In the depth of winter, compared with Xianyang in Guanzhong and compared with other countries in Shandong, the two counties in Longxi are extremely cold. Rain and snow are flying all over the sky. On the flat ground, there is more than two feet of snow. The sky and earth are frosty and silent.
The farmland has long been under cultivation. At this time, the common people can only serve according to the government's dispatch. The rest of the time, they are all left in their houses to prepare for human relations.
Tianshui City!
It is a huge city that has recently appeared in Longxi County in the past few months. It is close to Tianshui Lake and has a beautiful scenery. It has the existence of a lake and the severe cold climate is somewhat controlled.
Broad roads from Tianshui City lead directly to various places in Longxi, and there is also a road that leads directly to Hexi. With the opening of the two counties in Hexi, the trade routes west of the entire river are much more stable, and the city is also much more lively.
Because of this, merchants gathered, and some old families continued to join them. Although it is not obvious now, judging from the commercial taxes collected by Tianshui City in recent months, it has exceeded the nine-story city in Longxi County.
Although there is a distance from Didao City, Zhou Qing feels that it is just time.
The seat of the Longxi administration is Didao, which is the core of Longxi's military, political, and civil affairs. However, in its own goals, Tianshui City is close to the Guanzhong area and should become the gathering place for the wealth of the entire Longxi.
What I have to do now is, firstly, to set the rules, and secondly, I still have to set the rules.
There is no circle without rules. This city... is a land for itself now. It is not clear in the future, but the heaven and earth are still rotating. Therefore, Zhou Qing does not pursue so many things, but only hopes to be able to make a difference.
In the warm spring-like side hall of the mansion, sheep are cooked in cauldrons, the wine is fragrant, and there are many desks. Today, this is the place for leisure and self-cultivation. Everyone around him is here again. Zhou Qing sat upright casually, with his left and right sides.
Yan Lingji and Xue Ji serve.
Under it, Bai Qianhong, Nongyu, Yingge, Moya, Baifeng, etc. were in place, while Yunshu was busy inside and outside. Although she kept walking, her beautiful face was full of joy.
Everyone gathered together, a scene like this that I haven't seen for a long time.
The fat sheep stew that has been improved by the young master is mixed with spices from the countries in the Western Regions. When stewed together, it contains a different kind of delicious food. There are also iron pots and other items that the young master has made in his spare time for several months.
One after another delicious food comes out of it.
Now, it is gradually spreading throughout Tianshui City.
The largest wine shop in Tianshui City is so popular.
"Sir, the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce now has offices in the two counties of Hexi, as well as other places west of the Yanpai Mountain, as well as in the country of Wusun. It requires a lot of manpower. Previously, it relied on the power of Wushiluo."
"Now that Longxi is stable, it's time to rectify the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce again."
She wears a thin light purple skirt and top, with dark combs gathered at the side, jade hairpins interspersed, hanging between the crystal-like jade neck, and the rays of light appear on her delicate face. Looking at the food tripod on the table in front of her, she lightly
Smell the fragrance inside.
With a smile on his face, he talked about the current affairs of Tianshui Chamber of Commerce.
After all, the affairs of the two counties of Longxi are almost settled now, and the two counties of Hexi are also handled by Feng Quji. In the battle of Yonggu City, the Wusun Kingdom's 100,000 soldiers were suppressed.
Afterwards, the Wusun Kingdom spent money to redeem a few leading generals and nobles, and tens of thousands of people became slaves in the two counties of Hexi. Now they are rebuilding the two counties of Hexi, erasing all traces of the past.
Everything is stable, and I want to make a place prosperous quickly.
Merchants are naturally the best beings.
Therefore, a few months ago, the two counties of Hexi issued a business order through the Qin court. If merchants enter or leave the two counties of Hexi, the commercial tax will only be charged half of the original rate within three years.
If the common people go to the two counties in Hexi, they will be given land. Within five years, the taxes and corvees will be only half of those in the Qin counties in Hedong. The purpose is naturally to mobilize the people's power as soon as possible and completely integrate the two counties in Hexi into the Qin Dynasty.
within.
"Relevant people from the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce can be directly dispatched from the original directors in the heaven, earth and book pavilion."
"They are all passers-by, so there is no need to worry too much."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he nodded slightly. Because of the Qin Kingdom's departure to the east, the heaven, earth, and bookstores disappeared one after another, but Qi and Chu still survived, and a lot of money fell every day.
With this as a support, the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce can develop quickly.
Since we need to rectify the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, we just need to have all the personnel in place and follow the steps step by step.
"Qianhong, before we return to Xianyang, you should handle everything in the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce. It is also important to train successors."
Now, Zhou Qing has learned a lot about the confrontation between Qin and Zhao. Although the news is lagging behind,... Dun Ruo and Guo Kai's plan is still a list of documents from Xianyang.
