While Hu was secretly planning, Jiang Hua arrived near the port.
Today is the day when the second group of people went to Dongning Island to reclaim land. As the Lord, Jiang Hua decided to take a walk in person to see if there was anything unreasonable in the migration process and if there was anything that needed improvement.
What was the life like for the people after they landed on the island?
Do you have enough to eat?
Is there boiled water to drink?
How is the overall mood?
Did any petty officials take this opportunity to oppress them?
These things may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of the nobles, and are not even as important as a hunt, but in Jiang Hua's eyes they are very important, at least worth a trip in person.
"Now the Faceless Man has given information on the following three counties. These three counties are all bordering Yancheng. Two are the territory of the nobles, and one is a city directly belonging to the monarch."
"The faceless man has bad intentions. The city that belongs directly to the monarch is a conspiracy. We don't have much choice, but once we attack, it will immediately attract the attention of the monarch."
"Although, sooner or later, we will attract the attention of the monarch, but one day later we will be safer."
"Now, the forbidden law barrier in these three counties has been broken by the doctors of the academy."
After saying this, Quwu became a little excited.
Since the restructuring of the academy, in just over ten days, fifteen new doctors have been added to the academy. Each of these doctors is a Taoist priest who has clearly understood the true meaning of the Five Elements.
"Although 12 of these 15 doctors made breakthroughs with the help of elixirs, and it is difficult for them to become Taoist priests in their remaining lives, they also have advantages that geniuses cannot match, that is, they are obedient and honest."
"Although they are not as dazzling as geniuses, and although they do not have a bright future, they have solidly completed the tasks assigned by the county governor and the academy. No matter how big or small, no matter how difficult it is, they are not picky about food."
"The remaining three doctors are all talented and have become Taoist priests through their own efforts. Now they are all understanding the secrets of yin and yang, and they have a bright future."
Listening to Qu Wu's report, Jiang Hua nodded from time to time.
Qu Wu, like Feng Yi, comes from a family of self-cultivated immortals.
The difference is that the Feng family where Feng Yi lives is one of the most powerful families.
Feng Yi's grandfather, the county lieutenant Qin three hundred years ago, was a genuine genius.
Before he came to Yancheng, he was an alchemist and looked ordinary.
After arriving in Yancheng, he obtained Yancheng's resources and continued to make contributions. He soon rose through the ranks and eventually became a county captain.
Later, even the small Yancheng could not accommodate this great genius. So, his ancestors three hundred years ago supported him in going to the East China Sea Academy to study Taoism. Before leaving, he changed his fiefdom to various
A kind of skill, magic weapon.
After going to the Tokaido Palace, he became even more uncontrollable. Decades later, he became a Taoist priest who understood the secret of Yin Qi. In the end, he died in an expedition without any bones left.
Although he died miserably, the Feng family rose up.
The family that Qu Wu belongs to is just a small family. There is only one Taoist priest in the family. Qu Wu himself is the contemporary patriarch and the most powerful in the family.
Quwu is now only one step away from being able to unite the five elements into one and become a Taoist priest.
Jiang Hua feels that this step may not be too far away.
"Let's go, let's pretend to be ordinary people and follow them to have a look."
After a while, Jiang Hua, Qu Wu and the guards who were hiding in the dark lined up with the people. Jiang Hua pricked up his ears and listened to the people's discussion.
"I heard that Dongning Island is very big and has a lot of plains. It's not like here, where there is always a hill or a forest."
"You don't need to hear that, haven't you seen the projections played by the magicians in the countryside using magic?"
"In that projection, there is a vast plain as far as the eye can see, but it has not been cultivated. It is a pity."
"I heard that the land will be divided when we go there, and no taxes will be collected for the first three years."
"The most important thing for me is status. The prefect said that we, the common people of Yancheng, are willing to stay and share the hardships with us after the monarch issued the order to exterminate Taoism, so he decided to share the blessings with us." An elderly man
The old man said swayingly.
The son and daughter-in-law on the side supported him on the left and right to prevent him from falling due to excessive excitement.
"The prefect said that as long as we go there, we will be granted the status of a Chinese citizen immediately. Although this countryman is a little different from the Chinese people in Chao Kingdom, the Chinese people are the Chinese people. From now on, I, the old man, am also a Chinese citizen!"
"In the past few days, the old man hasn't gone anywhere. He has been staying at his ancestral graves, telling his father who has been dead for many years about the changes in our Yancheng. He and I, as well as the whole family, will all be Chinese soon!"
After hearing this, Jiang Hua nodded with satisfaction and continued to listen to other people's opinions.
"It's really different. The people in Chao Kingdom are all given blood. What matters is whether they have awakened the blood. Once they have awakened and made a little contribution, they are considered citizens. They can enjoy a village as a fief. Even if the blood of the heirs recedes in the future, they can still
Keep an estate of one thousand acres."
"And we in Yancheng don't pay attention to blood. Therefore, when the time comes, the prefect will grant us the right to study in the junior Taoist palace."
"This junior Taoist palace is amazing. I heard that it teaches the knowledge of how to become an alchemist. Once you learn it, our children, our grandchildren, and our descendants will also be alchemists who can cast spells!"
"The prefect said that as long as you are a native of Yancheng, you or your descendants can go to the Junior Academy to learn Taoism."
"I heard about it. I heard that three doctors rushed to Dongning Island overnight and used magic to build one after another very beautiful, very grand, and very spacious academic palaces. There are also a number of
Another batch of Taoist scriptures, once you learn them, you will become a Taoist!"
"I heard that every junior academy has many, many teachers..."
Listening and listening, Jiang Hua observed these people again.
Although most of them are not gorgeously dressed, and although they are not physically strong, most of them are in good spirits at the moment. When talking to each other, they burst into bright laughter from time to time. This is their longing for a better life in the future.
hope!
These are a group of people full of hope.
Observing and observing, Jiang Hua felt heavy.
These people have always been the most simple people.
As long as there is hope, they can endure all pain.
As long as there is hope, they are willing to give everything.
"Ancestors bless you, bless Yancheng, bless the prefect, I really hope we can win this time!"
"We will definitely win. The prefect is favored by heaven and is the one whom destiny loves!"
"Yes, it's our destiny to be the prefect, we will definitely win!"
