Chapter 373: Trial
Xie Fusheng quickly fell in love with life on the island, and he entered the role faster than Zhou Wei. Ding Yi demanded that all those who knew the identities of Xie Fusheng and Zhou Wei on the island were strictly forbidden to reveal their identities, and even renamed them again: Wang Guan, Zhou Xin.
Xie Fusheng and Zhou Wei were also forced to become Ding Yi's disciples, and followed Ding Yi every day to study, work, and practice together.
The days on the island were quiet and peaceful, but the Fulong Kingdom was in chaos, and the cultivators who suddenly appeared not only injured Qiao Hu and took away Qiao Hu's Void Breaking Knife, but also kidnapped the emperor's grandson, as well as Zhou Wei, the son of the Minister of Commerce Zhou Xianyao.
However, the identity of the kidnappers is still a mystery.
Several people who have been in contact with the kidnappers have different accounts.
In Zou Ming and Zhou Xianyao's descriptions, the kidnapper was a middle-aged man of the Xuan level and a young monk of the spiritual level. They swore that they had seen the middle-aged man's magical powers.
"Your Majesty, maybe my strength and level are much better than Qiao Hu, my feeling will not be wrong, that monk who claims to be Mr. Jing is unfathomable in cultivation, in fact, I have fought with him once in private. I released the Golden Spirit Flying Needle to him once, but he didn't move, and the Golden Spirit Flying Needle couldn't get close to him at all, so it was vaporized......" Zhou Xianyao said vividly, with a nose and eyes.
Zou Ming said: "That young man claimed to be a supreme genius with gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the qualifications of the five elements, and the level of refining weapons and alchemy was extremely high. The middle-aged man should be the young man's entourage, and he personally admitted that he was a Xuan-level cultivator......"
Dazai of Fulong Kingdom said: "Your Majesty, Zou Ming, Zhou Xianyao, and Qiao Hu, as well as Zhao Quan, the commander of the guards guarding the West Gate, are people who have crossed paths with those two cultivators. According to their descriptions, as well as Guo Jingzhong's dedication to the examination of Wang Qing's body. It can be determined that these two people suddenly have super strength, and the middle-aged man's spiritual power is substantialized, and there is no doubt that he is a Xuan-level monk, and the young man is proficient in refining weapons and alchemy, and at the same time, he will also have a long-lost corpse gate stunt, and at the same time, he is also a beast trainer......"
"If the subordinates judge correctly, this is actually a creation of Zhou Wei, the son of the emperor's grandson and brother Xianyao. If those two really want to be bad for the kingdom, really, the subordinates don't think we can deal with them. I still trust Zou Ming's judgment, they kidnapped the two most talented teenagers in our Fulong Country, just because of their qualifications and talents......"
Qiao Hu said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare to agree, if they fall in love with the natural qualifications of the emperor's grandson and Zhou Wei, they can go directly to Your Majesty and take them away." Why did they go to Wechen's house, injure Wechen, snatch Wechen's broken knife, and even slander Wechen for rebellion...... Besides, if they were just kind-hearted, why did they kill Wang Qing and refine him into a corpse puppet? Obviously, there was a shocking conspiracy in this. ”
Zhou Xianyao said: "Your Majesty, Wang Qing Gonggong is loyal to his duties, when Wang Gonggong was martyred, Weichen was on the side, alas! Wang Gonggong is too loyal to his duties, at that time, Mr. Na Jing said that the imperial grandson is highly qualified, and he is an unworldly genius, and he wants to cultivate him well, but it is Wang Gonggong's blind obstruction, which annoys Mr. Na Jing, otherwise this tragedy would not have occurred......" Speaking of this, Zhou Xianyao also squeezed out two tears, pretending to be serious.
"Xiaoer Zhou Wei saw that he was unstoppable, and it was also Weichen who taught him since he was a child, as a courtier, he should be loyal to His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and the child was worried about His Highness's safety, so he took the initiative to ask for Ying and implored Mr. Jing to take him in, so that he could serve by His Royal Highness's side......"
Zou Ming was greatly admired, this week, Xianyao's lies came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he said it vividly. If I hadn't been involved in the whole process at the time, I might have believed his nonsense.
Zhou Xianyao continued: "Actually, Qiao Hu was involved because of another matter. The Broken Void Knife, Wei Chen believes, there must be a big secret hidden in it, but although Qiao Hu has always carried the Broken Void Knife with him, he has never realized the secret of the knife. As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Alas, it's all providence!"
The king of the Fulong Kingdom, Xie Jinhe sighed: "Dazai and Zhou Aiqing have analyzed well, overseas masters, their strength is unfathomable, and this time they are resurrected, maybe it is also his chance, but it's a pity for Wang Qing, I think this sea fishing document will be withdrawn, what do you think, general?"
The general of Fulong Country hurriedly said: "The ministers and commanders of the three armies, patrolling everywhere, even at sea, have sent people to search around, so far, there are no clues, and the ministers are also in favor of His Majesty's handling, this overseas master, it is better to be cautious." ”
Qiao Hu said: "Your Majesty, if the people from overseas are evildoers, what should they do? If they appreciate His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, they can come directly to the palace and make a request to His Majesty the King. They dare to be so unscrupulous in Fulong City, Weichen thinks that there must be a conspiracy here, and the minister is worried that these two people will be unfavorable to the royal family and Fulong Kingdom. ”
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and there were people on both sides to respond. Xie Jinhe secretly thought, if he wasn't worried that the other party's strength was stronger than him, he would not have believed Zhou Xianyao and Zou Ming's nonsense. It's just that now the other party is in the shadows, and his strength is extraordinary. It is no good to carry it hard, so he has to take such a posture, in fact, in his heart, he hates the two cultivators who kidnapped the emperor and grandson.
But this was the reality, and he had no other way than to selectively believe that these two overseas monks did not covet his throne.
There are actually many doubts about this matter, but there is no point in pursuing it. Xie Jinhe can't do anything about making this situation. The world of a cultivator has always been based on strength, and he can only hide this thought deep in his heart.
Xie Fusheng didn't know about his imperial grandfather, and his hair was about to turn gray for his sake. When he came to Pigpen Island, he was like a fish in water, and he was so uncomfortable.
Ding Yi's subordinates are all low-level feather-level cultivators, and the strength of Xie Fusheng and Zhou Wei is still in front. They are only one or two years older than Ding Yi, and compared to other junior brothers, they have greater potential.
Pigpen Island, now has two clippers, the Ichthyosaurus and the Vespa. The third Mirage is also nearing completion. The work of a cultivator is no better than that of mortals, to build a medium-sized ship, mortals need at least ** months, and counting the time of dry wood, the construction period of a medium-sized ship is generally more than one year. And there must be all kinds of master craftsmen and master craftsmen...... The total number of persons shall not be less than 200.
The construction of the Mirage has only taken about 20 days, and it has already taken shape.
After all, it was five cultivators with vast magical powers who built this Mirage. Of course, there are also two general-purpose golems, which have contributed a lot to the entire production process.
Although Ding Yi claimed that he was a poisonous spirit, but he showed no less than a dozen qualifications, Yan Jingfeng and they were very surprised, they privately made a lot of speculations about this mysterious master, and they finally agreed that Ding Yi may have practiced some kind of magical spell, which can be converted into any qualification he wants.
Ding Yi is very easy-going, as long as you follow his rules, he generally treats them equally, even if it is a mortal, he is very polite to them.
Like Yan Sanniang, who opened a brothel on the island, she was originally a woman captured by Zhang Bao, and she was originally just the most humble existence on the island. After Ding Yi took over Pigpen Island, strict militarized management was implemented here, and Yan Sanniang and these weak women were temporarily incorporated into the logistics group to wash and cook for everyone on the island.
Yan Sanniang regained her freedom and respect from a weak woman at the mercy of others, and they were very grateful to Ding Yi. However, the frogs and their guys who can't control the lower half of their bodies will inevitably be tempted by them and move their hands and feet. Yan Sanniang for safety reasons, she ran to find Ding Yi.
She was just a lowly mortal, originally, she thought that Ding Yi would ignore her, she just had the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Ding Yi attached great importance to her reaction. This Pigpen Island is originally yang and yin, and yin and yang are out of balance. Ding Yi separated Yan Sanniang and them independently and arranged them into the logistics group, and he hadn't thought about this aspect yet.
He made adjustments, he persuaded Yan Sanniang to establish the Red Mansion on Pigpen Island, and organize those girls as well......
Although Yan Sanniang is still engaged in the leather and meat business until now, Ding Yi has formulated a strict system that does not allow pirates to force them, and at the same time gives them higher treatment, so that they can at least gain some respect.
Ding Yi didn't want to reveal his identity, he strictly set the rules on the island, except for the sailors who ran the boat, everyone else on the island was generally not allowed to leave the island. Even for the pirates transporting timber, Ding Yi also adopted the method of connecting with environmental protection armor, strictly prohibiting them from going ashore without permission.
In fact, he still feels guilty about Yan Sanniang and other weak women. persuaded Yan Sanniang to stay on the island and resume his old business, but he actually still had a certain sense of guilt. He knows that there is no absolute equality and freedom in this world, and he can only try to be as fair as possible.
Zou Ming finally lived up to expectations, and in the big competition at the end of the year of Fulong Kingdom, he won the position of Xinglong Province and governor, and Su Chen finally became the mayor of Xinghua.
After more than a month of layout, it is finally time to harvest. Ding Yi took all the disciples to Xinghua. In Xinghua, Ding Yi and the others met Zou Ming again.
"Wu Shao, this time he finally lived up to his mission and won Xinglong Province. Zou Ming was unusually polite to Ding Yi, and his posture was very low.
