Chapter 269 Zhuge Chongguang’s opportunity to break through to the realm of heaven and man

After Lu Chen arrived at the military factory, he called the two Mo brothers together, then showed them the drawings of steam engines and trains, and explained to them the working principles of these two things.

After listening to what Lu Chen said, the two brothers instantly felt that the door to a new world had opened.

As craftsmen, when they heard what Lu Chen said, they immediately realized the impact that steam engines and trains would have on the world, especially steam engines.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "Mo Fei, you still have to stay in the military factory and be responsible for the research and development of firearms, so I will leave the task of manufacturing steam engines and trains to your brother."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mo Xing said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

Mo Xing was very interested in steam engines and trains. He wanted to see what changes these two things would bring to the world after they came out.

Moreover, Mo Xing firmly believed in his heart that these two things would definitely promote the development of this era. Lu Chen gave him the task of manufacturing steam engines and trains. As the person who manufactured these two things, he, Mo Xing, could also leave his name in history.

Lu Chen continued at this time: "By the way, steam engines and trains should be manufactured in Dayucheng. There are not enough craftsmen in Yancheng."

Although many refugees came to the Northland and the population of the Northland increased significantly, skilled craftsmen in the Northland were still very rare.

Most of the refugees are fine if they are allowed to farm, but if they are allowed to engage in industrial production, it will take a long time for them to be trained.

But Dayucheng is different. Almost every household in Dayucheng is a craftsman. If the manufacturing of steam engines and trains is placed in Dayucheng, it will be easier to recruit craftsmen.

Moreover, the reason why Lu Chen wants to manufacture steam engines and trains in Dayucheng is because he has another biggest purpose. After the train is built, he plans to build a railway directly connecting Dayucheng and Yancheng.

After all, Dayu City has a population of hundreds of thousands, and these populations are very important to Lu Chen's industrial development, so Lu Chen does not intend to let them stay in Dayu City forever.

When there is railway transportation connecting Dayucheng in the future, it will be easier for the people in Dayucheng to come to Yancheng and return to Dayucheng. In this way, the people in Dayucheng will not worry about leaving home. It's too far away and I have been staying in Dayucheng.

Mo Xing instantly heard what Lu Chen meant, and he immediately said: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will pack my things and return to Dayu City later."

Lu Chen said: "Don't be so anxious. I plan to inspect Dayu City in a few days. Then you will go back with my convoy."

After all, the people of Dayu City are also his subjects, the vassal king. The system has determined the ownership of Dayu City for so long. Lu Chen has never been to Dayu City once. Lu Chen feels that he has ignored Dayu City too much. The city exists.

Anyway, there is nothing going on in Beiguo now. Even if there is no him in Yancheng, there are still people to handle the government affairs. The officialdom in Beiguo has been running smoothly. If he leaves Yancheng for a while, nothing will happen.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mo Xing said excitedly: "The people of Dayu City will be very happy if they hear that you are going to Dayu City."

Lu Chen was the son of destiny, the Human Emperor that Dayu City had been waiting for for who knows how many years. If Lu Chen went to Dayu City in person, the people in the whole city would definitely be excited.

Hearing Mo Xing's words, Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "Let's do this for today. I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. You should also seize the time to hand over the work in the military factory to others, and then go back Pack your things, I'll have someone pick you up in two days."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen did not stay too long in the arsenal. He immediately left the arsenal, returned to the North Palace, and had Zhuge Chongguang called to the study.

He was going to Dayucheng for a while, and he still had to explain what he had to explain to Zhuge Chongguang.

After finishing all the tasks for the Northern Kingdom, Lu Chen thought of what Emperor Xia was doing recently, and then said to Zhuge Chongguang: "Grand Master, I recently received news that my father is uniting with some The great master of power plans to take action against you."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhuge Chongguang smiled faintly, touched his gray beard, and then said, "I have already guessed that such a day would come."

