Chapter Eighty-Four: Three Years
In the early morning, the sky had just broken and the pale blue sky was still studded with a few sparse remnant stars.
However, the people who live in Chentangguan have already gotten up early and started their day's work, and the merchants coming and going at the gate of the city have already been in an endless stream.
Since the new commander-in-chief, Lord Li Jing, took charge, Chen Tangguan has changed the state of not pooping three years ago and no one cares. It seems that this is no longer the frontier of the Great Shang, and has become a commercial center in the eastern part of the Great Shang.
Under the wise leadership of General Li Zongbing, the people of Chentangguan set up a city in the northeast and named Xintang, and also set up a city in the southwest and named Yicheng. At the same time, the original majestic main city of Chentangguan was re-expanded, and the three cities became horns, which greatly improved the safety of Chentangguan.
It was almost reborn as an ordinary Chentangguan, blooming with unimaginable vitality. With Li Jing's strong support, the economy has developed vigorously, and in just three years, the merchants who have passed through Chentangguan have been flowing from morning to night.
That Yicheng, as the name suggests, is the same name as Dongyi's ancestor Dayi. In order to further demonstrate his determination and the desire of the two ethnic groups to be like a family, Li Jing specially named this city Yi, and its significance is self-evident.
And this city, as mentioned by Li Jing in Dongyi Mountain City, is a new city specially prepared for the Dongyi people, and this city has also been moved into it by Dongyi people since two years ago, and since then the Dongyi people have officially begun to be included in the rule of Chentangguan.
Now Chentangguan can even see a Dongyi man and the people of Dashang talking intimately everywhere, and there is no more hostility or hatred.
Of course, in fact, at the very beginning, Li Jing's policy was not well implemented. Because the hatred between the two ethnic groups, especially these people of Chentangguan and Dongyi, has accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years. They generally think that the Dongyi people are the embodiment of cruelty and cunning, and letting them stay in Chentangguan must be to lure wolves into the house.
However, Li Jing also relied on the huge prestige he had accumulated in the previous battle to defend the city, and forcefully implemented his various plans that were conducive to the exchange and integration of the two races.
After getting along for a period of time, the people of Chentangguan are actually not much different from themselves, except for the slight difference in clothing, customs, and appearance characteristics, there is no difference in others.
The same simple, hard-working, kind, and hot-blooded, without knowing it, they also slowly accepted the existence of such a group of strong, fierce-looking, but actually very honest Dongyi men around them.
In fact, ordinary people don't have any big requirements, they just want to live and work in peace and contentment. As for all the unification of Kyushu, what grand plans and hegemony are too far away from them, they have never had such ambitions, and of course they will not pursue them.
Thousands of years of fighting with the Dongyi people have greatly damaged the vitality of both sides, and the Chentangguan in the Yushun period was also very prosperous today, but because of the continuous war, it slowly declined, and finally became an ordinary military town in the frontier of the Great Shang.
Today, three years later, the people of Chentangguan are slowly beginning to understand Li Jing's intentions. The three years of stability and peace speak for themselves, and they are even more supportive of this general soldier who has brought peace and beauty to them.
At this time, Li Jing had already come out of his mansion and came to the top of the city tower. Dressed in a simple cyan robe, he took out his guqin, sat down leisurely, and began to compare his daily homework.
Since returning from the Dongyi tribe three years ago, Li Jing has begun his own cultivation of his own spirit, and every day he will come to the top of the city tower to collect the fear of the people through qin music.
However, the power of fear is not as ordinary as the power of sorrow, and the arrival of Li Jing saved Chentangguan from war, and the people were able to recuperate and recuperate, while the peaceful scene, the fear in their hearts naturally became less and less. Therefore, compared to the previous time in the barracks, Li Jing was able to collect enough emotional power in one year, and Li Jing spent three years this time.
However, those ordinary people don't know what spirit spirit Li Jing needs to practice, they only know that every morning when they come here, they will hear the chief soldier playing the piano here, and after listening to it, people will become very comfortable, and the unhappiness, sadness, and fear in their hearts will be swept away.
Therefore, at this time, under the castle tower, a large number of people from all walks of life often gather. They don't talk either, and they don't communicate much with each other. Every time Li Jing's song is over, they will go back to their homes in an orderly manner, and they will go back to their own homes.
However, the mysterious look on Li Jing's body is also getting stronger and stronger, and it is constantly talked about, circulated, and remembered by people. In the battlefield, it is like a tiger and a dragon, no one can stop it, the archery is comparable to Dayi, the nine stars are beaded, usually a cyan robe, elegant and peaceful, and a good piano to talk about, moving.
Not long after entering Chentangguan, there was a phoenix coming, suspected to be a sage in the world, often accompanied by the love of the gods, boundless blessings, envy of others. In addition, Li Jing himself has always been relatively low-key, rarely travels, and devotes himself to cultivation. Even every morning on the tower of the city, they never spoke, and often the people could only look at it from afar, and they saw only its voice, but did not hear its people.
Therefore, although Li Jing's various policies to benefit the people are everywhere inside and outside Chentangguan, the men, women and children of Chentangguan can always say such a few things about Li Jing's miraculous deeds. But Chen Tangguan was really able to contact Li Jing, and there were always only a few people who communicated, and there were almost no ordinary people.
Of course, Li Jing was also very happy to see this situation, and Li Jing himself knew that he would become a god sooner or later. In this place where Li Jing spent a lot of effort, painstaking and wisdom to operate in Chentangguan, as a common person who enjoys benefits, he is naturally the most suitable believer to transform himself.
As a deity, it is impossible to get too close and familiar with one's own believers, because then it is difficult to generate true faith. Only by maintaining a similar degree, it makes people feel as if God is around, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everywhere, but it seems that it has never existed, it cannot be seen clearly, it cannot be touched, God is mysterious, looming, if it is about to leave.
Therefore, it can be said that the current sense of the people of Chentangguan towards their own general army is also the result of Li Jing's deliberate brewing. Only by maintaining this sense of mystery, leaving only all kinds of legends, the figure slowly fades out of people's sight, and constantly mythologizes itself.
With such a feeling, when Li Jing becomes a god, this group of people will naturally not feel too abrupt, and they will naturally become Li Jing's believers.
