One percent of the total population of Chang'an City is not a low proportion.
Because the vast majority of practitioners are not engaged in childbirth.
However, the system only requires practitioners to be practitioners, which means that there is no problem if they are all in the first realm.
In this way, the difficulty is much lower.
Zhang Dongyun checked the current population of Chang'an, and the system showed that it was 486,925 people.
After the original war, people from the surrounding areas defected to Chang'an one after another.
It was not until the Eastern Tang Dynasty imposed a blockade that Chang'an's population growth rate gradually declined.
There are 486,925 people. If it exceeds 1%, it means at least 4,869 people... No, it cannot be rounded up. It must be calculated as 4,870 people.
Zhang Dongyun checked the cards in his hand and found that this task was still somewhat difficult.
As far as he knew so far, there were 814 warriors in total who were among the soldiers of the Tang army who were at least the first level of cultivation.
There were originally less than two hundred formal disciples of the Hanshan Sect.
Because with the rising tide of Chang'an City, Hanshan Sect once again became the dominant force in Qinzhou Prefecture, opening doors and walls and recruiting many disciples.
But right now, there are people who have cultivated themselves, and there are at least four hundred people in their ranks.
And now more than half of them are outside the scope of Invincible City, in Qinzhou Prefecture and even Longbei County.
There are only 132 people in the city.
Of course, if necessary, they can all be brought back together.
The Pili Sect is in the same situation. There are one hundred and forty-seven people in the city right now. After taking back all the disciples with cultivation in Tongzhou and other places outside the city, the number is also around four hundred.
The Chen family fell and people fled, so the two groups together amounted to a total of only ninety-seven people.
Tingshan Academy also suffered a heavy death, less than a hundred people died, including some ordinary scholars without Confucian cultivation.
There are sixty-eight people in total who have cultivated their abilities.
The captives who were used as coolies were all practitioners, but the number was still limited.
There are forty-four people in White Horse Academy.
There are thirty-two members of the He family.
There are forty-one members of the Zheng family.
There are thirty-seven members of the Hu family.
Forty-six people forget the truth.
There are thirty-eight people in the Cheng family.
There were one hundred royal guards of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
There are seventy-nine people in Jingyue Tower.
There are sixty-five people in Gyeongbokgung Palace.
There are thirty-five people in Baihongfeng.
Thirty people from Songyang Academy.
There are fifty-six people in the Situ family.
Well, there are three people from Qingyun Temple and seven people from Ange...
There are a total of 548 people in the above, and the rest include the Blood Shadow Old Demon, Xu Xingzhi, Shang Jie, and any super person on our side, so the full number is 600.
All added together, it's about 2,400.
The distance from the requirement of 4870 is only half that.
This does not include the possibility that the total population of Chang'an will continue to increase during the completion of the task.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun sat back on his chair and thought silently.
Accepting the relocation of the Hu family was an unintentional move, but it was the right move.
If the Hu family could be moved here in their entirety, there would be a large number of warriors among them.
On the other hand, if Wangzhen Guan were to ask Taoist Zhichen to move all the Taoist priests to Chang'an, he might be frightened.
Among the remaining people, can Dahe Longmen and Lingxiao Sect "borrow" some people?
The Lingxiao sect had previously suffered a heavy blow from Tang Wang Li Xuanxin himself. It was severely damaged and had retreated to the snowy mountains of the Northeast again.
At present, they are still facing the purge of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and are in a bad situation.
If you invite them to come to Chang'an, will they agree?
While Zhang Dongyun was thinking, he projected Mr. Wuyun and mobilized his troops.
Collecting it from outside is one way.
It is also a way to make up the number first by cultivating a large number of first-level practitioners in the city.
Tingshan Academy can work with North and South City Academy to recruit a large number of new students.
Hanshan Sect, Pili Sect, your steps are not big enough, you should recruit more disciples.
The Chen family shouldn't hide it, they can recruit some disciples with foreign surnames to train and strengthen their own strength. Haven't you done this kind of thing before?
With so many soldiers of the Tang army being demoted, and all of them having good physical fitness, can they still find some seedlings who can practice martial arts?
Next, City Lord Zhang D tried his best to do whatever he could.
Of course, this kind of work is done by Mr. Wuyun, and he still has a reserved face on his face.
But having said that, if you want to embark on the path of spiritual practice, you must have the minimum qualifications.
The seemingly inconspicuous practitioners of the first and second realms have actually stumped all living beings.
The probability is only one percent, one thousandth, or even one ten thousandth that only one person among ordinary people can be able to embark on the path of spiritual practice.
There are currently less than 500,000 people in Chang'an City, so it is actually difficult to come up with thousands of potential seedlings.
The material selection area is too narrow.
This shows how difficult this construction task is.
City Lord Zhang began to think about expanding the scope of enrollment.
At present, Longbei County is separated from the Eastern Tang royal family and becomes a country within a country.
The total population of a county is quite large, so it is somewhat easier to select materials.
A certain city lord named Zhang was busy with the internal affairs of Chang'an. At the same time, the Eastern Tang Dynasty was also busy dealing with internal issues.
Inside Luyang City, the royal capital.
"Dahe Longmen is no better than Tingshan Academy. This time, the Zheng Qing family, the Situ Qing family, the Yan Qing family, and the Taoist priest Zhichen are here to help."
The king of Tang Dynasty sat high on his seat and looked at the people below with a smile.
Among those present was the contemporary head of the Zheng family, Zheng Tianfeng.
The current head of the Situ family, Situ Jinsheng.
The owner of Jingyue Building, Yan Xishi.
