Chapter 180: Your Own Thing Belongs to You
Chapter 180: What Belongs to Oneself
Liu Ziqing found that his dedication had fallen into the void, and Yun Duo didn't care how the immortals would test his teleportation array in Fenglingdu. He was stunned for a moment, a little disappointed, so his tone was lazy: "I used to work in South Korea, and I don't know much about the situation in other countries, but I heard that the Yan, Zhao, Wei, Tang, and Qin countries in the border area, their small border counties, the population of one county is only seven or eight hundred.
Now I don't know, the immortal chief intends to treat this thousand households as a middle county or a lower county seat?"
Zhongxian and Xia County are directly related to Liu Ziqing's official rank and wealth, however, Yun Duo also doesn't care too much about this, he is a master who is not bad for money, so he waved his hand casually: "Count it as Zhongxian." β
Liu Ziqing's spirits perked up, and he immediately asked: "Zhongxian County is expected to set up three townships, does the immortal chief plan to set up these three townships?"
Yun Duo nodded: "Then set up three towns." β
Liu Ziqing immediately snapped his fingers and began to calculate: "Next, I don't know how many households the immortal chief plans to place in the county seat." If I were to say that I intend to divide one hundred and fifty households, and to settle fifty inhabitants in each town, that would be enough, and that would be enough for the remaining seven hundred and fifty families to be settled in the cityβonly when the city prospers, can the town below prosper.
What's more, we are in the depths of the Demon Beast Forest, and the town outside is extremely unsafe, and if there are many people in it, we may lose the population for nothing......"
When the other party said this, Yun Duo squinted at Liu Ziqing in surprise: "I established a city in Moyunling, and the monks all talked about it, thinking that it was extremely unsafe, but I didn't expect you, a greedy official, to be worried at all, but to discuss how to build a city with great interest...... You have a kind. β
Liu Ziqing smiled. Slowly opened his clenched fist and smiled dejectedly: "Immortal Chief, where is not life, for us prisoners, living is the most important, and how to live today is the most important." As for tomorrow, how dare you think about it. β
Yun Duo waved his hand and ordered: "Have all the people you had there? If all the relocated households have arrived, gather them all, and I will say a few words casually, and everyone will get to know each other." β
Jieyin City has been upgraded to Jieyin Mansion, the urban area here is expanding, and several small towns under its jurisdiction are now also upgraded to county seats. In order to cooperate with the second wave of the offensive of the monks. The overlord of the continent, the Qi State, and the Taiyue Gate, the first sect of the Xiuzhen Realm, continued to move people to this abandoned land. As a result, the entire Jieyin Mansion is under construction, and new outsiders continue to move into the city of Jieyin Mansion. Of course, these newly relocated civilians were all prisoners sent by mainland countries, and their relocation was escorted by government personnel.
The continuous stream of new people who moved into Jieyin Mansion expanded the urban area of the original Jieyin City. For this reason, the Xuantianmen forcibly demolished the houses around Mochizuki Lake. The circle around Mochizuki Lake has become the exclusive forbidden place of the Xuantian Gate, and the demolished houses have not yet had time to be built, so that a square can accommodate nearly 10,000 people.
Yun Duo boarded a painting boat floating on Mochizuki Lake, and he stood on the deck in front of the painting boat, looking at the people under his name, and swept it over. He counted the number of the people: eight thousand and three in all.
There are 1,000 families of prisoners, all of whom are charged with various crimes. Of course, it cannot be said that these people are all human scum, and in a powerful society, they are not criminals if they are not law-abiding...... But. Yun Duo has no intention of pursuing the truth of their charges, and he plans to follow a legendary story and take out one chopstick, two chopsticks, and a pair of chopsticks to proclaim the power of unity to the people under his name.
In fact, this preaching was not aimed at the common people, he wanted to target the fighters under his name. Yun Duo found that he had put too much emphasis on self-awareness in the past and neglected the concept of team honor, so here he wanted to add a little bit of team awareness to the monks.
Of course, if these chopsticks were tossed by a monk, no matter how many chopsticks there were, a Qi cultivator would be able to easily break them all. It can't play the due warning role at all, so the clouds can only preach to the people like a tiger.
After preaching on the power of unity, Yun Duo did not explain at length, he only said one sentence: "Come with me, I will take you to build a city of your own...... Well, that's all. β
After saying this, the clouds waved away from the boat.
