The river flows through Yunmeng, rivers criss-cross its interior, and the great swamp stretches endlessly. Looking across it, hundreds of miles cannot cover its size. It is also the southern county of Qin, the central county of Guizhou, and the ancestral land of Dongting of Chu.
Even ships cannot move flexibly. Therefore, since the Qin State captured Bashu and captured Qianzhong County, it has not made any progress for decades, and the boundaries of the territory have become even more blurred.
There is no strong means for business travel between various countries, except for those who set up patrols at their respective land ports, above Yunmeng Daze.
However, with the establishment of Qin's navy in recent years, large ships have been built and sailed on the river, expanding Qin's control over Yunmeng Daze.
To the south of Nanjun, where the river flows, a huge port stands. Two years ago, it was surrounded by heavy troops from the Qin State. The original port was moved to other areas and had a different purpose.
Although there are various rumors, few people know the details.
"Wuzhenhou, this is the place where the mirage was built. There are five thousand-man troops stationed in a twenty-mile radius. Adding in the civilian forces recruited from the surrounding counties, there should be tens of thousands of people here."
Works Supervisor General Zhao Bu has been supervising the construction of mirages here since this year. Although he is supervising the construction, he... can only maintain order here. Important matters still fall on the shoulders of the public losers and the Yin and Yang family.
The matter of the mirage was of great importance, and the Zhao Department did not dare to interfere easily. From the time they arrived here, a large amount of wood, craftsmen, and paint... were transported here every day, which consumed a lot of money.
Hearing that this kind of consumption would continue for another ten years, Zhao Bu was surprised. It was indeed a project that the king was particularly interested in. For several months, not even a single ship frame had been built.
One look at its size shows that it is absolutely huge.
He bowed his hands and saluted Marquis Wu Zhen, who was here in person. Compared with other dignitaries here, this great man next to him really has a strong voice and command authority over this place, and the Yin and Yang family did not have any objections.
"It's really busy here."
"How to recruit those people?"
After leaving the Chu Kingdom, a few days later, we boarded a merchant ship and reached this point. Under the token, we stepped here safely, and our spiritual awareness spread, covering an area of dozens of miles in the depths of our minds.
Far away on the river, there were a large number of craftsmen and civilians working hard, building strange things. Zhou Qing couldn't understand them, but... he knew that it would take ten years.
That's the deadline.
In addition to the 5,000 men guarded by Zhao Bu, tens of thousands of civilians were active in the surrounding area. Although it was still spring, the scene was already in full swing, and they were all working men of all ages.
If according to the current corvee policy of the Qin State, these people would leave after completing their work for a period of time, that would not be appropriate and would easily reveal considerable secrets. He glanced at the Zhao department next to him.
Without stopping, he walked along the repaired flat road towards the place where the main body of the mirage was built.
"This..., Marquis Wu Zhen, most of the people being recruited now come to Nanjun. If they are recruited from Qianzhong County, it will have a great impact on Qianzhong County. Therefore, the specific strategy of recruiting has not yet been finalized."
"The Moon God Protector of the Yin Yang Family once said that if the mirage is really built within ten years, at least more than 100,000 people will be stationed here!"
Zhao Bu's expression paused. This issue has been something he has been thinking about recently, and he is also negotiating with the two county governors of Nan County and Qianzhong County. Recruiting more than 100,000 civilians is not a small matter for any county.
Except for the many counties within Guanzhong, the remaining counties in Qin State are considered large if their population exceeds 300,000. Only with a population of more than 300,000 can it be possible to mobilize more than 100,000 civilians.
It's just a possibility.
However, the political achievements of the Qin governors were divided into two categories: acres and farming. Without people, the output of the acres could not be guaranteed, and farming and warfare were weak. In the assessment of Xianyang, they were undoubtedly classified as inferior.
If Nanjun had not been developed for decades, it would be impossible to mobilize tens of thousands of people. If the conquest continued, the governor of Nanjun would not be happy. It would be even more difficult from Qianzhong County.
"Qianhong, what do you think?"
Zhou Qing smiled slightly. There were no more undulating mountains here, but a flat river. Roller skates, wheelbarrows, thick hemp ropes... all the things needed to build a mirage were conveyed to the distance.
Groups of soldiers were patrolling back and forth, rectifying the slack civilians. Looking along the road below, a group of people were rushing here quickly.
"Sir, the weight of the mirage is second only to the Lishan Mausoleum. If we want to safely complete the construction of the mirage within ten years, we must have more than 100,000 civilians here."
"What if the people were recruited from the counties south of the Wei River and moved here, and the household registers were also moved here. This place is close to the river and can be used as a fortress. Sure enough, it built a market town and a city because of the construction of mirages. The mirages were completed and left behind.
