Chapter 188: Helping in Times of Need

Liu Yuanchen released his consciousness and looked outside, and saw Mo Lianshan leading several young monks to the foot of the southern part of Panlong Mountain.

It has been more than ten years since the Great Xia Dynasty took control of the Red Wasteland. At this time, Mo Lianshan looked older, but he was still in good spirits.

The lifespan of a Qi Sea Realm monk is usually two hundred and forty years, and he should be less than two hundred years old now.

There are still more than forty years before the deadline.

Of course, this two hundred and forty years of life is just a hurdle that most monks in the Qi Sea Realm cannot overcome.

It doesn't mean that when you reach this age, you will definitely die.

There are records in various classics of Qi Sea Realm monks whose life span exceeds 240 years.

If Mo Lianshan could spend a lot of money to buy some precious elixirs to increase longevity, it would be possible to live another fifty or sixty years.

Those young men were carrying two large boxes. Judging from their attire, they were obviously not county government servants.

Two of them looked somewhat similar to Mo Lianshan.

These young people are probably Mo Lianshan's descendants.

Since more than 40 years ago, Mo Lianshan has understood the ultimate secret to a strong family, which is to have more children.

Although the only descendant with excellent talent is Mo Linghai, there are still many descendants of monks with average talent.

Whether these people are placed in Qingdan Sect or Dongshan Martial Academy, they will have no future.

Judging from his intention, he wanted to arrange these people under his command.

Liu Yuanchen had no objection to this.

When Dongyang Divine Mansion was first established, it was the time when there was a shortage of people.

Anyone who is not a heinous person can be arranged to come over.

As a divine king, you can arrange how many official positions you have under your command.

Moreover, the most indispensable thing in the Red Wasteland is wasteland.

He has the power to expand. If he takes over a piece of land and arranges some people to go there, he can create many more official positions.

No matter how many people come to seek refuge, it can be easily arranged.

Liu Yuanchen's Shinto clone shouted loudly: "Please invite Magistrate Mo to come in."

Mo Lianshan and the rest of the group walked along the mountain road and arrived in front of Dongyang Divine Mansion.

The door opened and a group of people walked into the divine palace.

Liu Yuanchen was also polite to Mo Lianshan and went to the courtyard to greet him.

"Elder Mo, I haven't seen him for many years."

Mo Lianshan chuckled: "I don't dare to be called an elder.

Now you are a monk in the Condensation Realm, and even in the Qingdan Sect, you are also an elder with real power. I, an idle elder, am incomparable to you. "

Liu Yuanchen smiled and said: "Elder Mo, you don't have to be polite. Come sit with me in the room."

Afterwards, he brought Mo Lianshan and others to the main hall of the Second Entrance Courtyard.

Mo Lianshan was not a Shinto person, so when he was received, he naturally followed the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty.

After entering the main hall, the young monks placed two large boxes in the hall and exited honestly.

Liu Yuanchen chuckled: "Elder Mo is here as soon as he comes, what gifts do you bring?"

Mo Lianshan also spoke politely: "Dongyang Shenfu was first established in the east of Qinghe County and is also a neighbor.

It's just a small gift, not worth mentioning.

If there is an invasion from the demon clan in the future, we will still have to watch and help each other. "

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "That's natural, although I, the people of Dongyang Divine Palace, are also nominally under the rule of Shenting and Daxia Divine Dynasty.

Facing the monster invasion, we should naturally work together. "

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Mo Lianshan got down to business.

"Master Shen, what do you think of Yannan City?"

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was stunned for a moment.

The distance between Panlong Mountain and Yannan City is more than 600 miles.

Yannan City, Jin'ao Mountain, and Crouching Peak Mountain Temple form a triangle.

This triangle is the first line of defense of Chihuang Hou Kingdom against the invasion of monsters.

To the east of Qingshui River is a barren land thousands of miles in radius.

In most places, not even a single spiritual vein can be found.

The only place where troops can be stationed is near the foot of Wuyunling Mountain.

As long as Yannan City is guarded, the demon clan's route to advance can be blocked.

Now Liu Yuanchen established Dongyang Divine Mansion in Panlong Mountain. Although it is far away from Wuyun Ridge, it is surrounded by desolate land.

But after all, Panlong Mountain is also east of Qingdan County, and it will also be a proper front line in case of war with the demon clan.

Garrisoning troops at Panlong Mountain can share the pressure on Yannan City's defense line.

Liu Yuanchen knew in his heart that Mo Lianshan's visit this time was probably not all about him, but also the intentions of the senior officials of the Chihuang Kingdom.

Marquis Chihuang is relatively good at handling matters. It is okay for him to talk to his master directly.

Sending someone specifically to talk to him obviously took care of his own face.

He didn't say anything: "Yannan City is an important border defense town in the east and will be the first line of defense against the demon clan in the future.

