Chapter Seventy-Five: The Land of Melons and Fruits
The next day, the morning meeting.
Ji Xia was dressed in a wide silver-rimmed brocade robe, sitting lazily on the throne, and the first hundred officials stood respectfully.
There were also many officials who took turns to do things.
"The lord of the country ordered the craftsman's mansion to collect mountain stones, cut down trees, and build Lingyun Pavilion on the side of the royal court, enshrined the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the human race in Taicang. "The case of the master of the craftsman's mansion is listed, and it is a matter of fact.
Ji Xia raised his eyelids lightly and asked, "What's the difficulty?"
Lu Case's face was a little ugly: "There is not enough wood, and the newborn timber on the periphery of the Southern Forbidden Forest has been cut down by Taicheng Mansion." ”
Taicheng Borong Lou is about forty years old, and his clothes and hair are meticulous, he heard Lu Zhi's words, and snorted coldly: "The timber on the periphery of the Southern Forbidden Jungle has been cut down as early as the middle of the year, as a reserve for heating in the sun, you are only thinking about suing now, isn't it too late?"
Rong Lou's words were not polite, and Lu Xian, who listened to it, blew his beard and glared: "The establishment of Lingyun Pavilion is the order of the lord of the country, you cut down the trees, then you will even out!"
"Isn't it the Jade Order of the Lord of the Country to provide heating for the people?" Rong Lou was unceremoniously: "Besides, those woods have been sawn into adult forearm lengths by the government servants of my Taicheng Mansion, if the Lord of the Lu Mansion wants, I will give you some even." ”
Lu was speechless, where can the wood of the length of the forearm be used to build an attic?
Ji Xia looked at the two important ministers arguing with interest, and saw that they were both silent, so he smiled and said: "Since the trees on the periphery of the Southern Forbidden Forest have been cut down, then Ronglou will give some wood suitable for building a pavilion to the craftsman's mansion, heating matters, let me think of some more ways, the bones of the Taicang heroic martyrs are now placed in the palace, and it is not a way." ”
Rong Lou came out of the line to salute, and bowed down.
Lu Case threw a provocative look at Rong Lou with a complacent look, Rong Lou knew this old urchin very well, and laughed at it.
"Since there is no wood left on the outskirts of the Southern Forbidden Forest to be cut down, I ordered the people and soldiers to wander there. Ji Xia ordered again.
The Southern Forbidden Forest is a very special place in Taicang, and the reason why it has a forbidden word is because this dense forest is indeed a forbidden place.
Legend has it that there is a big demon entrenched, this big demon does not hate other creatures, but forbids the monsters to run out of the dense forest, the specific secrets, no one knows, only know that few demon beasts run out of the depths of the dense forest.
If a creature enters the depths of the dense forest, it will never return, so the successive lords of the Taicang Kingdom have strictly forbidden the people of Taicang to enter the depths of the dense forest.
The court meeting lasted for about half an hour, and many political affairs were resolved, and when the dynasty was about to disperse, Ji Xia stood up, stretched out, and between the flips of his wrists, a skull-sized spar appeared in his hand.
The appearance of this spar is very different from that of the marrow washing spar, only the color is slightly different, the marrow washing spar is pitch black, but this spar is emerald green, crystal clear.
It was the vein spar that Ji Xia had only exchanged a few days ago.
He threw it lightly, and a spirit element poked out from his wrist, holding the vein spade, and sending the spar to Ji Qianqing.
Behind Ji Qianqing, a group of Taicang generals suddenly had a look of great joy on their faces, and they couldn't take their eyes off the spar suspended in front of Ji Qianqing, and they almost drooled.
"This is the vein spar, which is the same as the marrow washing spar that created the Tailai spiritual water before, you can put it into the Tailai spiritual water pool for the soldiers to drink every day. Ji Xia ordered.
Ji Qianqing's face that has not changed for thousands of years, also rarely shows a look of joy, as a general of Taicang, what worries him the most is the cultivation strength of the soldiers.
