Chapter 185: The First Day of the Eighth Month

On the first day of the eighth month of the sixth thousand seven hundred and eighty-two years of the Kaiyuan calendar, Xiao Zheng and Luo Xuan Luo Mi were trapped under the dungeon outside the Dragon Qin inheritance; Bing'er's four daughters pinched their hands and counted the days, and they were a little restless in just two days, and they lived like a year; The trial students on the central island, which was almost isolated from the outside world, hurried to prepare for the first terrifying test from the academy in three months, but for the entire Terran race of the Ancestral Continent, this was a day destined to go down in history

At the time when the Central Academy began to record a new batch of students, that is, at the beginning of May, the Han and the beast clan fought on the border, the front of thousands of miles was full of smoke, and the Han army almost collapsed, and then under the general Geng Zhong's force, he first retreated thousands of miles, with a radius of thousands of thousands of people as bait, and then a million wolf cavalry divided into five ways to divide and encircle, and then advanced the encirclement with tens of millions of elite divisions, but the beasts came and went like the wind, the field battle was strong, and the deployment that lasted nearly two months failed to complete the work, on the fifth day of the seventh month, the general Geng Zhong ordered the attack, The three counties on the border sent troops to cut the retreat of the beast tribe to no avail, but still delayed the evacuation of most of the beast tribes, and finally drilled into this pocket of 30 million beast warriors finally only more than 7 million evacuated, the battle report came out, this is simply a big victory, the people of the Han Dynasty are all jubilant, since the founding of the three empires, in addition to the Song Dynasty continued to expel the sea tribe, the good news is frequent, in addition to the expansion of the sea frontier, the Han and the beast tribe are at war most frequently, this victory not only stabilized the hearts of the people in the Han country, but also greatly long face, the reward is needless to say, but no one cares about the loss

At the same time, the Great Song Dynasty also announced a news, so that the merchants of the Three Kingdoms were excited, as early as the Song Dynasty continued to expand their maritime frontiers with a thunderous momentum, Naguye Islands, Trap Islands, Concave and Convex Islands, and Fish Island were the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the merchants of the Three Kingdoms were already excited, but the merchants were excited too early, the Great Song Dynasty allowed the merchants of the Three Kingdoms to trade in the sea territory within the four islands, but the four islands newly included in the territory were rewarded by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to the tens of millions of soldiers who participated in the war, and the four islands would be considered to open the four islands after the development of the four islands. Until July 20, the Han Dynasty announced the defeat of the 30 million enemies of the beast clan and annihilated nearly 25 million, when the human race was boiling for this, the Song Dynasty followed up and announced the news that made the merchants excited, there were two news, one was the new two states of the Great Song Dynasty, namely the blood line state and Dongyi state, and the other was a series of national policies, which were nothing more than under the leadership of Han Han's Shengming, to open up the territory, the Great Song Dynasty peasants were exempt from taxes, etc., but the most eye-catching of them was about money, the peasants' taxes were just small money, and the commercial tax was the real big head

The Great Song Dynasty changed the bloodline defense line to the bloodline county, and allowed merchants to step into business, and allowed to settle here, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the merchants, the bloodline operated for decades, and all the dangers within the bloodline were almost eliminated by the Great Song Navy, and this means that there are countless riches waiting for the merchants to take, naturally, the merchants will inevitably settle here, and the settlement means the population, and the merchants represent the tax, due to policy reasons, the vast majority of these merchants are small business groups of medium and low type, The merchant groups represented by the family all ran to another newly established Dongyi County

The Great Song Dynasty of Dongyi County just found out, and I didn't even know how big it was, but I knew that it wouldn't be small, and even the upper two or three counties on the top of this island were not known, but the Great Song Dynasty established a county like this, and Dongyi County was named Dongyi Island, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty opened up all the way to the east from the landing, and nearly a million soldiers landed, but these soldiers only did one thing, that is, to open the road, all the way to the east from the beginning of the landing, all the way to the easternmost part of Dongyi Island, and then the city was built, and Dongyi County was established

Many people do not understand that the inhabitants of such an island only have a county guard and a group of sub-officials and a million troops stationed in the garrison again, how can this be regarded as a county? A small city with a minimum of one million people is also a fraction more than this newly baked Dongyi County, but those merchant groups represented by families have come for this reason, Dongyi County has a second city, Dengcheng, for which the Great Song Dynasty military also specially stationed a million soldiers in this second city, and also built a second military port of huge scale

Merchants seek profit, but the businessman represented by the family ranks profit second, and the family is the first at all, it is for this reason that it is almost impossible for all the families of the Great Song Dynasty not to be interested here, because there are three kinds of things that all the upper class people like very much, the water moon fruit tree that can increase the medicinal properties and enhance the human body's physique, the strange flower pole yang flower that can calm the mind, and the red-haired monkey that can raise and play and eat the brain, these are all very rare things, and it is also a business that only the business group headed by the family has the ability to do. This is a big business, you can't help but make money and sell things at a good price, and the most important thing is that Dongyi Island is only open to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so Dongyi Island, a newly established county, finally ushered in the first batch of ordinary people who immigrated to settle down, these people came to work, except for the city built by the military, everything needs labor

