"good!"
Mei Changge nodded, then looked at the people below.
"Huang Shang is currently in charge of Qinglian City."
"Huo Anning is currently in charge of Hillwood City."
"Luo Ping is currently in charge of Black Rock City."
"Huang Shang, Huo Anning, and Luo Ping have met the lord!"
Following Guo Jia's introduction, the three of them stood up and bowed to Mei Changge.
These three people are currently the three city lords of Qinglian territory.
"Lord, because the other cities have not yet been finalized, they are temporarily under my control. After the arrangements are made, I will select suitable candidates from Qingyun Pavilion."
Guo Jia raised his hands to Mei Changge and said.
Currently, in the Qinglian territory, the only truly named cities are Qinglian City, Shanlin City and Black Rock City. Except for Qingyun City, several other cities have been built but have not yet been named.
The main reason is that these cities will fall into no man's land in the future.
"No need to be polite!"
Mei Changge looked at the three of them and nodded slightly. Being able to stand out from Qingyun Pavilion and temporarily act as the city lord meant that the three of them had been tested by Guo Jia.
"Qinglian's territory will be expanded in the future, and the position of City Lord is just the beginning. I hope you can do your best!"
At this time, Mei Changge spoke to the three of them in a serious tone.
In his mind, the position of city lord may seem to be at the top of Qinglian territory at present, but in the future, the position of city lord should belong to the middle level.
Above the city lord, there will also be counties and even states.
Of course, this is Mei Changge's plan for the future, and it can also be regarded as his ambition. At least for now, the position of city lord is one of the top leaders of Qinglian territory.
"We will do our best!"
The three of them spoke seriously, and even Huang Shang had a hint of recognition on his face.
Huang Shang was originally a civil servant in the Song Dynasty. Although he retired in the later period, he still knew the Song Dynasty very well. Since the demise of the Song Dynasty royal family, he also joined the Qinglian territory along with the people of the Song Dynasty.
I have been observing this Qinglian territory for a long time. Whether it is the opening of the skills, the rare treasures in Qingyun City, etc., they all describe the magic of this world.
Coupled with the fact that he heard about the supernatural powers that he had mastered in the extraordinary realm, his heart that had cooled down could not help but become hot.
It even gave birth to the idea of becoming an official.
What's more, in his eyes, the Qinglian Territory at this time still looked like a territory, but it already had a dynasty atmosphere. It was just that Mei Changge was missing to ascend the throne and become the king.
"Okay, okay, sit down!"
Mei Changge smiled and waved his hand to signal a few people to sit down.
"Yuying, here is the delicious food. Today I will drink with you all and chat while drinking!"
Mei Changge looked at Yuying who was standing beside him and ordered.
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Yuying squatted slightly and said with respect on her face.
Then a maid, under Yuying's command, began to deliver delicacies to each table.
These dishes were all made by a famous chef that Guo Jia specially recruited from the Qinglian territory in the past few days.
Moreover, the materials required for each delicacy contain spirituality. It can be said that they are all made with spiritual plants.
Mei Changge also noticed that everyone present was a little nervous, so he planned to talk while drinking, which would also make everyone present feel less nervous.
"Lord, because the number of cities in the territory has gradually increased recently, I think the territory should be able to collect taxes!"
The delicacies were continuously served in the hands of the maid, and Guo Jia asked directly. Compared with the restraint of others, he didn't feel that way. Instead, he asked questions directly.
"Yes, business in major cities is also increasing, and taxes can indeed be collected."
Hu Hua nodded in agreement when he heard Guo Jia's words.
Taxation is a necessity to maintain the operation of a power, not to mention that after the establishment of a dynasty in the future, money will be needed to train Taoist soldiers and distribute salaries.
However, Mei Changge doesn't actually attach much importance to taxation. After all, there are countless star gate worlds, and the resources obtained from these star gate worlds are enough to meet the development of Qinglian territory.
But this can only be established under a large number of star gates. If a force wants to develop for a long time, tax issues are inevitable.
