How is immortality without enjoyment different from a stone that cannot move?
Of course, the two are not antagonistic, but rather complementary.
Just because we want to enjoy it, we will work harder to fight for immortality.
It's just a matter of sequence.
People with low status only want to climb up and enjoy themselves.
Only people with high status and enjoyment will pursue immortality.
It's that simple.
There were noisy warblers and swallows, and the fragrance was pleasant. This New Year's Eve passed smoothly.
Anyway, Li Daoqiang thought it was okay. It was nothing if a few wives fought, and he still found it interesting.
January 1, the tenth year of Black Dragon City.
On the first day of the new year, Li Daoqiang postponed all official duties and let his group of people do their work, while he devoted himself to accompanying the daughters of the family.
In the past two years, I have been busy with matters in the Western Region, and I have really neglected the girls. I have to make up for it.
Old friends such as Qi Fang, Gongsun Lv'e and others should comfort, accompany and care for you.
Newcomers such as Lu Xueqi and Baguio need to deepen their relationships and cultivate feelings.
At the same time, he also looked inside.
There are still several women he is interested in, but he has not yet tasted them.
For example, Qin Mengyao, Shi Qingxuan and other outstanding women.
Yin Yang also has a few good ones.
After thinking about it, he didn't take action immediately. He might as well take care of it. He would still be a little busy in the next few years.
Anyway, the woman he likes can't run away.
Li Daoqiang stayed at home with his daughters wholeheartedly for three months. Only when the situation in the surrounding areas began to stabilize, did Li Daoqiang begin to intervene in government affairs.
"City Lord, this is the latest statistics.
The four borders of Black Dragon City have a total population of more than 20,343,896,000 people.
Among them, Wujing has a population of about 2.53 billion to 5.47 million.
The population of the southern border is about 3.8694 billion.
The northern border is about 5.23129 million.
The Western Region is about 8.7773 million.
Hidden populations must still exist in various places, especially in the newly stabilized Western Territory.
The overall population difference between the four borders is about one percent."
The administrative hall shone brightly, and Li Si, who became one of the core members, respectfully reported to Li Daoqiang.
Today is a relatively large palace meeting. Li Daoqiang personally presided over it to hear the latest situation in all aspects of Black Dragon City.
Li Daoqiang calmly nodded. On the surface, there are about 20.3 billion people, but secretly, about one percent is hidden.
This one percent is more than 100 million.
It may seem like a lot, but this is normal.
There are so many forces in the four realms of Black Dragon City, which one doesn't hide some people?
Just talk about Black Dragon City itself, the various trained dead warriors, special warriors, etc., there are a lot of hidden things.
Out of a total of more than 20 billion, only over 100 million people are hidden. This is the reason why he is so powerful that various forces dare not hide too much.
The Ministry of Culture and Literature also contributed a lot, and the old man Xunzi worked enthusiastically, as if he put all his efforts and energy into it.
The old man had a stubborn temper and was not afraid of anything. Very few people dared to fool him.
"Last year, the tax revenue from the four borders totaled 62,387,314,942 taels of silver.
Among them, the city's tax revenue is about 4.5 billion, and the rest is paid by the subordinate forces.
The Western Region will be much more stable this year, and it is expected that tax revenue will increase by about 12 billion, and will gradually increase in the following years." Li Si added.
This tax refers to land tax and commercial tax, which is the tax system within Black Dragon City. All other subjects are prohibited.
Four and a half billion are the people, land, and city taxes directly managed by Black Dragon City and its major branches.
The remaining more than 50 billion were handed over by the third-level forces under his command.
It is obvious that Black Dragon City's enfeoffment system is quite thorough.
It seems very unhealthy and safe, but if it were not so, it would be impossible to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time.
"City Lord, there are currently thirty-one powerful people in the human-immortal realm registered by the major forces in the four territories.
There are twenty-three registered casual cultivators, and seventeen of them are willing to obey our orders in Black Dragon City." Mei Changsu, who also belongs to the Administration Hall, said respectfully.
He is responsible for the statistics of the strong men under Black Dragon City, especially those who do not belong to Black Dragon City.
