Chapter 226: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Now the entire city lord's mansion has become Wei City's.
He stood on the tall gate tower and looked down on the one-square-kilometer complex.
Inside carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and water pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, flowers and flourishing scenery continue.
It can be seen that the people who built this city lord's mansion were very attentive, and every courtyard seems to have a story.
About talented and beautiful women, about talented women, about love.
It's really a sad place for the old man.
Judging from the pattern of the City Lord's Mansion, he once married at least ten City Lord's wives, and they should all be the best in the world, but Shaohua is easy to grow old, the beauty is twilight, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and then turned into a pile of dry bones, leaving only the old man alone.
Even a few generations later, even his own sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren died.
Thinking of the little children who used to babble, and thinking of the beautiful wives and concubines who used to be in the twilight, are now all gone, what a tragic thing in the world.
It must be very painful to be an immortal ancestor.
Therefore, Wei Cheng was able to understand the thoughts of those who were obsessed with cultivating immortals and seeking immortality throughout the ages.
"Immortal!"
Wei Cheng sighed lightly, floated down, and placed the huge coffin sealed with the Blood Demon Orb in the center of the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't know how the old man had carried it with him, but he had to figure out how to fix it.
And before that, he had one thing to decide.
The situation has changed, do you want to continue to rebuild and expand Fuyun City?
The two places are separated by five hundred miles, and even if it is an innate martial artist, it will take a day to make a round trip, unless it is Lingyan.
Once something happens, it's too late to support.
So why don't you retract your fists and concentrate all your power in one place?
Wei Cheng pondered, and also looked at the lifelike sand table in front of him, which was marked with a topographic map of the entire Tiannan County.
Judging from the topographic map of this sand table.
More than 200 miles west of Cangwu City, is a big river, the east bank of the big river is a large alluvial plain, five or six hundred miles from north to south, two or three hundred miles from east to west, worthy of a thousand miles of fertile fields.
In the area west of Cangwu City and east of the big river, there are still three small cities, and more than ten towns have not been affected, and now there are about more than 100,000 indigenous people living there.
Even if the last time the three-headed crow led the demon army to besiege Cangwu City for thirteen days, it could not be affected, because these three-headed crows came from the northeast, that is, starting from the Wind Demon Mountain, passing through Fuyun City, and finally arriving at the foot of Cangwu City.
To the west of the Great River, there is another county of the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, named Canglang.
Generally speaking, there is a big river as a natural risk, and the west of Cangwu City can temporarily ensure stability.
However, the east of Cangwu City, especially the Wind Demon Mountain in the northeast, is a huge factor of instability.
Then, it is very necessary to block the Floating Cloud City between Cangwu City and Wind Demon Mountain.
Wei Cheng's gaze wandered over the sand table.
The current location of Floating Cloud City is actually not good, after all, the original purpose was to mine the dark iron ore.
And if you want to contain the Wind Demon Mountain, or if you want to block the demon army from the Wind Demon Mountain, it is necessary to change positions.
Of course, there is no urgency in this matter.
If you can, it's best to conscript natives to build a city, and the trialist's time should be spent cultivating.
Thinking of this, Wei Cheng took out the secret letter.
It was sent by a friend of the old city lord, and it was recorded in the jade talisman.
Difficult to check in the usual way, Wei Cheng studied for a moment and found that he had to use an out-of-body spirit to view it.
After a little hesitation, he chose the spirit out of the nine orifices, and when his out-of-body spirit fell on this jade talisman, he immediately felt a wisp of power slowly pulling, and in an instant, the light and shadow changed, and Wei Cheng seemed to be in a beautiful and magnificent palace.
In this palace, there are light songs and dances, and a feast is being held.
And here the master sat high on top, holding a gorgeous wine glass, half drunk and half awake, smiling wantonly.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at Wei Cheng and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, after a long time, are you okay recently?" ”
Wei Cheng was stunned, but the owner didn't seem to know that the viewer had changed to someone else, or if this was not happening in real time, as if it was a panoramic video.
He just entered it in a similar way to a VR game pod......
In addition, the old man's surname is Qin.
He was thinking so, but the master stopped talking, just looked at him with a smile, what the hell?
"Well, I'm fine."
The ghost envoy of Wei Cheng replied with a message.
"Okay? Brother Qin has fallen to this point now, and he doesn't even bother to say perfunctory words, just who is not a bunch of troubles. ”
"Recently, the wind demon suppressed under the Wind Demon Mountain is ready to move again, and there are many demon winds in the world, which have destroyed several county towns and dozens of villages one after another, and I will report this matter, but there is no news from the Shenjing side of the Immortal Dynasty, and we are really left to fend for ourselves in these small border counties."
"Brother Qin, do you still have extra spirit stones in your treasury? And lend me one or two, I am grateful, if there are elite soldiers, also lend me three or five thousand, the wind demon is raging, the people are not living, that day the extreme sect, the floating cloud sect, and the purple cloth gate are only perfunctory without pain, and I don't know if Tiannan County falls into the hands of the wind demon, will they still laugh? ”
"That's it, I'm tired, Brother Qin, he'll talk about it later."
"It's fine."
Wei Cheng replied again, who knew that it actually caused the master to say again: "Brother Qin, today, you have a lot of worries, can you tell me about it?" ”
What the hell is this?
It can't be an online chat, right? And he's stealth now?
