Chapter 339 Conclusion of Cause and Effect

One year later, Tiandu.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the entire territory of Dakang has been controlled by our army!" In the Chaotian Palace, the officials bowed to Lu Xuan.

The success of the Kang Dynasty's battle had long been expected, but from the official dispatch of troops to stabilizing the entire territory, it was not just as simple as capturing the city. What really surprised the officials was the speed of absorbing Dakang. Now the system construction of Dakang has basically been completed. Although there are obstacles for officials from various places to take office, in the face of the overwhelming trend, local forces can only choose to retreat.

As for what they were thinking, the ministers could probably guess it, but the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty has such strong control over local areas is that the Ming Dynasty's productivity has greatly improved, which disintegrated the economy that was dominated by small farmers in the past, resulting in the local clan power Fundamentally dismantled.

When individuals no longer need to rely on their families for survival, young people are naturally unwilling to follow those cumbersome clan rules. This is also the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty has far more control over the grassroots than in previous generations. It is not that the system is more advanced than before.

Lu Xuan nodded: "This great victory is the result of the officers and the power of the officials. Rewards for meritorious service will be issued immediately. Don't let the hearts of the officers and men in the army be chilled."

"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers bowed.

"Now that the Kang Dynasty has entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, how will it develop in the future? Dear friends, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Xuan asked. Controlling is only the first step. The territory of the Kang Dynasty is as vast as that of Kyushu, but its population is less than half of the Ming Dynasty. It is weaker than the Ming Dynasty. Even the great cadres at that time were not as good as before. This problem needs to be solved by itself.

"Your Majesty!" Li Xingzhi stepped out and signaled the palace guards to open a projection and said: "Previously, when the princes discussed sending troops, they discussed the terrain of the Kang Dynasty. Today, I want to discuss the terrain with you. There is only one Kang River in Dakang, a tributary. Few of them can reach the sea, and the population distribution of the Kang Dynasty is therefore far less uniform than that of Kyushu. I believe that if we want to develop people's livelihood here, we must first connect the water of the Kang River to the East China Sea."

"Your Majesty, although the Prime Minister's plan is good, if the Kang River can be opened, it will benefit all generations. However, the Kang State has been newly established, and I think it is the time to be kind to the people. If the river is dug at this time, it will cause resentment among the people, and the river If the excavation is to be successful, it will take at least three thousand miles to dig the river channel alone, and it will also need to be supplemented by tributaries. The consumption is so huge that even with the wealth of our country, it is difficult to do it. I hope your majesty will be careful." An official. Get out of the queue and frown.

In fact, he is not too worried about government affairs. Ming Dynasty is basically stable and making little progress in a good direction.

For him now, improving his own strength is the key. In addition, compared to these, he wants to know whether the Nanhua who is taking his Blood God Son avatar to the Buddha Kingdom is the first grade?

In the Buddhist country, the former Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect has now become an inanimate monastery.

After the female ghost arrived here, she could clearly feel uncomfortable. Many novices looked here curiously, which also made the female ghost feel a little embarrassed. She felt too depressed here, as if she might suffocate at any time.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanrou paused and said: "If these conditions can be met, a hundred years will be enough. But if they cannot be met, unless there is a great change in the world, or sea water is extradited from Daguang or Xingchao, otherwise not to mention a hundred years, a thousand years will be enough." impossible!"

"If it takes a hundred years..." Mr. Chen thought for a moment and then said: "I don't know how to supervise the construction, but if it takes a hundred years, this matter will indeed benefit the country and the people!"

The governance of the newly acquired Dakang land needs to be adjusted, and the original regional divisions of Dakang must be unified with those of the Ming Dynasty. However, this matter cannot be rushed, and people must have a process of acceptance. Moreover, the population layout of Kangdi is relatively dense, so it needs First set aside some prefectures and establish counties, and then implement them slowly. For Lu Xuan today, the most lacking thing is time, and the most indispensable thing is time.

Except for the ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the rest of the ministers did not know much about this matter and could not speak. However, adding a new god is not a trivial matter. The Ming Dynasty's moral requirements for gods are many times more stringent than those of officials. Nowadays, coastal aquatic tribes, mountain spirits and monsters everywhere They are all actively doing good deeds in order to one day be canonized by the imperial court. This time they have to fill a large number of divine positions in the Kang Dynasty, and these monsters are afraid that they will take over them.

Seeing the confused expressions on the ministers' faces, Zhang Yuanrou explained: "Let's put it this way, if we just dig a river channel leading to the East China Sea, with the current equipment of the Ministry of Industry, it can be dug in ten years, but at most half a year, the river channel will dry up. Not to mention nourishing the earth, the original fields of the Cam River will be abandoned due to the massive loss of water sources. By then, most of the Kang country will have become a dead land. If you want to maintain a stable flow of water, you will need countless water sources to irrigate the river. , and at the same time, the rainfall in Kang State must be guaranteed to reach a certain value every year, which means that the water god in Kang State must be enough. Based on the water volume data measured by the Ministry of Industry in various parts of Kang State in recent years, it is simply not enough to support a big river!"

The court meeting lasted until the afternoon and Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he returned to the palace.

Lu Xuan nodded and said: "This matter can be discussed with the Water God Guang Qing. Now that the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory by thousands of miles, it is time to add new gods."

Lu Xuan nodded and looked at Zhang Yuanrou: "Zhang Shangshu, if it takes a hundred years to build this river, is it possible?"

