Chu Zheng's response to the situation was not wrong, but under the command of these leaders of various forces who only knew about cultivation and did not follow the advice of their staff, the battle situation was still becoming more and more unfavorable to the Great Zhou side.

Since Bai Banyuan's ferocious attack, the scale of the battle has also abruptly escalated from 11,000 to 51,000 people, and every time there is a big battle, Bai Banyuan takes advantage of some small advantages, but the accumulation of these small advantages just offsets the advantage of Da Zhou's comprehensive strength. However, Bai Banyuan's ruthlessness this time had a good effect, although the civilian agreement was not reached, the two sides no longer dared to kill innocents at will. Bai Banyuan didn't want to kill in the first place, and all parties in the Great Zhou didn't dare to kill him.

"Congratulations to all the people who have come out of the customs. ”

Everyone in the council hall stood up and clenched their fists.

In the previous half month of Chu Zheng's retreat, he successfully promoted his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building and the middle stage of physical cultivation, and then found his clone in the mountains, and he had also successfully built his foundation.

For the doppelganger, it itself has powerful spiritual power, and in the realm, because it is Chu Zheng's doppelganger, it also shares Chu Zheng's comprehension, and the level of foundation building does not exist for the doppelganger at all, it is just a smooth promotion.

Chu Zheng smiled and pressed down with his hands, "It was supposed to hold a monthly meeting yesterday, but it was Chu who delayed everyone." Now let's talk about the situation. ”

Everyone sat down, and Chu Junsheng first said: "In the past month, the battles in the Southeast Region have become more and more intense, with five battles above 10,000 people, ten battles above 5,000 people, and twenty-three other skirmishes. The Great Zhou side lost about 5,000 men, and the Western Yue group lost about 3,000 men. Among them, 562 prisoners of war were sent by the Western Yue Tribe, and 291 prisoners of war were sent by the Great Zhou side, all of whom are now participating in the construction of the Henan Plain according to the previous requirements of the capital. ”

"In the past month, one hundred and twenty monks have joined my Great Qin forces, and at the same time, many monks above the foundation foundation have been promoted. Now we have Han Lifeng's predecessors in the late Yuan Infant period. Senior Han's internal injuries have healed and he can exert his full combat effectiveness. ”

Han Lifeng nodded to everyone. Everyone smiled and nodded in response.

"In addition, there is also the peak of Yuanying Li Changqiu, who is the senior, presiding over the big array. Jindan Qi refining Chenggang, our side has Wang Xiuyan (the former leader of the Xiyue tribe, the West Lancang Pass was surrendered), Lan Tianfeng (the former leader of the Lanshui tribe), Tao Hai (the former leader of the Oceanwide Gang), Du Yuan (the monk of the Chixiao Tianlei Sect), Chang Jun (the monk of the Chixiao Tianlei Sect), 2,100 monks in the congenital stage of the foundation, and 3,000 monks below the congenital stage of the foundation. It has become one of the most powerful forces in the southeastern region. ”

Chu Zheng looked at Liang Cheng, although he had the support of the spiritual spring and some pills, it was obvious that Liang Cheng's face was still full of exhaustion.

"As of yesterday, we have 182,000 permanent residents, but there are still about 300,000 people coming to Lanbian County, and it is expected that our permanent residents will reach 500,000 within a month," Liang Cheng said. ”

"Lord Liang works hard. Chu Zheng thanked him.

"Lord Liang has worked hard!" everyone in the audience thanked one after another, some were really admiring, and some were joking with some schadenfreude.

Liang Cheng is the busiest in the past month, and Liang Cheng has the biggest temper. In order to deal with the influx of people, Liang Cheng did everything he could, and even Han Lifeng was caught by him as a strong man, but fortunately, there was no major mistake for the time being.

Liang Cheng rolled his eyelids, "It doesn't matter if it's hard or not, as long as you don't see me and run, I'll be satisfied." ”

Everyone looked embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng said with a smile: "It's not easy for Lord Liang to catch them. ”

Liang Cheng ignored Chu Zheng and continued: "Our permanent residents are 170,000 people in Lanbian County and the Henan Basin, and three temporary camps have been set up on the coast, with a permanent population of 10,000. Due to Bai Zhi's efforts and the food and tents sent by other forces, the resettlement of these people is not difficult for the time being, but it is expected that our resettlement will be stretched thin in a month. Tents and shelters can keep up for the time being, but food rations are no longer enough. ”

Chu Zheng looked at Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi said, "The Xiyue tribe has already paid a million stones, so we are very short of food. Because the one million stone of grain paid for the Xiyue tribe was purchased from neighboring states and counties, and the grain from neighboring states and counties has basically been restricted from circulation, the grain from the prefectures and counties of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the rations promised by various parties in the southeast region are being transported in a steady stream, but because of the long distance, it will take two months to meet the rations of 500,000 people. ”

"Buy Bigu Dan from Dan Yuanzong. ”

Chu Zheng turned to Liang Cheng after speaking, but everyone in the conference hall was stunned for a moment. Bigu Pill is a commonly used pill for low-level monks, although it is as cheap as fifty pieces of a spirit stone, but after all, it is also an elixir, and it is much more expensive than rations. Chu Zheng was obviously a loser, but everyone couldn't object, but Liang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang continued: "The reclamation of the seaside is relatively smooth, and it is expected that 200,000 people will be able to be resettled in three months, and self-sufficiency will be reached within six months. In this way, according to the previous plan, 300,000 people will be resettled in Lanbian County and the Henan Basin, and 200,000 people will be resettled by the sea, which will not have a bad impact on the environment. So as long as you survive this half year, everything will be on track. ”

The crowd rolled their eyes. Liang Chengzhen reciprocated the favor, and he ignored Chu Zheng just now, and now he immediately said that you can rest assured, it will be no problem in half a year.

