Chapter 96 You Qing! Finally You Are Here

…

In the north-central part of Qingluo Sea, close to Liaoyuan County, there is a small reef island.

This reef island was once the home base of the pirate gang "Red Dragon Bandits". Because of its strategic location and many surrounding islands, it has been selected to become the center of the new Qingluo Guard.

The acropolis of Qingluowei was built on this reef island.

Nowadays, the planning and design of the Acropolis has been completed and is under construction. The entire reef island is in full swing, with construction sites under construction and busy people everywhere. From time to time, you can still see huge stone puppets carrying huge stones and walking past with heavy steps.

From the outline of the foundation, the prototype of a city can be vaguely seen.

Wang Shouzhe and Wei Wenxun walked out of the cabin side by side. When they looked up, they saw such a lively and busy scene.

Behind Wang Shouzhe, there was also a tall and tall young man, who was Wang Shouzhe's eldest son and the current young patriarch of the Wang family, Wang Zongan.

Wang Zongan is thirty-five years old this year and has already given birth to three children. He spent several years in Longzuo Academy in his early years and gained a lot of experience. Later, he practiced in Shouda Trading Company for many years. Now he is already a calm and capable Wang family elite who can stand alone.

Under Wang Shouzhe's intentional and unintentional training, his personal abilities are among the best among his peers within the entire Wang family.

And his strength has reached the sixth level of the Lingtai Realm. In more than ten years, he will be ready to break through to the Heavenly Realm.

In addition, there were more than a dozen family generals and entourage behind him.

It is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the wind and waves on the sea are much weaker than in spring and summer. It is the most suitable time of the year to go to sea. Looking around, the vast expanse of blue waves, skylight and cloud shadows linger together, and the scenery is so beautiful.

Against the background of the skylight, clouds and shadows, even the dusty construction sites on the island seemed to have a bit more fairy spirit, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

It is conceivable that in a short time, a real city will be born here.

"It's really good." Wang Shouzhe nodded in a good mood and expressed his affirmation of Wei Wenxun's work results during this period. "When Qingluo Guard is officially completed in the future, Commander Wei will be able to get a lot of merit for it."

"Hahaha~ That's thanks to the head of the Shouzhe family recommending me to the county governor. This good opportunity fell on me, Old Wei." Wei Wenxun handed over to Wang Shouzhe and said gratefully, "This time, it's me. Old Wei owes Patriarch Shouzhe a great favor. If Patriarch Shouzhe needs my help in the future, just ask."

Because of his contribution to clearing the pirates, Wei Wenxun's status in the county governor's office also increased. Now, although his position is still the commander of the West City, he has the temporary title of Qingluo Guard City Governor, and his salary has also increased a lot.

You know, the bureaucracy in Daqian is very different from the bureaucracy on earth. The most important difference is that there are rigid requirements for strength.

For example, the city guard of the local acropolis must have a strength above the Heavenly Realm, while the county guard must have a strength above the Purple Mansion Realm. If the strength is insufficient, no matter how many meritorious services and political achievements are, it will be useless, because it will not be able to suppress the local aristocratic families.

Wei Wenxun is now only at the Heavenly Realm, so the position of county guard is out of his reach. Therefore, the most practical benefit for him now is meritorious service, because the amount of meritorious service is directly linked to salary.

And the amount of salary will directly affect his cultivation speed.

If he cultivates fast enough and can reach the mid-to-late stage of the Heavenly Realm before he is three hundred years old, with this meritorious service, he may have the opportunity to find an official position in the capital.

Considering Wei Wenxun's qualifications, this is already his best way out.

"Where~" Wang Shouzhe smiled and waved his hand, "Back in Changning Guards, Commander Wei cooperated closely with my Wang family. Now, Shouzhe has selfish motives in recommending Commander Wei as the city governor. Commander Wei doesn't have to in this way."

You know, considering that Qingluo Acropolis will be an important transit station for shipping in the future and a bridgehead for overseas development.

He made a lot of suggestions during the design of the Acropolis, especially the port. Although the giant steam ironclad is still in the research stage, the Wang family will have its own ironclad sooner or later in the future, and Qingluowei's port must be able to dock Just an ironclad ship.

If the person in charge of this matter was not Wei Wenxun, these things would not be done so smoothly, and there is no telling how difficult it would be.

"Yes, yes." Wei Wenxun was quite insistent, "Whether the head of the Shouzhe family admits it or not, in my heart, Wei Wenxun, I still owe this favor. Besides, who else in the Longzuo County shoufu now doesn't Do you know that I, Old Wei, am the head of your Shouzhe family?"

