One million was not an exaggeration. It was a real number.
Moreover, excluding the other villages and towns, just the population of Xuanhuang City alone had already reached a shocking figure of one million according to the statistics. In ancient times, even the capital of a dynasty had a population of several hundred thousand at most. It was rare for a capital to surpass or even reach one million. This was already a super large city. Xuanhuang Castle could accommodate such a large population.
One could imagine how large the area it occupied.
How large was the area?
"The larger the population, the harder it is to manage. Have there been many disputes recently?" Yi Tianxing never thought that such a large city would be peaceful. The possibility of conflict between people was always shocking. Even if they restrained each other, the chances of conflict were still quite high.
It would be abnormal if the world was at peace.
"Yes, indeed. Recently, there have been conflicts and quarrels in the city, especially between buyers and sellers. The chances of conflict are higher, making the task of Six Doors even more arduous. However, we are in a chaotic world after all. Everyone cherishes their current life. Even if there were quarrels, they would be more restrained, and no bloodshed occurred. It's still within our control. "
Zhang Yue quickly said, "Due to the arduous task, I made the decision to increase the number of constables in Six Doors. I hope that my lord will punish us. "
"It's fine. This is one of your rights. Moreover, I'm in seclusion. You should adapt to the situation. That's the best way to deal with it. What's wrong? If you don't even have the ability to adapt, then I'm really wrong. "
Yi Tianxing smiled and shook his head, saying nonchalantly.
"The more the population, the more disputes there will be. I suggest that we establish a new criminal organization and even formulate a complete law. It will be used to regulate the daily behavior of the people in the city. Only with the constraints of the law can morality be formed and civilization be born. "
Huang Chengyan suggested.
"There's no need to rush the criminal matters for now. We are now a city. Once we reach the level of a royal city, we can truly establish a dynasty. At that time, we will naturally have to establish a criminal law and formulate laws. We can start preparing now. Once we've perfected it, we can implement it. Most importantly, Xuanhuang Castle is still lacking true legalist talents. "
Regarding this, Yi Tianxing also felt helpless. The Legalists were the most suitable people to be in charge of the law and formulate criminal laws. Without such a talent by his side, he felt that he had to put in twice the effort for half the results. He had no idea where to start.
"My Lord, there's no need to worry. With the current reputation of Xuanhuang Castle, as long as they're in the vicinity, they'll definitely flock here. Any genius will have a heart that's unwilling to be left out, especially in this chaotic world where heroes are born. Those talented people also had their own ambitions. Since the lord was choosing the virtuous people, naturally, the virtuous people were also choosing the wise lord. I believe that Xuanhuang Castle is definitely not lacking in true talents, but they are still observing from the sidelines. If my lord's actions can convince them, naturally, a large number of talents will come to join us. "
Jia Xu said with a faint smile. His expression was extremely confident and certain.
"Could it be that the military advisor already knows that there are true talents residing in our Xuanhuang Castle?" Yi Tianxing's eyes flashed as a thought flashed through his mind. He asked directly.
"I've indeed found a few talents in the city. I've also personally met them and talked to them. They are indeed talented. However, from their words, I can tell that they have no intention of becoming officials immediately. They should still be observing. If my lord were to personally invite them, there's a high chance that they will become officials and fully contribute to Xuanhuang Castle. "
Jia Xu nodded and said.
"Alright. After the meeting, the military advisor will lead the way. I'll personally go and take a look. If they're truly talented, we must invite them to become officials no matter how harsh the conditions are. Talents are the foundation for growth. "
Yi Tianxing said with great joy in his heart.
This was naturally a joyous matter. Moreover, it could be considered a joyous matter.
"My lord, three months ago, thirty-six villages proposed to be promoted from villages to towns. My lord personally approved it. In the past three months, the villages have been promoted one after another. With the help and defense of the army in Xuanhuang Castle. Although there have been disasters, all of them have been suppressed. The casualties have been reduced to a minimum. The main body has not suffered too much damage. Now, there are thirty-six towns in the periphery. Moreover, a portion of the people have also begun to be separated and settled in these towns. "
Huang Chengyan spoke again.
At the same time, he also recounted the specific situation of these thirty-six towns as if he was familiar with them.
This allowed Yi Tianxing to understand the specific situation of the surrounding area in the shortest time possible.
