That night, Zhao Qing returned to the surface from an underground experimental site covered with solid ice. The surrounding trees were whistling and the scenery was extremely beautiful. Zhao Qing was surrounded by a hazy cold mist. He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky and felt relieved.
Ning, vaguely touched.
This place is the royal garden of the palace, but because there are a series of underground secret passages nearby that connect Yang Gong's treasury and other places in the city, in her plan, while retaining the courtyard outline and part of the landscape,
It was gradually converted into a large research institute.
The layout of the former Sui Imperial Palace is exquisite, unique and extremely gorgeous, occupying a large area in the north of the city. However, Zhao Qing himself does not need such a luxurious place at all, nor does he need others to attend to his daily life. He only needs it for some matters such as transporting government documents and experimental results.
Someone else will do it to save time.
Therefore, although the Daxing Palace, which represents the supreme majesty of imperial power, does not have enough manpower to be allocated to rebuild it, after the concubines and maids in the original palace were relocated, a considerable part of the gorgeous palace here has been
It became a warehouse for storage.
When Zhao Qing walked out of the secret passage connecting the Nishijorion Research Institute, the imperial garden, which had only been blown by the breeze in the autumn night, suddenly blew a biting cold wind, and a layer of crystal white frost instantly condensed on the flowers, plants and trees.
, lighting up the entire garden under the starlight and moonlight.
Although the ice is colder than the snow, the sound of the wind it brings when passing by the eaves of the palace and the trees in the garden seems to have a unique mood, as if playing a beautiful piano sound, sometimes clear and exciting, sometimes depressed and resentful, no matter
No matter how it changes, it can always wash away worries and cleanse the mind, making people forget about the worldly world, and is full of natural charm and the principles of heaven and earth.
At the same time, two pieces of dazzling jade suddenly appeared in her hand, and they flew lightly into the air, circling and dancing, as if echoing the sound of the wind.
However, the gem inlaid on the top of the sacred crystal jade staff.
Under the illumination of the bright five-color stone, the frost condensed in the surrounding environment naturally melts and turns into a hazy mist, reflecting in the mid-air like colorful clouds and danxia, ​​exuding a strange fragrance;
On the surface of the other spiritual wand gem, it seemed to flow out streams full of spiritual energy, spontaneously flowing to the plants and trees in the garden that showed signs of decline in autumn, making these plants bloom with brilliant vitality, and the branches and leaves
The sky turned green and bright flowers bloomed again.
It seemed that he was also attracted by the supernatural power of these two gems. There was no clouds and mist in the sky that blocked the stars and the moon, but it still responded, and the pure essence of heaven and earth fell one after another, turning into a continuous drizzle.
Some of them condensed into fluffy snowflakes and feathers when they came into contact with the cold wind below.
"The clouds are embroidered, the red clouds are shining brightly. The clouds are reflected in the clouds, and the hibiscus leaves are scattered."
"The wind of benevolence falls, and the wind of benevolence falls, and it rises with the times."
"Don't express pride on the outside, nourish Qiong Yao on the inside. Just like the lurking Hong, blowing the feathers in the snowy sky."
As the stars and moon blossomed, Zhao Qing's mind wandered, and he suddenly saw the prosperity and decline in the surrounding environment, and noticed the death in their vitality, and imprinted the principle of the cycle of life and death into the depths of his body.
, thus giving birth to the god of strength who blends the yin and yang of life and death.
In an instant, time and environment lost their normal meaning. In the induction of her mind, among the five internal organs in her body, the heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, and the spleen belongs to earth.
The mutual generation and mutual restraint have already formed a perfect cycle;
At this moment, it seems that there are five spiritual thoughts corresponding to the five elements rising from the five internal organs, each breaking a gap in the circulation of the five elements' Qi, intercepting a small section of the Gang Qi field in the body, just like the tip of a newly born bud.
It looks like a head poking out of the soil, looking cautious.
