Chapter 133: Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Su Ye left Ye Su to preside over the training in the spirit world, and let Nie Fengjiao take the two soul slave dead soldiers and teleport to Jiangzhou, let Montaigne and Fan Zhuo teleport to the imperial city, and let everyone go their separate ways, he took Luo Jiang and his four retinue, as well as his four soul slave dead soldiers, and teleported back to the Xu family compound.
Immediately, Su Ye used soul illusion techniques on the four entourages who followed Luo Jiang to make them forget what happened in the spirit world, and they also had a unified statement about the improvement of their cultivation and Luo Jiang's strength.
When Su Ye saw his uncle again, Ye Honglin's cultivation was already at the beginning of the Yuan Infant Realm, and Ye Qian and Ye Ke were also at the beginning of the Jindan Realm and the strength of the later level of the Foundation Building Period.
And Ye Honglin also saw that Su Ye was now in the half-step Yuanying realm, which made Ye Honglin more optimistic about Su Ye, thinking that it was very correct to entrust the people he would bring to Su Ye.
The last time they met, Su Ye did not postpone it, he accepted Ye Honglin's commission, and now, talking with his uncle again, he knew the current situation of the Witch God Sect in his hometown, and how to bring these more than 5,000 people well, and how to deal with the split Witch God Sect, Su Ye didn't think about what to do for a while.
So, he sent a message to the witch god and asked solemnly: "Senior Wu Ling, what should I do about my uncle's commission and the current witch god sect?" ”
Who knew that Wu did not answer Su Ye directly, but asked rhetorically: "Then with the meaning of the Holy Son, what do you think should be done?" ”
With a wry smile, Su Ye replied self-deprecatingly: "This matter is really a dilemma for me. You also know that now, whether it is the life-and-death struggle within the Witch God Cult, or the upcoming millennium calamity, coupled with the invasion of foreign enemies in the northern frontier that will be faced immediately, this world is becoming precarious, and I really can't leave it alone now, hehe, have I become frivolous. ”
Before, Wu Ling asked Su Ye to take over the revitalization of the Witch God Sect, he felt that his ability was limited, so he didn't even want to ask about the affairs of the Witch God Sect, but it was not long ago, and he even wanted to intervene in the invasion of foreign enemies in the northern Xinjiang and the thousand-year disaster.
Seeing Su Ye laughing at himself like this, Wu Ling didn't feel funny, but nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. Holy Son, I have seen all your experiences these days, you are not arrogant and frivolous, you have no eggs under the nest, you are just a kind of self-confidence and sense of responsibility in the face of what will happen, you are just being prepared for danger in times of peace. ”
"But I, with my current strength, can I really meddle in these things?"
"With your current strength, of course, your ability is still limited, but you can at least use your own strength to change the direction of some things, so that it will not become worse, the sky is uncertain, you just need to do your best."
In reality, he also talked to Ye Honglin: "Uncle, the two boats I saw you traveling on are the "lucky boats" built by Funing in the Southern Regions, right? This ship is very different from the sand boats we built in the north, don't you worry that when you use these boats, you will be targeted by people with intentions and bring trouble? ”
Hearing Su Ye ask this question, Ye Honglin couldn't help but feel that he had such a meticulous mind at this age, so he was doubly impressed. I thought to myself: Why don't my two sons have this kind of mentality, and they will get into trouble for themselves all day long.
After sighing secretly, Ye Honglin said: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this, those ships of ours have been registered with the Municipal Shipping Division, and besides, the boat gangs and river transport ships sailing in the river, whether they are ships in the south or ships in the north, do not have very clear regulations.
Coupled with the perennial looting and reselling of water bandits, the ships in the river transportation are now even more chaotic, which makes it difficult to accurately distinguish whose ships are from the boats. ”
Next, through Ye Honglin and Xu Ji'an, Su Ye had a corresponding understanding of the relevant ships and shipping.
As long as you receive the official certificate of the city ship every time you sail, and then pay enough taxes and silver every month, no one will ask you too much about other things in your operation.
"Oh, I see." Su Ye nodded thoughtfully, and after thinking about it, he continued to ask, "Uncle, what is this city division for?" In the past, I had never heard that there was such a yamen in the official office of the imperial court. ”
Xu Ji'an replied, "Young master, the Municipal Shipping Division is mainly engaged in the management of ship navigation and the yamen of taxes, but there was no in the past, that is, there have been more ships running shipping in recent years, and the imperial court has newly established this yamen." I heard that this matter was still proposed by the grand people of our Shuangjiang Mansion when the former Prime Minister Lou Zhichong was changing the law. ”
After listening to what Ye Honglin said, Su Ye conducted a memory search on some of his Gu slaves, especially Xu Hongkui and the two envoys from the Western Regions, as well as Luo Jiang's memory, from which Su Ye knew a lot of things about the previous Prime Minister Lou Zhichong and Yin Sheng Bokai of Shuangjiang Mansion, as well as the City Bosi and the Shuangjiang City Water Army.
Su Ye asked again: "Uncle, the more than 5,000 people you have come here, just the monthly expenses for food and drink are a lot of expenses, if you only rely on the river transportation and dart games you mentioned, it is estimated that it will be difficult to feed so many people." ”
He already has a lot of people to feed now, and he needs people now, but he is also afraid that he will not be able to think of some problems in advance, and he is worried that if he does not do well, he will carry too many burdens and put himself and the people who follow him in trouble.
Ye Honglin understood why Su Ye asked, in this troubled era of extreme food shortage, it was not easy for people to be able to eat enough every day, and it would be stressful for anyone to carry the burden of more than 5,000 people all of a sudden.
Ye Honglin smiled bitterly and explained: "Of course, it is not enough to rely on these two items, more than 5,000 people who came here with me, as well as nearly 1,000 female workers and more than 500 witch doctors, rely on them to do textile piercing and bell doctors in the countryside, which makes our daily food and drink on weekdays still have enough security."
However, it is already very difficult to get more cultivation resources and improve everyone's cultivation, so over the years, we can only focus on improving people with potential, and for most people, we can only allow their own potential to improve themselves. ”
After speaking, Ye Honglin's face became a little ashamed, the two sons he cultivated with a lot of resources, the real strength was not as good as Su Ye's daughter.
"It's good that we're here, that we can put down roots here, that so many people can eat, and not go hungry." Ye Qian argued for his father first.
