A large number of people like the Li family and his son set out from all over the world. Some of them were Taoist priests, some were Taoist priests, and many were nobles. They are about to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and come to Yancheng.
Jiang Hua was not very clear about this at the moment. In other words, these talents are unexpected surprises.
Fortunately, today's Yancheng is no longer what it was three years ago, and there is enough foundation to accommodate these outstanding talents.
Today, Jiang Hua once again cast a spell and created a projection. He stopped wandering around Yancheng today and came to Chunmu County today.
Chunki County is surrounded by forests and rivers. In this era, the dense jungle is equal to monsters.
A large number of rivers equals a large number of water monsters.
Every piece of land carved out of the forest by humans was built with the blood of our ancestors.
Today is the time to open up wasteland.
For this reason, many nobles from the four southern counties were invited.
The nobles in the seven western counties are basically gone. Six counties were replaced by Wu nobles, and now they have all been expelled. The counties in the north will have other places for them to visit, so the people here today are mainly representatives of the nobility from the four counties in the south.
Although the four southern counties were wise enough to surrender after Yue Guo's doctor Wenzhong ran away, they still wanted to bring them over to see Yancheng's strength and shock them to prevent them from having some inappropriate ideas.
The leader of these nobles is the Zhang family of the Qing clan. The person standing in front of Jiang Hua is Zhang Tingting of the Zhang family. Nearby are his son Zhang Mao and Zhao Hui, the representative of the local small and medium-sized nobles.
"Today is the first day we meet. Logically speaking, I should visit you in person to show my sincerity."
"However, when Gu Ni attacked Xiang Liu, he suffered a lot of backlash. He is still recovering from his injuries, so he had no choice but to send this projection over to meet us. Please don't be restrained and feel at ease."
However, when Jiang Hua said this, everyone just listened and decided whether they should be restrained or restrained.
"Yancheng is different from Chaoguo."
"In the past, the Chao Kingdom was afraid that we, the four parties in the southeast, northwest and northwest would become powerful, so they always focused on containing and suppressing the four parties, and used various means to squeeze us."
"I heard that in the past, every time there was a demon disaster in the south, the first reaction of the Central Government of Chao Kingdom was that it was time to make a fortune again, and then they began to lower the purchase price of demon materials and raise the prices of various wound medicines, armors, The prices of weapons and arrows are one low and one high, and all that is lost are the blood of outstanding men from the four southern counties."
"Our nobles from the four southern counties are all good and have always been at the forefront of resisting the demons!"
Relatively speaking, the nobles in the south can maintain a superficial peace, and are sincerely willing to accept them as nobles for their great achievements in slaying demons and demons, and are also truly willing to support them in resisting demons and monsters. Therefore, there is also a lot of unity.
Moreover, the biggest feature of the south is that there are many small and medium-sized nobles. The Zhang family of the Qing family often plays the role of an arbiter. Most matters among the nobles are discussed, which has the flavor of an aristocratic republic.
"In the past, the four southern counties resisted the demons and shed blood, sweat, and tears. This was all caused by the incompetent Central Government of the Nest Kingdom. It will not happen again in the future."
"In order to show support for the four southern counties and to reward them for their past contributions to resisting demons, the Lord's Mansion has some ideas, but I don't know if everyone will welcome them, so I will discuss them with you here first."
When Jiang Hua said this, Xiao He stood aside and silently observed everyone's expressions. He planned to see who really wanted to discuss with Jiang Hua and write down their names...
"Now the Jiang family can be traced back to 800 years ago, which is not a long history, so this time the four southern counties are limited to 800 years."
"Anyone who kills a great demon within the past eight hundred years, as long as there is a record of it, will be directly given a black armor, a reward of 10 million yuan, and admission to Yancheng Junior Academy and Intermediate Academy."
"Anyone who kills a little demon within eight hundred years, as long as there is evidence or history, will be given five hundred kilograms of fine steel, a reward of one million yuan, and admission to the Yancheng Junior Academy and Intermediate Academy."
"Anyone who kills demons within eight hundred years will be rewarded with one hundred thousand yuan, and will also be given a place for admission to the Yancheng Junior Academy."
"As for those who have killed the demon king in the past eight hundred years, I will write a plaque myself and hang it on the gate. It will be called the Hero's Home and will be rewarded with 100 million yuan. As for other rewards, there will be no less. "
Hearing this, many representatives of small and medium-sized nobles were almost drooling.
