Chapter 499 Haotian is above, is this still a perverse and violent ghost?
After Yao Yun decided on the plan to open up wasteland and build a city on the Chishui River, the Xi Kingdom started to move up and down. Countless craftsmen, farmers, mountain people, and slaves of the Xi Kingdom rushed through the Qingqiu Mountains to the Chishui River, which was overgrown with weeds and dense riverbanks.
.
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. The development of a place begins with a flat road. As early as after the busy autumn harvest, Xi State began to recruit a large number of laborers to pave roads and build bridges, opening up the road from Xidu to Chishui River.
When the plan to open up wasteland and build a city began, this road had not yet been built. After all, it was quite troublesome to build roads in the mountains.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the mountain people of Xiguo gathered together and formed towns. Many roads were built in the mountains, which relieved a lot of burdens. Only the section of mountain roads in Qingqiu Mountain was quite laborious to build.
Those who have gained the right will get more help, while those who have lost the right will have less help. When the corvee of Xi Kingdom was building the mountain road, the nine-tailed foxes of Qingqiu Mountain extended a helping hand and could not help but assume the responsibility of protecting the people. At the same time, many little vixens also participated in building the road.
in labor.
The little vixens are carrying the wind, carrying wood and stones, and building roads and bridges. The scene is quite exciting!
At the beginning, the people were still scared and surprised, but after a few days, everyone got used to it. Both sides were quite harmonious and worked together to build roads and bridges.
Although road construction is going smoothly, its progress is far from keeping up with demand.
Reclaiming wasteland and building cities in the Chishui River Basin requires a large amount of materials. Food, clothing, iron and other necessities must be supplied at all times.
Iron tools are easy to deal with. Yao Yun used his small magical power [Exploring the Mountains and Exploring the Sea] to discover a new iron mine with a high yield in the mountains not far from the Chishui River. He used local materials to establish an iron smelting plant and a supporting blacksmith workshop.
It is enough to meet the needs of the construction of Chishui River and subsequent land reclamation.
As for food and clothing, which is the top priority, it must be continuously supplied to the newly built Chishui City, so this road is crucial.
Sun Muyue: "Your Majesty, this road is very important. At present, the spies to build the city on the Chishui River have not yet been deployed, and the supplies of materials are still in front of us. I would like to ask the king to send at least 50,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals to build the road and open up Xidu to the Chishui River as soon as possible.
path.”
Yao Yun naturally had no objection. Sun Muyue was in charge of the planning. She could mobilize Xiguo's manpower, but she needed to consult Yao Yun for all deployment of the ghost army, because only Yao Yun could command the ghost army.
"Okay, Prime Minister, please hand over a detailed note to arrange the work of the 50,000 ghost army. When night falls tonight, the 50,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals can start work immediately! In addition, Prime Minister, there is a witchcraft
The art of controlling ghosts is called Five Ghosts Carrying. Gu's magical power is even more powerful than that. Before the road is built, he can send out a hundred thousand ghost soldiers and ghost generals to carry food and supplies."
Yao Yun happily agreed, even if Sun Muyue didn't say it, he would mention it.
This matter is also related to the two clan elders, Miao Lao and Wuma. The two elders found out from somewhere that the road from Xidu to Chishui River has not been completed, so they immediately ran over with licking their faces and offered generous terms.
He claimed that he was willing to help Xi Guo and jointly manage Chishui City.
In this regard, Yao Yun refused, not because Yao Yun rejected the two of them, but the conditions of the two of them were indeed very good this time, and they were much more restrained than the last time the lion opened his mouth.
If it had been before, Yao Yun would have accepted it.
But now Yao Yun is preparing to "swallow and absorb" the Youxi clan members in the Xi Kingdom. Now the two clan elders have summoned a large number of Youxi clan members from their respective countries. Then Yao Yun will offend the entire Youxi clan in the future.
