In fact, Li Shi's arrival was earlier than Ji Zizhan estimated, and when Kunlun was still discussing whether to rescue the East China Sea, Li Shi had already led the three elite war departments of Cangli, Liu Ming, and Yan Lu, as well as his regular war department, a total of 50,000 war department monks, all the way down the Changqing River, and Qiu Yu's construction war department, Li Shi brought 100,000 people, it can be said that Li Shi brought out most of the war department monks of Qiu Yu's construction war department, which even led to a significant slowdown in the speed of some basic projects in Kunlun.

"Lord, sacrificing oneself to save others, the way of a saint, saving oneself and others, the virtue of ordinary people. Knowing that the East China Sea is suffering from a sea disaster makes you a little unbearable, but we can't ignore our Qinglian's own development and send out all our Construction War Departments!" Kong Jie, as the chief of Qinglian's internal affairs, objected to Li Shi's order to dispatch so many Construction War Departments.

Maybe in terms of major principles and policies, after Li Shi decides, everyone will not have any opinions, but when it comes to specific measures, in the face of Li Shi's suggestions that harm Qinglian's interests, Kong Jie will still fight on the basis of reason, even if the object is Li Shi.

It is precisely because of Kong Jie's character that even if Li Yi and Zhang Changge are used more easily, Kong Jie still slowly formed the second-in-command under Li Shi. Of course, it is also a few other guys who are bad and bad, and when they need to contradict each other, they all let Kong Jie take the lead, and they pull the bias below, Kong Jie also knows this, but his character is like this, but he didn't say anything.

"Do you know what I sent the Construction War Department out for!" Li Shi heard Kong Jie's words, but he asked rhetorically.

"Although the construction of the war department is not a combat war department, but with marching orders and clear discipline, it will be very easy to use for them to go to the rescue!" Kong Jie heard Li Shi's words and said, "At least it is much more convenient than looking for locals to come to the rescue on the spot." ”

"Since you know, then why are you stopping me!" Li Shi couldn't help frowning when he heard Kong Jie's words, but he opened his mouth to speak.

"My lord, since we have divided part of the territory of this Hundred and One Realms with Tianxing with the Changqing River as the boundary, but don't forget, most of the land we have obtained has been harmed by Tianyi, and in just fifteen years, it is not enough to restore the original prosperity, and the construction and war department of Qiu Yu is constantly building, and now you have transferred all of them away, then many of our plans to develop the northern part of the Changqing River will be shelved, and we don't know how much time it will be delayed!

"......" Li Shi heard Kong Jie's complaint, but also understood Kong Jie's difficulties, Li Shi took a deep breath and said, "It is precisely because of the lack of people that we must obtain the population of the East China Sea!"

Li Shi did feel guilty about the Donghai monks, after all, it was his own reasons that caused this matter, but Li Shi's heart was black after all, although he was guilty, but Li Shi would not be a good old man who sent charcoal in the snow, but would only be the mastermind behind the robbery.

Because Li Shi knows very well that a guy like a good old man can only save people for a while, but as the mastermind behind the scenes, he forcibly migrated the population of the East China Sea to Qinglian, so that he can save people for a lifetime, and this is an excellent time to enhance Qinglian's potential!

"Kong Jie, I know that letting the Construction War Department stop and let the East China Sea rescue later, will greatly reduce the development speed of our Qinglian, I even know that if I take those refugees over, it will affect the living environment of our Qinglian native mortals, and even the grain, grass and spirit valley that we have been accumulating for more than ten years may be exhausted because of this operation, but we have no choice, this may be a great misfortune for the human race, but it is a great luck for our Qinglian, and it is the most effective way to make up for our lack of population at one time, so that our Qinglian population base exceeds 1 billion peopleLi Shi said.

Hearing this, Kong Jie wanted to say something, but he also stopped, after following Li Shi for decades, Qinglian has developed all the way from scratch, Kong Jie has understood very well that a sufficient population base can give birth to enough cultivators, and from enough cultivators to give birth to a few geniuses and elites, the mortal population is the foundation of a force.

Again, monks below the Jindan stage can rely on resources to pile up, but monks above the Jindan stage can only rely on their own opportunities and talents, even if it is Kunlun, if they want to smash a person to the Jindan stage, it is definitely not easy.

And geniuses and elites do not rely on blindness, but need a huge population base and a smooth upward channel, so that these elites can stand out from the mortals, with a probability of 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 to become a real monk, a probability of 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 to become a Jindan monk, and a huge number of people are needed as a basis for the infancy of Shang Yuan.

Under Qinglian's nearly fifteen years of recuperation, although the number of monks who practice qi, condense veins, and build foundations has increased greatly, even so, Qinglian still does not have many newly promoted Jindan stage monks, and even Yuan Infant stage monks, whether it is Shu He, Liu Ming, or Qing Xuan, have vaguely reached the Great Perfection of the Jindan stage, but they are unable to break through to the Yuan Infant stage.

For the shortcomings of the Qinglian branch, Kong Jie, a monk who is in charge of internal affairs, knows better than Li Shi, to be honest, the current Qinglian is under the leadership of Li Shi, whether it is the people's livelihood or the military, it can be regarded as a leader in the branch of Kunlun.

But even so, Qinglian is not the most outstanding top branch of the sect, because Qinglian still has two defects, one is that the population does not exceed 1 billion, which means that Qinglian's potential and heritage are not enough. The second is that there is no cutting-edge power, not to mention the almost unattainable realm of the Jade Mansion Realm, just a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, there is no one in Qinglian!

And if these two defects are not made up, then Qinglian will not be a top branch force in Kunlun!

At least compared to Lan Ya's Qinggu Realm, Li Shi is much worse.

Therefore, Li Shi wants to take advantage of this opportunity to first support his population base to make up for the disaster in the East China Sea, if he misses this opportunity, Li Shi said that he will wait for a decade or two, and the population of the new generation will grow again, and the population base of Qinglian Valley can reach 1 billion people, and this will delay the development of Qinglian!

"So Kong Jie, I need the population of the East China Sea to fill the area north of the Changqing River, and really control it in my hands, instead of treating it as a wasteland without roosters crowing!" Li Shi looked at Kong Jie, but said solemnly.

"Jie, I see!" Kong Jie said with his hands clenched into fists.
