Ningguo Mansion, East Courtyard.
Nan Qiao and a group of maids had already spread out the pre-prepared contract in front of everyone, with the two capitals and thirteen provinces marked on it.
But what surprised Niu Jizong and others was that the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, which belonged to the north of the Yellow River, had been circled in red, and were obviously selected by someone. Who was ahead of them?
"The Earl of Datong contracted the monopoly of Shaanxi, and the Earl of Xuanfu contracted the monopoly of Shanxi."
Jia Xuan said lightly without waiting for Niu Jizong and others to ask.
Click! As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
Niu Jizong and others' eyes became flickering. They didn't expect that the remaining two third-class Earls who were rewarded this time would join the Jia family.
If Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi were included, wouldn't the so-called Yongping nobles become the Jia family's private soldiers?
What on earth is this kind of business going to do? The people present didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Cough cough!"
"I will choose Beizhili and Shenjing first."
The most experienced Niu Jizong broke the strange atmosphere and signed his name on the contract.
"Signed by Brother Niu���It's our turn."
"Old Liu, let's not fight over this."
As he said this, Hou Xiaokang rubbed his hands, ready to make a move.
""Okay, okay, Nanzhili and Jinling belong to you, I want Shandong."
Liu Fang signed his name reluctantly.
In fact, Shandong faces the East China Sea, and the nearby Goryeo, Japan, Great Ryukyu, and Small Ryukyu are all potential customers. With the connections of the Liu family, they can sell Shaodaozi overseas, and the income may not necessarily be inferior to Nanzhili.
"Hehe!"
Hou Xiaokang cupped his hands and signed the contract without hesitation.
In this way, Henan was the only province left north of the Yellow River. The Central Plains was developed on all sides, but any side had to pass through another province to enter or leave. The way to sell to the outside world had almost been cut off, which was considered useless.
However, Henan had a population of 20 million, and many people practiced martial arts, so it was natural to consume a large amount of Shaodaozi, which was also profitable.
Only Feng Tang, Nian Gengyao29, and Yue Zhong29 Qi were left unselected, and the three of them were a little hesitant.
"Brother Feng, please go first."
Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi looked at each other and said at the same time:
"Thank you, my dear brothers. I will choose Henan."
Feng Tang signed the contract without hesitation.
In this way, all provinces north of the Yellow River have been decided. Only the south of the Yellow River is left for Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi. They thought for a moment and decided on Sichuan and Huguang.
This is mainly because these two provinces are not only vast and populous, but also closely connected with the areas north of the Yellow River.
Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong have always been prosperous in culture and education. Since the pre-Ming Dynasty, they have been the places where the academic cliques took root, and the local gentry are deeply rooted.
Among the current civil servants in the country, Wei Dongting, the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge From Jiangxi, Li Guangdi, the Minister of Rites, from Fujian, Yao Qisheng, the Minister of Punishment, from Zhejiang, and half of the six ministers are from the above provinces.
Another thing is that the Yuan Cong nobles are the most powerful in the southeast coast. They are already at odds with the founding nobles. If they create trouble again, how can the new nobles with weak foundations like Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi compete with them?
Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou are all remote places, with few Han people, and the local roads are rugged and transportation is inconvenient. Sichuan and Huguang are indeed the best choices here.
‘Not bad!
Seeing the two people's choices, Jia Xuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction
"There are still seven provinces that have not been selected. The Viscount Mansion and the Jingtian Marquis Mansion Qiu Family will be combined into eight families, and each family can contract one of them."
"The remaining three provinces were handed over to the Baronial Court and other nobles."
"What do you think?"
"Great!"
Niu Jizong and others nodded in agreement.
Thus, the most close-knit group of nobles in the imperial court was formed, laying the foundation for Jia Xuan's future ambitions.
"Duke!"
"There is one thing I don't understand"
"You said that within a year, the 200,000 soldiers of Liaodong will be transformed into at least the third rank warriors."
"Is this the case?...."
Feng Tang, the Earl of Liaoyang and the Governor of Southern Liaoning, could not help but ask.
This matter had been lingering in his mind since just now, and he had not come up with a solution.
As we all know, the path of martial arts has been around since the pre-Qin period. There are nine grades of merit, with the first grade being the lowest and the ninth grade being the highest. The lower three grades are for refining Ming Jin, the middle three grades are for refining An Jin, and the upper three grades are for refining Hua Jin. Just the entry of Jin has already blocked most people in the world.
