Planning Azure Cloud Town

"Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother!"

The meeting had just ended when Jiang Zhiqiu chased after Zhang Yang and came out.

His mission is to expand Azure Cloud Town Zhang San within five years, turning it into Azure Cloud City, a metropolis with a population of one million.

The task was assigned to him, but he had absolutely no clue how to do it.

We can't just buy our way into a big city, can we?

He had to get something from his Eldest Senior Brother, otherwise he worried he wouldn't be able to complete his goal.

"Wait a moment!" Zhang Yang gestured to Jiang Zhiqiu, "I'll come back to talk to you after I've escorted Senior Gu to the West Mountain Forbidden Zone."

He had to take care of settling Gudoer properly, since only he and his master could pass through that restricted area at the moment, and he couldn't let his master personally escort Gudoer!

"Senior Gu, please wait a moment. I'll take you to meet the other seniors after I've finished arranging other matters," Zhang Yang said to Gudoer.

Gudoer didn't take it to heart and gestured for Zhang Yang to do as he pleased.

After Zhang Yang left, the other four Demon Lord surrounded him, asking curiously, "What are they doing?"

Gudoer gazed intently at the surrounding restrictions and slowly said, "This kid is more powerful than I imagined... It looks like we'll have to help him for the next twenty years. Maybe our goal can really be achieved."

We must be prepared, for twenty years from now, the Prodigy Battlefield will surely undergo changes!

Twenty years later, according to Zhang Yang's plan, they will head to the Prodigy Battlefield.

That was the time when Azure Cloud Sect felt most Kong Xu.

Would the other sects in the world let the Azure Cloud Sect off so easily?

At that time, the world will surely undergo a great upheaval!

"Is there any chance we can get our Demonic Weapon back?" Gu Yan asked.

The Demonic Weapon were part of their power; when they were suppressed, the Demonic Weapon were not suppressed together with them.

If they can retrieve the Demonic Weapon, their strength will surely increase once again.

No matter what major changes occur, with the Demonic Weapon in hand, they have enough confidence.

Gudoer shook his head. "Let's not talk about the Demonic Weapon now, let's talk about it later! We and they have always been adversaries."

Everyone must not forget this point.

Even that kid is in the same situation right now, so we still need to be careful.

We must complete the Demon Venerable's mission.

So for the next twenty years, all we need to do is follow their plan.

We'll talk about everything twenty years from now.

The Demon Lord nodded and continued their secluded cultivation.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had just returned to the villa from the West Mountain Forbidden Zone when Jiang Zhiqiu eagerly approached him, saying impatiently, "Eldest Senior Brother..."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and asked, "I know what you want to ask. Tell me first, how much money is there in Azure Cloud Town?"

"There is a surplus of over five Myriad Spirits," Jiang Zhiqiu replied.

Over the years, the reputation of the Azure Cloud Sect has grown, and naturally, the population of Azure Cloud Town has increased, leading to a rise in tax revenue.

Of course, it would be impossible to have so much money from taxes alone.

In recent years, as Azure Cloud Town has expanded, all sorts of "God Immortal" have flocked Azure Cloud Town to seek opportunities, selling off some land and houses, thus ensuring ample financial resources.

"Make good use of these five million!" Zhang Yang gestured for Jiang Zhiqiu to sit down and said, "The current development of Azure Cloud Town is actually due to the benefits of the Azure Cloud Sect."

This can't go on.

Azure Cloud Town must build its own core competitiveness.

Jiang Zhiqiu was completely confused. He could understand each word individually, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

What kind of dividends? What kind of competitive advantage?

Zhang Yang looked at Jiang Zhiqiu, who looked confused, and explained, "We want to create a unique character for Azure Cloud Town, a character that is completely different from other cities."

I have a few options here; you can take a look.

The first is the household registration system, which distinguishes between the permanent residents and the migrant population of Azure Cloud Town, making subsequent management easier.

Anyone entering Azure Cloud Town needs to register.

For those who are not permanent residents, issue them temporary residence permits, and let them leave when their temporary residence period expires. In this way, those who stay in Azure Cloud Town will have a sense of belonging, while those who do not stay in Azure Cloud Town try their best to stay.

Of course, Azure Cloud Town also offers some benefits specifically for its permanent residents.

For example, to ensure everyone's safety, violence is prohibited within Azure Cloud Town!

For example, residents of Azure Cloud Town have priority in participating in the Azure Cloud Sect's assessment.

For example, residents of Azure Cloud Town might receive missions from the Azure Cloud Sect, etc.

Jiang Zhiqiu stared blankly at Zhang Yang. Most of the people who came to Azure Cloud Town were cultivators.

Management monk?

Where in Azure Cloud Town could such a powerful force be found?

"Eldest Senior Brother, I'm only at the Nascent Soul Realm!" Jiang Zhiqiu said with a wry smile. "In Azure Cloud Town now, there are many Golden Core and Nascent Soul coming and going, and quite a few at the Primordial Spirit Realm as well. I can't control them all!"

Or perhaps, several senior uncles went to Azure Cloud Town to oversee things?

Zhang Yang shook his head. "My martial uncles have their own goals to achieve, so unless absolutely necessary, don't disturb them."

I'll transfer people from Zhang Changshan and Wang Baole's teams to support you.

Jiang Zhiqiu was completely numb.

Most of these disciples are only at the Foundation Establishment Realm; what use are they?

Unless, all the Golden Core disciples are transferred here.

However, even three hundred Golden Core disciples cannot defeat Primordial Spirit Realm!

"Don't worry, now that I've brought them here, they can handle the situation!" Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Also, starting today, Azure Cloud Town must maintain its cleanliness."

The streets must be cleaned regularly, and you should pay for the renovation of any buildings or signs that affect the city's appearance.

Remind them that if anything gets damaged in the future, they will be solely responsible for it.

Jiang Zhiqiu said urgently, "Eldest Senior Brother, we don't have enough manpower!"

Azure Cloud Town is so big, how can we possibly sweep it all up?

How much manpower and resources would that take!

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "There are many disciples who are Body Refinement in the three camps. Let's transfer them there so they can get some exercise and help them with their Body Refinement."

The sect was going to provide them with resources anyway. After transferring them there, the sect will subsidize you with part of the money, and you'll contribute the rest. Giving them five to ten Spirit Stone a month will definitely get them working."

"I have no money!" Jiang Zhiqiu's face showed even more bitterness.

The money from Azure Cloud Town shouldn't be spent here.

Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "I just told you about the household registration system, it's all so you can make money off it."

Since Azure Cloud Town has created a better living environment, cultivators who enter Azure Cloud Town should rightfully pay money!

This is the city gate tax!

From now on, everyone entering Azure Cloud Town must pay a city gate tax of five Spirit Stones!

Ordinary people don't need to pay Spirit Stone, but they'll still have to give five copper coins or something; you can decide the exact amount."

Jiang Zhiqiu was dumbfounded.

Isn't this blatant robbery? And they're robbing those cultivators, no less!

Jiang Zhiqiu, who came from Rogue Cultivator, looked at his Eldest Senior Brother with mixed feelings.

It's only natural to pay taxes when buying and selling things.

Now, taxes are being levied even on the ground in Azure Cloud Town...
