Chapter 75: Planning for the sect is planning for the Ming Dynasty!
After moving his eyes away from Hai Rui, Jiajing's gaze turned to the southeast coast and the north, but there was no trouble there.
Hu Zongxian, as the governor of Zhejiang in the southeast region and a powerful figure in Yan Song's faction, was fully responsible for the restoration of military farms and organized some military households to resume farming.
Although a lot of illegally acquired land was confiscated this time, it is not enough when it comes to the entire Zhejiang region.
These "nodes" of interests of the Xu Jie family that were destroyed were intentionally arranged by Hu Zongxian as pilot projects.
Hu Zongxian was the most capable and practical person under Yan Song, and he also knew that the emperor wanted to restore the Wei Suo system.
Therefore, he did not rashly let the soldiers on the front line participate, but instead arranged the pilot project as far inland as possible.
Those military households that resumed farming were mainly responsible for production to ensure that they did not take too big a step and cause unrest in the southeast.
Not only that, Hu Zongxian even encouraged the military households who were allocated military land to take the lead in participating in converting rice to mulberry.
For a time, the southeast region was extremely lively, but everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. Except for the Japanese pirates who were eyeing the area and often harassing people, the entire southeast was relatively stable.
"Hu Zongxian is a talented person." Jiajing affirmed Hu Zongxian's performance.
Then, the gaze shifted to the border.
The Yan Party and the Qing Liu finally decided to station troops and promote agriculture in Datong Town. This also meant that the battlefields of the Qing Liu and the Yan Party were also set up here.
"The capital of three dynasties, the important city of the Ming Dynasty, the crown of the nine frontiers..." Jiajing cast his eyes on this ancient city, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This is the place where two generations of emperors of my Ming Dynasty set foot!"
"They are good at choosing places..." Thinking of this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze and looked at his natal Ming Dynasty, which was still in ruins and filled with black air. He shook his head slightly and withdrew from his sea of consciousness.
Inside the inheritance pavilion.
After opening his eyes, Jiajing removed the restrictions and formations around him. Not long after, he heard Liu Quan's voice at the stairs.
"Sir, you are finally out!" Footsteps were heard, and Liu Quan, with sparsely trimmed stubble on his chin, walked up.
After seeing Jiajing, there was obvious joy and anxiety on his face.
"The date we agreed with the Yellow Wind Valley is tomorrow," Liu Quan said, striding towards Jiajing who had stood up, "If you don't come out again, I really don't know what to do."
“That old man Huang Feng is sure that if our Daming Xianzong wants to develop, we can’t get around his blockade. He is so proud…” Suddenly, Liu Quan paused, looked Jiajing up and down, shook his head, and said admiringly: “I knew it, he really broke through!”
"Old Liu is still at the fifth level of Qi training. I wonder how he would feel if he knew about this, hehe..."
"Before I went into seclusion, I had already set the time in advance," Jiajing said, taking out a "timekeeping talisman" and rubbing it gently. The talisman turned into golden ash and disappeared. He said, "Tonight at midnight, if I still can't break through, it will remind me..."
In the world of immortal cultivation, the timekeeping talisman is a cheap talisman.
The twelve hours of a day are divided into quarters. Every quarter of an hour, a part of the internal formation will be burned.
Of course, this requires the cultivator to inject spiritual energy into the formation in advance. Only in this way can the formation enter the burning countdown.
When the burning reaches a certain moment, the external formation of the talisman will burst out with a burst of energy. This energy will enter the cultivator's mind and directly tell the cultivator what time it is.
Of course, this kind of talisman is only effective for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. Unless they voluntarily open their minds after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it will not work on great cultivators of this level.
"Sir, you actually gave up cultivation for the benefit of the sect. Liu Quan admires you!" Seeing that Jiajing actually used the "timing talisman" when he was in seclusion to break through, Liu Quan's face was full of respect.
He knew that with Jiajing's speed of practice, breaking through the fifth level of Qi training would not be a problem in one month.
But he was able to interrupt his retreat for the sake of the sect's interests. This kind of decisiveness and courage was indeed not something that ordinary people (here ordinary people do not mean ordinary people) can possess. Liu Quan asked himself, if it were him, he might not have set up a timer talisman during his retreat to break through the realm.
The breakthrough of realm, to put it simply, the Qi Refining Stage is the process of storing spiritual energy in the acupoints and continuously improving through the use of exercises.
In this process, apart from the physical body, there is also communication and transformation in the three aspects of essence, energy and spirit.
As the realm improves, spiritual power will involve all aspects of the body, eventually breaking through the foundation and giving birth to divine consciousness.
Once the breakthrough is interrupted, all the spiritual energy in the acupoints will dissipate at that level. All the previous accumulation will be lost, and you need to practice this level of drawing energy into the body again.
This is also a minimally invasive treatment of the three elements of essence, energy and spirit.
Therefore, if one is practicing in seclusion during the Qi Refining Stage as usual, it is okay to place down a "timekeeping talisman", but if one knows that one may have a breakthrough within a month, most people would not do this.
However, Jiajing seemed not to care at all.
What a broad mind, courage and confidence this is. No wonder I feel a sense of reliance on Mr. Zhu. It is hard not to be convinced by his courage and decisiveness when he does things this way.
"Things have their priorities. A successful negotiation with the Yellow Wind Valley will open up trade routes from Sifang City to the other two cities," Jiajing said, waving his robe lightly, "which will be beneficial to the development of the sect."
"When the sect has enough resources, you and I will both benefit. The tiny realm in front of us is just a small leech."
Breaking through the fifth level of Qi training within a month was a set plan for Jiajing, but it was not a must-do.
For Jiajing, the realm he was pursuing was even higher. For him, even if he couldn't break through to the fifth level of Qi training in one month, he could still break through next month. It was not a pressing matter.
But the negotiations with Huang Fenggu are about interests!
The emperor's actions are all result-oriented. The results are the most important. The losses in the process are not very important things. They are all part of the plan.
Moreover, looking at the increasingly strong admiration in Liu Quan's eyes, Jiajing suddenly smiled in his heart.
The most basic way for an emperor is to control the hearts of his subjects!
From the moment he had the idea of joining the Black Wind Village, he had decided to gain their trust step by step, and then slowly take over the entire village for his own use.
In this process, the support of people's hearts is the most important. He knows that this process will be long, but he is not in a hurry.
Little by little, he will turn the Daming Immortal Sect into a part of the Daming Immortal Dynasty in the world of immortal cultivation.
To consider the sect is to consider the Ming Dynasty!
Only when the Ming Immortal Sect becomes better and stronger, he will be able to gain more benefits from here, and then bring them back to his Ming Dynasty, allowing the Ming Dynasty to thrive and transform into an immortal dynasty.
The journey of cultivating immortals is a long one. It is not about days and hours, but about duration!
Wait until you break through the foundation building, and your natal object will be bound to you. The natal object, yourself, and your natal object will feed back in a cycle.
At that time, Jiajing believed that his cultivation speed would be even faster. The Ming Dynasty at that time was just a ruined mortal dynasty, but it could allow him to break through the Qi training in one month at the age of fifty.
In total, it only took five months for him to break through to the fifth level of Qi training, an average of one level per month.
Once Daming is bound as the natal object, and it feeds back to repair the natal object, and the natal object then feeds back to itself, how fast will it be?
Afterwards, the Ming Dynasty develops into an immortal dynasty. How strong will my breakthrough speed and cultivation level be by then!
Just thinking about it, Jiajing felt his blood boiling. Compared with these, what was this little profit?
As an emperor, what he is best at is giving and getting!
