Chapter 386: Expansion (6)

The construction of the three cities began soon.

At the beginning, more than 40,000 people were invested, and many people were involved in this construction one after another, and some even came from the secular world after hearing such news.

In the secular world, there are too few opportunities for those martial artists now, and the better resources are occupied by the major sects.

The secular realm has more than ninety-nine percent of the world's population, and the cultivation resources they have obtained are less than one percent of this world's, and for them, the resources are seriously lacking.

No matter how hard many people try, they can't see where the hope for the future is.

But there are more resources in the no-man's land, and as long as the security problem can be solved, the future of development is definitely much better than that of the secular world.

That is also something that many warriors who came to this area in the early stage to develop have proven.

In the past, those martial artists in the secular realm certainly didn't have the courage to venture into no man's land, and the demon beasts there were not something they could afford to provoke if they hadn't entered the transcendent realm.

But now the Hidden Sword Ridge has a certain strength in this area, and their vision extends deeper.

The places where the city is going to be built are already under their control, and there is no trace of powerful monsters, and the security has been greatly improved.

And from the layout of the Tibetan Sword Ridge, it is not difficult to see that Fang Hao's target is deeper in the no-man's land.

This gives them the urge to come and develop.

They missed such an opportunity ten years ago, and now they have a new opportunity that they don't want to continue to miss.

Now not only those people in the southern continent know such news, but many people in the western continent also know such news.

A year after the construction of the three major cities began, there were more than 30,000 innate and acquired martial artists from the secular realm one after another, and the number of ordinary people who followed them reached more than 100,000.

Many came with a few friends to adventure, but there were also others who came with their families.

There are some small families that don't mix well in the secular world and move over, and even some families that mix well have slowly moved over.

As long as there is hope, there will be people who will relocate there.

The arrival of these populations has accelerated the construction of the three cities a lot.

The construction of the city uses innate warriors, and the speed will be relatively fast.

The main reason is that some of the territory is open, and there is also the construction of roads connecting the main avenues, which requires relatively large manpower.

There are no big problems in terms of supplies.

The uninhabited area has not been developed, and there are many buried resources, whether it is steel resources or coal resources, which are very rich, not to mention tree resources, and there are primeval forests everywhere.

The construction of roads and bridges and the construction of houses are not a big problem with materials.

The biggest investment is the three cities, and during the construction process, some formations need to be arranged.

However, Zangjianling has still accumulated a lot of materials in the past ten years, and there is no big problem in arranging the formations of those three cities.

The construction of the three large-scale human settlements that Fang Hao had planned to take two or three years to complete had actually been completed in just one year.

Each city can accommodate about 100,000 people to live in it, and in case of emergency, the people near the city can also take refuge in the city.

At the edge of each human settlement, there are guards from the city guards, and when they find a powerful monster invasion, they will quickly light a beacon fire to inform everyone to move to the city.

Of course, they also encourage some people who are far away from the city to dig deeper cellars where they live, and hide in them if necessary.

After all, safety comes first.

If safety is not guaranteed, not many people have the courage to come here to produce and develop.

At the same time as the construction of the three major cities began, an announcement was issued on the side of Zangjianling, that is, all outsiders were encouraged to search for mineral resources in the area that belonged to them.

If you find mineral resources, you can choose to develop them yourself and then sell them to Zangjianling, but you have to pay 30% of the tax to Zangjianling.

In addition, you can directly sell the mineral resources found to Zangjianling, and develop it by Zangjianling, you can permanently obtain a profit of that mineral resource, or you can pass it on to future generations.

In the secular world, all mineral resources are not owned by private individuals, either by sects or by the imperial court.

The best mineral resources are owned by the sect, and no matter who discovers them, they must be handed over to the sect in the end.

Some of the less important mineral resources were owned by the imperial court.

Private individuals do not have that kind of power.

Because Zangjianling did not have enough manpower and needed to mobilize the enthusiasm of outsiders, it promulgated such regulations.

The promulgation of this regulation has made many outsiders boil.

As long as you can find a mineral resource, it is equivalent to finding a mountain of gold.

The mountains in the no-man's land contain a lot of resources.

Of course, the most valuable resources are mineral resources, but those are buried under the mountains, and you have to look very carefully to find them.

Because this kind of thing usually has nothing to do with those outsiders, and what is found is only taken away by others, so no one bothers to find these things.

However, when such an ordinance is promulgated, it is very attractive to find that although it is not owned by yourself, you can get a certain share.

In the past, everyone went out just to hunt monsters and collect medicinal herbs, but now there is another goal, that is, to find mineral resources.

The place that Zangjianling has now is too vast, and it takes a lot of manpower to find mineral resources, so Fang Hao can only stimulate everyone's enthusiasm through the promulgation of such regulations, and he can find more resources as quickly as possible.

With this incentive, more and more people are engaged in the search for mineral resources.

More and more people are coming here from the secular world.

There are even some big martial arts families in it.

Owning their own mine is the dream of many martial arts families.

Some big families have the ability to develop their own mines, as long as Zangjianling is the talk, give them thirty percent of the tax, and also have a lot of profits in it.

The main thing is that it is a huge inheritance that can be passed down for many years.

There are some big mines that have been mined for hundreds or even thousands of years without problems.

As long as they find such one, their family will be able to achieve greater development.
