Chapter 430: The Eastern Tour
Kunlun is called Zhengtai for six years, and Sword Sect is called the first year of sincerity. In the autumn of the year, Lin'er and I invited Ji Xiaoai to have tea and entrusted the two of us with the affairs after the eastern tour.
Although there was no war between Kunlun and the Sword Sect, the confrontation between the north and the south was a fait accompli. Kunlun took over the Great Wall that the demon kingdom had not been damaged in the Great War, and it was solid from Yandi to Zhaodi. Only the first-line city of Chang'an is not solid.
When the patriarch was alive, Kunlun once planned to move the spiritual veins of the Hanging Garden to the Western Regions, laying a foundation and increasing the weight of Kunlun in the west of Middle Earth. Now that the patriarch has passed away, there is no return to the void in the door, and no one has the way to cross the western ocean and move the giant mountain smoothly for tens of thousands of miles, so it has to be put aside for the time being. I then sent Le Zhenren to sit in the west and operate the city fortress south of Chang'an.
Within ten years, it can only be simplified because of ugliness, and the Yangqiu City Four Seas View will be used as a temporary Kunlun base camp. The spiritual veins of Zhao Di were scattered everywhere, and the people of the halls of each courtyard also had to travel regularly to cultivate everywhere.
Many affairs are on track, Lin'er and I are preparing to leave Yangqiu City and go to the east to inspect the Dark Cloud City rebuilt by Wuma Juzi, to appease the Yandi Demon Clan, to recruit the remnants of the Northern Wilderness Monsters, to visit Nangong Panshi in the Qi Kingdom, and to plan with him to recruit the remnants of the Eastern Ocean Star Sect.
I handed over the black spider pendant to Ji Xiaoai, and ordered her to use the Ten Absolute Array Diagram to train the disciples of the Duren Academy, and prepare for the mountains and rivers in thirty years.
In my mind, Ji Xiaoai, the owner of the Duren Academy, is also an ideal candidate for the future head. After Lin'er and I went to the Sevenfold Pagoda to cultivate, the affairs of one door would also be entrusted to her. Delivering the Ten Peerless Array Diagram to her is also my hope that Senior Sister Ji will be promoted to a real person as soon as possible.
Ji Xiaoai took this Ten Absolute Array with emotion. From Zhuge Mei, Fang Qiong, Demon Monkey, Mei Wucheng, and then to Yuan Zhi, after a lot of hardships, this picture finally fell into the hands of Kunlun.
"She finally gave you the picture. Alas, it's a pity that she has only been dead for a year, and few people in the world remember her. Let us erect a tower in her memory. Ji Xiaoai said.
"Not necessarily. The living is the best tombstone for the dead, and she has always lived in my heart. ”
I said.
Lin'er was silent, and there was no joy or sorrow on her face. We reached a tacit understanding between us, and when the two got along, no one would mention Yuan Zhi. I miss Yuan Zhi alone, and Lin'er doesn't interfere.
Ji Xiaoai shook her head, "It seems that although she is dead, she is immortal in your heart." ”
Ji Xiaoai said again: "It's been a year, and you, the emperor, haven't seen Emperor Taizheng yet." Now I have to travel far again, and I don't know when I will return. Before leaving, you must meet him, after all, Kunlun still uses his year name. One-third of the people of the Kunlun territory are our people, one-third are the monsters of the commander of Lin Xian, but the other one-third are still nominally the emperor's county people, they don't know the cultivators, only the official government. ”
Ji Xiaoai has dedicated her land, army, and people to the Kunlun Presbyterian Church, which is no different from a Taoist priest, but she temporarily retains the title of Marquis of Wen to win the hearts of the people of the Taizheng Dynasty.
Most of the land in Kunlun was not given by the Taisho Emperor, and it was all taken by our strength, and the monsters and people of those territories had no feelings for the Taisho Dynasty. The so-called Dazheng County under the rule of Kunlun is concentrated in the area of Chang'an, but it has not experienced war here, and it is the most prosperous land in Kunlun. The important governors of these counties were all from the shogunate of Ji Xiaoai. However, there are more petty officials who are not under her control, and many have fled to the territory of Yuwen Batu in the south, countless towns and counties are ungoverned, and thieves are swarming.
