Wu Tie killed Xiang Zhan with a knife, killing him very hard.
'薖' is a beautiful word, just like the word '玉' in Yuzhou, Wu Tie's original fiefdom.
Qizhou, as its name suggests, is also located near Qingqiu City, the place where Longxing was once the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, and one of the core states of more than 100 states. The state has rich water and soil, a peaceful climate, and extremely rich and nourishing earth veins. Therefore, it is famous for its special products of exotic flowers and rare herbs, including many rare elixirs.
The Three Kingdoms have a "Pharmacopoeia", which contains over a million rare and common medicinal materials. Putting aside the common medicinal materials that are not valuable, more than 85% of the precious elixirs in the "Pharmacopoeia" are produced in Qizhou.
Feng Shui treasure land, a rich prefecture like a cornucopia.
Aozhou was also a treasure land directly controlled by the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty. This time the Linghu family took over the country. In order to reward the merit, Linghu Qingqing generously took Aozhou out and granted it to the most powerful person in the army. The strong Xiang family.
It's just that the Xiang family members are extremely bad at business. Within a few months of taking Aozhou into their hands, less than half of the owners of the large and small chambers of commerce and large and small medicine mountains were lost. The monthly taxes paid by Aozhou basically dropped by one per month. into about.
Therefore, Wu Tie threatened and killed him with a knife, and Xiang Zhan generously compensated Wu Tie for Feizhou.
Anyway, for the time being, it seems that Feizhou is in the hands of the Xiang family and cannot bring much income to their family.
Wu Tie and the ministers around Wu Tie all knew that this time he hit the Xiang family seven inches in the face. The Xiang family had to bow their heads and admit defeat. They could not bear the responsibility of delaying the military plane, so Xiang Zhan happily used it. Qizhou redeemed his people.
But this feud is finally settled.
The Xiang family has never been good-tempered, and the Xiang family has never been good-tempered.
Wu Tie humiliated so many of their clan members, extorted an entire state fiefdom from them, beat up their contemporary clan leader, and even killed Xiang Zhang, one of the "Five Tigers of the Xiang Family" of this generation of the Xiang Family.
This is a deadly feud.
As long as they have passed the stage of the all-out attack by the Kingdom of Wei, the Xiang family will settle accounts with Wu Tie sooner or later.
"But, wait until they calm down..." Wu Tie smiled and shook his head, standing on the Siling battleship, overlooking the steaming clouds and lush green land of Qizhou.
"They can't take it easy." Bai Yao stood next to Wu Tie and shook his head gently: "Grandpa Huang, you won't let them take it easy... There are people around Linghu Qingqing, let alone They slowed down."
"So, this Yuzhou is my territory?" Wu Tie smiled brightly: "It happens to be connected with my Yuzhou fiefdom, and the ten states are connected together. I like this feeling of neatness. If there were enclaves everywhere, how difficult would it be to manage them?"
Bai Yao chuckled. She flicked her long sleeves, and the aura-rich water mist below parted to the left and right. An extremely fresh nine-bearded blood velvet grass broke free from a thick pile of moss. Its rhizome flew up into the sky intact and fell into Bai Yao's body. hands.
Nine-bearded blood velvet grass is a top-grade treasure medicine in the "Pharmacopoeia". It can strengthen blood and qi, replenish the essence, and specializes in treating various diseases of deficiency and deficiency. When used to make elixirs, there are dozens of body-tempering elixirs specially used for generals in the Tibetan Realm in the army, and the main medicine is Jiuxu Blood Velvet Grass.
The nine-bearded blood velvet grass in Bai Yao's hand is three feet and six inches high, which means that this nine-bearded blood velvet grass has been in the fire for 360 years and is worth thousands of gold on the market. If it is purchased with Yuanjing, then it will be too much. Dozens of Yuanjing are needed.
As for the Nine-bearded Blood Velvet Grass, there are an average of two or three plants in one area in the forest below. The density is not high, but it is definitely not small. And this mountain forest stretches for hundreds of miles. There are more than 100,000 Nine-bearded Blood Velvet Grass in the mountain forest with enough heat
This is a precious medicine worth hundreds of millions of gold.
Qingqiu Divine Kingdom imposes heavy taxes on the elixir trade. For every elixir transaction, the Hudian Commercial Tax Department will take 50% of the transaction amount.
In other words, if the Xiang family knew a little bit about business, they could donate hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to the mountain forest in front of them with the nine-bearded blood velvet grass, enough to support an elite force of tens of thousands. Legion.
"What a treasure land. When the Xiang family comes back, they will definitely have a dispute with me over Aozhou... So, let's let them stop." Wu Tie's smile became brighter: "Elder Princess, this person from Aozhou For all the medicinal herbs, I’ll leave it to the Baiji Chamber of Commerce.”
Bai Yao smiled slightly and nodded demurely.
The development and expansion of Wutie requires funds. Bai Yao, Sima Wuyou and the others run many things that require money.
