Hu Ming acted as the go-between, and the head of the Hu family, Hu Yinghua, successfully met with Mr. Dark Cloud.
Hu Yinghua, who had already made up his mind, saw Mr. Dark Cloud. The first thing he did was to ask for forgiveness, and the second thing he did was to ask for instructions about the Hu family's collective migration to Longbei County.
"His Majesty is magnanimous, and the rules he set have never changed. As long as you are loyal to His Majesty and abide by the rules of Chang 'an, anyone can settle down in Chang' an," Mr. Dark Cloud said calmly.
"Chaohe County is far away from Longbei County, and the Hu family has a large population, so it's a big target."
Hu Yinghua said respectfully, "Right now, the Eastern Tang is crazy, and they are persecuting people related to Chang 'an everywhere. They have set up many obstacles for people who want to go to Chang' an.
The Hu family has decided to give up our roots and family business in Chaohe and come to Chang 'an as soon as possible. We just want to ask you to take care of us. If we are blocked by the Eastern Tang, Chang' an will come to help us. "
He quickly added, "We won't let everyone in Chang 'an work in vain. We will definitely reward you generously."
Mr. Dark Cloud nodded slightly. "Okay. You can discuss the details with Hu Ming and report to me."
Hu Yinghua and Hu Ming were overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Dark Cloud."
After this matter was settled, the rest of the discussion was easy.
The Hu family abandoned their hometown of Chaohe County, which they had cultivated for many years, and came to Longbei County. Naturally, they hoped to settle down here as soon as possible.
The family business was big, and it naturally involved the issue of income from the industry.
Here, they had to face the competition from the Chen family, the Hanshan school, and the Perak Dynasty, who came first.
Mr. Dark Cloud did not make things difficult for the Hu family in this regard.
After the discussion was more or less done, Hu Yingjie cautiously asked, "Mister, may I see the other clansmen?"
Mr. Dark Cloud glanced at Hu Yinghua and Hu Ming.
"They offended Chang 'an, so they should be punished." Hu Yinghua hurriedly said, "The reason I am going there is precisely to admonish them according to the family rules."
Mr. Dark Cloud said calmly, "Hu Ming, lead the way."
Hu Yinghua was overjoyed.
He bid farewell to Mister Black Cloud, and then followed Hu Ming out of the Alpha Hall, all the way out of the city.
At first, Hu Yinghua was curious about the prison in Chang 'an, but it was not in the city.
But when he saw Hu Yingjie and the others repairing the road in the mountains, his jaw dropped.
Hu Ming sighed. He guessed that every cultivator who knew the truth would react the same way.
After the shock, he felt a chill down his spine.
After the Elder of the Lingxiao school, Hu Yinghua, the head of the Hu family, followed in his footsteps.
He finally adjusted his state of mind and went to see his seventh brother, Hu Yingjie, who was captured.
When the two brothers met, they naturally sighed again.
Although his brother was miserable, the head of the Hu family was relieved.
His brother's body was fine. He was not injured or tortured.
… That is, if being a coolie did not count.
The two sides chatted for a while. Hu Yingjie, who was still a prisoner, comforted his brother. "The temporary suffering is over. The family will definitely prosper again."
The head of the family, Hu Yinghua, secretly came to Chang 'an because his younger brother, Hu Yingjie, personally contacted and persuaded him.
So he was not surprised by Hu Yinghua's decision.
After encouraging each other, Hu Yingjie led the previously captured members of the Hu family to continue their work.
The head of the family, Hu Yinghua, said goodbye and left.
He came and left secretly, trying not to alert the outside world.
When he returned to Chaohe County, the Hu family's big move plan quietly began.
In the Daming Palace in Chang 'an, Zhang Dongyun was in a good mood.
With more subordinates at his disposal, he could relax more and have more time to slack off. No, more time to focus on his own cultivation.
The days passed, and the Eastern Tang outside became more and more violent.
The royal family led many forces to clean up the areas outside Longbei County.
Longbei County was as peaceful as a paradise, but everyone in Chang 'an could feel that it was just the last calm before the storm.
And a certain governor surnamed Zhang secretly hoped that the storm would come more violently.
In this way, he could earn a lot of guardian experience points.
However, compared with more than 4,000 guardian experience points, Zhang Dongyun now paid more attention to construction experience points.
After the efforts of the two major academies in the north and south of the city, many private schools, and many teachers, the illiteracy rate in Chang 'an dropped rapidly every day.
Finally, one day, it reached the standard of less than 10%.
Zhang Dongyun also received the long-awaited system prompt.
[The illiteracy rate of the governor's subjects has dropped to less than 10% and is stable. The cultural and educational achievements in the city are remarkable. The governor has completed construction task 4.2 and received 1,000 experience points to upgrade.]
Zhang Dongyun secretly cheered and then refreshed the task list.
[Construction task 4.3 — please preliminarily establish your Craftsmanship Center and network.]
Zhang Dongyun looked and nodded slightly.
The so-called Craftsmanship Center did not only include smelting and blacksmithing, but also included all skilled craftsmen.
At the same time, it was an organization with management and leadership, overall planning, innovative research, and even teaching supervision functions.
In terms of functions, it was very complete and very powerful.
But on the other hand, it was not easy to build on the initial scale and get on the right track.
Zhang Dongyun thought about it as he first landed the building in the city.
