Chapter 283 The Current Situation of the School and the Nanyang Effect
Xie Yue is a disciple who has just entered the outer sect. He was not originally named Xie, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was bought as a slave by the Xie family. Finally, he was tested to have spiritual roots, so he joined the Xiaoyao sect and became an outer disciple.
.
"Thank you, junior brother, what are your plans for today?" Xu Zheng, my roommate in the same dormitory, asked.
"What else can we do? We haven't grabbed any of the three popular outer sect tasks of planting spiritual valleys, cultivating elixirs, and raising spiritual beasts. Apart from finding a place to practice well, there is nothing else to do." Xie Yue said helplessly.
arrive.
"There is only so much land in the Immortal Sect, but there are thousands of disciples. On average, about 40% of them are not assigned these tasks... But I just feel a little unhappy when I always receive basic pills and spiritual stones for cultivation.
." Xu Zheng said angrily.
"Contented! If we practice hard, we will at least have a chance to become an inner disciple. If we hang around here, once the three years are up and we fail to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, we will be expelled from the sect." Xie Yue
Said with a smile.
"Every day we help the brothers and sisters in the inner sect, we will accumulate some contribution to the sect. According to my point of view, it would be better if we concentrate on doing it for a few months and earn enough contribution points to buy a book.
**, this may be more efficient." Xu Zheng stood up and suggested.
"You would think that, and other disciples would think that too. There are only so many inner disciples now, and we are too aggressive and will only give them the opportunity to lower the price.
According to what I said, it is better to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining quickly, and then exchange it for the token of a senior outer disciple. At that time, we can apply to leave the mountain.
At that time, as long as you find enough elixirs and come back to learn how to refine several batches of elixirs, once you succeed, you will get a lot of contribution points. Even if it doesn't work, you can take them to the alchemy room and you can get a lot of contribution points.
.
Otherwise, you can find enough ores and take them back to the weapon refiner to learn to refine the primary magic weapon. Once successful, the contribution value you get will be equally high, let alone taking the materials directly to the weapon refiner in exchange for contribution points." Thank you.
The more I thought about it, the more I suggested it.
"But with the basic level of medicine we have received at this stage, combined with the minimum guaranteed elixirs and spiritual stones we receive every month, can we really guarantee that we will enter the fifth level of Qi training within three years?" Xu Zheng was a little doubtful.
"There is some hope... After all, we can't steal others." Xie Yue shook his head helplessly.
"Indeed, although those disciples who received the mission lost a little training time, in addition to the necessary part of the harvest, the excess can be exchanged for the sect's contribution. Although it is not much, the advantage is that the cycle is not too long and it is stable.
many.
In just one year, they will have enough contribution value to buy enough spiritual stones and elixirs in Baibao Tower, or purchase a large amount of elixirs and spiritual mines; otherwise, they can exchange them for higher-level drugs.
In the days to come, not only daily practice will be easier, but also you can often go to the alchemy room and the weapon refining workshop to learn alchemy and weapon refining, so your life will be much smoother than ours." Xu Zheng said unwillingly.
"At this stage...the old guys in the sect are actually very calculating.
I'm afraid that at least 90% of the so-called harvest income will be collected as taxes, and the remaining 10% of taxes will not be exchanged for anything.
As you said before, the advantage is that the cycle is not long and the income is stable.
According to my opinion, these incomes are probably similar to what senior outer disciples earn from going out, and sometimes they are even less than what they earn from going out." Xie Yue said solemnly.
"Perhaps, at this stage, their lives are better than ours. Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Since I can't please my senior brothers and sisters, I'd better go and practice obediently..." Xu Zheng said directly
Walked out of the dormitory.
Xie Yue also walked out with a smile, had a simple breakfast, and then chose a secluded place to practice. At this stage, his goal is not only to become a senior disciple of the outer sect, but also to compete in the arena competition to be held a year later.
As long as you enter the top ten, you can enter twice the spirit gathering array to practice for a year. As long as you work hard enough, it will definitely not be a problem to reach the fifth level of Qi training within three years.
In fact, none of them knew that according to their qualifications, it would be absolutely no problem to enter the fifth level of Qi Refining within one year. After all, Xie Xin chose the most qualified among all the disciples who signed up.
At the same time, inside the inner gate.
"Sister Zhaoji, what are your plans for today?" Cao Ling took Mi Zhen to Cai Yan's dormitory.
"What other arrangements can there be?" Cai Yan was combing her hair at the moment. Her waist-length hair was hanging down like a waterfall, adding a bit of charm to her pure and wise appearance.
After briefly combing her hair a few times, Cai Yan said with a smile: "I plan to take a good rest these days and apply to leave the sect in a few days."
"But you have to do a mission?" Cao Ling's eyes lit up.
"Well, I heard that on the prairie in northwest China, there lived the remnants of a group of Blazing Horses. The sect issued a mission to capture two of them and tame them." Cai Yan said with a smile.
"Blazing horse? Speaking of which, I remembered that Lu Bu, nicknamed the 'God of War', was riding a red mutated sweat-blooded horse. It must be one of the legacies. Why don't we take it?
Was it captured for business?" Cao Ling said with a wicked smile.
"It's best not to! Please note that the leader has said that Lu Bu is a strong martial artist in the golden elixir stage, and I can't wait for the monks in the foundation-building stage. If we go to grab the horse, I'm afraid the horse hasn't been grabbed yet, and we all have to join in."
