Chapter 233 Surrender
Ling Yunyi looked at the gate of Yidu City in front of him and was stunned.
My God, I traveled thousands of miles in this instant!
He was a little incredulous and asked, "Is this really Qingzhou City?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You said seeing is believing, right? Now, just pick a direction or a place. I'll take you there to see it."
Ling Yunyi thought about it carefully, then said carefully: "How about going to the east to have a look?"
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
After saying that, he instantly put on soft armor, divine armor, divine wings and cloak.
Then, he turned into a figure about ten feet tall, spread his golden wings, flew into the sky, wrapped his Lingyun wings on his back, and then flew to the east.
He was not flying very high, nor was he flying very fast. At least, Ling Yunyi could still roughly see the situation on the ground.
However, Ling Yunyi was dumbfounded. He clearly saw someone riding a horse on the official road below, but King Jiushan overtook him in a flash, leaving him far behind and disappearing in a moment.
What kind of speed is this? Even birds aren’t that fast, right?
He was stunned for a while, and during that time he had already flown hundreds of miles away.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Ling, why don't you go down and take a look? If you don't go down, you will reach the border of Laizhou Prefecture."
Ling Yunyi said very straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to Laizhou Prefecture to take a look."
You are such a talented person. Are you afraid that I have arranged everything in Qingzhou Prefecture?
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Okay, no problem, you can go wherever you want."
Not long after, they entered the territory of Laizhou Prefecture. Ling Yunyi deliberately let Chen Jiu fly for a while before picking a small mountain village and said lightly, "Your Majesty, let's go to this village."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu flew down without hesitation and landed in the mountain village.
"Ah, there is a monster, God help me."
Upon seeing this, the villagers around immediately ran home as if they were escaping for their lives.
A golden-bodied deity over two meters tall ran out of the temple at high speed, shouting, "Who are you, you evildoer? How dare you come to the fiefdom of His Majesty the King of Nine Mountains and run wild? Do you want to live?"
Uh, I am the King of Nine Mountains.
Chen Jiu put Ling Yunyi down, changed his real body back to the height of an ordinary person, and said awkwardly: "It's me."
The golden-bodied deity took a closer look and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't look carefully and didn't know it was you. I apologize for the offense."
Chen Jiu shook his head said, "It's okay, it's okay. Protecting the villagers is what you should do. I didn't tell them in advance. By the way, where is this place?"
The golden spirit quickly introduced: "Your Highness, this is Jingjiazhai Village in Pingdu Prefecture."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Tell the villagers that I am here with Lord Ling to see how they are doing. Don't kneel down or worry about us. We will just look around."
Upon hearing this, the god ran around shouting.
When the villagers heard that it was the King of Nine Mountains who had come in person, they all rushed out of their houses and looked at him curiously and respectfully. It seemed that they all wanted to come over, but did not dare to.
Seeing this, Ling Yunyi went directly to the home of a single old man and asked kindly, "Old man, what is your surname and your name?"
Uh, why did you come to Jingjiazhai Village to ask me my last name?
The old man took a moment to answer, then said carefully: "Sir, my surname is Jing and my given name is Sixteen. You can call me Lao Liu or Sixteen."
Ling Yunyi nodded slightly, and then asked: "Sixth Brother, where are your family members?"
Jing Shiliu said sadly: "My family was poor before and I couldn't afford to marry a wife. After my parents died, I was the only one left."
Well, this kind of family can be found everywhere in Jiangbei.
Ling Yunyi sighed slightly and asked again: "So how are you doing now?"
Jing Shiliu immediately said respectfully to Chen Jiu, "I want to thank His Majesty. His Majesty ordered people to get all my family's land back to me. Now I cultivate more than 20 acres of land by myself. My life is so good."
Ling Yunyi was surprised and asked, "How can an old man like you cultivate more than 20 acres of land?"
Jing Shiliu quickly explained: "During the busy farming season, everyone will help me. Those who have cattle will lend their cattle, and those who are strong will lend their labor. I don't have to do too much work. I just take care of their meals."
Ling Yunyi looked at his patched clothes and asked with some suspicion: "You have been farming for more than 20 acres of land and you still dress like this?"
Jing Shiliu said without hesitation: "This is my old clothes. I have to work in the fields. They are dirty and easily scratched. I will wear my old clothes . I usually wear new clothes."
Ling Yunyi still said in disbelief: "Can we go in and take a look? I want to see your new clothes."
Jing Shiliu quickly raised his hand and said, "My Lord, please come in."
When Ling Yunyi walked into Jing Shiliu's house and took a look, he was stunned.
The house looks a bit old from the outside, but inside it has brand new tables, chairs, benches, beds, wardrobes, etc. Even the bedding is new.
Jing Shiliu opened the closet and pointed at the new clothes inside and said, "I don't have many clothes to wear, so I only bought about ten pieces. Please forgive me, sir."
Why does this seem a bit fake? How could a single old man have so many new things?
Ling Yunyi thought for a moment and asked, "Can you take us to the kitchen?"
Jing Shiliu quickly raised his hand and said, "My Lord, please come this way."
Ling Yunyi followed Jing Shiliu into the kitchen and was stunned when he saw it.
The cupboards, stove, big iron pot, bucket, bowls and chopsticks, etc. were all new. The floor was paved with granite slabs, and there was a row of meat hanging on the beams.
