Chapter 497: The Inhabited Tribe
Coincidentally, many knowledgeable people in Nanxia were on their way to Guancheng.
Because they rescued Cao's family on the way, Cao Zeng also refused to return to the capital to serve the court, so the group prepared to return directly to the capital.
But at this moment, Jizhou prefect Bai Yi did not shy away from suspicion and visited Luo Tingshan.
Ask Luo Tingshan to help drive away the Huns.
Luo Tingshan rejected this in his heart.
Not to mention the distant capital, there is also Prince Huai nearby.
As a hated person, it would be a waste of effort and probably not even worth the effort for him to lead the troops to drive out the Huns.
Bai Yi's expression was serious. "General, in times of crisis, everyone has a responsibility. As for the general sent by the court, it's Lai Yuan, General Yu's nephew. You should know him better than I do. After Lai Yuan arrived in Jizhou, he led an army of 30,000, but now more than half of them have been lost. And the Xiongnu have even directly occupied a city in Jizhou."
"If he continues to fight, I'm really worried."
Bai Yi was a good official who cared about the people, but the problem with good officials was that they were unpopular.
He repeatedly reported Lai Yuan's situation in Jizhou to the court, but the court ignored him.
As for Prince Huai, there is no need to mention it. As long as his fiefdom is well, why waste military forces?
Luo Tingshan frowned slightly: "Where is the Jizhou General?"
Bai Yi sighed: "I'm sick and can no longer go to the battlefield."
He said sincerely, "General, I don't ask you to go to the battlefield yourself. As long as you can send a reliable person to drive those people out of Jizhou and return peace to the people, we will be grateful!"
Luo Tingshan pursed his lips and said, "Aren't you afraid?"
If anything happens to me, Governor Bai’s future will be in jeopardy.
Bai Yi snorted coldly, "In today's world, there are internal and external troubles. I, as an official, must have a clear conscience and protect the peace of the people."
Hearing this, Luo Tingshan's heart moved.
When I first entered the military camp, I also said that I would protect the peace of the people, but I was really disappointed with this court that harbored corruption.
Luo Tingshan had heard of Bai Yi. When he was sent to serve as a county magistrate in a remote city, he almost lost his job because he offended a branch of the Liang family.
But Bai Yi was a stubborn man. He was determined to speak up for the people and directly killed his son from a side branch.
The matter was a big deal at the time, and it was Pei Shangling who stepped forward and provided guarantees for the person.
Luo Tingshan felt that the upright character was very much to his liking.
"Should Lord Bai, what can I get if I help you solve this problem?" Luo Tingshan was very direct. There were more and more brothers behind him, and they would not allow him to do whatever he wanted.
Bai Yi said solemnly, "I promise General Luo that as long as it doesn't harm the people, I will do whatever you want!"
Luo Tingshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking a lot in his mind. After taking Youzhou, it would not be impossible to take Jizhou, right?
Bai Yi left with a smile.
Zhu Mingqing knew that they would continue to stay in Jizhou, so he was not in a hurry to return to Guancheng.
Because the little world spirit finally found the reason why the immortal palace was repaired for the fifth time.
Cao Zeng surrendered.
Zhu Mingqing was greatly surprised.
Cao Zeng alone can withstand more than 170,000 points of favorability, and there are still some left.
The little world spirit also studied for several days and finally found a shortcut to repair it.
"Cao Zeng is a rare general in the army, and he can play a decisive role. As long as he is alive, he can play a decisive role in future battlefields and reduce casualties. The merits he has accumulated are also due to you."
Zhu Mingqing suddenly realized that collecting such great talents could also be considered as accumulating favorability.
"I saved Luo Tingshan and Han Jing earlier, so why haven't I seen any changes in the Immortal Mansion?"
In response to this, the little world spirit explained that the former still had 50,000 debts behind him, and the latter was just a young man who had just started out and had no achievements.
Zhu Mingqing: Okay, you are right.
