Chapter 182 Bronze Wall and Iron Wall, An Mang Giant City! (seeking subscription)

The content recorded in the Fudi animal skin volume is trivial and complicated, and it is all a collection of various words and phrases.

The intelligence system shared by the three major mercenary associations in the Western Regions does have its advantages, with comprehensive information and quick delivery.

But there are also disadvantages. The information cannot be accurately identified and screened. Some news about Kyushu's heavy weapons even conflicts with each other.

But even so, Jiang Li has enough understanding of Kyushu's heavy weapons.

Those who win the tripod win the world.

The nine tripod vessels and the four sacred vessels each represent the luck of a state or a region. Only when the tripod and the sacred vessels are recognized can one truly control a state or a region.

Within a state and a domain, the person who controls the sacred vessel of the tripod is a nearly invincible existence. With the luck of a state, he will never be destroyed in a hundred battles.

Although the Great Zhou occupies the land of three states, according to the records in the animal skin volume, Emperor Jing only owns the tripods of the two states, and has not yet been truly recognized by the tripods, and cannot mobilize all the luck of the two states.

Otherwise, there would be no need to spend countless manpower and material resources to build the Great Wall of the North Land, which stretches tens of thousands of miles, to prevent the invasion and plunder of the Mang people.

The real lord of a state can use luck to bless ordinary soldiers, multiply their strength, occupy many advantages of mountains, rivers, landforms, wind direction and weather, and a hundred people can stop two or three thousand troops.

At the same time, there are records about the ancient god tower in the animal skin volume.

No one knows the origin of this divine tower, and can only vaguely speculate that the divine tower may have originated from ancient times or even more distant times.

Every thousand years, the divine tower would descend from the outer world and land in a random state or region in the four regions of Kyushu. After staying for nine days, it would take off and leave.

After that, every once in a while, it may be several months, it may be years, or decades, the divine tower will come to another state domain, until all the four domains of Kyushu descend once, the divine tower will return to the outer world, until the next The coming of the millennium.

It is said that there are nine completely different worlds in the tower, which retain the environment of the prehistoric, ancient, and ancient times, and even the power of laws.

Those who can enter it and walk out alive will get the supreme opportunity and great fortune.

There are many secrets and ways to smash the void, the congenital greatness and perfection of the soul, the immeasurable star field, the sage of Ren Yu Ming....

It even contains the secret of landing on the other side.

In the late Middle Ages, Emperor Pan fell, and the great emperors occupied a state and dominated the fate of a state. They were almost invincible existences.

However, because they wanted to go further, they left their respective state domains, entered the towers of the gods many times to compete for the secrets of heaven, and fell one after another in the battles and explorations, resulting in the loss of Kyushu's heavy weapons and four domains' holy artifacts. With the start of the catastrophe of annihilation, the inheritance of the Hundred Saints was cut off.

Jiang Li closed the animal skin volume, slowly consuming these shocking news and secrets.

Everyone is eligible to enter the first three floors of the ancient god tower, but from the fourth floor onwards, there are extremely strict restrictions on entrants.

Regardless of the strength of the realm, only those with profound luck can enter.

After that, the requirements are higher and higher on each floor. If you want to enter the sixth floor of the tower, only the monarch of a country or the owner of a heavy weapon or a sacred weapon, except for those who are destined to be the protagonists of the first life with unfavorable luck. qualified.

The vision of the earth ascending, the gorgeous nine heavens!
This is a sign of the nine-story desolate ancient tower before it appeared.

In two months at the earliest, and in one season at the latest, the divine pagoda will surely come to Mangzhou.

"The vision of the divine tower covers half of the wilderness. Although the vision has retracted and only manifested a few hundred miles around, such momentum will inevitably attract the entire world of Kyushu. At that time, not only the Great Zhou, Northern Mang, Western Regions, Daluo, and even more distant overseas four regions, southern borders, and one hundred thousand mountains will have strong people coming!"

Ginger's heart is mixed with joy and sorrow.

The joy is that the divine tower is now in the world, and all the powerful people in the four regions of Kyushu will be attracted. No matter the Western Regions or Beimang, they will not go to war or start a war during this period.

For the Li province he had just recovered, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cultivate and grow.

What is worrying is that after a period of time, the originally desolate and remote wilderness will become the most lively place in the world of Kyushu.

There are countless masters from all walks of life, and the strong in the world gather.

Conflict and disputes are endless.

Maybe it will affect Anmang City, whose foundation is still shallow!
The construction of Anmang City must be accelerated.

The first thing Jiang Li thought of was Fu Di, the leader of the Western Region mercenaries who should not have gone far.

"Pass my order, Mo Yunliang, Zhao Tiehe and other generals will come to the chief account to discuss political affairs!"

Jiang Li yelled lightly, and his own soldiers guarding outside the tent took orders and left quickly.

When Jiang Li finished bathing, wiped off the water drops on his body, and walked into the meeting room of the main tent, Mo Yunliang, Zhao Tiehe and others had also arrived.

