74 Chapter 74 ambition
One had to know.
Jiang Li was now the Lord of a city. He was no longer the leader of a small gang. He had a city and his own territory.
now.
If he wanted to protect his territory and interests, he needed the support of a powerful force.
Without an Army to protect the city, the Barbarian race and the demon race would be doomed if they were to attack. The city might even fall into their hands.
Furthermore …
Jiang Li’s ambition wasn’t only limited to Yongan city.
The second of the three great laws of the human race.
As long as Jiang Li could take down the cities of the monsters and barbarians, these cities and territories would belong to him. No one would be able to interfere.
At that time.
He would continue to expand the size and strength of his mechanical Army.
Jiang Li could even establish a ‘dynasty’,’ imperial dynasty’, or ‘imperial dynasty’.
There was another thing.
Creating a mechanical Army required a massive amount of resources and elixirs, and unlocking powerful troops also required a soul Tinder, which came from the souls of living creatures.
This required killing!
Attacking the monster race and barbarian race was a good choice.
They could also plunder resources.
That was all.
Only a powerful and rich country could afford to raise a powerful Army.
They used war to sustain war and plundered resources.
The most important thing was …
The green scale city and barren city had already formed an irreconcilable hatred with Jiang Li. They would fight sooner or later, so Jiang Li had already made up his mind.
That was to find a way to take down the green scale city and the barren city.
Before this.
They still needed to settle the ‘internal problems’.
” instructor hong, i’ll give you the authority to conduct a city-wide recruitment. anyone from the sirius gang who wants to join the city guards can join. ”
Jiang Li said.
“Milord, recruiting soldiers is a good thing. This subordinate is naturally willing to do it.”
yes. Hong Tianqi nodded and said, “but what about the salary?”
“Military pay.”
cough, cough. Jiang Li coughed. instructor Hong, you have to understand my difficulties. It’s hard to earn money these days. I’m tight on money too.
“City Lord, how do we recruit soldiers without pay?”
Hong Tianqi said.
how about this? last time, didn’t we get a lot of spoils from Qingshan Valley? I’m going to hand them all over to you. You can think of a way to sell them or distribute them to the new recruits. It’s up to you.
let’s go! Jiang Li waved his hand and said.
“But city Lord, this is too much.”
Hong Tianqi opened his mouth.
“Let’s do this for now. We’ll think of another way if it really doesn’t work.”
go. Jiang Li waved his hand. you can go now.
“Yes, city Lord.”
Hong Tianqi could only accept the order helplessly.
In reality.
Jiang Li asked Hong Tianqi to recruit soldiers as a temporary measure. He never really planned to use the city guards as his main force.
Recruiting soldiers was only a small matter.
Xx01, contact xx04 immediately and ask them about their progress in Pingding city.
Jiang Li waved his hand.
“Yes.”
yes. xx01 nodded and walked to Jiang Li. He raised his right hand and projected a light screen to contact xx04.
Intel mech xx04 greets my Lord.
On the screen.
Xx04 showed up and saluted Jiang Li.
“Yes.”
yes. Jiang Li nodded. how’s the situation? ” Have you sold out all the spirit herbs I asked you to bring? How many ordinary herbs had he bought? When will you be able to return?”
” my lord, the spirit herb market in pingding city is much larger than the one in yongan city. however, we’ve sold a large amount of spirit herbs in a short time, which has caused a huge impact on the spirit herb market in pingding city, causing the price of spirit herbs to drop. ”
Xx04 replied, ” moreover, we’re purchasing ordinary medicinal herbs in large quantities, so the price of ordinary medicinal herbs has increased.
“Of course, this is still within the acceptable range.”
it’s just that the impact of the spirit Herb Market has affected the Chamber of Commerce in Pingding city and caused them to lose a lot of money. Therefore, during this period of time, there have been people from the Chamber of Commerce who have come to cause trouble.
“It’s just a mere Chamber of Commerce, there’s no need to pay attention to it.”
I only want herbs, ” Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
“Chief sovereign, we can’t just ignore him.”
Xx04 said, ” because most of the herbs are in the hands of these Chambers of Commerce. If they don’t sell them or insist on raising the price, it’s not a good thing for us.
“……”
Jiang Li frowned. tell Hua Tian to buy as many herbs as he can and send them back to Yongan city immediately.
“Tell him to ask Dong Lin for help. Let’s see if he can find a way to solve the Chamber of Commerce’s problem,”
“Yes, chief sovereign.”
“yes.” xx04 nodded.
Buzzzzzz!
The screen went out.
jiang li told xx01 to turn off the communication.
At night.
Jiang Donglai’s residence.
Shua!
Jiang Donglai tied the letter to the pigeon’s leg and released it. The White Pigeon flew into the sky and disappeared into the night.
He flew toward the Black Dragon County.
Jiang Li, Jiang Li, you asked for it.
Jiang Donglai sneered.
The next day.
let’s go. Jiang Li officially moved into the city Lord’s mansion and held a ceremony. He informed the whole city and all the people came to watch.
From today on, Jiang Li was officially the Lord of Yongan city.
At the same time.
jiang li changed the name of yongan city to great xia city.
On the same day.
At the city gate, the words ‘Yongan city’ were removed and replaced with ‘great Xia city’, which was very eye-catching.
At the county office.
Han Liqi also officially took office on this day. On the day he took office, he began to recruit ‘bailiffs’ and ‘bailiffs’ from the entire city, and the treatment he received was quite good.
The monthly allowance was very high.
One had to know.
There were only so many young people in the great Xia city, and their numbers were limited.
The city guards and the county government were recruiting at the same time. Compared to the city guards ‘poor pay, the treatment of the county government was even more attractive.
so,
As a result, Hong Tianqi didn’t recruit many new soldiers in the end. However, the county government quickly recruited all the people and began to operate normally.
These things.
han Liqi. Jiang Li knew that, but he didn’t care. After all, han Liqi represented the Qian dynasty. He had to give han Liqi some face. If han Liqi wanted to recruit, he could just let him.
In the end.
Hong Tianqi’s city guards only had 2000 people.
Three days later.
There was good news from Hua Tian. They had completed the first transaction and sent people to escort the first batch of medicinal herbs from Pingding city back to Yongan city.
“Alright,” he said.
jiang li was overjoyed when he got the news.
In the afternoon.
City Lord’s mansion.
Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz!
Jiang Li was practicing martial arts. He used the Thunder Qi skill to absorb the energy of the blood refinement bead in his right hand. He refined it and merged it with his body to refine his internal force.
These days.
As long as Jiang Li had time, he would cultivate and strengthen his internal force. His internal force storage was almost enough to open the first meridian.
“You can’t go in.”
Wang Chao and ma Han’s anxious voices came from outside.
BOOM!
jiang li looked up and saw the door of his yard being kicked open. several people rushed in. they looked around and immediately fixed their eyes on jiang li.
how dare you, Jiang Li? how dare you use the evil ‘blood refinement bead’ to cultivate? ”
Among these people.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He had a strong body and a fierce aura. He glared at them and pulled out the long knife at his waist with a clang.
The tip of the knife was pointed at Jiang Li.