Zhang Yuanrou stared at the map of mountains and rivers of the Kang Dynasty and said: "To build this river, it is not just about digging the river channel. The Jinjiang Yunhe River can be formed by absorbing water from hundreds of rivers. The river channel is easy to dig, but if it wants to become a big river, it must be diverted." Where the water from hundreds of rivers will be diverted from, and whether it will damage the local veins, all need to be considered."

"What Mr. Chen said is true, but I didn't say that we should implement this matter immediately. It's just that to make the Kang Dynasty prosperous, it must be supported by big rivers like Jinjiang and Yunhe. Kanghe is not enough to support too many people, but this matter is also There is no need to rush, we can plan for a hundred years. Master Chen, is it feasible to build this river in a hundred years?" Li Xingzhi asked.

Lu Xuan stood aside quietly, waiting for the next development.

In the quiet room, Wu Sheng retracted his spiritual thoughts and looked at Nan Hua: "It is indeed the power of reincarnation, and combined with Jueyin's destiny, he may be the person that the emperor couldn't ask for. He may really be able to compete with Teacher Di Tian. .”

"In this way, we can't let him be tainted with human destiny." Nan Hua nodded. "What are you going to do with this son, Brother Dao?" Wu Sheng asked curiously.

"If you and I want to fight against Di Tian, ​​we can't do it with our own strength, so I want to use this son to lead to the tunnel." Nanhua said this, looking at Wu Sheng and said: "But this son has a strange destiny. If I can lead to the tunnel, He must be someone who can stand up to Di Tian, ​​but how do you know he is not the second Di Tian?"

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to seize the body?" Wu Sheng asked curiously.

"Such a special fate is rare in thousands of years. If I take away the body, I'm afraid the fate will also change accordingly." Nan Hua looked at Wu Sheng and said, "Is this why I came to find you?"

"Fellow Taoist, you want to... want my Buddha bone relic?" Wu Sheng frowned.

The Buddha's bone relic was refined using special techniques after the death of the Buddha. It is a special magic weapon. After being fused with it, it will become the worshiper's followers, which is equivalent to an external clone of the owner of the Buddha's bone relic.

The reason why there are so many masters of Buddhism is because there are a large number of relics cultivated by predecessors. However, ordinary relics do not have such a strong effect. At most, people are naturally close to Buddhism. Moreover, this kind of power that comes out of thin air is not without its drawbacks. The owner of the relics had almost no strength during his lifetime. This is the upper limit of users.

"If fellow Taoists can get the help of Buddha's bone relics, they can indeed obtain this son's blessing, but what good will this do to the poor monk?" Wu Sheng asked with a smile.

He now has a Taoist lineage and good luck. If he uses the Buddha's bone relics to transform this son, at most it will just give him a good fighter in the future. If he wants to maximize the effect of this absolute destiny and the power of reincarnation, It can only be used by Nanhua, who has lost his orthodoxy and lost his luck to come to help. Not only does this matter have nothing to do with him, but he also has to lose a magic weapon like the Buddha's bone relic. How could Wu Sheng be willing?

"If it succeeds, you and I will control the tunnel together!" Nan Hua seemed to have absolute confidence in whether the Buddha's bone relics could control this child.

Wu Sheng said with a smile: "How about the poor monks disbanding the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and letting the poor monks use the Buddha's bones and relics. When the earth is born one day, how about the poor monks and fellow Taoists take charge of the earth together?"

They did not dare to make the Heavenly Oath. Once they made it, Ditian would probably know about it, but it was obvious that the two of them could not trust each other.

Nan Hua frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously unwilling.

Seeing this, Wu Sheng smiled and said: "The young monk has a method that can make both Taoist friends and young monks gain something."

"Oh?" Nan Hua looked at Wu Sheng.

"Fellow Taoist knows that what I practice is the law of cause and effect. If you are willing to establish the law of cause and effect with the young monk, it would be okay to hand over the Buddha's bone relics to your fellow Taoist." Wu Sheng looked at Nan Hua and said with a smile.

The law of cause and effect is a bonus of the seven karma positions that Emperor Tian promised them back then. It includes the seven laws of heaven and earth. The law of cause and effect is weird and unpredictable. Once established, although it is not something endorsed by heaven like the oath of heaven, if If it is violated, the other party can directly exchange the law of cause for something of equivalent value, which can be cultivation, talent, or even longevity.

Once this causal line is established with the other party, he must fulfill today's promise, otherwise even if this kid really becomes an authentic supreme being in the future, under the law of cause and effect, if he breaks his promise, the price will be unbearable.

Nan Hua looked at Wu Sheng and said nothing about trust issues. None of them were considered good people. The meeting today was for profit. If necessary in the future, the confrontation could be foreseen.

But this matter is related to the truth and their future path. It seems that this is the only way to trust each other.

As for why Wu Sheng doesn't directly follow the reincarnation and Jueyin fate pattern to conclude cause and effect, it's just because this law of cause and effect is also one of the main laws of heaven. Although it is not a way that Emperor Tian is proficient in, Emperor Tian controls the way of heaven. As long as cause and effect is concluded here, then Emperor Tian They can directly mobilize the authority of heaven and follow the line of cause and effect to directly find the existence of the fate of reincarnation, and then they will have nothing.

The cause and effect established by both parties has nothing to do with the fate of reincarnation, but is related to the cause and effect of the Buddha's bone relics. If Nanhua does not return it at that time, the cause and effect of Wusheng will also be related to the Buddha's bone relics.

"Okay!" Nan Hua nodded after thinking for a moment.

"good!"
