At the same time, the nearby village chiefs and mayors all knew about Wutian Town and were included in the management of Wutian Town.
However, a few towns were very unconvinced, and sent people to consult with each other, and decided to go to the town of Heavenless to have a look, if the town of Heaven did not work, they would replace it.
You are a town, why do you manage a city, especially since they were originally under the jurisdiction of Daxing City, but now they have become a subsidiary of Wutian Town, they are very reluctant.
You must know that the strength of a city is very strong, and if there is an attack by a foreign enemy, if the village and town cannot stop it, they will ask the city for help.
And Skyless Town is just a town, once something happens, does he have the ability to protect them?
Thinking of this, they were anxious, discussed it directly, and took the teleportation circle to Wutian Town.
When they opened their eyes, they found that the town was huge, as the houses near the teleportation circle were at least ten miles away, and they needed to walk a long way to get there.
Seeing this, they were very puzzled, but they didn't know the situation, so they had to start walking around, hoping to understand.
This walk is a few days, they are tired to find an inn to rest, hungry to find a tavern to eat, by the way to learn about the situation in the town of the skyless.
This understanding didn't matter, and it scared them.
After several days of investigation, they found that the area of Wutian Town was very large, and it was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the north side could enter and exit, but now the city wall was being built on a large scale, and the position was only a few hundred miles long, and the mouth of the mountain was to be blocked.

In this way, unless Wutian Town is attacked head-on, or it is flying in the sky to attack, it is really a good place.
And except for the north wall, which is under construction, the other three walls have begun to be demolished.
Because the other three sides are mountains, although they are not high, only 300 meters, but you must know that Wutian Town is just a town, once it is upgraded to a city, the mountain range is not only 300, at least more than 500, this is still the lowest height.
And they knew that Wutian Town had just eliminated the Youzhou Iron Cavalry sent by Liu Yu some time ago, and even knew that Li Yi was Gongsun Zhan's long history, and they were shocked at this time.
I didn't expect the strength of Wutian Town to be so strong, and the backstage was so hard, so it was better not to provoke it.
After discussion, they came directly to Li Yi's City Lord's Mansion, hoping to meet Li Yi and meet him.
"Stop, who's who?" However, the guard at the door didn't care who they were, and stopped them directly.
One of the older ones stepped out. "Little brother, we are the mayor of the nearby town, and we have come to visit the mayor of Wutian Town, and I hope to inform you."
With that, he took out their name tags and handed them to the guards.
When the guards took a look, they found that it was really the mayor of a nearby town, so they didn't dare to slack off, and went directly into the mansion and found Li Yi.
"Lord, there are a few people outside who claim to be the mayor of the nearby town and want to ask to see them." After speaking, he handed over the name card to Li Yi.
Li Yi took a look and found that it was really Liangjia Town, Dagu Town, Xiaogu Town, and Tieli Town. The mayors of the four towns came.
"You go and bring them to the conference room, and inform Chen Gong to come over, go ahead." Li Yi waved his hand and asked the guard to do it.
I first came to the conference room and waited for their arrival.
After a while, Chen Gong arrived, and brought Zhao Yun, and the two sat on Li Yi's left and right, waiting for the arrival of the mayor of the four towns.
After waiting for a while, four old men came.
I saw that some of them had gray hair, and some of them were half black and half white, indicating that they were not young, at least fifty years old.
"Everyone, please take a seat, it's the mayor of Heavenless Town for a day." Seeing the four of them coming, Li Yi motioned for them to sit down.
The four mayors were not polite and sat down directly.
Among them, the gray-haired one looked at Zhao Yun and Chen Gong, and found that one was heroic, really a brave general.
The other is a little impenetrable, sometimes the eyes are like electricity, sometimes they are muddy, sometimes they are chic like clouds, and they are unpredictable.
Looking at Li Yi, I found that it was very ordinary, and there was nothing prominent, but it was this that surprised the old man even more.
You must know that Zhao Yun and Chen Gong are not simple characters, and Li Yi's ability to make these two people work must be very strong, but I don't know what it is.
If you don't think about it, the old man stood up, first arched his hand and then said. "In the mayor of Xialiangjia Town, Liang Shuna. See the day adults. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, old man, please sit down, sit down and say." Li Yi saw that he was very old, so he motioned for Liang Shuna to sit down and said.
"Okay, you're welcome, the four of us came here to see what the Heavenless Town is capable of ruling over us." After the old man sat down, he said very politely.
"Oh. A few people have been here for a few days, and I don't know how they looked. Listening to the old man's unkind tone, Li Yi was not angry, and looked at them calmly.
They will be surprised if they don't come to Li Yi, you must know that Wutian Town is not a small town, but with the rights of a small town, if the mayors of these towns don't come, there will be a big problem.
Once this happens, Li Yi will go to investigate, which is time-consuming and laborious.
"However, a few of us have learned about it, and it is meaningless to rule Wutian Town, this is this month's monthly money, please accept it." The old man's tone changed suddenly, and he became a little low, and took out a stack of golden tickets.
