The mysterious young man stared at Ji Xia, and there was no emotion in his eyes except for indifference.

Ji Xia's face was calm, sitting on the throne, looking at the young man in the light curtain.

The two looked at each other.

After a long time, the mysterious young man suddenly spoke and asked, "People?"

Ji Xia thought about it and didn't hide it, but nodded slightly.

With Ji Xia's jaw head.

The light curtain shattered suddenly.

The mysterious boy in it also shattered with the light curtain.

There was no longer a mysterious boy in the hall.

Ji Xia frowned slightly.

There was a little doubt on his face.

He didn't know what the mysterious boy's question meant.

"Ask me if I'm a Terran, and for what's the purpose?"

Ji Xia was puzzled.

But the light curtain dissipated, the mysterious boy lost his trace, and Ji Xia could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

"In short, as long as these demon spirits in the inner realm of ghosts don't kill, it will be excellent news for Taicang. ”

He continued to drink tea and practice.

It seems that the matter of the mysterious boy has not occupied his thoughts.

Except for dynasties that have already been slaughtered by the dead country.

Many other countries have finally ushered in a long-lost peace.

The footsteps of the Shadow Army of the Dead have always stayed on the realms that have been destroyed by them.

There doesn't seem to be any interest in other Hundred Domain races and creatures.

There was no sound coming from the cities of the dead that had arisen up, and not a shadow had appeared.

For most kingdoms, this is nothing less than a great torment.

For the army of the dead is like a great axe that hangs high above their necks.

Let them sit on their backs.

And the changes in those kingdoms that have been conquered, they also see it.

Mountains and rivers are broken.

The living thing is gone.

The earth is overturned.

A post-apocalyptic scenario.

But for Taicang, this period of time has become a rare time for development.

Since the Eight Demon Lotus Venerables went to the Hundred Domains, they suppressed many kingdom kings who dared to slaughter the human race, and strangled all the creatures that dared to kill the people who dared to vent their depression in their hearts.

Many dynasties in the Hundred Domains began to be obedient.

After all, the army of the dead doesn't know when it will strike.

But if they are guilty of being too firm, the Taicang Shentai will soon descend on their capital.

Bring the catastrophe to the army of the dead country one step ahead of them.

The deterrent power of the Taicang Kingdom is also vividly reflected at this moment.

Until May of the first year of Taicang Yuanding.

The construction of Xincangcheng has finally been completed.

This is the second huge city that can accommodate more than 20 million living beings after Taicang.

Located in the Xianping Plains, it is also a fertile land.

The original people of Cangcheng have all migrated to the new Cangcheng.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are unwilling to leave the place where they have lived for generations, and the Cangcheng City Government does not force them to relocate.

After all, the original site of Cangcheng will also be retained for the time being.

Probably, in the near future, this will become the acropolis of Taidu.

After all, if Taicang continues to be strong, Taidu will not continue to expand one day.

At that time, the distance between Taidu and Cangcheng will be too close, and a small city like Cangcheng can only become an acropolis.

Most of the people of Cangcheng are also willing to follow the call of the Taichu Royal Court and are willing to move to the new Cangcheng.

After all, Cangcheng has a more favorable natural environment, as well as a more magnificent and gorgeous urban construction.

In short, because there are two new cities of Taidu and Cangcheng.

The more than 10 million people brought by Que Le and Secret Dragon Jun were all resettled.

In the blink of an eye, Taicang has a population of nearly 30 million.

Despite the population boom, it has brought many problems.

However, because the Taicang Royal Court planned day and night and optimized the governance method day and night, it did not cause much commotion.

In the Choking Secret Realm, in addition to two batches of grassroots officials with a total of 100,000 people, they were also cultivated.

Each of them had been cultivating in the Choking Secret Realm for a year and a half.

The gentlemen who taught them were from the best of all walks of life.

A year and a half have passed in the Secret Realm, and more than two months have passed since the Infinite Wilderness.

In such a short period of time, cultivating such a number of officials, the effect of choking the secret realm can be seen from this.

"Of course, these officials who have been taught in the secret realm, although the theory of governance is not bad, but the meticulous governance methods still need to be honed at the real grassroots level. ”

Ji Xia and Lu Yu were looking at the third batch of teenagers who were being taught in the Choking Secret Realm.

