On this day, Jiang Ping'an and Princess Yunhua were drinking and admiring flowers in the backyard. The maid Ye Wenxing came in and reported, "Master, Zhang Chengyi wants to see you."
"Xuan." Jiang Ping'an said.
Ye Wenxing went to call Zhang Zhe, but Princess Yunhua took the initiative to get up and leave.
After all, Princess Yunhua is here to get married and cannot interfere in Ping'an City's affairs. Some people even taboo to listen in.
Not long after, Zhang Zhe came in to meet Jiang Ping'an.
Zhang Zhe said, "Sect Master, now the Ping'an City population is increasing. Although it is prosperous and lively, the Heavenly Essence in the city has also been affected and is not so strong."
"In addition, many people have no work and cannot even maintain their livelihood."
Jiang Ping'an heard this and asked, "How many people are there Ping'an City now?"
"Almost five million." Zhang Zhe replied.
Jiang Ping'an said in surprise and joy, "The population is growing so fast?"
Zhang Zhe said, "Because of your sage, you have provided a lot of maternity protection, so everyone has no worries about having children. Some people even make a career out of giving birth to receive insurance."
"Well, as expected, don't attack those people." Jiang Ping'an said, "With more people and greater strength, we can occupy more territory. If one day the territory is not enough, we will just expand."
"Yes." Zhang Zhe bowed respectfully.
After a pause, Zhang Zhe continued, "The attraction of Ping'an City's prosperity and stability is getting stronger and stronger. A large number of people have actively migrated in, and even people from other continents have been attracted to settle here."
Jiang Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "You want to propose that I build a new city?"
"Sect Master is wise." Zhang Zhe said, "My subordinates have an immature suggestion: build another city in the center of Black Abyss River Plain, relying on the Black Abyss River's main tributary Azure River. After building the city there, we Human Race can fully develop the fertile Black Abyss River Plain."
"Building a city will not only evacuate the population, but also provide jobs to many people who have no livelihood. It kills three birds with one stone."
Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "The proposal is good. Building a new city requires someone to preside over it. Who do you think is suitable?"
Zhang Zhe said, "My subordinates believe that Song Siming, Zhang Kaiguang and Wang Zhiyuan should be competent."
The three people he mentioned are of course disciples of the Heaven's Mandate Sect, and have the cultivation level of the Law Manifestation Realm.
Jiang Ping'an had a good impression of these three people, but he did not decide on the candidate immediately. Building a new city is a major event, the first step in the expansion of his power, and must be done carefully.
Jiang Ping'an summoned Song Siming, Zhang Qiguang and Wang Zhiyuan respectively to examine their abilities.
In addition, he also summoned several candidates he thought were good.
After some investigation and comparison, Jiang Ping'an officially selected Song Siming as the presiding officer for the new city construction.
"Thank you Sect Master." Song Siming knelt down with tears in his eyes with excitement.
The new city builder is not only a good job, but may also be appointed as the new city's mayor after the city is built.
The power Zhang Zhe possesses is obvious to all.
Jiang Ping'an stood up and stepped forward to help Song Siming, smiling and saying, "Don't be happy yet, this is a heavy burden. If you preside over the construction of the new city, I will hold you accountable."
"Please Sect Master rest assured." Song Siming promised excitedly, "I will definitely build the new city beautifully. If there are any mistakes, please Sect Master chop off my head to warn others!"
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's what you said."
The news that a new city was going to be built spread, and the whole Ping'an City was excited, because it meant that a huge investment opportunity was coming.
For new city construction funds, Jiang Ping'an still uses the Ping'an City fundraising model. Everyone can invest and get contribution value. After completion, priority is given to using the contribution value to buy land and houses.
Although there is no shortage of Essence Stones in building the new city this time, Jiang Ping'an still explicitly ordered to contribute value to those who participated in the construction of the new city. After the completion of the new city, they can be allocated land or houses.
Because the investment intention was too hot, there were too many Essence Stones willing to invest, so Jiang Ping'an had to order a limit on the maximum investment amount, so that the people at the bottom would not be able to drink even a drop of soup.
He himself must abide by it.
However, his idea of adhering to the maximum investment limit was quickly dissuaded by a group of senior executives.
The reason is that if he invests too little, no one will be safe. Without his protection, no matter how big or well-built the city was, it would not be safe, and not many people would dare to live in it.
After some deliberation, Jiang Ping'an had to invest one-tenth, and he had no choice but to invest in Essence Stones according to this requirement.
