Chapter 754

In the Giant Deer Territory not far from the Great Rift Abyss.

There was a cave where strange howls could be heard from time to time.

Compared to half a year ago, the number of cocoons formed by the white silk threads had reached a level that made one's scalp go numb. They were like silkworm pupae, densely packed together in the cave.

One of them was hanging upside down on the top of the cave. This cocoon was extremely large. It seemed that if it was too small, it would not be able to contain its huge power.

Lightning flashed from time to time.

Directly below the cocoon, Yue 'er was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. Between her and the cocoon, there were invisible soul threads leading them. Surrounding these soul threads were mysterious runes that were slowly injected into Yue' er's body, accompanied by drops of energy-like things.

Yue 'er's little face, which was full of pain, sometimes showed a strange pleasure. She was in pain, but at the same time, she was enjoying it.

Around her body was the astonishing power of lightning. It was a force field composed entirely of lightning, infinitely close to the Law Domain.

"What is this? Why didn't you let me have it earlier … "

A strange flush appeared on her little face. She raised her slender neck and moaned faintly. "Gongsun Boyue, you have such great power, but you don't know how to make good use of it. If Yue 'er was you, Yan Li, that bastard, would have died long ago."

"Let go … me … little whore …" A roar came from the cocoon intermittently.

Yue 'er said disapprovingly, "If you knew how to make good use of it, how could you fall into Yue' er's hands? But don't worry, Yue 'er won't kill you. I will turn you into a puppet that only listens to Yue' er's orders. After all, Yue 'er doesn't have a single expert at your level. "

"Let go … I … I promise you …" A pleading voice came from the cocoon.

"I will let you go." Yue 'er smiled like a flower. "When I master all your techniques, of course I will also have your cultivation."

After saying that, she left, leaving Gongsun Boyue in the cocoon wailing miserably.

… …

The Town of Beginnings was now like the Peach Blossom Village of the Giant Deer Territory. The strong order itself was a guarantee of survival. Here, you didn't have to worry about being killed on the street at any time because the law enforcers were stricter to criminals than the Dragon Emperor Sacred Court.

As the saying goes, strong medicine is needed for a serious illness. If you wanted to make a living in the Town of Beginnings and enjoy peace and happiness, you had to abide by the rules here. Otherwise, sorry, it wouldn't matter if you were here or not.

Of course, behind the strong order was a strong power.

Since the unrest was suppressed by lightning a few months ago, no one dared to underestimate the Town of Beginnings.

Ji Zhiyuan put down her brush and rubbed her forehead.

Yuchi Zhenjin presented the last memorial to Ji Zhiyuan. "My lord, this is the last crucial proposal. You can't leave until you make a decision."

"Read it to me." Ji Zhiyuan said to Yue 'Deer Ji Heart.

Anyone who didn't sleep or rest for half a month to deal with these trivial things would not be better than her.

The Town of Beginnings had only just begun. From the establishment of laws, the dispatch of personnel, rewards and punishments, salaries, disputes, murders, and theft, to the restoration of farmland, weaving, papermaking, and so on, it could be said that the Town of Beginnings had reached the stage where it had to personally attend to everything.

When she was the Emperor, she didn't have to worry about these things.

However, after going deep into the grassroots, she found that many of the decisions she made in the past were not necessarily correct. She could consider many things from different perspectives. This was an unexpected gain.

Yuchi Zhenjin said, "The permanent population of the Town of Beginnings has exceeded 200,000, and it is still growing. The personnel, workshops, and fields within a radius of 500 miles have all been put into operation. We can't afford any more people."

"How can this be?" Ji Zhiyuan frowned. "Can a peaceful life make them turn over a new leaf?"

"Not all of them are loafers from the Giant Deer Realm." Yuchi Zhenjin said helplessly, "There are many who can't live on outside. They heard that we provide food, drink, and support here, so they naturally came to seek shelter."

"If only we had a hunting ground here." Ji Zhiyuan sighed softly.

