When following Qianqian into the cabin, Taoist Qingmu thought of something, and sent a message to the people around him: "Be respectful when performing the ceremony later, and give Ye Zhenjun a good impression, but don't be too rigid..."
"Uncle, I understand. His Highness Da Siming asked us to provide the most authentic impression, including the spirit of the East China Sea Immortal Sect, so that it can be used as a reference for Ye Zhenjun."
The two female disciples both laughed and quickly covered their mouths, showing an embarrassed smile to Qianqian who looked back.
They are powerful but still have a simple heart. They are really interesting comrades...
Qianqian returned the same smile to the two little girls, stopped in front of her husband's lounge, and made a gesture: "His Royal Highness Da Siming, and my husband are inside, please come in."
"Thanks for the guidance."
Taoist Qingmu and several other people filed in, and as the port door opened and closed, Da Siming caught a glimpse of green light from the corner of his eye. He subconsciously turned around and saw only the back of a girl in white, and the cabin door opened with a soft "click".
Close it lightly.
Five immortals rushed up to him, kowtowed and said: "Disciples of the East China Sea Qingmu Sect pay homage to His Highness Da Siming."
"Get up, Qing Muzi, come here, I will introduce you to Mr. Ye Zhenjun..."
Only then did the real person take a closer look at Ye Qing. It was the first time they met, both as an immortal and as the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. They had to pay a big courtesy, so they all knelt down and said, "Meet the real king."
"There is no need to be polite." Although Ye Qing said this, he still accepted the gift, because the other party was not his lover or close relative, and there was a gap between immortals and mortals, and there was a gap in rank, so he should be accepted reasonably, especially when they met for the first time.
Da Siming showed a smile, turned his cheek, and whispered to Ye Qing: "You can just ask, I just want to give you first-hand information about the overseas East Wilderness.
Ye Qing nodded, and after receiving the courtesy, he stood up and helped the real person up, coughed, and said, "Fellow Taoists, thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat."
Seeing that he was seated, he asked for details again: "How far is the nearest route from Donghuang to the coast, and how long does it usually take to get here?"
"Thirteen hundred miles, it is the northern route between Dongzhou and Qingzhou. It is difficult for civilian merchant ships to pass through. Navy warships can reach the speed in two days. There is also a coastal protrusion in Yingzhou in the south, several small islands and Yingzhou
There is a southern route between them, which is five hundred miles more winding than this distance." Master Aoki looked solemn, bowed, and explained in great detail.
"But because it is close to the Dragon Palace, the wind and waves are much smaller, and there are several small islands that serve as relay springboards. These small islands are controlled by some immortal sects, and their population may be thousands or tens of thousands."
"You can replenish some fresh water and food here, so most civilian merchant ships take this route. It takes a little longer, but it is relatively safer."
Ye Qing heard that he had done some homework and was very satisfied. After thinking about it, he asked again: "I remember His Highness Da Siming said that the overseas Eastern Wasteland is composed of a continent and a half, and there are many islands. You Qingmu
Zong currently occupies Nha Island, right? What is the geographical situation like?"
"Nya Island is not big. It is divided into three counties. Because there is a mountain in the center, the main gate is built on the top of the mountain. However, there is a relative lack of flat land for farming and there are many dense forest restrictions. The population under its jurisdiction is only 1.5 million.
"Master Aoki replied calmly.
After a pause, he continued: "After hearing this, Zhenjun may inevitably have some doubts. Originally, the Heavenly Court had a decree that the Immortal Sect was not allowed to go deep into the mortal world, but..."
Speaking of this, Master Qingmu sighed: "Since ancient times, the land has been reclaimed, and the Tao has been somewhat different. Wild beasts have emerged in endlessly, so every place must be based on the Immortal Sect or the Qi Refining Family. Otherwise, it cannot be reclaimed, so there is this
thing."
Ye Qing understands that there is a Jiedushi system in the frontier, which is different from that in the mainland.
This Ya Island has a population of one county in Neizhou, which is even more rare on the island. It has a strong foundation in one county, so it is said that it has a deep foundation. No wonder it has produced many talents.
Ye Qing nodded again after hearing this, and then asked what he was most concerned about: "How much is the largest piece of land?"
"This..." Taoist Qingmu was a little hard to answer. The Eastern Barren Continent is the outer Eastern Barren of Shanghai in a narrow sense. Even the immortal sects are difficult to explore in depth. Only the Heavenly Court knows it. He couldn't help but look to Da Siming for help.
"The Eastern Wasteland can actually be said to be a new continent. Because we, Qingmai, discovered it first and named it Dongzhou in the early days, the actual discovery was far more than the area of one state..."
Da Siming showed Ye Qing a chart. Deep in the East China Sea beyond Ya Island, there is a piece of land located at the junction of the East China Sea and the Black Water Ocean: "Look, this is the land sent by the emperor four years ago.
Exploration, about here..."
four years ago……
Ye Qing was startled and thought to himself, wasn't that the eleventh year of Pingjing's Da Cai when he was reborn? It was like all the storms had risen from the ground in that year. It was really strange.
He was not a conspiracy theorist, but he naturally thought to himself that there must be some kind of wide-area influence, and this was probably related to the close proximity of the two areas at that time.
The light on the chart changed, and the three-dimensional picture presented attracted his attention.
The vast green mountains and green waters are covered by colorful miasma, like the fog of war, covering most of the land. Only the popular auras of some colonial points are scattered one after another, and some kind of simple spiritual network connects them.
A small crescent-shaped civilization area forms along the west coast...like a bud.
It seems that the land is vast and sparsely populated. Overall, this wild land covers a very large area, with the size of five Yingzhous. It is different from the small Ya Island.
