After several rounds of negotiations and consultations, various forces finally agreed to establish the Liquan General Administration Office in the newly built Liquan City, which is independent of Tongbei Prefecture and Jingying Army. It will include Juquan Lake, Juquan Ridge, and Shicheng Ridge. Within it, the land with a radius of 120 miles was brought under the jurisdiction of Liquan General Manager's Mansion.
But Dong Pan would not forgive Chen Hai for this. Although the various families in Juquan Ridge had become unstoppable, Chen Hai could still delay the situation for another two or three years, and even if Chen Hai had monopolized Juquan Ridge before, Ambition, but after thinking that it would be difficult to achieve it alone, why not ask for help from Hexi
"I have not reserved a seat for the Red Eyebrow Sect in the Master Craftsman Association. If the Red Eyebrow Sect still wants to continue to purchase quenched gold armor and quenched gold iron ingots from Li Quan, you will need to stay in Li Quan to coordinate," Chen Hai He handed another letter to Su Ling and said, "After I leave, you can give this letter to Su Yuan and the others, so that everyone will not be upset when we part ways..."
After absorbing some elites from the fishing and hunting team, the Guard Battalion's number is controlled to about 600 people. In the future, it will continue to exist as the private soldiers of the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion in the area of the Liquan Governor's Mansion to ensure the power of the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion. And the benefits that are due should not be excluded by the craftsmen association.
The undercurrent is turbulent, but Juquan Ridge is calm on the surface. The Xiyuan Army has not imposed martial law in Tongbei Mansion and expelled other forces. The manpower of other forces in Tongbei Mansion has not shown any signs of joining forces. Jiang The matter of the division meeting officially surfaced soon.
When Chen Hai handed over Juquan Ridge to the Craftsmen's Association, he actually handed it over to the forces behind the members of the Craftsmen's Association. At court, the titles of General Suwei and Mojia Workshop were taken away from him, and he did not work in Li He could hold any position in General Manager Quan's Mansion. Although the first chief minister of General Manager Liquan and the captain of the elite fishing and hunting team of 10,000 were supposed to be in his bag, Chen Hai did not accept them and did not even participate. Among the Craftsmen Association, it is impossible for the Craftsmen Association to exclude Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion at this time. Su Yuan, Zhou Jingyuan, and Ding Shuang, as members of the Craftsmen Association, represent the interests of Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion. .
"Chen Hai's management of Juquan Ridge has long been an unstoppable trend. Even if we control Chen Hai at this time, we can't stop the families from robbing Juquan Ridge. Once they turn against each other, the families will turn to support the prince. The situation in the capital is afraid of twists and turns again! "Wen Boyuan reluctantly advised.
"..." After working hard for so many years, and handing it over to others, what does it mean to have your wish fulfilled
In order to prevent the Xiyuan Army from monopolizing Juquan Ridge, Hexi must reach an agreement with other families to jointly hold Juquan Ridge as quickly as possible. If the action is a little late, once the British King Yingshu takes the lead in occupying Juquan Ridge, Hexi's side The bamboo basket was empty.
Dong Pan's face was gloomy and he was unhappy in his heart, but he knew that what Sun Qian said was true.
In addition to the Dong family and the eight clans in Jingjun who are resentful, families such as the Miao family and Zhao family are still very happy to see the current situation.
Chen Hai froze, turned around and looked at Su Ling's pitiful face, stretched out his hand to touch it, and sighed slightly: "Maybe I want to meet her..."
As a redemption condition for this transfer of power, the Liquan General Manager's Office will need to transfer 20% of its annual revenue and expenditure to the Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion.
Su Ling couldn't guess what Chen Hai was thinking, or how broad-minded he was, so she just asked, "You left without saying goodbye, but you still want to see Princess Dong, right?"
The roar in the British palace was like a thunderstorm pouring down, and the guards and attendants were all frightened. Unexpectedly, the nineteenth king, who was usually gentle and gentle, would also have a violent day. He didn't know what happened to make him so angry. The normally gentle Nineteenth King was so angry.
