Zheng Xiaowu kept talking from the city gate to the outside of the courtyard prepared for Zheng Lei, during this period, Zheng Xiaoshui was silent, just quietly following Zheng Lei, only when Zheng Xiaowu mentioned him, he nodded, but never said much.

Walking to the front of the courtyard, Zheng Lei looked up at the courtyard and couldn't help but "drink" in his heart. "With a bang, although this courtyard is not a high-end courtyard compared to the garden in Zheng Lei's consciousness, but in this small city, it is an extremely luxurious courtyard, which is not what Zheng Lei likes, he doesn't like to let himself be in a luxurious environment, that kind of comfortable life, will only make him forget the purpose of life, forget his ambition, and even forget everything.

He frowned lightly and asked, "Xiao Wu, whose courtyard is this courtyard!"

Zheng Xiaowu kept staring at Zheng Lei's expression, and when he saw him frowning, he was still dissatisfied with this courtyard, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Report to the master, this courtyard is specially prepared for you, I don't know where the master is not satisfied, my subordinates will immediately send someone to rectify it!"

Zheng Lei frowned and looked at Zheng Xiaowu, suddenly, he saw the kind of sycophancy from officialdom in Zheng Xiaowu's body, this is something he doesn't want to see, six years, although his work is very dull, but he is also a section-level cadre, although the position is not high, but at the top of the locality, the size is also a leader, and there are naturally people under him to serve him, but no matter where it is, as long as there is officialdom, intrigue is indispensable, even if it is Zheng Lei's side, it is no exception.

"The resources spent to build this courtyard can build as many houses as the people of the city. Zheng Lei asked.

This time Zheng Xiaowu was stopped, he opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to answer, so he couldn't help but look at Zheng Xiaoshui for help, and Zheng Lei's eyes also moved to Zheng Xiaoshui's body.

"You speak. Zheng Lei pointed at Zheng Xiaoshui and said.

Zheng Xiaoshui bowed and said, "Ordinary residents can build 300 houses, ultimate residents can build 200 houses, and senior residents can build 100 houses!"

Zheng Lei's brows furrowed even tighter, looked at Zheng Xiaowu, and said, "How many people in the city still don't have houses to live in!"

Zheng Xiaowu felt more and more that something was wrong, and he didn't dare not tell the truth: "Report to the master, there are still one hundred and thirty-seven people who don't have a house to live in, and now they all live in the unified house!"

Zheng Lei looked up at the courtyard, turned his head and asked, "Who is the city lord now!"

Zheng Xiaowu was startled, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the master, now I am the city lord!"

Zheng Lei turned his head to look at Zheng Xiaowu, Zheng Xiaowu slowly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zheng Lei.

"From today on, Xiao Shui will be the lord of the city. Zheng Lei turned his head to look at Zheng Xiaoshui.

Zheng Xiaoshui hurriedly said: "Report to the master, the subordinates are not capable enough, and they can't be the lord of this city!"

Zheng Lei glared at him and said, "You really can't do it!"

Zheng Xiaoshui was looked at by Zheng Lei like this, and immediately lowered his head, and said softly: "I'll try my best!"

"Okay, you can stand down for the time being, Xiao Wu, you come in with me. Zheng Lei arranged the two of them, and then walked into the courtyard.

Zheng Xiaowu's face was full of depression, he originally wanted to slap the master, but he didn't expect the master to remove him from the position of city lord at this time, and he didn't know what the master would do to him next, maybe this master was angry in his heart, and it was not impossible to abolish him.

Zheng Lei took Zheng Xiaowu and walked slowly in the courtyard, Zheng Xiaowu slowly followed behind Zheng Lei, as if walking on the road to hell, full of torment.

After turning around every corner of the courtyard, Zheng Lei took Zheng Xiaowu back to the gate, and then began to walk inside.

It was like the route he had just taken, Zheng Xiaowu didn't know why Zheng Lei was here, not only in his heart, but even his face was full of doubts.

After walking into the gate, Zheng Lei turned around and looked at the gate, Zheng Xiaowu hurriedly walked behind him and waited respectfully.

"Xiao Wu, you come to see this gate. Zheng Lei said softly.

Zheng Xiaowu didn't know why, he just stood behind Zheng Lei's right, looking at the gate together, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any shortcomings on the gate.

"Do you know how many of our city-dwellers can have houses to live in with such a gate?" asked Zheng Lei.

Zheng Xiaowu blushed suddenly, this was not his intention, but he didn't know that this master hated these luxurious things very much.

"It's a nice courtyard, and to be fair, I like the courtyard you've prepared, but I can't live there, you know why. Zheng Lei said.