Lu Yu opened his mouth and said: "It is shallow on paper, this is the king's famous saying, but in any case, being able to be systematically taught for eighteen months, compared to those who don't know anything, I don't know how much stronger the foundation is." ”

Ji Xia is dressed in gorgeous clothes, and those teenagers who are studying hard to govern are the pillars of Taicang in his eyes.

He told the ministers around him: "These young officials have walked out of the secret realm of choking, if they can handle their respective government affairs in an orderly manner, they should open the door to promotion, let them hold more important positions, and not let them stay at the grassroots level of the city government." ”

Per Xian and Rong Lou respectfully should be.

"Now that the new city has been built, it is time to give this new city a resounding name, so that all the creatures of other kingdoms can think of the wealth and magnificence of this city when they hear this name. ”

Ji Xia looked at Po Xian on a whim.

Po Xian was stunned, and suddenly heard from Ji Xia's words that Ji Xia had high hopes for Cangcheng.

So he opened his arms wide, folded his palms together, and saluted Ji Xia deeply.

"Xincangcheng will not disappoint the king. ”

Po Xian said: "Cangcheng has eliminated the caravan with good strength to go to Sanshan, go and take the ancient road through the world, broaden the channels for my Taicang to do business, and let Taicang see the world outside the mountain." ”

Ji Xia glanced at Po Xian approvingly and said: "You and I have thought of it, but no matter what, we must ensure the safety of the caravan, and now the Fuliang Dead Country is still hidden in the Hundred Domains, so we can't help but be vigilant." ”

"Perxian understands that, just as the king and the royal court have analyzed, before the Fuliang Death Kingdom completely kills the creatures of the more than ten dynasties, it should not make a move against other kingdoms and domains. ”

The sound of the strings is warm and resonant.

Ji Xia waved his sleeves and said: "Since this is the case, let's do it according to your ideas, but that ancient road through the world is very dangerous, according to the current strength of Cangcheng, it is too reluctant to go and investigate, only allow you to explore the periphery of the ancient road." ”

Perxian has always believed in Ji Xia's words.

He immediately saluted.

"Po Xian has been doing his best for Cangcheng for many days, as early as when Zhou Qingguo was raging, he has already done his best for Cangcheng, in order to commend Po Xian's merits, I allow Po Xian to name Cangcheng. ”

Ji Xia's words came out slowly, and many of the surrounding ministers suddenly showed envious expressions on their faces.

They all looked at Perstring.

Perchon was also flattered.

But he was not afraid to be polite.

This is the power that the Adi King gave him, and the reward that the Adi King gave him.

The Primordial King said that he could give the name of this great city of more than 20,000,000 living beings.

Then he has this qualification.

The reason is simple.

for it was the will of the Aunder.

"Cangcheng is good at business, and it arose from business, I don't know if it can be called 'Shangcang'?"

Po Xian pondered for a moment and said, "I also commemorate the lord of the merchant country in this name." ”

The ministers looked at each other and nodded slightly.

There is a sense of remembrance in his eyes.

After all, the vast majority of the ministers in the center of Taicang are natives of Taicang.

That is, when Ji Xia succeeded to the throne at the earliest, Taicang with a population of 600,000.

They all had deep respect for Ji Xia's father and for the Shang lord who died because of Taicang.

Ji Xia turned around.

His eyes seemed to have traveled many distances.

Fell on the huge statue of the sword protector in front of the palace.

stared at it for a long time, then turned around and said slowly: "Shang Cang?"

——

On the bulletin board in front of the Taidu Mansion, a notice was suddenly posted.

At the same time, there are notices posted in front of the huge landmarks in various streets and alleys of Taidu.

Today, there are 22 million people in Taidu.

This is the main political achievement of Taidu in the past five months.

Many soldiers and officials in Taidu spent five months to place all the people transported by Que Le and Secret Dragon Jun in the Empty Green Spirit Realm Treasure Bottle in Taicang.

According to the statistics of Taicheng Prefecture, today's Taicang is enough to accommodate 28 million people without any crowding.

Today, the population has reached 22 million, and the remaining 6 million population capacity is also deliberately retained by the royal court.

In case you need it in the future.

And from the next time the population is transported, it will be transported to Cangcheng.

Therefore, the current Taidu, because of the impact of many new populations, the literacy rate has also become extremely low.

Recently, very few of the Terran creatures who have moved into Taicang are literate.

