Chapter 1279 The mountains and rivers are safe
"Meet Your Majesty together?"
“It can only be done.”
...
The matter was too big, and it seemed that it had exceeded the control of the top leader of the Ministry of Rites, so I could only go to the palace with me. Fortunately, the six ministries were all very close to the palace, and the new emperor Xuanyuan Li reviewed the memorial in the side hall. Logically speaking, there was Feng Buwen here before and they assisted in political affairs, but now Feng Buwen is being pressed at the foot of Wenqiu Mountain, which is beyond his reach.
"Re-authorized the righteous god of the mountain?"
After listening to my description, Xuanyuan Li looked shocked: "Brother, this matter is not a small matter. First of all, every decree of a mountain and water god requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Whether it is building a temple or opening a mountain road, it will consume a lot of manpower. Now the empire is in ruins. I have mobilized a large number of reserve troops to travel to Lingnan Province and Yunxi Province to reclaim land on a large scale. If the mountains and waters are entrustted to build a temple at this time, I am worried that the people will complain!"
“There is priority.”
I sat down in front of the new emperor, gently tapped the table with my fingers on my back, and said, "Eat less food, the people will not starve to death, and the officials will not starve to death, but what I want to do should not be slow, it should not be too late."
Xuanyuan Li frowned: "What are you planning for brother?"
I sighed relieved: "Just plan for the long-term peace of our human race, your Majesty may believe me this time."
Xuanyuan Li nodded: "Okay, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue are all here. Your Highness Xiaoyao can explain everything you have to do, and then divide the labor details and let them execute them one by one."
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty."
I clasped my fists, slowly got up, looked at a group of Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue officials, and smiled and said, "Are you not ready to record the pen and ink?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A group of people prepared their pens and ink, and then looked up at me together.
I pondered and said, "First, I confirmed the two main mountains and decreed Mount Li in the northern border of the empire to be the new northern mountain of the empire. The new Northern Mountain Lord Guan Yang, the old general fought for his whole life and eventually died in battle for the northern border. Now he was granted the title of the King of the Northern Mountain Lord, and the true name was given. As for Nanyue, I granted the title of Luming Mountain in the southern border of the empire to be the Nanyue. The new Southern Mountain Lord Mu Tiancheng, Fu Yugong died heroically in the south. He has ambition and is qualified to be the King of the Southern Mountain Lord."
As I said that, I glanced at the two officials who were writing quickly and said with a smile: "In addition, you must continue to select heroic spirits suitable for mountain gods in the empire. Those famous scholars, loyal ministers and good generals can do so. As long as the souls have not dissipated, I will send someone to help them stabilize their souls and make a ranking according to each person's life, contributions, etc. I hope this list is around 100-200 people, not too few. It would rather choose to be useless in the end than not enough at that time."
Everyone continued to record the flowing water on the books.
"Brother."
The new emperor Xuanyuan Li frowned and said, "This list... Although our Xuanyuan Empire has many mountains and rivers, there are actually not many mountains that are worthy of enfeoffment of the mountain and river gods. Moreover, enfeoffment of so many gods will consume a large amount of the mountain and river spiritual energy in the empire. Once the mountain and river spiritual energy in the whole world becomes extremely thin, it will be useless to have these gods alone. Such a big fanfare is incompatible with emotion and reason."
"I know."
I smiled slightly: "So your majesty don't have to worry. The thing I was going to do was not a reasonable thing, but once it was done, it might be possible to get it done once and for all."
The new emperor looked solemn: "What is your brother planning? Can't you tell me?"
"I will naturally tell Your Majesty that the fewer people know about this, the better. What does Your Majesty think?"
"Um."
