Wu Jiao was hesitant to speak, but he did not dare to hesitate when he met Qin Ge's eyes. The Five Thunder Zhengfa condensed into a thunder knife in his hand, and he was ready to step forward and scrape the dragon.
The Wheel-turning Dragon King was so frightened that he almost peed. He put his tail between his legs and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Master! Spare the life of Xiaolong! I have an old mother to support and children who are waiting to be fed. You kill me." It’s just one corpse and three lives! Please spare me! Xiaolong will work like a cow and a horse to repay you!"
When Qin Ge saw such a spineless guy, he muttered: "It's still Taiyi Jinxian. It's useless to keep such a weakling..."
Qin Ge turned around and was about to leave when Wu Jiao came over with a thunder knife. Seeing this, the Wheel-turning Dragon King was so frightened that his limbs were paralyzed. He just wailed and cried for a long time without saying a word.
"Husband! The so-called broken ship still has three nails. This person was once a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Now, although he only has the soul of the Dragon Ball, he is also a Ghost Immortal. Now that we are employing people, why not take him in and let you drive him!" Kinderman spoke out and begged for mercy on behalf of the Dragon King!
Qin Ge frowned and looked at Wu Jiao with a questioning look on his face. Wu Jiao nodded.
Qin Ge winked, and Wujiao put away the thunder knife.
The wheel-turning Dragon King, who had been away for a long time, cried bitterly and said to Kinderman: "This great and compassionate Holy Mother has more benevolent virtues than the Virgin Mother, and a broader mind than the Beautiful Mother. Xiaolong is very grateful. All..."
Kinderman used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Qin Ge: "Although this guy's strength is unfathomable and staying with him may be a hidden danger, but now in the Immortal Nest, he is just a piece of fish on the chopping board, at our mercy! And he is dead It happened once, so I cherish my life even more, this kind of guy is best driven!"
Qin Ge was silent for a moment and looked at Wu Jiao. Wu Jiao came over and said: "My lord, do you know that the map of mountains and rivers and the country I mentioned before requires not only the five elements, but also the movement of yin and yang. The yang has the Golden Crow Sky Patrol Array, but there are few The cathode, this dragon can be used as the cathode to seal it in the map of mountains and rivers, and this dragon was previously responsible for the reincarnation of ghosts in the underworld. We can also use his magical power to build the underworld in the map of mountains and rivers, allowing the souls under your rule to enter. Underworld, reincarnation through the power of yin and yang rotation, rather than dissipating and dissipating between heaven and earth! After the soul protected by underworld is reincarnated, its qualifications and quality can be greatly improved, and the karma of heaven and earth will be generated. The yin and yang rotation will greatly improve Yunlong's power. The efficiency of magic, the power of the mountains and rivers and the country map!"
When the Dragon King of Wheels heard that he was going to be sealed in a map of mountains and rivers and had to do the hard work of yin and yang, his face suddenly turned the color of bitter gourd. However, the form was stronger than human beings. From now on, he might be trapped in endless darkness.
"You don't want to be a good person when you get an advantage! There are more than 60 million people under my rule, and this number will continue to increase in the future. You will bear death and soul reincarnation, and you will gain the merits and karma of the Chinese Tao. This is your return from practice. The best way to reach peak strength, you should be grateful to our Lord for the grace of rebirth he bestows on you!" Wu Jiao shouted sharply.
The Rotating Dragon King heard that there were so many people under Qin Ge's command, almost catching up to one-fifth of the civilized population of the Three Prefectures, and in the past, even this one-fifth of the Yin-Yang Rotation Karma needed to be in the underworld with his other nine The brothers split it equally, which is really a good thing now that I think about it.
"I'm warning you, your transformation of yin and yang is related to the welfare of countless living beings. If you dare to neglect your duties or have evil intentions, I will definitely cut you into pieces!" Qin Ge's voice was filled with murderous intent, which scared the Wheel Dragon King to tremble all over. Nod and thank you.
"Spit out your Dragon Ball!" Wujiao spread his hand and placed it near the mouth of the Wheel-turning Dragon King. The Dragon Ball is the foundation of the dragon clan's cultivation and also his lifeblood. Once something happens to the Dragon Ball, the Wheel-turning Dragon King will be shattered.
The wheel-turning dragon king carefully spat out a dragon ball burning with ghost fire.
