Chapter 47 Winning over
Chu Wujiang neither agreed nor refused.

Yuanji Academy is far away in Tianjing, and he has no plans to go to Tianjing, a place full of troubles.

Longzhou is already troublesome enough, let alone Tianjing.

But Chu Wujiang didn't mind building a good relationship with Prefect Liu, so that when he went to Tianjing in the future, he could enter Yuanji Academy to study and exchange ideas.

So he promised to accept the recommendation letter when he had the opportunity in the future.

I want it, but I don't want it now.

Prefect Liu naturally would not refuse. He had already determined that Chu Wujiang was a top talent. Even though he came from a noble family, they could still be friends.

Positions and labels are not constant.

People who are stubborn are not suitable for playing power games.

After understanding the request, Governor Liu readily agreed:
"As the sage said, there is no distinction between the classes in education."

"Lord Longcheng is willing to study at Yuanji Academy. The academy is always waiting for you."

Anyway, Chu Wujiang was not going to take the imperial examination. When he inherited the title, he would have to start as an official at the fourth rank.

You should know that the top scholar is only a sixth-rank scholar.

After both parties reached a consensus, Chu Wujiang also made a small request:

"Sir, if you want to ask the masters of Yuanji Academy for protection, such as amulets and other treasures, what price do you need to pay?"

He was worried about the ghost fetus in Miss Si Li's body.

After all, it is the seed of the Ghost King. I am afraid that ordinary Yuandan masters cannot handle it, and we need to ask a strong man in the Yuanling realm to take action.

He needs to unite all the allies he can find and minimize the number of enemies he has to deal with.

But he still had doubts about whether Magistrate Liu could be trusted, so there was no need to tell him this information.

Prefect Liu pondered for a moment:
"Yuanji Academy has such treasures, but most of them are extremely expensive."

Chu Wujiang realized that there was a way, and quickly added:
"The price is negotiable."

"It only takes a one-time effort, such as withstanding a full-strength attack from a Yuanling Realm expert."

Governor Liu said hesitantly:

"The Yuanling Realm is also divided into many categories."

"The gap between a person who has just been promoted to the Yuanling realm and a senior expert is often a world of difference."

There are not many martial arts realms in this world, but the gap between the major realms is very obvious.

Chu Wujiang immediately added:

"How good a treasure can the prefect exchange for?"

"To offset this favor, Chu can still give some more money."

The Chu family's precious weapons have been squandered. The precious weapons they earned from the Prince of East China Sea last time, which were more suitable for military formations, were also squandered by him.

The most important thing now is to enhance the ability to prevent the Ghost King as much as possible.

It doesn't matter if you owe favors to others, you can pay them back.

Prefect Liu understood that this Lord Longcheng was a cautious person and it was reasonable for him to seek protection when the Wangui Sect was so rampant.

Is it worth paying such a price?

He took into account the influence of the Chu family in Longzhou. As long as Chu Wujiang was not dead, the Prime Minister could influence the economic direction of the entire Longzhou through the Chu family.

The Chu family has been operating in Longzhou for nearly six hundred years and is the largest landlord. This can be seen from their confrontation with the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion this time.

For example, the land of most of the fish markets in Longzhou is actually collected by the Chu family, so the Changxin Chamber of Commerce can take control of the fish markets and confront the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion.

Judging from Chu Wujiang's performance in recent days, he is definitely an outstanding head of a noble family.

It's worth a try!
Prefect Liu responded immediately:

"I will borrow a secret treasure from my master. It can resist the attack of a Yuanling realm master. It is at least at the [Hua Ling] level."

"Ensure the absolute safety of Lord Longcheng."

“But it’s just a one-time thing.”

To be able to withstand a full-strength attack from a Yuanling Realm master, one must be at least a Yuanshen Realm expert.

As the leader of Confucianism in the world, Yuanji Academy naturally has such masters, but they will not waste so much time making these amulets.

So it is extremely precious.

As for multiple uses, it would require a treasure of divine weapon level, which the Chu family might not be able to afford even if they sold all their belongings.

Chu Wujiang immediately thanked:

"enough!"

"Chu will never forget the friendship of the prefect."

Prefect Liu also nodded and said:
"I believe Lord Long Cheng is a trustworthy person."

Not only did the two of them eliminate their hatred in a short period of time, they also built a community of interests with each other.

Prefect Liu wants to turn Chu Wujiang into a wedge to drive into Longzhou, and Chu Wujiang needs to use him to obtain the powerful secret treasure of Yuanji Academy to fight against the possible Ghost King.

