Rising Xianxia World

Chapter 263 Huangquan Mountain

From the words of Ninth Piaoling, Gu Qiubai understood the meaning of this competition. The first place in this competition can give priority to the right to choose the territory.

The King of Chu divided the territory of the Chu Kingdom and distributed it to the princes and daughters under him, and stipulated a period of 50 years. Whoever manages the territory best will be able to obtain the succession right of the next King of Chu.

This "good" standard also has a judgment. It is judged comprehensively through various aspects such as the quality of people's living standards, per capita output, the strength of territorial expansion, the number of ascetics, etc., similar to the GDP of the real world.

Of course, the world of Xianxia is more complicated in this regard. After all, practitioners are involved, and many things are difficult to measure.

Therefore, whoever chooses first will gain a great advantage, which is also the meaning of this competition.

No.1 can get the right to choose its own territory first, as long as it chooses a territory with good development itself, it will occupy a great inherent advantage.

"I?"

Ninth Piaoling thought for a while, and said: "Father divided the various roads for us to choose. I discussed with Uncle Yan before that the two territories of Jiangnan Road and Shanghang Road are the best and the best choice. .”

She scratched the parchment on the table with her hand. This is the territory map of Chu State that she took out just now, and the division of various forces is very detailed on it.

"But..." After a pause, Jiu Piaoling's eyes showed a hint of worry again.

"But what?"

"These two things are too difficult to govern, and I may not be able to control them." Jiu Piaoling felt helpless.

She pointed at the parchment and said, "Let's talk about Jiangnan Dao first. There is Tianmen, the first sect in our Chu Kingdom. I can't control Tianmen's affairs, and more importantly, the daughter of Tianmen's head is the current empress, Chu Yuntian's mother, if I choose Jiangnan Road, they will definitely obstruct it secretly."

"There is also Shanghang Dao, which is similar to Jiangnan Dao. The strength of the sect is greater than that of the imperial court, and it is not easy to control. Moreover, this sect seems to be on good terms with the second prince Chu Yunfan secretly, and it will not allow me to control it as I wish."

Gu Qiubai nodded, and finally knew why the other three princes gave up the right to choose so generously. This was completely a trick for Jiu Piaoling.

As long as the Ninth Piaoling chooses the well-developed Jiangnan Road and Shanghang Road, they have plenty of ways to make the Ninth Piaoling return without success.

After all, the Emperor Chu divided the territory for them not only to observe the development of their jurisdiction, but more importantly to test the management and control capabilities of each prince, that is, whether they can make various intricate forces surrender.

If this cannot be achieved, no matter how well-developed the area under the jurisdiction is, it is not under the control of the imperial court, then there is no hope for the position of the heir to the throne.

The first prince and the second prince are well aware of this, so they can be so calm about this competition.

Ninth Piaoling was silent for a while, and then pointed to several other territories: "Jiangnan Road and Shanghang Road will definitely be difficult to integrate within 50 years, so we can only consider a few other territories. It’s a good choice, with rich products and a single power, and Uncle Yan has some friendship with the governor there, if we go there, the development should be very good.”

"It's just that the territory of Minxi Road is too small. I guess no matter how well developed it is, it will be difficult to compare with other princes." Jiu Piaoling sighed.

"The next step is the Chaolong Dao. The territory of the Chaolong Dao is vast, and the forces are not complicated. It is easy to control as long as you put in some effort, but the Chaolong Dao is too chaotic, and many people are uncivilized and very barbaric. It's easy to do, and it should take only ten years to open up the wisdom of the people, but this territory has a single product, and only produces crops such as hemp brocade that can't improve people's livelihood, and it will take a long time to completely change it."

"There are more or less problems in the rest of the territory. After thinking about it, it is better to mix the dragon way. Although it is troublesome, there is still some hope anyway." Ninth Piaoling made a decision.

Her mind was also very clear, and she naturally discovered the intentions of the eldest prince and the second prince, so she did not choose areas related to these two princes, such as Jiangnan Road and Shanghang Road.

Gu Qiubai glanced at it for a while, and roughly understood the situation of Hunlongdao. This area is extremely scarce in resources, and 50 years is simply not enough to develop.

Unless they have the ability to change the world, they will rush over, and there is no way to develop the Dragon Path.

Therefore, this is not the best choice, the risk is too great.

Gu Qiubai looked all over the territory of Chu State, and finally stopped at one territory, and pointed to it: "Why didn't you choose this place?"

Ninth Piaoling looked at the direction Gu Qiubai was pointing in doubt, and murmured, "Wild way?"

"Not bad." Gu Qiubai nodded.

The wild road occupies the widest area of ​​all roads, even two or three times larger than other areas, and because it is close to the southern man, it is rich in resources, so it is a rare and good place.

The only disadvantages are that there is no specific food in the wild road, and it mainly produces some animal skins and medicinal materials, so the living standard of the people is not too high.

Moreover, this place is also like the Dao of Mixed Dragons, where the wisdom of the people has not yet been developed, and it is more difficult to manage.

Ninth Piaoling thought for a while before saying: "Uncle Yan and I have also paid attention to this territory before, and even went there in person, but the facts have proved that it is not feasible."

"Why?"

"The Manhuang Road is close to the Nanman, the area is remote, and the transportation is inconvenient. Although the goods are abundant, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport them out. Therefore, although the local people are sitting on the Golden Mountain, they can only be self-sufficient. Not much improvement."

"Moreover, the wild road has a special terrain, many crops cannot survive, and most of the people eat meat for a living, but there are many monsters and beasts here, and many people have lost their lives. It’s also very difficult to develop.”

Gu Qiubai nodded. It seems that Jiu Piaoling has indeed done some research on this wild way, otherwise it would be impossible to understand it so clearly.

After a pause, Ninth Piaoling continued: "Of course, these problems can still be overcome, but there is one most important factor that we cannot avoid or solve at all."

"what is the problem?"

"The Wild Road is close to Huangquan Mountain!" Ninth Piaoling said heavily.

"Ok?"

Gu Qiubai thought about it for a while, but he really remembered that Huangquan Mountain is at the junction of Manhuang Road and Nanman.

As one of the four dangerous places in the Xuanhuang Great World, Mount Huangquan is quite secretive and treacherous.

Gu Qiubai blinked his eyes, as if he had to enter the Huangquan Pool in Huangquan Mountain if he wanted to become a baby baby, maybe this is his chance!

Once he has been promoted to Yuanying, he will have the strength to resist even the god transformation stage, and he will be more confident in helping Ninth Piaoling win the heir to the throne.

"Although Huangquan Mountain is one of the four dangerous places, as long as you don't enter it, nothing will happen, right?" Gu Qiubai asked suspiciously.

The Ninth Piaoling shook his head: "It didn't have much impact before, but since the chaos in the Immortal Realm, Huangquan Mountain has become extremely unstable. Every six months, there will be a monster riot from Huangquan Mountain, sweeping the wild road, making people The people are living in dire straits."

"Even every time there are big monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, the emperor ordered people to suppress them several times, but they returned without success. These monsters would often return to Huangquan Mountain after raging outside for half a month. There is no way to catch them all at once."

"If I go to the Wild Dao with my current strength, it will take a lot of effort just to suppress the monsters raging from Huangquan Mountain, let alone manage and develop the whole Wild Dao." Ninth Piaoling said in a very tone It is helpless.

As soon as she finished speaking, the competition in the ring finally came to an end. Chu Yuntian defeated Chu Yunfan with a slight advantage and won the No.2 competition.

"It's up to us to choose." Jiu Piaoling looked at Gu Qiubai and said.
