"Well, such a talent should be rewarded. What kind of reward do you love?" Emperor Zhou asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it is very appropriate to confer Li Xuance the Marquis of Jizhou. Jizhou is ruled by the King of Liaodong. If Li Xuance wants to live up to his name, he can only fight against the King of Liaodong. Why not use such a good spear?" Xuan Huang Commander Liu Qian stood up at this time and said.

"Well, it makes sense, what do you Aiqing think?" Zhou Huang nodded slightly, then looked around and asked.

"This~"

The people in the court are all good people. At this time, if you can't see what Emperor Zhou means, then you will be in vain.

His Majesty sang the oboe with Zhuge Liuhuo at the beginning, and now he expressed his thoughts through Liu Qian's mouth, and now he asked them what they could say.

object?Your Majesty must have a way to carry it out.

As for whether you think too much?

Liu Qian usually doesn't speak. He is the emperor's minion. Since he has spoken, if he doesn't have the emperor's order, they won't believe it if he is killed.

Why did His Majesty ask Liu Qian to come out and say it? Obviously, it is to tell everyone that this is what I mean. Who agrees and who opposes?

Aren't you afraid to wear small shoes in the future?

Most importantly, none of your business hangs high.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"Okay, that's it. Which Aiqing is willing to read the imperial decree?" Zhou Huang asked again.

Everyone quickly looked at Liu Qian, but it was a pity that his old god was still there, so he didn't come out to speak, but Zhuge Liuhuo stood up and said:

"The minister is willing to go."

"Okay, Zhuge Aiqing will work hard."

"Disperse."

Li Xuance couldn't have imagined that such a good thing would happen to him even if he was killed. He was listening to everyone in the Sheriff's Mansion to report on the results of Fengling County's reforms during this period.

"Master County Governor, after more than a year of bandit suppression, the entire county of Fengling County has now completely eliminated the banditry. A total of more than 170 bandits have been wiped out, more than [-] bandits have been wiped out, and more than [-] million bandits have been captured. Absorbed more than [-] bandits who had reached the Taichu state and above into the Fengling Legion, and the remaining bandits have all been handed over to Tiandu Village." He Miao reported earnestly.

"What about the family?"

"There are 73 aristocratic families who participated in the rebellion, or had a very bad reputation, and they have all been wiped out. The main culprit was executed in public, and the accomplices and bandits formed a prisoner army, with a total of 22 people. Currently, these people are building Fengling County. Some of the remaining members were absorbed into the army, and the rest were demoted to civilians."

"How about the casualties of our army?" Li Xuance asked with concern.

"Our army sacrificed more than [-] people and injured more than [-] people. Most of them were caused in the battle with the family. All the injured soldiers have been healed and listed."

"How is the army training?"

"After this period of training in battle, the Fengling Legion has been completely reborn and has become a powerful army."

"We selected the best among the best and selected their cultivation bases. The most talented people formed the Fengling Field Army, which has 2.5 people. The soldiers with the lowest cultivation bases are all in the early stage of the Taishi Realm (the early stage of the fourth stage). This army is absolutely The mobile force is stationed next to Fengling City."

"In addition, a Fengling garrison army of 15 people has also been formed. Through the method of fighting to support the battle, the soldiers of the current garrison army have the lowest cultivation level and are also in the early stage of the Taiyi Realm (the early stage of the second stage). The garrison troops are stationed in Four places, guarded in Huangquan County bordering Jizhou, with 2 people, Chishui County bordering Haizhou, with 2 people, and Xinghua County bordering Yongzhou, with 3 people, and Jinzhou Tiandaozong. There are 8 people in Tushan County." He Miao explained the distribution of the army like a few treasures.

There are very few people in the territory bordering the Liaodong King's forces. It's not that it's safe, but it's the most dangerous place. It's just that there is a huge army there.

"Well, very good, it's been a hard time." Li Xuance said.

"Golden Eagle, how is your Tiandu Village going?" Li Xuance asked.

That's right, Tiandu Mountain is located in Huangquan County, there is Tiandu Shanzhai, and the guards here are actually very strong.

"Reporting to my lord, according to the reorganization plan you provided, the reorganization work has been basically completed. We have selected a group of people with the best cultivation and qualifications to form a core army, the Tiandu First Army, with 8 people. Because all of them are above the early stages of the Taiyi Realm."

"In addition, there is the Tiandu Second Legion, which has 30 people, and its cultivation is above the Heaven Rank. The Tiandu Third Army has 50 people, and its cultivation is above the Xuan Rank."

"There is also the Tiandu Fourth Legion, which is mainly composed of auxiliary soldiers. Most of them are ordinary members of the yellow rank, and they have the largest number of people, with a total of 115 million people." Jin Diaohui reported.

To sum up, apart from the three armies who are still training in the cave, Li Xuance has a total of three armies in the Xuanhuang Continent, with a total of more than 242.5 million people.