"The structure of the government has been established and is functioning normally, and although the population is increasing rapidly, the law and order situation is good because of the presence of various warbands. In addition, more than 300 scribes came to Lanbian County this month, and it is expected that the number will reach 2,000 within two months, and the operation of the administrative system will be perfected by then. ”

Bai Zhi saw that Liang Cheng didn't mean to speak, and said directly: "The second auction ended the day before yesterday, and the Shengtong Chamber of Commerce had already sent the spiritual material and spiritual plants over. Including the proceeds of the first auction, we received 110,000 spirit stones this month, including the ores produced by our own ore veins, as well as spiritual materials and spiritual plants, and this month's income was 5,220,000. Our expenditures, including the monthly rewards and punishments for the alchemy refining array and the payment of the relatives sent by the Xiyue tribe, are 380,000 spirit stones this month, but more than 52 million of them belong to the auction of martial arts and combat skills, and these incomes can be regarded as one-time income. Therefore, it can be regarded as a loss of 70,000 spirit stones this month. ”

Everyone present, including Han Lifeng, snorted. A loss of 70,000 a month, this is still a month without participating in the war, if it is more expensive to open a battle with other places.

Bai Zhi continued: "Regarding the people's biological resources, because we basically have no output, we will receive 120,000 stone of grain and spend 130,000 stone of grain this month. The income from gold and silver was 21,000 gold coins, the expenditure was 830,000 gold coins, and the net loss was 809,000 gold coins. Speaking of income, I have to mention one person, Du Tong still remembers the middle-aged man who bid for 300,000 spirit stones ten times in a row at the auction. ”

Chu Zheng nodded.

Bai Zhi said: "That middle-aged man's name is Wang Fengnian, and he lives at the junction of Chufeng County and Nanban. Neither he nor his two sons were qualified to cultivate, but they were very talented in business. I talked to them once, and they were interested in joining the Tokto. ”

Chu Zheng nodded slightly, looked at Liang Cheng with a deep groan, and said: "Lord Liang has really worked hard recently, but about the scribes and some talented people who have taken refuge, we should also pay attention, after all, I can take out the Nine Turns Xuantian Sutra for auction, it doesn't make sense that our own people can't cultivate." ”

Seeing that Liang Cheng had a headache, Chu Zheng said: "There are no perfect rules in the world, and there are no perfect laws. Some are simply prescribed laws that balance the interests of all parties in the circumstances. Therefore, Lord Liang can draw on the regulations of military merit to draw up a preliminary rule. I will make just four points here. ”

Chu Zheng glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and said loudly: "First, for the current environment of our great development, it is the time to employ people, and the people you here, including the scribes who took refuge, are the first people to work together with me, and this treatment should be different from those who come later." For everyone, the conditions should be relaxed. ”

"Second, please keep in mind once again that for start-ups, sometimes even a bad decision is better than not making a decision and delaying time. Therefore, I allow everyone to make mistakes, as long as it is not an essential betrayal of our common aspirations, betrayal of Great Qin and betrayal of Lanbian County, some mistakes are harmless. ”

"Third. Everyone knows what kind of catastrophe we will face in the future, Bai Zhi just said that the income and expenditure seem to be losing more than 70,000 spirit stones every month, but don't forget, these two auctions will auction 50 million spirit stones, which is enough for us to lose for 60 years. Moreover, the auction will continue. If there are really no spirit stones, I can take out a few things here that will be auctioned for 50 million, and I can take out others. Therefore, the wealth of spirit stones does not mean anything to us. ”

"Fourth, I have reiterated it before, and I will reiterate it again. No matter what the purpose of the people under my command is, even if he is an undercover agent of other sect families, even if he is a person from the northwest wilderness of the Xiyue tribe, as long as he comes here, as long as he has the ability, I can still use him. I don't believe that a thriving force is more attractive than a twilight power. ”

"Dutong's mind is really as broad as the sea. Liang Cheng bowed, and couldn't help but admire Chu Zheng's mind a little, and even more admired Chu Zheng's self-confidence.

Everyone had a few words of greeting, and Chu Zheng saw that there was nothing else, so he said to Wang Xiuyan, Shen Wanqing and the others: "Although Lord Liang Cheng is more difficult there, it will not be easy for you next. There will be no war anytime soon, but in about ten months, when we have digested our current skyrocketing strength, we will start a new conquest. Chu Junsheng Tao Hai. ”

"Here!" the two bowed.

"Immediately step up the investigation of the three news from the sea, and after October, we will conquer the South China Sea and first clean up all scattered forces. ”
