Saint Immortal Way

() Lu Yang pushed open the door and walked out from the military tent. Seeing senior Lu Cang and teacher Huang Zongxi, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Chunyang, congratulations, you are now a talented person!" Huang Zongxi looked Lu Yang up and down with a look of relief.

"It's a fluke to let the disciple be promoted!" Lu Yang said modestly.

Lu Cang shook his head and smiled: "Chunyang, we all know your background, the promotion to the second level of Liyan's Taoism is just a matter of course, look, your promotion will not stagnate in the future, although the promotion of Qiongru's Taoism is not smooth , but people are still very accurate!"

"Senior Lu is absurd!" Lu Yang raised his hand and bowed, his face was already smiling like a flower.

"Okay, take a look at this letter!" Huang Zongxi waved his hand and handed over the letter.

The letter was sent by Princess Shouyang in advance through the Cloud Office. It was an internal message. The official imperial decree was still on the way and had not been formally issued. However, since Princess Shouyang notified in advance, the news must be certain.

Lu Yang glanced quickly, and had already read all the contents. It turned out that there were many messages on the letterhead, one of which was that he would be promoted by the imperial court as General Dingnan and named Uncle Yiyong.

This General Dingnan is relatively ordinary. There are hundreds of generals on the nine sides of the dynasty. There are not many many Lu Yangs, and there are not many less Lu Yangs. It's time to fight.

As for Uncle Yiyong, the meaning is extraordinary. The title of an earl, with a population of more than one billion in the Kyushu Dynasty, no matter how many people want to get a baron or viscount, Lu Yang got an earl right away. It really wants to brighten the eyes of the world.

This is a great era, and it will also be an era of passion, Lu Yang thought to himself.

"This can be regarded as a promotion!" Lu Cang laughed.

Lu Yang nodded, and said with satisfaction: "We have occupied most of the land in the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland, which is indeed a good start for the whole Southern Expedition, which is why the Holy Majesty is so generous!"

Lu Yang knew that titles in the imperial dynasty were very rare, and even relatives of the emperor would not be able to inherit the title if they did not have enough ancestral shadow.

To be promoted from Viscount to Earl is a huge span, and one has to make great military achievements. Only when the time, place and people are in harmony can one have a chance to win such a title, otherwise it would be impossible.

Lu Cang said with a smile: "It's really a great fortune. Your Majesty will probably go crazy if you do this. This is a great opportunity to motivate the soldiers of the Southern Expedition. How can your Majesty let it go?"

"Since the imperial court is willing to grant a title, this disciple dares to accept it, and no one will think that his title is low!" Lu Yang laughed, and invited Lu Cang and Huang Zongxi to enter the military tent.

"Regardless of rewards, the imperial court won't deprive us of our benefits by taking down the entire Northern Flame Prison Wasteland. In addition, the benefits we have gained are far more than what the imperial court rewarded us!" Lu Yang laughed after sitting down. .

"Chunyang is right!" Lu Cang also tasted the sweetness. Although he is not the patriarch of the Lu family, he is an elder. The patriarch of the Lu family is his nephew. Two thousand elite soldiers were assigned to the family, which was one-fifth of the Lu family's private army.

Originally, I thought that conquering the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland would not be beneficial, but I did not expect that after coming to the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland, all the participating clans were stunned by the special policy formulated by Lu Yang.

Those policies are all preferential policies for prospering the market, improving commerce, attracting businessmen, persuading farmers and cultivating mulberry trees, mining and property purchase, such as land sales, mine sales, town construction, commercial streets, etc., as long as a certain amount of money is invested, all of them can be sold in the market. Ten times or even dozens of times the profit in one or two years.

In particular, Huitong Bank can also lend money to people. As long as it is a person, it would be a fool if it does not start a business with a loan.