She saluted respectfully, and then held the vein spar in front of her in her hand, she knew in her heart that the reason why Taicang's military strength could be greatly improved in the short term was because of the Tailai spiritual water given by the lord of the country.
Now that there is this vein-building spar again, I believe that the strength of the Taicang soldier will jump again.
"Where is the City Lord of Perxian?" Ji Xia looked at Perxian.
Po Xian came out of the line to salute, and Ji Xia said: "In Cangcheng, there are still three thousand soldiers who have not been able to take Tailai spiritual water, I can't favor one over the other, but there is only one vein spar, and I can't take care of the two cities, what can you do?"
Po Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Now that Zhou Qing is too busy to take care of himself, their national order, ecology, and regulations have all been destroyed by that heavenly punishment!"
"Now that they are suppressed by the pressure of mining spirit gold, it seems that they are united, when they finish this, Zhou Qing will definitely break out a huge turmoil, before the turmoil is eliminated, it is absolutely impossible to cross Cangqing Mountain and attack Cangcheng!"
"Your Majesty will lead a thousand troops back to the city, and then order the generals under his command to bring back to Taicheng all the 3,000 troops who have not taken Tailai Spiritual Water! As long as there are 1,000 troops in Cangcheng to maintain basic order, there will be no major problem. ”
Ji Xia bowed his head and praised: "Po Xian looks at the problem, but he hits the nail on the head, so it will be according to what you say." ”
There was still a residual smile in the corner of his eyes: "As for Zhou Qing, even if the turmoil is eliminated, he will no longer be able to peep at Taicang, this heavenly punishment has completely destroyed it, and now they are just surviving, and when the few small countries in the west that were bullied and dominated by him in the past react, it will be the moment when Zhou Qing will perish." ”
The hundred officials in the Taihe Palace already knew that Zhou Qing had been punished by heaven, and most of Zhou Qingcheng had been destroyed by heavenly punishment, and they couldn't help but discuss it when they heard the lord of the country and Po Xian talk about it.
They had a smile on their faces, and in just a few months, the two insurmountable enemies in the past had suffered heavy blows one after another, which made them extremely happy.
After all, Taicang and those two kingdoms have too deep enmity.
"Lord, then how should we deal with Zhou Qing in the future?" Lu Yu looked happy.
Ji Xia's fingers moved slightly, and a spirit element overflowed from his fingertips, outlining a map in the air.
The map is neat and clear, revealing the dove, crocodile horn, Zhou Qing and the surrounding landforms.
Ji Xia asked everyone: "Do you know the difference between the dove dog and Zhou Qing?"
A minister of Ji Ze came out of the crowd and replied: "Back to the lord of the country, the south of the dove dog borders the crocodile horn, and where the land is derived, there are many countries that are not weak. ”
"And to the west of Zhou Qing, there are only a few extremely weak races entrenched, although it is called a country, its strength is much weaker than the previous Taicang, these small countries are more west, it is a desert, and at the end of the desert, it is the Great Fu Country. ”
Ji Xia praised: "Shangbo is clearly organized, and the regional differences between the dove dog and Zhou Qing are clearly explained in just a few sentences. ”
His eyes overflowed: "The land of doves and dogs, if you get it, it will be annoyed by several countries around him, and doves dogs, I have other uses." ”
"As for the land of Zhou Qing, there is a natural desert as a barrier in the west, and there are not too many foreign enemies, and I heard that there is a honey fruit forest in Zhou Qing, which is rich in all kinds of sweet melons and fruits, I don't know the ministers, generals, are you interested in tasting the taste of these melons and fruits?"
Excitement appeared on the faces of all the generals.
Ji Xia took the case: "When Zhou Qing's internal friction is over, there is no need to cheap those small countries in the west, and the land of Zhou Qing will become the hometown of my Taicang melons and fruits!"
Taicang Baiguan: "Good!"
