The disturbances from the outside world were naturally expected, Ye Teng only paid a little attention to the forum, and he no longer paid attention to it.

Self-development and self-strength are the foundation of the foothold.

Every minute and every second of today's efforts will become a brick and tile on the building of success in the future, and a skyline that will raise the horizon of life little by little.

Therefore, Ye Teng has been walking according to his own plan. In this plan, there are both long-term goals and short-term tasks.

And the most important thing at the moment is alchemy!

In the process of achieving a grandmaster-level alchemist, the elixirs practiced will increase the number of primary special classes in Tianma City, and Tianma City has two master-level alchemists, itself and Chen Xi, which is the biggest comparative advantage of Tianma City compared to other players.

Each intermediate metamorphosis pill requires 100 gold coins, which is equal to 1 million real coins, 10,000 primary special troops, and 10 billion pill money.

And because of Ye Teng and Chen Xi in Tianma City, from now on, the establishment of 10,000 primary special troops will save more than 60% of the pill money required. Moreover, under the leadership of Ye Teng and Chen Xi, Tianma City will definitely cultivate more high-level and master-level alchemists, so as time goes by, Tianma City's primary special troops are by no means comparable to other forces.

Not to mention, in the near future, Ye Teng and Chen Xi will definitely be advanced to Grandmaster-level alchemists.

If in the future, Tianma City, as a force, has the ability to produce its own high-grade Transformation Pill, then the power of Tianma City will definitely advance by leaps and bounds militarily. On the battlefield in the future, as long as there are tens of thousands of intermediate-level special troops, the Tianma City army will have a sharp dagger, which will make all the enemy soldiers fearful!

And all this is based on the premise of being able to produce it by itself, otherwise, the price of a thousand gold is to rob a few more big households, and the intermediate special class will still not be able to develop on a large scale.

In the future, on the battlefield where the princes will compete for hegemony, there will be millions or tens of millions of elite troops at every turn, and if there are only a few thousand intermediate and junior special troops, and only 18,000 people, it will be impossible to set off many storms.

Before the official retreat for alchemy, Ye Teng went to Xia Cai again, and spent a total of 3 days to bring the families of Xia Cai soldiers and civilians who joined Tianma City, and added more than 20,000 people to the territory.

On January 12, 185 AD, Ye Teng began to officially enter the retreat mode of alchemy during the day, entering the space cultivation at night, going out of the customs once a week to receive information about the territory and Qianbi Village, and receiving the task of suppressing bandits.

In this process, Ye Teng also asked the master from time to time for the problems encountered in alchemy, and the master also taught him decades of experience from time to time, which increased Ye Teng's alchemy success rate a lot.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ye Teng has taken his attention away from Jingjing County. At this time, he just took advantage of this time in the county to give Ye Mansion, the Military Government, the Chamber of Commerce and Chen Xi, Jiang Jin, and Xiang Ming, who were studying art, a certain amount of care and exchange.

Especially every time Ye Teng went out for a short period of time to take on the task of suppressing bandits, he could always meet Chen Xi who was studying art in the medical hall. Today's Chen Xi has long since lost the slightest sign of tattered clothes, sad eyebrows, and helpless expression when he was in the dental shop.

12-year-old Chen Xi has initially grown into a slim little beauty, with light steps, picturesque eyebrows, graceful posture, and the identity of a master-level alchemist. The only thing that remains unchanged is probably the attachment to Ye Teng, every time I see Ye Teng, I always bounce and pull Ye Teng's sleeve, and I can't stop talking.

What also made Ye Teng feel relieved was that in the blink of an eye, Chen Xi, Jiang Jin, and Xiang Ming had all reached the master level. And with the support of the three of them, the Chamber of Commerce was also managed by Xiahou Xiu, and there was basically an income of more than 20,000 gold coins every month, and there was still a surplus to support the expenses of Ye Mansion, Jinyiwei, and the Chamber of Commerce, and of course, the surplus had also become the intermediate Transformation Pill in Chen Xi's storage bag.

Of course, the Ye Chamber of Commerce's current main business is to purchase various resources, medicinal materials, weapons and equipment that cannot be used from players, and at the same time, sell them pills, weapons and equipment, etc.

According to Ye Teng's instructions before, Zhao Qing and Xiahou Xiu gave Chen Ping strong support, and now Jinyiwei and its peripheral members have laid their own eyeliner in all the cities above the county level, and there is a steady stream of news from all over the country.