Mi Zhen said anxiously.
"Haha, I'm afraid that Sister Cao admires heroes and just wants to throw herself into a trap and become a couple with Lu Bu?" Cai Yan said with a smile.
"Who's attracted to him? He's just a monk at the Golden Core stage! If you want me to like you, you must at least be at the Nascent Soul stage!" Cao Ling immediately turned his head away.
"Nascent Soul stage? Could Sister Cao be talking about Captain Yan of the escort team? Or the member under his command? I heard that the head disciple Lou Gui, although his cultivation has been reduced to the foundation building stage, his strength has exceeded that of the monks in the Nascent Soul stage
, it’s a good choice!” Cai Yan continued to joke.
"Don't choose them! Either they are too old to die, or they are too dull to die!" Cao Ling immediately complained.
"Sister Cai, don't you know? Our sister Cao, she has a crush on the leader!" Mi Zhen stepped forward to agree.
"What are you talking about about me? Aren't you the one?!" Upon hearing this, Cao Ling immediately pointed at Mi Zhen and retorted.
"What do I like? But there are so many outstanding women around him, so he might not look down on me..." Mi Zhen finished speaking, her expression a little sad.
"Yes, excellent men are a scarce resource among the people. If you don't want to share it with others, I'm afraid it won't be easy. You know, the female disciples in the entire sect now range from seniors like Xiangxiang to newly recruited outer disciples.
The female disciples are all striving to become the head’s wife!” Cai Yan also said with a somewhat dazed expression.
Oh no, she's a competitor too!
Cao Ling and Mi Zhen reacted immediately.
No matter what, the lives of the disciples are always so leisurely and leisurely, and the operation of the Xiaoyao Sect has gradually stabilized and become regular.
In the end, those former inner and outer disciples enjoyed too much thanks to Xie Xin's selfless dedication, and they kept forgetting that as disciples, they also had their obligations.
Let’s not talk about the Xiaoyao Sect, let’s just say that the whole Han Dynasty is also in a turmoil nowadays.
Time has entered 195 years. God knows why time flies by so fast?
In this year, Li urged Guo Si to rebel, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie took the opportunity to flee. Miraculously, the person who advised him was Jia Xu, who had already taken refuge with Liu Bian. The reason for this outcome was that Liu Bian
He couldn't bear that his younger brother continued to live a miserable life under the hostage of Li Cui and Guo Bang.
Liu Xie finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao instead of entering Yizhou. The reason is also very simple, because once Liu Xie enters Shu, the interests of the two brothers will conflict. Once the conflict reaches a certain level, there is destined to be only one.
can survive.
Liu Bian didn't want to kill his younger brother, so he could only let him go wherever he wanted. But Liu Xie didn't like this brother, or felt ashamed of him, so he didn't go to Yizhou and went directly to Luoyang.
All.
Finally, under the joint attack of Li Cui, Bai Bo Huangjin, and Yuan Shao, he had to flee again. Finally, Cao Cao took advantage of him and moved to Yanzhou, and finally moved the capital to Xu County. From then on, Xu County was renamed Xuchang.
As early as this spring, Cao Cao recaptured the entire territory of Yanzhou. Lu Fengxian, the God of War, also fled to Xuzhou in embarrassment, and was finally taken in by Liu Bei and stationed in the Xiaopei area.
It's not that Lu Bu is weak, but that as a rebel, he has bad luck everywhere. During the battle, there is either a problem with the food and fodder in the rear, or there is a physical problem with the soldiers under his command. Anyway, problems are everywhere.
The law of heaven did not allow him to survive, so he opposed him everywhere. The three advantages of heaven, earth and man were gone. Even though he had great fighting power, in order to take into account the safety of his subordinates in the desperate situation, he had to lead his people to escape.
At the same time, Sun Ce, with the help of Zhou Yu, defeated Liu Yao. Unfortunately, Taishi Ci had no hope because he had already defected to Gongsun Du.
But an unexpected figure was recruited by him, that is, the little-known and buried historical general-Qu'a young general Deng Jin (the name is made up).
In history, the super fierce man who fought against Huang Gai and other second- and third-rate generals alone for more than an hour finally entered the great drama of history.
Of course, these are not the most important, because these are not the most sensational things.
What attracts the attention of the princes all over the world the most is that the first phase of Nanyang County’s transformation has been completed!
Every road in Nanyang County has been widened and reinforced. Not only the deployment of troops, but also merchants' business has been greatly facilitated.
In addition, Nanyang County was originally located in the core area of China, making it an important hub.
As a result, caravans going to do business from all over the world chose to pass by Nanyang.
At first, they went directly to their destination, but later they all gathered in the comprehensive market in Wancheng to directly trade the goods they needed to reduce the risks and costs of transportation.
For a time, Nanyang County's tax revenue increased several times. With all supplies available, the people's living conditions immediately improved several levels.
The unusual popularity of Nanyang County made other princes who were watching realize the importance of roads.
Not only is it convenient to transport troops, but it can also increase tax revenue!
More taxes means more soldiers! Not those who are forced to serve, but those who serve voluntarily.
Even if it doesn't work out, you can buy armaments or military rations elsewhere.
Obviously, Nanyang County’s development model soon developed into the so-called ‘Nanyang Effect’.
The various princes who thought they had mastered its essence immediately rushed to imitate it as soon as conditions allowed.
It was at this time that the second phase of reconstruction operations in Nanyang County began.
