Chapter 1061: Great Potential, True Dragon Nature
Chapter 1061: Great Potential, True Dragon Nature (Two in One)
“Great!”
Liang Qu played with the official seal in his palm and couldn't help feeling happy.
As colonels, the City Gate Colonel is responsible for guarding the city gate and commanding 500 to 1,000 soldiers; the Left Camp Colonel is in charge of a battalion of soldiers; and the Enemy-Breaking Colonel can be the commander-in-chief of an entire army!
The gap here is quite big.
Judging from the rank, Liang Qu was a third-rank official, and was now the superior of Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin. Although his rank was lower than Su Guishan's second-rank position as Water and River Governor, Su Guishan's uncle had no control over him.
Since ancient times.
There are nine grades and eighteen levels, with three grades and six levels each for upper, middle and lower levels, all of which are a big hurdle.
To put it roughly and irresponsibly, the seventh, eighth, ninth and third ranks are responsible to the local prefectures, the fourth, fifth, sixth and third ranks are responsible to the provinces, and the first, second, third and fourth ranks are responsible to the imperial court and the Holy Emperor.
Step over.
The sea and the sky are vast!
Liang Qu opened his arms and let the eunuch change the badge, thinking in his heart.
"Since I am the commander of the Huai River, I need to set up two more strongholds and buy a few more houses to facilitate my activities. The accounts will be handled by the local river and lake office. By the way, I don't know if there is a river and lake office in the local area. If there is no river and lake office, wouldn't I be a commander without troops and have to provide my own food and grass? Before that, let the demoted officials stop their salaries for three years, and if they are promoted, will they be restored?"
……
"Brother Liang, you got promoted, but how come you are now a commander without any troops?"
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu were puzzled.
After leaving the imperial city, they were unfamiliar with the place and had no idea what to eat. They only knew that the brain meat under the Longjin Bridge was delicious. On the night the treasure ship entered the imperial capital, Lata opened a restaurant and had it as a midnight snack. When he came back, he brought a portion for everyone in the yard.
But Liang Qu was too embarrassed to take them to eat at a roadside stall because their relationship was not that good.
So I took him to Jinxiu Garden and booked a private room, where we ate and chatted, and the topic turned to promotion and future plans.
"Yes, the Huai River stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, so shouldn't the rivers and lakes be scattered all over the place?"
"No, no." Liang Qu shook his head. "The Huai River is long. Locally, it is a big deal for river and lake authorities to observe hydrology. However, there are not many river and lake authorities with sufficient weight."
"Why?" The three of them pricked up their ears, curious.
"This has to start from the source of history." Liang Qu put down his chopsticks. "The so-called river and lake offices are responsible for water transport, water conservancy, water development, precious fish sales, water plant cultivation, canals, and even water mining. They have existed since ancient times. However, there are differences between rivers. Do you know, Dragon King?"
“I’ve heard of it, but I don’t understand it.”
“There are countless great rivers in the world, and the two most important ones in Dashun are the Huangsha River and the Huai River. I will use these two as examples.
The Dragon King of the Huaijiang River has a close relationship with the human race. When the Dragon King was alive, he had a lot of cooperation with Dashun and even Daqian. Whatever they needed, they could trade with them, and water control could save a lot of effort, at least two-thirds!
In contrast, the Dragon King of Huangsha River is unruly and not only uncooperative, but even confrontational.
Therefore, at the river stations on the Huaijiang River, the water officials can cooperate with the water beasts and dragon people to handle various matters, semi-outsourced, saving time and effort, and achieving win-win cooperation. The Huangsha River River Station basically has to be self-reliant and has higher requirements.
Now, one river, one dragon king, and one dragon lord have all disappeared. Bang! The outsourcing function of the Huaijiang River Port Office has been cut off, and we are short of manpower..."
"Brother Liang, why did the Dragon Lord and the Dragon King disappear?" Xiong Yiheng raised his hand.
"Don't interrupt!"
"Oh……"
The three of them sat down obediently.