Speaking of benefits, Lu Cang said with a smile: "Chunyang, the bank that you and His Highness opened is a piece of cake, and the poor Ru has increased his knowledge. It turns out that there can still be such an unusual bank in this world. If the poor Ru Is it feasible to open such a bank?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Senior, you can start a bank, you can also open a bank, but no one is allowed to mint money privately. If they are found out, they will be beheaded and ransacked. There is no room for negotiation. On this piece of land, only His Highness With the right to mint coins, she will only authorize Huitong Bank to issue coins, not other banks or banks, even if the bank wants to issue a printing number, it will not work, because it will damage the interests of His Highness, and will disturb this new area. The circulation order of money for land requisition!"

Lu Cang fell silent, he thought for a while, he could only sigh, and said: "That's true, Poor Confucianism only now knows the benefits of minting rights and coin distribution rights, and we didn't know the twists and turns in it before."

"Besides this, mining is also a lucrative business. The Lu family doesn't have to grab food from His Highness's bowl!" Lu Yang laughed.

"Poor Confucianism is already very old, and he has long regarded money very seriously. It's just that a few nephews in the clan asked me to inquire about the news, and I was troubled by them. That's why I asked this question. Since His Highness will not let go of the coin distribution , then we have to make them all lose their minds!"

"It can't just mint coins. Banks or banks can also do it. Later, I will discuss it with His Highness and come up with a "Bank Establishment Regulations." It can support one or two private banks other than Huitong Bank as an important supplement.

"Haha, how can such a good deed be done without the owner of the hospital?" Cao Daoyuan walked into the military tent with a smile, and behind him were more than a dozen heads of various clans, all of whom followed Princess Shouyang this time. People with real power hold a private army of thousands of people in their hands.

Lu Yang hurriedly stood up and saluted. After the greetings, everyone sat down one by one, and the servants came up to serve tea. Afterwards, Ye Mingxuan, a fat man from the Ye family, said, "Master the attendant...no, Sir General, is what you just said true? , can we build a bank? I’m not talking about banks, but banks. Banks are already behind, so it’s banks that are the most powerful!”

Everyone focused their eyes on Lu Yang, which made Lu Yang a little bit awe-inspiring. After thinking for a while, Lu Yang said cautiously: "There is a new rule in the wasteland of the Northern Flame Prison. Whether it is a bank or a money store, it needs His Highness's approval. In order to activate the market, there must be two or three banks on this piece of land. A single bank is enviable. How about this, let’s build another big bank, and everyone will pay for it. , according to the number of shares, the distribution of shares will be made, and finally His Highness will approve it, I believe His Highness can approve the establishment of the second big bank!"

"That's good..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even though there was a heated discussion, Lu Yang did not expect that his military account would become the discussion place of the second bank in a blink of an eye.

An hour later, everyone finalized the funds for the shareholding, and planned to name the second bank Beiyan Prison Wilderness United Bank, or "Beilian Bank" for short.

[-]% of the shares were given to Princess Shouyang, and the remaining [-]% of the shares were divided among the clans sitting here. Lu Yang took [-]% of the shares, the Cao family, Huang family, Ye family, and Lu family also took [-]% of the shares, and the remaining [-]% ​​of the shares were shared by other minorities. Clans split equally.In this way, the interests of all the clans under Princess Shouyang are tightly bound together.

After discussing the Northern Union Bank, Lu Yang spread out the map of the Northern Flame Prison and said, "Let's attack the Southern Flame Prison Wasteland now!"

Cao Daoyuan nodded and said: "There is no problem with this plan. We have studied it these days. The best way is to divide the army into three groups and advance!"

"One is His Highness's army, the other is Chunyang's Jing Corps, and the other is the joint private army of several of our clans. If these three armies are in terms of strength, Chunyang's Qianniuwei Tiger and Leopard Army two Jing Corps are the most powerful. "In terms of numbers, the Fire Clan Legion should be the most important, so the three Jing Corps in Chunyang must deal with the most powerful Tyrants, and the other two will deal with others."

After Cao Daoyuan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yang, hoping to ask Lu Yang's opinion.Everyone looked weird and looked at Lu Yang from time to time, because they all felt incredible.