Force cannot be released because the bones are trapped in the shoulders and back, but Jin can be released because of the tendons and reach the limbs. Force is tangible, but Jin is intangible. Force is square and Jin is round, force is astringent and Jin is smooth, force is slow and Jin is fast, force is scattered and Jin is gathered, force is floating and Jin is sinking, force is blunt and Jin is sharp.
You have to condense the strength of your whole body into a rope before you can turn it into Jin. Ming Jin is manifested by the body, An Jin is not manifested in front of people, and Hua Jin is from the outside to the inside. Each threshold is very different.
Every white-armored soldier of the Later Jin Dynasty was a warrior of good rank. This was because the Jurchen Tartars grew up in the mountains and forests since childhood, made a living by fishing and hunting, and trained their strength with bows and arrows. Fighting was commonplace for them, so naturally more warriors were born.
But for the dynasty, most people came from poor families. How could they understand the essence of strength through daily farming? Not to mention that they did not have enough meat to nourish themselves and support the consumption of martial arts training, which would only cause internal injuries and increase the burden.
How easy is it to train 200,000 warriors within a year?
From ancient times to the present, even the Qin Dynasty that annexed the six kingdoms in the past has never done it. It is said that every Iron Eagle Warrior was a warrior of the lower third rank, and among the Qin Dynasty's million-strong army, there were less than 10,000 Iron Eagle Warriors, which shows how hard it was.
Feng Tang was not the only one who had this question in his mind. Niu Jizong, Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Yue Zhongqi, and Nian Gengyao all showed doubts.
"Hahaha!"
"I thought you guys would just keep it to yourself and not ask."
"Uncle Feng couldn't help it after all."
Jia Xuan shook his head slightly and said with a smile
"????"
After hearing this, Niu Jizong and other nobles were even more confused. What was going on?
Next, Jia Xuan's actions really made them feel numb.
"Nan Qiao"
"You come show them."
""Yes!"
The slender Nan Qiao stood in the open space in the middle of the courtyard.
She was wearing a plain dress, which was completely tailored according to the specifications of a warrior's uniform, and her green hair was tied tightly with a silk ribbon.
In an instant, a sharp aura burst out from Nan Qiao's body, and her fair skin suddenly became as red as blood. Small bulges appeared below, and blue veins bulged, and an inexplicable muffled sound was heard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound like a big drum made Niu Jizong and other eighth-grade warriors feel hot and uncomfortable.
At this time, Nan Qiao moved, his soft body was like a fully drawn bow, and his fists flew out with the wind while he walked.
""Bang!!!"
There was a burst of sound in the courtyard, like thunder, deafening.
The majestic power of blood and qi was fully displayed in Nan Qiao's movements, and waves of qi were faintly set off around her. The blood and qi were boiling, the sound was like a drum, the movement was like a bow, and the sound was like thunder. Everyone was stunned in place.
Until Nan Qiao retracted her movements, her figure was as graceful as before, standing beside Jia Xuan, like a lady from ancient calligraphy and painting, the others had already been stunned, they were all wondering what they saw?
The power displayed by the woman in front of them was comparable to that of a third-grade warrior, and it could even be said that It was not a big deal to be on par with a sixth-rank warrior.
In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there were many strong women who practiced martial arts, including Fu Hao, the queen of King Wu Ding of Shang, Xun Guan of Jin, Empress Mao of Former Qin, Lady Xian of Lingnan of Sui, Princess Pingyang of Tang, Empress Xiao of Liao, Yang Miaozhen of late Jin, Tang Saier of early Ming, Liang Hongyu, wife of General Han Shizhong of Southern Song, and Qin Liangyu, the former Marquis of Zhongzhen of Ming, all of whom were ninth-rank warriors.
But what Nan Qiao showed was not strength, but the magnificent blood and qi they had never seen before. The strength that could be seen from the flesh seemed like a transformation, which made these eighth-rank warriors look at her sideways!
"Nephew"
"she....she..."
Niu Jizong could not even speak clearly.
Hou Xiaokang, Liu Fang, Feng Tang, Yue Zhongqi, and Nian Gengyao were all equally shocked.
"I'm sure you all know that I personally formed the Longxiong Guard. It's been less than half a year since I selected a group of Nanyang disciples."
"However, the weakest of the Dragon Guards can rival a mid-level third-rank warrior, and the strongest can rival an upper-level third-rank warrior."
"Of course, before the expedition, the Dragon Guards were far from being able to do what they are now. At most, they could only deal with lower-rank warriors."
"Nan Qiao's current strength is called the martial arts realm. What she is practicing is not the way of a warrior, but the real way of martial arts."
"What is the martial arts? It is the way to heaven. When you reach the highest level, you can achieve immortality."
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Jia Xuan said word by word:"This martial arts is called the human immortal martial arts."
