A large number of Taiping County Development Bonds were sold through the Yancheng Bond Exchange. Although these bonds are new to most people and most people have no intention of buying them, even if only a small number of people recognize and are willing to buy them, it is enough. Sold all 100 billion development bonds.
Soon after, Li County Development Bonds also went on sale. This time Wang Jujun did not issue as much as 100 billion. He only issued 20 billion, but he sold them successfully.
This was like a new beginning. Slowly, various bonds were listed one by one and began to be sold on the Yancheng Bond Exchange. A new era began inadvertently.
Unknowingly, time came to Baijia's third year, autumn.
After Yancheng was restructured and Jiang Hua became the King of Yan, he directly changed the reign name to the first year of Baijia. From then on, Yancheng's official newspapers and various periodicals also used the title "First Year of Baijia". It has been Baijia for three years now.
The Dao Extermination Order was issued a year before Baijia.
The release of "Hundred Schools of Thought" is the first year of "Hundred Schools of Thought".
The land of ten counties competed with Chaohe County, which was also the first year of the Hundred Schools.
Too many things started this year.
Today is already the autumn of Baijia's third year.
Today is the first day of the Intermediate School. The autumn harvest is almost over, and it's time for the children to start school.
This is also a deliberate adjustment of the school start time for the autumn harvest. Although these children today seem to be just teenagers, those who can go to the intermediate school are at least an alchemist. A genuine alchemist, even if they do not use Taoism to do it purely One person can hold up a dozen strong men, so where can I put my strength?
Which family would let such a strong worker go?
Especially during the autumn harvest, why don't you try to work? I can't beat you to death, you idiot!
"My lord, this year is already the third autumn harvest. In order to better save labor, as well as save time and energy, this autumn harvest is entirely the responsibility of Taoists. Taoists control various production and life instruments. On average, one Taoist Five to six hundred acres can be harvested in one day.”
"Today's Dongning Island has a total population of 15 million, ten counties, and over one million square kilometers. The terrain has also been changed on a large scale by the Taoists' magic. There are 600 million acres of cultivated land alone. The average yield per mu has reached 12 shi, and this year’s autumn harvest on Dongning Island alone has yielded a total of 7.2 billion shi of grain. According to one pound per qian, this is 720 billion qian.”
"This is because the conditions in several newly built counties are not yet mature and the construction of water conservancy projects is not in place."
"Like the five counties that were originally opened up, the average yield per mu has now reached fifteen stones!"
Fifteen stones, that is, fifteen hundred kilograms.
Such an output was unimaginable in classical feudal society, and one would never even dare to dream of it!
But now, after Taoists continue to improve Taoism, improve seeds, and invent various local treasures (fertilizers), the dream has become a reality.
In particular, the two spells of Jumang Spring Water and Shennong's Hand allow Taoists to quickly select good seeds and cultivate them on a large scale.
It seems to have only been three years, but the fine seeds cultivated by Shennong Temple have been reproduced for at least hundreds of generations. This is the convenience of Taoism, and it is indeed very convenient when used in production and life.
"Now, the improved seeds we have cultivated have begun to be supplied on a large scale to Chao, Yue, and Xu. Wu State once again sent a doctor to express dissatisfaction and asked us to stop supplying to Yue immediately. Otherwise, we will not It’s said that he didn’t predict what he said!”
"Only one doctor was sent?" Jiang Hua suddenly asked.
Xiao He nodded seriously: "Yes, only one doctor was sent."
Jiang Hua shook his head directly: "You are not looking at us at all, you are looking down on us!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Hua laughed at himself: "Yes, Yancheng has been at peace for three years. For three years, Yancheng has been immersed in peace. Every day is producing and selling products. Everyone is living a good life and is very happy. Happy, as if war was a very foreign thing.”
"Everyone wants to live in peace, and everyone hopes that this kind of peaceful development can continue. I think so too, but the more this happens, the harder it is to have a peaceful life!"
Hearing this, Wu Qi's eyes widened: "Really? Who are you going to hit?"
"Sima Fa once said: Although the motherland is big, if it is fond of war, it will perish. Although the world is safe, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger!"
"I have long felt that something is wrong. In the past three years, everything has been developed and everything is business. It seems that as long as we can make money, everything can be discussed..."
