Chapter 35 Focus

"It's unbelievable."

Mu Yu looked gloomy: "There are hundreds of soldiers superior to you, and the leader is stronger than your eldest brother. Who can control this?"

Zhang Zhaohu shook his head: "If this is all, my nephew-in-law is not too worried. After all, there are only a few people. How big is the world? Although people are strong, they are still human. With some strategies and methods, they may not be invincible."

As he spoke, he sighed: "Strength of soldiers is one, and having plenty of money is the second. There are people who have no money and are rootless, so there is nothing to be afraid of. There are people who have money and are willing to spend it, that is a big problem."

He said: "From this morning to the time when my second uncle came, he had already recruited five thousand soldiers. Does my second uncle know how much his monthly salary is and how much his family expenses are?"

"Geometry?" Mu Yu asked hurriedly.

"The monthly salary is twenty taels, and the settling-in allowance is fifty taels!" Zhang Zhaohu said: "The settling-in allowance for these five thousand recruits is only 250,000 taels! I kept watching and saw that he was rich and powerful, and the 250,000 taels were like dirt. Real gold and silver cannot be faked."

Hearing this, Mu Yu couldn't help but take a breath: "Sure enough, he is rich and powerful!"

You must know that even the Mu family, the largest family in Yangnan Road, only has an income of only two hundred thousand taels a year in addition to expenses.

"Twenty-two months' salary is really appalling." Mu Yu pursed her lips and said, "If he can't fulfill it, his burning oil will collapse in an instant. He is clearly confident in his behavior."

Just thinking about it makes my scalp numb. How much money will it cost to support soldiers and horses like this? ! If it were the Mu family, the family business would have been ruined within a year and a half.

"How could we have such armaments without great wealth?" Zhang Zhaohu said: "My second uncle also witnessed the soldiers outside the door. They are well-armed with armors and swords. Where can you get such sophisticated weapons without money?"

Thinking of the soldiers I saw, they were all armed to the teeth. Their armors and weapons were extraordinary at first sight. Mu Yu had pondered before that for such armament, the cost of five hundred men alone would be worth the entire ordnance cost of Yangnan Road's 20,000 troops.

In this way, the wealth is not empty.

His mind was spinning, and he whispered: "The purpose of letting Mu Yi go home and bringing me here is clear at a glance. In your opinion, where should the Mu family go?"

Zhang Zhaohu hesitated and said, "It's a big deal here, and my nephew-in-law doesn't dare to say anything."

Mu Yu said, "Just say what you say."

Zhang Zhaohu said: "The origin of this is secret, and we don't know exactly what kind of force the so-called Daxia is. But if we look at the strength it reveals, it may be difficult for Yangnan Dao to resist."

That’s all.

Mu Yu nodded slightly: "If the soldiers are all superior to you, but with five hundred people in formation, it will not be easy to conquer Yangnan Road, but it will be easy to destroy Yangnan Road... But Yangnan Road Tao is the foundation of the Mu family... Well, wait until I go see that General Zhu again."

However, it is not available.

Mu Yu asked to see him, but he only said that Zhu Bingkun was too busy. Mu Yu had no choice but to order her followers to return to Mu's house immediately and ask the head of the family, Mu Que, to come in person.

On the eve of sunset, Mu Que arrived.

Mu Que and Mu Yu look somewhat similar, but their demeanor is even better. Mu Yu is more scholarly, while Mu Que is more heroic.

Before meeting Zhu Bingkun, Mu Yu communicated with Mu Que what he knew and heard. Mu Que knew what he knew, so he asked to see Zhu Bingkun.

When the head of the Mu family arrived, Zhu Bingkun no longer refused.

When they met, Mu Que's whole body was full of true energy. He clearly wanted to test Zhu Bingkun's ability, but Zhu Bingkun backhanded him and stopped him on the spot.

...

After looking at the photos, Ying Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "The situation in this second realm is easier to open than the first realm."

Zhu Bingkun was able to gain a foothold equivalent to one state in the empire in just three months, which made Ying Yi quite satisfied.

Although the empire is not yet ready for a large-scale cross-level attack, it is necessary to occupy a stable springboard in advance.

"We can slightly increase the scale of investment in the second realm." Zhang Ming crossed his hands and bowed: "Compared to the first realm, the second realm has not found any world-destroying black hands like the first realm, and there is no trouble. . Moreover, there are a large number of people in the second realm, and the Dingkou also have black hair and black eyes, and they are also the ancestors of Yanhuang.

Ying Yi nodded slightly and said: "Now it seems that the emphasis should be on the second realm."

The second world is more valuable than the first.

The population of the first realm was completely lost, and the glory of humanity was dimmed. To develop the first realm, a large number of people would need to be invested, which would probably require migration from the empire itself, but this would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Although the second realm is at the end of the dynasty, Dingkou is prosperous and has a vast territory. It does not need the population of the previous empire. As long as there is technology, it can be developed directly.

After all, the population of the empire is far from enough even for the empire itself.

Moreover, the second world also has a special product called zhenqi - in Ying Yi's opinion, this is a special product. The photos sent back by Zhu Bingkun also contained information about ‘Zhen Qi’, and also included a method of practicing Zhen Qi. With Ying Yi's lofty perspective, he could see through the secrets of Zhen Qi at a glance.

The so-called true energy comes from qi and blood. The so-called practice of refining Qi. People in the second realm do not have the advantages of Daxia's native land and cannot go further physically. Then he would settle for the next best thing, and when his body had been polished to a certain level and could no longer go any further, he would refine his true energy from his blood.

Qi and blood can be replenished through diet, so one can continuously refine and accumulate Qi to achieve the power to shake mountains and shake earth.

However, the accumulation of true energy is still limited by the strength of the body. There is also a limit to the accumulation of infuriating energy. From the Zhenqi cultivation method, Ying Yi saw two flaws. First, the recovery of true energy depends on the body. Once the true energy is consumed too much and the body cannot recover, the foundation will be damaged. Second, the output of true energy depends on the strength of the body. The stronger the body, the higher the efficiency of the energy output. Otherwise, if you have a strong body of energy, but the body does not meet the requirements, excessive output will hurt yourself. It is easy to die if you cannot control the energy and go crazy. .

However, for the Daxia Empire, the method of cultivating Qi is a useful supplement. After the physical strength reaches the limit of the body's potential, you can turn to Zhenqi cultivation and use food and drink to make up for the consumption of Qi and blood while accumulating Zhenqi. When you reach perfection, your body will be strong and your Zhenqi will be strong, and one person will have the power of two people. .

Moreover, true energy has the effect of warming and nourishing. Although it cannot make the body stronger, it can make the vitality more energetic. It can slightly increase people's longevity.

Therefore, Ying Yi placed the importance of the second realm above the first realm.

Then an order was issued to increase investment in the second world - add another five hundred troops, and send more production lines and craftsmen there.

They went to Yuanqi Palace and divided a group of people to study the method of building the teleportation gate after Wang Yulong, planning to build the teleportation gate corresponding to the second realm as soon as possible.

If the corresponding teleportation gate is not built, you can only teleport there, but not back. To strengthen cross-level control, portals corresponding to each realm must be established.

Then Ying Yi summoned Yan Ermei, told what happened, and then said: "Zhu Bingkun has taken over a state in the second realm. I intend to send civil servants to govern it."

When Yan Ermei heard this, she was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, it is easier to open up the second world than the first."

Ying Yi smiled and said: "It is indeed much easier."

Yan Ermei said: "The land of a state is not big, and the number of officials involved is quite large. I will come up with the charter tomorrow."
