Chapter 296: Handing over the land and basing ourselves on the earth city
A large number of people, along with the natives, bowed down one after another, and their eyes showed a little reverence.
The tense situation between the two sides just now turned against each other in a blink of an eye, and the little priest knew that he couldn't stay anymore now.
Now Su Qi'an's prestige and momentum have reached their peak, and no one will believe what he is saying.
This is the power of the human heart, once trusted, to become a zealot, and then to become the most faithful believer.
This kind of power, the little priest has felt, and now that Su Qi'an has achieved it, it is impossible for him to stop it.
Su Qi'an not only defeated him through the fighting method, but also stepped on him, making everyone think that he was a god who was comparable to the high priest and even more powerful.
can make the gods obey orders, this position, the little priest can't shake.
But he is not such a person who admits defeat so easily, he has served as a small priest of Tucheng for many years, and it is not so easy to defeat him.
At the moment, I can only admit defeat and accept softness, and the day after day will be long, and I am slowly trying to figure it out.
The little priest showed a gloomy gaze, staring at Su Qi'an, his mouth moving lightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Lip talking, dropping a sentence, "We'll see." Then he turned and departed.
Su Qi'an stood on the high platform with a smile on his face, he didn't care about the threat of the little priest.
After coming to Tucheng, he had a heart-to-heart with Wu Yong, and this Tucheng was the base camp for Su Qi'an's future development.
And if you want to grow your power, you will have to divide the victory and defeat with the small priests sooner or later.
In this Tucheng, there can only be one person who speaks, not only that, but in the future, Su Qi'an will also be the ultimate ruler in this Jiaozhou.
The tone of these words sounded loud and distant, but this was Su Qi'an's goal.
After the Xizhou incident, Su Qi'an recognized a truth, if you want to protect the people around you from harm, you have to be strong.
And this kind of strength is not a county, a county, but a state, only with the strength of a state, people will really dare not despise.
This is contrary to Su Qi'an's original intention at the beginning, I wanted to be a small person, obtain the honorable status of earl and marquis, take my family, and be an idle marquis, wouldn't it be beautiful.
But in the end, the torrent of the times let Su Qi'an know that whether he wanted it or not, he had long been coerced by fate and involved in it.
And what he can do now is to develop his strength step by step and make himself truly strong, for this purpose, Su Qi'an must be ambitious.
In the future, before the troubled times come, we can not be used as chess pieces by others.
Take back your heart, this time the rain temple fighting method, Su Qi'an won completely, as for some of the skills of calling the wind and rain just now, to put it bluntly, it is a trick to fool people.
Whether it is Su Qi'an or the little priest, they can only do it with the help of the right time and place, as well as considerable experience in weather forecasting.
Su Qi'an's three days in the county government were not just resting, in those three days, he had seen in detail the little priest's skills in Tucheng for more than ten years.
He found that the little priest was a capable man with a wealth of experience in observing the weather.
Moreover, this person has participated in the imperial examination, and must have come into contact with many miscellaneous books.
With some of his tricks, coupled with the rich prediction of meteorological observations, it was reappeared, just like the power of the gods.
Like Su Qi'an, the main reason why he was able to summon the heavenly thunder was that he had left a few pieces of conductive iron on the little priest in advance.
Provoked by words, let him go up to the high platform, which was built and, judging by the topography, was an excellent open and open position.
And Jiaozhou is in the south, the south is already rainy and damp, with conductive iron on the body, and standing in the open air, so as not to be struck by lightning, then it is strange.
As for Su Qi'an's so-called letting the rain stop, it is even simpler, it is completely an observation of the meteorology, so as to draw a judgment.
Of course, Su Qi'an's research on meteorology is completely novice, and he can have such a ability, not by himself, but by him with some capable people.
These skilled men included craftsmen, blacksmiths, veteran farmers, and a subordinate official from the Qin Heavenly Prison.
These people, except for the subordinate official of Qin Tianjian who was appointed by His Majesty, all the others were found in the county after Su Qi'an returned to Xizhou and took control of Lingbei County.
These people are the backbone of Su Qi'an's future development of his own forces in Jiaozhou.
In order to let these talents arrive in Jiaozhou safely, Su Qi'an wasted a lot of effort.
In the first search, Su Qi'an didn't even inform Qin Ziyin and Lu Xiaowan, and completely appointed Su Yong, Tong Zhan and other special combat teams to carry out it secretly.
After the personnel were replenished, he took a step ahead of him and left Xizhou in advance, although the whole territory of Xizhou was under martial law at that time, Tang Feng was guarding against Su Qi'an, and the eyes of everyone in the territory were staring at Su Qi'an.
didn't pay attention to this group of defenseless low-level people at all, so they left Xizhou smoothly.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents along the way, Su Qi'an specially sent dozens of guards to escort him out of Kyoto after a life-and-death battle.
This group of guards, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, has undergone a profound transformation, and it is only suitable to use it as an escort.
And after Su Qi'an got rid of Tang Feng's pursuit, he finally met them at the border of the two states.
