Chapter 816: Change

After looking at it for a long time, Jingchen smiled slightly, looked at the heads of the various families sitting on both sides again, and said slowly, "First of all, thank you for your enthusiastic registration, just now I took a rough look, the families registered in each city have reached two, or even above, the cities where the two families have signed up, there is no need to carry out the next round of screening, and in cities where multiple families have registered, I will arrange someone to screen your qualifications until there are two families left." ”

"What?!" The heads of those powerful families were stunned, and some even exclaimed, they really didn't expect that the people in charge of these cities would be settled so quickly, and what made them even more unacceptable was that they didn't even have the strength to compete, so they were completely eliminated?

According to what these family heads thought at the beginning, no matter what, as long as the new lord wants to implement the policy of autonomy, cooperating with their families is an inevitable result, after all, their families are in various cities, and it can be said that they have infiltrated all walks of life, these people really dare not imagine that Jingchen has any reason not to cooperate with them.

It's a pity that the reality is so cruel, Jing Chen, the third prince of the Holy Spirit Empire and the new lord of the Gamma Province, obviously has no intention of changing his decision, and for those family dissatisfactions and disbelief, Jing Chen even ignored them at all.

Smiling and glancing at the family heads below who were happy, worried, frightened, or nervous, Jingchen slowly stood up and said indifferently, "I didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly today, here, I thank you again for all the family representatives who came to celebrate my inauguration, Jingchen I only thank you for your support on behalf of myself, and at the same time, I also want to congratulate those families who already have the right to govern, in the next year, I hope you can run your city well and strive to exceed the set goals." ”

When the words fell, Jingchen obviously didn't want to stay longer, turned around and was about to leave, at this moment, those family heads who didn't get any benefits were anxious, but before they could speak, someone spoke more anxiously than them, only to hear a family head who already had the right to govern said with some hesitation, "Your Highness, wait, wait a minute!"

Jingchen turned his head to look at the man, and saw that the other party was the head of a family that he was "planning", smiled slightly, and asked gently, "What's wrong, is there anything unclear?"

The head of the family hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "Your Highness, you also know that our family, which originally grew up in business, does not have much experience in managing cities, and if we want to manage a city, it seems that our strength is also a little insufficient. As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately resonated with many family owners who also obtained the administrative power of the city.

Although these families have obtained the administrative power of the city, but if they want to implement the tax, they cannot ensure the full implementation of the tax policy without the corresponding strength, although they can also make that money in their own clan, but it is not a long-term solution to do this, since Jingchen wants to implement this administrative system, then this problem must also be handed over to this highness to solve.

At this moment, the heads of those big families who have not obtained administrative power are going to hate the head of the family who came out to speak, what this person means, it is clear that they are big families, except for them, who can threaten these families to levy taxes in the local area, of course, the heads of these big families just now do plan not to pay taxes, so that these families who have the right to govern will finally be completely confiscated.

Smiling slightly, Jingchen's heart was about to bloom with a smile at this moment, originally he planned to arrange an enchanted puppet made by himself in each city, this kind of enchanted puppet is Jingchen's characteristics, which can not only facilitate Jingchen's grasp of the actual situation of each city, but also help Jingchen monitor some ill-intentioned families, but just now, Jingchen has not found any good reason to plant these enchanted puppets.

Jing Chen naturally understood in his heart that if these puppets were forcibly placed in these cities so bluntly, not to mention those families who did not have the right to govern, even if they had the power to govern, I am afraid that there would be some backlash, which would not be conducive to the implementation of his ideas. And the words of this family head undoubtedly helped Jingchen solve this problem, in the name of maintaining the implementation of the law, it is really better, so that these families who are not the strongest can manage their cities with peace of mind, and they can also use the purpose of monitoring these people, which is really a lot of one stone.

Although he was already so happy in his heart, Jing Chen still pretended to be worried, and said, "This is a difficult problem, let me think about it......" Jing Chen just stood there like that, putting on a contemplative look, and seeing Jing Chen's appearance, the hearts of those family patriarchs who were powerful but did not have the ruling power were all raised in their throats.

At this moment, they couldn't help but secretly pray in their hearts, don't let this young lord think of any way, otherwise their families will have a hard time, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, although the strength of those families with ruling power is not comparable to them now, but after having the ruling power, the growth speed of that family will definitely not be comparable to them. If these families don't have any hole cards in their hands, it's okay to say, once Jingchen gives these people some kind of talisman or hole card, then these big families who originally wanted to negotiate conditions with Jingchen may never turn over in the future.

At this moment, the patriarchs of these big families can't help but feel a little bitter in their hearts, many of them are secretly sighing, they really shouldn't be so greedy, if they hadn't joined this Laoshizi watch agreement, how could they want to embarrass Jingchen in order to get the greatest benefits, now it seems that they were defeated by Jingchen.

