What happened here in the mountainous area of ** made many people not expect that Zhao Hai's rise was so fast that it was beyond everyone's expectation.
Starting from a small mountain city, in a short period of time, he swallowed up the entire territory of the Spirit Snake City State and the Blue Wolf City State. This was originally impossible, but then he actually defeated the masters of all other city states. The coalition forces also surrendered those masters, and then he easily controlled the entire ** mountainous area, which no one had ever thought of.
The situation here in the ** Mountain Area is very special. They have no idea about changing a ruler. But when this person completed what his predecessors had not completed and unified the entire ** Mountain Area, the people in the ** Mountain Area , were really shocked, but then they calmly accepted Zhao Hai's rule.
This is a terrible inertia. When people in a region completely lose the concept of a country and do not care what rules them, it can be said that this region has lost the qualification to become a country.
After Zhao Hai unified the mountainous area of **, he immediately announced that all the cities in the mountainous area of ** would jointly form the city-state of **, and all government orders would be valid.
Then came the appointment and dismissal of officials, the transmission of government orders, reforms in taxation and other aspects, and the rectification of those family forces. After obtaining more than two hundred Wu Kong-level masters, Zhao Hai finally had a group of loyal subordinates. Can completely control the entire mountainous area.
As for getting the people in the ** Mountain Area to recognize his rule, Zhao Hai is not in a hurry. In fact, it is very simple to rule here in the ** Mountain Area. The war in the ** Mountain Area has been going on for too long, and people are calm. From now on, Zhao Hai can slowly win over the people's hearts here and make them identify with him and the entire mountainous area.
The changes here in the ** Mountainous Area have also attracted the attention of some forces around him. You must know the ** Mountain Area. The reason why it could not be completely unified before is because the cities here are too scattered. The cities here are all built around the ** mountainous area, so there are many cities bordering the ** mountainous area.
Now after those city-states discovered that the mountainous area here was actually unified. They were all very surprised and felt threatened at the same time.
But they did not move. After all, if they were scattered in the mountainous area, it would be safe to say that there would be no threat to them. But once they unite, their threat will be greater. Wu Kong-level masters alone are enough to give them a headache.
Then those people discovered that they had underestimated the ** Mountain Area before. There was no unity in the ** Mountain Area before. The entire ** Mountain Area was a mess. No one noticed how many masters there were in the ** Mountain Area. Now Once the mountainous areas were unified, people discovered it. It turns out that there are really many masters here in the ** mountainous area.
Zhao Hai did not take it lightly. He did not start a war. He even took the initiative to send people to visit some nearby city-states and started diplomacy with those city-states.
What Zhao Hai wants is time. To be honest, now in the mountainous area of **, the economy has reached the edge of collapse due to years of war, and the population here is really a problem. There are too few young people here. .
So Zhao Hai not only reduces taxes now. And encourage people here to farm, encourage them to have children, encourage them to have children, if you panic. Then the wasteland you develop from now on will be yours. You only need to pay a small part of the tax every year, and all the output from the remaining land will be yours.
If you open a factory in that city here in the mountains, there are incentives, and you can also get tax deductions if you hire people. If they are some people in the city who are living in difficulty, then you can get more rewards.
In addition to these, Zhao Hai also did another thing, which was to restore the teleportation arrays in various cities! This is a very remarkable thing. In the past, when the Heavenly Sword Empire was in its heyday, even a small city had teleportation arrays. However, after the demise of the Heavenly Sword Empire, most of those teleportation arrays lost their function. .
The teleportation array is easy to use, but it has a very fatal weakness, which is the problem of consumption. The larger the teleportation array, the greater the consumption. When the war breaks out, all the energy stones that support the teleportation array become useless. As for strategic materials, no one would put some energy stones into the teleportation array.
Zhao Hai also saw the energy stone here in the Spiritual Weapon World. The energy stone here is actually a low-level crystal stone. This kind of crystal stone was not available to Zhao Hai before because the level was too low. Hai has already used Law Crystal, how can he still like this low-level crystal.
