Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and when he saw Songhai City again, Shaoyang found that he didn't know it anymore, there was no city wall that had been raised more than a zhang, and there were many more buildings outside the city, and there was a trend of development similar to the outer city of the White Emperor City.

The news that Shaoyang was coming back had already been transmitted back by his own soldiers and horses, Xu Shu and a group of subordinate officials were waiting outside the city gate, and when he saw Shaoyang's car, he immediately stepped forward, "Congratulations to the lord!"

"Everyone, hurry up!" jumped down from the carriage, Shaoyang personally helped Xu Shu up, except for the three brothers Zhang Jiao, the other powerful subordinates were here, and Zhang Jiao arrived in the White Emperor City the day before Shaoyang left the White Emperor City.

Shaoyang left them a communication ring to facilitate contact, not only handed over the people of the Wildfire Mercenary Group to them according to the original plan, but also introduced them to Shaotian Zhan, no accident, one of them will take over the patrol camp, and it is only a matter of time before he rules the underground world of White Emperor City, and I believe that the security of White Emperor City will definitely be more harmonious than ever before.

"Yuan Zhi, did you break through?" Guo Jia suddenly said in surprise.

When Shaoyang was about to speak, Guo Jia's behavior was a little rude, but Shaoyang didn't have any dissatisfaction, or he didn't care about it at all.

Xu Shu himself is a ninth-level peak great demon master, and at the same time, he has also comprehended the rudiments of the realm, if he breaks through again, won't he step into the holy realm? Shaoyang looked at Xu Shu and waited for him to confirm.

"Yes, I suddenly had an epiphany more than a month ago, and I took that last step, Zilong also broke through, Fengxiao, you should be similar. Xu Shu shook the feather fan lightly, with a calm smile on his face, and it was easy to see each other's strength among the summoned generals.

Shaoyang asked for specific details again, only to find out that that day was actually the day when he was canonized as the lord of the Northern Wilderness, but he didn't expect that not only the system was restored in advance and new functions were added, but even Xu Shu's strength was further improved, could it be that his lucky day was not successful, or was Xu Shu's breakthrough itself related to the system?

"It seems that the host has discovered that with the growth of the host's luck, not only will the system upgrade and change, but the strength of the host and the summoned generals will also become easier, Xu Shu himself is on the verge of breaking through, and he just seized the opportunity to become a holy domain, in addition, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's opportunity to comprehend the holy domain is also affected, if it is according to the host's original luck, it may not be so easy. ”

After its reminder, Shaoyang reviewed what had happened in the White Emperor City for more than two months, and was happy and surprised in his heart, the strength of the summoned generals improved faster It was naturally worth being happy, but he felt afraid, if he did not become the lord of the Northern Wilderness, Zhao Yun would not have been able to reach that level of strength, perhaps, the several crises encountered were likely to be unable to survive.

"Huh~" Shaoyang spit out, anyway, it's all over, no matter how dangerous it is, it won't all be safe, the next most important thing is the future development plan of the Northern Wilderness, take Xu Shu's hand and board the carriage again, and the others will follow closely back to the City Lord's Mansion.

It's still early, although this time I came back not to play in the mountains and rivers like when I went, but I didn't rush to leave, Shaoyang and the others didn't feel tired, and they simply washed up under the service of the maid, and gathered in the hall to discuss matters.

Unlike the previous two years, Xu Shu only relied on him alone, everything needed to be done by him, and now he has a lot of people under him, and he doesn't need to do things like reporting work at all, these things are taken over by Shi Yi.

"In the past two months, the registered population of the four cities under our actual control has increased by more than 20,000, which is also the result of raising the conditions for naturalization, and the floating population is estimated to have increased by more than 100,000, a large part of which is because the king was made a lord, and those city lords did not dare to stop the people from migrating. ”

"The tax revenue has not increased much compared with the same period last year, but this year's tax rate has been adjusted by half compared with last year, and the tax revenue has actually increased by more than 7-8 points. ”

"With the addition of 8,000 acres of tuntian, the land suitable for reclamation in the four cities has been reclaimed by the tuntian legion, and the cost of cultivating the remaining land is too high, so no new land has been reclaimed this month, and we are ready to start again after completely controlling the other cities. ”

......

The more important government affairs are population, commerce and agriculture, Xu Shu knows Shaoyang's habits, and they don't like to manage too much, so they just picked out the key points and talked about them again. Subsequently, due to the ban on reporting military work, the strength of Songhai City hardly changed, mainly due to some payment work and conflicts with werewolves.

Because the previous hatred was too great, even if the contacts with the lion tribe have become more and more frequent in the past two years, the relationship between Songhai City and the orc tribe has become more and more harmonious, but the relationship with the werewolf tribe has not improved, of course, this is also indispensable to the reason why Shaoyang Xu Shu and others deliberated after discussion.

How can others snore on the side of the couch, not to mention that the wolf has attacked several times and caused such a big sin, how can Shaoyang forget that although there was no large-scale conflict under the deliberate suppression of both sides, small groups of troops infiltrated each other's territory from time to time.

Like Guan Yu's Blue Dragon Legion, they were not in the Songhai City military camp at this time, but were stationed in Yangguan City, and even Guan Yu knew that Shaoyang was coming back before temporarily rushing back to Songhai City.

There is a strange scene in the hell at the junction of the two races, from time to time there are caravans coming and going between the two races, they will not be attacked in any way, but the conflict between the Songhai City army and the werewolf army is constant, and there have even happened near a caravan temporary camp, the two armies are fighting, and the caravan people are not worried.

It is precisely because of these conflicts that the strength of the soldiers in Songhai City can be rapidly improved, and more and more soldiers are advanced to the second-order army, and when the number of troops does not increase, the actual combat power has increased sharply.

Now that he has a lot of talents, at least there will be no shortage of manpower in the entire Northern Wilderness Territory.

Even if Shaoyang is too lazy to take care of specific trivial matters, he still needs to make the final decision in the general direction, Xu Shu and Guo Jia are just making suggestions on the side, and they will not make decisions for him, pondering for a while, and saying their thoughts.

"Since Lone has become the lord of the Northern Wilderness, he must control the entire Northern Wilderness as soon as possible, sixteen cities in the Northern Wilderness, and eleven are not under our control, tomorrow we will send a message to summon those city lords to Songhai City, if they are conscious, they will continue to serve as the city lord, if they are stubborn, they should also show them the strength of our Songhai City army. ”

Salute first and then soldier, this is Shaoyang's decision, these city lords have not weak strength in their respective cities, there is no need, Shaoyang doesn't want to wipe them out, those are the power of the Northern Wilderness Lord, not the power of his own lord.

However, Shaoyang doesn't care much about those city lords, and the six-part system of Songhai City can completely allow a city not to be affected too much after losing the city lord.
