The boss is going against the sky

Chapter 488 Map of the World
[PS, the title of this chapter is correct, it is actually 487, which does not affect reading—the real 487 was eaten by me.sorry. 】

Qingzhou, Pengqiu Mansion Cliff Mountain, Xuanmen Dojo.

Shen Qi was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard drinking tea and studying a book of martial arts when Ye Hongmei walked in and said with a smile: "Master, the Zhengshitang has just presented a map of the world."

After finishing speaking, she waved her jade hand, and she took out a wooden frame with a length and a width of about one zhang from the storage bracelet and dropped it in the yard.After she took away the silk covering the wooden frame, Shen Qi looked over and found that it was a map (map) of "Tianxia".

This map is similar to the ancient map of Shen Qi's previous life, very rough, and centered on the 23 prefectures of the Wumeng.

In addition, the shape of the entire continent is roughly similar to the Eurasian continent in Shen Qi's previous life, but it is one or two times larger.Outside of the Eurasian continent, the oceans are all marked, with only sporadic islands.There is no continent similar to Africa in the west and south of the continent, and there are no large islands in the ocean to the east of the continent.

However, across the wide ocean to the south, a snow-covered continent is marked in the Antarctic.After coming to the Martial Arts World, Shen Qi originally felt that Yuanwu Star had many similarities with the earth, so he wondered whether this map had omitted lands similar to Africa, America, and Australia.But when he saw that continents similar to Antarctica were painted, he felt that he was thinking too much.

Yuanwu star is Yuanwu star, and the earth is the earth, and the two should have nothing to do with each other.

Shen Qi wasn't too entangled in the overall shape of the mainland. As a supernatural power, as long as he was willing to spend some time traveling around the world, it would not be difficult to figure out the true appearance of Yuan Wuxing.

Then, Shen Qi carefully looked at the map again.

The first is the 23 states of the former Wumeng League.

According to the size of the population and the abundance of resources, these 23 states are generally divided into upper, middle and lower by prefectures and counties.

There are nine upper-class prefectures, namely Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Xiangzhou, and Jiangzhou.

There are also nine medium states, namely Youzhou, Liaozhou, Mengzhou, Bingzhou, Wuzhou, Yuezhou, Minzhou, Lingzhou, and Yunzhou.

There are five lower states, namely Heizhou, Liangzhou, Shazhou, Selangor, and Qianzhou.

Among them, Heizhou is the most northeastern part, where half of the year is covered with ice and snow. Although there are vast snow forests and rich products, but because of the difficulty of development, it is not suitable for living, so it has been reduced to an inferior state.

Liangzhou and Shazhou became a land dominated by Gobi and desert tens of thousands of years ago. They are truly desolate. Except for some minerals, some animals, medicinal materials, and natural and earth treasures, the products are also quite barren. , is a real poor place.

Xuezhou is located in the snow-covered plateau, where not only is a large area covered by ice and snow, but also has extreme weather such as strong winds and hail all year round, and the wild beasts and strange beasts that live in the snowy area are also very powerful and ferocious, so the population is small, and there are Not much development, so reduced to inferior.

As for Qianzhou, it is full of high mountains and mountains. Although it is rich in medicinal materials, it also has a lot of wild animals, poisonous insects, and exotic animals, so the population is not large, and the taxes that can be contributed are also small, which is also reduced to inferior.

In addition to the 23 states, the Wumeng also opened up five frontier states during the past 3000 years, namely Hanzhou, Xizhou, Jiaozhou, Haizhou, and Yinzhou.

From this map of the world, Hanzhou is located in the north of Mengzhou and Heizhou, extending to the extreme north. Although it is extremely vast, most of the area is barren and ice fields, similar to Siberia on Earth.

Xizhou is in the west of Shazhou and Xuezhou. It is a vast virgin forest, extending all the way to the wild west, and then there is a large ocean.

Jiaozhou is in the southwest of Yunzhou, similar to the Southeast Asian peninsula of the earth.

India is in the west of Jiaozhou, which is similar to the Indian peninsula on Earth, but in terms of proportion, the size is almost the same as that of Jiaozhou.

