After Jin Min and others took office, they immediately started working within their respective jurisdictions. Everyone worked hard to develop and grow the Qilin Kingdom.
During this period, the Immortal Golden Immortal seemed to have forgotten about the Qilin Kingdom, and actually did not send anyone to cause trouble, giving the Qilin Kingdom valuable time to develop. Perhaps the Immortal Golden Immortal loved to kill Wei Chi in the Qilin Kingdom, which made the Immortal Golden Immortal realize something, so he did not send troops again.
There are new changes in the Qilin Kingdom every day. There are more and more citizens, the houses are getting taller and taller, and some citizens have begun to set up shops and start business, making the Qilin Kingdom gradually become prosperous like other countries.
Qi Feihong saw that the prosperity of Qilin Kingdom was just around the corner. He was in a good mood and was busy all day without feeling tired. Qi Feihong was easily satisfied. Seeing that Qilin Kingdom was slowly getting better, he felt very good.
Unconsciously, half a year has passed, and by September, the Qianhu Lake area, which was once deserted, has turned into a large city. There is only one city in Qilin Kingdom now, and that is Qilin City where the main palace of the country is located. The name Qilin City was called by everyone together and accepted by everyone.
Qilin Kingdom is about the same size as Qilin City. Although it is said to be a country, it is actually just a city. However, Qilin City is still quite prosperous. The neat streets are full of people coming and going, and there are many shops on both sides of the streets, which is very lively.
The people of Qilin City live and work in peace and contentment, happy and happy. They enjoy a rare peace. Compared with people in other places in the world of immortality that are in the midst of war, they feel like they are living in paradise.
The current population of Qilin Country is half a million. Compared with a few months ago, the population has doubled several times. Five hundred thousand people is not a lot, but to the Qilin Kingdom, these half a million people are very precious, and at least they bring a glimmer of hope to the Qilin Kingdom.
No matter when or where, people are the most important. Without people, it would be a wasteland, and there would be no city or country.
Huangfucheng and Yinggu recruited sergeants among these people and successfully recruited enough sergeants. The Second Army was worthy of its name. The number of monsters in the first army was 30,000, and the number of human soldiers in the second army was 50,000. Compared with half a year ago, this was a huge change.
But this was not enough. Qi Feihong ordered people to investigate the situation of the citizens of Qilin Kingdom and found that 90% of the citizens were immortal cultivators and they could all join the army and serve. So Qi Feihong issued a decree that all citizens of the Qilin Kingdom, regardless of age, male or female, as long as they reached the realm of merging gods, must join the army and serve for five years. After five years, you can leave the military only after obtaining permission.
This decree is intended to strengthen the military strength of the Qilin Kingdom. Some citizens may not understand it, but after patient explanations by Qi Feihong and others, most of them took the initiative to serve in the army. A very small number of people who were unwilling to serve were forcibly conscripted into the army and assigned to serve in relatively difficult and dangerous areas, which was considered a form of punishment.
One month later, all the immortal cultivators in Qilin who were at the Fusion of God Realm and above joined the army, and the number of the army suddenly rose to 150,000. Excluding the previous 50,000 soldiers, the remaining 100,000 soldiers were divided into five teams, each with 20,000 soldiers. In accordance with Qi Feihong's order, Shen Yue inspected and appointed five new commanders among all the soldiers. These five new commanders will manage and train the 100,000 recruits.
The new recruits need enough time to train. Fortunately, the Immortal Golden Immortal has not launched another attack on the Qilin Kingdom during this period, giving Qi Feihong and the others enough time to train the new recruits. It is reported that the Immortal Golden Immortal has been fighting endlessly with Lu Hao and Yu Wenxian recently and has no time to take care of the Qilin Kingdom, so he did not send troops to the Qilin Kingdom.
Qi Feihong often visited the army to inspect, and occasionally guided the training of new recruits in person, but he quickly became familiar with the soldiers.
The good news is that new citizens join the Qilin Kingdom every day, and some large families even move in as a whole, with hundreds and thousands of people arriving. This has caused the population of Qilin Kingdom to increase rapidly, with tens of thousands more citizens added almost every month.
In February of the following year, Nalan Xi, the Minister of Household Affairs, came to report that the population of Qilin Kingdom had reached one million. This surprised Qi Feihong. He originally thought that the Qilin Kingdom would have a population of 600,000 to 700,000 in one year. Unexpectedly, there were 300,000 to 400,000 more people than expected.