Li Mu can't stand Guo Kai, and Guo Kai can't stand Li Mu either. Unfortunately... Machiavellianism is paramount. After all, Li Mu, a general who leads the army, is no match for Guo Kai. If nothing else, I'm afraid that after the beginning of spring, Wang Jian will have trouble.
At most, before the autumn and winter of this year, with Wang Jian's steady march strategy, it will not be difficult to attack Zhao and lead his army to attack Handan.
And he has to return to Xianyang, so the affairs of Tianshui City and Tianshui Chamber of Commerce must be left to special personnel to handle.
"yes."
When Bai Qianhong heard this, she calmed down. Compared with the scheming, the Chamber of Commerce's affairs were easy, and the Chamber of Commerce was a business for merchants. Over the past few years, a lot of money had been accumulated in Tianshui City.
I have nothing to spend, so your Excellency left another 500,000 gold to the two counties of Hexi more than a month ago as a secret.
"The affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are not complicated."
"Next, you should also practice diligently. Even though you have stepped halfway through the entrance, if you want to take this step quickly, with my help, it will take about five years. The same goes for you."
Qian Hong was doing the work, and Zhou Qing was very relieved.
Among all the people, Qian Hong has the best aptitude and understanding, and he understands all kinds of principles very quickly. With a fire cloud pill, he directly understood the profound entrance and stepped inside. Now his spiritual awareness has enveloped it and has been consolidated.
At this moment, I am facing the Mohist giant Lu Zhenlang again. I have no fear at all, and even winning the battle is not impossible.
As he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the other people in the side hall.
"Sir, how about... I am taking a Fire Cloud Pill?"
When Yan Lingji, who was waiting by her side, heard this, the charming woman in a red dress smiled softly. She held a bronze lamp in her hand and slowly came closer. Since the young master mentioned this matter, she couldn't miss it no matter what.
It has been more than a year and I have experienced a lot west of the river, but... there are not many opportunities to take action. The strength of the people in the Wusun Kingdom is average. Even if there are strong warriors, they can definitely deal with it with their own strength.
On the contrary, there are many masters in the Buddha Cult, but... I can't beat them. If I want to find a reason, those people also have a good temper.
Although the foundation is more stable, it is still in the process of becoming a god!
No progress made!
Listening to what the young master said, Bai Qianhong was very likely to come back to enlightenment in five years, and truly break through the entrance, and suddenly became a little anxious, wondering why he had to set foot in that realm.
The only chance now is the Fire Cloud Pill.
I took one myself and it had no effect.
But... Yan Lingji felt that she had gained something recently and wanted to give it another try.
"The Fire Cloud Pill only has three chances for you. After three times, it will be the same as the Gathering Immortal Pill."
"With your current understanding, if you can understand the "Tai Shang Jing Jing Sutra" passed down by me, I will allow you to take one pill. It will be as gentle as fire and as pure as any other, and you will understand it."
"But the foundations of heaven and earth, yin and yang, are the same. If there is no persistence, when the two come out as one body and merge seamlessly, at that time, you can break into the profound entrance on your own."
Zhou Qing said a lot about the principles of spiritual practice, but...the principles he said were ultimately different from what he understood. Otherwise, given the foundation of the Taoist Tianzong, many sages and masters would have appeared long ago.
"Last time, Nongyu followed you and others to the west of the river. I realized a lot. Everything in the world is as peaceful as usual. With my own mind, I have a wonderful understanding of the way of heaven. It is true. It is impossible to say that Nongyu can break through before you.
Entrance."
Mentioning this, Zhou Qing couldn't stop praising Nongyu. A trip to the west of the river, where he saw everything in the world, he gained a lot, and his piano skills have reached perfection.
I vaguely remember traveling to Maling City in Wei State many years ago, where I met Kuang Xiu, a saint in Zhao State's zither. The power of the sound of the zither can cause visions in the heaven and earth. Now jade can do the same, and it can be moved even more powerfully with a quiet heart.
Commonplace.
If you want to force yourself but can't get it, follow your heart and follow the path of inaction!
Sure enough, Tao follows nature!
Therefore, Zhou Qing felt that he was a little too insistent on joining the Way and returning to the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, each state in the practice is not a barrier set by heaven and earth, but the understanding of the origin of heaven and earth.
Once you see it and understand it clearly, the barriers will naturally disappear.
The Patriarch saw very quickly, so he practiced very quickly. In just ten years, his body merged with all things and reached the highest level.
"Sir, is there no other way?"
Hearing this, Yan Lingji became even more dissatisfied.
Bai Qianhong was walking in front of her, feeling unhappy in her heart. If that little girl Nong Yu was walking in front of her, Yan Lingji would really feel that her qualifications were very poor.
"Sister Yan Ling, Taoist Heavenly Sect, the laws are natural. If you force a breakthrough like this, it will be even harder."
Xue Ji, who was on the other side, pursed her lips and smiled. She wore a sapphire blue dress, silver jewelry, and exquisite eyebrows. She looked at Sister Yan Ling's sad face and found it very interesting.
Regarding the matter of cultivation, I am not in a hurry. I feel very, very good just by staying with the adults.
