Chapter 770: Happy to Forget Zhao

The high-rise building gave Little Wei Yuan a feeling even more than the supermarket, but it was certain that taking down this building would inevitably yield massive gains.

The areas swept before were either residential areas or schools, occasionally with one or two abandoned factories, the equipment inside had long turned into flying ash, and only the factory ruins were still standing there.

It was conceivable that these areas had no technical content, while this high-rise building in front of him was completely different. Just its architectural structure, if studied clearly, could make Qingming's architectural technology advance by leaps and bounds.

The height of the Heavenly Cyan Palace also exceeded one hundred meters, but those were Daoist means. Many times, Master Xuanyue had to take action personally, refining brick embryos of a few feet square into a complete magic treasure, and finally refining the entire Heavenly Cyan Palace, so the hundred-meter Heavenly Cyan Palace was actually a huge architectural magic treasure.

From the perspective of the outer world, this method was simple and crude, but there was really no technical content, similar to children playing with blocks. In fact, in terms of materials, many materials in the outer world were far inferior to the natural materials of this world, and could not be compared with spiritual materials after refining.

For example, a spiritual wooden stick after refining was far harder than a steel stick of the same size, and its toughness was better, while the weight was less than 20% of steel. The mortals in the outer world could use materials that were not spiritual materials at all to build hundred-meter high-rises, and their exquisite craftsmanship was truly incredible.

In addition, the residual souls that could live in the high-rise should all be so-called high-level talents in the outer world. Most of them came from famous schools, were knowledgeable and had a good memory, and should be able to remember many things learned in school, unlike Xu Wenwu and that poor student, whose brains were empty, all their knowledge was returned to the school and teachers, and most of the books in the library were blank when opened.

But the building was dangerous, so Little Wei Yuan was not in a hurry to explore, but continued to build the road. This time he sat in town personally, built the light path around the building for a whole circle, and isolated the building area, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Little Wei Yuan built a larger road on the outer circle and added another layer of insurance. After the two circles of light paths were built, three months had passed, but finally the building was firmly closed, and several wisps of Dao Profound Qi were harvested.

In the three months, Little Wei Yuan stayed in the World Fragment for most of the time, controlling through various clones. Xiang Rong and other three counties were miserable under Little Wei Yuan's continuous high pressure, and banditry in the three counties was increasingly rampant. Little Wei Yuan, as the Southern Military Minister, turned a blind eye to the banditry, which made the families have no way to seek help.

The horse bandits were extremely cruel. Some wealthy families recruited cultivators overnight, bought military equipment, built a guard team of more than a thousand people, and spent a lot of money to invite Dharma Form cultivators to sit in the house.

However, the horse bandits still came to the door, and two or three hundred horse bandits beat the thousand guards until they couldn't even find the north. The Dao Foundation cultivators who were usually arrogant and called themselves ancestors couldn't even take three moves in front of the horse bandits, and in the blink of an eye, they were cut into two pieces together with their flying swords.

Everyone hurriedly invited Dharma Form high-level cultivators, but didn't expect that there was blood everywhere in the house, and the Dharma Form only left a few blood-stained clothes, while the people didn't know where they went. But looking at the bloodstains all over the house, it was thought that they were more ominous than auspicious.

In the blink of an eye, the mansion was broken, and the horse bandits searched out the genealogy, then called names according to the genealogy, grabbed all the direct descendants of the long house, and waited for the ransom.

The gold, silver, and jewelry in the mansion were swept away, and the young and beautiful women were not spared, and then the land deeds searched out were all burned. On the spot, some clan elders cried bitterly, and even fainted from crying. These few moves of the horse bandits were digging the roots of their families!

Wealthy families were all like this, no one could stop the horse bandits' surprise attack. The richest man in the county even invited three Dharma Forms in one breath. As a result, before the horse bandits came to the door, two of the three Dharma Forms died strangely, looking at the corpses, it seemed they were bitten to death by wild beasts. The third Dharma Form didn't even want the reward, and ran away overnight.

After a few battles, everyone was finally desperate, and they couldn't count on the official army either.

Everyone had already guessed the origin of the horse bandits. After all, the horse bandits who could defeat the many with the few and had the ability to kill Dharma Forms only had that one family in the entire Jin country.

Naturally, the families had already activated their connections to find the backers in the capital to file a complaint. But at this moment, the Zhao country's attack on Jin was urgent, the situation in the south of Western Jin was rotten, retreating steadily, and at this time only Little Wei Yuan reported a great victory, not only recovering the lost land of the two counties, but also annihilating more than 100,000 Zhao troops.

Once this list was submitted, the whole court was shocked. Those who had questioned Little Wei Yuan's military ability before finally had nothing to say.

Therefore, the Whether Jin Wang issued an edict to reprimand Little Wei Yuan for not governing the territory well, deducted half of the rewards, and never mentioned the five counties in the southwest again. Seeing this, the Right Minister could only change a husband for his granddaughter.