At that time, people did not appreciate the profound meaning of the phrase clouds. But many years later, when the first batch of old immigrants in Moyun City talked about this moment, they always used various myths to render the original memory, and later people thought that no matter what words were used to render the sacredness of that moment, it would not be too much.
In fact, the scene at that time was not shocking, and even Liu Ziqing, who was present, did not realize the meaning of Yunduo's words - in this sentence, a new Heavenly Dao was born. But the clouds slapped their butts and left.
Next, Liu Ziqing was busy selecting manpower, and he began to register the skilled people among the displaced people, and decided to select carpenters, blacksmiths, bricklayers, sewing craftsmen, and others to be placed in the city, and as for those farmers who had no skills at all and could only farm the land, he had to select 150 strong and responsive people, and prepared to be assigned to the three townships below the county seat.
Eight thousand and three people were completely selected, which can be regarded as a huge project. When Liu Ziqing completed the selection and visited Yunduo with the list he selected, Huang Wan'er and Wei Qing'er came forward to receive him in the Xuantianmen Courtyard.
The two girls announced at the beginning: "The master said that the backbone of our team is the foundation building monks, so the work of managing the households should be handed over to the qi practitioners, we are the first wave to be selected to be responsible for civil affairs, you have something to tell us in the future." β
Liu Ziqing handed over the list he had selected, and asked with a blank eye: "Where did Qingzhu Zhenren go, I have already selected the people, now there are more and more foreign households, and the Jieyin Mansion is becoming more and more crowded, when can we leave, and how are we going to go along the way? Do you want to hire a dart team?"
Huang Wan'er turned her gaze to Wei Qing'er...... Well, Wei Qing'er is the first registered disciple of Yun Duo, so in the sect, her status is higher than that of Huang Wan'er. Wei Qing'er is also a decisive person. She immediately replied: "Master Venerable has been planning the route of action in the past few days, and he is going to set up another teleportation array in Moyun City, so that our people can directly reach Moyun City through the teleportation array." However, the terrain along the road still needs to be surveyed. This is a road that we must be familiar with......"
Wei Qing'er lowered her head and immediately picked up: "Shizun plans to leave tomorrow, so let's do it, you leave the list, and choose two entourages to go with Shizun, and you must also be familiar with the surrounding terrain." Well, Shizun brought the fighters of the clan this time...... Let's put it this way, the dart team of Jieyin City in the past. In fact, they are all properties under the name of Shizun, and they are jointly operated by Shizun and two or three other monks, you go to find ...... This person, let him draw 30 guards from each dart board, we will often take this route in the future, this time your guards will also go from the dart board. β
Liu Ziqing sighed, and immediately asked thoughtfully: "I heard." Each city is assigned an Overseer to count the days. Our Warlord should have arrived, right?"
Huang Wan'er immediately interjected: "It's none of your business, you hurry up and choose your entourage." β
Walking from the ground to Moyunling, first, as a combatant, you must be familiar with the surrounding terrain and understand the surrounding environment. The second is that after arriving in Jieyin City, the danger of flying in the air is getting bigger and bigger - now the situation in the Demon Beast Forest is a mess, and the demon clan is very hostile to humans. The clouds also did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to be attacked by the demon clan while flying in the air.
You must know that the flight speed of many demon clans is fast, and in addition to flying demon beasts such as Qingyun Dapeng, Bi Fang, and Fire Crow in the forest, there are also many spiritual energy bombs that can be spit out by demon beasts, and these things are very fast. Like bullets and cannonballs, even if they were infant monks, they would have a headache if they were asked to resist attacks like bullets and cannonballs with their physical bodies.
Therefore, the clouds would rather measure the earth with their feet this time, and approached Moyunling from the ground little by little.
As soon as Yun Duo left Jieyin Mansion, Ji Wuyuan's team almost entered the city with Yun Duo's front and back feet. After this guy arrived at Jieyin Mansion, it happened that Qingli also opened up a sales situation. Batches of relocated households, who originally planned to move to the city where they were distributed, have now begun to teleport themselves to Jieyin Mansion through the "mail" teleportation array set up by the clouds, and then continue to their destinations - this means Qi Shao's comprehensive victory, and it also means that Fenglingdu has tacitly accepted that this "post" express line can transmit mortals.