"Meng Ke has a saying that he is born in sorrow and dies in happiness. Although he is a loudmouth, very sarcastic and very annoying, his words are quite reasonable. I think we three people in Yancheng The new year is really too peaceful. Although everything is good, there has been no war for three consecutive years. This is the biggest abnormality!"
"What time is it now? It's the Warring States Period and the world is in chaos!"
"The state of Chu was fighting with the state of Xu and the state of Song. At the same time, it was also contacting the state of Yue to be wary of the state of Wu."
"Wu is fighting against Xu, and is wary of Chu and Yue."
"The state of Xu is fighting with the state of Chu, and at the same time, it is on guard against the state of Wu."
"On the one hand, Qi is fighting against Lai, on the other hand, it is wary of Wu, and on the other hand, it is wary of Lu."
"Where can there be true peace in this world?"
"It's great here, some people are even starting to get drunk!"
"There has only been peace for three years, but some people feel that where is the formation set up by Li Sheng anyway? There is no need to develop armaments or train troops every day. Some even think that the investment in training Xuan-level Taoist soldiers is too high and should be reduced. That’s right, this is like being kicked in the head by a donkey…”
"Other people, in the name of education, say that since Yancheng will be safe in a thousand years, it is not too late to wait until the last hundred years to train troops. They also say that before that, we can just develop peacefully. , for better development and the future, we must invest heavily in education.”
"Of course I am not opposed to investing in education. It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. I also understand that building an education system for the new era, and even extraordinary education for all, is also what it should be. However, this should not be based on reducing armaments. !”
"I didn't train the army for the first nine hundred years, but suddenly trained the army in the last hundred years. Is it too late? Is it useful?"
"What's more, if I don't respect the Three Saints very much, is it true that no one can break this formation today?"
"impossible!"
"Senior Changqing is training earth-level Taoist soldiers in the Kingdom of Wu. After these earth-level Taoist soldiers are born, they will definitely be able to easily break through this formation."
"Even if we don't mention Senior Changqing, today's Wuhou Helu, as long as he is willing to fight hard, can burst out Guanzi-level power in a short time. Coupled with Wu's background, it is easy to break through the formation."
"Even rural countries like the Wu State can break through the barrier even if they fight hard, but what about the Central Plains countries with profound foundations? What about the more powerful Chu and Jin countries?"
"Given the current situation, we don't know how many more years it will take for the Three Saints to start their second decisive battle with Jiutian. Will the Three Saints still have the time and energy to protect us by then?"
"I always believe that the Three Saints will definitely have no time to take care of us in a few decades or hundreds of years!"
"If we cannot develop enough power to fight against Wu within a few decades, Yancheng will be in danger! One day, we will even be driven off the land by the princes, and we will have to run into the sea to survive!"
Hearing this, Xiao He bowed his hands to Jiang Hua: "My lord, I have been in charge of Jinyiwei for the past three years, purchased shops in various countries, made good friends with the governors, and worked hard to carry out large-scale dumping. Although the majority of the profits are in the hands of the governors of various countries, But when a small amount adds up to a large amount, it is also an unimaginable astronomical figure.”
"Nowadays, countries are paying more attention to our Yancheng."
"In the eyes of most countries, Yancheng is just a piece of fat that they want to eat at any time."
"Although I don't want to admit it, after comparing various data, I found that compared with these princely states, we are indeed too weak."
"After collecting a lot of information, I discovered that it's not that the Three Saints don't want to kill the nobles at once, but that even if they really unite together, there is a high probability that they will not be able to kill the nobles."
At this point, Xiao He began to summarize history: "A long time ago, Taigong Wang assisted King Wu to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not long after King Wu died of injuries sustained in the Battle of Chaoge, Duke Zhou assisted the government."
"At that time, the core essence of the world was just a small group of territories centered on Luoyang."
"At that time, there were a large number of savages and barbarians all over the world."
"These barbarians and barbarians are not actually barbarians, but the descendants of Emperors Yan and Huang. Some of them are descendants of Emperor Yan of a certain generation, some are descendants of Emperor Zhuanxu, some are descendants of Dayu, and some are descendants of Boyi. However, if you trace your bloodline upwards, you can trace it back to the Emperors Yan and Huang, the military leader Jiang You, or the Suiren clan and the Fuxi clan."
