Previously, he had only accumulated 4,100 Guardian Experience Points.
Wang Cong, a Seventh Realm cultivator who practiced the Green Jade Toad Transformation, provided another 500 Guardian Experience Points.
Currently, he had a total of 4,600 Guardian Experience Points. There was still a long way to go before he reached his target of 7,000.
He only needed 900 Guardian Experience Points for Construction Experience Points. Based on the quality of the current missions and the corresponding rewards, he should be able to reach the target after completing one more mission.
Master Zhang rubbed his palms together and refreshed the system character list.
[Construction Mission 6.4 — The city is expanding rapidly, and the population is increasing rapidly. In reality, there is a need to guard the border. The initial law enforcement department is not suitable for continued management. City Lord, please further divide the law enforcement and border troops in the city.]
After Zhang Dongyun read it, he smiled smugly. Then, his smile disappeared.
He had been preparing to set up troops for a long time.
At present, he had already set up a few troops based on the surrendered Tang Army soldiers.
Because the troops were treated well, many young and strong men in the four counties under the rule of Chang 'an had joined the army.
Logically speaking, this mission just happened to fall into Master Zhang's hands. Just like when he was preparing for the Tiansheng Palace's medical network, he could just skip it.
But now, the System obviously did not think that Chang 'an's current situation was up to standard.
'Maybe the Divine Punishment Palace, which is used for law enforcement, is not complete yet …' Zhang Dongyun thought to himself.
Looking at the character description in the System, it was not only about the border troops, but also about the security issues after the city expanded.
Although Master Zhang liked to slack off, at present, whether it was His Majesty or his projection of Mr. Dark Cloud, they were both highly respected in the city.
Under their deterrence, no one dared to cause trouble in Chang 'an.
However, as more and more people came to the city, more and more cultivators from various sects came to the city. Some small conflicts continued.
Recently, the Divine Punishment Palace had a lot of 'business'.
Zhang Dongyun fell into deep thought.
He set the rules, and everyone followed them conscientiously.
But because he was too lazy, he did not set many rules …
Although he had the final right to interpret, it was inevitable that the rules that were too vague would cause disputes.
Also, he was too lazy to panic if he or Mr. Dark Cloud had to explain …
As Zhang Dongyun pondered, he projected a group of subordinates from the Heaven Punishment Palace that Mr. Dark Cloud had gathered.
Currently, Zhang Chong, Han Zhe, Wen Hu, and the others from the Dahe Longmen were in charge of the Divine Punishment Palace.
He had given it to Wen Hu because the Dahe Longmen had not yet entered the city. Wen Hu had few disputes with others in the city, so it was easier for him to handle matters impartially.
Later, he handed it over to Zhang Chong, Han Zhe, and the others because of their cultivation strength.
Of course, one of the reasons was that the Dahe Longmen had high moral standards.
But in the end, this was the result of Master Zhang trying to save trouble.
Logically speaking, Dahe Longmen was also a part of Chang 'an, so this was not appropriate.
At the very least, it was not suitable for their family to be the only one in power.
There were no problems at the moment, but that was all for now.
In the long run, they needed to make adjustments early.
Blood Shadow, Purple Sun, and Gu Hechuan were relatively suitable. They were all lone wolves and did not have many connections.
Although Gu Hechuan was from the Green Cloud Temple, he had already betrayed his master. In the future, there was no need to worry about him having any connections with the Green Cloud Temple.
As long as they were in the city, the two old devils did not have to worry about losing control.
However, Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan were traitors after all. They had just gotten rid of their status as coolies.
It would be suspicious if they were to immediately take on the responsibility of law enforcement.
With Zhang Dongyun endorsing them, of course, there was no problem, but there was no need for that.
As time passed and they made more contributions to the city, the color of their former prisoners would gradually fade. When the time came, success would naturally follow naturally.
As for Blood Shadow, he was doing pretty well as the head of the secret service in Idle Sky Hall. He could continue working for now, and they could consider making adjustments later.
With the Old Devil around, Purple Sun, Gu Hechuan, and the others would keep an eye on him first.
For the time being, the Dahe Longmen would take on the tasks of Heaven Punishment Hall. Later, when they had more manpower, they wouldn't have to worry about manpower like now.
Seeing that Gu Hechuan, Purple Sun, Green Cloud Villa's Villa Lord Yun Mo, and the others had all regained their freedom and submitted to Chang 'an, and were gradually gaining status in Chang' an, many of the captives were secretly tempted.
It was just that many of them had misgivings.
For example, Mirror Moon Tower, the He family, the Zheng family, and so on …
They still had family foundations, and were currently in the territory of the Eastern Tang dynasty.
If they completely bowed their heads to Chang 'an and then turned on them, they might invite the revenge of the Eastern Tang dynasty.
Thus, many of them were hesitant.
They were already very willing, but in the end, they couldn't say it out loud.
Some of them were puzzled and envious of Green Cloud Villa's Villa Lord, Yun Mo.
They wondered why he had surrendered to Chang 'an so easily.
Did he not care about Green Cloud Villa anymore?
Of course Yun Mo cared.
Moreover, he was also concerned about the safety of Green Cloud Villa.
Fortunately, the tasks Chang 'an had given him were relatively secretive, and the news wouldn't spread.
Therefore, the Eastern Tang only contacted Green Cloud Villa and quickly contacted Yun Mo, who was nominally traveling outside, to come back as soon as possible.
