Chapter 178 Migration and immigration, luck soars

[Origin points: 30 points] (You maintain the positive order of yin and yang in the world, change the fate of [-] people, and indirectly destroy the Qingxu Realm's plan for the current area, add [-] points to your origin.)
The origin of this harvest is quite rich, after all, it has changed the fate of 30 people in a border county.

But it may be that the sword cultivator and the city god had a profound influence on the development of the incident, and his contribution was not too exaggerated.

"My lord, please move the 30 people in the city as soon as possible. Cangbei County is no longer suitable for strangers to settle down for the time being."

After Chao Qu recognized Master Zhou Bai like the mountain god Cangwu, he hurriedly left with his godliness. Now returning to the realm of the gods can delay the fall of the god's position.

Looking around the wilderness, it was dark, and the ghosts receded, leaving only the devastated Cangbei land, but there was a wave of ghosts passing by, and there was no life.

The cloud above the head is still thick, even without the influence of the previous scale ghost tide, it is difficult to see the sun in the sky of Cangbei County in a short period of time.

Zhou Bai casually dug out a piece of soil, and under the complicated gazes of the mortals and monks at the top of the city, he flew upright to the sky above the county city.

"I am Zhou Bai, the general who subdues the demons. The ghost tide outside the city has been forced back to the underworld by me and the City God. Please rest assured that the general's mansion will take you to the safe Cangnan." With a gentle voice that calms the nerves, the voice came. All over the city, every house heard the announcement from the one in heaven.

General Fumo?Even the celestial beings who dared not pass by the territory under their rule while the ghosts were walking at night some time ago?
I heard that the people in Cangnan can have enough food and clothing, no worries about floods and droughts, and this year's autumn harvest is still "big bumper".

In addition, the Cangshan bandits, the golden people who like to plunder, and the foreign monsters that have been making a lot of noise recently are not the opponents of General Fumo.

With the blessing of various deeds and fame, the people of Cangbei County finally realized that they were really saved!
Zhou Bai really wanted to save them. No big family was willing to do charity after the disaster the year before last. He was the one who took the lead in recruiting refugees and reclaiming land for resettlement.

Many Cangbei people went to seek refuge in the past, but now all of them are small landlords...

The whole city cheered, and the people who hadn't stepped out of their homes for a long time came to the streets to sing and dance. They shouted and laughed loudly, venting the fear that had been suppressed in their hearts.

Many people waved at Zhou Bai who was floating in the air, as if they regarded him as the sun of the world under the cloud.

Zhou Bai vaguely understood that these 30 people would become the most solid cornerstone of his governance just like the 30 elders in Pingcang's hometown.

However, he alone cannot organize and resettle the people in this city.

"All Taoist officials, those in charge of the city are invited to come to the Temple of the City God to discuss matters."

The Town God's Temple in Cangbei County is located in the north corner of the city. It occupies a small area and the decoration is not luxurious.

Of course, this is also because there has been no righteous god for a long time, which has led to the ineffectiveness of the temple god and the lack of incense, so the sense of existence is weak.

Chao Qu moved from Pingcang City God to Cangbei County, and he was the first serious City God since Jiazi, but he took office not long ago, and he hadn't had time to show too many miracles.

Zhou Bai invited people to gather in the temple today, it was the busiest time in Chenghuang Temple.

Because many people also realized that General Fu Mo just mentioned that it was he and Chenghuang who joined forces to drive the ghost tide back to Netherland.

They knew that there was a need for discussion in the temple, so they crowded the streets and alleys around the temple and knelt down to pray.

Zhou Bai was not allowed to wait in the temple for long, eighteen Taoist officials hurried over with a dozen or so mortal officials and gentry, looking at the messy marks on their clothes, it was obvious that it was not easy to squeeze in from the outside.

"I've seen Fumo." Taoist officials and mortal officials lined up in two rows, and then bowed to Zhou Bai in a uniform manner, with an extremely sincere and respectful attitude.

After Zhou Bo solemnly returned the salute, he walked up to the Taoist officials and asked with some ambiguity: "Why don't you all use the method of flying lightly and flying, but insist on going through the gate?"

One of the leaders, wearing an official robe of the eighth rank Taoism, came out and reported without hesitation: "The general's yin spirit is out of his body, and Qingming Jiuyou is unfettered, but he still enters through the gate. How dare we dare to overstep."

After he finished speaking, he paused, maybe he felt that what he said was not sincere enough, then he cupped his hands towards the statue of the city god in the main hall, and then said: "The god of the city god helps us to protect the county city, ordinary people can't detect it, we wait for the Taoist officials to open it." Spiritual Eye, how can I not know the contribution of His old man, and the heart of respect and reverence has not dared to decline."

Zhou Bai nodded with a smile, and asked directly: "You are Lei Xiu who used the lightning chain to defeat the enemy before? Lei Fa practice is good, I wonder if you would like to join the Taoist regiment of the General's Mansion?"

The leader of the eight ranks was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted immediately, and said sincerely: "Li Yuan, the next official, is willing to serve the general."

