I Have a City in a Different World

Loucheng issued a notice that another group of people have obtained resident qualifications and will go to designated locations to collect items.

The residents who were notified had smiles on their faces and lined up happily.

Seeing this scene, the candidate residents were filled with envy.

Things like this are happening constantly these days, and many people are notified without preparation.

Some people are envious, while others work harder and harder, thinking that it won't be long before it's their turn.

In the city of buildings, the most indispensable thing is hope. As the slogan on the wall says, those who work hard will definitely be rewarded.

Even a cunning person will change his behavior if he has been exposed to it for a long time.

Today, there are more than 200,000 people gathered in the Loucheng area, most of whom are refugees from the border.

They have experienced war and death, and have been displaced all the way, so they naturally understand how happy life is in Loucheng.

After knowing the rules of Lou City, their biggest wish is to become the official residents of Lou City.

In addition to Loucheng, other places are not considered at all.

Loyalty is springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and it continues to increase crazily, with more and more candidates meeting the standards.

For this group of people, Tang Zhen will speed up their promotion to avoid having to wait too long and causing their confidence to be frustrated.

It's just that some things shouldn't be rushed, and the same goes for resident promotions.

We must abide by the rules and pay attention to a step-by-step approach.

If all were promoted out of the ordinary, it would probably cause people to have various thoughts and even doubt the fairness of Loucheng's rules.

For Tang Zhen, such hidden dangers must be avoided, otherwise it may affect Loucheng's promotion.

Lou Ling can handle it properly, it will grasp the reasonable scale, promote thousands of official residents every day, and it can collect a hundred thousand in less than a month.

However, in this case, consumption will increase again.

Tang Zhen knows better than anyone how expensive it is to maintain the normal operation of Loucheng. Spending money every day is like running water.

Without the cornerstone platform, it would be difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to have enough food, let alone improve their own rapid development.

Tang Zhen was looking at the map at the moment, which marked the distribution of mines in Da Qi. Minerals such as copper and iron did not need to be ignored, but gold and silver mines had to be marked.

He is preparing to send Loucheng residents to carry automatic mining equipment to the gold and silver mining areas for mining.

If done correctly, you should be able to obtain large amounts of gold and silver, thereby alleviating financial distress.

When Tang Zhen occupied Daqi this time, he did get more than one billion silver coins, but it could only meet his temporary needs.

Now he is training a large number of monks and promoting residents of Loucheng in batches, all of which require massive capital investment.

Not to mention the daily operation of the building city, hundreds of thousands of people need to eat and drink, these are all ordinary expenses.

With such a shortage of money, Tang Zhen will definitely not let go of the minerals and must firmly hold them in his hands.

The mining equipment sold by Cornerstone Platform is extremely efficient and safe. Once it is put into production, it will not take long to reap the rewards.

In addition to mining gold and silver, Tang Zhen is also preparing to continue doing business.

The employees of the owner of Ruixiang Trading Company have now joined Loucheng and work in the newly established commercial department.

In the near future, he will take a transport airship and be equipped with armed escorts to go to various parts of Daqi to sell Loucheng products.

If necessary, you can also travel to neighboring countries to earn more wealth.

Don’t underestimate the private market, let alone the money-making ability of Loucheng products. Once this channel is fully opened, it is likely to be more profitable than mining.

Tang Zhen's products are all from Jishipintai, and the purchase cost is ridiculously low.

If you do it well, you can achieve hundreds of times the profit.

However, there is one thing that still makes Tang Zhen feel a little depressed, that is, there are restrictions on the sales of medicinal medicinal artifacts, and selling them to outsiders will lead to an increase in prices.

For internal use in the building city, there are not so many restrictions.

This should be the protection rule of the cornerstone platform. There is no problem with internal use, but if the outside world obtains it, it will pose a threat to the city.

Tang Zhen's original plan was to earn more wealth by selling elixirs and magic weapons. Practitioners are the real rich.

But the existence of this rule made it impossible for Tang Zhen to make a fortune by reselling.

Fortunately, after some research, Tang Zhen found a way to bypass the rules and restrictions of the Cornerstone Platform.

