Chapter 739: Nine Countries Buy Grain (I)
The third day of February
At the junction of Taiping Lake and the river, the bottom of the lake in the east is turquoise, and the river water in the west brings rich nourishment, although it brings some turbid sediment these days, it still attracts many phytoplankton, small fish and big fish at the confluence of the estuary, and it is a busy water style.
The slightest mana fluctuation was generated along the water veins, and the faint aura attracted the vigilant water tribe.
When the stars disappeared, it was a little dark, a black shadow in the waterway, swimming like a long snake, when the first bit of blue light was like the one-eyed water snake, a few vigilant water tribes, swam closer to see, it was a green shell hanging on the flag.
This was immediately avoided.
The closer it got to the Dragon Palace, the brighter the shells became, shining on the silent march of the army, without slowing down.
There are also some aquariums cruising over, taking a look and swimming away......
Ye Qing sensed the breath of the water tribe, and didn't say much, he was the east room of the two princesses, that is, his own people in the Dragon Palace, and the permission to enter and exit was still very high.
As if sensing Ye Qing's arrival, there was a fluctuation at this time, revealing a cyan dragon eye, glancing here, and then disappearing.
"It's Longjun...... It didn't go to war outside the territory?"
Ye Qing was stunned, then stopped and called Jiang Chen: "You continue to lead the team to the county, and I will visit my father-in-law first." ”
Jiang Chen should be, looking at the figure of the lord and escaping into the deep water in a flash, he shouted: "Keep going!"
The sky light lit up in the water, and the direction of the light source was not from above, but from the depths of the bottom of the lake, and it was the brilliance transmitted by the power of the Dragon Palace.
There are also many small spots of light in the distance at the bottom of the lake, and schools of glow-in-the-dark fish are shuttling around.
Looking closely, it was a dragon palace magic boat, with the fluctuation of water power, Ye Qing took a look, and it was all controlled by the aquarium of the Qi Cultivation Layer, as if they were cruising.
Ye Qing was amazed when he first came, thinking that this was almost a miniaturized attack submarine, but now that his vision has improved, compared to the Outer Domain, which is comparable to the Earth Immortal Void Battleship, it is a big deal.
I extinguished my mind for a while, this still belongs to the power of the mortal world, and it is completely wasteful and not worth it to compete head-on with the immortal ships of the outer realms.
This time, without the two ladies to guide the way, Ye Qing's body cultivation is now at the peak of the Yang God, and he doesn't need their Tankou Dragon Ball to supply oxygen, and a little nostalgia flashed by, so he found his way in.
The Dragon Palace is not directly built at the bottom of the lake, it is in the deeper underground spiritual vein, and the bottom of the lake is connected by a curved tunnel, and the light is penetrated from this tunnel, as if there is a huge luminous spirit stone hidden below, first downstream to the end, and then to the upstream ten zhang to float out of a pool of water.
The bell rang, the incense was burning, the main gate of the palace complex opened in the glow, and a man in a cyan dragon robe came over with more than a dozen real people from the water tribe, and stood on the steps at the door and smiled: "The real monarch is here." ”
"I've seen my father-in-law. Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward to say hello and salute.
"You are already a true monarch, although you are still one level lower than me, but you can perform a flat ceremony, and I can't afford this ceremony. Long Jun said with a smile.
Ye Qing got up, went to the opposite side of Long Jun, and said: "Meet and perform a peace ceremony, that's official, when you get home, you are my father-in-law, it should be this ceremony, not to mention-"
Ye Qing raised his eyes and looked at Long Jun: "When you were in my last place, you funded many times, and there is still a great favor in this that cannot be repaid!"
Seeing his heavy and serious expression, Long Jun's heart trembled, and he only smiled and said, "This time and that time, come on, what will your family say to repay, go in." ”
Ye Qing smiled and followed it in.
In fact, you can feel a lot from the details of this title, and you can clearly feel the change in status...... used to be my best son-in-law, but now he is a true monarch, and he is basically on an equal footing.
Secondly, it can be seen that in the eyes of Long Jun, the governor of Nanlian and the marquis of Han are not honorable, and only the innocent monarch of Nanlian Cave is the eye.
The Immortal Dao World is characterized by strength, and the fruit is the same in the outer realm and the local domain, but the way of embodiment is different.
"Your body has fought in the sky, and this is just a clone?"
"That's right, you don't have to rush to understand the matter of the Immortal War, the situation is quite controllable, you be careful, the enemy is likely to target the Yanghua Prototype Dongtian this time......" Long Jun nodded and entered the main hall first: "Let's come in and talk." ”
Entering the hall, although it is exquisite and beautiful, it is a bit strange to see the atmosphere of the past.
Ye Qing Lingxi reflected how keen the observation power of the sixth layer was, and at this time, he looked around, and when he saw the lingering luck, he judged that it was not the Dragon Hall Immortal Realm in the past, and it was estimated that it was also taken away by the Dragon Monarch body......
The concubine of the main room and the mother-in-law Concubine Dong are also not there, and it is very likely that they are accompanied by the immortal war.
After taking their seats, several pretty maids came over and ordered tea and fruit for the two, and then retreated to the side and waited for the orders of the host and guest.