I can also seize land for Nanjun."
"With the strength of many counties south of the Wei River, it is not difficult to mobilize more than 100,000 people."
Those who have no permanent property and no perseverance can gather those who have achieved great results here, so that they can safely build mirages, prosper this place, and follow the path of the Qin Kingdom.
This place will also become an important place, with constant business and travel exchanges, and a considerable source of wealth.
"Zhao Bu, what do you think?"
Zhou Qing nodded slightly. He was still satisfied with Qian Hong's plan. Although it was much more difficult to relocate the people, but...as long as sufficient rewards were given, everything would not be a problem.
"Sir, what this girl said is very good, even Zhao Bu can't match it."
Wearing heavy black armor, he heard what the beautiful woman beside Wuzhenhou said and did not dare to look directly at her. In fact, the county governor also said what she said, but it was much simpler, and it was even more necessary to integrate many counties.
Xianyang’s decision.
It's not Zhao who can make the decision, but... Marquis Wu Zhen can also make the decision. He is in charge of the important affairs of the four counties. Although Hanzhong County is not among them, the Hanzhong County Sheriff should know what's going on.
"If you want to recruit more than 100,000 civilians here, you should have a perfect plan."
"Qianhong, in my opinion, with this place as the center, there should be various functions that a city should have. After returning to Jiangling from this trip, you should draw up the drawings. After reviewing them, Zhao Bu, you will send someone to supervise the construction.
"
This is a good place to build a city. It has mountains and rivers, fertile land, is close to Yunmeng Daze, and has prosperous business and travel. If it cannot develop, it is absolutely impossible.
Hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in one place for a long time, and it would be a pity to leave again.
"Yes, sir."
Bai Qianhong bowed and naturally responded.
"Here!"
Zhao Bu bowed his hand and bowed.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"..."
At the same time, on the gravel road below me, which was no more than ten feet wide, people approached from far away and bowed to each other, including Gongshujia Gongshuqiu and others, Yinyang family Yueshen, eldest young master Siming and others.
As for the civilian forces on the side, they were driven far away.
"No need to be polite."
"Gongshuqiu has been building a mirage for a while. Is there any difficulty?"
His eyes passed over the people in front of him one after another. Zhou Qing waved his hand and said that when it came to the construction of the mirage, he naturally had to ask someone special. Although the Yin Yang family also had means, they needed to cooperate after the mirage was built.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"To build a mirage, money, materials, and people are all needed. What is lacking now is that people are not enough. All kinds of materials are being transported from many counties and counties in the Qin State."
"If it is in place, the construction of the mirage will be much faster."
Instinctively moving the mechanical arm with one hand, he stepped forward with the same mechanical foot, saluted again, and then pointed to the distance with one hand, where the mirage was built in the river.
The entire mirage is huge, about 900 feet long, 600 feet wide, and 300 feet high. It took two years to build just the mirage model, let alone the real mirage.
Ruoyan encountered few difficulties.
"There is no need to worry. Next, I will be in charge of the four counties, which are not far from here. I will solve this matter. What you have to do is to use your existing power."
"Although ten years is a long time, it is also a blink of an eye."
"Moon God, there are quite a few disciples of the Yin Yang family here. Are you also proficient in shipbuilding?"
Problems are solved one by one. If it were the Qin State after the One World, it would probably not take ten years to build mirages. But it is different now. Many places in the Qin State need a large number of people, and a large amount of power needs to be poured out to supply other places.
As for mirages, they are always further back.
He nodded to Gong Shuqiu, and his eyes fell on the Moon God, who was wearing a light purple gauze skirt, holding Yin and Yang in his hands, with wisps of purple mysterious light looming, with jade hair tied up in jade hairpins, and eye veils floating, followed by many disciples of the Yin and Yang family.
Each one's cultivation level is quite strong.
"The Nine Palaces Gods each have their own mysterious inheritance. The Yin and Yang family can also help with some transformation and supervision of materials belonging to the Five Elements. For example, Shao Siming's Nine Palaces Ten Thousand Transformation Techniques can bring spring to dead wood, which is enough to keep precious wood in a strong state for a long time.
.”
Jingyu ethereal, another Yin-Yang Taoist ceremony, the news from the Twelve Peaks of Wushan has long been transmitted. Tianzong Xuanqingzi stopped at the Yin-Yang family, looked at the inheritance, and fought against His Excellency Donghuang. His strength was so unfathomable.
The person in charge of the important affairs of Mirage did not dare to say so easily.
"It's...a bit interesting."
"The place where the mirage was created is here. Have outsiders spied on it recently?"
There is some truth in what Moon God said. The disciples of the Yin Yang family are proficient in the mutual transformation of the five elements, so they still step forward. Everyone in front of the road avoids it and slowly follows behind.
