Chapter 428: Mandate of Heaven
"Brother, the biggest difficulty now is the shortage of people."
After three rounds of dishes, wine and five flavors, he couldn't help but talk about serious things again. Qi Yan and Lin Ning said: "Even if the masters give their strength to help, there are still large areas of barren farmland vacant. It's a pity. If there are enough people, even the thousand-mile plains of Jincheng are not as rich as those in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are enough to support millions of people!"
The head of Lingsu seemed to be unable to drink and his cheeks were rosy, but now he also started talking and smiled and said, "The people of Jincheng should thank the young master, and the people of Shu should also thank the young master. Even the barbarians in the forest in the south benefited from it. The young master had great merits!"
Lin Ning smiled when he heard this, saying that he had immeasurable merits, so he naturally knew that he had immeasurable merits.
Since conquering the Qianli Shu Kingdom, his merit value of not having any big noise for a long time has soared all the way like a ten-full-tonifying pill!
Although he is still a bit far from upgrading to a high-grade master with a "ten million", if he continues at this speed, at most one year, at this time next year, he will become a serious high-grade master.
As for the peak of the master after the high-grade master...
The hundreds of millions of merit values are probably going to be after peaceful reunification.
And breaking through to the Martial Saint may have to wait until the world is unified...
However, if you can kill Dongfang Yiren's father with your own hands, the speed may be greatly increased.
As the saying goes, if a saint does not die, the thief will not stop!
In Lin Ning's opinion, this sentence definitely makes sense.
If there were no saints in the world, the state of separatist rule in the Three Kingdoms would not last for thousands of years, and a tragic war that deliberately consumed human lives would occur every two or three hundred years.
Even in the feudal society in his previous life, there was such a cycle of reincarnation. The wars that occurred in the late years of each dynasty were no less than the war in the Central Plains, and even worse.
But at least in the early and mid-terms of these two or three hundred years, the people can still live a good life for more than a hundred years.
In the Central Plains, no matter whether there is a war or not, the people at the bottom are not as good as pigs and dogs.
In addition to supporting the mountain of officials in the court, we also need to support the holy land. The harm of the holy land is still above the court.
If Lin Ning could really end a saint and a holy land with his own hands, then his merit would be ten times more than that of governing a sparsely populated Shu area.
"It's almost OK!"
While thinking about it, Lin Ning suddenly heard a cold warning sound coming from his ears.
When I came to my senses, I looked in surprise and saw Dongfang Yiren gritting her teeth with hatred.
He said inexplicably: "What's wrong?"
Dongfang Yiren snorted, Lin Ning was unwilling, and turned to look at the others, only to find that the head of Lingsu was blushing, but there was a lot of annoyance between his eyebrows and eyes.
Huang Hong'er smiled a little sinisterly, while Wu Yuan looked puzzled and displeased.
As for the others... it seems that nothing unexpected happens...
Lin Ning realized that the leader of Lingsu was talking to him before, but he was thinking. Could it be that his eyes were always looking at him?
"Ahem!"
After coughing twice, Lin Ning said to the head of Lingsu: "Sister, don't misunderstand me. I didn't respect me just now. I was just thinking about some important things and kept being in a daze. I think my sister can understand that I just had no eyes..."
The head of Lingsu thought about it and seemed to be true. Looking at Lin Ning's expression, he suppressed the palpitations in his heart and smiled and said, "It's me who misunderstood the young master."
Lin Ning waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay." Then he said to Qi Yan, "I was thinking about what you said before, and there was a shortage of people. Just a while ago, I discussed with Jiang Taixu of Jixia Academy and Xiang Ping, the little overlord of the Imperial City Department, to exchange food for people. I guess there is no big problem."
Qi Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, but then frowned and said, "Brother, Guangyuan County, the entrance to Shu, is still in the hands of Qin..."
