To some extent, in order to have developed trade, a certain amount of people must be liberated from the land.
In general, this world was still an agricultural society.
Fortunately, the Hall of Heavenly Works had not been idle.
In the early days, Chen Yu did it himself. Now, more and more talents gathered to improve the farming tools and fertilizers. It was not a big problem to feed the people in Chang 'an.
Even if there was a disaster or a flood, Master Zhang could intervene.
Like I said before, I don't have enough technology, but I have enough cultivators …
At the very least, artificial rainfall, flood control, and disaster prevention were not difficult.
Cultivators who had reached a certain level could certainly do such things.
In terms of pure strength, cultivators who had reached a certain level could completely defeat the most powerful construction machines on the Cerulean Planet in Zhang Dongyun's previous life.
Even some delicate operations could be done. It all depended on whether one had the idea or not.
However, with the exception of the little monk Hui Ming and a few other exceptions, the cultivators of this world would definitely not be willing to do such a thing.
It did not matter that they were unwilling to do it. After entering Chang 'an, they would naturally be willing to do it.
In fact, similar to hard labor, the cultivators who were captured and imprisoned in Chang 'an feared the most, even more than death and torture.
Perhaps it could be regarded as an all-round destruction from the mind to the body, especially the extreme humiliation and unwillingness in the mind.
Zhang Dongyun was too lazy to care about the details.
If he asked you to do it, you must do it honestly in Chang 'an.
With the help of many factors, the agricultural production in Chang 'an was not a problem at all.
If there was a problem, it was that all the policies had not been implemented for a long time.
Some policies needed time to take effect.
However, it was not a big problem to squeeze a certain amount of people out of the land.
But how to do the so-called trade needed to be carefully considered.
The Eastern Border, the Central Region, the Northern Mang, and the Western Regions all had their own trade systems.
When Zhang Dongyun was in the Eastern Border, he had actually completed a related task in Chang 'an.
In the whole Dong Sheng Divine Continent, only the Southern Wilderness was behind in this aspect.
The places where the demonic cultivators of the human race lived were better. The territories occupied by the demon race were much more primitive in this aspect.
But even without considering the Southern Wilderness, Zhang Dongyun speculated that the current trade in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent did not meet the system's criteria.
He still had to do something in Chang 'an.
Zhang Dongyun had a few ideas, but he needed capable people to carry them out.
It would be difficult to find out among the cultivators.
After all, the cultivators in this world could be said to have all been released from their jobs.
At this time, the advantage of the Confucian cultivators.
Regardless of their character, as long as the Confucian cultivators of this world were willing to put down their pride and seriously study, no matter what kind of knowledge they learned, they would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
The higher the cultivation state of a great Confucian scholar, as long as he was willing to help the people, the more talented he would be.
Of course, all of this was based on the standard of "talent". "Virtue" had to be looked at in person.
But at least, the Confucian cultivators of cultivators to change to Chang's...
Under Zhang Dongyun's guidance, the person in charge of the entire Central Plains was the 13th Realm Confucian Grandmaster Chu Xin.
In the other four continents, as well as the various middle and low-level local governments of the Central Plains, even if the person in charge was not a Confucian cultivator, there would definitely be a large number of Confucian cultivators helping him.
This was to make the best use of everything.
No one could deceive Master Zhang in Invincible City. But if Master Zhang wanted to be a carefree boss most of the time, he naturally had to set up the corresponding supervision and restrictions. Only in this way could he achieve as much "automation" as possible...
It was precisely for this reason that Zhang Dongyun was considering the people in charge of trade and commerce. He would first select people from the Confucian cultivators under his command.
Professional matters naturally had to be done by professional people.
As long as the policies, environment, and conditions were in place, there would naturally be merchants who would act upon hearing the news and become bolder and bolder.
But to make them move, Chang 'an still had to have a leading department.
Zhang Dongyun now wanted to choose a leader for this department.
After searching for a while, a person that he hadn't expected to see at the very beginning appeared before his eyes.
Lou Yu.
Speaking of which, Zhang Dongyun had met her once before. She was a very capable woman.
She was Lou Ning's younger sister and had followed Lou Ning to conquer the world from a young age, establishing the foundation of the former Great Yin Dynasty.
Later, she followed Lou Ning and pledged allegiance to Chang 'an.
When the Yin Dynasty pledged allegiance to Chang 'an, there were naturally different opinions within.
After all, they had sold themselves out without even fighting a battle. Anyone would have muttered in their hearts.
Even with Lou Ning's identity as the founding monarch of the country, he could not gather everyone's hearts in a short time.
Lou Yu followed her elder brother and used both kindness and authority to suppress the opposing voices within the Yin Dynasty.
When Chang 'an was conquering the Central Plains and even the Western Regions, Lou Yu followed Lou Ning to battle in the north and south, accumulating many merits.
After receiving guidance from Chang 'an as a reward, Lou Yu's cultivation rose from the eleventh realm to the twelfth realm of the martial path.
Lou Yu did not go with Lou Ning when he was appointed as the Northern Mang Protector-General.
Even without her elder brother, Chang 'an placed her in an important position and directly transferred her to the central command of the Imperial Pivot Hall.
