Although Cui Yu is the leader of his generation in the Cui family, he is still junior, and there are people in his generation with better talents. Since joining Qingming, Cui Yu has basically used his family's contribution and monthly bonuses in exchange for Wei.

Yuan needs the information.

Wei Yuan knew this well, but there was currently no good way to compensate him.

With Cui Yu's current status in the family, he cannot exchange for the core secrets of the royal families of various countries. However, Wei Yuan does not need to know that much, as long as he understands the clear information, it is enough for the time being.

Wei Yuan originally had no interest in seizing the direct descendants of the Western Jin Dynasty, but Concubine Yuan made it so obvious in the end. If he didn't help her, who knows what she would do. If the news spread to the ears of King Jin, then the Western Jin Dynasty would still

Can't you afford to use the whole country's army to bring down Qing Ming?

How can I help? Just ask the university.

Wei Yuan first sorted out his current advantages. The first is that he has a lot of troops and is in a frontier. The second is that his personal strength is acceptable and he can fight against the relatively weak Fa Xiang. The third is that it is a little further away, and Qingmingzhong is rich in products.

, in the future, as the territory continues to expand, the production will become more and more abundant.

In the battle for the heir, the most important point is the first point, and then personal strength plays an important role, but it is not as important as the first point.

Wei Yuan exchanged a large number of history books through the Hall of Merit, and wanted to see how the border guards with heavy troops participated in the battle for the right to inherit the throne in history.

As he watched, Wei Yuan felt more and more wrong. How come these people don't have a good reputation and don't have a happy ending?

But in the blink of an eye, he figured out the reason. Not all of these people had a happy ending. Some of them succeeded, and with the power of supporting the dragon, they beautified their actions. Anyway, this

The history books of the time can be written as they wish.

There were also a few people who were so successful that they even became real dragons themselves. So their deeds were all listed in the Chronicle of the Founding of Emperor Taizu, not in the biographies that Wei Yuan read, let alone the biographies of traitorous ministers.

Wei Yuan saw what happened later and finally understood that if the same thing succeeded, he would be the founder of the country or the ancestor of Zhongxing, or at least the founding father of the country. If not, those who are capable will enter the Traitors, and those who are not capable enough will probably only

One sentence: So-and-so raised an army and was defeated.

After reading the history books all day, Wei Yuan kept immersing himself in history, and as a result, he broke into cold sweats several times.

As for Wei Yuan's own strength, although it is said that it will take another year to break through, that is just data on paper. At this time, 100,000 acres of newly opened grain fields have been planted, and thousands more acres of rice fields will soon be planted.

The spiritual fields are about to be harvested. After the new batch of rice is harvested, seeds can be planted to open more spiritual fields.

In other words, in half a year at most, after the next two batches of grain are harvested, the spiritual energy contributed will be enough for Wei Yuan to break through. If it is faster, maybe three months.

Wei Yuan thought about the strength of the realm again.

Strictly speaking, Ji Liuli, like Bao Yun, cannot be counted in the realm's standing combat force. The same is true for Cui Yu. Sooner or later, he will go back to inherit the family business. Although the Cui family's generation has more

An outstanding genius, but the Cui family's fortune is too big for one genius to take on. Cui Yu will definitely be able to get a pretty big piece of it.

The same goes for Wang Yu, Xu Yi and other children of aristocratic families. Their better future lies in the family, rather than following Wei Yuan to charge.

Regardless of the family members, Wei Yuan now has roughly 700 Taoist priests, dozens of whom have just been captured. In addition, there are also 3,000 monks who have completed their castings. These monks are among the best in the world.

Dragons, outside the realm, can only be said to be quite outstanding. Finally, there are tens of thousands of ordinary cast monks.

In the realm, Wei Yuan used this army to withstand the attack of a hundred thousand elite witches. Although he immediately pulled his hips out of the realm, Wei Yuan could expand the realm.

At this time, the harvest of the mortal grain in the realm has been completed, and there are more than four million kilograms of grain stored in the warehouse.

With soldiers and food, Wei Yuan felt confident for the first time to separat one side and bring trouble to Chao Gang.

