I built a fairy city in troubled times

Chapter 1 Talent Improvement
Daqian Dynasty, deserted city.

[Name: Xia Ming]

[Affiliated force: Huangcheng]

[Subjects: one thousand three hundred and two people]

[Talent: 1+1 (ordinary level, lower talent)]

[Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm (10%)]

[Kung Fu: Emperor-level Kung Fu "Three Emperors Reflect the World" (gift package given by the system)]

"I actually traveled through time!"

Xia Ming looked at himself reflected in the clear river water and touched his face helplessly.

A sunny and handsome face.

Wearing a purple embroidered robe, he couldn't believe it now that he had become a Marquis of the Daqian Dynasty.

Yes, the original father was the Marquis of Huangcheng of Daqian. As the only son, he inherited the title after his father's death and became the new Marquis of Huangcheng. It was originally considered a success, but he didn't expect that after receiving the order, At that time, the emperor who was defeated directly ordered him to return to his fiefdom.

Everyone knows that the fiefdoms of the Marquis of Daqian are all outside the wilderness, and the title is just a symbol of honor and status. Most of the Marquises serve in the court, lead troops, or sit in the state capital. , Mu Shou Fang.

He was the first to return to the fiefdom.

The emperor's reason was that Xia Ming was in a high position at a young age and needed to gain experience outside. First, he would carve out a place for Da Qian, and then he would be worthy of his name.

After accepting the decree, the original owner collapsed. He originally thought that he could show off his talents after becoming a marquis, but who knew that he was actually sent away in disguise. The south of the deserted city faces the sea and is surrounded by mountains on both sides. There is only one road connecting Daqian, and monsters often appear. And now that rebels are rampant and wars are raging everywhere, there is no way to be safe in the imperial city outside. The most important thing is that although it is called Huangcheng, it is just a small village built by some surviving indigenous residents and has no defense.

If you go, what's the difference between going to death?

In desperation, he fell seriously ill on the way to Huangcheng under the imperial edict. When he arrived at Huangcheng, he died completely and was transported by Xia Ming.

After recalling the past, Xia Ming didn't have time to think about what he should do next.

A tall woman wearing a red dress, with snow-white skin and beautiful appearance slowly walked over. Her curvy figure exuded endless charm. She held a few red wild fruits in her hand and said, "Xia Ming, here The fruit is very sweet. You have just recovered from a serious illness and you cannot eat anything too greasy. Please try the fruit quickly!"

The woman's voice is very sweet.

There is doting in his eyes.

Hearing the sound, Xia Ming knew who was coming.
Chu Qinghuan, the daughter of Linjiang Hou Chu Heng, happened to be three years older than Xia Ming this year. The two were childhood sweethearts. This time, they were worried that Xia Ming would go on the road alone, so they sent him here.

Taking care of him along the way saved him from a lot of trouble.

Xia Ming took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was instantly filled with a sweet taste, filling his entire taste buds, which made him feel much better.

However, he was also stunned in place at the same time, because a data panel that was difficult for others to detect once again appeared in front of him.

[Name: Chu Qinghuan]

[Favorability: 90% (treat the host as a relative)]

[Skills: Earth-level high-grade "Lingbo Jue" and "Canglan Sword Technique"]

[Fate: Feng Ming Chang Tian (gold)]

[Cultivation:? (The host's cultivation level is too low to see clearly the existence that is three realms higher than himself)]

【talent:? (The host’s talent is too low and cannot clearly see characters whose talent is much higher than his own)]

Then, a large amount of information poured into Xia Ming's mind.

It turns out that this system can see anyone's attributes and their favorability. As long as the favorability reaches 60%, even if a preliminary superior-subordinate or friend relationship has been established, they will not betray easily. The higher the percentage, The higher the favorability, the higher the favorability. After reaching [-]%, it will basically decrease.

In terms of skills, the Chu family's "Lingbo Jue" is famous in Daqian. Otherwise, he would not be able to become a marquis of Daqian.

As for destiny, everyone's destiny is different. From low to high, it is divided into gray, white, cyan, red, purple, and after that, the top level is gold.

As long as you can accept the allegiance of people with cyan fates and above, you will receive rewards.