However, in the Imperial Pivot Hall, she was mostly in charge of supervising and similar tasks.
Chang 'an had the Heaven Punishment Hall and the Idle Sky Hall. The former was in charge of law enforcement, while the latter was in charge of intelligence gathering.
However, it was common for several departments to supervise each other.
The Imperial Pivot Hall naturally had its own supervision department. While keeping a tight watch on the Heaven Punishment Hall, the Idle Sky Hall, and other places.
Zhang Dongyun had originally planned to let her train for a period of time before transferring her to the Heaven Punishment Hall to take charge of it.
Chang 'an was not a small place now. Naturally, the Heaven Punishment Hall was not only in charge of a small place now.
To a certain extent, the entire Dong Sheng Divine Continent was under the supervision of the Heaven Punishment Hall. There were countless halls spread out everywhere.
Lou Yu's performance was outstanding, so Zhang Dongyun naturally did not mind adding more responsibilities to her.
As for the fact that both siblings held high positions, Zhang Dongyun didn't really care about it.
Lou Ning and Lou Yu's loyalty was trustworthy.
Taking ten thousand steps back, if they really did not distinguish between public and private matters, there would naturally be countless people who feared the siblings and wanted nothing more than to throw them off their pedestals.
What Master Zhang needed to do sometimes was to trust and support them.
Of course, he had to control his actions well.
The Emperor favored Tai Long. If they really had a problem and were overflowing with arrogance, others would not dare to raise any problems.
Although the truth could not be hidden from Zhang Dongyun's eyes, he naturally did not wish for things to reach that stage.
As for Lou Yu, it was likely that she would not be able to go to the Heaven Punishment Hall for a very long time.
After some investigation, Zhang Dongyun was shocked to discover that Lou Ning's younger sister was more suited to managing trade than being an iron-faced judge.
Confucian cultivators had an advantage, but that did not mean that other cultivators would not be able to do it.
Some people were born with talent. Even if they did not walk the path of cultivation, they could still manage this matter well.
"Go ahead and do it."
Zhang Dongyun summoned Lou Yu and gave her some instructions.
When he said "go ahead and do it", he was sincere. He believed that Lou Yu had the ability to do so.
On the other hand, Lou Yu herself was a little uneasy.
Even she felt excited when His Majesty personally summoned her. After accepting the task, she felt even more uneasy, afraid that she would let down Zhang Dongyun's trust.
Zhang Dongyun watched as Lou Yu left, his heart filled with anticipation.
After she returned, she did not immediately start her work. Instead, she first rushed to various places, traveling between the Central Plains, Eastern Border, Northern Mang, Western Regions, and even Southern Wilderness. She continuously investigated the situation and understood various aspects of information.
When Zhang Dongyun saw this, he smiled.
To be able to reach this step, she had already made a good start.
As such, Master Zhang could slack off again … no, he could focus on improving his own cultivation.
…
Within the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, matters related to trade and transportation gradually began to stir.
Under the rule of Chang 'an, the situation stabilized in a short time and started to show shocking vitality.
But outside the Dong Sheng Divine Continent, besides the surging undercurrents, they gradually began to turn into bright waves, slapping towards the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Above the Desolate Sea, at this moment, Buddha's Light soared into the sky and shrouded the surroundings.
Although the pure lands of Buddhism were not connected, they covered the vast sea area, as if a continent had been filled up above the Desolate Sea.
And in the southwest direction of the sea, streaks of green light soared into the sky. An extremely ominous aura was emitted from it, full of bloody and murderous intent.
The ferocious green light and fog collided with the benevolent Buddha's Light. The two sides were tit for tat and could not coexist.
In the green light and fog, there were spiritual lights faintly piercing through the sky above, revealing the dark universe.
In the universe, there were specks of starlight. In the corresponding light and fog, there were also many stars rising and falling.
A large number of stars gathered together, as if they had turned into a river of stars that had descended to the human world.
This was the important characteristic of the twelfth realm of the Demon Clan, which was also the third realm of the Demon Emperor, the Galaxy Realm.
The light and fog dispersed, surrounded by the river of stars, and an extremely ferocious strange beast appeared from it. It spoke in human language, "Go back to your Dong Sheng Divine Continent. Don't come to the south. This is the territory of my clan!"
The big demon's face was ferocious, revealing an extremely stubborn and ferocious expression. It was a Suanni.
In the pure land of Buddhism, under the cover of a Buddha-like Dharmakaya, Monk Hui Jing put his palms together, "This place is far from the Nanzhan Continent, but close to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent. How can it be the territory of your Suanni?"
The Suanni shouted, "Shut up! You are approaching day by day. Do you think we are blind? "
Beside Monk Hui Jing, another young monk stood and said, "We are under the orders of the City Master of Chang 'an to explore the sea. We have no intention to offend your clan, but your clan has no right to interfere with our actions. Although we do not want to see a bloody disaster, if you insist on crossing the sea to force us, then we can only offend you."
"If we want to see blood, it will be your blood!" The Suanni was furious and immediately pounced on Hui Ming.
"Buddha is merciful. Please forgive us for our sins."
The monks of Bodhi Temple and the two brothers, Hui Jing and Hui Ming, put their palms together and then fearlessly went up to fight with the demons.