They are Fengling Legion (including Field Army and Garrison Army), Tiandu Legion (First to Fourth Legion), Prisoner Legion (can be used as cannon fodder when necessary, and can be used as construction corps in normal times).

Chapter 490 Zhuge Flowing Fire Comes to Fengling County

You know, the people here are all saints, there is no such thing as exhaustion, and they don't need to eat. Where can I find such a good labor force.

"very good."

"My lord, although there are no more bandits in the territory, we have seized a lot of supplies in addition to the exterminated families this time, but the army is too large, especially in the Tiandu village. Not enough." He Miao worried.

"Hmm." Li Xuance frowned slightly, nodded slightly, thought for a while and said, "This is indeed a problem."

"How long can we hold on now?" Li Xuance asked.

Although the army can't starve to death without eating, the necessary military salary must be required, and people can't let others generate electricity for love.

"Our Fengling Legion is better, and we can last for two to three years." He Miao said.

"Although the military salary of our Tiandu Legion is much less, but there are too many people, the consumption is very high, and it can only last for half a year at most."

"Military expenditure is nothing more than increasing income and reducing expenditure. Go back and have a look and see what unnecessary consumption can be cut as much as possible. As for increasing income, my idea is to cultivate fields, open medicine gardens, mines, etc." Li Xuance thought for a while and said .

He is now the absolute emperor of Fengling County, so the mines and land here are naturally his. The Xuanhuang Continent is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many unowned territories.

"If it's not enough, I'll allocate money."

"My lord is wise."

"Qin Yun, how is the development of Baihualou?" Li Xuance looked at Qin Yun and asked.

"Since the lord became the sheriff of Fengling County, our development in Fengling County has been unimpeded. At present, we have built the Baihua Building of the headquarters in the county city. In addition, with the financial resources provided by the lord to realize the continuous flow of Tiandaoyuanye, we have already established a lot of money in various places. Counties and cities have established branches, and the lord encourages business. At present, there are more and more rich people in Fengling County, and they are more and more willing to go to Baihualou for consumption. I estimate that it will take a year and a half at most. The industry can recover all costs and turn losses into profits." Qin Yun said.

"As for Haizhou, our Baihua Building has not given up, but the development is not so smooth, and one person cannot make ends meet."

In addition to the previous business, Qin Yun's Baihualou also has the biggest business, which is to buy Lingbao fragments and sell Tiandaoyuanye, making a lot of money.

A steady stream of fragments gathered in Li Xuance's hands. He now has more than 120 million drops of middle-grade holy source liquid and more than 1500 million drops of low-grade holy source liquid.

Under such circumstances, Baihualou has developed to such a scale.

If it weren't for the high cost of building Baihua Building, he would have more holy source liquid.

"Very well, Haizhou, Fengling County is not the end point. Your goal is to reach all the cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I need you to use Baihualou to build the most powerful intelligence network and sales network." Li Xuance continued to add.

"With the support of the lord's massive source of heavenly source liquid, we will have endless financial resources. I believe that the lord's goal will be achieved. It's only a matter of time." Qin Yun said confidently.

"Ah."

"Huang Haiming, how is the situation in Fengling County going?" Li Xuance asked.

He basically practiced in closed doors, and occasionally came out to deal with government affairs, mainly to listen to reports and keep abreast of the situation below. Huang Haiming was still the actual county guard, handling the affairs of the whole county.

"Reporting to my lord, thanks to the good environment in the territory, countless people have migrated to our Fengling County. The population has exceeded 6.5 million and is still increasing rapidly."

"In addition, because the lord is vigorously developing industry and commerce, the business environment in the territory is very good. Businessmen from all over the country have gathered here. Compared with two years ago, the current fiscal revenue has quadrupled, which is very sufficient." Huang Haiming said.

"Very well, it just so happens that the army needs more military expenses. You can allocate it according to the situation at that time, and the remaining money will be used to improve the infrastructure of Fengling County, and to purchase more cultivation resources from outside to upgrade the entire county. overall strength." Li Xuance ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, what's the progress of the purchase of desolate beasts and desolate cores above the tenth rank?" Li Xuance asked with concern.

He is now in the late stage of the realm of all things, and he is not far from the peak, but if he cultivates by himself, it will take countless years to reach the peak, but it will be different if he has enough barren cores.

"My lord, this kind of high-level desolate core is very difficult. I got three tenth-level desolate cores from other places through various caravans." Huang Haiming said, and handed the three desolate cores to Li Xuance.

"My lord, this time we suppressed bandits and exterminated the aristocratic family, we also obtained two tenth-level desolation cores, and one eleventh-level desolation core from ancient times." He Miao also handed the three desolation cores to Li Xuance.