The world is like this, no matter how much you regret it, but you can't buy regret medicine after all, because in this world, there is no such thing, this is the rule of the world, the existence above all laws, is something that God must follow.

Just when the hearts of the heads of those big families were entangled by negative emotions such as struggle, remorse, and chagrin, Jingchen's face was once again filled with the kind of smile that made the hearts of the heads of those big families palpitate at this moment. I saw Jingchen raise his head and said, "I thought about it just now, this family head is very right, but all families have no experience in governance, and they will inevitably encounter many problems at the beginning, since I propose this way of governing, this problem will naturally be solved by me......" After a pause, Jingchen's gaze swept over the faces of all the family heads in the field.

continued, "In this way, I will send a group of puppets to various cities, the strength of these puppets is about the peak of the sixth level, which should be enough to help the families who are preparing to govern here and calm down the unstable factors in your city, of course, I need to explain that these puppets are not controlled by you, but these puppets will meet your reasonable requirements, how about you see my method?"

When Jingchen's voice fell, all the family spirits that had already obtained the ruling power, or had the qualifications to compete for the ruling power, were shocked, this was the best news that Jingchen brought to them after coming here, there was no one, although the news of obtaining the ruling power was not bad, but it was far from being comparable to this news.

Without the puppet sent by Jingchen to sit in charge, although their families have gained the ruling power, it is almost the same as nothing, after all, these families are not the largest families in each city, if they want to run a city well, the family that is stronger than them must be their stumbling block, and for this stumbling block, no one has any good way, otherwise it will not be the turn of those families to be powerful in their city.

At the beginning, the reason why under Jingchen's seemingly harsh conditions, the patriarch of the non-family would even rather pay for his own family and become the ruler of the city where he is located, is that he wants to compete with these big families who are on the head of his family, and Jingchen's plan at the moment, if it can be implemented, it will undoubtedly give these families a shot in the arm, and the biggest problem will be solved.

However, it is still the same sentence, a few families are happy and a few are sad, when the heads of these families who have gained the ruling power are happy, the heads of the most powerful families in various cities are almost slumping on their seats at this moment, at this moment, they only have awe and even fear in their minds about Jingchen, they really can't believe that this young lord, who seems to be less than twenty years old, has such a careful mind, and even this aspect of the problem has helped these families who are about to govern think about it.

At this moment, the heads of these big families couldn't help but think of a possibility that made their hearts tremble, did this lord have thought of this result before today, and planned everything. They really couldn't believe that all of this today was thought up by this young lord on the spot, if it was really him who came up with it on the spot, this young man's mind had simply reached a heinous level.

The heads of these big families do have some insight, and today's scene is all carried out according to Jingchen's plan, from the reaction of the heads of those big families, to the sub-level heads of the families in various cities to stand up, and finally to the installation of special puppets in various cities, Jingchen has all thought about it in advance.

It's just that how to place puppets in various cities, Jingchen didn't plan so perfectly at the beginning, and in his plan, the step of installing puppets should be postponed, mainly to prevent the backlash of the various ruling families.

First of all, although the execution ability of those big families in various cities is much better than that of these second-level families, they will inevitably have a sense of superiority, thinking that Jingchen will not be able to play without them, and it is easy to have a big tail.

On the other hand, these subordinate families, suppressed by those big families for a long time, will naturally have extremely strong expectations of the upper position, Jingchen is giving them at the moment, it is undoubtedly an opportunity, and then Jingchen only needs to use some means, these families will be firmly tied to Jingchen's chariot, although the initial execution ability will be a little unsatisfactory, but Jingchen believes that as long as he supports himself, it is only a matter of time before these families take the position.

After giving a reassurance to the heads of the families who had the right to govern, Jingchen stopped staying and slowly left the council hall, at this moment Jingchen had already done everything he wanted to do, as for the mood of those big family heads, it was not something that Jingchen had to consider.

"Dongzi, why did he come here?" Although he was puzzled, Jingchen still opened his mouth and said to the attendant, "Please." Immediately, his eyes fell on Yue Ran and the archon.

The two of them saw that there was something wrong with Jingchen, but they were also interested, they both got up, and Yue Ran said, "Xiaochen, if there is nothing here, we will leave first, and arrange the affairs of the three decrees, you can rest assured." After Jingchen nodded, the two left the study together.

Seeing the two leaving, Jingchen also slowly came to the outside of the study, and before Jingchen went to greet Anton, he saw that at the gate of the courtyard, Anton's burly figure had already appeared, and he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, Anton was a lot burder than he was at the beginning, he was originally taller than Jingchen, and now he is more than a head taller than Jingchen, at least about two meters and a half, not only that, but the muscles on Anton's body are also stronger, and he looks like a warrior who is good at strength.

