On the night of the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, the lights in the county were constantly lit. The arrival of the Han army injected life into the city, gradually restoring some of its pre-war prosperity.
Zhou Yu's navy has initially repaired the gantry crane at the wharf, and Lu Yun's two fleets have begun to busy transporting goods between both sides of the river. Each wave of baggage convoys brings supplies from Yingzhou, arrives at Dongping County, and dumps the goods.
Hundreds of miles away from the county town, a group of sailors were marching in the waterway, and in a car, Ye Qing was lying down with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
...There is a deep darkness here, but it is not scary. A soft and tolerant aura permeates the place, like a mother's embrace.
"Have we reached the origin of Chuanlin's Notes again..." Sitting upright, Ye Qing pondered, relaxing his mind, and saw a blue dome, a faint star that had not yet formed, just on the blue dome.
The yellow clouds turned into land. It was different from before. There was a hall on the pure land. There were white jade steps in front of the hall. There were hundreds of acres of gardens around it. There was no one around, and a kind of music could be heard from time to time.
Ye Qing stepped forward and looked at himself. He was wearing a royal robe, but it was a marquis robe. There was a hill not far away with a small hall, and he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Presumably these are the Hanhou Mansion and Dong Tianjun." Ye Qing thought: "And these stars that have not yet formed are the true immortals."
Ye Qing walked through the space carefully and found that there was a small blue-purple pool in the middle. Most of the pool was green, with some purple. Although this small pool was small, it was unfathomable and seemed to be integrated with the avenue.
.
"It's not surprising that there is half a sky film." Ye Qing was silent for a long time, sighing: "It's just that the last time I saw it, it was this big, and now I see it, it's still this big."
"I've been on the road so far, but I haven't really gained it yet?"
Ye Qing was just thinking when he saw a trace of yellow air coming from the top of the sky, floating above the main hall. Part of it was absorbed by the main hall, part of it was absorbed by the small hall on the mountain, and part of it turned into the ground and vegetation, but basically it was not absorbed by the small pond.
Feeling this change, Ye Qing's eyelids twitched slightly
"This is the luck of the human world. All I can extract now is some yellow gas. According to my understanding, the essence of the luck of the human world and Tao Qi are the same. With the level of Chuanlin's notes, it should be able to be transformed."
"I can't transform, it can only mean that my status is not enough now."
"Now I can barely call myself a great fortune, which is pretty good, but compared with Chuanlin Notes, it's still unbearable. Not to mention the emperor, at least I have to be the king."
The emperor in the human world depends on the development of the times. Nowadays, the population is large. Even if the emperor is controlled by the heaven, he is still purple. This is the most noble status in the human world.
"According to my current situation, if I control the three states, my luck in the world will be truly blue."
"According to cultivation, my Qi is only red, and the whiteness has not faded away. Only when I become a true immortal is red. However, this power belongs to myself and cannot be taken away easily."
"The earthly immortal is yellow, the heavenly immortal is green, and if there is blue and purple above Da Luo, that is the emperor."
Ye Qing's face remained motionless, and he was calculating carefully. Only here can he think carefully without fear of the Emperor and Dao Lord's perception.
"I'm afraid that in this world, except for the Lord of Three Daos, everything else is caused by the confusion of heaven and humanity."
"No wonder the Three Lords don't directly control the human world, or even the heavens. They are made by the Five Emperors. I'm afraid they are the saints of heaven."
"The five emperors themselves are the ultimate immortals in their cultivation, and combined with the status of heaven and the personality of humanity, they assume obligations to humanity. The weather in heaven is smooth, the aura is controlled, and all kinds of benevolence and administration are due to this."
"If you have nothing to ask for and nothing to need, what's the point of life and death in this world?"
"That's how it is in the Outer Territories. They pursue the Tao with all their heart, but in the end Taoism has nothing to do with humanity, and they are divided and ruled in various ways. If it weren't for the fear of a complete backlash from humanity, there might not even be city-states, let alone, the saints might destroy these humans in order to rebuild civilization.
Come again."
"Therefore, these constraints are a necessary evil for the world and for the balance of immortality and humanity."
"It is a bit detrimental to personal detachment, but now I think about it too early. The most important thing for me now is to cultivate into a true immortal as soon as possible.
"It's just that the resource problem of true immortals has always been a big problem. A long time ago, I read an article on earth about the true enlightenment flow."
"This article states that Buddhism, which is named after the great enlightenment and supreme enlightenment, after enlightenment and enlightenment, the energy level is only dark yellow, and it is called an Arhat. After that, it has to be filled with qualifications before it can be promoted to the Bodhisattva Buddha, among which the superior Bodhisattva
, generally nothing more than gold.”
"I really don't know if there is a world in the vast world where Buddhism and Taoism are the mainstay."
"If there is one, I really want to compete with it."
"But this is far-fetched. Let's practice now. I won't be far away from breaking through the bottleneck. I can still receive benefits, so I must make full use of them."
Ye Qing sat in the center. Gradually, the Five Virtues Spiritual Pond opened up. Originally, the bottleneck was broken. For a short period of time, which could be as short as three days or as long as a week, spiritual power could be absorbed from the heavenly and human realms for free. However, it was only limited to one virtue. Now the Five Virtues
The spiritual pool was fully opened, and the void was shaking. Five kinds of spiritual energy rolled in, and were quickly transformed and absorbed into it.
"Five times the spiritual energy, unfortunately, my needs are also great..." While muttering to himself, Ye Qing fell back into daily practice.
