Because Li Zheng had a glorious fighting history, Qi Feihong gave this task to Li Zheng. He asked Li Zheng to help him capture the cities around Huaiyu City and Xinyang City.
Li Zheng accepted the order and had no other ideas because he was Qi Feihong's sworn brother. He devoted himself to conquering the surrounding cities.
Lu Hao did not dare to go to war with the Qilin Kingdom, so the Qilin Kingdom took the opportunity to occupy more cities.
Li Zheng was worthy of being the God of War. He led his army to attack the surrounding cities and conquered a city with a population of five million on the first day. It was just that the city lord led his troops to resist desperately, resulting in the death of all the city's defenders, and there were many casualties.
After Li Zheng occupied the city, he directly combined the city and Huaiyu City into one, completely destroying the name of the city to prevent the people in the city from remembering certain things in the future.
The next day, Li Zheng specially took a day's rest in the new Huaiyu City, and also specially invited Qi Feihong to come to the new Huaiyu City to meet with the people, so that everyone could get to know Qi Feihong, the leader of the Qilin Kingdom, and also let everyone Everyone knows what the Qilin Kingdom is like under the rule of Qi Feihong. Of course, the most important thing is to let them know what kind of preferential treatment Qi Feihong will give them to stabilize people's hearts.
Li Zheng's move was very effective. Ninety-nine percent of the people who were originally dissatisfied because of the city's destruction chose to surrender willingly after learning how Qilin Kingdom treated its own people.
Most of the people surrendered, but a few people who were unwilling to surrender could not make a big splash. Li Zheng could continue to fight and conquer more cities.
In the following days, Li Zheng continued to lead troops to occupy Lu Hao's cities. Over the past few months, there were dozens of cities occupied by Li Zheng. Among them, Pingcheng was only thirty miles away from Feihu City. of Lincheng.
Li Zheng stopped after attacking here. He received Qi Feihong's order to suspend the attack on Feihu City. Feihu City is Lu Hao's current capital. Once pushed too hard, Lu Hao will definitely fight back. At that time, the two sides will definitely fight and suffer heavy casualties.
Qi Feihong's purpose is not to drive out Lu Hao, he just needs more citizens. But now, Li Zheng has occupied enough cities, and the total number of citizens of the Qilin Kingdom has reached more than one billion, which is enough.
At this time, Fairy Nihuang, Chi Yan, Huangfu Cheng, Huangfu Xiaoming and others jointly proposed to build a city between Qilin City and Shanhai City to connect the two cities. Qi Feihong adopted this suggestion and ordered Jiang Jun to lead people to build a new city.
As the acropolis of the capital Qilin City, three acropolis were built based on Qilin City. There are teleportation arrays connecting the three acropolises. If any of the acropolis is attacked, the other two acropolis can assist in the defense as soon as possible, and the soldiers of the capital Qilin City can arrive as soon as possible.
Jiang Jun led the people to build the acropolis, which would take a long time to complete. Qi Feihong was not in a hurry, but he was a little worried that if such a large-scale construction project was carried out, the treasury would be empty. For this reason, he discussed with Jin Min to see if he could open some shops, auction houses, etc. directly under the jurisdiction of the King's Palace, as he did in Feihu City, to earn spiritual coins to replenish the huge expenditure of the national treasury.
Jin Min smiled and told Qi Feihong that he had already done this, but the benefits were not obvious yet, and it would take some time to see the benefits. He also told Qi Feihong not to worry about the spirit coins. Jin Min ensured that the national treasury had sufficient spiritual coins to be used in all aspects of Qilin Kingdom.
With Jin Min's words, Qi Feihong no longer worried, he also trusted Jin Min very much.
Qi Feihong handles various things and issues orders in the palace of the king every day, but he does not personally participate in various things. As the leader of the country, he cannot do everything himself, and can only rely on the people around him to do things.
