I can strengthen

Chapter 317 Qingyuan
"ended."

Luo Yan looked at Zhuang Qingmei who looked like a fairy in the distance, and there was a touch of reverence in his eyes.

too strong.

The final counterattack was devastating, and it turned defeat into victory in an instant, defeating Lu Chengping.

Moreover, with the same moves!

The range covered by that powerful domain is filled with imperial prestige, and all existence kowtows to the emperor.

Compared with Zhuang Qingmei's domain, Lu Chengping's domain is not only pitifully small, but also extremely weak, like an egg hitting a rock, extremely vulnerable to a single blow.

"As expected, he is a conquering monk after all." Tu Fei sighed with envy in his eyes.

He is different from Luo Yan.

For the past three years, Luo Yan has been staying in Jicheng, but he has always been by Zhuang Qingmei's side.

He witnessed Zhuang Qingmei's founding of the Po Sao Sect, and how the Po Sa Sect grew step by step, how it changed the world, expanded its influence to several states, and expanded to the point where it was worshiped by all people.

Zhuang Qingmei's skill and courage convinced him sincerely, and he was willing to bow his head.

He firmly believed that there was nothing in this world that Zhuang Qingmei could not do.

"What will senior Zhuang do next?" Luo Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at Tu Fei.

"Let's wait and see." Tu Fei smiled mysteriously.

……

……

In April 10396 of the Qing Emperor's calendar, Mu Lu Chengping of Dongxiang Prefecture was bombarded and killed by a mysterious person, leaving no bones left, which shocked the world.

Emperor Qing retreated, the dragons had no leader, and first-rank officials could only be appointed by Emperor Qing himself.

As a result, the issue of who temporarily acted as the governor of Dongxiang Prefecture became a problem that the Daqing court urgently needed to solve.

Qingdu.

A land filled with imperial prestige.

In a golden palace, a group of powerful people were sitting in a circle, their faces were flushed, and they were arguing fiercely.

There are seven prefectures in Daqing.

They are Dongxiang Prefecture, Nanli Prefecture, Xichuan Prefecture, Beiyuan Prefecture, Shangzhou, Xiazhou and Zhongzhou.

And among this group of people, there are state pastor representatives from the seven states.

"Dongxiang Prefecture is the closest to my Xiazhou. My Xiazhou prefect said that I can manage Dongxiang Prefecture together until His Majesty Emperor Qing leaves customs and appoints a new Dongxiang prefect."

"Hmph! You are poor in Xiazhou, so you should first think about how to feed the people under your command. I think that Dongxiang Prefecture should be managed by me in Zhongzhou. It just so happens that Zhongzhou also borders Dongxiang Prefecture, and Zhongzhou is rich. , so that the people of Dongxiang Prefecture can live a better life.”

"Your news is old-fashioned. I, Xiazhou state pastor, have long cooperated with Posuo Sect to promote the cultivation of Chiyang rice. Now, the grain production in my Xiazhou has more than doubled. Don't talk about a Dongxiang state, just another In the two states of Canada, I can afford to go down to the state."

"Ahem...you two, stop arguing. I, Mr. Xu, Mu of Nanli State, and Mr. Lu of Dongxiang State are best friends. Mr. Xu said that he is willing to take charge of Dongxiang Prefecture temporarily, and at the same time find the murderer, and avenge Mr. Lu. avenge."

"I, Xichuan Prefecture, are far away from Dongxiang Prefecture, but the governor of our state is also willing to send a few key officials to contribute to Dongxiang Prefecture."

"I am also willing to send some officials from the state."

"I am North Yuanzhou..."

"Well, in fact, Dongxiang Prefecture can be autonomous..."

The state herd representatives of the seven states flickered, either wanting to take charge of Dongxiang Prefecture, or sending officials to settle in Dongxiang Prefecture.

Dongxiang Prefecture has a large population and generates a huge amount of air transport every year.

If the state shepherds behind them can also manage Dongxiang Prefecture, they will be able to intercept a lot of luck, thus making their own strength further.

some of.

The prefect of Sanzhou, which is adjacent to Dongxiang Prefecture, wants to directly manage Dongxiang Prefecture, while the remaining three states want to send officials to take a share of the pie.

In the eyes of Zhou Mu of the other six states, Dongxiang Prefecture has become a fish on the chopping board, and everyone wants to get a piece of it.

Representatives of pastoralists from various states quarreled fiercely.

At this time, there was a sudden shout from the direction above.

"Shut up!"

It was a young man with a high crown on his head and a golden python robe.

His eyes were a noble golden color, and his every move carried the majesty of the emperor, which made people inexplicably awed, and couldn't help but want to bow his head.

This young man is the prince of Daqing, Qingyuan!

Qingyuan has been on the throne for 9000 years.

Unfortunately, 8000 years ago, Emperor Qing lived in the Jinluan Palace. Apart from the name of Prince, he didn't have much power in his hands.

In the next 1000 years, Emperor Qing retreated, and he temporarily took over the affairs of Daqing on behalf of Emperor Qing.