Among Lu Yang's three police regiments, the first is Qianniuwei, which is composed of Mongolian puppet fighters. Recently, 1000 people from the Mona tribe were selected as extra staff.The second police regiment is the Tiger and Leopard Army, all of them are barbarians with strong backs, each of them is as strong as a bull, far surpassing their private troops.The third police corps is the North Flame Prison Tribe Legion formed by the Flint Tribe and surrounding brother tribes, also known as the Fire Tribe corps. The number has now rapidly expanded to 3. It can be said that there are a large number of people and can form a cluster advantage.

This is the power under Lu Yang's hands. It is very powerful, three points more powerful than the sum of all the private armies of their clans.This is not the power of the Lu clan, but the power mastered by Lu Yang alone.

The Qianniuwei came from the Mongolian tribe who ruled the wilderness of the Southern Flame Prison. As for the Tiger and Leopard Army, they were very mysterious, and they didn't know where they came from.

Being able to control three elite regiments in his hands is Lu Yang's ability. This kind of power makes all the clan members respect and fear Lu Yang. He fills in the logistics, or fills in the "three halls" for the management and development of the territory.

It can be said that the Lu family is the most nourishing. They don't need to go to the battlefield at all, because with the terrible quality of the Lu family in Luqiu County, if they really go to the battlefield, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.However, with their high quality and low quality, filling the logistics and "three halls" is the best use of everything.

"I have no objection, my jing corps will definitely gnaw the hardest bones and remove the hardest stones for His Highness!" Lu Yang expressed his opinion, and the rest nodded, gearing up.

From the very beginning, Lu Yang took over half of the territory of the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland for Da Kuang, taking the lead. It was actually the first achievement of Da Kuang's Southern Expedition. They were naturally not far behind. The entire Northern Flame Prison Wasteland must be completely If it is won, next year will be the time to attack the Southern Flame Prison Wasteland.

The Southern Flame Prison Wasteland is the real tough nut to crack. Everyone thinks about it and feels a little numb, but compared to the Mesopotamia, the difficulty of the strategy is ten times smaller.

Mesopotamia, Tusk City.

The city gate full of long giant beast fangs was breached, and the royal army rushed into the city like a tide, engaging in the most brutal street fighting with tens of thousands of fang barbarians.

By the time the sun was setting, the first battle between the royal army and the Bai clan's private army against the barbarians had ended. The powerful Fangfang City fell to the north. Thirty thousand barbarian soldiers died. Women and children were slaughtered.The army of the imperial dynasty was filled with dead bodies, from ten miles outside Fangfang City to every corner of the city. According to preliminary statistics, more than [-] people were killed or injured.

When the news reached the Imperial Palace in Shendu, Emperor Wen's face trembled all over, and he cut off the Holy Dao brush in his hand on the spot.And the news spread to Lu Yang's military account that Lu Yang was discussing with everyone the three routes to conquer the Northern Flame Prison Wasteland.

Lu Yang looked at the letter that had just been delivered, showing a look of shock: "In the first battle of the Southern Expedition, [-] people were killed or injured on the side of the dynasty, the city of fangs was destroyed, and the whole city was slaughtered?"

Pass the letter to Cao Daoyuan and the others, and when everyone reads it with livid faces, the atmosphere in the military tent is extremely heavy.

"This is not good news. In the first battle in the Mesopotamia, the losses were heavy, and there was a massacre of the city. This is not a victory, it is a massacre!" Lu Yang said with a pale face. The massacre of the city means the future of the Mesopotamia The power of resistance will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will be more and more difficult for the dynasty to completely conquer the Mesopotamia with a large population of barbarians and densely populated barbarian cities.

"It's because we had the foresight to start with the remote North Flame Prison, which turned out to be the best offensive strategy!" Huang Zongxi sighed and felt very lucky.

The other clans also felt the same way. Most of their clans followed the imperial army to conquer the Mesopotamia southwards, and they didn't know how much they lost, but it was conceivable that the situation was not optimistic.On the contrary, it was his own army that was assigned to follow Princess Shouyang. So far, the situation has been very good.
