Chapter 44 Recruiting talents, family secrets! (Please collect, recommend, monthly pass, everything!)
Time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed by.
Lin Wenwen, the 'leg spirit', had a bulging belly, and the development of Qingyang Country was also on the right track.
Although Qin Tian was said to be "nepotistic", in many cases, as stated in the "Tao Te Ching", governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. It should be governed by doing nothing and not bothering, which is the best way to govern a country.
Therefore, the entire Qingyang Kingdom seems to be prosperous.
But Qin Tian was not satisfied with ruling by doing nothing.
He wanted to forge ahead.
After all, his Luck Golden Dragon has been bound to the Qingyang Kingdom. The stronger the Qingyang Kingdom, the stronger the Luck Golden Dragon will be, and more benefits will be fed back to him!
In Afang Palace.
Qin Tian was discussing something with his state minister, Zhou Meiniang's uncle Zhou Liang.
Big infrastructure construction!
Build roads.
After all, there is a saying in his hometown.
If you want to be rich, build roads first!
When the people are rich, the fertility rate will increase, which will also attract people from surrounding counties to relocate to Qingyang Country.
Such a virtuous cycle.
After listening to Qin Tian's words, Zhou Liang's eyes lit up.
After all, in his understanding, the princes of the Zhou Dynasty were just breeding pigs waiting to die. They only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the well-being of ordinary people.
After all, in the world of immortality, the strong are respected.
Mortals are like ants. Even if they shout slogans such as 'Princes and generals would rather have their species' and 'The sky is dead', it cannot change the fact that they are enslaved and oppressed.
Therefore, no matter which corner of the eight thousand states.
The living conditions of mortals are the same.
Just stay alive...
But Qin Tian's move changed Zhou Liang's view.
He is a middle-aged angry young man who claims to have "unappreciated talents". Naturally, he will rebel in his heart no matter what other people in power do. If other rulers oppress, maim and exploit ordinary people, then he will support Qin Tian's "people-oriented" approach!
Therefore, he replied without hesitation: "I will recruit civilians now to prepare to repair and widen the road!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Liang's figure had already appeared at the door of the main hall.
After all, although he is not a monk, he is a scholar who has entered the Tao through literature and has mastered skills such as 'shrinking the ground into an inch'.
Qin Tian's face was confused.
Didn't you see that this guy is so impatient... Qin Tian hurriedly shouted: "Come back! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Gu" is the self-proclaimed title of the monarch, expressing humility and meaning a person with little virtue and helplessness.
Today's Qin Tian is a man from Qingyang County. In his own feudal country, calling him "lonely" is not considered arrogance.
Hearing Qin Tian's call, Zhou Liang appeared in front of him again with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
Qin Tian sighed invisibly, and then said: "There is no need to recruit civilian husbands..."
Zhou Liang was stunned: "Ah?"
Qin Tian smiled and said: "We have a ready-made labor force... full of strength and well-organized. It is a very good construction team!"
Zhou Liang became more and more puzzled.
Qin Tian pointed outside the palace.
In the past six months, Qin Tian once again changed the layout of Afang Palace.
For example, the main hall he is currently in is located at the highest point of Mang Mountain. From here, he can overlook the entire plain at the foot of the mountain, with bustling towns and neat military camps in full view!
Zhou Liang looked in the direction of Qin Tian's finger and saw exactly where Tiance Army was.
"Could it be that?"
"That's right, it's just what you thought..."
Qin Tian smiled broadly: "The so-called raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a short period of time. Nowadays, the Qingyang Kingdom does not close its doors at night, no litter is picked up on the road, and there is no banditry. If the army is idle in the barracks all day long, I am afraid that it will get sick!"
"So, let them build roads!" "Anyway, I have taught them martial arts skills. Even the people with the weakest bones have the strength of the second level of bone tempering, and they can punch more than three hundred kilograms of power!"
"Isn't it easy to build roads?"
Zhou Liang looked thoughtful.
But soon he started laughing like Qin Tian.
This is a world of cultivating immortals. Even disputes between mortals depend on the number and strength of the opposing monks. When all the monks on one side are defeated, even if their army of warriors has millions of people, it will be difficult for those who are above the extraordinary realm. For a strong person, it's just a matter of a snap of the fingers and the blood is flowing!
Therefore, when Qin Tian asked Tiance's army to build roads, they would naturally not complain!
Zhou Liang nodded and accepted the order, but did not leave and waited quietly.
Qin Tian thought briefly for a moment, and then continued as expected: "Qingyang Country lacks talents today, and we are too slow to train ourselves... Therefore, if you have any classmates, relatives or friends who are unemployed at home and can take on important responsibilities, just recommend them to me!"
Zhou Liang was overjoyed when he heard this.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory, a large population, and countless ‘prefectures’, ‘counties’, and ‘feudal states’, and logically had numerous official positions.
But this is a world of cultivating immortals. Even if the rich and powerful have no talent for cultivating immortals, as long as they have money, it is not a problem to get some immortal herbs and elixirs that prolong life. Therefore, most of the official positions are controlled by these "old and immortal" silverfish.
There are countless people who have talents but nowhere to put them to use!
Therefore, Qin Tian's "eclecticism" will be an opportunity for them to "leap over the dragon's gate"!
Zhou Liang flew away.
Qin Tianze wandered around and prepared to return to the harem to practice.
Now he has reached the seventh level of foundation building perfection, and his breakthrough to the eighth level of foundation building is just around the corner!
But things went counterproductive.
He was caught by his father while he was walking.
……………………
East Palace.
Qin's father's room.
"I heard that immortal cultivators will set up soundproof arrays. You should also set up one here!"
Father Qin's face was serious.
Although Qin Tian was a little confused, he still obeyed.
Qin's father lowered his voice: "Now that you have grown up and have a litter of children, there are some things that I need to tell you..."
Qin Tian: "..."
"Our family's surname is not actually Qin. We changed it to avoid disaster..."
"Well, it's a long story..."
"Did you know that the Great Zhou Dynasty was once a vassal of the Great Shang Dynasty?"
Qin Tian was stunned.
He knew that Zhou destroyed Shang.
There are them on earth and in this world, but he has never heard that Zhou in this world is a vassal of Shang!
Could it be said?
Father Qin continued: "One hundred thousand years ago, there was a great war between good and evil. The evil sect was driven to Daozhou on the border of heaven and earth. The righteous sect set up a barrier to isolate them from returning..."
"There is a Daozhou in the northwest of Huangzhou that seals the evil sect..."
"The Great Shang Dynasty is responsible for suppressing and guarding the evil sect there, preventing them from breaking through the seal..."
"That was the period when the last King of Shang was in power. The State of Zhou destroyed the State of Yu, which was also a vassal of the Great Shang, and tried to annex Beizhou. The Great Shang was about to raise troops to attack the State of Zhou, but at this time the seal was loosened, and the King of Shang had to lead the monks there in person. Suppress evil spirits..."
"At this moment, the Zhou Kingdom took advantage of the opportunity and broke into the Shang capital, changing its name to Zhenhuang City..."
"The King of Shang returned with his army, but was unable to defeat the Zhou State, which had the support of a large number of immortal cultivators. He was eventually defeated and killed..."
Qin Tian's face was full of confusion and he said calmly: "Dad, would you say that our family is a remnant of the Shang Dynasty..."
"Well, an orphan, right?"
Father Qin was stunned, thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of beating Qin Tian to a fight. He shook his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Our family is not a Shang clan... Our ancestors are close ministers of the Shang King..."
"Therefore, it is also on the must-kill list of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Of course, that was a thousand years ago..."