Xuanyuan Li nodded: "But there is another thing that is more difficult. Mr. Zhenyang died in the Dragon Domain in battle. This was more than a year ago. I don't know if the old man's soul has dissipated. If it dissipates and the heroic spirit is not there, then the New Taipei Mountain will only be an empty shell. Mr. Fu Yu died in the Xiangcheng area. His body has been buried, but his soul has not been collected. Previously, people from the Nanlu Academy found Mu Tiancheng's residual soul, and they also wanted to entrust him to be a mountain and water god. Whether it is a first-class mountain god or a water god, as long as Mr. Fu Yu nods, it is just a matter of my words. Unfortunately, Mr. Fu Yu refused. He would rather wander among the mountains in the southern border of the empire and look at the mountains in his hometown. When he knows that the moment his soul has disappeared, he said that he could die in the battlefield, and he has no regrets in his life. It's a pity that he can no longer kill the enemy."
I sat down quietly, my nose a little sour, and said, "Duke Fuyu is really the backbone of the empire..."
The new emperor also had a red eye: "Brother, I'm sorry... I was confused at the beginning, otherwise Duke Fu Yu would never have died in battle."
"It's over, and regret is useless."
I took a deep breath and said, "Leave it to me for the souls of the two great masters to restrain themselves. I will personally go and convince Duke Fu Yu. As for the important matter of enfeoffing mountains and rivers, we have another major event that is imperative."
"oh?"
Xuanyuan Li was stunned: "What else is there to do?"
I spread out the map of the southern continent and moved my fingers gently on it: "When our Xuanyuan Empire protected the Dragon Domain, how many countries in the south sent heavy troops to reinforce?"
"I'm afraid there's only Huanglong Kingdom."
The new emperor frowned and said, "The other dynasties basically have a attitude of watching the wall. Even when the alien demon legion invaded the Daxiang Dynasty, except for our Xuanyuan clan and Huanglong Kingdom, the other dynasties were still indifferent and had no intention of helping. Perhaps unless the alien demon legion hits their doorstep, the sword would never be unsheathed."
"If you die, you will die."
I gently patted the territory of Huanglong Kingdom and said, "Your Majesty, send envoys to Huanglong Kingdom immediately. The envoys must have high official positions and ranks. I persuade the Huanglong Kingdom to move north and let the envoys tell them directly that they should start moving north immediately. The Huanglong Kingdom and the whole country will move into the fertile soil of the western border of the Xuanyuan Empire to establish a country again. Our Xuanyuan Empire will reclaim land for them in advance and build residences. These matters are top priority. We must organize manpower and material resources immediately."
“…”
The new emperor was completely stunned.
"Ahem..."
The Minister of Revenue coughed and said, "Does Your Highness, Xiaoyao, know that Huanglong Kingdom has a population of 30 million? How big is it to move northward? Moreover, our Xuanyuan Empire provides them with food, land, houses, and things like this... are enough to exhaust our treasury and make our Xuanyuan Empire poor!"
"Huanglong Kingdom is our ally. When we are facing the difficulties of destroying the country, they will make every effort to reinforce and exhaust the treasury?"
I frowned and said, "No need to distinguish these from me. I am responsible for formulating strategies. You two officials are responsible for how to implement them. As for how to implement them and to what extent it depends on you. I only look at the final result."
...
It took less than 20 minutes to arrive at the destination.
Looking down at the earth, the devastated scene after the war, the entire Xiangcheng has become a scorched earth, and there are even many dead bodies of the alien demon legion that have not yet been refreshed. The huge white bones are creeping, which is disgusting. In the city where Xiangcheng has turned into powder, when I opened my eyes to see with the power of transforming the realm, wandering souls appeared, some hid under the window, and some held iron swords in their hands, patrolling the battlefield.
"Want to look for Mu Tiancheng?" Lin Fengnian asked.
"Um."
I nodded: "Constrain Mu Tiancheng's soul so that it will not disperse."
“No need to look for it.”
Lin Fengnian smiled and said, "You walk straight forward, and he is on the stage outside the city."
"oh?"
I turned into a golden light and flew out along the ruins. When I arrived outside the city, a broken point that was burnt to black and burned into a charred wood appeared in my field of view. On the point that had already collapsed, a figure stood under the moonlight, wearing armor, pressing the hilt of the sword, looking at the direction of the northern home.
