Half-demon Raising Immortals

Chapter 597 Dragon King
"Commendation order."

"At the beginning of the Zhang Kingdom... open up ten acres of wasteland, tax exemption for three years; open up a hundred acres of wasteland, you can be the head of the field; open up a thousand acres of wasteland, you can be the head of the village..."

"Anyone who pioneers wasteland will be given the title 'close to the people'."

Outside the east gate, a group of people gathered around the notice.

After one person finished reading, someone asked loudly: "What is being close to the people?"

Others also looked confused.

"Stupid, I don't even know this!"

The crowd looked around.

A middle-aged man scanned around, pondered for a while, and said, "There is a difference between relatives and estrangements. Some are close to the people, and some are not close. It means that if you go to open up wasteland, you will be your own people in the future."

"Why don't you go?"

"Not going? Who dare not go, stand up and let everyone see."

After a moment of silence, a group of noisy voices sounded:

"I still have a storefront at home, and I have to find space to urinate, so I don't have the time to open up wasteland outside."

"that is!"

"Open up wasteland and have no cash, what are the snacks and drinks for an old family..."

"okay."

The middle-aged man pressed his hand a few times, and said: "If you don't have time, hire someone. Those who are rich will contribute money, and those who are capable will contribute. Everyone is close to the people of the king."

"What do you do if you have no money and no energy?"

above the notice.

There is a tower on the city wall, and Lu Tong and Mrs. Nine are standing in the tower.

Madame Nine frowned slightly when she heard the voice outside, and said, "Why did the commendation order become like this? It's not about encouraging people to reclaim wasteland, and competing for land with several big families. How did it become an order that we have to go?"

Lu Tong was silent.

This notice is his handwriting.

The financial resources of Xu, Pang, Baili and other families are terrific, and Daoist Si Cong is powerless to contend.

His original intention was to draw nearly a million people from the Zhang Kingdom, especially the wealthy households with surplus wealth, to reclaim wasteland together and compete with the major families.

It's just that when things landed, they turned out to be like this.

The crowd kept coming and going.

Waves of people have seen it, and in the end, without exception, there are few people who care about reclaiming wasteland, and many people discuss "the difference between closeness and estrangement".

Lu Tong shook his head and said, "Let's go, things here are a bit troublesome."

The Great Hall in the Heart of the Lake.

The empty hall was filled with screens.

On some of the screens, the surnames of Xu, Pang, and Baili are written on the top, and the business, property, and important clan members of each family are written on the bottom.

Seventeen families occupy a large area of ​​land and rivers, and firmly control the food and drink, pills, refining tools, commerce, etc. of the Zhang Kingdom.

Lu Tong stood in front of the screen.

Mrs. Nine poured two cups of tea, walked to the side and handed over a cup, said: "Sicong is the lord of the country, he occupies the righteousness, can you find an excuse to search the house?"

Lu Tong took the teacup and shook his head slowly.

Can't move, can't move.

Seventeen families, each with its own background.Moreover, most of them have been entrenched in Yunying City for hundreds of years, and they are inextricably linked with each other through marriage, competition, and cooperation. If one moves, the others will definitely notice.

Not long after the establishment of the Zhang Kingdom, it is adjacent to the two countries of Pan and Chi. Once the internal ghosts get in touch with the external thieves, the Zhang Kingdom may perish.

"Hey."

He sighed, drank the tea in one gulp, and said: "Don't move, the king is just a hypocrite. Move, we are both in the Zhang Kingdom, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, the future is unpredictable."

"The Kingdom of Zhang has just been established, so why should Daoist Si Cong rush to take action against his own people? In my opinion, it is better to seal all these patriarchs and turn them into our own people, so that we can fight against the enemy country together."

Madam Nine was a little puzzled.

Lu Tong looked at the other screens and said, "It's different."

Mrs. Ninth still doesn't understand the difference between countries and sects. She still thinks that as before, each family can replace the head of the country and manage everything in the country.

As everyone knows, the country is only owned by the owner of the country.

He looked at a few familiar words, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "The Zhen family, where is Zhen Yi?"

The Zhen family used to be a family under Jing Xin's command.

Back then, a young master of the Zhen family died because of the worry-free fairy ship's gambling.Later, Jing Xin intends to match Lu Tong and Zhen Yi, he protects the Zhen family, and the Zhen family supports him in his practice.

Decades have passed, but Zhen Yi, who was valued very much back then, is not seen among the core clan members.

Madam Nine took out a pen, went over to circle a name, and said, "Zhen Yuan, the current Patriarch, the son of Zhen Yi."

"son?"

Lu Tong grinned, shook his head, and said: "It seems that the Zhen family has changed a lot, help me make an appointment with Zhen Yuan, and find out what they say."

"it is good."

……

The nine-story wooden building, the top floor was burnt to ruins by the Ninth Lady.

Eighth floor.

In the hall, Lu Tong sat cross-legged behind a long chair.

