After a familiar flicker of space reversal and time dislocation, Jiang Tian reappeared in another world. However, the call in his ears disappeared temporarily; then a petite figure flew out from the flowers and hung tightly on Jiang Tian like a koala.
"Old Ancestor!" But he had a round face that looked slightly taller than he had seen for a long time. He was only wearing a loose gold-woven robe with silver bird pattern in the Xuandi, and tied up his hair with a hosta. Zhen Zhen, who was extremely surprised, buried her head in Jiang Tian's chest, trying her best to feel the breath and warmth of the past: "Man'er misses you so much!".
At the same time, in the "Induction/Transmission" that Jiang Tian successfully activated, a circle of biological reactions of varying intensity was quietly retreating away. Obviously, these are the people who are responsible for secretly guarding and guarding the unknown palace courtyard; they are used to this situation.
"I also often miss Man'er, but this world has suppressed this ray of my soul very much; I can't project and show up as I want." Jiang Tian also touched her head familiarly, half comforting and half explaining: " It all depends on Man'er itself as my bond and cause and effect in this world."
"This is how I can occasionally pay attention to one or two things from a distance, communicate with each other, and deliver cross-border outputs. As the saying goes, the number of days is fixed, and there is no room for too much interference. If there are no major reasons or causal factors, my appearance in this world is too If it goes on for a long time, it will eventually backfire on Man'er's energy and luck."
"Although it won't hurt you at first, there will be misfortunes and minor mistakes in some insignificant things; then, it will further affect those close to you... and even the foundation of the Donghai Office. Therefore, More often than not, you can only rely on your own efforts.”
"Ancestor, please don't say this. Man'er knows that you have good intentions." After hearing this, the tears rolled down the little round face: "Man'er has never complained to Ancestor for this... maybe he has. , there was a little bit of it, but the day I saw my ancestor again, it had long since disappeared."
"This is the original intention of me imparting those knowledge and experiences." Jiang Tian smiled again: "For the chaotic and unknown potential of the mind of heaven in this world, I invaded this world as a ray of spiritual thought; it must be rejected at all times. The greater the disturbance caused by foreign objects, the greater the repulsive force."
"Therefore, the longer each time it lasts, the greater the consumption required to maintain it; until the invisible pressure from heaven and earth completely wipes out my consciousness." After saying this, Jiang Tian stretched out his hand to stop the words on his small round face. : "So, the most valuable thing is the cross-border knowledge."
"Because you are also one of the potential children of destiny in this world. Especially after I reversed the low point of your destiny, you can naturally use this knowledge to bring about drastic changes, starting from protecting the people and improving life, and in turn affect more people. destiny, and then affect the trends of heaven and earth.”
"On the contrary, it reduces the pressure I project on this world; to a certain extent, I have to rely on you, Madoka." Jiang Tian once again teased her in his arms: "Of course, you were tired that day If you are lazy and are influenced and urged by others, you can also give up on it."
"As long as those of you who have had contact with me try to slowly forget me and erase most of the traces I left behind in official and private circles; as time goes by, the invisible pressure from heaven and earth will naturally I rejected him and even isolated him forever, never to see him again."
"I won't listen, and I don't want to know... Ancestor, why are you doing this? Do you think Man'er is not good enough?" However, after hearing this, the little round face burst into tears and raised his face and said, "If it weren't for you, Zhou Gu, what's the point of all this Man'er, he's just a walking corpse driven by lust for power."
"No, I just want you to understand, don't associate your own future with your destiny, and easily place your hope on others, even me." Jiang Tian comforted him in a gentle voice: "When faced with the dilemma of a major decision, When you are in doubt, the most reliable person in this world is yourself."
"Of course, if you can still maintain this kind of attitude, always be humble and self-reflective, without losing your tolerance and enterprising spirit, I will feel more at ease." Jiang Tian then softened his tone and said: "By the way, you and I are on the other side. The representative of the world, I wonder how the communication in the void is going?"
"Thanks to the magical powers left by our ancestors, I am naturally fascinated and benefited a lot." After hearing this, the little round face became excited and said: "I didn't expect that in the far west, there is such a foreign land full of foreign races; even more There are endless mountain spirits, water monsters, cow ghosts and snake gods."
"Fortunately, the acting lady supported by the ancestor is also a person of great decision-making and big-heartedness. Every time she communicates with her from across the world and even writes letters, it opens Man'er's eyesight and even makes her understand and resonate with each other; she just feels that the world is It’s so big that the paths to study and exploration are endless.”
Then, the little round-faced girl who was infatuated in Jiang Tian's arms took advantage of the situation and talked about her policies and measures in recent years; including how many civilian villages and military mansions she had rebuilt; how many mines and supporting factories she had opened up, and how many Water transportation channels and irrigation projects have renovated thousands of miles of roads.
There are even plain lands with Wuxiaojing and Jinchengjing as the core, each of which has been laid for tens or hundreds of miles; horse-drawn tracks leading to nearby mines; and in some large mines specialized in the government, It realizes the functions of original steam engine driving water pumping, mining and transportation.
The small imperial court under her leadership reorganized and strengthened the sixteen abandoned Yanbian towns and forty-nine garrison fortresses; at the same time, they defeated and subdued tens of thousands of native barbarians from abroad, and obtained a large number of elites from them. Strong men who were good at riding and shooting formed two cavalry groups and an exclusive shooting army.
