Chapter 206 Capital Construction

In just two days of travel, 4 Soul Masters arrived at Jialing Pass.

The original Jialing Pass was a battlefield of the last major battle, so it was full of ruins and looked rather desolate.

Wang Xiaofei first convened a meeting of the ministers to arrange the construction of the capital.

All the ministers and deputy ministers from various departments gathered together.

Niu Gao took out a huge blueprint, which showed the plan of the entire capital city. The entire capital city was hexagonal in shape, with six different city walls, each wall being over 150 meters high and entirely constructed of thick stone.

The entire capital city has a diameter of over 80 kilometers, making it much larger than the original Tian Dou City and Xing Luo City. The plan is to make this place the largest city on the Douluo Continent and the future commercial core of the entire Douluo Continent.

The entire building is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is about 20 kilometers in diameter and is also hexagonal in shape. It is enclosed by a separate city wall. The area within this zone is mainly the office area.

Two departments occupy one corner, which will become the core office area for each department. The inner city includes a huge conference room, research institute, library, storage room and data center, etc. In short, everything an empire needs will be gathered here.

The innermost five kilometers of the inner city rise directly from the ground, far exceeding the height of other places; this is the imperial palace of the Douluo Federation.

From the palace, one can overlook the entire capital. The palace includes statues, temples, and more, especially the central statue, which is the highest point in the entire capital.

Everyone looked at Niu Gao's design drawings and immediately praised him, saying that he was indeed a professional in architecture.

Wang Xiaofei was stunned when he saw the design drawings. The Yu clan, known for their physical prowess but simple-mindedness, had actually managed to create such a design. Compared to the so-called civil engineering projects of his previous life, it was far more magnificent and grand, yet incredibly detailed. Even Wang Xiaofei suspected that a ghostwriter had been hired to design it.

"Senior Niu Gao, this design is excellent. According to the plan, how long will it take to complete the construction?"

Niu Gao pondered for a moment: "Currently, our architecture department has a total of eight thousand soul masters. If we build according to this blueprint, it will probably take about six months. After all, building a capital city is much more complicated than building an academy, including many things like the outer fighting arena, auction house, and streets."

"Eight thousand soul masters in the Ministry of Construction? No, Senior Niu Gao, that's not how it works. Other departments don't have much to do yet, and I don't have any plans for them. These 4 soul masters, except for the Judgment Department, will all be under your command for now. We'll try to build the capital city as soon as possible, which will make our future work easier."

"If that's the case, there will be about 36,000 Soul Masters involved in the construction, which should greatly speed up the entire construction process. It's estimated that it can be completed in one and a half to two months."

"Alright, let's do it this way. You talk to all the department heads and see what kind of work each department's staff will be assigned to. You will be in charge of all the coordination."

"The other ministers, you should all be able to assist Senior Niu Gao with the construction of the capital without any problems, right?"

The other department heads could only smile wryly when they heard this. Soul Masters, who were once high and mighty, were now having to participate in construction work. Where was the former status of Soul Masters?

But no one could object, so they all nodded in agreement.

As for the details, Wang Xiaofei didn't have time to worry about them. He'd rather spend that time cultivating or thinking about other things.

And so, under the joint leadership of Commander-in-Chief Niu Gao and several deputy commanders-in-chief, the grand construction of the capital city began. This would be the first city on the Douluo Continent entirely built by Soul Masters, and arguably the largest city for countless years to come. By conventional standards, this was simply impossible.

Wang Xiaofei handed over a portion of the proceeds to Finance Minister Liu Yanzhi, and all subsequent expenses were to be managed by Liu Yanzhi's Ministry of Finance. He only needed to receive periodic reports; he had no time to concern himself with the detailed financial matters.

After staying at Jialing Pass for a few days, Wang Xiaofei left alone. He had handed over all the matters to the heads of various departments and knew he should do something else.

First, they went to Wuhun City, which is one of the most difficult cities to conquer on the Douluo Continent.

The Spirit Hall has a long history, spanning tens of thousands of years. In particular, Spirit City is filled with fervent believers of the Spirit Hall, who are practically die-hard fans of the Angel Clan. Even if it is suppressed by force in the short term, trouble is likely to arise later.

When Wang Xiaofei arrived in Wuhun City, the atmosphere was indeed very tense. Despite the suppression by Golden Crocodile Douluo, the people still harbored various forms of resistance.

Upon seeing Wang Xiaofei, Bone Douluo spoke first: "Dean Wang Xiaofei, you've finally arrived. Now, what should we do with Spirit City?"

Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him gave a wry smile. His prestige could indeed suppress the situation in the short term, but it was not a long-term solution. The people of Wuhun City trusted Angel Douluo Qian Renxue and Emperor Bibi Dong more. Although he was the Second Elder, with super strength and high prestige, he was still inferior in some ways.

Looking at the angel statue that Tang Hao smashed during the Soul Master Competition years ago, Wang Xiaofei couldn't help but complain in his heart: What kind of efficiency is this? More than ten years have passed, and not even a statue has been repaired. Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu didn't care about it before.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Don't worry, now that I'm here, I'll take care of things from here on out."

Immediately afterward, Wang Xiaofei unleashed his divine power, enveloping the entire Spirit City, and declared, "All citizens of Spirit City, I am Wang Xiaofei, Emperor of the Douluo Federation. Everyone, assemble at the plaza immediately. Anyone who fails to arrive within one hour will be killed! Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed!"

This time, Wang Xiaofei used a stronger divine power. Everyone in Wuhun City felt a deafening roar upon hearing his words, and even their souls were suppressed, as if they were facing endless killing intent.

Everyone seemed to understand that Wang Xiaofei's words were probably not just casual remarks, and if they were not carried out, they might really be killed.

After Wang Xiaofei finished speaking, he turned to look at the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside him: "Senior Golden Crocodile Douluo, why don't you say a few words and persuade the people of Wuhun City, otherwise things will not look good."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but complain inwardly: Why am I always the one who has to do these things? Whether it's on the Star Luo City battlefield or now in Wuhun City, it's as if I'm the one leading the surrender.

But thinking of Wang Xiaofei's coldness and cruelty, as well as the tragic death of Demon Bear Douluo, and especially the many people in Wuhun City who trusted him, he couldn't help but sigh. In order to reduce the deaths of the people of Wuhun City, he had no choice but to agree.