The nobler your destiny, the more generous the rewards you will receive.

Moreover, the more people there are in the fief, the higher his talent will be. For every thousand more people, his talent will increase by one point, and the subjects in the fief will increase by [-].

After understanding this, looking at Chu Qinghuan in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a burning look.

The other party, who was always known for being cold and aloof, didn't know whether he didn't care or didn't notice. Seeing him eating, he said happily, "You are so good. How can you not eat? Even though you are here, you are still the Marquis, Uncle Xia." I have left you with a lot of heritage. As long as you develop well, there is still some hope.

Moreover, you must not fall behind in your cultivation. Only when your cultivation level goes up can your body be strong.

If you fall, how will these people in the Hou Mansion live? "

When Xia Ming mentioned cultivation, he thought of Golden Finger again.

Yes, I still have a golden finger. As long as I develop well, I still have a chance.

This is a world where you can practice.

Dynasties arose, and there were many sects. There were strong men who could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, claiming their sect as their ancestors.

There is also a peerless genius who despises everything, is brave and diligent, and dares to fight with the cubs of mythical beasts.

At the same time, various races are competing, and the human race is not the only one.

A strong person can destroy a country, and a strong person can suppress an entire clan.

Cultivation is the foundation, and the official position is just a false name. Otherwise, how could he, a majestic marquis, be assigned just as he said he was assigned.

Xia Ming picked up a fruit and continued to eat it.

His body was lying on the grass by the river, his head resting on Chu Qinghuan's strong legs.

Feeling the fragrance passing through my nose, I really want to live like this for the rest of my life.

Chu Qinghuan gently combed his hair and said quietly again, "Xia Ming, the reason why you were sent here this time is because after the death of Uncle Xia, there is no strong person in charge of your mansion. It has been completely destroyed." Decline can be manipulated by others.

Also, before he passed away, Uncle Xia wrote to Your Majesty, asking him not to engage in debauchery, excessive extravagance, and disregard for the lives of the people. As a result, now I have many refugees everywhere and rebels everywhere! "

When Xia Ming said this, he could feel that Chu Qinghuan paused for a moment with his hand on top of his head, and then continued, "That's why His Majesty will hate your Huangcheng Hou Mansion. Uncle Xia is dead. He has no choice but to let you come." We are here to open up wasteland and be responsible for comforting and sheltering refugees from all over the place!"

Xia Ming didn't know what to say. The debt I owed made him seem to have nothing, but he still felt a bit cheated.

The field fell silent.

Xia Ming didn't know how to respond, and Chu Qinghuan seemed to be hesitating. After a moment, he bit his red lips and said, "Nowadays, we are petty-minded and overly interested in success. There has been chaos in Daqian. You can hold on here for a while. This kind of life will definitely not last long!" Xia Ming was indignant because he actually met a foolish king.

Then, he took a hard bite of the fruit in his hand.

At this time, Chu Qinghuan also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll explain everything clearly to you. Now that you are an adult, you must not be willful, so that I can leave with peace of mind!"

Remember, given the background of the Hou Mansion, as long as you are careful and don't show off, there is no problem in ensuring safety in this place! "

"You have to leave!" After Xia Ming heard what the other party said, he quickly sat up straight.

"Pfft!" Seeing how nervous he was, Chu Qinghuan laughed.

Then he patted him lightly on the face, "Why, you can't bear to leave me. Of course, I have to leave. Linjiang Marquis Mansion still has many things to deal with. I followed you this time just because I don't feel at ease. Now You’re feeling much better, and I’m leaving too!”

As he spoke, Chu Qinghuan also stood up and jumped onto the Dragon Blood Pegasus beside him. This was a mount of exotic beasts bred by Da Gan. It could travel five thousand miles a day and was very handsome.

Only the prince's house can ride it.

"When you have nothing to do, remember to write a letter. I'll wait for you!" After Chu Qinghuan finished speaking, he drove the BMW away into the distance. After a while, several more riders followed her to join her. He is the guard of Linjiang Hou Mansion.

After Xia Ming watched Chu Qinghuan leave, he walked towards his mansion.