But the prince is just a prince after all, his luck, his personality, and even the seven state shepherds who keep intercepting their luck can't be suppressed.

Therefore, he temporarily managed Daqing on behalf of Emperor Qing in name, but in fact he barely managed Zhongzhou where Qingdu is located. This is the result of his continuous efforts in the past 1000 years.

He looked down at the representatives of the other six states, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Since his father retreated, these state pastors have been rampant.

He is still a courtier in name, but actually turned the states into a country within a country. Not only did he ignore him as the prince, but he even tried various methods to intercept the luck, making the luck that is now distributed from the official seal more and more difficult. come less and less.

He wants to change this situation, but he has more than enough energy.

Now watching these representatives of state herdsmen arguing for their own interests, his mood was naturally extremely bad.

Thinking of this, he slapped the table and said coldly: "The top priority is not to send a new state shepherd to manage Dongxiang Prefecture, but to find the murderer who assassinated Lu Chengping and Lord Lu."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone muttered: "What is there to look for? Looking at my Daqing, there are only a handful of people capable of killing Lord Lu, just a few people..."

"Then who are these people?" Qing Yuan looked at the man and asked with cold eyes.

"what?"

The man came back to his senses, realized that he had said something wrong, trembled, and hurriedly said: "Return to Your Highness, I don't know anything, I'm talking nonsense."

The "those few people" he mentioned, of course, referred to the state shepherds of various states and Qingyuan in front of him.

It's just that you understand it in your heart.

It's too easy to offend people by speaking out.

"His Royal Highness, I, Nanlizhou Zhoumu, have made a promise that I will definitely find the murderer who assassinated Mr. Lu." The representative of Nanlizhou stood up and cupped his hands towards Qingyuan with a solemn expression.

"Maybe the murderer is you, Nanli State Shepherd?" Someone sneered and said: "Emperor Qing doesn't come out, and the State Shepherd is the pinnacle of this world. Let me ask you, who can kill the State Shepherd? Unless it's a surprise attack... But who else can make Lord Lu put down his guard, except your best friend, Zhou Mu of Nanli State?"

"You fart!" The representative of Nanli Prefecture suddenly stood up, and glared at the person who spoke angrily.

"What? Was my officer right? Are you angry?" The man had a playful expression on his face, and he sat down in his seat leisurely.

"Hmph. You said that Master Lu was killed by Master Xu in a sneak attack. What about the evidence? If there is no evidence, it is slander! You are a third-rank official, how dare you slander the first-rank Master Xu?!"

The representative of Nanlizhou sat back, with a sneer on his face, with a hint of threat.

"Are you threatening me?" The man froze for a moment.

"I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling you that you need evidence. All the people in Dongxiang Prefecture saw Mr. Lu fighting fiercely with that man in the sky. Why do you say a sneak attack? You have no evidence, so you framed it out of thin air. When this matter is over, I will report the matter truthfully to Mr. Xu when I return to Nanli Prefecture."

The representative of Nanlizhou sneered.

Hearing this, the person who spoke earlier had his eyelids beating and his heart pounding.

There is also a state shepherd behind him, and he is not afraid of threats from the representative of Nanli State, but after hearing what the representative of Nanli State said, his guess is indeed untenable.

If Nanlizhou Zhou Muzhen took this matter to heart and planned to deal with him, perhaps with just one sentence, he would have to shed several layers of skin.

"All right."

Qing Yuanduan sat at the head, and after watching the scene, he continued: "Dare to kill me, Daqing State Mu... No matter who the murderer is, His Highness will find him out and bring him to justice."

The cold light in his eyes was solid.

He was clearly talking about the murderer, but his cold eyes scanned the state representatives, making the state representatives tremble slightly.

From Qingyuan's eyes, they read the killing intent.

Even if the murderer is the shepherd of the other six states, Qing Yuan will never let it go.

The hall fell into silence.

After a while, someone said: "Then Your Highness, Dongxiang Prefecture..."

"The prince of Dongxiang Prefecture will take care of it himself. In a few days, the prince will leave for Dongxiang Prefecture." Qingyuan said without doubt.

Zhou Mu is jealous of Dongxiangzhou, how can he not be jealous?

He planned to go there in person, if he didn't go there in person, it would be difficult for him to completely control Dongxiang Prefecture.

"His Royal Highness, you have a noble status, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to go to Dongxiang Prefecture rashly?" Someone tried to ask.

"That's right, the murderer who killed Mr. Lu was ruthless, and he must still be hiding in Dongxiang Prefecture. If you go, if something happens, I will really be leaderless in Daqing!" Another person also said, with an extremely urgent tone.

"His Royal Highness, please think twice!"

"His Royal Highness, please think twice!"

"His Royal Highness, please think twice!"

this moment.

Not only the representatives of the seven states, but even several second-rank and third-rank officials in Qingdu were all terrified, kneeling on the ground, begging Qingyuan to take back his order.

Looking at the officials kneeling in a row in front of them.

Qingyuan was inexplicably irritable.