Therefore, on the one hand, the royal court is carrying out large-scale education, trying its best to improve the literacy rate and eradicate illiteracy.

But a few months is obviously not enough.

Therefore, before these proclamations, special officials read them.

"Wang Ting has recently set up a mirror and shadow department, which is specially designed to produce mirror shadows, pass on my Taicang grandeur, and promote my Taicang civilization, and now we need to recruit 100 people with good looks and beautiful postures, 50 men and 50 men and women......"

As the officials read aloud the contents of the proclamation.

The people of Taicang who gathered in front of the proclamation all looked at each other, not understanding what the "mirror shadow" in the mouth of the officials was.

But soon there were people signing up.

The reason is simple.

The reason is that this Mirror Shadow Division is set up under the royal court.

It is the division and courtyard of the Eight Classics.

It is a difference to be able to enter it, and there is a good reward to receive, such a beautiful difference, no one must be able to refuse.

And the conditions are not harsh.

All they need to be good looks is enough.

The people of Taicang are enthusiastically signing up.

And Ji Xia was drinking tea in front of the table, looking at a book of jade slips in his hand.

At the front of the jade slip, four words can be vaguely seen.

"Fight for Life".

And when Ji Xia looked at the words on the jade slip seriously.

Rao Yin, who was sitting at the bottom, was fidgeting.

She took a small sip of the tea in the jade cup, and her delicate face looked a little pale.

Flawless cheeks, even trembling slightly.

She didn't dare to look at Ji Xia's reaction.

I'm afraid that Ji Xia will not be satisfied with her work.

After a long time, Ji Xia, who was on the top, finally rolled up the jade slip that was spread out.

Chao Rao Yin smiled and said: "The musician has a wonderful idea, no wonder this book of "Fighting for Life" can be selected by many officials in the royal court among many scripts. ”

A few months ago, Ji Xia had told all the ministers, monks, scribes, and generals about the banquet at the royal court.

He wanted to make a try.

It is to use rune images to shoot some specific stories and scenes.

In these stories and scenes, integrate into the civilization of Taicang, and even integrate some things that the Taichu royal court wants to guide.

In order to complete the problem of guiding the atmosphere of the growing number of people.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of Taicang pivotal personnel became the creators of the script.

A few months later, after the royal court had harvested thousands of scripts.

In the end, Rao Yin's "Fighting for Life" was selected, and he planned to use it to record the first "Mirror Shadow".

The content of the Chronicle of Death is very simple.

It is the story of a young girl of the human race who has been abused and devastated, following a mysterious strong man and going through a lot of hardships to go to the dream country of the human race - the story of Taicang Kingdom.

During this period, there were naturally countless hideous races blocking the way, wanting to eat them alive and skin them alive.

In the end, with the help of that mysterious powerhouse, they finally came to the Taicang Kingdom, became the people of the Kingdom, and finally lived happily in the story of Taicang.

The identity of the mysterious powerhouse was finally revealed.

It turned out that the Taicang royal court sent to many countries in order to bring in the people of the human race who had suffered a lot.

The story is in the eyes of Ji Xia, a time-traveler who has experienced the explosion of information.

Very, very old-fashioned.

However, combined with the current situation of the human race, combined with the foundation of the existence of the boundless savage image civilization.

Such an old-fashioned story may be able to resonate with the new people of Taicang at the greatest level.

Under the head of the Yuqian Palace, in addition to Rao Yin, there is also a figure.

It was a woman who looked to be twenty-four or five years old.

On her forehead, there was a purple rune, exuding an extraordinary aura.

It is not difficult to guess that she is a talisman master with a successful cultivation.

Her clothes were very bold, and she exuded an astonishing charm from top to bottom.

This is the Acting Master of the Mirror Shadow Division, Rou Wuyan.

Originally, he was a spirit rune master in the Heavenly Rune Pavilion who refined all kinds of image runes and illusion runes.

Ji Xia wanted to set up the Mirror Shadow Division, and this talisman master was also recommended by Zhong Quan, the master of the Heavenly Fu Pavilion.

The reason is that "the study of image runes, the thinking is imaginative, and the actions are eclectic." ”

So Rou Wuyan became the acting master of the Mirror and Shadow Division.

If the effect of this "Fighting for Life" can enter Ji Xia's eyes.

She can completely take charge of the Mirror Division.

"Rou Wuyan, you can tell us what you want to do with the video. ”

Ji Xia shifted his gaze from Rao Yin to Rou Wuyan.