The thirty-six towns were completely dependent on the foundation of Xuanhuang Castle in order to be promoted. The luck that was required for the promotion was also provided by Xuanhuang Castle. This kind of gift also made the relationship between these towns and Xuanhuang Castle even closer. It seemed that with a single thought, the status of these town leaders could be stripped.
The selection of the thirty-six towns was not done at random.
The final decision was made according to the geographical location and even the distance between each town.
If there was a map, it would be easy to see.
These towns were all centered around the Xuanhuang City, and there would be one after a certain distance between each other. The distance between the two towns was almost the same. Near each town, there were several, or even more than a dozen villages.
This was with Xuanhuang Castle as the center and the towns as the hubs. It would completely unite the villages and human settlements within a radius of ten thousand miles, forming a whole body that could effectively control everything in the surrounding area.
It could be said that this was a huge net.
These towns were the nodes.
They played an important role.
Once they grew, these places would become a kind of center, a core.
"The transportation formations in all the towns and villages have all been completed, and they have all been set up so that people can travel smoothly. The transportation channels are very stable. Through the transportation formations in our Xuanhuang Castle, we can easily reach any village within a radius of ten thousand miles. "
Lu shi also spoke up.
Once the teleportation formation was completed, it could be said that all of the villages and towns would be under his control, completely merging them into one. There was no need to worry about them being separated in the wilderness, making it difficult for them to contact each other. Their control over the surrounding area was directly increased by more than ten times.
"Great, Lu shi has made a great contribution."
Yi Tianxing was overjoyed and said without hesitation.
Following that, the others also spoke up and recounted some of the major events that had happened in the past three months.
According to the statistics, within a radius of ten thousand miles.
With Xuanhuang Castle as the center, there were a total of thirty-six villages. That's right, there were two hundred, three, and Fifteen villages. The total population registered in Xuanhuang Castle had already reached more than ten million people. This was a shocking number.
Based on the calculation that only one out of a hundred people would survive in the Eternal Continent, the number of people who had descended within a radius of ten thousand miles might have reached billions, but in the end, only tens of millions were left.
The terror of the Eternal Continent was evident.
.....
While the meeting was being held in Xuanhuang Castle. Outside the territory of Xuanhuang Castle. Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the middle of a huge mountain. The hole was pitch black, and terrifyingly deep. Furthermore, the hole twisted and turned, and there was a black aura swirling within it.
The mountain was huge.
When the first hole appeared.
Following that, more holes appeared one after another, covering the entire mountain. It looked like a beehive, and it struck fear into the hearts of those who saw it. It was as if some kind of terrifying monster was hiding in the hole.
The pitch-black hole seemed to be able to swallow everything. It gave off an invisible pressure.
They could not help but feel a trace of fear.
Roar!!
Strange roars could be heard in the cave. Those roars sounded terrifying. Moreover, it was not just one, but thousands of them. When they gathered together, it gave off a feeling of goosebumps.
Rumble!!
After a large number of holes appeared, after an unknown period of time, a terrible roar suddenly sounded. Then, they saw huge, ferocious and terrifying insects frantically rushing out of the holes.
These insects seemed to be very similar to the insects they had seen before. There were beetles with hard carapaces and huge bodies, larger than water buffaloes. When they moved, they exuded a cold aura of death. It gave people a sense of fear.
Some insects, as soon as they appeared, burrowed into the ground.
Some insects, running wildly on the ground, their legs as sharp as spears. They ran wildly on the ground.
Some insects actually separated their carapaces, spread their wings, and flew into the sky.
They were densely packed together.
A large number of insects swarmed out of the mountain like a tide.
Those holes seemed to be connected to a world full of insects.
A huge number of insects swept out, covering the sky and earth.
Rumble!!
Some insects hit the trees, and their hard carapaces caused the trees to collapse and break. Some insects waved their ferocious legs, moving as fast as lightning. Some insects emitted cold air, freezing the ground. Some insects spat out flames, setting the grass and trees on fire.
Everywhere it passed, it was a complete mess.
It was as if they had suffered a destructive blow.
"Insects, kill, kill these insects."
The Goblin Tribe, which was made up of tens of thousands of Goblins, heard the shaking of the ground and looked up. When they saw the swarm of insects, their expressions changed, and they all took up their weapons and started fighting.
However, tens of thousands of Goblins were attacked by the insects, and in just a few moments, all of the Goblins were engulfed by the densely packed insects and torn to pieces.
