Zhang Fan did not go to see the situation of those people in Zhongzhou first, but still chose to go out by day and night, and returned to the ordinary looking village in the mountains where the children were located without people's attention as much as possible.

Seeing that most of the children who returned from the Yuanban Department were fine, and they did not encounter any accidents, and did not find too many abnormalities in the subsequent patient inquiry and careful observation, Zhang Fan was somewhat relieved: "I have been lucky in the past few months, and you are still obedient and have not gone outside to run around." Now it seems that all of you are reliable and trustworthy, and you have lived up to expectations. It's just that in the future, you may no longer face the attacks of those who are close to the barbarians and the people of the rivers and lakes, but all kinds of flattery and flattery, so that you feel that you know that you are being flattered and co-opted, but you will still like that feeling, and gradually you will turn the people who are not very familiar with you into your own people... ”

Finally, Zhang Fan thought for a moment to sort out the language, and began to patiently teach the children in the following months, starting with the most basic arithmetic. Speaking of which, Zhang Fan himself is not a cultured person in this world, because he was in the rivers and lakes when he was enlightened, probably after he gained unusual spiritual power and superpowers, it became less difficult to learn words and even basic arithmetic and feng shui, so he completed his make-up lessons in his spare time. But these children from the Far Barbarian Department obviously can't be compared with themselves, and according to Zhang Fan's rough estimate, it is basically impossible for these people to learn basic arithmetic and even understand basic writing within a few months.

Of course, in the process of teaching these children in person, Zhang Fanzai also selected four children who were very outstanding in learning ability and understanding among the five hundred children, and the learning progress of these four children was obviously much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they could barely keep up with their own. There are also thirty-two children whose comprehension ability is obviously much worse, and they can't keep up with their expectations, but they are much better than others. In this case, Zhang Fan can only teach the four most excellent and thirty-two children with slightly worse comprehension ability first, and when assigning proficiency homework, different learning tasks will be arranged for the thirty-two children whose learning ability is not outstanding. In a group of eight children, each of them learns a part of the text. In arithmetic, one person memorizes a part of the basic algorithm.

Under such circumstances, it took more than three months, about 100 days, to finally have at least one child around me who was outstanding among the 500 people to become the "senior", and the other three children became the "senior strategist", and the four people were in charge of the four study groups, and even hundreds of other children under the responsibility of the study group.

In order to prevent bureaucracy from prematurely influencing these children, Zhang Fan also set up several other team leaders, such as the Discipline and Supervision Organization and the members of the Group of Ten. In this way, even the "cadres" in learning may not be the "cadres" in other aspects, and there will not be too many circles. Zhang Fan's extensive experience in the rivers and lakes still allowed him to gain many beneficial things. Including the methods that I learned in some of the lower ninth-rate gangs. These methods may not be of much concern to ordinary people when they are managed. But for Zhang Fan, who has enough wisdom, all this seems to be completely different.

After the initial make-up lessons were given to these children. Zhang Fan finally planned to choose his own capital. At the beginning, Zhang Fan had planned to choose to move into Zhongzhou City, at least there was hope that it would recover to a fairly prosperous level, which would help him understand the movements of the lower classes on weekdays, but when Zhang Fan thought about it carefully at this time, he suddenly felt that it was not like that. If the princes below want to take the initiative to deceive themselves, it seems that it is not impossible to create an illusion of a million people or their own field of vision? At most, it will cost a little more. In this way, the market, the palace, and the city wall are no longer their own barriers, but the sentry agents below who fool themselves. Whenever you have to leave, maybe it's hard to avoid those people's ventilating messages?

When Zhang Fan thought of this, he suddenly understood why the people of the Xishan faction still did not move into the scope of the Dongyuan Kingdom after defeating the Dongyuan Kingdom, but still put the core in a remote place...

Thinking of this, after thinking for a while, Zhang Fan also knew that for a person like himself who has a great ability to perceive information, the newly built place should not be based on prosperity and liveliness, but on how to benefit his unwitting "out of the palace" micro-service. At the same time, it can't be as dangerous as the near-barbarian Yunzhai or the headquarters of the Xishan faction.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan has some eyebrows about what kind of place he wants to find as a general foothold...

When Zhang Fan went out again, he found that the people of the Xishan faction had not fooled themselves, and sure enough, they had established decent rule in many counties, as long as it was not too remote, they already knew that the world had suddenly changed a lot. Although there is not much public resentment on the rivers and lakes, especially when many local chickens and dogs with relatively large public grievances have begun to be cleaned up, people's hearts are still a little panicked to a large extent. In the past few months, various places have been building various fortresses, and many people seem to have begun to have a pessimistic view: if this is always the case in the future, then this new world will undoubtedly not be much better than the chaotic time in the past, and it should be inferior to the original one compared to the time when the Dongyuan Kingdom was in the past.

At this time, Zhang Fan planned to go to some prefectures and cities that were still status figures to spread some convincing enough messages, and asked the phenomenon of large-scale construction in various places to be completed as much as possible.

Although Zhang Fan did not have any bureaucracy or even seal letters at this time, he found that the effect of relying on some rumors to create a rumor did not seem to be as bad as he imagined. Especially when you can show your unique ability and show your means in front of many people. The hearts of those who had once felt panic and uneasiness gradually settled down in the following time.