"The last time a powerful person in the Heavenly Realm appeared in this world, many great masters died. Now that I am about to break through to the Heavenly Realm, some people will naturally worry that what happened before will happen again."

Seeing that Zhuge Chongguang was not worried at all, Lu Chen asked directly: "I would like to know how long it will take for the Grand Master to break through to the realm of heaven and humanity?"

"The Jiangnan Rebellion is almost over. Next, my father will most likely start to deal with the Northern Kingdom. He has probably won over many great masters now. If you can't break through in a short time, I'm afraid there will be a disaster."

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Zhuge Chongguang replied: "It is not easy to break through to the Grand Master. Although I have clearly felt that I am about to break through, and I have also touched the threshold of the Heavenly Realm, I always feel Not even close to anything.”

"The Heavenly Realm has been separated from the scope of martial arts. You cannot break through to the Heavenly Realm simply by improving your strength. There must be a special rule in this world. Only by passing this rule, or in other words, is it recognized by the world. , only a great master can break through to the heaven-human realm."

"I suspect that the main reason why the powerful man in Xuanyue Palace massacred the great master of this world was to achieve a breakthrough."

"Everyone in the world thinks that he hunted the great masters unscrupulously to show off his power in the heavenly realm. But I think he had to kill so many great masters in order to break through to the heavenly realm."

Hearing Zhuge Chongguang's words, Lu Chen frowned.

In this case, there is a high probability that Zhuge Chongguang will have no chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm in a short period of time?

This is troublesome. If Zhuge Chongguang cannot break through to the realm of heaven and man, he may not be an opponent when faced with the siege of the Grand Master.

Although he has reached the highest level of Grand Master and can help Zhuge Chongguang from the side, who knows how many Grand Masters his father can invite.

If it were one or two great masters, then he wouldn't be very worried, but if there were five or six, he and Zhuge Chongguang might not be able to withstand it.

Although the Northern Kingdom has entered the age of firearms, firearms can only play a suppressive role in dealing with a great master. There is no way that firearms can play a decisive role in killing a great master.

At this time, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something, and then he took out a Kaiyuan Pill from the system space and said to Zhuge Chongguang: "This is the Kaiyuan Pill, a type of elixir that can temper the meridians. Take it." Give it a try and see if it can help you break through the realm of heaven and humanity.

Hearing this, Zhuge Chongguang was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Zhuge Chongguang immediately said: "My lord, I can't do it. This elixir is so precious, how can it be used by me."

Although Zhuge Chongguang didn't know what Kaiyuan Pill was and had never heard of it before, Zhuge Chongguang knew the importance of this thing as soon as he heard Lu Chen say it was an elixir.

As long as it has something to do with immortals, nothing is not precious.

Lu Chen said calmly: "I still have a lot here, so the bachelor can take it. For the Northern Kingdom, the value of the Heavenly Realm is far greater than this elixir."

Seeing that Lu Chen had said this, Zhuge Chongguang couldn't continue to refuse. He directly took the Kaiyuan Pill from Lu Chen's hand and said, "Then I would like to thank you, Prince."

After receiving the Kaiyuan Pill, Zhuge Chongguang directly put the Kaiyuan Pill into his mouth and drank it without saying a word.

After swallowing the Kaiyuan Pill, Zhuge Chongguang suddenly felt extremely relaxed. The next moment, countless bamboo slips seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and these bamboo slips flashed past his eyes.

In Lu Chen's view, Zhuge Chongguang's body actually emitted a faint golden light, which looked very mysterious. After a while, the golden light on Zhuge Chongguang's body gathered together, and then a golden light pillar soaring into the sky extended from Zhuge Chongguang's body. He went out and directly destroyed Lu Chen's study.

The strange phenomenon that appeared in the study instantly attracted all the people in Yancheng, and of course, people from the palace.

When Lu Chen's wives and concubines saw the pillar of light appearing in the study, they were all startled. They thought something had happened to Lu Chen, so they hurriedly walked towards the study.

