Lord of all the people: Only I can summon the immortal troops

Zhang Lu handed the fairy soil to Ju Ming and asked him to pass it on to the elves who were still in the territory. After the matter came to an end for the time being, he should return to Newland City.

Liu Fan and the others had returned to their territory long ago, and now they were discussing going to the Chaos Demonic Sea to gather materials together.

Kong Xin and Zhu Qi needed materials to upgrade their territory to the fourth level, but Zhang Lu was eyeing the materials to upgrade their territory to the fifth level.

Unconsciously, the gap between him and his allies grew wider and wider.

After returning to Newland City, Zhang Lu summoned the civil servants and generals in Newland City. This time he entered the chaotic demon sea, mainly elites, so he planned to bring Hou Yi, Sun Wukong and Long Yi with him. Tu Xingsun was still guarding outside. city.

All the transformed heavenly soldiers were sent out to increase the defense strength of the three cities. These low-level soldiers had limited effect in a place like the Chaos Demonic Sea where high-level combat forces attacked each other, and the casualties were likely to be too high.

"Master Wen, I would like to ask you to take control of the affairs of the three cities while I am away."

Wen Zhong saluted and said with confidence: "Please rest assured, Lord, I will do my best."

"Yes." Zhang Lu nodded, feeling relieved that Wen Zhong was here.

However, Wen Zhong had something to report: "The military exploits in these battles have been sorted out. Several yellow scarf warriors and Taoists have reached the peak of the third level and have outstanding military exploits. The old minister proposed that the four most outstanding among them should be rewarded." He was promoted to general and served as the chief and deputy guards of Yunlin and Hailin City."

A guard does not necessarily need to be very powerful, but there is a difference between having one and not having one. More importantly, it is a kind of psychological comfort, which can establish a backbone for the soldiers in that city, which is equivalent to giving them a reassurance.

"Oh? Submit it to me for a look!"

Zhang Lu became interested in this. Things like military exploits are not so easy to sort out. Many rewarding matters need to be investigated and clarified. People cannot be faked, and credits cannot be omitted. After questioning a large number of soldiers, they sorted it out. Complete list.

Zhang Lu took the credit book and looked at it. Tang Guo was at the top of the list. This little girl had received several first-come bonuses. Being the first to conquer the city was indeed considered the first achievement.

The second place was not a Taoist boy, but a yellow scarf warrior named Liu Wei. This person was Zhang Lu, who was the first pregnant woman in the territory. He had won the most kills several times, and his strength had reached the peak of the third level.

The remaining two people are both Taoists. Since the difference in professional potential is too big, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban Warriors to surpass the Taoists.

Zhang Lu put the merit book on the table, thought for a while, and then said to the people below: "The first and second were promoted to the main generals to defend the city. Among them, Tang Guo was in charge of Yunlin City, Liu Wei was in charge of Hailin City, and the third Four went with them to the city as lieutenants.”

"Take my words to them. Defending the city will not last forever. If you practice hard, you may be promoted after your strength breaks through!"

Defending the city means that it is difficult to meet the enemy. If it is other professionals in this world, they would like to defend the city to facilitate their cultivation. However, they are soldiers under the lord, and it is much faster to upgrade through combat than through cultivation, so this kind of living in The lord's men actually don't.

Judging from the experience of the previous lords, there may even be situations where each other is unwilling to defend the city. After all, strength is the last word. If Tang Guo is now level 4 or even level 5, will Zhang Lu send her to defend the city?

So he wanted to make a rule. In addition to summoned characters, if you want to be promoted to an expedition general, you must first become a city defender general!

"As for the remaining people, they should be promoted in rank according to their military merit."

In addition to first achievements such as ascending first and killing the most enemies, there is also a way to advance through military ranks. As long as you do it long enough, you can use military ranks to become a general.

"Your lord is wise."

Wen Zhong took over the credit. It is a good thing for a lord or a monarch to have clear rewards and punishments, but it is difficult to maintain this kind of moral character. Once upon a time, King Zhou of Shang could be regarded as a wise king, but later he gradually lost his original intention and disappointed him. downright.

"Is there anything else you want to report? If not, let's leave."

Just when Zhang Lu was about to stand up, Yun Guang took two steps forward. He was considered a moderate official in the city lord's palace.

"Lord, I have captured a slave trader. You have said before that the sale of intelligent creatures is prohibited within the sphere of influence of the Fairyland. However, this is the third time that this person has been arrested for buying and selling slaves. We have no relevant information here. The law, so I would like to ask some advice, how should this person be dealt with?"

"The third time? Humph!"

Zhang Lu was a little angry. He posted this rule directly at the gates of three cities, but someone actually violated it three times, knowingly!

He could still tolerate what Yun Guang did in the past. After all, he adopted abandoned children. If he didn't raise them with his own hands, these children would starve to death.

However, there are some traffickers who specialize in abducting and capturing children who are good-looking or have high potential for profit, including elves, orcs and other races.

Because his city was newly built, some businessmen may not have known this rule until they arrived at the city gate. He also set a rule of not doing anything more than three times. Unexpectedly, in just a short time, someone broke it three times!

This is a blatant provocation to him, and he should be pulled out for a dog fight!

However, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a calm tone: "Take me to see it."

Others were a little unhappy when they saw Zhang Lu, and swallowed what they originally wanted to say. This world is a semi-slave and semi-feudal society. This kind of thing that seemed very normal in their eyes was very dissatisfied with this lord.

But the lord is the lord after all, and they have to follow the lord's preferences.

Yun Guang made a gesture of invitation, and then led the way. Zhang Lu and Wen Zhong Longyi walked behind. Nu Wan held Zhang Lu's hand, and they walked out of the gate of the city lord's palace together.

The people in the city could see the appearance of this group of people, but they were not afraid of Zhang Lu. Since Zhang Lu came to power, he had implemented many policies that benefited the people and lightened their burdens, so ordinary people loved Zhang Lu.

On the contrary, the nobles of the aristocratic families were very dissatisfied with Zhang Lu's increased taxes on them, so they all wished that Zhang Lu would be attacked by other forces, but now they chose to tolerate it under the pressure of force.

For this power to develop, currency must circulate. Currency is not important in the eyes of the government. What is important is the value created when currency circulates. After the currency is issued, how to recover the part that has not been circulated is very problematic. Zhang Lu based it on the proportion of income. The method of collection has been very merciful.

But for these nobles who are accustomed to collecting taxes based on head and land, this is harming their interests.

So when they walked to the place where they captured the businessman, the people were all around them and greeted enthusiastically, but the nobles stayed behind closed doors and hid in their homes without contact with Zhang Lu.