I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart, and asked: "I heard that you have initially colonized the west coast. How many people do you have now?"
"This... there are currently 2.7 million people, and most of them are refugees from coastal states in recent years. However, the coastal resources are relatively rich, and there are not many landless refugees left. Unless we move all the people on Ya Island, it will be difficult to
Growth developed.”
Taoist Aoki spoke honestly, as if he was afraid that Ye Qing would make such a request for relocation, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Moving over will result in the loss of the relay station of Yadao, and there will be no way to maintain smooth communication with the mainland."
There are only two counties in the land of five states, and even the population in northern Hunan is less. The land is so vast and the people are sparsely populated. This is a completely barbaric wilderness. I am asked to go and overcome the thorns.
Ye Qing was speechless for a while, and his disappointment was palpable: "It seems... it's really desolate, except for this colonial difference."
Da Siming's eyes flashed, but he did not say anything about the special significance of this land to him.
It was my younger sister Shao Siming who discovered and named it at that time. She was a sister from the same mother, and later she set foot on the immortal path. Her duties are death and sexual killing, while her duties are to lead rebirth, sexual exploration, and mutual resonance.
, in less than two thousand years, he successively advanced to become an Earth Immortal, becoming a rising star with green veins, and attracted the attention of the emperor.
Because of my sister's personality, hobbies and duties, she often traveled around the world as a mortal. She just discovered this continent emerging from the sea more than a hundred years ago. She named it "Dongzhou", which sounds warm and hopeful.
name……
But now they are gone.
Half of her natal Taoist companion died, and the only result was that his practice stagnated. Her vivid figure disappeared from his life, leaving only anger, killing, and death...
If I hadn't spent a lot of money to inspire the emperor's prophecy, I still maintained a little hope, squeezing out time to go down to earth to search for traces, otherwise I would have no interest in this world.
"Let me think about it again..." Ye Qing turned around and looked at Da Siming. Seeing that her face was dull and a little dark, he was secretly surprised and wondered if she was angry?
He put his hand in his sleeve and didn't touch the crystal diamond. When he woke up, he handed it over to Qianqian due to special circumstances.
Ye Qing stopped asking at this time, Taoist Qingmu felt it, felt a little disappointed in his heart, and did not say anything.
At this time, the girl in a red coat and green skirt who had been sitting behind the Taoist suddenly stood up, her face turned slightly red, and she stared at Ye Qing: "Zhenjun, you are the Immortal Lord of the Mainland, with a population of nearly 20 million under your command in the two states.
I look down on our small place, but among the various vassal states in the East China Sea, it took tens of thousands of years for the Xianmen to open up the private land that Qingmai now has. Who can pick fruits as soon as they come up?"
"Liniang" Taoist Qingmu frowned and shouted, this is not a sect, he is facing the True Lord, the Marquis of Han, the brightest morning star in Qingde.
Ye Qing waved his hand, looked at the girl with interest, and nodded: "Li Niang, right? Please continue."
"I..." Liniang calmed her breathing for a moment and regretted her impulsiveness. At this time, she could only bite the bullet and swallowed.
"Ya Island is the nearest large island to Dongzhou. We, the Qingmu Sect, have taken the lead in the island's Immortal Sect of the same lineage and have initially opened up in the western part of Dongzhou. We have established protective formations in all the blessed lands that can be explored."
"Around the blessed land, settlements have been built. These have cost an unknown amount of manpower and material resources. It can be said that human lives have accumulated. The only difference now is population. How can we say this is a wasteland?"
"When the True Lord heard that the Qing system had been achieved and that we had hundreds of green veins, we decided to dedicate this piece of Dongzhou where many people had sacrificed. Does the True Lord still despise the desolation?"
At this point, the girl's emotions were touched and her eyes turned red.
After hearing this, Ye Qing felt horrified and moved. He was startled for a moment and then said calmly: "What you said is that I was negligent."
After hearing this, Master Qingmu thought to himself: "The Marquis of Han is generous and not a headstrong person who cannot tolerate others. I am really lucky for Qingde."
After thinking for a while, she said: "Liniang, please don't be rude. We have been developing Dongzhou for a hundred years, but these manpower can only be provided by the marquis of Han Dynasty who came to build institutions and create a population. Only then can we share our energy and strengthen Qingde - and also
Don’t you want to apologize to the true king?”
"Haha, that saves you the trouble...but you're probably missing two of them, you sharp-tongued girl. Transporting people isn't as simple as pulling them in from the mainland."
"Do you know how complex preparations are required for large-scale population migration? At the very least, you still lack a safe and convenient sea route and a safe road network among the wild forests of Dongzhou."
Ye Qing laughed and pointed at some fine red nets on the virtual topographic map of Dongzhou, enlarging it into a detailed terrain overlooking: "These nets are convenient for you monks to escape. How can ordinary people get there? Yes, I can see the road too.
, but you see here...here...and here, they are all covered by dense forest shrubs and miasma, and I will not reveal the rest one by one, do you understand what I mean?"
"this"
Liniang's face suddenly turned red. She really didn't expect it to be so complicated. She couldn't refute it for a while. Without sufficient population, it would be impossible to keep the roads open. Once people stopped walking frequently, nature would regain its dominance over the area. Every time it transported
The population will have to be re-opened, and a lot of lives will be lost. If the population is insufficient, it will be even more difficult to maintain the trend of development.
"sorry……"
"There's no need to apologize. I know you're not lying. I'm just telling you that I'm not picking peaches or looking down on you. I'm just pioneering big things. The whole thing is interconnected and not as simple as imagined."