"The Jianghuai Dragon King disappeared for a hundred years, which is neither short nor long. The Dashun Kingdom was established for seventy years, which was basically a period of recuperation and development. It was not really prosperous yet. It was mainly defending the north and south, and the manpower was not sufficient.
There hasn't been much change in the Huangsha River, but there is a huge gap in the Huai River! It is far from the normal level. Nowadays, the Huaidong River Port is considered to be the leading government office that was developed with the strong support of the imperial court because of the blood sacrifice of the Ghost Mother Sect.
Before, it was not strong enough and was called Pingyang River Port. Now, with several Zhenxiang, it immediately became Huaidong. In the future, after eradicating the Ghost Mother Cult, it can also expand and will surely become the bridgehead of the entire Huaijiang River!
So after you graduate, I still suggest you go work at the Hebo Office. It is true that underwater martial arts are difficult to practice, but if you practice well, there will be great rewards. Even if you start as a Hebo, you will be able to catch a wave of opportunities in the future and easily be transferred to a local area to become a boss! "
The five great lakes of Huaijiang River.
From east to west, from downstream to upstream - Jianghuai Ze, Pengze, Jianshui, Dongtian Lake, and Blue Lake.
The Jianghuai Lake is the most vast. Although there is no precise measurement, it is basically greater than or equal to the sum of the four lakes.
If you take care of this, you will take care of most of the things.
There was a general named Yuan in Pengze who dominated a lake. He was quiet and didn't cause any trouble. He was determined to "stay alive". The longer he lived, the better he could live, which made people feel at ease. Daqian even specially conferred a title on him.
Dongtian Lake, the Dongtian Sect, one of the five major Taoist sects, and the Dongtian Court are located on Dongtian Lake.
There is a Qingluo Mountain in the center of Dongtian Lake. It is famous for its lush vegetation and its shape and color, which resemble green snails growing algae. There is a green snail in the silver plate. The Dongtian Sect is located on this mountain.
Because it is a private plot, the area around Dongtian Lake is well managed by Dongtian Sect, which is considered half a river lake. It is enough for Dashun to control Dongtian Sect.
The Blue Lake is too far away, and the Great Snow Mountain and the imperial court are each half, so it is out of reach.
It takes some effort to judge the water alone.
Lots and lots of them.
There are few people and the work is not important. We will naturally have the time and conditions to slowly expand outward from Pingyang Prefecture.
But it's all temporary.
One day it will be under complete control, or we can wait for another friendly dragon king to appear.
However, the dragon is currently unreliable and has too many ulterior motives. It is also struggling with the Ghost Mother Cult. The white ape has not shown any ability to threaten the dragon for the time being. It is friendly, but not strong enough to dominate.
In the past, he was too busy to handle all of them, and the vast Jianghuai Lake was enough to make him suffer.
When Liang Qu took office as the commander of the Huai River, the first thing he did was to inspect the five Great Lakes and see if there was any autumn wind.
The three of them were stunned.
Liangqu is located too high, and just shaking it between fingers can bring benefits that ordinary people cannot achieve.
Needless to say, when I graduate in the future, I will go to work at the Hebo Institute with my head covered. What my senior said is right!
It is easier to get things done if you have people in the court.
Delicious.
The meat in the bowl is very fragrant.
"Brother, how come the Dragon Kings are gone? They are all Martial Saints, right?" Xiong Yiheng kept thinking about it.
Such secrets are really curious.
Liang Qu saw the expectant look on the three people's faces and suddenly felt dazed.
This moment is just like that moment.
Back then, he took the crayfish and asked his uncle under the moonlight, and learned about the legend of the real dragon. Now the positions are reversed.
He is now the senior who knows many secrets and has extraordinary knowledge!
Without explaining that the Dragon King of Jianghuai was a furnace, Liang Qu replied: "I don't know about the Dragon King of Jianghuai. It's inexplicable. I guess he died cleanly, which made the dragon like a pervert, licking its dragon ball like a lollipop all day long.
