Chapter 497: The City Lord of Chifeng City

♂

Within three days, Wang Yu flew through the sky and traveled through more than 100 cities in the territory of the former Great Shang Empire, appointing the city lords of each city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He asked these city lords to collect the surrounding land from the empire, directly lease it to the people to cultivate, and select the strong people from the defenders who are above the middle stage of the Dacheng Realm to go directly to the imperial capital and join the empire's combat reserve corps, and at the same time select the strong people above the middle stage of the Xiaocheng Realm to go to Chifeng City and join the Chifeng Legion, one of the ten standing army million legions of the empire.

At dusk, Wang Yu Yukong came to the vicinity of Chifeng City.

This magnificent city was formerly known as the Shang Capital, which was the capital of the original Great Shang Empire, and after Wang Yu led the Western Expedition of the Great Zhou Empire to capture the Shang Capital, it was renamed Chifeng City, and let Shang Rong, the princess of the original Great Shang Empire, become the city lord of this Red Phoenix City.

From a distance, the banner of the Xuanhuang Empire and a banner embroidered with a red phoenix stood side by side at the head of the city, gently fluttering against the soft east wind.

It seems that Chifeng City has received the news of Zhou Wan'er's accession to the throne.

The reason why Wang Yu circled around the territory of the original Great Shang Empire and finally came to Chifeng City was not only because he wanted the city lords of other cities to select the elite of the defenders and rush to Chifeng City to form the Chifeng Legion, but also because he was a little frightened by Shang Rong in his heart.

Since Shang Rong left him and returned to Chifeng City a few months ago, Wang Yu hadn't come to see her, and she hadn't come to see Wang Yu.

She has a hot personality, and it really makes Wang Yu feel incredible that she can keep her duty for such a long time and stay quietly in Chifeng City as her city lord.

He always felt a little unsteady in his heart, and he didn't know what Shang Rong was doing.

He stood in mid-air, and saw that Chifeng City was heavily guarded, and the lights in the city had been turned up, and the lights were brilliant everywhere, and the crowd was bustling, a prosperous scene.

It seems that Shang Rong, the city lord, has done quite well, this big city has experienced two major wars in the past year, most of the people in the city have fled, and all industries have withered, but I didn't expect that under her governance, it is now not only completely restored, but also more prosperous than before.

Wang Yu took advantage of the night and fell quietly directly in the City Lord's Mansion, that is, the palace of the former Great Shang Empire.

In front of it is Shang Rong's dormitory, the lights are on in the hall, and her two personal maids stand at the door.

Wang Yu walked over quietly.

The two maids recognized Wang Yu, and when they saw him suddenly appear in front of them, they couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, and they opened their mouths to scream.

Wang Yu hurriedly put the index finger of his right hand to his lips, signaled them to keep quiet, and then walked lightly into the dormitory.

Shang Rong was wearing a bright red silk nightgown, sitting on the dresser with his back to his back, his chin in his hand, and he was in a daze there.

Wang Yu coughed lightly.

Shang Rongjiao's body trembled, and he quickly turned his head backwards, but halfway through, he slowly turned back again.

"Are you here?" she said coldly, her body motionless.

Wang Yu walked up to her and chuckled, "I'm going to pounce on you impatiently, when did you become so reserved?"

Shang Rong snorted, and turned around as he sat on the brocade stool in front of the dresser.

"Do you think I can't live without you?"

She pouted, looking at Wang Yu with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Wang Yu said with a smile: "Of course you can live, and you can live quite well, otherwise Red Phoenix City would not have become so prosperous!"

Shang Rong glanced at him, and snorted softly: "Your Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, and you have only been waiting for her for a few days in the imperial capital, why did you come to my Red Phoenix City?"

Wang Yu said lightly: "I only stayed in the imperial capital for one day, and I came out three days ago. ā€

"Only one day?" Shang Rong's beautiful eyes immediately widened.

"Yes," Wang Yu nodded with a stiff face, "Wan'er is more reserved than you, she hasn't seen me for a few months, and she didn't take me seriously!"

"The ghost only believes it!" Shang Rong pursed his lips, "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, she couldn't wait to go to that border town to find you!"

Wang Yu said with a smile: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you, I came out of the imperial capital this time, and I was entrusted by Her Majesty the Empress to have something important to do." ā€

After speaking, he took out the authorization edict from his arms and handed it to Shang Rong.

Shang Rong read it carefully, returned the edict to Wang Yu, and asked curiously, "These statecraft were thought up by Your Majesty the Empress?"

Wang Yu couldn't hide it from her, so he said truthfully: "I came up with it." ā€

Shang Rong stood up from the brocade stool, looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said proudly: "How is my Red Phoenix City governed?"

Wang Yu smiled and said: "The governance is good, it seems that you said that you would share half of the territory of the Great Shang Empire, establish the Red Phoenix Empire, and be the empress of the Red Phoenix Empire, you were prepared for a long time, not on a whim, but ......"

He looked at her, the smile on his face disappearing, and he frowned slightly.

"But what?" Shang Rong couldn't help frowning slightly.

Wang Yu said: "There are many remnants of the Great Shang Empire in the Central Plains of Chifeng City, and if you want to return the land in the hands of those powerful and powerful to the empire, I am afraid it will make you embarrassed." ā€

Shang Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wang Yu looked at her and said suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

Shang Rong said: "The land around Chifeng City is mine, and if it is owned by the empire, it will be owned by the empire, what is it difficult for me?"

"The land around Chifeng City is all yours?"

"Yes, this Red Phoenix City fell into the hands of the Demon Heaven Empire once, and then fell into our hands, two wars in a row, those powerful and powerful have already escaped, after I became the city lord, I took all the ownerless land for myself, and then rented it to the people to cultivate, and subsidized them with seeds and farm tools, only one season of crops came down, and the pockets of those poor people swelled.

The prosperity of my Red Phoenix City is the prosperity of all the people, not the prosperity of the powerful and powerful at the beginning.

Now many former magnates and magnates have come to me with land deeds to ask for land, and I have been kicked out!"

Wang Yu was surprised and delighted, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Shang Rong looked at him, raised his head proudly, and said rather conceitedly: "How do I compare with your Majesty the Empress?"

Wang Yu smiled and said: "Wan'er, she is gentle and virtuous, Rong'er, you are hot and unrestrained." ā€

Shang Rong glanced at him: "I said in terms of governing the country!"

Wang Yu smiled and said, "Half a catty and eight taels, or I'll go talk to Wan'er and let her take turns with you to be the empress of the Xuanhuang Empire." ā€

Shang Rong said: "This is not necessary, not only do I not want to be the empress, but I don't even want to be the city lord of this Red Phoenix City, I am busy dealing with all kinds of political affairs all day long, and I am annoyed to death, and now the people from the various imperial sects of the Xuanhuang Continent led by the two elders of the Great Zhou Empire are gathered in Honghuang Mountain, and they want to join forces to kill you, the demon, I can just help you go to crusade against them together!"