Zheng Xiaowu shook his head and said he didn't know.

"You are the lord of this small city, you can have some privileges, but this does not mean that you can be above every citizen, as the lord of the city, your role is only to speak on their behalf when you are outside, and to protect them when you are in danger, do you know why a city has a city lord. Zheng Lei said.

Zheng Xiaowu lowered his head, his face flushed, and he didn't say a word.

"Because a city has a soul, and the city lord is the spokesperson of the city, without the city lord, the city is a plate of scattered sand, any force hits, it will be vulnerable, if so, what are you still working hard to build a city for, is it just for pleasure, I believe you will not be so superficial, just for pleasure, just to build a city. Zheng Lei looked at Zheng Xiaowu and said.

Zheng Xiaowu whispered: "Master, I know what to do, I know what to do!"

Zheng Lei sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want you to build such a courtyard, it's just that our current small city has just begun to develop, and there is no condition to build such a courtyard, you can go from nothing to the point where you are now, I am very pleased, and I also appreciate your ability, but if you are satisfied, then I don't need such a person, what I need is someone who can keep moving forward, and someone who can always be aware of danger!"

Zheng Xiaowu lowered his head and didn't speak, Zheng Lei slowed down and continued: "I'm here to tell you one thing today, my purpose is not to be the lord of a city, but this world, the whole world, the entire Ten Thousand Demon Pot Realm!"

This sentence only filled Zheng Xiaowu's eyes with shock, and he looked at Zheng Lei incredulously, as if he couldn't believe that all this was true.

But Zheng Lei nodded solemnly, but it gave him a reassurance.

"Master, you just said that you want to be the master of this world. Zheng Xiaowu asked tentatively.

Zheng Lei nodded and said, "Yes, this world is mine, and I am the master of this world." Zheng Lei said while looking at the sky in the distance, the world here, there is no difference between night and day, because there is no sun and moon here, there is no difference between yin and yang.

Zheng Xiaowu stood in front of Zheng Lei, and suddenly felt even more insignificant, when he saw Zheng Lei, Zheng Lei was just a child, but now, Zheng Lei has grown a lot, this growth is not only the body, not only the years, but also unforgettable experience and mind.

After a long time, Zheng Lei turned his head to look at Zheng Xiaowu and asked, "Do you have any complaints!"

Zheng Xiaowu hurriedly said: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they should be punished, and there are no complaints!"

Zheng Lei said earnestly: "Xiao Wu, you are what I have watched grow up step by step, your growth, luck accounts for part of the factor, of course, your efforts are certain, but I don't want you to sink into these indifferent power struggles, what I need is someone who can follow me to hold the world in my hands, not a power-maker, this kind of person, I don't like it!"

Zheng Xiaowu nodded and said, "Yes, what the master taught me is that Xiao Wu will definitely repent well!"

"Remember, this is our city, our goal, not to make them recognize our existence, but the rules of this world, made by us, do you have this confidence? Zheng Lei asked.

Zheng Xiaowu took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Xiao Wu swears to follow in the footsteps of his master!"

"Good. Zheng Lei looked up at the courtyard, and then said: "This courtyard, sealed up, just take this as the goal, within five years, I want our city to have a population of 80,000, and everyone in the city wants to have a house above the middle level to live in, can you do it." Zheng Lei asked.

Zheng Xiaowu suddenly said with a high mood: "Yes, with the support of the master, the subordinates will definitely do their best to develop our city!"

Zheng Lei nodded and said, "Okay, take me to my residence!"

Zheng Xiaowu was stunned for a moment and then understood, and took Zheng Lei all the way to a very ordinary house, although it was simple, it was also clean, and Zheng Lei liked this environment and took Hu Xiaowan to live in this house.

When he first arrived, although Zheng Lei was the owner of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Pot, it did not mean that this world belonged to him, and many things in this world needed him to understand little by little, to work hard, to struggle, and to fight.

If a city wants to develop, it is inseparable from the foundation of the people of the city, in the mortal world, the foundation of the city is the economy, in this world of ten thousand demon pots, it is also inseparable from the economy, after all, such a small city cannot be self-sufficient at all, even if they are demons, they can't.

But the difference is that there is another important factor in the development of the Ten Thousand Demon Pot Realm, that is, the cultivation of these demons, this economy is not too difficult, with the theoretical knowledge learned in school, plus the training in the government for the past six years, Zheng Lei still has the confidence to develop the economy of this world, but the improvement of the people's cultivation is a thorny problem.

This cultivation does not mean that you can improve if you improve, he needs the support of the exercises.
