Chapter 497: Civic Hierarchy
"Your Excellency, the elite warriors and sturdy mountain people of the Ancient Mountains have been cleared away! Hundreds of thousands of women, children and hundreds of thousands of slaves in the Taikoo Mountains have also been monitored by soldiers. ”
After exterminating the elite warriors and strong mountain people of Taigu Mountain, the sixth-level warrior, Kaidi, the captain of the Black Rock Army, returned to Zhao Hu's side and asked loudly.
"How long will it take if we were to move hundreds of thousands of women and children and hundreds of thousands of slaves from Taikoo Mountain?" Hearing Kaidi's question, Zhao Hu did not respond, but asked with a calm face.
"Lord Lord, the forests near Taigu Mountain are dense, there are many insects, snakes and beasts, and it is more than a thousand miles away from the nearest plain city, Huangyan City, so it is extremely inconvenient to move! However, if the lord is willing to empty the transport ship and load all the women, children and slaves of Taikoo Mountain, it only takes two round trips to transport all the women, children and slaves of Taikoo Mountain! Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Kaidi pondered for a moment and said.
The transport ships under Zhao Hu's command are all small transport ships more than 100 meters long, 80 meters wide, and 30 meters high, and if they are stuffed, there is no problem in carrying 10,000 women, children, and slaves at one time, and 50 transport ships can transport 500,000 people at one time, and nearly one million women, children, and slaves in Taikoo Mountain can be transported out in two round-trips.
"You organize, empty the supplies on the fifty transport ships, and transport all the women, children and slaves in Taigu Mountain to Huangyan City for resettlement! At the same time, send people to carefully search the forests within a radius of 100 miles, gather all the money, food and materials within a radius of 100 miles, and wait until all the women, children and slaves in Taigu Mountain have moved to Huangyan City, and then transport all the money, food and materials found to Huangyan City! Hearing Kaidi's words, Zhao Hu nodded lightly.
"Yes, my lord!" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Kaidi responded loudly, and quickly turned to leave, arranging for people to organize the relocation of women, children and slaves in Taikoo Mountain, as well as the search for money, food and materials in the surrounding area.
The matter of cleaning the battlefield is handled by his subordinates, Zhao Hu doesn't need to worry much, Zhao Hu found a quiet place in Taigu Mountain, took out the spirit stone from the space ring, absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stone, and cultivated the "Wood Fire Divine Skill" to improve his strength.
In the world of sword immortals, which respects martial arts, although Zhao Hu has the noble title of baronial lord of the Ultron Empire, is protected by the Ultron Empire, and has a large number of elite warriors under his command, his own strength is indeed a great shortcoming, which seriously hinders its development and affects its future.
After all, in the world of sword immortals who respect martial arts, Zhao Hu has no foundation, and now everything is built under the strong influence of the Ultron Empire, once the influence of the Ultron Empire declines, or he is deprived of the noble title of baronial lord by the Ultron Empire, then, everything he has will be lost quickly, and his life may be lost.
Black Rock Island will definitely develop at a very fast speed with his investment regardless of the cost, bringing him a steady stream of huge benefits, but also attracting countless peepers. If he wants to keep his things under the prying eyes of these peepers, he must have strong forces and strong force.
The powerful force Zhao Hu will slowly build, and the strong force is the problem that Zhao Hu continues to solve, therefore, Zhao Hu is extremely attentive and diligent in his cultivation, as long as there is nothing important to deal with, Zhao Hu will seize all the time to cultivate and improve his strength.
After entering the Sword Immortal World, the mana in Zhao Hu's body turned into a fiery red fighting spirit, and the wood fire divine skill he cultivated also underwent great changes, becoming a fire attribute exercise, and the mana that should have been cultivated was now all turned into a fiery red fighting qi.
However, Zhao Hu didn't care much about the changes in the Wood Fire Divine Skill! Because Zhao Hu found that the changed Wood Fire Divine Skill, with the assistance of the spirit stone, the cultivation speed was many times faster than in the Great World of Cultivation, which made Zhao Hu very happy, and he was confident that he would improve his strength in a short period of time.
Looking at Zhao Hu, who was sitting cross-legged on the pile of spirit stones, and Zhao Xin, who was guarding the side, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but secretly say extravagant.
There are tens of thousands of spirit stones under Zhao Hu, worth millions of gold coins, and every day there are tens of thousands of spirit stones that are absorbed by Zhao Hu or scattered between heaven and earth, which means that Zhao Hu's daily cultivation expenses are as many as one million gold coins, which is also the reason why Zhao Xin said that Zhao Hu is extravagant.
After letting out a sigh of emotion in his heart, Zhao Xin waved his hand, and a small pile of thousands of spirit stones appeared beside him, forming a circle with a diameter of one meter. Then, Zhao Xin's body moved, stepped into the middle of the circle, sat cross-legged, absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit stones around him, and closed his eyes and cultivated.