Haizhou is synonymous with the banded islands in the South China Sea. Although these islands are located on the earth similar to the Southeast Asian archipelago, they do not have a single large island and are all small islands.

Leaving aside the mistakes and omissions on the map, Yuanwu Star is indeed centered on the upper Kyushu of the original Wumeng.

Shen Qi was not satisfied with this map, but didn't say much, but asked: "What about the population? Has the population statistics work of the Zhengshitang been completed?"

Ye Hongmei was pleasantly surprised when she saw this map of the world. After all, such a large area on the map will be left to the Taoists in the future.Although he didn't understand why Shen Qi had such a cold expression, he didn't delve into it. Hearing this, he took out another stack of books and said, "This is the 23 prefecture household registers that have been sorted out initially, but the Zhengshitang said that the data on it can only For reference, the actual population of the 23 states today will not be known until statistics are made.”

"The work of counting the population may take quite a long time to complete. I have a preliminary understanding of the previous roster, and I have a picture in my heart." Said, Shen Qi flipped through the roster in front of him.

On a living planet, property and population are the two most important resources. Perhaps colonial martial arts like Lingyin Dao value property resources far more than population resources, but in Shen Qi's mind, population resources are the first .

Therefore, after the substantive unification of the orders of the 23 state political affairs halls was completed in the previous six months, the first edict he issued was to let the political affairs halls sort out the past population data of the 23 states, and then calculate the current actual population to create a new household registration register.

Under the rule of the Wumeng, not only the main sects of the state are in charge of their own affairs, but even the other sects under the main sects of the state are quite random in terms of civil politics, so the household registration information is very messy. But still frowning.

In some states, the latest household registration census was 500 years ago, and except for the seven prefectures under the original Xuanmen rule, the most recent household registration census in all other state capitals was also decades ago!

Shen Qi didn't know what to say anymore, so he could only shake his head secretly.

The total population of the 23 states finally obtained through these household registers is more than 8000 million. Compared with the vast land of the 23 states, it is not too much, but too small.However, Shen Qi was very skeptical about the authenticity of this data.

After looking at it roughly, Shen Qi asked Ye Hongmei to take away the rosters and maps, and said, "Population is the primary condition for the next big development of Yuanwu Star, so the Zhengshitang must handle this matter well. Not only Not only the population, but also the number of warriors, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants in each place must be investigated."

"Yes." Ye Hongmei nodded, "I will convey the meaning of the master to them."

"Senior sister, is there anything else?"

"Gone."

After speaking, Ye Hongmei tidied up and was about to leave.

Shen Qi looked at her and said: "Actually, the senior sister is in charge of all these affairs, and the specific aspects can be handed over to the disciples. In this way, the senior sister can also spend more time practicing martial arts."

But Ye Hongmei said: "My aptitude is average, even if I spend more time practicing, my progress will not be much faster. Besides, haven't I already broken through to the ninth level of congenital level? Trying to break through to the void."

"It's good that senior sister knows well." After saying this, Shen Qi didn't say any more, and watched Ye Hongmei leave.

Although Shen Qi told Ye Hongmei not to waste too much time on mundane affairs, he knew in his heart that if he could personally guide and supervise the various tasks after the political unification of the 23 states, it would be better than letting the people below do it. More efficient and more in place.

However, Shen Qi couldn't get rid of his sense of urgency in martial arts training.Although in the world of martial arts, Yuan Wuxing is located in a remote place, and it should be a place where he can devote himself to development; but when he thinks of the kind of magic way and Lingyin way that have already become enmity, Shen Qi becomes anxious. Condensate the supernatural power seeds as soon as possible, so as to enter a higher level of Jindan realm.

But he doesn't even have a clue about the matter of condensing the seeds of supernatural powers, so how can he focus on internal politics?

While Shen Qi was thinking about this, another person came to the courtyard, but it was Xi Wu who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Tingfeng Pavilion sect after Su Muchen left.

"Reporting to Master, Senior Brother Su has sent back news that the assassination of my Xuanmen disciple in Luling Manor has come to an end."