Wang Shouzhe got goosebumps when he heard this, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

What does it mean to be his? Those who don’t know may think what’s wrong with them~~~

"By the way~ The Sheriff said that the proposal to establish the Qingluo Guard was successfully passed this time, thanks to the proposal and planning of the Shouzhe family." Wei Wenxun suddenly remembered something, "He asked me to serve in the newly built Qingluo Guard. The Wang family has allocated a piece of land. Master Shouzhe, please take a look, which piece of land do you want?"

This is the benefit of having your own connections in the government. If Qingluo Acropolis was built by someone else who was not familiar with it, how could it be so cheap and allow you to choose a place at will?

Naturally, Wang Shouzhe would not be polite to Wei Wenxun.

When he was helping to plan Qingluowei, he already had a comprehensive understanding of the water pattern landforms around the reef island. After a brief thought, he delineated a place near the port.

In order to avoid difficulties for Wei Wenxun, the area he circled was not too large.

In the end, Wei Wenxun couldn't stand it any longer, and with a wave of his hand, he tripled the territory he circled, directly encompassing nearly one-third of Qingluo Guard's sea area.

As both members of the bureaucracy, Wei Wenxun's grasp of Taishi Ankang's mentality was much more accurate than Wang Shouzhe's.

To be honest, the Qingluo Guard was captured only through Wang Shouzhe, which was almost like clearing up wasteland. If it were not for the prestige of the imperial court, and the county governor's office had to occupy a dominant position, Taishi Ankang would not have much objection even if all Qingluo Guards were directly assigned to the Wang family in accordance with the standards of land reclamation.

Now that it is just a piece of land, Taishi Ankang is naturally less likely to have any objections. Anyway, with Wang Shouzhe's ability to make money and govern the local area, Qingluowei's tax revenue will only be more in the future, not less.

After that, Wang Shouzhe and Wei Wenxun went through the process directly according to the rules, and filed the records with various departments of the County Sheriff's Mansion. Finally, they signed Wang Shouzhe's name on the blank land deed issued by the County Sheriff's Mansion, and stamped it with the title issued by the government to the family. With the official seal, this sea area officially came under the name of the Wang family.

Putting down his pen, Wang Shouzhe conveniently put the land deed into the storage ring: "I will ask the people from Shouda Trading Company to come over for on-site survey and confirm the situation in the air. If the wind is not strong and the situation permits, I will ask Shouda Trading Company Set up a base directly in the city, and the seafood produced in the future will be shipped directly from Qingluowei to various places."

"That's a good relationship." This is what Wei Wenxun was waiting for, and he laughed immediately, "It is rare for the aristocratic families in Qing'an County to eat seafood on weekdays. This batch of farmed seafood must not have to worry about the market. Old Wei I wish that the head of the Shouzhe family will be rich and prosperous, and that he will be promoted to a sixth-grade family as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Wang Zongan, who had been silent all this time, twitched his lips.

Wang's current number of Heavenly Realms has already reached three, and there will be more in the future. As long as the father is willing, he can be promoted to the sixth rank at any time.

I don’t know what Wei Wenxun’s expression would be if he knew this?

"Ahem~ Then I'm indebted to Commander Wei for envoy Ji Yan."

Wang Shouzhe coughed and continued to inspect the progress of Qingluo Acropolis with Wei Wenxun as if nothing had happened.

It can be said that the current situation of Qingluowei was planned by him, and he is very satisfied with the current situation.

In fact, as early as the beginning, after he knew the situation of Qingluo Sea, he had already set his sights on this sea area, and it was just a chance for Kunai to make a move.

Although pirates are prevalent in Qingluo Sea, the pirates are numerous in number, but they all work in their own way, like a piece of loose sand, and the overall strength is not particularly strong.

Among the pirates, the leader of the most powerful pirate group is only in the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. Longzuo County dispatched three early stages of the Heavenly Realm to annihilate the pirates in one encirclement and suppression campaign.

In terms of strength, the Jiaolong Gang is far more difficult to deal with than them.

The reason why Qingluo Sea has never been managed is because, in the final analysis, interests are at work.

Before the emergence of aerial cold chain transportation, the preservation and transportation of seafood was a big problem. The supply of naturally caught seafood already exceeded demand, so naturally no one would engage in mariculture.

The interests at sea mainly come from fishing and maritime trade.

However, ferocious beasts are raging in the deep sea, and there are hurricane oceans in between. Even fishing and maritime trade can only be carried out along the coast. As a result, the benefits that can be generated are very limited.

