Through the Azure Sky Eye above Shen Herong's head, Zhang Dongyun, who was in the Daming Palace, watched them leave Chang 'an.
It was hard to say whether the Huan Tianlong was Ao Kong or not.
If it was, he hoped that they could bring it back successfully.
Zhang Dongyun leaned against the back of the chair, looking at the reflection of the water ripples in front of him through the Qing Tian Eyes.
With Hui Ming's speed, it would still take some time to travel from Longbei County, where Chang 'an was located, to Xinyuan County.
While they were on their way, Castellan Zhang focused on his Dubhe Hall.
He was close to meeting the requirements for the guarding mission.
But he was still a little far from the construction mission.
Zhang Dongyun recalled the similar things on the Cerulean Planet in his previous life and compared them with the current situation in Chang 'an.
First, he had to plan the business and tax aspects.
Both the east and west of Chang 'an had their own people in charge.
But apart from the east and west, Chang 'an should continue to expand its business and expand its network.
Especially now, Chang 'an not only covered by Invincible City, but also Longbei County and Hexi County, which was gradually becoming part of the city.
If there were businesses like turquoise crystals or wood, they could be handed over to other people to explore. Mr. Dark Cloud didn't have to do it himself.
In terms of tax, as Longbei County and Hexi County were under his control, the local affairs would also be under his own political framework.
The imperial power would definitely not be allowed to not go to the countryside.
Of course, due to the limited cost of information transmission, even in this world where cultivators were so powerful that they could move mountains and seas, they still needed to work carefully in this aspect to see results.
Longbei County and Hexi County needed to establish their own translation network in Chang 'an.
The capillaries below converged. When he came to the Dubhe Hall, he also needed his own big blood vessel.
In his previous life, Chang 'an also needed the transportation and communication departments on the Cerulean Planet.
In order to gain authority, these two departments were even more important.
Chang 'an's future control and influence couldn't be limited to Longbei County and Hexi County.
From this perspective, agriculture, water conservancy, and so on had to be upgraded.
In the beginning, Chang 'an City took in a large number of refugees and solved the most important problem of food. It was Master Zhang who relied on Invincible City to forcefully open up the land. He used a large amount of spiritual energy as fertilizer and even affected the climate of the land to a certain extent. That was how he was able to harvest a large amount of food in a short period of time and solve the food problem of the people in the city.
However, this method could only be used within Invincible City. It couldn't be used outside Invincible City or Qin State Prefecture.
Of course, he could grow food and vegetables as if his life depended on it, and then ship them out to sell to various places.
However, Zhang Dongyun didn't like such an unhealthy way of operating things unless he had no other choice.
Moreover, he had to expend a great deal of effort on his part.
The lazy Master Zhang still hoped that the vast number of people under his rule could move on their own.
You'll have plenty of food and clothing if you do it yourself.
Of course, he could provide some help in the initial stages.
For example, the Hall of Heavenly Works could cooperate with the agriculture and water conservancy departments under the jurisdiction of the Alpha Hall. They could innovate farming tools and even breed improved crops. They could even research high-efficiency fertilizers in this world.
Once there were results in the city, they could spread out to various places outside the city through an efficient network.
Right now, what he needed to do was to set up these frameworks first.
Master Zhang hammered here and there, and bit by bit, he figured out the departments under the jurisdiction of the Alpha Hall.
Everything else was actually fine. As a transmigrator from the Blue Planet society, there was something that Zhang Dongyun was actually quite concerned about.
The bank.
If he could build an advanced financial system, it would have a huge impact on this world with a feudal background.
When it first appeared, it might even be able to strike down the surrounding regimes.
Without using force, he might not be able to crush them.
However, if he used the economic stick and the real stick to hit the Eastern Tang royalty, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Before the other party could engage in battle, he would be in a mess.
He might even beat them back to a slave society …
However, the awkward part was that Master Zhang himself didn't really know how to play that game. At most, he only had a smattering of knowledge.
Currently, the talent pool in Chang 'an didn't have such talents. After he gave a few reminders, the other party immediately understood and built the Blue Planet's financial system from scratch.
Master Zhang could only bury this idea back in his heart.
However, things like banks and bank accounts had a foundation for their existence. This world was gradually taking shape.
After all, the world here was too vast and too big.
Carrying too much metal currency was too inconvenient for most people.
Castellan Zhang was very busy in the Tianshu Hall.
The news that the Alpha Hall was going to be restructured and expanded quickly spread throughout the city.
Everyone rushed to spread the news, and they were all excited.
Similar departments emphasized related talents, and not purely based on martial arts.
This made many mortals, besides the cultivators, also have thoughts.
Of course, there were only a few who could stand out.
After all, the cultivators who competed with them were also extremely outstanding in other aspects besides martial strength.
The demonic path and the martial path might not have an advantage in this aspect, but the Daoist and Confucian cultivators were different.
When they were in the first realm, their actual combat experience might not be much better than mortals.
