Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years

rs, and the peoples livelihood should not be too bad.

However, Yanshan County was barren to begin with. Before the war, there were only about 500,000 people. It was already very good that there were still 200,000 people left.

As for Hedong County, Hongyuan County, and Shimen County, they had also been attacked by the Yan bandits. Most of the peoples businesses were gone, and the people were struggling to survive. Their population had also plummeted. It was already a blessing to have more than 500,000 people. Other than that, it was Luoan County and Changxing County.

Although neither of these places had encountered any war disasters, the local governor was from a wealthy family and only cared about military power. He did not care about the peoples livelihoods, and the other was a freeloader who did not care about military affairs. Neither of them were good people.

Under such governance, Luoan County and Changxing County were naturally in a mess. Countless people had starved to death and frozen to death in the various counties. There were refugees and beggars everywhere, and there were probably less than 600,000 people in total from the two counties.

Yunshu County was a frontier fortress. The permanent population was less than 100,000, and there were no big clans or sects. There were not even many merchants. In such a place, whether or not a new government decree was implemented did not make much of a difference.

In all, the population of Fengzhou was at most four million.

When Cui Heng saw this data, he was numb.

How big was Fengzhou?

In terms of area alone, it was equivalent to one Shanxi Province and half of Hebei Province on Earth.

Moreover, there were many fertile lands that were suitable for farming, which was why it was called Fengzhou.

In such a large area and with such conditions, there were only about four million people left.

How terrifying!

In fact, this was not considered rare in an ancient society wrecked with war.

However, to Cui Hengs cultivation, it was a rather troublesome matter.

In places like Hedong County and Xiling County that had suffered serious military disasters, the new decree was useless. This was because the local aristocratic sects had long been killed already.

Although the Hongyuan and Shimen Counties had also suffered a military disaster, there were still the Grand Prosperity Monastery and the Lotus Flower Monastery in these two places. There were quite a number of powerful landlords left, and they could be used as a place for the second batch of soldiers.

But no matter what, there were still too few people.

Even if the new government decree was implemented in the entire Fengzhou, it would probably not be able to collect enough Seven Emotions.

As such, he had to spread the decree to the surrounding areas.

Otherwise, there would not be enough people.

Moreover, this would also cause dissatisfaction among the other county factions.

He could also receive a lot of emotional feedback.

The so-called surrounding area was actually the territory of the neighboring States. To put it bluntly, it was to expand the territory and population of Fengzhou!

Whoosh!

Cui Heng put down the stack of information and closed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the people below. He suddenly said, “Hui Shi, Chen Tong, listen up.”

At this moment, Zhang Shuming, Hui Shi, Liu Litao, Chen Tong, Xu Fengan, and Wu Yin were standing in the inner hall.

Hui Shi and Chen Tong immediately stepped forward to await orders.

Cui Heng nodded slightly and said in a low voice, “I order Hui Shi to patrol the seven counties. He can temporarily represent the administrative and military authority of Lu County, Yan Mountain, Hongyuan, Shimen County, Luoan County, and Changxing County to implement a new decree.

Chen Tong, your orders are to act as an army officer. You will temporarily follow Hui Shi to the various counties to implement the new government decree. You can recruit soldiers and form an army. If you see commoners being bullied at the border with other states, you can act at will and lead your troops to rescue them.”

As soon as this order was given, everyone present knew what he meant.

He was clearly trying to expand his territory.

“Yes! We will follow your orders!”

Hui Shi and Chen Tong replied in unison and gladly accepted the order.

Liu Litao and Xu Fengan naturally did not have any objections. They were already familiar with Cui Hengs style of doing things. As long as he decided on something, he would definitely do it.

As for Zhang Shuming, he already treated Cui Heng as a Heaven Monarch.

The Heaven Monarch naturally did whatever he wanted.

Not to mention in the Lower World, even the Upper World was the same.

“Lord Overseer, arent you being a little too hasty?” Wu Yin was a little worried. He stepped forward and persuaded, “I know that you want to carry out the Great Harmony plan and benefit the people of the world. This is a good deed.

However, if we rashly take on such an intense campaign and seize other counties to carry out reforms, Im afraid it will cause all the sects and families in the world to counterattack crazily.

300 years ago, Heavenly King Hongwu killed all the Deity Realm experts in the world and wiped out the aristocratic families and sects. He almost unified the world and rebuilt it anew. However, just as he was about to succeed, he suddenly disappeared. This was definitely not without the help of the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World.

Lord Overseer, the 100-year period is approaching, and the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World are about to descend. If you are too anxious, the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World will definitely interfere. Im afraid that it will add to your suffering. Please reconsider.”

“Haha, what Sir Wu said is exactly what I want.” Cui Heng laughed when he heard that. He nodded and said, “With my political decree, those sects and aristocratic families that attacked Hongwu back then will indeed jump out.

“Moreover, in two months, when the Immortals and Buddhas of the Upper World descend and discover the decree Ive implemented, the people who attacked Hongwu back then wont be able to hold back anymore.

“At that time, we can capture them all and settle the score together!

“How much effort did this save me?

“Why not?”