"It's just, this..."

Seeing that Li Yuan hesitated to speak, Zhou Bai said bluntly: "Li Daoguan can ask for it, and you can rest assured that the treatment will never be worse than that of the imperial court."

"The lower officials have heard of the name of general cherishing talents. Of course, they are not worried about their salary and treatment. It's just my seventeen comrades..." Li Yuan hesitated a little, but still expressed his thoughts.

There are only 17 Taoist priests in General Fumo's mansion, and Yu Yueyun is the only one in the second realm. In an era when such extraordinary events often occur, Zhou Bai would think that there are too many monks under him.

Holding the Cangshan spirit vein in his hand, he compiled the two hundred Taoist priests who can accommodate the general character of subduing demons, all of which are enough to raise the spirit energy.

It's just that now that he has been conferred the title of Fumo Tianjue, the state of luck that has been added to his body has passed, and without the direct support of heaven's luck, he can no longer arbitrarily confer official positions.

In particular, Taoist officials need to consume luck to practice, and they should be sealed as little as possible.

Zhou Bai decided that after recruiting this batch of Taoist priests, the recruitment of Taoist priests will be reformed. Members of the Taoist priest group will not be rewarded with good luck. Only Taoist officials who need to sit in the local area will be directly awarded official titles.

After estimating the good luck that could be obtained by relocating 30 people, Zhou Bai waved his hand and said, "If you stick to the county until the last moment, there is no doubt about your character. The gate of the General's Mansion will always be open for you. There is no shortage of resources, including spiritual cultivation."

As soon as the bold words came out, the eyes of the monks who were still a little bit confused suddenly lit up, and they also looked at Li Yuan gratefully.

However, the matter of recruiting talents should be put on the back burner. Zhou Bai didn't wait for them to show their loyalty, so he strode up to the ranks of mortal officials and gentry.

The leader was wearing a seven-pin red robe official uniform. After asking, he found out that he was the county magistrate of Cangbei County, Fuguo County, named Cui Zhe.

In fact, Zhou Bai learned from Chao Qu that before the ghost tide completely besieged the city, there were court officials who came to support the retreat.

But they only support a small number of people, such as high-ranking officials and gentry in the city, such as the most important core force, the Taoist corps.

In the end, almost all the high-ranking officials of the county government, including the county guard and the county magistrate, withdrew, and one of the largest county Taoist corps on the northern border was left with only a small half of them.

But Zhou Bai still deliberately asked: "Cui county magistrate is in charge of the county now? Can't the county officials come forward?"

Cui Zhe had seen Zhou Bai brightly abducting the court officials before, and he thought about admonishing him directly, but Zhou Bai's question directly blocked his mouth.

"Your lords of the county court, your lords, are going to the capital to ask for help..." Cui Zhe stammered, forcing himself to say an answer that made him blush.

"Oh, I left 30 people behind and went to ask for help. I'll let you, a county magistrate, take charge of the overall situation, haha." Zhou Bai's eccentricity made Cui Zhe bend his back and make the officials behind him blush.

Of course, most of the blushing is out of anger.

"The emperor regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, and the ministers regard him as his heart; the emperor regards his ministers as grass, and the ministers regard him as a bandit!"

"Since the imperial court has abandoned us and 30 people like nothing, the survivors of Cangbei will no longer be the subjects of Daxu." Immediately, a young scholar stood up and shouted to the officials and gentry.

His family made great contributions to the opening of Daxu, and his ancestors took root here, so the first thing he felt about what the court did was betrayal.

Soon, gentry expressed their views one after another, including county officials and representatives of the few remaining big clans in the county.

"General, the 30 people in Cangbei were able to escape from death thanks to the general's kindness. Please don't mention the imperial court again in the future!"

"General, we are all willing to serve you..."

Zhou Bai scanned everyone's eyes, as if he could penetrate their hearts.

In the eyes of the officials and gentry, this general who subdue the devil is like a real enlightened lord, and people can't help but worship him.

bang, bang...

The sound of kneeling on the ground sounded one after another, and the Taoist officials on the side also bowed one after another seeing this.

In the end, only Cui Zhe remained standing in the entire hall.

"Lonely minister? Daxu's lonely minister? As a fellow Jinshi, you chose to stay behind. I am afraid that you are not just loyal to the court."

Zhou Bai didn't make things difficult for Cui Zhe, but just stood in front of him and asked outside the open door.

Cui Zhe looked sideways silently, and there were all devout people who were thanking the city god, Zhou Bai, and them.

His eyes were red, but he still chose to remain silent.

Zhou Bai smiled: "No matter who you choose to be loyal to, you still have to do the task of organizing the relocation of the people in the city."

"Listen everyone, those who are willing to join the General's Mansion will be given official positions after arriving in Pingcang."

"And your first task is to assist County Magistrate Cui to mobilize 30 people within three days. Three days later, the Demon Demon Army will come to escort you to relocate."

