Mystery Makes Me Strong

The crowd settled down on the northern grassland.

It was the same old routine, recruiting people, developing the economy, and recruiting more people.

This cycle continued.

This lasted for three years.

Three years later, they had another five thousand people.

After all, this place was barren and could not support too many people.

They used some modern farming techniques to support these people.

It was not enough to rely on grazing alone, and there were also farming, ironwork, etc.

This day.

The novice man couldn't bear it.

He said, "Why don't we send someone to the capital to take a look."

"At least understand the ability of the emperor."

Wen Rensheng smiled: "That's not bad."

"But first we have to determine how to avoid his eyes."

The senior nodded and said, "Yes, he seems to be able to see us."

"Yes, the other party should have some ability to deduce the secrets of heaven and watch out of his body."

"He seems to be able to see us within his rule." The novice girl also said so.

"In that case, let's change our aura and appearance and dress up as grassland merchants." Wen Rensheng said so.

Then Wen Rensheng began to mobilize Xiaohuan, the golden finger, which is a master of illusion.

Of course, it is to disguise as his own skills, and directly transform four people at the same time.

Then the extra aura on them disappeared.

They changed into some ordinary grassland nomads.

"In this way, it should be able to cover the aura of us outsiders."

"With such ability, we should have used it earlier." The novice man subconsciously argued.

The novice woman kicked him.

This made him suddenly realize: "Sorry, teacher, you must have your own considerations."

"Yes, my consideration is to find an invincible place first."

"Rely on disguise at the beginning, and if the disguise fails, it will be a dead end. So at the beginning I took you out of his observation range, and this is the retreat." Wen Rensheng nodded.

The senior had thought of this long ago, so he would not ask questions.

And the novice man will pay the price of his life for his argument and complaints.

At a critical moment, doubts about the predecessors would make him slow down and then die.

Then they transformed and started to move south.

Of course, before the action, they sent out scouts.

These scouts quickly went south.

They were loyal and silent.

There was no way to be particular about the people of Xinggan.

It was very hard on the road, and they kept going south.

Going to the Ming Dynasty, they would release the falcon to deliver messages at regular intervals.

This is a skill, animal training.

Through it, falcons can be trained to deliver messages, and they can fly more than 1,000 miles a day.

It flies very high, flying at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, safe and fast.

The scouts moved forward all the way, and when they stepped into the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, they did not encounter any attacks on the road.

This shows that ordinary people like them would not attract the special attention of the emperor.

Then the four followed the scouts into the Ming Dynasty.

They also did not attract the East and West Factory Guards again.

This method of transformation is reasonable and successful.

Everyone is very happy.

The novice man couldn't help but feel ashamed of his previous doubts.

The novice woman admired him even more.

"Fortunately, we have a teacher. If we didn't have a teacher, we wouldn't be able to complete this mission."

"The other party can see us all the time and keep chasing us. We have no chance to grow."

"The difficulty of this mission has suddenly increased."

The three people said one after another.

"But the Lord God thought we could solve it. In its view, our attributes are so high that we can completely solve the other party." The senior sighed,

"But our attributes are high, but we didn't have skills before. It's like a very strong guy, but he doesn't have a pistol, while the other party is weak, but has a gun."

"People with pistols must have a higher chance of winning."

"Even a 5-year-old child can kill his father with a pistol."

"Yes, before we didn't have skills, it was equivalent to not having a pistol. We were unarmed, and no matter how high our attributes were, it was useless."

Then they moved forward.

But as more and more town checkpoints were encountered, more and more people were checking.

Although the immortal emperor couldn't see it with his magical powers, these people could see it.

Their scouts had a relatively smooth journey at first, but the further they went south, the more strict the inspections on the road became.

And there were thousands of scouts moving back and forth and sweeping across the land.

This was very costly.

This shows how much panic they had caused the cultivation emperor three years ago.

Gradually, it became difficult for their scouts to go deeper.

Because the road permits were strictly checked here.

Before, it was still very loose.

Now it is strict again, needless to say, it is because of them.

Although their attributes are open to 80%, they are unwilling to directly conflict with the army.

Because once they conflict, more enemies will be attracted.

They will repeat the same mistakes.

