Chapter 527: Junior Brother, How Big Is Your Territory?

"Minister Ju, Minister Lu, and Imperial Censor Tian are also going to Junior Brother's waters?"

After destroying the Qin, Ming and Song dynasties, accepting the submission of the Han and Tang dynasties, and helping the Shang Dynasty to completely unify itself, Zhuge Qinglan followed Ji Ren. But before leaving, he discovered that Ji Ren was not the only one following him, but also Ju Wenqing, Lu Xianzhao, Tian Hao and other court officials.

This lineup is even bigger than he expected.

With the core team of the former crown prince plus the people in his prime minister's office, the quality of the civil and military officials under Ji Ren's command is slightly higher than those under the King of Wei.

After all, after the demise of the Yuan family, the four major families of the Great Qi Dynasty were the Zhuge family, the Xun family, the Lu family, and the Lu family.

And now, Ji Ren took away the three major families alone.

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. I don't want to follow the King of Wei. Since your majesty and the prime minister are going to the Zhenguogong Taoist temple, I will naturally follow them as well." Ju Wenqing said.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is the nephew-in-law of my Lu family. Naturally, my Lu family will follow the Duke of Zhenguo and obey his orders." Lu Xianzhao said with a smile.

The development of Da Qi deviated significantly from his plan.

According to his idea, after returning from Jiangnan, Zhang Jingshou's throne should be secure.

I just didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a road to immortality.

But, that's okay.

Although Zhang Jingshou is useless, Ji Ren is still so reliable.

He promised to give the Lu family a fairy island for them to settle down.

That fairy island is as big as the entire state of Da Qi.

If this were to be compared to the mortal world, the Lu family would have been granted titles and made marquises.

So Lu Xianzhao also accepted the arrangement with a smile.

"My son is now a disciple of the Chan sect. It is said that he will go to Guanjiangkou to meet the Duke of Zhenguo soon." Tian Hao said.

His only son Tian Zhi is now in the Chan sect. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not follow Ji Ren in the Shang Dynasty which is controlled by the Jie sect.

He has such a stubborn character, and even the King of Wei doesn't like him.

After all, the Tian family is not a joke in this regard, and offending superiors is no joke.

Zhuge Qinglan looked at the few people and frowned slightly. It all made sense, but Zhuge Qinglan had a hunch that Ji Ren called so many people because Ji Ren's territory required so many of them to handle, and it might not even be enough.

"Everyone is here, let's go."

Just then, Ji Ren, who had just finished chatting with Wei Yuanbo, floated over and said.

"Wait, Junior Brother, how big is the Haishui area? What should I do after I go there? I am just a mortal after all, and have never been a god." Zhuge Qinglan looked at Ji Ren and said.

"It's very simple. As the Lord of Water in the Hai Water Region, you have two main responsibilities. The first is to promote the increase in the number of living creatures in the water region, which is the same as increasing the population of a country in the mortal world. The second is to promote the strength of living creatures in the water region, cultivate more monks, and make the water region prosperous, which is the same as cultivating more scholars in the mortal world. So, in general, it is similar to the duties of grassroots officials in the mortal world. It is more than enough for senior brother to go, and it is like using a butcher knife to kill a fly." Ji Ren said with a smile.

Officials in the immortal world and officials in the mortal world are all officials.

Broadly speaking, the job responsibilities are the same.

Same way.

Looking at Ji Ren's expression, Zhuge Qinglan frowned slightly, and the ominous premonition became stronger.

"Okay, let's go, senior brother. I have seventy-two fairy islands in the Hai waters. You can pick any one you want." Ji Ren laughed, put his arm around Zhuge Qinglan's shoulder, and then set off directly to the fairyland.

Zhuge Qinglan wanted to say more, but looking at Ji Ren's actions, Zhuge Qinglan felt that it would be useless to ask. He could only comfort himself that his fellow disciples would never betray him.

The others didn't even notice it.

It was not until Zhuge Qinglan followed Ji Ren back to Guanjiangkou and had a good rest for a few days that he began to manage the Hai waters for Ji Ren and saw the number of living creatures in the Hai waters - 800 billion.

