No one expected that Jian Renlong led 8,000 troops to attack the city in a fierce manner. In the end, he gave away his head, but also gave Ling Xueyi the most trusted Black Armored Army.

This is the treatment of the chosen daughter, and there is God's blessing in the dark.

Someone who is interested secretly pondered it, and had to sigh that the female city lord had good luck.

In the past, Ling Xueyi could not afford to support eight thousand soldiers with the decline of the Ling family, which was different from a few days ago. She first searched the richest Sun family, and then destroyed the Wu family and Zhao family a few days later. The wealth obtained by the proprietress was enough to support the army of 10,000 people for three or five years.

Such a chosen daughter, giving her three or five years to develop and level up, will usher in a pattern that shocks the world.

After conquering the Black Armored Army, Ling Xueyi used thunder methods to announce three major events.

First, Wutong City was promoted from a county town to a prefecture city, and it was limited to surrounding counties and towns within three days.

Second, to celebrate the re-upgradation of Wutong City into a mansion after a hundred years, the original Wutong City area is exempted from duty for two years. Foreign merchants, or craftsmen and farmers with skilled skills, are willing to immigrate to Wutong City and enjoy tax-free treatment.

Third, officially invite the Warlock Guild to settle in!

Only the first of these three major events is normal, and the other two are all broken through the sky.

Today, the Shenzhou Empire is divided into three main jurisdictions: provinces, prefectures, and counties.

Often, a big brother appeared in several county towns and proclaimed himself the lord of a mansion, making the surrounding counties and villages surrender. Jian Renlong did this in the past, upgrading Heilong County to Heilong Mansion. At that time, even Wutong City had to pay tribute every year, which was nominally an affiliated jurisdiction of Heilong City.

Now Ling Xueyi has defeated Jian Renlong and has become an elder sister in turn, without any resistance.

The road to becoming a pro-department is easier than that of Jian Renlong, and all the obstacles are clear and clean.

For example, the original major families in Heilong City were long ago eliminated by Jian Renlong, and now they can't even find a thorn.

For example, Qingsong County and Baiyun County, after being affected by the Black Armies, there were no more rebels. Now, when the heads of the two counties received the news, they immediately sent an envoy to express their willingness to surrender to Wutong City.

Wutong City has also been upgraded to a mansion, which is also of heritage. A hundred years ago, this was a mansion with hundreds of thousands of people.

Later, he encountered a monster siege and experienced several wars, which led to a sharp decline in the population and survived until today there were only 100,000 people left.

No matter what, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. This ancient city that has been through thousands of years of hardships will not be a problem if it is carefully repaired and accommodates hundreds of thousands of permanent residents.

What really shocked the world is the second news: two years of tax exemption!

Not to mention the distance, there has never been a tax-free lord for hundreds of miles around.

Happiness came too suddenly, and the people couldn't believe it was true. Some people even suspected that there was a trick hidden in it, and they wanted to fool a large number of refugees into Wutong City to be coolies. Once they went there, they might not be able to get out in their entire lives.

Some local tyrants and bad gentry who are not short of money are also waiting and watching. They understand one thing: tax exemption is equivalent to becoming the target of public criticism. It is hard to say how many days Wutong City can be glorious.

If tax exemption scares the world and makes people beep, then the third thing Ling Xueyi announced has scared people so much that their hearts popped up.

Inviting the Warlock Guild to settle in means too much, not everyone can do it easily.

The history of the Warlock Guild is far beyond that of the Shenzhou Empire and has existed as early as the ancient times.

This is a neutral, credible ancient organization with branches in major cities.

The keyword is "major cities".

Since thousands of years ago, the Warlock Guild has explicitly stipulated that branch bases should be set up in cities with more than 200,000 people.

This prerequisite sounds very simple, but it is difficult to actually operate.

In this chaotic era, life is worthless, and many cities have become dead cities, and cities with a size of 200,000 people rarely appear in the border areas.

The one and three counties familiar to the people around Wutong City is a living example. The so-called one and three counties refer to the three counties, namely the Heilong Mansion, Wutong City, Qingsong City, and Baiyun City.

Back then, Jian Renlong used force to suppress many villages and towns and captured many people from the villages and towns, but he did not gather 200,000 people. Later, after capturing Qingsong City, many native locals were unwilling to leave their hometowns. Under the pressure of the Black Armor Army, they went on a hunger strike to protest, which made Jian Renlong so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Even if he is as cruel as Jian Renlong, he can only kill a few thorns to vent his anger. There is no way to take the tens of thousands of people in Qingsong City. After all, these people can farm and manage, which is more blunt and can pay taxes. As a prince of a country, Jian Renlong has a different perspective on the problem. If he really wants to massacre the city and destroy tens of thousands of people, it is equivalent to cutting off his own financial path.

Back to the point, the third thing Ling Xueyi announced made many people think she was foolish.

The permanent population of Wutong City is 110,000, and there is still 90,000 people short of it. It is not that easy to raise 200,000.

Judging from Jian Renlong's real case back then, it would be great if he could get 150,000 people.

No one expected that the person who actually proposed to invite the Warlock Guild was actually Wang Mu.

It can only be said that those local tyrants and bad gentry who remained waiting and watched were too underestimating the attractiveness of tax exemption. According to Wang Mu's understanding of the game plot, tax exemption not only attracts the people of one prefecture and three counties, but also has more advertising effects and can attract refugees a hundred miles away.

He had reason to believe that the population of Wutong City could exceed 200,000 in one month, attracting the entry of the Warlock Guild.

In this era, the entry of the Warlock Guild has a symbolic significance: the city is quite large and the lord is loved by others, and it is a place worth settling...

In addition to spiritual symbolism, there is another more realistic meaning: auction house!

In this chaotic era, if an auction is held, there must be a prerequisite: to reassure both buyers and sellers.

This prerequisite is not easy to achieve, and both buyers and sellers need a reliable intermediary.

And this middleman who makes the difference is often the Warlock Guild.

The auction conferences in many big cities must be held by the Warlock Guild.

From Wang Mu's perspective, establishing a branch of the Warlock Guild in Wutong City is equivalent to building a platform.

How important the trading platform is? Sister Wang, who travels through time and space, knows more clearly than the indigenous people in this world.

As long as the platform is built, there will definitely be no shortage of financial supporters.

And Wutong City’s son-in-law Chuli will surely become the biggest beneficiary of this platform.

Don’t forget that the man who is placing the hang-up machine has a lot of good things stored in the virtual inventory.

For example, if the marrow-cleaning fruit is recovered, the system can only redeem wealth of 100,000 yuan, and it can be sold for 200,000 taels of silver at the auction house.
