[Origin point: two hundred and nine points] (You maintained the correct order of yin and yang in the world, changed the fate of 300,000 people, and indirectly undermined the Qingxu Realm’s plan for the current area. The origin point is increased by two hundred.)
The source points of this harvest are quite rich. After all, they have changed the fate of 300,000 people in a border county.
But it may be that the sword cultivator and the city emperor god had a profound influence on the development of events, and his contribution is not too exaggerated.
"My lord, please relocate the 300,000 people in the city as soon as possible. Cangbei County is no longer suitable for strangers to settle."
After Chao Qu recognized Lord Zhou Bai like the mountain god Cangwu, he hurriedly left with his attributes. Returning to the divine realm now can delay the fall of the divine throne.
Looking around, it was dark. The ghosts had retreated, leaving only the devastated land of Cangbei. However, there was no trace of the ghost tide passing by, and there was no life left.
The clouds above the head are still thick. Even without the influence of the ghost tide of the previous scale, it will be difficult to see the sun in the sky of Cangbei County in a short period of time.
Zhou Bai casually dug out a piece of soil, and under the complicated eyes of the mortals and monks at the city head, he flew upright and above the county city.
"I am Zhou Bai, the demon-suppressing general. The ghost tide outside the city has been forced back to the underworld by me and the City Emperor God. Please rest assured that the general's palace will take you to the safety of Cangnan." A gentle voice with a hint of soothing effect, The message spread throughout the city, and every household heard the announcement from the One in Heaven.
General Fumo? Even if a hundred ghosts were walking at night some time ago, they would not dare to pass by the heavenly beings in the territory under their rule?
I heard that the people in Cangnan have enough food and clothing, no worries about floods and droughts, and this year's autumn harvest will be "big".
In addition, the Cangshan bandits, the golden men who like to plunder, and the extraterrestrial demons that have caused a lot of commotion recently are no match for General Fumo.
With the blessing of various deeds and reputations, the people of Cangbei County finally realized that they were really saved!
Zhou Bai really wanted to save them. After the disaster the year before last, no big family was willing to do good. He was the first to recruit the refugees and open up fields for resettlement.
Many people from Cangbei came to seek refuge in the past, but now they are all small landowners...
The whole city was cheering, and people who had not left their homes for a long time came to the streets to sing and dance. They shouted and laughed loudly, venting the fears that had been suppressed in their hearts.
Many people waved to Zhou Bai floating in the air, as if they regarded him as the real sun under the dark clouds.
Zhou Bai vaguely understood in his heart that these 300,000 people, like the 300,000 elders from his hometown in Ping Cang, would become the strongest cornerstone of his rule.
However, he alone could not organize and settle the people in this city.
"Please invite all Taoist officials and those in charge in the city to come to the City Emperor Temple to discuss matters."
The Chenghuang Temple in Cangbei County is located in the northern corner of the city. It occupies a small area and the decoration is not luxurious.
Of course, this is because there has been no real god in the temple for a long time, causing the temple god to be ineffective, the incense is not strong, and the sense of existence is weak.
Chao Qu moved from Pingcang City Emperor to Cangbei County and was regarded as the first serious City Emperor in recent times. However, she took office not long ago and had not had time to show too many miracles.
Today Zhou Bai invited people to the temple for a gathering, which was considered the most lively time in Chenghuang Temple.
Because many people also realized that General Fumo had just mentioned that it was he and the city emperor who joined forces to drive the ghost tide back to the underworld.
They knew that matters needed to be discussed in the temple, so they crowded into the streets and alleys around the temple and knelt down to pray.
Zhou Bai didn't wait long in the temple. Eighteen Taoist officials and a dozen mortal officials and gentry came in a hurry. Judging from the messy marks on their clothes, it was obvious that it was not easy to squeeze in from the outside.
"I've seen demons subdued." The Taoist officials and the ordinary officials and gentry lined up in two rows, and then bowed to Zhou Bai in unison, with an extremely sincere and respectful attitude.
After Zhou Bai solemnly returned the gift, he walked up to the Taoist officials and asked with a somewhat unclear meaning: "Why don't you use the method of light body and flying, but insist on walking through the gate?"
One of the leaders, who was wearing the robe of an eighth-grade Taoist official, went out to report without hesitation: "General, the Yin Shen has left his body, and the Qingming Jiuyou has no restraints, but he still entered through the gate. How can we dare to overstep."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, perhaps feeling that his words were not sincere enough. Then he raised his hands towards the statue of the City Emperor in the main hall, and then said: "The City Emperor and the Divine Assistant help us protect the county and the city, and the common people cannot detect it. I and the Taoist officials But with my spiritual eyes open, how could I not know her contribution to the elderly, and my respect and reverence for her has not diminished."
Zhou Bai smiled and nodded, and asked directly: "Are you the Lei cultivator who used the thunder chain to defeat the enemy before? You are good at thunder magic. I wonder if you are willing to join the Taoist priests of the General's Mansion?"
The eighth-grade leader was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and said sincerely: "I am a lowly officer, Li Yuan, and I am willing to serve the general."
"It's just, this..."
