Ye Qing knew that this man was both civil and military and would care about the military. He clicked on the paper and said: "In view of the current situation, the line of actual control of each immortal sect has crossed our territory. This year is different from previous years... they have arrived in the Great Plains."
"This means that the Xianmen will be connected together on the front line in the future. The strongholds established on the plains can be denser. The difficulty of maintaining long-distance roads can be achieved by using short-distance roads between dense towns. The war may not only break out in winter. The current situation is here.
Although we arrived late, we must catch up, otherwise we will miss this wave of expansion climax... At that time, Xianmen will see that we have not gained much, and most of them will turn their energy back to their own territory, and the second wave of investment will become a cloud."
"In the territory, all motivations for war are based on the needs of the national destiny. With the support of Ying Hunan, the population of refugees and savage captives along the mainland's coast has increased, and the urban capacity of Hope Harbor-Fragrant Spring City-Cha Castle has gradually become insufficient.
, the cultivated land area directly under these cities is small and the population carrying capacity is limited. It is urgent to find a vast plain to establish a capital city."
Cao Cao nodded after hearing this, knowing that the development of the Han Dynasty was based on self-reliance, and the expansion of population and economy was the main motivation for the Eastern Expedition. The second was the long-distance railway laying experiment in Dongzhou, which formed a solid foundation for the establishment and running-in of the new industrial center.
It is an excellent whetstone, and finally it has political significance for the Immortal Sect to show off its muscles and attract investment... In short, it is to lay down the foundation and become a big tree on its own.
"You don't have to worry about the war. The logistics and construction tasks will be left to you." Ye Qing said: "I hope to see a preliminary self-sufficient center when I come back."
"Where is the location of the Gongfang District?" Cao Cao asked. His familiarity with this new territory was limited to the surface, and it was not as clear as his own lord's personal investigation.
Ye Qing thought for a while and said: "Hopeport. There is not much land for farming here, but it is enough to build factories. The cost of shipping to the port is low. It will be cheap and convenient to obtain iron ore and spiritual stones from other territories in the future."
."
Cao Cao considered the cards in his hand, and with a new batch of manpower and material support, the port industrial zone was initially established. The rails were first laid to the iron ore and spirit stone mines in the southern border of the territory, and the mining was completed to be self-sufficient. There was no problem in this, but there was another aspect.
factor……
"For the officials, the lord has to give me the power of reward and punishment in civil affairs, and allows special promotion." He said, explaining: "When they are new to the city, they must quickly get used to the new situation, and they are not expected to start from scratch. They are already familiar with it.
Under operational conditions, as long as they can copy a center and maintain it, allowing the originally superficial territorial rule to take root, the vitality of the system will burst out on its own... By then everything will be on track, and Xingjin will be cancelled."
Ye Qing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, but Meng De, don't forget, this is not the foundation of strength... Your cultivation is far behind Kong Ming."
"I understand."
Cao Cao expressed his resignation and went out. He looked up at the sky outside the door. Although the black stars were shining with red light, he felt that the sky was clear and his body and mind felt relaxed. He couldn't help but smile.
No surprise, in the past three years in Dongzhou, he has become the unique Prime Minister Cao. Although the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still small, he can use his fists to his heart's content... This alone is nothing. The Yin Dynasty that was originally limited by resources has stalled.
Divine cultivation can also start again.
Wouldn't it be exciting to make rapid progress, even to see eternal life right before our eyes?
"Meng De's face is full of enthusiasm. Could it be that he has robbed all our military expenses?" Lu Xun happened to come over and asked.
"Is there any reason to destroy a long sword by oneself?" Cao Cao responded with a smile and passed him by. He felt a little regretful. From now on, his position is to coordinate the situation, and it is difficult to have the iron-blooded romance of personally galloping on the battlefield.
The sky was getting dark, and the courtyard was quiet and cold. Seeing his colleague walking away with a happy face, Lu Xun smiled and said nothing more. He thought that this battle looked big, and he couldn't help but become eager... The title of a man is earned right away.
Entering the study, he said solemnly: "Reporting to my lord, the soldiers have received their weapons, have been reorganized and reorganized, and have entered the camp to rest."
"Okay, are you still used to it, general?"
Lu Xun laughed: "They are all old guys. They are used to...the extravagant firepower on the ship. They all thought it was a pity that most of the direct-fire thunderbolts in this dense forest could not be used. Otherwise, they would all recommend dismantling the ship's cannons."
Join the army..."
Ye Qing was not surprised when he heard this. The sailors were originally selected from Taoist soldiers who were proficient in land warfare. Due to confidentiality, the selected soldiers were veterans who had been in the field for decades. Their experience in riding horses and holding guns was even greater than that of operating boats and cannons.
Experience, there is no pressure to change the original identity.
"There is a problem with firepower density. There is a special natural unstable spirit stone here, which may be related to the characteristics of meteorites... Let the craftsmen study it later. It may speed up the local production of fire mines. This batch of stocks will be used this month... to resume training.
Soon, we will set off the day after tomorrow to bring this winter defense counterattack to a successful conclusion."
The two discussed secretly for more than an hour, and discussed a series of planning issues such as road construction and logistical supplies for the army. Before leaving, Ye Qing reminded him to pay attention to his practice as usual before letting him go and stood watching from the window.
The night has completely fallen, it is pitch black, the sound of the surging waves can be heard in the ears, and the moonlight quietly shines on the sea, the pier, the forest, the courtyard...
This land, which has been silent for a winter, is radiating power with Hope Harbor as the center. The waves are gradually rising and the tide is taking shape.
Ye Qingruo was unaware of the surging tide that was being pushed by his own hands. He just stared at the potted bamboo plant on the balcony, a little lost in thought.
"Is it Junior Brother Mingmu?"
The courtyard was quiet and the lamps were bright. A girl in a green coat and colorful skirt opened the door in the middle of the night. What she saw were two young people standing in the courtyard. It was like sensing the aura, and it was a surprise: "Zhe Feng is here, why are you all back?
Is there a truce on the front line? Or should I sneak back to see my senior sister?"
The young man at the head coughed and said: "There is still a small battle, but the big battle is over. The ice and snow are about to melt, and the main force on the front line will retreat soon... So after hearing your message, Senior Sister, the elder specially asked us to say, don't let Ye Zhenjun
Go too deep in case there is an unexpected failure..."
"Are you injured again?" Liniang frowned and put down the lamp and placed it on his hand.
"Small injury, small injury..." Mingmu subconsciously shrank his hand. The most beautiful senior sister in the door held his hand like this. The young man who was less than twenty years old blushed. Fortunately, his face was dark and he couldn't see it in the night.
clear.
Liniang ignored his withdrawal and carefully examined his injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the lung meridian was only slightly damaged. She frowned and thought about these words again, then she suddenly realized: "Are you afraid of losing face?"
"Cough...cough, senior sister, don't say that. It's the immortal sects who are asking about Ye Zhenjun's movements. After all, they are all from their own people. Everyone has good intentions...and it is our Qingmu Sect who has brought assistance. Just in case, on Banshan Island
There is no face in front of me..."
Liniang snorted and said angrily: "I can't make the decision on this. The true king has his own ideas. As a minister, I can't be unfaithful. At most, I can mention it when I have the opportunity.
"Your Majesty? Senior Sister, you..."
The two junior brothers were at a loss. They didn't know that the senior management had made the decision to send the disciple away, but they both knew that this senior sister was a very nice person but had a straightforward temper. She would not change her words once she said it. They could only smile bitterly after seeing each other: "Then let's... just go back like this.
I’ve reported it to the elders, senior sister, take care of yourself and don’t rush into battle too hard.”
"Hurry up and get lost..." Liniang laughed and scolded, knocking the two crows out, but she was still eager to give Mingmu a bottle of wound medicine: "Go back to Yazhou Island to recover from your injuries. In a few months, the teacher will
I might have to send you over again..."
"oh……"
The two rays of light disappeared on the western sea, and the fellow disciples had gone far away. Liniang sighed, suddenly feeling abandoned... Maybe it's not accurate, it's just that she and her fellow disciples usually have no problem understanding each other, but now there are differences in some aspects.
, makes people feel lonely.
