Song Que carefully flipped through the seven luck maps in his hand, closed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time, then suddenly his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of reverse blood.
"Brother, how are you?"
Song Zhi, who was sitting next to him, was shocked and asked anxiously that he would come over to check.
"It's okay, I just spit out the congestion caused by the retrograde flow of Qi!"
Song Que slowly closed the seven pictures of luck in practicing martial arts, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I can't practice this thing. It depends on whether the children in the clan have such luck!"
"Brother, aren't you afraid that Marquis Wu might try something here?"
Song Zhi couldn't help but said: "There are only seven luck charts for practicing martial arts. There is no other written support, which is hard to believe!"
"If you don't believe it, can you stop practicing?"
Song Que said leisurely: "Marquis Wu would not do such a thing, and with his strength there is no need to act like this!"
Song Zhi hesitated and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Yes, if he doesn't believe it, he can stop practicing.
But in front of the secret manual of magical skills, how could he resist practicing it?
Wu Hou is really harmful to people!
When the Emperor of Mount Zhongnan steps on the peak, Cihang Jingzhai is in the dining hall.
There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the room, and in front of the altar table for the Guanyin statue, there was a seven-page exercise luck chart, which was the Qi-guiding chart of the Immortality Technique popularized by Lei Hu.
Fan Qinghui, the new master of Cihang Jingzhai, and several senior officials of the Jingzhai stood quietly. After a long time, Fan Jingzhai slowly spoke: "These seven luck maps of the practice are indeed the luck of the longevity secret.
It’s a pity that many disciples in the sect find it difficult to even get started!”
"Master Zhai, what is the purpose of Wu Hou's comprehensive promotion of (Longevity Secret)'s luck chart?"
Elder Jingzhai next to him asked: "Now that the world is boiling, I'm afraid it will trigger a trend of practice!"
"Then let the wave become more violent!"
Fan Qinghui said calmly: "If no one can enter Buddhism for a long time, the hustle and bustle in the world will gradually decrease. If someone is lucky enough to enter Buddhism, let's see if they can enter Buddhism?"
"Then let all Buddhists in the world pay close attention to it!"
Another Jingzhai elder nodded in agreement and directly decided on his future actions.
…
On the other side, Daomen's reaction was also very quick.
Lou Guandao of the Northern Dao Sect Zhengzhuan responded immediately. The leader Qi Hui personally led the team and rushed directly to Qiantang City to meet with Wu Hou, hoping to find out Wu Hou's true thoughts.
(The Secret of Immortality), as a Taoist miracle, should it be spread throughout the world so that almost everyone in the world has a copy of it?
Of course, all Taoist sects actually have copies of the "Secret of Immortality", but no Taoist descendant has ever understood the basics. Now that there is such a momentum, Taoist sects naturally have to respond in time.
In addition, it is obviously impossible for Wu Hou to create such a huge momentum without some planning.
It is very likely that Wu Hou is confident that someone can understand the basic skills and luck chart of (Eternal Life Secret) and directly achieve the innate state.
With such talented people and beautiful jade, Lou Guan Dao, which has developed so prosperously, naturally wanted to take him under his command to enhance the strength and reputation of Lou Guan Dao. Qi Hui's trip was to discuss this matter with Wu Hou.
Wu Hou was born in the lineage of the Taoist True Lineage of the Taoist sect, and he was also the disciple of the former leader. If he took under his command all the talented people who can understand the Taoist True Lineage, it would cause the lineage of the True Lineage of the Daozu to become too big, and it would be called
Why are the various factions in the mainstream of Taoism so miserable?
The Louguan Taoist Master and the core members of the northern Taoist sect went south. Lei Hu did not receive them personally, but asked Master Qingxu to face the old Taoist lake. He had other important matters to deal with.
It is said that Sui Emperor Yang Jian was seriously ill, and the situation in Guanzhong was very tense.
There was no force thinking about rebellion. The Sui Dynasty was very powerful at this time. If anyone dared to make a fuss, they would inevitably end up defeated. Only a fool would do that.
However, seeing that Yang Jian's health was in poor condition, and at the time when the old and the new were changing, many forces were thinking of fishing in troubled waters to make a fortune for themselves and the family.
As the crown prince and the legitimate heir of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang's ascension to the throne is a sure thing. Unless Yang Jian suddenly makes a ruthless move to depose the crown prince, there will be no obstacles to his ascension to the throne.
However, the forces that were dissatisfied with Yang Guang's rise to power, or wanted to gain greater benefits, did not want him to take over the throne easily and safely.
For example, Buddhism is not very happy.
Once Yang Guang became emperor smoothly and safely, he would have to suppress the development of Buddhism. Who said that the Jianghu forces with the strongest support behind him were the Yin Kui sect?
As for the other three great clans, they have no personal grudge against Yang Guang. Unfortunately, the interests of the clans conflict with the interests of the dynasty. Yang Guang's prestige is far inferior to that of Yang Jian. Naturally, they want to take advantage of the critical moment of the transfer of the throne to do something for them.
He also gained more power and benefits for his family.
In short, Guanzhong is currently peaceful on the surface, but privately it is already full of undercurrents.
Originally, this had little to do with the southern forces. For example, the Lingnan Song Dynasty clan had no chance to participate and could only watch the turmoil in Guanzhong from afar.
But Thunder Tiger is different!
He is not a clan leader in the traditional sense, but a vassal power that has risen through military power.