Jinyiwei and people from the East and West Factories will flock to it, just like poking a hornet's nest.

In that case, things will be troublesome.

The scouts cannot enter, so they choose to disguise and sneak in instead of going straight in.

They went south all the way, not taking the main roads but the small roads.

They finally arrived in the capital.

They also found a group of caravans that died in some bandit strongholds.

They pretended to be those dead and killed all the bandits at the same time.

After doing this, they entered the capital.

The capital was very prosperous.

What shocked several people was that there was no city wall in the capital!

There was no protection at all.

Outside the city wall, there were residential areas, commercial areas, and workshops.

Those who weave cloth, make honeycomb coal, forge iron, transport fertilizers...

There were countless workshops.

Apart from eating, the biggest problem in ancient times was fuel.

Therefore, the coal industry was very prosperous.

There was a great demand for this.

In all big cities, the middle and lower classes basically relied on coal, and only the upper class could afford charcoal with less smoke.

It was difficult to supply firewood.

It was difficult to make fire.

Daxia did not really solve the fuel problem until the 1990s.

This means that the capital is very powerful.

Just like the Huns, they don't need city walls.

When the Huns were weak, they started to flee far away.

When they were at their strongest, they didn't need city walls at all.

After they entered the capital, they began to ask around.

In fact, there was no need to ask. The further south they went, the more prosperous it was.

The people could basically reach a level of food and clothing.

This was an absolute prosperous age in feudal ancient times.

There were clothes to wear, not bare buttocks, food to eat, and no cannibalism.

This was the standard of prosperity in ancient times.

Don't think too much.

Modern people have so many worries, all of which are compared.

The house must be super first-tier, the car must be worth hundreds of thousands, the education must be from a famous school, the status must be getting better and better, the children must be 985...

In the end, they only live for a few dozen years and die suddenly, why bother?

Looking back, most of the time was spent worrying, and it was all in vain.

However, even if everyone knows this truth, they are still helpless in the world.

Unless you are single, if you want to get married and have children, you must not only be open-minded, but also let your family be open-minded.

And it is the same in this feudal era.

Many people rushed to the capital to make a fortune.

Even though many old people scolded them for being ungrateful and unsatisfied.

"Before the liberation, we couldn't even eat."

"This is all the emperor's kindness!"

After asking, the novice men and women felt that they were villains.

To do villain things.

According to the information along the way,

Since the 40th year of Jiajing, the emperor has realized the secrets of heaven and succeeded in practicing Taoism.

Then there were good weather everywhere.

Kill the big carbons in Yan Dang and Qingliu.

Take out the silver they have accumulated, go overseas to buy food, stabilize prices, build water conservancy projects, and build roads.

Use work instead of relief, recruit workers everywhere.

Basically, every county has a big project started.

That is road construction and water conservancy.

These two things will never be outdated at any time.

Although the effect is slow, it will not be wasted.

With a good road, the information and food of the court can reach quickly.

If the water conservancy is good, the grain production will be more, and there will be no major harm.

And the grain and silver are all allocated by the court.

In this way, the landless have a way to survive.

They will not be displaced.

Grain is allocated from overseas, and silver is obtained from the big coals everywhere.

Then it is coal.

Coal is the premise for solving another big problem.

That is to drink hot water and take a hot bath.

People are not unaware of the good of drinking hot water.

The problem is that firewood itself is expensive.

Few people are qualified to boil hot water.

Most families are very good at making hot meals once a day.

And as the emperor succeeded in cultivating immortals, coal mines were pointed out everywhere.

Let some enlightened big places and big officials replace those big coals.

The current emperor is like an administrator.

He promoted some honest officials, and only those who are upright and strict can be promoted.

Salaries have also increased.

For several years, they have been paid on time, and there are bonuses.

Let more and more officials like Hai Rui who can live a stable life relying solely on salaries.

No need to think of crooked ways.

The yamen has more official officials, and there is no need to deal with those commoners.

Of course, there will never be enough people.

You can only be restrained.

But greed is not allowed.

If the upper limit exceeds 5,000 taels, the emperor will find out and punish you.

Especially for officials above the fourth rank, it is even more impossible for the emperor to appoint them personally.

People who do the right thing can basically pass.