Rou Wuyan stood up, boldly dressed to match her mature and charming face and posture, making Rao Yin on the other side a little dizzy.

Rou Wuyan bowed to Ji Xia, and said in a natural tone:

"The idea of no flame, the feelings of the characters must be real and natural, and people can't know at a glance that they are fake, but the supernatural scene must be as grand as possible to win the attention of the audience, and at the same time, it is also necessary to infinitely highlight the prosperity of Taicang and the love of the people of the royal court like a child,......"

Rou Wuyan's tone is straightforward, without the slightest disguise.

Ji Xia was slightly embarrassed.

"Maybe this is the legendary Wumao cultural output movie, right?"

Ji Xia said: "I remember that in the previous life, a certain Stars and Stripes country was the best at making this kind of movie, which was used to wash the floor and wash the wisdom of the people.

And now, as their predecessors, it is not too much for me to learn from them, right?"

Ji Xia thought to himself, and the eyes of Rou Wuyan and Rao Yin fell on Ji Xia's body.

I don't know what the two of them are thinking.

There is no way.

Since Ji Xia cultivated the Yuque Heavenly Court Sutra, his temperament has been affected by the laws of the Heavenly Palace, and he has become more and more profound and amazingly charming.

Coupled with his superb appearance, if someone says that he is a celestial descendant, there will not be many people who refute it.

Mirror video recording is not just a measure to make the new people of Taicang retract, Ji Xia has other plans, so let's not mention it for the time being.

The weather in May can already be called hot.

But the Taicang soldiers were all in the choking secret realm.

The climate of the Choking Secret Land changes with Ji Xia's will, so the four seasons here are like spring, the climate is pleasant, and it is very livable.

Of course, for today's Taicang soldiers, it is not too much of a problem to be hot or cold.

Five months, forty months have passed in the Choking Secret Realm.

More than three years.

Such a time-based practice, coupled with the magical effect of the clouds that envelop the sky over Taidu.

The Xuanfeng Poor Qi Army has fully broken through to the realm of controlling spirits.

A thousand soul warriors, a small number of whom have even achieved divine appearance.

The threshold between the three phases of Lingyuan, God, and Heaven is extremely high.

If there is no superposition of various effects such as Runshi Tianyun, various elixirs, choking secret realms, and many divine objects.

Even if each of these Xuanfeng Poor Qi soldiers is a supernatural power, he has the talent to break into the spirit control and achieve the ninety-nine zhang spirit fetus.

It is difficult to break through the realm again in such a short period of time and become a divine cultivator.

And the eight thousand Taicang Yinwei have all become powerhouses with more than six or seven supernatural powers.

Sixty thousand Furious Flame Army, 10,000 Shocking Celestial Army, except for the soldiers who have recently joined the Angry Flame Army, all the rest have successfully broken through to the realm of supernatural powers.

This kind of power is already an extremely terrifying power.

With the Yan Ming Sidu Great Array, the Taicang Angry Flame Army Formation and other military formations that suppressed the Hundred Domains, and today's Taicang soldiers can even directly shake the Hundred Eyes and Qiling in their heyday!

In just over half a year, the strength can have such an explosive growth, in addition to many divine objects as the main help, the Taicang Dao Altar, the Brilliant Light Heavenly Canon, the rich aura, many pills and other conditions are indispensable.

And this time Taicang's harvest is huge.

For example, at the time of the court meeting, the jade fold in front of Ji Xia's eyes can prove it.

"The Imperial Stream Division applied for 721 kinds of spirit gold, 41 kinds of wood, 74,800 yuan crystals, and three low-grade spiritual veins...... It is used for the casting of flowing houses and Mingyun ships. ”

"The Heavenly Fu Pavilion played the royal court, and the boatload of rune jade obtained from the great fu has been exhausted, and the royal court has applied for negotiations with the great rune, and a large number of runes and jades are traded for the engraving of various runes......"

"The Spirit Weapon Mansion played the royal court, two hundred days ago, six thousand Taicang killing armors have been cast in the Choming Secret Realm, and the things dispatched last time, whether it is spirit gold, yuan crystal, or spirit veins, have all been used up, and I ask the royal court to allocate ......."

......

One after another, there are excerpts full of requests for resources and property.

In addition to these pavilions.

There are also many city governments that want to renovate the heating in the city in response to the royal court's decree.