If he does not control Dongxiang Prefecture, how will he gain luck, revive the majesty of the royal family, and make the state priests bow their heads and obey?

For thousands of years, these states have nurtured Kou's self-respect and harvested luck.

For luck, they let the thieves grow up, and let the people under their command be abused and humiliated by the thieves.

He could feel that the hearts of the people were collapsing.

If he doesn't stop it, his Daqing Dynasty may be separated and disintegrated.

As a prince, he must do something, not only for himself, but also for Daqing.

"His Royal Highness has made up his mind, so there is no need to say more." Qing Yuan waved his sleeves vigorously.

Dongxiang State is his way to break the situation. If he can sit on the luck of the two states, he will definitely be able to suppress the state shepherds of each state and become an existence like his father.

Seeing Qingyuan's insistence, the representatives of each state looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

Why doesn't your highness understand?
The state pastors of the states will watch you take your Dongxiang state under your command?Will you let your prince grow stronger?
No, it won't.

In the eyes of the state herds, the biggest enemy is not the other state herds, but the prince Qingyuan.

In order to suppress Qingyuan, they will even put aside their grievances and cooperate temporarily.

……

……

"drive!"

Dongxiang Prefecture, somewhere three hundred miles away from the state capital.

The convoy, which spread for one kilometer, galloped forward on the official road.

"How far is it?"

"Return to my lord, the state city of Dongxiang Prefecture is three hundred miles ahead."

"Ah."

In a certain carriage, Qing Yuan lifted the curtain and looked out.

As far as the eye can see, the ground is golden, and the heavy rice is bloated and crowded in the farmland, and the rice is not seen.

Moreover, these rice grains are plump, the size of grapes. Under the sunlight, they look like rounds of small suns, and people can't take their eyes off at a glance.

Qingyuan had never seen such a bountiful crop of rice, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked in surprise, "Is this the famous Chiyang rice in the past two years?"

"Yes."

Beside Qingyuan, an old official stroked his beard and laughed loudly, saying: "I heard that this Chiyang rice was bred by a woman called Posa Fairy. Not only is the yield of this kind of rice ten times that of ordinary rice, but There are countless other advantages.”

"For example, the environmental temperature is not high, and it can grow in wetlands or Gobi."

"For example, the growth cycle is only two months. Counting the harvest time, five rounds can be planted a year, and each round can yield a good harvest."

People eat for food.

Such an abundance of food is enough to solve the hunger problem of the people of Daqing from the root, and even increase the population of Daqing by at least five times!
Five times the population, that is five times the luck.

As a Daqing official, how could he be unhappy?
"It's really my great luck." Qing Yuan's eyes were shining brightly.

With this blazing sun rice, Daqing is bound to reach new heights in his hands.

"Your Highness doesn't know anything, not just this blazing sun rice. In the past two years, the Possessed Fairy has produced a lot of good things, such as a meat animal called a saber-toothed pig."

"This kind of meat animal eats grass and grows meat. It can grow to a weight of three thousand catties in half a year."

"The meat is plump and nutritious, and the key price is extremely low, only one-third of ordinary pork."

Qingyuan was surprised and said: "It grows to three thousand catties in half a year? Does it have to eat a lot of grass? Is there so much grass for that saber-toothed pig?"

The old official smiled and shook his head, and said: "The Possessing Fairy also cultivated a kind of forage called Cage Sun Grass. Cage Sun Grass can grow a foot in a night, as long as its roots are left, it can continue to grow."

"One hundred acres of Cage Yang Grass pasture is enough to feed a thousand saber-toothed pigs."

"Now, all the pig farms in Dongxiang Prefecture have been transformed into saber-tooth pig farms, and their meat production has more than doubled."

"Hundred times?" Qing Yuan was stunned.

From food to meat.

This almost solved the food problem of the common people!
That whirling fairy is so terrifying? !

He was surprised when the old official suddenly stretched out his arm and pointed to the sky outside the carriage.

"Look, Your Highness, what is that?"

"what?"

Qing Yuan looked in the direction pointed by the old official.

In the sky, a streamlined flying object was floating in the air, like a shuttle, but wide at the front and narrow at the back.

His eyes were surprised, and he couldn't help asking: "What is that?"

The old official smiled and said: "That is a floating airship, a flying object that relies on being filled with gas to float in the air. Nowadays, there are airship routes between major cities in Dongxiang Prefecture."

"And relying on the airship, the people of each prefecture can fly from one prefecture to another in just a few hours, saving at least [-]% of the traveling time!"

Qing Yuan stared blankly at the airship, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He lived in Qingdu and Zhongzhou all the year round, and he always felt that Zhongzhou was the most prosperous and advanced place in Daqing.

But when he arrived in Dongxiang Prefecture, he realized that he was wrong, and it was absurdly wrong.

Dongxiang Prefecture is not the backcountry in his imagination at all. On the contrary, novelty emerges endlessly. Even though he is a prince, it is still an eye-opener and he can't help being shocked.

"By the way, Your Highness, this floating airship was also invented by the goddess Posa." The old official said with a smile.