Where have they felt this kind of warmth in the past?
Immediately, some noble representatives began to curse!
"The dog's nest country!"
"I used to fight to the death with demons on the front line. In the end, the wealthy merchants in Chao Kingdom would only say that there have been many demon disasters recently, so they couldn't sell them at a high price. The big demon meat that usually costs one thousand yuan per catty can now only be sold for one hundred yuan. . As long as Chaoguo is an individual in the past, the south will not only have four counties!"
"Are these true? We slayed demons, but we didn't give Yancheng a penny of benefits. Just give us so much money for nothing? Why does it feel like a dream!"
"How can there be a lot of money? The Demon King only gave me 100 million."
"Can you speak? This is for free! You killed the demon king, and Yancheng didn't get a dime of benefits. Now I'm giving you 100 million yuan. Do you still have a conscience?"
"Yeah, in the past, you killed the demon king, and there was no benefit. Now, if you kill the demon king, you will be given a plaque of the Hero's Home, 100 million yuan, and various permissions and benefits. Why, Do you still miss the old nest country?"
"Who said that? I was just a little excited for a moment and couldn't believe it."
"You know, if we go back eight hundred years, almost every household in the four southern counties has killed goblins, right? Doesn't this mean that each family can get one hundred thousand dollars? And they can also get admission to the Yancheng Junior Academy?"
"This kind of treatment treats us as fellow citizens of Yancheng. It treats us as our own people!"
"Yes, this is the treatment of one of our own!"
"If the money is really given this time, even if it is only 20%, the people in the four counties will happily sing praises to Mr. Yan!"
“Is this the benefit of having money?”
"Awesome! Really awesome!"
"After this wave of money-spreading, the four southern counties should return home! If anyone continues to refuse to return, he has no conscience, he is a lackey of Chao State, he is a lackey of Yue State, a lackey of Wu State, and he is a salt traitor! "
Listening to everyone's discussion, Jiang Hua smiled and said: "However, I am not familiar with the four southern counties, so it is not convenient to directly make a specific list."
Having said this, Jiang Hua looked at Zhang Ting who was nearby: "Sir, maybe you are worried about being alone?"
"Yes! I am willing! Of course I am willing!" With that said, Zhang Ting bowed to Jiang Hua in front of everyone.
"I bow this time not for myself, but for the millions of people in the four southern counties. I also bow for the heroes who have died on the front line against the demons in the four southern counties over the years. Thank you, Lord!"
Seeing this scene, other nobles reacted immediately, no matter what they were thinking, and bowed to Jiang Hua: "Salt Lord, I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of the four counties!"
After everyone bowed down, Jiang Hua waved his hand: "The heroes deserve it. They have been resisting the demons, so of course they can be called heroes! In Yancheng, heroes must not bleed or shed tears!"
The gift has been given, the next step is to show deterrence. Giving both kindness and power is the kingly way. Blindly giving favors will only make the other party get carried away and do wrong things. In order to prevent these people from doing wrong things, Jiang Hua turned around and said, "Uncle Master, I'll leave it to you to clean up this jungle and create a safe road."
Hearing this, Young Master Zhang Mao immediately said: "Father, I remember that Chunmu County is eight hundred miles away from Chaonan County even in a straight line, right?"
Zhang Ting pretended to think seriously for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
Immediately, some nobles reacted and began to actively cooperate: "Yes, this is eight hundred miles away, very far."
"Master, are you planning to break through these 800 miles of jungle and find a way? Master, you have really sacrificed too much for the people of the four counties. With this road, our four counties will no longer be alone, but together with us." Yancheng is directly connected, which is a blessing."
"The Lord is benevolent."
Listening to everyone's flattery, Jiang Hua shook his head: "No, today's purpose is not as simple as paving a way."
"If it's just a road, it can only last for a short period of time. It could be a few months or a few years. The road will be swallowed up by the jungle and eventually be cut off again. This is not good. I like to do things alone, and I like to get it done in one step."
Having said this, Jiang Hua touched the void, and a pot appeared in his hand. This pot was called the Star Spirit Pot. Little bits of starlight were released all over his body. After Jiang Hua took it out, the surrounding sky darkened and filled with With streaks of starlight.