Up to this point, the families in the three counties were finally desperate, and instead united to write to Little Wei Yuan, begging to pacify the banditry, and at the same time willing to pay people to pay taxes, and actively set the tax at two taels per person, all of whom were strong men and women, and children were attached.

Little Wei Yuan was satisfied, so a steady stream of population began to be transported from the three counties into Qingming, and one million people entered Qingming every month.

After receiving so many people, Little Wei Yuan felt that he had to give the Whether Jin Wang some meaning, so he picked 500 from the beautiful women snatched back by the horse bandits, together with the full set of equipment for 10,000 breastplate infantry, and sent them to the Wang Capital together.

Since taking office as the Southern Military Minister, this was the first time Little Wei Yuan had made a return, taking the initiative to pay taxes to the imperial court, and it was a big move, worth one million immortal silver.

The market price of a full set of breastplate infantry equipment was over one hundred taels of immortal silver, of which the armor was sixty taels, and the firearms and supporting ammunition were more than forty taels. Plus various accessories and small tools, it was also five taels.

This batch of military supplies was sent to the Wang Capital, and the Whether Jin Wang was naturally overjoyed, and even the national fortune of Western Jin was raised. It was just that I don't know if the Whether Jin Wang was happy about the ten thousand sets of equipment, or the five hundred beauties.

In the Zhao country court, because of the Sixth Princess's disastrous defeat, the Zhao Wang didn't know how many times he had moved his thunderous anger. He scolded the Sixth Princess bloody, and even the Crown Prince was reprimanded quite a bit.

But after Su Hongmei returned, she only said that she fought hard to break out of the encirclement and was able to return to Zhao alone. As for the reason for the defeat, she pushed it all to several old generals who led the army, saying that they disobeyed orders, fought with the Qingming army without authorization, but were unbearable when fighting, and collapsed rapidly, so there was the situation where the whole army was surrounded in Hanyang Pass.

As for the generals she accused, they were all locked in Little Wei Yuan's prison at this moment, and could not confront her.

Su Ruyu, under the encirclement and interception of the Azure Void army, miraculously brought most of her troops back to Zhao territory, gaining great fame and the bearing of a legendary general. Both were from the Su family, so the Prince of Zhao took Su Hongmei's case and handled it leniently, stripping her of her general title while allowing her to atone for her crimes through service.

At this moment, more than 100,000 Zhao troops fell into Little Wei Yuan's hands, so Li Chengfeng suggested that he must quickly redeem these soldiers from Little Wei Yuan's hands, otherwise, it might be long and night, and people would not be able to come back.

After thinking about it, the Zhao Wang also felt it made sense, so he discussed with the ministers what conditions to use to make Little Wei Yuan release people. As a result, someone said that it might be better to open border trade. Anyway, Qingjin was still pouring into Zhao country, and border trade was prohibited but not stopped, so it was better to open it.

As a result, this proposal was fiercely opposed by Li Chengfeng, saying that once the border ban was opened, he was afraid that Qingjin would be uncontrollable and would completely replace Zhao Jin, so this mouth must not be opened.

The ministers actually knew why Li Chengfeng opposed it, but no one said it clearly, all looking at the Zhao Wang's face. As a result, the Zhao Wang pondered for a moment, actually followed Li Chengfeng's opinion, did not open border trade, and let Li Chengfeng take immortal silver to Qingming to redeem people.

After the morning meeting on this day, it was said that the Crown Prince was furious in the mansion and beat two maids who committed crimes to death. And Li Chengfeng took the immortal silver and rushed to Qingming immediately to exchange Zhao soldiers with Little Wei Yuan.

Li Chengfeng arrived in Qingming, and Little Wei Yuan naturally received him personally. After all, Little Wei Yuan had always welcomed people who brought immortal silver to the door with a smiling face.

The two sat down, and Li Chengfeng said his intention. Unexpectedly, Little Wei Yuan sighed and said: "This time, I am afraid that the people Li brother takes back will be much less. Alas, if you had said hello earlier, I would have let you change someone else."

Li Chengfeng was taken aback and hurriedly asked: "What happened?"

"Brother Li will know when he sees it."

So the two came to the military camp specially opened for Zhao wounded soldiers, and there were 50,000 wounded soldiers inside. Seeing this again, Li Chengfeng discovered that the facilities in the military camp had become better, and the food for the wounded soldiers was much better than the previous time, and everyone had meat in their bowls.

Throughout the camp, beautiful and cold medical center disciples could be seen checking the wounds of the wounded soldiers, but there were many white-clothed, delicate and lovely girls, specially serving as nursing.

Li Chengfeng's heart sank, so he casually found a Zhao soldier who had recovered almost the same, and asked: "Seeing that your injury has recovered almost the same, why don't you return to Zhao country?"

The Zhao soldier said: "It is happy here, I don't think of Zhao."
