I Have a City in a Different World

Chapter 51 Trouble is coming

Tang Zhen had heard before that the border of Daqi was in chaos and enemy troops continued to launch invasions.

On the surface, it looks like a fight between countries, but behind the scenes it is driven by practitioners.

They want to seize the territory and gain more offerings.

Tang Zhen didn't know the specific situation, but he knew that the people who suffered were definitely ordinary people.

Affected by the war, the Daqi border was in chaos, villages and towns were reduced to ruins, and a large number of refugees were forced to migrate.

The refugees in front of me had fled all the way from the border.

In the places passed along the way, the government had no intention of accepting the refugees, but instead continued to expel them by force.

Once refugees are admitted, it will cause tremendous pressure and may lead to even greater chaos.

Therefore, they drove them away one after another, and even specially provided food, just to keep these refugees away.

With no choice but to move forward, the refugees finally arrived in Huangshan County.

This is also the main reason why a large number of refugees suddenly arrived.

For Tang Zhen, refugees were never a burden, and he would dare to accept them no matter how many there were.

To promote Loucheng to the second level, Tang Zhen needs more residents. If he cannot meet the quantitative standards, he will not be able to be promoted to the third level.

The basic number reaches 100,000, and there is no upper limit. It is one of the requirements for promotion to the third-level building city.

It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to achieve because these 100,000 people are official residents.

Becoming an official Loucheng resident is not something you can do just by giving an identity, but you need to meet certain standards.

The most basic point is that loyalty must be up to standard.

Tang Zhen established a grading system, guided them step by step, and provided sufficient benefits.

The real purpose of this is to cultivate enough loyalty and win people's hearts through spending money.

Don't think that the method is very low-end. In fact, this is the reality. If you can't get enough benefits, who will work hard with him.

This is the truth behind the hustle and bustle in the world.

It can be said that Tang Zhen has been spending money since the establishment of Loucheng, and more funds will need to be invested in the future.

Lou Ling understood his master very well and deliberately reminded Liu Hanyan during the task, asking her to help make money together.

Seeing the smiling faces of the refugees queuing up to sign up, Tang Zhen confirmed that he was lucky.

Compared with other candidates, refugees are actually a better choice. They have lost everything and can make it easier to make the city their home.

With less money, you can get a higher conversion rate, which is undoubtedly the greatest comfort.

Tang Zhen is short of money now.

Although not long ago, five million yuan was transferred from the hands of Liu Hanyan, a young rich woman, but it was all spent in the blink of an eye.

Lou Cheng was promoted to one million.

After being promoted to the second-level building city, one million silver taels must be reserved to maintain daily consumption.

The purchase of various supplies needs to be deducted from this fund, and if it is less than 100,000, it needs to be made up immediately.

To maintain the operation of the building city, a large amount of money is indeed needed, and money is spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even though the products on the Cornerstone platform are cheap and many items are sold at bargain prices, having more varieties is still a huge sum of money.

The more residents there are in Loucheng, the greater the daily consumption.

The current residents of Loucheng do not have much ability to make money, so Tang Zhen, the city lord, needs to worry about everything.

After the residents grew up and were able to help make money, Tang Zhen had the opportunity to become a hands-off shopkeeper.

Just like cultivating a fruit tree, there must be investment in the early stage, but it will eventually bloom and bear fruit.

Tang Zhen was looking forward to that day.

There were still three million taels of silver left, so Tang Zhen took out another one million taels, directly reaching the full level of the God Refining Realm.

The price can be said to be quite reasonable for the one hundred thousand tael upgrade.

If calculated according to this standard, Tang Zhen's promotion to the realm of transforming infants would cost one million taels for each level.

It sounds like it's not cheap, but if other monks knew about it, they would be extremely envious.

However, this opportunity can only be enjoyed by Tang Zhen. Outsiders are not eligible to enjoy this upgrade benefit even if they spend ten times or a hundred times the price.

So there are still two million taels left, which is not a small amount, and can at least be used for a period of time.

