Chapter 276: Battle in Hades, Infrastructure Development(1/2)
In the dim underworld, a red sun suddenly appeared, emitting a warm orange light, with an obvious black circle around it.
The place where the red sun shines is the blessed land of Daxia.
"Is that the sun of the Yang world?" A newly deceased ghost citizen in Yinting City shouted in surprise. This feeling was all too familiar to him.
Immediately afterwards, ghost people and even ghosts and gods began to discuss it one after another.
"Something's wrong. If it were really a great day, we would have been reduced to ashes long ago."
"It is the radiance of the sun that has been filtered out of the pure Yang power by the underworld. It can only be called a Yin Sun, but it is good for us."
"My soul is solidifying, and my life span has actually increased by ten years in a short time."
"What kind of power can make the sun from the Yang world reflect into the underworld..."
In the magnificent and stretching palace, Yin officials and ghosts and gods can be seen hurriedly everywhere. They are all rushing to the center of the Yin court, Zhongyuan Palace.
When a yin-sun phenomenon suddenly occurs, the first thing the officials, ghosts and gods think about is how to deal with it in the underworld.
In fact, as Duke Wei Ling, the most powerful person in the Yin Court, and the God Lord, they are relatively calm, as if they know what causes the Yin Sun.
Due to the connection of fate, Zhou Bai built the Dingzhou Cauldron, so naturally he would not hide it from them.
No, the God Lord, along with the gods stationed in the Yin Court, were about to personally support the Yin army attacking the Yin Court of Andu, but the action was temporarily canceled due to the appearance of the red sun.
In the Zhongyuan Palace, Wei Linggong looked excited and murmured: "Only the power of the Dingzhou Cauldron can radiate to the underworld to achieve this level."
"The power of the cauldron is even greater in the underworld than in the Yang world. Why do those five hundred Yin soldiers need the help of this god?" The Lord of God stood beside Wei Linggong and nodded slightly.
After being in the underworld for a long time, some secrets cannot be hidden.
In order to explore the situation in the underworld, he not only traveled through the Dingzhou Underworld, but also drove all the way to the Daizhou Underworld.
It's not like Dingzhou, where the blessed lands are scattered and the underworld is rare.
The Yang Dynasty Prefecture has been developed by the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years. There is no Dragon Court, but there are many powerful Yin Courts.
Let's just say that the most recent king once unified half of the northern border and established a very powerful Yin court.
When the God Lord arrived in the underworld of Daizhou, the first thing he encountered was the Yin Court presided over by the king. There were four tripods sitting in the blessed land, which represented that he had occupied four major states.
Even though hundreds of years have passed, the foundation of the Blessed Land is still solid, and the Divine Lord's golden magic can't do anything to it.
Moreover, the contemporary king brought the power of the cauldron and led the Yin army out of the Blessed Land to besiege the God Lord, so He could only retreat.
As the rays of the Yin Sun continued to shine, in the main hall of the Zhongyuan Palace, all the Yin officials, ghosts and gods who were in the blessed land and had high grades gathered together at this time.
The roof of the main hall disappeared at some point, allowing the orange-red light to shine in. Wei Linggong looked serious and shouted loudly: "Everyone who belongs to the Great Xia Yin Court, please come together to invite the cauldron to come!"
"I sincerely invite the cauldron to come and sit in the Yin Court to bring great fortune!"
The loud and loud sound rose to the sky and spread to the world of the sun.
Soon, the shadow of a large bronze cauldron passed through the orange light of the overcast sun and began to solidify in the underworld.
The patterns of Dingzhou's rivers and mountains on the tripod's body shone for a moment, then disappeared immediately, and then the incised lines shuttled back and forth between the inside and outside of the tripod.
If you are familiar with the ghosts and gods of Dingzhou Underworld, you will be able to see that these lines form the topography of Dingzhou Underworld.
Finally, the bronze cauldron slowly fell in front of the Zhongyuan Palace. What appeared on the cauldron was the Styx River flowing across it, the ghost desert full of black sand, the endless wilderness, and the rolling bare mountains...
"It actually has the distribution locations of the major blessed places in Dingzhou Underworld. Now they can't hide them even if they want to."
"Not only that, but some small ghost towns and villages where there are many ghosts living there seem to have a common thread."
"The day when I, the Yin Court of Great Xia, will unify the state and the underworld is not far away!"
Facing the thick and heavy cauldron that was formed on the ground, all the Yin officials did not dare to act rashly. However, after honing their skills in the underworld for so long, their eyesight has indeed improved a lot, and they soon discovered the most direct value of the cauldron.
Duke Wei Ling looked at the landforms of the underworld manifested on Ding's body, suppressed his inner excitement, led the crowd forward, and bowed down to worship.
"Please ask the Dingzhou Yin Tripod to suppress the Dingzhou Underworld and help my Daxia Yin Court's fortune flourish!"
"bye!"
As the monarch who presides over the Yin Court, when Duke Wei Ling bends down to worship, he triggers the Yin luck gathered in the Yin Court and pours it into the Yin Cauldron of Dingzhou.
"Bow!" At the same time, all the officials of the Yin Court, ghosts, gods and people in the other blessed lands also bowed in unison.
The strong will power activates the Yin Cauldron, just like a state in the Yang world, and the great fortune accumulated in the underworld begins to flourish, converging towards the blessed land of Daxia.
Buzz~
The Dingzhou tripod in both realms of yin and yang shook at the same time, yin and yang communicated, and the fortunes converged.
All the Yin souls belonging to the Yin Court of Daxia will have their Yin lifespan greatly increased. At the same time, the ghosts, gods and Yin soldiers who carry out the will of the Yin Court will be protected by great fortune.
