Chapter 1258

~18 min read 3,575 words

Thinking that since he had to report to His Majesty, and maybe lend it to several Grand Secretaries to discuss, he had to polish it a little—

"Dragon head shrinks, pig belly swells." The Holy Emperor closed the pages again, laughing and scolding, "How many years have you been in the academy, pretending to be a big tail wolf, speak plain language."

Liang Qu coughed: "The people burn fire to cook, the demand for fuel is huge, and they can't afford precious fire stones to replace it. Relying on planting trees alone cannot eradicate it. The more trees are planted, the cheaper the firewood, the cost drops, the more people, the more they cut, boiling water to stop boiling.

But if we can use the fire attribute divine ability order to replace wood firewood, enter the home, help burn fire to cook, we can completely eradicate this situation, effectively expand the forest, use plant roots to conserve upstream water and soil, completely clarify the Yellow Sand Great River, and change its name!"

"There are indeed fire attribute divine ability orders in the treasure house, but how to transport them to thousands of households?"

"Your Majesty, why do we need to do it in one battle? Fire attribute divine ability orders are like open-air fire stone mines in the Northern Court. Using fire stones to forge weapons is also not a one-step process. We need to organize miners, mining, cleaning, classifying grades, and then selling them to different forging shops—"

"More expensive!"

"The person who ties the bell must untie it. Your Majesty, this whole set does not necessarily need people, and can also be solved by supporting divine ability orders. Just like today's vortex escape path, spider webs spread, we can use one for burning, one for transporting, used in pairs."

Liang Qu stretched out two fingers and put them together.

"You really know how to think, dare to think. Divine ability orders have only appeared for five or six years, and they have been used for a short time. You think so far, so wide. But they are all castles in the air, whimsical. How can divine ability orders be so easy to make?" The Holy Emperor supported his forehead, "Need Perfected Form, and even more need corresponding Perfected Form divine abilities. To prepare them, we need a set of costs. According to what you said, one county one set, one set two pieces, simply astronomical figures."

"Uh, Your Majesty, you can't say that. Perfected Form is already there, make the best use of everything after death, it's not—cough, cough. Our Great Shun Heavenly Dynasty, should have a long-term vision. Now it doesn't work, doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Now it can't be done, doesn't mean it won't be done, and we won't strive in this direction. Where there is a will, there is a way."

Liang Qu didn't think so, and tried hard to persuade, "In my heart, Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages, the sun in the sky, bringing warmth and brilliance. As long as you want, there is nothing that cannot be done. I am your sharpest spear, say who to stab, stab who—"

Emperor of the ages?

The hall had echoes.

Suddenly a heavyweight word popped out.

The two rows of attendants looked at each other.

They had heard of praising people as wise monarchs, virtuous monarchs—

"Oh? Emperor of the ages?" The Holy Emperor heard this evaluation for the first time, fresh and rare, even with a faint sense of coolness, "Is my evaluation in Liang Qing's heart so high?"

"More than that, Your Majesty works hard, studies divine ability orders, many people have short-sighted vision, don't understand the greatness in it. In my opinion, it is simply an earth-shattering feat, and the evaluation can still rise!

If there is a divine ability seed order in the future, it is completely an emperor of ten thousand ages; if we use the divine ability seed order to complete what I said, and spread it to all aspects, it is an emperor of ten thousand ages. In the past, the Great Li Taizu controlled the world's sects, only worthy of carrying Your Majesty's shoes! Far inferior!" Liang Qu presented his resignation generously.

Emperor of the ages is considered a word composed of some ink in the belly.

The back of ten thousand ages, ten thousand ages is "rough", neither fish nor fowl.

The Holy Emperor wanted to laugh, but was attracted by a word: "Divine ability seed order?"

"Yeah, in the past, there were only Wu Sheng rituals in the world, no Grandmaster divine ability orders. Now our Great Shun can complete the unprecedented demotion production, why can't we demote another layer?

Throughout the ages, martial arts, literature, and technology have been constantly developing, just like wheels rolling. The first extraordinary transformation of techniques and martial arts in the true sense is the divine ability seed at the Hunting Tiger stage!

In one county, two Hunting Tiger Great Martial Artists are more than enough. The cost drops by an order of magnitude, isn't it easy?

It's just that the channel construction is troublesome. Hunting Tiger divine ability seeds cannot be as dense and wide as Perfected Form divine abilities, perhaps we need to use quantity to make up for it—" Liang Qu said while thinking.

The Holy Emperor was speechless for a while, his eyes showing shock, and Liang Qu opened up a brand new train of thought.