"Go down first, all of you. ”
Long Jun waved his hand to let the maid stand back, looked at the son-in-law, and seemed to smile: "You have always come to the door without anything, don't be idle, just say it." ”
Ye Qing looked innocent, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said: "There are only two things, one is to cure the river trouble, and the other is to buy food through the road." ”
"You don't need to say anything about river control, breaches are everywhere, my Taiping Lake is related to the function of regulating the amount of water downstream, the disaster of the astronomical tide has not been heard of for 10,000 years, the edict of the heavenly court has been issued here, I am ordered to take charge of the floods in the ten states downstream, and I will definitely try my best to do a good job, alleviate the amount of water, and repair the disaster of the river bank failure in various places." ”
Ye Qing's heart moved, and he laughed: "Congratulations to my father-in-law, who has greatly increased his authority." ”
"It's not a big increase, it's just taking advantage of the capacity and storage capacity of Taiping Lake, and the water governments of the states are still at the same level, just a temporary authority to control floods, how long can water control be treated?"
Ye Qing smiled and said nothing...... It's definitely going to last longer than you think.
Long Jun said humbly, finally thousands of years of long-cherished wish to see a ray of light, and he was in a good mood, at this time, there were no outsiders, so he couldn't help but smile: "Of course, the distribution of adjustment power is also more or less, I am in charge of water affairs, you can present any details." ”
"This flood is called a natural disaster, it is really a man-made disaster, the water control is different from the past, Qingzheng is going to Sanshui County for flood control, it is good to be able to cure a breach, if there is a hole in the view, it will be presented to your father-in-law. ”
Ye Qing didn't say it casually, he didn't pay much attention to this aspect in his previous life, even though he had ten years of experience in controlling the water in the Forgotten Land, but how could he not compare it with this eight-thousand-year-old dragon, this flood disaster was so special, he would not talk rashly before the field trip.
Long Jun nodded: "The terrain of Yingzhou is still quite high, and the flooding is not going anywhere, don't you worry...... Or what are you borrowing to buy grain?"
"In short, it is to buy grain through the guò waterway, which is related to my prediction of Xiangzhou. Ye Qing said without blushing.
"Oh?" Long Jun looked quite interested, and he still basically recognized the vision of this son-in-law.
"You said that the enemy's target is likely to be Yanghua Prototype Dongtian, and in the near future, we have ten states and one country downstream, including Northern Wei, Yingzhou, and Xiangzhou. ”
"Although Qing is not talented, he is also confident that the combat power of Dongtian is proud of the heroes, and King Wei is said to have achieved immortal king in the lower earth, and it is not a good goal to return and become stronger under the blessing of Dongtian...... Although only Xiangzhou is also yangized, the princes Zhang Weicun are in a hurry to come up, they don't have enough strength, and they just rely on the real dragon's residual energy, and they suffer a lot in front of the enemy's immortal ships. ”
Ye Qing talked eloquently and was very confident...... In fact, half of it is nonsense, and the biggest basis is that it fooled the Second Fleet of the Black Lotus Sect, can this be said?
As for why he knew about the immortal ship, it was naturally Qingmai who told him, this Long Jun would make up for it, sure enough, Long Jun listened noncommittally, and did not ask Ye Qing why he knew, but just watched: "How much analysis is reasonable, what are you going to do?"
"Press. ”
Ye Qing spit out the word, and his expression faded away.
"First of all, it is the catastrophe that comes, and the war will eventually affect disaster relief, father-in-law, you have controlled the water control in ten states for the first time, and it will take time to straighten it out like an arm, even if the water government system rescues Xiangzhou in time, this year's spring ploughing is almost ruined. ”
In this way, whoever has enough food will be able to handle political affairs relatively calmly. ”
"The more food the better, not only can appease the people, if Xiangzhou is under attack, even in the name of support, I can earn part of the hearts of the people in Xiangzhou, but also make a small profit. ”
Seeing Ye Qing's serious expression, Long Jun's face fell: "You are beggar-thy-neighbor, do you know?"
"I am your son-in-law. Ye Qing spread his hands and replied seemingly irrelevantly.
This kid is sure to eat his two daughters...... Long Jun was helpless for a while, and kept a straight face.
Ye Qing snorted, accepted it when he saw it, and continued: "If the catastrophe continues, if the enemy succeeds in taking root, the grain output will be a problem for the years when the war lasts. ”
"Xiangzhou's war potential is weakened, and it is difficult to gloat -- because the area around Xiaoxiang is a buffer for grain from neighboring states, whenever there is a shortage of grain in each state, it is often transferred from Xiaoxiang and the two states, and if Xiaoxiang is insufficient, it will deteriorate beyond control......
"But in this way, I will make a lot of money, and the losses of the surrounding nine state capitals will greatly increase except for the grassland Wei State. ”
"If I grow up, the gap will be bigger. ”
Long Jun frowned, and somewhat understood the meaning, this is not only to accumulate food, but also to establish advantages over various neighboring states, and even has the ambition to take the opportunity to devour, and he is afraid that this son has the heart to compete for the crown.
At the moment, he leaned back and said slowly: "The princes of the states are not stupid, I am afraid that they will not give you such a chance to exploit loopholes, besides, when you come back to your senses, you will know that you have calculated a lot of money, and you are not afraid of attracting the hatred of neighboring states?"
The neighboring states are not enough, and I am afraid that the imperial court is even more suspicious.
Ye Qing smiled indifferently: "I really didn't mean that now that I sprinkle the team to collect grain, it is really difficult for them to react for a while." ”
"I reacted, my grain harvest is almost over, and in the nine state capitals around, one-tenth of the harvest is the annual output of one state capital, which is enough. ”
"As for taking the first step, causing people to be jealous?" Ye Qing's smile was cold, and after the foundation was firmly established, some unnecessary caution was removed.
"The more fierce the battle, the fewer people can fully prepare with me, and in the next few years, how many of these princes will survive is a question. ”
"I have food, money, soldiers, and real people, and then the neighbors will only come to beg me, who will dare to retaliate?"