But here in the spiritual weapon world, there is only this kind of crystal. Although Zhao Hai's space can produce this kind of crystal, it is too difficult to use this kind of crystal to activate those teleportation arrays, and it is also too expensive. Big.
Zhao Hai's space can produce this kind of crystal, but it can't sustain the consumption. Finally, Zhao Hai thought of a way, which is to use traction crystals to power these teleportation arrays.
There are many traction crystals in Zhao Hai's space now. One kind is the traction crystal as big as Zhao Hai's fist. Once this kind of traction crystal attracts enough energy, it can completely become a city's defense array. It is a power source, but using this kind of crystal in a teleportation array is a bit too wasteful, and it feels like a big horse-drawn cart.
As for the other kind of traction crystal, it is much different. It is the small traction crystal that only has fingers on it, the kind used in the troll knife. There are many such traction crystals in Zhao Hai's space now.
The reason why Zhao Hai keeps so many traction crystals is because he is afraid that one day he will need them. Prepare them when you are free and use them when you are busy. This has always been Zhao Hai's principle, so he has prepared a lot of traction crystals.
Zhao Hai tested it and found that this kind of finger-sized traction crystal can completely become the power source of a large teleportation array for hundreds of people. In this way, the biggest problem of recovering teleportation arrays in various cities will be solved. Solved Once the power problem is eliminated, the teleportation arrays in major cities can quickly recover.
As for the restoration of the teleportation array, the people here in the ** Mountainous Area were very surprised. They did not expect that the teleportation array was restored. You must know that the entire spiritual weapon world has been in chaos for too long. Like here in the ** Mountain Area Almost all of them have never made a teleportation array in their lives, because teleportation arrays can only be seen in some big cities, and very few of them are activated.
But now the teleportation arrays in all cities have been restored. Moreover, it was free for people to use, and some goods could even be transported. As soon as the teleportation array was restored, people suddenly discovered it. The entire ** mountainous area has been connected by the teleportation array.
Maybe ordinary people don't know what's going on, but those officials know very well that once the teleportation array is restored, the entire mountainous area of ** will be completely controlled by Zhao Hai because of the teleportation array. Zhao Hai's army can move to any city in the mountainous area in the shortest time. Even if the teleportation array is destroyed, Zhao Hai can know that city is being attacked at the first time, and then he can Directly sending experts to quell the chaos, once the teleportation array was completed, Zhao Hai truly controlled the entire mountainous area.
And this also has another benefit, that is, it makes the people here in the ** Mountain Area feel more grateful to Zhao Hai, and it also makes the materials in the ** Mountain Area travel faster. The prices of the entire ** Mountain Area are very high. They were unified within a short period of time, and they all dropped a lot.
Prices have dropped. People's purchasing power is increasing. Because of tax cuts and various incentive policies, the income level of people in the mountainous areas has increased, and their purchasing power has naturally increased.
Purchasing power increased, so the taxes that Zhao Hai had reduced before came back. Soon the officials discovered that the taxes they collected were no less than before, but people's living standards had improved. The whole mountainous area was prosperous, which surprised those officials.
Moreover, with the restoration of the teleportation array, the connection between the ** Mountain Area and the outside world has also increased. In addition, Zhao Hai now attaches great importance to the security of the ** Mountain Area. There will be some preferential treatment for people who come here to do business, so the number of people who come to do business in the ** Mountainous Area will slowly increase. In this way, the tax revenue here in the ** Mountain Area will increase one by one, and those who come to do business will It will bring more employment opportunities. People's lives will be better.
The situation here in the ** Mountain Area was also brought outside by some businessmen, so that people from other city-states in the Spirit Soldier Realm knew about the changes in the ** Mountain Area. Of course, many people did not believe it, because the ** Mountain Area This place used to be synonymous with chaos. Although some people would come here to do business, they would take great risks. Now you suddenly say that the security in the mountainous area is better than anywhere else, and all the people there Teleportation arrays have been opened in cities, making travel more convenient, taxes are very low, and there are various rewards. Isn't this a lie? Is there such a place in this world? Isn't it heaven? Many businessmen did not believe it. Of course, some businessmen chose to believe it. They also wanted to take a risk here in the ** Mountain Area. If the ** Mountain Area is really as good as the rumors, then they can definitely go here in the ** Mountain Area. Go into business and make your business bigger.
