Chapter 43 Resurrecting the City
"It seems that the popularity of that little girl is still quite high. Hovering in the sky overlooking the royal city, looking at the crowds outside the palace, I didn't see many records of travel, but this popularity can be said to be huge, which really surprised Amun, "Has it started, these courtiers are not simple one by one." The worst is also an earl-level demon powerhouse, and it seems that the strength of the Northern Regions is indeed very strong. ”
The cheers below were higher and higher, and every time a demon powerhouse appeared, the onlookers all chanted in unison. Compared to humans, the demons who worship power don't care about these civilians at all, on the contrary, being able to win the applause of their people can be regarded as the most effective encouragement for them.
Some of these strong men would turn to the crowd to reveal their muscular bodies with the shouts, and some would turn around and walk into the palace without paying attention, but even then they all had smug smiles on their faces, but this smile was not for themselves, but for the entire Northern Regions.
Even if the demons with an upright personality have a high level of intelligence, they rarely have intrigues, but on the contrary, they are such a conspiracy without suspicion, and the Northern Regions can thrive. If these strong people cheat on each other, I am afraid that in the only demon clan whose strength is the only one, it will directly lead to the destruction of the empire.
But none of this is a matter of Amun's relationship. All he had to do was wait for those guys to suddenly fly in after discussing the social plan, and then make a high-profile proposal...... Although all this was discussed with the Demon King before, Amon was still a little excited when he thought that he would have to live with him from now on.
Everyone except the royal family thinks that the princess is just a princess, and although they usually like it, they will not object to a political marriage for the sake of establishing diplomatic relations between the two races. But even so, Amon still has to show his strength, after all, these guys, as the uncles of Jiu, don't care if you are the king of the blood clan or not, those who don't have the strength can't pass the test.
Just looking at it, Amun's heart suddenly had a question, why the more powerful the demon race is, the more similar it is to humans? Whether it is wisdom or form, maybe everyone has been accustomed to it, but Amon couldn't help but be shocked by his whimsical at this time.
Starting from the lowest-level monsters in the demon race, the stronger the strength, the larger the size, because the larger the size, the stronger the magic and brute force. Amon, who had never entered the Demon Realm, once thought that there would be any legendary behemoths such as dragons in the Demon Realm, but after he really entered the Demon Realm, he found that the more powerful the demons became, the smaller they became, and the types of races suddenly decreased sharply, and the only ones left who could surpass the head of the crowd were these humanoid demons.
This is not like a strong person in the demon race at all, but more like a strong person has taken over the demon race. And the same fault line is not only found in the demons. Amon looked back at everything he had encountered from ancient times to the present, whether it was the twelve oracles or the blood race itself, weren't all humanoid races?
Humans and the Bloods are easy to explain, after all, they lived together on Earth at the beginning, but how should the demons and the Twelve Divine Envoys explain, is it all a coincidence, everyone just happens to think that the appearance of humans is more convenient?
You can even think about it another way, it's not that the blood clan and the demon clan are similar to humans, but that humans and the blood clan are getting closer to the demons, or are the demons and humans moving closer to the blood clan?
And it's not just the appearance, the magic, black magic, and spiritual magic used by the three clans to heal wounds can almost universally, but surprisingly, the tricks used for attack and defense are very different, are these just coincidences?
Thinking of this, Amon's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, the memories left to him in his previous life could not answer his question, although he knew that the three clans could no longer fight each other, but he couldn't draw a conclusion as to why the three clans were so similar. And when he tried to dig deep into the memories of his past life, the sharp pain that suddenly came to his mind made him choose to give up.
Amon retreated, and the matter of reincarnation itself is an unsolved mystery, and it is indeed somewhat unreliable to use the unsolved mystery to explain the unsolved mystery. However, Amon's usual style is to forget about things that he can't understand, and he will figure it out one day after a long time.
"But that being said...... Why are you feeling a little uneasy?"
The joyful atmosphere of the early morning filled the royal city of the demon race, and after crossing the boundary, Hongchuan on the earth in another world ushered in the silence of the night.
After hastily handling the various affairs reports for the whole day, Song Chengjie simply threw all the remaining unapproved applications and other trivial matters to Jiang Chengjie: "I'll leave these to you." ”
Looking at the large stack of lists pushed from the table, Jiang Chengjie suddenly felt that his head was bigger. But in this office, he didn't know anyone else except Song Chengjie, and he was embarrassed to say things like everyone sharing together, so he had to give Song Chengjie a glare and then silently take these heavy things.
