The first thing Zhang Yao did when he returned from the underground world was to give the order to retreat completely.

Today, the Rising Sun Empire occupies all the territory except for Modo, but its population is still only about 4 million.

Such a wide area is definitely not suitable for rule, especially since the world of the Lord of the Rings belongs to the city-state system, and the result is that the farther away the empire is, the worse the control of the empire, which not only causes a great waste of resources, but also is not conducive to management.

The four satellite cities outside the Dwarf Fortress, the Elven City, the Goblin Capital, and the Goblin Gathering Place outside the Imperial City of the Rising Sun began to exchange generators under Zhang Yao's orders.

Among them, the dwarven fort belongs to the dwarves, and the elven city belongs to the elves. Under Zhang Yao's insistent order, all the population began to gather in the direction of the Rising Sun Imperial City, not only the goblin clan gave up the occupied Moriah Mine, but the captured elves were also under the care of the vampire army, and set off in the direction of the Rising Sun Imperial City.

A new city began to be built little by little, with the Rising Sun Imperial City as the center and four satellite cities radiating outward, gathering a large number of people under Zhang Yao's nose.

The original population of more than 4 million, plus the goblins and captured elves, finally reached a total population of more than 5 million.

In Zhang Yao's previous life, such a total population may have been the standard of a second-tier city, but here it has become everything.

There is more land, fewer people, and abundant materials, which is the embarrassing situation facing the empire at the moment.

More than 5 million people are divided into one main city and four satellite cities. Here you can see people of different races in the same place or in the same environment every day.

What Zhang Yao wanted was centralization, and his first step was to make these races completely subordinate to the rule of the empire. The second step is to vigorously develop the population and expand outward by encroaching step by step.

Now the territory of Gondor and Rohan has been completely abandoned by Zhang Yao. It's not that Zhang Yao doesn't like the prairie, or that he doesn't like Gondor, which is surrounded by the Anduin River. It was these two places that hindered the development of the empire, and Zhang Yao had to abandon these places ruthlessly.

The scarcity of the population was the biggest obstacle to the development of the empire. You can't imagine the UK being home to only five million people. What's more, where there are people, there are mountain factions, and Zhang Yao has heard more than once the so-called Gondor people, or Rohan people and the like.

To be honest, Zhang Yao doesn't like these regional names. Not to mention that Gondor and Rohan were separated by thousands of miles, even they themselves were at least eight hundred miles away from Zhang Yao's Rising Sun Imperial City.

The distance was so far that it would take months to travel from Gondor to Rohan in a carriage. Except for the merchants, the commoners could not imagine where the other side lived, let alone walked for months to go to the other's territory.

Distance was the biggest headache in ancient times, although Zhang Yao ordered goblin engineers to vigorously develop the mass production technology of the portal. However, he knew that in a short period of time, it would be impossible for this technology to make a breakthrough, and it would not be able to meet the needs of exchanges between the two places.

In such a scenario, the relocation of residents from the other two places has become the only option to unite the country's strength.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and the more dispersed the power, the weaker the power. With the current population of the empire, Ken Ben is not enough to control such a large territory, and gathering all the forces together has become Zhang Yao's preferred target.

Under Zhang Yao's orders, Denether and Xiyodun began a large-scale migration campaign.

The inhabitants of Gondor and Rohan were forcibly escorted by the army to leave the place where their ancestors had lived.

These migrated residents of the two places were directly incorporated into the expanded Imperial City of the Rising Sun by Zhang Yao. When more than three million human beings gathered in the Imperial City, the inconvenience caused by distance was eliminated.

Imperial, replacing all regional names, will become the only legitimate and sought after name.

In the course of the drastic reforms, the armed forces were completely redressed and the work of major disarmament began. The first stage of the reading book was also issued to the troops in an all-round way.

As long as the soldiers who pass the political review, regardless of your race, will be allowed to study the Nianli book.

However, it is not so easy to cultivate the Nian Li Book, in order to ensure the loyalty of the army, it is not enough to pass the political review, but also to accept Zhang Yao's personal review.

Anyone who is hostile will be subjected to the most brutal test in the political review. After passing the test, Zhang Yao will also use the system to test the loyalty of these people, as long as there is a person who does not pass, he will be directly driven out of the army.

In the magical world, it is difficult for ordinary people to even fight soy sauce, and they can only become a cannon fodder. And the existence of the book is the only opportunity to change.

The Emperor ** team of the Great Disarmament was directly reduced to 200,000 by Zhang Yao, including the vampire army.

Don't look at the vast majority of these people who have been cut down, but the army of 200,000 people is the foundation for Zhang Yao's real life.

Among these 200,000 people, most of them included those who followed Zhang Yao's personal expedition, and the alien soldiers were only a few. Each of these people has the potential to become a hero with the help of the book of Nianli. Therefore, after the issuance of the Nian Li Book, the competition belonging to the army inevitably began, just like the competition of the Five Shadow Guards, which set off an upsurge of cultivation in the army.

The generals and commanders inherent in the army were all swept away in one fell swoop in this wave.

If you want to be a general, then you have to become the first 200,000 people to cultivate mental power.

If you don't have that much ambition, think it's okay to be a squad leader. Then you have to be one step faster than the people around you, otherwise you will only become a big soldier.

The first twenty people who have cultivated their mental power are the twenty generals who manage the army. The first hundred people who cultivated their mental power were the adjutants who managed the army.

Any position is linked to strength, you don't need to go to Taoguang here, if you think you should keep a hand, then after everyone else will occupy a high position, you can imagine where you should go.

Discharged! Don't dream, these 200,000 people are all professional soldiers, and as long as they come in alive, they can only lie down and go out.

These generals, they don't want their subordinates to be divided. As long as you step into the gate of the barracks and practice the Nian Li Shu, it will not be possible for you to go first, and the first ones who will not agree are these generals and adjutants.

When the forest is big, there are actually all kinds of birds, and Zhang Yao really heard of people who like Taoguang and keep obscure.

A soldier who could have been a general had some low self-esteem because he was an elven and concealed his talent and speed of progress.

But after a few months, the one who was a general became a general, and the one who was an adjutant became an adjutant. This elven soldier who is obscure is honored to be assigned to the cooking class and becomes a chef with a big spoon of common prosperity.

Of course, being a chef is also a decent job. Well fed, and there is comprador oil and water.

But in the barracks, it's different, the person who can be a general ends up being a cook, and the regret of this handsome little elf guy can be imagined.

In the end, this handsome elf guy cried every day with a kitchen knife, but at this time, the general and adjutants were elected, and he could only become a hidden master in the cooking class, and he was nicknamed the kitchen knife general.

Six months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the residents of the city should run in, and the soldiers in the army should cultivate.

Zhang Yao is also self-cultivation in these days, and handed over all government affairs to Dinesse alone. With the help of water grinding, he was pushed from the first layer of the book of reading power to the second layer, and became a mid-hero existence.

"Mid-Hero!" Zhang Yao sat on the dragon chair, looked at the direction of Modo, clasped his hands, and said with a cruel smile, "Start the lottery"
