It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 629

Xu Shenji's words strengthened Cheng Dalei's mind. Heshen's words may not be completely inaudible, whether he simply wants to survive in this troubled world or compete with the princes for the world, he needs enough strength.

At present, Toad City has reached its peak, and there is no more room for development. It needs to open another base to support its subsequent development.

The current situation of Shuofang City is indeed very bad, but if it is properly rectified, it may not be able to make it prosperous again.

After Cheng Dalei firmly established the idea of ​​developing Shuofang City instead of abandoning it, an image of a city in his mind was lit up, and Cheng Dalei could now view the information of Shuofang City.

City: Shuofang City (ruined primary city)

Population: 5000

Skills: Blessing of the Gods, Architectural Proficiency, Rumor

Cheng Dalei read the system information word by word, and found that after the siege mode was turned on, all the cities had shared the same set of skills. That is to say, the skills from a city can be used in all places, unlike the previous cottages, where each cottage has individual skills.

Duh, Shuofang City is less than 10,000. Please expand the population to 10,000 as soon as possible. After completing the task, you can get system rewards.

At this time, Cheng Dalei received a system task, asking him to expand the population as soon as possible.

Because of the mastery of construction, the repair of the city is not too difficult. The biggest difficulty is still people, or rather, the food to feed these populations.

If tens of thousands of refugees came here, it would be tens of thousands of mouths begging Cheng Dalei for food, and what kind of wealth Cheng Dalei had saved could not be consumed by them.

This is the problem that Cheng Dalei is eager to solve.

By the evening of the second day, He Shen had already arrived with the grain transport team. Given the distance between Toad City and Shuofang City, it would take about a day and a night to go back and forth. He Shen can come so quickly, probably because Liu Facai just handed over the news, and he was ready to set off.

Heshen's work efficiency is extremely high, which Cheng Dalei also has to admire.

Cheng Dalei opened a porridge pot on the street, and first gave the people who stayed in Shuofang City a full bowl of rice to eat. These people have not had a meal for an unknown time. When they heard that someone was leaving the porridge, they immediately got up and moved, and came with a pot and a bowl. If it wasn't for the soldiers to maintain order, they would have wanted to kick the porridge pot.

Cheng Dalei was the first time he saw the people under his rule. When he entered the city yesterday, no one paid any attention to him.

He wanted to say that if everyone worked hard together and a good day was just around the corner, it was estimated that no one would pay attention to him.

Cheng Dalei went directly to the main procedure, and the soldiers kept order and housed porridge, and registered these people. Song Bokang's original account book was useless at all. Cheng Dalei could not wait to burn it down, and Cheng Dalei had to start from scratch.

Cheng Dalei also roughly identified the main components of these people. Most of them were lazy people, and there were some ruthless people who were brave and aggressive. The rest were old and weak women and children who couldn't walk.

Seeing that the porridge work at the gate of the city lord's mansion was on track, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji and Heshen entered the mansion. He still had something to discuss with Heshen.

He Shen was very excited, which could be seen from the expression on his face. He may not have seen the difficulties of Shuofang City, but he is very happy to be able to expand the site. Cheng Dalei was finally no longer in Toad City, and took the first step to dominate the world.

The big boss, I have seen it just now. At present, the population of Shuofang City is about 5,000 people. For them, those who are willing to leave can let them leave, and we will not ignore those who are willing to stay.

How to arrange for those who stay?

It's better for the old and weak, women and children to move them to Toad City. After all, reputation matters, and we can't just watch them die before our eyes. We take in the remaining men who are willing to join the army, and farm outside the city for those who don't want to join the army. Some rapists and criminals must not be tolerated, and they should use the power of thunder to establish a military power.

He Shen talked eloquently and made arrangements for these 5,000 people.

Cheng Dalei nodded lightly: The main difficulty at present is that there is no one. Is there any way for you to gather the popularity of Shuofang City?

He Shen frowned and thought for a moment, then said, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Even Heshen said it was difficult to handle, it seems that this is indeed not easy. He Shen didn't say something directly. In fact, the reason why this matter is so difficult has something to do with Cheng Dalei.

Cheng Dalei has a terrible reputation. He offended many people in Bingzhou's massacre and gained a reputation for being brutal and easy to kill. As for the matter of Langya City in the East China Sea, there are rumors in all corners of the world that Cheng Dalei set fire to the library, thus offending the scholars all over the world.

Now Shuofang City needs to recruit talents, but if the banner of King Cheng Dalei toad is released, it is estimated that there will be no gain except for a piece of spit star.

Cheng Dalei held his chin in his hand and sighed: People's hearts are a good thing.

No wonder the population of Toad City did not expand much, it turned out to be the reason for this. Why did Li Xingzai quickly recruit troops in Xuzhou, and a large number of people gathered. The family is the serious King of Xiaoyao, the son of Emperor Ming, and there are rumors that Emperor Ming originally intended to be passed down to him. No matter whether the rumors are true or false, there are always people who believe them, and no one feels ashamed to do things for him.

And other princes and kings are also sealed by the court, so the banner is also useful. But Cheng Dalei was a thief in his debut. In order not to embarrass the ancestors, people generally would not take refuge in a thief.

Cheng Dalei could have used his fear value to summon a group of people, regardless of the quality, only the quantity. But fear value is a good thing, and Cheng Dalei felt that it should not be wasted on this matter.

When you think about attracting people, you can always think of a way. Cheng Dalei said: I am embarrassed that if there are people, what will we support. If we have food at home, we will not panic. The food and grass in Toad City cannot be used. moveable.

In my opinion, it's not too difficult to handle. He Shen said: We can't grow food, so we can grab it.

Cheng Dalei was startled, but he forgot his old line of work. I was a bandit when I debuted, and I could grab it from other places without food.

But is there something we can grab?

Liangzhou City?

We just grabbed a city from someone else, so it's not appropriate to grab someone else's. Besides, Zhao Zilong is still in Song Bokang's army, so it's inconvenient at the moment.

Bliss?

Bai Li Sheng won't survive for a few days. His food and grass are all supplied by the imperial court, and he is currently poorer than us.

If these two places don't work, then the only way to do it is to go to Guan Nei.

Toad City is located at the northwestern border of the empire, while Shuofang City borders Jingzhou Yizhou, which is also relatively poor and mostly barbarians. On the other hand, Jingzhou is a land of abundance. If you want to do it, Jingzhou is a good choice.