In fact, it wasn't so dull in the original office, but the sigh of the wind, who was supposed to come to help, and Hei Yao, who was newly added today, didn't know where to go since dinner, and even Song Chengjie didn't know their whereabouts, but there were no other problems, so they let it go.
Reviewing the mountains of lists with a cigarette in his mouth, although he knew that Song Chengjie was already very tired, Jiang Chengjie couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you go to see Su Lun?"
"I'm afraid the doctors won't allow it. After all, he was not lightly injured, and even if he woke up at this time, he was already resting. Song Chengjie said that he lay on the table and stretched his waist, today's things are very annoying, and it is inevitable that he will be a little rude to visit him with such a mood, "And today I have to figure out the specific countermeasures overnight." What kind of Hongchuan do you want to build in half a month, and what kind of Hongchuan you want to show them. ”
There is only half a month left before the Exorcist Conference, although according to common sense, it is a little difficult to gather representatives of exorcists from all over the world in half a month without the help of any means of transportation, but Song Chengjie knows very well that let alone half a month, some powerful exorcists may be able to fly over from the other side of the world in a week.
Therefore, although the date on the invitation is half a month later, it is necessary to plan in advance if you want to prepare. What's more, this time it was an invitation privately issued by the Yin Yang Juku in the name of Hongchuan, and I think they also planned to let themselves not have enough time to prepare, so as to suppress the shield of justice at the exorcist conference.
Looking around, the more than ten people who are now working in the office can be said to be Song Chengjie's henchmen, they have followed Song Chengjie for many years, even after he disappeared for two years, it is incumbent on them to come from other places to re-form Hongchuan's exorcist team, for these people, although they may not be too revealing at ordinary times, but Song Chengjie is still quite grateful, after all, if there are no cronies by his side after the strong centralization, it is also a sad thing.
"It's not long since you did what you thought before, but it's not your style. Jiang Chengjie said and raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette butt, and carefully put the remaining tobacco into the box, "You don't have to worry about the lack of time to show what you expected." It's no problem for the civilians to have you in shock, and the rest is how to restore the city's momentum. ”
Song Chengjie sighed and took out a pile of documents from under the desk, and said while browsing quickly: "I also know this, but how to restore the city's momentum now? ”
"How is the food distributed in Houtu now?"
"Average. ”
"What about the distribution of labor?"
"Average. ”
Jiang Chengjie put down his pen and looked up at Song Chengjie, took out a coin from his ammunition bag, a coin that was no different from scrap after the war, and gently buckled it on the table.
Attracted by the crisp sound of the coin, Song Chengjie raised his eyes and looked at it, frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "You plan to create a gap between the rich and the poor?"
"The gap between rich and poor is the most obvious and motivating class hierarchy, and with a little brainstorming, they can become a group of people who rule with you and are grateful to you. Jiang Chengjie nodded, in fact, his idea was not groundless, after all, from ancient times to the present, the social class of human beings has started from the difference between the rich and the poor, "We mint currency ourselves, and then send a batch, and then make a price, everything needs to be bought with money." ”
"Then if we work, we will directly pay a salary equivalent to the amount of work, and then we don't have to work hard to distribute materials every day, but just wait for them to pick it up themselves?" Song Chengjie continued Jiang Chengjie's words, but he felt that this was still inappropriate, "How to deal with the lack of labor ability, or theft? And there will definitely be a phenomenon of shopping spree with money in the early stage, are you not afraid that we will run out of stock?"
"Now that Houtu has been perfected, I think it's time to expand, and I can transfer part of the patrol team out to be responsible for the expansion and operation of Houtu, so that we can provide two jobs, the patrol team and Houtu, and the number is by no means a minority; the labor force needed for urban reconstruction is also a job, as for the people who don't have labor, as far as I know, there are not many, right?"
Song Chengjie nodded after hearing this: "There are only about 20,000 people under the age of five and over sixty years old, and the pregnant women and the disabled don't even add up to half of them." ”
Jiang Chengjie breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but at the same time he was a little sad. While the fact that there are fewer of these people is good for the present situation, it also shows how many people died in this war: "Then these less than 40,000 people are kept as before, but there must be a reasonable explanation." I'll leave this to you, after all, you are the king of the city. ”
Song Chengjie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the coin on the table. If all goes according to expectations, there is no doubt that the city will come back to life.
Unconsciously, the people in the office stopped what they were doing and looked at Song Chengjie, they were waiting for Song Chengjie's decision.
After a long time, Song Chengjie got up slowly, looked at his colleagues who were looking forward to him, and said categorically: "!"