"There are many business travelers from the Chu Kingdom who want to get closer, and there are also some rangers who are not well hidden, but they have all been dealt with."
The moon god speaks again.
"I am also very curious about mirages."
"Next, the students from the Navy Academy of the National Protectorate Academy will also come here every year to have a look. You don't have any objections when the public loses their grudges, right?"
The mirage traveled eastward, searching for fairy mountains on the sea, exploring the secret of immortality, and solving the troubles of Canglong Qisu. Zhou Qing was curious about all these things. Immortality was just that, but the secret of Canglong Qisu was indeed not small.
Seven countries, seven stars, each falling with great power, Canglong Qisu is about to gather together. If the power of Canglong Qisu is to be released, Zhou Qing is looking forward to such a scene.
In addition to the expectations after the completion of the mirage, there are also the benefits of the subsequent construction of the mirage.
Needless to say, the Gongshu family's mechanism skills, and the Yin Yang family's five element attribute transformation, needless to say, if the students of the National Protectorate Academy can learn one or two, it is enough to use them. It is not possible to fight in the Huaihe River and Jiangshui areas without a strong naval army.
"How dare you..."
Gongshu Qiu smiled. Regarding this issue, I remember that Marquis Wu Zhen told him that he wanted students from the Huguo Academy to learn the essence of shipbuilding. I didn't dare to say anything about this issue even if I had an opinion.
The entire Qin State will be within the Shaofu. In addition to the public losers in their own country who can build such mirages, the original line of Mohists also has this ability, but... this line of Mohists who entered Qin is not as good as the one from Chu State after all.
The weak.
"If the National Protectorate Academy gains something, I will not hesitate to leave your name in the merit book."
Zhou Qing smiled brightly, "There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own way. What the public loser is good at is naturally the same family. If you ask for it out of thin air, the other party will naturally be unhappy."
There are many solutions to this.
"Thank you very much, Marquis Wu Zhen."
Gongshu Qiu was overjoyed and took over the task of supervising the construction of the mirage. This was all he needed.
"Xiaoyi, come to me."
Coming to the mirage construction supervision office was to observe the specific progress and solve the specific important tasks of the mirage. Now that everything was understood, Zhou Qing felt much more relaxed. His eyes turned again and fell on the girl in purple behind him.
He nodded and called with one hand.
"senior."
Light and handsome, full of elegance, covered by white cloud gauze, a purple crystal chain combs her hair, the purple rhyme falls, and her eyebrows are slightly soft, highlighting a hint of cuteness.
Wearing purple silk mysterious pattern stockings, stepping wisteria high boots, a mysterious belt around the waist, and carrying the totem of all transformations on his back, he stepped forward, his eyes were full of energy, performing yin and yang rituals, and spiritual sound transmission. After several years, I didn't expect to meet my senior here.
.
"Hahaha, your cultivation is as good as that of a little spirit. You are still a little short of becoming a god. I will stay here for a few days, so you can stay with me to practice."
"Xiaomeng, you two are about the same age, so we should talk more about Dharma and communicate with each other."
After not seeing each other for several years, the beautiful little girl in the past has become more graceful and outstanding. Her whole body has gained a touch of mystery and majesty, and a graceful atmosphere. Shao Si Ming’s Xuan Gong practice, Jiugongwanhua has also reached a critical point.
point.
After breaking the restriction of Shao Si Ming's bloodline that originally blessed her body, her origins remained the same and she looked like a normal girl. With a little finger, a golden light burst into her eyebrows. She changed the subject and looked at Xiaomeng who was walking with her.
"Thank you, senior."
The purple-clothed girl's shining bright eyes quietly narrowed. The senior was still the same senior. He was very kind to himself and his brother. Feeling the extra message in his mind, a trace of joy passed over his face and he gave another salute.
"You are a disciple of the fire lineage who followed His Excellency Dongjun in Xianyang. Now you have inherited the position of Chief Commander. It is very good. Dongjun's regard for you is not in vain."
"I have also taken a look at the cultivation methods of your Da Si Ming lineage. For Dong Jun's sake, you can ask me three times while I stay here."
Zhou Qing nodded. It was really easy for him to guide disciples at the innate level. Xiaoyi deserved to be taught by him. Then, he felt another look of admiration falling on him.
When he came to meet her, he was met by... a relatively unfamiliar person. When he was in Xianyang, he had met her by the side of Concubine Dongjun Yan. She was very capable of doing things. Later, when she was in the Confucian Little Sage Village, she was also shrouded in spiritual consciousness.
It is the same as that of Da Si Ming in the long river of time, so enchanting and beautiful, so charming and colorful, I feel it and smile slightly.
