Chapter 1072: Deter the Disobedient, Re-Refine Weapons

Chapter 1072: Deter the Disobedient and Re-Refine Weapons (asking for monthly tickets, two-in-one)

"One, two, one! One, two, one! Come on, brothers!"

"it is good!"

The shouts were deafening.

The disciples of the martial arts hall were dressed in sackcloth, with their trouser legs covered with yellow spots. They worked together to clear the silt in the canal. With a loud bang, the water, which was turbid at first, then gushed out and flooded the fields. The villagers, leaning on their hoes, stood on the ridges of the fields and pointed and talked.

"Young man, you are really strong! Stronger than a calf!"

"Young man, drink some water! I know you like to drink boiled water that has been cooled down. There is water in the bucket. It is clean!"

A few young men could not understand the dialect, but they could understand the meaning. They picked up the gourd ladles and drank, then waved their hands and rushed to the next place.

"In April, we will prepare the fields and in May, we will plant rice seedlings. We must work harder and finish the two dormitories in the neighboring county! They are progressing faster than us."

"You're talking about Pingyang, right? Jianshui plants rice earlier and grows two crops of rice."

"Never mind, let's get to work! There are three water forts we haven't checked yet!"

The vigorous disciples of the martial arts hall shuttled through the fields, full of enthusiasm.

Ran Zhongshi summarized the performance of the children in dormitories in each county in Sanshan Prefecture every day, and the more he looked at it, the more he thought it was amazing.

"Your Majesty supports the Martial Hall and the Martial Academy. You really have a long-term vision."

Civil servants had to take the imperial examinations, and county magistrates and prefects needed to have meritorious service.

Most of the military personnel were guerrillas, coming from all over the country and forming no system.

Recruiting the same number of warriors of the same level from the public would not be as efficient as this group of students.

The quality of the disciples of Wu Tang is extremely high, even better than those from “good families in the six counties”!

In Sanshan Prefecture, the three judicial departments, the government office, and the river and lake offices were mostly paralyzed, and stability was maintained by the martial arts hall students. They not only did the work of the river and lake officers, but also registered and released the river, cleared the river, and drove away water beasts. They also served as patrols and roving guards for the three judicial departments, and borrowed seedlings and cattle for the government office...

Although there were still not enough people, the frame was managed to hold up and prevent it from collapsing.

Starting from the imperial capital and the two capitals of Nanzhili, in time, martial arts halls, academies, and martial arts gyms will be fully expanded to the 18 provinces, and the current bureaucracy will be replaced from the bottom up, and the power and efficiency of management will be greatly improved!

However, it takes time for a warrior to practice, at least several decades or even hundreds of years.

When two rivers intersect and meet, they are often not "clearly divided". The new blood will wash away the old blood, and the old blood will also turbid the new blood. They influence and penetrate each other. To really wait for the day when the rivers are clear and the seas are peaceful, we must persevere and the waves will continue to surge.

Based on the performance reports, Ran Zhongshi circled and highlighted each of the more than 100 dormitories and gave them scores.

As for Liang Qu himself, he was no longer at Donglinhebo.

Sanshan Mansion was just an interlude. After reporting to the Ministry of Justice, Liang Qu seized the information obtained by the water beasts from all directions. He took advantage of the time difference and information gap and used the same routine to catch the big ones and let the small ones go, so that all parties could do their work well.

By mid-May, the other river lakes knew about Dong Lin’s deeds, and it was like killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!
The commanders of several places were extremely shocked.

"Three days, how could it be so fast? You found out so clearly in three days?"

"Marquis Xingyi is really good at this! Things are going to change in Huaijiang."

"Zha Hu, it must be Zha Hu!"

"How could it be a coincidence? He asked three times in three days and caught Kaihe Niu and Yantian. He must be sure of it to say so!"

The local people were in disbelief, especially when they knew that Liangqu would investigate on the same day and execute the next day. Even if there were people with unclean hands and feet, they did not dare to show it for a while and worked in fear.

We only have one life, but Liang Qu has countless knives.

They were frightened.

Even if there was a traitor in Hebo Police Station, he would not be exposed so quickly.

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.

The rivers and lakes changed first, and before the common people noticed, the water beasts in the Huai River were the first to notice the difference.

Patrols of the waters are becoming more frequent, and fishermen's fishing range is slowly expanding.

The great monsters in Jianshui Lake and Pengze Lake were unhappy.

Question: Which one would rule better: the old Dragon King, the Jiaolong, the imperial court, or even the white ape?

Answer: Neither is good!
It’s best to be a mountain king who is undisciplined by anyone and no demon!
No matter who comes, Dragon King, Flood Dragon, or White Ape, they will cause constraints. When Dashun was first established, it was powerless. The old Dragon King disappeared, and the time when the new Dragon King had not yet been established was simply the spring of the great monsters.