"Lord, whether it is business or other aspects, taxation can stabilize the finances of Qinglian Territory, so I think taxation is an important thing for the current development of Qinglian Territory."
Guo Jiaze said again that he knew that Mei Changge would ascend to the throne in the near future. If a dynasty left the Star Gate and wanted to develop in the long term, taxation was inevitable.
After all, whether it is officials' salaries, construction of territories, etc., the money basically comes from the national treasury.
The biggest revenue for the treasury is tax revenue.
"Lord, the Xianji Tower not only counts the population of Qinglian Territory, but also measures a lot of land. I think the land is also an upcoming problem that Qinglian Territory will face."
At this time, Xu Changqing said, although the issue was not taxation, land was also a very important matter.
What's more, as the population of Qinglian Territory has skyrocketed, more food is needed, but now the food problem is actually not important.
Because whether it is Qinglian territory or Mei Changge's blessed land, it has been planted on a large scale.
"Land can also generate tax revenue. If there is a lot of land but it is not used, it will also cause land waste."
Guo Jia on the side even agreed with Xu Changqing's question.
Mei Changge sat on the throne, watching everyone talking, Mei Changge said.
"Any other suggestions?"
"My lord, there is something going on in Qingyi Building."
At this time, Guo Jing stood up and said with a serious face.
"Talk about it."
"My lord, Qingyi Tower is responsible for the punishment of Qinglian territory. The population is currently booming and the quality of the people is different. Some people are more likely to make mistakes."
"There are also some Jianghu people who bully the people with their strength, and Qingyi Tower needs a special building to detain these Jianghu people."
Guo Jing had a serious expression on his face. For some Jianghu people, although they were arrested and brought to justice, ordinary prisons were easily destroyed, which also led to serious property losses in Qingyi Building.
You can't always ask for money from Hu Hua.
"Well, what else does anyone else think?"
Mei Changge nodded, but did not answer him quickly. Instead, he looked at the others again.
As for Xu Chu, Yue Fei and the others, they did not participate in these topics, because these things are things that scribes need to consider.
They just need to go out and fight.
"Lord, I also have an idea!"
Zhao Decai looked at his colleagues around him and basically expressed some thoughts. He had no choice but to stand up and face Mei Changge with his hands in his hands.
"Chuangchuang Building currently has experience in establishing factories, but I think that in addition to some special factories, some factory technologies can be opened to the people of Qinglian Territory."
"I think this has two benefits for the Chuangchuang Building. One is that it allows the Chuangchuang Building to focus more on refining the items needed by the territory, and the other is that it stimulates business."
Zhao Decai organized his words and said to Mei Changge.
This matter was also because Hu Hua had a conversation with him. After all, the establishment of the factory has a great impact on business.
However, the Creation Building cannot continue to open factories, and some less important factories can also be released appropriately.
For example, ordinary garment factories, some daily necessities, etc.
These factories not only waste the talent of Chuangchuanglou, but also distract Chuangchuanglou.
After listening to Zhao Decai's words, Hu Hua nodded in agreement. He had already considered this matter, but he had never raised it.
After all, the establishment and responsibility of the factory are basically in charge of the Chuangchuang Building.
Mei Changge thought for a while and glanced at several people.
"Lord, I have one more thing!"
At this time Guo Jia spoke again.
"Fengxiao, you say."
Mei Changge nodded and asked Guo Jia to talk.
"Currently, the only martial arts open to the Qinglian Territory is the Changchun Gong. But now that the Jianghu people of the Song Dynasty have joined the Qinglian Territory, some low-grade martial arts have been spread in the territory."
"In addition, with the establishment of Zongwu Pavilion's martial arts sect, the skills have been completely circulated in the territory. I think various basic skills in Zangxing Tower can be opened."
"Including basic formations, alchemy techniques, talisman-making techniques, etc."
"This will help the people in the territory develop in multiple directions."