It sounds quite reasonable?

Divine ability order, in essence, is the leap development of ritual production, and then leap to divine ability seed—

Seeing the Holy Emperor moved, Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot.

"The most critical thing is that if we can really lay out a whole set, we can feed back into the Imperial Court's financial treasury!

Your Majesty can imagine, two or three hundred years later, one county stations one divine ability office, directly controlled by the Imperial Court, priced at one coin for half an hour, and can directly supply fuel.

People have convenient railways and waterways when they go out, traffic is everywhere, chickens and dogs can hear each other, live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is convenient—the key to people's livelihood is no longer controlled by local gentry, but all controlled by the Imperial Court.

Those who come and go, all shout long live Your Majesty, emperor of the ages, virtuous monarch of ten thousand years! If I were a local virtuous person, I would be grateful and have to build a three-zhang statue in the town center square. If I were the Minister of Revenue and Works, I would have to allocate funds to choose a big mountain and carve it into the Holy Emperor Mountain—"

"Okay, okay! You're getting more and more energetic, right?" The Holy Emperor shouted, "I already know, Liang Qing, step down first, go to the Qin Tian Jian first, look at the Yellow Shahe map, and write a page on lowering the riverbed as soon as possible."

"Understood, the relevant things I just said are all written on the pages—"

"I know, I will discuss it with the Grand Secretaries."

A while later.

The Qin Zheng Hall returned to silence.

Incense floated.

The Holy Emperor flipped through the pages, his thoughts floating, and he always felt that the conversation just now was strange. It took a long time to figure out what was going on.

It was always him entrusting others with heavy responsibilities and depicting grand blueprints. Today, Liang Qu actually depicted a grand blueprint and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities—"Strange—heh, I am the emperor of the ages? Holy Emperor Mountain?"

The Holy Emperor laughed.

Youth is good.

If others said this, it would definitely be extremely flattering, enough for the censor to impeach. Youth just looks sincere and lively. Not to mention, the road is so smooth, it's strange that he doesn't look like someone who would flatter, and it's strange that he hasn't become unruly.

The Duke of Liang is a counterexample.

"Emperor of the ages?"

After browsing the pages, the Holy Emperor tapped the table.

"Someone."

The attendant stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty."

"Today's noon meeting is also canceled, summon the Cabinet Grand Secretaries, and summon the Duke of Xu, the Duke of Liang—come, by the way.

Lan Jicai of the Qin Tian Jian, Zhang Junliang of the Heavenly Engineering Institute, call them both over."

"Obey."

The sky light moved south, and the shadows blurred to sharp.

At noon, heavy snow fell outside the city, but it was still sunny and spring-like in the Imperial Palace.

Lan Jicai came out of the Qin Zheng Hall first, looked at the sun above his head, and was confused. He had a sense of dizziness when he stood up suddenly after squatting in the toilet for a long time when he was not cultivating.

"Divine ability seed order? How to do this thing? Which heaven-killing person, randomly painting cakes for His Majesty? Must be a sycophant!"

Three days passed in a flash.

The cooperation area of the Qin Tian Jian and the Heavenly Engineering Institute divided another half of the empty area, piled up wood, prepared high buildings, the clerk found nails, and inserted temporary signs on the ground.

Left the Imperial Palace.

"Sycophant" had no free time, was taken by the attendant to the Qin Tian Jian.

Hundreds of years is the root cure, but the appearance of the Yellow Sand Long Wang has no such time.

When the Yellow Sand Long Wang fell, the struggle between Great Qian and Great Shun was at its peak, and later there were entanglement for more than twenty years before successfully establishing the country. Now it is eighty years of Great Shun, and it is almost at the "critical point". Counting the time, it is actually the same time as the old Dragon Lord.

Wait.

"Old Dragon Lord?"

Liang Qu stopped.

"Your Highness?" The attendant turned back.

"Nothing, continue to lead the way."

In the Qin Tian Jian, Lan Jicai was temporarily called to meet the Holy Emperor for a meeting. It was Zheng Muxin, the second-in-command of the Qin Tian Jian, who entertained the Prince of Huai. He took the stairs to the first floor underground of the Qin Tian Jian to watch the Ten Thousand Rivers Map.

The map is very spectacular, a full mile long, stretching underground, it is the Ministry of Works, Qin Tian Jian, and even the Ministry of War, cooperating with each other, and jointly made. At this moment, the Yellow Shahe and its surroundings are listed separately, becoming a narrow strip, with mountain and river trends.