As for the one from Huangsha River, I know it well. It was a rebellious creature and was killed when the imperial court pushed it all the way north to Huangsha River. All of its dragon blood, dragon meat and dragon bones were used to make elixirs, which took a lot of effort.
It almost made Daqian gasp for air. Pushing back, it was very dangerous. In that battle, including the Dragon King, three Yaolong-level martial saints died. If there were key nodes in Dingding Tianxia, killing the Huangsha River Dragon King was one of them, second only to the Nanzhili Uprising. "
"hiss!"
The three cheap junior brothers swallowed their saliva first.
Dragon King Pill, do you need to replenish it? Just scrape some powder and they will burst.
Du Hanwen sighed: "My Dashun is really the best in the world. Let's beat the Dragon King and the remaining evildoers together!"
"No, not together."
"what?"
Liang Qu looked strange, recalling the contents of the classics he had seen: "At that time, it was a three-way battle. Dashun, Daqian, and the Dragon King of Huangsha River fought together. One person from each of the three sides died. The current governor of the river was one of the participants."
Three people: "?"
Jin Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask: "What's the purpose?"
They thought that the Dragon King of Huangsha River was rebellious and wanted to join Daqian to deal with Dashun and refused to submit.
result……
"Maybe... it's his nature?" Liang Qu was also confused. "There are three dragons in the world, but the Huangsha River is the most unique, with turbulent rapids. The Huangsha River Dragon King is a bit like... a river otter?"
The image of Tatakai popped up in the minds of the three people.
Fighting is fun!
The real dragon condenses into a river, and is suspected to be a precious fish.
Liang Qu was very skeptical after reading the records.
The character of the Dragon King was influenced by the characteristics of the river he lived in. There are many footnotes on the album, proving that many predecessors shared his views.
The Huai River is broad and gentle, a golden waterway with clear water and huge runoff, which makes the Jianghuai Dragon King kind and tolerant. His own strength is also the strongest among the three dragon kings, an entire realm higher than him.
The Huangsha River is turbulent and muddy, with one bowl of water and half bowl of mud. It is dry in the summer and frozen in the winter. It is unpredictable. The Dragon King of the Shahe River is no different from a river otter. He will swing his long tail and slap you in the face at any time.
Your mother river spins you like a top.
To this day, remote villages on both sides of the Huangsha River still have the custom of offering sacrifices to the river god.
The E River in Beiting is frozen for 150 days a year in the upper reaches and 220 days a year in the lower reaches.
The only real dragon alive, he is very aloof and doesn't care about anyone. He left Liujinhai, seemingly not accepting the rule of Dashun and getting closer to Beiting.
But according to records in ancient books, Beiting was still a bootlicker and was treated hot and cold.
It is this characteristic that makes the true spirits born and raised by nature trustworthy.
It is really hard to trust a dragon that changes career halfway.
During the Daqian period, the masters of Daqian had already been troubled by the Huangsha River Dragon King's violent temper. When the battle line was pushed to the Huangsha River, both sides were almost united in hatred of the enemy. The Huangsha River Dragon King took advantage of the geographical advantage and fought one against two without being defeated for the time being. Both sides scrambled for his flesh and blood.
The fact that he can fight two at once is enough to prove how powerful the Dragon King is. Why must Southern Xinjiang build one?
That is a natural barrier!
“I wonder what will happen if the Southern Frontier Pseudo-Dragon really succeeds?”
Liang Qu's thoughts drifted away.
According to Hai Fangzhu, the rivers in southern Xinjiang are very hot and full of parasites. In the puddles, there are often red nematodes entangled and rolling like balls of thread, which makes the fish uncomfortable. She doesn't like to go there.
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu were greatly enlightened and listened with fascination.
For three fourth-level martial artists, the outside world is too vast and unimaginably huge.
But sitting here and listening to Liang Qu's story, the past history unfolds like a picture scroll, magnificent and they are also involved in it.
