Saint Immortal Way

Luo Jun rested for a few days, visited a few friends and brothers, and then entered the old hall of the Palace of the Lord to sort out state affairs.Of the five Xuanming Palace priests, three withdrew, and the other two planned to quit Gelaotang in two years and return to Lu Yang.

It's not that they don't want to occupy the pit of the elders. It's because they specialize in arts. Let them sit in the positions of preaching and priests to ask politics, which really makes them a little powerless. This kind of behavior not only seriously affects their practice. , It also affected the incense in Xuanming Palace.

So they had to make a choice.

Lu Yang agreed with this, and discussed with several priests how to develop followers of the water god Xuanming Palace and incense.

When the position of Ge Lao was vacant, Lu Yang asked someone he liked to fill it. People like Luo Jun would naturally be promoted from Daotai to Ge Lao.

For the vacant Daotai, excellent and trustworthy people are also selected to serve.

Among them, Lu Wanrong of the Lu family attracted the most attention. Ever since the patriarch who made things difficult for Lu Yang's family was kicked off the throne, no one in the entire Lu family dared to challenge Lu Yang.

Especially the patriarch's family, they behave with their tails between their legs.With Lu Yang's prosperity, his Taoism improved rapidly, and he became a disciple of a saint. At the beginning of the Southern Expedition, he followed Her Royal Highness Princess Shouyang to fight against the Great Wasteland of Flame Prison. After many inspiring battles, The halo on Lu Yang's body became more and more dazzling.

From then on, the Lu clan began to follow Lu Yang to gain fame, and with the development of the Flame Prison Great Wasteland, some insightful and courageous members of the Lu clan also began to make a fortune.

After the Flame Prison Great Wilderness was merged into the Great Kuang Dynasty and became Yanzhou, many members of the Lu clan made their fortunes completely. Some became rich, some became great merchants, and some became nobles...

It can be said that Lu Yang single-handedly led the entire Lu clan to prosperity, which made Lu Yang the most eye-catching "genius" and "leader" of the Lu family for hundreds of years.

The younger generation of the Lu clan, the brothers, brothers, and sisters who were related to Lu Yang all tried their best to get closer to Lu Yang's subordinates, and some talents have emerged in these years.

For example, the old patriarch's old grandsons, although they failed in their studies, were successful in business and farming. One became a land rich man, and the other became a big miner.

And Lu Wanrong, after first coming to Yan Prison City, first worked as a Confucian teacher in Bodhi Academy, and later accepted some outstanding disciples, and then went to other big cities to prepare for the establishment of academies and became the head of a academy.

After Lu Yang became the lord of the South China Sea, he sent the aspiring and talented young people from Yanzhou to the ten places in the South China Sea to display their talents, or entered the government office, or built private schools, academies, or set up farming and mulberry halls to teach the people how to do farming and mulberry. .

Lv Wanrong, who is wise and courageous, quickly stood out, and with her special status, she was also a relative of Lv Yang's family, so she was quickly recommended.

This time Luo Jun and the other three daotai entered the cabinet, and there were three capable people in the local area. Luo Lin and Lu Wanrong were two of them.

During the Great Kuang Dynasty, scholars in the Eleven States also paid attention to the Nanhai Kingdom, especially the political policy of the Nanhai Kingdom. Allowing women to govern is a precedent and has become an unprecedented miracle since ancient times.

This miracle aroused strong repercussions among scholars in the eleven prefectures of Dakuang. Some rotten Confucians severely criticized it, while enlightened Confucians indeed raised their hands and shouted their approval.

Especially those women who disguise themselves as men and wear Confucian clothes to enter the school, especially yearn for the South China Sea country. Some female Confucian scholars even pack their luggage and study in the South China Sea country. Above, all leave the figures of scholars.

At the beginning of the year, a major event happened in the South China Sea that caused a sensation in the entire Da Kuang Dynasty. That is, a female Confucianist discovered an ancient Dongfu of Heaven, Human and Martial Arts on an isolated island in the South China Sea. After entering, she inherited a 3000 Years ago, the orthodox lineage of the heavenly, human, and martial arts powerhouses who traversed the world and ascended to the sky.

Afterwards, she studied in the South China Sea for half a year, and immediately rose to the top. This incident not only shocked the South China Sea and the eleven prefectures of Dakuang, but also attracted a large number of Confucian scholars to come to the South China Sea to look for the relics.

Not to mention, one after another, some little-known relics were discovered and spread to the world, and many people benefited.

Lucky four years.The South China Sea country is becoming more and more lively, all industries are prosperous, the population is growing rapidly, and the national strength is growing day by day.

At the same time, the Great Kuang Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition against the barbarian tribes in the northern ice sheet, and the protracted Northern Expedition started, attracting the attention of the world.

The South China Sea Kingdom sent out troops to sweep the South China Sea, and landed on a continent outside the South China Sea. Lu Yang named it the Qingling Continent. The place where it landed was a bay, and a monument was built, known as the "Qingling Proclamation Monument".

This continent is as big as the entire eleven states of Da Kuang, relatively narrow and long, running from east to west, covered with forests, and inhabited by many natives who drink blood.

Although the news of landing in Qingling Continent spread in a small area, many people did not take it seriously. However, there were always some far-sighted and even interested Confucians. On the Spirit Continent, build harbors, build cities, and develop small towns on the bay.

No one knows how much this matter will affect the Great Kuang Dynasty and the South China Sea, but Lu Yang is an exception.

In the previous life, people sailed to explore the New World, and later set off a frenzy of immigration to the New World, creating a powerful new country and a new nation.