The Qin Tian Jian has the Four Wilds Heaven Instrument above, and the Ten Thousand Rivers Map below, which fits the principles of heaven and earth nature.

"If you really intend to cultivate a Long Wang, how should you come?"

"Don't know." Zheng Muxin admitted.

"Don't know?"

"How the true spirit of heaven is born is too complicated. There is no saying that it can be created directly. Many laws are inferred and are still being explored. This plan was also first proposed by the Southern Border. After obtaining the position fruit, we are currently trying to steal how it works."

Liang Qu nodded, knowing in his heart.

On the way to the Qin Tian Jian just now, he suddenly realized a key problem.

Can the old Dragon Lord go to the Yellow Shahe?

Separated by ten thousand years, the residual soul of the Xiao Xiao Shenlong is too residual. The old Dragon Lord is different, its state is actually much better, especially letting him help break a mouth of the Long Wang Cave, helping to recover—

Once successful, the whole situation will loosen by one point!

Separated by a year, he really has to go to the underworld again. The cheap apprentices Xi Ziyu and Lao Mengyao have been accepted for two years.

Well, set off after returning from Shuofang Terrace, and by the way, see if the Ghost Mother Sect ritual can be moved to the Ze Kingdom to avoid trouble.

"Prince of Huai, please look here, the Yellow Shahe flows into the East Sea downstream, all are above-ground rivers, with a total length of 28,400 li, basically at three zhang, and some places even reach six zhang and above—"

"No, the soil quality here is soft, sinking from here, if you are not careful, it is very easy to cause a dam break—"

Liang Qu discussed with the Ministry of Works officials and inserted small flags at the nodes.

He didn't read many formal books with flowery rhetoric, mainly because he was good at special attacks on the old toad. As for others, he was a Heposuo official for ten years, and Liang Qu knew a lot about corresponding knowledge reserves, especially going to the Hanging Temple, six desires heaven degree heart demon, directly practiced for a lifetime.

It's just that after Perfected Form, the quantity level transformed, and the role he could play became greater and greater. He began to play a role between forces, rather than on the water management of the Heposuo.

Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, Jin Xiaoyu and other martial hall disciples were still waiting at the post station. Liang Qu directly organized them to go to the Tianyu Martial Hall and Longxiang Martial Hall in the Imperial Capital for exchange and learning, and he stayed in the Qin Tian Jian to solve eating, drinking, and sleeping, lying for three days, barely completing a preliminary plan.

Another full day of discussion.

Fifth day.

The Bai Yu Palace appeared, and the red clouds moved again.

Too late to say hello to the old colleagues who returned to the Imperial Capital for the New Year, Liang Qu set off in a hurry and returned to Heyuan Prefecture!

"River Stone" moved.

The Prince of Huai stayed for five days, once again proving Great Shun's importance, roughly grasping the bottom line of conditions, and the Northern Court sent information to the delegation again.

"No osmanthus cake, no Bai Yu Palace!" The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong put its hands on its hips.

"Stinky fart!"

"Average, average, not as good as Cao Shixiong Xu." The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong floated in mid-air and waved its claws.

"I am an adult, I don't have the same knowledge as a little fart dragon without horns."

"Bold! You! You! You! Invert black and white! Talk nonsense! Isn't this a horn? Ah, isn't it?" The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong stroked the dragon horn on its head and shouted, "Ha, nothing to say, right?"

——

Xu Zishuai stopped at the point, after all, he couldn't beat this troublesome thing if he was in a hurry, turned his head and waved: "Cao Shixiong, Ashui, Junior Sister, Nephew, gone! No need to send."

"Didn't intend to send, take the waterway, just a few quarters of an hour, it's not like I can't come. After the martial hall is busy during the day, come back and continue to live at night." Liang Qu laughed.

"Also, get, sentimental, hurry back and get busy, Cao Shixiong take care."

"Good!" Yang Xu waved.

After the New Year, the Huaiyin Martial Hall is about to start school, old students have to be arranged, new students have to be recruited, Xu Zishuai and others have to return early to prepare, Yang Dongxiong and the Xu family are not in a hurry.

Sent off a few Senior Brothers, Liang Qu returned to the middle courtyard.

Snow was deep, Tatta Kai led the way, Peng spread its wings, Golden Chicken stood alone, the little river otters lined up behind, carrying water buckets, at the end of the team, Wen Wen Shi Yun hung heavy objects on her body, stood in a horse stance, sweating profusely, steaming a head of heat in the middle of winter, as if it had been like this all along.

