Chapter 74: Going to Governance and Begging]
Rather than giving the position of deputy city lord to Li Qingjie, it is better to just giving the precious cultivation quota to Li Qingjie.
As the largest clan of Heigu City, Li Qingxiao naturally could not let go of such a large area as Heigu City that could make his own decisions. The specific governance must be planned by him.
Although there are only two great monks in the early stage of foundation building in the clan, there are no other foundation building families in the Black Valley City after the battle.
Only the only one left Zhang family is Zhang Bo. Although he has the seventh level of foundation building, his life span is not much. After all, Zhang family is still a sinful clan. Compared with the Li family, who stood in front of the Zijian Pavilion early before the war, his status is far different.
Now that the three-point land in Heigu City is the only one who is afraid of, Li, his immediate superior, Zijian Pavilion, can be said to be below one person and above ten thousand people.
In other words, as long as you don’t do it too much here, it will attract suspicion from Zijian Pavilion, Li Qingxiao will do whatever he wants.
In the northeast corner of Heigu City, the former Zheng clan land, is now the Purple Sword Pavilion, and is given to the Li clan.
As soon as they approached, the plaque on the gate of the Zheng clan, which was as high as seven or eight meters high, had already been replaced with the words "Li". Everyone was a little excited when they saw it. Chen Xiantang was almost 150 years old after all, and it was better to be knowledgeable.
The innate realm followers who were accompanying the clan had already entered in advance to prepare some things, and everyone did not stop and went in directly.
Although the Zheng family is ranked alongside the three major monks in Heigu City, just judging from the number of great monks in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Zheng family undoubtedly has to surpass the other two families. And they have been operating in Heigu City for many years, so it is not an exaggeration to call the Zheng family a luxurious word.
The area alone accounts for about one-tenth of the Black Valley City, which has a population of more than 400,000, and is about one mile square. The garden landscape in the inner lilies is unique, with countless strange flowers and flowers. Although there is no high-grade spiritual medicine, it is at least pleasing to the eye.
The original servants of the servile servants have been dismissed with the fall of the Zheng clan. In such a large manor, only more than 50 people brought by Li Qingxiao, it seems a bit deserted.
However, those innate entourages all looked a little excited. They were originally following the Li family in Yulin Town, although ordinary gold and silver were indispensable, Yulin Town was just a small town under the jurisdiction of Heigu City. Now that Li family has transformed into the first family in Heigu City, their status has naturally risen.
Although these innate mortals have no spiritual roots and have no hope of entering the path of immortality, they are also geniuses selected from one of the mortals. The reason why they follow Li wholeheartedly is that, of course, some spiritual treasures that the monks inadvertently revealed in the cultivator family can benefit them endlessly; secondly, they have never hoped that their descendants will have spiritual roots, and hope that the master family will give preferential treatment for their loyalty.
Li Qingxiao brought more than 40 people this time, all of whom were in the innate realm. The two brothers Zhao Zheng and Zhao Zhi were both in the peak strength of the innate realm.
Both of them are the old Li clan who worked in the clan guards since Li Jinhua was the leader of the clan, and are about fifty years old. They are considered to be the fourth uncle who originally led the clan guards and the old subordinate of Li Jinhu. As Li Jinhu's cultivation was abolished and retired to the second line, the clan system reformed, and the original clan guards were also changed to a law enforcement team, led by Li Qingjie.
Li Biyu is taking Liu Yu'er to the temporary sect to report, and only Li Qingkang and Li Qingjie are following him.
Li Qingxiao took the two of them and the innate realm follower led by Zhao Zheng and Zhao Zhi behind him and walked straight into the original Zheng clan hall. Now it has been changed to Li Qingxiao's residence in Heigu City, and then stopped.
"Qingjie, you have been waiting for Master Mingjian to send an order these days. The clan's supply of resources will remain unchanged. Let Zhao Zhi follow you and ask him to notify me if there is anything.
Qingkang, when Biyu comes back, you follow her to figure out the industries of the Zheng King and Zhang family, and then all of them will be returned to the family. Find out the original accounts, how to operate and maintain them in the future, and how to bring benefits to the family, you need to spend more time."
"I understand, second brother!"
Hearing Li Qingxiao's words, the two nodded and agreed. Li Qingxiao looked back and realized that he could not find Li Qinghan, and immediately shook his head.
"Where is that boy Qinghan?"
Seeing the two of them shook their heads, Li Qingxiao guessed that it was almost the same in his heart. Li Qinghan is young and has a relatively unrestrained temperament. He probably went around as soon as he came in, so he was still long, so Li Qingxiao didn't go to find him.
Seeing that Li Qingxiao had no other arrangements, the two turned around and left, leaving Li Qingxiao alone.
"Zhao Zheng, go to the city lord's mansion and bring all the previous files and records of the city's affairs. I will check it out these days."
Zhao Zheng and Zhao Zhi both looked honest and middle-aged. When they heard Li Qingxiao's words, Zhao Zheng didn't talk nonsense and took his subordinates to the city lord's mansion.
Li Qingxiao did not regard this place as the Li clan. At most, it was just a service location where he managed the Black Valley City, so he did not bring all his clan members this time.
Zhao Zheng moved three wooden boxes containing thousands of Black Valley City files before it was finished.
In the next seven days, Li Qingxiao did not take a step forward. Every day, he sent food and water to Zhao Zheng, so he only took the three boxes of files to focus on the key points and barely read them.
Seven days later, Li Qingxiao's eyes were filled with bloodshots, and he closed the last file and had a relatively comprehensive understanding of Black Valley City.
