The advantages and disadvantages of this system can be seen at a glance, but Bega Country has no better way, because its territory is so vast that it is difficult to take care of itself——
The Yuan Kingdom is not small in size, ranking sixth in terms of territorial area among the known countries except the Sea Kingdom and the Lake Kingdom.
But the Bejia Kingdom is six times bigger, the largest in the world!
He Lingchuan had seen the Bega territory on the sand table. It was such a spectacular area, connecting to the ocean to the north and the Earth Sea to the east.
Let's put it this way, if He Lingchuan rides a green beast all the way from the easternmost point of Bejia to the west, traveling four hundred miles a day, and only walks in a straight line, it will take more than thirty days to reach the westernmost point of the Demon Kingdom's territory!
This still ignores the fact that there are mountains and rivers in the middle, countless deserts, swamps, lakes, and mountains. Otherwise, the time would be extended many times.
This country has always been a strange existence with mixed reputations. Countless people are not optimistic about its system and its customs. After all, other countries imitate Bega and they will be gone within a hundred or two hundred years.
To this day, it is also the focus of repeated research by courts, historians, and staff officers in various countries.
But no matter what others say, the Bega Kingdom is still there, the Demon Emperor is still there, and this huge empire can still run.
The territory of Baoshu Kingdom is much larger than the entire Fu Kingdom, but its capital is close to the south, and caravans can reach it quickly across the border.
Along the way, He Lingchuan became accustomed to the scene of "monsters coexisting".
The larger the town, the weirder the architectural styles. Some of them simply break He Lingchuan's understanding of "houses" because the residents are not only humans, but also monsters.
He also watched the Mole Demon family go to a carpenter to customize their own house - the total area was less than five square meters, and they only needed to be nailed to the exterior wall of other people's houses.
Entering the Northern Demon Kingdom is like entering a strange and bizarre new world. Sometimes it looks chaotic, but it operates in its own order.
This was the result of six hundred years of hard work, and it was also a wonder that could never be seen in the Yuan Kingdom. He Lingchuan felt that it was an eye-opener.
The caravan arrived at Fufeng City, the capital of Baoshu Kingdom, at night. The sky was covered with dark clouds, but the entire city was not immersed in darkness.
Two fluorescent spores are hung every hundred feet on the road to illuminate pedestrians.
This special product of Magic Nest Swamp is bright and stable, and is not affected by wind. He Lingchuan laughed when he saw it. No wonder Gan's Chamber of Commerce is so fat that it has its own business here.
But after the Shimen caravan returns from Lingxu City, it may take over this cash cow.
There are not many people on the road, but the lights are on in restaurants and guesthouses. If you look closer, there may be people drinking and drinking.
After entering the city, Wu Jinsong and the two asked He Lingchuan to accompany them back to Taifu's Mansion, while the caravan went to the inn to stay.
While the three of them were walking through the streets, they also met a team of "Ye Xiang Lang". They were a team that came out in the middle of the night to collect "Ye Xiang" and transport them out of the city.
These are dozens of huge dung beetles, also commonly known as dung beetles. They pull carts, and each cart carries a huge wooden barrel. The convoy goes from house to house to collect night fragrance, pour it into the big wooden barrel, and it will be delivered before dawn.
Fertilizer outside the city.
After some time, these fertilizers can still be used in the fields.
The municipal governments of both Shihuan and Heishui City also provide this kind of service, but the monsters are responsible for the collection and transportation. He Lingchuan was surprised to see such a professional monster species when he met them for the first time.
There are more than a dozen such teams in Fufeng City.
Wu Jinsong felt a little embarrassed when he saw the dung beetles, and quickly led He Lingchuan to the right path.
The Night Scent team will not appear on the main road.
The three of them rushed to the Taifu's Mansion, and after some communication, He Lingchuan was waiting in the side hall.
The Taifu Mansion was very large, about four times the size of Atsuhiga's residence. He passed three gardens along the way, each with a different theme. The one that impressed him the most had a small waterfall in it.
On both sides of the water flow are vines with strange flowers and green ferns. Palmetto palms are taller than people. It feels like you are in a rain forest here, which is completely different from the garden landscaping of the Kite Kingdom.
There is a huge pond in another garden, and the fish in it are also surprisingly big. They are not koi, but their belly scales are very brightly colored. The head and tail are eight feet long, and the mouth is so big that it seems like it can swallow a baby.
From the way the big fish looked at people, He Lingchuan had reason to believe that this was probably a fish demon.
He waited in the side hall for two quarters of an hour, drank three cups of hot tea, and then the real master came.
Sha Cong, the Grand Prince of Baoshu Kingdom, has just turned sixty this year, but he only has a strand of silver on his temples. He is very healthy and looks less than fifty.
He strode into the hall with a bright look in his eyes, and followed behind him was a man in his thirties, with an expressionless face.
Wu Jinsong, who was always by Taifu's side, quickly introduced both parties.
It turns out that the person behind Sha Cong's death is none other than his second son, Sha Xinghai, who suffered the loss of his whole soul.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Jinsong introduced He Lingchuan as "He Xiao", a distant relative of the two brothers from the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.
Sha Cong looked He Lingchuan up and down with scrutiny in his eyes: "You sent my son's soul back, what can I ask for?"
Wu Jinsong had just reported this trip to him in general.
He Lingchuan shook his head: "Just on my way."
"Okay, then let's return his soul to its place."
