Lord of the People: My Troops Have Mutated

In just two days, the flight route between Huangsha City and the Royal Capital was successfully opened.

In the past two days, Lin You has been busy taking care of various matters after the territory is upgraded.

period.

Many lords also came to visit and congratulate him on his advancement.

There were even two ninth-level lords among them, who came over and became familiar with each other.

"Lord, after statistics, the meeting gifts sent by those people totaled 80 million magic crystals, 2.36 million kilograms of grain, and countless other precious materials. Please take a look."

Inside the territory, Xue Changgui handed Lin You a statistical account while reporting.

"So many?" Lin You took over the account in surprise.

In the past two days, apart from the two ninth-level lords, the most people who came to congratulate them were the seventh- and eighth-level lords.

Eighty million magic energy is not a small amount for these two levels of lords.

Even if they were added up together, it was a bit beyond his expectation.

It just so happens that he is short of money now, so it can be regarded as a temporary solution to his urgent need.

"Okay, leave 50 million in working capital, specifically to expand the city and recruit people. You can take care of the rest."

Lin You deposited 50 million mana into Huangsha City's working capital, leaving only 30 million for himself as a backup.

Now is the time when Huangsha City is undergoing a massive expansion, and this little money may not be enough to support it for long.

After all, he has a ninth-level territory and is connected to the trade of the royal capital. He has to go to a million-level city, so the money for construction will naturally be indispensable.

"By the way, what did the people sent by the king say today?"

Lin You thought of something and then asked.

"Back to Lord, it's about regional jurisdiction." Xue Changgui clasped his fists respectfully.

"Regional jurisdiction?"

"Yes, every ninth-level lord in our principality has the right to govern the surrounding areas. All cities within a radius of 500 miles are now under the jurisdiction of our Huangsha City."

When saying this, Xue Changgui's voice was obviously trembling.

I think back then, their area was still the most barren frontier land, with not even an eighth-level lord.

Now, Huangsha City has not only become a ninth-level territory in one fell swoop, but also has the management rights of this area.

It can be said that earth-shaking changes have taken place.

To this.

Lin You had heard about it.

It was the king who issued the authority to let the ninth-level lords help manage the surrounding areas.

5% of all territorial taxes within the jurisdiction will be provided to the ninth-level lords, and then the principality will extract half, and the remaining half will belong to the ninth-level lords.

The reason why there is no tax on their side is because they are too poor and there is no tax to levy at all.

Nowadays, the rise of Huangsha City has gradually boosted the surrounding economy, making this land no longer barren, and the tax revenue of the principality will naturally follow.

After all, no matter what.

This is also on the territory of the principality.

"Okay, I'll leave the contact arrangements to you. If those cities are unwilling to cooperate, just tell me directly."

"Understood!" Xue Changgui responded respectfully.

Immediately afterwards.

He took out another account book and continued to report other things.

And right now.

On the void platform used to recruit new lords.

The three-monthly joint recruitment has just begun, and the entire platform is full of sixth-level newcomers.

The person in charge of the recruitment of the Great Wilderness Principality was an eighth-level lord who served under the king. The old god was leaning on the presiding position with his legs crossed.

Suddenly, a seventh-level person in charge hurried from a distance.

"Master Inquisitor, there is a new order from above!"

While shouting, he raised a golden document in his hand.

"What order?"

The eighth-level lord sat up straight, causing the new lords who were queuing up for testing to look this way.

The person in charge did not block it and said directly: "Sir, the superiors just sent an order saying that the rating of the territories within 500 miles around Huangsha City will be directly upgraded to S level. Because the territory information has not had time to change, so let us pay attention to it. , do not assign according to the original rating."

"Huangsha City? You mean that Mr. Lin's territory?"

The eighth-level lord regained his energy and quickly took the document.

When he unfolded it, he saw that it had the king's seal printed on it.

"It seems that due to that person's influence, the ratings of these territories have been temporarily changed. Listen up, everyone. The F-level and E-level territories around Huangsha City will all be allocated as S-level."

His voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of every person in charge clearly. Even the new lords who were queuing up for the test could hear clearly. Suddenly, everyone looked surprised and started talking.

"Senior, why did the territory's rating suddenly upgrade from F to S?"

A new lord couldn't help but ask the person in charge who specialized in recording data.

As soon as these words came out, the other newcomers nearby looked over, all with curious expressions on their faces.

"Oh, you are talking about those territories, because a ninth-level lord has just been promoted nearby. Being assigned there is equivalent to receiving the protection of that lord. Of course, the rating must be improved."

