Chapter 220 The New Territory and the New Yin Palace

There is only one word difference between Tianmen Lake and Swan Lake.

When Dong Jinrui and the others settled down, the first thing they wanted was to burn the wasteland.Burn a large area of ​​shrubs and woods by the lake to open up wasteland and turn it into fertile land.

This is a heavy job, and the first thing to do is to cut down the trees here.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first plant trees.The big tree that has grown by the lake for an unknown number of years is now laying the foundation for Dong Jinrui and the others' happy life.

The thick trees are cut down, and after drying, these trees are used as materials for building wooden houses and for firing brick kilns.

Cut down trees, burn bricks, build houses.This is the first step.

More than a dozen families, with dozens of slaves from Guifang Kingdom, and a hundred or so people started to work.Only a few days later, a small village that had begun to take shape was built.

The log houses are only for transitional use, and will gradually become green brick houses in the future.Now logging is the top priority. They need to build enough houses and store enough fuel before it snows in winter.

When the prototype of their village was built, a letter bird flew to their village.This is the reply letter from the county government office.

The general meaning is that the county knew that you settled here, and re-booked you a yellow book. From now on, this will be Tianmen Lake Village.

After getting a reply from the county, Dong Jinrui's confidence was greatly boosted, and he worked even harder.

When they were busy until the end of September, before the first heavy snow came, a dozen foxes came here.

These dozen or so foxes were wearing leather armor, and there was a bright red character 'Zhang' on the back of the leather armor. They knew at a glance that they were the fox soldiers of Mr. Zhang's family.

These fox soldiers found Dong Jinrui and said, "Your place is really far away, let us find it easily."

Dong Jinrui immediately laughed and said, "This place is far away, but the land is fertile and suitable for farming..."

Hearing this, the fox soldier waved his hand and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm here to deliver an order. You are going to build the Jinhua Niangniang Temple, the Earth Temple and the City God Statue."

Upon hearing this, Dong Jinrui immediately nodded and said, "It's easy, let's build it right away."

These fox soldiers nodded and said, "Then hurry up, we have brought all the statues."

In such a small village, there is no more than a hundred people, so there is no need to build a formal temple.Of course, if they want to build, that's fine.

But for small villages and small villages, do what you can.Just build a Jinhua Empress Temple.The so-called ancestral hall is a building that looks like a small temple but is not big.

This kind of building is between three feet and five feet away from the ground. It doesn't need to be too big, it just needs to be able to accommodate the statue.It can be done with stone, wood and mud tiles.This kind of shrine was very common in the countryside in the past, but it was destroyed a lot because of the movement, but it is a country with a good life, and there are still many such shrines.

As for the earth temple, it is even simpler. You only need to build a small temple one foot square on the ground. Because it is an earth temple, it must be grounded, but it cannot be three feet away from the ground.

This kind of earth temple can be built in any way. In some places, two stone slabs are built together, and a stone tied with a red string is placed inside, which is considered complete.Truly an abstraction within an abstraction.

The Digong Temple is the most down-to-earth temple without particularity.

As for the Town God's Temple, it does not need to be built in the countryside, but if it is really necessary to build it, it can be combined with the Earth Temple.You only need to raise one foot in the earth temple and put the statue of the city god on it.

Because the City God is the superior of the Land Lord, he should be higher than the Land Lord to show his dignity.

Dong Jinrui heard that the fox soldier was a little anxious, so he found other people, asked them to stop their work, and made a wooden Jinhua Empress Temple with ready-made wood.

This wooden shrine uses a three-foot-high wooden pile as a base, and builds a small house three feet high, one foot wide, and two feet thick.

After the construction was completed, everyone lit incense, offered simple sacrifices, and then invited in the statue of the Golden Flower Empress brought by the fox soldiers.This statue was also consecrated in the Jinhua Niangniang Temple in the county seat.

Please enter the statue, and the whole village worships for a while, and that's it.

As for the land masters and city gods, they are land only. As long as statues are erected on the land under their jurisdiction, they will naturally return to their positions.There is no need to go to the temple to invite the statue.

What Dong Jinrui did was being done in Guifang area during this time.

Expansion of territory is not a simple word, but a series of tasks.It's not that you beat down, you see, you come, you conquer, this place belongs to you.

Rather, it requires a series of management, naturalization and domination.Among these things, the most important thing for the Yang officials in the world is the yellow book, which is a book that records the population of a place. With this book, there is a basis for ruling.

It is the people who rule forever, not the land.

But for the Yin government, it is necessary to expand the Yin government, and the most important thing is to follow the migrating people, or establish a new Yin government system locally.