"At present, the ninth realm is enough to break through the void.���To another world"
"????"
Niu Jizong and the others were completely confused.
The confusion in their eyes seemed to be asking where I was and what I was doing.
There was a weak spiritual energy in the world of the Red Mansion, which gave birth to the Nine-Rank Martial Arts from the pre-Qin period. This was already"sacred" in the eyes of ordinary people. A Nine-Rank Martial Artist could defeat thousands of troops alone. How powerful he was.
However, no one had ever thought of the word immortality, let alone breaking the void, because everyone thought it was a myth.
Now, Jia Xuan told them that this was all true, which was a bit subversive to everyone's cognition.
"The human immortal martial arts is divided into nine realms, namely, martial artist, martial apprentice, warrior, martial arts master, innate, great master, martial saint, land immortal, and human immortal."
"The martial artist refines the flesh, the martial apprentice refines the tendons, the warrior refines the skin, the martial arts master refines the bones, the innate refines the organs, the grandmaster washes the marrow, the martial saint changes blood, and the immortal opens the orifices."
"This martial art is about strengthening the Qi and blood, improving the essence of the body, and thus surpassing the limit."
"At the Great Perfection of the Wusheng Realm, a single arm has a force of 300 kilograms, a martial artist has a force of 800 kilograms, and a warrior has a force of 1,200 kilograms."
"Reaching the realm of post-natal martial arts master, cultivating a body of steel and iron, living beyond two centuries, possessing a strength of a hundred kilograms"
"Condensed innate Qi, able to enter fetal breathing at any time, and live to be 300 years old"
"The great master's blood is like lead and mercury, his marrow is like frost, he has the sound of tigers and leopards, he can pass through thousands of troops without getting hurt, and he lives for 500 years."
"The Martial Saint was reborn, his hair and marrow were shaved off, his qi and blood turned into billowing smoke, he was extremely strong and masculine, able to dispel all evil spirits and demons, and was immune to all poisons."
"The immortals on land, having opened up the mystical gate, can now walk in the air."
""The human immortal is when all the 365 blood orifices are connected, and the heaven and man are one. With just a wave of his hand and a foot, he can shatter the void, and he is so powerful!"
Jia Xuan blurted out all the information about the human immortal martial arts, and everyone's mouths were already open as wide as they could. The lowest level of martial arts can already crush the lower third-grade martial artists, not to mention the other realms above.
This means that the three thousand Dragon Guards are at least equivalent to three thousand middle third-grade martial artists, which is simply too terrifying.
Such an army was placed in Shenjing, almost under the noses of the royal family, and the emperor and Emperor Yongping were completely unaware!
Because no one in the entire country or even the world could have imagined that Jia Xuan never belonged to this world. He brought something that was enough to subvert the entire world, just like the human immortal martial arts, which was completely beyond the expectations of Niu Jizong and others.
""Everyone, look."
With a slight smile, Jia Xuan's figure became particularly tall and conspicuous in the night. An inexplicable light shone, like a spark of fire, sprouting from the dantian and then gradually covering the whole body. The outside was a layer of gold, and the inside was blood red, flowing like a raging flame.
From head to toe, even the hair was covered by the Great Sun Qi, showing a different kind of domineering and coquettishness, giving people a strong sense of threat.
He flicked his finger lightly, and a wisp of the Great Sun Qi fell on the old tree in the yard. The old tree, which was originally lush and leafy, suddenly rose with flames and turned into a charred black in an instant. Finally, bits of dust floated in the air.
""Hiss!!!"
Seeing this, Niu Jizong and the others took a breath of cold air, and their backs went cold.
If this blow landed on them, I'm afraid their fate would not be much better than that of the tree.
They even had a guess in their hearts that a ninth-rank warrior would be helpless in the face of such a situation.
"May I ask the Duke?"
"Your cultivation...."
Yue Zhongqi stared at Jia Xuan intently and asked.
Others also wanted to know the answer, and they were eagerly waiting.
"I broke through the innate realm during the Liaodong War, which allowed me to treat 300,000 Jurchen Tartars as chickens and dogs."
"Yu Wanjun shot and killed the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, and killed the prince of the ninth-rank warrior and three generals of the Later Jin Dynasty of the eighth-rank warrior."
Wearing a plain gold-rimmed brocade dress and a jade hairpin, Jia Xuan's face was extremely calm, as if he had just killed an ant.
Boom!
As soon as the words fell, a storm was set off in the hearts of everyone present.
The innate warrior was so powerful, and he could live for three hundred years. Jia Xuan alone could create an unprecedented powerful dynasty..