Moreover, his relationship with the northern aristocratic families was average, and he did not have many conflicts of interest in the Daxing court in Guanzhong. The key point was that he also had the title of the best master in the world, which made him very popular as the prince Yang Guang.
While Yang Guang was in charge of Yangzhou, he had always maintained a good relationship with Wu Houling. At this time, he thought of asking Lei Hu to go north to Tongguan to intimidate Xiaoxiao.
There is no way, there are too many forces who want to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
In addition to the important officials within the imperial court and aristocratic families, even the Turks outside the country were not very peaceful.
Sui Emperor Yang Jian made a stupid move for some unknown reason and actually helped Qimin Kehan of the Turks to unify the chaotic Eastern Turks. Do you really think that this man was loyal to the Sui Dynasty?
If civil strife breaks out in the Sui Dynasty, will this Turkic hero raise his troops and go south?
At this time, the strength of the Eastern Turks was quite astonishing. The land area controlled by the millionaires was no smaller than that of the Great Sui Dynasty. They were also assisted by top masters such as Martial Master Bi Xuan and Demon Commander Zhao Deyan. They were definitely not easy to deal with.
In particular, Martial Master Bixuan and Demon Commander Zhao Deyan are both well-known strong players in the world. Once they take advantage of the critical moment of the Sui Dynasty's succession to cause trouble, it will be a big trouble.
Therefore, Yang Guang didn't know whether it was because of his own thoughts or because of suggestions from his staff, but he wanted to invite Lei Hu to go north, not to mention participating in the disputes in Guanzhong, but at least to shock the Martial Lord Bi Xuan and the Demon Commander Zhao Deyan who were about to move on the grassland.
, allowing the situation in Guanzhong to calm down.
The price given was not a small price. In addition to Kuaiji County, which Lei Hu was tentatively asking for at the beginning, Danyang County was also generously added to the offer.
Lei Hu couldn't help but be moved. Where is Danyang County?
It was the Jiankang area at this time, which could be said to be the most prosperous and prosperous area on the south bank of the Yangtze River before the development of Wu Houling. It was an absolutely sacred place.
Yang Guang's handiwork was not insignificant. Even though he knew there were big problems inside, Lei Hu had to accept it.
Once he had Wu Jun, Kuaiji and Danyang in his hands, Lei Hu would control the essence of the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later generations, as well as the essence of the places south of the Su Gaoguan River.
The water system here is continuous, water transportation is developed, the land is fertile and it is an important grain-producing area, and most of the southern population and Han people are concentrated here. It is definitely a rare treasure for Leihu.
He lacks nothing now, the food production in the territory is quite abundant, and the commerce is developed and the people live a stable life, even the life of the people in the elite land of Guanzhong is not comparable.
Unfortunately, there is a serious lack of population in the territory. Although Lei Hu tried every means, in addition to the initial official road repair project that used civilian labor, the remaining canal excavation projects and a series of other projects were all purchased by
As the main force of labor, prisoners no longer consumed too much people's energy.
Then there are all kinds of incentives and reputations, and even an unprecedentedly strict and complete reward system, as well as a more complete medical education and orphan care mechanism. It almost took all the efforts of sucking milk, and it took more than ten years to reduce the population of the territory.
It just passed two million and reached the level of two million and three hundred thousand.
There is no way, the population base of the entire territory was too small before, and the various southern people who migrated there were only 800,000. In the past ten years, it can reach close to 2.5 million mainly through fertility, which is quite good.
According to Lei Hu and the Hou Mansion's staff, who solicited opinions from local governments and garrisons, as well as core personnel of the Production and Construction Corps, it is estimated that the next population explosion will occur in ten years, when the newborn children have fully grown up.
Now, with more than 100,000 babies being born every year, Lei Hu and the staff of the Hou Mansion must be very happy.
However, if Lei Hu can control the two counties of Kuaiji and Danyang at this time, the population under his rule will suddenly exceed four million, or even reach around 4.5 million!
This is already remarkable. You must know that when Nanchen was destroyed, the population on the official household registration was just over two million. It is simply a big joke.
In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the south, mostly in the Wuyue land and the Lingnan border further south, but they have nothing to do with the elite areas in the south.
After more than ten years of stable life, even if the medical standards are poor, the population is slowly rising.
Lei Hu is very confident. After he completely controls Kuaiji and Danyang, with the territory's pro-birth policy and the gradually improved medical system, there will be another explosive period of population growth.
Ten years from now, Zhi Bu is not sure that the population of the territory under his jurisdiction will exceed 10 million!
When that time comes, it is not impossible to wait for Yang Guang to commit suicide and capture the entire south first, and then send his troops northward, so that the south can dominate the north in advance.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the territory must be able to expand smoothly without too much turmoil and twists and turns.
Of course Lei Hu knew the reason why Yang Guang was willing to place such a heavy bet, but he didn't care.
As long as he is in charge of the territory, no matter who is evil or evil, he will have to stand aside. If he is not honest and disobedient, he will be sent to a labor camp. Anyway, there is always a lack of labor here.
Of course, the premise is that he must agree to immediately go north to Tongguan to help Yang Guang intimidate Xiao Xiaocai.
Naturally, Lei Hu would not give up such an opportunity lightly.
He had already agreed with his master, Old Taoist Qingxu, that this time he would go to the north in person, and the territory would be left to Old Taoist Qingxu to take care of.
At the same time, he also said hello to the representatives of the Holy Sect stationed in the territory, and even communicated with Song Que, the leader of the Song Dynasty in Lingnan. Song Que would personally take action in case of emergency.