The imperial court established the River and Lake Office, which, in addition to managing waterways, controlling floods, and building dams, was also intended to develop underwater resources.

Now there are only a few fishermen in the river. When the river becomes powerful, there will be fishing boats. Even if the quantity is small, it will reduce the number of precious fish that the monsters get!
"Marquis Xingyi... I heard that the white ape is on good terms with him. One man and one beast, one causing trouble underwater, the other above water. Are they planning to eat Huaijiang to death?"

"The good times are over!"

"The white ape is really a traitor to the water tribe! Did he promise the imperial court so many benefits in order to take the throne of the water king? If he really waits for him to take the throne, we don't know what kind of miserable life we ​​will have to live!"

There is no demon king in Jianshui, and the dragons are leaderless.

General Peng Zeyuan is like a dragon that is hard to find, and this water monster cannot find his whereabouts either.

After living a comfortable life for so long, a powerful man suddenly shows up, who has connections both above and below the water. The monster becomes panic-stricken for a moment.

"Messing around here and there, it's a mess!" General Peng Zeyuan snorted with disdain.

The water beasts in the two lakes have different mentalities.

"Crack!"

After breaking the bandit's neck, Huo Hongyuan jumped back to the bow, feeling extremely refreshed, with a warm current flowing through his bones.

readily.

After being transferred from Pingyang Prefecture to Jianshui, he arranged a special task for Liangqu and did not do any production activities. He patrolled everywhere every day, specializing in eliminating water bandits and troublesome water beasts.

Unbelievably, Huo Hongyuan felt that he was very suitable for this job. During this period, his energy and blood continued to increase, and his various water-related martial arts and techniques progressed steadily. He seemed to have made a name for himself in Jianshui, and he was no longer easily defeated when dealing with water beasts of the same level. Originally, water bandits were very difficult to catch, but when he came here, he might bump into them when he wandered around!
"Is being a swimmer my destiny?"

Liang Qu exercises his powers normally.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of taking office, he intentionally or unintentionally intimidated the water beast and tried to seize the [rule] again before the June River God Festival.

A little more dominance, a little more favor, and you will soon face the dragon. If you grant the favor of the demon king, even a small mosquito is meat.

In addition to the equal favors automatically given every year, as the upper echelon of favor, ruling degree definitely has unknown magical uses!

"Humph, lawless! Lawless!"

"He's already so arrogant as a third-rank official. I don't even dare to imagine what he'll be like after he's promoted a few levels in the future!"

"This man started from humble beginnings, but he forgot his original intention and his ambitions expanded!"

"A new official shouldn't start his job with three big moves. He took over the Hebo Office, the three judicial offices, and the government office all by himself! What did he do after that? Recommend students from Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall!"

In front of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City, a small group was whispering to each other, swearing and speaking with certainty. As the atmosphere became increasingly tense and supporters grew in number, a "harsh" voice interrupted them.

"What happened?"

"?"

The small group looked up and saw an elegant middle-aged man walking on the wind.

Guanyingbo, Xu Wenzhu!
These three simple words made people inexplicably uncomfortable. The leader of the small group, Minister Lu, narrowed his eyes.

"Doesn't Lord Guanying know that the predecessor of Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall was the small martial arts hall founded by Master Xingyi Hou, and all the students there can call him Senior Brother. This is a blatant suppression of dissidents! Zhiluo Wings, he wants to build the Pingyang Gang!"

Xu Wenzhu sneered.

“What a beautiful hat.”

Minister Lu said coldly: "Guanying Bo laughed like this, I guess he doesn't agree with it. It's no wonder, General Xu is one of the wings."

"Minister Lu is like a resentful woman in the boudoir. Could it be that he thinks Deng Ming shouldn't be killed for destroying the dike and flooding the fields? Snakes and rats are in the same nest, and the fox mourns when the rabbit dies?"

Minister Lu remained calm and said, "Of course he deserves to be killed. Let's put things in perspective. Lord Guanying doesn't need to confuse right and wrong."

Xu Wenzhu asked calmly: "So it is wrong for the Marquis of Xingyi to send the disciples of the Wutang? The state appoints officials to do things, so officials should be appointed according to the things.

In local governance, officials who made mistakes were killed, which left such a large vacancy in officials. If they were not transferred from the Military Hall, how would Minister Lu fill it?
Your Majesty's original intention in establishing the Martial Arts Hall was to train talents. How can you train them without using them?"

"It is not wrong to kill him, nor is it wrong to recruit the disciples of the martial arts hall. You can recommend 'Junior Brother' to stay..."

Xu Wenzhu interrupted: "Since the killing and the transfer are not wrong, then Minister Lu is saying that the recommendation was wrong?