Such a thing, in Lu Yang's view, is a model.

Choosing to sail south and land on the Qingling Continent during the Northern Expedition of the Great Kuang Dynasty was definitely a stroke of genius that Lu Yang had planned for a long time.

This matter did not attract too many people's attention, even in the South China Sea country, except for those who were interested, everyone else would have heard of it as a trivial matter.

During the Great Kuang Dynasty, the eyes of the people of Eleven Prefectures were fixed on the barren ice field in the north and the brutal and powerful barbarians living on the ice field.

The Great Kuang Northern Expedition carried out the banner of benevolence and justice in order to rescue the barbarians living under the brutal rule of the barbarian leaders.

The Confucianists in Da Kuang smiled disdainfully when they heard that the South China Sea Kingdom had sent troops to wipe out other remnants of the South China Sea, and then sent troops to land in the barbaric continents overseas. Those barren lands were too far away from the Eleven States. Not really.

On the surface, Lu Yang only sent elite soldiers to land on the Qingling Continent, but secretly dispatched hundreds of troops to explore the Qingling Continent in a flying green boat, and grasp the terrain, resources and distribution of indigenous tribes.

Then, a large number of personnel and materials were sent to open up several waterways in Qingling Continent, all the way upstream, and build towns, military camps and river ports along the river.

In the sixth year of Longyun, the Northern Expedition of the Great Kuang Dynasty entered a critical stage, and the battle was raging. The three-way army and the Bingya tribe, the largest tribe on the ice field, fought a decisive battle in front of the Storm Gorge.

The decisive battle of tens of thousands of people attracted the attention of the world. After three days and three nights of decisive battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the Bingya clan was defeated.

The disastrous victory of the Great Kuang Dynasty swept away the biggest stumbling block on the vast ice field, and the Northern Expedition entered a period of rapid breakthrough.

Nanhai Kingdom, the Palace of the Lord.

Lu Yang was reviewing the memorials in Shang's study, and checked the news of the successive victories of the Great Kuang Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and couldn't help but feel happy.He got up and walked around for a while, and came to Ge Lao Tang.

In the old hall of the pavilion, ten old ministers of the pavilion and dozens of auxiliary ministers are presenting the memorials in ten places of the general meeting, from applications for the construction of a new city in Qingling Continent Xinhewan, application for the allocation of materials, down to a certain place to draw up Reduce commercial taxes, reduce half-full land taxes... There are all kinds of memorials, and all kinds of memorials are like snowflakes.

"The lord is here..." With a yell, everyone stopped.

Lu Yang waved his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, go ahead, don't worry about me!"

Lu Yang called several elders, listened to the recent report of the Great Kuang Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and checked the development of the Qingling Continent. They were quite satisfied.

After all, the South China Sea is an island country with many islands. If the population continues to grow for 30 years, the entire land of the South China Sea will be overwhelmed. The only solution is to open up the endless wilderness overseas and emigrate to the overseas mainland.

This world is really vast. As far as Lu Yang observed with his supernatural powers, there are dozens of large and small continents outside the South China Sea, as well as vast oceans. So many continents have been like wilderness since ancient times. Evolution has been slow for millions or even tens of millions of years.

There are so many resources in the whole world, for the Great Kuang Dynasty and the people of the South China Sea, they are almost inexhaustible. Those resources may be able to feed hundreds of millions of people, and they will never be exhausted.

"My lord, the Qingling Continent has built a city inland along the Daling River and sent troops to guard it. In order to maintain the operation, the army has fought against some small tribes, captured the wild natives as slaves, and felled trees to reclaim the wasteland. Nearly one million acres of crops have been cultivated, and they are already self-sufficient in food!" Luo Jun reported.

"Very good!" Lu Yang nodded, feeling happy.

"However, we have invested too much in the Qingling Continent in the past two years, should we reduce it appropriately?" A elder suggested.

"No!" Lu Yang shook his head, "On the contrary, we need to invest more in selecting some Confucians with pioneering spirit in the South China Sea country, go to the occupied areas to preach and teach, and teach those Tu people to learn farming and the holy way. Qingling The mainland is the long-term plan of the South China Sea country, and it is related to the development of the South China Sea country in decades or even a hundred years, so it should not be taken lightly!"

Lu Yang is expanding the territory, not cracking the soil.Outside of Kyushu, there are large areas of mountains, seas and wild continents. These continents have never been valued by the dynasty. Anyone who has the ability can take what they want. The Kuang Dynasty will not interfere, nor will it have the consciousness to interfere.

Luo Jun nodded and sighed: "It's still the king's foresight. The South China Sea country seems to be more and more prosperous, but after decades, the land will be insufficient. If there is no more land to resettle the population at that time, the society will be in turmoil, so we say , Qingling Continent will be our hope for a long time to come!"

"Bring the holy way to the Qingling Continent, whoever is promoted to the sage industry in the country can build a holy temple and enjoy the incense of the natives!" Lu Yang laughed.

"What about the other saints of the dynasty?"

Lu Yang chuckled and waved his hands: "Where the brilliance of the holy way shines is the country, Baisheng Taimiao may not care how many great Kuang dynasties or how many South China Sea kingdoms there are under its brilliance, so take advantage of the time to open up , erect our own holy temple, other saints, wait a little longer!"

The elders immediately burst out laughing. Lu Yang's decision was very wise and won the hearts of the people.Looking at the people in the pavilion, it is estimated that Lu Yang, the lord of the country, and Luo Jun, the elder of the pavilion, will soon be able to erect the first holy statue in the Qingling Continent for the worship of the barbarian Tu tribe who came over.
