Early in the morning on February 5th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao set out from the garrison city of Qingyi Principality, escorted by 2,000 fifth-level palace guards, and meandered towards the Kingdom of Gillette.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on February 6, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao led the fifth-level palace guard troops into the Kingdom of Gillette. However, Qu Mao did not go to Shacheng of the Kingdom of Gillette, nor to the King's City of Gillette.

, but after entering the Gillette Kingdom from the southwest border, they walked in the southern border of the Gillette Kingdom, left the Gillette Kingdom from the southeastern border of the Gillette Kingdom, and entered the territory of the Bai Tier Kingdom.

After entering the territory of Bai Tierhou Kingdom, Qu Mao began to slow down his marching speed, stopping and walking along the way. After passing the Bai Tierhou King's City, he continued to march north, preparing to enter Wang Zhanhou Kingdom and then pass through Wang Zhanhou Kingdom.

Within the country, he entered the Abyss Kingdom, and then entered the Liusu Kingdom from the teleportation city at the junction of the Abyss Kingdom, the Wangzhan Kingdom and the original Liusu Principality.

Because three or four months ago, Su Yan upgraded the Liusu Principality to the Liusu Kingdom. Only by incorporating the Bai Tier, Wang Zhan, Abyss, and Lianhe vassal states into the vassal states could the Liusu Principality be upgraded to the Liusu Kingdom.

.

The reason why Qu Mao had to go through such a long circle to return to the Holy Land of Yi Hou Territory was because he wanted to see the mentality of the residents after these independent territorial princes were incorporated into the subordinate princes of Liusu Kingdom.

After walking all the way, Qu Mao found with some sadness that the residents of the Bai Tier Kingdom, the Wangzhan Kingdom and the Abyss Kingdom did not seem to have any feelings about the Liusu Kingdom including their country as a subordinate country.

In fact, for the aboriginal people on the Hegemony Continent, they really don't care who rules them. What they care about is mainly whether they and their families can have enough to eat.

This discovery made Qu Mao feel very embarrassed. This characteristic of the aboriginal people allowed the Yihou Territory to boldly attack the aboriginal forces and bring all the aboriginal forces' territories on Dongda Road under its rule. But it also meant that Yihou territory

It is also difficult to cultivate the sense of honor of the aboriginal people in the territory and the spirit of defending the territory to the death.

This is a double-edged sword, and Qu Mao couldn't think of a better solution for a while.

The situation in the Wangzhan Kingdom and the Abyss Kingdom is even more serious than in the Bai Tier Kingdom.

The Bai Tier Kingdom was only one of the original member states of the Alliance to Destroy the Soviet Union, but the Wangzhan Kingdom and the Abyss Kingdom were the main culprits in usurping the king of the original Liusu Principality. In the early days, they became independent from the affiliated forces of the Liusu Principality. Today,

Being once again included as a subordinate force by the Tassel Kingdom, almost all the residents had no feelings at all.

Qu Mao only went to the royal city of Wang Zhanhou Kingdom and discussed this issue with the garrison heroes of Wang Zhanhou Kingdom, but the garrison heroes could not give any better suggestions.

Qu Mao didn't even go to the royal city of the Abyss Kingdom. He just entered the Abyss Kingdom from the Wangzhan Kingdom, then made a small circle in the southeastern border of the Abyss Kingdom, and then rushed to Liusu Kingdom, Wangzhan Kingdom and the Abyss Kingdom.

The teleport city at the junction of the three countries.

Teleport City is a brand new city built by Su Yan and led by immigrants from the Yi Hou Territory after Qu Mao and Kong Ming conducted an on-the-spot investigation after discovering that there was an abandoned teleportation array in the Liusu Kingdom. Within the Teleport City, there are also spaces established by some space magicians.

The Magic Research Institute is used to study how to restore the teleportation array.

In fact, the technology to restore the teleportation array has been clarified, but considering that there is a force on the other side of the teleportation array that is almost the same as Yihou's territory, and this force does not distinguish between friends and foes, so Qu Mao and others did not conquer the Eastern Continent.

Before, there was no rush to restore the teleportation array.

However, since the teleportation array has not been restored over there, theoretically it should be because the teleportation array over there was not ready, or the abandoned teleportation array was simply not found.

Qu Mao stayed in the teleportation city for a night and day, communicating with the magicians from the Space Magic Research Institute, and also inspected the defenses of the two circular walls inside and outside the teleportation city. No matter what the abandoned teleportation array looked like on the other side

Considering this, Qu Mao felt that he still had to do a good job in his own defense.

Fortunately, Zhang Da now has strong troops and horses. There are as many as 300,000 security soldiers in the teleportation city, and there are also a large number of third-level swordsmen stationed in the teleportation city. Qu Mao believes that the defense of the teleportation city is not bad. After all, if there is really

The enemy is coming, and the space magicians in the Space Magic Research Institute are quite powerful.

However, what makes Qu Mao somewhat gratified is that the residents of Teleport City are still very excited about Liusu Principality becoming the Liusu Kingdom. However, considering that the residents of Teleport City basically migrated from the Holy Land of Yihou Territory and other places in Liusu Principality in the early days, here

The residents have a sense of honor that Qu Mao can understand.

Along the way, Qu Mao has been thinking about whether to use resident recruitment coupons to replenish the population of 750,000 people in the Holy Land of Yihou every month to 1 million people every month. Along the way, the most reliable residents are still Yihou.

The population migrated from the holy land of the waiting territory.

However, Qu Mao hadn't fully figured out the matter yet, so he had to continue walking to the royal city of King Liusu.

Qu Mao didn't have to walk the rest of the way to check on the people's sentiments, so he walked very quickly.

On February 14th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao came to the Royal City of Liusu King. Currently, the Royal City of Liusu King was building a second city wall two kilometers outside the city wall, which was to expand the scope of the royal city.

Qu Mao did not object to this, but went directly to the Liusu King's Palace. After meeting Su Yan, Qu Mao fully communicated with Su Yan his feelings along the way.

Although Su Yan had already guessed this result, she did not conduct an on-site investigation. After hearing what Qu Mao said, she asked Qu Mao how to adjust.

Qu Mao sighed and said: "Su Yan, starting from April of the sixth year of Tianxuan, I plan to use resident recruitment coupons to add 1 million residents in the Holy Land every month. This is the solution I thought of."

Su Yan asked: "Sir, is it because you found that only the residents who migrated from our Holy Land are reliable?"

Qu Mao nodded.

Su Yan thought for a while and said: "Sir, our territory is developing too fast, and the progress of conquering the aboriginal forces in the Eastern Continent has never really slowed down.

My Lord, you want to use resident recruitment coupons to replenish the population of the Holy Land by 1 million every month starting from April. I think it is indeed necessary, but to enhance the sense of honor of the residents occupying the independent territory, I think it will take at least one generation."

Qu Mao smiled bitterly and said: "How can we have so much time in one generation?

I will stay in the palace tonight and return to the Holy Land tomorrow. Kong Ming sent me a long-distance communication, telling me that there has been a breakthrough in the research and development of artillery and muskets, and I must go back and take a look as soon as possible.

A generation, alas! There is a long way to go and there are obstacles, let’s work hard together.”