"Taking advantage of me going out to be lazy? Add a quarter of an hour of training, eh—I am a Heaven Dragon, think about how to talk back, don't admit it after doing it, punish two quarters of an hour!"

Wen Wen Shi Yun: "—Yes."

Liang Qu nodded with satisfaction and stepped into the corridor.

"Did you hear that, children are not allowed to be lazy~" The little lip dragon drifted past, wiping its claws across the dragon horn while drifting.

Wen Wen Shi Yun:

Returned to the backyard, Liang Qu continued to study the above-ground river and improve the rectification plan.

In the Ten Thousand Rivers Map in the Qin Tian Jian, a puff of mist from the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong can produce a 100% replica, zoom in and out at will, extremely convenient, like a three-dimensional laser model.

During the study, He Ningyuan's guards came to report.

"Okay, I know, I'll go find General He later." Liang Qu nodded solemnly.

Wen Wen Shi Yun watched the soldiers leave, feeling itchy, staring at the copper pot dripping to count, seeing the arrow shaft not reaching the corresponding scale, immediately threw off the heavy objects on her body, left the river otter team, rushed to find Liang Qu, poured a cup of tea on the table, wiped her mouth.

"Master, Master, that was General He's guard just now, right? I've seen him, what did he want from you? Is it that the negotiation between us and the Northern Court has a result?"

"Result or not, what does it have to do with a four-gate little cultivator like you?" Liang Qu didn't look up, inserted a small flag on the map, and made a note.

"The country's major affairs, every man has a share, you contribute, I cheer, our master and apprentice are of one heart, like a tiger with wings!"

"So good at talking, you should be a lobbyist, help Great Shun negotiate, strive for benefits."

"That's fine, throwing away the military and taking up the pen, all for the country, Master, you open your golden mouth, go through the back door, and stuff me into the delegation."

"You're so capable." Liang Qu put down the brush, "Almost, the basic details have been finalized, only some scraps are left, just wait for both sides to send people to sign the agreement, announce it to the world, and then exchange materials, estimated to take another month and a half."

"Wow, then did it exchange or not."

"Exchange!"

"Master, a whole city, a fortress, a long wall."

"Of course I know it's a whole one, it's a fortress, otherwise it wouldn't be able to exchange for a position fruit."

"Then which one is better?"

"Both are good." Liang Qu thought for a while, "Taking the city is to enhance strategic space, more resistant to beating, external martial arts strengthening, just need time and effort to digest. Taking the position fruit is to enhance our internal, enrich resource output, internal martial arts cultivation to a higher level, and reduce possible chaos in the future.

Agreeing to exchange now means everyone feels there is profit to be made. For the Northern Court, it is a small position fruit that they can't use much, exchanged for their own armor, everyone takes what they need."

"Then what about the half-body of the Wu Sheng that the Northern Court wants? Returning it won't speed up the recovery of that king, right?" Wen Wen Shi Yun pursued.

"No." Liang Qu shook his head, "The Northern Court asking for this thing, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning."

"Ah?"

"Once a person's limbs are broken, they will seek no leakage. Even if they can be connected, it is not as good as regrowth. The Northern Court Khan is not stupid, he will definitely not let the King of the Wonan River directly connect the broken limbs. That will only chill people's hearts, bleeding, sweating, and crying. He must search for creation medicine. Put it on our side, the half-body can't be made into a Wu Sheng ritual, maybe it can be made into two divine ability orders, or refined into pills—"

Wen Wen Shi Yun widened her eyes: "Can the body of a Wu Sheng be used to refine pills?"

"What's strange about this? Ordinary people can, Master I was almost refined into a fetal pearl pill back then. The feathers of great demons can make spiritual weapons, dragon king flesh and blood is precious medicine, all things are connected, demon is okay, people are okay, cultivation comes out, it is equivalent to precious medicine.

Half a Wu Sheng, equivalent to several top-grade creation medicines?

But the Northern Court wants it back, it's impossible to say that the body is refined into pills and distributed. At most, the King of the Wonan River eats it himself. The important thing is to buy people's hearts, and the sick tiger is the same."

"Oh~" Wen Wen Shi Yun suddenly realized, "Then—"

"Why so many questions, high-minded and low-handed, rest time is up, go stand for another half an hour!"

" "

After passing the message to the Prince of Huai today, He Ningyuan began to vaguely release news, preparing the soldiers psychologically.

Most people don't know what a position fruit is. Using a city to exchange, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction, need to pave the way first.

March.

A heavy news smashed into a giant wave!
