Chapter 1193 Donghuang Temporary Port Area
Located in the easternmost part of the vast territory of the Natlan Empire, Linhai County has been synonymous with the empire's wealth throughout its long history.
The never-drying tributaries of the Duanzhou River nourish this land, irrigating thousands of acres of fertile fields, and making Linhai County known as the most spiritual and most suitable area for cultivation.
Once upon a time, in order to collect the people's fat, Qin Guiming, the king of Dongzhou, used means to force the Dongzhou sect to set up checkpoints for foreign Natlan people who intended to enter Linhai County and collect high taxes.
This made the casual cultivators and mortal merchants and escort agencies miserable.
Especially after the Immortal Death War, natural disasters and evil cultivators were rampant in Dongzhou, and only Linhai County had the protection of the resident navy and the officers and soldiers of the state king's mansion.
This made Dongzhou people jokingly call their compatriots who had lived in Linhai County for generations "Linhai Ye" for a long time.
Of course, all of the above situations have completely disappeared since the capture of the Dongzhou State King's Mansion.
Under the strong implementation of the new policy of Xinghuo, the entrance checkpoints to Linhai County were abolished, all cities were open to the outside world, and merchants and escort teams on the official roads were endless.
Not only did Linhai County become more prosperous than before, many merchants also smelled business opportunities and sold Linhai County's specialties and advanced industrial products that were resumed to other counties in Dongzhou.
The Xinghuo column and officers and soldiers eliminated evil cultivators day after day, bringing unprecedented peace to Dongzhou since the fall of the evil king.
Many Natlan pedantic people who believed that the Xinghuo regime's strong destruction of the state king's palace, beheading the state king in public, and abolishing the state king system would inevitably cause chaos in Dongzhou realized that they were very wrong.
The Xinghuo regime was not immature and only relied on a passionate riot.
After the state king was beheaded, the Xinghuo regime proposed new policies for localized reforms in all counties and counties in Dongzhou.
Countless fields were redistributed, and countless resources were recycled to official allocation.
It's not that there are no landlords and officials who want to disobey the Xinghuo regime because their interests are violated.
But the state kings who are protected by several Yuanying masters and powerful navy have been killed. How dare they say "no" to the members of the Xinghuo column who come to their door?
Moreover, the Xinghuo regime only reclaims their assets and confiscates them, deprives them of their privileges, and does not want their lives.
As long as they are alive and have a skill, they can rely on honest work and labor for the Xinghuo regime and live a stable and prosperous life.
As for those Dongzhou sects, the officials of the Xinghuo regime have also established Xinghuo offices in the sects after consulting with the ancestors of these sects.
The members of the Xinghuo office are all inner disciples or sect heirs who have received Xinghuo education.
These young monks all have the concept of serving the people and blessing the dawn.
Young monks who are extremely loyal to the sect can become the direct force of the Xinghuo regime that rules Dongzhou. In the eyes of those old and experienced ancestors, it is also a good thing for the development of the sect.
The life tax and the war between the sects were strictly abolished, so that the sect wanted to obtain more resources. In peacetime, it naturally had to focus on taking care of the lives of ordinary people within the sect and serving the new regime.
Because of this, in less than a month, all the Natlan people in Dongzhou almost forgot the state king and became firm supporters of the Xinghuo regime that brought them peace and justice.
And will Zhongzhou Imperial City and Yantiansi send troops to wipe out the Xinghuo regime?
This question will not be considered by Dongzhou people who have seen how the state king's palace was destroyed.
Even the Yuanying great power was blasted into slag by a thunderbolt. How could the imperial city be the opponent of the Xinghuo regime?
Moreover, since they have seen the light, how can they be willing to welcome a new state king?
However, all the high-ranking officials of Dongzhou counties and the ancestors of the sects did not know why every policy they received was signed by "Donghuang--Lin Lan" at the end.
They all knew what Donghuang was, but who exactly was "Lin Lan"? All the Natlan people in Dongzhou were confused.
So much so that they strictly warned their disciples and officials not to provoke anyone who called himself "Lin Lan".
…
Outside Linhai City, on the coast separated by orchards and hills, there was a beautiful building garden with an antique style, like a paradise.
This building garden covers an incredibly large area, and the exquisitely laid out landscape and the vegetation trimmed like works of art are even more refreshing than the luxurious Dongzhou State Palace.
On the seashore, the modern port with cranes, forklifts and mass-produced warships parked, as well as the flying dragon flags everywhere, explained who the owner of this garden was -
Donghuang warship girls.
It was still early in the morning.
The sun has not yet risen from the sea level, and the deep blue skyline is only a fish belly white.
In the quiet and peaceful Donghuang temporary port area, some people have already got up early and are busy.
A petite girl with long blue hair that reaches her waist and a short stature, carrying all kinds of fresh vegetables just picked from the vegetable garden, walked towards the kitchen in black cloth shoes on the clean tiled road.
The girl with fair skin, short horns on both sides of her head, and a long white tail swaying left and right, wearing a blue and white off-shoulder loose short skirt, was still muttering something.
"I have loofah, I have peppers... I can grind tofu in the morning.
"There are also meat dishes. Should I go to the pond to catch fish today, or take out the monster meat I bought before to melt it?"
Just as the little dragon girl lowered her head and talked to herself, suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded from behind her:
"Longwu, you are always so worried about the kitchen."
That's right, this little Donghuang dragon lady carrying a basket of vegetables is the V-25 export destroyer, Longwu.
Hearing the familiar voice of his companion behind him, Longwu seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts, stopped and turned around to look.
Beside the bamboo forest, a tall woman wearing a one-piece black silk coat and a dark green long gown, holding a folding fan, was looking at her with a smile and walking towards her.
The beautiful face of this tall black-haired woman was covered by a dark golden mask around her pupils, like a hermit master who comprehended all things.
But even so, the mask could not cover up the elegance and gentle temperament exuded by the woman's every move.
The battlecruiser planned by the Navy in 1913, Huanchang.
"It's Huanchang, did you stay here all night to tell fortunes last night?"
Longwu looked at Huanchang who walked slowly in front of him, sighed helplessly, and said with a caring and distressed look.
The girl was not surprised by the appearance of the fortune teller. It was obvious that the two had met by chance in the early morning more than once or twice.
"Hehehe~ There is no need to tell me to take care of my rest. For me, fortune telling is no different from sleep and rest."
However, Huanchang seemed to have guessed what the girl who loved to worry about her companions was going to say next, and smiled and blocked Long Wu's mouth.
Just noticing that Long Wu still had a bit of fatigue on his face, Huanchang asked curiously:
"When I left the dormitory last night, I seemed to hear Feiyun crying. Did she get into trouble again?"
"Feiyun is so bold now!"
When Longwu heard Huanchang mention the naughty child, he was about to yawn and suddenly became energetic. He complained to Huanchang:
"I thought that after leaving Fushun, Feiyun would be quieter without her prank partner, and I didn't pay much attention to her during this period.
"But who would have thought that she wanted to secretly call Huben to run away from home and go to Nanzhou to find the commander yesterday!
"If Anshan hadn't found something wrong with the amount of ammunition and oil during the inventory at noon, and if Changchun hadn't revealed their route, they would have really escaped!"