Recommendation is to recommend capable people. What about acquaintances? If you don’t know him, how do you know whether he is capable or not? If you want to recommend someone you don’t know, how do you know his ability and character? Do you just rely on what others say? Then what is the meaning of recommendation? How to guarantee?
Minister Lu has been recommended by many people along the way, right? Oh, I remember, the prefect of Sanshan is your wife's cousin? Could it be that Minister Lu just listened to others? Or did he want to pretend that he didn't know him and avoid the punishment for recommending him?"

The small group looked sideways.

Ya. Is the prefect of Sanshan your wife's cousin?

You didn’t tell me earlier!
"Can that be the same?"

"Why is it different!"

Minister Lu said coldly: "What about the prefect of Sanshan? It is up to the Ministry of Justice to decide. Killing people is not wrong. Xingyi Marquis has the right to do so. There is nothing wrong with the transfer. It is to fill the gaps and stabilize the local area. It is also reasonable to recommend talents to the court."

"They are all correct. Then why did Minister Lu jump out? And why?"

"A bunch of feathers can sink a boat, and a group of light things can break an axle! One thing is correct, but when all the things happen together, it is hard not to doubt whether the Marquis of Xingyi had planned this in advance..."

"Hmph, first of all, the Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall was personally awarded a plaque by the Holy Emperor. It is the Holy Emperor's Martial Arts Hall! The disciples of the Martial Arts Hall are the disciples of the Son of Heaven, not the small martial arts halls of the past! Minister Lu, don't judge others by yourself. You are just a small mountain and think that others are the same!
Secondly, recommendation is not appointment or removal. Whether one is a clique leader or not, and whether one is competent for the job, is a decision made by His Majesty and the Ministry of Personnel, not by a small minister like you in the Ministry of Justice!
Liang Duwei only nominated the Hebo Office, and none of the three judicial offices or government offices were moved. As the Huaishui Duwei, establishing a local Hebo Office was one of his tasks! Whether there is one or not, your majesty and the Censorate will decide, it is not your turn..."

Talk nonsense.

There was a lot of noise in front of the Meridian Gate. Apart from Xu Wenzhu and other military men, there was also a civil servant named Xu from the Ministry of Rites who was helping out. Minister Lu soon fell into a disadvantage and his lips were dry and his mouth was parched.

Fortunately, the door was opened and there was silence.

Go to court first.

The verbal attacks in front of the Meridian Gate were mostly due to emergency situations. The signal was sent out in advance so that those with close relationships could prepare a speech before going to court and give assistance. The officials were used to it.

Liang Qu was originally the commander of the Huaishui River. There was nothing wrong with him personally selecting the disciples of the Huaiyin Wutang to set up the Hebo Division. The only thing that could be criticized was that he had arrested a lot of people before, which seemed like a case of changing the cage and replacing the bird.

But the birds were not big birds, they were all small officials of the eighth or ninth rank. On the contrary, the evidence was solid that Deng Ming was guilty of destroying the dike and flooding the fields. He deserved it. In the final analysis, it was his cousin who caused the trouble.

I guess the Minister's wife did a lot of pillow talk last night.

Xu Wenzhu didn't bother to pay attention to Minister Lu, walked past him and went straight to the front.

Late May.

The weather is getting hotter and mosquitoes are flying around.

The tender green lotus leaves spread out and the flower buds gradually emerge.

Liang Qu, who had been patrolling around Pengze and Jianshui Lakes, met an official from the Ministry of Justice and learned some news from the imperial capital.

There is not much fluctuation in Liangqu.

It’s normal. An official who has never been impeached is not a good official.

Not to mention anything else, the Inspectorate is responsible for this job. From rules and regulations to private life, everything is part of the impeachment. Especially when one reaches a high position, one's every move is more likely to involve the interests of others.

The more outstanding you are, the easier it is for you to be won over by some people and opposed by others.

This kind of official position is said to be responsible for monitoring mistakes, but most of its work is more like reminding the emperor of the behavior of certain people.

Liang Qu could only sigh inwardly that the Sanshan prefect did have a network of connections, and no one would be alone.

Fortunately, he has it too.

"With Uncle Xu here, I don't have to complain..."

The official from the Ministry of Justice took the signed confession and said, "By the way, Marquis Xingyi, Lord Lan from the Imperial Observatory, please ask Lord Liang to go to the imperial capital in October to retrieve the items."

Take the object?!
Liang Qu was overjoyed.

It is obvious that the Blood Evil Divine Order of Balstei, the Northern Eagle, is about to be completed!

Since it involves grand plans, it is inevitable to be nervous.

"I wonder how Long Binglin and Xigui are doing..."

Look within yourself.

After practicing in April and May, the Qi Sea increased by another point, creating a 458-fold fairy island.

Base, columns and beams.

Walls, ceilings, and pieces.

