred years ago, and the previous five hundred years had maintained the prosperity of Mu Tianzi since his Zhongxing.
And four hundred years ago, the Immortal Dynasty and the Great Chu fought a war, the investment of both sides in this battle was not large, and it did not last long, only half a year, with the Immortal Dynasty won a narrow advantage.
In this battle, the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty took away a blessed land that had just been discovered, the Yuheng blessed land, from the Chu State.
But since then, in addition to the land of the western frontier, the Immortal Dynasty has maintained a certain intention to develop, and other directions have turned to the defensive, and the national strength has obviously begun to weaken.
If it weren't for the heroes like the sword master in the national dynasty, I'm afraid that the immortal dynasty would have already been in flames.
"Yuheng blessed land...... Interesting......"
Qin Liang drew a circle on the name of the blessed land.
He felt that it was necessary for him to study the war between the Immortal Dynasty and the Great Chu in the battle for the blessed land.
Judging from the experience of previous lives, the decline of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty is likely to be related to the blessed land of Yuheng.
Therefore, Qin Liang felt that this war was likely to be a trap for the Chu State, this blessed land was not a good place, after getting it, the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty invested a lot of resources in this place, but did not get the corresponding output, and the sunk cost dragged down the dynasty.
Of course, this is only one possibility.
The second possibility is that the value of Yuheng blessed land is enough to attract the attention of the royal family, so that for hundreds of years, the royal family has invested in this place at any cost, but the return cycle of the blessed land is too long, so that the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty is still in a period of weak national strength.
If it is the former, the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty will continue to sink resources, which may eventually lead to a great crisis in the Immortal Dynasty, and in the end, the Immortal Dynasty will either sell the Yuheng blessed land, or it can only be completely sealed in pain, and the strong man will break his wrist and stop the loss in time.
But if it is the latter, the hundreds of years of investment of the Immortal Dynasty, and when there is a return, it will be amazing.
Qin Liang's judgment leaned towards the latter.
Cave Heaven Blessed Land, small but mustard seed space, large but thousands or even thousands of miles, the territory can be completely comparable to the territory of the big country, some blessed land is rich in real estate, countless treasures of heaven and earth, some blessed land outstanding people, large population, not only can provide tax and military resources, but also give birth to a large number of monk seedlings, just need to store and cultivate, it is the best offering of the blessed land, can strengthen the power of the owner of the blessed land.
Since the Immortal Dynasty has been pouring resources into the Yuheng blessed land for hundreds of years, it must have seen the scene.
Of course, perhaps because of this prospect, the trouble in the blessed land is also big enough, and it is the place where the sinking cost of the cave blessed land is the greatest.
For example, the monks of the Chu State entered the Yuheng blessed land early, hid in the blessed land, recruited troops, trained monks, attacked the garrison forces of the Immortal Dynasty, and destroyed the income of the Immortal Dynasty in it, which was the biggest trouble for the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.
These monks are like weeds that can't be burned endlessly, and they will make waves at every opportunity, so it will be very difficult for the Immortal Dynasty to obtain benefits in a stable manner. And as long as the damage is big enough, the investment of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty will also become greater than the benefits, and in the end, a blessed land with extremely rich resources will become a place of chicken ribs that is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon.
"If the Yuheng blessed land is really a trouble, the Son of Heaven is likely to take advantage of this deer cutting banquet to throw out the whole trouble and let the sect forces participate, right?"
Qin Liang suddenly had such an idea in his heart.
Although he only has a two-sided relationship with Ji Jing, Qin Liang found that this Zhou Tianzi is broad-minded, has a good vision, and knows how to advance and retreat.
Although he has not paid much attention to the government for decades, he is still ambitious.
Since you want to be a generation of heroes, you must want to invigorate the government. At least it will try to solve the problem of dragging down the national strength of the Immortal Dynasty.
"It depends on whether the Son of Heaven will throw out the blessed land of Yuheng......"
Qin Liang finally thought.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Liang calculated the time and found that the time to meet with Tie Mu had arrived.
Previously, in order to refine the pill, Qin Liang gave him a few pills at one time, stabilized Tie Mu, and asked him to continue to inquire about the news in the city.
After that, Qin Liang disappeared for a while, and I don't know if Tie Mu has found any information recently.
"Then talk to Songshu about it......"
Qin Liang finally sighed: "I'm so busy that I don't have time to see my daughter-in-law......