The next step of the strategy is to focus on the grassland, as for the various counties, it is not in a hurry, after all, the number of county towns is more than 10 times that of the county seats, and the manpower and material resources required are too much, so they can only come step by step.

Since the territory is getting closer and closer to the upgraded county seat, and each building also needs senior talents to go back to preside over it in order to upgrade, so as soon as Chen Xi and the three of them completed their study period, they were sent back to the territory by Ye Teng.

At the beginning of June, Chen Xi, a 12-year-old master alchemist, returned to Tianma City to preside over the senior medical hall and upgrade the senior medical hall to a special medical hall;

At the beginning of July, Xiang Ming, a 19-year-old master blacksmith, returned to Shenjiang Town, a subordinate territory of Tianma City, to preside over the high-level blacksmith shop and upgrade the high-grade blacksmith shop to a high-grade blacksmith shop;

At the beginning of August, the 17-year-old master tailor Jiang Jin returned to Tianma City to preside over the senior tailor shop and upgrade the senior tailor shop to the premium tailor shop.

Ye Teng himself didn't expect that this time the retreat would be much longer than expected.

Until September 15, 185, Tianma City has been upgraded to a third-level small city, and the next step to upgrade the county seat is the population, as well as master-level talents, and the rest of the conditions have been roughly met. And all the captives from the Yellow Turban and Huang families have been digested.

At this moment, Ye Teng decided to go out, although the population can be slowly refreshed, and talents can be cultivated slowly, but if it develops according to this model, it will definitely be left behind by others.

Ye Teng decided to go on an expedition to the grassland!

In the future of the era of chaotic warfare among the princes, it is not feasible to snatch talents and population under the rule of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the bandits can only get some population and low-level artisan talents, so the best source of these upgraded resources at the moment is the Han slaves plundered by foreign races!

During the retreat, he cultivated in the ninth layer of the space, enjoying the aura equivalent to 16 times that of the outside world, and his internal strength had improved significantly, and he had already cultivated the ground-level exercises to the Dacheng realm.

At the same time, through daily diligent alchemy, a total of 3,778 intermediate-level metamorphosis pills have been obtained, and the alchemy experience has also made great progress. Click on the property version to open it:

Before I knew it, it had been more than three years since I entered the game. Because I have been working hard and dare not waste a trace of time, I have gained a lot of money and achieved remarkable results.

The force value has reached the peak of the prefecture-level generals, and both in reality and in the game, they have the ability to protect themselves and have the basis to show their skills. But if you want to upgrade to a heaven-level general, you have to learn heaven-level exercises, and the requirements for intelligence of heaven-level exercises are 70 points, and under careful calculation, intelligence alone is still 13 free attribute points, and if you add force and add a point, you also have 10 free attribute points. It seems that if you only rely on upgrading to obtain free attribute points, you will have to upgrade at least 5 levels to be promoted to a heaven-level general, and the road is still long.

Ye Teng rushed back to the territory as soon as he left the customs, and conducted a comprehensive review and collection of the army, grain and grass on the expedition.

In order to conquer the grassland in the north, Tianma City continued to carry out targeted reorganization of the troops under Ye Teng's instructions, and handed over the intermediate metamorphosis pills refined by Ye Teng and Chen Xi to the troops one after another to upgrade the troops.

Ye Teng's regiment includes 4,000 junior troops and 1,000 intermediate special troops;

Cai Hui's second regiment, including 4,000 junior troops;

Xie Gengxin's three regiments, including 3,000 junior soldiers;

Zhou Tai's four regiments, including 2,000 special troops;

Jiang Qin's naval division, including 1,000 special troops.

The most rare thing is that after a long period of training, if there are enough war horses, all the troops except the water division can fight on horseback.

After a meeting of the backbone of the territory, Ye Teng decided to hand over the defense and suppression of bandits in the territory to Cai Hui's Second Regiment, Jiang Qin's naval division and the rest of the garrison.

Ye Teng will lead the first regiment, the third regiment, and the fourth regiment to go out, the reason is very simple, after recent adjustments, the infantry in the territory is mainly concentrated in Cai Hui's second regiment, the grassland is suitable for cavalry combat, and the territory is located in the mountainous area, and the bandit combat needs infantry, and Cai Hui is calm and strong, and the martial arts are strong, which is more reassuring in protecting the security of the territory.

And the expedition to the grain, grass, forest wind has also been prepared, and Ye Teng has also spent some time to load it all into the divine stone space.

Since everything was basically ready, Ye Teng let the troops enter a state of pre-war rest, and he was ready to go to Luoyang to undertake the task of the northern expedition to the grassland.