Likewise, this also requires the cooperation of people.

It is useless to put a statue of a god or build a temple on the ground. It needs people to worship and maintain it. Only in this way can the incense here be connected and a new network of Yin gods can be formed.

If you are conquering a foreign country, you must first break their religious thinking and replace it with your own, otherwise the rule will never succeed.

This is especially important in this world where Taoism is manifested and gods and ghosts are all heavens.

In Guifang area, the original Guifang people were expelled, and the rest, the newcomers are all Dagan people. This belief is natural, so it is only necessary to build the shrine.

Everyone has nothing to say, just do it.

In addition to this, Wu Qianzhu took the Yin soldiers from Tianmen County and started to set off for Ghost King Fort.

The Ghost King Fort area is a ghost creature, not suitable for human habitation.But ghosts don't matter.Since this place has already belonged to Tianmen County, this piece of ghosts and creatures will naturally be under the control of the City God Wuqian.

Zhang Wei came to Tianmen County for a year. During this year, he actively sacrificed and led the people to sacrifice together.Because of his leading role, the incense is getting better and better these years.

One of the biggest benefits of good incense is that it can raise more ghost soldiers!
Over the course of a year, Wu Qian's pawns have grown from three or two kittens to eight thousand ghost pawns, which can be described as an explosive growth.All this is thanks to Zhang Wei.

With so many ghost soldiers, Wu Qianzu became more courageous. This time under Zhang Wei's order, he took eight thousand ghost soldiers to recover the Ghost King Fort.

If things go well, this will be the place where his ghost pawns will be stationed in the future.

Ever since the Crab Ghost King was taken away, the Ghost King Fort has become chaotic.Many ghosts have escaped, but there are also many powerful ghosts left behind.

But this time, Zhang Wei not only ordered Wu Qianpawn to recover Ghost King Fort, but also gave him the Hundred Ghosts Gathering Soul Banner to use.This treasure originally belonged to the Crab Ghost King was confiscated by Zhang Wei, and was lent to Wu Qianpawn after re-sacrificing.

Wu Qianzu now has a treasure in his hand and a ghost behind him, he is very energetic now!

Arrogant and high-spirited, I came to Ghost King Fort.He didn't talk nonsense, and the wild ghosts inside were not qualified to listen to him.

This kind of veteran only admires capable people, and he is also very arrogant.

With a wave of his hand, the Yin soldiers and ghost soldiers below rushed up, eight thousand well-trained Yin soldiers went straight to Huanglong, and the wild ghosts inside saw that the situation was not good, and ran away decisively.

But the former pawns will not let them run away. This kind of kid is also a kind of resource.

There are still some who want to resist stubbornly, but compared with the regular ghost soldiers, these wild ghosts are far insufficient in both strength and number.

Soon the Ghost King Castle was seized and occupied by Wu Qianpawn. He went in and walked around, especially when he saw those oil pans, knives and axes, he frowned and said: "These wild ghosts are really barbaric. Live by devouring your own kind."

He said to the ghost pawns under him: "Take all these things down for me!"

As regular ghost soldiers with sacrifices, they rely on incense to ensure their physical stability.Moreover, eating incense can not only maintain the stability of the soul and body, but also not damage one's spiritual intelligence, and even improve one's cultivation.

This is something that can only be found in serious sacrificial situations.Around Dagan, only a few slightly larger countries and organizations have this thing.

Of course, it is impossible for a wild force like Ghost King Castle to cultivate sacrifices and refine incense.

But the place of Ghost King Fort is still very good. It has a strong Yin Qi, which is similar to the atmosphere of the underworld. It is the best place to train ghost soldiers.

After he occupies this place, he will report to the City God of Suzhou Prefecture, and then let the Yinfu of Suzhou Prefecture come here to set up agencies, and completely include this place in the Yinfu of Suzhou Prefecture.

Unlike the Yang officials who receive the population yellow book, the Yin officials want to expand the underworld and let the underworld system cover the new underworld land.

In fact, this is a thankless thing.The calculation of land in the underworld is different from that in the underworld.What the land in Yangjian should look like is what it looks like, and it is rare to change in tens of thousands of years.

But the underworld is different, the land of the underworld is infinitely large, except that the great gods of the underworld system in various places are fixed by the great gods of the underworld system, and the other underworld lands are changing at any time.

To give a very simple example, next to Suzhou Mansion is Yinshan Mansion.In Yangjian, the two state capitals are connected together, the roads are also connected, the mountains, forests and water sources are connected, and it will not change for tens of thousands of years.

