In less than three months, when Chen An walked to the head of the city again, he found that it was completely different from three months ago. Not only has a lot of wasteland outside the city been reclaimed, but the population of the town has also been greatly improved. Even in the core of the town, there are still many shops, and most of the original workshops have been squeezed into other blocks.

Such a scene really proves the ability of gentleness, which also reminds Chen An of Emperor Zhou's actions in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he does not need to know the soldiers, nor does he need to know the government, as long as he knows the people, and puts the right people in the right position. Although he did not serve by Emperor Zhou's side for a few days and spent most of his time on missions, he was extremely impressed by Emperor Zhou.

Upon learning the news of his exit, Wen Liang found him as soon as possible, and reported to him the changes in the three towns over the past few days.

"The next 200 households promised by the clan have all been settled...... Now there are almost 610 households in Qicheng, 310 households in Qiancheng, and 420 households in Tancheng......"

"Huh, there are a hundred more households?" Chen An said strangely as he listened.

Wen Liang paused his report and looked at Chen An and said, "Indeed, there are probably dozens of wild people who have suffered disasters and taken refuge in us. ”

"Savage?

"It's the scattered tribes that live around," Wen Liang patiently explained, the initial rebelliousness had disappeared from the moment he completely decided to join Chen An, or that he had long lost his rebellious mood at his age, and at the beginning he behaved like this in order to sell himself for a good price, half of his body hit a wall, and now he finally has the opportunity to display his talents, how can he not cherish it.

"The origins of these wild people are complicated, some of them escaped from the Daqian mining area but lost their way and did not find the human gathering points such as the Twelve Liancheng, and had to establish villages outside to survive; some were small clans that did not integrate into the Twelve Liancheng in order to maintain their clan traditions when the city-state of all ethnic groups collapsed; some were totem tribes that had lived in remote mountains and forests since ancient times; and some were slave clans ruled by Inhumans; because the Inhuman tribes they served were wiped out by the blood demon tide and had to move to fend for themselves. ”

"For these people, the attitude of the Twelve Cities is that they do not refuse to be inclusive, so we have no scruples to directly organize them into households. ”

Chen An bowed slightly, he had also heard of this, the Twelve Cities were only the largest gathering place for humans, not the only one, there were many mountain tribes scattered outside, and there were more than a dozen large totem tribes participating in the last city-state council.

But these tribes are generally not large, the largest few are less than 10,000 households, and the small ones may only be a dozen households, and the ability to resist risks is extremely poor, although because of the small population, it will hardly attract the blood demon tide, but there is no need for the blood demon tide at all, and some scattered blood demons can destroy it. Wen Liang accepted a population of nearly 100 households, which may be the result of the simultaneous demise of several small tribes.

Next, Wen Liang reported to Chen An other related progress on city defense and weapons workshops, all of which were not leapfrog changes, and in just two or three months, the three towns were operated by them.

At the beginning, those people under Jin Ming's command were spread into all walks of life by him in the form of tentacles to lay a foundation, don't look at the stalls in the three towns are getting bigger and bigger, but if there is really a change, the places they can influence will definitely be able to penetrate into the most remote corners of the entire three towns.

The only drawback of the three towns under the gentle governance may be that the city defense is relatively weak, but this is also a matter of no choice, even if Chen An applies for a large number of low-grade soul cards, he can't realize all of them, after all, it takes time to fuse soul cards. More than two months have passed, and Jin Ming's command only has more than 200 more than nine grades, more than a dozen eighth-grade products, and only two or three six-seven grades, including Jin Ming himself.

After the Gaoyang clan's clan soldiers withdrew from the Three Towns City Defense Sequence a month ago, many of the city defense soldiers could only be replaced by ordinary people.

This is not only the helplessness of gentleness, but also the helplessness of the entire Twelve Cities.

If a person goes from fusing the nine-rank soul card to fusing the first-grade soul card without any accidents, it normally takes about twenty years, and some days to compress it to less than ten years, but most mediocre talents need more than thirty years. In other words, more than 30 years is the normal time for promotion.

And how can there be no accidents, not to mention anything else, just saying that the five products and the four products are a moat, and there is no one in the hundred who can break through without accidents since ancient times. It's this lucky person who doesn't have one in a hundred, and a lot of the previous blood demon tides will be taken away.

The lack of high-end combat power is the main reason for the gradual decline of the Twelve Cities. However, fortunately, in a war with the Qianjun a hundred years ago, although the city-state of all ethnic groups collapsed, the twelve cities re-established on its ruins have gained a lot of benefits from the post-war legacy, such as mechanism technology, the method of making mysterious weapons, and even the creation of cloud ships. And after that, it will be carried forward, so that ordinary people can also have good combat power, so that they can barely support in the next three blood demon tides.

