NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 Collecting Rare Beasts
The official circles of the Yue State spread the news that when the barbarians had a sign of invasion, my king went to worship the gods and asked the ghosts and gods for divination.
Well, civil and military officials are no strangers to it.
Even before the prime minister dispatched food and went to the frontier, my king mysteriously handed over a secret letter to the prime minister, saying that it was a "sacred revelation" to be handed over to the Taiwei, which would help the Taiwei quell the chaos.
When Prime Minister Zhang Yan received this secret letter, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.
Is this using the mouth of the gods to conspire with the Taiwei in private?
It's not that Zhang Yan has persecution paranoia, but sitting in his position, he has to guard against this move.
If the Taiwei was called to rectify the soldiers, in the name of resisting bandits, but he was actually on the side of the Qing emperor, and he was on the side of the separatist regime, wouldn't Zhang Yan be the one who wanted to be cleared of the chaotic ministers and thieves?
Taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, the Yue Kingdom broke away from Daxuan and re-separated one side.
Therefore, Zhang Yan secretly tested Wang Ge, asking what was in the secret letter, like a restless rabbit.
In the end, Wang Ge had had enough fun and allowed Zhang Yan to open the secret letter without playing tricks.
As a result, Zhang Yan saw that the content was not an affair between the monarch and his ministers, but the weather forecast for the south of Miao County within four months.
It's just the weather forecast
Wang Ge explained meaningfully:
"I have heard that soldiers, the great affairs of the country, must be investigated. The scriptures say five things, one of which is heaven.
The sky is yin and yang, cold and heat, and seasons,
In the current barbaric crisis, living alone in the deep palace, unable to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and civilians, I deeply hate it, I can only pray to the gods, pray to the ghosts and gods, and send down the law of eliminating disasters and disasters. I also ask the prime minister to bring this divine revelation and give it to the Taiwei. There is no disaster in the country of Yue, and the monarchs, soldiers and militia are all in peace. "
Wang Ge's words were sincere and sighing, and Zhang Yan felt embarrassed when he heard it.
The feeling is that he has become a villain himself, and he has judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Zhang Yan sniffled, and then he settled down, and set off to the frontier with the divine revelation, money and food, and recruited civilians.
As soon as the prime minister left, Sikong would be able to control the court, and Han Deng followed Wang Ge's instructions to investigate Zhang Yan's placement of nails in the Yue Kingdom under the condition of stabilizing the court.
But Zhang Yan is not the only one representing the Daxuan Empire, trying to control the Yue Kingdom.
Just after Han Dengjian did a single investigation, Wang Ge discovered that some local gentry from the Yue Kingdom had contacted Zhang Yan in private.
After Wang Ge found out, he wasn't too ashamed, but just sighed:
"There is an old saying in my hometown, a century-old dynasty and a thousand-year family.
These aristocratic families don't care who is the master of Yue.
People are always attracted to strength, seeing the strength of the Daxuan Empire, they have yearning heart, thinking of betting on both sides, so that the family's prosperity and wealth can last for a long time.
The Qiao family in Xiangxi, the Zhu family in Sanxi, and the Xu family in Wanhao are all human beings.
Hmph, in other words, dogs can't change eating shit. "
Wang Ge shook his head, his heart was as clear as a candle, and with the historical background of Blue Star's hometown as his experience, Wang Ge knew the mentality of these aristocratic families like the palm of his hand.
He does not have the mental cleanliness of "loyalty is not absolute, but it is absolutely disloyal". He just counted with his fingers and encountered potential threats:
The Central Plains was in turmoil, the southern barbarians invaded, and the gentry were alienated
In the end, Wang Ge concluded, "I'm still not strong enough."
Summarize the current predicament as the lack of strength.
Wang Ge took a deep breath, summoned the Shao Fuqing, and asked him to summarize and present the clues about rare birds and animals that he had collected in the past two and a half months.