Perhaps it was Zhou Bai's state of co-lordship between gods and men that played a role, or Cui Zhe was sincere for the people, so he did not refuse this task.

Other officials and gentry may be puzzled, but they still surrendered their orders, especially the rich and powerful gentry expressed their willingness to contribute their own people and resources, as long as they gave up all their wealth.

It’s impossible not to move. Zhou Bai showed them the soil brought from outside the city.

The clouds in the sky are hard to disperse, and there is no vegetation on the ground. Staying in Cangbei County can only wait for death.

For the officials and gentry, this is not only for the safety of the people in the city, but also a test for them by the new owner. Migration and immigration are the most important test of their ability to do practical things.

"In addition, the deeds of the City God God are indelible. In order to protect you, He is on the verge of falling..."

The biggest purpose of Zhou Bai calling them here is to openly stand for Chao Qu, try to win more incense and faith, and keep God's Domain from collapsing.

Looking at the decaying beams, columns, doors and windows in the temple, everyone silently began to burn incense in turn, and then ordered the soldiers to maintain order in the surrounding area and keep the Temple of the City God receiving incense and offerings day and night.

Three days later, Zhou Bai personally erected two monuments beside the only road leading to Cangnan from Cangbei County.

A letter on the stele, sword repair Yang Ming protects the land; a letter on the stele, returning home.

The 30 Cangbei people must not forget to let them survive. Dao protectors like Yang Ming must not forget that one day, they or their descendants will come back.

The road to Cangnan is very long, covering hundreds of miles. If the organization is not good, this journey can be called a disaster.

Three days was given to the mobilization time of the people in the county and city, and it was also the preparation time for the general's mansion.

Fortunately, the center of the General's Mansion, after knowing that Zhou Bai was going to rescue Cangbei County, made a plan in advance, separated by a mountain, and more or less knew the situation in Cangbei.

According to the resources and strength of the three counties, the officials of the General's Mansion allocated the number of relocated common people. 20 people were resettled in Pingcang, and 5 people were resettled in Yangyuan and Yuanmin.

In fact, according to common sense, it is definitely appropriate to resettle more talents in the two lower counties, but because only Pingcang County has a solid foundation and the manor has enough grain storage, it can only be temporarily resettled in Pingcang.

At this time, Zhou Bai could say a big word, just because of the development level of Hongni Township, it would not be a problem to resettle [-] people.

The receiving area is ready, and then it is arranged along the way, such as setting up rest points along the way, for women and children who are physically weak to rest, where food and water are stored, etc.

There is also the mobilization of more than 5000 people from the Fumo Army, the Garrison Army, and the local militia, plus nearly [-] soldiers already in the county, to escort them along the way.

They are mainly clearing roadblocks and snow, helping to transfer luggage, and guarding against scattered ghosts.

Although the ghost tide in Cangbei County was driven back to Netherland by Zhou Bai, there are still many uncrowded wild ghosts, and these wild ghosts also like to devour the flesh and blood of living people.

With a few scattered ones, a small group of soldiers can be forced to retreat with masculine evil spirits. Even if there are real warriors, it is not impossible to kill ghosts with butcher knives.

The Taoist group mainly inspects and eliminates a single evil spirit or a group of ghosts with more than ten digits.

Of the eighteen monks in Cangbei County, a total of sixteen chose to join the General's Mansion, including four from the second realm and twelve from the first realm.

Including the original seventeen Taoist officials in the General's Mansion, there are five Taoist priests in the Second Realm and 28 in the First Realm. Zhou Bai's own cultivation in the Three Realms has not been known to the outside world.

Except for those who had to stay behind, the twenty monks, including Yu Yueyun and Zhou Bai, kept patrolling along the route, and there was ample supply of spirit stones and magic pills to restore mana.

And this had to make Zhou Bai see the merits of Kuchun Sanren, and decided to help him break through the second realm. After all, the higher the cultivation level, the better the pill can be refined.

After acquiring a few alchemy recipes and experience handwritten by Zhou Bai, Kuchun Sanren built the first alchemy room on Cangshan Mountain, and plunged into it to make alchemy crazily.

As a casual cultivator, he has never experienced that there is a force that is trying its best to cultivate his feelings, "cherish" the elixir and let you squander it, as long as it is produced.

The Great Migration lasted for nearly a month, and many people spent the New Year on the road.

But in any case, the immigration of 30 people organized by the General's Mansion was a successful conclusion.

This is a comprehensive manifestation of the system's ability to govern. The nearby counties and even the state government were shocked by it. The sense of belonging of the subjects under the General's Mansion was greatly improved. More and more people in the north of the county began to yearn for Zhou Bai to unify the whole county.

The influx of 30 mouths into the three counties in the north of the county consumes a lot of resources, but in the long run, luck will increase greatly.

The most obvious thing is that the body of the lucky dragon elephant swelled again, and the five-foot-long red and yellow dragon carp crushed the nine-foot snake that was trapped in Bei'an County City.

With only two months to digest the demographic dividend, Zhou Bai will take Bei'an as a matter of course.