Wei Cheng's heart moved.
"There are no extra spirit stones in my treasury, so why don't you give me a gift or two first, or give me a teleportation array."
As soon as the words fell, the master replied in seconds.
"Hah! Brother Qin still wants to help me, don't even think about it, it's a teleportation array, I really have one here, but you have to do me a favor. ”
"Let's talk about it."
"Simple, help me destroy the three demons of wind and dust, and this teleportation array will be sent. They're entrenched in Stormmagic Mountain, and I have a lot of official business, so I can't spare time-"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Wei Cheng resolutely agreed, if there was a teleportation array between Fuyun City and Cangwu City, it would be of great strategic significance.
But then again, why is there no teleportation array between Cangwu City and Tiannan County?
Wei Cheng was a little curious, but after thinking about it, the treasury of these two places was so poor that he even had to give money to the spirit stones, and he couldn't use the teleportation array.
"Therefore, getting enough spirit stones is necessary for long-term development."
"It's just, why is there a lack of spirit stones in the Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
This question came to Wei Cheng's mind, and he immediately felt that it was too funny.
Because this is similar to why earthlings are short of money.
In other words, who is not short of money?
Next, Wei Cheng took out the low-level alchemy secret technique, the low-level alchemy secret technique, the content inside was like a vast ocean, very complicated, and it was a fool's dream to master it in a short period of time.
And the current situation, I'm afraid he won't be able to have extra time to master, so it wouldn't be a good thing to pick out some trusted life career trialists with extremely high qualifications and hand over these two secret techniques to them to master.
However, people hate less when they use it.
Suddenly, there was such a big stall of industry, and Wei Cheng felt a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, his figure swept up quickly, and in a blink of an eye, he had already come to the city gate tower, and looked down, the old shopkeeper of the floating cloud iron line was standing alone in the huge square at this moment.
And his identity behind his back is the head of the Floating Cloud Sect, his strength is strong, and he once severely injured Chiyao, who was already seriously injured and sealed, with one move.
Unexpectedly, less than half a day after Wei Cheng took office as the city lord, he came to the door.
"Little friend, congratulations!"
The old man was neither happy nor angry, and stood there, but he put a lot of pressure on Wei Cheng.
"What's the joy? I think I'm being pitted, and now Cangwu City is constantly troubled by internal and external troubles, and the kid is not talented, and he has to ask the old-timers for guidance. ”
Wei Cheng stood on the tower of the city gate, slightly arching his hand, mainly because he was a little unsure of the thoughts of this Floating Cloud Sect.
It stands to reason that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, but what does this old man mean when he comes alone?
"I don't dare to be a maze, but my Floating Cloud Sect has a contract with the previous city lord, and now Xiaoyou has succeeded to the position of city lord, I don't know if I want to continue to fulfill this contract?"
"Contract? What contract? Can the seniors make it clear! Wei Cheng was stunned, very surprised, he didn't know about it at all.
But the old shopkeeper of the Fuyun Iron Line did not explain, but squinted his eyes, looked at Wei Cheng for a moment, and suddenly gave up his hand.
"In this way, the old man has nothing to say, the city lord, please stay, and the old man will go."
With that, the old man turned and left.
Wei Cheng watched his back go away, and his eyes sharpened.
After a while, Xu Shan and Xue Xindong came in a hurry.
"Lao Wei, it's not good, Fuyun Tiexing is leaving, that is, the meaning of moving away, divestment!"
Afraid that Wei Cheng wouldn't understand, Xu Shan also explained.
"How many people are gone?"
"It's not a question of how many people there are, the Great City Lord of Wei is dominated by Fuyun Tie, a total of 372 shops, together with their shopkeepers, men, relatives and families, almost more than 23,000 indigenous people, all gone!"
"Even with it, the hundreds of losers in the entire Xicheng, as well as the shops, industries, and indigenous people they support, have also gone completely, before today, the indigenous people of Cangwu City will soon reach 100,000 people, and this time, there will be 30,000 fewer directly."
Xu Shan was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, who would have thought that the foundation of Fuyun Tiexing was so deep, involving almost all walks of life, and even the young lady in Baihua Lane was gone.
Now the entire Cangwu City is panicked, and many indigenous people are watching, if you don't hurry up and think of a countermeasure, Cangwu City will really become a dry city.
Xue Xindong also said at this time: "Boss Wei, I asked someone to inquire, two of the three small cities in the west of Cangwu City are also Fuyun Tiexing, and the city lords are all disciples of their disciples. And over there, it is the most important source of materials in Cangwu City. ”
"Good guys!"
Wei Cheng was really surprised this time, the legendary immortal cultivation sects were all in the depths of the immortal mountain, and they couldn't get a glimpse of the immortals.
This Floating Cloud Sect is a big hidden in the city, and it directly controls the economic lifeline of Cangwu City.
This time, it was he who was lonely and unheard.
He admitted that he underestimated the Floating Cloud Sect.
He thought that the Floating Cloud Sect would go to war with him with a clear sword and a gun, and he would not die.
But the reality is clearly harsher.
The Floating Cloud Sect is not a fool, Wei Cheng has 20,000 trialists under his hands, or it is difficult for the strongest to fight against the head of the Floating Cloud Sect, but if there is a real war, even if it can be defeated, how much can the foundation of the Floating Cloud Sect remain?
Therefore, they chose to draw from the bottom of the kettle.