Everyone, including Emperor Qi, looked at Ji Ren in disbelief.

Is this what you mean, an easy, casual life?

The entire Da Qi has a population of only 400 million.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Among the 800 billion, many are unintelligent creatures. It's not that serious. We mainly manage those intelligent creatures, and there are various tribes in the ocean. In fact, we only need to manage their leaders. It's very easy." Ji Ren said with a smile.

"It's so simple, why don't you do it?" Zhuge Qinglan looked at Ji Ren and said. "Brother, I'm a military commander, you know, I'm brave but not wise." Ji Ren said with a distressed look on his face.

"Junior brother, you are too modest." Zhuge Qinglan looked straight at Ji Ren and said.

Are you brave but not wise?
You really have no conscience.

"When the water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes. Humility makes people progress. This is the Zhuge family motto, and I dare not forget it. Moreover, senior brother, this is actually a method of cultivation. In the past, the master had three thousand incarnations and read all the books in the Yuxu Library. Now, senior brother, you have learned the method of clones and can have ten clones to handle government affairs at the same time. When your cultivation level is improved in the future, you can still balance work and family. The clones can work, and the original body can accompany my sister-in-law under the moonlight." Ji Ren said with a smile.

"So, this is the reason why you taught all of us how to clone ourselves?" Zhuge Qinglan looked at Ji Ren with a bright smile on his face.

"No, this is to save the lives of all the elders. Really, believe me, the fairy world is very dangerous, so it is important to learn the method of splitting yourself. Hide your original body and don't move. Let your clone handle anything if there is any problem. You are all the most important people in my heart." Ji Ren looked at Zhuge Qinglan and said.

Really, these people are his treasures.

"Uh-huh."

Guan Yan on the side couldn't help but nod continuously, saying that he was right.

The Prime Minister and his family are her adoptive parents.

"Junior brother, come here." Zhuge Qinglan waved his hand.

"Here." Ji Ren walked over without any preparation, and then saw Zhuge Qinglan took out his sword and slashed at him.

"Oh my god, senior brother, you're going too far." Ji Ren screamed and dodged in a hurry.

"Excessive?"

Zhuge Qinglan sneered, is it too much for you to lie to me?
At that moment, the long sword hummed, and Zhuge Qinglan chased after him without any hesitation.

When the others saw this, even Lu Xianzhao took out his weapons.

Eight hundred billion lives, and they are left to take care of them?
Your conscience really doesn't hurt.

What about the retirement life you promised?

Each one of them is truly vicious and cruel.

Ji Ren was so frightened that his face turned pale and he fled in a hurry.

After a stalemate, Zhuge Qinglan and his men finally caught up with them, and were beaten severely, lying on the ground.

Zhuge Qinglan and the others left cursing.

Then, after a long time, Ji Rencai climbed out of the pit in a seemingly embarrassed manner, with a sad face. It was so tiring. He almost couldn't control the immortal power in his body just now. If he was not careful and couldn't control it, the immortal power would rebound and kill them. How could they come up with such workers?

Fortunately, however, the effort is worth it.

The senior brothers were still soft-hearted and were fooled.

Next, it’s stable.

Ruling an area of ​​water can gather the fortune of the area.

The development of the water area itself and the loyalty of the creatures all affect the strength of the luck.

To put it simply, it means not only conquering the land, but also governing these living creatures.

Ji Ren is good at the former, but he is not good at the latter, which is governance, and it is a waste of time.

Now that Zhuge Qinglan and the others have arrived, Ji Ren is free.

Ji Ren looked at the turtle sent from the South China Sea and thought that maybe because it was born too wealthy and lived too comfortably, it had good abilities and was not very defensive. Once his senior brothers became familiar with the conditions in the waters, they could kick it away and start managing the area themselves.

At that time, Ji Ren will fight in the front, and Zhuge Qinglan and others will guard the back.

Everyone has a good life.

The only problem is that the cultivation level of the brothers is not high, and they are not proficient in the use of the clone technique, so they cannot gather enough people.

When the Peach Festival begins, I will go to the Heavenly Palace and take a few more peaches. I will then squeeze them into juice and give them to my brothers and sisters to eat to prolong their lives.