"I'm testing, isn't this emperor equivalent to when I play the emperor game, I can see loyalty and integrity, and directly appoint those who are good?" The novice man was shocked.

"Yes, it's different to manage the world with the eyes of heaven."

"No wonder life in various places is basically satisfied, and there are almost Qingtian in every county. If you can't be as good as Hai Rui, you can be as good as Wang Yongji and Gao Gong."

"Haha, this is really good. After all, the affairs of the yamen are complicated and changeable. Even if you are upright, you will be cheated."

"That's right, but he did a good job. If we rebuild the Ming Dynasty, won't this cause the people to suffer again?" The novice man was a little reluctant.

This is different from the last time.

Last time it was a time of chaos, and there was no psychological burden to do anything.

The people would only get better, not worse.

Now, it is a time of prosperity, and if they want to do it again, the people will only suffer.

"So the teacher said that we have to wait until the emperor is gone and ascends to heaven, then we can do it, and there will be no psychological burden." The novice girl said.

"It seems that this is really the case. If we attack the Ming Dynasty now, too many people will die."

"The teacher is still foresighted."

Then everyone began to wait patiently.

Of course, some people still went back to continue to develop the forces in the north.

The main thing is to leave the mining and farming to accumulate population and develop a one-stop economic cycle.

And the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Just experienced a storm.

"Okay, okay, I passed on the immortal method to you, but it is still a crime, right?"

"You actually want to rebel and seek my throne!"

"Sure enough, a little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge!"

The emperor was in the harem, walking back and forth frantically alone.

If anyone heard his words, there would be only one outcome.

"The rebels have jumped out on their own. Prince Yu is one, and there is also Prince Jing!"

"They all have to die!"

"No, just kill them. My immortal dynasty lacks an heir, and my luck will be greatly reduced. This is not okay!"

"Then keep him under house arrest and give me a son. Immortal cultivators giving birth to sons will reduce their lifespan and luck, so I won't give birth to a son!"

The emperor's eyes were cold.

"And those demons from the past few years, just put the blame on them!"

He then ordered Chen Hong to come in.

"Master, what do you want?"

Chen Hong was also at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage at this time.

Of course, he was far from being comparable to the master in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And the master didn't have a golden elixir, so he would never reach the Qi Refining Stage.

"Go find some people, and go hunting in five days. I want to go with my two sons..." The emperor didn't finish his words, leaving a riddle for Chen Hong to guess.

Chen Hong was in a big trouble now.

The emperor wanted to kill his son?

After all, he had become an immortal, so there was no point in keeping his son.

But did the emperor really want to kill him?

It didn't seem like it.

The reason is very simple.

If he really wanted to kill him, why did he pass on the Taoism to his son?

Wouldn't it be enough to let him die of old age like an ordinary person?

He practiced Taoism earlier than the two princes.

He also saw the bodies of the two princes.

As a result, one was about to die, and the other could live for seven or eight years.

King Jing was also an idiot.

If no one practiced, then you wasted your body, spirit, and thoughts, what would you earn?

As long as you take good care of your body and live longer than your elder brother, the throne will naturally be yours.

Chen Hong naturally didn't know that his idea would never succeed.

Because Prince Yu had a son, and his son had a very long standby time.

The time he sat on the throne was comparable to that of Jiajing.

The two of them, the grandfather and grandson, took up almost half of the time of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that Jiajing lived six years less.

This means that when Jiajing died, Prince Yu would still succeed to the throne.

Then when Longqing died, his own son would still succeed to the throne.

Even if Prince Jing lived for a few more decades, it would still be useless.

In fact, Longqing was the one who suffered the most losses.

Judging from the life span of his son and father, he must have a longevity gene.

But he was too repressed, and he began to release himself when he became emperor.

Without anyone to control him, this indulgence directly completely depleted his body.

Later, there was another emperor who was even more fierce than him, that is Taichang, who indulged himself to death in a month, and he also inherited the fine tradition of his ancestors.

Chen Hong thought about it, and he couldn't tell others about this.

He decided to leave a little room.

Fatal and not fatal.

In this way, the idea of ​​the riddle emperor can be satisfied, right?

Otherwise, it would be a dead end.