Soon the courtyard of the study was crowded with people.

At this time, Mu Zixuan also came outside the study yard. She saw that Chu Yuqin and the others were at the door and had not entered the study, so she asked: "Sister Chu, what happened inside?"

Chu Yuqin replied: "I don't know either. Xiaohuan said that the prince and the bachelor were discussing important matters in the study and asked us not to go in."

Hearing this, Mu Zixuan felt very puzzled. What were Lu Chen and Zhuge Chongguang discussing in the study that would cause such a strange phenomenon?

At this time, dark clouds gathered in the sky of Yancheng, and the clouds became thicker and thicker, as if the sky was about to collapse. The golden beam of light emitted from the study was in the middle of the dark clouds, and then there was lightning and thunder in the clouds.

The sound of thunder was like a dragon roaring in the dark clouds. The people of Yancheng saw golden light beams shooting out from the Beiwang Mansion. Moreover, another such phenomenon appeared in the sky, and even a "dragon" appeared. Everyone thought this was God’s recognition of King Bei, so the people in the city knelt down in the direction of King Bei’s Mansion.

At this time, Lu Chen was stunned when he saw in the study that the golden beam of light had not disappeared.

The noise is getting a bit loud now.

With such a thick beam of light shooting into the sky, the people in the whole city might have seen it, and the light beam was shot from the Beiwang Mansion. How could he explain this to the people?

Lu Chen sighed, forget it, let's take it one step at a time and see if Zhuge Zhongguang can break through to the realm of heaven and man first.

At this time, Zhuge Chongguang stood there and closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of trance.

After an unknown amount of time, countless golden bamboo slips appeared in front of Zhuge Chongguang. Originally, those golden bamboo slips only appeared in Zhuge Chongguang's mind. Only Zhuge Chongguang could see them, but now Lu Chen could also see them.

Seeing these golden bamboo slips, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that the world was more magical than he imagined. He probably didn't even have 1% knowledge of the world.

After these golden bamboo slips circled around Zhuge Chongguang's body for a while, they instantly entered Zhuge Chongguang's body. Zhuge Chongguang suddenly opened his eyes, and two golden rays of light shot out from his eyes.

Zhuge Chongguang then took a deep breath, and then all the golden light entered Zhuge Chongguang's body. Gradually, the golden beam of light shooting out of his body slowly dissipated.

Zhuge Chongguang adjusted his breath, and Lu Chen quickly used the system to identify Zhuge Chongguang's status. [Name: Zhuge Chongguang]

[Identity: Dean of Huanyu Academy, Bachelor of Beiguo University. 】

[Strength: Grand Master to the Ultimate Realm]

【Loyalty: 100】

After seeing Zhuge Chongguang's personal information, Lu Chen was stunned.

Grandmaster reaches the realm of perfection?

Like yourself?

Shouldn't it be the realm of heaven and humanity?

Lu Chen immediately asked: "Grand Bachelor, how are you feeling?"

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Zhuge Chongguang sighed, and then said: "I am disappointed in the prince. I still have not been able to cross that threshold."

this……

Lu Chen was a little speechless. There was such a big movement just now. It was obviously not something that a grand master could create. He thought that Zhuge Chongguang would definitely break through to the realm of a grand master, but in the end, there was still no breakthrough?

Where does the problem occur?

Why can't we break through?

Is it true that as Zhuge Chongguang said, a great master must pass a certain special rule of this world to break through to the realm of heaven and man?

While Lu Chen was deep in thought, Zhuge Chongguang said: "Your Majesty, although I have not been able to break through to the realm of heaven and humans, I already know the opportunity that will allow me to break through to the realm of heaven and humans."

Lu Chen asked directly: "What is the opportunity?"

Zhuge Chongguang replied: "As long as there are more and more scholars and talented people in the North, and I absorb enough literary spirit, I will be able to break through to the realm of heaven and humanity."