Guo Jia's tone was calm. Now the people in Qinglian territory have completely adapted to practice, but they don't know much about other things about practice.
Formations, elixirs, talismans, etc., these things cannot be given up. On the contrary, we must pay attention to them so that the people of the territory can develop towards diversity.
When Mei Changge heard Guo Jia's words, his face showed a thoughtful expression. Regarding this matter, he found that it was indeed of great benefit to the territory as Guo Jia said.
For the next time, everyone was chatting and eating the delicacies on the table.
These few things have been tentatively decided.
The first is the issue of taxation. Mei Changge asked Guo Jia to study it after he goes back. Taxation is not just established, it must be accurate and appropriate.
What's more, in Mei Changge's impression, many dynasties have caused jealousy and resentment due to tax issues, so this issue must be cautious.
Mei Changge even told Guo Jia that he did not intend to collect agricultural taxes. After all, growing food can be said to be the simplest thing in the world.
And he plans to establish official fields that belong exclusively to Qinglian territory to grow food on a large scale.
Regarding Xu Changqing's mention of land, Mei Changge decided that all land belongs to the territory and cannot be bought or sold.
However, you can rent the Xianji Building. You only need to pay a certain amount of Wanlian coins to rent the land for a period of time.
As for the food grown, the territory will not collect any cents.
As for the prison problem mentioned by Guo Jing, this can be easily solved. As long as he is given a rare treasure that can be used to imprison and suppress, it can be solved.
And he really has a special rare treasure in his hand.
Yellow sand purgatory.
This rare treasure was obtained by Xu Chu from the first-level star gate world. Although it is only at the ninth level, its ability is quite suitable for Qingyi Tower.
As for the final issue between Zhao Decai and Guo Jia.
One is the opening of factory technology, and the other is the opening of basic skills. Mei Changge directly agreed to both.
The opening of the factory will not only save Chuangchuang Building some trouble, but also promote the commercial development of the territory.
As for the opening up of basic skills, it will allow the people of the territory to develop in diversified directions.
There are no disadvantages, not to mention that those exercises are just basic exercises, which are still good for the people in the territory who have already entered the cultivation path.
Regarding the development of the Qinglian territory, the basic discussion was almost complete. Xu Chu and others on the other side were not very interested in these things. Instead, they were immersed in eating the delicacies on the table.
"Everyone, in addition to discussing the development of the territory today, I also want to reward you for your contribution to the Qinglian Territory!"
When the banquet was coming to an end, Mei Changge looked at everyone.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at him.
"Fengxiao's contribution to the Qinglian territory should be obvious to all. Today, I will give you a book of gold and jade, a brilliant star lotus, and a hundred bottles of top-grade white jade spiritual wine! Several other spiritual wines."
Mei Changge looked at Guo Jia, and then a book appeared in his hand.
Although this golden book is a ninth-grade rare treasure, it was also specially selected by Mei Changge.
Golden jade book
Grade: Ninth grade
Introduction: Absorb literary spirit and nourish yourself. (The stronger the literary spirit, the greater the chance of promotion)
This rare treasure looks ordinary, but it has the possibility of promotion, but it is not that easy to be promoted.
"Thank you, Lord, for the treasure!"
Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he bowed to Mei Changge, but Mei Changge felt that maybe Guo Jia's eyes lit up after hearing some other spiritual wines.
As for the Golden Jade Book, maybe two bottles of White Jade Spiritual Wine would not make him happy in his eyes.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhao!"
Mei Changge didn't care about Guo Jia's reaction, but looked at Xu Changqing and Zhao Decai.
"One of you manages the Immortal Book Building, and the other manages the Creation Building. I also know your contribution to the Qinglian territory. Each of you will be given a rare treasure, and the spiritual wine will be the same as the filial piety."
"As for the exotic treasures, you can choose them yourself in the Hidden Star Tower."
For the two of them, Mei Changge didn't know which exotic treasure would be suitable for them at the moment, but he directly gave them the opportunity to freely choose the exotic treasure.
At this time, Mei Changsinger had already accumulated a lot of ninth-grade rare treasures. All kinds of them, including palaces, attics, etc., were all put into the Hidden Star Tower by him.
Some can be used, and some may not be used. Anyway, it is not a waste to reserve them, and they will always be used.
"Guo Jing!"
Mei Changge's eyes fell on Guo Jing.
"Lord!"
"As for the prison in Qingyi Tower, I give you Qingyi Tower - the rare treasure of Huangsha Purgatory, which can be used to imprison criminals."
"In addition, you can also enter the Hidden Star Tower and choose an exotic treasure yourself."
The Yellow Sand Purgatory was prepared for the Qingyi Tower, so it was naturally not exclusive to Guo Jing. However, Mei Changge also gave Guo Jing a place to enter the Hidden Star Tower to choose rare treasures.
"There are many rare treasures in the Hidden Star Tower. You can enter and choose one rare treasure. This can be regarded as your contribution to the Qinglian territory."
"I will instruct Yuying to distribute the other rewards."
Mei Changge's eyes swept over everyone. This time, not only Guo Jia and others, but also Huang Shang and the other three were also granted a quota to enter the Cangxing Tower to select exotic treasures.
"I'll thank you Lord for the treasure!"
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. They naturally knew the abilities of the exotic treasures, not to mention that it was up to them to enter the Hidden Star Tower to choose.
This also made them feel even happier.
"Zhongkang!"
Mei Changge's eyes fell in another direction in the hall this time.
When Xu Chu heard Mei Changge suddenly calling him, he put down the wine glass in his hand and greeted Mei Changge.
"Lord!"
"After the banquet is over, you can take the Golden Crow Guards into the Wuxiang Dao Soldier Tower."
"Yes, my lord!"
Although Xu Chu didn't know why he was suddenly asked to take the Golden Crow Guards into the Wuxiang Taoist Tower, he didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.
As Mei Changge's personal bodyguard, the Golden Crow Guards do not need to enter the first-level star gate to plunder, and the Golden Crow Guards are also the strongest Taoist soldiers among the many Taoist soldiers.
After all, the five thousand nearly half-step extraordinary Tao soldiers are basically superior to other Tao soldiers.
"My lord, if the Golden Crow Guards enter the Wuxiang Taoist Tower, what about the Qingyun Palace?"
Xu Chu suddenly thought that if he took all the Golden Crow Guards into the Wuxiang Dao Soldier Tower, wouldn't there be no guards in Qingyun Palace?
"No problem!"
When Mei Changge heard Xu Chu's words, he immediately waved his hand, and then nodded lightly to Yuying beside him.
Yuying also instantly understood what Mei Changge meant.
Slightly rotating the spiritual energy in her body, the pale white spiritual energy covered Yuying's body like a layer of gauze.
Xu Chu also felt Yuying's realm instantly.
Extraordinary three levels.
"this……"
Xu Chu was obviously stunned, with an incredible look in his eyes.
He never thought that one of the maids was stronger than him, and then he couldn't help but look at the other maids.
"Sisters."
Yuying gave a slight signal, and then all the thirty-five maids in the hall burst out with extraordinary strength.
Xu Chu only felt that he had been hit hard.
"My lord, if all members of the Golden Crow Guard cannot reach the extraordinary state, I will not come out."
Xu Chu only felt a pressure on him, and even assured Mei Changge.
Of course, this is also Mei Changge's idea. It is his plan for all members of the Golden Crow Guard to enter the extraordinary world. Otherwise, Xu Chu would not be allowed to lead all the Golden Crow Guards into the Wuxiang Taoist Tower.
"Yu Bai, you will be guarding the Daxia Black Wall for now. After a while, the martial arts disciples in the Zongwu Building will also go to the Daxia Black Wall."
"Yes, my lord!"
Song Yubai cupped his hands and said, although he has not encountered foreigners yet, the Black Wall of Daxia is constantly expanding, and he will encounter them sooner or later.
