Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Chapter All-County Arms (Part 1)
Nanlian Mountain·Earl's Mansion
Nanlian Mountain is not too high. At the foot of the mountain, there is a continuous stretch of pavilions and pavilions forming a garden with trees, cornices and corners, and winding corridors.
The secluded paths are interspersed among the green shade, and every furnishing and arrangement is elegant, elegant and original.
This is different from the old Yejiazhuang. It is just a one-person Earl's Mansion. It is surrounded by bluestone walls and filled with trees and flowers for a mile.
Now, a group of people in different clothes came to the door. There were more than thirty people. The steward had already greeted them and did not dare to neglect them.
"Everyone, please come in and have some tea."
As he said this, someone started walking forward without saying a word.
This kind of rule made some people open their mouths, then swallowed back the words, gritted their teeth secretly, and followed. They faced a winding four-foot path paved with pebbles, with flowers on the left and right, green forests, and terraces.
, pavilions and pavilions are revealed among the flowers and trees.
There are winding corridors connecting each other and secluded paths connecting each other. The group of people were invited to sit down in a monastery. After they sat down, eight beautiful maids silently came forward, offered tea, bowed again, and retreated.
Seeing the people disperse, these people let out a sigh of relief.
"So impressive. This is a noble man from heaven. I was passing by just now and saw that there are soldiers in every corner and the servants and servants have rules. Even for an Earl's Mansion, this is too arrogant." Someone was holding a plain paper bamboo fan and laughed.
He smiled and said with a sigh.
"I heard that it was built according to the specifications of the Marquis Mansion from the beginning, which makes it look majestic and beautiful. If it were someone else, it would be overstepping. But for this person, how can you say this?" Someone else hesitated and added.
He said: "You and I are both magicians. Although not everyone can see it, there are always people who can see it. There is always a red mist in this mansion. It is indeed extraordinary and it is not empty."
Seeing in the distance, the maids and servants were standing at the door with their hands down, waiting for orders. Everyone nodded: "That's right, that's why we came to join."
These people are all magicians who have come to fulfill the promise to the earth... Some are casual cultivators, and some are from small sects. Da Cai Chengping has lived for too long. Compared with the more arrogant nobles, these magicians know the blessed land better.

A few people were even on the way three days ago, but due to lack of opportunity, they were unable to make it until they signed the contract and came back. Many people looked a little regretful.
The members of the magician group will be responsible for the reception, and Ye Qing has not yet had time to come forward.
Due to this return, not only a simple evaluation of merits and demerits, but also a major change in the structure of the lower earth has brought about great changes. More than a dozen core members of the Ye family also discussed in the political hall, and some magicians who have performed well in the lower earth attended the meeting.
listen.
"Lord, this is the charter we have come up with. Please take a look at it." Lu Shangjing handed over the first draft, and Ye Qing took it. He looked at it carefully, read it, frowned slightly, and said after a moment: "Under the remaining power, under the influence of
If we establish strongholds everywhere in Pingshou, will we deploy troops throughout the county?"
"The goal of controlling Pingshou County and radiating Nancang County within one month is actually a bit conservative."
"Ah?" Lu Shangjing and Jiang Chen looked at each other, secretly surprised. Regardless of military investment or financial support, this is the most secure short-term plan based on existing resources.
"I know this is a proper plan. It's very good. It can be used as a backup in case of headwinds." Ye Qing looked into the distance and put this piece in his arms, thinking: "There are some things I didn't say clearly. You are right to be more cautious.
Ye Qing saw that Lu Shangjing felt a little regretful, so he stood up with a smile, walked a few steps, and said: "But I will leave for Taiping Lake soon to accept the invitation of Lord Long to complete the real alliance. The purpose is to open the Dragon Clan's waterway.
Lu Shangjing stared at Ye Qing, thinking, she was so excited that her breathing quickened: "If we can get the road to Shuifu, we can ignore the county-level expansion restrictions."
"You are right, so you make me an upgrade plan. The goal is to control Nancang County in a short time and radiate Yingzhou with the long river water veins."
"Hey, it's getting late, why don't you have lunch first?" Qianqian said softly, feeling a little helpless when she said this - my husband is always like this, he even forgets three meals when doing things, and here are the following
People are like this, and as a result, people of the same kind flock together, and people are divided into groups.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I'll let you..." Ye Qing raised his eyes and saw the sun shining brightly. It was indeed getting late: "Also, the magicians who come here also need to entertain..."
Cao Baijing laughed when she heard this, and raised her head from the copywriting: "Qianqian and I have asked the kitchen to prepare it. The magician who came here has already entered the banquet. See if you are serious and didn't say it... Just let someone bring it in here."
"...Oh, Madam is still considerate and considerate."
After a break and a simple meal, there was another round of discussion in the hall, which lasted until the afternoon.
The distribution of the alliance's military power in the county, the vassal connections in government affairs, land, water conservancy, the cooperation of allies in workshops, trading companies and contact points...
It spread into a network that spread across the entire state. After more than half a day of deliberation and revision, the revision of the military and political details were submitted to Ye Qing, who finally made the final decision.
"The military, political and economic aspects are both good. You have taken into account the most violent reactions that the Yu family and the governor may have. This is good. You have never underestimated any of our enemies." Ye Qing pressed the final draft and nodded.
I agree with this upgrade plan and only focus on a few points.
