Chapter 392 Good and Bad Omens for the Future

The afterglow of the setting sun on this day was extraordinarily bright, and the world seemed to be a bride covered in red clouds. Such a beautiful and enchanting evening is naturally indispensable to some so-called romantic and elegant people who come out to cheer, but in the eyes of some people, this evening is very different, the sunset glow is a bit too red!

"There are signs of good and bad in the future, and the bloody glow is all over the sky, it's not a good omen!" Many people who know a little bit about celestial phenomena, or hope and so on, expressed such emotion.

In the Anyang City Lord's Mansion, Ling Zhifeng's expression was unprecedentedly dignified. "The disaster of blood and light, this is the real disaster of blood and light!"

Li Xian looked at Ling Zhifeng's tense face, and seemed a little puzzled, "The bloody disaster we usually talk about usually only involves individuals?"

"Not the same, totally different.

In terms of scale, a person's bloody disaster can only have a little mark on Yintang. Then compared to the bloody light, the young master can calculate how many lives will be robbed?

What kind of catastrophe it will be, cannot be deduced for the time being, but one thing is certain, an unprecedented catastrophe is about to come; its scope may cover the entire east of Yingzhou, and even spread to the entire Yingzhou.

correct! "

Ling Zhifeng jumped up suddenly, "Young master, do you still remember that not long after arriving in Anyang, one morning, the young master said that he saw the evil spirit in the sky?"

"There was this time!" Li Xian clearly remembered that this time, Ling Zhifeng also specially built an altar to sacrifice to the heavens, and got the prophecy that "the seven stars shine together, the emperor star will disappear; the sun rises in the east, and the stars hang down the four fields".

Ling Zhifeng's face became more serious, "Master, there are signs in the east, and there are hidden signs, and there are signs of blood in the west.

This is a catastrophe!

And I remember that the prophecy I got at the beginning was "seven stars with brilliance", but now the east of Yingzhou is: Yaozu, Dragon Palace, Anyang, Tang Kingdom, Xiao Kingdom, Houxia, and Jin Kingdom.

But this is not completely in line with the prophecy, the prophecy is "Tonghui", although the seven stars do not mean that there are really seven powers, the word "Tonghui" cannot be wrong.

But the current situation is that Anyang is shining brightly, and the surrounding Jin and Qi countries are still relatively strong. There is also a Liu country in the south, and a lingering Cai country in the north; there are many, many countries in the interior. This is very unreasonable!

For a while, I have been puzzled; now that I see this sign, I understand that this prophecy not only refers to the Great Xia Kingdom, but most likely refers to the entire Yingzhou! That makes sense. "

For this kind of prediction, Li Xian now has to believe it. The tone became serious, "That is to say, this may be a chaos sweeping the entire Yingzhou?"

"It's a catastrophe, a catastrophe, a catastrophe in the world!" Ling Zhifeng thought for a while before saying: "The world is like people, there are times when you are awake, and there are times when you are asleep; there are times when you are grumpy, and there are times when you are calm.

In the past thousand years, except for the war between Wei and Zhao, there have been almost no wars on Yingzhou. It can be said that it is quite stable!

But there has been no war for thousands of years, and all kinds of contradictions, hatred, desires, ambitions, wealth accumulation, etc. have reached their limit. Now Yingzhou looks calm, but it is actually a powder keg, which is only a little bit short of a spark to detonate.

And it just so happens that the sun rises in the east, and this Mars comes from the east, from..."

Speaking of this, Ling Zhifeng looked at Li Xian with a strange expression.

Li Xian touched his nose, "It's from Anyang!"

"Hey, I didn't say..." Ling Zhifeng pretended to be stupid.

"Okay, okay, you didn't say it, I said it, okay!" Li Xian was speechless about this guy's tired character, "There is nothing to do with you here, so what should you do?"

"I'll go to the divination again." Ling Zhifeng ran away.

After dusk, the auction at Beidou Mountain started, needless to say it was lively.

Moreover, Fang Shijing, who presided over the auction, adopted Li Xian's simple method. All the auction items were not arranged in the order of auction, and lots were drawn on the spot. But don't look at it as a joke, this kind of auction method has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm; it's just that many people secretly cursed Fang Shijing-this bad idea is too bad to be beaten!

This way of drawing lots is full of excitement and challenges; of course, it is also more "money-absorbing". The first item to be auctioned turned out to be the "Heart of the White Tiger".

The monster race is completely different from the human race. Most of the skills of the human race are to practice Yuanying, but the monster race is different. Generally speaking, the monster race only practices the demon pill and will always be the demon pill.

