Da Zaojun
Chapter 258 Hongzhou Cauldron
"The Eastern Palace?"
A voice echoed in Song Wuji's mind: "Your Majesty, please address me as Crown Prince!"
He shook his head, however, saying there was no prince with the strength of a seventh-rank official.
However, the essence of appointing officials is to establish laws and regulations.
In fact, under the traditional county government system, a single county already had enough talent to govern a country.
Song Wuji understood this, but in a world plagued by demons, many who had the courage and backbone to fight against them died.
They died before they even had a chance to react.
For example, the scholar Sun, who was killed by the tiger demon, was such an outstanding person.
He was turned into a ghost, and when he died, his soul was completely scattered. Later, Song Wuji couldn't even summon his soul back. Even when he engraved his name on the tombstone in an attempt to gather the scattered remnants of his soul, there was no response whatsoever.
Moreover, the crown prince is also a "ruler".
However, Song Wuji now leans more towards the Zhou Dynasty's ideas of enfeoffing feudal lords, expanding outwards, resisting demons, and constantly opening up new frontiers.
After killing them all, we can then talk about unification.
Although the Crown Prince Zombie died hastily, it was because he was controlled by the Black Phoenix before he could fully mature. Otherwise, if he had established a zombie dynasty, there would probably have been another Corpse Demon Path.
Apart from the Crown Prince's Decree and the Imperial Lady, this smallpox plague has gotten much better. The secret realm token is the [Bian Que Decree].
Bian Que was the leader of a medical organization during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. He was skilled in treating various difficult and complicated diseases and had treated the rulers of various states.
The most famous story is about treating the stubborn Duke Huan of Cai. The first two times, the Duke did not take the illness seriously. When the Duke came to ask for help a third time, Bian Que avoided seeing him. This story is the number one story about not listening to medical advice.
However, as one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the medical school also possessed considerable strength.
Upon receiving this Bian Que decree, one can obtain the rituals of the Heavenly Hospital. Those who do not qualify as ordinary medical workers will be classified as physicians. The nine-rank rituals are [observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation], while those who qualify will be classified as [heavenly physicians who diagnose].
The eighth rank is the "Great Physician," but it is divided into thirteen sub-disciplines. The seventh rank is the "Healer of Ghosts and Spirits."
This secret realm token is very useful, as it has a relatively complete ritual inheritance and the most comprehensive system.
In addition, there is the token of the Black Cable Python Spirit, which is called [Ship Commander], in charge of ship traffic and water trade... It is the same lineage as the ninth-rank [Wave-Fighting Fisherman], with the addition of the eighth-rank [Tide-River Ghost] and the seventh-rank [River Manager], in charge of water combat.
There are two more rituals that correspond to this. One belongs to shipbuilders, and those of the ninth rank are called "Zhemen Boat Craftsmen." They can make various small motorized boats, which can accommodate two or three to seven or eight people. The boats they make are similar to ritual implements and have various effects.
The eighth-rank official was called a "cart and ship engineer," who could build medium-sized ships that could accommodate carts, horses, and fifty soldiers. There were also different types of these ships.
The seventh rank is called [Treasure Ship Craftsman]. They can build large ships that can accommodate hundreds of people, can be equipped with cannons, or large cargo ships that can travel to distant seas.
However, these shipwrights need a lot of demonic materials to build a seventh-grade treasure ship or warship, and it cannot be completed by a single seventh-grade master craftsman alone. It also requires the cooperation of many other weapon refiners.
However, from the moment he received the order, Song Wuji made up his mind to build a ship! To build a massive ship!
It is well known that legends of dragon kings and water gods exist in various places, and the demons and secret realms in the water are no less numerous than those on land.
In addition, it is also very quick to search for information along the waterways and contact other cities that have not yet fallen.
"We've obtained these secret realm tokens, but we haven't found the secret realms yet. There must be ready-made treasure ships and warships in the secret realms, and maybe even cannons!"
Song Wuji remembered that there used to be a shipbuilding bureau set up by the imperial court in Poyang Lake, which must have been transformed into a secret realm.
The cable of the Black Cable Python Spirit is also a cable from the ship that has become a spirit.
There is also a [Baoquan Order], which was contributed by the bronze Buddha.