If Yannan City is lost, the demon clan will be able to march straight in and threaten Qinghe County.

By then, my Panlong Mountain and the Liu family's Dongyang Lake will also be threatened. "

Hearing this, Mo Lianshan's eyes lit up: "Shenjun indeed has a long-term vision, Yannan City will definitely be the front line of the demon clan's attack in the future.

Chi Huanghou also attaches great importance to Yannan City and wants to develop Yannan City as soon as possible. "

After hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was a little confused.

What does the development of Yannan City have to do with me?

My own Dongyang Divine Mansion is still empty, so I can't devote manpower and material resources to support Yannan City now, right?

"I wonder what Marquis Chihuang has planned?"

Mo Lianshan smiled and said, "Marquis Chihuang meant to open up the waterways between Yannan City, Panlong Mountain, and Qinghe County."

"In this way, it will be much easier to support the construction of Yannan City."

Although there are flying boats for transporting goods, the consumption of flying boats during the flight cannot be underestimated.

For the same distance, the spiritual power consumed by cargo ships running in the river is less than one percent of that of flying boats.

For the transportation of bulk goods, water transportation is the most cost-effective.

Yannan City needs to expand the city and even continue to advance eastward in the future, which requires a large amount of materials.

If it relies entirely on flying boats for transportation, the consumption will be too terrifying.

After the waterway is connected, ships will come and go, which can also bring a lot of business to Panlong Mountain.

Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly: "I don't have any objections, but where does so much water come from?"

The Divine Court has sealed many dragon kings, and the rainfall in the Red Wasteland has continued to increase, and the amount of water in various rivers and lakes has increased dramatically.

However, the waterway between Yannan City, Panlong Mountain, and Qinghe County needs to be opened up. This is a riverway that is more than a thousand miles long.

To ensure that cargo ships can travel together, the water demand is not small.

Seeing that he had no objection, Mo Lianshan smiled:

"After the intervention of the Divine Court, the rainfall in various parts of the Red Wasteland has increased a lot.

The Dragon King was conferred on both Jin'ao Lake and Huiyan Lake, and the water volume of Huiyan Lake surged and overflowed.

The Divine Court and the Houguo court meant to divert the excess water of Huiyan Lake to Panlong Mountain.

In Panlong Mountain, there was originally a Sanhekou Swamp from Panlong River to Qingshui River.

Although the Panlong River has dried up long ago, the river channel is still there.

Most of the land between Huiyan Lake and Panlong Mountain is low-lying. It is not difficult to divert water.

As long as the water from Grey Goose Lake is diverted, it can flow into Qingshui River along the ancient river channel of Panlong River. "

"Of course, if you want to allow cargo ships to pass, you still need to help.

At that time, you can confer a Dragon King in Panlong Lake to increase the rain here.

In this way, the waterway between Yannan City and Qingshui River will be open. "

"The Dragon King of Panlong River will naturally be conferred by you."

Liu Yuanchen finally understood that the water from Grey Goose Lake alone was not enough to support the navigation of the river.

Panlong Mountain needs to provide more river water to maintain navigation.

Moreover, with the ancient river channel of Panlong River, the amount of work to open up water transportation will be much smaller.

Once the navigation is completed, Sanhekou Swamp will be lively.

Sanhekou is originally a shipping hub in the Qingshui River Basin, but it has not been developed because it is too close to the front line.

Now that Panlong Mountain and Yannan City are in front of us, we can develop it.

"What are your plans for the Sanhekou Swamp?"

Mo Lianshan said quickly: "We plan to build a Hekou Town there and set up a patrol inspection office to manage it.

One tenth of the shops in Hekou Town will belong to Dongyang Shenfu."

The waterway of Sanhekou can go directly to Qingdan City.

The ships from Qingdan City must pass through Sanhekou when they go to Qinghe County by water.

When Hekou Town grows up, this tenth of shops cannot be underestimated.

Even if you don't do business there, renting out the shops will be a stable income.

Mo Lianshan continued, "In addition, the county city god will also set up an eighth-rank land god in Hekou Town.

The inspection office is under the management of Qinghe County, and the land of Hekou Town is jointly conferred by Dongyang Shenfu and Qinghe County City God.

The spiritual realm of the land god of Hekou Town can connect to the spiritual realm of Qinghe County City God and your Dongyang Shenfu spiritual realm."

Liu Yuanchen nodded slightly. This condition was probably arranged by his master.

His own spiritual realm is isolated and not connected to the outside world.

Once the monsters break in, there is no place to ask for help.

Now there is a spiritual realm of the land god of Hekou Town, which is connected to the entire Shenting.

Once something happens, the army of Shenting can also support it at the fastest speed.

He thought about the location of Sanhekou and couldn't help laughing: "Once this Hekou Town is established, I'm afraid the Chen family will never have the opportunity to expand eastward again."

