Chapter 102: Return Journey

Yin Qi's eyes were blurred with a thin layer of cyan light, seeing a world he had never seen before.

First of all, the colors of all things in the world became more vivid.

Secondly, the world was filled with various lights, such as the red light covering the prefecture yamen, full of great and rigid energy;

For example, on everyone's head, there was luck essence of varying lengths.

Some luck essence was pure and flawless, while some luck essence was mixed with various miscellaneous colors.

Even in his eyes, even the earth was steaming with color.

Yin Qi's heart moved, he jumped a few times and stood on the highest building of the prefecture yamen, looking out, the earth that was originally covered by black mist was being squeezed away by the white mist that was constantly steaming up.

Yin Qi realized something.

This should be the earth energy!

All things in the world have luck, heaven has heavenly luck, earth has earth luck, the country has national luck, and people have human luck.

The earth energy he saw, in some respects, is earth luck.

Covered by black mist, it is naturally an ominous place.

Covered by white mist, it is a peaceful place.

………

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was almost three months.

All village construction had long been completed, and building bridges and paving roads had also officially ended, and now only the water conservancy projects were finishing up.

However, before the three-month period arrived, they should all be able to finish work.

As early as half a month ago, with the completion of all villages, the prefecture yamen sent people to notify all commoners, preparing to sell the built brick and tile houses to them, each house only needing five taels of silver.

When they got this news, all the commoners were ecstatic, because these brick and tile houses were built by them, each occupying one mu of land, with six or seven rooms, and a courtyard of one mu of land.

Although five taels of silver is a lot, their whole family went out to work for three months, and they could almost earn more than five taels.

Therefore, buying a brick and tile house was more than enough.

Such houses were unimaginable to them in the past, so naturally they were extremely enthusiastic, and all the houses were sold out.

At the same time, the brick and tile kilns, pottery kilns, furniture factories, mining, smelting, and other factories built in various places were also sold to local individuals under the auspices of the prefecture yamen, and a large amount of money was also recovered.

According to the accounting of the prefecture yamen, even after paying off Yin Qi's debts, there was still a surplus, which made Prefect Jiang Yi and the others admire Yin Qi to the point of throwing themselves on the ground, and they completely became Yin Qi's loyal followers.

Disaster relief became richer the more it was relieved, who could do this?

When the three-month period arrived, all water conservancy projects were also completed.

Now Hongzhou's rivers and canals lead to every village and every piece of fertile land, and bridges have been built over all rivers.

This post-disaster reconstruction is a huge project, if it weren't for the help of cultivators, just relying on these commoners, they might not be able to complete it even if given three years.

It can be said that starting from this year, Hongzhou will gradually become the most prosperous place in Great Shang.

…………

Hongcheng.

Prefecture Yamen.

The last night before departure.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, his consciousness sinking into his mind, and he saw countless light spots coming from all directions, pouring into the altar one after another, and he saw that nearly half of the lines on the first layer of the altar had been activated, presenting bright colors.

In Hongzhou, he is already a Buddha of ten thousand families.

Almost every household worships his divine altar.

Although it experienced a flood, Hongzhou still has a population of nearly ten million.

They worship day and night, and the incense produced is very considerable.

"Perhaps in less than two months, all the runes on the first layer of this altar will be activated, and then the altar will have new functions."

Thinking of this, Yin Qi was very expectant.

…………

The next day.

Yin Qi set off to leave Hongcheng, and tens of thousands of commoners spontaneously saw him off for more than a hundred miles.

He persuaded them again and again, but the commoners just refused to leave.

In the end, he could only order the Flood Dragon Guards to speed up and gallop away.

This time he returned to Zhaoge, in addition to the three hundred Flood Dragon Guards, there were also a hundred cultivators following, all of whom were cultivators specializing in the hundred professions of immortal cultivation such as array formation, alchemy, and artifact refining.

They were willing to follow Yin Qi, partly because of their future, and partly because they were conquered by Yin Qi's charm.

For these people, Yin Qi was naturally willing to accept them.

Although the highest cultivation among these people was only at the Golden Core Realm, and they were generally at the Foundation Establishment Realm, it didn't matter.

He didn't need them to go to the battlefield, just practice alchemy and artifact refining at home.

For the future, he had a grander plan in his heart, and he needed a large number of cultivators who were studying the hundred professions of immortal cultivation.

………

One day later.

Zhaoge.

Imperial Palace.

Zichen Hall.

Di Yi was wearing a white Xuan Bird imperial robe, wearing a golden jade crown, full of majesty.

He sat in front of the imperial desk, with two scrolls of silk in front of him.

One wrote the word 'Qi', and one wrote the word 'Shou'.

In front of the imperial desk, there were also three middle-aged men with strict demeanor, who were Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, Prime Minister Shang Rong, and Grand Preceptor Bi Gan.

The three-month period had arrived, and the disaster relief records of Yin Qi and Yin Shou had also been sent to Zhaoge in a very short time.

Although Di Yi's voice was a bit old, it was still mellow, saying: "I summoned the three ministers this time, I suppose you have guessed what it is about?"

Bi Gan smiled slightly: "Imperial brother, is it that the disaster relief records of Yin Qi and Yin Shou have been sent?"

"Not bad. This is Yin Shou's, take a look!"

Di Yi said, handing out the silk scroll with the word 'Shou'.

Bi Gan hurriedly stepped forward, held the silk scroll with both hands, and then retreated to his original position before opening it.

The silk scroll was about half a meter long and full of words.

Wen Zhong and Shang Rong leaned over from left and right, and the three of them looked down at the content above.

Soon, the three of them changed their faces.

Di Yi asked: "How do you think Yin Shou did?"

Shang Rong bowed slightly and said first: "They all say that Prince Shou has divine martial arts, I didn't expect him to be so good at handling government affairs.

He did disaster relief in Jianzhou, and everything was done in place.

Cracking down on hoarding, investigating corrupt officials, and visiting various places personally.

Even if other experienced officials were sent, they might not do better than him."

This evaluation of his was really high.

Di Yi smiled slightly and looked at Wen Zhong and Bi Gan.

Wen Zhong bowed and said: "Great King, I agree with the Prime Minister's words, Prince Shou did indeed do very well."

Bi Gan just nodded and didn't say much.

It could be seen that they were all shocked by Yin Shou's ability.

He hadn't shown it before, not because he didn't have this ability, but because he didn't have this opportunity.

After all, Yin Shou was only eighteen years old, and most of his time was spent practicing martial arts.

Thinking of this, they were already secretly leaning toward Yin Shou, because compared to Yin Qi, Yin Shou's divine martial arts was a big plus.

Di Yi smiled lightly, with a hint of mystery in his smile.

He picked up the silk scroll with the word 'Qi' and handed it to Wen Zhong and the others.

The monarch and ministers had been together for decades, and Wen Zhong and the others were very familiar with Di Yi, so when they saw Di Yi's mysterious smile, they couldn't help but move in their hearts, could it be that Yin Qi did better?

But this is impossible.

In their view, Yin Shou had already done very well, and everything was done in place.

Even if Yin Qi was powerful again, it would be difficult to have any advantage.

Wen Zhong was curious, he stepped out first, took the silk scroll from Di Yi's hand, and then retreated to open the silk scroll, not expecting that this silk scroll was actually one and a half meters long, three times longer than Yin Shou's disaster relief record. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