In order to show his sincerity, Chu Wujiang even kept Prefect Liu to have a simple meal together. Although it was a simple meal, the Chu family still cooked two precious fish, two ginseng chickens, and the most important spiritual rice.

This meal is enough to greatly improve the cultivation of a warrior in the Body Tempering Realm.

People like Chu Wujiang and Liu Zhifu can also replenish a lot of vitality and improve their cultivation.

After tasting the food, Governor Liu couldn't help but sigh:
“Blessings and disasters depend on each other.”

"Who could have thought that this magical rice that made martial arts flourish would become a death warrant for all people in the world?"

"In the past, the Duke of Zhenguo found the seeds of ancient magical rice. He did not keep them for himself, but shared them with the world, and was praised by the government and the public."

"To this day, those tenants who were driven away have even set fire to the spiritual fields and cursed... "

"When I was the county magistrate, I once quelled a riot among the tenants."

"This is because the landlords no longer hire tenants to grow rice, but instead grow spiritual rice, which sells for a higher price and requires fewer people to tend the farms."

"I want to be a tenant but I can't."

The world is going to be in chaos, the Lingmi Revolution is coming.

Chu Wujiang knew very well that no warrior could resist the temptation of spiritual rice, which would greatly push up the price of spiritual rice. However, due to the low output of spiritual rice, it would definitely compete for the living space of ordinary farmers.

The fatal blow brought about by technological progress will kill a large number of ordinary farmers on this land.

Will ordinary farmers be willing to be eliminated?
It must be impossible.

If each warrior consumes the output of a hundred acres of land, he will take up the farmer's food rations.

This spiritual rice revolution will surely bring about the most horrific bloodbath.

Even smart people like Prefect Liu were deeply worried about the coming storm.

Chu Wujiang also hoped that the day of chaos in the world could be postponed as much as possible, at least until he was ready, so he couldn't help but ask:
"What do Tianjing think?"

Prefect Liu looked around and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Prime Minister, the Duke of Zhenguo and others each have their own opinions."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also undecided, so he chose Longzhou and Yinzhou as his trials."

understood.

The imperial court was also worried that the death of a large number of farmers would have adverse consequences.

There is really nothing to be afraid of for ordinary people to rebel.

A warrior who has mastered the art of physical training, wearing heavy armor and carrying weapons, can kill an army of hundreds of ordinary people by himself.

Because the destructive power of warriors is too amazing.

When Chu Wujiang was in the Body Tempering Stage, he could easily lift a bronze tripod weighing thousands of pounds, and ordinary swords and knives could not hurt him at all.

However, the large-scale death of ordinary farmers will become nutrients for evil spirits and demons.

In the past Longzhou War, tens of millions of people died, a Ghost Festival was created, and there was also the Wan Gui Sect that caused trouble everywhere.

The imperial court did not dare to allow the nobles, aristocratic families, and clans to switch to growing spiritual rice, forcing most ordinary people into a desperate situation.

Common people are like grass, they are not plants after all, they will also have resentment.

Even the large imperial farms were planted with magical rice.

No one can resist this temptation.

As various forces compete with each other, the area of ​​spiritual rice cultivation will only expand, not shrink.

The Lingmi revolution is roaring, who can stop the tide of the great era?
No one knows the answer.

Chu Wujiang sighed:
"If spiritual rice could produce hundreds or even thousands of kilograms per mu like ordinary rice, there wouldn't be any problem."

Prefect Liu shook his head and said:

"Everything in the world has its destiny. There is no such good thing as this."

Chu Wujiang didn't understand how to grow spiritual rice, so naturally he couldn't give any advice.

The two of them had a frank exchange of views on the spiritual rice, and Chu Wujiang also assured that most of the Chu family's land would still be planted with ordinary crops to keep the price of rice down and prevent it from rising too high.

Magistrate Liu naturally left with satisfaction and also promised to send the amulet as soon as possible.

After Governor Liu left, Chu Wujiang came to the training room again and took away the secret treasure of luck given by Governor Liu.

"Once Magistrate Liu sends the amulet, we can start thinking of ways to eliminate the evil fetus in Madam Si Li's belly. Hopefully, we can save the child."

If it doesn't work, kill them all together, otherwise the birth of the Ghost King will cause serious consequences.

In the final analysis, it is because I have too little time and my strength is too weak.

Chu Wujiang thought of this and began to take out the [Wenxin Seal].

【100 points of white luck detected.】

[Is it transformed into ordinary luck absorption, condensing new luck, or strengthening the luck related to literary luck? ]

This time, a third option appeared.