Isn't it just for this that Bai Yao, with the dignity of a dignified princess, comes out to run Bai Yao Chamber of Commerce in person
After dispatching an invincible army to Qizhou, Wu Tie invited Bai Yao to return to Anyi City. Prince An's Mansion and Bai Yao Chamber of Commerce signed a package of cooperation contracts. A large part of Prince An's business resources were entrusted to Bai Yao Chamber of Commerce for operation.
All of this was done openly and openly, and Wu Tie and Bai Yao had no intention of hiding it.
However, it is very common for the leader of a feudal country to find several agents and chambers of commerce. No one, including Linghu Qingqing, cares about this. This trivial matter can no longer cause any ripples to the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, which is fighting on two battlefields at the same time.
The satisfied White Ibis took the Crested Ibis and the Dragon and left with the fully loaded transport fleet.
The transport ship of the Baiji Chamber of Commerce was filled with prisoners with bad natures that Wu Tie was unwilling to take, and it also contained countless specialties from Wu Tie's territory. With these resources, the Baiji Chamber of Commerce will grow rapidly and at the same time bring rich returns to Wu Tie.
Time flies like water, and more than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Baiji Chamber of Commerce's much larger fleet made two more trips to the Wutie fiefdom.
With Wu Tie's endorsement, the Baiji Chamber of Commerce not only grew in size, but the armed merchant ships originally used for escort were blatantly replaced by military-standard warships, and even the shadow of the Titan Soldier appeared on them.
Anyway, many people now know that Baiji Chamber of Commerce is Wu Tie's agent, but Wu Tie controls the Ancient Army. In order to protect his own interests, he secretly equips his own chamber of commerce with some prohibited things. This is a matter of course... Three Kingdoms All the great nobles did this.
For more than half a year, Qingqiu Divine Kingdom fought fiercely in the western and southwest theaters.
The reorganized legions continued to fill the battlefield, and then they were quickly exhausted by the armies of Dawei and Dawu.
Wu Tie did not inquire about the specific results of the war, but it was said that the size of the Military Funeral Department had expanded more than ten times. Every day, notification documents of countless fallen soldiers were sent back to their homes, causing countless women, children and the elderly to burst into tears.
In the entire Qingqiu Divine Kingdom, except for the fiefdoms governed by Wu Tie's ten states, which are calm, the other states have been fully mobilized and entered a state of all-out war.
Governments in various places in the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom began to forcibly register civilian monks, and started a Baojia and Sitting system. If a registered monk dared to abscond, all his neighbors would be convicted and immediately be imprisoned and sent to the border army.
The arsenals of various states, counties, and feudal states have been opened, and standard armors and weapons have begun to be distributed to civilian monks. Various large-scale military equipment listed as taboo items have also begun to be distributed. Various places have begun to organize militia corps and have begun to familiarize themselves with them. These large ordnance.
In the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom's arsenal, a large number of elixirs to assist cultivation have been distributed, and the officials are doing their best to improve the cultivation of civilian monks.
Even the martial arts halls run by the military in various places began to teach secret techniques that were more powerful than the third-grade Xuan Gong, the sixth-grade Xuan Gong, and the ninth-grade Xuan Gong, and had stronger attributes in all aspects.
Various military formations that were impossible for ordinary people to touch in the past were also taught, and the militiamen of the reorganized militia corps began to practice military formations in a decent manner.
At the same time, Qingqiu Divine Kingdom issued a policy to encourage childbirth, and local governments secretly began to distribute some secret medicines such as Duozi Pills to married women of the right age. This multi-child pill has miraculous effects. As long as you take it on time, once you become pregnant, you can conceive at least twins and at most quadruplets.
What made the people even more silent was that the Qingqiu Kingdom began to force young people of appropriate age to get married.
When girls are fourteen and boys are sixteen, they must get married, and boys are encouraged to marry more. The order issued by Hudian is that if a man marries more than three wives and concubines at one time, the local government will give him a subsidy to support his family.
In the originally prosperous southeastern states, under the influence of the government, a large number of cash crops were reduced in planting area, and a large number of various rice staple foods began to be planted. The prices of luxury goods such as silks and brocades on the market have been falling steadily, while the prices of food have quietly increased by about 30%.
Wu Tie's controlled Aozhou also received a secret order three months ago, requiring him to effectively utilize all the land in Aozhou and rush to plant and multiply some special medicinal herbs.
These herbs are all fast-growing and powerful, but their medicinal properties are overbearing and mixed. After being refined into elixirs, various impurities will remain, which can damage the body and leave behind low-grade herbs.
However, these medicinal herbs are also the main materials used by the military to refine various kinds of medicines for wounds, internal injuries, and pills that can quickly replenish mana specifically for lower-level soldiers.
The secret recipe requires Wu Tie to increase the cultivation of these low-grade herbs, and with it, there is also a purchase contract from the military department.
The purchase volume is huge and can be called astronomical. Although the unit price of the purchase is about 30% lower than the market price, due to the purchase volume, Wu Tie can still make huge profits as long as he completes the purchase contract on time.