Just taking it out directly changed the celestial phenomena in the nearby area. Such power made many people unable to help but marvel at it.
As soon as the thought occurred, the Xingling Pot flew into the hands of Taoist Changkong. Holding the Lingbao, Taoist Changkong flew into the sky. Astonishing mana was poured into the Star Spirit Pot, and the power of the Lingbao was gradually stimulated.
At this moment, all the monsters in the jungle felt this fatal threat.
Especially the demon kings jumped up and stared at the star spirit pot in the sky.
After watching for a while, a demon king took a whole family of children with him and ran away without saying a word.
Can't afford it!
I really can’t afford to offend him!
The existence of a suspected spiritual treasure cannot be provoked by just a demon king.
Slip away!
Seeing such a decisive Demon King, the other Demon Kings had mixed reactions.
"It's such a disgrace to the Demon King. He ran away before anyone could take action. How can he still have any dignity as a Demon King?"
After saying the cruel words, the demon king turned around, grabbed several ladies, held several children in his mouth, and ran away. As for the little demons who came from enlightenment, at such a critical moment, who cares about their life or death?
The demon kings saw the opportunity and ran fast. The big demons turned into their original shapes and ran rampant in the jungle, and they didn't run very slowly.
But the little goblins couldn't do it. Ordinary goblins didn't understand what was happening at this moment, and few even tried to escape. As for the little monsters, many of them were quite intelligent. Although they didn't know why they ran away, the big monsters all ran away, and many clever little monsters followed suit.
However, the little demon's cultivation is too shallow, how far can he run in a hurry?
A moment later, the Star Spirit Pot had expanded to a thousand feet in size, and the sky above the 800-mile jungle from Chunmu County to Chaonan County had turned from day to night, shrouded in starlight.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Ting was so excited that he was speechless. Many representatives of small and medium-sized nobles also feel very complicated at this moment.
I originally thought that a rich man had come to take advantage of me, but just now I was thinking of finding ways to defraud him of his money in the future.
But I never expected that before long, the four southern counties and Chunmu County would be fucking bordering each other. After the border, Yancheng's army can come directly. After the border, Yancheng officials can directly manage the four southern counties, no longer an enclave!
From now on, there will really be a father on the head, and you really have to listen to Yancheng!
When they think of this, many small and medium-sized nobles feel bad.
However, looking at the Xingling Pot that was getting stronger and stronger in the sky, all the dissatisfaction was suppressed in his heart: Not convinced? Hold it in!
boom
The Star Spirit Pot continued to accumulate momentum, but the momentum was so strong that lightning and thunder appeared in the sky from time to time.
The aura of Lingbao made Xingling Pot look like the brightest child, immediately attracting the attention of the entire nest country.
"What? This is the legendary spiritual treasure? They even have spiritual treasures? Doesn't this mean that Yancheng will be able to establish a country soon?"
"Lingbao? Lingbao has a spirit. Why should we recognize him? Why?"
"It's just a spiritual treasure. I heard that the Heavenly Book in the hands of Taiping Taoist is a spiritual treasure. Therefore, when Taiping Taoist promised that if he could not repay the debt in the future, he could read the Heavenly Book once with 10 billion bonds, which made Taiping County Development Bond so Popular, this is a spiritual treasure!”
"That's right, Taoist Taiping didn't get the recognition of Lingbao because he was an innate immortal. Then the Han family's son Fei was not the first generation monarch, but I heard that he also got the recognition of Lingbao. It seems to be an innate divine sword called Nilin. Or something..."
"Why is no one going to grab it? What if we get it?"
"You are stupid, do you understand that Lingbao has a spirit? You are not a destined person, and Lingbao will not respect you! Unless you are the first generation monarch or a Xiantian, and use it by force. This Lingbao has an owner at first glance, sir. , Taoist priests can’t defeat the spiritual treasure at all, and they can’t even grab it.”
"The first generation monarch can grab it, but the problem is, who knows if this is not Lord Yan fishing?"
"Fishing? Are you saying that Mr. Yan has been pretending that he is seriously injured? All of this is to lure people into taking the bait?"
"This is what you said..."
"The situation of Lord Yan has been accomplished. The Chao Kingdom is 80% likely to fall into his hands. Soon, the Salt Kingdom may be born. What impact will this have on the general trend of the world?"
"He is indeed an unstable element, and the situation in the world is getting more and more dangerous!"