But since this is the fifth repair, the changes in the Immortal Palace should be very obvious, right?
That night, Zhu Mingqing couldn't wait to check the results.
Let’s talk about the Xianfu section first. Compared with the original one, it has expanded a million times, which means that the current area of Xianfu has reached 10 million acres.
What is the concept?
In modern times, it is one-third of the land area of Germany and 3.2 times the area of Shenzhen.
At a glance, the entire immortal residence was in perfect order under the planning of the little world spirit.
Agricultural areas, industrial areas, livestock areas...
What's more, in order to provide some entertainment for these lives in the fairy palace, an entertainment and leisure area was even established.
"What do you think? Am I very powerful?" The little world spirit asked for praise.
Zhu Mingqing gave a thumbs up: "Almighty!"
"Hey!" The little world spirit said quickly, "Let's go, there have been big changes in the lake this time."
It used to be just a lake of medium size, but now it has begun to branch out and become a river that can flow through all parts of the Immortal Palace. It is commonly known as the Mother River of the Immortal Palace.
"Qingqing, there's a salt lake over there."
Zhu Mingqing flew over quickly, and sure enough, there was a huge salt lake on a branch of the river not far from the house.
It is so white and crystal clear that people can't bear to destroy it.
Zhu Mingqing gently scooped up a handful and was surprised to find that the salt was fine, white and soft. It did not require any other processing and could be eaten directly after drying.
What's more, because of the constant nourishment from the fairy lakes, the benefits of salt to the human body are self-evident.
Zhu Mingqing swallowed his saliva. Salt, like iron ore, has always been controlled by the state in feudal society.
You know, if you can get a salt permit, you won’t have to worry about your life, and even your descendants can lie back and enjoy themselves.
Although she is not short of money, no one would complain about having too much money.
Especially salt, which can control a country's economy.
In an instant, Zhu Mingqing thought of many ways to make money.
Suddenly, countless waves surged on the calm water ahead.
"Qingqing, it's the Xi tribe!" The little world spirit shouted happily.
Countless tall humanoid species swam out from the sea and stood in front of Zhu Mingqing.
Zhu Mingqing was truly enlightened. These creatures could live both on land and in water, and most importantly, their appearance and body shape were almost no different from those of humans.
Of course, there are still subtle differences.
"Owner!"
The leader of the Xi tribe stepped forward, placed his right hand on his left shoulder, and bowed.
Other members of the tribe followed suit.
Zhu Mingqing coughed twice and said, "Please stand up. Hello everyone, it's our first meeting."
"Hello, master!" The leader of the Qi tribe was two meters tall, and it was difficult for Zhu Mingqing to look up at him. However, the other party was able to notice him and just stood in a low place.
What an IQ!
"My dear, the Xi people are the most important creatures in the Immortal Palace. They are well versed in water and spend most of their time on land. They are also very intelligent and loyal."
Zhu Mingqing is more concerned about what they can do?
The little world spirit said proudly, "As long as it's in the water, there's nothing they can't do. They're incredibly strong, and their skin can't even be scratched by steel. They can be said to be perfect underwater explorers!"
Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up.
As soon as the salt lake appeared, the Qi tribe arrived.
Does God also want her to conquer the sea?
…
The next day, on his way to find Luo Tingshan, Cao Zeng happened to meet Zhu Mingqing who had gotten up to exercise.
"Madam Zhu!" He said respectfully.
Zhu Mingqing greeted him with a smile and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Cao Zeng was stunned.
Did anything good happen this morning?
Mrs. Zhu's attitude towards him has become too obvious.
Arriving at Luo Tingshan's room, Cao Zeng told him what had just happened.
In response, Luo Tingshan smiled faintly: "Don't worry about her. If she wants to talk, she will know sooner or later. I called you here today because of the war on the border of Jizhou. General Cao, do you have any advice?"
Cao Zeng knew it was time to show off.
"At your service!"
