Behind me is the earth

"This is the Black Light Grand Canyon, and we haven't explored how deep it is. However, sometimes there is an inexplicable purple light coming out of it. At that time, the Grand Canyon will be very beautiful!"

Yu Nasha acted as a tour guide, taking Ren Shengsheng and others around.

The area around the Grand Canyon is covered with a kind of transparent seaweed, but when someone touches it, a blue light will instantly light up and be transmitted instantly, and the seabed around the canyon will turn into this color.

Like the stars under the sea, the beauty is breathtaking.

Ren Pingsheng stood on the edge of the canyon, exploring the ground with his mind.

One thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters...

"Another difficult place to explore."

When it reaches below nine thousand meters, exploration has become extremely difficult, and the sea water has become viscous, so that every time the mind moves forward one meter, it takes a huge amount of mental energy.

Even after awakening for the sixth time, there are still some secrets in this world that he cannot see through.

"Your Majesty, this kind of asparagus is also a very delicious sea vegetable. It tastes crunchy and crunchy. It also has the effect of increasing people's vitality and prolonging their life."

I don’t know how many times Yu Nasha has recommended good things from the bottom of the sea to Ren Pingsheng.

They, the sea people, are in an absolute trade deficit in their transactions with humans on the ground. If they want to exchange for what they want, they often have to spend a lot of material wealth.

Therefore, she also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sell more of their underwater products.

Moreover, this time the harvest was quite fruitful, she thought silently in her heart: "I planted two kinds of seaweed for the queen, I planted a kind of agate with weak spiritual energy for the imperial concubine, and I planted a kind of agate that tastes similar to beef for the emperor." Sea beast.

After returning home, I will prepare a cold asparagus dish for dinner. I think the crunchy asparagus will also conquer His Majesty's stomach. "

These things are all things that the Sea Clan can continuously provide.

As long as the emperor approves, these things can be easily pushed into the market.

Then they can continuously earn Daqi's banknotes to buy the things they want.

The dinner was held in the palace of the leader of the underwater tribe.

The buildings on the seabed are naturally adapted to local conditions, using corals and shells from the sea, supplemented by straw mats woven from pearls, agate and seaweed.

Although the palace is not big, it is very exquisite. The crystals decorated on the top refract the light under the light, and sprinkle on the polished shell floor, as if there is a layer of water ripples, and because of the spots refracted by the shells when the water ripples rhyme, stars appear.

Outside the exquisite palace is a cover that isolates the sea water. While eating, through the cover, you can still see the colorful marine life attracted by the light, floating up and down like elves.

"It's like the Crystal Palace in a fairy tale."

Ruan Tang enjoyed the dinner.

She originally had the sophistication of some literary young women, and this romantic and novel feeling made her feel that the food on the table was even more delicious.

Ren didn't eat much in his life.

After all, there are some differences between what the sea tribe eats and what humans eat. Although these dishes are cooked according to human habits as much as possible, they are still not to his taste. He only ate some broth and fruit and stopped eating.

Xiaowan felt the same as him, but the crunchy asparagus did not capture Ren Pingsheng's stomach, but she enjoyed eating it.

After dinner, Ren Pingsheng, under Nasha's warm invitation, left the words "Crystal Palace" on his face.

Under the farewell of Yu Nasha and other Sea Clan, Ren Pingsheng and others boarded the shuttle suspended outside the Sea Clan city——

After another modification by the Academy of Law Sciences, the shuttle has the ability to enter water.

The shuttle emerged from the sea and soared into the sky, flying towards Qidu.

When we flew back to Qidu, it was already nine o'clock in the evening and it was already dark.

"Your Majesty, several mountain people from Miaozhou came to pay their respects today. They said they had treasures as gifts. We asked about the treasures and they said they were small worlds that the government requested to hand over."

After Ren Pingsheng returned to the palace, Ruhua reported to him.

"Oh? Are you from Miaozhou?"

Ren Pingsheng opened his arms, and the maid took off his coat, sending it to be cleaned and ironed.

After the government seized the small worlds, including the two handed over by Taoist Priest Qingwei, 17 have been collected. Adding the black box world, bottle world, magic world, etc., the number of worlds controlled by the court has reached 20.

Although there are not many such small worlds in the world, which Taoism calls "secret realms", it is not surprising to Ren Pingsheng.