The wall was completed in March. Before the officials from the Ministry of Justice arrived today, with the help of Ze Ling's feedback, another part was built on the third Dragon Court Fairy Island, and the hollow roof was completely completed!
Only the last one left!
Achieve the three realms of perfection!

Liang Qu could feel that his third magical power was about to break out! By then, relying on the Heavenly Gate and Earthly Axis and the Yinglong Killing Sutra, his ability to save his life would be greatly improved!
"Dragon..."

I stretched out my hand and clenched my fist, my heart pounding.

Two centuries have passed, and they started from different points. In ten years, Liang Qu will most likely not be able to catch up with the dragon that has refined the true dragon's legacy. He cannot afford to gamble that he will be able to turn the tide in just the right way ten years later.

Once the dragon is in trouble, it will be a furnace at least, so he decided to take action in advance, gather the demon kings he knew, and snatch the dragon ball first!

The Frog King and the Sea Lord are our own people. The Western Turtle King and the Dragon Clan are testing them, and General Yuan has not yet gone to inform them.

Four against two, plus the Water Ape King, that makes four and a half, so there's always some hope.

However, even if the White Ape becomes a Martial Saint, the gap is still quite large. It is likely that his output is limited, and his greatest role is to serve as a "meat shield" to attract the dragon's attacks.

Let’s look at the Qi Hai again.

Wandering and flashing.

With fire burning in his heart, Liang Qu is ready to use the "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life" strategy!

Improved survivability can not only delay the dragon and create opportunities, but also make it easier to preserve the corpse under attack and revive again!
If it succeeds, the Dragon Palace will be close to the sea. If it fails... then the Toad King will take back his body and wait for the dragon to escape...

Submit witnesses and material evidence, and the Ministry of Justice will conduct its own investigation and judgment.

Liang Qu floated up the Huai River without stopping. After sorting out Pengze and Jianshui, he went to Dongtian Lake again to show his presence. Finally, he succeeded in witnessing the trembling of Ze Ding before June.

[Deter the disobedient, Debu Huaijiang]

[River dominance: 0.4 (favor: 18.8213)]

"It works! As expected, the degree of dominance must demonstrate the dominance! Demonstrate existence!" Liang Qu was delighted and recorded it carefully.

Excluding the 0.1 given by Yinglong in the fifth level.

The ruling degree increased three times. The first time was at the Hanging Temple, when the fire in his heart burned and his mood became easier, so he decided to change his strategy. The second time was when the ice spring flowed from west to east, and everyone recognized it.

"The Hanging Temple is because of its capacity... The Ice Spring is because of the ritual?"

The move of Hanbingquan across the river was no different from the Dashun Lantern Festival military parade, and was definitely a manifestation of strengthening rule.

Now, Liangqu has set foot in all of the five major lakes of the Huai River. Is this a way to use the court's activities to deter the water beasts in the Yangtze and Huai Rivers and acknowledge their threat?
Ruling is not about treating people to a meal; it requires violence.

It is reasonable and logical to strike hard to increase domination.

"By the way, why doesn't the fifth level of Chuanzhu have ruling degree?" Liang Qu touched his chin, "Attribute difference?"

When it comes to the original religious story, Chuanzhu is indeed different from Yinglong and Wuzhiqi.

In other words, all three are different.

Chuanzhu is the water god in people's hearts. He became a god by slaying a dragon and quelling floods. Yinglong is the water god by power. He controls wind and rain, and can quell floods. Wuzhiqi is a natural water god, a water monster, born and raised in water, and is worshipped because of his brutality and unruliness.

"Could it be that the Lord of Chuan has no sense of rule, and this is related?"

a long time.

Liang Qu went out to work. He was a pragmatist and as long as it was useful, it was fine. Ze Ding would not give an answer. There was no need to worry too much about things that were destined to have no results.

The busy days passed very quickly, from the coldness of early spring to the dryness of early summer, like a flash of lightning.

In early June, officials from the Ministry of Justice collected evidence, arrested the suspects, and returned to the imperial capital.

Pingyang, Liang House was changed to Liang Mansion.

The otter starts marching with the little river otter.

The big beaver finished his work of chewing wood flowers and looked forward to the July holidays. He was absent-minded while drawing.

The fat catfish carried the assembled wooden blocks from April and May into the vortex waterway and sprinted to the toad cave.

In order to prepare for the Dragon Ball and to hold a river god ceremony in Xingyi Town, Liang Qu returned to Jianghuai Lake and followed the fat catfish to find the Toad King, pointing to the "anchor" above the cave.

"Re-refine weapons?" The Toad King looked thoughtful.

Liang Qu saluted: "Your Majesty, the materials used in your weapons are precious, but the refining techniques are still rough. If you ask the court to help you refine them, they will definitely be better and more reliable against the long worms!"

The fat catfish nodded repeatedly.

Make weapons for the king!