"But it doesn't matter much. Chen Hai, General Suwei, General Master Craftsman and other official positions have to be eliminated, and Zhao Sihan is replaced by Zhao Sihan to head the Mojia Workshop in Tongbei Mansion. I can't let the world think that I am happy to see Juquan The mountain fell into the palm of his family's hands." Ying Shu said solemnly.
"No matter what, Qin Tong Mountain is under the control of the Xiyuan Army. Even if they don't directly intervene in Juquan Ridge, the quenched iron materials, soldiers' armor, and machine puppets coming out of Juquan Ridge will all be of Xiyuan Army's control." "A share of the Yuan Army," Wen Boyuan said patiently, "At least at this moment, even if Chen Hai is willing, it is not the time for the Xiyuan Army to monopolize Juquan Ridge. After the Tiger Army's overwhelming power is removed, How can the world escape from the hands of emperors and princes? There is really no need to take action now."
…
"Then just sit back and watch them carve up Juquan Ridge?" Ying Shu asked angrily.
Chen Hai carries a storage ring with him, but the space array inside requires him to continuously consume real energy to maintain it. Unless there is an emergency, he would rather carry the Xuanbing halberd on his back.
On the Panlong chair, King Yingshu of England was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, with an uncontrollable scowl on his face.
It only took a month from the noisy Craftsmen's Association's initiative to the formal establishment of the Liquan General Manager's Office.
"This time you have offended the Dong family, Mr. Wen, His Royal Highness the King of England, the Hua family, the Chu family, the Du family, the Chai family, the Jiang family, and the eight clans in Jingjun. Why don't you stay in Liquan to practice cultivation and go out to travel? ?”
Qintong Mountain has begun to snow for the second time since winter. Snowflakes are flying in abundance, and soon the surrounding mountains are covered with white.
Like the Dong family, the Wu family in Tianshui County was the first to receive the news. Three thousand elites also marched eastward in the name of the Jinzou Mission and stagnated in Nanzhang Mansion.
In addition to the Taoist temples and foundries set up by various families and the residence of Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion in Liquan, the quenched iron smelting and armor, war equipment, ship manufacturing and other services originally set up in Juquanling were also The more than 50,000 acres of grain fields and other assets reclaimed from the settlement were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Liquan General Manager's Office.
Dong Pan was annoyed, but the deal was done, and they couldn't play any tricks. If they missed the opportunity and caught nothing, Hexi would be completely passive...
Chen Hai's hospitalization in Zhongfeng Bamboo Forest was still retained. Everyone felt very embarrassed when they saw Chen Hai handing over Juquan Ridge so neatly and always wanted to reserve certain privileges for Chen Hai.
In addition to these 600 elites, there are still more than 3,400 soldiers and horses in the fishing and hunting team. The jurisdiction and command will be transferred to the Liquan General Manager's Office, which will be responsible for about 100 people around Juquan Lake, Juquan Ridge, and Shicheng Ridge. Defense within a twenty-mile radius.
If Hexi could lay out its plans half a year or a year earlier, even if it couldn't monopolize Juquan Ridge, it wouldn't be in a situation where it would be shared with other families.
…
Will Ying Shu and Wen Boyuan be angry at Chen Hai's "betrayal" and take action in anger, directly sending the Xiyuan Army to capture Juquan Ridge
But when these guards and attendants pricked their ears and wanted to hear what was going on, they saw that the voice of the inner palace seemed to be covered by an invisible barrier, and no longer leaked out at all. Mr. Yuan, with his back to the hall, was saying something to the Nineteenth King.
…
"The matter has come to this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to change," Sun Qian ignored the panicked Chen Zhang, but raised his hands to Dong Pan and said, "I would also like Mr. Dong to advise Dong Hou to make preparations early. At this time, I am afraid that some people will hate Chen Zhang even more." Hai asserted without authorization..."
Just as Qin Muhou Dong Shou said, once the news is announced, it is a done deal and irreversible. Anyone who wants to obstruct it will become a target. No matter how angry they are, no matter how much they want to tear Chen Hai's bones apart, they still have to press down first to deal with the changes that may come next.