The northwest corner of Qizhou, close to Yuzhou.
This is the middle of Huanyun Mountain, a main mountain range in Qizhou. There are many ground veins and water systems in the mountain. The altitude difference is large and the terrain is complex. It is the most suitable growing point for some rare treasures.
This place was originally owned by the 'Bian family', a top drug dealer in Quzhou. However, more than a year ago, the Xiang family took over Quzhou. Xiang Yuan, one of the five tigers of the Xiang family, passed by Huanyun Mountain for some reason. Knowing what happened that day, in short, the Bian family's overnight home completely disappeared. The Bian family villa that originally spanned dozens of hills was razed to the ground, with not a single intact brick left.
After the Xiang family handed over Quzhou to Wu Tie as compensation, the Bian family had completely disappeared, and Huanyun Mountain naturally became Wu Tie's private property.
Now, opposite the original Bian family's villa, separated by a grand canyon with a depth of ten thousand meters, on the opposite mountainside, a mountain city stretching for nearly a hundred miles stands majestically.
The mountain city is more than one hundred and eighty miles long from east to west and a hundred miles wide from north to south. A great man flattened dozens of hills to create such a flat land and build such a majestic city.
Just a few days after the mountain city was built, a large number of formation mages in robes were busy outside the city, trying their best to build various powerful city defense restrictions.
These formation mages were sent by Gongyang Sanli on his own initiative.
When Wu Tie was the commander of the Imperial City Army and Horses Department, he built a new Imperial City Army and Horses Department yamen, and wanted to find a few qualified formation masters to arrange formations for his yamen. As a result, he searched the entire imperial capital and couldn't find any. to a cooperative array mage.
But this time, the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom was short of troops on the front line, and its elite legions were defeated one after another. Especially the legions commanded by the madmen of the Xiang family suffered heavy casualties.
With no choice, Linghu Qingqing could only order to send large quantities of expensive giant soldiers to the battlefield to help.
Now that the Ancient Army is in the hands of Wu Tie, he wants to take something from Wu Tie... Gongyang Sanli not only has to provide enough consumable construction materials, but Wu Tie also takes the opportunity to put forward conditions and let Gongyang Sanli deploy a group of top-notch ones. The formation master came over.
Tens of thousands of formation mages were busy inside and outside the city. When the mountain city was built, the foundation had already communicated with the earth veins and attracted huge earth vein energy. At this moment, it is just a matter of arranging the pre-designed formation restrictions and connecting them with the earth veins, and you are done.
Dozens of small and medium-sized castles have been completed near this mountain city, and hundreds of barracks in the mountains and forests further away are already full of people.
Countless dwarfs, dwarves, and ratmen were busy in the mountains and forests, taking care of the medicinal herbs in the mountains and forests.
A large group of giants trudged through the mountains, driving away wild beasts and fighting poisonous snakes. At the same time, they opened roads and opened thoroughfares in the mountains and forests.
Groups of cattle warriors, werewolf warriors, and those strong python and dragon warriors wore simple soft armor and roamed in the mountains and forests in groups. On the one hand, they serve as overseers, supervising the work of the dwarfs, dwarves, and ratmen. At the same time, they patrol the surrounding areas to prevent any intrusion by outsiders.
High in the sky, there were feathered men with wings of various colors sprouting from their backs, holding long bows and slowly moving through the clouds and mist.
These feathered men are accompanied by a large group of ferocious eagles, eagles, rocs and other newly tamed war birds. Their eyes are like knives, overlooking the earth from high altitude. Even if a mouse wants to get close to this mountain city within a thousand miles, it will be difficult to escape. their search.
Looking closer, above the only city gate in the south of the mountain city, there is a huge plaque made of pure gold hanging upright. In the middle, there are three big characters with arrogant and domineering words - 'Wujiabao' written in the middle. !
The same cities were built all over Qizhou.
Those cities are either called 'a certain family city', or a 'certain family fort', or a 'certain family town'... all kinds of things were built urgently by Wu Tie in the past few months after receiving the secret order.
Around these large and small cities, new medicinal fields were opened up, and countless low-grade elixirs were sown.
Wu Tie did not use the original natives of Quzhou to build these large and small cities. He granted them all to the old people from Zezhou who had followed him over the years.
For example, Li Ergouzi, he got a 'Li Family Fort' on the easternmost side of Huanyun Mountain, and had hundreds of thousands of slaves bought from Demon Suppression City to work for him.
Only Wu Tie, as well as brothers Wu Jin, Wu Yin, and Wu Tong knew that those newly built cities were nothing.
The only owner of this Wu Family Fort is a direct descendant of the Wu Family from the underground world.
However, the origins of these direct descendants of the Wu family, and even their household registration files, have been carefully prepared. Even their family genealogy, the life experiences of their ancestors, etc. are well documented.
The direct descendants of the Wu family in this mountain city are completely legal citizens of the Kingdom of God.
As long as they are not stupid enough to reveal their origins, they can walk openly and openly in broad daylight.