Seeing that Li Yuan was hesitant to speak, Zhou Bai said bluntly: "If Li Daoguan has any requests, he can make them. You can rest assured that the treatment will not be worse than that of the imperial court."
"The general's reputation for cherishing talents has long been heard by subordinates. Of course, I am not worried about salary and treatment. It's just that my seventeen comrades..." Li Yuan hesitated a little, but still expressed his thoughts.
There are currently only seventeen Taoist priests in General Fumo's Mansion, and there is only one Yu Yueyun in the Second Realm. In an era when extraordinary events like this often occur, Zhou Bai would not think there are too many monks under his command.
Holding Cangshan's spiritual veins in his hand, he organized the two hundred Taoist priests who could accommodate the Demon-Subduing General's status. It was enough to recruit all of them and maintain their spiritual energy.
It's just that after being awarded the title of Lord of Demon Subduing, the state of luck that was blessed by destiny has passed. Without the direct support of heaven's luck, he can no longer grant official positions at will.
In particular, Taoist officials need to consume their luck to practice, and they should be sealed as little as possible.
After Zhou Bai decided to recruit this group of Taoist priests, he would reform the recruitment of Taoist priests. Members of the Taoist priest corps would not be awarded luck rewards unless they had merit. Only Taoist officials who needed to be in charge of the local area would be directly awarded official titles.
After estimating the luck that could be obtained by moving 300,000 people to enter the country, Zhou Bai waved his hand and said: "You will stick to the county and city until the last moment. There is no doubt about your character. The door of the General's Mansion will always be open to you. Qi. There is no shortage of luck, resources, including spiritual cultivation.”
As soon as the bold words came out, the eyes of the monks who were still a little confused suddenly lit up, and they looked at Li Yuan with gratitude.
However, the recruitment of talents must be postponed. Zhou Bai strode to the row of mortal officials and gentry before they could express their loyalty.
The leader was wearing an official uniform of seven-grade red robes. After asking, he found out that he was the magistrate of Cangbei County, Fuguo County, named Cui Zhe.
Zhou Bai actually learned from Chao Qu that before the ghost wave completely besieged the city, there were court officials who came to support the retreat.
But they only support a small number of people, such as the high-ranking officials and gentry in the city, and the most important core force, the Taoist priests.
In the end, almost all of the high-ranking officials in the county, including the county governor and magistrate, were evacuated. One of the largest county Taoist priest regiments originally stationed on the northern border only had half of its manpower left.
But Zhou Bai still asked deliberately: "Now the county magistrate Cui is in charge? Can't the county officials come forward?"
Cui Zhe had seen Zhou Bai abducting the imperial Taoist officials in an upright manner before, and he still wanted to give Geng Jie a direct remonstrance. The clinker Zhou Bai's question directly blocked his mouth.
"My lords and lords, please go to the capital to ask for help..." Cui Zhe hesitated and forced himself to say an answer that made him blush.
"Oh, I left 300,000 people behind and went to ask for help. I let you, a county magistrate, take charge of the overall situation, haha." Zhou Bai's yin and yang aura made Cui Zhe bend his straight back and made the officials and gentry behind him blush.
Of course, most blushes come from anger.
"The king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, and his ministers regard him as his heart and soul; the king regards his ministers as grass and mustard, and his ministers regard him as a bandit!"
"Since the imperial court has abandoned us and 300,000 people like nothing, then the Cangbei survivors will no longer be the subjects of Daxu." Immediately, a young scholar stood up and shouted to the officials and gentry.
His family had made great contributions to Daxu Kaibian, and his ancestors were rooted here, so his first feeling about what the imperial court did was betrayal.
Soon, one after another gentry expressed their stance, including county officials and representatives of the few remaining wealthy families in the county.
"General, we, the 300,000 people in Cangbei, all relied on the general's grace to escape death. Please don't mention the imperial court again in the future!"
"General, we are all willing to be loyal to you..."
Zhou Bai glanced at everyone, as if he could penetrate their hearts.
In the eyes of the officials and gentry, this demon-suppressing general looked like a real enlightened master, and people couldn't help but worship him.
Peng, Peng...
There were sounds of kneeling down one after another, and the Taoist officials on the side also bowed when they saw this.
In the end, only Cui Zhe remained standing in the entire hall.
"Lonely minister? Lonely minister of Daxu? As a fellow Jinshi, you chose to stay behind. I'm afraid you are not just loyal to the imperial court."
Zhou Bai didn't embarrass Cui Zhe, he just stood in front of him and pointed to the open door and asked.
Cui Zhe silently looked sideways, and there were many devout people thanking the city emperor, Zhou Bai, and them.
His eyes were red, but he still chose to remain silent.
Zhou Bai smiled: "No matter who you choose to be loyal to, you still have to do this task of organizing the relocation of people in the city."
"Everyone, listen carefully. Those who are willing to join the General's Mansion will be awarded official positions after arriving in Pingcang."
"And your first task is to assist County Magistrate Cui in mobilizing 300,000 people within three days. After three days, the Demon-Suppressing Army will come to escort you to move."
