Chapter 2640 A dead end
Everyone settled down on the northern grassland.
It’s still the same old thing, recruit people, develop the economy, and recruit more people.
The cycle continues in sequence.
Three years have passed since then.
Three years later they had five thousand more.
After all, this place is barren and cannot feed too many people.
They relied on some modern farming techniques to feed these people.
Herding alone is not enough, there are also farming, blacksmithing, etc.
This day.
The newbie man couldn't bear it.
He said: "Why don't we send someone to the capital to take a look."
"At least understand the emperor's abilities."
Wen Rensheng Xiaoxiao: "That's not bad."
"But first we have to determine how to avoid his eyeliner."
The senior man nodded and said: "Yes, he seems to be able to see us."
"Yes, the other party should have some ability to deduce secrets and see out of the body."
" He seems to be able to see us within the scope of his rule," the novice girl also said.
"In that case, let's change our breath and appearance and dress up as prairie merchants." Wen Rensheng said.
Then Wen Rensheng began to mobilize Xiao Huan, the golden finger, who was a master of illusion.
Of course, it is disguised as one's own skills, and transformed directly to four people at the same time.
Then the extra aura on them disappeared.
They transformed into some ordinary grassland nomads.
"In this case, we should be able to cover up the aura of outsiders."
"If we have such an ability, we should use it early." The novice man actually subconsciously made a comment.
The newbie girl kicked him.
This made him suddenly realize: "Sorry, teacher, you must have your own considerations."
"Yes, my consideration is to find an invincible position first."
"Relying on disguise from the beginning. If the disguise fails, it will be a dead end. So I took you out of his observation range at the beginning. This is the retreat." Wen Rensheng nodded.
The senior person has already thought of this, so he will not ask questions.
And the novice man will pay with his life for his arguments and complaints.
At the critical moment, doubting his senior will make him slow down, and then he will die.
Then after they transformed, they began to move south.
Of course before taking action, they sent out scouts.
These scouts quickly headed south.
They are loyal and silent.
There is no way for Xingchen people to be particular about it.
It was very hard on the road, they kept going south.
Going towards the Ming Dynasty, releasing the falcon regularly to send messages.
This is a skill, animal taming.
Through it, falcons can be trained to convey messages and can fly more than 1,000 miles a day.
It flies very high, flying at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, safely and quickly.
The scouts moved forward, but when they entered Ming's sphere of influence, they did not encounter any more attacks on the road.
This shows that ordinary people like them will not attract the emperor's special attention.
Then the four of them followed the scouts into the Ming Dynasty.
Nor did it attract the guards from the East and West factories again.
This method of transformation is reasonable and successful.
Everyone was very happy.
The newbie man couldn't help but feel ashamed for his previous doubts.
The novice girl admires her even more.
"Fortunately, we have a teacher here. Without the teacher, we would not be able to complete this mission."
"The other party can see us all the time and keep chasing us. We have no chance to grow and develop." "
"The difficulty of this mission has suddenly increased."
The three of them said one after another.
“But the Lord God thinks we can solve it. In its opinion, our attributes are so high that we can completely solve the opponent.” The senior man sighed,
"But our attributes are high, but we had no skills before. It is equivalent to a very strong guy, but he does not have a pistol, and the opponent, although weak, has a gun."
"The person with the pistol , there must be a higher winning rate."
"Even a 5-year-old child can kill his strong father with a pistol."
"Yes, we did it before. No skills are equivalent to no pistols, no matter how high the attributes are, it will be in vain.”
Then they moved forward.
It’s just that as more and more town levels are encountered, more and more people are checking.
Although the cultivating emperor couldn't see it, these people could.
Their scouts went relatively smoothly at first, but as they went south, they found that the inspections on the road became more and more strict.
Moreover, thousands of troops were mobilized back and forth at every turn, sweeping across.
This consumes a lot of money.
This shows how much panic they brought to the cultivating emperor three years ago.
Gradually, it became difficult for their scouts to penetrate deeper.
Because strict road inspections have begun here.
Before, it was still very loose.
Now it is harsh. Needless to say, it is because of them.
Although their attributes are relaxed by 80%, they are not willing to directly conflict with the army.
Because once there is a conflict, it will attract more enemies.