While restoring the off-duty standing military service system of the Five Capitals and Seven Soldiers, the Gongshi organized half of the fire blunderbuss and half of the spears and swords based on the original palace rear guards, palace left guards and Xingtai directly subordinate volunteer soldiers, and equipped them with Some of the firearms units with large and small artillery vehicles take turns to defend the forbidden area.
Then, in order to obtain enough sources of sulfur for firearms, during this period the public office launched a cross-sea campaign against Fuso in the name of revenge and war crimes; in the battles of Tsushima, Iki, and Hizen in Dazaifu, Kyushu, The Eastern Dynasty's army of the local King Fang Liang was defeated with tens of thousands of troops.
They took the opportunity to occupy most of the local Matsuura County and its important ports - Matsuura (Hirado) and Karatsu Port, and used this to obtain sulfur veins sufficient for open-pit mining from the nearby extinct volcanoes. On the other hand, the sister-in-law Qingren who is in charge of Heianjing also responded.
The generals were sent to lead the north and south routes, claiming to have tens of thousands of troops, and launch offensives along the Sanin and Sanyo routes; they defeated the seven countries including Bizen, Mimasaku, and Inaba along the way, and pushed the battle line and control area to the territory of Anyun and Iwami. ; and took over Iwami Ginzan, which has the largest local output.
In contrast, the Haidong Office's actions to obtain saltpeter in the south were relatively restrained; they only passed through the Liaodong Peninsula, which is connected with the Haidong coast, and sailed across the sea to Penglai Port on the Denglai Peninsula, and met with a local group. A force named Wendeng Camp/Flying Tiger Army established trade relations.
Since then, the saltpeter mine produced in the Jiaodong Peninsula has been imported, as well as the transit trade of northern goods such as fur, pearls and ginseng. In addition, there are also the princes in the southern part of the Andong Protectorate because the Luo family, the largest local vassal force, was defeated by the Haidong Palace's expeditionary army and captured the feudal lord's clan in front of the battle.
Therefore, as a follow-up condition for the truce, in addition to a large amount of immediate delivery of compensation, these defeated princes and vassals must continue to provide a certain number of horses, cattle and sheep, as well as furs, minerals and other local products to the Haidong Office every year. and resources; as subsequent compensation.
Therefore, in the past two years, Haidong Office, which has basically had no external threats or intrusions, has been able to recuperate and have enough energy to carry out many large-scale construction projects. However, Jiang Tian noticed the evasion of important matters and ignored the minor points: "Is there still internal turmoil?"
"It's just the disturbance caused by some foolish men and women among the people. In fact, it shouldn't be taken as a big deal." The little round-faced man fully enjoyed the tenderness and caress from Jiang Tian, and he said disapprovingly as he relaxed physically and mentally: "These years, the office has opened The establishment of a private school and Qingtian caused a backlash among the teaching community."
"Is it the Maitreya Sect that has resurrected and caused trouble?" Jiang Tian couldn't help guessing, but the little round face put his little face in his palm and said: "It's not the Maitreya Sect. At the time, everyone in the Maitreya Sect saw with their own eyes how powerful the ancestors were. After the test, they repented and returned to the right path."
"As a sign of sincerity and repayment, the captured Maitreya disciples and teaching soldiers even turned around and smashed and burned the statues and fetishes of the past. They also kidnapped and sent to the government and offices the Buddhist teachers and lecturers who were hiding among the people. It’s up to you to deal with it; therefore, the Maitreya religion gradually disappeared.”
"Could it be... Cong Lin from three mountains and five courtyards?" When Jiang Tian heard this, he immediately realized: "These people who hold high positions, occupy vast fields and beautiful houses, and have thousands of tenants and tenants, are in the midst of a national crisis. The bald donkey who took the responsibility but didn't think of repaying the favor actually dares to disobey the official office now?"
"These are the eminent monks who have long lost their reputation." The little round face calmly yawned and said: "Although they dare not resist the official order openly; but in private, they use various methods. But they come one after another; they even secretly contact the countryside to coerce believers into thinking they are protecting the law and defending the Tao."
"However, there is no need for ancestors to worry. I have already sent many people to infiltrate them, secretly dividing and disintegrating them and instigating them secretly. Just wait for them to gather a crowd and then ban them in one fell swoop by coordinating internal and external cooperation. In this way, there is enough evidence of crimes. To ensure long-term peace and order."
"Your method of luring the snake out of its hole and annihilating it in one fell swoop is good and well thought out." Jiang Tian immediately nodded in approval and said, "But the cycle is a bit long; there are still considerable risks and variables. Since I happened to be here, Maybe it won’t be so troublesome;”
"This generation is able to confuse people's hearts, relying only on the pious practice accumulated over the years? But what if even the gods and Buddhas can't see their perverse behavior and disobey the official destiny, and instead rain down anger and thunder out of thin air? ?”
Hearing these words, the eyes of the little round face also lit up: "What if the signs that they have been abandoned by God can be revealed in public? Then I am afraid that no matter how many believers and monks there are, the hearts of the believers and monks will be in chaos and collapse. The separation is over... Naturally, everything can be settled without bloodshed."
However, at this moment, someone suddenly broke into Jiang Tian's senses and came closer without any hindrance; he couldn't help but turn his head and look. However, a graceful woman walked out from the flower tree. She was dressed in a complicated palace skirt and had hairpins on her temples. She looked exactly like my sister. She was taking off her shackles one by one:
"Welcome to the ancestor, your flesh bottle has been waiting for a long time." In the end, she only had a small piece of clothing that could not cover anything, and she knelt down at Jiang Tian's feet tremblingly; with a This delicate trembling voice seemed to go straight into the heart, calling out like a cry:
