Jiajing's twenty-nine-year world trust book was sent directly to Zhao Ran by Zhou Zhenren's flying talisman, and Zhou Zhenren didn't say anything, which made Zhao Ran feel worried.

Hurriedly opened the credibility book, and the total credibility value jumped into view, 1.588 billion, 170 million more than in the 28th year of Jiajing!

Seeing this number, Zhao Ran was suddenly "relieved", and it increased by 12 percent, presumably Zhou Zhenren was also secretly happy in his heart.

Such a growth rate should mostly depend on the return of the white crane to the sky and the ascension of the Longyang Patriarch, which has always been the longest credibility value.

To make a comparison secretly, the ascension of Longyang Patriarch should be more than twice as high as that of Zhang Dazhenren seven years ago, and the boost to the growth of credibility should be more than twice as high.

Turning the first page, Jiangxi's credibility value is still firmly at the forefront, exceeding 200 million for the first time in history, reaching 200 million and 600 million.

The second and third places were also unchanged. Huguang ranked second with 170 million, and Shandong ranked third with 160 million.

Zhao Ran turned to Nanzhili, from more than 90 million last year, to 128 million, a net increase of 30 million, although the ranking is still seventh, but it has greatly narrowed the distance with Zhejiang, and at the same time opened the gap with Sichuan.

In the credibility ranking of Nanzhili, Ying Tianfu is unique, reaching more than 29.3 million, an increase of 20 million!

Looking at this set of figures, Zhao Ran felt ashamed for the first time, the credibility value of 29 million, it is estimated that most of it was brought by the ascension of Longyang Patriarch. But when I think about it, I have also made a lot of efforts, but few people know about it.

In addition to Nan Zhili, Zhao Ran is also concerned about the credibility of Sichuan Province, last year the credibility value of Sichuan Province officially exceeded 100 million, of which Song Fan contributed 6.8 million, which is still growing, but the growth rate has finally begun to slow down.

After all, the population of the entire Song Domain has just exceeded 600,000, which is not the same as the hinterland of the Central Plains. Fortunately, the Shifang Jungle of Song Fan has continued Zhao Ran's previous policy of encouraging immigrants and encouraging the birth of children, and the proportion of children under the age of 10 in the 600,000 population has increased year by year, and it is believed that in another ten years, the population growth rate will be greatly improved.

After the double cultivation ceremony, the ceremony of awarding Wei Zhizhen and Tsing Yi was held immediately after, and the two refiners conferred the ceremony at the same time, which was unimaginable in the Zongsheng Hall a year ago, but now, not only is the material rich, but the credibility value is not lacking.

The two of them consumed 7.2 million gui, and most of the trust value accumulated by the Zongsheng Hall was spent again. Aunt Long's mother-in-law originally proposed that Tsing Yi could go to Wudang to be punished, but Jiang Tenghe did not agree. In general, the Zongsheng Pavilion has been exempted from the obligation to hand over the credibility value for ten years, and in the next nine years, the Zongsheng Pavilion is expected to have 60 million credibility points to retain, and spending 7.2 million hearts is nothing.

After the award, the strength of the Zongsheng Pavilion continued to rise, and with two great refiners and three refiners, this strength was also very good.

After resting and adjusting in Dajun Mountain for half a month, on the first day of February, Zhao Ran returned to Yingtian and continued his tired life.

Since November last year, more than 400 overseas cultivators have successively applied for practice permits in Jimingguan, and 38 maritime trade permits have also been issued. The monks and ships came from twenty-three islands, nineteen of which were in the East China Sea and four in the South China Sea.

Zhao Ran took the time to adjust the file and read it once, and asked the people in the deacon's room to draw a coastal map according to the information and information on the file, and marked the islands that had received the information.

The twenty-three small islands, painted into the vast sea, are just a drop in the ocean, not to mention that these islands are basically mainly offshore, and the unknown areas on the map are still shrouded in fog. But this is a good start, and Zhao Ran has the patience to wait for this layer of fog to gradually dispel.

In mid-February, he received good news that the first experimental bridge pier refined by Sun Biyun's master and apprentice had been completed!

This is a piece of magic weapon with a length of foot, the principle is the same as that of Sun Biyun's refining temple, with advanced cultivation methods, the bridge pier refining and compressing into objects that can be carried around, and then unfolded when needed.

The pier is composed of three parts, there is a heavy disc in the middle, this is the load-bearing platform, above the disc, is the integrated pier body, the body is two hollow iron pipes, connected by components, in the form of lying down "work".

Below the load-bearing platform are five slender and extremely strong piles, arranged in a plum blossom shape, accounting for half of the height of the entire pier, these five piles occupy seventy percent of the high-end consumables of the entire pier, and are the highest and most sophisticated part of the pier. Whether the bridge pier can stand depends on whether the pile is deep and whether it can "build the bottom".

Zhao Ran specially transferred a 300-material river boat from Longtanwei, pulled a ticket of people, and found a river surface of a similar depth upstream to carry out experimental piling.

In Zhao Ran's memory, there are two methods of piling, one is the cofferdam method, that is, an area is enclosed on the selected site, and the river water inside is evacuated to form a deep well without water, and the bridge pier is driven down.

However, this method is too large and too difficult, and it is difficult to achieve it with the existing conditions, so the second way is adopted - directly down, like hammering a nail, directly down.

The bottom of the river is deep, almost four to five zhang, and those who can go into the water and stay at least one stick of incense should be at least above the Huangguan realm, in order to be safe, Zhao Ran brought out the four groups of the inspection team to ensure the manpower of the experiment.

The inspection team was all above Jindan Xiuwei, plus Zhao Ran and Sun Biyun's disciples and grandchildren, twenty-eight people went into the water together and came to the bottom of the river.

Su Chuanyao's cultivation was too shallow, and he couldn't support it when he went down, so Pei Zhongxi pushed Zhao Ran into the water instead.

Under the command of Sihai and Fu Jiufang, everyone formed a circle of six zhang square, and the area in the middle of this circle was the place where the pile was ready to be lowered.

The archmage can last at the bottom of the river for half an hour, Zhao Ran is mainly concerned about whether the monks in the Jindan realm can hold it, he looked at more than a dozen Jindan such as Qianxun Daotong, and asked them one by one with gestures, everyone learned him to circle his thumb and index finger, straighten the back three fingers, and show that he was fine, so Zhao Ran made the same gesture to Sun Biyun and asked him to start.

Sun Biyun took out the pier magic weapon from his arms and threw it to the center, the magic trick was pinched, and a streamer on the magic weapon flashed, and it immediately swelled.

As soon as the pier magic weapon expanded, Zhao Ran suddenly felt the water waves swaying, and a huge force rushed to his face. Pei Zhonglu exerted his strength under his feet, stepped into the mud at the bottom of the river, and held the wheelchair in his hand, so that he could stand firmly, but his body couldn't stop shaking. Fortunately, a few boulders were tied to the wheelchair, otherwise Zhao Ran would have been washed away by the pressure of the water waves.

The two of them are like this, not to mention the rest of the Jin Dan who are one level lower in the realm, Qian Xun Dao Tong is fine, he directly lay on the ground, his hands are inserted into the mud and clasped tightly, and the rest of the Jin Dan is not very good, and five or six of them were directly washed away more than ten zhang away.