In addition to investment opportunities, there are countless job opportunities generated during the city's construction process. As Zhang Zhe said, many people at the bottom have gained a livelihood and seen hope.
More than a month later, after an on-site inspection, Jiang Ping'an finalized the site for the new city and decided on the name of the new city, Moonrise City.
He originally wanted to use his mother's name, but he was worried that Foreign Race Saint and Demon Emperor would associate him with him, so he had to change it to "Wangyue".
After the construction site was decided, and the people, horses and materials were prepared, the construction soon started in full swing.
Azure River City's defensive array and Spirit Gathering Array were of course built by Liu Xixu.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Jiang Ping'an came back from Northern Ice Plains.
On this day, Shen Shui'er asked to see him.
Shen Shui'er saluted respectfully to Jiang Ping'an and said, "Master, this disciple is preparing to be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm."
Jiang Ping'an did not answer immediately. He was silent for a while and then said, "You are practicing very fast. You will be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm in less than twelve years. I am very happy and proud to be my teacher."
"You are all cultivated by Master. You not only provide your disciples with exercises, but also provide almost unlimited practice resources. You are as kind as a mountain to your disciples, and I will never forget them." Shen Shui'er said with emotion.
Jiang Ping'an said, "I know your filial piety. I would like to remind you that the "Heavenly One Water Manifestation Art" you practice is a quick success method. Your magic power is shallower than others. It is not that your talent is bad, but the problem of the technique."
"Promoting to the Dao Inquiry Realm also requires facing Heavenly Tribulation, and it is more than a hundred times more dangerous than Heavenly Tribulation when promoting to the Law Manifestation Realm."
"My teacher advises you not to be in a hurry to be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm, but leave Ping'an City and hone yourself for a while before being promoted."
Shen Shui'er became silent and did not immediately follow Jiang Ping'an's suggestion.
The outside world is very dangerous, and she has never really left Ping'an City. The few times she went to Blackwater Lake with Jiang Ping'an and went to Spirit Connection Great Canyon to test the new Magic Tool refined by Jiang Ping'an.
In her childhood memories, people were eaten by Foreign Race and monsters.
Ye Tieshi came back several times after going out to practice and told her and other classmates about the situation outside and how he escaped from death.
Jiang Ping'an Seeing that Shen Shui'er was spoiled and unwilling to go out to practice, he had no choice but to say, "You don't have to go out if you don't want to. Well, you go ask your senior brother Luo Xingchen or sixth junior sister Ye Qiuyue wants "Heaven's Mandate Scripture" and practice "Heaven's Mandate Scripture" seriously. When you practice "Heaven's Mandate Scripture" to the Law Manifestation Realm, you will be promoted to the Dao Inquiry Realm."
""Heavenly One Water Manifestation Art" is considered to be derived from "Heaven's Mandate Scripture". You should get twice the result with half the effort by practicing "Heaven's Mandate Scripture" and there will be no barriers."
Shen Shui'er said, "Yes, thank you Master for your guidance. Disciple, go practice "Heaven's Mandate Scripture"."
Jiang Ping'an nodded slightly. "Go."
"Disciple, please leave." Shen Shui'er said, then turned and left.
She felt quite disappointed. She thought the master would be very happy, but unexpectedly he poured cold water on her.
Jiang Ping'an looked at Shen Shui'er's back with worry on his face.
He created "Great Geng Profound Origin Art", "Azure Wood Longevity Art", "Heavenly One Water Manifestation Art" and "Li Fire Heaven Burning Art" based on "Dao Scripture" " and "Virtue Bearing Earth Origin Art", not only his Registered Disciple practice, Ping'an City most of the new generation practice these five techniques.
These five skills are indeed fast to practice, and they quickly improve Ping'an City's overall strength. However, Heavenly Tribulation's ability is relatively poor and easy to lose.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ping'an used Celestial Speech Transmission and ordered Zhang Zhe in the inner city government office, "Zhang Zhe, come see me immediately."
The only way to remedy this is to announce it through a city order, letting everyone know that he has practiced "Great Geng Profound Origin Art", "Azure Wood Longevity Art", "Heavenly One Water Manifestation Art", and "Li Fire Heaven Burning Art" and "Virtue Bearing Earth Origin Art". Before being promoted to the Law Manifestation Realm, Dao Inquiry Realm, etc., you need to face Heavenly Tribulation. It is best to practice "Heaven's Mandate Scripture" from beginning to end.
