Fu Mansion
There were dark clouds in the sky, which was a bit gloomy. There was a row of armored soldiers patrolling, with a relaxed look.
Ren Wei came in under the leadership of Jia Bing and reported in.
"I've seen the young master. I haven't seen him for a long time, and he looks even more majestic." Ren Wei entered and saluted Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but laugh, and he asked directly, "How is the specific situation on Liujin Island?"
Ren Wei stopped laughing and took out the account and said, "Sir, here is the account. Please take a look at it."
Pei Ziyun took the account and read it, and Ren Weicai continued: "Some time ago, the imperial navy was stationed on Liujin Island. Needless to say, it was safe. In order to supply tens of thousands of people, many buildings were built. Now it is much more prosperous. All these have left Gave it to us.”
Pei Ziyun looked all the way and felt confident. He pointed at one place and asked, "What is the reason for this refugee expenditure?"
Ren Wei was very familiar with this, and after thinking about it, he said: "Master, in the past three months, due to the war, many people have been temporarily unemployed and have no food to eat, so they are willing to work cheaply."
"According to the instructions of the young master, we will accept all comers and arrange for reclamation, road construction, canal digging and other construction projects. We will select honest and willing farmers and skilled craftsmen who are willing to settle on the island to join the island."
"If the young master is not only willing to accept 200 households, he can accept more people. Now there are 500 households and 3,000 people on the island. Although there will be output in the future, the short-term investment will be much larger, but the production on the island and construction has been greatly accelerated, and now it is self-sufficient.”
"Um!"
When Pei Ziyun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. Since he had to fight every day, he couldn't take care of all these details.
"What are the specific conditions of the island's canal excavation?" Pei Ziyun asked, this is very important.
"The main water channel on the island has been built, and the water wheel has also been built, but not many are suitable for paddy fields. Five thousand acres have been temporarily opened up, and some terraced fields have been cultivated. There is still a shortage of cattle. Now that the war is over, we are ready to buy more."
"The grazing is going very well. The grazing areas have been divided. There is no way to escape from the island anyway, and there are no natural enemies. A large number of lambs and calves have already surrendered."
"The sugar cane for September planting is ready."
“A small salt pan was also opened up.
Ren Wei explained these details one by one. Pei Ziyun listened quietly to Ren Wei's report and nodded.
"How's the trade going?"
Pei Ziyun listened and analyzed one by one. When he thought of trade, he asked, for him, this is the most important source of wealth in the future.
Listening to the question about trade, Ren Wei thought for a while and said: "Because of the reputation of the young master, our fleet trade is very smooth without any obstruction. After the war is over, ships have docked at the island dock for supplies."
"Well, we can continue to expand trade. We have Liujin Island, which gives us a natural advantage. However, the scale of the salt fields should not be expanded. Salt is government-run after all. We are self-sufficient and no one talks about it. It doesn't matter if we carry a small amount and sell it. More It won't be good if it doesn't," Pei Ziyun said.
"Yes, sir."
Ren Wei responded, and Pei Ziyun asked: "Where are the various systems?"
"According to the instructions of the young master, Liujin Island and Shao Island are ten miles apart, with fifty households in each mile. The chiefs and clerks have been set up, and the land has been distributed. No tax will be collected that year, but one-fifth of the land tax will be collected next year. .”
"The five pavilions on the island also serve as post stations. The five soldiers are all fully recruited. Now the young men from all over the country are being trained. According to the rules of the young master, only those who pass the training can serve as officials, soldiers or sailors in the fleet."
"These, along with the personal guards on the island, are all presided over by Miss He (He Qingqing). There are now two teams and twelve people."
"The mayor's office in the town, household registration officials, tax collectors, prison officials, inspection teams, port officials, warehouse officials, and medical officials are all in place, and a school has also been opened."
"Mainly due to the war in Yingzhou, some literate people were willing to move to the island."
"As for the ships, according to the master's instructions, they are all publicly owned and will be given dividends. There are currently seven merchant ships and two patrol boats on the island."
"Sir, I have fulfilled my mission. All the systems have been implemented. Of course, there are still some minor problems in operation now, but I think it will be fine after a while."
Ren Wei was indeed King Lu's minister in his previous life, and it was really easy to manage a gold-liquid island, which seemed to be very orderly. Now that the foundation is getting fuller, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but be satisfied, and sighed: "You must be talented, and with you here, I feel much more relieved.”
"Young Master commanded an army of tens of thousands, and Yingzhou raised a hundred thousand troops to rebel. It was peaceful in three months. What does my ability mean?" Ren Wei said, and this was actually true.
Pei Ziyun smiled. At this moment, a Taoist official came in hurriedly and saluted when he saw the person: "Sir, there is an urgent military intelligence report coming from the imperial court."
"Say quickly." Pei Ziyun listened to the urgent military situation, his eyes narrowed, and he saw the Taoist official reporting: "Master, it's bad, King Lu broke through the Suolong Pass and marched towards the capital!"
"Ma'am, this is the battle report."
The Taoist officer stepped forward and handed over the copied battle report. Pei Ziyun read them one by one, his face darkened, and he thought to himself: "Xie Chengdong's carelessness caused a storm. It should not be underestimated."
Ren Wei was listening to the news about King Lu, but he didn't know why his heart moved, and he just burst out laughing. Back then, his relationship with King Lu was over, and now King Lu rebelled at this time, but it was a dead end. Fortunately, he jumped out early. This quagmire.