"Brother Liang, I heard in the martial arts academy that you are on good terms with a big monster, the White Ape King, a natural alien species. The White Ape King will replace the dragons in Jianghuai in the future. Is that true?" Du Hanwen asked boldly.
"If it works, then a big shot like Long Jun will be a good friend of Senior Brother Liang, right?"
"Whether it's true or not, it's useless to just say it." Liang Qu laughed and did not directly answer the three people's questions.
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu still couldn't stop their wild thoughts.
The Dragon King is his brother, so can he rule the world with his own hands?
At this point in life, I think I’ve become the best in the world, right?
Finished eating.
We will be busy tomorrow with military training in the parade ground.
Liang Qu hurried to the Ministry of Revenue to inquire about his salary, and then re-opened the imperial edict, focusing on rewards and great achievements, and allocating roles.
Good news, after the comprehensive upgrade of official positions, honors and titles, the salary increase is huge. With the cooperation of Bai Yuan, Liang Qu's salary reaches an astonishing 100,000 taels a year, almost doubling!
With a fixed salary for a year, you can buy two jade plaques of the King of Yue!
The bad news is that to appease the Hantai Prefecture, the suspension of salary after demotion cannot be abolished. Fortunately, the increased salary can cover it, and the excess will be paid normally.
In other words.
In the three years starting from this year, Liang Qu could earn less than 70,000 silver coins every year. After three years, it returned to normal level.
That is to say, Liang Qu's practice time was too short, only ten years. For someone else, the accumulated income over time would definitely be a very considerable high salary!
There were quite a lot of rewards, including various kinds of utensils. Apart from the required ransom for the boar and fox, the most valuable thing was only one thing: two black and yellow cards!
Communicate with Ze Ding.
Above the blue tide, two long red wisps of air are circling each other, one was a white fire in my dream last year, and the other was midsummer this year.
[Seed of Creation: Three]
【Dew Seed: Eight】
Exactly four strands!
Including the eighth dew seed obtained in winter, it is almost equivalent to five wisps of long energy!
It is more than enough to ascend to the fourth level of Emperor Chuanzhu!
As for the four hundred and fifteen great merits.
The number may seem shocking at first glance, but it is actually reasonable if you think about it carefully. The affairs of the Bai family and the Ice Spring count as 100, the three beasts and the impact of their casualties on the battle count as 300, and the martial arts academy's contributions count as 10, five of which are extra rewards for this year's winners.
Looks like a lot, but uses little.
Before dealing with Balstei, Liang Qu had twenty-five great merits left in his account. He bought a pill to increase the degree of fusion with Ze Ling and used them all up. These four hundred and fifteen great merits were the total number in the account.
There is no ban on flowers at all.
Two Xuanhuang cards consume twenty great merits, and at least three hundred and fifty or even three hundred and eighty should be reserved for the Blood Evil Divine Ability.
If it were useful, the Blood Evil Divine Order would be the first necessity.
Firstly, the identity of the white ape is not easy to expose and the consequences cannot be borne for the time being. Apart from anything else, once the dragon completely confirms that humans are apes and apes are humans, the court will be under tremendous pressure.
The one stirring up trouble in the water was the white ape. The white ape and Liang Qu were on good terms as a private relationship. Their dealings did not represent the attitude of the imperial court. The imperial court did not interfere in the internal affairs of the aquatic creatures and welcomed any water beast to be the Dragon King.
The dragon went mad and took advantage of the water veins to cause crazily destruction. The imperial court took the righteous position and had reason to reprimand it, and could even take direct action. If it really had no manpower to spare, it could also ask the Whale King of the East China Sea to mediate.
When the two are combined into one, there is no way to avoid political issues.
Whoever strikes first will suffer.
The Whale King is an aquatic creature and will not pay any attention to you.
Secondly, it is an investment. If I can dissolve the "Stone in the River", I can use it to trick and kill a Yaolong Wusheng...
When the dragon dies, all things come to life.
It is easy to achieve great success and break through four digits.
"Exchange two strands of Xuanhuang Qi."
Liang Qu came to the Moon-Watching Tower.