When Ji Wuyuan approached the Xuantianmen Courtyard, a whole group of mortals happened to be teleported over, and the escort of the mortals led this team of people and horses, and they left the Xuantianmen Courtyard in a bustling manner, and the surging flow of people squeezed Ji Wuyuan to the side of the gate.
Ji Wuyuan, who was standing on the side of the door, of course knew the origin of this pair of mortals, and he had a gloomy face, but he did not refute this phenomenon loudly, and waited until the entire team of mortals completely left the courtyard. Ji Wuyuan looked at the Xuantianmen monk at the gate of the courtyard, and continued to ask with a gloomy face: "What about the people of the Seventh Clan?" Tell them that the war supervisors belonging to them are here, and let them come out to greet them. β
The monk guarding at the gate rolled his eyes arrogantly: "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to meet this request of Daoyou, haha, the people of the seventh team have already left, well, just now, they have already left the city." If Daoyou turn around right now, you might be able to catch up with them. β
Ji Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, and asked unconvincedly: "All gone, and there is no one in charge left?"
The monk guarding the door grinned: "Yes, all the participants are gone, and there are some people left, and it can't be said that they are all members of the Seventh Clan, they are actually the logistics support personnel of our entire Xuantian Gate." β
"Notify them to come out ......"
The gatekeeper cut off Ji Wuyuan's words: "Forgive me for being rude, fellow Daoist, I can't inform them. Hehe, you are the Warlord of the Seventh Warband, I know this, but I have a total of ten Warlords in the Xuantianmen, and there are a total of twenty Warlords. I don't know what about the other Warlords, but the Warseers of the Seventh Warband, we don't accept them in this annex.
Fellow Daoists, there are many monk inns built along Mochizuki Lake, you can either chase out of the city now and catch up with the pace of the Seventh Sentai Team, or go to the city to find an inn to live in, and then wait for the follow-up news from the Seventh Sentai Team. β
Ji Wuyuan was furious: "You ...... Why don't you have a grudge against the Seventh Sentai Clan?"
The monk guarding the door smiled slightly and replied, "This, I won't tell you, you bite me?"
Ji Wuyuan raised his hand, ready to give a hard lesson to the monk guarding the door, but saw the monk squinting. looked at him coldly, and was eager to wait for you to make a move.
Ji Wuyuan's eyes flashed, and he realized that the monk's middle finger was covered with a black crystal wrench, which was very familiarβit was a unique auxiliary attack weapon produced by Iris Valley: the Heaven Snatching Ring.
"You did it on purpose", Ji Wuyuan pointed to the monk guarding the door, he trembled with anger: "I'm sure you have no enmity with Iris Valley. I'm sure you don't have an ordinary relationship with them, how dare you ......"
"What do I have to do with them, and what does it matter to you?" The monk guarding the gate was only in the Qi refining period, but he was fearless in the face of Ji Wuyuan's foundation.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, Ji Wuyuan decided to endure this breath again - he was a war overseer, and he could tell the seventh team that it was true. It can be said that the fate of the entire Seventh Clan is in his hands, but the annex of Xuantianmen is not under his control. The people in the courtyard are not among the combatants.
The power in a powerful society only works for those who recognize the whole city, and if you don't recognize this power, then the power is a joke.
Okay, Ji Wuyuan decided that this guy at the door had already been in the other courtyard for enough years, and he was about to return to the sect to retreat and cultivate.
In this way, Ji Wuyuan really couldn't handle the other party.
Took a breath. Ji Wuyuan decided to find an inn in the city to stay.
It's true that he's an overseer, but it's a pity. Yun Duo walked cleanly, leaving him with few guards, so that when Ji Wuyuan rushed over from Fenglingdu, he could only hire Fenglingdu's dart team to escort him all the way. Now, the dart team escorted him to the Jieyin Mansion, and the mission has been completed. He was left to walk the rest on his own, and if he didn't hire a team, he would go alone...... Ji Wuyuan didn't have the courage to go into the forest alone.
Of course, walking alone in the Demon Beast Forest, many foundation building monks don't have the guts...... None of these foundation-building monks knew that there had been a child. Without any aura on his body, he dared to walk alone in the demon beast forest and live. At that time, this child relied not on personal cultivation, but on wisdom.
