Chapter 353 Cutting Troops: "The subordinates swear to complete the task!"
”The six old men knelt on one knee, their voices sonorous and powerful, forming a huge contrast with the old appearance.Chen Gu glanced at the six people lightly, and then moved his gaze to the rest of the people in the Ice Palace: "In addition to the three of Bai Ling, the rest of the demon beast class can also worship under my door and temporarily become registered disciples, are you willing?"
”His gaze fell on the group of big demons behind Bai Ling and the three of them.Hearing this, all the big demons couldn't help but get excited, and knelt on the ground one after another: "The juniors are willing!"
”Although the status of registered disciples is far less than that of official disciples, no matter what, they are all disciples of the demon king, and with this level of identity, no matter where they go, no one dares to underestimate them.Sensei said that these ordinary Danxuan Realm demons were those innate divine beasts, and I am afraid they were all eager to become the registered disciples of Chen Gu!
Now that such a good thing has befallen them, how will they not want it?
They don't ask for any extravagant gifts, becoming a registered disciple of Chen Gu is the best gift!
After a while, Chen Gu drifted away, and everyone in the Ice Hall began to disperse one after another."
Senior sister, have a good trip."
As soon as he entered the Chengu Sect, the Red Dragon King adapted to his new identity."
Have a nice trip."
The Blue Winged Eagle King said calmly.After saying goodbye to the Red Dragon King, the Blue Wing Eagle King, and the Great Demons such as Tianqi, Bai Ling stopped staying and set off directly with the six old men.Regarding the sale of tickets to the Abyss, Bai Ling had discussed with Tianqi and other big demons yesterday, and Tianqi was responsible for everything.......The piercing sound of breaking wind sounded in the sky, and the figures of Bai Ling and the six old men flew towards the west at a high speed.The Red Dragon King and the others returned to the Firmament Academy in a regular manner, and after that, the Green Wing Eagle King and others practiced quietly in the academy, and the Red Dragon King quickly came to the foot of the barren mountain to preside over the construction of the new city.In the newly built City Lord's Mansion in the new city, Qin Lian slowly put down the brush, immediately rubbed his temples, and exhaled a long breath: "It's finally done!"
”On the desk, on a huge piece of rice paper, four big characters were written in the center of the first row: "Announcement of settlement." ”After a few days of thinking and consideration, he finally formulated the details of the settlement rules in a completely standardized manner, and the content of the main framework was completely formulated in accordance with Zhang Yu's intentions, and his job was to refine and standardize the settlement conditions to ensure that each standard was clear and clear, and there were no loopholes.Of course, this settlement announcement will not take Qin Lian a few days, the reason why he has only completed the settlement announcement now is because he has processed all the household registration landing applications that have been backlogged for many days in the past few days, as long as the cultivation has reached the vortex realm, all of them will be approved, and those who have not reached the vortex realm will be rejected, it seems that the work is very simple, but in fact it is very boring."
Someone."
Qin Lian stood up, stretched his muscles slightly, and immediately shouted outside the house.Soon, a middle-aged man in armor walked in and said respectfully, "My lord!
”Qin Lian pointed to the rice paper on the desk and said, "Pass my order to have people copy a hundred copies of this settlement announcement, and then post it everywhere to ensure that everyone can see it." ”"Yes!"
The middle-aged man replied respectfully, then carefully rolled up the rice paper and walked out of the room.After a while, the middle-aged man walked into the room again, bent down and said, "My lord, my subordinates have already conveyed your order, and it will be done in about an hour." ”Qin Lian nodded and asked, "How is the new city being built?"
”In the past few days, he has been busy dealing with the matter of settling down, and he has not had time to pay attention to the situation outside, and now that he has solved the matter of settling down, he naturally needs to care about the construction of the new city, after all, this is the first task assigned to him by the dean, no matter what, he must complete this task well.The middle-aged man replied: "The foundation has been laid, the construction of public facilities such as squares and streets has been completed, and the construction of private houses is currently .......""
Any questions?"
Qin Lian asked suspiciously."
My lord, the construction of the deserted city has cost so much money, and it is completely maintained by the treasury funds, I am worried that if this continues, the deserted city will not be completed, and the treasury funds will be exhausted."
The middle-aged man proposed: "These houses were built for the people, why don't they charge a certain fee?"
Moreover, wouldn't the materials used to build a private house be a little better?
I remember that when the castle lord's mansion in the old town of the deserted city was built, such good materials were not used......
"If you can lower the standard of materials, you can save a lot of money."
Qin Lian still trusts this old subordinate who has been with him for more than 20 years, and he also understands that the other party is sincerely thinking about himself, so he does not blame the other party."
It is the dean's decision to let the people of the original deserted city settle in the new deserted city for free."
Qin Lian shook his head and explained, "Because the former deserted city will be divided into the Firmament Academy, the dean is unwilling to take advantage of the people, so he has made this decision. ”The middle-aged man was stunned, and when he heard that this was the dean's decision, he immediately stopped being entangled."
What about the material?"
The middle-aged man said: "The people's requirements for houses are not high, as long as there is a place to live, they don't need to use such good materials, right?"
”When it came to this question, Qin Lian was also a little helpless, and he smiled bitterly: "At first, I also persuaded the Red Dragon King, but he insisted on using the best materials to build the most beautiful and sturdy city, there is no room for negotiation, you say, what can I do?"
”If it was someone else, Qin Lian could rely on his identity as the city lord and the dean's support behind his back, and forcibly ask the other party to modify the design and change the materials, but the Red Dragon King was not only a great demon of the Spirit Vortex Realm, but also a student of the Demon Beast Class of the Firmament Academy, compared to him, the city lord, the Red Dragon King had a higher status in the Firmament Academy, and if he really wanted to make trouble, he would definitely not be able to make trouble with the Red Dragon King.Since he can't make trouble, he simply doesn't care, and the Red Dragon King can toss as much as he likes."
If this is the case, when the treasury funds are used up, won't the construction of the deserted city be abandoned halfway?"
The middle-aged man frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "If the dean blames it, the situation of the adults will not be good." ”"There's nothing to worry about."
Qin Lian suddenly smiled.The middle-aged man looked at Qin Lian suspiciously.Qin Lian said: "The Red Dragon King promised me that if the treasury funds are not enough, he will make up the expenses privately until the construction of the deserted city is completed. ”"Him?"
The middle-aged man was suspicious: "He has so many wasted coins?"
”Qin Lian laughed: "Luo Song, you are underestimating the Red Dragon King's financial resources!"
Looking at the entire Zhou Dynasty, no one is richer than him!
To be exact, the Thousand-Faced Demon Fox, the Red Dragon King, and the Blue Winged Eagle King, these three abyss overlords, are all rich lords!
Even those chambers of commerce, and even the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, were far less rich than them!
To build a city, even if it is a large city, the cost is only a drop in the bucket for them. ”Luo Song was frightened, his eyes widened, and he said incredulously: "They are so rich?
”"The whole abyss is theirs, can they not have money?"
Qin Lian smiled dumbly, "Not to mention anything else, the Abyss tickets they sell every day are enough to build a small city." ”Many of the commercial taxes in Tongzhou Mansion were contributed by Bai Ling, the Red Dragon King, and the Green Wing Eagle King, if it weren't for this, Qin Lian wouldn't have a clear understanding of the financial resources of the three of them.Qin Lian came back to his senses, patted Luo Song on the shoulder, and said, "In terms of funds, you don't have to worry, we just need to carefully supervise those carpenters and craftsmen to prevent them from stealing and tricking, and ensure that the deserted city is completed normally."
After all, the dean has been staring, and we can't afford to be sloppy for a moment. ”Luo Song nodded."
By the way, how did I do the things I told you before?"
Qin Lian asked."

You mean......
Rectify the affairs of the government soldiers?
”"Yes.""
According to your request, none of the soldiers in the deserted city have been moved for the time being, and all of the soldiers in the foreign government have been dismissed, and the troublemakers have also been driven out, and there are only three hundred and nineteen soldiers left in the foreign government, including one hundred and twelve in Tongzhou City, sixty-three in Jinhua City, forty-five in Zizhou City, thirty-six in Qingyang Ancient City, twenty-one in Yancheng, eighteen in Zhanshui City, sixteen in Wushan City, eight in Wushuang City, and not a single soldier is left in the remaining cities."
Qin Lian was stunned and said in surprise: "There is no one left?"
”Luo Song smiled bitterly: "Those cities are worse than our deserted cities, and the strongest soldier has only started the sixfold, and even those city lords only have the seventh and eighth levels." ”The deserted city is a relatively backward and weak city in Tongzhou Prefecture, but Luo Song didn't expect that there would be a city that was more backward and weaker than the deserted city."
I thought that my Deserted City Lord was enough to make a nest, but I couldn't think of ......it," Qin Lian shook his head and sighed.Luo Song hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, wouldn't it be too impulsive for us to lay off so many soldiers at once?"
There are only a few hundred people, and there is no way to maintain order in Tongzhou Mansion, and the remaining hundreds of people are also panicked, and they don't know when they will take the initiative to retire......
"Tongzhou Mansion originally had 80,000 government soldiers, but in just a few days, it was cut to just over 300 people.80,000 vs. 300, such a huge difference in the number of people, it is really unimaginable!
Fortunately, the three hundred people who stayed behind were all elites above the seventh level of Qixuan, and they belonged to the real backbone of the government soldiers!
Most of the soldiers who were eliminated were just indiscriminate, and no matter what their character was, they couldn't meet Qin Lian's requirements with their strength alone.Qin Lian's eyes widened: "They dare!"
”If you voluntarily discharge from the army before the specified number of years, you will be regarded as a deserter, and such a person will be ridiculed wherever she goes.Luo Song didn't argue anything, this possibility is indeed very small, it's just that more than 300 soldiers are indeed unable to maintain order in Tongzhou Mansion, there are several cities, and even only the city lord is left with a bare pole commander, which looks very embarrassing, if it continues like this, maybe the soldiers will not retire, but the city lord ran away first."
Soldiers are expensive but not too expensive."
Qin Lian said lightly: "You let them stabilize first, and in three days at most, there will be new soldiers to report to the major cities." ”Luo Song worried: "Three days, will it be too short?"
At this time, not many soldiers can be recruited at all.What's more, the city lord, your requirements for soldiers are still so high......
"People in this world generally have the idea of "good men are not soldiers, good iron is not nailed", unless they really can't get along, few people are willing to take the initiative to become soldiers.No matter where it is, recruiting soldiers is an extremely difficult job to carry out, some cities, even less than a hundred soldiers a year, in response to this situation, the requirements for recruiting soldiers in each city are very low, as long as the cultivation of true power is enough, for other aspects, there are almost no requirements, because there is no choice.Therefore, Luo Song's concern is not unreasonable."
Haven't you read the settlement announcement I just gave you?"
Qin Lian smiled mysteriously."
Well, I haven't had time to see it yet."
Luo Song said honestly."
Hehe, when you read it, you will understand why I am so confident."
Qin Lian smiled slightly, "I'm not worried about recruiting soldiers at all, on the contrary, I'm not afraid of recruiting dissatisfaction, I'm afraid that there are too many people, and it's not easy to choose." ”
