In the north of the imperial city, there is an immortal mountain, the middle of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the height does not know how much geometry, even Lao Jiu has never been to the top of the mountain. The whole mountain is very steep, and the area is also very wide, and on this side of the city wall, the cliff is like a knife.

On the smooth cliff, Lao Jiu made people engrave four domineering characters, "half of the country"! It means that Xiaoyao Island is half of the country he has laid for his own woman! And underneath the entire mountain peak is the real military production base.

Continuing the secrecy of the extinct volcano, Mi Baoer spent a lot of manpower and material resources to dig out a huge space under half of the country, as an important military production base of the Xiaoyao Empire.

In it, it mainly produces top-notch, standard gold equipment, as well as the creation of Qin crossbows. Lao Jiu and Mi Baoer have been inspecting all morning, and Lao Jiu is still quite satisfied with Mi Baoer's design.

In addition to that, there is the development of industry. Due to the north of Xiaoyao Island, the conditions are very bitter cold, which is not suitable for the development of agriculture. Therefore, Lao Jiu basically built the industrial site on the northern land.

Among them are iron ore smelting, charcoal firing, leather processing, etc., which are not affected by the climate image. And the firing of ceramics and so on, were set up in the south by Lao Jiu. At the same time, it has also established an agricultural production base of hundreds of millions of acres in the south.

This year is a crucial year for Lao Jiu, and it is also a year for him to lay the foundation for the future. But now, fighting at sea has become Lao Jiu's shortcoming, and the good thing is that he still has time.

Since Long Sifeng's side has not yet moved, Lao Jiu just has time these days, so he directly summoned all the generals of the Xiaoyao Empire to prepare for a special training. Because at present, there are still a large number of seventy-level demonic beasts on Xiaoyao Island.

There are even a lot of people living in groups, so Lao Jiu decided to improve the strength of his subordinates. After all, in the game, everything is based on strength. And the target chosen by Lao Jiu is the snow wolf in the north.

This kind of demonic beast, in the north of Xiaoyao Island, belongs to the seventieth level of the group of demonic beasts, and the population is very large. The Snow Wolf Demon Beast can be said to be the hegemon of Xiaoyao Island, in the north of Xiaoyao Island, there are almost no natural enemies, so their number will be very large.

This has already been seen, and most of the construction in the north has also caused many casualties among soldiers. So Lao Jiu decided to use this time to clear this magical beast from Xiaoyao Island. Of course, this is also to improve the strength of his subordinates.

This time, he directly led the team, and all the elites above level 60 were selected, and then all the personnel with the position of commander and above participated. An army of 50,000 was formed, and it pushed towards the north of Xiaoyao Island.

This snow wolf beast is like a yak, and its movements are very organized, and they are very fast, and they are very fond of lightning raids. Although Lao Jiu personally led the team, when encircling and suppressing the Snow Wolf Demon Beast, many soldiers were still killed.

This is also inevitable, without the baptism of iron and blood, how can the strongest king be born. It can be said that every battle with the snow wolf is a battle of life and death, and the two sides have almost no other choice but to separate life and death.

In this kind of life and death, the growth of fighters is often the fastest, which is much faster than the player's experience leveling up. The upgrade of NPCs seems to be a self-breakthrough. As long as you can break through your limits again and again, it seems that you can easily upgrade.

And the reason why Lao Jiu * is to establish his position in the army. Another purpose is to find a way to get all the generals to be promoted to level eighty, so that they can have a certain ability to protect themselves.

And the Empire itself has no background, especially in terms of masters, almost except for Lao Jiu, there is no one who can make a move. This is also a headache for Lao Jiu, so he has to do this.

At present, the Qilin City side is completely in charge of the forty thieves and Mi Xiaobao. And Lao Jiu is single-minded and cultivates masters on Xiaoyao Island. I have to say that the level of NPCs is much faster than that of players.

As long as the NPC has been fighting, it will have experience, and the experience is not low, and the experience is calculated according to the combat object. It took nearly ten days, and Lao Jiu led an army of 50,000 and pushed all the way north for more than 1,000 miles.

In just these ten days, the strength of these 50,000 people has basically increased by two to three levels, which makes Lao Jiu very pleased. Even if a soldier dies in battle, Lao Jiu will replenish his troops from the rear, and always maintain a combat strength of about 50,000.

On the afternoon of the tenth day, Long Sifeng's operation finally began, and that night, five or six thousand civilians were sent to Xiaoyao Island. After receiving the news, Lao Jiu rushed back as soon as possible, and this side was temporarily handed over to Ma Jun to be responsible.

After arriving in the imperial capital, Lao Jiu arranged these people together for the time being. Until noon the next day, the personnel provided by the Ma Army began to be sent to Xiaoyao Island one after another, and then reunited with their families first.