The reason is that the warm stone heating that is now popular is still too consuming of spirit crystals, and the heating effect is only limited to one room, which is not satisfactory.

So Wang Ting took the lead and wanted them to renovate the city and change it to central heating and cooling

The original plan was to lay pipes underground, but later, because the Taicang rune technology became more and more developed, the spiritual veins in the Taicang Mansion Treasury became more and more abundant.

Therefore, the Tiangong Mansion, the Tianfu Pavilion, and the Spirit Machinery Mansion played, wanting each city government to take the lead and import the burning gold from the countries outside the three domain boundaries.

Then from the glacier domain in the far north of the Hundred Domains, plunder the glacier frost jade.

Why is the burning gold to be imported, and the glacier frost jade to be plundered?

The reason is that the people of the Burning Gold Kingdom are not brutal, and it is also a country with developed commerce, while the Glacier Dynasty is just the opposite, and the Taicang army is moving, and there is no burden in their hearts.

Obtain spiritual materials, then engrave runes on Burning Gold and Glacier Frost Jade.

After that, a rune spirit array was laid under the ground of each city, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the temperature in the city at will.

"This method of temperature control was developed by the three palaces together. ”

Zhong Quan and Lu Case had smiles on their faces.

Zhong Quan said: "The advantage is very clear, that is, to reduce the consumption of spirit crystals, a giant city with a radius of a hundred miles, only needs a thousand yuan crystals per year, which is enough to supply."

And it can keep the whole city from the cold and heat. ”

Ji Xia listened to Zhongquan's words, and his face turned dark.

He threw the jade fold in his hand on the table and said, "If I remember correctly, in the past, if you used warm stones for heating, a city with 20 million people within a radius of 100 miles would only need 500 yuan crystals.

Moreover, in the midst of the compromises, you have to buy burning gold, and you have to plunder the glacier frost jade, the consumption of caravans and military travel, and the consumption of setting up rune arrays in advance, haven't you calculated?"

Hearing Ji Xia's questioning, Zhong Quan's face did not change, and he said calmly: "King Qiqi, five hundred yuan crystals per year is indeed enough for twenty million Taicang people to use a year's warm stones.

However, it is only enough to turn on the warm stone for two months every year, and after the sunset, if you want to adjust the temperature, you can't do it. ”

Lu Case also said: "The current Taidu is different from the past, such a solemn and luxurious city, if the building is still heated by a stove, it is easy to pollute the environment, and it looks very unsightly." ”

Ji Xia opened his mouth, thought about it and continued to try to refute: "The people of Taicang have different preferences for temperature, some old people like warmth, and some young people like coolness.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, we have also taken this part into account. ”

Gu Xuan, the head of the Heavenly Machinery Mansion, suddenly came out of the queue and saluted respectfully: "When the time comes, the Heavenly Crafts Mansion and the Heavenly Machinery Mansion will put on the shelves of the temperature regulating spirit weapons in the shops in various cities, and the people only need to buy this kind of spiritual weapons, and they can adjust the temperature in the room at will." ”

Ji Xia pretended to be angry, pointed at Gu Xuan, and said, "Isn't this an increase in the burden on the people?

Gu Xuan said helplessly: "Once the temperature regulation talisman array is built, the people don't have to use spirit crystals for heating, saving a lot of money...... How can a mere temperature-controlled spiritual device increase the burden on the people?

And it's not that all the people need temperature-controlled spiritual weapons, and the temperature regulation charm array can already meet the needs of ninety percent of ordinary people. ”

Many of the ministers in the palace who participated in the court meeting nodded their heads one after another.

I probably also feel that the erection of this rune array is very necessary.

Ji Xia's spiritual sense suddenly wandered out.

In an instant, he went away to the Dry Palace in the secret realm of choking.

In a luxuriously carved spirit wood cabinet in the palace, eight or nine space treasures are placed.

His spiritual sense swept over these spatial treasures one by one.

Two thousand spiritual veins, with no spare effort to build, in just five months, five hundred have been used.

All kinds of spiritual materials were even more consumed by one-third.

"It seems that everything is going to be the best, and the burden is even heavier. ”

Ji Xia sighed in his heart.

Retracted his spiritual sense, and reluctantly said to Lu Case, Gu Xuan, and Zhong Quan in the hall: "Since this is the case, it is accurate." ”