"The Northern Expedition is temporarily suspended. The Mangyuan is about to usher in a stable but turbulent time. The Protectorate needs to make all preparations in advance. For us, this may be another opportunity for rapid rise!"

Jiang Li wore a loose Confucian robe, sat on the head seat of the meeting hall, and issued orders one after another:

"Mr. Mo, you lead the five thousand government troops and return to the Great Zhou realm immediately to buy food, herbs, cloth and other supplies. I want as much as I want.

"Snatch builders, farmers, blacksmiths, weavers, carpenters, physicians, and other artisans, and hire them for more than three times the amount of money.

"At the same time, a recruitment order was issued to the civilians in Dazhou. Anyone who is willing to move to Mangyuan will be given [-] acres of land and ten sheep per person. Those who are willing to join our Anmang Capital Protectorate as an army will be paid three times as much as the army, and they will be able to teach high-quality goods. Scholars and Confucians should also recruit some of the martial arteries and qi arteries mentioned above..."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Mo Yunliang bowed and nodded, his heart was shaken.

The Anmang Duhu Mansion was first built, and all businesses were waiting to be flourished. The needs of the people, craftsmen, government troops and various materials were huge, and each item required an inestimable huge amount of money to support it.

From Jiang Li's plan for Anmang City, it is enough to see how ambitious this young soldier is.

With the current planned area alone, Anmang City is already more than half the size of Shengjing City.

Mo Yunliang had no doubts about Jiang Li's strength and potential.

But the wilderness is desolate, and apart from the millions of people living in poverty, there is no support and background, and there is no powerful family behind Jiang Li to rely on.

Under normal circumstances, there is no other way but to draw it slowly.

Unexpectedly, his first order after returning to Anmang City was such a big deal.

I am afraid that the amount of money required is tens of millions of taels of silver...

"You don't need to worry about the money matter, I have my own way to solve it, I will give you three days to choose the soldiers of the government and prepare for the follow-up matters!"

Jiang Li saw Mo Yunliang's concerns and expressed his relief.

"Don't worry, Marquis, Mo will definitely live up to expectations!"

Mo Yunliang resigned and left the main tent in a hurry to arrange the layout.

"Zhao Tiehe, send a message to Fu Di, I will continue to make a deal with him, let him prepare [-] laborers immediately, no, the more the better, let him come to Mangyuan himself, and I will buy good horses from the Western Regions through him , iron sand, cattle and sheep, camels, slaves, and various crop seeds!"

"Old Tu, it's time to work hard again. From now on, all soldiers will give up all reclamation and construction chores, go all out for training, reward exercises, medicinal materials, and eat meat.

"After three months, ordinary government troops must all advance to the third level of martial arts, the ten-man commander and small banner officer must advance to the fourth level of Tai Chi, and only five-level giants are eligible to serve as the general banner. Colonel Husband!"

"Ji Wuliang, Kou Yunxian, after the first batch of supplies from Dazhou and the Western Regions arrive in Anmang City, you will escort them to all the Mang tribes in Li Province, and distribute them directly to every Mang poor man. Don't let those Mang nobles intervened to intercept.

"Remember, you only need to distribute the money. As for the follow-up, don't intervene. I will arrange it myself in the future!"

……

It is an honor to be a Marquis of a country and to be in charge of a province, but the work that needs to be done is quite complicated and trivial. It was not until the bright moon rose that all the generals and officials of the Anmang Mansion took orders to leave one by one.

"I hope that in three to five months, Anmang City will be able to show its scale. As long as I can hold Li Province firmly in my hands, no matter what happens in the future, Emperor Jing and the court will not dare to touch me easily, and I will also have a more prosperous future. If you have enough time, you can improve your cultivation, and if you have not entered the holy rank, you will be an ant in the end!"

Jiang Li rubbed his swollen forehead, and after a short rest, he got up and walked out of the main tent.

"Subordinates pay respects to the Marquis!"

The tents in the Chihe Valley have been moved to Anmang City one after another. In the unbuilt city, thousands of tents are lined up neatly.

Even in the middle of the night, there are still groups of government troops spontaneously organized to practice boxing and martial arts and temper their bodies under the moonlight.

In some remote corners, there are government soldiers who practice Qimai sitting cross-legged, breathing quietly.

Mansion troops wearing armor and holding swords rode around on horseback, and the whole city was filled with a vigorous and enterprising atmosphere.

Some of Jiang Li's strategies have been promulgated for a long time, and among them are many measures to fully support the cultivation and improvement of the government troops.

These government soldiers from poor backgrounds are never afraid of suffering. As long as they have the possibility to become stronger and stand out, as long as they work hard, they can get the rewards and rewards they deserve, so they are naturally willing to put in ten or a hundred times the effort.

Every government soldier is filled with expectations and hopes for the future.

Wherever Jiang Li passed along the way, the government troops automatically stopped their training, and saluted Jiang Li respectfully, admiring and worshiping him from the bottom of their hearts.