"What is this?" Li Yi took the golden ticket, and the system prompt sounded.
"Ding. Obtain 40,000 taels of gold. ”
Forty thousand taels of gold? Monthly money? Is it every month? Li Yi was a little stunned. Not sure what's going on.
"Your Excellency doesn't know? Every village and town has to pay a monthly fee to the city every month, and they have asked for ......protection," Liang Shuna said, "Liang Shuna explained the general situation.
As soon as Li Yi heard this, he understood that the town and village were attached to the city, and they needed to pay a certain amount of gold every month, which was regarded as a protection fee, which also meant that they were attached.
The village is 100 taels of gold per month, and the town is 10,000 taels of gold, which must be paid every month, although this is not stipulated by the imperial court, but after hundreds of years, everyone has agreed on it, so it has been settled.
But if something happens to the village and you don't care about it, then the village chief and the town mayor will report it to the Taishou.
Unless your backstage is too hard, not to mention that you don't have good fruit to eat, many city lords have been dismissed or even killed because of this.
And Xiaocheng also needs to pay a part of the gold to Taishou, which has been expressed dependent, but Li Yi is also exempt.
At that time, Gongsun Zhan didn't even mention it, probably because he felt a little indebted to Li Yi, so he was exempted.
"Oh, I see, in that case, as long as something happens to the four of you, come to me, and I'll settle it for you." Hearing this, watching the increase in gold, Li Yi said happily.
"Thank you, sir, in that case, we will take our leave." Hearing Li Yi's reply, the four mayors left with a smile on their faces.
After the four of them left. Li Yi asked. "Gongtai, what they said is true?"
"Yes, doesn't the lord know? Gongsun Taishou didn't tell you? Chen Gong looked at Li Yi.
"This, no, Gongsun Taishou didn't say anything." Li Yi shook his head.
"Oh, that's wonderful, it seems that we can save a lot of money, and we can even grow quickly." Chen Gong was a little happy, you must know that the 20 million taels of gold that Li Yi gave him have now cost a lot.
And if there is any way to make money in the town, if it goes on like this, sooner or later, it will be empty, even if it is upgraded to a small town and the monthly money of the village and town is obtained, it will have to be handed over to the Taishou.
However, Wutian Town is different, since Gongsun Chan didn't say it, he just wouldn't come to ask for it, and Li Yi's identity is special, which is Gongsun Chan's long history.
You must know that Changshi is the head of the civil officials of Taishou, which is enough to show that Gongsun Chan attaches great importance to Li Yi.
The monthly money of a month is at least one million taels of gold, which is enough to maintain the construction of Skyless Town, and even a year later, there will be a surplus.
"I see. By the way, how is the construction of the city wall? How long does it take to complete? Li Yi nodded and asked.
"My lord, according to the current progress, it will take at least three months to complete." Chen Gong thought about it and said truthfully.
"Three months? It's too long, try to finish it within a month. Li Yi was very dissatisfied when he heard it for three months.
"A month? But in that case, the cost is a bit big! Chen Gong said.
"No matter how much the cost is done, and then vigorously develop farmland, food is very important, we can't always rely on purchase, we have to grow ourselves." Li Yi said affirmatively.
When Chen Gong heard this, although he was a little puzzled, what Li Yi said was right, food is very important, even more important than soldiers to a certain extent.
You must know that now that the troubled times are coming, these historical generals and celebrities have sensed it.
And once the troubled times begin, only if you have soldiers in your hands and territory, you can dominate the world, and soldiers need food and equipment to have combat effectiveness.
If you don't have equipment, you can grab it and make it, but the grain is different, it takes half a year to mature, and there are only two seasons a year.
In this way, the status of grain has skyrocketed, and at that time grain is the best weapon.
"Lord, I understand, try to complete it within a month, but now the top priority is to collect this month's monthly money......," Chen Gong proposed.
"Hmm. The public station is right. Zilong. I'm going to trouble you. Hearing Chen Gong's proposal, Li Yi said.
"The subordinates are here." When Zhao Yun heard Li Yi call him, he suddenly became energetic.
Zhao Yun heard the conversation between Chen Gong and Li Yi just now, although Zhao Yun heard it, but he was not very concerned, he was a general, and he didn't like these civil affairs.
"It's time for Zilong to go out and take 500,000 Youzhou Iron Horsemen, no, your White Dragon Legion, go around the villages and towns, and tell me about the deeds of our Wutian Town, so that they will obediently come to hand over the monthly money." And you can also train a little......" Li Yi thought of this, and the more he talked, the happier he became.
Chen Gong interjected a few words from time to time on the side and added.
After half an hour of discussion, Zhao Yun set off with the current 500,000 White Dragon Legion.
Chen Gong began to speed up the construction of the city wall, and Li Yi became a little bored, but now he can't go, and Wutian Town can't get on the right track.
Li Yi, who was bored, went to Zhang Rang to see if there was any progress in the matter.