Yu Feng is such a person. Yu Feng is a merchant of medicinal materials. He used to do business here in ** Mountain Area, but five years ago, he withdrew from ** Mountain Area, and that time he paid compensation. He made a lot of money and almost went bankrupt. Although he has recovered now, he still cannot return to what he was like in his heyday.
The reason why Yu Feng went bankrupt was because of a war between two city-states in the mountainous area. The city-state where Yu Feng was located was defeated, and the city lord who re-ruled his city, although he did not order heavy taxes, But not long after occupying the city, they began to attack businessmen with little background like Feng. Yu Feng was imprisoned on a single charge. Yu Feng's family almost lost their wealth. Only then was Yu Feng taken out of prison. After Yu Feng was released from prison, he immediately left the mountainous area with his family and went to another relatively safe city-state to do business.
Yu Li used the contacts he had accumulated in the past to slowly restore his business. Until now, although his business has recovered a little, it still cannot compare with his heyday.
Later, Yu Feng heard that the mountainous area of ** was unified. If you go to open a shop there, not only will the tax be very low, but no one will give you a hard time. Moreover, the tax there is not collected on a monthly or yearly basis, but on a monthly or yearly basis. Taxes are collected based on your transactions. That is to say, if you don't sell anything, you don't have to pay tax, but after you sell something, you have to pay tax, but the tax is not high. If you hire some needy local people to work for you, you can also pay less tax. This tax policy is not available in the entire spiritual army world.
But Yu Feng didn't believe this at first, because he had stayed in the ** Mountain Area before, and he knew very well what it was like there. He really couldn't compare what he knew about the ** Mountain Area with him. He had heard of this mountainous area, so he didn't believe it. But recently he wanted to go to the mountainous area of ** because he had to go. Recently, the prices of medicinal materials in various city-states on the mainland have dropped a lot, which has also had a great impact on his business. In addition, he has three sons. , and his three sons are about to grow up. If he still engages in such a small business, then in the future, his three sons may only be small traders, and there will not be much development.
For the sake of his child's future, Yu Feng decided to go to the **shanty area to have a look, because Yu Feng knew very well that even though the **shanty area was not as good as people said, it was really profitable to do business there. As a child, he decided to give it a try.
The city-state where Yu Feng is located is called Flowing Fire City-state. The reason why this city-state got such a name is because more than a thousand years ago, there was a flash of fire in the sky. The fire was brighter than the sun here in the Spirit Soldier World, so this city-state From that time on, the name was changed to Flowing Fire City State. The business of Yu Feng's family was actually not very big. It was just a medium-sized pharmacy in Flowing Fire City State. They produced some patent medicines and had two doctors who could treat patients and prescribe medicines.
However, Yu Feng's family's business has encountered a lot of trouble recently because the price of medicines has dropped, but the price of medicines purchased by Yu Feng's family has not dropped much. After adding the reduction in medicine prices, their profits have also dropped a bit. , which made their business more and more difficult. It was precisely because of this that Yu Feng wanted to go to the ** Mountain Area to have a look, because he knew very well that the price of medicinal materials in the ** Mountain Area was not high. There have been various rumors recently, so Yu Feng wanted to go to the mountainous area to see if he had any chance to make his family's business bigger.
But after Yu Feng told his family about this decision, he was opposed by everyone in the family, because Yu Feng's family would not forget how they left the mountainous area, and Yu Feng almost died there. In prison, now he wants to go back to Bianhun Mountain. Of course, his family will not agree. Yu Feng's wife and three children are all opposed, but in the end Yu Feng decided to go and have a look, but his family decided, Let his eldest son go with him. After all, Yu Feng is now in his forties, almost fifty, and his family is worried about going out alone. (To be continued.)