Seeing Anton's appearance, Jingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, who would have thought that a person with such a good appearance would be a relatively rare magician? This kind of visual impact is too strong, but this is obviously not what Jingchen is concerned about, what makes Jingchen's brows slightly furrowed is Anton's expression at this moment, Jingchen can clearly see that in addition to exhaustion, there is a trace of pain on Anton's face.

didn't ask too much, Jingchen let Anton into his study, into the study, after the two sat down, Anton did not speak, but looked straight at the ground with his eyes, as if thinking about something, and looking at his brother who was born and died like this, Jingchen's heart was also tight, and secretly said, something must have happened, otherwise Anton, who has always been cheerful, would definitely not be so silent.

Sure enough, after a long silence, Anton spoke, "Boss, my father is dead. When Anton said this, his face did not change much, he was still so sluggish, as if he had been stupid.

Hearing this, Jingchen exclaimed, "What?!" his eyebrows were deeply twisted together, and he looked at Anton in disbelief, according to what Rios said back then, Anton is from the Earth Giant Clan, as the remnant of the ancient Titans, although the Earth Giant Clan is not famous, but its strength is extremely terrifying, according to Rios's speculation, the current patriarch of the Earth Giant Clan, that is, Anton's father, may be an eighth-level peak, or even a ninth-level powerhouse.

If Ríos's speculation is not wrong, then the death of this patriarch makes Jingchen too unbelievable, how powerful is that murderer to kill a strong man of this level. With Jingchen's current strength, he naturally understands that the gap between defeating a strong man and killing a strong man is simply unreasonable.

Many masters who have reached a certain level have their own life-saving methods, and at the moment of life and death, these strong people are bound to use these skills, and even if they are enemies whose strength is higher than their own, it will be difficult to kill him, unless the difference in strength between the two is too large, but this possibility is too small, after all, this era is not the ancient period, not the era when the mythical powerhouse still exists.

"Whew......," Anton continued, "That old fellow died to save the lives of the whole clan, not by the enemy. It seemed that he knew the doubts in Jingchen's heart, and Anton opened his mouth to explain.

After listening to Anton's explanation, Jingchen's original doubts had just been answered, but new doubts arose, what was the situation that forced the patriarch to save the whole clan with his own death. From Jingchen's birth to the present, the most tragic situation he has seen is nothing more than the invasion of the beast tide and the evil spirit incident some time ago, but those things are just lethal to ordinary people, and I am afraid that it is not a threat to the earth giant where Anton is located, you must know that the strength of an adult earth giant has five levels of beginner level, and some good strength, it is normal to reach six or seven levels, for human beings, the terrifying beast tide and evil spirits are nothing to them.

"Boss, listen to me tell me a story first. Anton's face seemed to be much better, and he suddenly said to Jingchen for no reason.

Slightly stunned, Jingchen really didn't understand why Anton was telling him a story at this time, but he still nodded and didn't ask anything, Jingchen believed that Anton must have his own purpose in doing this.

After a little thought, Anton said in a slightly deep voice, "In ancient times, the continent experienced a protracted war, and the two sides of this war were the aborigines of the continent led by the six evil gods, and the army of gods led by the creator god and Rachel, and there was a bloody war on both sides, and this war was called the first mythical war. ”

Nodding, Jingchen said that he knew that Jingchen knew much more about this first mythical battle than Anton, after all, he had completely absorbed Rachel's somewhat broken memories, although it was not very complete, but after Jingchen's patchwork and speculation, he naturally knew a lot of hidden secrets about that history.

Seeing that Jingchen seemed to know about the mythical battle, Anton was slightly puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just continued, "After that battle, the Alliance of Gods, as the victorious side, sealed many of the diehards of the six evil gods in various seals, this seal is extremely strong, the legend is that the creation god himself laid it back then, it is said that eternal life will not be destroyed, but unfortunately, the seal has been loosened recently......"

Anton's words were no less than a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Jingchen looked at Anton in a daze, and it took a while to recover, although he didn't know what the Creation God had sealed in those seals at the beginning, but one thing is for sure, the thing that can make the Creation God do the sealing is definitely not simple, otherwise it will not be the turn of the Creation God to do it himself.

Of course, by accepting those memories that belonged to Rachel, Jingchen knew that in that ancient era, not only did the creation god have all kinds of gods and powerful races, but also many gods and powerful races in the hands of the six evil gods, among which there were several single strengths, even stronger than the ordinary dragons of the dragon clan, if it weren't for the many gods created by the creation gods in the dragon clan, I am afraid that the dragon clan would have become history in the collision with those races.