"My lord, our Baihualou obtained seven desolate cores of the tenth rank and one desolate core of the eleventh rank from the aristocratic family and some rogue cultivators through the source liquid of the Dao of Heaven." Qin Yun said, and exchanged the eight desolate cores. The check was passed to Li Xuance.

"Hahaha, well, with these barren cores, my cultivation will be able to go a step further. By then, there will be no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty who will be my opponent. You have done a good job." Li Xuance praised.

"It is an honor for me to serve my lord."

"I wish my lord great success and be invincible in the world." The golden eagle flattered him.

"You still speak nicely, hahaha." Li Xuance was really happy this time, so he didn't mind the other party's flattery.

Having obtained these 2 12th-order barren cores and [-] [-]th-tier barren cores, Li Xuance's confidence in breaking through to the peak of the realm of all things has greatly increased.

Once you reach the peak and have enough holy source liquid, you will not be far from the peak.

While they were reporting their work, a servant came in to report.

"Report, the envoys from the Holy Capital have come, saying that they want to read the imperial decree."

"Oh? Interesting, that person from the Holy Capital still thinks of us?" Li Xuance's words were a little disrespectful, but it doesn't matter that they are all from our own.

"Did anyone say who the imperial decree is for?" Li Xuance asked.

"Say it, it's for the lord."

"Hehe, let's go, let's go meet this envoy and see what that person from the Holy Capital wants to do?" Li Xuance called out to the crowd.

Council Hall of the Sheriff's Mansion.

A middle-aged man in an official robe, holding an imperial decree, walked in with two powerful men whose strength had reached the world level.

Name: Zhuge Liuhuo

Cultivation level: the pinnacle of the realm of all things

Position: Landlord of the Hero Building, concurrently Protector of the State

Evaluation: Loyalists loyal to the royal family are very optimistic about you and want to pull you into the royal camp.

"It's him?" Li Xuance was secretly shocked.

Unexpectedly, a big man at the level of a state-level official came to announce the decree.

In other words, if I destroyed the rule stone tower, it would be tantamount to slapping Hero Tower in the face, and slapped him in the face. I didn't expect that he would actually want to win me over.

Chapter 491

"I've seen the Duke Protector, but I didn't expect the Duke to read the imperial decree in person. I'm really flattered." Li Xuance directly pointed out the identity of the other party.

"What? Lord Protector?" Others in the chamber were shocked.

Except for Huang Haiming, no one else has seen such a big shot. Even between Huang Haiming and Li Xuance, such a big shot would not look him in the eye.

"I just want to see the newly promoted talents of the Holy Dynasty." Zhuge Liuhuo was not surprised that his identity was exposed.

After all, there are many people who know him. Although this Li Xuance has never seen him, he must have heard of him, and even seeing his image is normal.

"My lord saw it, what do you think?" Li Xuance said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Heroic and tall, the future pillar of the Holy Dynasty." Zhuge Liuhuo spoke highly of it.

It's a pity that he was wrong. Li Xuance is the man who wants to rule the entire Xuanhuang Continent, and he is destined to stand against him in the future.

"I'll read the imperial decree first, and greet later." Zhuge Liuhuo said.

"it is good."

"By the imperial edict of the Great Zhou Emperor, it is said: Li Xuance, a talented man of the Holy Dynasty, has been in power in Fengling County for less than two years, and has suppressed countless bandits. Haiyan and Heqing, the people all sing their praises. In addition, he will not bend the power and kill the rebellious minister Gongsun Invincible Eucharist He made great contributions to helping the imperial court seize the land of the five counties of Jizhou, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Jibei, and the 16 counties of Jibei, plus Fengling County, are here."

Fengling County is already his own, and you want to reward him?

What is Ji Beihou, apart from being justified and giving him a real noble status, there is no real benefit.

As for the 16 counties in Jibei, they are still in the hands of the King of Liaodong.

This is using someone else's territory to reward yourself, don't feel bad.

What a way to drive away the wolves and tigers, Li Xuance is not stupid, he immediately heard the emperor's thoughts.

The entire imperial decree is full of praise and rewards, but it is all empty, without any substantive good things.

So stingy.

"Jibeihou, accept the order." Zhuge Liuhuo stared at Li Xuance and said.

"I accept the order." After hesitating for a while, Li Xuance still chose to accept the order, and even changed his address.

First of all, it is very important to be honest.

Secondly, his goal was originally the entire Xuanhuang Continent. Since his master was famous, he happened to take down the 16 counties of Jibei first, so as to accumulate more power, it would be easier to handle things later.

In the end, the initiative is yours. If you want to make a move, you can make a move. If you don't want to make a move, you don't have to fight the King of Liaodong for the time being.

"Your Majesty values ​​you very much. He tried his best to reject all opinions in the court and conferred you as Marquis of Jibei. Don't disappoint His Majesty's admiration for you." Zhuge Liuhuo said earnestly.

"That's natural, I am willing to die for His Majesty." Li Xuance responded.
