After breaking through, I felt relaxed and it was so delicious that Xiao Tianci felt that the whole world was different now.

As soon as he rode a horse to the city lord's mansion, Jia Xu and others came out to welcome him. Zhang Liao, as a master, was the first to sense Xiao Tianci's changes.

"Congratulations to the lord for achieving the innate realm," Zhang Liao took two steps forward and bowed with a smile.

Jia Xu also looked happy and said twice, "Haha, Xu also congratulated the lord on his successful breakthrough and from then on he was out of the world. Today is a double happiness for a day, and we should celebrate it well."

Zhang Jingting also arrived at the city lord's mansion at this time. When he heard that Xiao Tianci had broken through the innate, he was shocked. How old is this person? He has not yet reached twenty? He has broken through the innate?

You should know that the most outstanding genius on the mainland today, Li Aotian, the crown prince of the Tang Empire, broke through the innate at the age of 18? Not to mention the other unparalleled war goddess Li Youran, Princess Ruyue Long Ziyue, and the contemporary saint of Haoran Sect, Ling Xiaoyao, etc., they all achieved innate at the age of 20, right?

"Haha, thank you all." Xiao Tianci waved his hand with a smile, "But please keep it a secret for my breakthrough today. It is better not to expose some trump cards."

"It should be." Jia Xu nodded in agreement and continued, "Master, we have successfully mastered Starry Night City this time. We just counted it and have gained a lot."

"Oh, let's talk about it when we enter the mansion." Xiao Tianci became interested and led everyone into the mansion.

After several people sat down in the lobby one by one, Xiao Tianci asked directly, "Wenhe, has Xiao Changlong handled it?"

"I have made the arrangements back to the lord. I'll put it in house arrest in the backyard." Jia Xu replied, touching his beard, "In addition, he has also asked about the contact method of the Duke's Mansion."

"Oh, what's the method? He can actually travel thousands of miles a day?" Xiao Tianci asked hurriedly. He was very interested in this thing. You must know that smooth information is one of the most critical factors in the success or failure of a battle. If he can master this method, he will be able to take the initiative in all aspects in the future.

"Go back to the lord, it turns out that there is a strange man under the Duke's Mansion who can train a thousand-mile dove. This dove is small in size but has a strange speed. It can travel thousands of miles a day. The Duke's Mansion can achieve thousand-mile contact by training this bird." Jia Xu replied.

"Well, so that's it. Isn't it just a pigeon from another world?" After hearing this, Xiao Tianci knew it in his heart and nodded, "Okay, Wenhe, then Xiao Changlong will be in charge and will be well taken care of."

"Yes." Jia Xu took his life and continued, "By the way, lord, Xu just asked someone to confiscate the homes of Xiao Changlong and Wei Biao, and found a lot of money and food. He got a lot of money."

"Ha, tell me how many gold coins and how much food is there?"

"Sir, let me say it." Zhang Jingting stood up and licked his mouth and said, "This time, a total of 250,000 gold coins, more than 1.8 million silver coins, countless copper coins, and three boxes of various jewelry and antiques, precious medicinal materials, dozens of baskets of fur, and more than 80,000 ducts of grain were seized from Xiao Changlong's family."

After reading this, Zhang Jingting swallowed hard and continued to recite, "Another 100,000 gold coins, hundreds of thousands of silver coins, three magic weapons and treasures, more than a hundred pairs of armor, and 30,000 dan of grain were found from Wei Biao's house."

"Tsk tsk, damn, you're greedy enough." Xiao Tianci was also shocked. He didn't expect that these two guys had greedy for such a large amount of wealth over the past ten years. Not to mention those gold and silver coins, the nearly 120,000 tents of grain they greedy for is not a small amount. You should know that in the Xuanhuang Continent, a tent of grain is enough for a family of three to eat for a month.

Zhang Jingting bowed to Xiao Tianci with a heavy expression, "Sir, I have a reluctant request from the Lord, I hope you will agree."

"You're welcome to be polite, just say anything if you have something to do." Xiao Tianci's face returned to calm, and he waved his hand and smiled.

"Sir, the people of Xingye City are suffering. Since they do not produce grain, the rice and grain on weekdays are transported by grain merchants from Linfu. Therefore, these grain merchants monopolized the grain prices of the entire Xingye City, causing the grain prices in the city to remain high. Compared with Lincheng, a load of grain is more expensive than a load of grain." Zhang Jingting said this, his tone was extremely heavy, "so the official requested that the masters be able to take out some of the more than 100,000 loads of grain to sell it to the people of Xingye City at a low price."

