Chapter 220 Rebuilding the Abandoned City

"Could it be that Senior Li secretly gave me some chance when I was sleeping just now?"

But this thought was denied as soon as it came up.

Because Li Changqiu's face was very strange after he recovered just now, and his tone had changed.

If he had given me some chance, he would definitely not have that attitude.

After thinking for a long time and not being able to come up with any answer, Lu Fan simply shook his head and was too lazy to think about it.

Anyway, the scene just now did not do any harm to him.

Jiang Shang looked at Lu Fan, whose expression kept changing, and then continued to ask:

"Lord, is there any danger to that token?"

Jiang Shang's question woke Lu Fan up, and he took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong."

He didn't plan to tell Jiang Shang and others about what happened in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold Key Space just now.

After all, this news was too shocking, and it was useless to tell Jiang Shang and others, but it would make them worry together.

What's more, the nine keys have not all recognized their masters now, so they will not be exposed in a short time.

But Lu Fan didn't dare to be careless.

After all, he couldn't be sure how many keys had been recognized.

According to what Li Changqiu said.

Once all nine keys recognized their masters, a strange phenomenon would break out in the world.

At that time, the top forces and top masters of the nine Shenzhous would know the whereabouts of the nine keys.

At that time, he would have to face the snatching of countless masters.

So now he must improve his cultivation as much as possible before he is exposed.

Not only to improve his own cultivation, but also to improve the strength of his subordinates and the entire Daqian.

To face so many top forces and top masters, it is not enough to rely on one's own strength.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Fan took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Shang and said:

"Ziya, this box of red sun stones and a box of black yin stones are all handed over to you.

The preparations for the establishment of the new army will start as soon as possible, and strive to complete the preparations for the new army in the shortest time, understand?"

At this moment, he already had an inexplicable sense of urgency, so all kinds of things must be accelerated.

After all, he had no way to ensure the time for the other eight keys to be recognized.

And there might be many keys that have already recognized their master.

So the only thing he can do is to increase his own strength as much as possible.

Only by mastering the powerful and terrifying power can he be fearless of all threats.

Although Jiang Shang didn't know why Lu Fan was so urgent, he nodded heavily after seeing Lu Fan's serious expression.

"Don't worry, lord, we will complete the establishment of the new army in the shortest time."

Lu Fan nodded slightly: "Speed ​​is necessary, but quality cannot be careless."

"And those important cities that were abandoned in the northern border must also be put into operation as soon as possible, and Shen Wansan will fully cooperate with the required resources.

In addition, I will contact Tianxiang and let them participate in the restoration of these abandoned cities."

Although these important cities were abandoned due to the continuous invasion of Tianwu barbarians and other reasons.

But it does not mean that these important cities have no value.

And in the true sense, these cities are not completely abandoned.

Because there are still a large number of cultivators in these so-called abandoned cities.

It's just that these cities were not under the jurisdiction of the County Magistrate's Office before, and there was no City Lord's Office, patrol guards and guards.

That's why they are called abandoned cities.

And the previous County Magistrate's Office did not have the strength to govern these abandoned cities.

After all, it takes a lot of manpower to govern these abandoned cities.

Not only do they need talents to manage the cities, but they also need a lot of soldiers.

Although the Zhenbei Army has reserves, it is impossible to use them to guard these cities.

After all, the patrol guards and guards of the Zhenbei Army and the northern cities are separate from each other, and the resources they spend are also independent of each other.

The Zhenbei Army's consumption is already very large, and it is impossible to bear the additional expenses of maintaining these cities.

The Zhenbei Army cannot afford it, and the County Magistrate's Office is even more impossible to bear it.

After all, the previous Northern County Magistrate's Office was almost a decoration, and even the county magistrates died suddenly two or three times in succession.

But these are all things in the past.

Now Lu Fan has initially controlled the Zhenbei Army and the three major cities, and he has both soldiers and food in his hands.

So he naturally would not let go of these abandoned cities.

These abandoned cities were a burden to the previous county governor's office, but not to him.

Let alone anything else.

The shops in these cities alone are a huge fortune.

If this point is used well, rebuilding these abandoned cities will not only not consume money, but will even make a lot of money.

This is why he mentioned Shen Wansan and Tianxiang.

The Beiqian Chamber of Commerce established by Shen Wansan was established too recently and has too little foundation to eat such a big piece of meat.

He was reluctant to give this big piece of fat meat to Tianxiang alone.

So it is the best choice to let Beiqian Chamber of Commerce and Tianxiang participate in it together.

After Lu Fan finished speaking, Jiang Shang immediately understood and nodded in agreement.

Even if Lu Fan didn't say it, he planned to bring it up to Lu Fan.

After all, those abandoned cities are located in relatively important positions and must be in his own hands.

Only in this way can the vast northern border be completely in his own hands.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to control the entire northern border with only the existing three cities.

After explaining the preparations for the establishment of a new army and the restoration of the abandoned cities, Lu Fan told Jiang Shang some other things.

After explaining all these, Lu Fan sent Jiang Shang away.

Cao Zhengchun did not leave. Lu Fan thought about it for a while and asked casually:

"The scale of the East Factory is still too small. The development speed is not slow, but it should be faster."

"Yes, my lord!"

"By the way, the division of responsibilities within the East Factory should be clearer, such as the intelligence group, the assassination group, the guard group..."

Originally, Lu Fan wanted to form different forces for these responsibilities.

For example, the East Factory is responsible for intelligence, assassination and guarding.

But now I have not summoned any new characters, and there are no people suitable for forming these forces.

So for the time being, I can only rely on the East Factory.

However, I can prepare in advance and group these responsibilities in advance.

When the time is right in the future, different groups can be directly separated and become independent forces.

Cao Zhengchun knew Lu Fan's plan very well, so he expressed his understanding on the spot.

In fact, he had already done this, and the responsibilities and levels within the East Factory were very clear.

After all, as a subordinate, you must have such a sense of crisis and solve problems for your lord in advance.

In this way, you can respond immediately when your lord needs you.

If you have to wait for the superior to give an order before you think of doing anything, then this subordinate is too incompetent.

Cao Zhengchun will naturally not be a stupid subordinate.

Of course, he didn't say all of this, just keep it in mind.

After telling Cao Zhengchun all this, Lu Fan hesitated for a while...