The show wouldn't be exposed in a short period of time.
Zhang Dongyun knew exactly what those prisoners were thinking.
He didn't force these people to work for him. In any case, they were doing a good job as coolies now.
As for their worries, after Chang 'an completely conquered the Eastern Tang, all problems would no longer be a problem.
Speaking of which …
Zhang Dongyun took a deep breath.
There was less than a month left in Invincible City's one-year period.
He had to find Yang Li as soon as possible.
The idiots from the Eastern Tang had forced Yang Li to escape, but now they weren't sure of his whereabouts.
Fortunately, Zhang Dongyun and Shen Herong thought of a way.
They came up with the idea, and the Eastern Tang came up with the manpower.
The two enemies, who were constantly at war, actually worked together in private to target "Celestial Wolf" Yang Li.
Zhang Dongyun wasn't the only one who gave the idea to the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Every time there was a new tension in the Eastern Tang's search for Yang Li's whereabouts, they would secretly hand it over to Chang 'an.
It wasn't that Zhang Dongyun had bribed the people from the Eastern Tang Secret Pavilion, but that the King of Tang had personally ordered them to do so.
Of course, on the surface, everyone seemed to be working well together, but in reality, they didn't have any good intentions.
They were just using the other party to find Yang Li as soon as possible.
Everyone wanted to catch him, so they worked together.
Before they caught him, of course, they would work together intimately.
The tense situation on both sides didn't affect the cooperation in private.
But when they really wanted to catch Yang Li, whether they could still be as harmonious as they were now was another matter.
They all wanted him.
Then, it would depend on their own abilities.
Zhang Dongyun let out a long breath.
For the time being, he didn't know Yang Li's whereabouts, so he didn't think too much about it.
The captives from the Mirror Moon Tower, the He family, and the others should all go back to work first.
Zhang Dongyun now had to deal with another batch of new captives.
They were the people from the Icefire Valley.
Compared with the other captives, the Icefire Valley was special in that they weren't captured after entering Invincible City.
Instead, it was Ao Kong and Shen Herong who came on behalf of Chang 'an City and then swept the Icefire Valley clean.
Ao Kong and Shen Herong were overshadowed in front of them.
The Icefire Valley might not know them, but there were too many people. After the news spread, it was hard not to doubt the real identities of Ao Kong and Shen Herong.
Therefore, Zhang Dongyun didn't mix them with the other captives, but found a place for them to be locked up alone and find something to do.
As for what to do, it was naturally very simple.
Even if they didn't directly participate in the construction of Chang 'an, they could still help Chang' an earn construction funds.
Although the Chang 'an Weapon Factory had snatched the market and sales in terms of refining weapons, the Icefire Valley's refining skills were always extraordinary.
In this case, everyone would change places and continue to do their old jobs.
Zhang Dongyun specially opened a place between the third and second outer walls of Chang 'an City, far away from the Chang' an Weapon Factory. It was not in contact with the outside world, so the people from the Icefire Valley could live and work here.
All the materials needed for refining were airdropped to them by Master Zhang.
Guan Hao, Sun Fangyuan, and the others naturally didn't want to be manipulated by Zhang Dongyun.
But under the oppression of the Invincible City system, they had no choice but to obediently follow Zhang Dongyun's instructions and work hard.
Seeing that the Second Weapon Factory was also in production, Master Zhang nodded in satisfaction.
In this way, in terms of production, Chang 'an's weapons had completely stabilized the position of the leader in the surrounding areas. They were sold to the three dynasties of Northern Qi, Western Zhou, and Eastern Tang.
The Shang Jie had even started to plan for further sales.
The entire Chang 'an was becoming more and more prosperous.
Taking the initiative to attack and destroy the Icefire Valley also brought about other chain reactions.
To the southeast of Longbei County, to the west of Yunzhong County, and to the east of Longnan County was Qingyue County under the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
This had always been the frontier of the Eastern Tang Dynasty's blockade.
Because Chang 'an had attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty from the north, the Eastern Tang Dynasty's blockade of Chang' an had been relaxed.
Originally, under the pressure of the Tang Dynasty army, some people in Qingyue County took the initiative to rush to Longbei County and Chang 'an to express their intention to submit.
"Zhu He Guan?" Mr. Dark Cloud looked quietly at Hu Yinghua in front of him.
The master of the Hu family nodded. "Zhu He Guan is the largest sect in the north of Qingyue County. Before this, they had always acted under the orders of Fuzhen Guan. But this time, their master secretly came to Yunzhong County and expressed his intention to submit to Chang 'an. He hopes that the Chang' an army can go south and east and take over Qingyue County. They are willing to support the uprising."
Fuzhen Guan was located in the south of Qingyue County, and its influence spread to the surrounding counties.
However, after their leader, Daoist Zhichen, "fell" in Chang 'an, Fuzhen Guan was now quite weak.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled slightly.
Before this, the local forces would only bow their heads when Chang 'an attacked.
They even had to be beaten up before they knew the rules.
After the news of the destruction of the Icefire Valley spread, the forces around Chang 'an began to waver.
Some of the more active ones took the initiative to submit to Chang 'an without the need to attack.
For example, the master of Zhu He Guan directly became the leader of Beiwang's army.
This also meant that within the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the prestige of the royal family and Chang 'an began to reverse.
Soon, news came from all over. Many forces outside the four counties of Chang 'an came to contact people to submit.