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun threw the report on the table and said to Ren Wei, "That's it. You go to the accounting room to get one hundred taels of silver, which is a reward for your hard work during this period. You go down first."
"Yes, Young Master" Ren Wei retreated. Since Pei Ziyun led hundreds of thousands of people to pacify Yingzhou, his attitude has changed greatly, and he has obviously taken the position of a retainer.
"You go down too, I know this." Pei Ziyun looked at the Taoist official and said, and the Taoist officer immediately retreated.
Pei Ziyun took a deep breath and sat down. King Lu rushed towards the capital. I am afraid that the government and the public would be shocked. When the army surrounds him, how far can they go
It's just that I just want to follow the plum blossoms to achieve enlightenment. In fact, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
"With great merit comes great disaster. Don't I understand this?"
"If Prince Lu and Xie Chengdong weren't tied together, why should I care whether the crown prince or Prince Lu sits in this world?"
"Junior Brother Head, hee hee."
Just as Pei Ziyun was thinking about it, the hair on his body suddenly exploded, and he put his hands on his waist. He was startled. When he looked back, he saw that it was Chu Xia and Yu Yunjun.
Seeing that it was Chu Xia, Pei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Chu Xia, are you here?"
"Junior brother, what was your expression just now? Were you scared?"
Pei Ziyun said: "Your sudden voice really shocked me."
Pei Ziyun said, and after taking a closer look, he realized that Chu Xia seemed to have grown up.
Wearing a Taoist robe, with hanging black hair, she looks youthful, with a bulging chest, but she looks like the girl next door has grown up.
But Chu Xia didn't feel restrained. She stepped forward to take a look, walked around Pei Ziyun's body, stretched out her hand and stood on tiptoes to pat Pei Ziyun's shoulder: "Junior Brother, Master, you have become handsome again. Senior Sister, I can only rely on you to protect me." ”
"Chu Xia." Yu Yunjun didn't notice Chu Xia and Pei Ziyun's laughter at first, but now he saw that Chu Xia was getting more and more exaggerated, so he scolded them.
Listening to Yu Yunjun's scolding, Chu Xia immediately held her mouth shut, picked up the fruit on the table, bit it, and sat aside without talking.
Pei Ziyun saw Chu Xia's angry look and said to Yu Yunjun, "Master."
"Well, Ziyun, I brought everything you asked for." Yu Yunjun said, taking out a lot of materials. The most attractive one is Songyun Seal, which refers to the seal of the leader issuing orders, and Some materials include rootless water, lightning struck wood, and colorless mud.
"Master, I have achieved enough spiritual condensation, spiritual communication, night travel, removal of membership, and immortality. I can go to the underworld to remove registration. Please also protect me. I have made arrangements outside. There are armored soldiers patrolling and protecting me. No one will disturb me again. ." Pei Ziyun said.
Although he knew it just by looking at the materials, Yu Yunjun still sighed: "Although the real people and direct ancestors of our sect have all been expelled, they are all reliable due to the power of the imperial seal and the blessed land."
"You are the only one under twenty to have reached this stage. It really makes me ashamed. But don't worry, no one can break in as long as I am here."
"Thank you for your hard work." Pei Ziyun saluted and took the materials to build the altar.
This was actually not difficult, and it was completed quickly. I used French ink to draw the runes on it, and used a red rope to set up a barrier. As soon as the pen in my hand stopped, a flash of light flashed across it.
Looking with spiritual eyes, he saw a white light forming a transparent barrier.
Seeing Pei Ziyun busy, Yu Yunjun said: "You have the Emperor's Sword and the Token. It's not difficult to borrow some dragon energy. You don't need these materials to build an altar and borrow the power from the door."
Pei Ziyun put the pen and ink aside and said: "If you don't follow the king's affairs, you can't promote the Dharma. If you can use it, you will owe the court. I don't want to do this in a place where I can complete it."
After listening to these words, Lord Yu Yun looked at Pei Ziyun and saw that Pei Ziyun looked very serious and majestic. He had not seen him for a while and his demeanor was even more impressive. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: "I didn't expect that such a person would come out of my Songyun sect."
Pei Ziyun entered the red rope and felt that he didn't explain it clearly, so he explained: "Master, you see, I don't even live in the Governor's Mansion, I moved out."
"However, being prepared is the right way. I won't be addicted to cleansing. I will definitely use it if I really need to." At this point, Pei Ziyun closed his eyes and calmed down: "System!"
The plum blossom in front of me quickly enlarged and turned into a translucent information frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the mission was revealed.
"Mission: Destroy the Marquis of Jibei and gain the title of True Lord (unfinished)"
"Yinshen: The Seventh Level (158.2%)"
Pei Ziyun's expression changed, he was a little moved, and then he smiled: "With the official pacification of Yingzhou, I really made a sensation in the world. It was full again in just ten days, but it's a pity that I can't go on."
"You must go to the underworld to formally take the mark before you can continue to improve."
Pei Ziyun thought to himself, no longer hesitating. At this time, dusk gradually began, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sun set on the mountains. As the magic power grew, a rich spiritual light appeared on the altar, and the Yin Shen opened his eyes and jumped out.
Suddenly a dark wind blew in the room, and the evil spirit disappeared. Chu Xia stood up and was wary of the surroundings.