With the addition of this group of talents, Su Qi'an can show his skills in Jiaozhou.
After entering Jiaozhou, the first trouble he encountered was the little priest, although Su Qi'an did not know much about meteorology and astrology, but he had a subordinate official of Qin Tianjian by his side.
The little priest of Tucheng did have some abilities, but compared to the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, it was nothing more than that.
Generally speaking, one is from a formal background and has undergone systematic learning, and the other is a wild fox chan who relies on clever tricks.
Moreover, if you look closely at the so-called channeling of the little priests, you will find that there are also flaws.
The boundary of Jiaozhou is already rainy and wet, and the weather can be described as cloudy and uncertain.
This point was taught by Su Qi'an when he came to Jiaozhou.
And the little priest's psychic powers, each time he was a little long, not immediately apparent, at least more than a quarter of an hour or so.
And this gave him enough time to delay, and when the time came, with his gods, this cloudy and uncertain weather could really be encountered by him in the so-called heavy rain and small rain.
These natives themselves are ignorant, but when they saw this scene, coupled with the fact that there was a cooperative trust in the crowd, they were naturally convinced without thinking.
Su Qi'an's fighting method is just to use the way of others to govern others.
How did the little priest get the ability of the gods, and Su Qi'an reproduced the original.
This time, Su Qi'an's fighting method was even bolder than that of the little priest, and the little priest at most pretended to be the so-called rain god.
Su Qi'an is higher than the rain god, and orders the rain god and above, in local terms, that is, he has reached the high priest or above, and he has the ability to command the heavenly gods.
With the advance prediction of the subordinate officials, coupled with the cooperation of the crowd, the little priest was calculated, and everything was perfectly presented in the eyes of everyone.
Today's fighting method, Su Qi'an is basically based in Tucheng.
Next, Su Qi'an planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the next step was to receive the land in the hands of the little priest of Tucheng.
This time the fighting method of the Rain Temple, the two sides are not simple fighting methods, there are bets.
If Su Qi'an loses, he will not only have to agree to compensate the little priest for all the demands, but also have to kneel down like the stone statue of the rain god to apologize.
On the contrary, if the little priest is defeated, Su Qi'an wants nothing else, he wants a piece of land around Tucheng, which will be used by Su Qi'an from now on.
The land around the earthen city was not very large, only about half the size of the earthen city, and less than one-tenth of all the land owned by the little priests.
And the soil quality is not very good, it is not very good land.
But the location is quite important, near the earthen city, it is equivalent to enclosing the earthen city.
You can monitor Tucheng, and once you encounter a year of drought, the little priest will send people to set up checkpoints in important places as soon as possible.
Directly charge high entry and exit fees, especially for the material convoy sent above to support Tucheng.
The entrance fee to the city is ridiculously high, and it is by virtue of this that the little priest earns a lot of money.
The little priest is so fearless, and he is fighting against the high priest behind him, as well as the alliance of priests of the Jiaozhou realm.
Therefore, every time he encounters this incident, and Wu Yong has no background, the people above will naturally not stand up for him, he can only swallow this bitterness.
And today's victory, Su Qi'an and Wu Yong have already discussed, and the first piece of land they want is around Tucheng.
And this is the first step for them to break the barrier of the little priests, and later, sooner or later, they will take back all the land of the entire Tucheng.
Let them know that there is only one county magistrate in Tucheng.
The road is arduous and long, but with the first step of breaking the ice, the road behind will definitely be opened.
After the battle in the Rain Temple was over, Su Qi'an and Wu Yong led a team of men and horses and went straight to the residence of the little priest.
The residence of the little priest can be described as quite luxurious, a little far from the earthen city, but the quality of the land is very good, and directly in the middle, a small three-story building was built.
Compared with the surrounding mud houses, thatched houses, and bamboo houses, the blue brick houses in the middle are particularly conspicuous.
In the local area of Tucheng, there was no stone output, and the little priests were able to build such a luxurious residence, and the stones were all transported from Qingcheng County.
With such luxury, Tucheng County Ya suddenly looked very poor and sour.
But this time, they didn't pay too much attention, but officially wanted to hand over the jurisdiction of the ground near Tucheng with the little priest.
Originally, Wu Yong was still worried in his heart, with the temperament of a little priest, whether he would estimate that it would be difficult, or tear his face and forcibly deny it.
But unexpectedly, the little priest was like a different person, not only did he refuse, he didn't need them to open his mouth, he took out the contract of the land near Tucheng as soon as possible and handed it to Su Qi'an.
With a kind smile on his face, he said some flattering words, wishing that under Su Qi'an's jurisdiction, the development of Tucheng is getting better and better.
Su Qi'an was not polite to him, and after taking the contract, he turned around and led people away.
After leaving the little priest's residence, Wu Yong reminded, and he said, "Uncle, it's better to be careful, according to my dealings with the little priest for so long, he is a person who must repay his eyes, and he is definitely not so polite."
Su Qi'an nodded, "Well, that's right, but the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and at the moment we still have to develop the earth city, only when we are strong, will these gods be afraid."
