CHAPTER XXIII

Although he learned some things about Sanzong, after going around for a long time, Ren Chuchu still did not explain the origin of the name "Sanyuan City".

It's just that Sanyuan City is an independent city, not under the control of the Three Sects, and has an autocratic city lord's mansion.

"Chu Chu, you still haven't mentioned why the city is called 'Sanyuan', not 'Sanzong'."

Xia Liu is also used to chatting with Ren Chuchu about the errand station, Ren Chuchu is like a walking TV, and it is also the kind that returns from the rain, and will switch channels by himself.

Ren Chuchu didn't feel that there was a problem at all, and naturally took over the topic,

"The Northern Regions are divided into seven states and forty-two counties, because there are two thousand miles of Black Dragon Mountain Range, so the county where we are located is called Black Dragon County. Sanyuan City belongs to the jurisdiction of Heilong County, Heilong County is under the jurisdiction of Weizhou, a large city with a population of one million like Sanyuancheng, there are more than 300 in Weizhou, and a small city like Qingcheng, there are thousands of Weizhou. ”

Xia Liu wondered if Ren Chuchu had done the census, how could he know so many things.

But then again, there are more than 300 cities with a population of one million, so isn't the population of this dangerous state at least 300 million?

There are thousands of small cities like Qingcheng, adding up to nearly 400 million people?

There are seven such states in the Northern Regions, which means that the population of one Northern Region is nearly 3 billion?

Isn't the population of the entire continent more than 10 billion, damn me, what the hell?

"I heard my father say that Weizhou ranks low among the seven states, and if you comprehensively rank according to population, economy and strength, Weizhou is only ranked fifth, only stronger than the westernmost Murozhou and Bizhou."

"The war between Murozhou and Bizhou has been going on for many years, and the economy and population are naturally backward, but the combat power is much stronger than that of the dangerous state. Moreover, among the six counties of Weizhou, Heilong County is also decent, and there is no bright spot. Compared with places like Zhou City and Wangcheng, it is simply a poor and remote country. The world is far bigger than we can imagine, and my dream is to go to the middle of the region mentioned by my great-grandfather. ”

Ren Chuchu talked about his ideals and smiled sweetly.

The country is laughing here, but the Xia Liu on the other side is messy. I always thought that the Northern Regions and the three eastern provinces were so big, but they were super territories with seven states and forty-two counties, with a population of more than three billion people, counting the non-inhabited areas that were as big as the two thousand miles of the Black Dragon Mountain Range at every turn, how vast was the area of the Northern Regions, Xia Liu began to doubt his life.

Seeing that Ren Chuchu was going to continue to explain the geography and culture of the Northern Regions, Xia Liu hurriedly adjusted the platform manually, his brain had already received too much information, and if he talked about the Northern Regions and the Central Regions, Xia Liu was afraid that he would not be able to bear the stimulation.

"Chu Chu, Chu Chu, hey, stop talking about dreams, do you know the meaning of 'Sanyuan City'?"

Ren Chuchu, who was interrupted by Xia Liu, was obviously very angry, but he had no way to beat the third son, so he had to snort softly,

"Sanyuan City is under the management of the county town, and the city lord of Heilong County is awarded the title of the royal city and ranks as the uncle."

"Hei Longbo has 100,000 ironclad troops, except for 20,000 stationed in the county town, the remaining 80,000 are guarding the forty main cities under his command, and each city has 2,000 ironclad troops, responsible for collecting taxes."

Xia Liu's face was black, how could two thousand soldiers defend a big city with a population of one million.

As if he could guess Xia Liu's thoughts, Ren Chuchu chuckled and said,

"The Iron Armor Army in the Northern Regions is all composed of monks above the tenth level of the Qi Refining Realm, and although their talents are limited, it is difficult for them to form a Dan in this life. But they are well-trained in the army, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of monks of the same level, and they can set up formations, and they can easily cross the line and kill people when combined with formations. ”

"Their purpose is not to defend the city, but to supervise taxes, this is not a frontier, and the highest combat power of the City Lord's Mansion is usually not above the Yuanying realm. No sect dares to go against the City Lord's Mansion, if anyone dares to fight the military's idea, what they are waiting for will be the trial of the Black Dragon County City, and the Black Dragon Bo only needs to transfer a team of personal guards to level the three sects. ”

When Xia Liu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

History is always similar, and the people do not fight with the officials. In the fights and killings on the rivers and lakes, the imperial court will not intervene excessively. However, if anyone provokes the military and government without opening his eyes, then in exchange for an iron-blooded blow.

The 100,000 ironclad army, all composed of monks above the tenth level of qi refining, are well-trained, brave in battle, and can also defend against the enemy in formation. Such a security force is only for the purpose of supervising taxes, isn't this equivalent to the urban management brigade?

What kind of luxurious lineup should the regular army guarding the frontier be? Xia Liu was even more messy.

"The city lord of Sanyuan City, I don't know who it is. All I know is that he is a general in the late stage of the Yudan Realm. The two thousand ironclad troops were divided into ten teams, and the main and deputy captains were all cultivators of the foundation realm, and they took turns to patrol the city. ”

"Originally, the city was called Yuancheng, but the reason why it was renamed Sanyuan City was because of the agreement reached between the three sects and the city lord's mansion hundreds of years ago, each sect sent an elder of the Yuanying realm to come to the city to serve as an offering, these three elders have been in retreat in the city lord's mansion all the year round, and if there is an emergency in the city, they will take action and give the troublemakers a thunderous blow. This is the origin of the 'ternary'. ”

Correspondingly, each of the three cases can receive 10% of the tax of the year as remuneration each year. This kind of management is very common in various states and counties, after all, no matter how strong the royal city is, it cannot manage tens of billions of people on its own. ”

Without waiting for Ren Chuchu to continue, Xia Liu interrupted again. But this time it's not that Ren Chuchu is off topic, or when he heard tens of billions, Xia Liu was a little blindsided.

"Tens of billions? Isn't it three billion? Your tens of billions refer to the population of the entire continent, right? The royal city refers to the king of the Northern Regions, right? ”

Ren Chuchu could fully understand Xia Liu's reaction, and when Ren Chuchu consulted the information and understood the size of the world, he also felt incredible.

"There are seven billion people in the Northern Regions, and Wang Cheng must be referring to our Xuanwu Palace. The Tianlong Empire is divided into five major domains, eastern, western, southern, northern, and central, the emperor is in the middle region, and each of the four regions has a royal palace, which is the Qinglong Mansion in the Eastern Regions, the White Tiger Mansion in the Western Regions, the Vermilion Bird Mansion in the Southern Regions, and the Xuanwu Palaces in our northern regions. ”

"I heard that the prosperity of the Central Domain is far better than that of the Four Great Domains, and the combined area of the Four Domains is equivalent to that of the Central Domain."

Xia Liu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, hey, this empire is inevitably too exaggerated.

The population of just one northern region is more than the total population of the earth, so how big is the planet I am on now? Beitang Chun and I boasted that we wanted to become famous in the world, and to her ears, would she think that my head was filled with water in the lake, and would she think that I was an idiot?

Oh my God, what the hell is this place.

Just when Xia was in his mind, Ren Chuchu restrained the horse.

"Little San, we're here."