"Just now, after I entered a state of trance, there was a voice from somewhere guiding me."

"This is not much different from my previous conjecture. To break through to the Heavenly Realm, everyone must pass a certain special rule and be recognized by this world. Now think about it, the Heavenly Realm in Xuanyue Palace back then A strong man has killed so many great masters, probably because he proves his way through killing, and he has to kill a certain number of great masters before he can break through to the heavenly realm."

Lu Chen thought for a while and then said: "So that's the case. If that's the case, then I will ask the Ministry of Education to issue a document. Starting from next week, every child between the ages of six and sixteen must enter the academy. study."

Lu Chen originally planned to promote education for all. He had long ago asked the disciples of Xuanyue Palace to teach the people in the North to read and write. However, at that time, he only asked the disciples of Xuanyue Palace to teach the people to read and write, and he did not force the people to read and write. of children can read and write, so until now, many people still think that reading is not important.

Since the opportunity for Zhuge Chongguang's breakthrough to the realm of heaven and humanity was that there were more and more scholars and talented people in the Northern Kingdom, we should take this opportunity to quickly promote education for all.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhuge Chongguang said quickly: "My lord, I'm afraid this won't work. Nowadays, most people think that only when you are an official can you study. If you don't study as an official, it is a waste of time and money, and for most families, children It can be regarded as a labor force. If children are allowed to study in academies, ordinary people will definitely not be willing to do so."

Lu Chen said calmly: "There are obstacles to the promotion of any political decree. If nothing is done because of the opposition of the people, the land ownership will not be recovered, and the North Country will not be able to develop at the speed it is today."

Seeing that Lu Chen's attitude was so resolute, Zhuge Chongguang didn't say anything more. Then Lu Chen continued: "Bei Wangfu will allocate a sum of money as scholarships every year. Students with both good character and academic performance can apply. Students who pass the application , all can receive scholarships issued by Beiwang Mansion."

"And within fifty years, all students who are admitted to the higher academy founded by Beiwang Mansion will be assigned jobs directly after completing their studies."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Chongguang instantly understood what Lu Chen meant. Lu Chen planned to use various methods to encourage people to send their children to the academy.

At this time, Lu Chen sighed, and then continued: "To be honest, if we start taking action now, I don't know if it's too late."

Emperor Xia had been preparing to deal with Fang Ge Zhongguang for a long time, but it turned out that they had just started to carry out national education. It is very likely that their national education had not been launched yet, and Zhuge Chongguang had not yet broken through to the realm of heaven and man, and those great masters came to surround him. Zhuge Chongguang was killed.

Zhuge Chongguang said: "My lord, please rest assured. Although your Majesty has already been preparing to get rid of me, everyone in the world knows that I am a great master who is about to break through to the realm of heaven and man. The common people of Yancheng have probably seen the vision just now." Here, once word of this gets out, it is very likely that a great master will think that I have broken through to the realm of heaven and human beings, and will reject His Majesty."

After hearing what Zhuge Chongguang said, Lu Chen reacted instantly.

Yes, the commotion just now was so loud, it is very likely that the spies in Yancheng have already seen it. If this can be used to make people mistakenly think that Zhuge Chongguang has made a breakthrough, Emperor Xia will naturally not dare to act rashly.

Although they themselves know that Zhuge Chongguang has not broken through to the realm of heaven and man, people outside do not know, and there are very few people who have seen the realm of heaven and man. Who knows what the realm of heaven and man is like.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I understand what the great bachelor means."

"Then from today onwards, the Grand Master will be in the realm of heaven and humanity. From now on, the Grand Master should not show off his strength at will."

Zhuge Chongguang instantly guessed what Lu Chen wanted to do, and he immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, let's do this for today. There was a lot of commotion just now. I guess there are already a lot of rumors outside. I have to find someone to refute the rumors."

Zhuge Chongguang immediately saluted and said, "I'm leaving."