But there are also some monster clans who have inherited the long-standing bloodline of divine beasts in their cultivation bloodlines. And the core of cultivating blood is not the demon pill, and of course it won't be the dantian, but the heart! This white tiger heart is the heart of a white tiger, at the Nascent Soul level.

There are not many such treasures, even in the Yaozu. The Wuya Mountain Monster Clan also spent their money. With such a treasure to lead the battle, the Wuya Mountain Monster Clan quickly gained a foothold in Anyang. The human race was attracted by the monster clan's treasure and temporarily forgot the hatred between the two sides.

"The heart of the white tiger is an important treasure for refining the second nascent soul, refining the clone, refining the dead puppet, and even the law of perception! The starting price is 8 million taels of gold, and each increase should not be less than 10,000 taels !"

The heart of the white tiger is a life-saving treasure, and the more the better, the gold is just a thing outside the body in comparison. Therefore, there are many people bidding, and the price has exploded! In a few breaths, it broke through 20 million taels of gold; in the end, it was obtained by the Ji Dao Sect who suddenly came out, and the transaction price was 27 million taels!

Anyang gets one-tenth of the tax, which is 2.7 million taels. The rest belonged to the Wuya Mountain Monster Clan.

In an instant, 24.3 million taels of gold were credited, and the Wuya Mountain Yaozu became a wealthy man. Once you have money, you will naturally be able to bid for other treasures. This is a snowball effect.

However, this is also a snowball effect on Anyang's tax revenue. As long as the money circulates once, Anyang will scrape a layer of land. This is the horror of taxation, and of course the horror of state power.

A lot later, it turned out to be... 10,000 rifles and 1.5 million bullets. Li Xian did not auction the guns and bullets separately, because that would be too hateful. Since it's an arms deal, it's better - soldiers don't have a good temper.

But there is another important reason, such a packaged transaction, in the arms transaction, it is easier to raise the price, because there is no scruple.

On-site test firing of three rifles, each with ten bullets for demonstration, immediately made many people envious. Even many sect representatives are jealous. Anyang's rifle attack, at close range, almost reached the full attack of the primary foundation building stage and the flying sword, and it was continuous and did not consume true energy!

The scene is full of people with clear eyes, and there is no need for any explanation.

The starting price was 100,000 taels of gold, which was a real price; but soon the price rose to 300,000 taels of gold. In the past, Anyang's arms transactions were paid in advance, and Anyang delivered within one month after payment; but now, it is an on-site transaction, with one payment and one delivery—this time is valuable, and many things can be done in one month!

In the end, Jin State swallowed the first batch of arms, and the transaction price was 320,000 taels of gold. The 320,000 taels of gold all flowed into Anyang's pocket.

Afterwards, all kinds of treasures, arms, etc. appeared in a cross, and became popular one after another. Anyang scraped down the gold layer by layer through taxation.

…………

When the auction was in full swing, Li Xian was having a meeting with Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Yan Ze'an, Yuan Yong, Beichen Yuqing, Ling Zhifeng and many other Anyang high-level officials in Anyang City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Zhifeng finished his observation first, and everyone discussed solemnly.

Xu Ren didn't wave his fan anymore, "In my opinion, it's just what the young master said, the world is divided for a long time, it must be united for a long time, and the divided Yingzhou may need to go through a unification war.

This is a natural disaster, so there will be signs in heaven and earth.

But this is even more a man-made disaster, and it is a lack of people's hearts. The so-called heaven and earth have all things, and man himself is a part of heaven and earth; therefore, huge man-made disasters will also affect the operation of heaven and earth.

We have to speed up the development, and there will not be too much time left for us.

According to speculation, the collapse of Cai State completely caused the collapse of the political situation in the east of Yingzhou. With the attack of Qi State on Houxia, and the invasion of Cai State’s hometown by Deng State, Zheng State, and Chen State, a war in the eastern part of Yingzhou , about to explode. And once a war breaks out in the east of Yingzhou, the impact will snowball; it is almost inevitable that the entire Yingzhou will be involved in the war! "

Li Xian nodded.

Yan Ze'an added, "Master, please pay attention, since ancient times, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been a set of inseparable words.

If there are natural disasters, there will be human disasters; if there are human disasters, there will be natural disasters. Regardless of the order, they are bound to appear at the same time. Therefore, the young master should prepare well, just in case.

Generally speaking, the most natural disasters are floods and droughts; if they are small-scale floods and droughts, of course there is no problem, Yingzhou is so big, there will be no shortage of food; even small-scale floods and droughts can be solved by a few Nascent Soul experts.