Ding Yi said: "The last time I was in Fulong City, I haven't seen your children yet, and I don't know if they have qualifications and talents, if you can, next time you go to Fulong City, I'll help you take a look." ”
Zou Ming had already regarded Ding Yi as a god-like existence, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Ding Yi.
After asking about the situation in Fulong City, Ding Yi learned that Xie Jinhe was very knowledgeable, so he nodded and didn't say anything more.
This time when he came to Xinghua, Ding Yi called all his disciples over, and Zou Ming naturally also met the emperor's grandson Xie Fusheng, as well as Zhou Xianyao's son Zhou Wei.
"My name is Wang Zhou, Senior Brother Zhou's name is Zhou Xin, and after Governor Zou, don't call me the wrong one again. Xie Fusheng looked at Zou Ming, who saluted him, and whispered.
Zou Ming hurriedly said: "What Brother Wang taught me is that Minister Zhou wants to ask me about your situation, and I will reply to him." ”
Zhou Wei frowned slightly, thinking about how to answer.
Xie Fusheng had already rushed to say: "We have now worshiped Wu Shao as a teacher, and we have made great progress in cultivation, and we are also happy overseas, you can rest assured that Minister Zhou." Isn't it Senior Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Wei was helpless, so he only nodded.
After Zou Ming left, Ding Yi gathered all the disciples for a meeting, and at the same time, Zhang Bao, who came in a hurry, and Su Chen, the mayor of Xinghua City, participated in the meeting.
"Fubon Copper Mine, it is of great significance to us, this mine must be firmly in our hands, I take everyone to cultivate the truth, not let you do that, only know that you are immersed in penance, ignorant of the world's blindness, only strength, no vision, no pattern, that is not my disciple." ”
"Jing Feng, you are a senior brother, you first say, how to use our existing resources and territory to operate, so that we can get more cultivation resources. Ding Yikao taught him.
Yan Jingfeng gave Ding Yi a slight salute, and said: "Master Wu, we have the two cities of Xingyuan and Xinghua in our hands, and we also have Pigpen Island, before Wu Shi built a dock on the island, and at the same time renovated and built the Vespa, the Ichthyosaurus, and the Mirage, I think Wu Shi's intention is nothing more than to carry out offshore trade......
Ding Yi nodded noncommittally, and turned his head to Shi Kai again.
Shi Kai said: "If it were me, I would directly transport the ore to Pigpen Island, refine the copper, and mint coins directly on the island, which is much more cost-effective than ocean trade." ”
Zhang Chi said: "If it were me, I would improve the production tools, optimize the various processes of mining, and increase the output of copper mines. ”
Xie Fusheng said: "If I take the lead, I will spread the word that gold has been found here, so that more miners can be attracted, and at the same time, spread rumors that the Buddha was born in Fulong Country...... You must know that the amount of copper spent to cast a Buddha statue is not a small amount, which is much more cost-effective than minting coins, and it will also raise the price of copper......"
Ding Yi finally looked at Zhou Wei.
"The ideas of several senior brothers are very good, just combine the ideas of several senior brothers. Zhou Wei said.
Xie Fusheng knocked Zhou Wei on the head.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you can't be cheating, you have to come up with a plan. ”
Zhou Wei said: "If I am in charge, I will raise the wages of the miners and improve their treatment, you must know that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, this person is the heart of the heart, to get it, must give it up first." ”
Ding Yi concluded: "It seems that you have all begun to learn how to think about problems, these methods are good, we might as well verify them one by one." If you want to be good, you must first sharpen your tools, greatly increase the output, improve the efficiency of mining, improve the use of various machinery and equipment, and at the same time make reasonable process adjustments, and establish the necessary reward and punishment mechanism......"
Ding Yi took out a map he had drawn himself from the storage bracelet, which was the entire topographic map of the Fubon mining area. Ding Yi made marks in some places, and his map was a little different from the current situation in the mining area, because Ding Yi moved the same set he had made in Jiyun City again.
There are all kinds of buildings, as well as various plans, and Ding Yi gave a detailed description to the disciples one by one.
"Guys, this is your new cultivation ground, and this is the first trial I have given you. According to the signs on this drawing, you have to complete them one by one. Ding Yi said.
He took out another copy of "Organ Technique" and a copy of "Formation Encyclopedia" and handed it to Yan Jingfeng. At the same time, Ding Yi also took out a drawing of a puppet machine.
"This is the manufacturing blueprint of the unicorn fairy puppet, and the task of the few of you is to make it in the shortest time possible. From today onwards, you will stay on the Fubon Mine, when it will be completed and when it will leave. Ding Yi commanded.
Ding Yi has never identified himself as a puppeteer, although he has made a lot of mechanical equipment on Pigpen Island. When he is producing, he does not avoid everyone, and even sometimes, he guides them in production.
The disciples didn't expect that Ding Yi would lead them to the puppet path.
