After comforting Yun Siyao, Chen Luo briefly introduced the "Tomb of the Living Dead", but seeing Yun Siyao's current mood, Chen Luo temporarily concealed the fact that he had wandered under the barbarian sky.

However, when Yun Siyao wanted to enter the Tomb of the Living Dead, the entrance shook violently and seemed to collapse. Lin Chaoying's spiritual message came from the ancient tomb, explaining that Yun Siyao's cultivation level was too high and the ancient tomb could not bear it.
This is normal. If there were no cultivation restrictions, and Chen Luo smuggled a dozen Semi-Saints under the barbarian sky, they would not be a military team behind enemy lines, but air-dropped mushroom bombs.
After understanding the ins and outs, Yun Siyao also let out a long sigh. The fourth senior brother almost broke the holy path for this junior brother, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the protector of his junior brother. If he was really tricked without saying a word, She didn't even know how to explain it to him.
When Yun Siyao thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the rainy night when the dragon roared in his childhood, and a great fear surged into his heart, so he used the "Skill of Yi Tian" without hesitation.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm and everything was safe!
Then he remembered that he had thrown himself into Chen Luo's arms before, and he couldn't help but blush slightly. He said with a straight face, "I won't do this again," and hurriedly left the study.
Chen Luo looked at Yun Siyao's back with a solemn expression. He was very concerned about Yun Siyao's state and the strand of white hair he saw before.
But Yun Siyao would definitely not tell him. Chen Luo thought for a moment and decided to send a letter to Minister Wen in Zhongjing.
The first is to ask about the current situation of the fourth senior brother, and the second is to ask the sixth senior sister what is going on.
It just so happens that I want to send the rest of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" over there, so let's join us along the way.
As for Man Tianxia's smuggling plan, it is still necessary to collect as much information as possible on Man Yuan before taking action.
The so-called know yourself and the enemy, plan before taking action!
He is not the reckless King Kong of Fourth Senior Brother!
…
At three o'clock in the morning, Qin Dangguo was sitting outside the only school in Dongcang City, smoking a cigarette. puffs of smoke came out of his mouth and dissipated in the air.
He has been in Dongcang City for three years, and he has never felt so comfortable.
Wan Anbo is a generous person. He provides plenty of food. It is all high-quality food purchased by Zhongjing, not the low-grade military food sent by caravans or Tianbo City. It contains rich energy. To be honest, the people in Dongcang City may have never eaten such food in their lives.
There are also those women who are quick in cloth and silk. They have stayed up late to put on new clothes for their children. Seeing the happy faces of all the children, Qin Dangguo feels happy.
So whenever they heard Wan Anbo's request in the past two days, everyone became more diligent. Although only a small area around the city lord's palace was cleaned up, the filth was finally invisible.
Unfortunately……
Qin Dangguo explored the ashtray on the soles of his feet, feeling worried again.
Even if Wan Anbo is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive out?
How long can he support Dongcang City with his wealth alone?
Should we replace those grains with inferior ones and distribute less cloth, so that we can last longer?
But strictly speaking, from the moment Wan Anbo arrived, he was no longer an official in Dongcang City, and his resume was not clean. Is it appropriate to give advice to Wan Anbo?
Just when Qin Dangguo was thinking this, Chen Luo's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Master Qin..."
Qin Dangguo turned around and saw Chen Luo standing behind him with a smile. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Wan Anbo!"
"You're welcome. Are you free? Come with me for a walk out of the city. I want to discuss something with you."
Qin Dangguo said quickly: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."
…
Walking out of Dongcang City, the wild wind became stronger again.
Chen Luo walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Qin Dangguo followed Chen Luo, following suit.
"Master Qin, I intend to keep you in Dongcang City as a city guard. What do you think?"
The city guard is an exclusive position in the Holy Land. He is the chief executive of a city. He is in charge of the people's livelihood in the city and is the core figure of the city.