Wujiao made seals with both hands, and countless thunder surged, forming a heavenly thunder cage around the dragon ball. He placed the dragon ball under the Mountains and Rivers Society Map, and the resonance with the Golden Crow Sky Patrol Array was like the attraction of yin and yang, and the entire Mountains and Rivers Society Map There is actually day and night in it!
Wujiao shouted: "You haven't returned yet!" The Wheel of the Dragon King let out a dragon roar, flew out of the barrier, plunged into the Mountains and Rivers, and disappeared.
"With the suppression of Shanhe Sheji Tu and the imprisonment of my Five Thunder Heavens, as long as my lord has a thought, this evil dragon can be driven away in an instant. He will never dare to do anything wrong in the future!" Wu Jiao said to Qin Ge, cupping his fists.
"This dragon ball from the Wheel of the Dragon King can help you practice the Huan Hai Chakra! In this way, your skills can achieve Great Perfection!" Xu Changjin suddenly pointed at the dragon ball.
Qin Ge laughed when he heard this and said: "That's very good! Then I will form the Five Elements Wheel in the shape of the Five Saints as soon as possible! I am somewhat looking forward to what changes will happen to the Shilong Xingyun Jue after the Seventh Palace is completed!"
"Husband! This time about the Dragon King's rotation, you will be lucky and safe. If this happens again next time, I don't think you should go to the civilized arena!" Kinderman hugged Qin Ge's arm. , said worriedly.
"The so-called wealth is gained in danger. I can't stop eating because of choking. I will be careful next time! By the way, I will show you something!" Qin Ge suddenly smiled strangely, took out the gladiator identity token from his hand, and saw hula la coming from A golden torrent surged out of the identity token, and countless gold ingots accumulated into a small mountain.
"This...where is so much gold...you robbed the Han treasury...this..." Kinderman was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"I don't know if the monkeys in the Sanfu Civilization District looked down on me this time and actually raised the odds to 100 times. I bet 20,000 taels of gold to try my luck. After I returned to the Fairy Nest, the arena Remind me that Li Ming used external force to violate the ban. I won this battle! The 2 million taels I bet, plus the winner’s reward of 300,000 taels! A total of 2.3 million taels of gold. You are not in my ears all day long. Complaints, road construction, immigration, infrastructure construction, arsenals, and shipyards are all whirlpools that cannot be filled. This gold should be able to cope with the emergency!" Qin Ge said with a smile.
Looking at a small golden mountain in front of him, Kinderman jumped forward with joy and said: "It's just too timely! Because to prevent the attack of the Liangshan bandits, too much money and food were advanced for road construction and arsenal. Now all the officials in Qilin City are It has been two months since there was no food and salary payment, and these days they are gathering in front of my house and are about to rebel! The tax revenue of an ordinary county in the Han Dynasty is only 30,000 taels of gold a year, I have to figure out how to spend this gold!"
"Haha! I didn't expect that you are also a little money-crazy, so feel free to spend money. After all, you got it from the rich man who attacked the three houses, so you don't feel bad about spending it!" Qin Ge smiled cheerfully.
"It's just..." Kinderman was still worried. Qin Ge looked up at the sky and said, "We have been dancing on the edge of the knife. The autumn harvest is coming in the blink of an eye. The threat from the Liangshan bandits is greater than the risk in the arena. There are so many!”
This year, thanks to the efforts of the military and civilians, thanks to the large-scale promotion of advanced agricultural tools and improved seeds, as well as the blessing of Yunlong Shu, Taishan County's crop output has increased by 20%, and the cultivated land area of Dongguan County has reached 30%.
As for the grain cultivation area in the three counties of Qingzhou, Qiguo County only has 30%, Jibei County has only 15%, and Le'an County has achieved 55%.
Because the land has been abandoned for a long time, has been newly reclaimed this year, and agricultural facilities are incomplete, the harvest can only reach about 60% of what it was before the Yellow Turbans.
The total grain output under Qin Ge's rule is approximately equal to the output value of the two counties. Coupled with Man Chong's vigorous development of fishery, salt industry and metallurgy in Le'an County, agricultural production can now barely make a living for the people under his rule.
In order to restore agricultural production, Qin Ge invested a lot of money in roads, ditches, farm tools, livestock, etc. Of course, now is the war season, and there is a bottomless pit in terms of the development of military industry and the food and salary of soldiers. Even with the annual funding from the Han government Qin Ge was also quickly emptied of military rations.
Qin Ge also wanted to set up the Qingzhou Mansion's exchange system. Although he became He Jin's son-in-law, Qin Ge had very great power in personnel appointments, even though he used many grassroots official positions to pay for the merits of the Evolutionary forces in the Qingzhou War.
