"Go ahead, don't get too drunk and get your body picked up."

Ling Zhouyue said without turning her head:

"Who else in this world would dare to take me as my teacher except you?"

Xiao Ran thought to himself, seeing you chop off five heads with one sword today, I won't dare to do it again in the future.

…

Xiao Ran learned about the food storage in the city in advance.

In order to prevent being besieged during war, the imperial city usually kept several months' worth of food in reserve, which was called imperial food.

Coupled with the gray mist entering the underworld, people's requirements for food and water are greatly reduced, and maintaining it for more than half a year is not a problem.

After all, people may not live that long.

So Xiao Ran's first step was to put out food.

Notices for the grain release have been posted, and 90% of the imperial grain will be sold to major grain merchants at the original price.

Food and water are no problem, but the next step is to stabilize the currency.

Therefore, Xiao Ran's recruitment conditions were very attractive, and the salary was three times the original to make up for the loss of property in the city.

Three times, no more, no less.

If it’s less, it’s unattractive, and if it’s too much, it’s fake.

In the eyes of three million city residents, Xiao Ran was Zong Zhishan's direct disciple, and Ling Zhouyue was the clone of the sword-wielding elder... Many people thought so.

Sending people of this status into the city means that Zong Zhishan may really want to save the world, rather than saving one or two people.

Secondly, Xiao Ran's move was to recruit troops to enforce martial law and restore order throughout the city.

This is very attractive to people who want to spend their last stable days in the last days, as well as to former guardsmen who leave the army before going home to take care of their families.

Moreover, the heads of the six cultivators were still hanging at the head of the Gonggong River Bridge, which meant that Xiao Ran and Ling Zhouyue were powerful enough to frighten the cultivators in the city.

really.

On that day, the cultivators were much calmer.

Most people chose to wait and see, and even a few free hunters actually took refuge in Xiao Ran.

But there is no news yet about the Underworld Hunters, and I don’t know if all of them are dead.

The pace of recruitment is exaggerated.

Thirty thousand people were recruited in five hours. After that, people started to sign up one after another, so Xiao Ran made an exception and recruited 50,000 people.

You know, the Royal Forest Army originally had less than 20,000 people.

Among these 50,000 people, there will definitely be some bastards, even those who commit crimes.

But it's not important. If you put these bastards in the army, they will at least be more honest.

The remaining matters will be settled later in the year after breaking through the underworld.

This is how the new Royal Guards were recruited.

Veterans lead new recruits.

The uniform was not enough, so I tied a white cloth strip with a jade seal on my right arm.

Weapons were not enough, so we purchased a wave of them from the private sector, and mixed them with swords, guns, swords and halberds.

A 50,000-strong imperial army was formed.

After five hours of training, martial law began throughout the city!

The Royal Guards took to the streets in droves, giving priority to stabilizing food, water and currency in order to restore commerce.

Xiao Ran even ordered that cultivators who encounter trouble can be forcibly arrested as long as there are more than ten members of the nearby Royal Forest Army and three veterans are on duty.

After all, cultivators will not use spiritual power easily. If they really have to deal with three body-forging-level veterans and seven men with weapons, even if they escape, they will still lose their skin.

This forces the cultivators to be more honest...

After fifteen hours, Xiao Ran was extremely exhausted. Also affected by the mist, he was so tired that he returned to the general's tent prepared by the emperor to rest.

Said to be a general's tent, it was actually transformed from the palace of a certain escaped imperial concubine.

Xiao Ran was lying on the bed in the boudoir, trying to locate the master.

It was found that she was still in gambling houses, brothels and wine shops, observing the public sentiment, which was very hard.

I felt relieved.

Xiao Ran was afraid that if she really tried to investigate something, she would be in danger at any time.

After confirming that his master was safe, Xiao Ran fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, a palace maid with a fair face and a good figure pushed the door open with foot washing water and came to Xiao Ran's bedside.

Xiao Ran didn't open his eyes, and asked drowsily and coldly:

"who."

The palace maid said:

"General, you are tired. Your Majesty asked your servant to serve you."

Xiao Ran stood up!
Chapter completed!