Baoquan means coins. This token is a permit to mint coins.
Song Wuji recalled: It seems that there have always been vassal kings here, and some of them have been granted permission to mint coins.
This bronze Buddha was prepared for a rebellion by a vassal king, who was likely the one suppressed by the sage of the School of Mind.
“This secret realm must have a large population! Bronze Buddha, bronze Buddha, the secret realm must be in the Bronze Buddha Temple. It's a place for garrisoning troops and minting coins. There must be a lot of weapons and armor in this secret realm, and there might even be military tokens. Moreover, a rebellion will definitely need provisions, and there's plenty of food. I can also recruit troops from there.”
On the contrary, even though Hei Luan died and Wu Tong Shen was suppressed, neither of them showed up here with the secret realm token.
"Rumor has it that the phoenix is immortal. Perhaps this thing has already returned to the secret realm and turned into an egg on the parasol tree."
As for the Five Evil Gods, Song Wuji was wondering whether to refine them into a pot or a cauldron.
After much deliberation, I decided to refine the cauldron.
The pot is made of iron, but the tripod is made of bronze. The Tiger Realm has no shortage of bronze and can cast a Kitchen God Taotie Tripod.
In addition, the cauldron has the power to suppress.
When Yu the Great was taming the floods, demons and monsters wreaked havoc across the land. Yu the Great killed the demons and monsters, and to prevent them from causing trouble again, he forged the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the human destiny of the Nine Provinces.
As far as the dynasty is concerned, the preceding Yu Dynasty and the ancient Tang Dynasty seem somewhat illusory.
But it was indeed after Yu the Great cast the Nine Tripods and established the Nine Provinces that the concept of a unified world came into being.
This also marked the beginning of a family-run empire.
From then on, the Shang Dynasty under Cheng Tang, the Zhou Dynasty under Xiqi, and even the Qin and Han Dynasties... all took the Nine Provinces as the [Central Plains legal system].
However, nowadays, it's likely that things like the Nine Tripods or the Imperial Seal of the State will be difficult to find again.
Now that the Three Realms are in disorder and the Six Paths are broken, the Human Path is being invaded by demons, evil spirits and so on. It is even more necessary to emulate the ancient Yu the Great's flood control efforts, to dredge the mountains, rivers and water veins, kill all demons and monsters, and rebuild the laws and regulations.
Moreover, those eight treasures used to suppress the earth net were never considered "powerful artifacts."
We need a core, powerful instrument to suppress the earth and the earth's network.
Not only the Earth Net, but also the Heavenly Net is the same.
Even if the Weaver Girl of Heaven manipulated the Heavenly Net and Earthly Net, at this moment, the power of law is no longer within the net, but is concentrated in the cauldron.
The internet is merely a radiation and derivative of the rights represented by the cauldron, not the entire net itself representing rights.
"The cauldron is a vital vessel for the flow of fortune, so we need to find a professional to handle it. We'll have the Taoist priests from the Iron Pillar Palace choose an auspicious day."
"However, with only two counties, we don't need the cauldron. The cauldron has three legs. We need to take Hongzhou first so that we can have a foothold. Then we can name it the Hongzhou Cauldron."
"In the remaining counties, they cast small tripods from the Hongzhou Ding to replace shrines and deities, serving as true human nodes to suppress the earthly net and carry on the heavenly net."
My thinking suddenly became much clearer.
Immediately, Song Wuji summoned Luo Chuan, who was fishing with a group of fishermen in Luohu Lake. At other times, he cultivated in the Luohu Little Dragon Palace. When Song Wuji summoned him, he directly handed over the ritual inheritance to him: "From now on, you will be at the same level as Chen Xiu, but your cultivation is not as good as his, so work hard to cultivate and find some people who know how to build boats, even if it's just a dugout canoe or a covered boat."
Luo Chuan's eyes lit up as he received the ritual inheritance: "Great! I will definitely help the Lord of the Realm train an elite naval force!"
"It's not to help me, it's for the sake of all living beings."
After sending Luo Chuan away, Song Wuji conjured up a few more Yuanling Firebirds and sent them to Chen Xiu to inform him to explore the secret realms represented by the tokens in Jianxin County as soon as possible, especially the shipbuilding secret realm, the military training secret realm, and the medical secret realm.
