Chapter 1 Luoyang Hundred Years
A hundred years are just a blink of an eye for a monk, but in the world, it is a world of change.
Luoyang, the imperial palace.
In front of the majestic Qiankun Hall, the list of merits and gods stands in the air. Around Luoyang City, standing on the Taiji Hall, you can see the scenery of the entire Luoyang City. Hanging floating islands fly according to mysterious trajectories. On these floating islands, they are either residences of powerful people or places where soldiers are stationed, arranged according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, with the stars above and the geography below.
These floating islands are the first line of defense in the huge Luoyang City. Once an enemy attacks, these floating islands are a defensive formation. When there is no war, these floating islands are the rules of Luoyang City. For example, no one entering the city can fall from the sky. At a very least, they are attacked by the floating island. If they still have to resist stubbornly, they will activate the killing formation on the floating island. Below the Golden Immortal, they will surely die!
Below the floating island, outside the palace is the residence of the people. Today's Luoyang City is somewhat different from the Luoyang City in the past. After the continuous design of hundreds of formations by Taoist Muyun, Lu Yu, Zhuge Liang and the Tianji Academy, the continuous design of Feng Shui elites, tens of thousands of travel to immortals to move mountains and seas. Today's Luoyang City turns all the Songshan Mountains, Luhun Mountains, and Wukou into city walls, spanning the Yellow River, connecting to Taihang and Wangwu Mountains in the north, using mountains and rivers as city walls, rivers as inland rivers, and attracting the luck of the world. It is the most magnificent city in the entire Nanzhanbu Prefecture.
"Your Majesty~ Wait for me~" An eunuch trotted to Liu Xie, looking at Liu Xie in casual clothes, and said in surprise: "Why is this your Majesty?"
"Calling at my fingertips, it has been ninety-nine years since I succeeded to the throne of the Human Emperor. In another year, it will be a hundred years. It is time to retire successfully." Liu Xie smiled and said, "The Prime Minister is about to leave the customs. I want to take a look at this century-old country before abdicating!"
Over the past century, according to the plan set by Lu Bu, the Han Dynasty promoted education, focused on agriculture, industry, and businessmen. Of course, they must always supervise, avoid monopoly, improve the environment, and absorb heroes of all races. In the three realms, anyone who can cultivate himself but has not harmed others can be defined as human beings.
In short, according to Lu Bu's plan, over the past century, the territory of the Han Dynasty has been expanding outward, and the grasslands in the north are no longer a disaster for the Han Dynasty. After decades of research and experiments, the court has developed a plan to control the grasslands. The three major prefectures, Jinlian Prefecture, Bailang Prefecture and Tuoba, were drawn north of Yinshan.
Of course, the governance of the grassland is based on the cultivation civilization of the Han Dynasty today. It uses culture to assimilate its heart for the benefit of assimilating its body. For this reason, Zhuge Liang personally went to the grassland for thirty years, and then today's situation of the Han Dynasty's world being vast and vast.
"Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and the Han Dynasty's national strength is increasing under His Majesty's rule. Why should I pass on the throne?" The eunuch hesitated and persuaded.
Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at the eunuch. In fact, such remarks can often be heard in recent years. No matter how powerful Lu Bu was, time can make people forget everything. Even the human war god who once fought out for the human race will be forgotten, or they will be forgotten selectively over time.
As for why, Liu Xie now understands why the Human Emperor has only been a hundred years. Now that the Han Dynasty is growing, the power established by relying on itself has been formed in secret, and sometimes it is more difficult to remove the cultivation family, but they have begun to have the phenomenon of concentrating resources as Lu Bu said.
There are so many resources in the world. Once the resources are concentrated, conflicts between the human race will begin to arise. For these people, it is more in line with their interests like Liu Xie, who is gentle and weak, and people like Lu Bu are in charge of the government. On the contrary, people who are arbitrary like Lu Bu are not what they want. Therefore, in recent years, the voices of rejecting Lu Bu back to the court have become increasingly louder and louder, and basically these people are coming from these people.
