Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

"And our world can accommodate the highest level of cultivation, which is the pinnacle of the Grand Master, the second star."

"Further up, there are three-star, four-star, five-star, six-star, seven-star, eight-star, and nine-star worlds. There is the martial arts world similar to our world, as well as the immortal world, the world of science and technology, the world of magic, etc., up to the nine-star world. A strong person can live for countless years even if the world is destroyed but he will not be destroyed."

"If you want to reach a higher level, there are only two ways. One is to break through the world barrier yourself and enter a more powerful world."

"The other is to upgrade the world and become more powerful to accommodate existences with higher cultivation levels."

"The reason why I am so anxious to unify the world is because there is not only Yanhuang in this world."

"There is a continent in the Far West, and a civilized country that is not inferior to Yanhuang was born. Only by controlling the Western Region, Shendu, Far West and other countries, plus our unified world, can I complete the control of this world. This opens a passage to other worlds.”

"If there is a passage to other worlds, we can strengthen this world by plundering the people and things in that world."

"Do you understand now?"

"Ok!"

Xu Ziling and Fu Junma, who were stunned, came to their senses and nodded stiffly.

This information was so huge that they couldn't believe it, but with Kou Zhong's magical operations these days, it still made it easier for them to accept this fact than others.

"Actually, the three strongest masters in Dongtu are not the three."

"The strongest ones are Shi Zhixuan and Heavenly Sword Song Que. It can be said that they are only one step away from Shattered Void."

"This step has hindered many talented people."

"Not only do I have two volumes of Heavenly Demon Strategy that record the method of breaking the void, but I also have something they can't refuse."

"This is also my original intention to establish contact with the Song brothers and sisters and Shi Qingxuan."

"It's just that Song Yuhua's incident really exceeded my expectations. This eldest lady of the Song family is not a good person."

"She made up her mind the day she was massacred from Duzun Castle. She wanted to use my power to gain a strong foothold in this world..."

Kou Zhong revealed the truth about the only episode in this trip to Bashu.

"Young Master Zhong."

"You mean Song Yuhua has guessed it a long time ago and she is waiting for you?"

Xu Ziling looked at Kou Zhong with stern eyes. During this period, Xu Ziling also made rapid progress.

"Correct!"

"Is it possible that a dignified eldest lady of the Song family has been imprisoned in Duzun Castle for three years and no news can be spread?"

"Unless Song Yuhua doesn't want the news to get out."

With deep eyes, Kou Zhong said meaningfully.

"But why would she do that?"

Fu Junma's cold and pretty face showed a puzzled look.

Before Kou Zhong could speak, Xu Ziling answered: "Because she wants to take revenge on Song Que. She is not only angry about Duzunbao's audacity."

"I'm even more angry that Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, married the so-called sworn brother's son, Xie Wenlong, for the sake of the Song clan."

"Who is Jie Wenlong? He is a well-known playboy in Shu. He is one of the losers in the world. How can he win the favor of the eldest daughter of Song Que, the Heavenly Blade?"

"If Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, had not spoken, Jie Wenlong would never have touched a corner of Song Yuhua's Luo shirt in his entire life."

"Master Ling is right."

Kou Zhong's eyes of approval fell on Xu Ziling and added: "That's why this woman wants to seize the southwest through the identity of Chu Gong's wife, so as to win a capital for her to gain a foothold in Chu State, and I happen to be the best The level of advancement.”

"Of course I don't mind giving her a ride. Since someone is willing to contribute to conquering Southwest, why bother to stop her?"

"Hahaha!"

Speaking of this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and laughed heartily.

On the contrary, Fu Junma looked at the two brothers with surprise in her beautiful eyes. She was the one who witnessed Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling's transformation from lonely little beggars to the present. She was even more shocked by Shuanglong's growth. These were not two ordinary geniuses. This is a child of two worlds.

Even without the Chu State, Fu Junma believed that Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling could carve out a career for them in Jiangdong and in the world.

"That's right, Mr. Zhong!"

"The Su Lie, Xue Rengui, Xu Jingzong, and Di family members you told us about were all brought here."

"It's just that this Xue Rengui not only brought a family, but also brought eight sworn brothers, named Zhou Qing, Jiang Xingba, Jiang Xingben, Xue Xiantu, Wang Xinhe, Wang Xinxi, Li Qinghong, and Li Qingxian. I think everyone is qualified to serve as a military commander. Zhonglangjiang."

"I have not made any arrangements for them without authorization. I plan to wait until you come back to discuss them."

Reported by Xu Ziling.

"Ah."

Kou Zhong slightly understood.

It seems that this should be the Tang Dynasty that combines the worlds of many novels. Xue Rengui is the protagonist of many worlds, so there are eight leading forces appearing together.

Moreover, his son Xue Dingshan and his grandson Xue Gang are both the protagonists of the novel and have extraordinary qualifications.

"Come 5.4 people and prepare an edict!"

"I ordered Xu Jingzong to be the minister of Dali Temple, Di Xiaoxu to be the left minister of the household department, and Di Zhisun to be the governor of Bazhou."

"If the Di family is indeed talented, they will be appointed to various counties as local governors after being evaluated by the Ministry of Officials."

After waving his hand, Kou Zhong gave the order directly.

Di Xiaoxu is Di Renjie's grandfather, and Di Zhisun is Di Renjie's father. The family were all high-ranking officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties with outstanding talents.

This is why Kou Zhong did not hesitate to let Jin Yiwei poach people from Taiyuan County.

"Yes."

The servant of Duke Chu who came in from the side quickly recorded these words, and then issued an edict from the Duke's mansion.

