Chapter 272: Spirit Burning Continent Raiders
In the simplest administrative division of the Tianyun Empire, 100 counties are continents, 20 continents are counties, the county seat is the lowest level in the administrative sequence, and it is also the starting point for officials to be officials.
Zhang Mo was sent to Zhengbei County as a county commander because of his contribution to the open sea, and he was already considered to have stepped into the government affairs system of the Tianyun Empire, but because the situation of Zhengbei County was too special, many identities and treatments were specious, and there was no corresponding benefit: for example, the county commander should have been an official, but because he was located in Zhengbei County, although he was the head of a county, he was just a reserve official.
Zhengbei County is full of things, if it were according to the standard of the empire's twenty continents as counties, Zhengbei County would not know how many counties it would become, but until now, there is only one Zhengbei County, and there is only one county guard, and the standard has already been greatly exceeded, from this point of view, Zhang Mo, the weight of the governor of the continent, is not as sufficient as imagined.
But no matter what, one of the benefits of reality is that after becoming the governor of the continent, Zhang Mo is already a member of the Tianyun Empire, and is no longer the previous reserve official, although the recorded official book is the official book of Zhengbei County, not the official book of the capital of the Tianyun Empire, but the treatment that should be received is not missing a cent, and it can be regarded as a huge progress.
The Son of Heaven had just retreated inexplicably, although it did not cause the expected damage to the county guard-they thought that Qingxuan Zhenshen Thunder would have to be split for a few months--but he also made a disgraced face and suffered heavy casualties, Diao Deyun still had a lot of things to deal with, and after arranging Zhang Mo's affairs, he immediately turned around and left, as for the corresponding procedures, naturally someone will handle it, and he doesn't need to worry about this kind of trivial matter anymore.
In Diao Deyun's view, Zhang Mo's identity when he returned from the sea is destined to work hard outside, and he can't return to the county guard mansion like everyone else, this is the unanimous opinion of the government affairs system, and he can't break the rules, so no matter how good the other party's qualifications and talents are, they are destined to completely sink in Zhengbei County: it is difficult to become a monk in this world, and if you want to become a martial arts God of War Temple, you will never accept it, on the one hand, you can't do it, and on the other hand, you can't integrate into it, which is equivalent to being firmly bound to death in the local area!
The people who returned from the open sea are all such fates, others don't know, but Diao Deyun, who holds the official book of Zhengbei County, is very clear, these people are all people with luck, and they are also driven by the Heavenly Fortune Empire, even if they don't do anything, they can invisibly wipe out Beirong's luck, so many years, the Heavenly Fortune Empire has invested countless in Zhengbei County, but not all of them are in vain, and the influence of Zhengbei County on the empire is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.
Zhang Mo didn't know the calculation behind this, he took a set of items that had just been issued to him, and counted them little by little, such as public seals and private seals to distinguish clearly, these things have different uses, not that a big seal can be unimpeded, and official robes and daily clothes should also be distinguished, these clothes are all special, in addition to the treasure of materials, there are various battle marks and formations engraved on it, such as dust removal and spirit possession, which are both clothes and battle robes, and they are very comfortable to wear.
Moreover, Diao had to give Zhang Mo the privilege, and he had the final say on the affairs of Lingyan Continent, so the authority to appoint county orders and officials should also be given to him accordingly, which was another set of cumbersome items handover and formalities, which can be said to be a thousand things.
Fortunately, Zhang Mo is not alone, after training in Mingfeng City, Yamada, Yuan Kuocheng, Song Yaonan, and Liu Shu can all be in charge of themselves, Zhong Lizhi and Zheng Ziping are not vases, everyone worked together and quickly got things done.
Because of the cultivation of the Soul Pure Land cultivation method, and because they have all awakened their souls by chance, the attack of Qing Xuanzhen Divine Thunder just now, although there has been a certain amount of damage to their Soul Pure Land, but they have all persevered, compared to those monks who have suffered heavy casualties, it is much better, and the soul has also been cleansed, which is not without benefits, and the strength shown makes the monks who are alive in the county guard mansion no longer dare to underestimate it.
The formalities were done very quickly, and the news that Zhang Mo got out of the house spread very quickly, before Zhang Mo did not hesitate, he expressed his contempt for these Jindan real people in the county guard's mansion, no one in the county guard's mansion looked at him pleasing to the eye, if it wasn't for the persecution of the Son of Heaven just now, so that they had no spare strength, I think someone would have found a way to kill them because Zhang Mo and their cultivation was not high.
Zhang Mo doesn't care, he came to the county guard's mansion, he was originally going through the formalities, and when he encountered the attack of the Son of Heaven, it was a big accident, and now that the accident factor has disappeared, he naturally wants to return to his normal channels, just go, and there is no loss.
Speaking of which, he still felt inexplicable, how could he be so unlucky and directly meet the Son of Heaven of the God of War Temple, but how could he be so lucky, in this earth-shattering change, he actually got the cultivation technique of the Heart Sutra of Suppressing Prisons, and spiritual cultivation is no longer a shortcoming!
