"Become an official?" When these two identities came into Li Jingxuan's mind, his eyes inevitably widened.

"Learn the art of cultural relics and sell them to the emperor's family. "The idea of learning literature and being an official and the idea of martial arts and cultivating immortals have always been the two ultimate aspirations in the hearts of the Chinese people. This point, even in the era in which Li Jingxuan lived, did not change in the slightest. And compared with the ideals of martial arts and cultivating immortals, which seem to be a little "middle two", the idea of Xi Wen becoming an official seems to be more realistic. Although there are no longer any privileges for officials in modern terms, the national examination for recruiting civil servants every year is overcrowded. The number of participants in the national examination, which is refreshed every year, has deduced the fierce competition of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge to the limit.

To tell the truth, who has never imagined that he would live majestically in the lobby, take the ruling side, and make everyone submit.

It's just that when this idea turned into reality in the phantom array, Li Jingxuan's feeling was not very good. He didn't know if the situation on He Chaozhi and Jin Yu's side was similar to his side, but it was obvious that the problems that he was facing were a bunch of problems.

"It's troublesome, huh?" Li Jingxuan grumbled. It happened that Tang He also woke up from reading the information and opened his eyes, so Li Jingxuan asked him in a low voice: "The situation in this city is very bad, can we temporarily abandon this place and find a new stronghold?"

"Give up, find a new stronghold, this is impossible!" Tang He's eyes widened and he looked at Li Jingxuan like a fool for a while: "Don't you know the importance of the Novice City? In this phantom array, this Novice City that we initially obtained is equivalent to the capital of a country, and it cannot be given up unless he is broken by the enemy. And once it is broken by the enemy, it naturally proves our defeat!

So, you don't have to think about it so much, instead of thinking about those vain things, you should spend some time developing this broken city. I know the situation in this city is not good, so this is the time for your efforts. Well, I'll take care of the military side, but the rest is entirely up to you. Don't let me down!"

"Don't let you down...... That's a big burden. Li Jingxuan whispered in his heart, but his face was cold, he whispered "um", and he agreed.

However, Li Jingxuan knew that he was just a newcomer, and it was the first time he had faced such a phantom array. He didn't quite understand what he could and couldn't do in this phantom array. At this time, he felt that he needed someone who was familiar with the phantom array to guide him. Undoubtedly, Tang He, who has a certain understanding of the phantom array, is the best candidate for this.

"That...... Tang He, can you wait and go! I have some questions for you. Li Jingxuan stopped Tang He, who wanted to rush to the barracks immediately.

"Hmm, what's the problem?" Tang He looked at Li Jingxuan puzzled.

"To put it simply, it's the rules of this phantom array or something. You know, it's the first time I've been in a place like this. What can I do here and what do I need to pay attention to...... I don't know any of that. I need your help. Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly and said his request very bluntly: "I hope you can help me give me some guidance." ”

"Huh?" Tang He was slightly stunned, and then understood what Li Jingxuan meant. So, he agreed to come down and stood by Li Jingxuan's side again.

"I think you've gotten the basic information about this city from the Phantom Array. That's not enough, though...... At least not enough for you to give the relevant orders. You need to get more information. By Li Jingxuan's side, Tang He said eloquently: "Although the people here don't seem to be so smart because the phantom array is only at the magic weapon level, this stupidity is only for most people here, in fact, some people here are still very smart." For example, my lieutenant general, join the army, and your side of the political envoy, general judge, imperial history...... They are all people with considerable intelligence, and they are the help that the Phantom Array has prepared for you. If you want to know what's going on, you have to call them in for careful questioning. ”

"Ask, the political envoy, the general judgment and the imperial history?" Li Jingxuan muttered to himself. In this era for so many years, although he has always practiced penance among sects, Li Jingxuan still understands some basic common sense. For example, the three official positions mentioned by Tang He, Li Jingxuan knew their respective responsibilities:

The political envoy is in charge of the people, and all civil affairs are responsible for the political envoy;

He is in charge of public security, and all criminal law and law and order matters are managed by him;

The Imperial Historian, on the other hand, has the responsibility of supervision, not only as a supervising official, but also as a manager of the region's intelligence outlets - an official position that is half in the sun and half in the dark. Of course, this is somewhat different from the real world, where the Imperial History is only responsible for supervising officials, while the management of intelligence outlets is under the name of another official. And here I don't know why, but these two responsibilities are combined.

"Maybe it's because of the official position here, although it is said to be a Taishou, but it is actually because of the king?" Li Jingxuan suddenly had such an explanation in his heart. This is quite possible, after all, the information given to them by the Phantom Array does not have the concept of a so-called imperial court here.

"Okay!" After listening to Tang He's explanation, Li Jingxuan understood what he should do now. He stepped out of the lobby. At this time, it was not dark, and the bright sunlight splashed on the earth, making the temperature of his skin rise a little. However, it's just some, through the skin's perception of temperature, Li Jingxuan knows that the current season is still relatively mild, maybe it's still spring.

Outside the lobby, there were a few people dressed as officials standing upright. Their faces were blank and looked a little old-fashioned, much like what Tang He said lacked intelligence. After all, this is just a magic weapon, not a magic weapon or a spiritual treasure, and it is normal to lose some agility.

Besides, these people are the lowest-level ****, and the phantom array will naturally not make them so smart. It's just that no matter how low their intelligence is, they will still know something. For example, being called to find someone.

"Go and bring me the envoys, the judges, and the imperial history. Li Jingxuan commanded in a low voice.

"Yes, my lord!" replied Mu Mu, and turned to leave.

Li Jingxuan returned to the lobby and waited. After a while, three people came together and stood in front of Li Jingxuan.

