One million. This is not an exaggeration. It is a real number.
Moreover, not counting other villages and towns, the population of Xuanhuang City alone, according to statistics, has reached an astonishing figure of one million. In ancient times, even the capital of a dynasty had a population of at most a few hundred thousand, and few could exceed or even reach one million. This is already a super city. Xuanhuang City can accommodate such a large population.
You can imagine how large the area is.
How wide the area is.
"The larger the population, the harder it is to manage. Have there been a lot of disputes recently?" Yi Tianxing never thought that such a huge city would be peaceful. The possibility of conflicts between people is always surprisingly large. Even if there is mutual restraint, the probability of conflicts is still quite high.
If the world were peaceful, that would be abnormal.
"Yes, it is true. During this period, conflicts and quarrels have occurred frequently in the city, especially between buyers and sellers. The chances of conflicts are greater, making the tasks of the Six Gates even more arduous. However, after all, we are in troubled times, and everyone cherishes their current life. Even if there are quarrels, they are relatively restrained, and there has been no bloodshed. It is still under control."
Zhang Yue said quickly, "Because the task is heavy, I have taken the initiative to increase the number of detectives in the Six Gates. I hope the lord will punish me."
"That's fine. This is one of your rights. It's appropriate to the situation. Besides, I'm in seclusion. It's the best way to deal with it. What's wrong with that? If you don't even have this much adaptability, then I'm wrong."
Yi Tianxing smiled and shook his head, saying nonchalantly.
"As the population grows, more and more disputes will arise. I suggest that we establish a new criminal institution and even formulate a complete law to manage and regulate the daily behavior of the people in the city. Only with the constraints of the law can morality be formed and civilization be created."
Huang Chengyan suggested.
"There is no need to rush with the law and criminal matters for now. We are now promoted to a city. Once we reach the royal city, we can truly establish our dynasty. At that time, we will naturally have to establish criminal law and formulate laws. We can start preparations now, and implement them after they are specifically perfected. We can do it all at once. The most important thing is that our Xuanhuang City still lacks real legal talents."
Yi Tianxing also felt helpless about this. Legalists were the most suitable people to manage laws and formulate criminal laws. Without such talents around, it really made people feel that they were getting half the result with twice the effort and had no idea where to start.
"My lord, there is no need to worry. With the current reputation of Xuanhuang City, as long as there are human beings nearby, they will definitely come here in droves. All great talents have a heart that is unwilling to be lonely, especially in such troubled times. Troubled times give birth to heroes. Those talented people also have their own ambitions. My lord selects talented people, and naturally, talented people are also selecting wise leaders. I think that there is absolutely no shortage of real great talents in Xuanhuang City now, but they are still waiting and watching, still observing in secret. If my lord's actions can convince them, naturally, a large number of talented people will come to join us."
Jia Xu said with a faint smile, his expression showing great confidence and determination.
"Could it be that the military advisor already knows that a truly talented person has settled in our Xuanhuang City?" Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed, a thought quickly flashed through his mind, and he asked directly.
"We have indeed found several talented people in the city. Xu has also personally met and talked with them. They are indeed talented. However, they have no intention of immediately becoming officials. They are probably still waiting and watching. If the lord goes to invite them personally, there is a high chance that they will become officials and contribute fully to Xuanhuang City."
Jia Xu nodded and said.
"Okay, after the meeting, let the military advisor lead the way and I will go and take a look myself. If they are truly talented, we must invite them to serve, no matter how harsh the conditions are. Talent is the foundation of growth."
Yi Tianxing said with great joy in his heart.
This is naturally a happy event, and it can be considered a big happy event.
"My lord, three months ago, thirty-six villages proposed to be promoted to towns. My lord personally approved it. In the past three months, they have been promoted one after another. The army in Xuanhuang City has helped and defended. Although there have been disasters, they have all been suppressed. The casualties have been reduced to a minimum. The main body has not suffered too much damage. Now, there are already thirty-six towns in the surrounding area. Moreover, some of the people have begun to split and settle in these towns."
Huang Chengyan spoke again.
At the same time, he also described the specific conditions of these thirty-six towns in detail.
Let Yi Tianxing understand the specific situation around him in the shortest time possible.
