"It's too dangerous outside. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Besides, your cultivation level is not very high now. It's better for everyone to practice together and slowly adapt to this world. It will be good for you and me." Of course I don't want her to leave. This is not It's not that Shang Wanqiu is good-looking, but that she has a group of elites in the Ghost Immortal Sect. I still have to keep her.
Shang Wanqiu began to think deeply, and Yuan Ci took the opportunity to say: "Nowadays, when employing people, and everything is difficult at the beginning, you also know that the wilderness is full of dangers. And the immortal energy in this place is not as good as the lower realm of purgatory, so why not listen to it?" In one day, he is the best at helping people level up. I think it won’t take two years for us to reach full level again.”
"What is the full level?" Shang Wanqiu glared at Yuanci. Yuanci touched his head and said, "It's like entering the Tao and reaching the Nine Yang Realm."
Shang Wanqiu looked at Yuan Ci with wide eyes and said in disbelief: "Impossible! Do you think I am easy to fool?"
"Who dares to fool you? It's true. If you don't believe it, just wait until Li Poxiao and Sun Chongyang come back and ask. Can this be fake? Do you want to continue to work behind closed doors like you did in the lower world? Then what? Hundreds of years have passed." Yuan Ci looked serious.
I knew this guy was half a magician. If he didn't still have a bald head now, I would no longer regard him as a monk.
Shang Wanqiu is very interested in cultivation. Although he is absolutely unwilling to follow me, he has no other choice at this moment: "Okay, I'll stay for now, but aren't you afraid of raising tigers?"
"Fellow Daoist Shang, who is your brother Shang Zhao? You can ask your colleagues in the Guixian Sect. If you always yell at me to kill me, your life will be a lot less interesting, right?" I said calmly, she killed She can't help me, and she has saved me. I can see that she doesn't hate me that much anymore. Besides, she should also know who her brother is, and vendetta is normal in Xuanmen.
Shang Wanqiu frowned, and then said: "But I promised his mother that I would take your life back. I chased you here, and I will kill you with your head!"
"Aren't you and him brother and sister?" I asked curiously. Shang Wanqiu frowned and said, "cousin."
"Oh... that's quite close. You treat him well." Yuan Ci said, and Shang Wanqiu glared at him: "Do you think he is the same as you modern people?"
"You have transformed into an immortal body, aren't you also a modern person?" Yuan Ci shrugged and smiled.
"At least my heart is not!" Shang Wanqiu said unhappily. He seemed to be dissatisfied with us modern people. Maybe he felt that our friendship was weak or something. I immediately said: "You think you can kill me? In fact, before You can't even be of a higher level than me, and now you're still not good at it, right? Or are you planning to use the spell I converted for you to deal with me?"
"This..." Shang Wanqiu hesitated, and Yuan Ci said: "No, after saving you so many times in one day, I am closer than your own brother. I think your cousin's character is not that good. How many times has he saved you? I’m afraid he’s tricked you a lot, right?”
"This..." Shang Wanqiu began to hesitate again, and I smiled: "Stop doing this and that, and get to work quickly. I think people from other organizations will come over soon. Internal and external troubles are imminent."
Yuan Ci and Shang Wanqiu didn't say anything anymore, and went to reorganize the team obediently, and prepared to print announcements, and even sent out patrols to vigorously search for the lost lower realm monks in the surrounding area. They also organized several small teams and went directly into the wilderness to search for them. .
The team that goes to search for people is still composed of patrol teams, while the monks from the lower realm serve as auxiliary ones. Each patrol team brings a monk from the lower realm. Let them learn the ancient language and the fighting methods here, while the monks in the lower world are responsible for teaching everyone some small spells that can be used. In this way, everyone can become Bai Gaozheng and no longer be a three-axe. You need to rely on protective shields and weapon condensation to deal with enemies, but use spells!
There must be an improvement in combat effectiveness, but it takes a lot of time to ferment. Even if the news is blocked again, two days later, someone still came with the news. The nearby Daye City already knew the news that the person with the bounty was here. As for There is no news yet about Yang Zhenglin's death.
When I got the news, there were quite a few monks from the lower realms who came to Guanzhong City one after another. In total, there were about a thousand people, and they brought many relatives with them. The total number was about three thousand, because they were ghost cultivators. , so you still have to practice a lot before you can refine your immortal body.
Sun Chongyang and Zhao Xianguan came back together, but they were blocked in the wilderness. After going around for a long time, he came out with many scars. I was not surprised that the two of them were together. After all, Sun Chongyang seemed to be interested in Zhao Xianguan. As for Zhao Xianguan, I don't know.