Li Jingxuan looked at them, his eyes swept over their faces with a hint of majesty, and he immediately distinguished the identities of several of them: although the three of them were wearing cyan official uniforms and their faces were also very similar, their temperament and the complement on top of the official uniform clearly distinguished their positions. It is the political envoy who is very majestic in the name of the heron complement, the one who has a bit of arrogance in the white pheasant complement is the general judgment, and the one who has a bit of iron and blue face in the name of the piggin complement is the imperial history.

The three of them came in, and the Taishou and the lieutenant were there, but after respectfully doing a reason, they stood quietly in front of the two. Although their intelligence is high, they are not so free to be as free as real people, and they can greet people at will. Talking like a human being, not being so dull, that's the level of intelligence they can achieve.

Before they arrived, Tang He whispered something like this in Li Jingxuan's ear: "Don't chat with them, they won't chat with you, just talk normally and ask questions." ”

"Understood!" Li Jingxuan nodded heavily, and realized in his heart: "In short, these people, just treat them as robots with a certain intelligence." Li Jingxuan defined it in his heart.

So, after the three of them saluted him, he asked his own question directly: "Three, tell me the current situation of the city and the surrounding information." The city is not good right now, and I need to know why they are like this. Only by knowing the cause can we come up with a solution to the problem. ”

"Okay!" the three nodded, and then began to explain:

Pingzhou City is a seaside mountain city located on the edge of the hills, and its territory does not have many fields, mainly relying on fishing and foreign trade for its livelihood. Because of foreign trade, Pingzhou City has also accumulated a sum of money, but this money has caused some people to have bad thoughts. Last month, the pirate Roth forced 50,000 pirates to invade the city, and they breached the city and plundered its finances. Pingzhou was hit hard by this, most of the 3,000 defenders of Pingzhou were killed in battle, and now the soldiers in Pingzhou City for city defense are all novices who have been caught in the barracks in the past month, and they are almost all rookies.

Due to the destruction of the city defense army, Pingzhou City's control of the surrounding area suddenly went into trouble. The current situation is that the power of Pingzhou City only exists within the city. The wilderness of Pingzhou City is only five miles away, and five miles away has become a paradise for bandits and bandits, who wreak havoc there, completely blocking Pingzhou's contact with the outside world.

“...... Now Pingzhou City is like an isolated island. We can't get out, and no one else can get in. Grain, grass and money in Pingzhou City have become a big problem...... The whole city only has enough food and grass for a month, if there is any problem. We're just afraid...... The whole city will starve to death. With a bitter face, the political envoy ended his entire intelligence explanation with such a paragraph.

"Is it really that bad?" Li Jingxuan's brows furrowed tightly.

"It's that bad!" the envoy nodded heavily, and he was helpless against the current situation.

"Why don't you send someone to another city for help, borrow their power to break the blockade of the thieves? I remember, you said that there are magic weapons in the city that can be connected to other cities. Li Jingxuan asked her doubts.

"After the city was blocked by thieves, the magic weapon we used to communicate with other cities lost its original function. We don't know what that's all about. The political envoy spread his hands helplessly: "We have tried this matter several times. ”

"That's it!" Li Jingxuan somewhat understood this. He estimated that this was another trick on the rules of the phantom array itself.

"So, our biggest problem now is the harassment of those thieves?" Li Jingxuan concluded.

"That's right! The thieves and bandits have blocked the city, so that we can't even carry out spring ploughing, what a sin. The envoy lamented.

"Then how much is left in the treasury of the state city now?" Li Jingxuan asked again.

"Three hundred pieces of money, three thousand stones of grain and grass -- these are only enough for a month's needs in the city. The political envoy's answer made Li Jingxuan's heart sink uncontrollably.

"Looks like we're going to have to fix this soon. As long as we can break the blockade of the thieves, we will be able to unlock the first shackle of Pingzhou City?" Since this is the case......" Li Jingxuan's eyes froze, and then he gave an order: "Tang He, the military side depends on you." Train the remaining 500 people well, and strive to put together the most elite and powerful team in half a month. The number of people should not be too many, about a hundred is enough. ”

"Select a hundred elites from five hundred?" Tang He was slightly stunned, and then understood what Li Jingxuan's thoughts were: "Don't worry, this matter will be left to me." But......" He frowned a little distressedly: "The more elite the army, the more grain and grass it needs, and there is not much money and grain in the state city, if it is too practiced, the state city can still support it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, you are only responsible for training the soldiers. You can leave the rest to me!" Li Jingxuan waved his hand indifferently and played the package ticket.

"Okay!" Since Li Jingxuan was so confident, Tang He naturally had no more opinions. That's how it was settled.

The matter has been decided, and Tang He will naturally no longer stay in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jingxuan asked him to do it, and he was confident to do it. But to do this, he needs to hurry up and not relax for a moment. Now that Li Jingxuan had given the order, he knew that his mission had begun, and there was not much time left for him now, he had to act as soon as possible.

Tang He just walked like this, and Li Jingxuan, who understood the real situation in Pingzhou City, also took action. After having the corresponding information, Li Jingxuan used his own means. He knew what Pingzhou City lacked, so he targeted all the merchants in Pingzhou City.

The merchants had money and food, but Pingzhou City was short of money and food, and Li Jingxuan's idea was to let the two communicate with each other. To this end, he contributed a part of his technology. He used his privilege as an official to coerce, and used these technologies as a pledge condition, and succeeded in obtaining a batch of money and food from the hands of these merchants.

Li Jingxuan divided the money and grain into two parts, one part was given to Tang He to support him to supply the army, and the other part was kept by him as his own start-up capital to develop the city. After all, everything needs to be supported by enough money and food. Although the current situation is very crisis, Li Jingxuan still feels that he has not reached the desperate situation of exhaustion. He still had some plans in mind that he felt could turn things around. (To be continued.) )