The meat was smoked black and it was obviously not just hung there for a day or two.
This single old man's life is even better than that of a provincial governor !
He looked at it carefully for a while, then asked, "Where is your land? Can you take us to see it?"
this.
Jing Shiliu hesitated and said, "My family's land is three or four miles away from here. It's okay for us country folk to get covered in mud in the fields. Do you really want to go, Your Majesty?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, just tell me the approximate location and I 'll take you there."
By the way, the prince is a god.
Jing Shiliu quickly pointed to the west and said, "Your Highness, there is a small hill three or four miles from here. The large piece of land to the east of the hill is all my family's land."
Chen Jiu spread out his spiritual sense and swept over, and in a flash he arrived at the top of the hill. He then used his spiritual sense to wrap around, and Ling Yunyi and Jing Shiliu flew to his side in a flash.
Is this the method of shrinking the distance into an inch? Ling Yunyi was shocked by this method.
He was stunned for a long time before he looked around.
The fields around here are full of crops, but they don't seem to be growing as well as the crops in Jiangbei.
He thought for a moment, then asked, "Are you short of water?"
Is there still a shortage of water in this place surrounded by the sea on three sides?
This is indeed true. Yu Qi rebelled because of the severe drought in Dengzhou and Laizhou prefectures.
Jing Shiliu nodded and sighed, "Yes, there is no big river here, and there is not much rain. We rely on a few wells far away to irrigate the crops. Although there are water trucks installed in those wells, there is too little water in the wells. They run out of water after a while."
A well?
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I have dug wells for others before. How about I dig some wells for you?"
The prince also knows how to dig wells?
Jing Shiliu said with some embarrassment: "My Lord, you are worth a lot of money, so it's not good to ask you to dig a well, right?"
Chen Jiu still smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I can dig a well very quickly. Just tell me where you need to dig a well. Any land in the village is fine. Just point out the location for digging a well."
By the way, the prince is a god.
Jing Shiliu said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I will be more than polite. If you don't mind the trouble, could you dig a well for us every mile?"
Chen Jiu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, just open it next to the canal, right?"
Jing Shiliu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, he expanded his spiritual sense and scanned the ground, and then he appeared next to a canal about a mile away. He punched down without hesitation, and then he appeared two miles away again.
He flashed away for a while and then flashed back, clapped his hands and said, "Alright."
Is that it?
The problem is, there is not a drop of water in the ditch.
Ling Yunyi asked carefully: "My Lord, why is there no water?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "The underground river here is buried quite deep, so it will take some time for the water to emerge. Look, isn't it coming?"
Sure enough, the first well he had just dug had started to spew water. He dug that well directly into a ditch, and the ditch soon filled with water. As soon as the ditch was full, the water level stopped rising.
This is amazing.
Ling Yunyi was stunned when he saw this.
Seeing this, Jing Shiliu could not help but said excitedly, "That's good. We are finally not short of water. Your Majesty, I want to open the door and release water into the fields. Is that ok?"
Chen Jiu waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Go ahead."
Jing Shiliu immediately cheered, "Water is coming, water is coming, the prince has dug a well for us, everyone hurry up and release the water!"
The villagers not far away heard the news and spread it around. Soon, a group of people ran out of the village.
Everyone came to their own fields happily, rolled up their sleeves and started digging. Soon, the water in the ditches flowed into the fields.
Seeing this, Ling Yunyi couldn't help but sighed: "Your Majesty, I never thought that you would care so much about the people."
Your subordinate?
That should be about it.
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "The place you brought me to this time is very good. I never thought that there would be a place with water shortage. In fact, there are quite a lot of underground rivers here. As long as we dig some deep wells, the problem of water shortage will be solved.
I have to send a notice to all the state governments, asking them to report any such places to me, and to mark the places where wells need to be dug with lime powder. Then I will take some time to dig all the wells for them. "
Alas, it would be great if Jiajing could have a chance of being like you.
Ling Yunyi sighed secretly, and then asked: "My Lord, if you conquer the world, will you still care about the people like you do now?"
Chen Jiu said frankly: "I don't have time to think about these things. I have to practice. You have to think about these things. You see, these people live a good life. In fact, it is not my credit. It is all done bit by bit by the officials selected by the Qinglian Sect. I have never been to this place."
Hearing this, Ling Yunyi said carefully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be the emperor like this."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I don't have time to be an emperor. When the time comes, I will try my best to train you a good emperor who serves the country and the people. If he doesn't serve the country and the people, I will take him to cultivate immortality and replace him with another one."
It turns out that you conquered the world just to become the emperor!
It's so rare.
Jiajing is so different from you. He clearly wanted to cultivate immortality and also wanted to seize the throne. The crown prince he chose to succeed him was even less of a person. But you are trying your best to cultivate a good emperor who serves the country and the people.
Ling Yunyi said solemnly: "It seems that for the sake of the people of the world, I have to order all the troops in Jiangbei to surrender."
He surrendered.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, which of the six ministries in the court do you want to be in charge of?"
Ling Yunyi sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I want to be the Minister of Revenue and stop those corrupt officials, but they don't let me manage the money at all."
Very good, very good, with ideas and insights, he is indeed a talented person.
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "Okay, when I take over Nanzhili, you will be the Minister of Revenue."
