Ruoshan himself has the cultivation level of the fifth realm, but he is a city lord and cannot be an engineer at the same time. There is no city lord in Ba Yuan who also serves as an engineer. So the only remaining monk who is above the fourth realm is Ruoshui, but
With Ruoshui's temper, it was of course impossible for him to serve as an engineer in Shanshui City, so he could only ask the monarch to send someone.
But a monk with at least four realms of cultivation can live comfortably anywhere. Why should he go to such a remote wilderness, spend all day with a group of wild people in the mountains, and work as an engineer who has not even built a city wall?
Therefore, there was no problem with the feudal landscape city, but the appointment and dispatch of engineers made it difficult for the monarch.
Since Master Xiling is so capable and managed to solve the overall situation despite unexpected setbacks, the monarch also asked Xiling to find a solution for this matter. Xiling visited almost all the masters and hermits near the capital, and nothing exceeded his expectations.
, no one was willing to take on this thankless job, but he finally persuaded Xin Shu.
Xin Shu reluctantly agreed to Xiling to be the engineer of Shanshui City, but there was a condition: when there was a suitable candidate in the wilderness to succeed him, he would be dismissed and leave. Of course, Xiling nodded hurriedly and thanked him profusely.
Xin Shu had traveled to the wilderness with Xiling as an envoy. He knew the situation of each tribe and what happened there, so he was of course the best candidate. At the same time, Xin Shu also had another identity. He was the descendant of Chiwangqiu.
There is huge support behind him, but very few people in Xiangshi Kingdom know about it. This identity may also bring more help to Shanshui City - this is what Xiling thinks.
Xin Shu asked Xiling not to reveal his identity to others. Of course, Xiling was not meddlesome and consciously kept the secret for Xin Shu without telling anyone.
For a city wall, what does an engineer do? In many cases, it is a position that is revered but not occupied. The main responsibility is to be in charge of fortifications. The engineer is at least a monk in the fourth realm and possesses magical powers.
What a capable person cannot do. Some tasks that are difficult or impossible to complete with ordinary manpower and material resources require the work of an engineer—such as finding suitable ores, refining refined iron, and making weapons required by the military division.
There is another situation that often needs to be solved by an engineer. For example, when building a city wall, a certain boulder cannot be placed in the right position. Then it depends on the method of the engineer. It can be seen from this that the engineer
Although they have a high status and are respected, many monks are unwilling to take the initiative to take on this task. They often need to be appointed by the monarch or city lord, and the appointer politely asks the other party to agree.
The engineer also has a very important responsibility. It is to take charge of the situation of the monks in the area under the jurisdiction of the city. Where there are people who have broken through the first realm, and where there are monks who have broken through from the second realm to the third realm...the engineer master wants all this information.
Understand and master in time. On the other hand, the engineer should also be familiar with all the monks in the third realm or above under his jurisdiction. If something happens, he can contact them and ask for help.
Many things cannot be accomplished by an engineer alone, and he needs more helpers. Monks in the third realm or above can create some artifacts that are difficult for ordinary people to make, and they also have magical powers that are incredible to ordinary people.
Therefore, they can become the target of help from the engineer. However, this kind of person has practiced well on his own, usually does not like to be disturbed, and may not give the engineer face.
But for most monks, they might ask the engineer for help if they have something to do. Moreover, they also live in the territory of the city wall, and the villages and families they belong to are more likely to ask the engineer for help, so they generally will not offend the engineer.
Teachers usually establish a good relationship and promise to help if something happens.
Monks like this are also called "Gonggong" among the people. The so-called "Gonggong" does not refer to a specific person, but to a certain type of people. This title was handed down from the time of Emperor Yan.
When Emperor Shennong was in the human world, he was the founding emperor of the country. He was known as Emperor Yan, and those who succeeded the emperor in later generations were also called Emperor Yan. When Emperor Yan was in power, he called on all monks in the third realm and above in the world to help the people in exchange for the benefits they enjoyed.
support.
This is a call rather than an order, because ordinary people cannot force monks to use magical powers to help, they can only ask as much as possible. In the era of Emperor Yan, all monks above the third realm, as long as they are willing to use magical powers to help the people
Utensils and construction projects can all be called "Gonggong", which means "shared workers".
Later, Emperor Xuanyuan rose up and became the founding emperor of a new generation, also known as the Yellow Emperor in the world. When the Yellow Emperor was the emperor, he clarified a system. Monks in the country's third realm and above promised to help the engineers of each city, and they could get
Rewards and offerings must be obeyed when their help is needed.
But this kind of recruitment is not always on call. The commitments made by the monks are usually conditional. For example, if they receive any kind of support, they will serve the city or the king several times a year. As long as the promise is fulfilled, as for other things
It is all voluntary or needs to be negotiated separately. There are also some monks among the people. They may travel to various places. Everywhere they go, they will occasionally accept requests from local residents and help them do some things. They are also called among the people.