The same mistakes will happen again.
People from Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory will swarm in, just like poking a hornet's nest.
In that case, things will be troublesome.
The scouts couldn't enter, so they chose to disguise themselves and sneak in instead of fighting directly.
Just go all the way south, don’t take the big road, take the small road.
They finally arrived in the capital.
At the same time, a group of caravans who died in some bandit's stronghold were also found.
Disguise yourself as the dead and kill all the bandits at the same time.
After doing this, they entered the capital.
The capital is very prosperous.
What shocked a few people was that this capital city has no city walls!
There is no protection at all.
Beyond the city walls, there are residential areas, commercial areas, and handicraft factories.
Those who weave cloth, make briquettes, blacksmith, transport fertilizers...
There are countless various handicraft factories.
The biggest problem in ancient times, apart from food, was the problem of fuel.
So the coal industry is booming.
This is in great demand.
In any big city, middle- and lower-class households basically rely on coal, and only upper-class households can afford charcoal with less smoke.
It is difficult to supply firewood.
It is difficult to make a fire.
It was not until the 1990s that Daxia really solved the fuel problem.
This means that the capital city is very powerful.
Just like the Huns, there was no need for walls.
When the Huns were weak, they began to flee far away.
When you are at your strongest, there is no need for city walls at all.
After they entered the capital, they began to ask around.
In fact, there is no need to ask. The further south you go along the way, the more prosperous and prosperous it becomes.
The people can basically achieve a level of food and clothing.
This was an absolute prosperous time in feudal ancient times.
Having clothes to wear, not only eating, but also having food to eat, not eating people.
This is the standard of ancient prosperity.
Don’t think too much.
So many worries of modern people are caused by contrast.
The house needs to be above the first line, the car needs to cost hundreds of thousands, the education needs to be from a famous school, the status needs to be more and more advanced, the child needs to be 985...
In the end, he only lived for a few decades and died suddenly, why bother? ?
Looking back, I spent most of my time worrying, and my life was in vain.
However, even if everyone knows this truth, they still can’t help themselves when living in the world of mortals. Unless you are single, as long as you get married and have children, you have to make it okay for yourself and your family.
The same is true in this feudal era.
Many people rushed to the capital to make a fortune.
Even though many old people scold them for forgetting their roots and being dissatisfied.
“Before I left it, I couldn’t even eat.”
"This is all the kindness of the emperor!"
After asking, the novice man and woman felt a little like villains.
Do villain things.
According to the information coming along the way,
40 years after the Jiajing reign, the emperor realized the secret of heaven and succeeded in practicing Taoism.
Then everything went smoothly.
Kill the big carbons among Yan Dang and Qingliu.
Take out the money they have accumulated to buy food overseas, stabilize prices, build water conservancy projects, and build roads.
Work-for-relief, recruiting workers everywhere.
Basically every county has a big project started.
That is road construction and water conservancy construction.
These two things will never go out of style at any time.
Although the results are slow, it will not be wasted.
With good roads, the court's information and food can arrive quickly.
With good water conservancy, more food will be produced and there will be no major harm.
The food and money were all allocated by the court.
In this way, the landless will have a way to survive.
Won’t be displaced.
Food is allocated from overseas, and money is obtained from people everywhere.
The next step is to engage in coal.
Coal is the prerequisite for solving another major problem.
That is to drink hot water and take a hot bath.
It’s not that people don’t know that drinking hot food is good.
The problem is that firewood itself is expensive.
Few people are qualified to heat hot water.
Most families are great at cooking hot meals once a day.
As the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortality, Meishan mines were illuminated everywhere.
Let some enlightened big places and big officials replace those big carbon ones.
Now the emperor is like an administrator.
He only promoted honest officials. Only those who are upright and strict can be promoted.
Wages have also increased.
For several years it has been paid out on time and there are bonuses.
Let more and more officials like Hai Rui live a stable life relying on their salary alone.
No need to think about evil ways.
The yamen has been assigned more formal officials, and there is no need to recruit those white men.
Of course, there are never enough people.
Only with some restraint.
But greed is not an option.
If the upper limit exceeds five thousand taels, the emperor will find out and punish him.