Jiang Li nodded in return, walked out of Anmang City, and came to the Chihe Valley in the north of the city. He walked into the mountains and found a remote and rocky place.

The brilliance of Xumijie shone, and the demon sword man Tu flew out, and was caught by Jiang Li, and the light of the sword darted, cutting open many boulders in the mountains and forests, and after a while, thousands of stone slabs were stacked together.

"Turn stone into gold!"

Jiang Li activated Tiangang's magical power, and the fluctuations containing mysterious power slowly spread, and the thick stone slabs in front of him gradually changed, from gray-white stone to metal.

As time passed, pieces of golden slabs exuding dazzling luster appeared among the stone pestles.

Jiang Li's background is shallow, although he was born in Zhenwuhou's Mansion, he didn't get the slightest support.

But he has the supernatural power of Tiangang to turn stone into gold.

You can convert the sand and gravel soil into the desired gold and silver as you like.

It's just that although his current martial arteries, qi meridians, and Taoist realms have improved by leaps and bounds compared to before, after all, the energy of Yuan Qi is limited, and he cannot transform metals without limit.

"Huh, nine breaths of convincing!"

An hour later, Jiang Li's vitality and spiritual power were exhausted, and he could only use nine breaths of convincing energy to restore his full state.

Then continue to enlighten...

Again and again!
He said that he gave Mo Yunliang three days to prepare for many matters in the territory of Dazhou, rather he gave himself a few days to turn stones into gold and raise military expenses.

Until the morning sun rose, Jiang Li had only converted 6 to 700 taels of gold, which was equivalent to about [-] million taels of silver.

According to this speed, three nights is enough for Mo Yunliang's first batch of military expenses to go to Dazhou.

Jiang Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and collected the successfully transformed gold nuggets into the Xumi ring one by one.

As a Jiedu envoy who owns a whole province, and has to raise the military expenses by himself, it seems... quite a sense of accomplishment.

Continue tonight!

Jiang Li returned with a full load, returned to the big tent in Anmang City, and kept tempering his body, exhaling and practicing Qi for a moment.

In the camp of the Chinese army, the confrontation between Emperor Jing, Marquis Wu and the gods, ghosts, and sages of Beimang gave Jiang Li a big shock, and his desire for strength became more urgent.

The desolate ancient tower will come soon, if you want to gain benefits from it, you must improve your realm as soon as possible.

Compared with the realm of Taoism, the realm of Wumai and Qimai improves relatively quickly, and their own realm is also two levels higher than Taoism.

After Jiang Li thought about it briefly, he temporarily put aside Taoism and focused on the realm of Wumai and Qimai.

For the next two days, he worked day and night, and finally managed to make up the first military expenditure before Mo Yunliang led five thousand government troops to leave Yancheng.

"Mr. Mo, I'm leaving!"

Outside the city of Anmang, a team of [-] government soldiers was forming, and Mo Yunliang looked at the ten carriages covered in coarse cloth, feeling like a dream.

Under the coarse cloth of the carriage, there were nearly 20 taels of yellow gold nuggets, each weighing nearly ten catties.

Before departure this morning, Mo Yunliang, who had not yet received the military expenses, begged to see Jiang Li anxiously. , piled up into a hill.

"Be careful along the way. If you really encounter robbers you can't beat, it's important to save your life. If you lose the gold, you will lose it!"

Jiang Li nodded his head, urging him ten thousand times.

If the gold is gone, the big deal is to stay up all night and move bricks, but the time and effort required to train five thousand loyal and elite troops is far more than just a few months.

"Don't worry, Marquis, even if we die, we must protect the safety of military expenses!"

Mo Yunliang and the rest of the army were moved when they heard the words.

More than 3000 taels of gold, converted into silver, is close to [-] million taels, which is almost worth one-third of the annual tax revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If it is used to equip the army, it can pull up a team of about 10 people.

"Forget it, Yuntao, Senior Qingniu, please escort me!"

Looking at the firmness in the eyes of Mo Yunliang and the rest of the army, Jiang Li couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, and could only send more people for them.

The 5000-strong team set off, Jiang Li didn't care to watch the team leave, so he immediately turned around and returned to the camp.

He is still pressed for time, and Mo Yunliang has temporarily collected the military expenses he needs, but he still needs to continue to "move bricks" for the silver taels needed to trade with the mercenary leader Fu Di.

On the way back to the main tent, Jiang Li looked at the city wall that was getting higher and higher, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

Mangyuan has few mountains and rocks, and the stones are relatively loose. Even if some auxiliary means are added to enhance the firmness of Anmang City, the strength of the city wall built with earth and rocks is still limited.

But what if all of them are made of fine steel?

At the very least, it is temporarily feasible to add a metal skeleton and interlayer to the walls of Anmang City.

When the future state is advanced, it can be improved slowly.

A solid wall!
Wu Sheng punched him, and half of his body would be numb!
