Through the blue sky eyes above Shen Herong's head, Zhang Dongyun in the Daming Palace watched them leave Chang'an.
It is still difficult to say whether the Magic Sky Dragon is Ao Kong or not.
If so, hopefully they can successfully bring each other back.
Zhang Dongyun sat back on his chair and looked at the water mirror reflected in front of his eyes.
From Longbei County, where Chang'an is located, to Xinyuan County, it will still take some time with Huiming's strength.
While they were on their way, City Lord Zhang D focused his mind on his Tianshu Palace.
The guardian training mission is now very close to reaching the standard.
However, there is still some distance to go in the construction and experience tasks.
While Zhang Dongyun recalled similar things on Blue Star in his previous life, he compared the current reality of Chang'an City in detail.
First, business and tax aspects need to be planned out.
The east and west cities of Chang'an currently have their own responsible persons.
But in addition to the east and west cities, Chang'an City should also continue to develop commerce and expand its network as it expands.
Especially now, Chang'an in the broad sense is not only covered by Invincible City, but also includes the more peripheral Longbei County, and even Hexi County, which is now gradually included halfway.
For businesses such as turquoise crystal or lumber, you can also leave it to a dedicated person to expand the business, instead of Mr. Wu Yun having to shoulder the responsibility himself.
In terms of taxation, as Longbei County and Hexi County are brought under control, all local affairs must be brought under their own government affairs framework.
If the imperial power does not go to the countryside, this is definitely not allowed.
Of course, limited by the cost of message transmission, even in this world where practitioners have vast supernatural powers and can move mountains and seas, this aspect still requires careful efforts to achieve results.
I believe that Longbei County and Hexi County need to establish their own interpretive context in Chang'an.
The capillaries below gather together to reach Tianshu Hall, and they also need a large blood vessel of their own.
Chang'an City also needed the transportation and communications departments on Blue Star in the previous life.
In order for authority to penetrate into local areas, these two departments are even more important.
Chang'an City's future control and influence cannot be limited to Longbei and Hexi counties.
From this perspective, agriculture, water conservancy, etc. must be upgraded to the agenda.
Chang'an City initially accommodated a large number of refugees and was able to solve the most important problem of food. It relied on City Lord Zhang to use the invincible city to forcibly reclaim the world, work hard to grow seedlings, and used the massive amount of spiritual energy as fertilizer, which even affected the climate near the world to a certain extent. Harvest a large amount of food within a time period and solve the problem of feeding people in the city.
But this method can only be used within Invincible City, and cannot be used outside Invincible City and the vast world outside Qinzhou Prefecture.
Of course he could risk his life growing grain and vegetables in the city, and then transport it and sell it to various places.
But if time had not forced him to do so, Zhang Dongyun would not have liked this unhealthy way of operating.
...Besides, this requires a lot of effort and effort on his part.
The lazy Lord Zhang still hopes to rule the vast number of people and take action on his own.
Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Of course, he can provide some help in the early stages.
For example, Tiangong Palace can cooperate with the agriculture and water conservancy departments under Tianshu Palace to innovate agricultural tools, even select and breed improved seeds, and even research high-efficiency fertilizers in this world.
After the results were achieved in the city, they spread out to other places outside the city through efficient networks.
Right now, we just need to put up these shelves first.
City Lord Zhang used a hammer in the east and a stick in the west to find out the departments under the jurisdiction of His Highness Tianshu bit by bit.
Other than that, it's actually okay to say that as a time-traveler from Blue Star society, there is something that Zhang Dongyun is really worried about.
bank.
If an advanced financial system can be established, it will have a huge impact on this world with a feudal social background.
When it first appeared, it was even possible to reduce the dimensionality and attack neighboring regimes.
You may not be able to defeat them without using force.
But hitting the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family with an economic stick and a real stick will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Before the other party can fight, they themselves will be in chaos.
Maybe they will be sent back to slave society...
But the embarrassing part is that City Lord Zhang himself doesn’t know much about how to play that game, at least he has only a partial understanding of it.
Changan's current talent pool does not have similar talents. After a few reminders from him, the other party immediately became enlightened and built a Blue Star financial system from scratch.
City Lord Zhang could only bury this thought in his heart again.
However, things like banks and banknotes do have a basis for existence, and this world has gradually taken a similar shape.
After all, the world here is too vast and too big.
Too many metal currency belts are too inconvenient for most people.
City Lord Zhang was very busy in Tianshu Hall
The news that Tianshu Hall was to be restructured and expanded quickly spread throughout the city.
Everyone rushed to tell each other, and they were all very excited.
Similar departments focus on relevant talents rather than simply using force as the criterion.
This has aroused the thoughts of many mortals besides practitioners.
Of course, there are always only a few who can stand out.
After all, the cultivators who competed with them were also extremely outstanding in other conditions besides force.
Demonic and martial arts may not have an advantage in this regard, but the situation is different for Taoist and Confucian practitioners.
When they were in the first realm, their actual combat performance improved, but they may not be much better than ordinary people.