Zhao Xin is Zhao Hu's personal bodyguard, or the kind that has signed a soul contract, therefore, Zhao Hu gives Zhao Xin a very high salary, not only giving him a generous salary of spirit stones, but also reimbursing him for the spirit stones consumed by his cultivation indefinitely. That is to say, in the process of Zhao Xin's cultivation, no matter how many spirit stones he consumed, Zhao Hu underwrote it for him, so that he could cultivate with peace of mind and not worry about the lack of spirit stones.
However, Zhao Xin's cultivation of the Dou Qi Gong is not like the Wood Fire Divine Skill, which can unscrupulously absorb the aura in the spirit stone to cultivate, after absorbing a part of the aura, the dou qi in the body must be refined and purified in order to continue to absorb the aura in the spirit stone to continue to cultivate, therefore, Zhao Xin consumes extremely limited spirit stones every day, only about a thousand, for Zhao Hu's huge reserves, it is simply a drizzle.
"Finally a breakthrough!" Zhao Hu, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his closed eyes, released two brilliant essences, and shouted loudly with excitement on his face.
At this time, Zhao Hu smoothly suddenly became a bottleneck of a third-level warrior, and entered the ranks of fourth-level warriors, becoming an intermediate warrior, who could fight his qi and leave his body, and hurt people!
"Congratulations to Lord Lord for breaking through the bottleneck and becoming a fourth-level warrior!" Hearing Zhao Hu's excited shouts, Zhao Xin woke up from his cultivation, quickly stood up, and congratulated loudly.
Hearing Zhao Xin's congratulatory voice, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and motioned for him to continue cultivating, not to worry about himself, so he sat cross-legged again, ran the Wood Fire Divine Skill, mobilized the fiery red fighting qi in his body, and traveled along the meridians in his body, feeling the running route of the fourth-level warrior's fighting qi, consolidating his cultivation, and becoming familiar with the new power.
Three days later, nearly a million women, children, and slaves in Taikoo Mountain, as well as a huge amount of money, food, and materials, were all transferred to Huangyan City before the transport ship went back and forth, and Zhao Hu also consolidated the cultivation of the fourth-level warriors, became familiar with the new power in his body, and left Taigu Mountain by warship.
In Huangyan City, among the city lord's mansion that had been renovated, Zhao Hu sat on the main seat with a calm face, and Chen Dong, the city lord of Huangyan City, sat quietly under Zhao Hu, waiting for Zhao Hu's orders.
"Chen Dong, the more than 100,000 women who were robbed in Huangyancheng, you should properly resettle, those who are willing to return to their original families can return to their original families, those who are unwilling to return to their original families, can re-establish their families, those who are unwilling to return to their original families, and those who are not willing to re-establish their families, you will organize them and help the laborers do some laundry, cooking, and sewing clothes, so that they can earn some money to support themselves!
There are hundreds of thousands of slaves in Taikoo Mountain, and we can't just liberate them and let them enjoy the same treatment as laborers! They must work for free for three years before they can be free and enjoy the same treatment as laborers! Of course, within three years, slaves with outstanding performance can be discharged from slavery status in advance and obtain freedom, and some slaves who have made great contributions can enter the system of the lord's mansion and become administrators! The specific rules will be promulgated in the form of the law of the Great Qin Territory after I return to the capital!
As for the women of Taikoo Mountain, you choose beautiful rewards for those who have done meritorious deeds, and the rest are temporarily organized to do some simple work, and after three years, give them freedom! At the same time, during the three-year work period, those who perform well can get free themselves in advance, and those who are excellent can also enter the management system of the lord's mansion! The specific situation, after returning to the capital, will be promulgated in the form of the law of the Great Qin Territory. After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Zhao Hu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Chen Dong below with a calm face and said slowly.
"Don't worry, lord, I promise to complete the mission!" Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Chen Dong immediately responded loudly.
Hearing Chen Dong's assurance, Zhao Hu smiled slightly, explained some of his things, and left a brigade of more than 1,000 elite soldiers to maintain the safety and stability of Huangyan City, and then took a battleship to lead the fleet and galloped away in the direction of the capital.
After returning to the capital, Zhao Hu began to think about the feasibility of the civic hierarchy, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of the hierarchy! Hierarchies are everywhere, from ancient times to the present, from the world of cultivation to the world of science and technology, from the imperial system to the democratic system, all of them have hierarchies.
In the world of science and technology in the world of cultivation and the imperial system, the hierarchy exists in every corner of the world of cultivation and the imperial system, while in the democratic system of the world of science and technology, the hierarchy is hidden in the shadows, hidden in countless laws and regulations.