The entire deserted city has no city walls or city guards. It is just a naturally formed village. In the middle of the village, there is a newly built mansion, which can be regarded as his new prince's mansion.

After entering the village, the villagers inside carefully looked at the new nobleman.

Afraid of any offense.

These people were skinny and poorly clothed.

One look at it and you can tell that there is no way to fill your stomach with food on weekdays.

However, what surprised Xia Ming was that the favorability scores of these people actually reached over 60%.

But in terms of fate, almost all of them have a gray fate of "grass in the wilderness".

At this moment, a group of people came over from a distance. They were the soldiers of the Hou Mansion. They were led by a man who was two meters tall, exuding a strong aura, wearing black scale armor and carrying a sword on his waist. A man with a long knife.

When Xia Ming looked over.

The other party also came to him, bowed and said in salute, "Master Marquis, in the morning, a group of refugees came to the entrance to the north of the city. They said they wanted us to take them in, but they couldn't even drive them away!"

[Name: Tielin]

[Favorability: 90% (surrendering to the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Golden Body Technique", "Shaking Sea Fist", "Breaking Saber"]

[Cultivation: Blood Moving Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (Mangniu crossing the mountain)]

[Talent: 5+0.1 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

After glancing at the data, Xia Ming nodded calmly. This was the deputy commander of the Hou Mansion's family troops. He was very powerful and was one of Xia Ming's current sources of support.

"How many people are there?"

"Your Majesty, there are more than 2000 people!"

Tie Lin said with some helplessness, in recent times, chaos has occurred frequently in the Daqian Dynasty, famines have continued in various places, and rebels have appeared frequently. In more serious places, they have spread to a whole county.

Therefore, a large number of refugees are gathering towards the wilderness. Although life here is more difficult, there is still hope to save their lives. However, if they encounter rebels, they will either be killed or be used as cannon fodder. No one will bury them even if they die. .

"Since everyone is here, let's take them in. We are short of people now anyway!" Xia Ming waved his hand and made a decision.

Since he wants to build a city, he naturally needs manpower.

Moreover, the most important thing is that as long as the population increases, your talents will increase. If there are a few people with high fortunes among the refugees, and you can make a fortune, you will naturally not refuse.

In the eyes of others, refugees are a burden, but in his eyes, they are simply delicious food.

"But Lord Marquis, we don't have much food."

"Then let people open up wasteland. This place is close to the sea. It is like spring all year round. The food can last for two seasons. As long as these people are more diligent, there will be no problem in having full stomachs!" Xia Ming directly interrupted Tie Lin.

Then, he seemed to think of something, "Does the Marquis have a grain transport team? Thirteen caravans, let them go out to buy grain and grass. When they came, didn't the court also allocate 10 taels of silver to us as the start-up capital for establishing the state capital?" Well, let’s buy the food first!”

10 taels of silver, if you want to build a state capital, it can only be heard as a joke. It is the same as pouring a cup of soil into the sea to fill the sea. But if you want to buy food and feed the refugees, it is not a small amount. .

What's more, the Hou Mansion is not given for free, it has been accumulated over the years.

As long as we can persist this year and there will be enough food in the fields next year, everything will be easy.

The most important thing now is to increase the population first, and then your talents will be able to increase.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Tie Lin did not dare to object to Xia Ming's words. As a retainer of the Hou Mansion, he was not only Xia Ming's elder, but also his servant.

Then, he took the people away.

Looking at the other person's leaving figure, Xia Ming continued walking towards the mansion.

When he just returned to the Hou Mansion, he felt that something seemed to have changed in him.

The ideas in my mind seem to be clearer, and my body is much more flexible.

The properties panel immediately opened.

[Name: Xia Ming]

[Affiliated force: Huangcheng]

[Subjects: 510 people (talent +0.1)]

[Talent: 2+2 (ordinary level, lower talent)]

[Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm (10%)]

[Kung Fu: Imperial Kung Fu "Three Emperors Reflecting the World"]

[Congratulations to the host, you have found a cyan subordinate, and you will be rewarded with the yellow-level high-grade military training method "The Formation-Breaking Sword Technique"]

"The talent has really improved!" Xia Ming was a little surprised.