Some people may think that the soul card is so difficult to fuse, it is better to practice the secret art directly, but in fact, the low-grade secret art is fine, and the medium-grade secret art each takes several years or even more than ten years to study and practice, and the high-grade secret art does not know how time-consuming.

Twenty years to reach one product, equivalent to two years of one product, although the process is relatively dangerous, often death alienation, but the time is really not long. Maybe in ancient times, people could spend tens or hundreds of years studying a secret art, but in the current Eastern Wilderness, when the average life expectancy of people is less than fifty, spending that time practicing secret art is really wasted, and it is no different from waste.

Therefore, the people of the Twelve Cities rely on the Fusion Soul Card to advance is really not lazy or take shortcuts, but they have to do it.

Chen An listened to the gentle report on the side, muttering in his heart.

Jiang Luhan handed over the three towns to him, of course he didn't have the reason to spit it out easily, this time he ended the retreat abruptly just to sort out the three towns, even if he had to temporarily withdraw in the future, he had to leave his own traces and reserve the capital to ride the wind in the future.

But he didn't expect that Wen Liang would do it directly without his orders, and it would be better than he expected, even if there was a real case and the three towns changed hands in name, they would still be the actual masters.

Chen An didn't think there was anything wrong with Wen Liang's hidden ambitions, now everyone is a community of interests, and it is the time to help each other in the same boat, and Wen Liang's strength can be said to be for him. Besides, he was not at all afraid that Wen Liang would usurp his position. This is the Eastern Wilderness, where the strong are respected, heroes are worshipped, and the bloodline theory is popular. In history, there are many big clans in the Eastern Wilderness that are in danger of losing their main lineage for various reasons, but the clan elders who assist them still respect the main lineage without abandoning them.

And not only in the Eastern Wilderness, but also in Daqian, the seventeenth family is extremely noble, although it is not like the Eastern Wilderness on the bright side, but there is still a difference between high and low in secret.

Therefore, as long as he maintains his strong strength at all times, even if the gentle Jin Ming master and apprentice have great power, it is impossible to usurp him, and even the position of his heir must be protected, so that their community of interests can last for a long time in the Eastern Wilderness.

Of course, the heir is a bit far away, Chen An has never thought of fighting for hegemony in the Eastern Wilderness, he has only one purpose from beginning to end, that is, to fight the Tai level, even if he can't enter the Tai level, as long as it causes chaos, he can let him abscond back to the Central Plains, he still has to find Xiaoguang, he has to avenge the Ma family, even if he pulls out the blood knife and enters the urn of power, he will not hesitate.

Glancing approvingly, Chen An said with concern: "It's really hard for a while, you should also pay attention to your body, the next road is not easy to walk, and you still need to do more for the people of the three towns." ”

Don't worry about Wen Liang's usurpation, the only thing to worry about is Wen Liang's body, Wen Liang himself is nearly 100 years old, and he was seriously injured when he was arrested, and even had a sickness on the wind car. As a celestial powerhouse, you will get sick, and the severity of your injuries can be imagined. Although he recovered from his illness in the end, it is really difficult to say that he has been living in this evil place.

If he is in Daqian, Chen An is really not worried at all, even if the celestial powerhouse has been injured or sick, as long as he is nourished by the sea of vitality at all times, he will definitely be able to survive for another hundred and ten years. But this is the Eastern Wilderness, an Eastern Wilderness that lives past fifty even if it is a long lifespan, Chen An doesn't want to lose such a capable arm, so this sentence is sincere.

Wen Liang replied: "Xie Commander cares, the old body is still tough. "His injury last time was indeed quite serious, and after he arrived in the Eastern Wilderness, he fell into the realm, and it was even more unbearable, but without doing anything with others, his physique did not deteriorate further, and even nourished with a nine-rank soul card, which allowed him to barely maintain the strength of the seventh-grade.

He looked at Wen Liang secretly with the Blood Spell and found that he was indeed fine, although his physique was constantly eroded by the evil qi, but in the end, it was a celestial phenomenon, and his body was naturally strong if he didn't practice, and it would not be a problem to live for more than ten years.

Chen An put down his mind and said: "That's good, but I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will have to trouble you in charge of the overall situation in the next period of time." ”

He originally wanted to stabilize the situation, but he didn't expect Wen Liang to do so well, so his plan immediately changed, ready to continue to study the method of the Nine Tricks of Divine Will, and now he wants to have territory and resources, and the only shortcoming may be that the background is too shallow, if he can make up for this shortcoming, no matter who he faces, he can have a lot of confidence.

Therefore, it is urgent to improve everyone's strength, this time he not only has to specialize in his own research, but also needs the cooperation of a person with a profound martial arts background, so he looked at Jin Ming behind Wen Liang and said: "The defense of the three towns may also need to be taken care of by Wen Lao, you can take care of it for the time being, this time I need to borrow Brother Jin." ”