Immediately afterwards, they swallowed the true energy in the body, and the spiritual energy and essence of the outside world rapidly developed and expanded, turning the body and the outside into large and small nested cycles, both isolated and closely related, and under Zhao Qing's
In a fit of indulgence, they chattered and discussed their opinions on her, the owner of her body.
The breaking of the five elements cycle in the past did not cause any negative factors. On the contrary, it reshaped and formed a larger cycle of heaven and earth, allowing Zhao Qing's own Tao and the external Tao to intersect with each other in the God of the Five Internal Organs, creating a relationship between them.
broader impact.
If the principles of Taoism and pure and flawless spiritual thoughts that she has cultivated are an insignificant star in the endless universe outside, then these five young thoughts of body and mind that were just born are equivalent to surrounding stars.
five planets or satellites;
It can not only receive the light and heat radiated by the central stars, and expand the scope of the gravitational influence of the entire galaxy, but also can play a role in blocking meteorites for the earth like the moon at critical moments, or throw it and turn it into a giant meteorite.
Facing the enemy is equivalent to wearing a protective suit that is both offensive and defensive.
It took several months, and with the help of the infinite spiritual power between heaven and earth and the accelerated gestation of the true water of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Qing finally took a step up from the peak stage of Gang Jin, officially breaking through to the realm of Shen Jin, and from breaking through to the time of heaven and man.
Judging from the visions caused by sympathy, the improvement in cultivation is by no means ordinary.
After checking the situation of her own Gang Qi, she can confirm that it has increased by 50% in both quality and quantity, and will gradually give birth to small bodies in the five bodies and spirits that add up to this 50%.
The Gang Qi field is theoretically equivalent to doubling or more.
After officially entering the realm of divine energy, the original Gang Qi will be greatly improved in defeating the enemy's mental thoughts due to the suppression effect of body and mind resonance. Moreover, due to the change of thoughts, it will become more flexible several times. By using the method of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, one blow can
Defeat the condensed aura of the weak.
However, since Zhao Qing has already reached the state of differentiation of sword intention, the overwhelming advantage of this divine power is not an improvement for her, but the proportional increase in the total amount of spirit after adding body and spirit will make her faster.
The speed of reaction, the power of making moves, and the effectiveness of multiple sub-consciousnesses in processing information are indeed real bonuses and should not be underestimated.
In addition, according to Zhao Qing's induction detection, the strength of her five internal organs, body and spirit corresponding to the original body seems to be much higher than the proportion recorded in ordinary classics. Perhaps it has something to do with the previous transformation of the internal organs and nerves?
…
Flying into the air on the magic weapon, he briefly experimented with the changes in power of his moves after breaking through, and thought about whether he could create an upgraded version of "Lingbo Weibu" that could use aerial three-dimensionality. Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, and at the same time
Considering the situation of this Northern Expedition to the Turks.
Even if he does not personally take action, it will have the effect of training the military capabilities of his men and giving many people promotions, but the powerful strength of the Turks across the grasslands is not comparable to the separatist forces they encountered when they unified the Central Plains.
After all, the speed of his advancement is too fast. Except for Wagangzhai, which has long revolted and has good strength, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, Li Zitong, etc. have not developed much. Li Clan, Xue Ju, Li Gui and other forces have not even developed yet.
When we raised our troops, we actually never encountered a truly powerful enemy.
The reason why Li Mi was defeated and destroyed by the new army that had just been equipped with chariots was because he was not strong enough. But a large part of the reason was that this was the first time that a new type of weapon had appeared in the world, and no one knew how to deal with it. Naturally, in a short period of time,
Appear invincible.
But after a few months, the opponent they faced was a Turk with a strong military and nomadic advantages over farming. Moreover, the expedition to the grassland required taking into account complex terrain changes. If you want to win as easily as in the past, I'm afraid it won't be that simple.
On the prairie, the decline of one nation represents the rise of another.
Since Tumen, the Great Khan of the Turks, Shi Dianmi has risen up. He has led ten chiefs and led hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat Rouran. He has established a nomadic khanate with a wider territory and more powerful reputation than the ancient Xiongnu. He set up his tent in Dujin Mountain.