But what about floods and droughts throughout Yingzhou? At that time, the whole Yingzhou will not have enough food, and the consequences..."

Everyone shuddered with a word. If floods and droughts occur in the entire Yingzhou, even if all the Nascent Soul and Transformation Stages are outnumbered, it will not help; then the entire Yingzhou must be flooded, and hundreds of millions of victims will flow. cold.

If Yingzhou is so big, is it possible that the whole Yingzhou will be flooded at the same time? The answer is - there are a lot of such records! Sometimes such a natural disaster will happen for thousands or even hundreds of years, and sometimes it will not happen for 10,000 to 20,000 years. But no matter what, this kind of thing is bound to happen!

It is said that Yingzhou is big, but the Immortal Territory is bigger; if viewed in the context of the entire Immortal Territory, Yingzhou is just a small island; it is nothing if a small island has a full range of flood disasters, it is too normal.

At this time, Ge Zhengfeng who was next to him said, "Young master, do you still remember the scene of disaster victims in the Great Xia Kingdom four or five years ago? It was a relatively large-scale drought. According to my observations, in recent years, the eastern part of Yingzhou The rain falls every year. The food production decreases every year."

"Eh...why didn't I feel it?" Li Xian was a little embarrassed.

Li Yuanming smiled, "Master, our Anyang is naturally in good weather, because Anyang's luck has been prosperous these years, which to some extent has diluted the ominous omen. Besides, 30% of Anyang's food now comes from the sea, and a little drought has little impact on Anyang. .”

"Yes!" Yan Ze'an continued, "Anyang has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, which has also led to the prosperity of luck; moreover, the young master devotes almost all his attention and energy to the development of industry and commerce, and pays little attention to agriculture.

But the young master now needs to focus on agriculture. In fact, there has been no rain in Nanyang County since the beginning of this year, and spring planting has been delayed.

Today, the mercenary group's plan to annex Nanyang County has been blocked, and a large part of this is also the reason! The drought made the mercenary groups not want to take risks. "

Li Xian put away his embarrassment, and thought carefully for a long time, "If this catastrophe is a drought, then it can be solved in this way.

First, build dams to intercept all rivers and form huge lakes to store water. But these are all big projects. I am afraid that a dam will cost a million taels of gold.

Second, in some places where there are no rivers, deep wells are dug to draw groundwater. This is a method of drinking poison to quench thirst, but there is no problem in persisting for three to five years. If an area was rich in water sources in the past, the groundwater may even last for thirty to fifty years.

But as the saying goes, a long drought must be followed by a severe flood. If this natural disaster is a flood disaster, then there are two ways.

First, build a dam, so that after the flood comes, the dam can be used to stop the flood and then release the flood slowly.

Second, build the residence on a high place. It just so happened that Beidou City was being planned, so it was built as high as possible.

Third, the most important thing is food. Open up farmland around hills etc. just in case. But we must pay attention to maintaining greening, and don't turn the green hills into wasteland.

Comprehensive consideration, dams need to be built, and a dam is built every certain distance on a river.

In the future, the city of Anyang will be divided into two parts, one part will be built on flat land according to tradition, and the other part will be built on high ground. But the city needs to have enough vacancies, etc., and the key is to accommodate enough victims to transfer. Preferably, a city is divided into two parts, one with high terrain and one with low terrain.

Also, the most important thing is to expand the land as much as possible, whether it is acquisition, extortion, or war, as long as there is a reason to occupy it, expand it as much as possible.

If God's will destined the seven stars to shine together, it means that if they can't shine together, they will be eliminated.

That being the case, Anyang will be one of the seven stars! "

Yuan Yong finally spoke, "It just so happens that this auction can bring Anyang hundreds of millions of gold, which can be used to build dams and new cities.

In addition, since it is a catastrophe, we also need to expand our army.

And as Anyang continues to open up new strongholds, more soldiers are needed.

Also, if it is a catastrophe, then I think Anyang should not take the initiative to attack. "

When Yuan Yong spoke, he flattered first, then offered supplementary and practical opinions, and finally took a sharp turn, negating Li Xian's previous decision. It must be said that such opinions are very comfortable to listen to.

Li Xian was very comfortable being smoothed by this hand, and asked naturally: "What's the opinion of Deputy Prime Minister Yuan?"

Because of the relationship between Li Xian and Yuan Zhao, it is a bit inappropriate to directly call Yuan Yong's name; but Li Xian is the king after all, so he can only be called "Vice Prime Minister Yuan".
