Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 487: The New Structure of Shuangqing Mansion
"Sir, this is the latest list of independent cultivators. There are more than 40% more people than the one from half a month ago."

Cui Mingsheng handed a list to Yang Qian with a big smile on his face. This was also the first time he had seen his master in the past half month.

Yang Qian took the list, flipped through it briefly, and put it down. He had no interest in the names in it and was too lazy to look through it page by page.

He asked directly: "Tell me, how many independent cultivators are there who have started at the Jindan stage?"

"In reply to your Excellency, there are currently 25 registered Jindan Realm cultivators, all of whom have voluntarily joined Zhenshan Camp. According to your previous instructions, Zhenshan Camp is currently organized into teams of ten people, and those who are not organized will be temporarily assigned to the government office.

All resources have been distributed according to your wishes. For the time being, the atmosphere in Zhenshan Camp is very good. Everyone is familiar with each other and has begun to study joint attack drills to increase their combat power. There is no need for others to remind them. "

"Where's the camp? Have you asked anyone to check it out?"

Cui Mingsheng said quickly, "I have been there. I personally went there on a thousand-mile beast. We tentatively decided to go to Yuzhu Forest. It is the closest to the city. It also has the best geographical conditions, and is suitable for building stone houses using local materials. And according to several Zhenshan Camp captains who were in the Jindan realm, Yuzhu Forest is the most beautiful place with the most spiritual energy in Shuangqing Prefecture."

"Thousand-mile beasts? Haha, are they the ones I brought back from the Wanli Bamboo Sea? Have you found a way to feed them?"

"Yes, sir. Among the recruited independent cultivators, there are two in the Qi training stage who used to work as errand boys in the immortal sects outside and fed the Thousand Mile Beast. Now they are the ones taking care of it, and the situation is not bad."

The Qianli Beast was found by Yang Qian on his way back after he destroyed Chansi Cave and Feiyun Valley. Judging from the accessories on its neck, it should belong to the thieves of Feiyun Valley. There are four in total, and now they have become Yang Qian's trophies and are being fed in the stables behind the government office. After the camp of Zhenshan Camp is completed, it will also be moved there.

"Just send as many as ten teams first, and keep the rest in the government office for observation. Make sure that all the independent cultivators have a relatively clean foundation, at least they cannot have any connection with evil ways or demons.

At the same time, release more news about Zhenshan Camp, especially the treatment in Zhenshan Camp, which must be made clear.

In addition, after entering the camp, the rules must be followed. There is no special treatment. The rules of the army and government offices are the same for the people in Zhenshan Camp. What should be followed must be followed, without exception.

If someone breaks the rules, they should be killed or punished. There can also be rewards and punishments, and anyone who reports or helps to arrest someone can receive a reward.

Yang Qian’s idea was to integrate the scattered forces in Shuangqing Prefecture.

These evil things must be eradicated, and the only way to achieve that is to kill them.

But bandits are different. At the beginning, bandits were almost not bandits, but independent cultivators from all over the Hongwu Dynasty. They gathered together because of hatred or crimes and gradually became bandit gangs.

Strictly speaking, it is difficult to eliminate all thieves and bandits simply by killing them.

Because of Shuangqing Prefecture's special geographical location, wandering cultivators who wanted to escape disaster from other places in the Hongwu Dynasty would continue to come here.

As time goes by, there will be more and more independent cultivators. If we allow this to continue, the final result will be the resurgence of bandit gangs. This is inevitable.

It’s not like Yang Qian wants to raise thieves and then kill them to gain experience. Wouldn’t that just bring harm to ordinary people?
Therefore, Yang Qian’s idea was to intervene in advance with these independent cultivators who came to Shuangqing Prefecture.

It can't be that all the wandering cultivators who come here are vicious and cruel, right?

We have killed almost all the vicious ones in Baiguling and other places. If there are any fish that have escaped, we can bring them in first and then slowly pick them out and kill them. The key is to form a model where independent cultivators manage independent cultivators. In this way, Yang Qian, the strongest combat force in Shuangqing Prefecture, can be released. And he will have an extra real-time combat force at the cultivator level, which will take much longer to form than Jiang Yun's Tianhan Sect.

And the Tianhan Sect is a good card, but Yang Qian doesn't want to have only this one card in his hand, the more the better.

Moreover, the reason why these leaderless cultivators gathered together was because of Yang Qian's killing record and reputation. This kind of force would naturally obey Yang Qian's command first, and it would be easier to control than the Tianhan Sect.

Moreover, independent cultivators can directly participate in the various affairs of the government and military offices of Shuangqing Prefecture. It is also more convenient to use.

Yang Qian also hinted to Juan that Shuangqing Prefecture could become an excellent venue for the dynasty to train combat power at the cultivator level, and the dynasty could allocate more resources to it.

For this reason, Yang Qian specifically gave the position of deputy commander of Zhenshan Camp directly to Juan.

This action not only puzzled Cui Mingsheng, Yang Qian's most popular person and chief steward, but also surprised Juan himself.

It stands to reason that the power of Zhenshan Camp is extraordinary just for its gimmick. Once it is established, it will be a huge force that is of great importance to the entire Hongwu Dynasty. Yang Qian is actually willing to take the initiative to share some of his power to take care of the emperor of the Hongwu Dynasty, instead of expanding it himself?
Juan was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to the imperial city.

Cui Mingsheng asked Yang Qian indirectly what his intention was.

Yang Qian’s answer to Cui Mingsheng was: It’s just a knife. It doesn’t matter whose name is engraved on it. What matters is who holds the knife.

Cui Mingsheng quickly understood. This was Yang Qian trying to avoid trouble. No matter what, Yang Qian was a special case among the dignitaries of the Hongwu Dynasty, and he was different from everyone else.

Other people, including the power that the emperor cares about, may not be a big deal in Yang Qian's eyes. What Yang Qian cares about should be a force that can stand firm. As long as he has this force, he doesn't mind putting on the cloak of the Hongwu Dynasty.

Cui Mingsheng understood that Yang Qian wanted to use the resources of the Hongwu Dynasty to build up his own power.

But what did Yang Qian want?

The powerful one?
Or should we establish a monastic force similar to the Immortal Sect in Shuangqing Prefecture?

Or is there any other purpose?
In fact, Cui Mingsheng's guesses were basically correct. But Yang Qian himself hadn't thought about the longer term. For the time being, he just hoped to have a stable enough environment so that he could have more cards in his hand.

Otherwise, you can't just give away all of Shuangqing Prefecture's resources, especially the secret realms and ruins, to others, right?
After chatting with Cui Mingsheng for a long time, Yang Qian was very satisfied with Cui Mingsheng's progress.

Recently, Yang Qian has been healing his wounds while sorting out his experience from the fight with Jiang Yuhe. He is also thinking about how to proceed on his cultivation path.

Handling the internal affairs and overall direction of Shuangqing Mansion is the foundation. What is more important is how Yang Qian will handle the relationship between himself and the Immortal Alliance in the future. After all, he is still an inner disciple of the Five Thunder Palace.

Yang Qian remembered the kindness of the Five Thunder Palace, and he also remembered the things that the Five Thunder Palace had hidden from him.

I guess they will find him after the Tianmu Secret Realm in the Wulei Palace is over.
