Chapter 334
The punishment for expelling disciples may not seem serious, and it is more convenient for the player group to switch to other sects, but it is different for ordinary people.
The three professional skills of Qingyuan Taoist priests all have miraculous effects.
Among them, Qingling reduces the consumption of spiritual energy of Taoist skills and increases the power of Taoist skills.
Daoyun reduces the experience points required for upgrading Taoist skills.
Without these two special skills, ordinary people will have to consume more spiritual energy to stimulate the Taoist methods with weakened power, and the difficulty of practicing Taoism will also increase.
The same is true for Xuanmen skills. After losing the convenience of transmission, it will be difficult to transfer quickly and exchange information.
In this way, the significance of practicing Qingyuan Taoism is bound to be greatly reduced.
Zhou Yuan knew the reason, and Li Si also understood the pros and cons.
For this reason, he specifically explained the effects of the three magic skills of Qingyuan to Emperor Wei, so that he understood that passing on the law through expelling is not very meaningful for those who lack comprehension.
"So that's how it is. I wanted to let a group of young talents get on the right path in advance, without the trouble of martial arts identification and Taoist selection.
Now it seems that I was wrong. Without the accumulation of bloody battles and the dedication to seeking the Tao, how can they get on the right path in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty is right. The teaching can only allow them to get started in Taoism. If they don't have a heart for Taoism and a mind for Taoism, they will stop here.
Not to mention other things, if they can't understand the Qingyuan Taoism, how can they practice the skills."
Zhou Yuan's way of learning the skills is different from that of ordinary people. Putting him aside, ordinary people always have to understand the original meaning of Taoism before they can practice like a horse searching for a map.
Therefore, the disciples who join the branch still need the facilities in the lecture hall and the interpretation hall to assist and guide.
Even so, his ability to teach is extremely precious. Getting started first and then learning Taoism is always better than being helpless and seeking hard.
After understanding the effects of teaching and retreating, no one in the hall said that retreating can quickly teach.
They knew that this would not produce a group of Taoists who are proficient in Taoism, but only a group of Taoists who are neither good nor bad.
"What the general said is that it is the same to seek Taoism and practice martial arts. If you don't lay a solid foundation, you can't become a talent.
The first batch of Taoists should be selected from Qingyuan Temple. Don't choose too many, just try to select 20 first."
"Mr. Li, you will be in charge of this matter. Select ten Taoists who are determined to seek Taoism and ten calm and intelligent Taoist children.
It is not required that they are almost the same as those who entered Taoism on their own, but at least they should have a tendency to catch up.
The most important thing is that if the ten Taoist children can save a few years of time in Taoism, they may have something to do."
In fact, the Emperor of Wei does not value those adult Taoists, but values young Taoist children more.
If this method is feasible, it will definitely cultivate a group of young and promising Taoist disciples.
After Li Si received the order, he mentioned the matter of reward.
"General Zhou, you should not take risks while inheriting a lineage. It is not good for us to be promoted to a military position quickly without military merit.
I suggest that you be promoted from a civil official to a junior official, and assist the junior official in handling affairs. You should be given a silver seal and a blue ribbon to supervise the taxes on mountains, rivers, and lakes."
"In addition, the position of the head of the branch will help the inheritance of the dynasty. Just giving a position is not enough to make you noble.
You should be given a higher title to show that the dynasty is righteous. You should be promoted from Zhuxiang County Master to Zhuxiang County Earl, with a fief of 2,000 households, and a higher spiritual salary."
The Emperor of Wei was sincere enough. At Zhou Yuan's age, he would have a lot of pressure to confer a title, not to mention that he was given a powerful position like the junior official.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yuan will be able to take over the power of the Nine Officials and the junior official as soon as the current junior official retires, and then sort out the spiritual taxes in the secret realms of the world.
But the Emperor of Wei will soon have a headache. He promised a little too early and did not consider how to reward Zhou Yuan if he had greater merits.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I have one more thing to report.
After I got the position of the head, I teleported to Gaiyuan County to check it out. I found that it was a ruined city facing the sea. Looking north, I saw land.
After asking the gods in the city, I learned that the local area is called Wuyou County and is the territory of the people in the secret realm."
"I used the wind control technique to take off into the air, and then used the wide-eye technique to look down, and I saw a place with three islands and hundreds of reefs connected.
Among them, the island where Wuyou County is located is very large, with various city buildings entrenched, and it must be an overseas island country."
Zhou Yuan's words made the Emperor of Wei happy. Overseas island countries are not harassed by various countries. They are simply places for refuge and survival.
According to Zhou Yuan, the area of the three islands must be large, and there must be many secret realms hidden.
In this way, the value of Gaiyuan City and the three islands will be immeasurable, and perhaps they can be included in the jurisdiction to increase the strength of the Great Wei.
However, the three islands also hide dangers. The Wuyou County is probably an out-of-control boundless secret realm, and no one knows what it will expand into.
"General Zhou, your good fortune is really amazing.
I know what the general means. The island country is definitely not as strong as our Great Wei.
We should use the convenience of the Qingyuan Branch to dispatch soldiers to spy on intelligence and wait for an opportunity to expand the territory."
"If our Great Wei successfully reclaims Danzhou in the Western Expedition and then develops the three islands, the national strength will surely increase greatly.
In this case, the previous rewards will be insignificant. I will give the general the title of General Anyuan and command all affairs of the three islands."
"The title reward should be the title of Marquis, and the general's hometown Jing'an will be temporarily set as the honorific title.
The actual title will be discussed after the investigation of the three islands, otherwise it will be difficult to name the young marquis without a war."
The Emperor of Wei was overjoyed and had a headache. At this moment, he also felt Li Si's helplessness.
Zhou Yuan's fortune was too prosperous. Even if he tried his best to reward him, it was still difficult to keep up with his speed of achievement.
This made him determined to send Zhou Yuan over to supervise the area as soon as the three islands were pacified.
This would not only protect his safety, but also prevent him from participating in other wars to accumulate merits.
As for what Zhou Yuan thinks, it is not a problem. He has already entered the Qingyuan Taoist sect. If he does not practice Taoism for a few years, wouldn’t it be a waste of such an opportunity?
Zhou Yuan is quite satisfied with the arrangement of the Emperor Wei. The matter of conferring a title must be done step by step.
It’s just that it will trouble the Construction Department of Jing’an County. The Viscount’s Mansion will be demolished and rebuilt as soon as it is built.
When the Earl’s Mansion is built again, it may be changed to a Marquis’ Mansion before it is completed. These matters can simply take them several years to settle down in Qiaoxi Village.
The advantage is that the surrounding villagers will get a stable job. Now they can earn a lot of wages by learning to be a bricklayer and carpenter.
The villagers of Qiaoxi Village can also be promoted to county residents. Not only will their treatment be improved, but the Marquis’ Mansion as a political center will absorb surrounding economic activities and make the place rich.
At that time, the impression of the people in Qiaoxi and Qiaodong villages on him will gradually become blurred, and it is very likely that they will give him some legends due to the huge difference in status.
Things like being able to speak at birth, subduing a tiger at the age of three, being protected by the glow of the clouds, deterring evil spirits, being pregnant with stars, and Wu Qu coming to the mortal world, etc., will all become his biography and be included in the county annals.
Eventually, it will lead to the saying that he is born extraordinary and has a very noble fate.
This is not because the villagers are good at making up lies, but because they think they are human beings, and in order to distinguish themselves, they need to deify those who are difficult to look up to.
"General Zhou, what are your plans for the three islands?"
"I have some old friends, let them go to the island together to make contributions."