Li Daoqiang did some mental calculations and found that the data was not much different.
In addition to the corresponding strong men of the third-level forces under his command who directly entered Black Dragon City, some strong men also joined in for the sake of the general trend and luck of Black Dragon City.
There are more than thirty powerful people from the human-immortal world left, which is not too many.
As time goes by and Black Dragon City becomes more powerful, this number will decrease.
Because no one can bear the temptation to become stronger faster. If they don’t join Black Dragon City, they will only gradually fall behind.
On the other hand, those casual cultivators should have hidden a lot.
Even with the power of Black Dragon City, it would be difficult to find them.
But it doesn't matter, as mentioned before, those people will only gradually fall behind.
It would be their loss if they did not seize the opportunity and enter the system of Black Dragon City.
"City Lord, now our Black Dragon City has a total of 186 spiritual veins in the four realms.
It can produce about 5.6 million kilograms of spiritual stones every month.
We are still searching for spiritual veins in various places. According to calculations, there should be dozens of spiritual veins hidden in various places in the four realms. My subordinates have sent Ni Bodhisattva and others to step up the search." Internal Affairs Department Shang Xiuxun reported the situation of spiritual veins.
The most important core of the Department of Internal Affairs is the situation of spiritual veins.
Because among the top management of Black Dragon City, spiritual stones have almost completely replaced the role of gold and silver.
"City Lord, in addition to the Palace Master and the Deputy Palace Master, the Hall of Ten Thousand Clans has one monk at the second level of human and immortal, and thirty-six monks at the first level of human and immortal." Wanzu Hall said in a drunken salute.
Zui Zui is a bamboo demon with extraordinary talents and stunning talents. He also has noble conduct and is like a humble gentleman. He has gained the trust of Xiaobai and Li Daoqiang.
The Beast God, the master of the Hall of Ten Thousand Races, does not take care of things. If Xiaobai, the deputy master of the hall, is not around, he will be in charge.
"For the information of the City Lord, the City Lord's Chamber of Commerce's revenue last year totaled approximately 13.65369 million taels of silver.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Once the Western Territory is stabilized and the trade routes are unblocked, my subordinates will be confident that this number will more than double." Wan Sanqian said confidently after saluting.
He is a businessman, one of the most outstanding businessmen in the four realms, the kind who always strives to win the first place.
Therefore, since the Battle of the Ming Palace, Wan Sanqian has entered Black Dragon City and is responsible for taking care of the secular property directly belonging to the city lord's palace. Strictly speaking, it belongs directly to Li Daoqiang.
Caravans, shops, chambers of commerce established in Black Dragon City, etc.
After talking in more detail, Li Daoqiang calmly nodded.
One by one, people stood up and reported to Li Daoqiang the aspects they were responsible for, mostly various data.
It was these data that shocked everyone secretly, because it fully demonstrated the power of Black Dragon City.
Let everyone present feel that power firsthand.
Naturally, the sense of belonging came up, and the thoughts in my heart were reduced and disappeared.
Li Daoqiang mostly listened quietly throughout the process and rarely spoke.
He calmly observed the mood swings of these talented people and waved them away.
Ignoring their thoughts, I closed my eyes and meditated alone.
This was also the first time that he had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the situation in Black Dragon City since the Western Territory was captured and stabilized.
Previously, these data were still being compiled and updated, and were uncertain and incomplete.
Coupled with the increase in the number of big robber points, he already has a clear understanding of this behemoth.
It stretches nearly 300,000 miles from east to west and nearly 400,000 miles from north to south.
There are four people at the third level of human and immortal under his command, a dozen people at the second level of human and immortal, and more than 130 people at the first level of human and immortal.
The monthly income is about 5.6 million jins of spiritual stones, and he controls a population of more than 20 billion.
The number of big bandit points increases by nearly 12,000 every month.
This is the result of his twenty years of struggle.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a surge of pride in his heart, but at the same time he felt strangely calm.
Suddenly, the will to control the world, suppress the world, and overthrow everything seems to be sublimating.
Li Daoqiang was so happy that he immediately came to the secret room and turned on the enlightenment function.