At the same time, a large amount of money and materials were invested to honor the meritorious service and to encourage the evolvers to actively suppress the bandits. Qin Ge's huge wealth gained from suppressing the bandits in Youzhou was about to bottom out.
As Kinderman said, Qilin City was very poor at this time. Due to the large-scale war, military pay, food, medical supplies, etc. were spent like water, and even the food and salary of some officials and soldiers, the government of some disabled soldiers, and the orphans of martyrs. Subsidies have begun to arrears.
If it weren't for Qin Ge's prestige in Qilin City, the entire administrative system would have been paralyzed long ago. Kinderman made a simple budget. Of these 2.3 million taels of gold, it would cost 1.5 million just to fill the financial deficit caused by development this year. Two gold, and the remaining 800,000 taels need to be fully purchased for military supplies.
We are currently in the honeymoon period with Mi's Trading Company in Xuzhou and Zhen's Trading Company in Jizhou. It should not be a problem to quickly purchase large quantities of armaments, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent resistance against the Liangshan bandits.
Kinderman calculated over and over again that this huge sum of 2.3 million taels will be consumed in less than a month. Now that we have to develop the military industry and infrastructure, it is a bottomless gold-swallowing behemoth. In addition, the long-term consumption with the Liangshan bandits is coming. War, Qin Ge's finances will also be exhausted.
"This year, the Liangshan bandits have stood still and watched us spend money and build like crazy. They are waiting to pick the peaches and harvest the fruits. If they cannot resist the Liangshan bandits this time, all the massive wealth you brought back from the Jizhou battlefield will be in vain. ! We will also be maimed, and then we will really become a fat pig kept by the Liangshan bandits. We work hard every year, and during the autumn harvest they come to cut the meat and drink the blood!" Kinderman was worried. She didn't want to spend this year's hard work and carelessness. The cost input becomes someone else’s wedding dress.
Qin Ge comforted Kinderman and said, "You can think of it this way! We have invested heavily. The military industry has produced a large number of armors and weapons and has developed the latest crossbows, Lingyuan guns, and battleships. Let us With the confidence to resist the Liangshan bandits, the transportation hub between the five counties has been penetrated. If we defend the Liangshan bandits, the development of people's livelihood under our rule will get better year by year. This year we can have enough to eat, next year we will be able to Putting on the shirt, and with Taishan County as the radiation, the territories of the four counties have been transformed and gradually included in the Shanhe State Map, which is a foundation that will last for a long time."
At the end, Qin Ge clenched his fist and said: "So I can never lose this battle, and I will not let the light that appeared in Qingzhou return to darkness!"
Kinderman also cheered up. Now she knew that instead of complaining, she should start planning as soon as possible. When the autumn harvest comes, it will be a race against time. She nodded and said: "A long time ago, our intelligence network was involved in the Youzhou National War." We have already penetrated into various ministries in Qingzhou. We have a lot of intelligence among the Liangshan bandits. If the Liangshan bandits in various ministries make any big moves, we can find out at the first time! Now we have garrisons everywhere at the borders of the five counties. The Liangshan bandits Without a large-scale mobilization of troops to capture the dangerous checkpoints, it would be impossible to enter the counties and towns on a large scale. Therefore, we have a buffer period of more than ten days after receiving the news of the attack by the Liangshan bandits. I have already formulated a strategy with Mr. Guan Zhong. During the autumn harvest, soldiers and civilians were organized to carry out an autumn harvest movement to harvest the grain as quickly as possible and dry it. In villages near the county, important materials such as grain, livestock, and farm tools could be stored in the county's granary and agricultural management office. The court would issue notes. , after the bandit wave has passed, the villagers can collect it on their own! Of course, this strategy is easier for the people who migrated from Taishan County and Youzhou to Qingzhou, but the local people in Qingzhou, because of the impact of the war, may have an extreme xenophobia. It is difficult to implement, so they can be encouraged to dig cellars in remote places to hide food and farm tools! But the livestock can only be taken care of by themselves, and for those who are more remote and have local forces such as big clans and fortresses, we will select them Officials will assist in the transfer of property, but if there is no Wubao, the county will dispatch reserve troops, militia, etc. to collect and collect food in the Wubao built previously, and allow people to transfer property as much as possible. In the event of banditry, they can Travel lightly and flee into Wubao to avoid the banditry!"