Wei Yuan was horrified by this thought all his life. Why did he think about this? If it weren't for the strangers in the Broken Realm, he wouldn't be tied to death in this place.

But it is a fact that we now have strong troops, strong horses, and sufficient food. Is it just such a waste of time?

Just as Wei Yuan and the gods were fighting, Yu Zhizhuo knocked on the door. When he saw Wei Yuan, his face was full of joy, he took Wei Yuan's hand and said: "My nephew is back just in time! I happened to be there

A vein of copper ore was discovered underground, and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Yu Zhizhuo seemed very anxious and almost dragged Wei Yuan into the air. At this moment, Wei Yuan felt the difference. Master Yu's hands were hard and rough, like his favorite ore. Concubine Yuan's hands were soft and soft.

Smart, it seems to be able to transform into all things in the world, and is omnipotent; Master's hands...

Wei Yuan quickly cleared away any dangerous thoughts.

Yu Zhizhuo's flying posture was unpretentious, but his speed was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he took Wei Yuan to the depths of the underground mine tunnel. After only a few days of returning, the mine tunnel extended dozens of feet underground. But obviously this

The progress could not satisfy Yu Zhizhuo, so he immediately dragged Wei Yuan down.

What was in front of Wei Yuan at this time was a green ore vein, which contained a rather strange mineral gas, which was mainly gold and supplemented by wood.

Yu Zhizhuo didn't need to say anything. He just pointed forward and Wei Yuan knew what he was going to do, so he took action with the Golden Light Water Blade Technique. But after a moment, Wei Yuan let out a sigh and stopped the water flow.

Normally, if he had been rushing for such a long time, he would have dug more than ten feet into the mine tunnel, but now he only dug in three feet. Wei Yuan stretched out his hand to dig, and the rocky ore layer was like soft mud under his hands, and he dug directly into it.

Big chunks.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Wei Yuan just felt that this kind of ore seemed to be particularly resistant to Dao power. Ten percent of Dao power hitting it would not produce 30% of the effect.

At this time, Yu Zhizhuo had already set up a formation disk, and a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the underground mine was displayed on the formation disk. From the schematic diagram, it can be seen that the surrounding area has been dug like a spider web.

"This vein is somewhat special. The ore is particularly resistant to Dao power and is not ordinary copper. If this component can be separated, it will be the best material for defensive magic weapons. But we will talk about the separation later. Let's open the mine first."

Yu Zhizhuo drew a winding line on the schematic diagram of the mine, and then said: "Dig like this first."

Wei Yuan released another Water Blade Technique, but it still had little effect. In fact, the Water Blade Technique was extremely efficient in mining. Even if several of Yu Zhizhuo's juniors were tied together, they couldn't compete with Wei Yuan alone.

Excavation of ordinary mineral veins is enough. When encountering special mineral veins or requiring large-scale exploration, Yu Zhizhuo especially likes to recruit Weiyuan, which can increase the exploration efficiency dozens or hundreds of times.

Even if the efficiency is only 30% at this moment, it would be even less efficient if it were replaced by someone else, unless they do not use Taoism and only use manual brute force to dig.

However, an idea flashed in Wei Yuan's mind, and the water in his hand suddenly turned red and began to glow with blazing heat. The mineral vein in front suddenly melted like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun.

This was Wei Yuan's attempt to add the newly acquired Red Lotus Bodhi aura, and the effect was amazing. But after just a few digs, he felt terrible.

Sure enough, Yu Zhizhuo's eyes were shining, his hands were rubbing together, and he was very excited.

So when Wei Yuan came out of the underground, it was already early the next morning. As the old saying in Wei Yuan's hometown goes, the capable mule is always the first to die of exhaustion.

He returned to his residence exhausted, and learned about more than a dozen kinds of minerals. At this time, Wei Yuan was too tired to move. Suddenly, another monk knocked on the door and delivered a letter, saying: "This is Ning."

A letter from the Governor of West County to you."

Yuan Qingyan?

Wei Yuan was refreshed. This guy finally realized his mistake and wrote a letter of surrender?

But when he opened the letter and read it, he suddenly felt angry. It was not a letter of surrender, but a letter of persuasion. Yuan Qingyan calculated that Wei Yuan would have run out of food, so he wrote to persuade him to surrender to the court. As long as Wei Yuan was willing to sacrifice Qing Ming.