A young man in a large robe was brought in, glanced left and right, walked quickly to the side, cupped his hands and said, "Junior Zhen Yuan, pay respects to Master Uncle!"

Lu Tong sized it up and said, "The Zhen family still remembers me?"

"Before coming here, my mother made a special trip to entrust the younger generation. I have been busy recently, I didn't know that my uncle was here, and I didn't come to pay a visit. Please forgive my sin."

Lu Tong smiled, but didn't take the polite words to heart.

There were no dragons in Yunying City before, and every time they entered and exited the inner city in the past three months, many people would stop and watch.

He did not deliberately conceal his identity.

Long, Lutong, Guru, Qizong...

With the status of the Zhen family, one only needs to inquire about it a little bit to know the ins and outs.

"Sit down and talk."

"Yes."

Zhen Yuan sat down a long row behind.

Lu Tong took a sip from his teacup, and said, "I heard that the Zhen family is now in the business of medicine for monsters and beasts?"

"Correct."

Zhen Yuan's expression was very serious, and he was also very defensive, so he responded without saying anything.

Lu Tong drooped his eyelids.

The details of the Zhen family are already known.

After Jing Xin left that year, the Zhen family had no backer, and went downhill for decades.Until the Hukou Pass was closed, pills, fodder, blood food, etc. from other places could not be transported.

The Zhen family made a decisive decision, bought a heritage of raising monsters at a huge price, and gained a new backer. Only then did the situation turn around, and now it is even further than it was in its heyday.

"I heard that you hired a lot of people to open up wasteland outside?"

"good."

Lu Tong stared at Zhen Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Opening up wasteland is a major matter of the Zhang Kingdom. You are working so hard, do you want to take this opportunity to seek refuge with the lord?"

Zhen Yuan's face changed slightly.

Lu Tong said again: "If you guys have this intention, I can help introduce you."

Zhen Yuan thought about it, and said cautiously: "Uncle, the Zhen family dare not interfere in state affairs. The land reclamation is only to plant a few acres of velvet grass, which is used to refine grass and grass pills for cattle and sheep."

"That's it."

Lu Tong nodded, raised his hand and said, "Drink tea."

"Yes."

Zhen Yuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it back to its original place.

After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Tong said, "I heard that you have taken refuge in the sect of a Nascent Soul, where is that person now?"

"Uncle Hui, senior Qian Lianglang is now in the 'Douge', guarding the Kingdom of Zhang."

Jindou Tower is located in Baizhu Mountain.

Nearly [-]% of the disciples of the Yiye Sect in the Zhang Kingdom are in Jindoulou, led by Daoist Sicong himself.

Lu Tong blinked his eyes and said, "It's a good thing. All the Zhang Kingdom belongs to the lord, and even Daoist Qian is working for the lord. This is a great thing."

"Yes Yes."

Zhen Yuan agreed, but felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Lu Tong continued to point out, saying: "No matter how big the Zhang Kingdom is, it cannot be bigger than the ruler. Now that the Zhang Kingdom has just been established, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, it is time to employ people. If the Zhen family can relieve the worries of the ruler, why not worry about the family fortune?" prosper?"

"Uncle Master is right."

Zhen Yuan took a careful look at Lu Tong, and quickly recovered his expression.

Lu Tong smiled and didn't say any more, and said: "Time flies, and it has been decades. There are not many acquaintances in Yunying City. Go back and tell your mother, if you have nothing to do, you can often come to Canxiang Tower."

"Yes."

"Go, I won't see you off."

"Take care, uncle, the junior will leave first."

Zhen Yuan left the wooden building.

Madam Nine came up from downstairs and asked, "How is it?"

"The intention of soliciting has been made clear, let him go back and discuss with the people in the clan."

"I think Zhen Yuan is quite wary."

Lu Tong smiled and said: "The Zhen family has experienced great ups and downs these years. If you don't be careful, you won't be able to make it to where you are today. Give him time and let them have a good discussion."

……

Under the scorching sun, outside Baizhu Mountain, there is a vigorous scene of all things competing for development.

The uneven wasteland has been reclaimed and turned into a continuous field. A figure is cultivating soil and fertilizing the fields, preparing to start planting.

Turn barren land into fertile fields, wild mountains into medicine gardens, streams and rivers into fish ponds...

One of the bare stone hills.

Lutong hangs on the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain not far away, there are many large and small stones dug out from the wasteland.

"right here."

"here?"

Mrs. Ninth looked around, and all she could see were piles of rocks and uncultivated fields, and said, "Was the magnificent Baizhan Building in the Kingdom of Zhang built in this kind of place?"

Lu Tong shook his head and said: "It's not a building, this mountain and these piles of rocks are Baizhan Tower."

Baizhan Tower.

At his suggestion, Zhangguo newly established a place to teach boxing and kicking, and Master Si Cong took out more than a dozen books of the method, as well as the art of boxing and kicking.

Madam Nine looked puzzled, seeing that there was no one else around, she asked, "I don't understand, since it's targeting those big families, why bother to teach these people martial arts?"

Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the busy figures in the distance, and said: "We alone, even if you add Master Si Cong, are not the opponents of those people."

Under the scorching sun, many shirtless young people are digging stones, weeds, and ditches together...

Land reclamation is extremely bitter.

The old people can't stand it, and once they survive it, most of them won't live long. Nine out of ten people who come out to open up wasteland are young and middle-aged.

Madam Nine followed her eyes and said, "You count on them?"

"Ah."

Lu Tong nodded.

Ninth Lady shook her head and said: "If these people are reliable, they will not be reduced to come out to open up wasteland."

"It's unreliable now, so I have to help them. Go ahead and send someone to release the news. I am here to teach fists, kicks and swords every day. If you want to learn, just come here."

Lu Tong looked very calm.

The big family trees have deep roots, there are people, money, and backers, and it is very difficult to bring them down.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to block, pull, and support.

block.

As soon as the commendation order came out, although it was different from the original intention, it quickly achieved results.

Many wealthy households had no intention of opening up wasteland, but later they fell in love with the field chiefs and village chiefs, and they took action one after another. After accumulating a small amount, they gained a lot of power.

In addition, wages have soared, and the momentum of the major families to open up wasteland has dropped a lot.

pull.

Win over the Zhen family and other families.There is no result yet, but this matter is not rushed for a while, fighting and pulling at the same time, if the fight is good, it will be easy to win later.

help.

Moving down the various families will inevitably lead to a head-on confrontation.With only one person, it is inevitable that there will be no way to support them alone. He is going to use the Baizhan Building to support some people.

Poor, young, powerful...

Hundreds or thousands of such people gather together, and the most indispensable thing is ambition. At that time, there is no need to encourage, and people will naturally fight, rob, and bump their heads.

Madam Nine nodded in response, and after a little hesitation, said: "Where is Ding Chu? He promulgated a new law, and Master Si Cong personally came forward to help him, and his actions were far greater than ours."

"Don't bother."

Lu Tong narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The law is only called the law if it works well. If it doesn't work, it's just a pile of waste paper."

In the past six months, he has prepared a total of three moves, either explicitly or secretly.

And Ding Chu was silent for half a year, and when he came forward, he made a killer move - "Stick Method".

The law is very strict.

There are a total of 870 four articles, ranging from voyeurism to treason, and everything in between.

Under the "Stand Law", all people are treated equally, it seems that the four sharp knives of 870 hang over everyone's head, including the children of those families.

Lu Tong vaguely guessed.

This is only the first step, and the promulgation of the "Stand Law" is only to prepare for the following actions.

……

The sun goes down.

It was pitch black outside Baizhu Mountain, and hundreds of torches were connected into lines of fire, all heading in the same direction.

At the end of the line of fire, clusters of fires were burning among the rubble, illuminating a bare stone hill red.Up and down the hill, there is nothing but stones, only dozens of writings of different sizes scattered randomly on the surface of the stones——

Baizhan Tower.

Lu Tong stood on the top of the mountain, watching a figure approaching.

Hundreds of people form a group, thousands of people form a mountain, and ten thousand people form a sea. Under the firelight, the heads of each person are connected together, like a black lake.

"Meet the Dragon King!"

A person suddenly shouted.

Thousands of people shouted together afterwards: "Meet the Dragon King!"

The strong can be king.

Most of the monks hide their fronts, use obscurity but are clear, and very few claim to be kings.Usually only wild monsters occupying the barren hills would call themselves kings.

These people were born in poverty, had no education, and did not understand the considerations of monks. The most respectful title they knew was "Dragon King".

The person who shouted didn't have extra thoughts.

Those who listened trembled.

Lu Tong suddenly opened his eyes, and the billowing flames came into view, as if a glaring flame was born in his eyes.

Dragon King, very good.

It's just...it's too early.

He closed his eyes, suppressed the glare in his eyes, and said: "You have made great contributions to opening up the country for the country!"

The sound was like muffled thunder, exploding everywhere.

Thousands of people were instantly refreshed.

Lu Tong continued: "The main body of the country sympathizes with you, and today I bestow a pool of spiritual liquid called 'Hundred War Water'."

Several large tripods were placed on the rocks.

The tripod is filled with boiling water, herbs, and a drop of blood spirit.

Lu Tong took a step, turned into more than sixty feet, and waved up the spiritual liquid in the cauldron.

"Open your mouth!"

Mouths opened.

He summoned up his mana, and threw out drops of hot liquid the size of peanuts.

"hiss!"

"what……"

Amidst all kinds of painful cries, one person after another closed their mouths, then raised their heads and swung their arms with blushing faces. In an instant, all the fatigue of the day dissipated, and their bodies were full of strength again.

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Thank you Dragon King!"

"Thank you Dragon King..."

The roar continued.

Lu Tong returned to the top of the mountain, stood up, and slowly swung a punch, countless thunderbolts rolled and turned into a sky-shattering fist mark.

"Today, pass on "Invading Heaven Fist"!"