Outside the Yin Court of Andu, the five hundred Daxia Yin soldiers were retreating steadily, fearing that the entire army would be destroyed.
But after Ding Yunjia's death, his courage continued and his Yin Qi surged. Under the reorganized and tight military formation, the Andu ghost soldiers gradually became powerless.
Five hundred Yin soldiers of Great Xia successfully broke through the encirclement, and then took over the surrounding ghost villages and firmly defended them. Every move showed their superb military qualities.
Andu Yinting, who relied on the number of ghost soldiers to win, was disappointed and could only continue to prepare defenses in the blessed land and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Daxia.
King Andu looked embarrassed. During his lifetime, he refused to bow to Emperor Daxu, so he could only be a landlord.
But after surviving for hundreds of years, he still had some courage to stand up to the Yin Court of Great Xia.
I know my own strength. Five hundred men can't take down Andu, but if I add a thousand Yin soldiers of equal strength, I can't take it.
The God Lord's eyes flickered and the candles illuminated the darkness, seeming to see the changes taking place in the underworld in all directions.
He said in a deep voice to Duke Wei Ling: "With this Yin Cauldron here, disasters will occur within the Dingzhou Underworld, and the violence will be greatly reduced. It is the time for the Cauldron to reform!
"If the will of Hades does not want to continue to be chaotic, it will naturally favor us in Dingzhou, and its actions will inevitably lead to disadvantages."
"Quickly decide and integrate other blessed lands and ghost forces as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to provide much help to Yang Shi."
The vast underworld of Dingzhou is about to be unified.
…
With the help of eight million people in Dingzhou, the Dingzhou tripod was built, and the great fortunes of Yin and Yang broke out.
The Principality of Daxia was naturally developing at a rapid pace at this time, so a short recuperation was very necessary.
Dingdong is okay, it will take time to eliminate the traces left by Lu Ding in Dingxi, and it will also take time to digest the three counties of Dingxi.
On December 1, the fourth year of Tongzhi, Zhou Bai held a memorial ceremony at the Longwang Temple in Ningjiang. The ceremony lasted for three days and three nights, with more than 200,000 people attending, and the incense was flourishing.
At the end of the ceremony, Zhou Bai announced that the Ningjiang Dragon King's status as the righteous god would be recorded in the history of Daxia and kept in the archives of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
On December 6, Zhou Bai attended the launching ceremony of the Canglan River-Ningjiang River Water Vein Connection and Daxia Infrastructure Project.
The Daxia infrastructure project, that is, infrastructure construction, is a material engineering facility that provides public services for social production and residents' lives.
In Zhou Bai's past life memories, he has enjoyed the convenience brought by sound infrastructure since he was a child.
The reason why the former mother country, Blue Star China, was able to develop in a very short period of time has a lot to do with its title of "Infrastructure Maniac".
The Daxia infrastructure project is a long-term and continuous project, including transportation projects such as roads, bridges, and stations; water conservancy projects such as dams, ponds, and canals; and people's livelihood projects such as public schools, sales homes, and collective rental housing.
The Canglan River-Ningjiang River water vein connection project will show whether Daxia has the ability to carry out infrastructure construction.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Dragon Palace Water God and the Land God, as well as the influence of spiritual energy, chemical fertilizers, high-yielding grain varieties and other factors, Daxia basically has a bumper harvest every year, and the grain reserves have fully reached the standard.
Even Dingxi, which was recently included in the territory, has experienced a summer harvest and an autumn harvest, and the grains are ripe and the house is full of vegetables.
If you can eat well, you can think about a better life. Various infrastructure projects can greatly promote the development of the internal cycle of the economy.
In addition to the nearly 100,000 war prisoners and labor reform prisoners who became the main manpower, there were also more than 100,000 civilians who volunteered for wages.
The five years of Tongzhi in Dingzhou kicked off with uninterrupted excavation and hammering.
Under the call of the Great Xia court, many monks and warriors participated deeply, greatly improving the efficiency of infrastructure construction.
As for asking these high-end people why they are so active, they will just roll their eyes in response.
Ever since a first-level Taoist official helped complete the hardening of a county-level straight road, he successfully broke through to the second level.
Who else in the Daxia Extraordinary Realm doesn't know that participating in national projects and making contributions to Daxia is very likely to attract national fortunes.
Concrete roads, hardened roads, and strange high-rise buildings began to appear in Dingzhou.
In February of the fifth year of Tongzhi, the Daxia imperial examination and county examination were successfully held simultaneously. After that, the county examination and the state examination were also successfully completed.
With sufficient luck but insufficient grassroots officials, 600 talents were finally admitted, which was double the number of imperial examination quotas in Zhou Bai's session.
In July of the fifth year of Tongzhi, just before the second presidential election was held, the power structure in the north had undergone major changes.
Countries with other large states are not like Daxia, which closes their doors and enjoys the rapid development brought about by strong fortune.
Lu Ding of Daizhou successfully gained a foothold. After more than a year of offensive, Loufan was destroyed and the territory of Daibei Kingdom was expanded to two counties.
Because of the relatively complete military and institutional construction, the two counties can still be called uncles, and there is no longer the worry of luck backlash.
The sixth prince of Lingzhou, the king of Zhenling County, called himself the King of Ling, and formally established the kingdom, named Daling Kingdom.
This means that although he still regards Daxu as his suzerainty, he is completely independent and the ancestral temple is separated.
In terms of personality, the Ling Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are on the same level and belong to the kingdom.
Of course, it is difficult to say how many of the princes who have established themselves as princes will accept this throne.
To be continued...
