Dongfang Sword's body was found in the treasure house of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yu directly cut off the enemy's head, grabbed the broken Yuan Ying of Dongfang Sword, worshiped his family on the back mountain of the Dongfang family, and then burned the entire ancestral hall of the Dongfang family.

Dongfang Yu opened the four treasure houses of this evil family, let go of the monks of Seven Rivers City to rob, and waited until these monks came out satisfied, and the madness that lasted for more than two hours ended.

The merger of the Shangguan family was unexpectedly smooth, Shangguan Xiong disbanded the entire family under the persuasion of Murong Dihua, and took advantage of the good opportunity given by Li Shaoyang to divide the family's treasury finances, and those children of the Shangguan family quietly left and fled from the West Gate.

Li Shaoyang ordered Li Mengzhen to take the shopkeepers of the major shops in Seven Rivers City and began to clean up the remaining finances of the two families, and after robbing and scattering the wealth, the two families even left 60 million square meters of Lingyu's private property.

Now Li Shaoyang's plan to build a city has financial resources.

The rest of the things, such as appeasing the monks and merchants in Red Moon City, and gathering the remaining soldiers, all these things were handed over to Dongfang Yu by Li Shaoyang.

Three days later, the jade city between the two cities rose up, and on the south side of the Grand Canyon, after the people of Wangjia Village and the rest of the Liu family moved into the new city, the rebellion between the two cities, which had lasted for many months, was finally over.

President Fang Tian recounted the population and reported that Li Shaoyang said that the two cities had lost nearly fifty percent of their monks, which was really a huge loss.

In the world of monks, population is as important as Lingyu, and this is a vast and sparsely populated world.

But Li Shaoyang was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "There are at least hundreds of villages and towns between the two cities, and we can move the villagers and monks of the villages and towns into the city, so that our population will be more than before." ”

President Fang Tian muttered: "But their cultivation is too low, although our population is large, but if the cultivation is not high, it is really for nothing to feed them." ”

Li Shaoyang took his newly built population book and looked at it: "The development of the city depends on the long-term, you see that in the hundreds of villages and towns around here, there are more than 6,000 young monks who have not yet participated in the sect competition, and at least half of them are talents that can be created. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at President Fang Tian: "You used to be in charge of managing the city sect, I think that after the population of Yucheng is relocated, we will directly hold a sect competition, so that a total of twelve sects in the two cities can re-recruit disciples, and I will give these sects unique preferential policies and give them subsidies!" ”

President Fang Tian had never heard of the city lord subsidizing the sect, and Li Shaoyang's subsidy was the magic weapon and the enlightenment, which was definitely the biggest benefit of attracting the sect.

The matter of the sect and the monk population was settled, and Li Shaoyang immediately began a bigger plan.

The big city he wants to build is the Jade City that connects the Red Moon City in the north and the middle canyon to the Seven Rivers City in the south.

To the east of the border of the Long River, the entire plain will be covered by new huge cities.

The monks of the surrounding villages will move into the new city, and the original village, Li Shaoyang, will be used to build defensive post stations and sentry posts.

The resources of the plains, from north to south, will build eighteen large warehouse transfer stations, which is the concept of logistics on the earth.

This is a majestic plan, and once completed, this huge city will become the largest city in the southwest county of the empire, and the most powerful fortress in the Demon Border Lands.

Of course, this matter was not achieved overnight, as far as Li Mengzhen calculated, the entire plan was fully implemented, and at least 400 million square spirit jade was needed, and more than 20,000 craftsmen had to work together.

Now he can barely gather less than three thousand craftsmen, and even with the help of other monks, the spirit jade is not enough.

"Take your time!" Li Shaoyang said to Li Mengzhen: "Our business route is about to open, and now the seven spiritual power springs in Red Moon City will also be reopened, everyone's good days have just begun, you discuss an overall plan with them, and we will implement it step by step." ”

Li Shaoyang watched the owner of the Canghai Golden Building leave, and deeply felt the lack of talents.

He doesn't worry about Lingyu now, he doesn't worry about the population, and the resources are everywhere, but he just lacks people!

The only thing that is easy to use is the Dongfang Jade rescued from death row, the barren land of Southwest County is really lacking in talents.

Although Li Shaoyang had such feelings, his current reputation reached the land of the imperial capital, and after the Red Moon City was completely taken over, not only the city lords of Blue Star City and Purple Sun City sent congratulatory envoys, and even the southwestern county guards sent people to congratulate them.

This can be regarded as an official admission in disguise that Li Shaoyang has annexed Red Moon City, and he can't help but be surprised: "I didn't expect the Southwest County Guard to be so easy to talk and acquiesce to our expansion, so Blue Star City and Purple Sun City are also so goodwill, aren't they worried about me continuing to expand?" ”

Murong Dihua sighed lightly beside him: "The Southwest County Guard Whip is beyond his reach, and after your giant city is built, it has made a huge contribution to the defense of the Demon Clan, of course he is happy to do it, as for the two cities of Blue Star and Purple Sun, they are not worried about your expansion, because they know that you are not so fast." ”

Murong Dihua had some objections to Li Shaoyang's expansion actions: "Your plan is too big, and it will almost bring down the Red Moon City you just got, not to mention Lingyu, just how to appease these populations is a big problem, and if you don't get it, something will happen." ”

Murong Dihua has a wealth of experience in city management, and she pointed out the disadvantages of blind expansion.