"Master Ling."

"The official position arrangements for Su Lie, Xue Rengui and others will be dealt with after I think about it."

"You first take them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive exercises, martial arts skills, and custom-made magic weapons."

After pondering, Kou Zhong made such an arrangement.

"it is good."

Xu Ziling agreed happily, turned around and left the lobby.

After he left, Kou Zhong looked at Fu Junma and ordered: "The Jinyiwei has many more masters now. I have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give one-third of the golden chicken rice harvested every season to the Jinyiwei to train the Jinyiwei."

"Next, Jin Yiwei's main force will be on controlling Jiangdu, Luoyang, and Chang'an."

"I want you to know the three places thoroughly in the shortest possible time."

"Yes."

Fu Junma's eyes were solemn and she immediately accepted the order.

The three capitals of the Sui Dynasty were Luoyang, the eastern capital, Chang'an, and Jiangdu, the western capital.

None of these three places is easy to mess with. They are all battlefields for various forces to compete. If Jinyiwei wants to open up the situation, he will need to spend countless manpower and material resources. But she knows that if Chu wants to dominate the world faster, Jin Yiwei must take the first step.

Chapter 87: The foundation grows and the martial arts kingdom becomes more and more apparent!

Just when Xu Ziling and Fu Junma left Chu Gong's Mansion, two hurried figures broke in again.

When Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Du Ruhui, the minister of household affairs, saw Kou Zhong, it was as if they had seen a savior, and their eyes immediately shone with light.

"Your Highness, you are back!"

Chen Laomou had a sad face and quickly complained: "Help!"

"The Yulin Army, Yulin Army, Wei Xu Army, Jinwu Army, Zhenjiang Navy, that's 50 people."

"I can't build the Miao Dao, Iron Armor and Fine Scale Armor alone. I need more paddle boats."

"Thanks to the Longxiang Army, Yingyang Army, Hengbo Army, and Donghai Navy, we don't have to take responsibility. Otherwise, I would have to jump off the building."

"Your Highness."

"The household department won't be able to hold on anymore."

Du Ruhui, the Minister of Household Affairs, also said with a sad face.

"Forehead!"

Seeing the bitter and resentful expressions on the two men's faces, Kou Zhong was speechless.

In half a year, the Young Marshal's Army expanded from 5000 to 50, which was indeed difficult for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the armament of local state soldiers, county soldiers, and county soldiers does not require expenditures from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the responsibility of the Ministry of War, the Chu army needs the most advanced Miao knives, and their manufacturing process is more complicated than Hengdao.

Therefore, until now, the Chu army has not established more complex heavy armored infantry.

But he didn't quite understand why the Ministry of Household Affairs was in such hardship. Is the expenditure of the seven counties of Jiangzhou, plus Xuancheng County and Jiangxia County, so high?

"You guys talk one by one first."

"Mr. Chen, let's start with the problems encountered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes."

Chen Laomou, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, quickly reported: "Young Marshal."

"We have enough manpower now, but the problem is that forging weapons requires a lot of high-quality steel."

"The production capacity of the steel filling method is far unable to keep up with our current military expansion needs."

"In addition, in terms of war horses, based on the configuration of one person and two horses, the Sima Superintendent can supply up to [-] cavalry."

heard.

Kou Zhong understood somewhat.

The Chu army was different from the Sui army. The Chu army required that all armor should be forged from the best hundred-refined steel.

Common three-edged spears, Miao knives, throwing spears, bows and arrows, and most of the Chu army began to equip iron armor, and leather armor has been gradually replaced by local garrison soldiers.

　11 According to this demand, the Chu army needs at least several times or even more steel than the Sui army.

Although the previous Pegasus Ranch had more than [-] horses, in fact, there were not many qualified war horses. Forty thousand horses was already the limit. If the number of horses was continued, it might affect the number of stallions and deplete the harvest.

"I know about this matter and I will deal with it."

"Let the Yulin Guards and Yulin Guards prepare the cavalry first."

"Order Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Luo Shixin to be transferred to the Yulin Army, and Hou Junji, Shi Danai, and Sheng Yan to be transferred to the Jinwu Army."

"The Yulin Army can go north to Jingling, and together with the Yulin Army, we will wait for the dispatches of Hou's military advisor and Xu Shenjun."

"The Wei Xu Army was stationed in Poyang, the Jin Wu Army was transferred to Jiangxia, and the cavalry quota in the two armies was replaced by heavy armored infantry."

"Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs to prepare an additional 20 troops for both armies, which will be needed soon."

"Yes."

Hearing this, the head of the Internal Affairs Office relaxed for a moment.

With Kou Zhong's guarantee, there will be no shortage of steel, and there will be no problem in building armor.

He believed that Kou Zhong could come up with better ways to refine more refined steel.

"Your Highness!"

After Chen Laomou responded, Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, immediately said: "One state has been added to the country."

"The 150 million people in the six counties of Minzhou need to provide grain for a year, as well as a large number of cattle and farm tools."

"Although these are purchased by the people themselves, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to advance them on their behalf and repay them three years later."

"In addition to carrying [-] officers and soldiers, Mu Renzhong of Yizhou also recruited a large number of sailors, craftsmen and people from the coast."

"They also need a lot of grain, farm tools, and cattle."

"As of now, the national treasury has spent two-thirds of its deposits. If there is no further income, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive until the second half of the year."

"There is no need to rush this matter."

Facing Du Ruhui's gaze, Kou Zhong waved his hand and said, "Bashu has been leveled, and there is a large amount of gold and silver in Duzun Fort, which is being escorted back home."