After about a month or so, Zhang Fan finally found a place that was suitable for his requirements in Dayun Mountain, Beizhou, Dongyuan Country: Dayun Mountain in Beizhou is a mountain range that is not small, and there is a high mountain that is obviously relatively high, even close to the clouds, and the three sides of the mountain are relatively gentle and flat, only one of them is a cliff of about 300 zhang. Zhang Fan roughly thought: he should be able to fly out of this cliff and glide far away at night by relying on the arrow Gu and even his unique gliding technique, even if the potential opponent deploys enough warning points within a radius of dozens of miles, it is useless. And most importantly: the clouds, which often approach very closely, are also largely a cover for themselves. These clouds and mist cannot stop one's own detection ability with unique mental power means, but they can greatly affect the ability of others to monitor oneself, and it should be regarded as a "fixed capital" that can satisfy oneself

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan carefully observed and remembered this place again. At the same time, with his own unique means at this time, one of the places on the cliff seemed to change color significantly under the bombardment of thunder and lightning, as a sign to guide ordinary people.

In the next few days or so, under the contact of Zhang Fan, many craftsmen and craftsmen within a radius of 100 miles rushed over after finishing the construction of the Linxian Mansion, and under the guidance of some craftsmen who were still somewhat capable, they were ready for the early work of building a new city near this mountain cliff.

When Zhang Fan saw that the people who came did not work directly on the top of the cliff, but measured the nearby places, and seemed to make various sketches and marks on the ground, he asked: "Do you plan to build a city in this barren mountain or wilderness?"

"This... Isn't that what the Lord wants?"

Zhang Fan smiled somewhat helplessly: "I am not the emperor of the Eastern Plains Kingdom before, I don't need the so-called capital." I don't even need a palace or a tower. In my opinion, the whole world is the biggest palace. Where I live, I can not make people so awkward, and it is enough for the next everyone... Zhang Fan felt that what he said didn't seem to be very clear, so after thinking for a while, he pointed to the cliff and said: "On that cliff, it is enough to build a residence of an ordinary large family with 100,000 acres of good land, or 2 or 300 acres of medium fertile land." Within a radius of thirty miles, it is enough to build a wooden fence like the perimeter of an ordinary army barracks. At most, on the other side of the cliff, it is enough to build an obstacle like an ordinary large household with thousands of hectares of fertile land, or a wall of the general medium rivers and lakes sect... If the specs are too much, I'm going to ask you... ”

Hearing this, the famous craftsman in Kitashu sensed a huge difference. Is there such a large household with 100 hectares of fertile land or 2 or 300 hectares of medium land?

Seeing that the craftsman seemed to be a little embarrassed at this time, Zhang Fan was also somewhat helpless, so he could only use the unique law of thunder to draw some sketches on the ground to make it clear, so as not to cause greater inconvenience by those people kicking indiscriminately: "The house of a hundred hectares of fertile land is not too much of a burden, for example, some merchant homes in Nanzhou are only about 100 people, and the scope of the house building is concentrated and erected, about four or five acres." Among them, there are about two acres of brick houses, and there are no two-story buildings except for individual corner towers. In order not to be repaired often and to be stronger, considering that this is Beizhou, I think it is okay to take stone on the spot and choose stone. The others are treated as ordinary brick houses. . . ”

When Zhang Fan made these things clear, the craftsman was also a little shocked: "This... How can this work? Even some of the unpopular sects on the rivers and lakes will not be so simple, and this seems... ”

Zhang Fan also seemed to know what those people were going to say: "Do you want to say palace people, guards, etc.?" Even if I build my own army and battalion, there is no need for those people to be crowded with me, and I can camp farther away if I can. As for the palace maids around me, hehe, if they can't stand the life of ordinary people in the future, they should not be trusted.

"This... "The craftsman really can't believe that a person who can dominate the world is looking for an ordinary hermit in the mountains and wilderness, and the strangest thing is that the people around him seem to only have the specifications of ordinary people? If it weren't for some unique means before seeing Zhang Fan, he might even wonder if he had seen some imposters. However, the craftsman was obviously also a little excited: because if it was such a simple request, it seemed that there was no need to use too many manpower at all, and perhaps it would be enough to rely only on himself and even his own team, plus at most a hundred construction workers, hundreds of transporters, and spend no more than a few hundred taels of rice to buy materials.

Zhang Fan still paid some attention at this time, worried that some people would make trouble for him again, so he said: "I don't have too urgent requirements for the time being, even if it is completed in two months, it will be nothing." Therefore, some materials can be prepared on the spot, and it is not necessary to go to other counties to buy... ”

"This... Be... ”

Not only the craftsman, but also a Xishan Sect martial artist who was sealed here also felt a lot of shock, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that maybe there was nothing strange. Perhaps the Lord is just a place to settle down as soon as possible. Maybe it will take a certain amount of effort to make this place a new city completely.

In this way, one of the craftsmen who arrived first, more than 100 craftsmen with some experience and craftsmanship, and 300 laborers who seemed to have been recruited on the spot, began a plan to build the imperial palace capital that I don't know if it was a newcomer, but it was obviously possible that it was unprecedented: it only cost less than 800 working months, more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the emperor's "palace" was like an ordinary large house... ”。

When these craftsmen were busy, Zhang Fan also secretly selected ten auxiliary craftsmen who seemed to understand many feng shui calculations that ordinary craftsmen did not understand, and asked these people to stay. At the same time, he did not shy away from saying: "I let you stay alone and do something, you should be able to guess what I asked you to do by now, right?"

Hearing Zhang Fan's statement, the ten craftsmen who had a lot of experience all felt pressure and panic, and it was obvious that if the guess was not far from ten, it might be to help build the secret passage. This is a very risky job, and it may be destroyed. It's just that at this time, there is no choice to inherit.
