In Chuanlong Valley, Xu Feng and others bid farewell to the Red Scale Flying Dragon Riders.
Xu Feng brought Yu Ci to Zhou Mao and told him that this was a good seedling brought back from Xia Kingdom and should be put into your Supervision Department to be cultivated.
Xuan Yue was taken by Xu Feng by his side. Xu Feng was worried about the eighth-level Sky Moon Fox wherever he was placed, so it was more appropriate to keep it by his side. He was also a good thug guard at critical moments.
Feilongqi took away all the dragon flags of Xia State before leaving. During the time that Xu Feng left, Yuanfang Mansion underwent earth-shaking changes. The reserve lords and various aristocratic families in Yunzhou gave up their support in Yuanfang Mansion. , only the lords from Xu Cheng's family who were born in Yunzhou gained a foothold in Yuanfang Mansion.
Several states adjacent to Yuanfang Mansion have made large-scale advances, and major aristocratic families have strengthened their military power in Yuanfang Mansion. The king's will has pushed many forces that had previously stood still to come to light.
Within a week, many powerful lords from other states appeared in Yuanfang Mansion, and Xu Feng occupied a large amount of land in Yuanfang Mansion, which immediately became a thorn in their side. However, the appearance of the Xia Kingdom's flag made them avoid it.
However, as time goes by and the Flying Dragon Riders leave, the surrounding forces will soon reveal their fangs of aggression. Land and resources are what these aristocratic families value most.
Xu Cheng's vitality was severely damaged in the previous defensive battle with the orcs. Although the land and resources of more than a dozen cities were annexed after the war, the current combat power of the legion is far less than the defense that covered the entire fifteen cities in the past. , the legion's recruit training has not yet caught up, and it still needs time to settle.
What Xu Feng needs most now is time.
This summer, after being delayed for more than a month, Xu Feng went through all the recent results reported by everyone.
"Go to the Elf territory and call Du Weier."
Xu Feng shouted to the skeleton warrior outside the door.
Not long after, Du Weier came to Xu Feng's side.
"I'm still getting used to my time in Xucheng. If you need anything else, you can tell me at any time."
Xu Feng said to Du Weier.
"It's all good." Du Weier responded. At the previous guard station, the elf archers had made great achievements in battle. The resources and trophies distributed by Xu Feng were enough for the elves to live, and a lot of resources were saved for future rebirths. The purpose of the awakening of elves.
"I have something to leave to you, the Elf clan. The Elf clan is the leader in affinity with the wood element. Every Elf is a master of cultivating plants. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to you."
Xu Feng said while showing a yellow spike to Du Weier.
Du Weier looked at Huang Sui carefully and was a little surprised that there was such a magical thing.
"No problem, the elves promise to complete the mission."
Xu Feng nodded, and at the same time, he also raised the level of protection of the Elf territory again. The two skeleton warriors led the Fire Zombie Warrior Legion to switch defenses to the Elf territory. The Wolf Cavalry Regiment will also be mobilized to the periphery of the Elf territory. If there is any trouble, you can Timely support.
Huangsui's planting base can be said to be the second most important place in Xu City now. You can't be too cautious!
After explaining the matter of planting yellow ears, Du Weier suddenly became a little nervous. Seeing Xu Feng hesitating, his face turned crimson, which made Xu Feng feel a little embarrassed.
"Do you have anything else? It's okay. Just tell me."
Looking at Du Weier's appearance, Xu Feng said, "Your attitude and expression almost put it on your face that I am begging you for something."
"In the previous invasion of the Abyss, the ancient tree of life in our tribe was destroyed. Without the existence of the ancient tree of life, we lost contact with other elves and cut off the source of new elves in the future."
"I still have a seed of the Ancient Tree of Life here, but activating it requires a lot of resources. Our tribe is now..."
Xu Feng finally understood. He wanted to activate the Ancient Tree of Life, but he had no resources. Xu Feng needed to sponsor a batch of resources to help Du Weier, an elven tribe, reactivate the Ancient Tree of Life.
The Ancient Tree of Life is the foundation of the elves. It is not only their best habitat, but also the best place for the birth of new elves. The awakening of each batch of new elves is inseparable from the Ancient Tree of Life. It can be said that the Ancient Tree of Life accompanies The whole process of elves from birth to death.
If the Ancient Tree of Life is not activated for a long time, then the elves like Du Weier will not stay in Xu Feng for a long time. It is no different from chronic death. Moreover, after the Ancient Tree of Life is activated, it will also attract the wandering elves around. Take refuge.
"About how many resources are needed? You can give me a rough range, so I can have an idea."
Xu Feng said that after hearing Du Weier's response, the lack of resources was still within the range that Xu Feng could bear. Xu Feng said that Du Weier would make a specific list and give it to Shen Qian, and Xu Cheng would help the elf The family takes on insufficient resources.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
After hearing that Xu Feng agreed to help the elves activate the ancient tree of life, Du Weier excitedly stepped forward and hugged Xu Feng, and then returned to the elves' camp with a blushing face. She wanted to tell all the tribesmen the good news.
Later, Shen Qian came over and knocked on Xu Feng's door.
"Lord City Lord, all trade routes with Yunzhou have been opened, but trade channels with several surrounding states and cities have been put on hold due to the current tense situation in Yuanfang Mansion."
"Business and trade in the fifteen cities of Chuanlong Valley have returned to normal, and it is expected to generate fiscal revenue of over 10 million first-order beast crystals within the year."
Shen Qian reported to Xu Feng carefully item by item. He was indeed a business wizard. In just over a month, he restored the business of the city that had been destroyed by the war, and he was able to make profits within the year.
You must know that this year, Xu Feng does not plan to have a net financial income from the city. It would be good if he does not pour resources into it. It would be good if it can achieve a balance.
"You've done a great job, but this fiscal revenue is real. I don't want to impose heavy taxes and waste money on people. I'm not a person who likes success. Everything is based on maintaining the stability of people's livelihood. There is no need to rush it."
Xu Feng said to Shen Qian.
"Lord City Lord, this is the city's business promotion plan and expected revenue. Please take a look at it."
Xu Feng flipped through the plan submitted by Shen Qian and couldn't help but admire him. It seemed that he had indeed picked up a business wizard with the help of Lu You. Shen Qian's role in Xu Feng's heart was no less than that of a sixth-level powerhouse. Its status in Xucheng!
Shen Qian signed contracts with the fourteen cities under Xu Feng's command, excluding Xu City, and various aristocratic families in Yunzhou. Each aristocratic family would help Xu Feng rebuild the city, and send a dedicated team to jointly develop the city and share the profits.
At the same time, many restrictive conditions were also put forward for the equity participation of the family, so that the autonomy belongs to Xu Feng, and the development income is shared between the two. Of course, Xu Feng's side takes the majority.
For example, Luzhuang signed a contract with Tianfeng Mansion Lu Ming, and Shicheng signed an agreement with the Bo family. The two of them also acted as a favor and helped Shen Qian open up the situation. Under the leadership of the two, many people who were waiting and watching The aristocratic families reached an agreement with Shen Qian one after another and settled in the remaining twelve cities.
After many considerations, each family decided to participate in the development of the city under Xu Feng. An important factor was the attitude of the leader of the Xia Kingdom towards Xu Feng. The flying dragon rider came to Chuanlong Valley twice, which was an extremely strong signal.
Invest early and reap early profits. When the follow-up orders from the king were issued, and Xucheng could be separated from the jurisdiction of Yunzhou and directly under the Xia State, and even have a high degree of freedom of authority, the fourteen aristocratic families who invested laughed.