The solidification of the class is inevitable, but the more serious the solidification of interests, the more complaints the people will have. This is opposite to the interests of the Human Emperor. What the Human Emperor wants is luck. The more prosperous the human race, the higher the luck. Therefore, in terms of interests, there is conflict between the two sides, but if there are no such people, the world will be easily chaotic. This is an unsolvable vicious cycle. If the world is stable and the human race develops stably, the interests must be given to these people. However, the essence of human hearts is insufficient, especially the vested interests, who will want more and constantly devour the interests of the people, so dissatisfaction will be born.
As the Emperor of Humanity, it is to balance the contradictions. However, Liu Xie is too gentle by nature and cannot do some areas that should be ruthless. Although the overall fortune of the human race is still rising, it is the result of the expansion and development of the Han Dynasty. However, with the development of the entire Nanzhan Prefecture, Liu Xie could vaguely predict that when the conflicts between soldiers broke out in concentration, he would probably not be able to deal with them. Among those vested interests, there were smart people, so they wanted to keep Liu Xie and exclude Lu Bu and return to the court to take charge.
I don’t know if they should be naive or smart? Is this kind of thing they can stop?
"The Human Emperor has only been a hundred years, and this is the humanistic trend. No one can change it, so naturally I can't." Liu Xie did not scold the eunuch. There was no need. As a close minister of Liu Xie, Liu Xie abdicated, his status would plummet. Rather than protecting Liu Xie, it was better to safeguard his own interests. This is the nature of a human being, so why bother to blame?
The eunuch dared not say anything more, and changed into casual clothes to follow Liu Xie out of the palace. Now Luoyang is very large and is not allowed to fly in the city. If you don’t use escape magic, you can run around the whole city, not to mention walking around the whole city. Even if you want to cross the east and west or ordinary people from north to south for two or three days, you can’t do it.
Of course, the ordinary people here refer to some ordinary people who practice Qi cultivation. More than a hundred years ago, when Qi cultivation was not yet on the rise, ordinary people had to run through Luoyang now for ten days and half a month.
So when you get to the city, you will find that under countless floating islands, there are flying boats of different shapes everywhere. Eighty years ago, when flying boats gradually began to be used in civilian use, this can have a flying boat that is almost a symbol of folk status. It is definitely a very popular existence to drive a flying boat.
But now it is different. Since the Tianji Academy put the formation of the flying boats into the folk, the changes in this flying boat are all kinds of, with small flying boats that emphasize extreme speed. With enough magic power, they can travel thousands of miles in one hour. It is said that among the folk flying boats, the fastest flying boat can fly 1,283 miles in one hour without any obstacles. This is faster than the flying speed of many scattered immortals. There are even special flying boat plugs among the folk. The ability to control flying boats in complex environments is to accidentally destroy the ship, which is quite exciting.
Of course, this is extreme. Most flying boats are mainly produced for comfort and convenience. For example, most flying boats appearing in sight now are about two meters and the speed is not too fast.
Moreover, unlike the first batch of flying boats built back then, today's flying boats are not enough to roughly embed the array disk in wooden boards. After repeated trials, this method consumes and wastes the mana and array disks. Most chassis uses metal inlays that are more suitable for array transmission to make smaller and smaller array disks.
Moreover, in order to consider comfort, today's flying boats are not just loaded with an array disk. The shell has a wind-breaking array disk that reduces wind resistance. At the same time, the shell design will be mainly streamlined according to different needs and reduces wind resistance. This is hard for flying boat operators more than a hundred years ago. At that time, the flying boats were already good for traveling thousands of miles a day. As for comfort, no one has ever expected it.
In addition, there are dust cleansing disks, heart-clearing disks and even spirit gathering disks. They may also be equipped with treasure mirrors that can be viewed in the projection. In short, as long as you have enough money, you can get the best quality enjoyment in the flying boat, provided that you pay enough money.
In addition to this small-scale home-based flying boats, there will also be flying boats ten or even twenty feet long flying in the sky of Luoyang. These flying boats have fixed flight altitudes and specifically pull people without flying boats from one place to another. These flying boats belong to the government office and drive slowly. Not to mention more than one thousand miles per hour, these flying boats may not even be able to drive a hundred miles per hour, but basically, each one is full.
Liu Xie looked at a station where the flying boat was climbing. As soon as the flying boat door opened and a group of people squeezed up, he immediately felt what the Ministry of Revenue said a few days ago that Luoyang's population is now over ten thousand years old.