Holding the big seal that had just arrived in his hand, feeling the sparse mana inside, Zhang Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly: I thought I had found a way to cultivate the Hell Suppression Body, but I didn't expect that I would have to find a way to solve the problem of mana.
In Linwu County, because Zhang Mo came into contact with mana, he actually found that when he refined the mana of the Hell Suppressor Body, he would let himself feel the hidden Hegemon Rune, which made him see the hope of cultivating the first layer of the Hell Hell Overlord Body to the consummation realm, so he made up his mind to enter the government affairs system and use mana to cultivate the Hell Hell Overlord.
But what did he see now? The mana in the Great Seal had fallen to such an extent, this was the Great Seal of a continent, and the mana in it was not as much as that of Linwu County, and it was even less than one-tenth of that of Linwu County, what the hell was going on?!
For mana, Zhang Mo also has some of his own understanding, after leaving Linwu County, he paid great attention to collecting news in this regard, and later met Sun Qingzhen and You Qiugu Zhenren, one is a disciple of the Dayan Tianji Sect who knows many secrets, and the other is a disciple of the Boundless Sect who is well-informed, and all of them have become reserve party members of the Prison Party, providing Zhang Mo with a lot of useful information, and his understanding of mana has gradually taken shape.
In Zhang Mo's view, mana represents a kind of ruling power, which is within the scope of the rule represented by the Great Seal, and the recognition and obedience of the creatures under your rule to your rule, every bit of recognition is a unit of mana, because it comes from each specific and different person, so mana is very complicated, and it is also an important reason why it cannot be used for cultivation.
Of course, the conversion process is very subtle, mana can become the most important means of the government affairs system, so that Jin Yao can resist Zhang Mo's attack with mana alone to build a defense under the condition that his cultivation is so low, naturally it will not be such a simple thing, otherwise, why can this method only be used by the Heavenly Fortune Empire? Why can't other sects and forces use it?!
Zhang Mo didn't want to think about these deep-seated problems, thinking that even if he figured it out, it would be useless, and the most important thing he was scratching his head now was how to increase the mana he controlled, because if he didn't have mana, he would come to Zhengbei County for nothing, and the biggest goal would not be achieved, so what was the point of staying here?!
"Mana comes from the recognition of the people under my rule, this is the most basic thing, no matter how mysterious the conversion process is, there will be nothing wrong with this basic point!" "Holding the big seal, Zhang Mo Si said after paying it again; "Then, what I need to do is to manage it well, if I can make the residents under my rule agree with my management and the management of the Heavenly Fortune Empire, then mana will not be a problem!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help grinning, and thought with some embarrassment: "It's not an ordinary difficulty to do this, the Tianyun Empire has been operating in Zhengbei County for countless years, and it can only accumulate such a little bit of mana in the land of a continent, how can I make the warriors of Beirong agree with the rule of the Tianyun Empire, this is really a troublesome thing!"
Thinking about it, Zhang Mo didn't have a clue, and subconsciously began to deduce it in the earth, because the ghost cultivators such as the Elder of the Wind entered the earth, so the current earth has become completely different from the earth that Zhang Mo is familiar with, all kinds of ideological conflicts, various schools of thought, and there are also members of the prison party from time to time to use their own self to change the ghost cultivation in the pure land of their souls to the earth, those who can't condense the talisman are naturally dead, but there are many people who have condensed the talisman and become a member of the party outside the prison, all of them are living on the earth.
However, no matter how it changes, this is Zhang Mo's earth, with the change of his mind, various scenes began to appear in turn, and various situations are constantly changing. In different situations, they made different responses, because they were a member of the Extreme Martial Arts, so their responses had a very obvious style of the Extreme Martial Arts, because they were already a member of the Prison Suppression Party, so they also had an obvious trajectory of Prison Suppression, and in their running-in, the concept of Prison Suppression was not only more and more perfect, but also more and more suitable for the Extreme Martial Arts.
Since the departure of the county guard's mansion, Zhang Mo has been constantly looking for a way, and when he was about to go to the Spirit Burning Continent, he finally had a general direction in his heart, looking at the bustling city in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "What do you want to do so much, since things are already like this, then do it well, if it can be done, it is naturally a good thing, even if it can't be successful, I have other ways to comprehend the Hegemon Rune, and the cultivation of the Hell Hell Hegemon will not stop because of this, what is there to be afraid of, just let it go!" ”
After Zhang Mo made up his mind about the matter, he had already come to Lingyan City, which is a big city, from a distance, Zhang Mo felt that in terms of scale alone, this city was not much worse than the first-tier cities on the earth, but there were no rows of high-rise buildings, more of a wide courtyard, although the high-rise buildings were not nothing, but they were not the mainstream.
Zhang Mo has seen many big cities in the Extreme Martial Realm, and he has lived here for a long time, so he knows that it is not that the Extreme Martial Realm does not have the ability to build high-rise buildings, whether it is a battle scar or a formation, there is no problem in maintaining a tall and big building, the question is whether there is such a need.