On this day, Qi Feihong finished processing the large number of memorials sent the previous day and returned to the harem to take a rest. He had just picked up the cup of hot tea brought to him by Tian Sizi, and before he had a chance to take a sip, he heard Nalan Xi, the Minister of Household Affairs, say from outside: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Qi Feihong put down his tea cup and said, "What's the matter with Senior Sister Nalan?" He was in his own palace at this time, so he was more casual when addressing Nalan Xi.
Nalan Xi pushed the door open and said seriously: "Master, today the Ministry of Revenue received news that between last month and January, the population of our country of Qilin increased by four million. This rate is obviously much faster than that of neighboring countries. So If this continues, our country, Qilin, will soon be overcrowded and there will be shortages of food, housing, cultivation resources, etc. Lord, do you want to come up with corresponding policies to limit the rapid growth of the population?"
Qi Feihong shook his head: "No. I am worried that the population of Qilin Kingdom is not enough. How can we limit the population growth? You don't have to worry too much. Our Qilin Kingdom is now vast, with a land area of at least hundreds of billions of acres. A billion people simply cannot More. Our territory will definitely be larger in the future, so we don’t have to worry about lack of resources.”
Nalan Xi obviously didn't understand what Qi Feihong meant by the land area, and asked hesitantly: "Master, do you mean that our Qilin Kingdom has a large territory and can accommodate more citizens?"
Qi Feihong nodded: "That's right. Don't worry, senior sister. Based on our land area, even if we have one billion more citizens, we will not have insufficient resources."
Nalan Xi frowned and said, "But immortal cultivators generally have a long lifespan. If it continues to grow like this, I'm afraid that one day our Qilin Congress will have no land to accommodate its citizens."
Qi Feihong said: "Nowadays, we may face a war at any time, and a large number of citizens may be killed or injured due to war at any time. The growth rate of the population will not be too fast, and there will not be a situation that cannot be accommodated."
Nalan Xi then nodded in agreement: "The Lord said this, and I thought the situation was not that bad. Lord, the national population is growing so rapidly, and the national treasury has limited spiritual coins. Do we still follow the previous policy and conduct a series of measures on the citizens?" subsidy?”
Qi Feihong said: "Any new nationals who join the Qilin Kingdom must be guaranteed to enjoy our policies in the first year. After they have established themselves and their lives are on the right track, the subsidies can be gradually reduced and allowed to support themselves. Citizens of the Qilin Kingdom , we must not completely rely on the country, we must ultimately rely on our own efforts to survive.”
Nalan Xi said: "I understand. I and others are doing this, but some people have opinions on this and believe that subsidies should always be paid, otherwise some people will not be able to live a normal life."
Qi Feihong said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs can formulate corresponding policies based on the actual situation, establish a long-term mechanism, and provide long-term subsidies to those who are really unable to support themselves. This matter must be done carefully and there is no room for negligence. It must be fair and impartial and impartial. Reliance, ensure that those who should receive subsidies will receive them, and those who should not receive subsidies must not be given subsidies..."
Nalan Xi said: "I understand that I have teamed up with Lord Duguxue, the Minister of Punishment, to conduct a thorough investigation of the people of Qilin City, find out those who really need monthly subsidies, and provide them with long-term subsidies. This matter may require some work. It will take time to complete, after all, many of them are unfamiliar to us, and it will take some time to visit and investigate to determine what their actual situation is."
Qi Feihong said: "Let it go. If you need manpower, I can mobilize manpower to help. You must be cautious in this matter, and you must not cause internal conflicts."
Nalan Xi said: "Don't worry, Lord, I will act with caution."
Qi Feihong knew that Qilin Country was now in its infancy and everything must be extremely cautious, especially internal stability, which must be foolproof. Nalan Xi naturally understands this truth and knows what to do.
For the future of Qilin Country, both Qi Feihong and everyone around Qi Feihong worked hard to give full play to their talents without daring to neglect at all.
Only in this way can the future of Qilin Country be bright.