I said, "It's just time to get rid of the old and cloth the new." ”
Ji Xiaoai persuaded, "You promised the Council of Elders that you would not expand the ethnic system all over the world, so don't break your promise." The county system and the people's system have their own shortcomings and strengths, and they should not be abandoned. The people of the county are simple and diligent, and can feed Kunlun with enough food and soldiers, cultivate medicinal fields, and develop spiritual veins, but their desires are weak, and they have no desire to make progress; the people of the county have many desires and disturbances, chase new and different, and are full of wine and wealth, but it is precisely in this way that they can circulate department stores and revitalize all industries. What the ancestors expect is a peach blossom source where the people do not interact with each other until the old and the dead, and the voices of chickens and dogs are heard. But the Sword Sect is watching from the sidelines, and it can't tolerate our retro. ”
I laughed and said, "I get it." I'm not talking about the abolition of the counties, but about the hollowing out of the rule of the Taisho Emperor. We borrowed his name from the hearts of Anding County, his people are like meat boiling soup, and there is no need to eat soup after Ao soup. Anyway, I am still the Emperor, and my Dharma purpose is the same as his holy decree. In the past, Senior Sister Ji conquered the western soil, and the shogunate was full of ten talents, and Chang'an was governed in an orderly manner. Now that the officials of Chang'an have run away, we are just hiring civil officials to govern the counties from all over the world. ”
"What do you mean?" Ji Xiaoai said curiously.
I said, "Following the example of our Elders in Kunlun, invite the ten families who have attached to us to form a new Council of Elders to govern the counties of North Zhongtu, and they will recruit and evaluate the civil officials of the various yamen in the counties. In fact, the imperial examination of the Taisho Dynasty has been abolished for a long time, and the officials in various places are all out of the private intentions of the princes. Kunlun replaced the shogunate, which had elected officials in the past, with the Ten United Elders' Church. Ten families are unhappy to be born, and there are many people who actively enter the WTO, so Kunlun will let them operate the red dust and show what they have learned: the people of the Mo family's Ministry of Labor, the people of the Merchant Family, the people of the Farmer's Department, the soldiers, the people of the Martial Arts Department, the people of the Criminal Department, the people of Dali Temple, the Confucianism, and the people of the Zongheng Family. Running funerals and raising orphans and the elderly is an empty matter. Kunlun only needs to supervise the small number of ten elders. ”
Lin'er said: "Senior Sister Ji, this is actually my father's idea. When the patriarch was there, he hid it in his heart and never said it. Now it has been changed and the name of the original monarch is hung. ”
Ji Xiaoai pondered: "In this case, the emperor of Taisho will become a complete hypocrisy, and we will also have something to reward and attach to our ten families to join the WTO." It can also be piloted. ”
I said: "I think the regent of Yuwen Batu is only a civil and military official selected according to his own will, but he is the shogunate that is the largest one." I want to see if the ten families work together to govern well, or if he governs well with his own efforts. ”
Ji Xiaoai said: "We only have half of the ten now. ”
I said, "When the Ten Elders' Association makes a contribution, more Ten Families will defect to Kunlun from the south and from all over the world." So, I don't see Emperor Taisho. The Ten Families must understand that it was Kunlun that gave them the power to govern the world, not the emperor. Senior Sister Ji, let's go east, and you will take the lead in recruiting the Ten Elders' Association. ”
Ji Xiaoai said: "It's okay." Then I'll wait for you to come back. ”
I nodded and said, "At that time, Kunlun's northern middle earth was completely stable, and we had the confidence to fight or make peace with the regent of Yuwen Batu in the south. ”
Lin'er and I embarked on a journey to the east, and she and I were still dressed as Lion Nameless and Yao Little Demon, only revealing the Taoism of ordinary qi refiners.
Now my magic weapons have been replaced by the Green Lion Armor, the Infinity Hammer, and the Silver Gourd. The silver gourd was inherited from the Daomen, experienced the whole patriarch and the water patriarch, and came to my hands, and since then I have set the silver gourd as the letter of the head of Kunlun.