Especially for officials of fourth rank or above, it is even more impossible for the emperor to personally appoint them.
People who do good things can basically get by.
"Let me test, this emperor is not equivalent to me playing the emperor game. I can see loyalty and integrity and directly appoint those who are good?" the novice man said in shock.
“Yes, it will be different if you open your eyes to manage the world.”
“No wonder life everywhere is basically satisfactory. Almost every county has a blue sky. If you don’t have Hai Rui’s character, you can’t Being able to act like a king is a good thing.”
“Haha, this is indeed good. After all, things in the yamen are complicated and changeable, and you will be cheated.”
"You're right, but he did a good job. If we recreate the Ming Dynasty, won't the people suffer again?" The novice man couldn't bear it.
This is different from last time.
Last time it was a chaotic time, but I didn’t have any psychological burden.
The people will only be better off, not worse off.
But now, it is already a prosperous era, and if they continue to rectify it, the people will only suffer.
"So the teacher said that we have to endure it until the emperor is gone and ascended. If we continue to adjust, there will be no psychological burden." The novice girl said.
"It seems like this is true. If we attack the Ming Dynasty now, too many people will die."
"The teacher still has foresight."
Then everyone started Be patient.
Of course some people still go back and continue to develop their power in the north.
The main thing is to move away from mining and farming areas to accumulate population and establish a one-stop road for economic circulation.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty.
I just experienced a storm.
"Okay, okay, I taught you the immortal magic, you are still guilty, right?"
"You actually want to rebel and seek my position as emperor!"
"Sure enough, to win the favor of rice, to fight for the hatred of rice!"
The emperor was in the harem, walking back and forth crazily alone.
If anyone listens to his words, there will be only one end.
“The rebels jumped out on their own, including King Yu and King Jing!”
“They all must die!”
"No, kill me directly. My immortal dynasty lacks an heir and will lose a lot of luck. This won't work!"
"Then put me under house arrest and give me a son. Immortal cultivators will give birth to sons. If you reduce your lifespan and luck, I won’t give birth!”
The emperor’s eyes were cold.
"There are also those demons from the past few years who just happened to bring this matter to them!"
He then gave the order to let Chen Hong in.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Chen Hong was also at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage at this time.
Of course it is far from comparable to the master in the foundation building stage.
And if the master doesn’t have the golden elixir, he will never be able to refine his qi.
"Go find some people and hunt in five days. I will go with my two sons..." The emperor did not finish his words and left a riddle for Chen Hong to guess.
Chen Hong's head was getting bigger now.
The emperor wants to kill his son?
After all, he has become an immortal, so there is no use keeping his son.
But does the emperor really want to kill him?
It’s not very similar.
The reason is simple.
If you really wanted to kill him, why did you teach your son the Taoism back then?
Wouldn’t it be over if we let the other party grow old and die like an ordinary person?
He practiced Taoism earlier than the two princes.
I also saw the bodies of the two princes.
As a result, one is about to die, and the other can live for seven or eight years.
King Jing is also an idiot.
If no one practices cultivation, then you are wasting your body, your spirit, your mind, and what are you going to earn?
As long as you take good care of your body and outlive your elder brother, the throne will naturally be yours.
Of course Chen Hong didn’t know that his idea would never succeed.
Because King Yu also has a son, and his son is still on standby for a long time.
The time spent as emperor is comparable to that of Jiajing.
Two long and one short, these two grandsons took up almost half of the time of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is that Jiajing lived six years shorter.
This means that if Jiajing dies, King Yu will succeed to the throne.
When Long Qing died, his son succeeded him.
Even if King Jing lives for a few more decades, it will still be useless.
In fact, Longqing is the one who is losing money.
Judging from the life span of the son and his father, he must have longevity genes.
But he was too depressed, and he began to release himself when he became emperor.
Without anyone to control it, this indulgence directly and completely exhausted the body.
Later there was another one who was even more fierce than him, that was Taichang. The emperor who indulged himself to death in a month also inherited the fine traditions of his ancestors.
After much thought, Chen Hong couldn't tell anyone else about this.
He decided to leave a little leeway.
Deadly but not fatal.
Only in this way can the idea of the Riddle Emperor be satisfied, right?
Otherwise, it will be a dead end.