But Li Shaoyang has even more crazy ideas: "To solve the problems you mentioned, there is only one way, which is to keep expanding, and directly expand external contradictions when the internal contradictions have not yet been stimulated!" ”

Murong Dihua was dumbfounded, and Dongfang Yu and the others sitting next to her also had flickering eyes.

They all understood what the lord meant.

"Do you want to continue to expand and directly deal with the two cities of Blue Star and Purple Sun?" Dongfang Yu swallowed and asked.

Li Shaoyang laughed: "You guys, why do you keep staring at Blue Star and Purple Sun, the resources of those two cities have been exploited, and the outside I am talking about is here!" ”

With a flash of inspiration in his hand, he unfolded a huge map.

The southwestern counties of the empire appear as triangles on the map, extending in the southwest corner of the vast empire.

Li Shaoyang pointed to the map: "Look here, the southwest county is an isolated extension, the Sunset River in the east runs through the entire western part of the empire, and extends directly into the territory of the demon clan to the southeast, we cross the boundary of the Sunset River, which is the edge of the demon race!" ”

"Go southeast and invade these marginal places of the demon race, that is the best expansion strategy!"

Oh, my God! Everyone stood up, and the city lord actually wanted to expand to the demon side!

Li Shaoyang waved his hand and motioned for them to be quiet.

He got up and said in a deep voice: "When I duel with Dugu Changfeng in the land on the edge of the demon race, I found that there was only a ball of demonic qi there, that area was a jungle land under the mountain range, and there was only a ball of demonic qi at least a thousand miles from north to south, what does this mean?" ”

Everyone didn't speak, but Dongfang Yu suddenly said: "That means that the narrow area discovered by the city lord must be full of spiritual energy underground." ”

Li Shaoyang nodded: "Yes, the underground spiritual energy is so abundant, it has exhausted the demonic energy of the demon clan, such a spiritual power reserve has exceeded the great spiritual power spring, there is only one possibility, that is, the underground spiritual jade mine!" ”

Everyone exclaimed!

Li Shaoyang smiled: "Of course, this is just my speculation, I am going to take the time to explore, if there is really a piece of spiritual jade mine there, then we will send it." ”

Lingyu mine is an unavoidable thing, because in this world, Lingyu is the only currency of exchange, and the empire did not nationalize the mining rights of this currency, so the major cities and major forces have the right to mine Lingyu.

This is simply the biggest drawback of the Imperial Center.

Li Shaoyang is familiar with history on the earth, centralization and decentralization have always been problems that the rulers of all dynasties and generations in history have not been able to solve, but no matter which dynasty it is, copper, iron, and salt are all controlled by the state. Local mining is not allowed privately.

Only in this way can the central government control the right to mint coinage, the right to iron ore necessary for the manufacture of weapons, and the salt resources needed for people's livelihood.

In this world of monks, all this is let go, as long as Li Shaoyang finds the spirit jade mine, it is equivalent to controlling the currency issuance of the entire southwest county.

This is a bit exaggerated, but Li Shaoyang knows very well that no spiritual jade mines have been found in Southwest County so far, and the spiritual jade in the entire county is naturally circulated.

He sat down and discussed his next steps with his henchmen, planning preparations for expansion.

Just as he was talking happily, Xiaohong rushed in from outside and said loudly: "Senior brother, Su Huan's son is back, he, he is also seriously injured!" ”

Li Shaoyang stood up suddenly, Su Huan followed Nian Nian back to the Mingshen Sect, it's been more than a month, I didn't expect to come back today, and I was seriously injured?

This is what Li Shaoyang is most worried about.

He calmed down, let Dongfang Yu continue to preside over the meeting, and then rushed out.

Su Huan was lying next to the spiritual power spring of Tianya Xiaozhu, all of his body was covered with sword wounds, and three sword wounds went directly into Yuanying, cutting off the meridian connection between his Yuanying and Danhai.

Li Shaoyang was taken aback when he saw this injury, in this case, Su Huan would be equivalent to being abolished and cultivated, and he would directly become a waste, and his Yuan Infant would slowly shrink and even disappear.

The set of armor he gave to Su Huan was still worn on him, but it was already full of holes.

At this time, Su Huan grabbed his hand tightly and coughed violently: "Brother Shaoyang, hurry, hurry up and save my senior sister, she was arrested by those people from the Imperial Sword Sect, and she was locked in the cave where the master was retreated, and they said that they would kill my senior sister when the new sect master was elected!" ”

Li Shaoyang injected a stream of silver spiritual power into his body, and said in a low voice: "Speak slowly, what happened to the Mingshen Sect?" ”

Su Huan laughed miserably: "What else can happen, it's all expected by you, Brother Shaoyang, as soon as I went back with my senior sister, those people from the Imperial Sword Sect trapped us, saying that Senior Sister gave the practice of Jiantian to outsiders, and also helped you hurt Uncle Qianmang, and my senior sister and I persevered in the mountain formation for a month, and we were still arrested." ”

Li Shaoyang was furious: "The people of the Mingshen Sect are so shameless, they can't beat Nian Nian, and they actually use the formation to consume her spiritual power." ”

Su Huan shook his head weakly: "Big brother, if Senior Sister Su really wants to do it, she will be trapped for a year, and those people are not opponents, but they invited a scattered immortal to sit in charge, Senior Sister couldn't beat it, and she was seriously injured, so she tried her best to help me escape." I remember your words, you will definitely go to save my sister, right? ”

Su Huan's tears are about to come out!

Li Shaoyang gritted his teeth fiercely: "Of course, if the Mingshen Sect hurts Niannian, it will declare war on me, and I will go and meet them now!" ”