The person in charge said without raising his head, obviously he had expected this to happen.

"Ninth level!"

The eyes of the new lords suddenly widened.

Those eighth-level principal inquisitors are already so powerful that they can suffocate them. How terrifying should the ninth-level ones be?

If they can be protected by such a strong person, it will definitely be very beneficial to their future development!

In an instant, many new lords who had received the news gathered around and asked about the S-class territory.

Even those talented people with good potential were attracted by the name of the ninth-level lord and came to inquire about him.

The lively scene made the representatives of other principalities nearby couldn't help but look askance.

In general.

The birth of a ninth-level lord had a huge impact.

The void platform is just a miniature of it.

And as the source of all this.

Lin You actually didn't feel much.

After listening to Xue Changgui's report, he took the 30 million magic energy he had just obtained to the World Tree and upgraded the more important buildings in the territory one by one, raising them all to the ninth level.

After the level is upgraded, the effects of the buildings have been greatly improved.

For example, the training ground increases the training speed of the people, the breeding ground improves the efficiency of raising monsters, and the blacksmith shop improves the equipment manufacturing efficiency.

They are all important ways to improve the comprehensive level of the residents and are also a decisive factor in attracting foreign residents to stay here for a long time.

These.

They are all incomparable to the eighth-level lords.

After upgrading the building and using the newly obtained materials to build 5 airships, there was just 20 million left in mana.

After checking that nothing is missing.

Lin You came and sat down next to him, clicked on the principality channel, checked the news, and ate the breakfast sent by his subjects.

Now that the monster plane and the border battlefield can't be visited, the lords are basically idle. They all gather in the principality to chat and joke, or visit each other.

All in all it's very boring.

This was probably the first time he had seen such a harmonious and peaceful day since he came to this world, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

During this period, I have been running around to survive and become stronger.

How long has it been since he had such a relaxing and comfortable life?

I guess I can barely remember it, right?

This is also a good time to relax physically and mentally.

"Lord, are you inside?"

Just as he was thinking about it, a question suddenly came from outside, interrupting Lin You's thoughts.

Through the spiritual connection of the Demon Emperor Dragon in the sky, he saw Wei Gang standing outside with a group of guards at a glance.

"come in."

The voice fell, and the green vine forest gave way to a path.

It didn't take long.

Wei Gang walked into the territory alone and hurriedly came to him.

"What's up?"

Lin You asked while eating.

"Lord, please wait a moment. Various forces in our Huangsha City and other surrounding cities will jointly hold a monster hunting competition in the Gobi to select the younger generation of cultivators."

"The lords of each city have basically arrived. I would like to ask you to come over and take charge of the overall situation."

"Hunting competition?" Lin You paused.

"Yes, this kind of competition is held every year. It is set up by those forces specifically to recruit talented young people."

"Many young people with good talents who want to join the force will come here. We can take this opportunity to recruit some good talents." Wei Gang explained respectfully.

In every city, there are basically forces of various sizes.

Colleges, gangs, families, training sects, you name it.

Even in Huangsha City, many forces have been born recently, and they are one of the main sources of cultivators in the city.

Moreover, promoting the development and training of the younger generation will also be extremely beneficial to the future development of Huangsha City. At least there is no need to worry about talent transfer.

There's nothing to do for the time being anyway, so it might as well go and have a look.

You can also kill time and meet the lords of other cities.

Thinking of this, Lin You nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead and make arrangements. I'll be there later."

"Then my subordinate will take his leave first."

Wei Gang cupped his fists and bowed, then hurriedly left, leading his men to the Gobi.

And at this time.

The edge of the Gobi.

Teams of forces from major cities gathered here, making the originally desolate Gobi become lively.

In addition to these powerful teams, there are also many young people without teams.

Most of them look to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and the older ones are around fifteen years old. They have basically just reached the age of starting cultivation, which is the best time to show their talents.

Looking around, every young man's face was full of excitement and anticipation. They gathered together in twos and threes and chatted excitedly.

"I heard that many representatives from big forces are here this time. I wonder if I have a chance to be selected."

"If you want to join those big forces, you probably have to rank in the top 100 in this hunting competition."

"Look, they are representatives from Taihua City's Spirit Sword Sect and Thunder Fire City's Skyfire Academy!"

"And over there, it seems to be the Fiery Sword Sect in Zhongzhou City, and even they are here!"

"Look at the front, are they the seventh-level lords nearby?"

"It's true! Even such a big shot is here!"
