Chapter 150: A Big Problem

~8 min read 1,545 words

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

On Giant Serpent Head Island.

The scene of tens of thousands of three-foot metal flying people building a city generated by the Heavenly Firmament Marvel was a spectacular sight even in this supernatural world.

Plus, Prince Zhen's Traveling Palace also let it be open.

So a path was actually trodden out in the jungle between Old Blackwood Town and the metal cave.

It somewhat had the meaning of the great philosopher from Zhang Gui's previous life, 'There were no roads in the world originally; there were roads when many people walked.'

And during this period, as one of the pathfinders, Zhang Gui had been staying on the island.

From time to time, he would pretend to be curious, as if he could never get tired of looking, and go to the metal cave.

But in reality, he was using the increasingly crowded people going to open their eyes at the cave as a cover.

He would teleport to the Shishi Capital of the True Dragon Kingdom and discuss two major events with Song Wenhua and Old Sang Gui, the representatives of the civil and military officials:

First, with the help of half a Heavenly Firmament Heavenly Craft Opening All Things, how should the people's livelihood and national strength of True Dragon be better developed?

Planning for the future.

Second, with the continuous expansion of the True Dragon Kingdom, plus Prince Zhen's Traveling Palace acting as if it treated Giant Serpent Head Island as its own maritime base.

Once the two have contact in the future, how should True Dragon Kingdom respond to the variables when it appears in the world?

As a result, the first major event was discussed slowly, and soon a conclusion was reached bit by bit.

That is, after the new county along the True Dragon River was built, people would immediately be moved from the Shishi Capital to fill it.

But the number of immigrants should not be overflowing; a total of fifty thousand people in the whole city and township is enough.

The only requirement is that twenty percent of the immigrants must be 'old people' who have been registered in the True Dragon Kingdom for more than half a year.

Afterward, continue to build cities with the Heavenly Firmament Marvel.

After building, move another fifty thousand people from the Shishi Capital to fill it.

Still requiring twenty percent of the immigrants to be 'old people' who have been registered in the True Dragon Kingdom for more than half a year.

Repeating this cycle, all other national policies remain as usual.

Once the immigrants have lived in the new city for a full year, they can move freely.

And there must be railways and steam locomotives connecting all cities.

In addition, after the new city is completed and all immigrants have moved in, all municipal maintenance can no longer rely on the help of the Heavenly Firmament Marvel...

In short, more than a dozen rules were formulated in one breath and announced to the citizens early on.

As for the things that were not thought of or not thought of thoroughly, according to the True Dragon Emperor's words to his ministers,

"I am not an omniscient and omnipotent god yet; I can only solve problems when I discover them.

And I have said I don't know how many times, my philosophy of governing the country is 'operating a country'.

That is to say, I am equivalent to the owner of a trading firm, having created a country.

Then I invite all the managers, or professional managers, to help operate the business.

I have already set the overall development direction for the next step of this trading firm.

As for the rest, if you ask me what to do, I can only ask you back."

As for the second major event.

Zhang Gui and his ministers could never find a foolproof solution.

After all, by the time the True Dragon Kingdom appears in the world, there will be at least a million people.

With so many citizens, Zhang Gui is also used to holding 'chicken soup' meetings for the common people in his country in the large square of the Guiyang Palace from time to time.

More importantly, no one in the True Dragon Kingdom doesn't know that their emperor is surnamed Zhang, named Gui, and actually has another identity in the Eastern Continent.

In the future, he will definitely be a true overseas legend, passed down through the ages, achieving a shocking story!

There was simply no room for concealment.

Zhang Gui could only think hard to find a way while letting nature take its course.

Now it was the end of the year.

The whole Old Blackwood Town was covered with red lanterns, full of New Year's atmosphere.

Zhang Gui simply put aside his worries for the time being, thinking that it would not be too late to plan next year.

After all, after the New Year, it might not even be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Prince Zhen will inevitably bring Mr. Yin and the group of people from the 'Traveling Palace', leading thirty thousand so-called 'elite soldiers', to the Xianrong Island.

Who knows what will happen then.

"If the whole army is wiped out in one battle, wouldn't the problem be solved."

Inn small courtyard.

Zhang Gui was in a room with a burning copper fire basin, drinking hot tea in big gulps, thinking about the 'beautiful thing' with a probability of less than one in ten thousand.

He sighed with great difficulty,

"Originally, I thought about establishing the country and setting the momentum; although 'combining the odd and the even' is the best of the best.

But it must be based on 'even' and supplemented by 'odd'.

Plus, the first ten thousand or so citizens of the True Dragon Kingdom were all kidnapped by me killing and setting fires.

Wanting to hide my identity is both difficult and shameless.

It is also easy to leave a timid and petty impression on the initial governing team.

So I came up with a 'Peacock Displaying Its Tail' in a dignified manner.

As a result, it became difficult in the future.

Well, originally, it was separated from the Ming Song Kingdom by the sea; even if the True Dragon Kingdom appeared, I could just make up some rumors and hide the truth, and it would pass.

In the previous life, the internet world was so developed, wasn't the whole world still indistinguishable between true and false?

As long as there is distance, everything goes with the heart.

People will only believe the 'truth' they are willing to believe.

But 'Central Gate Face-off' is finished.

Everyone is on the same island, truly connected.

Unless True Dragon is like the era of the founding emperor of Ming Song, Zhao Zhusha, closing the country.

Otherwise, I will inevitably be exposed."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Gui subconsciously operated the Main Spirit Cong 'Swallow Crow', sucking a long line of fire from the fire basin and swallowing it into his abdomen.

In fact, with his current strength, doing this is completely meaningless.

But Zhang Gui will still be idle, and if there are conditions, he will 'play' like this twice.

One is to relieve boredom;

Second, he firmly believes that whether it is practicing techniques or tempering Spirit Cong, every bit of effort will accumulate, and even if it is meaningless, doing it will definitely be better than not doing it.

I don't know how long he spent grinding.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhang Gui's mind, and he wanted to go out of the city and sneak into the jungle, teleporting to the Shishi Capital to discuss with his ministers.

But on second thought, the True Dragon Kingdom is currently on New Year's holiday.

Old Song is finally accompanying his granddaughter to set off firecrackers, enjoying the happiness of family.

And Old Sang Gui, after turning into a thousand-stone corpse soldier, is rejuvenated and has just remarried.

Going to discuss matters with him now is even more disgusting.

"Hey, in my previous life, I hated those trash bosses who not only exploited employees but also loved to exploit executives.

Now I must not become an upgraded version of them.

Becoming a bastard like Prince Zhen.

According to the rules, the Grand Court Assembly presided over by the Emperor of Ming Song is on the first day of the first lunar month.

If the 'Acting for Heaven on Inspection' is a member of the royal family, he can hold a 'Small Court Assembly' on the third day of the first lunar month.

But the latter is actually a means used by the Prince of Yan after sweeping the north, forcing his nephew to abdicate, to test the attitude of the ministers.

Prince Zhen is truly a 'big smart guy', taking it and using it now.

Making me unable to even go home to accompany Amu for the New Year."

Zhang Gui thought in his heart that he shouldn't go to disgust his subordinates, but in the end, he was disgusted by himself.