"However, after millions of years of development by generations of princes, all princes who are not of Ji's bloodline have become barbarians."
"For example, in Xu State, the founding monarch was the second son of Boyi, the successor of Dayu."
"This bloodline may be considered noble and long-lasting, but in the eyes of the princes of the world, they are just barbarians!"
"In the circle of princes, Xu, Chu, and Qin are all treated in the same way, barbarians! Strong barbarians!"
"Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, successive Zhou emperors have more or less attacked the Xu State. It was not until the time of King Mu that the Xu State completely surrendered."
"What I want to say is that after millions of years of conquest, the overall strength of the princes today is even stronger than it was a million years ago, even much stronger!"
"In ancient times, the first-generation monarch could already serve as a local governor, but today, the first-generation monarch is just the founding monarch of a small vassal state."
"Guanzi's strength was placed at the end of the previous dynasty. It was the strength of the founding monarch or the British lord of the four princes. What was the status of the four princes? In addition to the great Shang at that time, the four great princes were the lords of the four directions, and the great Shang To rule the world together, all the great emperors of the Shang Dynasty in the past dynasties have tried to win over him."
"But in today's world, Senior Guanzi will only assist Duke Huan of Qi and the nine princes to bring order to the world."
"What I want to say is that ten thousand years ago, the strength of the nobles was no weaker than the overall strength of the nobles during the decisive battle between Shang and Zhou a million years ago!"
"And in the past ten thousand years, the Qi Refiners have certainly made great progress, but the nobles have made even greater progress!"
"None of the truly great nobles follow the ancient times. The Han family's Young Master Fei has been practicing Qi refining since he was a child. The Wei family's Young Master Si is now also a Taoist priest in the art of Qi refining."
"In the past ten thousand years, the heirs of the real great nobles have basically cultivated both bloodline and Qi refining."
"With the help of the knowledge and power of Qi Refiners, the nobles have made greater progress in the past ten thousand years!"
"Of course, over the past ten thousand years, the Three Saints have certainly made great progress."
"Now, it is indeed safe in a short period of time. But as time goes by, especially after the decisive battle in the future, will the Three Saints really be able to take care of us? Will we really not become the weakness of the Three Saints?"
"Many times I wonder if the reason why our Yancheng can develop so smoothly is because the princes of various countries deliberately indulge themselves. When the decisive battle comes, this place will be the weak spot of the Three Saints."
Speaking of this, Xiao He also looked at Jiang Hua nervously.
To be honest, Xiao He felt very happy during the three years in Yancheng.
Whether he is a royal guard or a cabinet bachelor, Xiao He finds many tasks very interesting, especially when dealing with the governments of various countries. The cunning, cunning, and witty governors all cost Xiao He a lot of thought and energy.
Over the past three years, Jiang Hua's trust has also made Xiao He very satisfied.
Xiao He felt that even if he left Yancheng, it might be difficult to find a master like Jiang Hua who was willing to fully trust him and give him full power and let him use his abilities.
Therefore, if possible, Xiao He really doesn't want to see Yancheng disappear in a flash like a shooting star.
If possible, Xiao He really hopes that Yancheng can exist for a while, and at least become a great prince. Only in this way can he live up to Xiao He's wholehearted assistance, right?
Hearing this, Jiang Hua smiled: "Gu is not a person who doesn't accept advice, why are you so nervous?"
"You are right, Gu has been thinking about this issue for a long time."
"Our grain yield is already fifteen dan per mu, which is much better than when the Dao Extermination Order was first issued four years ago."
"Our mysterious armor has now been developed into the fifth generation, and its defensive capabilities are at least three times stronger than the first generation."
"Our Taoist soldiers, there are already fifteen yellow-level Taoist soldiers alone."
"Even the Xuan-level Taoist soldiers who are comparable to the first-generation monarchs now have two, and the third one is about to be born."
"Even the power of a real person is fast."
Having said this, Jiang Hua looked at Wu Qi who was standing aside.
Wu Qi nodded vigorously: "I can break through at any time, but if there is a hearty battle, then my breakthrough will be more enjoyable!"
"The strength in all aspects has become stronger, but the people's desire to fight has weakened. Of course this is not possible. It is time to start a war!"
After three years of farming, it’s time to test the results.