"I don't want to listen to your explanation. If the Gu Soul Pill doesn't work now, how long will it take?"
At this time, all the families couldn't wait to incorporate some of the elites in Juquan Ridge into the fishing and hunting teams to ensure that they had enough influence on the Liquan General Manager's Office and the Craftsmen's Guild.
Although he was angry at Chen Hai's betrayal, he calmed down and thought that it was the best plan for Chen Hai to hand over Juquan Ridge at this time, exclude the eight tribes in Jing County and make Nabian County a strong vassal; in this case, In this situation, Hexi cannot monopolize Juquan Ridge. Otherwise, it will directly prompt the Miao and Zhao families to unite with the eight tribes in Jingjun to expel the Hexi forces from Qintong Mountain.
Dong Pan galloped through the night and rushed back to Meiwubao without delay. Even though more than a thousand elite Yamen soldiers stationed at Meiwubao entered Nanzhang Mansion in batches through Qintong Pass in the name of escorting supplies back to Hexi.
"I will accompany you to travel around the world, and accompany you to meet Princess Dong. The journey will be dusty, and you must have someone who can take care of you." Su Ling couldn't help her inner impulse and said.
At this time, there were a total of thirteen great craftsmen in the Juquan Ridge Foundry and Smelting Ground. In addition to these thirteen great craftsmen, twenty-six craftsmen with considerable experience in mechanism puppets and weapon refining were selected from among the spiritual realm craftsmen. An accomplished craftsman, a member of the second level of the Craftsman Guild.
"I still know too little about this world. Forget about the things here for the time being. I will naturally go out for a walk." Chen Hai broke the Xuantai Tempered Golden Halberd into two pieces and held it with the Xuantai Iron The bow, quiver and wolf-slaying sword were all put into the halberd case, and the halberd case, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms, was wrapped in black cloth. It was like a long big robe carried behind the back, with only the Biying Sword Tie it around your waist for self-defense.
After all, Chen Hai made it clear that he wanted to exclude the eight tribes in Jingjun and the Musashi Army and Hexiang Army from the Craftsman Association.
From now on, Juquan Ridge will be owned by Liquan General Manager's Mansion. Zhou Jingyuan, Ding Shuang, Wu Meng and the Guard Camp will all move out of Juquan Ridge one after another. They will be located at the southeastern foot of Juquan Ridge as the Cao family, Ding family and other clans. A small town was rebuilt in the surrounding courtyard where Zhaoyang Tinghou Mansion lived in Liquan.
Liquan General Manager's Mansion, including Da Sicheng, left and right Sicheng, Fu Wei and the main stewards of various foundries and smelting yards, are either selected from the members of the Craftsmen's Association or recommended by the members of the Craftsmen's Association, but ultimately the Master's Office Decision; in addition, some major matters need to be negotiated and resolved by the Master Craftsmen Association.
Only then did the Prince of England know that the Craftsmen's Association was about to be established, and that Chen Haishi was going to hand over Juquan Ridge to eight Taoist academies. Behind these eight Taoist academies were the Dong family in Hexi, the Wu family in Tianshui, and the Beiyu family. Except for the Tianshui Wu clan, the Miao clan, the Southern Yue clan, and other clans, the other seven clans are all princely clans.
"Raise an immature wolf-hearted thief, raise an immature wolf-hearted thief!"
The Fishing and Hunting Team is still called the Fishing and Hunting Team, but with a large number of people, it has been expanded to 10,000 people, and almost all the new members have the cultivation base of Tongxuan Realm. If they really take advantage of the danger, they really are not afraid of 40,000 to 50,000 Xiyuan. The army dared to attack by force.
There were many disturbances from the outside world, but Chen Hai spent a month cultivating under the waterfall, sharpening the Mysterious Body Tempered Golden Halberd over and over again on the whetstone by the stream. At this time, a spoonful of stream water washed the edge of the blade, and Su Ling He stood aside holding the Wolf-Slaying Sword, the Xuantai Iron Bow and the quiver, and said without tears:
