The wedding of Li Yitian and Ye-Fengchi ended smoothly, and the Li family was naturally happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Li Yitian's return, Zhaoning City became stable and prosperous again. With Li Yitian, a high-level cultivator of the True Martial Realm, in charge, ordinary powerhouses didn't dare to peek at Ning Cheng at all.
Zhaoning City now has a population of tens of millions, which is really the standard of a big city.
After Li Yitian had a perfect newlywed life with Ye-Fengchi, he quickly devoted himself to his cultivation again. The re-expansion of Zhaoning City was also launched immediately after obtaining Li Yitian's approval.
After another expansion, Zhaoning City has surpassed the scale of Tianji City, and it is already a large city in the entire area.
Since the demon clan invaded the Ziheng Continent and moved away, the living space of the human race in Dongzhou was compressed again. The fall of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Chu Empire also made the people of the two countries even more panicked, and at this time, some powerful city lords began to consciously gather those exiled people.
As for the purpose of these city lords to collect the exiles, only they know it in their own hearts. And the reason why Li Yitian gathered the displaced people was a little passive.
When these homeless people flocked to Zhaoning City, it was the moment when the demons invaded the Dongzhou Continent, and the people of various cities were panicked in their hearts, wanting to find a powerful city as a place to live.
At this time, the geographical location of Zhaoning City was relatively backward, and the city lord Li Yitian also had heavy troops at that time, and wiped out the surrounding bandits in time, which made the people a Li Yitian is a city lord who can be relied on, and with the continuous invasion of the Demon Domain, various cities are constantly being breached, and Zhaoning City, which is in the rear, has become a hot place.
Although Li Yitian did not operate from it, Zhaoning City became more and more prosperous. Merchants from all over the world have gathered and taken a fancy to the feng shui treasure of Zhaoning City. The homeless people thought that this was a safe place, so they followed them to the city of Zhaoning.
"City Lord, now our Zhaoning City is already the largest city in the vicinity, but we only have 100,000 troops in our hands, do you want to consider the expansion of the army?" Zhou Tong said to Li Yitian.
Don't look at the number of 100,000 troops, but Zhaoning City is now very huge. In addition to the daily patrol team, the sergeants on duty at the head of the city and the guards of the four gates, the available soldiers in Li Yitian's hands are already very limited.
At this time, the situation on the mainland was very chaotic, and the influence of the Eastern Tang Dynasty on them here was also very weak, after all, they were separated from the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family established by Long Wuji from the demonized land, and they could not exchange news at all, let alone control the territory here.
As a civil official, Zhou Tong is a lively person. Now that the invasion of the Demon Domain has stopped, it is obvious that it has encountered great resistance, and it may even have reached some kind of agreement with the Wan Clan.
In this troubled world, as Zhou Tong, who is a civil servant, he naturally has his own plans. Now that Li Yitian's momentum is unmatched in Zhaoning City and the vicinity, Zhou Tong naturally thought of some plans that would be beneficial to him.
Zhou Tong had been operating in Zhaoning City for more than ten years, and he was the head of the civil officials in Zhaoning City before Li Yitian's arrival. And after Li Yitian came to Zhaoning City, Zhou Tong has always been in charge of internal affairs behind his back.
It can be said that without Zhou Tong, Li Yitian would not be able to be his hands-off shopkeeper so reassuringly. Now that Zhou Tong has put forward his opinion, Li Yitian can't sit idly by, after all, this is his own hero, and Li Yitian must also give him a certain amount of respect.
"Brother Zhou, what you said makes sense, now that this Zhaoning City is also growing day by day, it really needs more defense forces. However, most of the people here have just moved here, so it will not cause unnecessary panic if they are to be recruited rashly, so I don't think it is a good time to recruit soldiers. ”
Li Yitian politely rejected the other party's proposal, but said it very tactfully. After all, in the future, you will have to rely on others to clean up your backyard, and it is impossible to offend each other.
"Now that the people are a little stretched, I can send my Li family's sons and daughters to help you defend the city. The children of my family are all monks, and their combat effectiveness is naturally much stronger than those ordinary soldiers. Li Yitian told Zhou Tong his thoughts.
Now Li Yitian has no intention of separating one side, so he has not thought about recruiting troops. The children of the Li family are now all cultivating in the Black Wind Village, and it would be a good thing for them to let them experience it in Zhaoning City.
Zhou Tong's proposal this time was also to test Li Yitian, if Li Yitian had the intention to dominate the world, then he would inevitably unify and expand his military strength. But now Li Yitian did not agree, which made Zhou Tong a little disappointed.