Until the evening, none of these people came to Xiaoyao Island, which made Lao Jiu feel very good. Then he instructed his subordinates to set up a banquet directly in the imperial capital, and while entertaining these people, it was time to give them an explanation.

Because there were too many people, almost six or seven thousand, the banquet was directly open-air, placed on the square of the imperial capital. And in the center of the square, there is a huge statue. And the statue is none other than Lao Jiu, who is pointing a spear at the sky.

Underneath the statue is a huge pedestal. At this time, Lao Jiu slowly came to the pedestal, and he looked at the people in front of him. I found that all the people had no appetite at all, and they all looked at him with some unhappiness.

"In the Emperor of Freedom, it is really helpless to do such a thing to you." Lao Jiu looked at everyone, bowed deeply and said, "Here, I want to say sorry to you first!" ”

Lao Jiu's attitude is so low, and those who can call themselves emperors are all overlords. This made the faces of the people below immediately change, and then they became a little frightened. For a while, no one moved the chopsticks anymore, and they all looked at Lao Jiu uneasily.

"I, the Nine Heavens, took the son of the first emperor, led thousands of troops and horses with Marshal Ma, killed out of China, and established the Easy Empire. After the recommendation of General Ma Jun, you and the others are all former Jiangnan sailors, and Yu can't bear to let you and others condescend to one side, so they made this decision, please gather here. Lao Jiu looked at everyone and said loudly.

"The place where you are is the Xiaoyao Empire, and the Xiaoyao Empire is surrounded by the sea, and if you want the empire to be strong, you need your help, so I invite you to come here. I know what you're thinking, so please wait for me to finish! ”

Lao Jiu said this, glanced around at everyone, at this time, Lao Jiu, surrounded by dragon qi on his body, full of domineering, and the people present were a little out of breath. It can be seen how strong his aura is at this time, thanks to the bonus of He's Bi.

"Anyone who votes for my free empire will have a house in the imperial capital, and in addition to the previous 1,000 gold coins for each family, each person will be subsidized with another 100 gold coins. And all the sailors, the military salary is calculated separately according to the official position, the greater the ability, the higher the monthly salary, the minimum is 100 gold coins a month, and there is no upper limit. ”

"Of course, if someone doesn't want to stay in the Easy Empire, then even if I don't have that blessing. You can still take the thousand gold coins and send you back to where you came from, and I will never disturb your life in the future. ”

"If you have anything to say, bring it up now, and as long as I can do it, I will never postpone it. If there is anyone who wants to leave, I will not stop me. ”

As soon as Lao Jiu's words fell, the people below couldn't sit still. Lao Jiu's conditions, I don't know, are many times better than Huaxia, which makes everyone feel like a dream, and for a while, they can't believe what Lao Jiu said.

"Big ...... Great, Emperor, I would like to ask, is what you said true? At this time, a young man who looked a little dark and thin, with courage, bowed deeply to Lao Jiu and said solemnly.

"Haha...... How can I deceive you? What is your name? What are the specialties? Lao Jiu smiled, looked at him and asked.

"The little one's name is Zhang Erwa, and his current position is captain, and what he is best at is to view the sky and position, and use the wind direction to operate the ship." Zhang Erwa looked at Lao Jiu and said, "I have a lot of experience in water combat, I grew up near the water since I was a child, and my water nature is also first-class." ”

"As far as your ability is concerned, as long as you are willing to stay in the Easy Empire, at least five hundred gold coins per month!" Lao Jiu looked at him and said with a smile, "Of course, I will pay the military salary, but you can't let me down." ”

"The little one is willing to take the family and follow the emperor, please rest assured that the emperor will not disappoint the emperor." Zhang Erwa was also clever, directly pulling the family and giving a big gift to Lao Jiuxing, and at the same time expressing her heartfelt feelings.

"Haha, good! You are the first to join the Empire, I will reward you with a thousand gold coins, I hope you will perform well in the future! Lao Jiu was in a good mood and said with a laugh. If someone sets an example, he is not afraid that others will not follow suit.

"We are willing to join the Empire and serve the Emperor, please accept our respect!" Sure enough, there are those who take the lead, and there are those who follow the trend, and this time, there are dozens of them directly, and they have begun to show loyalty.

"We are also willing to join the Empire and serve the Emperor, please accept my wait!"

"I'm willing to ...... too"

"We're willing to ...... too"

All of a sudden, the sound of kneeling and worshipping came one after another, and there were no more people sitting at the banquet in the entire square, and they all bowed to Lao Jiu.

"Haha...... Good! Good! Good! Lao Jiu was in a good mood, laughed and said three good words in a row, then waved his hand, and continued, "Each family will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins, and you will be the subjects of the Empire in the future." The secretaries are flat, we will have a banquet first, and then I will have important matters to discuss with the secretaries. ”