In addition to their Taoist soldiers, the disciples from the Wumen of Zongwu Tower will also climb the Black Wall of Daxia to assist the Taoist soldiers in guarding.
"The rest of the people must also take turns guarding the Black Wall of Daxia with Yubai, and they must not stop taking care of matters in the first-level star gate world."
"Xu Ding will continue to enter the no-man's land and bring back the Stargate token from the no-man's land, and the development of the Stargate world will also proceed at the same time."
Mei Changge looked at Xu Ding and nodded gently to him.
"Yes, my lord"
Xu Ding's face was serious. When he entered the no-man's land for the first time, he accidentally learned something he shouldn't know from the Shankui tribe, which resulted in heavy losses for the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry.
This time the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry re-recruited, reaching 20,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry Taoist soldiers. He would never allow himself to be defeated again.
"Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, because you two have not become Tao soldiers yet, you will train the newly recruited soldiers for the time being."
"Of course you have to be ready to fight at any time."
"Yes, my lord!"
Mei Changge ordered Yue Fei and the two of them, which also shocked the two of them. After all, the other generals were either guarding the Black Wall of Daxia or entering the Star Gate World to plunder.
Naturally, the two of them don't want to continue like this, but if they don't become Tao soldiers, they won't have a special military formation. Although the two of them have entered the extraordinary, there is still a gap between soldiers.
"All generals in the Jiangxin Tower can also enter the Zangxing Tower to choose a weapon and rare treasure."
"I'm waiting for you to open up and expand the territory of Qinglian!"
Mei Changge looked serious and said seriously to Xu Chu and others on the right.
"Yes, my lord, I am willing to expand my territory for the Lord, and I will do so without any hesitation!"
Many generals stood up one after another and bowed to Mei Changge.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll give you a toast!"
Mei Changge couldn't help but smile, and even raised the wine glass on the desk to salute everyone in the hall.
"Honor your lord!"
Whether it was the scribe Guo Jia or the many generals headed by Xu Chu, they all raised the spirit wine in their hands and saluted Mei Changge.
This banquet can be regarded as a perfect conclusion, and some rules have been set for both inside and outside Qinglian territory.
Internally, taxation is customized, exercises are opened, and factories are popularized.
Externally, based on the Black Wall of Daxia, it expanded towards the no-man's land.
At the end of the banquet, the Shankui tribe in the no-man's land also officially launched an attack on the Youjiao tribe.
Kui Yuan was the general and led 30,000 Shankui tribe soldiers and 100,000 Shanlin tribe members towards Lingyou City of the Youjiao tribe.
Along the way, some weak races either surrendered or were massacred by Kui Yuan.
In addition to Kui Yuan, Kui Ba, Kui Li, and Kui Wu led 10,000 Shan Kui tribe soldiers and 50,000 Shan Lin tribe soldiers respectively, and headed towards Lingyou City in an encirclement manner.
The Youjiao tribe was already well prepared, and their base was basically near Linyou City. As for the other foreign tribes within their territory, they had already surrendered to them.
In Linyou City, the ancient building still has not changed at all.
Chains of iron chains extended from outside the building into it, and the bronze coffin showed no signs of being opened.
They were naturally prepared for the Shankui tribe's attack, and most of the Youjiao tribe had already gathered in Linyou City.
"You Sanniang, how far is the Shankui tribe's army from Linyou City?"
A strange sound came from the bronze coffin again, and he asked several figures outside the ancient building.
At this time, not only You Sanniang, but also several other Youjiao tribe members had gathered outside the ancient building, waiting for instructions.
"Lord Youzhu, the Shankui tribe's army is already fifty miles away from Linyou City, and other foreign tribes along the way have either surrendered or been massacred."
You Sanniang said respectfully to the bronze coffin in the ancient building.
"It seems that they are very confident. In that case, You Sanniang, just go and make them fall over."
"Do you think that if we can restrain the spirit bodies of our Youjiao tribe, we will have no means to resist?"
Youzhu's voice was full of weirdness, it sounded like a smile but not a smile, and it seemed like crying but not crying. If ordinary people heard Youzhu's voice, they would have already felt fear in their hearts.
Crunch~~
At this time, the cover of the bronze coffin suddenly opened, and then an object emitting black light flew out from it.
"This thing is called the Evil Heart Demon Flag. Use this thing to deal with the Shankui tribe!"
Strange sounds came from the coffin again, and the cover of the coffin had been closed again at some point.
"Yes, Master Youzhu!"
You Sanniang nodded, she had heard of this evil demon flag before.
And it is also a sixth-grade rare treasure. Although it is not a rare treasure in this world, its ability can kill many Shankui people.
"As for the others, based on Lingyou City, be prepared to destroy the Shankui tribe's army!"
"Yes, Master Youzhu!"
As many Youjiao clan members responded, the bronze coffins also became quiet, and all the Youjiao clan members naturally left the ancient building.
Youshan Niang, on the other hand, held the Evil Heart Demon Flag in her hand and began to gather the soldiers of the Youjiao Clan.
"Sanniang, are the Shankui tribe coming?"
Just when You Sanniang was about to take the soldiers of the Youjiao tribe to stop the Shankui tribe, a small figure found her.
"Young Master Luoluo!"
You Sanniang showed a hint of respect on her face, and then told her about the Shankui tribe.
"Sanniang, take me there, I'm so bored in Linyou City!"
Luoluo said to You Sanniang, if Mei Changge were here, he would definitely recognize this Youjiao clan member who looked like a girl.
It was the Youjiao Clan he met in the Star Gate World.
And it seems that in this Lingyou City, his identity is not simple.
"No, Master Youzhu does not allow the young master to go, and Linyou City needs the young master."
You Sanniang refused without thinking.
Then he took the soldiers of the Youjiao tribe directly and left Linyou City.
"Aside from their well-developed limbs, the mere Shankui people have nothing to fear!"
Luoluo looked at You Sanniang's leaving figure, a strange color flashed in her pale white eyes, and then her figure flashed and disappeared from the place.
The Shankui tribe is one of the most powerful races within a thousand miles. When they move, the people of the Thousand Hands tribe will naturally notice.
Especially 328.
At this time, 328 had already walked out of his base, and there were once again many members of the Thousand Hands clan around him.
"Two dogs fight, play off!"
After hearing the news that the Shankui tribe had taken action, 328 said that the Shankui tribe was indeed a race with well-developed limbs. How could a race that could gain a foothold in this area be easily eliminated?
What's more, their Thousand Hands Clan has been hiding behind the scenes.
A glimmer of light flashed in 328's eyes. You must know that it was he who threw the lotus flower into the Shankui Pond.
It can be said that the real mastermind behind the Shankui tribe's attack on the Youjiao tribe was him - 328.
"The corpses of the Youjiao Clan and the royal family of the Shankui Clan will all be the collection of my Thousand Hands Clan!"
A strange look flashed in 328's eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
Although his appearance is still human, this body is just a flesh bag created by him.
"As for the Zhengzhen territory of the Thousand Hands Clan, you can find it! Hahahaha!"
328 couldn't help but laugh wildly. No matter who came, they couldn't find the real territory of the Thousand Hands Clan.
"Let's fight, let's fight. It just so happens that I'm going to Daxia Black Wall. I'm very interested in human Taoist soldiers recently."
328 looked in the direction of Daxia Black Wall, and then led many members of the Thousand Hands Clan towards Daxia Black Wall.
At this time, 328 looked like an elegant artist, wearing a white robe. The skin of the whole body was pale, and the eyes were light green and light red.
These eyes are exactly the same as those of the Shankui tribe.
I don’t know how 328 created this meat nang.
"Human race! Daxia Black Wall! Hehehehe!?"
328 had a weird smile, and the expressions of the many Thousand Hands behind him were exactly the same as his, but they didn't make any sound.