Originally, he planned to complete the training of "Soldier Fighting Fist" and reach the level of "slab ribs and tendons" before starting to prepare for the second clone, but now the situation is changing, and Wang Ge also wants to change his plan.
The clues collected by the Secretary of the Shaofu:
"Chasing thunderbirds, chasing wind and electricity, nesting in the north and resting in the south, spring comes and goes north, autumn comes and goes south, eating its meat can improve eyesight and clear fire."
"The black-eyed tiger, a tiger, is a fierce beast that haunts the mountains and forests of Miao County. The roar of the tiger shakes the sky, and its claws are divided into gold and iron. Its bones are one of the main ingredients of dragon and tiger soup."
"The snake, with a body length of up to two feet and three feet, has the thickness of a bowl mouth, swallows yellow cattle in its mouth, eats gold and iron, has tough scales, and is highly poisonous. It is raised in Liuyi County, Miao County. Meat tendons are one of the main ingredients of Longhu soup. , skin can be used as armor, poison can be used as medicine"
"The iron-eating beast, black and white, with a mouth that breaks gold and jade, palms that open mountains and rocks, haunts Pi County in Hengjiang State."
"Golden silkworms eat purple mulberry, drink golden water, spit out gold thread and copper thread, weave clothes and weave armor. They are impenetrable by water and fire, and hard to penetrate by swords. They are raised in Sangyu County, Miao County, and are used as armor for the army."
"Golden-footed centipede, nine feet long, its feet are like saws, its jaws are like pincers, and its body is like iron. It lives in the deep mountains of Nanman. It is a Gu weapon used by barbarians."
Shao Fuqing is good at handling affairs and has given a lot of clues.
In addition to the native species of the Yue Kingdom, there are also surrounding areas, such as the iron-eating beasts in the Hengjiang Kingdom to the west of the Yue Kingdom, and the Gu insects in the Barbarian Kingdom to the south of the Yue Kingdom.
"However, in recent years, I don't plan to go abroad. When choosing species, it's better to choose the native species of Vietnam."
Thinking so, Wang Ge listed species outside of Yue as the third class, which was considered last.
The rest are native to Vietnam.
"The wild beasts in the mountains are not easy to find, but there are traces of the species that have been artificially raised."
Wang Ge also ranked wild beasts such as the thunderbird and the black-tempered tiger as the second class, and they will be considered next.
Finally, there are exotic animals raised in captivity. This is the breeding industry of the Yue country, such as domesticating pigs, sheep, cattle and horses into livestock that can generate economic value, and the Yue people also domesticate other rare animals that can bring value.
"Snake, golden silkworm. Miao County still has these two pillar industries." Wang Ge sighed a little.
There are two counties in Yue State, and Xiang County is a land of fish and rice, which is rich in grain and accounts for 65% of the country's population.
There are many mountains and forests in Miao County, and there are many uncivilized lands. Mountain wild insects and beasts often appear, and they bear the brunt of harassment by barbarians.
But Miao County has minerals and rare animal breeding.
"The breeding industry of the viper and golden silkworm is very mature, and I can use the least amount of energy to obtain the embryos of these two exotic animals."
Wang Ge chose his two goals, but he thought about which one to choose:
"In terms of economic value and breeding scale, the golden silkworm is much higher than the snake. The gold and copper wires produced every year are not only very popular in Vietnam, but also exported to other places, earning hundreds of dollars for the country every year. Thousands of foreign exchange.
But the avatar I want is not for making money, the strength and potential of the avatar, and whether it is useful or not to share the talents with me are the most important things.
Regarding the snake, judging from the information provided by Minister Shaofu, this snake is characterized by eating, it can swallow food the size of a ox in one bite, and its skin is very tough, and its stomach can digest gold, silver, copper and iron into a part of the scales, and Has a very strong venom.
eat.
Does martial arts practice require a big appetite? If I can share the devouring talent of the cobra, I can increase my food intake several times, wouldn't my martial arts practice speed be several times faster? "
