Once the new city opened, it was quickly flooded with an endless stream of people.
Just as Qian Er had anticipated, these people could be said to have rushed in frantically.
After all, after the turmoil, Qian Er's territory was arguably too safe, and the value of a Beishi household registration was self-evident.
In particular, Ao Tianshun had also specifically sent people to spread the word, describing how terrifying the remaining demigod of the Icefang Dragon clan was, and how strong its strength was.
Qian Er could be said to be a gold-lettered signboard.
It was simply a case of supply falling far short of demand.
Soon, the third and fourth ring roads of the new city were packed with people.
Almost at the same time as the new city released its notice, the Yan Country government also issued a new policy.
That was to encourage childbirth.
The reason for this policy was also very simple, that was, the human race's population was not enough, leading to many territories that could be taken being given to other races.
Even if the other party became an affiliated race of the human race, in the end, it was still not as reliable as holding the entire territory in one's own hands.
What's more, the battle in Qian Er confirmed how powerful the human race really was to those above.
Or rather, how powerful Qian Er really was.
Therefore, the unification of the world by the human race, in the eyes of those above, was just around the corner.
When that time came, there would definitely be more territory, and the attraction of expanding the territory was simply too great.
However, if they wanted to see the actual effect of this plan, they would probably have to wait a long time.
The new city was very lively, bustling with activity, and the people who came in were all beaming with joy, including some young people who had long admired Qian Er and had their own ambitions, planning to gain Qian Er's appreciation here and make a name for themselves.
Qian Er also began to expand his lineup, with Zhang Fengye screening military generals and Ao Tianshun screening civil officials.
As for Guan Zhimin, he was selecting people with commercial ambitions. On the one hand, the new city government needed to recruit some of these talents for operation, and on the other hand, it also had to lay the foundation for the upcoming commercial district to flourish.
Qian Er's operating model in Beishi was that the government controlled some enterprises, but there also had to be some enterprises that existed as major taxpayers.
While this side was bustling with activity, on the other side, City Lord Zhang of Beishi could only be an empty-nest elder.
After all, Beishi always had to have someone watching over it, so City Lord Zhang complained bitterly every day.
On the other side, Yong Xuehai's conferral ceremony was also in preparation. With Zheng Xin, Yong Xuehai, and Qian Er, three great figures emerging one after another, the status of the Dark Arts department of the Imperial Academy was also rising.
It was just unknown what Teacher Shi Zhong would think after he came out.
The development of the new city was very smooth, and in a few days, everything here was on track.
The myriad races during this period could be said to be quite peaceful, and not a single bit of news came out.
It could be seen that they were also frightened by Qian Er.
That day had brought psychological shadows to countless alien races. The town king's many pets, including the town king himself, were all a crushing force to them, and they killed countless lives in one day.
To the point that, in the end, Qian Er's clothes were soaked through with the blood of the enemies.
After everything in the new city stabilized, Qian Er became an idle person again. He still hadn't thought of a very good solution to the problem of Dark Arts beastmasters.
So he decided to let the head of the last Icefang Dragon in the world hang on its neck for a few more days.
He would take it when he thought of a solution.
......
Yan Country, Capital City.
The people of the Ning faction were holding a meeting.
Zhou Nong pushed the door open and walked in. As Ning Tianman's disciple, and also because he was very pleasing to the elders and made a great contribution to the prosperity of the faction, he was also allowed to enter this kind of occasion.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Nong was stunned, looking at a table of old guys scratching their heads.
What was going on that could stump his uncles like this? Was this reasonable?
What could make them so worried must be something that would endanger the entire Yan Country!
Zhou Nong realized the seriousness of the matter, didn't dare to breathe loudly, and carefully walked behind his old mentor.
Ning Tianman sensed something, looked back at Zhou Nong, his old face full of worry.
"Little Nong, you have more say in this matter, so please tell us about it."
"I have a say?"
Zhou Nong almost couldn't believe his ears, but before he could be surprised, someone actually moved a chair for him.
This scared Zhou Nong badly. Although he was an outstanding young man in the faction, the people present were all veteran figures of the Ning faction.
Each of them could be said to have boundless power.
When attending meetings with them, Zhou Nong would at most stand behind his mentor.
"No, no, no, Little Nong, you really have a say in this matter, please tell us old guys about it quickly."
Zhou Nong was pressed into the chair, looking at the elders around him, at a loss.
"What is it?"
"It's about Town Heavenly King... oh no, Town King, what kind of things does he like? Didn't you have contact with him before?"
Ning Tianman looked at Zhou Nong with a face full of anticipation.
"... Is that all?"
"What do you mean 'is that all'? Isn't this important? It's too important, okay?"
Ning Tianman's face was full of seriousness.
The old men on the side also echoed one after another.
"Is there anything more important than this in Yan Country?"
"Otherwise, what else would require us old men to discuss here?"
Zhou Nong was a little confused.
"Little Nong, you must know that although we are now in power, we cannot always be in power."
Ning Tianman said earnestly: "Don't look at us standing at the top now, people must be prepared for danger in times of peace. Do you know that the old guys of the Wang faction have already extended an olive branch to Qian Er?"
"The Wang faction?"
"That's right, it's the faction that Ao Tianshun belongs to. This group of people is too calculating. They sent Ao Tianshun and others to Qian Er's Beishi at that time. Do you know what that means?"
"Qian Er's important confidants are actually from the Wang faction. Miscalculation, ah, miscalculation. In this way, they have taken the lead."
"From that time on, they had already planned to win over Qian Er. The reason why we didn't notice it was because they did it very secretly, sending messages to Qian Er through Ao Tianshun."
"Even I only recently discovered this."
As he said that, a look of annoyance appeared on Ning Tianman's face.
"When Qian Er's Beishi was most short of people, the Wang faction sent several very capable people to Qian Er, and let them be stationed in Beishi. Usually, they also often let Ao Tianshun convey messages to Qian Er."
"Too cunning, too cunning!"
You're not much better...
Muttering in his heart, Zhou Nong shook his head.
"Things that Qian Er likes? I don't know either..."
