Chapter 289
Shangguan Qingmeng is worthy of being the famous business queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The day after Xiao Chen found her, she found an excellent engineering team to work in Dilin Mountain.
There are as many as a thousand people in this team. The lowest cultivation base is the three-star warrior, and the highest one has reached the martial arts realm.
Only such a team can build a beautiful pavilion on top of a mountain like Dilin Mountain.
Of course, because the project to be constructed is too huge, even a construction team of 1,000 people will take a long time.
Therefore, Xiao Chen asked them to build Qinglong Academy and White Tiger Academy first.
There is no rush to build the palace, the palace at the foot of the mountain is enough for him for the time being.
There are seven main peaks in Dilin Mountain, of which Tianquan Peak is used to build the new palace, and Yaoguang Peak is the location of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Therefore, Xiao Chen decided to build Qinglong Academy on Tianxuan Peak and Baihu Academy on Kaiyang Peak.
The construction of the main campus of Qinglong College has begun, and the branches in various places are also being constructed in an orderly manner.
After Xiao Chen carried out county reforms, in addition to the imperial capital, Dazhou was divided into four prefectures, east, west, north and south.
Each of the four states has 30 cities under its jurisdiction, and the four states add up to more than 120. Each city has a branch of Qinglong College, that is, 120. This project is also huge.
Of course, it is not a problem to have Shangguan Qingmeng to help everything, and even the speed of building the branch is higher than that of the general hospital. After all, the standards of these branches are lower than that of the general hospital.
After all kinds of construction matters were carried out, Xiao Chen took the role of the hand-dragging shopkeeper, and he didn't care about everything.
Although the war with Xianglong Kingdom was temporarily over, Xiao Chen was not willing to be bullied.
He has already begun to plan a counterattack.
And the war between Da Zhou and the Tianpeng Kingdom is in full swing, and he must fight back as soon as possible.
In addition to these, there are also the threat of barbarians in the grasslands, the military power struggle of the northern frontier army, and the hidden worries caused by foreign forces such as the Luo family.
It can be said that Da Zhou appears to be calm on the surface, but in fact, undercurrents are surging.
"Zhang Han, Shen Tianyou hasn't left the Imperial City yet?"
Xiao Chen, who was thinking about Da Zhou's next plan, suddenly asked Zhang Han next to him.
Zhang Han replied: "Not yet, he has been in the Shen family and has not left."
Xiao Chen nodded, and then said: "Send someone to find him, I have something to tell him."
Now that the three great families and the Nine Dragons Palace have been destroyed, the Mad Lion Sect exists in name only, and Binggu has taken refuge in himself under the leadership of Ye Fenghuang. Now, only the Spirit Sword Sect, who was the first to take refuge in him, is still outside the court.
This is not what Xiao Chen wants to see, what he wants is a monolithic Da Zhou, and any aristocratic family and sect must fully obey the control of the imperial court.
Not long after Zhang Han sent out a shadow guard, Shen Tianyou, who was staying at the Shen family, came to the palace.
"Shen Tianyou has met His Majesty!"
When Shen Tianyou came to the imperial study and saw Xiao Chen, his eyelids couldn't help but jump slightly.
The young man in front of him has now reached an unimaginable height, how could he not be nervous.
Xiao Chen, who was grading the memorial, raised his head to look at Shen Tianyou, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Sect Master Shen lately?"
Shen Tianyou hurriedly said: "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, everything is fine with Shen Tianyou."
Seeing his restrained appearance, Xiao Chen smiled lightly: "Sect Master Shen, don't be nervous, sit down!"
Shen Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully sat down on the seat, but his eyes turned to Zhang Han next to Xiao Chen from time to time.
There is a super expert by the Emperor Zhou's side, his strength is unfathomable, and he has always been an inseparable personal protection, he has long heard of it.
Xiao Chen put down the pen in his hand, then looked at Shen Tianyou and said, "Sect Master Shen, I came to you today for the survival of the Spirit Sword Sect."
As soon as Xiao Chen's voice fell, Shen Tianyou's heart fell to the bottom in an instant, did he really set his sights on the Spirit Sword Sect?
He asked with an ugly face: "I don't know, what does His Majesty the Emperor mean?"
Facing the powerful Xiao Chen, Shen Tianyou had no room for bargaining, and could only take one step at a time.
Xiao Chen said flatly: "Sect Master Shen, you must have seen it, the four major sects in Da Zhou now only have your Spirit Sword Sect, and it is impossible for me to let the Spirit Sword Sect continue to exist."
Shen Tianyou's heart jumped, although they had joined Xiao Chen before, but the meaning of joining and disbanding was completely different. As a sect that had been passed down for thousands of years, how could he be willing to disband the Spirit Sword Sect.
But what Xiao Chen said next left him with no choice at all.
"Sect Master Shen, I hope you can understand that I am not looking for you to discuss, but to inform you that if you do not agree, I will take coercive measures."
There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Chen's words, which made Shen Tianyou tremble.
But for this matter, he knew he couldn't back down, so he still tried to calm himself down and took a deep breath.
He said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, is there really no room for negotiation?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "In the Great Zhou territory, the one who will spread martial arts in the future will be my Qinglong Academy. Do you think it is necessary for the Spirit Sword Sect to exist?"
Of course Shen Tianyou knew that once the Qinglong Academy was established, all the geniuses of Da Zhou would enter the academy to study, and the Spirit Sword Sect could only go into decline.
He knew that Xiao Chen had collected the three great families and the Wild Lion Sect, as well as the martial arts and martial arts of the five forces in the Nine Dragons Temple, plus the background of the royal family itself, it was no longer comparable to the Spirit Sword Sect.
It seemed that the only way out of the Spirit Sword Sect was to disband, and Shen Tianyou felt sad in his heart.
However, Xiao Chen also gave him a way to survive.
"Sect Master Shen, you don't have to be too sad. I did not want to destroy you by dissolving your Spirit Sword Sect. You also have a lot to do."
Shen Tianyou stared blankly at Xiao Chen, the sects were all disbanded, and there was nothing left to do.
However, Xiao Chen said: "Sect Master Shen, you should know that the establishment of the academy requires a large number of mentors. I have insufficient masters, and I am afraid that I will rely on your Spirit Sword Sect."
There are many branches of Qinglong College. If you want to ensure the normal operation of each college, you must send enough tutors to teach.
Although the strength of these mentors does not have to be very high, at least they must be in the martial arts realm.
Xiao Chen's subordinates have many masters above Wuhou, but there is a shortage of martial masters. He can't send the Wuhou masters of the Shadow Secret Guard to a place to be a mentor. That's overkill.
Therefore, he put his idea on the Lingjian Sect and other sects. There are many strong martial artists in these sects.
Hearing Xiao Chen say that he was going to send a strong martial artist or above to a local branch as a tutor, he couldn't help feeling a little better than before.
At least, the inheritance of the Spirit Sword Sect is preserved, and it can also take this opportunity to open a convenient door for the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, so that more of them can enter the Qinglong Academy to study.
"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I will rush back to the Spirit Sword Sect to pass the news to them."
Shen Tianyou stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen. At this point, the four major sects and the three major families will become the history of Da Zhou.