Yao Yun is not afraid of the Tiger Kingdom, but he does not want to expand the area of attack and put himself on the opposite side of more than ten countries with the Xi clan. This is not in Yao Yun's interests.
The two clan elders didn't know the secret, and they felt quite unhappy after being rejected.
Wuma said: "Young Master is too stubborn. We are not the Tiger Kingdom, and we have no intention of occupying the Xi Kingdom's fiefdom. We all get what we need, so what's wrong with that!"
Mr. Miao sighed: "Well, there is nothing we can do about it. The young master grew up in the Xi Kingdom. He did not come into contact with many people from the Youxi clan. He did not have deep feelings for the Youxi clan. Instead, he felt vaguely unfamiliar and unfamiliar.
Exclusion.”
Wu Ma snorted coldly: "Humph, Mr. Miao, in my opinion, the young master is headstrong and will not listen to other people's advice. I heard that Xiguo has the ability to control ghosts and can conquer ghosts for his own use. I am afraid that the young master is not confident."
That’s where it comes from!”
"I heard that the method of controlling ghosts has emerged in many countries in the Southern Wilderness in the past two years. I have seen the army of ghosts they raised in Mo Country."
"how?"
Mr. Miao shook his head: "Oh, it's hard to put it into words. It's better to be a slave than to use it. If the young master puts his hope in the army of ghosts, he will be in a hurry to seek medical treatment."
...
When dusk fell and night fell, the slaves who were working on road construction returned to the camp to rest one after another, and the army of ghosts who had received Yao Yun's orders came galloping from the mountains in a mighty manner to take over the unfinished work during the day.
This haunted house army is huge, with as many as 50,000 people.
However, among the many ghosts, there are no ghost kings above the third rank. There are only first and second rank ghost generals leading their own teams. Firstly, this is because the army of ghosts is not here to fight, but to build roads and bridges to do hard work. Naturally, the third rank ghost king is not condescending. Secondly,
It turns out that the ghost king is making too much noise, which can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
There is no problem in subduing ordinary ghost soldiers and generals. Not only the Xi Kingdom, but also other countries have raised a lot of them. For example, the Mo Kingdom now also raises thousands or even nearly ten thousand ghost soldiers.
Although the 50,000 ghost soldiers of the Xi Kingdom are many, they are barely acceptable.
If even a third-grade ghost king can be subdued, what will other countries in the Southern Wilderness who have suffered from ghosts for many years think? In the eyes of witches and wizards from other countries, ghost kings of third-grade and above cannot be subdued, and the Ghost Control Curse cannot control a powerful ghost king at all.
You don't need to think about it to know that Xiguo will become the target of public criticism.
Although Yao Yun mobilized 300,000 ghost soldiers and ghost generals, he would not send any ghost king. After all, there was too much movement to open up wasteland and build a city in Chishui River. All parties paid attention to it. Once the ghost king appeared, there would be an earthquake.
In comparison, the 300,000 ghost soldiers and generals seem to have more movement than the Ghost King, but their nature is different. Everyone can subdue the ghost soldiers and ghost generals, but the Ghost King cannot explain it.
Just as Yao Yun thought, when the army of ghosts was starting to work in a mighty manner, two old men with white hair and childlike faces quietly came over under the cover of night, just in time to see the army of ghosts in full swing building roads and bridges.
At first, a large number of ghosts brought axes, hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools from nearby camps and distributed them to each. Then the army of ghosts roared and took over the tools and began to work hard without complaint.
Some ghosts wield axes to cut through thorns, some dig stones to pave roads, some tamp the ground, some ghosts work together to move huge logs, and some ghosts... The ghosts of all sizes perform their duties and work silently.
Working in the fields, there are no supervisors or wizards around to watch.
Each of them is agile in their movements and skillful in their techniques. They are not lazy or slack off. Their level of seriousness is comparable to that of palace craftsmen. They strive for excellence and are meticulous.
"Haotian, is this still a perverse and violent ghost?"
In the mountain forest, the two clan elders were stunned and speechless!