Yin Ge also came back with a group of monks. The experience in the wilderness had a huge impact on him. The moment he saw the city and saw me, he almost burst into tears. For me to become the city lord, of course he was Thumbs up. I actually persuaded many people to join my army.
I called them together and held a meeting to provide guidance, asking them to practice if they were willing to practice, and to join the army if they were willing to follow me. After all, there are many benefits to joining the army, and they can be tax-free in the city. Those who do not join the army will need to pay much more taxes than ordinary people if they want to enter the city to gain protection.
As for the original patrol team, the team of 500 people will be retained for the time being, but the strength has been replaced by monks who are one level higher than the mortals in the upper world. The number has also been changed to a picket team. They are responsible for maintaining order in the city and fighting external wars. Get on theirs.
Since Guanzhong City and other cities are autonomous regions, we must have independent troops, so we gathered the monks outside the pickets and established an autonomous committee in the city. I became the first president, mainly to defend the city's security. At critical times, There is going to be a war.
The city's management has been greatly improved since the pickets came to power, and taxes have been reduced overall. It turns out that the properties of the four urban district bosses were also confiscated, but the strange thing is that their wealth is not as high as I imagined. .
"You may not know that there is a price to pay for establishing an autonomous region. Otherwise, how could we let Qian Hui, Yang Zhenglin, and Bai Gaozheng mess around here? Everyone has to hand over immortal crystals, otherwise the organization will fight Come here! One day boss. I have seen what you have been doing these days. It is different from several bosses. In fact, our subordinates have also thought about doing this when we dreamed about it, but you must not have planned it. Will you pay the money to the organization?" Liu Bin looked at me staring at the account book, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he was expecting something big.
"What? Have you handed over the money? Organization? What organization?" I was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that it was not going so smoothly. Of course others could think of what I thought of, but others didn't do that. It must make sense. After listening to Liu Bin That being said, not only me, but also several city district leaders who participated in this meeting thought so.
Liu Bin and He Dou took over Beicheng District and Nancheng District, Yuan Ci and Shang Wanqiu took over Dongcheng District and Xicheng District, I was in charge of the central government, Yin Ge was in charge of military affairs, and Sun Chongyang and Zhao Xianguan followed me in charge of dispatching orders.
Li Poxiao disappeared again, otherwise I would have given him a title. I heard from my subordinates that he seems to be dead, but I don't believe it. This guy is a nine-life cat demon. I haven't killed him in the lower world for so long. How could he die so casually?
"It's the big organization that manages our municipality. They are all very powerful monks. They stipulate that we have to deliver fairy crystals to them every month. I heard that this situation has been going on for decades. When Yang Zhenglin was there, , we have this policy. We always have dedicated people to collect the full amount of fairy crystals, but we have to give them away! Take our Guanzhong City for example. There are fights from time to time, and the boss changes every year, but there has never been a situation where the fairy crystals were not handed over. Crystal! It must still be a share of one thousand fairy crystals per month! Two hundred and fifty in one city!" He Dou said quickly.
"So much? What will happen if I don't give it?" I frowned. I wasn't going to be obedient in the first place. I didn't want to pay the protection fee, let alone a thousand immortal crystals. Not to mention now, even if I could get the lower realm in the past, I couldn't hand over so much in one month! This is greater than the consumption of Tianyicheng! No wonder Yang Zhenglin and others are obsessed with fairy crystals. The people above are clamoring for fairy crystals every day, and the people below are busy working on this matter every day. It is indeed not easy to do anything else.
"Actually, it was rumored decades ago. This tax is still affordable. One thousand a month is absolutely relaxing and enjoyable. But after so many years, you have also seen that the glory has passed. People are getting poorer and poorer. We collect The methods of taxation are becoming more and more cruel, and they are not much different from the gangsters. We also think that it would be better if we don’t pay? But these thoughts are all suppressed. Really, these people are like gods. Otherwise, we This place has been unified a long time ago, and the army has also come out. Otherwise, how come we are still in the status of an autonomous region for decades?" He Dou continued to introduce the situation, his expression changing as he spoke. He seemed to realize that my expression didn't look like I was paying taxes, which inevitably made him very scared.
"When will the next tax be collected?" I asked, and after calculation, I sold off a few bosses' belongings, and only had about 1,340 fairy crystals, which would definitely be enough to pay the tax. But the key points I used to organize armaments have been spent long ago!
When Liu Bin and He Dou heard what I said about paying taxes, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bin said, "Oh, don't worry, boss, we still have three days to prepare."