The Cornerstone platform sells prescriptions, as well as various medicinal materials, and Tang Zhen can buy them at low prices.

These elixirs and medicinal materials also have sales restrictions, which are similar to the rules for finished elixirs and magical instruments.

But if there is an alchemist in Loucheng, they can refine it into finished elixirs and then sell them without so many restrictions.

However, such elixirs cannot be guaranteed to be of perfect quality, and their efficacy will naturally be reduced.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the Cornerstone platform has no restrictions.

This is true for elixirs, and it is also true for magical weapons.

This made Tang Zhen determined to train Loucheng's own alchemists and weapon refiners, so that there would be no restrictions on making money.

Cornerstone Platform actually had good intentions and did not want Lou Cheng to be harmed too much. It also used this method to urge Tang Zhen and encourage him to grow up as quickly as possible.

In order to make more wealth, taking the initiative to cultivate alchemy and weapon refining masters can actually be regarded as a kind of progress.

Having seen the cruelty of war, Tang Zhen was actually very disgusted with war. The main purpose of working hard to strengthen himself and upgrade the city was to protect himself.

If you don't let yourself become stronger, you will have to face the cruel reality of the spiritual world. Whether it is the Southern Alliance or the Northern Territory, or the sudden emergence of the secret sect of gods, they can swallow up all the buildings until no bones are left.

Tang Zhen wanted to make money in business and did not want to gain wealth through war. Whether he could achieve his wish still depends on how the situation develops in the future.

After summarizing, Tang Zhen formulated the next action plan.

Develop gold and silver mines in Daqi and increase mineral exploration to discover more gold and silver deposits.

Expand the size of the caravan, equip it with enough armed guards, and go to various parts of Daqi and foreign countries to do business.

Then select a group of talented seedlings from among the reformed monks and train them to become weapon refiners and alchemists.

Other types of cultivation craftsmen also need to increase their efforts in training, and they may be needed in the future.

When Tang Zhen thought of this, he felt secretly happy.

From now on, there is no need to worry about the source of monks, and the number will increase in the future.

You can do whatever you want to cultivate.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, it takes a certain amount of time to grow and requires a massive investment of resources.

Thinking of the investment in cultivating monks, Tang Zhen felt a pang in his heart. Every time he successfully transformed a group of monks, his pocket would become smaller.

Just when Tang Zhen was wondering whether he should go to other countries and plunder those fatuous monarchs, he suddenly received a message from Liu Hanyan.

He has an exclusive communication channel and has added some friends, Liu Hanyan is one of them.

The ancestor of the Liu family came to visit, and he was accompanied by three other families. They all originally belonged to the Yunxiao Sect, but their descendants have joined Loucheng.

Liu Hanyan's three junior sisters and junior brothers belonged to these three families and came to seek refuge with dozens of their juniors.

Tang Zhen naturally had to treat these people who were aware of current affairs differently and took the opportunity to show his attitude to the outside world.

Although Lou Cheng can implant spiritual roots and create cultivators in batches, it does not mean that outside cultivators do not need to defect.

Cultivators trained in batches are still different from orthodox monks, and even far inferior in many places.

If you want to become an orthodox practitioner, you not only need opportunity and status, but you also have to make a lot of sacrifices yourself.

In terms of knowledge reserve alone, it is no less than a learned person.

The monks in Loucheng were different. As long as they were loyal enough and were lucky enough to get a place, they could become a monk again.

Even if you are illiterate, you can still become a practitioner.

Fortunately, this situation is only temporary. As the Loucheng monks continue to grow, the gap between the two sides will become smaller and smaller.

Sooner or later, the grown-up monks in Loucheng will make outside monks look up to them in awe.

Although this is the case, the recruitment must still continue, and the more the better in terms of quantity.

Being able to recognize loyalty, Tang Zhen naturally does not have to worry about traitors. Once he reaches a dangerous area, Lou Ling will automatically turn on the anti-traitor mode.

Loucheng is different from the sect. If you still dare to hide your dirty thoughts, you will taste the bitter consequences in a short time.