Yuchi Zhenjin's eyes shone. "Are you seriously considering this matter?"

"Do you think it's funny?" Ji Zhiyuan said.

"It's not funny," Yuchi Zhenjin said.

"That's right," Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yuchi Zhenjin stroked his beard happily, then said seriously, "The more people there are, the stronger they are. There are more than 80 masters in the Martial Arts Training Yard, but providing for them is the limit. The only thing we can do now is to close the gate and stop accepting people. The pressure will naturally be relieved. "

"No," Ji Zhiyuan said.

"Why?" Yuchi Zhenjin was even more delighted.

"That would go against the original intention of building this town." Ji Zhiyuan said, "I believe that most of the people who come here are poor people with nowhere to go. How can we keep them out?"

"Then, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" Yuchi Zhenjin said.

"Cultivate more arable land and expand the industry." Ji Zhiyuan stood up. "The former requires a lot of manpower. I'll make a new rule here. Anyone who cultivates land on their own will not have to pay taxes. The land is their own, and the government cannot interfere."

"Sir, please think twice!" Yuchi Zhenjin's expression changed slightly. "This law has a far-reaching impact. Once it becomes mainstream, how can the Town of Beginnings remain intact? Isn't it equivalent to dividing the country?"

"It's not ours in the first place. We want others to cultivate it and then take it for ourselves. How can there be such logic in this world?" Ji Zhiyuan said.

Yuchi Zhenjin said, "The powerful armed forces of the Town of Beginnings ensure the safety of their lives when they cultivate and the safety of their property after the cultivation. While they are protected, it's reasonable for them to contribute some labor. We can exempt them from taxes, but the land must not be privately owned. "

Ji Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, we'll follow the old rules and exempt them from taxes. The government will be responsible for issuing the land deeds. They can also be bought and sold. We'll give them maximum freedom."

Yuchi Zhenjin heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Sir, you're wise."

"As for the latter, you and Wei Ran will discuss it on your own. Travel and business groups, if possible. Fortunately, King Wei is quite kind to us," Ji Zhiyuan said.

"That's also because you made the right decision," Yuchi Zhenjin said with a smile.

Then, he became serious, which was rare for him. "Sir, it's time to make a decision."

"What decision?" Ji Zhiyuan walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

Yuchi Zhenjin said in a serious tone, "What you're doing has seriously crossed the Holy Dynasty's bottom line."

"What am I doing?" Ji Zhiyuan asked.

"Establishing laws and systems," Yuchi Zhenjin said meaningfully. "Since ancient times, there's no such thing as' one country, two systems'. Although the Town of Beginnings is small, it's already in the shape of a country. The Holy Dynasty has given up on Giant Deer Region, but that doesn't mean it can tolerate others building a country. "

"What do you think, Sir?" Ji Zhiyuan asked.

"It's the right time," Yuchi Zhenjin said, "If we don't make a decision, the people's hearts will scatter. When that time comes, there will be immeasurable chaos. Right now, at least half of the people think that you're the true ruler of the world. "

"Half …" Ji Zhiyuan chewed on this ambiguous number.

Yuchi Zhenjin continued, "Don't underestimate this number. Since ancient times, there are very few kings who can truly live up to the expectations of the people. Moreover, with the Holy Dynasty above us, the Town of Beginnings has no advantage at all. Even so, you should be proud that half of the people still support you. "

"Do we have to fight if we want to survive?" Ji Zhiyuan murmured.

"History has given us the answer," Yuchi Zhenjin said.

"If that's the case …" Ji Zhiyuan suddenly turned around and stared at Yuchi Zhenjin. "Yuchi Zhenjin, listen up!"

"Yes, Sir!" Yuchi Zhenjin put his hands in his sleeves and bowed deeply.

Ji Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "I'll leave the matter of building an army to you."

"Yes!" Yuchi Zhenjin knelt down. "Greetings, Sir."
