This is a vast but very old palace. Although no walls have collapsed, cracks, moss, and traces of wind and rain can be seen in many places.
In the main hall, a group of people stood in front of Lin Chen and others with frightened and excited expressions.
"Veteran Minister Situ Min, pay homage to the Lord of the Kingdom!"
After confirming Lin Chen's identity, the old man at the head was the first to kneel to the ground, and the others followed suit.
The old man's name was Situ Min. Before Lin Chen came here, he was managing all the affairs in this territory.
Now that Lin Chen comes over, he will become Lin Chen's subject, and he will assist Lin Chen in managing this territory from now on.
Lin Chen knew about this person's existence before he came over.
Originally, he thought that the other party would not be very happy with his arrival.
After all, if he does not come, there will be no king in this territory, then Situ Min will be equivalent to the acting king. It can be said that he is the emperor of this territory! In this case, he should not want to see him coming, after all
In that case, the management rights of this territory would be equivalent to passing from his hands to his own.
As a result, Situ Min's performance was different from what he expected.
The other party looked excited and very happy for Lin Chen's arrival.
Lin Chen observed the other party's expression and couldn't see any pretense.
Lin Panpan didn't think as much as Lin Chen did, and immediately said: "We came all the way and found that this territory is very desolate.
Let me ask you, is it because when you were managing this territory, you monopolized the power and took all the benefits into your own hands, which led to it becoming like this?"
The old man's strength was very weak to Lin Chen, but he was still in the early stage of the Supreme Realm and was stronger than Lin Panpan.
But when faced with Lin Panpan's questioning, he was extremely frightened and said quickly: "It's unfair, I have been unfairly accused!"
Others also spoke quickly, saying that Situ Min was definitely not that kind of person. From this scene, Lin Chen judged that Situ Min was very popular.
"Panpan, don't make random guesses about things without evidence, so as not to unjustly accuse good people."
At this time, Ye Yiren stepped forward and asked Situ Min: "Is this territory always so desolate and barren?"
Situ Min looked at Ye Yiren with grateful eyes and said hurriedly: "This should be the Queen?"
Ye Yiren smiled lightly and did not deny it.
From the corner of his eye, Situ Min glanced at the group of top beauties beside Lin Chen, and he knew in his heart that these were also queens.
He didn't show the slightest surprise and continued: "Young man, please see the queen.
This territory has not always been so desolate and barren! Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was called the Dragon Kingdom and had a king.
The leader of the country was also the captain of the demon-suppressing army, but he later fell into the hands of evil spirits outside the world. Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom had no leader since then.
Before the death of that king, the Dragon Kingdom was actually extremely prosperous, with a population of over 10 billion.
Today, the population living in this territory is less than 100 million."
From over 10 billion to less than 100 million, the gap is too big! Everyone finally understood why they saw so many abandoned old cities along the way. Obviously, those cities were probably once prosperous and lively, and now they are
The city is empty after people leave, and it cannot be compared with the past.
"Where have all those people gone?"
Lin Panpan asked immediately.
It is impossible for such a large population to disappear for no reason.
Situ Min said: "They all went to Tianyun Kingdom next door.
The main cities in Tianyun Kingdom are equipped with powerful spirit gathering formations, and the various cultivation resources are much stronger than those here.
In the past, many cities in our Dragon Kingdom also had powerful spirit gathering arrays, and all kinds of cultivation resources were available, but those things were all consumables.
Even if it is a spirit gathering array, it still needs maintenance and materials are constantly consumed.
To put it simply, with the fall of the king, the Dragon Kingdom is declining day by day, and all the people are running away."
When Lin Chen heard this, he secretly thought that after the death of the king, the country began to weaken. In other words, the so-called cultivation environment and various cultivation resources basically came from the king?
From this point of view, it is no wonder that many members of the Demon Suppressing Army are not interested in becoming kings or even city lords.
After all, it can't bring any practical benefits at all. Now it seems that not only do we have to devote time and energy, but we also need to provide various resources to maintain the operation of the country! He said what he was thinking, and Situ Min nodded somewhat awkwardly.
: "It is indeed similar to what you think, Lord.
If you want to repair the capital and give the city a new look, and if you want to rebuild a powerful spirit gathering array here, or even redeem various training resources needed by citizens, you don’t need to do it yourself, you only need to provide merit points
That’s it.
If it comes to repairing the capital and renovating buildings, there is a Shengong Pavilion within the Demon Suppressing Army that is dedicated to doing this kind of thing. Even if they have to renovate all the cities in the country, it is an easy task for them.
The premise is that you must provide corresponding merit points.
Similarly, for various other matters, you can also contact the corresponding departments within the Demon Suppressing Army. As long as you have enough merit points, then everything will not be a problem!"
"..." Looking at the longing looks of Situ Min and the people behind him, Lin Chen was speechless for a while, and finally understood why the other party did not reject his arrival at all, but was actually very excited.
Is this person treating themselves as a cash machine?
In their eyes, are you just a bunch of merit points?
At this stage of the matter, if Lin Chen no longer wants to be the leader of the country, he can still leave directly.
However, the reason he came here was to provide a good environment for his family, especially when he saw the excitement of Lin Panpan and Lin Tian, it was worth paying a price.
Among them, there are also reasons for Ye Yiren, Su Man and others.
These girls like management and doing business. If this is the case, then just send them to a country to have fun, as long as they are happy.
"How many merit points are needed to repair all the capital and inhabited cities within the country and set up the spirit gathering array?"
Lin Chen asked.
Situ Min was very excited and said hurriedly: "I have roughly calculated this before, two merit points are definitely enough!"
"Two merit points?"
Lin Chen was stunned.
Situ Min thought that Lin Chen was too much, so he thought for a while and said: "One merit point is enough. Except for the capital, other cities can be simply repaired. There is no need to use too good materials for the spirit gathering array.
In this way, you can get it done with just one merit point!"
Lin Chen originally thought that this was probably a big expense. After doing it for a long time, 2 merit points would be enough. If it was too much, 1 merit point would be fine too?
It turned out that I had made a mistake.
It's not like a cash machine at all, it's just like pulling out the hair and giving it to the other party and everything is done!