Working together - this is a legacy from the Yan Emperor era.
As for before the time of Emperor Yan, Emperor Taihao was also the founding emperor of the country. The founding name of the country was "Hua", and he was known as Qingdi in the world. Later emperors also took the name Qingdi. However, because he was too old, the details are no longer available.
Too clear.
Nowadays, the country and city walls in Bayuan also have a Gonggong system. Each city wall has set up the position of engineer to take charge of the "Gonggong" situation within the territory. Therefore, "Gonggong" is not an official position, but an honorific title among the people.
Many people have a very high status and may not need this honorific title.
For example, Xin Shu came to Shanshui City to serve as a master engineer. Currently, the only people who can register as co-workers here are Gu Xin, Xiao Bai, Yue Niuer, Ruoshan, Ruoshui and others. There is also another group of second-level monks who may be registered in the future.
There is hope. If Shan, as the city lord, can also become a co-worker, it depends on whether he is willing or not. In fact, none of these people are unwilling.
The engineer master also has another responsibility, which is to try his best to guide the talented young people of each tribe to enter the first level to practice, and recommend them to the academy in the capital. Today, there are no academy in the Bayuan countries, but the official
Monks will still be discovered and trained. This is also a major event to discover talents for the city and the country. It is not the responsibility of the engineers alone. Monks trained by the government usually have to swear an oath to serve the city and the country. This is also a common rule.
.
From this point of view, engineers have many responsibilities, and they are simply too busy to handle it, but this is not the case. Engineers also have their own assistants, and in those days, people had very few ordinary things to do, so when there was an official position, they were often responsible
Many kinds of affairs.
Xin Shu's arrival was of course warmly welcomed by the Lord of Ruoshan City and the Presbyterian Council of Shanshui City. They were very grateful to this expert. But Li Qingshui on the Shude Hill was sneering secretly. He was the only one here who knew the details of Xin Shu.
This person is the descendant of Chi Wangqiu. He is willing to go from the capital to Shanshui City to work as a craftsman. He must have another purpose.
With his identity as an engineer, Xin Shu can easily understand the situation of all the monks of this generation. Which tribe has someone who has broken through the first realm, and which monk has broken through from one realm to a higher realm. This is what the engineer needs to know.
. If Li Qingshui finds his successor here, he will definitely not be able to get rid of Chi Wangqiu's surveillance.
Xin Shu once told Xiling in the Central Valley that he was the descendant of Chi Wang Qiu, but when he spoke, he used magic power to hold back his voice, and even the clear water on the tree could not be heard. He only flashed Chi Wang in the palm of his hand.
Qiu's token was put away immediately, and everyone's attention was on the battle formation at that time. Almost no one would notice his action, and Li Qingshui probably wouldn't either.
Although Li Qingshui was able to know what was happening in the wilderness, his perception of the soul had been greatly restricted, and it was no different from what ordinary people could see. More importantly, he could not know what was happening all the time.
He was aware of the situation in every place in the mountain. At that time, Ling Qingshui must have been paying attention to how Ruoshan was picking up the big fish shells like everyone else. It was almost impossible to detect his fleeting action.
It's a pity that Xin Shu miscalculated. Li Qingshui had already known what the outcome of this conflict would be, so he didn't care about how Yu Dakei played, and kept focusing on these people from outside the mountain. The result may be luck, Li Qingshui just happened to
He caught a glimpse of Chi Wangqiu's token in Xin Shu's hand.
Li Qingshui knew who Xin Shu was and what he was here for, but he didn't tell him or even remind Ruoshan, leaving Chiwangqiu to figure it out. Ruoshan had already followed his instructions and ordered Lu Cun and Huahai to
The villagers are not allowed to tell anything about Huwa's cultivation, at least they can hide it for a while. And before Xin Shu might find out, he should let Huwa leave the wilderness.
But Li Qingshui was still very worried, and somewhat regretful, because he did not expect that this person would become an engineer of Shanshui City. Huwa, a child, had no demonic obstacles in his heart. He could have easily broken through from the third realm to the fourth realm, but
Clearing the water made Huwa's cultivation difficult to pass so easily, and then Xin Shu came.
Now there was a sense of urgency in clearing the water, and he hoped that Huwa could complete the preparations as soon as possible.
…
But Ruoshan didn't know what the mountain god was thinking. He was very grateful and respected Xin Shu, and the two got along very harmoniously. According to common sense, the first thing the city lord did after being granted the title was to build the city, but Ruoshan didn't do that.
.He first built a residence as comfortable as possible for Lord Xin Shu in the Central Valley, and then concentrated manpower and material resources to build a pass outside Youyu Village at the foot of the mountain.
This pass is officially named Shanshui Pass. (To be continued...)