, all the tribes on the grassland were intimidated, and although they later split into two khanates, the East and West, they were still invincible on the grassland.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was great chaos in China, and because of Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo, the people in the north were in dire straits. Due to various reasons, such as being unable to bear heavy taxes, or evading military service, or avoiding traitors, many soldiers and civilians crossed the Great Wall and fled into the Eastern Turks.
Even though Shibi Khan's strength had greatly increased, it also enabled him to clearly grasp the situation in the Central Plains.
Nowadays, the Eastern Turks have reached the stage of "controlling millions of strings, and the army and the Di are as strong as ever before". Khitan, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, and Gaochang are all subordinate to it. It can be said that "separate lawsuits, president of China, and children's treasures,
Following the road, the messengers' carriages go back and forth in a rut. Since ancient times, the barbarians have been arrogant and arrogant, and they have never been as prosperous as this!"
In terms of pure military strength, even if all the previous separatist forces in the late Sui Dynasty were put together, they may not be the opponent of a single Eastern Turk, let alone another Western Turk who is only slightly inferior.
On the other hand, Anguo has just completed its nominal unification. It is basically unable to use the local army and can only mobilize a small amount of its original military strength. Even Liang Shidu, Dingyang Ke, the Dadu Bijia Khan supported by the Eastern Turks,
Khan Liu Wu has not yet captured the capital of Zhou, so it does not seem like the right time to launch the Northern Expedition now.
In fact, after inheriting the major granaries of the Sui Dynasty and improving agricultural production, the people of China now do not encounter any major problems in terms of food, and their cloth is far better than what they had in the past.
More, basic daily necessities are in sufficient supply, so the world can be stable.
However, when it comes to another currency issue that is closely related to people's livelihood and economy, the solution is much more complicated.
As we all know, although the imperial court nationalized the right to mint coins, the quality of coins varied due to factors such as corruption, and the quantity was never enough to circulate in the market. Private minting was repeatedly banned due to the profitability.
In the last years of the dynasty, the political situation was turbulent, and the government itself was also coining money randomly to plunder wealth. For example, Yang Guang reduced the copper weight of his five-baht coins by more than half, accelerating the chaos of the currency system. Private coinage of money among the people was far more prevalent than in normal times.
However, the quality of privately owned copper coins was mostly of poor quality, and cutting corners and materials were used to reduce costs by reducing the weight and fineness of the copper. As a result, bad coins drove out good coins, the prices of a large number of goods soared, and commodity transactions stagnated, causing the national economy to gradually deteriorate.
If it crashes, it will be difficult to recover as before in a short period of time.
As recorded in "Book of Sui Dynasty: Food and Goods Chronicles": "After his great achievements, Wang Gang became unruly and cunning, so he minted more money privately and the money became less and less evil. At first, each thousand still weighed two kilograms, and then gradually became lighter than one kilogram."
A catty, or a piece of iron, cut the skin and paste it into paper to make money, and use it for miscellaneous purposes. The goods are cheap and the goods are expensive, so that they will perish."
Therefore, although there is sufficient supply in terms of food and other aspects, without spending a lot of time to recycle the five-baht coins and private furnace coins of the old dynasty and recast them into high-quality legal tender of the new dynasty, the people's livelihood economy will not be able to recover quickly, and the entire
The vitality of the country cannot be completely awakened.
If the currency of the previous dynasty is directly abolished, serious problems will arise in the already depressed and chaotic economic order, and the court will also add many matters, causing top-down chaos. Therefore, there needs to be a smooth transition process in the hands of ordinary people.
The old money can continue to be used.
All in all, in order to inject a shot in the arm into the current economic decline, Zhao Qing paid extra generously for the military expedition to the Turks, directly using the gold stored in Yang Gong's treasury and the tomb of the Great Khan, which is worth more than copper coins.
More, a new army will be formed through a voluntary recruitment system.
Taking the million taels of gold buried with the Great Khan of the Turks as military expenses and using it to attack the Turks, I have to say that it is a bit different.
To be continued...