On the contrary, he was very interested in Fanmin's identity.

"They are from Miaozhou."

Ruhua said.

“The current provinces of Miaozhou and Baiyue are nominally under the rule of Qi.

However, a large number of counties and counties are actually still under the control of these people.

Some time ago, I saw the memorials from Miao and Yue provinces, and some of them wrote to me, hoping to be brought under the rule of the government. Is that so? "

Ren Pingsheng asked.

Xiaowan heard this and said: "Kingly education, military warfare, previous dynasties, hundreds of years of education have produced a group of mature people, but rifles and rice can achieve faster and better results.

Not only those who are familiar with it, but also some who are not familiar with it also take the initiative to go down the mountain and want to naturalize as Han people. "

Many of these foreign races in the mountains have transactions and contacts with the people below the mountains.

When they were in the mountains, they often hunted wild game, collected medicinal herbs, mushrooms, fungus and other mountain products, and exchanged them for daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and cloth. Naturally, they were not living in isolation from the outside world.

They now know what kind of life the people at the foot of the mountain live. They have long been envious of their three full meals a day.

Now, after the Qi State sent militiamen and officials into Miao and Yue provinces to start organizing households and dividing fields, the beautiful life at hand prompted those people in the mountains to want to go down the mountains and become naturalized.

"Even the demon clan wants to come down and become my Daqi subjects, let alone those other people."

Ruhua also proudly said with his chest raised.

"Let's make arrangements to meet these people at Yuanhe Hall tomorrow morning."

Ren Pingsheng sat down at the table and drank the red juice that the maid brought to him. After drinking it, the hot spiritual energy disperses throughout the body, and is inhaled into the meridians by the Gangqi that automatically circulates around the sky, and returns to the Dantian.

Now, the war in Qi State has stopped for a while. But on the border, fighting has reignited.

Including the war between the Fourth and Fifth Army Groups in Dajiang Province and the western part of Yuanzhou Province, and against the Tiger tribe and Hagenta people.

The First and Second Group Armies fought against the Daru Kingdom in the eastern part of Wonju Province and the northern part of Unhyang Province.

This time it was an outbound war, and Ren Pingsheng was determined to completely destroy the Daru Kingdom and completely eliminate the unstable factors that had existed for thousands of years, such as the Lurte people, the Jin people, the Hagenta people, and the Tiger tribe in the north.

Even if they can't be completely eliminated, they will have to be beaten until they can't recover for decades. The northern border area of ​​the province has been harassed by these alien races all year round.

Therefore, for these foreign people in the country, Ren advocated mainly assimilation and replaced the battlefield of war with ideological propaganda and the dividends of economic development.

"good."

Ruhua responded.

At night, Ren Pingsheng was lying on the bed, and Ruan Tang was already asleep beside him.

He turned over and hugged Ruan Tang into his arms, like a pillow. It was soft, warm, fragrant, and comfortable to hold.

In his sleep, Ruan Tang was trapped by this suffocating love. He grunted like a little pig and struggled a few times. He didn't break away and continued to sleep.

Ren Shengsheng couldn't sleep, his thoughts spiraled out, and his consciousness fell into Nanyang, the old capital of the northern land.

Jinshan County and Nanyang County actually have their own victories.

Needless to say, the benefits of Jinshan County are that it is a ready-made city that has been built.

And it is closer to the capital of Qi and is located in the richest area of ​​​​Qi.

As for Nanyang County, although it is dilapidated, it is not painful to demolish it. A blank piece of paper is easy to draw on. Once the imperial court establishes Nanyang as its capital, it will play an immeasurable role in promoting the development of Nanyang. All kinds of resources, including population, will gather towards Nanyang, allowing Nanyang to develop rapidly.

This will radiate to surrounding areas and drive the development of surrounding cities.

"But if you go to the north, information barriers will also arise due to geographical reasons, which will weaken the imperial court's control over the south...

The pros and cons are very clear. "

Ren Pingsheng thought that his consciousness had fallen into Nanyang City.

The power of thought gathered here, and slowly formed a person here.

Having just entered the realm of Yuanshen, Ren Pingsheng has not yet reached the ability to create a clone thousands of miles away in a single thought.

This person is just a projection of Ren's life's mental power, and has no real entity.

Moreover, if it were not in one's own country, it would be very difficult to create such a projection in a single thought.