"This is another mess!"
Close his eyes and digested the contents in the file again. After opening his eyes for a moment, Li Qingxiao couldn't help but sigh.
There is no need to elaborate on the status of Black Valley City on Lansha Island. It is famous for being one in the ten cities. The number of monks is pitiful and poor. Because of the war between Zijian Pavilion and Guo, the monks died and ran away. Although the Zheng and Wang clans in the city were only foundation-building families, at least the total number of monks in the clan was nearly seventy or eighty. This battle directly defeated the two clans.
Even though Zhang was saved under Li Biyu's plea, he suffered heavy casualties. Now there are only more than 40 monks left in the clan, and most of them are mid- and low-level monks in the qi training.
Looking at the last record in the file, "On August 27, 2273, the Dongji Calendar, there were 237 monks in the Black Valley City", Li Qingxiao ran out on his forehead.
This is probably the number obtained after Zijian Pavilion occupied the Black Valley City and conducted a survey of the monks in the city, which should be extremely accurate.
In such a world with the main theme of cultivation, a city, no matter how prosperous or the potential it is, isn’t it just the number of monks?
The number of monks in Black Valley City is already at the end of the Ten Cities of Blue Sand Island, which is already miserable enough, so I can't watch it now.
Before the war started, the total number of monks in Black Valley City was close to 700. Although most of them were low-level monks in Qi training, they were also monks. After this battle, the good guys lost more than 400 people. Except for the more than 200 people in the Zheng King clan, I am afraid that the rest of the lost cultivators were all casual cultivators.
There are more than 200 monks, and now Li Qingxiao understands why the Treasure Pavilion in Zijian Pavilion has not been opened here. Not to mention the Treasure Pavilion, the family has so many high-level spiritual fish. He suspects that it is a problem whether the more than 200 monks in Black Valley City can afford it.
The cultivators gathered together just to cultivate resources.
But looking at the surrounding area of Black Valley, it is really poor.
The only fishing spot is a small tributary of Jingluo River, which is the 30-mile Baiming Dunes near Yulin Town. This is also the reason why the second-generation ancestor Li Caisheng chose to go to Yulin Town to open a tribe.
Next is Bayu Mountain, but the plants on Bayu Mountain are too single. Apart from bamboo, there are probably few spiritual medicines in the top grades in the mountains, so monks rarely get involved in it.
Li Qingxiao originally thought that Yulin Town was already poor enough, but thought that Heigu City should be a little better. After realizing it, he found that Heigu City was even poorer than other cities?
This is really not the poorest, only poorer. Li Qingxiao looked up at the city he was about to manage, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Why is Guo’s Jingluo City the largest city in Lansha Island?
Why did the monks in the three cities on Lanshadong Island squeeze their heads into the Purple Sword Pavilion of the Feilai Peak of Lianyun Mountain Range?
The Whale Lou City is not named after the Whale Lou River, but is actually named after the Whale Lou Beach a little further south. It is rumored that every hundred years, there will be twilight cetaceans sitting here in groups on the southern coastline of Lansha Island.
The so-called whales die and all things are born. Cetaceans can nourish all things by sitting and transforming, not to mention these cetacean monsters that have already built foundations have more spiritual energy in their bodies.
After being infiltrated by these sams and sirens, the Whale Lake Beach was almost filled with rare and elixirs, containing countless treasures.
Feilai Peak on Lianyun Mountain is the spiritual peak of Lansha Island that has the Five Elements Jedi. It is a natural treasure land that allows monks to form elixirs. As long as a monk who has achieved the dream of real people in Jindan, everyone will be overwhelmed.
Let’s take a look at the current Black Valley City, what is there?
Li Qingxiao gritted his teeth and thought for a long time. It seemed that the only highlight was that fresh spirit fish was very expensive! Thinking of this, my scalp was numb.
On the entire Blue Sand Island, the most expensive spiritual fish is probably the Black Valley City. This is also an important prerequisite for the Li family to make huge profits after the initial success in making ice.
As for the reason, it also has to do with the number of monks! How could the Dangling Zijian Pavilion and Guo Family miss such a huge fortune because of small reasons such as ice cubes? Besides, although there are not many cultivators of ice-type spiritual roots, they are not able to find the entire Blue Sand Island.
Since the Guo family did not have complete control in Linjiang City, and Zi Jiange had not been able to blatantly walk onto the stage before, neither side involved the fresh spirit fish.
The city of Heigu was completely ignored by Guo. Thinking about it, the profit of a mere 100,000 spirit stones per month is not necessarily favored by Guo, the Jindan family.
After all, demand determines the price! Neither Guo nor Zijiange came to the two cities of Heigu Linjiang to sell fresh spirit fish, which resulted in the absence of it on the market before, so the price became higher. This is the important reason why Li Qingxiao's fresh spirit fish can achieve great success in Heigu City.
But at this moment, the spirit fish is expensive, let alone Li Qingxiao has to worry about the sales of his own spirit fish. Once the spirit fish is expensive, wouldn’t the monks outside want to come to Heigu City even more? Then the fewer the number of monks, the fewer the source of spirit stones will be. Even in the future, the cultivation environment will gradually deteriorate. That’s not bad. Will Li run away at that time?
Li Qingxiao rubbed his head, which was filled with the contents of the file, stood up and looked outside the door, the city he was about to manage, and fell into deep thought.
"Spirit fish is very expensive... very expensive... very expensive?"
After muttering a few words, Li Qingxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly thought of an excellent idea, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