The problem is that today's external environment is far more dangerous than imagined. Although Yunxiao Sect has not found trouble for the time being, greater hidden dangers are coming.

Whether it is the practitioners in the northern Xinjiang or the sects in the southern Xinjiang, Tang Zhen must be more careful and beware of the other party coming to seek trouble.

In order to protect the safety of the city, he must upgrade the defense level and add some powerful defensive weapons.

The first is the defensive array, which is an option that must be upgraded.

The protective array of the second-level building city can only protect the building city itself and can withstand the attacks of the Huaying-level monks.

Such a defensive force is already quite powerful, and many sects' mountain-protecting formations are far inferior.

For Tang Zhen, it was far from enough.

He needs a higher-level protective array that can not only defend the city, but also include the entire territory.

This level of protective array is also available on the Cornerstone Platform, and like the exercises practiced by Tang Zhen, it is an upgradeable type.

The original version costs one million taels, which can cover the entire Loucheng territory and can be automatically activated at any time.

If you are willing to spend money to upgrade, the defense standards can be continuously improved. As long as the money is in place, not even gods can break in.

Such a protective array perfectly met Tang Zhen's needs, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

After purchasing the protective array, Tang Zhen only had one million left in his pocket, but he still had a lot of money to spend.

With a strong shield, you must also have a sharp spear. While blocking the enemy, you must also give a sharp counterattack.

The best defense is to attack, which can kill the enemy and force them to retreat, and the crisis encountered will be resolved accordingly.

It can also act as a deterrent, so that enemies will not dare to offend easily again.

This money must be spent, not only to protect Loucheng, but also to protect Tang Zhen himself.

After browsing through the cornerstone platform, Tang Zhen spent his last few cents and purchased a "satellite" hanging in the sky.

It is not a real satellite, but has similar functions. Its main function is to attack the enemy.

It collects all kinds of energy on weekdays and launches death beams when attacking enemies. The power can be said to be extremely powerful.

With this home-guarding space-based weapon, even if a powerful enemy launches a surprise attack, Lou Cheng is fully capable of defending and repelling it.

With his back against the cornerstone platform, but still being bullied and unable to raise his head, this only proves that Tang Zhen is a waste.

He doesn't want to be cautious, but wants to be truly invincible.

Regardless of the identity of the other party, as long as he dares to provoke himself, he must pay a heavy price.

The money was spent cleanly, but Tang Zhen felt very comfortable because all the money was spent wisely.

The next thing to do is to make money happily and strive to meet the standards for promotion to the third-level building city.

By paying 100 million taels of silver and having 100,000 official residents of the building city, you can be promoted to the third-level building city.

To build a city, it costs one thousand taels, to advance to level two it will cost one million, and to level three it jumps directly to one hundred million.

This also made Tang Zhen secretly wonder, what kind of harsh conditions would be required to be promoted to a higher level of Loucheng?

It's okay to need silver. No matter if it's one billion or tens of billions, there will eventually be a chance to get it together.

I'm afraid that if I don't need the silver, but replace it with something else, that would be a real headache.

Fortunately, Tang Zhen is confident enough that no matter how big a problem he encounters, he will definitely be able to find a solution.

Tang Zhen stood at the head of the bridge and was thinking about it secretly when he suddenly felt a monk approaching quickly.

Looking up to the horizon, he saw several monks riding spiritual cranes, flying rapidly towards the location of Loucheng.

Sensing the other person's aura and demeanor, he seems to be very panicked and may have suffered serious trauma.

Several figures followed closely behind, riding giant eagles with white heads and black feathers, looking menacing.

It was obvious from the looks of it that the group of monks driving the black eagle were obviously chasing the enemy.

Tang Zhen frowned slightly and immediately guessed the camps the two sides belonged to, most likely the Northern Xinjiang monks and the Southern Xinjiang alliance.

Although the future is inevitable, Tang Zhen at this moment does not want to be involved in the fight between the two parties.

"This is private property. Practitioners should give way immediately, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Tang Zhen's warning was issued, and at the same time he released the power of the God Refining Realm, forcing the two groups of practitioners to take a detour.