Qin Dangguo was stunned and said hesitantly: "Uncle, back then I..."
Chen Luo interrupted Qin Dangguo's words and said: "Qin Gan, who has been in the country since he was in power, recruited people in his sixteenth year. For example, in the third year of Kang's reign, he ranked second in the imperial examination. Because he was dissatisfied with the corruption of Shangguan, he used 'Shuo Rat' to kill Shangguan without permission. , was punished to go to the northern battlefield and fight hard for ten years."
"Ten years later, the Prime Minister recalled you and appointed you as the magistrate of Jian County, Yuezhou. Six years later, you were promoted to the prefect of Suikang Prefecture based on your merits."
"During my tenure, Suikang Mansion ranked first in Yuezhou every year in the official examination. The Prime Minister wanted to transfer you to the main hall twice, but he gave up because the people refused to stay."
"Thirteen years ago, your adopted son Qin Bu fell into a trap and bought a tampered horse. The horse lost control and killed a mother and daughter in the street."
"For the first time since you recorded it, you have selfish motives and tried to protect Qin Buwei."
"But half a day later, you suddenly woke up and personally arrested Qin Buwei who had escaped."
"Afterwards, according to the Daxuan Law, you were dismissed from office. But you took the initiative to write a letter and asked for a seventh-grade academic and political officer, and took the initiative to come to Dongcang City."
"Are these what I said correct?"
Master Qin looked at Chen Luo blankly.
These were naturally the information sent by Zhou Zuofeng after he chose Dongcang City.
Zhou Zuofeng did not mention Wu Peizhi, but specifically circled Qin Dangguo, saying: He once wanted to train him as his successor...
After observing the past two days, especially in the treatment of the wounded and the distribution of food, everything was arranged in an orderly manner and seemed to be done with ease.
Chen Luo felt that Zhou Zuofeng was not lying.
At this time, Qin Dangguo also looked at Chen Luo doubtfully.
He wasn't surprised that Chen Luo knew this, but what was strange to him was that Chen Luo would take the time to understand it.
Qin Dangguo hesitated for a moment and replied: "Buwei is the benefactor's orphan when my subordinates fought to the death in the north. He is the benefactor's only bloodline."
"Loyal to the world, but the country has failed its benefactor."
"This Dongcang is the birthplace of my benefactor!"
"I can only return this favor to my benefactor Sangzi."
Chen Luo nodded.
That makes sense.
Chen Luo immediately saluted Qin Dangguo and said: "Mr. Qin, Luo has the honor of commanding Dongcang City because of his teacher's love. I am willing to build this city and dominate the east. Please help me, Mr. Qin."
Qin Dangguo quickly helped Chen Luo up, looked into Chen Luo's sincere eyes, and nodded solemnly: "It's true!"
Chen Luo smiled and stretched out his right hand. Qin Dangguo was stunned for a moment before he slapped his right hand upward.
"Snapped!"
The oath is fulfilled!
…
After forming an alliance, the atmosphere between Chen Luo and Qin Dangguo became much more relaxed.
Qin Dangguo said: "Uncle, I think it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish."
Chen Luo smiled lightly: "Mr. Qin, are you talking about my food release announcement?"
"Exactly." Qin Dangguo said with a serious face, having already entered the role of city guard, "Although it is a work-for-relief, after all, the labor does not match the income, and it is the uncle's private wealth. This is not a long-term way."
"If nothing happens, Dongcang City will return to its previous state."
Chen Luo nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin is right. There are only ten thousand people in the city at present. If there are one hundred thousand or one million people, I really can't afford it with my small body."
Qin Dangguo hesitated slightly: "One hundred thousand people? One million people? Uncle's ambition is admired by humble officials. But for now, let's solve the problem of these ten thousand people first."
Chen Luo glanced at Qin Dangguo and knew that he thought he was bragging, but he was not in a hurry to argue. What he said was right. Even if he used the concept of a university town to attract a large number of people, in the end the city's security would not be able to keep up. That’s not possible either.
