Chapter 642: Explosive bonuses and good news for Liusu!

Winter in the summer dynasties is always so cold, no matter in the north or in the sunny southern wilderness. Winter comes, the world is frozen, snow covers the mountains and rivers, there are no people living for thousands of miles, and birds and beasts hibernate.

Five years ago, the winter in Xiguo was always the most difficult, with people freezing to death on the road and starving people at home. But today, the lives of the people of Xiguo have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although the fifteenth year of the Gregorian calendar was a troubled year with constant disasters, the people of Xidu lived a good life and had a solid foundation to withstand the hardships.

Especially in Xidu, Chishui, and Licheng, the three major cities that Yao Yun has operated for the longest time, the living conditions of the people are better than those of the wealthy families in the Middle Earth.

In the past, the people of the Four Wilderness Kingdoms envied the people of the Middle-earth Kingdom, but now, the people of the Middle-earth Kingdom who suffered the disaster envied the people of the Xi Kingdom. Many merchants from the Middle-earth Kingdoms stayed in Xidu to spend the winter today and got to know the people of the Xi Kingdom.

Life is really a surprise.

In winter, people in Xidu have abundant granaries in their homes, and there is no shortage of pork, beef, mutton, and fish. Many people still have spare money to buy warm clothes for their families. Due to the developed commerce in Xiguo, there is an abundance of supplies.

, high quality and low price, there is no shortage of ceramic utensils and wooden furniture in people's homes.

Although it can't be called a home of bells and pans, life can be considered happy and contented, even for the people of the imperial capital.

This scene made merchants from all over the country feel quite emotional, and they deeply respected Xiguo, a prosperous capital built in a wild land.

Of course, this scene is limited to Xidu, Chishui, Licheng and other wealthy places where Xi Kingdom has been operating for many years, Guanling, Baima and the Mo Kingdom that have just been conquered. Life for the people of Shanyuan and Shanyuan is not so easy.

.

For this reason, Yao Yun, Sun Muyue and all the officials of the Xi Kingdom worked hard for a while before winter, allocating the remaining grains in the treasury to poor areas to provide work for relief, helping the hungry and starting to build cities at the same time.

The people of this world are relatively easy to be satisfied, especially the vast number of poor people and slaves. Yao Yun allocated a large amount of food to the marquis. The people of the original Mo Kingdom and Shanyuan soon had a sense of identity with the Xi Kingdom and were grateful to Yao Yun, the king.

.

This is not because Yao Yun is self-respecting, or because Xi Li said nice things to deceive the king.

After Yao Yun deployed a large amount of grain and sent it to various parts of the Xi Kingdom, the people of Mo and Shanyuan quickly returned to their hearts and recognized the rule of the Xi Kingdom, and the power of spiritual thoughts came pouring in. This is the most favorable proof.

The more food is allocated, the telekinesis power of living beings will skyrocket.

In just one month, the power of luck that Yao Yun gained from it could be converted into nearly 100,000 luck beads.

This does not include the telekinesis power born from the native people of Xi Kingdom. Every winter, when the country is in good condition and the people live happily, it is also a good time to harvest a large amount of telekinesis power.

In these days, tens of thousands of creatures have been born in the Xi Kingdom.

This caused Yao Yun's life force, which had bottomed out, to skyrocket again, reaching a level of two hundred thousand.

Yao Yun was naturally overjoyed about this.

However, after various comparisons, he also discovered a problem.

That is, the growth of the mental power of the creatures born by the people of Xidu is not as good as before. Although there is an increase, the growth rate is much slower.

On the contrary, in the territories newly managed by the Xi Kingdom, the growth rate of the mental power of living beings is extremely alarming, especially for the people of Baima, Qingyuan City, and Chishui, the growth rate is gratifying.

This phenomenon is quite interesting, and it is difficult to satisfy people's hearts.

Facts have proven that it is no longer cost-effective to invest additional money in Xidu. The best choice is to allow it to flourish procyclically and develop freely without the need for additional care.

Next, Xiguo's focus will be on developing and operating the newly acquired territory.

The most ideal situation is to support other developed cities in Xi Kingdom, so that more people in Xi Kingdom can live a more prosperous life, make overall plans, balance each region, and achieve all-round development.

In this way, not only did the Xi Kingdom develop in a balanced and comprehensive manner, and its foundation became more solid, but Yao Yun himself also benefited immensely, and the power of sentient beings came pouring in.

