From Mortal Flesh To Smashing Planets

after an hour.

Wen Yusheng and Wen Xingchen came back to Li Mi's room.

"This time, thanks to Li Wushen, if it wasn't for Li Wushen, the consequences would be disastrous."

Wen Yusheng said gratefully.

"Is it related to the Xiangshi collar last time?"

Li Mu said.

"yes."

Wen Yusheng nodded: "The last time we almost started a war with the Xiangshi leader, fortunately Xingchen and Yuanshan sneaked into the Xiangshi leader and threatened Cui Sheng, so that he did not dare to act rashly, but Cui Sheng obviously took this Keep this thing in mind, this time we specially invited people from the Dragon Fist Sect, intending to use the method we used to scare him back then to intimidate us and force us to pay the money."

"Xiangshiling... the moon is the first to be close to the water."

Li Mu said.

The Dragon Fist Gate was established in Xiangshiling.

To be precise, the Dragon Fist Gate itself is equivalent to a small territory.

Due to its own strength, not to mention dozens of martial sages, it is not far from Kanyun country. If Molong country dares to force the Dragon Fist Sect, it is very likely to force them to fall to Kanyun country.

Under such circumstances, even though Mo Longguo had always wanted to subdue the Dragon Fist, he never found a chance to do so.

Over the past few decades, the Dragon Fist School has become deeply rooted, and many disciples have integrated into the Molong Kingdom to hold important positions, so that it will be more and more difficult for the royal family of Molong to uproot the Dragon Fist School, and they can only watch helplessly.

"It's time for the tax officials to collect taxes soon, so Cui Sheng is in a hurry. After this month is over and this year's tax is paid, Cui Sheng will naturally stop."

Wen Yusheng said with a pause: "Of course, it's not like we haven't made any preparations. We have expanded the number of garrison troops to 1,200 people, but...the newly expanded 600 people are not enough. Weapons, this is why they are not formally incorporated into the escort regiment..."

There are many arms dealers in the land of Da Yue.

But it is not easy to arm six hundred people.

Although a rifle only costs 200 imperial gold dollars, if bullets, training expenses, etc. are included, there will be 600 more people, and basically 3 million more military expenditures per year.

The tax revenue of Xiangye City is less than 10 million, and 70% to 80% of it will be directly taken away by Mo Longguo, leaving only one or two million to Xiangye City.

Of course, Xiangye City itself will also do accounts, but in fact their annual surplus is only about four to five million.

With an army of 600 people already raised, another 600 soldiers will be recruited...

Enough to drag down the economy of Xiangyeling.

"Speaking of the army..."

Li Mi glanced at Wen Yusheng: "If you want to occupy the black gold mining area, how many people does Lord Wen think you need?"

"Occupy the black gold mining area?"

Wen Yusheng was taken aback.

However, he quickly calculated: "The black gold mining area is very large and extends in all directions. It spans the three major territories of Fragrant Leaf, Maple Forest, and Cold Wood. There are four exits... Due to the raging monsters inside, even if we occupy the , It will not cause too much commotion, but there are three exits in the other two territories... It is basically impossible for them to allow us to station troops at those entrances and exits and implement a complete blockade."

He shook his head: "Unless we can defeat those two territories."

"So, what kind of strength is needed to defeat those two territories?"

Li Mu said.

Wen Yusheng looked at Li Mi, somewhat confused about the meaning of his asking these questions.

Wen Xingchen, on the other hand, stepped forward immediately, and promised in a deep voice: "As long as Li Wushen needs it, we, Xiangye Ling, are willing to fight for Li Wushen."

Li Mi looked at him, a little surprised.

Wen Yusheng also came to his senses at this time, and said solemnly: "The two territories of Fenglin and Hanmu are not considered strong. As long as we arm 1,200 people, it will not be difficult to defeat them. On the contrary, the territory of Xiangshi is afraid of them." When the time comes, it will be a hindrance...but if it is Li Wushen's intention, I can mobilize right now!"

Li Mi didn't look like Wen Yusheng who was joking, and smiled: "Lord Wen, what you said... sounds like you want to respect me."

"If you are still the former Li Wusheng, it would be presumptuous of us to say this, but... Li Wushen..."

Wen Yusheng paused, and said emphatically: "It is completely possible to enclose Xiangye, and even enclose several surrounding territories like Longquanmen, and make it a country within a country that Molong Kingdom can only acquiesce to. "

"I'm surprised, we've only known each other for two months."

Li Mu said.

"Two months is enough for us to see a person clearly. I believe that if Li Wushen really becomes the new lord of this territory, he will definitely not implement harsh and tyrannical rule over his subordinates like the Molong royal family. At least, Fragrant leaves lead 300,000 people without even having difficulty maintaining basic food and clothing."

When Wen Yusheng said this, he smiled bitterly: "Does Li Wushen know how much tax we need to pay for the fragrant leaf collar this time?"