But in the underworld, the Yinfu of Suzhou Prefecture and the Yinfu of Yinshan Prefecture are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.It is almost impossible for a ghost to walk from the Yinfu of Suzhou Prefecture to the Yinfu of Yinshan Prefecture.Moreover, the distance between the two prefectures will change at any time, and the route will also change at any time.

Although Tianmen County and Guifang area in Yangjian are just two neighbors, but in the underworld, there is an unknown distance between them.

Therefore, it is useless to expand the land in the underworld. Only the land in the yang world is first developed, and the yin god system is established on the new site. The yin gods can enter the underworld of the new site through the road of the yang world!

After the Guifang Yinfu is established, there will be a new Yinshen to rule here. After this Yinfu is merged into the Yinfu system, relying on the Yinshen network, the Yinshen can use supernatural powers to communicate with each other, and this will solve the Yinfu. too far apart.

In the imperial court, the officials of the Ministry of Rites will also pardon the gods in the Guifang area again.

The mountains and rivers here are new mountains and rivers, the land here is new land, and the gods here are naturally new gods.

The emergence of a new place will naturally give birth to new immortals.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites will discuss with the officials of the Heavenly Court to determine the new location of the gods.

Central Heavenly Palace, in the Taiji Palace.

The lord of the Taiji Palace, True Monarch Taiji, is calling all the gods in the palace to discuss this matter.

"In the mortal world, Zhang Wei, the county magistrate of Tianmen County, opened up the territory and expanded the land, and newly acquired the ghost area boundary. In this boundary, a total of 56 gods of mountains, [-] gods of water, and no gods of the country can be counted."

He paused, and continued: "According to the usual practice, the God of Yin is appointed by the Lord of Mount Tai, the God of Sheji is appointed by the mortal emperor, and we are the gods of the movement of mountains and rivers. If you have any suggestions, please speak up."

The so-called God of Sheji refers to the gods who are pardoned and blessed by the imperial court to protect the people of one side. These gods are mostly held by dead ministers and celebrities, such as 'so-and-so', 'so-and-so' and the like.These people have contributed to the country, so they are naturally worshiped by the people of the Li people.

And mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, this kind of god in charge of nature, is the task of heaven.

The Taiji Hall is the palace directly under Emperor Ziwei, and the great god served is Emperor Ziwei, and Emperor Ziwei is the "Official Minister" of the Heavenly Court.

Of course, the area of ​​Guifang is not big, and the enshrined mountain god and water god will not be too high. Naturally, there is no need for the emperor to intervene in person, and Taiji Zhenjun, the "minister of the official department", can take care of it.

When the other gods in the Tai Chi Hall heard this, they all looked at each other.Emperor Ziwei looked down on the small gods, but these people valued them. There are a lot of unemployed gods in heaven, and they all want to work outside.

For these gods, they can only eat a fixed salary in the heaven. Although they are free, there is no oil and water.

But going to a specific position is different.Being a water god can control the water vapor of rivers and rivers. This water vapor can be extracted to produce heavy water and other materials, which can be sold for money or cultivated.

The same is true, as a mountain god, you can control all kinds of herbs, animals, and minerals in the mountain, which is also an income.

During this period of time, countless gods found acquaintances with gifts, just to find a fat job outside!

Therefore, the gods in the Taiji Temple are all chosen by someone in their hearts.

True Lord Taiji looked at the gods below, but none of them spoke, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Ten mountain gods need to arrange rotation gods, water gods need to arrange rotation gods, and the rest can be recommended."

The Supreme Master Taiji in the Heavenly Court is a decent person, and he could have recommended all the newly added priesthoods internally.But it's unfair to those gods who have nothing to do with it and don't leave the relationship.

But if they were all placed among the gods on duty, the gods under him would feel that their boss was impersonal.And everyone has a few relatives and friends to arrange, as the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.No matter how fair his Taiji True Monarch was, he once arranged for his nephew to serve in the palace.

Anyway, that's the thing, there must be justice, and private affairs must also be taken care of.More than half of the priesthood is given to the gods who line up for rotation, and the remaining half is recommended and digested internally, which is very good.

When True Monarch Tai Chi set a quota, all the gods spoke.

Wait until everyone compromises, discusses, and completes the employment arrangement like a transaction.Suddenly a god asked: "Zhenjun, why didn't the God of Tianmen Lake make any arrangements?"

When the other gods heard this, they all looked at the map, and then they discovered that there is actually a big lake near the border of Guifang Kingdom. If this lake is counted as us, it can create a great god!