However, their souls and minds were agile, making it easier for them to learn knowledge or deal with analytical matters.
The higher the realm, the more so.
In the bureaucratic systems of the imperial courts of several dynasties, most of them were dominated by Confucian cultivators. This was the reason.
If mortals wanted to compete with them, they had to have expertise in some aspects that were different from ordinary people.
However, as long as Chang 'an gave them hope, everyone's minds were eager.
Zhang Dongyun was happy to see this happen. He didn't care whether the other party was mortal or not.
As long as they could help him do a good job, it was fine.
He didn't stick to one type of talent.
Just as Zhang Dongyun was busy with the Alpha Hall, the head of the Hanshan school, Guo Zi, suddenly sent a message.
"People from Northern Qi?" Zhang Dongyun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Guo Zi nodded. "There is an elder in our sect who traveled north to Northern Qi when he was young and made some friends there.
As a result, this time, an old friend of his came to us and pulled the strings. He said that the Northern Qi royal family intends to send an envoy to Chang 'an and wants to hear your opinion. "
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun's eyes turned.
Then he projected Mr. Dark Cloud and said, "Approved."
Guo Zi hurriedly excused himself and contacted the middleman to inform Northern Qi that Chang 'an was welcoming them.
After the message was sent, Northern Qi quickly replied again.
The envoy was immediately formed and set off for Chang 'an.
In the Northern Qi envoy, the deputy was in public, running back and forth, responsible for the specific matters on the way.
The head envoy stayed in the carriage all day, and no one could see him.
In his carriage, there was a young woman in addition to himself.
However, the two of them sat across from each other and just chatted casually.
"Your Highness, is Chang 'an really so powerful that the Eastern Tang can't do anything to it?" the woman asked.
The man in black in front of her was the sixth son of the current Northern Qi king, Gao Jun. He was also the head envoy of the Northern Qi envoy this time.
This time, it was he who pushed for the Northern Qi envoy to Chang 'an.
"Junior Sister Yang, just like before, you can call me Senior Brother," Gao Jun said with a smile.
Yang Yulin, the direct disciple of Misty Sky Peak in Northern Qi, smiled and shook his head. "Your Highness is the head envoy this time. It's better to follow the rules."
Gao Jun smiled and didn't correct him.
"If you really want to say that the entire Eastern Tang can't do anything to Chang 'an, that's not necessarily true.
At least, Li Xuanxin, Hong Xiao, and Qing Ye, the three Ninth Realm masters, haven't made a move yet. Many Eighth Realm masters haven't made a move either.
Now, only Li Yi and Situ Jinsheng have fallen. It's still too early to say that Chang 'an is unbreakable.
Of course, they also proved that at least two Eighth Realm masters can't take them down. Chang 'an is definitely a giant. "
Yang Yulin nodded first and then said, "However, the news from Eastern Tang might be wrong. Li Yi and Situ Jinsheng may not be the only masters who have fallen outside Chang 'an."
"Yes, that's why I said at least two." Gao Jun smiled and nodded. "They might have Ninth Realm masters."
Yang Yulin said, "Then they are definitely a giant."
The internal situation of the Northern Qi Dynasty was different from that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Northern Qi royal family, the Gao family, was not as powerful as the Li family in Eastern Tang.
Within Northern Qi, besides the current King of Qi, who was a Ninth Realm master, there were five other Ninth Realm masters.
Each of them was in charge of a sect, and they were all known as giants.
Misty Sky Peak was one of them.
Although the five forces often had conflicts with each other, sometimes they would join forces to suppress the royal family.
The royal family and the five forces were also on and off.
The two sides sometimes had conflicts, but they also often joined forces.
The most outstanding of the King of Qi's sons all joined the five forces to learn.
In recent years, the situation in Northern Qi was very strange.
Gao Jun and the others were scattered among the five forces, and the royal family supported them to rise up. Their strength and influence in their respective forces grew stronger and stronger, and they almost had the potential to become the leaders of their respective forces.
But in turn, this also almost destroyed their hopes of inheriting the throne.
However, with the various forces, on one hand, they prevented them from getting close to the core power, and on the other hand, they supported them to fight for the throne, and their status in the royal family kept rising.
Both sides kept betting on Gao Jun and the others, but also secretly guarded against them.
They both tried to rope them in and repel them, hoping to take advantage of the other side and cooperate with them internally and externally.
Gao Jun and the others were well aware of their situation, and they tried to take advantage of both sides to gain capital for themselves.
The entire Northern Qi formed a very strange balance.
"If not for second brother's interference, this visit would have taken shape long ago." Gao Jun looked out of the carriage.
Northern Qi and Eastern Tang had a good relationship, and they often formed an alliance to fight against other dynasties.
King of Qi's second son was the key person to pull the strings.
Chang 'an rose, and Longbei County bordered Northern Qi.
The reason why Northern Qi's reaction was slower than Western Zhou's was because of the internal conflicts between the various forces.