"Troop training continues as usual. We can now freely recruit and train soldiers. The standard establishment is three thousand regular troops, not counting allies."
After hearing this, everyone in the military system showed joy, which meant that the authority and power in everyone's hands expanded several times.
"Grain procurement continues to increase. Lu Ming will resign as county magistrate in a few days and will return south. The grain transportation cooperation with Lu's long river fleet can be started. This involves the follow-up long-term cooperation between my family and the Lu family. Mr. Lu wants to
Send capable candidates to supervise and coordinate.”
Lu Shangjing, the first civil servant among writers, had to take responsibility for the proposed plan. At this time, he stood up and bowed slightly: "I will handle it properly."
"The weaving factory cooperated with the Lin family in Pingshui County will speed up the production of five-color clothes. The semi-finished products will be transferred to my Taoist workshop first, and the female magician apprentice will complete the spiritual needle embroidery. This is an important matter to enhance the defense of the army. This is the responsibility of my wife."
Ye Qing said, looking at Cao Baijing who was sitting: "How?"
The magician group is headed by Qianqian and deputy leader Cao Baijing, but the division of responsibilities is very clear - Qianqian is responsible for wartime command but has a reluctant temper. Cao Baijing has been used to taking care of family affairs since she was a child, and she has the inherited experience of the orthodox magicians of the immortal sect.
Responsible for daily organization.
"Yes" Cao Baijing promised with a smile, as reliable as ever, the habits cultivated by the immortal sect's orthodoxy, many Taoist work are also combined with practice, and most of the magicians are people who focus on practice, so it is relatively easy to organize, she is sure of it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jing'er." Ye Qing said casually.
Cao Baijing was slightly startled. When she heard this title again, her heart felt inexplicably soft. She didn't know why...
Qianqian's eyes were a little thoughtful, recalling some memories. It took her a while to come back to her senses, only to hear Ye Qing telling the high-level magicians present: "Everyone knows that the power of Taoism in ground warfare is the core and is the foundation of our establishment.
The key to the advantage is that the fifty magicians that Xiatu has collected will arrive one after another in the next few days. The limit of one hundred magicians for this group of magicians must be bypassed."
"First make up for the vacancies caused by battle losses. After the others are separated, they will be included in the secondary alliance magician group. It is essentially a reserve force. I will select half of you to establish the framework... If the reward from the heaven goes well, the size of the magician group will be
There will be an expansion soon.”
"The last thing is the covenant. With the Lower Earth Covenant as the foundation, it's hard to say how much we can sincerely join him, but it is imperative to expand the Ye family alliance." Ye Qing's eyes fell on Ji Caizhu.
Ji Caizhu cleverly presented the list of alliances: "It turns out that among the second-level allies, 13 were firmly supportive of Xiatu, and two betrayed. Among the third-level allies, 27 were on our side, and 34 betrayed.
."
"Support us to raise the level. If you betray, you will clear the alliance. There are many people waiting in line to come in. We have no shortage of choices and we don't need this kind of wallow."
Ye Qing personally crossed out the names of fifteen families and circled the top four: "It turns out that the Cao and Mo families of the first-level offensive and defensive alliance, the Jiang family in Shanzhu County and the He family in Pinghe County have all expanded their magician garrison. Of course, these are
To be selected from the reserve force, nominally has nothing to do with my Ye family."
This remark was so overwhelming that many people wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. I know it is not such an easy thing, but the Lord has his own responsibility.
Cao Baijing glanced at her husband. In fact, to her, the deputy leader, her husband said in detail that this method was in a gray area, and he gave some explanations:
"If it were the imperial court, it would never allow such behavior. Magicians are already an elite force in the world. Even in times of foreign war, they would be afraid of forming local separatist regimes - they would rather be with friends than domestic slaves."
"But the situation is different now. The Heavenly Court is very assertive. There is no limit to the number of real people in the magician group of General Fu Di. The mere level of Qi training will not be regarded as a hidden danger to the rule by the Heavenly Court. The so-called quota of 100 people is just a compromise given to the court during peacetime. A great catastrophe.
How much you can expand when fighting foreign lands is up to you. Compared with the growth of this direct line's combat power, the court's face is nothing more than a cloud."
Ye Qing felt her gaze and turned around with a smile: "In fact, this force must be in our hands. Jing'er, you have to be prepared for this. You would rather fall out than be vague."
"Yes, I understand." Cao Baijing responded with a smile, his eyes soft and filled with aura like water.
Her aura was about to break through the Dao taboo. Ye Qing was a little happy and a little relieved.
This moment was seven years earlier than in the previous life. At that time, there were not many old family members left in the Ye and Cao families. This young magician was a relative who fought with him until the last moment. His tragic fate would never happen again in this life.
Not only she and Qianqian, but also herself. In her previous life, ever since she gave up her childhood to her uncle, she had made every wrong step and fallen behind step by step. Her luck had passed by, and many key steps to the top had been snatched away by others with just a hair’s breadth...
He worked hard, only to end up with the sad end of death and annihilation. He didn’t realize his life until his death, and he had endless regrets.
Ye Qing silently recalled it, lowered his head and looked at the plan in his hand, planning to acquire Nancang County rigorously and carefully, and then getting a glimpse of the power of Yingzhou, and getting here step by step, it was really like a dream.
"Yinghou" Ye Qing couldn't help but murmured, this position that was unattainable in the previous life was just one step away.
