How is immortality without enjoyment different from a stone that cannot move?
Of course, the two are not antagonistic, but rather complementary.
Just because you want to enjoy it, you will work harder to fight for immortality.
It's just a matter of sequence.
People with low status only want to climb up and enjoy themselves.
Only people with high status and enjoyment will pursue immortality.
It's that simple.
With warblers and swallows, noisy noises, and pleasant fragrance, this New Year's Eve passed smoothly.
Anyway, Li Daoqiang thought it was okay. It was nothing if a few wives fought, and he still found it interesting.
January 1, the tenth year of Black Dragon City.
On the first day of the new year, Li Daoqiang postponed all official duties and let his group of people do their work. He himself stayed with the daughters of the family wholeheartedly.
In the past two years, I have been busy with matters in the Western Region, and I have really neglected the girls. I have to make up for it.
Old people such as Qi Fang, Gongsun Lv'e and others should comfort, accompany and care for you.
Newcomers such as Lu Xueqi and Baguio need to deepen their relationships and cultivate feelings.
At the same time, he also looked inside.
There are still several women he is interested in, but he has not yet tasted them.
For example, outstanding women such as Qin Mengyao and Shi Qingxuan.
Yin Yang also has a few good ones at home.
After thinking about it, he didn't take action immediately. He might as well take care of it. He would still be a little busy in the next few years.
Anyway, the woman he likes can't run away.
Li Daoqiang stayed at home with his daughters wholeheartedly for three months. Only when the situation in the four regions began to stabilize, did Li Daoqiang begin to intervene in government affairs.
"City Lord, this is the latest statistics.
The four borders of Black Dragon City have a total population of more than 20,343,896,000 people.
Among them, Wujing has a population of about 2.53 billion to 5.47 million.
The population of the southern border is about 3.8694 billion.
The northern border has about 5.23129 million.
The Western Region is about 8.7773 million.
Hidden populations must still exist in various places, especially in the newly stabilized Western Region.
The overall population difference between the four borders is about one percent. "
Li Si, who made a splash in the administrative palace and became one of the most core people, respectfully reported to Li Daoqiang.
Today is a relatively large palace meeting. Li Daoqiang personally presided over it to hear the latest situation in all aspects of Black Dragon City.
Li Daoqiang nodded calmly. On the surface, there were about 20.3 billion people, but secretly, about one percent was hidden.
This one percent is more than 100 million.
It may seem like a lot, but this is normal.
There are so many forces in the four realms of Black Dragon City, which one doesn't hide some people?
Just talking about Black Dragon City itself, there is a lot hidden in the various cultivated dead warriors, special warriors, etc.
Out of a total of more than 20 billion, only more than 100 million people are hidden. This is the reason why he is too powerful and the various forces dare not hide too much.
The Ministry of Culture and Literature also contributed a lot, and the old man Xunzi worked enthusiastically, as if he put all his efforts and energy into it.
The old man had a stubborn temper and was not afraid of anything. There were really not many people who dared to fool him.
"Last year, the tax revenue from the four borders totaled 62,387,314,942 taels of silver.
Among them, the city's tax revenue is about 4.5 billion, and the rest is paid by the subordinate forces.
The Western Territory will be much more stable this year. It is expected that tax revenue will increase by about 1.2 billion, and will gradually increase in the following years. "Li Si said again.
This tax refers to land tax and commercial tax, which is the tax system within Black Dragon City. All other subjects are prohibited.
The 4.5 billion is the people, land, and city tax revenue directly managed by Black Dragon City and its major branches.
The remaining more than 50 billion were handed over by the third-level forces under his command.
It is obvious that Black Dragon City's enfeoffment system is quite thorough.
It seems very unhealthy and safe, but if it weren't for that, it would be impossible to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time.
"City Lord, there are currently thirty-one powerful people in the human-immortal realm registered by the major forces in the four territories.
There are twenty-three registered casual cultivators, and seventeen of them are willing to obey my orders in Black Dragon City. "Mei Changsu, who also belongs to the Administration Hall, said respectfully.
He is responsible for the statistics of the strong men under Black Dragon City, especially those who do not belong to Black Dragon City.