In this regard, Yao Yun, the second elder, and Sun Muyue have already planned. In the coming spring, the newly occupied areas will first carry out comprehensive land reform, so that the common people will have "land to the tillers" and slaves will have hope for promotion.

If the two sets of combined punches continue like this, the living soul beads will inevitably increase sharply again.

In winter, in addition to making national policy plans for the coming year, the most important thing is to practice.

After a whole year of busy work, the cold winter is the best time for cultivation. You don’t have to go out or be bothered by trivial matters. You can just concentrate on cultivation and your cultivation will gradually increase!

During this winter, Yao Yun's practice of [Lingshan Shaman Code] went a step further, and his mental power broke through to the late stage of the third-level Fengbo realm, and his strength increased a lot.

However, Yao Yun's greatest reliance now does not lie in his spiritual cultivation, but in Chi You's unique magical power [Ten Thousand Soldiers Return to the Sect].

After refining the top-notch magical weapons [Green Dragon Sword] and [Mountain-Suppressing Halberd] provided by Shanyuan Kingdom, although Yao Yun's cultivation level is only at the late third level, his actual combat power exceeds that of his first retainer Cang Man, reaching a hundred miles.

The peak of the fourth-grade feudal lord realm, half the level of a fifth-grade strong man.

Yao Yun was excited about this for three days, but unfortunately, after only three days of excitement, Bailihuang broke through, from the fourth-level Fengbo realm to the fifth-level Fenggong realm in one fell swoop.

On that day, Xidu was full of vitality and was quite spectacular, triggering heated discussions between the DPRK and the Central Government.

Bailihuang's breakthrough to the fifth level means that he has secured the position of commander-in-chief of the "Fifth-level elite division [Phoenix Division]". As soon as spring begins, he will receive orders to start comprehensive training to cultivate the fifth-level elite division.

.

Xu Shiyou's birth of the national dividend [Qi Yun Tang], and inspired by Baili Huang, a frenzy of Qi refining practice broke out in the city of Xidu.

During this winter, nearly a thousand ordinary soldiers successfully broke through and became first-level Qi Refiners, completing the magnificent transformation from common people to Qi Refiners.

Most of these soldiers are from the [Yu Shen Army] and [Phoenix Division], with low qualifications. They have been tempered on the battlefield and have military merits. They entered the [Qi Yun Hall] to practice, and this is how they became the low-level Qi practitioners of the Xi Kingdom.

big explosion.

Although it seems shocking, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. They deserve it. Hard work can change stupid qualifications. If you have the chance, it is not a dream to fly into the sky.

The explosion of first-level Qi Refiners is certainly gratifying, but the most important thing is the growth of high-level Qi Refiners.

In this regard, the results are also very gratifying. The Qi Refiners trained by Xi Kingdom have all achieved breakthroughs in cultivation. Even if they can break through the bottleneck, they have only broken through a small realm.

In particular, Cang Man and Niu Dali, the two great ministers of the eldest son's family, are highly qualified, have training resources, and are not short of all kinds of great fortunes, and their cultivation levels have improved very quickly.

Cangman's cultivation level has broken through from the middle to the late stage of the fourth-grade feudal lord realm. He has comprehended the [War God's Book of War] in a decent way, and his magical power and combat power are extremely terrifying;

Niu Dali has the inheritance of divine beasts and the assistance of the auspicious beast [Sheng Si Zhong]. The speed of his cultivation is the most astonishing. His cultivation has skyrocketed, which is comparable to Liusu who has awakened the bloodline of two great gods.

Speaking of Liusu, Yao Yun was a little depressed. Empress Liusu made a breakthrough again. Her cultivation reached the late stage of the fifth level, she condensed her soul, refined the Qingqiu Mountain Divine Token, and became the real Empress Liusu.

This made Yao Yun a little depressed. Originally, he wanted to try to fuse the four divine swords of killing gods, but now, he was a little hesitant.

If both of them break through, it will be even more difficult to give birth to an heir.

For this reason, Yao Yun temporarily gave up practicing his magical powers. In the second half of the winter, he spent all day long with Liusu, and began the greatest movement of living things to reproduce!

However, God was not kind to her. Until the ice and snow melted and spring began for all things, there was still no movement from Lady Liusu.

Yao Yun had completely given up this idea, but one day in early spring, an exclamation from the palace made Yao Yun ecstatic!