Wang Shouzhe conducted a special investigation and found that when Qingluo Sea was first developed, many small and medium-sized aristocratic families were engaged in fishing and maritime trade. However, as pirates gradually became rampant, the ships of small and medium-sized aristocratic families were often robbed and could no longer rely on fishing. With profits from sea trade, they gradually gave up this interest and turned to develop in other directions.

As time goes by, only a fleet like the Cao family with strong strength and strong men can sail safely on the sea and reap the benefits of maritime fishing and trade.

Among them, Wang Shouzhe did not believe that the pirates were wreaking havoc without the indulgence or fueling of the Cao family and other maritime trade families.

Nowadays, with the development of air cold chain transportation, the preservation and transportation of seafood is no longer a problem. Sooner or later, seafood farming, like agriculture, will become a pillar industry in coastal areas in the future.

What Wang has to do is to be ahead of everyone else, complete the industry chain of mariculture, become the leader in this industry, and take advantage of this opportunity to gain pricing power and say in one fell swoop, becoming the one who makes the rules. one party.

And at the same time.

Not far from the port.

In a long, narrow and small natural bay, the sea water is as pure as ice. From a depth of more than ten feet, you can still see the fine white sand and rocks like jade.

Several beautiful little fish swim nimbly, and from time to time they dig through the gravel to look for food. Not far away, in the cracks of ancient sunken wood, a young spiny crab the size of a palm is lurking patiently, just waiting for a small fish that is not cautious enough to approach the cracks, so that it can attack in one fell swoop and have a feast.

Gradually, the group of small fish kept approaching the crab's ambush point.

This scene is like a beautiful picture.

Suddenly.

A two-foot-long small offshore fishing boat cut through the waves and came quickly, breaking the tranquility and disturbing the group of small fish.

The little fish dispersed very quickly.

The poor spiny crab was frozen in place with its eyes raised. It was probably going to starve.

On the small fishing boat, two "fisherman" were standing one behind the other.

The old man was wearing a raincoat, stooping and rocking the boat. The young one, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing net, seems to be ready to catch fish at any time.

As the development process of Cheong Nawee advances, many local fishermen from the surrounding coastal areas have moved to Cheongnawee Islands with their families and families in advance. They fished in the waters near the archipelago, and what they harvested could be sold to officers and soldiers, civilian teams, or Wang's development team.

In fact, many coastal residents directly joined the ranks of civilians.

This small fishing boat was mixed in among the many small fishing boats, and it was really not conspicuous at all.

On the bow of the fishing boat, the young "fisherman" looked at the "Wang inspection team" more than a hundred feet away. A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and his voice was clear and moving: "That damn guy has stayed at home for so long. , I am finally willing to come out of my old nest."

"Fortunately, although that girl Luo Yuqing likes to complain, she also has some skills and can help me keep an eye on you."

Her voice was clear and moving, and she was clearly Cao Youqing in disguise.

She didn't know what was painted on her face. At first glance, she looked very similar to the fishermen around her. If she hadn't spoken, there would have been no difference at all.

With that said, she turned around and said to the fisherman swaying at the stern of the boat: "The time has come. Please take action, ancestor, to kill him."

As she finished speaking, the old fisherman stood up straight.

"Girl, hide it first. No matter whether it happens or not, don't get involved, lest it affect your future."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure had become taller and taller, and the aura of a peerless master flourished.

…

at the same time.

Wang Shouzhe and others are still inspecting the site near the deep water port and giving some ideas from time to time. These ideas all come from the strange and unpopular knowledge in Wang Shouzhe's previous life.

If it were placed on earth, he would not be able to use 90% of the unpopular knowledge. But in this world, as his status became higher and higher, when it came to all aspects, these cold knowledge came in handy in many accidents.

"Master Shouzhe is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He even understands these things." Wei Wenxun asked the scribe in charge of the construction to write down Wang Shouzhe's words. He couldn't help but sigh, "Master Shouzhe, besides having children, there are other things in this world. Is there anything you can’t do?”

Forehead……

Wang Shouzhe broke into a cold sweat. Is this comparable?

While talking.

Suddenly.

A sudden change occurred!

"Buzz~~"

A majestic power suddenly rose into the sky like a volcano erupting.

In an instant, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color.

Thousands of waves suddenly arose on the calm sea, and the sky became dark in an instant. Water droplets splashed in the air, and strong winds raged, as if it suddenly turned into a storm season at the turn of spring and summer.

Amid the roaring waves, a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat came across the waves and suddenly appeared between the sea and the sky.