According to Qi Feihong's decree, all citizens of Qilin Kingdom and immortal cultivators above the Fusion of God Realm must join the army and serve for five years. Therefore, as the population grows, the number of Qilin Kingdom's troops also increases with that of the Japanese army, reaching 300,000 people. .
Chi Yan, Chi Biao and Chi Yi did not dare to fall behind. They worked hard to recruit monsters in the no-man's land and added them to the First Army. In the past year, the number of monster soldiers in the First Army has also increased a lot. It reached 50,000.
The current Qilin Kingdom has many soldiers and soldiers, and its strength is not weak. If it fights against the army of the Immortal Golden Immortal again, it will never be as passive and embarrassing as before.
On the first day of March this year, on the first anniversary of the founding of the Qilin Kingdom, all the ministers proposed to celebrate. Qi Feihong felt that nothing major had happened recently, and seeing that Qilin Country was developing smoothly, he could indeed celebrate, so he agreed.
After everyone got permission, they worked together to decorate Qilin City, the only city in Qilin Kingdom, making the entire Qilin Kingdom beam with joy.
Qi Feihong personally went to Qilin City to celebrate the first anniversary of the founding of the Qilin Kingdom with all the people. The lively scene really seemed as if everyone had completely defeated the Immortal Golden Immortal and the Immortal Realm, and the whole country was jubilant.
After the National Day, Qi Feihong summoned the ministers of the Qilin Kingdom to discuss military and state affairs in the newly completed Qilin Palace. All the ministers were present, including every one.
Qi Feihong first sincerely thanked everyone who had contributed to the Qilin Kingdom, and then rewarded them based on their merits, expressing his gratitude to everyone in the simplest and most direct way.
Everyone has received rewards from Qi Feihong. Although these rewards are nothing more than spiritual coins, magic weapons, official positions, etc., everyone is very happy because they feel that they have been affirmed and recognized by Qi Feihong.
After rewarding everyone, Qi Feihong talked about the future development of Qilin Kingdom and asked everyone what they meant. Zhao Hai was the first to say: "Master, Qilin Kingdom is now on the right track, and some things must be more formal. I propose that a new Ministry of Punishment be established to take charge of the punishment of the Qilin Kingdom. At the same time, a new Ministry of War will be established, with a Shangshu of the Ministry of War to assist the king in managing the army and share the worries of the king."
Shen Yue came out from the crowd, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the military advisor's proposal is very good, and I second it. I believe that the Minister of Punishment should be a man of high moral standing, impartiality and selflessness, and the candidate must be recommended and reviewed by everyone. Ensure that all citizens of Qilin Country can be truly managed in the future.”
Qi Feihong said: "Who does Mr. Shen think can be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Shen Yue said: "Sword Immortal Duguxue can take on this great responsibility. Duguxue is cautious and serious, fair and selfless, strong in strength, has superb swordsmanship, and has high morals and prestige. It is most suitable for him to be the minister of the execution hall. I ordered people to inspect Duguxue for several months and came to the conclusion This conclusion is left to the ruler of the country to decide.”
Qi Feihong glanced at Duguxue who was standing among Xuannv Yuqing and others, stood up and walked to Duguxue, clasped his fists and said, "Senior Dugu, are you willing to be the Minister of Punishment of my Qilin Kingdom to share my worries?"
Duguxue said: "If the king needs it, I can be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. But I think there is someone more suitable than me, and that is Shangqingxianren. Shangqingxianren looks a bit casual, but he is determined in his heart, fair and just in doing things, and is deeply popular among the people. , as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he will definitely be able to help the king manage the millions of people in the Qilin Kingdom."
After hearing what Dugu Xue said, Shangqing Xianren said with a smile: "I have long been accustomed to a free life, and I cannot be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Brother Dugu, don't refuse. You are most suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and help the king manage Qilin Kingdom."
Duguxue looked at Shangqing Xianren and said slowly: "If Brother Shangqing is not willing, I will accept the appointment of the king."
Qi Feihong nodded: "In that case, please invite Senior Duguxue to be the Minister of Punishment. From now on, the punishment of Qilin Kingdom will be handed over to Lord Dugu."
Everyone nodded, and some people expressed congratulations to Duguxue, but Duguxue's expression was as usual, calm and calm. Not only is he superb in swordsmanship, he is also a man of firm character, and not many things can shake his mind.