"Bang~" A girl with hair like tentacles was squeezed down from the flying boat, sat on the ground and looked around blankly, stood up with a grievance, ready to continue waiting for the next flying boat.
"Your Majesty, these people are so interesting. Why don't you buy a flying boat?" the eunuch said with a low smile.
Is it funny?
Liu Xie looked at the girl with hair like an octopus tentacle and shook her head. If she could afford it, she would naturally buy it. Since she chose to sit here, she would definitely not be able to buy it. The court allocated funds to build this kind of flying boat for each city, and the original intention was to make these people who could not afford it.
As for mercy, Liu Xie would not. He had seen severe drought in Guanzhong and experienced hunger. It is fortunate for them to live in such an era. The court has been working hard to improve people's livelihood and has not done anything wrong. Instead of sympathizing here, it is better to think about how to improve it in this last year as the Emperor of Humanity.
Unlike Lu Bu, although Lu Bu also had the intention to improve people's livelihood, it was difficult for Lu Bu to ask about these things personally. What Liu Xie has done in the past century is to improve people's livelihood, so he can implement everything himself.
"Your Majesty, how can you come here?" The magnificent Seven Immortal Pavilion, as the largest brothel in Luoyang, is officially the spider spirit brought back by Lu Bu from Huanghua Temple. However, there are only five here. The other two are in the textile industry and are now the owner of the largest well-known brand in Luoyang.
"Go out for a walk, congratulations to the host for breaking through the Golden Immortal cultivation level." The spider spirit giggled. They practiced the technique of collecting yang, but they did not change it later. However, now they are telling people that we do not charge money but only yang energy, and the general yang energy is not favored, so they have to be similar to their cultivation level.
It is precisely because of this that although the practice is considered an evil method, no one arrested them in Luoyang, not because there is a hundred-eyed Taoist Lord behind it, but because it is also a transaction. Even though they know that they want yang energy, they can only say that you have insufficient concentration. Of course, the Demon-Suppressing Office also has a record here. It is not allowed to charm others with charming skills, otherwise it would be considered illegal.
"If Your Majesty can give you a wisp of the human emperor's aura, our sisters will definitely break through faster in their cultivation." The eldest sister giggled.
Even though Liu Xie was already over 100 years old, he could not resist this charming woman. He could only shake his head and said, "If this happens, I will call the people from the Demon-Suppressing Office."
"That's right, how dare you talk to Your Majesty with such dirty words..." The eunuch pointed at his elder sister and shouted.
"Oh?" The elder sister's eyes turned cold when she heard this: "Why did this Huangmen slander my sisters with those charming fox people? Do you think that the Fairy Fox Pavilion is better than my Seven Immortal Pavilion?"
Xianhu Pavilion is a brothel opened by several fox demons. It focuses on skills and is the kind that sells skills but not the body. It is opposite to the Qixian Pavilion and looks down on each other.
"Uh..." The eunuch didn't know how to answer the conversation, what should he say.
"Okay, I'll come out of the palace to see the city this time. You were also brought back by the Prime Minister back then. Now that I have attained the Golden Immortal, I wonder if I am willing to enter the court to be a worshiper?"
The great man treated those who became golden immortals quite generously. Even if they did nothing, they had extremely good subsidies. If they could make contributions, they could also occupy a position in heaven and earth. In recent years, many demons who were nostalgic in the world have joined the human race, and many people in the Golden Immortal Realm have made offerings.
Seeing that they broke through, Liu Xie naturally wanted to recruit them into the court.
"Since Your Majesty has spoken, my sisters are naturally willing. Now this method of replenishment is of no use to my sister. It is cheaper for those fox people to lock up the Seven Immortal Pavilion and follow His Majesty to be a free golden immortal."
"Very good." Liu Xie nodded with a smile. Now there are more and more Golden Immortals worshipped in the human race. I don't know what the human race is now compared to the immortal Buddha? After Lu Bu comes out of seclusion, he needs to talk to Lu Bu.
Just as Liu Xie was about to continue walking in Luoyang City, he suddenly felt something and looked at a region in Luoyang. A majestic aura spread out in this moment, instantly spreading the entire Luoyang and spreading rapidly around...
