Chapter 629

Xu Shenji's words strengthened Cheng Dalei's mind. He Shen's words may not be completely unpleasant, whether you simply want to survive in this troubled era, or compete with the princes for the world, you need enough strength.

At present, Toad City has reached its peak, and there is no more room for development, so it needs to open another base to support its subsequent development.

The current situation in Shuofang City is indeed very bad, but if it is properly rectified, it may not be able to make it prosperous again.

After Cheng Dalei firmly developed the idea of Shuofang City, instead of abandoning it, an image of a city was lit up in his mind, and Cheng Dalei could now view the information of Shuofang City.

City: Shuofang Castle (Ruined Primary City)

Population: 5000

Skills: Blessing of the gods, building mastery, rumors

Cheng Dalei read the system information word by word and found that after opening the siege mode, each city has shared the same set of skills. That is to say, the skills of a city can be used in all places, unlike the previous cottages, each cottage has a separate skill.

Duh, Shuofang City is less than 10,000, please expand the population to 10,000 as soon as possible, and you can get system rewards after completing the task.

At this time, Cheng Dalei received a system task, asking him to expand the population as soon as possible.

Because of the architectural mastery, it was not too difficult to repair the castle. The greatest difficulty is still people, or rather, the food that feeds this population.

If tens of thousands of homeless people really fooled over, it was tens of thousands of mouths to ask Cheng Dalei for food, and Cheng Dalei couldn't let them consume what kind of family money he had saved.

This is the problem that Cheng Dalei is currently eager to solve.

By the evening of the next day, He Shen had already arrived with the grain transport team. With the distance between Toad City and Shuofang City, it takes about a day and a night to go back and forth. He Shen can come so quickly, probably because Liu Facai just handed over the news, and he was ready to go.

He Shen's work efficiency is extremely high, which Cheng Dalei also has to admire.

Cheng Dalei set up a porridge pot on the street, and first gave a bowl of full rice to the people who stayed in Shuofang City temporarily. These people didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten, and when they heard someone giving porridge, they immediately moved in groups, and came with pots and bowls. If it weren't for the soldiers to maintain order, they would have kicked the porridge pot.

Cheng Dalei was the first time he had seen the people under his rule, and when he entered the city yesterday, no one paid attention to him at all.

He wanted to say something if everyone worked together and a better day was just around the corner, and it was estimated that no one would pay attention to him.

Cheng Dalei went directly to the main procedure, and the soldiers maintained order and made a register for these people. The account book left by Song Bokang was useless at all, Cheng Dalei couldn't wait to burn it down, and Cheng Dalei had to start from scratch.

Cheng Dalei can also roughly distinguish the main components of these people, most of them are lazy people, and there are some ruthless people who are stubborn and competitive, and the rest are some old and weak women and children who can't walk.

Seeing that the porridge work at the gate of the city lord's mansion was on the right track, Cheng Dalei, Xu Shenji and He Shen walked into the city mansion, and he still had something to discuss with He Shen.

He Shen's whole person was very excited, which could be seen from the expression on his face. He may not have failed to see the difficulties of Shuofang City, but he was very happy to be able to expand his territory. Cheng Dalei finally stopped nesting in Toad City and took the first step to dominate the world.

"Great boss, I have seen it just now, and the current population of Shuofang City is about more than 5,000 people. For them, those who are willing to leave can let them leave, and we will not ignore those who are willing to stay. ”

"What about the people who stay?"

"It's best for the old and weak women and children to move them to Toad City, after all, reputation matters, and you can't watch them die in front of you. We took in the remaining men who were willing to join the army, and those who did not want to join the army farmed outside the city. As for some of these traitors, they must not be connived up, and they should establish a military prestige with the power of thunder. ”

Talking with Shen Kan, he made arrangements for these 5,000 people.

Cheng Dalei nodded lightly: "The main difficulty at present is that there is no one, do you have a way to gather the popularity of Shuofang City." ”

He Shen frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to do." ”

Even He Shen said that it was difficult to do, it seems that this matter is indeed not easy. He Shen didn't say some things directly, in fact, the reason why this matter is so difficult to do is that it has something to do with Cheng Dalei.

Cheng Dalei's reputation is terrible. He offended many people by killing people in Bingzhou, in exchange for a reputation for brutality and killing. As for the matter of Langya City in the East China Sea, it is rumored that Cheng Dalei set fire to the library building, which offended the world's readers.

Now Shuofang City wants to recruit talents, but if the banner of Cheng Dalei Toad King is beaten out, it is estimated that there will be no gain except for being able to exchange for a piece of foaming stars.

Cheng Dalei held his chin in his hand and sighed: "The people's heart is a good thing." ”

It's no wonder that the population of Toad City has not expanded much, it turns out that this is the reason. Why can Li Xingzai recruit troops in Xuzhou soon, and his subordinates have gathered a large number of people. He is a serious King of Ease, the son of Emperor Ming, and there are rumors that Emperor Ming originally planned to pass on to him. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, there are still people who believe it, and everyone does not feel ashamed to do things for him.

And no matter how the other princes and kings are, they are also sealed by the imperial court, so the banner is also useful. But Cheng Dalei debuted as a bandit, and in order not to shame his ancestors, everyone generally would not take refuge in a bandit.

Cheng Dalei could have summoned a group of people with fear points, not asking about quality, only about quantity. But the fear value is a good thing, and Cheng Dalei feels that it shouldn't be wasted on this matter.

"When it comes to attracting people, you can always think of a way to do it when you think about it slowly. Cheng Dalei said: "What I am embarrassed about is that if there is really a person, what will we raise." Only when there is food at home can you not panic, and the grain and grass in Toad City cannot be moved. ”

"In my opinion, it's not too difficult to do. He Shen said: "We can't grow food, we can grab it." ”

Cheng Dalei was stunned, he forgot his old job. He debuted as a bandit, and if he didn't have food, he could naturally grab it from somewhere else.

"But do we have a place to grab it?"

"Liangzhou City?"

"We just took a city from someone's house, so it's not appropriate to rob someone else. Besides, Zhao Zilong is still in Song Bokang's army, which is inconvenient at present. ”

"Bailisheng?"

"Bailisheng won't live for a few days, his grain and grass are all supplied by the imperial court, and he is currently poorer than us. ”

"If you can't do either of these places, then you'll have to do it to Sekinai. ”

Toad City is located in the northwest border of the empire, while Shuofang City is bordering Jingzhou Yizhou, which is also relatively poor and barbaric. And Jingzhou is the land of abundance, if you want to do it, Jingzhou is a good choice.