Perhaps it was Zhou Bai's status as co-leader of gods and men that came into play, or perhaps Cui Zhe was sincerely serving the people and he did not refuse this task.
Other officials and gentry may be confused, but still accept the order, especially the wealthy gentry who expressed their willingness to contribute and spend all their wealth.
It was impossible not to move. Zhou Bai showed the soil brought from outside the city in front of them. It was dark and completely saturated with Yin energy, and they might not be able to grow food for a year or two.
The clouds in the sky are hard to disperse, and there is no vegetation growing on the ground. If you stay in Cangbei County, you can only wait for death.
For the officials and gentry, this is not only for the safety of the whole city, but also a test for them by their new owners. Migration is the most test of their ability to do practical things.
"In addition, the achievements of the City Emperor God are indelible. In order to protect you, she is on the verge of death..."
Zhou Bai's biggest purpose in calling them here was to publicly support Chao Qu, to win more incense faith and to maintain the stability of the divine realm.
Looking at the temple's beams, pillars, doors and windows that smelled of decay, everyone silently began to take turns to burn incense, and then ordered the soldiers to maintain order in the surrounding area and ensure that the City Emperor Temple received incense offerings day and night.
Three days later, Zhou Bai personally erected two monuments on the road leading from Cangbei County to Cangnan.
One tablet says it is the place where the sword was repaired and Yang Ming protected the road; one tablet says it means returning home.
The 300,000 Cangbei people cannot forget to let them survive, and the guardians like Yang Ming cannot forget that one day, they or their descendants will come back.
The road to Cangnan is very long, hundreds of miles long. If it is not well organized, it will be a disaster.
Three days gave the people of the county and city time to mobilize, and it also gave the general's palace time to prepare.
Fortunately, the Central Committee of the General's Mansion made preparations in advance after learning that Zhou Bai was planning to rescue Cangbei County. They were separated by a mountain and knew more or less the situation in Cangbei.
According to the resources and strength of the three counties, the officials of the General Mansion allocated the number of relocated people. Two hundred thousand people were resettled in Pingcang, and Yangyuan and Yuan people each resettled 50,000 people.
In fact, according to common sense, it is definitely appropriate to place more talents in the two lower counties. However, because only Pingcang County has a solid foundation and sufficient food storage in the manor, it can only be temporarily resettled in Pingcang County.
Zhou Bai could make a big statement at this time. With the development level of Hongni Township, it would not be a problem to accommodate 100,000 people.
The receiving area is prepared, and then arrangements are made along the way, such as setting up rest points along the way for exhausted women, children, the elderly and the weak to rest, where food and drinking water are stored, etc.
In addition, more than 5,000 demon-suppressing troops, garrison troops, and local militia were mobilized, plus nearly 10,000 soldiers already present in the county and city, to escort them along the way.
They mainly clear roadblocks and snow, help move baggage, and are responsible for guarding against scattered wandering ghosts.
Although the ghost tide in Cangbei County was driven back to the underworld by Zhou Bai, there are still many unorganized wild ghosts. These wild ghosts also like to devour the flesh and blood of living people.
With a few scattered ones, a small group of soldiers can force them back with their masculine evil spirit. Even if there are real warriors, it is not impossible to kill ghosts with a butcher knife.
The Taoist priest group mainly patrols and eliminates single evil ghosts or groups of more than ten ghosts.
A total of sixteen of the eighteen monks in Cangbei County chose to join the General's Mansion, including four in the second realm and twelve in the first realm.
Including the original seventeen Taoist officials in the General's Mansion, there are five Taoist priests in the second realm and twenty-eight in the first realm. Zhou Bai's own cultivation in the third realm has not yet been known to the outside world.
Except for those who need to stay behind, twenty monks, including Yu Yueyun and Zhou Bai, have been patrolling along the route. There is a sufficient supply of spiritual stones and spiritual elixirs for restoring mana.
And this had to make Zhou Bai see Kuchun Sanren's achievements and decided to help him break through the second realm. After all, the higher the cultivation level, the better the elixir could be refined.
After gaining a few alchemy recipes and experience from Zhou Bai's handwriting, Kuchun Sanren built the first alchemy room on Cangshan Mountain and plunged into it to refine alchemy like crazy.
As a casual cultivator, he had never experienced that there was a force that tried its best to cultivate his feelings, and "treasured" the elixir for you to squander, as long as it produced something.
The Great Migration lasted for nearly a month, and many people spent the New Year on the road.
But in any case, the immigration of 300,000 people organized by the General's Office was concluded successfully.
This was a comprehensive reflection of the system's ability to govern. Nearby counties and even state governments were shocked by it. The sense of belonging of the subjects under the general's government was greatly enhanced. More and more people in the north of the county began to yearn for Zhou Bai to unify the county.
The influx of 300,000 mouths into the three counties south of the county consumes a lot of resources, but in the long run, the luck will greatly increase.
The most obvious thing is that the body of the Luck Dragon Elephant expanded again, and the red and yellow dragon carp, which was five feet long, crushed the nine-foot snake trapped in Bei'an County.
After only two months of digesting the demographic dividend, Zhou Bai will naturally win Bei'an.