If it can be broken through, then naturally it is the best, and the Lord has also said that when it breaks through to the Hedao level, there may be other methods to help, so Xue Ji is not in a hurry.
"If you were in Xue Ji's state of mind, I wonder if you would have gained a lot after taking Fire Cloud Pill last time."
Zhou Qing shook his head and chuckled. It seemed that this matter... had become a problem for Yan Lingji. With her extreme desire, if she continued to get nothing, it would become a huge obstacle.
He reached out and hugged Xue Ji beside him, stroking the snow-like silk with one hand. He thought about it in his mind. If there was a way, it was not impossible, but... it was a little out of the way.
"Of course there is a way."
Zhou Qing did not try to be mysterious, feeling Yan Lingji's eager mood, he gave an affirmative response.
"really?"
Yan Lingji was overjoyed leisurely, but... she still looked slightly uneasy, which the young master had never told her before.
"Taoist Tianzong pursues the great road of heaven and earth. Therefore, the principles are grand, broad and spiritual."
"However, the yin and yang of the universe follow each other, and the positive and the strange complement each other. If there is a magnificent way, there will be a strange path. You should be familiar with Cang Can, right?"
If you want to break through quickly, then you can only use clever tricks.
Although it can be done successfully, the way is also the way of heaven and earth, but the risk is slightly higher. I put down the wine bottle in my hand and faced the eyes of everyone in the side hall. Everyone seemed to be somewhat interested.
"The one from the Taoist Yang Zhu lineage?"
Naturally, Yan Lingji is no stranger to Cang Chu. She had fought against him many years ago in Xianyang. She had a high opinion of Cang Chu. However, her newly created Xuan Gong was unstable and she almost died. Inside the Little Sage Village
, only with the help of the young master can he survive.
Yan Lingji raised her eyebrows, wondering what the young master meant.
"The path to cultivation starts with building a foundation. What is building a foundation?"
"It is to build the foundation of the principles, comb the messy energy all over the body, and get rid of the disturbing thoughts. Only in this way can we follow the cultivation method and step into refining the Qi and unblocking the meridians, introducing the energy of heaven and earth to penetrate the hundreds of meridians, gather the Dantian, accumulate strength, and temper
Refining Spiritual Awareness.”
"When the meridians are fully connected, the human body becomes the world of its own. If you can sense the heaven and earth, you can control the vitality of the world. And if you can control the vitality of the world, you can transform into a spirit. This is called the ordinary way."
"If you go one step further, it is the way of the mysterious entrance. If you want to break through the way of transcending the world, you must have your own unique truth. For hundreds of years, if the sages of hundreds of schools of thought have practiced it, they can break through it.
Inside."
Zhou Qing sat quietly on the desk and explained the way of cultivation in detail. In the past, when he was in Tianzong, his senior brother told him everything, but now he has his own insights.
There are many warriors in Zhuxia, but... there are very few who really know what cultivation is all about.
"And you...if you want to break into the profound entrance, you must have your own unique way. Qianhong's principle is a mixture of Guigu Zongheng and Taoist Jingjing, with shadows of Guigu's school."
"Nongyu has traces of Tianzong's tranquility on his body. What I understand is the yin and yang of heaven. Yan Lingji, if you want to break through the profound entrance, you have to smelt and completely control the fire charm and tranquility method."
"As for the mysterious art created by Cang Xu, I think it is quite suitable for you!"
The Xuan Gong created by Cang Chu was the Jade Cultivation Gong, which was actually similar to her own in principle, but it was much more eccentric.
The way of human beings is to plant demons in the heart of the Tao. After his last teaching, he has returned to the origin of the way of heaven. He has built the foundation with his own orthodox Taoist mystical skills, and then planted jade in his Dantian to obtain True Yang.
Secondly, before transforming into a god, disperse all the power of the whole body, activate the true yang and Dantian origins of Zhongyu to express each other, condense the power of the sun and the power of the twelfth, make the soul pure and pure, and integrate yin and yang to break into the god.
A few years ago in the Little Saint's Manor, Cang Quan's mysterious power collapsed and she was on the verge of death. As a blessing in disguise, she directly broke into the Transformation God, and then wonderfully understood the way of the sun and the way of the lunar yin. If the yin and yang are perfect, she can evolve into the yang of the sun again.
It is the highest yang, and the yin of the sun is called Shaoyang.
The yin of Taiyin can be regarded as the ultimate yin, and the yang of Taiyin can be regarded as Shaoyin. In this way, if the four images are integrated, it can be the perfect level of Xuan Guan.
One step further is to transform the Tao of the Sun and the Tao of Taiyin into Tai Chi, and then you can enter the He Tao!
Sure enough, chaos is endless and can be integrated into all things!
Although Zhou Qing deduced all these things,... the deeper you go to practice, the more difficult it will naturally be, but... with Yan Lingji's current understanding of yin and yang, she can understand Shaoyin wonderfully, and Shaoyang is much faster.