But their souls are agile and their minds are quick, making it easier for them to learn knowledge or handle analytical matters.
The higher the realm, the more so.
This is the reason why in most of the bureaucracies above the imperial court in several major dynasties, Confucian practitioners had a numerical advantage.
If ordinary people want to compete with them, they must have expertise that is different from ordinary people in some aspects.
However, as long as Chang'an City gave hope, everyone became eager.
Zhang Dongyun is happy to see this happen, but he doesn't care whether the other person is a mortal or not.
As long as you can help him work well.
Let’s promote talent in any way.
Just when Zhang Dongyun was busy with matters related to Tianshu Palace, Guo Zi, the leader of Hanshan Sect, suddenly sent a message.
"People from Northern Qi?" Zhang Dongyun raised his eyebrows slightly.
Guo Zi nodded: "There is an elder in our sect who traveled north to the Northern Qi Dynasty when he was young and made some friends there.
As a result, this time, an old friend of his came to the door and acted as a mediator, saying that the Northern Qi royal family intended to send envoys to Chang'an and wanted to see your opinion."
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun rolled his eyes.
Then he projected Mr. Wuyun and said: "Accurate."
Guo Zi hurriedly resigned and went to contact the intermediary to inform Northern Qi that Chang'an would welcome him.
After the news spread, Beiqi quickly responded again.
An envoy was immediately formed and set off for Chang'an.
The Northern Qi envoys and deputy envoys showed up, rushed back and forth, and were responsible for specific affairs on the road.
The envoy stayed in the chariot all day without seeing anyone.
In his car, besides himself, there was a young woman.
However, the two of them sat opposite each other and just chatted.
"Your Highness, Chang'an is really so powerful that the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty is completely helpless?" the woman asked.
The man in black clothes in front of her is Gao Jun, the sixth son of the current Northern Qi ruler, who is also the official envoy of this Northern Qi mission.
It was he who pushed for the Northern Qi envoy to Chang'an this time.
"Junior sister Yang, just call me senior brother as before." Gao Jun said with a smile.
Yang Yulin, a direct disciple of Wutianfeng, a famous family in the Northern Qi Dynasty, smiled and shook his head: "This is an envoy, His Highness is an official envoy, so it is better to follow the rules."
Gao Jun smiled and stopped correcting:
"If you really say that the entire Eastern Tang Dynasty would not be able to build a city of Chang'an, that's not necessarily the case.
At least, Li Xuanxin, Hong Xiao, and Qingye, the three ninth-level masters, have not made a move yet, and many eighth-level masters have not moved either.
Now Li Yi and nephew and uncle Situ Jinsheng are in trouble. It is too early to say that Chang'an is unbreakable.
Of course, they have also proved that at least two eighth-level masters cannot defeat them, and Chang'an is definitely a giant."
Yang Yulin nodded first, and then said: "However, the news from the Eastern Tang Dynasty may be wrong. Li Yi and Situ Jinsheng may not be the only two masters who were killed in Chang'an City."
"Yes, that's why I said at least two." Gao Jun smiled and nodded: "They probably have ninth level masters."
Yang Yulin said: "That is indeed a giant."
The internal situation of the Northern Qi Dynasty was different from that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
The Gao family of the Northern Qi royal family was not as powerful in their own country as the Li family was in the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
In the territory of Northern Qi, in addition to the current King of Qi who is a master of the ninth realm, there are also five other masters of the ninth realm.
They each run their own sect and are both known as giants.
Wutian Peak is one of them.
Although the five major forces often have conflicts with each other, they sometimes unite to suppress the royal family.
The relationship between the royal family and these five major sects is also divided and combined.
The two sides sometimes have disputes, but they also often unite.
The most outstanding among the princes of Qi all studied in these five major sects.
In recent years, the situation in Northern Qi has been quite strange.
Gao Jun and others are scattered among the five major sects. The royal family supports them to keep improving. Their strength and power in their respective sects are getting stronger and stronger, and they almost have the potential to become the helmsmen of their respective sects.
But in turn, this almost eliminated their hope of inheriting the throne.
However, when it comes to the major factions, on the one hand, they prevent them from getting close to the core authority, and on the other hand, they support them in competing for the throne, and their status in the royal family continues to rise.
Both sides kept betting on Gao Jun and others, and kept secretly wary of them.
Both attracting and repelling, hoping to take advantage of the other side and cooperate with themselves internally and externally.
Gao Jun and others are well aware of their situation and are trying to exploit both parties to gain capital for themselves.
The entire Northern Qi Dynasty formed an extremely strange balance.
"If my second brother hadn't been obstructing me, this trip would have taken shape long ago." Gao Jun looked out of the car.
The relationship between the Northern Qi and the Eastern Tang was good, and they often even formed alliances to jointly fight against other dynasties.
Among them, the second son of King Qi was the key figure to bridge the gap.
With the rise of Chang'an, Longbei County was bordering the Northern Qi Dynasty.
The reason why the reaction of the Northern Qi Dynasty was one step slower than that of the Western Zhou Dynasty was because of the internal disputes between the various forces.