At this time, Qianqian stopped writing and could see the entire city through the carved windows on all sides. The streets and lanes were crisscrossed. The houses in the water town had a unique softness. Flowered umbrellas formed a landscape in the night market. Green bamboos lined the roads.
It is growing jointly in the rain.
If there was no war, this place would be like the vague impression of my hometown in my childhood memories... This is Xiangzhou.
"What are you remembering?" Cao Baijing looked at her quietly wearing a bright skirt, her face full of tranquility, her skin frosty and snowy, her delicate hands twirling a pen... She was really a woman transformed from the water town.
She knew the origin of the little sister she had watched since childhood, and recently her husband was also looking for a hometown for her.
"There is still a difference, it shouldn't be here."
Qianqian's eyes dimmed slightly, and she smiled again: "My husband promised that when the war in Xiangzhou ends, he will accompany me to walk around, and maybe I will make some discoveries."
Cao Baijing didn't say much. She looked back and looked outside. In her eyes, a northern girl, she couldn't tell the subtle differences in the architectural style of the water town.
At this time, thousands of households in the south were darkened, and the blue-black roofs were silent in the night. Only the night market in the north of the city was bustling, or to be precise, it was not a night market, but the refugees selling their belongings before relocation.
Xiangbei served as the bridgehead from Yingzhou to Xiangzhou, and would undoubtedly become the first-line battlefield. Therefore, the Han army's baggage convoy came fully loaded with supplies and left empty.
The carts were not carrying goods—the current prices in Dongping County were not worth buying back—but the old and weak households who had been relocated. The young and middle-aged men and women could only follow on foot, or those who had their own ox carts could drive along.
The convoy's return direction is to Linhe Port in the north.
These refugees will cross the river to the rear area of Yingzhou. When they get on the ship, they will disperse their place of origin. When they get off the ship, they will take trains and move to various counties in Yingzhou in batches. They will allocate wasteland and replenish the household registrations that have been reduced during the war in Yingzhou in the past few years. It is foreseeable that this will happen in the future.
In the following years, the number of registered permanent residents in Yingzhou only increased.
In order to save the transportation capacity of the fleet, fleet, and trains along the way, the burden must be reduced. The political hall issued an order to mainly bring people and light belongings. Household items that were too bulky could not be brought. An area in the north of the city was designated as a temporary store and sold on the spot at a low price.
It still attracts many residents of the city to go shopping for treasures and visit the gardens. The north of the city has always been a gathering area for the powerful. The original owners of these gardens were the families who were beheaded before. The scenery of the flower-tree eaves is still the same, and there are bustling stalls set up under the corridors.
Time has a feeling that things are different and people are different.
Transporting grain, pumping people, throwing objects... Zhengshitang designed a multi-pronged plan. No matter how strong the price of necessities of grain, oil, salt and vegetables on the market was, they fell within a few days.
If the large and small markets in the county and city are battlefields, then under Hanchen's experienced combination of heavy blows, it can be said that they were swept away on the spot.
Some rice markets were hit hard by bloodshed, and the prices even dropped back to the level that Ye Qing sent people to purchase. This caused a large merchant who gathered rare goods to lose all his money. For a while, he complained and complained. Most of them
Those who stock up on goods based on their own wealth are better off, but some who borrow money to stock up on goods and whose capital chain is broken have to commit suicide by jumping into a well. This temporarily caused public opinion among aristocratic families: "This persecution is too much..."
The situation was quickly reported. Recently, military and political reports were sent to Ye Qing's "retreat" in the pavilion. In fact, they were sent to Qianqian, Cao Baijing, and Diao Chan.
Qianqian was a little surprised when she first heard about this. After reading the financial report submitted by Lu Su, it became clear that due to the thousands of miles of trains and cross-river transportation, logistics costs increased in the goods sold at low prices. The cost of local goods was undoubtedly lower, and they still made a lot of money.
.
The name of the executor Lu Su is not unfamiliar - this man has little integrity, likes to make strange plans, has a rich family, and loves to give.
Generally speaking, the murderous intention arises from holding a steel knife in hand. In troubled times, aristocratic families have a knife called "living food" in their hands, which kills people without blood. When the military and political rule of the imperial court has not completely subsided, the economic foundation is always weak.
It was the first to collapse, it was the carving up feast of people like them, and it was also a test of the order of the imperial court.
But there are exceptions. When all the heroes were in power at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Su not only stopped taking care of the family affairs and kept slaves, but also donated a lot of money and sold land to help the poor and make friends with wise people. For this reason, he was deeply supported by the villagers.
At that time, Zhou Yu was the chief of Juchao. Hearing the name of Lu Su, he brought hundreds of his men to Fi. After some friendly exchanges, he asked him to finance some food. This was actually a forced conquest by the warlord, but it was also a test. You must know that this kind of
Under these circumstances, each family will basically only make a small amount of money and just treat it as protection money.
Lu Su's family had two large round granaries, each containing 3,000 hu of rice. As soon as Zhou Yu said he wanted to borrow grain, Lu Su did not hesitate and immediately pointed to one of the granaries and gave it to him. This was actually a sign of gratitude to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu remembered this kindness and got to know Lu Su's vision and understanding of the situation. Later, when he crossed the Yangtze River eastward to join Sun Ce, he also took Lu Su with him, thus creating a good story of the meeting between kings and ministers.
Of course, it's not that these heroes don't know the benefits of harvesting grain, they just have a world-wide ambition and are not limited to this.
Now that there were no foreign ministers in the room, Qianqian regarded this as a fun fact and told it to her sisters, commenting: "Lu Su presided over this plan, so he would not have any scruples and directly cut off the probing minions of each family."