As well as the master of the Forgetfulness of Truth and the Daoist who adheres to the world.
The four people said one after another: "Your Majesty, you are welcome."
Beside them, there were several people standing, all of whom were members of the royal family of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The current eldest son of the Tang Dynasty prince, Li Hong.
The second son of the Tang Dynasty prince, Li Yi, the prince of Muping County.
There is also the uncle of the Tang royal family, the old prince Li Dong.
"This time, I have to ask Uncle Wang to take care of me." Tang Wang nodded slightly to Li Dong.
The old prince Li Dong was getting stronger and stronger, and his voice was loud: "Whatever the king said, I will help the Eastern Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion. I will do whatever I can to help you."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
King Tang looked to his side again.
The master of the Mingguang Pavilion, or Gao Yu, the master of the Dark Pavilion, presented several scrolls.
The king of Tang gave it to his second son Li Yi:
"This is your first time taking on such a big responsibility. Remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and listen more to the opinions of Uncle Wang and other ministers."
Li Yi, Prince of Muping County, stepped forward to receive the file: "I obey the order, please rest assured, father, I will definitely bring back the head of the master of Longmen."
"Remember not to underestimate the enemy."
After the King of Tang gave Li Yi instructions, he turned his attention to the eldest son Li Hong: "The logistics will be all needed. Hong'er, you and the Lu Qing family will take good care of it, so that there will be no worries ahead."
The prince Li Hong responded: "My son, I will obey the order and must personally check everything to ensure that there will be no oversights."
The King of Tang nodded, then stood up and said, "I wish all of you, your family, a triumphant return."
Everyone said in unison: "Borrow the king from the power of heaven."
After the court was over, everyone came out together and got ready to go.
"I wish you all the best of luck." Prince Li Hong simply greeted everyone and left in a hurry.
Muping County Prince Li Yi and Ange Pavilion Master Gao Yu stood side by side.
"Ha, I've never seen him look so embarrassed!" Li Yi looked at the departing figure of the crown prince Li Hong and laughed.
Gao Yu also showed a proud smile:
"Although he did not personally lead the army, he planned the two attacks on Chang'an, and both ended in defeat, with the loss of troops and generals.
Lu Meng, who was with him, attacked Tingshan, but also suffered a defeat, causing many people from Tingshan Academy to escape.
If nothing can be done, the king will naturally not trust them anymore."
Gao Yu glanced at Li Yi with a smile: "Next, it's up to you, Your Highness, to make contributions."
Li Yi, Prince of Muping County, smiled and said: "This requires your secret cabinet to give me more information."
Gao Yu was full of confidence: "Of course, let's work together to make a good show, so that Li Hong will never be able to stand up again."
When Li Yi heard this, he suddenly laughed proudly: "I have been waiting for this day!"
At this time, the manager of Da Neima suddenly came out: "Master Gao, the king has summoned you."
"We are about to leave. Is there something urgent that happened suddenly?" Gao Yu said hello to Li Yi, then turned around and entered the palace again with Manager Ma.
Muping County Prince Li Yi was waiting outside and did not leave for the time being.
After a while, a young man wearing Ange costume came near the palace gate. Seeing that Gao Yu was not there, he waited outside the palace.
The young man saluted Li Yi, Prince of Muping County.
"No gift." Li Yi walked up to the young man with a smile.
He said in a voice that only the other two could hear: "Murong, come and help me."
The expression of the young man named Murong Ting remained unchanged: "Your Highness is so kind to you, and Murong Ting cannot repay his love. It's just that I am currently responsible for the errands of Mingguang Pavilion and obey the orders of the Pavilion Master..."
"Murong, don't speak secretly in front of people. I know that you are the one with real ability. Please don't deal with me anymore." Li Yi said in a low voice.
Murong Ting was slightly silent.
After a while, his lips moved and his voice was inaudible:
"It is the king's order for me to follow the master of the pavilion. I will pretend that I have never heard of what His Highness said today."
Li Yi smiled slightly: "You can take orders from your father, or you can take orders from me. In short, you don't have to take orders from Gao Yu."
Murong Ting stood silently without saying a word, like a statue without any expression.
Li Yi's smile widened, he said nothing more and left with a smile.
In addition to Wangzhenguan, the Situ family, the Zheng family and Jingyue Tower, the Eastern Tang army had already broken out of camp and set out in multiple directions to the mountain gate of Dahe Longmen to surround it.
Li Yi, Gao Yu, Zheng Tianfeng, Yan Xishi and others gathered and set out, and soon caught up with the army.
Shangnan, Shangbei and other counties, located on both sides of the middle reaches of the river, had long been blocked by the Tang army on three levels outside.
Now that the elite Tang army arrived, the encirclement immediately began to shrink.
"The Longmen rebels are showing signs of abandoning the mountain and escaping, and the detectives are tracking them."
After hearing the report from the front line, Muping County Prince Li Yi sneered: "Don't you think it's too late?"
He immediately gave the order to speed up.
Situ Jinsheng, the head of the Situ family, followed Li Yi: "We need to beware of the Chang'an rebellion and rush to the aid of Dahe Longmen."
"I know, uncle, please don't worry."
Li Yiyan said: "This battle is very important to me. Please help me, uncle."
"This is why I'm here, veteran." Situ Jinsheng held the black gold spear upside down.
The Tang army arrived at the bank of the river. Looking from a distance, they could see several large ships, which were strangely facing the wind and waves and going upstream.
"The dragon boats at Longmen of the Dahe River." Li Yi ordered: "Destroy them!"