The Extreme Martial Realm has a vast area, abundant spiritual energy, and the living resources are not so tight, and everyone can cultivate, and there is absolutely no shortage of living materials, so there are more hermits in the wild and scattered, and although there are many big towns that are really gathered together, there is no need to exchange high-rise buildings for space.
Those high-rise buildings, are built with a special role, really used to live or very little, a place has a place of situation, not to say that high-rise buildings are considered civilized, only to be considered wealthy, those courtyards that cover a wide area, you do not enter it, it is difficult to know what kind of wealth is gathered inside.
Entering the Spirit Burning City, which is not a tall city, and coming to the most conspicuous Governor's Mansion in the middle, looking at the barren scene, Zhang Mo has a new understanding of how difficult the work he is about to carry out: there is not even a person here, and the faces of those warriors who look at him are all wary and disgusted, and it is really not ordinary to make them obey his rule!
"Well, we've come to a new place. Zhang Mo did not show any emotions because of the bad environment, and said to others very excitedly: "This is a new beginning, but also a new test, I believe that the situation of Lingyan Continent, everyone is already clear, and the situation of Zhengbei County, everyone is also very clear, what I want to tell you is that what we are going to face is not difficulties but opportunities, this is a completely undeveloped place, this is a place that contains countless possibilities." ”
Yamada and the others are all old party members of the Prison Party, of course, they will not show a very excited demeanor because of Zhang Mo's few words, but they also do not show disappointment or even despair because the situation in front of them is very unfavorable, they are very calm!
"Let me tell you a story. Zhang Mo didn't enter the mansion for the first time, and said to his hardcore direct family outside: "There are two shoe manufacturers, and they each have an excellent salesman to expand their business. ”
Because everyone has a Soul Pure Land, and everyone has evolved the progressive form of the earth in the Soul Pure Land because of Zhang Mo's story, so they can understand what Zhang Mo said, especially under the penetration of the concept of prison suppression, their thoughts are highly unified.
I only heard Zhang Mo continue: "They came to an island together, this island is isolated from the world, there is a group of primitive tribes, although they have escaped the life of Ru Mao and drinking blood, but they have not benefited from the industrialization process, and the living conditions are very backward. ”
"None of them have their own shoes, one of the salesmen saw this situation, very disappointed and thought, 'They don't even wear shoes, this is troublesome, there is no business opportunity, let's go back quickly, and then go to open up a new place', and the other salesman came here, and said with great joy' It's good that they don't even wear shoes here, that's because they don't know the benefits of wearing shoes, as long as I let them understand the benefits of wearing shoes, they will buy shoes to wear, and when the time comes, the people on the whole island will be our customers, and I will be developed now." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Mo looked at Yuan Kuocheng and the others, who already looked a little enlightened, and said to them: "In fact, many things, a dead end is not necessarily a dead end, and a dead end may not be a dead end, if we can change our perspective, if we can change our thinking, and then put in enough effort, we may open up a completely different new world!"
In the story, the salesman who had a new idea, because of the courage to pay, finally got a rich reward, he made the people of the entire island, have become their stable source of customers, even if other manufacturers come in the future, but because the people on the island have identified them, so they can't compete with them. ”
When Song Yaonan heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Leader, we know what you mean, but the thinking of the Beirong warriors is not just that they don't have to wear shoes, after so many years, the Heavenly Fortune Empire has introduced them to a lot of the benefits of wearing shoes, but they don't accept shoes at all, how can you let us do it?!"
Reasoning through storytelling, this is a very common method used by Zhang Mo when he first preached the concept of prison suppression, Yamada and Yuan Kuocheng are still experts in storytelling, and the evolution in the Pure Land of the Soul is mostly in the form of stories, so it is never taboo for others to ask questions, and what Song Yaonan raised is indeed the most difficult question.
Zhang Mo smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago, everything has contradictions, the Heavenly Fortune Empire has contradictions with martial artists in Beirong, that is the main contradiction, as long as we analyze the main line of contradictions and work hard to find a way to solve them, we will definitely be able to make them wear shoes." ”
"This process is definitely not so easy, the people of the Heavenly Fortune Empire are not wine bags and rice bags, the problem that has not been solved for so long, we can't expect that three times and five divided by two can be completely solved, but as long as our direction is right, it will definitely be solved. ”
There were already some martial artists gathered outside, Zhang Mo could see that their eyes were full of ridicule when they looked at him, knowing that these were the eyes of the big forces in the Spirit Burning Continent, and said indifferently: "I firmly believe that we can do this, because we are the Prison Suppression Party, we have our own Prison Suppression Concept, we have our own way of doing things, and we have our own ideal goals." ”
Between Zhang Mo's words, the conciseness and meaning that had been transformed from the witty words of the sound and hearing were superb, and he used them unconsciously, and said very infectiously: "Comrades, the Spirit Burning Continent will be our starting point, and no one can change this, the Prison Party will take root here and grow into a towering tree, this is an unstoppable process!"
"But!" Zhang Mo changed his words and said, "The first thing we have to do now is to clean up the official residence properly!"
