Castle Lord's Mansion.

"Lord of the City, the Imperial Tax Envoy asks to see you!"

Jiang He, who was taking stock of his assets in the backyard, frowned, this is the person who asked for money, he didn't want to pay attention, he just sent someone to pay the taxes and send the person away. But as the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to mess with little ghosts, so let's meet this imperial envoy, so as not to make a little extraneous branch because of this little thing.

Thinking of this, Jiang He said lightly: "Manager Tang, invite the envoy to the banquet hall to serve tea, and the city lord will be there in a while." ”

"Yes, Lord City Lord!" Tang Genshui, the Grand Administrator of the City Lord's Mansion, replied respectfully, and then arranged to go.

......

At this time, it has been more than three months since Jiang He sat on the position of city lord, and the development of Yunhe County can be described as earth-shaking.

First of all, it is the most majestic city wall of the new county town, which was repaired day and night without shortage of funds, and the city wall of the new county town was built in less than three months.

The second is the construction of the new city lord's mansion, because the county town has expanded tenfold, and now this city lord's mansion obviously does not meet Jiang He's requirements, plus the sale of the new county land made a lot of money, Jiang He, who is not short of money, waved his hand and immediately built a new city lord's mansion.

Then there are all kinds of buildings in the new county town, because most of the land has been sold, so all kinds of construction in the city basically don't need to worry about Jiang He, the city lord, only need to plan as a whole, and you can let go of the people who bought the land to build it themselves. And with the activation of the intermediate-level spirit gathering array that enveloped the entire county town, with the rapid construction of the city wall, and with the construction of the new city lord's mansion, the merchants who saw the business opportunities were the first to build various buildings in the city. Followed by those rich and nobles, because they were optimistic about the development of the new county town, they also rushed to start the big construction. And after someone took the lead, a shocking scene of the city's large-scale construction was soon formed.

In this way, after more than three months, a county town ten times larger than the previous one was built, and the speed of construction is simply incredible.

Of course, this is also because all buildings are made of stone and wood, and the tallest building is only seven floors, not ten or twenty floors like the earth, and there is no shortage of steel and concrete. Also, in order to rush repairs, most of the workers here have used cultivators, and with their strength to do this kind of simple work, the speed is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, in just over three months, a huge county town was built.

During the construction of the new county town, Jiang He also began to rectify the forces under his command. Because the new county town is in full swing, coupled with the intermediate spirit gathering array that envelops the entire new county town, and the reputation of Jiang He Jindan Ancestor. So that a large number of masters come to take refuge every day, and Jiang He is also a person who does not refuse, as long as you have the strength, no matter what the purpose of your refuge is, Jiang He is fearless, and all the orders are accepted.

It is precisely because Jiang He's requirements are simple, so in the past three months or so, the strength of the City Lord's Mansion has simply increased exponentially, and originally, in addition to Jiang He, the highest cultivation of the City Lord's Mansion is only a ninth-level Qi refining store. And now, Jiang He has recruited a full six of them in the foundation building period, and a lot of them have been recruited in the Qi refining period.

The most admirable thing is that Jiang He not only accepts all the orders from those who take refuge, but also dares to reuse them, such as Tang Genshui, who is a typical example.

Tang Genshui was one of the six monks in the foundation building period, and it was also the highest one, reaching the point of the late construction period. Of the other five monks in the foundation building period, two were in the middle stage of foundation building and three were in the early stage of foundation building.

Seeing that Tang Genshui's cultivation was the highest, Jiang He directly promoted Tang Genshui to the position of the head of the City Lord's Mansion, which was completely an important position above everyone under one person, overseeing all matters inside and outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Generally speaking, those who can take up this position are the absolute henchmen of the city lord.

And Jiang He didn't know much about Tang Genshui, but he didn't have any scruples to promote him to this position, which made Tang Genshui flattered and felt Alexander at the same time.

In addition to Tang Genshui, the other five depositors in the foundation building period have also really obtained some real power positions.

Jiang He's eye-catching move, the publicity effect is still quite good, originally some masters who were still hesitating whether to take refuge or not all felt that Jiang He was a master, and they all took refuge in him.

For a while, Jiang He, the commander of the light pole, became full of talents, and even the number of people in the foundation building period was as high as nine. Among the one hundred and eight counties and counties of the entire Eastern Qi Empire, in terms of high-end combat power alone, Yunhe County can definitely rank first.

Of course, at this time, although Jiang He's command was full of talents, the problem of loyalty had not been solved, so Jiang Heqiang could give them benefits, so these monks who took refuge would not have any dissent. But once Jiang He becomes weaker one day, the monks under his command may turn their faces and deny people, and it is not unusual for the lord to be killed.

Jiang He is not worried about this problem, in other words, the loyalty of this subordinate is like the loyalty of the wife of the earth world.