I only heard Anton continue, "The place where the seal of the Creation God is located has always belonged to the forbidden land of the family, and only the patriarch and core elders can enter, so no one knows about the loosening of the seal. It's a pity that what everyone didn't expect was that after my father and several core elders worked hard for dozens of days to no avail, the degree of shattering of the seal suddenly increased a lot, and the formations around the forbidden land had been completely destroyed. ”

seems to recall that terrifying scene, Anton's strong man's eyes also flashed with fear, not only that, at this moment, Anton, even his body is trembling, looking at his brother who is not afraid of heaven and earth, he will have such an expression, Jingchen can fully imagine how critical the situation was at that time.

"Huh," Anton let out a sigh ......of relief, calmed his emotions for a while, and continued, "Not only that, but the degree of shattering of the seal is getting bigger and bigger, and finally even an evil aura begins to seep out, until this moment, everyone in the clan knows about it, but if this situation spreads, not only our Earth Giants, but even the Storm Dwarves who came to us in the first place will be implicated." So my father resolutely chose ......" Speaking of which, Anton could not say any more.

Jingchen patted his good brother who was born and died on the shoulder, and a sad look flashed on his face, although Jingchen couldn't understand the pain in Anton's heart at this moment, but as long as he put himself in his shoes and think about his feelings if something happened to his parents, he could understand Anton's mood now.

After Anton's mood stabilized a bit, Jingchen asked in a soft voice, "Dongzi, when you come to me, there must be something I can help with, you just say, as long as I can help, I will never postpone it, you can say it." "Jingchen is definitely a character who can stick a knife in both sides for his true friend.

Raising his head, Anton's eyes fell on Jingchen's body, hesitated slightly, and under Jingchen's eyes with a little encouragement, Anton said with some hesitation, "That's the case, according to my father's instructions before leaving, our Earth Giant Clan and Storm Dwarf Clan need to be relocated as a whole, and it must be carried out as soon as possible, but because our two clans have been separated from society for a long time, and they are leaving the place of long-term survival at this time, I am afraid that this year's food will ......"

Listening to what Anton said, Jingchen was slightly stunned, originally Jingchen thought that Anton came to find him, I am afraid it was a very difficult thing, he really didn't expect that it was to solve the problem of food, now Jingchen may not have much money in his hands, but the grain is absolutely abundant, this Gama Province is located in the east of the mainland, and it has been the main grain producing area of the mainland for many years, and has the reputation of the granary of the mainland.

Not to mention solving the food problem of the Anton people, even if it is to solve the food problem of all the dragon tribes in Dragon Valley, Jingchen will not feel any difficulties, after all, not counting this war, Gama has not fought for hundreds of years, and in these hundreds of years, there is not much else, just a lot of food.

However, Anton obviously didn't understand these situations, and seeing Jingchen's reaction, he thought that his conditions were too harsh, so he hurriedly spoke, "Boss, the elders also said before I came, if it really doesn't work, there are still some precious metals in our clan that can be sold in exchange for food, and our two clans, especially the people of the Storm Dwarf Clan, are very good at crafting weapons, and we can also exchange weapons for food." ”

Wei Yi waved his hand, Jingchen said, "Dongzi, don't dare to say anything else, I want as much food as I want here, not to mention those people of yours, even if it is the dragon of the Dragon Valley, if they eat food, I can afford it." ”

Hearing this, Anton looked at Jingchen in disbelief and said, "Boss, you're not fooling me, are you? My people are very good at eating, and they have to eat several bowls of rice at a meal." "Although Anton is also studying in Zeus Academy, he really doesn't know about the situation in the Gamma Kingdom, don't say he doesn't understand, even those elders in his clan don't know anything about it, this time Anton came out to discuss with Dean Ling Feng, and then heard that Jingchen became the lord of Gama Province, so he came to try his luck.

Smiling and patting Anton on the shoulder, Jingchen said, "Dongzi, Dongzi, you say, those people of yours can eat no matter what, can they eat more than the dragon? ”

Millions of catties, this number Jingchen is indeed not exaggerated, Gama is rich in grain, but unfortunately all countries in the East Continent are rich in it, so although the extra grain in the hands of farmers Gama will be purchased, most of them can only be placed in the grain depot to grow hair, which is also a matter of no way.

Listening to Jingchen's words, Anton's eyes widened, like a pair of light bulbs, don't say that he hasn't seen so much grain, even if it is the grain harvested by the entire Earth Giant Clan in a year, it is only tens of thousands of catties, which is enough for their clan to eat for a year, and the scale of this million catties, Anton really can't imagine, but he knows that Jingchen is definitely not a person who likes to exaggerate.