He had left enough open space around the original site of the Daming Palace in the city.
So, the citizens of Chang 'an once again saw a shining golden palace appear out of thin air and fall from the sky.
On the plaque outside the palace's courtyard, golden light flowed and outlined the words "Hall of Works".
At the same time, Mr. Dark Cloud in the Tianshu Hall gave the order to recruit craftsmen from all over the city.
There were many similar people in the city at the moment.
However, the number of skilled craftsmen was limited for the time being.
The relatively outstanding ones were all blacksmiths or weapon craftsmen.
A considerable number of them were martial artists of various sects.
Many martial artists smelted and forged their own weapons in order to achieve the best results. Therefore, besides medicine, most martial artists, especially those who needed weapons, were excellent weapon craftsmen.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected by Zhang Dongyun, was still temporarily in charge of the Hall of Works.
In fact, he already had a suitable candidate in mind to be in charge of the Hall of Works, but that person was not in Chang 'an at the moment.
He didn't need to take the initiative to mention it. Someone would do it for him …
"If only Brother Chen were here."
Wen Hu, a disciple of the Dahe Longmen, looked at the Hall of Works and muttered to himself, "He must like it here. He must be like a fish in water."
Mr. Dark Cloud secretly smiled when he heard that.
The Brother Chen that Wen Hu mentioned was not a member of the Chen family, but a fellow disciple of his in the Dahe Longmen.
His name was Chen Yu.
The name was exquisite, but the person was a big man. His talent in martial arts was average, but he was born with a pair of skillful hands and a good brain.
He was best at all kinds of mechanisms and machinery, all kinds of craftsmen skills, and even metal smelting. His attainments were at the peak of perfection, and he deserved to be called the number one person in the Dahe Longmen.
The martial arts of the Dahe Longmen were passed down from generation to generation. There was no lack of masters in the sect who were good at forging weapons.
But even the works of these Grand Cultivators could be improved when they were melted down in Chen Yu's hands. That was why everyone in the Dragon Gate praised him.
Wen Hu used to mention Chen Yu's deeds when others were forging weapons.
Zhang Dongyun took it to heart after hearing that.
Now that the Hall of Works was built, Wen Hu couldn't help but think of him again.
Mr. Dark Cloud, who was projected by Zhang Dongyun, heard him mention Chen Yu again, but he pretended not to hear and didn't say anything.
Sure enough, Wen Hu thought of it himself.
"Mister …" Wenhu asked tentatively, "I have Senior Brother Chen. His methods are exquisite, and he is proficient in all kinds of craftsmanship. Now that Chang 'an has established a Hall of Heavenly Works, I wonder if I can invite him to come?"
"Yes."
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently.
Wen Hu couldn't help but be overjoyed. "I'll send a message back to the sect right away."
He was a little excited and pointed at the Hall of Works. "Brother Chen alone is stronger than everyone here combined!"
Mr. Dark Cloud's mood didn't change at all. "I'll believe you for the time being, but …"
He looked at Wen Hu expressionlessly. "Is this person willing to be loyal to Chang 'an?"
Wen Hu opened his mouth and was suddenly at a loss for words. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "I … I don't know what he thinks …"
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "Then there's no need to talk about it."
"I'll contact the sect right away and contact Brother Chen. Senior, please give me a chance." Wen Hu pleaded.
Mr. Dark Cloud didn't change his expression. "Go."
Wen Hu immediately took his leave.
But the news that came later was depressing.
The Eastern Tang royalty paid special attention to the communication between Chang 'an and Dahe Longmen and set up a heavy blockade.
The letters sent from Chang 'an to Dahe Longmen were basically intercepted and difficult to pass.
Shang Jie and Wen Hu, who were in Chang 'an, both felt great pressure.
The Eastern Tang royalty might make a move on Dahe Longmen.
If the letters couldn't be sent, Chen Yu naturally couldn't come over.
Fortunately, without him, the basic structure of Zhang Dongyun's Palace of Works had been laid out for the time being.
If Chen Yu was really talented, there would be room for him to show off in the future. Under his lead, the Palace of Works could climb to a higher peak.
Right now, it was enough to satisfy Zhang Dongyun, or the most basic requirements of the System.
[The initial structure of the craftsmen's organization and network in the city has been completed. The City Lord has completed construction task 4.3 and received 500 experience points to upgrade.]
[Construction task 4.4: The number of cultivators in the city is currently low. The City Lord, please increase the number of cultivators. There is no restriction on the path of cultivation. The number of cultivators must reach 1% of the total population of Chang 'an.]
[Note: Do not use any shortcut to help the seedlings grow.]
Zhang Dongyun looked at the System's mission description and almost cursed.
What does it mean by no shortcuts?
What does it mean by no shortcuts?
Does it mean that I can't use the power of Invincible City to forcibly increase people's cultivation?
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun was so angry that he leaned back.
This mission was not designed by him when he was designing the game on the Blue Planet in his previous life.
It was automatically generated by the System in this world.
However, in terms of making things difficult for the users, it was in the same vein as him, the person who originally designed the game …
Lousy producers!
Zhang Dongyun cursed, but he didn't know who he was cursing at.
At this moment, he could only calm down and think carefully about how to complete this new construction task.
According to the difficulty of this task, after completing it, he should be able to increase the experience points of the construction task to more than 4,000.