Returning to the Demon Beast Forest, the clouds seemed like a fish in water, and he happily walked along the avenue leading to Jieyang Town, oh, now Jieyang Town should be called Jieyang City.
This group of people included a Jindan monk - Biting, and nine Zhuji (plus Yun Duo himself), as well as fifty Qi practitioners who participated in the battle, and thirty dart team members who were familiar with the local situation, plus twenty monks of the Alchemy Workshop of the Iris Valley Refining Workshop, in addition to two entourages led by Liu Ziqing, a full one hundred and seven people, all of whom rode the land walking beast of Jieyin Mansion - wildebeest.
The monks are in a hurry without luggage, their carry-on luggage is in storage, Iris Valley is a recognized wealthy faction in the Spiral Gate, and the monks in the valley have more than one storage device, so everyone seems to be dressed simply.
Angry horses are freshly dressed, their clothes are fluttering, and the spring breeze is proud, walking on the spacious road, which should have attracted the envy and jealousy of countless people, but now there are very few pedestrians on the road. I saw that the trees on both sides of the road were full of traces of smoke and fire, showing the cruelty and randomness of the battles in the past.
Liu Ziqing was protected in the center of the team, he rode a particularly handsome wildebeest, because the immortals in the team were not in a hurry, so even if they were mortals, Liu Ziqing was still able to keep up with the team, and he had the leisure to chant a poem and sigh about the war in front of him.
β...... Looking at it from afar, it is the Jun family, and the pine and cypress mounds are tired. The rabbit enters from the dog's sinus, and the pheasant flies from the beam.
The atrium gives birth to the valley, and the inoue gives birth to the wild sunflower. When I went out and looked east, tears fell on my clothes (edited and adapted by Chinese poems)......"
Liu Ziqing shook his head and chanted on the horse.
To tell the truth, in the bones of the clouds, there is still some residual literary and youthful temperament, hearing Liu Ziqing's poems, he smacked his lips, tasted it a little, and immediately praised: "You corrupt official, the writing is really good, the poems recited are very tasteful." β
Liu Ziqing arched his hand again and again: "There, there." β
Who knew that Yunduo's words immediately took a sharp turn: "I used to say that 'each other is born from the heart' is unreliable, and now it seems that 'the text is like its person' is also unreliable, ah, maybe 'the word is like its person' is even more unreliable." β
Wen is like his person, of course, it is unreliable - for example, the guy who wrote the poem "Sweat drops and grass go down to the soil, and every grain is hard" and other sympathetic poems, he has to eat a dish made of a thousand bird's tongues in one meal, and throw it into the sewer if he can't finish it, and he doesn't care at all about "every grain is hard".
Another example is Tao Yuanming, who "doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice" - he only bends his waist for 50,000 buckets of rice. It is said that after this guy embezzled a large amount of grain, he abandoned the official and absconded before the arrival of the inspector official, and shouted "do not bend his waist for five buckets of rice" before abandoning the official, leaving the famous work "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" through the ages, in order to show that his noble character will not be corrupt, and has been praised by the ages.
Yun Duo clapped his hands and said with emotion: "It can be seen that what determines a person's character can only be the specific things that a person does, and it is never his appearance, nor the articles he writes, nor the words he writes......
Qin Hui, who invented the imitation Song style, and Song Huizong, who invented the golden style, did the words they write reflect their corruption, or does it reflect their IQ?
Of course, it is not his behavior that determines his character.
Yun Duo's feelings for the big corrupt official Liu Ziqing are very subtle, in essence, he hates the other party's behavior, but his hatred is not as empathetic as in the past, and Liu Ziqing has been very shrewd and capable during this time, and it makes Yun Duo faintly feel in his heart that he has to look at things with a changing eye - his past crimes do not mean that everything he is now is a crime.
Building a city in Moyunling was a risky act in the eyes of the monks, but Liu Ziqing did this work in full swing, and the other party was enthusiastic about it. Let the clouds feel full of positive energy. For this reason, Yunduo decides to ignore his past crimes for the time being.
Perhaps, he can think that Liu Ziqing has paid the price for his past corruption crimes, he has atoned for his crimes, and now he is absolutely innocent.
The monks marched very fast, and at about sunset, Jieyang Town was already vividly visible, and the clouds were standing outside the west gate of Jieyang Town, and they hesitated for a while. (To be continued......)