Sha Cong stepped out of the way, and He Lingchuan took out the soul-capturing mirror from his arms, shined the mirror on Sha Xinghai, and took two pictures.
I saw a faint white light fly out of the mirror, circle around Sha Xinghai, as if to confirm the true deity, and then penetrated through his seven orifices.
Sha Xinghai was startled, took a long breath, and his eyes were no longer dull.
He bowed to Sha Cong and said, "Father, I'm back." Then he said to He Lingchuan, "Thank you, little brother He."
"Be careful next time and don't let Xiaoxiao take advantage of you!" Sha Cong waved his hand and asked Sha Xinghai to step back, then looked at He Lingchuan, "You don't take credit, but the credit is still there. Oh, I heard you were there
Live in Fu country?"
"Yes."
"Wu Jinsong said that you are brave and resourceful. I will recommend you to the monarch as the captain of Honglin. Are you satisfied?"
He Lingchuan had just arrived and didn't know what the position was, so it wasn't too bad after all. He was very grateful to Sha Xinghai, and the reward Sha Cong paid should be appropriate. If it was too meager, it would be an underestimation of this kindness.
Wu Jinsong even blinked at him, gesturing for him to take it.
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "I still have to go to Lingxu City, and we'll talk about it when I get back."
Sha Cong was not surprised: "What are you going to do?"
"I want to see the world-famous capital of Bejia and take a trip to Xushan Mountain."
Zhu Erniang's greatest legacy is in Xushan, where the gate of the Great Return Sect is located. He Lingchuan dared to name this place openly because he had already learned from Wu Jinsong and Master Shi Er that Xushan is now Lingxu
One of the city's famous attractions, it receives a large number of tourists every day.
For such an ancient relic, Lingxu City does not cover it up or mark it as a forbidden area, which shows its magnanimity.
It is not unusual at all for the hot-blooded young man He Lingchuan to visit the mountains and visit the saints.
"It's okay to go there. The capital city is spectacular and hard to find in the world." Sha Cong said, "You can come back and become an official after visiting the capital city."
After He Lingchuan released Sha Xinghai's soul, he put away the mirror. Seeing that he didn't refuse, Sha Cong said again: "Let me see your mirror."
"It has recognized me as Lord."
Sha Cong smiled: "Don't worry, I won't steal it from you."
He Lingchuan then took out the soul-capturing mirror.
Sha Cong took it in his hand and rubbed it a few times, then muttered: "It's a spiritual thing."
With He Lingchuan by his side, the mirror would naturally not capture his soul for no reason, otherwise it would be dangerous just to look at the mirror like this.
"Where did you get the Imperial Liquid Cream for this mirror?"
"It doesn't know either," He Lingchuan said, "It woke up in a tree stump in the wild. The mirror slave walked for five days and five nights before finding the human village. It didn't know where it was before."
Sha Cong returned the mirror to him: "By the way, it will be my king's 800th birthday in a few days. You might as well join in the fun before leaving."
He Lingchuan nodded: "I was about to take a look."
"You have come a long way and are tired from traveling and traveling. Go back and rest. I'll let Xu Dongdong see you off."
Taifu Sha called, and Xu Dongdong walked out of the door and escorted He Lingchuan out of the house all the way to the inn where Shi Congshan stayed.
Shi Congshui was overjoyed when he heard that he had gotten an official job after all this coming and going, and immediately wanted to prepare wine and food for him to celebrate.
He Lingchuan waved his hand: "It's not a matter of telling the eight characters."
He has a position in the Yuan Kingdom, and generally speaking, he cannot be an official in other countries until he leaves office. Even if he forcibly received the Sheji Order from the Bejia Kingdom, he would not be able to use its energy.
There is only one exception:
envoy.
Only then can he be an official in both countries as a matter of course.
"Besides, why did he just give me an official position before he even asked about my origins?" Grand Tutor, are you so frivolous in doing things?
"I heard that Bejia's standard for employing people is to be informal and meritocratic. Many of the strongmen active in Bejia's court are from outside. For example, this Taifu Sha, his father came from a country named Tang in the state of Dai.
He is not from the Baoshu country." Shi Congshui smiled and said, "Maybe he is just happy to see the talent?"
He Lingchuan laughed: "How can there be love and hate for no reason?"
Shi Congshui only regarded him as humble: "If you are proud of your life, you should have all the fun!"
He Lingchuan smiled and drank a glass of wine, replaying the trip to Taifu's Mansion in his mind.
Even though he had helped Sha Xinghai, Taifu Sha treated him in a condescending manner. This man had been in a high position for a long time, and there were only two leaders in the country, King Baoshu and the Prime Minister. His reserve and arrogance had long been engraved in his bones.
In his eyes, this kindness can be offset by appropriate rewards.
He Lingchuan didn't care at all.
In Bega Country, he is just a person with no roots, no origins, and no identity. He doesn't care what others think of him.
Fu Feng City is just a stop on his journey and will be gone in the blink of an eye.
"Come on, drink!"
￥￥￥￥￥
After He Lingchuan left, Sha Xinghai walked out of the back hall again with a guilty look on his face:
"Father, I failed to handle this errand."
"No one expected that you would be attacked before arriving in Wu Ze County." Taifu Sha waved his hand, "The armor and weapons are not marked, and dead soldiers swallow poison when captured. Hey, someone in the government has leaked your whereabouts.