Li Daoqiang did some mental calculations and found that the data was not much different.
In addition to the corresponding strong men of the third-level forces under his command who directly entered Black Dragon City, some strong men also joined in for the sake of the general trend and luck of Black Dragon City.
There are more than thirty powerful people from the human-immortal world left, which is not too many.
As time goes by and Black Dragon City becomes more powerful, this number will decrease.
Because no one can bear the temptation to become stronger faster. If they don't join Black Dragon City, they will only gradually fall behind.
On the other hand, those casual cultivators should have hidden a lot.
Even with the power of Black Dragon City, it would be difficult to find them.
But it doesn't matter, as mentioned before, those people will only gradually fall behind.
It would be their loss if they did not seize the opportunity and enter the system of Black Dragon City.
"City Lord, now our Black Dragon City has a total of 186 spiritual veins in the four realms.
It can produce about 5.6 million kilograms of spiritual stones every month.
We are still searching for spiritual veins in various places. According to calculations, there should be dozens of spiritual veins hidden in various places in the four realms. My subordinates have sent Ni Bodhisattva and others to step up the search. "Shang Xiuxun, the Secretary of Internal Affairs, reported the situation regarding the spiritual veins.
The most important core of the Department of Internal Affairs is the situation of spiritual veins.
Because among the top leaders of Black Dragon City, spiritual stones have almost completely replaced the role of gold and silver.
"For the record, City Lord, in addition to the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master, the Hall of Ten Thousand Clans has one monk at the second level of human and immortal, and thirty-six monks at the first level of human and immortal." Wanzu Hall said in a drunken salute.
Zui Zui is a bamboo demon with extraordinary talents and stunning talents. He is also of high moral character, like a humble gentleman, and has gained the trust of Xiao Bai and Li Daoqiang.
The Beast God, the master of the Hall of Ten Thousand Clans, does not take care of things. If Xiaobai, the deputy master of the hall, is not around, he will be in charge.
"For the information of the City Lord, the City Lord's Chamber of Commerce's revenue last year totaled approximately 13.65369 million taels of silver.
After the Western Territory is stabilized and trade routes are unblocked, my subordinates are confident that this number will more than double. "Wan Sanqian said confidently after saluting.
He is a businessman, one of the most outstanding businessmen in the four realms, the kind who always strives to win the first place.
Therefore, since the Battle of the Ming Dynasty Palace, Wan Sanqian has entered Black Dragon City and is responsible for taking care of the secular property directly belonging to the city lord's palace, strictly speaking, directly belonging to Li Daoqiang.
Caravans, shops, chambers of commerce established in Black Dragon City, etc.
After talking in more detail, Li Daoqiang calmly nodded.
One by one, people stood up and reported to Li Daoqiang the aspects they were responsible for, mostly various data.
It was these data that shocked everyone secretly, because it fully demonstrated the power of Black Dragon City.
Let everyone present feel that power.
Naturally, the sense of belonging came up, and the thoughts in my heart were reduced and disappeared.
Li Daoqiang mostly listened quietly throughout the process and rarely spoke.
He calmly observed the mood swings of these talented people and waved them away.
Ignoring their thoughts, he closed his eyes and meditated alone.
This was also the first time he had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the situation in Black Dragon City since the Western Territory was captured and stabilized.
Previously, these data were still being compiled and updated, and were uncertain and incomplete.
Coupled with the increase in the number of big robber points, he already knew this behemoth by heart.
It stretches nearly 300,000 miles from east to west and nearly 400,000 miles from north to south.
There are four people at the third level of human and immortal under his command, a dozen people at the second level of human and immortal, and more than 130 people at the first level of human and immortal.
The monthly income is about 5.6 million jins of spiritual stones, and he controls a population of more than 20 billion.
The number of big bandit points increases by nearly 12,000 every month.
This is the result of his twenty years of struggle.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was full of pride, but he also felt strangely calm.
Suddenly, the world-suppressing scripture is in motion, and the will to suppress the world and push everything seems to be sublimated.
Li Daoqiang was so happy that he immediately came to the secret room and turned on the enlightenment function.