After seeing off the guests, he returned to the courtyard and saw a figure in white standing there under the eaves of the verandah, looking at him.
"who"
Liniang was immediately startled and was about to activate the Taoist technique subconsciously. However, at this moment, the bright light of the lamp illuminated the other party's beautiful face, and she stopped immediately: "Ah, Mrs. Qian"
"Hello."
Qianqian smiled at her and nodded in approval, then turned and left, as if she just happened to be passing by.
The night was silent, and there was no sound everywhere. Only the cool night wind blew through the bamboo forest and mulberry branches in the yard. What happened just now seemed to have left no trace of the night wind, but it disturbed people's thoughts.
Liniang's mood was a little complicated and uneasy. She was in a daze for a while and then returned to the room.
Just as she was about to close the wooden door, she saw the figure of Ye Zhenjun, who looked like he had just returned from a meeting in his study room. The young monk walked through the corridor and walked with the woman in white before, and finally entered her room, shielding the magic circle.
rise.
"It's strange that Ye Zhenjun's fairy clone couldn't hide it from me... but Mrs. Qian was so close just now, and I didn't even notice her... like a ghost..."
Only then did Liniang remember the strange situation just now, and couldn't help but tilt her head to look. When the couple entered the same room, she thought of something, her face turned red, and she closed the door with a bang.
In the simple and elegant room, Ye Qing originally felt deserted, but now there was someone he cared about. Just smelling her breath and watching her actions of lighting the candles made him feel warm.
"Why don't you rest so late?"
"Well, wait for you to come. There is also the little girl from the Xianmen just now. Seeing that she is a little entangled, I will give her some encouragement." Qianqian chuckled, the light reflected her soft cheeks, her temperament was refined, but her dark eyes were lively.
Cunning, she is still the little maid in her memory.
Ye Qing looked at her for a while, as if he wanted to remember her appearance forever, until he looked at her a little strangely, and then looked away with a smile: "Wait a minute, although we are actually one body, you can also invite the main body..."
The shadow of Chuan Lin's notes rotated slightly in his body, shook slightly, and flashed blue and purple. Then he opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet at will: "Qianqian, I'm here...in your body..."
"Husband also found out?"
Qianqian's expression was as usual, she unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her white skin: "When I stepped here, I felt... very longing, like a sponge longing for water..."
"Hungry for power?" Ye Qing touched the Tanzhong point on her chest and felt a green shadow in her spiritual pool, and his face changed: "What is this?"
"It's a seed in form."
Qianqian said this, opening her body and mind to him with the resonance of her natal Taoist companion's spirit pool, and sharing her secrets with her husband: "I now guess that the cause of hunger and thirst is the treasure house of green veins in the body... I may have guessed wrong before.
It's not a sealed treasure house, it's a treasure... some kind of entity like this, or just a seed, I don't know what it will grow into."
Ye Qing thought to himself how similar this was to his Chuanlin Notes, both had unlocking properties... they were not ordinary things.
"Qianqian, how well do you control it?"
"My current strength is not enough to drive it. I only rely on a little mark to resonate with the Wutong Phoenix Seal and Dongzhou Mu De Yuanli... The difference is that I can control the former, and the latter is far beyond the range, but its reaction
It shows that Dongzhou’s green vein power is needed, and it would be beneficial to absorb more of it.”
Qianqian's watery eyes were dyed with a layer of green, very beautiful, and she looked expectantly: "Although I do not have any sense of the main body, there is a possibility that I am a clone."
"The incarnation shouldn't think like this, and I can't resist, but I really want to continue with you." "If you become an immortal, who knows what will happen? Although heaven protects the immortal rights, but if an immortal wants to take back the incarnation, I can
Resist?"
"Husband, you are a Qianlong. Unless you are an emperor, no one can predict Qianlong. Even if I can come to Dongzhou, I must not have calculated it. This is the last chance..."
Ye Qing silently retracted his hand, knowing what she meant by what she said, and agreed: "You can also follow the army, but you can't leave the protection of the Chinese army, you have to be by my side."
"You...Okay, I understand..."
The night was dark and dark, hiding the secrets of the world. This was the last peaceful night in the Hope Colony area.