This figure is naturally the ancestor Kunhao.

His figure looked so thin and inconspicuous compared to the raging wind and rolling waves behind him.

However, the power released from the body was majestic and majestic, as if it had merged with the heaven and earth.

The spiritual consciousness of the monks in the Purple Mansion Realm is strong, and their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth has reached a certain depth. When they take action, they can arouse the power of heaven and earth. Their strength is so strong that it is completely different from the monks in the Heavenly and Human Realm.

At this moment, Patriarch Kunhao came here to kill Wang Shouzhe, and he was naturally merciless in his attack.

His slightly cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Wang Shouzhe. He slowly raised his palm, and a brilliant blue glow suddenly bloomed from his palm.

In an instant, the invisible power of law spread.

The entire Yuanshui spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be controlled by him at this moment, and it was pressing towards Wang Shouzhe with terrifying power.

Majestic and majestic.

Its power is so powerful that it is like the overturning of the Milky Way and the collapse of time and space, which makes people feel heartbroken.

Everyone was shocked and gave way.

"It's a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm! Master Shouzhe, be careful."

Wei Wenxun's expression changed drastically.

Almost subconsciously, he stood in front of Wang Shouzhe as soon as he raised his leg.

But in the face of the terrifying power that invaded like the might of heaven, he felt that he was as insignificant as a tree-shaking worm, and he felt an unmatched sense of despair.

It’s over, it’s over~ I, Wei Wenxun, shouldn’t have forced myself to stand out. I’m afraid I’ll be implicated and beaten to death this time~

Wei Wenxun felt a chill in his heart, feeling both annoyed and desperate.

Just when he was desperate.

There was a squirming movement in Wang Shouzhe's arms, and a furry fox head suddenly popped out from the lapel of his clothes. The fiery red hair was flying in the wind, making it look particularly smart and cute.

Looking at the powerful man from the Purple Mansion Realm who was riding the waves in the sky, it jumped out without saying a word.

"Ho~!"

With a roar, its petite figure expanded rapidly, and in an instant, it transformed into a huge fiery red seven-tailed spirit fox.

Its huge monster body was like a thick wall, tightly blocking Wang Shouzhe and the others behind them.

At the same time, golden light flashed in its ferocious fox eyes, and red flame lines suddenly spread on its forehead.

That is the natal magical power of the Fire Fox clan, the symbol of "Fox Fire".

As a seven-tailed fire fox, it automatically mastered the use of "fox fire" when it grew its seventh tail.

This can be regarded as the innate advantage of the ferocious beast.

Compared with humans who have to understand the laws and practice hard to master minor magical powers after being promoted to the Purple Mansion Realm, ferocious beasts know how to use their powers almost instinctively after being promoted.

Now it is only seven tails, and the red lines on its forehead only occupy a small area. When it reaches the eight tails, the "Fox Fire" will change from a small magical power to a large magical power, and the red flame lines will occupy most of its forehead. More momentum.

Seriously, this is the first time the seven-tailed fire fox has used all its strength since it grew its seventh tail.

But it has no stage fright at all.

With a roar, its seven huge fox tails flicked fiercely, and the red fox fire suddenly swept out, turning into flames that filled the sky, sweeping towards the sky.

The seven-tailed fire fox is a seventh-level ferocious beast. In terms of rank, it is equivalent to a monk in the early or middle stages of the Zifu realm.

However, ferocious beasts are born with a strong constitution, and their bloodline is stronger than that of humans. At the same level, their combat power is much stronger than that of humans.

At this moment, the seven-tailed fire fox attacked with all its strength, and the power of the monstrous flames was simply shocking, as if it was going to burn a hole in the sky.

"Boom~~~"

The raging flames collided with the watery aura in the sky, and instantly exploded like fireworks.

In an instant, the entire sky seemed to be torn apart by the terrifying power. The terrifying energy rolled crazily, as if the sky was falling apart and the earth was falling apart.

At the same time, terrible shock waves also swept across, hurricanes swept across, the huge waves rising on the sea suddenly grew larger, and all the ships shook crazily.

Next to it, civilian ships with a shallower draft were directly overturned by the huge waves.

Further away, the workers who were still working on the construction site were so frightened that they trembled and fled away into the distance.

In the chaos of war, only the seven-tailed fire fox and Wang Shouzhe and others who were protected by it were not affected at all.

"Old man, how dare you come to bully my brother Shouzhe?"

The red-gold pupils of the seven-tailed fire fox were full of anger, and even the sweet and graceful voice became cruel.

…
