I have a city in another world

Chapter 4430
Tang Zhen had heard earlier that the border of Daqi was in chaos, and enemy troops continued to invade.

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 border of Daqi was in chaos, villages and towns were reduced to ruins, and a large number of refugees were forced to relocate.

The refugees in front of them 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 dared to accept 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.

A basic number of [-] and no upper limit is one of the requirements for promotion to the third-level building city.

It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to do it, because these [-] people are official residents.

Becoming an official Loucheng resident is not something that can be done by giving an identity, but needs 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 doing this is to cultivate enough loyalty and buy people's hearts by spending money.

Don't think that the method is 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 already lost everything, and it is easier to make Loucheng 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, 500 million was just transferred from the hands of the rich woman Liu Hanyan, but it was spent in the blink of an eye.

Lou Cheng was promoted to 100 million.

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

The purchase of various materials needs to be deducted from this fund, and if it is less than [-], it needs to be made up immediately.

If you want to maintain the operation of the building city, you really need a lot of money, and you need to spend money 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 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 grow up and can help make money, Tang Zhen will have the opportunity to be the 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.

With 300 million taels of silver left, Tang Zhen took out another 100 million taels, directly smashing the realm of refining gods to the full level.

Upgrading to one level is 10 taels, and the price can be said to be quite reasonable.

If calculated according to this standard, Tang Zhen would need 100 million taels per level to advance to the realm of transforming infants.

It doesn't sound cheap, but if other monks know about it, they will be extremely envious.

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

So there are 200 million taels left, which is not too small, at least it can 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 magic circle, which is an option that must be upgraded.

The protective magic circle of the second-level Loucheng can only protect the Loucheng itself, and can resist the attacks of the monks who are transformed into infants.

This kind of defensive power is already quite strong, and the mountain protection formations of many sects are far inferior.

For Tang Zhen, it was far from enough.

He needs a higher-level protective circle 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 100 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 standard can be continuously improved. As long as the money is in place, even the gods will not be able to break in.

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

After purchasing the protective array, Tang Zhen only had 100 million left in his pocket, but he still had a lot of money to spend.

With a solid shield, there must be a sharp spear. While blocking the enemy, it 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 sum of money must be spent, not only to protect Loucheng, but also to protect Tang Zhen himself.

Browsing through the cornerstone platform, Tang Zhen spent his last pennies and bought a "satellite" hanging in the sky.

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

Collect all kinds of energy on weekdays, and launch a death beam when attacking the enemy. The power can be said to be extremely powerful.

With this space-based weapon for guarding the house, even if a strong enemy launches a surprise attack, Loucheng is fully capable of defending and repelling it.

Leaning against the cornerstone platform, but still being oppressed and unable to lift his head up, that only proves that Tang Zhen is too useless.

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

No matter what the status of any other party is, as long as they dare to provoke themselves, they must pay a painful 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-tier building city.

Pay [-] million taels of silver and have [-] official building city residents, and you can be promoted to a third-level building city.

Establish a building city of 1000 taels, promote to the second level to 100 million, and promote to the third level to directly jump to [-] million.

This also made Tang Zhen wonder to himself, what kind of harsh conditions would be required to be promoted to a higher level of Loucheng?
It's okay to need silver taels, no matter if it is one billion or tens of billions, there will be a chance to get it all together.

I'm afraid that I don't need silver taels, but replace it with other things, which is really a headache.

Fortunately, Tang Zhen has enough confidence 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 sky, I saw several monks flying towards the location of Loucheng on a spirit crane.

Perceiving the breath and demeanor of the other party, he seemed very flustered, and was likely to suffer serious trauma.

Several figures followed closely behind, driving a giant eagle with a white head and black feathers, with a menacing posture.

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 a private territory, practitioners should avoid it immediately, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

Tang Zhen's warning was issued, and at the same time, the power of the realm of refining gods was released, forcing the two groups of practitioners to detour.