From all this, until the first day of August, these news finally broke out, if the Han annihilation of more than 20 million beasts is for the Terran to exalt the prestige, then the two counties of the Great Song Dynasty are the symbol of the Terran's external expansion, all the people feel that this is the heyday of the Terran is about to start, and the Three Kingdoms also think so, the Orcs were torn off two pieces of flesh by the Han "God of War" General Geng Zhong, at least this wound will take more than ten years to recover, the Orcs have a huge population, almost everyone can be soldiers, but the Orcs are not peaceful, The war in April and the war in May were the attacks of two different tribes on the Han, April was dominated by the elite, and May was dominated by numbers, the two tribes had a common and only king, but they fought separately in peacetime, only listening to the orders of the tribal patriarch, which just allowed the Han to rest, and a lot of things happened to the beasts, but the human race always only cared about things related to themselves

The Great Song Dynasty opened up the source of people's money to make people naturally excited, and it was naturally pushed as a sign of expansion, the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty once again resounded in the mouth of the human race, and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty was also rich, after the Great Song Dynasty transferred seventy percent of the army of the Blood Line County to the four islands, the population of the Blood Line County increased rapidly in just one month, and it was simply unthinkable that the population of the Blood Line County was approaching the population of the garrison in just one month, but the fact is that the blood line population was close to 20 million in just one month, But the most surprising thing is that the questioned Dongyi County, a "barren" county with only troops, now has a population of nearly one million, and of course the two million garrisons must be removed

Everything is getting better, and every common person of the human race feels that they are about to rise up, including beggars and prisoners, think so, because the Great Song Dynasty is "buying" them, as long as they serve the Great Song military for ten years, they can get a free body and ten acres of fertile land, ten acres of fertile land is very little, but for these people at the bottom, this is enough

Even the beggars have hope, everyone works hard for the life of faith, even His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who has done nothing prays for the tens of millions of people who died as bait for the Han Dynasty, and expresses gratitude for the Song Dynasty's "acquisition" of garbage and the expansion of territory, and the wealthy Tang Dynasty happily buys luxury goods from the Great Song Dynasty and beast slaves from the Han Dynasty; The Great Song Dynasty successfully enriched the treasury that had been emptied by the war and weakened the family power to gain a large number of people, and the Great Song Dynasty, as the smallest country, finally ushered in the opportunity to become strong; The Great Han quickly sent the refugees to the Great Song Dynasty and made a lot of money by selling orc slaves, but the most important thing was that the Great Han disabled the orc tribe that had been threatening him

But it was during this period of time that there was an additional group of wealthy people in the Tang Dynasty, an additional group of people of faith among the common people of the Han Dynasty, and an additional group of people who were not very many in the Great Song Dynasty

The whole human race looks prosperous, but there is still a part of it that doesn't care about these, it has been ten days since Xi Xue sat on the battleship and quietly enjoyed the water vapor blowing down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, eating tender and juicy fruits, but his heart was more and more impatient, it had been ten days, but he had not yet arrived at the Central Academy, so that the always quiet Xi Xue couldn't help but be a little restless, thinking about how fast Xiao Zheng was at the beginning, but he had to grind time on the vast Yellow River, and even the small boat that transmitted the message didn't know how much faster than himself, Xixue once wanted to get on the boat and go first, but unfortunately under the bitter pleas of the battleship officers, Xixue had to give up, and the general of the imperial envoy battleship agreed to speed up the voyage, and again and again accelerated a lot, the speed of going first was already two or three times that of departure, but Xixue was still not satisfied, but the general could only shake his head and smile bitterly, his battleship is not the kind of special transport warship that sends students to school, although it looks the same, but in fact the difference is still very big

Just as Xiao Zheng didn't understand why such a long distance could be so fast, Xixue also didn't understand, so he was quite angry, if he had known that this was the case, Xixue would definitely be with Xiao Zheng and the others

"How long will it take?" Xixue asked impatiently

The general smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, this is the seventh time you have asked this question today."

"I ask you how long you have left, don't you know the decree in the army!"

The general's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Miss Qiyu, at the current rate, there are about eight days left, nine days at the latest, and the number of days is uncertain in case of special circumstances!"

waved his hand impatiently, Xi Xue, who has always been quiet and elegant, can make such a "rude" action If Xiao Zheng sees it, he will definitely be shocked, but the general is beating his chest and retreating, without the slightest surprise, as the personal guards who have been following the manager, these two young ladies have a clear temper, but after so many days, they will inevitably feel a headache about the difficulty of the young lady

When the general retreated, there was no one around Xixue, quietly looking at the west, and pictures kept flashing in his mind, although there were not many, but they were exceptionally clear

"Alas" sighed softly, Xi Xue knew what was wrong with her, she was shouldering the "great cause" of the demon clan, and the pain that had been wrapped around the demon clan might be lifted on her body, but it was precisely because of this that a series of emotions such as anticipation for the future and curiosity and gratitude for Xiao Zheng were concentrated on her body

Xiao Zheng's face has almost become a part of Xixue's life, and almost everything Xixue does will have Xiao Zheng's figure, the guy who acts differently but often surprises