In Chen Luo's view, external funds and population are supplements that can make Dongcang City stronger, but first, Dongcang City must be allowed to survive.
Dongcang City is dead now.
While the two were talking, they had already reached a piece of cultivated farmland, and saw some farmers working in mood in the distance.
Chen Luo knelt down, looked at the sweet potato-like fruits in the field, and frowned.
Luo Hongnu had already told himself that this thing was called Cang Gua in Dongcang City, and it was the only crop that could grow in the climate of Dongcang City. It could be used as a staple food or as a dish.
But unlike the sweet potatoes in Chen Luo's previous life, the yield of this kind of green melon is not high. The yield per mu is only five or six stones. A family of five may have to work hard for a year, but they may be hungry for several months in the end.
If it weren't for the military rations shipped from Tianbo Mansion, they might have starved to death.
"The next focus of the City Lord's Mansion is to change the planting of plants. Instead of planting these melons, plant these things."
With that said, Chen Luo patted the storage order. Chen Luo took a dozen small pockets in his hand and handed them to Qin Dangguo.
"These seeds are samples. I have many more here. I will ask Hong Nu to compile a planting method later, and I will trouble Mr. Qin to arrange them as well."
"Besides, if we continue to reclaim wasteland, we in Dongcang City will be short of everything except land."
"After these plants mature, the City Lord's Mansion can purchase them in unlimited quantities. You decide the price, Master. My idea is that every family's children must wear new clothes and eat meat."
"In addition, I want to set up a 'pharmaceutical bureau' in the city lord's palace. Mr. Qin, you select a group of clever women and swear an oath not to leak any information."
Qin Dangguo frowned as he listened to Chen Luo explain these arrangements in one breath. He would put the matter of the "Pharmaceutical Bureau" aside for now, but he had to remind him about this planting matter: "Uncle, you mean we will plant this in the future." ?”
Qin Dangguo shook the seeds in his hand.
"My uncle may not know something. In the vast area around Dongcang City, the power of heaven and the power of man are mixed. Apart from cang melons, there are only big leaf trees in Dayeling. Other crops cannot support it!"
Chen Luo smiled lightly: "Don't worry, you can live on!"
Chen Luo naturally knew in his heart that these seeds were all redeemed from the "Good Fortune Garden" in the secret realm of Shulin, including ginseng, Fuling, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, Shouwu, Lingzhi, bear bile, Panax notoginseng, Musk is the raw material for the "Eight Life-Extending Pills" in "The Swordsman", and there are nine kinds of exotic flowers and herbs, which are the raw materials for the "Nine Flowers and Jade Dew Pills" on Peach Blossom Island in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Because they were exchanged from the "Good Fortune Garden", these plants can survive in places like Dongcang City.
Chen Luo's idea is simple. Since Dongcang City is not suitable for growing food crops, then we can grow cash crops.
He took the finished products of these two medicines himself. In addition to improving some worldly aura, they also had different effects. For example, the Life-Sustaining Eight Pills make the blood energy more vigorous, and the Nine-Flower Gyokuro Pills make the soul clearer.
Nowadays, martial arts are widely spread in the world, but there are no elixirs for improving martial arts. Although some great scholars and Taoists have imitated the descriptions in the book and made medicines with corresponding effects, the cost is too expensive.
With such a huge market in martial arts, isn't this the only part of Dongcang City?
There is also Black Jade Intermittent Ointment at the back, and when "Dragon and the Eight Parts" comes out, there will be the Great Return Pill and the Lesser Return Pill to take.
This is the first pillar industry planned by Chen Luo for Dongcang City, and it is also the first breath of bringing Dongcang City back to life.
Even the agents have thought about it.
Ye Dafu!
It should be no problem to pay for the goods in advance.
There is no way, Dongcang City is so poor!
