Chapter 1952: 15: Qing Yu Zi in History, Completing the Loop!

[Tianyou Calendar Four Yang Year 1889, Pinghuai Department Zhao Feiyang, Moving Seven Mountains, gathering a myriad of trees, using the ’Pile Mountain Method’ to fill eight river courses, alleviating the calamity of the eight major river courses of Wuma Lixing.][The following June, six tripods were forged to refine the six energies of heaven; agricultural endeavors flourished, and Spirit-breaking Rice was planted.]

[By Four Yang Year 1952, the Wuma Constellation had no first-grade natural disasters across its territory, and the Kufeng Bureau, which had suffered continuous losses for many years, turned losses into gains.]

[Transferred by the Black Feather Army of the Demon Suppression Army, appointed to the Weihe Army, serving as the Fifth-rank Agricultural Envoy of the two armies.]

Opening the first page of Zhao Xing’s experiences, Fate Master Jing Yue felt nothing, but Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poison Emperor were somewhat surprised.

"A local Secondary Fourth-rank River Official, starting point is surprisingly low?" Five Poison Emperor found it hard to imagine how Zhao Xing ascended.

Though a local Secondary Fourth-rank River Official is also fourth-rank, considering the historical situation of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, his power was inferior to a sixth-rank administrative officer.

Fan Ye: "The Lixing River section of the Wuma Constellation was a heavily afflicted area in the past."

"Starting low, yet within a Jiazi’s effort, transforming the disaster area into fertile land, making Kufeng Bureau turn losses into gains, truly remarkable."

Five Poison Emperor blandly said: "My disciple, naturally remarkable."

"Even such a low starting point, he achieved what others could not."

Zuo Qiyu curled his lips and said: "Does it have anything to do with you as his teacher? Forging six tripods and refining heaven’s six energies wasn’t taught by you; it’s obviously the method of the Four Seasons Palace."

"The Pile Mountain Method is an ancient disaster relief method from the Ancient Hill, although it used Divine Woods for disaster prevention, the main method was the Mountain Technique."

Five Poison Emperor snorted: "So what, my disciple is just that remarkable."

Zuo Qiyu was speechless; was this old guy even listening to me?

"Isn’t it strange that with accomplishments, he was demoted from fourth-rank to fifth?" Jing Yue was curious.

Fan Ye explained: "According to Tianyou Ancient Country’s system at that time, this was considered a demotion in name but a promotion in reality. He was originally a fourth-rank local River Official, lower in status than a sixth-rank administrative officer."

"But transferring to the Military Minister of Agriculture is different; four thousand years ago, with internal and external troubles and constant wars in Tianyou Ancient Country, the status of Military Minister of Agriculture was far higher than Literary Minister of Agriculture."

"To rise quickly, the military was undoubtedly the best place to be."

"Hurry and check the rest," Jing Yue urged.

Swoosh~

[Four Yang Year 1983, Agricultural Envoy Zhao Feiyang stationed troops at Moon Valley land, in August, Ten Thousand River Demon King led three thousand elite troops in a surprise attack.]

[Zhao Feiyang used Moon Valley’s earth veins and Nine Springs for formation, Moon Valley leveled fifty thousand miles of red rock with earth split, killing three thousand demon race members with six downgrades and two deaths, with less than one-tenth escaping.]

[Zhao Feiyang was promoted to Fourth-rank Commander, conferred as Pingyan Marquis.]

This page had little to discuss, with Zhao Xing’s combat power, overseeing his own territory, a successful surprise attack was impossible.

Zuo Qiyu: "Tch, tch, tch."

Jing Yue and Fan Ye thought Zuo Qiyu was praising Zhao Xing.

Five Poison Emperor was somewhat put on the spot, only he knew that Zuo Qiyu was not meaning that at all.

Zhao Xing once again used the spell from Earth Advantage Sect to earn merits!

Zuo Qiyu, that wretch, was mocking his unskilled teaching!

...

[Tianyou Calendar Four Yang Year 2105, the attack from Ten Thousand Demon Country was blocked, southern border temporarily ceased fire, the same winter, Zhao Feiyang was transferred to the Agriculture Department, appointed at Buluo Prefecture in Southern Border.]

[During this period, the insect clan disaster occurred, deeply affecting the thirty-six bureaus of Buluo Prefecture.]

[Zhao Feiyang accelerated the growth of "Five-Colored Locust-exterminating Grass," protecting Ming Dao Bureau from the insect swarm’s threat, appointed as Fourth-rank Agriculture Department Supervisor.]

.....

"Why is he still circling at fourth-rank." Jing Yue was puzzled.

"Promotion wasn’t easy in that era," Fan Ye said: "The contemporary Tianyou Country Lord was secluded for crossing tribulation, state affairs were jointly managed by three kings, with orders coming from many sources, it was naturally prone to chaos, as the premise."

"This epoch’s Tianyou Country Lord is the seventh generation, and tribulation crossing isn’t easily achieved, without a Monarch’s suppression, other strong figures easily develop dissent."

Jing Yue nodded, the wealth and territory of an ancient country are quite vast, once an Emperor-level becomes the Country Lord, consuming epoch-long resources, it’s possible to advance further, becoming a Demigod!

If Tianyou Country Lord was fine, it would be alright, but he was secluded, likely unable to succeed, which easily breeds disloyalty below.

Fan Ye pondered: "Zhao Xing was a civil official again this time, still circling at fourth-rank, yet became the chief officer of a Bureau, which is considered good achievement."

"I checked the prefecture records, among thirty-six bureaus, only three had low erosion from insect disasters, Ming Dao Bureau where Zhao Xing was is one of them."

In a grim era, Zhao Xing needed only to fulfill his duties, without special actions, to stand out.

......

The virtual history continued flipping pages, this time the time span was quite large.

It directly arrived at Year 2954.

"Under chaotic systems, Zhao Xing became an official for eight hundred years before another opportunity arrived."

"This time he was back as Military Minister of Agriculture again." Fan Ye was somewhat sentimental.

[Tianyou Calendar Four Yang Year 2554, Zhao Feiyang was transferred to the West Desert Starry Sky Bureau, West Desert Thirteen Cities suffered prolonged drought demons and frequent Fire Demon Clan turmoil...]

While the four looked carefully, outside the barrier of the great hall, a small boat suddenly drifted over.

"Buzz~"

The figure on the small boat disregarded the barrier, directly descending outside the hall door.

"Hmm?" Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poison Emperor, who were alert, immediately looked over.

Fan Ye also put away the virtual history.

"Who’s here?"

Fan Ye observed the newcomer’s attire, slightly shook his head: "The Palace Gate Envoy of Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, usually dispatched when the Country Lord secretly summons ministers to discuss matters in the palace."

"Senior Zuo’s identity here is Duke Qi, being summoned is rather normal."

The burly Palace Gate Envoy in golden armor, upon entering the barrier, used a secret technique to transmit sound, vibrating the space.