Although it is just a projection, it is not difficult to hide it from the eyes of ordinary people when walking, sitting or lying down.

"There is still a bit of chilly wind at night in the north."

Ren felt the night of Nanyang all his life.

The once prosperous capital city is now extremely depressed. The people all went to bed early, and there was only the sound of the watch on the road.

When the watchman was walking on the road carrying a gong and shouting: "It's dry and everything is dry, be careful about the candles", a group of soldiers holding automatic rifles, wearing black military uniforms and wearing infrared night vision goggles on their heads Passed by him.

It’s like the intersection of the new and the old, the handover of the old era and the new era.

The watchman watched the soldiers passing in front of him and looked at them curiously.

The soldiers also watched the watchman banging the gong and shouting slogans, and memories of the past came to mind.

On the way, a drunkard emerged from Linghua Alley and walked staggeringly on the road.

"Huh? Two people~ no, three people! Why are the three of you going?"

The drunkard saw Ren Pingsheng walking on the road and greeted him.

Ren Pingsheng ignored him and hid in the shadow of the alley so that the drunkard could not see him.

The group of patrolling soldiers behind had already ran over and pinned the drunkard down when they came up.

"Where is your home? You are not allowed to go out on the street after nine o'clock in the evening, don't you know?"

"I am the steward of Prince Jing's Mansion. Do you understand, steward of Prince Jing's Mansion? We have status! We can do whatever we want!"

The drunkard's chest banged.

While patting his chest, he looked towards the base of the wall with drunken eyes: "Where is such a big person? Why did he disappear just like he said he couldn't see him?"

"Take him back and let him sober up before asking."

The squad leader of the patrol said.

A group of people escorted the drunkard away.

As a city that was kept secret by the Daru Kingdom and briefly served as the capital, Nanyang was naturally a city that was under key management.

In the days after the Qi army occupied the city, dozens of Daru agents and spies were ambushed in the city alone!

Until now, semi-military management is still practiced.

As for the drunkard just now, knowingly committing the crime, he probably won't be able to reap the benefits after being taken back.

After the patrol team left, the streets became quiet, and only the faint shouts of the watchmen who had gone away could be heard.

However, when Ren Shengsheng entered Linghua Hutong, he seemed to have entered another world.

On both sides of the market here are small buildings with carved beams and painted decorations, and the colored lights hanging at the door are flashing in neon colors.

There are no power plants in the north now. Even if there are purple electric crystals, they have to wait until the city's circuits and other infrastructure are laid out. There are not many wires in Nanyang City today, and it is not known where these small buildings draw electricity. .

Ren Pingsheng walked to the most magnificent small building and looked up at the plaque hanging on it with the three words "Zui Chun Building" written with flying phoenixes and flying phoenixes. It was a graceful and bold inscription written by a well-known celebrity at that time.

"Sir, you are here~"

As soon as Ren Pingsheng stood at the door, the door was opened.

The noisy sound of singing and dancing instruments, accompanied by the lively popularity and heat, hit your face.

The charming middle-aged lady at the door took a look at Ren Pingsheng and saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, but the stitching of the Taoist robe was exquisite, and there was a gold needle on the collar. Although it was simple, it was not simple, and he gave people an elegant look. An extraordinary feeling.

The madam, who had already developed a pair of "fiery eyes" to see people, was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a big smile, waved the fan in his hand, and came forward, holding Ren Pingsheng's arm with one hand. into his plump arms.

Ren Pingsheng, who uses his mind power to maintain the physical sense of projection, is even more sensitive to soft touch.

"So enthusiastic."

Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"I'm walking at night, everything is quiet, but your place is lively."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"He is indeed an official!"

The old bustard was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just looked surprised: "Oh, it turns out that it's a high-ranking official in front of me. Just now, all I can see is the magnanimous demeanor of Mr. Mo Shang. It's true that he has no eyes for gold. Jade, I didn’t see the official’s identity.

The slave family has met a high official! "

Since the other party comes to a place like this and calls himself an official, he must be very concerned about his status as an official. She naturally wants to satisfy the other party's vanity.

"I just came here for the first time, and I saw desolation everywhere, but I didn't expect that there was such a good place as you!"

Ren had spent a lot of his life talking about the environment of the brothel, which was quite elegant.

The singers, dancers and students on stage are also iconic. (End of chapter)