, then he can give up the position of county governor.

The wording in the letter was sincere, but given Wei Yuan's character, this letter was more of a letter of challenge than persuading him to surrender. Could Yuan Qingyan not know this? Was he aware that he had a chance of victory, so he came here specifically to provoke?

But now Wei Yuan is different from before. After all, he is also a general among his relatives. He feels that sooner or later he can calmly deal with Yuan Qingyan. So Wei Yuan cheered up, picked up the Traitor's Story again, and looked carefully at what happened.

How to frame Zhongliang by fabricating unfounded charges.

When he thought of this, Wei Yuan sighed several times. Who kind of loyal person is Yuan Qingyan?

After a short rest, it was time for the cultivators in the Taichu Palace to discuss matters. It was said to be a discussion, but in fact they were exchanging the progress of their respective research. After reading Xu Wenwu's Records of Experiences, the cultivators all opened their minds and let themselves go in their research.

Things are getting more and more weird, so no matter how busy Wei Yuan is, he always has to participate in routine meetings.

His brilliant Hive Sword Launcher was inspired by these meetings.

In the blink of an eye, everyone gathered. In fact, the main room used for meetings was already quite crowded at this time. Wei Yuan had always wanted to build a special meeting hall under the main peak, but he never got around to it.

Before the meeting started, a monk suddenly rushed over and sent a letter of greeting, saying: "There is a young monk outside who wants to see the world leader by name."

"See me? No!" Wei Yuan felt a headache when he heard the word "monk".

At this time, a Buddha's call was heard outside the door, and someone said: "Almsgiver Wei is really busy, so the young monk had no choice but to come uninvited."

While he was talking, a monk pushed open the door and entered.

This young monk is not very old. He has red lips and white teeth, and a very good appearance. He can almost compare with most of the so-called beauties in the world. However, his temperament is a bit weird. He is not as Zen-minded and Buddha-natured as the enlightened monks.

Beyond transcendental things, all four elements are empty.

It has an ethereal meaning, but its sharpness is apparent, like a jade sword.

This young monk was able to penetrate deep into the core of the realm and arrive outside the door under the eyes of everyone in Taichu Palace. He obviously had some skills.

Seeing Wei Yuan, he proclaimed the Buddha's name and said: "The donor has gone against the grain and has sinned deeply. The young monk came here to save him. I just hope that the donor will put down the butcher's knife and turn around. It's not too late to repent now."

The young monk's voice was pleasant to the ear, and his words had a convincing power. However, the content of what he said made Wei Yuan feel more and more wrong as he listened, and anger arose in his heart.

I acted against the will and my sins are serious? Could it be that this young monk had bad eyesight and mistakenly recognized the wrong person?

The young monk seemed to have heard what Wei Yuan was thinking, and said seriously: "Donor Wei seems to be dissatisfied, so the young monk will count the donor's crimes."

Wei Yuan just sneered, but wanted to hear what the monk had to say.

"You fought with the Wu tribe and drove civilians to the killing battlefields several times, causing endless killings. This is your first crime. You forcibly moved more than 100,000 people from Quliu Town, and more than a thousand people died on the way. This is your second crime;

Pretending to be a horse bandit, robbing military supplies, and killing hundreds of innocent officers and soldiers, this is the third crime..."

As the crimes were counted one after another, Wei Yuan's eyebrows gradually rose.

Is it wrong to lead all the people in the realm to fight the Wu clan to the death? Is this called driving the common people?

Before the war started, Wei Yuan did not ask the people for their opinions. Except for children, in critical moments, everyone had to go to the battlefield regardless of whether they wanted to or not. With the blessing of all sentient beings, any civilian would have a certain fighting capacity.

But this is a life and death battle, how can it be possible to take into account everyone's wishes? If you have to ask everyone if they are willing to go to the battlefield before the war, then there is no need to fight this battle, just surrender to the Wu clan and let the matter be over.

If this is also a crime, then the sins in the surrounding area of ​​thousands of miles are much worse than those of Wei Yuan. Why don't you see this monk come to your door? Is it because you are easy to bully?
To be continued...
