The Emperor is Above

Chapter 549 It's not so easy to get a bargain
“It is such a pleasure to have friends coming from afar!”

Qing Yi smiled warmly and bowed to Xu Zhengjia who had jumped down from the falcon.

"Brother Yi, the changes in the Dragon City are so drastic. I can't believe that this is the old Dragon City that has been abandoned for hundreds of years!"

The complex look in Xu Zhengjia's eyes was beyond words. Looking around at the many unprecedented scenes, his mouth was almost unable to close.

After a few simple greetings, he pointed to the hundreds of students behind him who were jumping off the falcons and introduced them to Qing Yi.

"Oh, brother Yi, these are the 500 students sent by the king to serve under you. It is said that this is the agreement negotiated between you and Yang Lezi.

Thousands of craftsmen from the Shaofu and their families traveled along Tongdu Avenue, and it would take about a month and a half to reach the northern border."

Qing Yi had just taken over a thousand students from the Imperial College who came from Diqiu, and now there were five hundred more students from the Imperial College of Xing State. It was natural for him to be in a good mood.

In addition, King Xing Zhongkang did not mention Yangwu City, Xuanwei City, and the newly built Gaoling City in Lishui Lake, which obviously tacitly acknowledged Qing Yi's control over the three places.

Soon, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, Kui Wendou and others rushed over after hearing the news. These new students from the Imperial College, like the Taixue students, were assigned tasks.

The five hundred Imperial College students Qing Yi saw many familiar faces, and most of them they had met before. A glimmer of understanding flashed in their eyes. It seemed that Xing Zhongkang had his reasons for sending so many Imperial College students.

"Hey, isn't this Yun Yi?"

Zhu Zhiwu spotted Yun Shuyu Shangqing's second son at a glance, and regardless of the other party's attempt to avoid him, he greeted him with a smile.

"Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, I haven't seen you for several months. You are so happy here!"

Yun Yi had a complicated expression and forced a smile. They used to be friends at the Imperial College, but later they chose different paths.

Yang Hu smiled slightly: "We are all classmates. Don't worry when you come to Longcheng Fengtu. The people in charge in the institute are all our people."

After careful observation, Qing Yi discovered that among this group of students, there were obviously many like Yun Yi, who were the second sons of nobles, illegitimate sons, or even children of royal families.

This shows that although Xing Zhongkang agreed to send 500 students to the imperial court, he actually hoped that these students would learn skills in Longcheng Fengtu and then return to the capital to serve.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi's mouth curled up slightly. It was not so easy for him to take advantage of the situation. At most, these people could be assigned to the school as teachers. They could not only teach and train subsequent talents, but also prevent the leakage of core technologies.

After making up his mind, Qing Yi did not have time to organize a celebratory banquet, so he asked Kui Wendou and Yang Hu to take the imperial students to various project teams and schools.

With the addition of 1,500 Taixue students and Guozi students, the overall strength of Longcheng Research Institute has increased by more than ten times.

Later, there will be craftsmen from Diqiu, craftsmen from the capital, and even students, craftsmen, and common people sent by the princes of Zhongzhou, a scale of up to hundreds of thousands of people.

Not only has the research and manufacturing capabilities of Longcheng's burial mound been greatly enhanced, but even the mining of various refining minerals can be greatly accelerated.

Seeing that Emperor Diqiu sent the Golden Eagle Guards to take away a large amount of armored vehicle technology, Lord Xing not only obtained the technology, but also traded for 200 chariots from Longcheng Fengtu.

The princes and generals who had been drooling with envy every day also became anxious and sent letters to the ministers in power in their respective vassal states again.

Urge the country to send the students and craftsmen to Longcheng for trading as soon as possible. If it is too late, they are afraid that their country will be annexed by other countries. Witnessing the chaos in the Northern Wilderness countries, the Black Wind Tribe and Chongguo attacking the neighboring princes, these princes and generals have already had a preliminary understanding of the chaos in the world.

Qing Yi had no time to pay attention to the chaotic situation in the Dragon City tomb. The White Ape King also disliked the place being too noisy, so he said hello and rode his four-winged bird to Shi Ling and Qing Hua.

Apart from occasionally appearing in the Divine Lord's spiritual realm, Mr. Wu Liu usually just maintains his original form as a tree and does not make any noise.

Therefore, in addition to sending all the exotic beasts and ferocious birds under his command into the spiritual realm of the God, Qing Yi focused his main energy on the autumn harvest in the Dragon City burial ground.

Two hundred thousand mu of Lingshu yielded 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms per mu. Under the command of Hei Weng, the harvested amount was extremely astonishing, filling up the cellars prepared by the leaders of each village and community.

Mountains of spirit potato leaves were sent to feed spirit insects, and the petioles were processed and stored as raw materials for making spirit pattern paper, so there was no waste at all.

In addition to being food for the people, spirit potatoes are also high-quality feed for exotic beasts, horses, and livestock. Red chestnut foals in particular like this food very much.

Ordinary cattle and horses have been eating feed such as spiritual potatoes for a long time. In addition, with the abundant spiritual energy in the Dragon City's earth, many of them have been promoted to ninth-grade exotic beasts.

It was mid-September when the spiritual potatoes were harvested. The 800,000 mu of spiritual rice and spiritual grains in the mountain basins were gradually maturing, and the autumn harvest in Longcheng Fengtu had fully arrived.

Since Longcheng Fengtu is located in the northernmost border of Xing State and in a mountain basin surrounded by Yunling Mountains, the time for crops to mature is also the shortest.

This means that the entire Xing State is facing the autumn harvest, and it also means that the hundreds of thousands of troops led by King Xian Yu are about to arrive at the border fortress.

Shi Ludan is now stationed in Beilin City. Every day, he sends out four fat eagles including Damao to deliver intelligence from various cities in the northern border in turn, with a focus on border fortresses and the capital.

In addition, the various tribes of wild people in the north of Yunling would also entrust the Longque tribe to continuously deliver messages, paying attention to the tribal movements in the Xianyu territory and the movements of King Xianyu's army.

"Haha, Xianyu King Mo Yan has become very cautious because of Yunling's movements. It's been two months, and he's still so cautious."

Qing Yi handed the intelligence in his hand to San Yisheng and Fu Shou, "In the past two months, King Xianyu has specially allocated a force of 40,000 elite cavalry to protect the safety of the flank.

The main force and his followers led by Mo Yan travel less than 200 miles a day, and are now ten days away from the border fortress. "

After carefully reading through several intelligence reports, San Yisheng wondered, "The Lord is so concerned about King Xianyu's movements every day, why is he so calm now?"

"You have to stay calm!"

Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, "This time, facing the army of King Xian Yu, our Dragon City Guards alone are too weak.

Therefore, the main force of this military operation will still depend on the armies under the command of Shi Ling and Qing Hua. I have already invited them to come to Longcheng to seal the land.

This battle not only requires the mobilization of the entire Yunling army, but also requires the use of the opportunity of autumn harvest to lay a solid foundation with the various tribes of the Yunling people—"

Before Qing Yi finished speaking, he saw the chief of the Feixiong tribe, Xiong Xin, humming a cheerful tune and appearing at the edge of the basin with thousands of young and strong men from the Feixiong tribe driving vehicles.