The ancestral land of the Chen family is on the banks of the Xuansha River, and the Xuansha River eventually flows into Sanhekou.

Sanhekou established Hekou Town, and the Chen family didn't have the ability to fight for territory in Hekou Town.

Mo Lianshan sighed lightly: "Not only the Chen family, but other families are also not easy to expand.

I wanted my descendants to establish a family, but the court and the divine court did not allow private occupation of land.

New towns, towns, and villages must be approved by the court before they can be established.

Moreover, these villages must be managed by the county government, and no family can interfere.

If you want to obtain territory to establish a family, you can only rely on military merit.

Only Dongyang Divine Mansion has the right to freely enclose land."

After that, he pointed to several young people outside.

"They are all my Mo family's children, and two of them are my grandsons.

Although his cultivation talent is not strong, he is good at business. I wonder if the God will take a liking to it?"

Talents who are good at business are what Liu Yuanchen needs most at the moment.

Not to mention serving in Dongyang Divine Mansion, just opening a few shops in Panlong Lake Market and letting them help run them can also earn a sum of money.

"Of course there is no problem with this. My Dongyang Divine Palace is just being built and is short of manpower.

I am planning to open a few shops by Panlong Lake, and you, the younger generations, can be arranged to work there.

If you do well in the future, it is not impossible for you to work in my Divine Palace."

Hearing this, Mo Lianshan's face became even happier.

"I have another unwelcome request."

If someone who was not very familiar with him said this, Liu Yuanchen would just shut him up.

But Mo Lianshan is his important connection, and now he has interests tied to him.

Whatever request he has, as long as it is not too excessive, he can still consider it.

"Why is Elder Mo so polite? Just say whatever you want."

Mo Lianshan smiled awkwardly: "I have always wanted to establish a family, but the court does not allow it now.

I just want some of my clansmen to settle in the territory of Dongyang Divine Mansion and establish a small family."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was quite happy.

What Dongyang Divine Mansion lacks most now is people. The Mo family is willing to move some people here, which is simply a timely help!

Although the Mo family wants to establish a small hill by themselves, that is not a problem.

No matter how many Mo family members there are, how much territory can they occupy?

Dongyang Divine Mansion can expand infinitely and has no shortage of territory.

Moreover, taking in the Mo family now is like buying bones with a thousand gold coins.

There are many cultivators who want to establish a family, and there are also many larger families who want to establish branches.

With the Mo family as a model, there will definitely be no shortage of cultivators who will come to join them in the future.

In their own territory, they have to listen to their own words, and these are all ready-made human resources.

The mortals of these families can also provide incense power for Dongyang Shenjun, which is all wealth.

As for the problem of these families not being obedient, as long as they don't have any problems, why should they be afraid of a few small salted fish?

"These are all trivial matters. In the future, when the water transportation of Panlong River is connected, both sides of the river are good places for development.

You can choose a place on the bank of Panlong River as the residence of the Mo family."

There is a lack of spiritual veins near Panlong Mountain, but there is spiritual energy in the river water.

This little spiritual energy cannot support a large family.

But it is still no problem to establish a small family.

Hearing this, Mo Lianshan was pleasantly surprised.

This time, not only did he have a place to establish a family, but he could also choose it himself.

"Thank you, Lord God. My Mo family is willing to go through fire and water for you."

Liu Yuanchen waved his hand: "No need to go through fire and water. My Dongyang Divine Mansion is newly built and is in need of people.

As Lord God, I can't go around shouting to recruit people."

"You can publicize the fact that the Mo family has established a family in my territory.

Dongyang Divine Mansion is not only for the Liu family. As long as you are a human, you can work under me."

Mo Lianshan patted his chest and promised: "Lord God, don't worry, I will definitely do this beautifully."

So far, the business has been discussed.

Mo Lianshan smiled and said: "Recently, Qinghe County has had an interesting incident. There were originally several spiritual springs in the Xuansha Lake of the Chen family's ancestral land.

The Chen family was able to grow up because of the spiritual energy provided by these spiritual springs."

"But not long ago, these spiritual springs gradually dried up.

The spiritual energy level of the Chen family's ancestral land has also been declining again and again, leaving only the second-level lower level."

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen's face became strange.

When my uncle-master was building Panlong Mountain, he took water from underground water veins.

At that time, it was speculated that such actions might cause some spiritual springs in the west to dry up.

Now it seems that it is the Chen family that is affected.

Liu Yuanchen really did not intend to deliberately calculate the Chen family. He just moved the water veins hundreds of miles away, which happened to affect the Chen family.

This is really a narrow road for enemies, and it is also bad luck for the Chen family.

If I had known earlier that this underground water vein could affect the Chen family, I should have asked my uncle-master to be more ruthless.