Lin Ning laughed and said, "This matter is not an obstacle. Emperor Qin sent someone to buy food from me. I agreed. One of the conditions was to let Guangyuan County go. Now Guangyuan County itself has become a big burden for Qin. I think they are a little overwhelmed. If I were willing to exchange grain for land, Emperor Qin might be able to agree. It was just that I could not explain it to the inside, so I could only let go."
Qinglong reminded: "Are you afraid of them doing anything wrong? What Qin Emperor said may not be accurate sometimes."
Lin Ning laughed and said, "If they do evil, they will offend me, Qingyun, and Qi and Chu will not let it go. If that is true, it may not be a bad thing."
Qinglong slapped his old face and said, "Are you afraid you want them to do something bad, are you?"
Lin Ning laughed and said, "I am so sinister? Don't worry, Dongfang Qingye is not a fool and will not do such a low-level thing. Qinglong, how about it? How have you felt this year?"
Qinglong drank the wine in the glass and sighed, "The methods you told me at the beginning were all right. But I didn't do it, you did it. But even so, I still don't accept it. If you don't have those strange and profound means, you may not be able to achieve this foundation. Can you tell me what those means are? I have also heard of ways to confuse people's minds, but it has never been heard of to be as good as you!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.
Everyone's expressions seemed unnatural. After all, Lin Ning's previous method of destroying the four major families in Jincheng was really cold.
The most terrifying thing is that those who are manipulated and hearted have never thought they were deceived by manipulation...
Did this happen to them?
Lin Ning laughed and scolded, "If I really had such a method like a god and ghost, I would sneak into the Three Kingdoms Palace and manipulate the Three Emperors to encircle the three holy lands? Or would I just want to kill the Three Emperors and destroy the Three Kingdoms, and wouldn't the saint directly destroy the holy path, and would use such compromise? Although I did use some small means, these methods only serve as auxiliary functions. The most important reason is probably because I have Tianjun, and the destiny is with me! Otherwise, I would not have learned medical skills and mastered it once. The same is true for martial arts. I don't know how this martial arts has been improved so quickly, Qinglong, do you believe me?"
After hearing this, Qinglong looked at Lin Ning for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "I can only explain this way, destiny, hehe, what a destiny!"
Seeing his face full of lemony expression, Lin Ning smiled and said, "What am I? In ancient times, there was a emperor who fought against the imperial army at that time, fighting with 10,000 troops and 430,000. Before the attack, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the imperial army camp, with countless casualties. Therefore, the emperor reached the foundation of the dynasty. After a thousand years, another emperor rebelled and was besieged by the imperial army. When he saw that he was about to lose, a strong wind suddenly blew the flag of the commander-in-chief of the imperial army. The emperor used the wind to counterattack with fire, turned defeat into victory, and finally won the world. Compared to such a person who helped the heaven and earth to achieve great achievements, what is my ability to convince people?"
It is hard to understand that the strong wind blows the handsome flag. Can you barely understand that the meteorites from the sky help the emperor kill the enemy?
Tell the Jaipa egg?
Seeing that no one believed it, Lin Ning was too lazy to explain, and said, "This person has one life, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulations of good deeds and five readings. Destiny and fortune rank first. In layman's terms, of course, people have to rely on their own struggles in this life, but they also have to consider the course of history, changes in the general trend, and even more about destiny. I know that Qinglong is not convinced, and thinks that no matter talent, martial arts, demeanor or strategy, they are not inferior to me. Twenty years ago, you were the Qinglong Dharma King, the world-famous demon sect. At that time, I... Well, my father has not yet married, just a small bandit. But you have been fighting for twenty years, why are you not as good as me, a junior in the martial arts world-class? But this is fate, you have to accept your fate. If you force yourself to go against the sky, you are afraid that you will have a good end."
Qinglong smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, since you have agreed to work hard for ten years, you will not regret it."
Lin Ning laughed and said, "It's good that this is the case. There is something that Uncle Qinglong wants to be the one..."
When Qinglong heard the word "Uncle", his heart trembled after being tempered for a long time. He expected that nothing would be good. As expected, Lin Ning said sincerely: "Uncle, it's about manure..."