He didn't let Li Mi guess, and said directly: "It's ten million."

"Ten million?"

Li Mi understood.

"The total financial income statement made by Xiangye collar this year is only 9.8 million, but... all lords will cheat on the financial statements, the difference is only a little, and the above considers that being a lord has more or less relative To live a good life, we turn a blind eye to this. The real income of our Xiangye collar this year should be 15 million, but more than 4 million of it is through road construction, house building, orchards and other channels Let it go, and this allows people to survive this year... Once the tax is paid..."

Wen Yusheng paused: "Don't talk about arming 600 recruits, even if part of the existing 600 guards have to be abolished, one soldier can support a family of seven or eight people. If we really abolish them, it's not just an extra Hundreds of unemployed people are equivalent to hundreds of poor families."

The income of Xiangye collar soldiers is not high, but there are various hidden benefits.

Wen Yusheng used many similar methods to reduce the poverty rate in the territory as much as possible while avoiding the eyes of tax officials.

Different from Tianyuan and Taibai's so-called poor family standards, Xiangyeling's poverty refers to a high probability of starving to death.

What Wen Yusheng gave them was the basic guarantee of survival.

"Your taxes last year were only 8 million, right? Did it rise to 10 million so quickly?"

Li Mu said.

Wen Yusheng glanced at Li Mi, and said, "Perhaps Cui Sheng is acting as a hindrance. He wants to use this method to weaken the strength of Xiangyeling and hit the people's hearts of Xiangyeling."

"A territory with a population of 300,000 may be in trouble because of millions of dollars..."

Li Mu said: "There is indeed a problem."

He is not interested in the hegemony game on the land of the Great Moon, but...

He really didn't want to give up the treasure in the black gold mining area in a short time.

If it is confirmed that every corpse king has that kind of transparent spar...

The price of this kind of spar will not be inferior to that of rare star artifacts.

With this treasure house, there are Lei Ci Yuan Jing, Huan Shen Incense, and Ju Ling Beads, everything that one expects to find.

It has been a while since he sorted out his martial arts system, but during this time, his magnetic field strength has only increased by less than 1 point.

In other words, it will take at least a year for him to reach the high-level Valkyrie and forge the life force field into a star magnetic field!

As for raising Qi and blood to the level of a top star refiner, it will take more time.

Previously, he was busy sorting out the martial arts system and didn't feel much, but in the past month, he has practiced formally, and he really feels...

slow!

slow!

too slow!

Therefore, he must hold the treasure of the black gold mining area in his hands.

"If I remember correctly, the strongest person in the Molong Kingdom is the lord Wu Muxuan, a top star refiner. In addition, he has nine generals and twelve lords under his command..."

Li Mi weighed in her heart.

One top star refiner and twenty-one high-level star refiners.

And there are more than a hundred ordinary star refiners, and more than two hundred martial saints in total.

A very powerful force.

but……

This force does not necessarily work entirely on him.

Whether it is the Nine Great Generals or the Twelve Great Lords, the relationship with him is more like an alliance.

Just like the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Taibai Kingdom, both belong to the Tianyuan Federation, but each lord also has sufficient jurisdiction within the country.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is...

"It's just a top star refiner."

Li Mu said.

Wen Yusheng and Wen Xingchen looked at each other, anxiously waiting for Li Mi's decision.

"So...just a top star refiner."

He smiled.

Neither is the great star refiner.

Not to mention comparable to a legend.

Even if it is a legendary mage of the star palace system like Da Shang.

He looked at Wen Yusheng and Wen Xingchen: "You really, don't you regret it? After all, if I can't protect you, you won't even be a lord."

Hearing Li Mi's words, the father and son laughed at the same time.

"If you can't be, you can't be. If it's not because you love this land deeply and want to change her, is it really okay to be the lord of Fragrant Leaf?"

"I'm a Martial Saint. Although I'm not a star refiner, with my ability, I can live well in any country I immigrated to, and the six extremes of the world are no exception."

The two said at the same time.

"That's not necessarily the case. You have changed your allegiance to the Molong royal family to me. To some extent, it is equivalent to a betrayal of the Molong royal family. I don't think they will show mercy to the traitors. It may not be safe and sound.”

Li Mu said.

"Then let him come. The worst result is to die in battle."

Wen Xingchen said calmly: "As a warrior, why should you be afraid of fighting to the death?"

Wen Yusheng also has a calm face: "I am fifty-six this year. Although I am not an old man, more than half of my life has passed. I grew up on this land since I was a child. I have been muddled for most of my life, but I have achieved nothing. I can do something for this land with the last part of my life, no matter what the end result is."

"Then, it's time for you to show your abilities."

Li Mi stood up and patted Wen Yusheng on the shoulder: "My first request is very simple. Occupy the black gold mining area, and collect all the land centered on the black gold mining area into the Xiangye collar. During this period, you may be attacked. Some resistance, but..."

He paused: "When necessary, I will take action."