The thirty-six towns can only be promoted if they are completely dependent on Xuanhuang City. The luck required for the promotion is also provided by Xuanhuang City. This kind of provision also makes these towns more closely connected with Xuanhuang City. Almost, the status of these town masters can be deprived in a single thought.
The selection of thirty-six towns was not done randomly.
The final decision is made based on the geographical location and even the distance between them.
If you have a map, you can see it.
These towns were completely centered around Xuanhuang City, and there was one every few miles. The distance between two towns was almost the same. Near each town, there were several, or even dozens of villages.
This is centered on Xuanhuang City and the town as the hub. The nearby villages and human gathering places within a radius of ten thousand miles are completely united together to form a whole, which can effectively control everything around it.
It can be said that this is a big net.
These towns are the nodes.
It holds a pivotal position.
Once they grow up, these places will become a center, a core.
"The teleportation arrays in all towns and villages have been completed and are all arranged and placed so that they can be used smoothly. The transmission channels are very stable. Through the teleportation array in our Xuanhuang City, we can easily reach any village within a radius of ten thousand miles."
Master Lu also spoke.
The completion of the teleportation array means that all villages and towns are now under control and completely integrated. There is no need to worry about being scattered in the wilderness and having difficulty in contacting and opening channels. The control over the surroundings has directly increased by dozens of times.
"Well, Master Lu has done a great job."
Yi Tianxing was delighted and said without hesitation.
Afterwards, everyone else started talking as well, recounting some of the major events that had happened in the past three months.
According to statistics, within a radius of ten thousand miles.
With Xuanhuang City as the center, there are a total of thirty-six villages. Two hundred and thirty-five villages. The total registered human population in Xuanhuang City has reached tens of millions. This number is quite astonishing.
According to the calculation that only one in a hundred survived during the turbulent times in the Eternal Continent, the number of people who descended within a radius of ten thousand miles could have reached billions, but in the end only tens of millions were killed or injured.
The horror of troubled times can be seen from this.
... ... ... ... ... ... .
While the meeting was being held in Xuanhuang City, a huge cave suddenly appeared in a huge mountain outside the territory of Xuanhuang City. The cave was pitch black and terrifyingly deep. Moreover, there were wisps of black air flowing in the winding cave.
The mountains are huge.
When the first hole appeared.
Immediately afterwards, more cave entrances appeared one after another, covering all over the mountain. They looked like a beehive, making people feel scared, as if there was some terrible monster hidden in the cave.
The dark hole seemed to be able to swallow everything, giving people an invisible pressure.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Roar!!
In the cave, one could hear waves of strange roars, which sounded scary. Moreover, there were not just one roar, but thousands of roars, which converged together and made one's hair stand on end.
Boom! !
After a large number of cave entrances appeared, I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a terrible roar was heard, and then, huge, hideous and terrifying insects were seen rushing out of the cave frantically.
Looking closely at these insects, they seem to be very similar to the insects I have seen before, there are beetles with hard shells and huge bodies, bigger than buffaloes, and when they move, they exude a cold and deadly breath, which gives people a sense of fear.
Some bugs, as soon as they appear, burrow into the ground.
Some insects were running wildly on the ground, their legs sharp as spears. Running wildly on the ground.
Some insects actually opened their shells, spread their wings, and flew into the sky.
Dark and crowded.
Large numbers of insects swarmed out from the mountains like a tide.
Those holes seemed to be connected to a world full of bugs.
A huge number of insects swept out like a flood.
Boom! !
Some insects hit the big trees, and their hard shells caused the trees to collapse and break. Some insects waved their ferocious legs and moved as fast as lightning. Some insects emitted cold air, freezing the ground. Some insects spewed out flames, setting the grass and trees on fire.
Wherever they passed, there was real chaos.
As if he had suffered a devastating blow.
"Bugs, kill them quickly, kill these bugs."
The goblin tribe, consisting of tens of thousands of goblins, heard the ground shaking. They looked up one by one, and when they found the overwhelming number of insects, their faces changed drastically. They picked up their weapons and started fighting.
But under the attack of insects, tens of thousands of goblins were overwhelmed and torn into pieces by the dense insects in just a moment.
The damage to the insect swarm was not high at all. The attack of these insects was too violent. All that could be seen was a thick bloody smell echoing between heaven and earth.