Those subordinates who are loyal regardless of whether the lord is in power or wandering the rivers and lakes, just like the earth world, you have married a good wife who can share wealth and prosperity with you and share weal and woe, no matter what you become, she will never leave you.

In the same way, when you are strong, your subordinates will be loyal, and when you fall and become weak, your subordinates will leave you or simply attack you. This kind of is like when you marry a money worshipper as a wife in the earth world, when you have the power and wealth and high spirits, she will love you very much, and she will never cheat, not even spiritually. But when you have an accident and become depressed, you have neither power nor money, so sorry, those who have a little conscience just leave you, and those with a slightly worse conscience will step on your feet before leaving.

Therefore, ordinary people dare not use this kind of subordinate, but Jiang He dares to use it, because he has absolute confidence in himself. Such subordinates, as long as you can stay strong, then not only will they not have any dissent, but they will be 100% loyal to you.

The words are far off.

In the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang He was drinking tea with Zhao Chenjue, the imperial envoy.

Because Zhao Chenjue wanted to recruit Jiang He under his command, he was not only very polite in language, but also praised Jiang He in terms of formation prohibition, and praised Jiang He as the first formation master of the empire.

And Jiang He, out of some considerations, is not good to offend the imperial envoy too much, not to mention the flower sedan chair people carry people, since the imperial envoy is so polite and polite, then Jiang He naturally did not hesitate to say some polite words, and also praised Zhao Chenjue with a smile.

After saying politely, Zhao Chenjue threw out his olive branch and said: "City Lord Jiang, you are a rare talent, there is no one in the Dongqi Empire in terms of formation prohibition, and it is really condescending to nest in a small place like Yunhe County, I don't know if City Lord Jiang is willing to follow me to the imperial capital to develop?"

"My young master is the grandson of the current prime minister. The guard Ah Fu added very cleverly.

Jiang He laughed dumbly when he heard this, and thought that he knew the cultivation of his Jindan ancestor, so he was so polite, and after a long time, it turned out that this product was the idea of recruiting him!!

"Envoy Zhao, haven't you heard of the deeds of our city lord all the way over?" asked Tang Genshui, the chief steward who was accompanying him, with a strange expression.

Seeing Jiang He and Tang Genshui's expressions, Zhao Chenjue's heart sank, knowing that he had missed something, so he said quietly: "This envoy did not stop on the road, they all went directly to the destination, so I have not heard of the deeds of Jiang City Lord, and I also ask the Tang Grand Administrator to make it clear." ”

Hearing this, Tang Genshui looked at his own city lord, and after Jiang He nodded, he said with a smile: "Envoy Zhao, more than three months ago, our city lord of Yunhe County was surnamed Mo, whose name was Qianshan, and he was the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Foundation. However, because the lord of Mocheng was mad, for his personal gain, he secretly sent henchmen to pretend to be robbers and plunder everywhere in Yunhe County, making the people's lives miserable. This matter was known to the city lord Jiang who was passing by Yunhe County, so he broke into the city lord's mansion single-handedly, and killed Mo Qianshan in one move, and then Yunhe County is today. Zhao Envoy, our Yunhe County is inseparable from Jiang City Lord, so I am afraid that I will live up to the good intentions of Zhao Envoy when I go to the imperial capital to develop. ”

These words stunned Zhao Chenjue and the others.

One move to kill Mo Qianshan, who built the foundation of the Great Perfection?

It's not a joke, is it?

Although it is said that with the same foundation building and Great Perfection cultivation, Zhao Chenjue is confident that he is absolutely sure to kill Mo Qianshan, but it is impossible to kill the other party in one move in seconds. The one who can do this is unless it is the legendary Jindan Ancestor.

And now, listening to the meaning of the Tang Grand Administrator, Jiang City Lord directly killed Mo Qianshan, the foundation building consummation, in one move.

Doesn't this mean that the Jiang City Lord is the legendary Jindan Ancestor?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Chenjue couldn't help but gasp. Although he Zhao Chenjue has a great family background, he has the strength of the prime minister's grandfather who has reached the Jindan period, and his own strength has also reached the foundation building consummation, if he only recruits monks below the Jindan period, as long as he shows sincerity, at least seven or eight out of ten can be successfully recruited.

But if the other party is really Jindan Ancestor, then it will be different.

Looking at the entire Dongqi Empire, there are only five Jindan ancestors on the surface, and each of them has an extremely lofty status. And if nothing else, this person in front of him should be the sixth Jindan Ancestor of the empire.

This kind of deposit, even if the current emperor, the Jindan ancestor, comes forward to solicit it in person, it may not be able to solicit it. And even if he, Zhao Chenjue, is rampant, he doesn't dare to compare with the emperor, unless his prime minister's grandfather comes forward in person, maybe there is still a little hope.
