Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 104 Understand the situation in Xuecheng and Huo Yuhao’s “lies”

It took a long time to take a carriage from the inner city to the city entrance. Huo Yuhao and Xiao Zhengxin rode in the same carriage and talked about many things.

Before Huo Yuhao was appointed, Mingxue City had been harassed by foreign threats, namely those sea soul beasts that appeared from time to time. After Xiao Zhengxin introduced it, Mingxue City’s external threats not only came from the ocean, but also came down from the mountains to hunt for food during the winter. The soul beast.

Mingxue City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. These mountains are the stretching branches of Sunset Forest.

Since the mineral deposits near Mingxue City have been exhausted, the mining sites are closer to Haikou and the forest. In addition, many mines are family-owned private enterprises, and the location is also difficult to manage.

The security of most mines is handled by the nobles themselves, who build fortifications and station their own soldiers, most of whom are hastily trained civilians and whose combat effectiveness is worrisome.

Although the spirit beasts that ran out of the forest were not strong, under the cover of night, accidents in which the spirit beasts injured or even ate people still happened from time to time.

As for letting soul masters guard them, don't even think about it. In the eyes of the nobles, they are just treasures. If they are placed in the wilderness, what if they are dissatisfied and are poached by people from other families?
This is not possible!I must be served by delicious food and drinks in the city~
As for the life and death of those ordinary people, it doesn't matter to them. If there is no one to do it, they go to the Tianhun Empire next door to buy slaves. In the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, it is a "serious" business, so there is no need to worry about no sellers.

The more threatening sea soul beasts are even more troublesome. Not only do the sea soul beasts crush the land soul beasts in terms of quality, but they also swarm in numbers.

As long as thousand-year-level soul beasts drag their families ashore to cause trouble, without the help of heavy soul guides on the city wall, it will be difficult for soldiers with an average soul power level of twenty or thirty to cause harm to them.

Xiao Zhengxin also thought about building watchtowers and setting up coastal defense artillery near the shore, but the harsh environment and high prices made him shelve the idea.

"Perhaps because the living space is threatened, the tides of beasts caused by sea spirit beasts have become more and more frequent recently. Thousand-year-old spirit beasts have attacked the city several times. Military expenditures have increased and public resentment has spread. Fortunately, this time there is a titled Douluo It will definitely be a lot better if you sit in charge, thanks to the Lord of the City." Xiao Zhengxin said with emotion.

In his opinion, Mingxue City's expenditures in recent years have been dominated by military expenditures. As long as consumption is reduced this time and the saved funds are used for people's livelihood, Huo Yuhao can gain a firm foothold among the people.

The two of them chatted and came to the city entrance. As soon as they stood still, a round figure appeared in front of them.This man was covered in fat and his head and body were almost round balls. He shouted to Huo Yuhao:
"Old Jiuhuo, I'm here to play with you."

As soon as he landed on the ground, the opponent's round belly was shaking up and down. Xiaobai, who had transformed into an arctic ice bear, was about to shout "uncle" loudly, but held back under Huo Yuhao's warning eyes.

"Old Bai, long time no see." Huo Yuhao said hello more naturally, pointed at Xiao Zhengxin and said: "This is Xiao Zhengxin, Mr. Xiao. He is currently my deputy. From now on, you will live in Mingxue City while I And when you happen to be away, you can ask Mr. Xiao for help."

"This is Bai Ji, just call me Senior Bai. We have been friends for many years. Knowing that I am weak, I am ready to come to Mingxue City to support me."

Xiao Bai's round face showed a naive smile. Before Xiao Zhengxin could say hello, he took his right hand with both hands and shook it a few times. He said: "You are so sweet, Mr. Xiao. I am Bai Ji. I will give you more in the future." Advice.”

"Ah! That." Xiao Zhengxin stared at Xiao Bai dumbfounded, looking flattered.

Huo Yuhao patted his forehead, feeling helpless as he looked at the smiling Xiao Bai and the nervous Xiao Zhengxin. The manners Xiao Bai learned at the Shenzhou base were disturbing here.

He patted Xiao Zhengxin on the shoulder and said: "Lao Bai has a simple temperament and is kind to others. He doesn't like to twist around. You will get used to it the more you come into contact with me in the future."

Xiao Zhengxin looked at Xiao Bai, who was extremely tall, and then at Huo Yuhao, who was swearing, and nodded blankly: "Hello, Senior Bai. You are polite, junior."

"That's it for the introduction. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it at home. I just called Teacher Xuan over to discuss the matter."

Huo Yuhao didn't give the two a chance to talk, mainly because he was afraid that "Looking for mom" would suddenly pop out of Xiaobai's mouth.When the three of them arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Xuan Ziwen and Snow Emperor also got up and had breakfast.

When Xiaobai saw Snow Emperor, he wanted to run over, but Snow Emperor glared hard like Huo Yuhao, and stood there like a primary school student, looking up at the stars and counting the stars.

Seeing this scene, except for Xuan Ziwen, who knew the inside story, and glanced at Snow Emperor, the others were stunned for a moment.

Knocking on the table, Huo Yuhao drew everyone's attention to himself and said, "Everyone, I have called you here to discuss the cooperation between Mingdetang and Mingxue City."

After saying that, Xuan Ziwen cooperatively took out a stack of documents and handed them to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Zhengxin.

Huo Yuhao saw it and naturally had no problem. The main thing was to let Xiao Zhengxin understand what happened.

After waiting for a moment, Xiao Zhengxin frowned and said, "City Lord, are the requirements for this project about the processing and production of clever parts too high?"

There are tens of thousands of orders for soul guide parts every month. Not to mention how difficult it is to process the unseen machines in the project, it is also a big problem to whom to sell such a huge sales volume.

The empire doesn't have that many soul masters to use soul guidance devices.

"Secret." Xuan Ziwen said, and immediately blocked Xiao Zhengxin's mouth.

These parts are naturally provided to Mingdetang. As long as these machines are assembled into the shell of the soul guide, Mingdetang will install the formation core and then transport it to the army together with the sealed milk bottle.

As long as we have these armaments, the disadvantage of a small number of soul masters in the Sun and Moon Empire will no longer exist, and ordinary soldiers will also have the ability to change the situation of the war.

The military power of the Sun and Moon Empire will completely crush the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and the difficult situation in the original work will not happen.

"Master Xiao, your task is to assist Mr. Xuan in completing the site selection and personnel recruitment of the factory. In order to ensure future expansion, the site must be large and not close to residential areas."

"Understood." Xiao Zhengxin replied.

"In addition, arrange a specific time. I want to give a public speech in the city tomorrow, so that as many people as possible can be present so that the matter can be explained clearly at once." Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Okay." Xiao Zhengxin hesitated, glanced at Xiao Bai next to him, and agreed bravely.

"Also, it is announced to the outside world that an exam will be held in Xuecheng tomorrow. Regardless of origin or nationality, as long as the results are excellent, you can enter the officialdom and show your ambitions."

Shameless to look at Xiao Zhengxin's admiring eyes, Huo Yuhao turned his head and silently apologized to the aborigines who might take him seriously.

Before the large forces in the far north could complete their transfer, they could only take advantage of the situation.