But Zhou Tong naturally won't show it, he is a calm person, and everything will exist in his heart.
"Since the adults have such a good way, the lower officials are also relieved. Conscription does have the hidden danger of shaking the people's will, and it has not been considered before. Zhou Tong bowed his hand and apologized for his mistake.
"Brother Zhou, what are you talking about, you have been conscientious with the people of Ningcheng in the past few years, and we are all obvious to all, so you don't have to say such things. Li Yitian said with a smile, he was very satisfied with this Zhou Tong, so he was always commensurate with his brother, and he did not have a trace of the official authority of his boss.
"City Lord, I'll retire first, and I still have some official business to deal with. Zhou Tong got up to say goodbye, and Li Yitian had no intention of staying.
He knew what Zhou Tong meant very well, but Li Yitian had no intention of being the king among mortals, so he seemed a little absent-minded about this matter.
Li Yitian did not mean to arrange for the children of the family to enter Zhaoning City to accept defense, he just felt that it was not suitable to expand the army rashly, and the entry of the children of the Li family into Zhaoning City was also a good opportunity for training.
After Li Yitian gave this matter to Li Lundao, Li Lundao immediately sent a hundred of his own sons to Zhaoning City again to obey the dispatch. Fifty people had already presided over affairs in Zhaoning City before, and now sending another hundred people was already the biggest limit.
After all, the Li family is still mining the spirit stone veins in the Sunset Mountain Range, although there are more and more children of the Li family now, but the manpower is still not very sufficient. Compared with those veteran monk families that have developed for many years, Li Yitian's family is still much weaker.
And now the reason why the Li family has disciples who continue to join is that they are all gathered from other side branches. The branches of the Li family are extremely extensive, and now Li Yitian and his family have gradually developed, so they have also attracted many children of the Li family to come to take refuge.
Among the one hundred and eight branches of the Li family, many of them already have the intention of moving closer to Li Yitian, but now the situation on the mainland is very unstable, so they will linger and wait and see.
Until now, Li Yitian still didn't know his family's secrets, but he didn't have a chance to ask, with his current strength, he was already qualified to know many things. After all, the cultivators of the True Martial Realm are already very powerful, although they are still a little worse than those Great Emperor families, but they are already considered to be top existences in small families like Li Yitian and them.
"If I have the chance, I must go to the clan land to learn about my family's secrets. Li Yitian has long been very suspicious of his family, but the things that people in his own branch know are very limited, even the elders who came to Black Wind Village later are not far away from revealing too much about the family.
Li Yitian believed that as long as he wanted to know now, he would definitely be able to get the answer when he went to the clan land.
But now Li Yitian doesn't have time to care about this matter, now that his cultivation has undergone new changes again, he has to deal with his own cultivation matters.
Li Yitian stayed quietly in his room, and Ye Fengchi was chatting with his little sister at this time.
"I didn't expect the seed I planted to sprout so quickly, and that big tree actually had a sanity!" Li Yitian thought excitedly, and then quickly entered the cultivation state.
At this time, some wonderful changes occurred again on Li Yitian's Daoji Island, Li Yitian didn't know how to describe it, but he felt it very obviously.
Feeling the changes around him, Li Yitian felt that if he insisted on saying something different, it seemed that there was more vitality here.
"Could it be that the tree demon cultivated the spiritual wisdom, and this caused the change?" Li Yitian speculated, and then appeared next to the big tree he had cultivated before.
Now this dryad has the ability to communicate simply, and Li Yitian is also able to communicate with him. The dryad was like a newborn child, curious about everything around him.
Li Yitian didn't get any mysterious and useful news from the little tree demon, this little tree demon was like a newly born demon on the Ziheng Continent, it was no different.
And the two tree species in Li Yitian's middle and lower have also sprouted. These two small saplings grew very fast, Li Yitian only delayed outside for a few days, and the two small saplings on this small island had grown to be more than three feet tall.
"At this rate, I'm afraid that these two small trees will become towering trees in a short time. Is it because of the seeds? The seeds I planted are naturally very strong, hehe. Li Yitian smiled and looked at the two small saplings.
"Now there are already demons here, but I don't know if the demon beasts outside can survive here?" Li Yitian thought expectantly.
His ultimate goal was to move his family from the outside world, but that goal seemed difficult now. Therefore, Li Yitian wanted to confirm whether this place could be inhabited by animals.
If he can't even do that, then there is no need to talk about his family. (To be continued.) )
