Shuofang City had long been occupied by a large barbarian tribe, which had been multiplying and multiplying here. The total population of the entire tribe exceeded one million.
However, now the entire city has been razed to the ground, with potholes everywhere. This is the destructive power that only great scholars can have.
"The barbarians are nothing. They actually sent the Great Barbarian King to destroy this place. They are not human beings." Ao Huang shouted beside Fang Yun.
"As expected." Fang Yun said.
Hundreds of thousands of troops walked on the dry grass and came near Shuofang City. They saw that the underground for dozens of miles nearby had been destroyed, and it was too difficult to rebuild on the original spot.
Fang Yun looked up at the Yinshan Mountains in front of him.
The Great Wall along the Yinshan Mountains was once the border of the human race, but it was taken away by the barbarians many years ago.
"Since the barbarians destroyed Shuofang City, we will go to Yinshan and rebuild it at a new site at the Yinshan checkpoint. Thank you all for your help!"
Many workers and scholars said that it was fine.
So the army headed north again and finally arrived at Yinshan Mountain. They chose a suitable place, cut the horizontal mountain peak, built a fortress between the two parts of the mountain, and established Shuofang City behind the fortress.
Even with the presence of great engineers and scholars, it would take a long time to build a complete city, not to mention that this city was built according to some of Fang Yun's ideas, which were unheard of by engineers. Especially in terms of stone and wood, which were the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, and stone was the most difficult.
However, among this army, in addition to the 100,000 human cavalry, there are also barbarians from the Nuzhi tribe!
With these barbarians around, the most troublesome materials for humans, stone and wood, are no longer a big deal.
Among all the people, the one who made the greatest contribution was Niu Shan. He was wearing the Dragon Power Battle Armor, and after exercising his blood and energy, he became extremely powerful and could easily solve the problem of stone mining.
Niu Mountain once pulled up a two-hundred-foot peak, and then lifted it up to the outside of Shuofang City. With a shock of energy and blood, all the big trees fell to one side, all the soil fell to the other side, and the rocky mountain was in the middle.
With wood and stone, and the help of barbarians as porters, the scholars and workers can solve all other problems.
With the help of Lu Ban ruler, building cities and houses for workers and scholars became as easy as stacking blocks.
Then you would see university scholars or great Confucian scholars suspended in the air. Under the light of Lu Ban's ruler, large amounts of wood or stone were divided into the required sizes, forming different parts.
Some of the stones fell on the city walls, some were made into stone slabs and spread on the ground, some were stacked into houses, and the wood was formed into more complex parts. After flying all over the sky, they were combined into complete houses or tables, chairs and other utensils in the clear light cast by Lu Ban's ruler.
A few days later, a large number of descendants of Zhang Heng's family arrived and used the new Shuofang City as their place of training.
Afterwards, more than 500,000 troops came from Ning'an City to Shuofang City.
On the first day of September, the holy temple had been completed, and the walls, main roads, major buildings, etc. of Shuofang City had also been completely built. The next step was filling and detailing. There was no need for high-ranking scholars such as Fang Yun to be here anymore.
Some soldiers stayed here, while Fang Yun led some scholars towards the capital.
Except for Niushan, all the barbarians of the Nuzhi tribe remained in Shuofang.
Ao Huang did not follow Fang Yun because his main mission now was to lead the water tribe to open a canal from Ning'an to Shuofang City.
Building the Ningshu Grand Canal was a massive undertaking. It was not accomplished by simply digging a straight channel between the two cities. It involved all the water systems along the route, the geological environment, and the flora and fauna ecology. There were many problems. For example, building the canal would divide the two places, hindering animal migration, which was a big problem, not to mention other matters.
If the Semi-Saint did not take action, a canal of this scale would have to be built jointly by the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan. If either the Human Clan or the Dragon Clan were to build it alone, the time consumed would inevitably increase greatly.
Ao Huang likes to try things he has never experienced before, so he devotes all his energy to the new mission. However, he has become a little arrogant recently and said that he has passed the gate of Ning'an three times without entering to eat the delicious food. He is the contemporary Dayu and will definitely go down in history.
Fang Yun used Pingbu Qingyun to go south, and he was serious all the way. He stood on Pingbu Qingyun and was deep in thought. The others did not say a word either.
After the Shuofang Holy Temple was built and could be used to transmit letters, bad news was received. Liu Shan and his party members launched an all-out counterattack and blatantly colluded with the people from the Dongsheng Pavilion who arrived in the capital, in order to deprive Zhao Hongzhuang of her official title and also to seize Fang Yun's title and official position.
This time, Fang Yun did not bring Zhao Hongzhuang back to Beijing, but let Zhao Hongzhuang stay in Shuofang. Before leaving, he announced that Zhao Hongzhuang would be transferred from military to political position, and was demoted two levels from the seventh rank to the eighth rank, and transferred to the position of county magistrate of Shuofang County.
The county magistrate is the first person under the county magistrate, and can be said to be the deputy county magistrate. Usually, a juren or xiucai is selected by the local powerful and prominent families to hold the position. If the county magistrate does not have a strong family background or is not talented enough, even if he is a jinshi, he may be sidelined by the county magistrate and the local powerful and prominent families.
Zhao Hongzhuang and Fang Yun are currently the biggest topics among the entire human race. After the news was released on the discussion list, it immediately sparked new heated discussions.
In the eyes of those who don't know much about the civil service system, Zhao Hongzhuang's demotion of two levels was a compromise by Fang Yun and a huge victory. It can be said that Fang Yun had lost this time.
However, in the eyes of some experienced scholars such as the Miscellaneous Scholar, letting Zhao Hongzhuang serve as the county magistrate was far more serious than serving as the chief of the garrison.
In the human army, there is an unwritten rule that the commander of an army must at least learn the art of war. Although Zhao Hongzhuang has also studied military books and memorized the classics of military sages, the military is a relatively independent environment, and Zhao Hongzhuang's ultimate achievement is limited, and she may even be killed by the barbarians.
But the position of county magistrate is different. Not only is it safe, but from this position he can understand every aspect of a county, laying a solid foundation for Zhao Hongzhuang.
Once Zhao Hongzhuang thoroughly understands a county, she will have the opportunity to move up to a prefecture and rise step by step.
Many people would rather let Zhao Hongzhuang get a higher-ranking honorary title than let her become a real human official.
After growing up, Zhao Hongzhuang has a huge influence on all women in Shengyuan Continent and will inevitably threaten the male-dominated society.
On the discussion board, criticizing Fang Yun and Zhao Hongzhuang once again became the mainstream.
When the team arrived in the capital, they immediately heard something that could not be described as good or bad, only unfortunate.
Liushan's mother officially died.
Outsiders thought it was just a coincidence, but Fang Yun knew very well that ever since he destroyed Liushan’s national destiny with the “One Hundred Thousand Flags to Kill Yama Luo”, all the people related to Liushan would encounter misfortunes one after another.
Upon hearing this news, several scholars behind Fang Yun couldn't help but smile, and only restrained themselves when they were discovered.
After his mother passed away, Liu Shan now has to leave the capital to observe mourning for his mother, which is also known as Dingyou.
One has to stay in mourning for twenty-seven months. If Liu Shan leaves, Fang Yun can completely wipe out the remnants of Liu's party. Even if Liu Shan returns from mourning, he can only sigh that the situation is hopeless.