"Oh, Jingting is intent." After hearing his words, Xiao Tianci admired him. He was indeed a person who loved his hometown. Thinking that he did not answer Zhang Jingting's words immediately, he looked up at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, when I left the capital, how did I explain to you?"

"Returning to the lord, Xu bought 100,000 dan of grain in batches in Wangdu, and spent all the 30,000 kingdom gold coins. When he left the capital, all major grain stores were already preparing and probably would be able to reach Xingye City in the near future." Jia Xu replied.

"Okay, since that's the case, then allocate 30,000 dan of grain first, and you will be responsible for selling it at a low price to lower the price of grain." After hearing Jia Xu's words, Xiao Tianci said calmly, "In addition, Wenyuan, you can send troops to help. If there are grain merchants who make trouble, they will kill them on the spot."

"No!" Zhang Liao stood up and accepted the order.

Zhang Jingting looked grateful and bowed deeply to Xiao Tianci, "Sir, Jingting, on behalf of the people of Xingye City, thank you, sir."

"Jingting doesn't have to be like this. Now I am the lord of Xingye City, and the people are also my people. What I promised before will definitely do." Xiao Tianci waved his hand and signaled Zhang Jingting to get up, and then continued, "Everyone, Xingye City is full of waste, and I also want to ask you to do your best to assist me. Tianci asks you here."

"Dare not to work hard."

....

Subsequently, Xiao Tianci issued an order, allowing Zhang Jingting to continue to be a literary and historical person and assist in his own government affairs. Jia Xu served as a military advisor, coordinated the overall situation, and formed an intelligence system to recruit personnel to train special troops Shadow Guards. As for Zhang Liao, he served as a guard and a security officer in Xingye City. Due to insufficient manpower, Xiao Tianci could only make such arrangements for the time being.

After arranging everything, after eating with several people, Zhang Liao and Zhang Jingting began to get busy. Xiao Tianci, who was idle, thought of the black stone mentioned by the woman in the morning, became interested and greeted Jia Xu. The two of them rode out of the city on horseback and asked the way to Heishan in the west of the city.

It was said that it was a mountain, but it was just a small slope. It looked really black and bare. Xiao Tianci got off the horse excitedly, walked to the foot of the slope, and digged some soil with his gun, and layers of black things appeared in front of him.

"Haha, it's actually an open-pit coal mine, and it's developed." Xiao Tianci picked off a piece with his hand, held it in his hand and gently squeezed it. Countless black slags slid from his finger's heart.

"Why is the lord so happy?" Jia Xu looked at Xiao Tianci's extremely excited look and said in confusion, "What's the use of this thing? Let the lord love you so much.

"Hehe, this is a priceless treasure." Xiao Tianci smiled mysteriously, picked up the cinder in his hand and handed it to Jia Xu, "Wenhe, don't think this thing is inconspicuous, but it is of great use. This thing is called coal and can be burned. It can not only be used to make fires and cook, but also to refine steel."

"Oh, it actually has such a great effect." Jia Xu picked up a grain of cinder and looked carefully, then sighed, "The lord is really well-known. Even this inconspicuous black stone knows its use, and Xu admires it."

"Haha, I don't dare to take it." Xiao Tianci shook his head and smiled, "I don't know what people in this world use to refine steel. Looking at the iron armored cavalry under Princess Ruyue's command, the quality of the steel refined should be quite high. I don't know if it was also refinement with coal."

"I'll know in the future." Jia Xu clapped his hands, patted the scum on his hands, and said, "But since the lord has discovered coal, we can build our own weapons in the future."

"Yes." Xiao Tianci stood up, walked forward a few steps, raised his eyes to look at the forest, where there was the Great Wilderness Forest, and then there was the richest prefecture of Tianqingzhou, Changqing Prefecture.

"As long as we eliminate the lone wolf thieves in this great wilderness forest and open up the passage from Xingye City to Changqing Mansion, we can transport iron ore directly from there. In addition to the coal mine, we can also produce and supply our own weapons and equipment in the future."

"Indeed." Jia Xu nodded, "At present, the lord has completely controlled Xingye City. The next step is to put the target on this lone wolf thief. After all, this is our biggest threat now."

"It's a pity that Xingye City is now in ruins, and development is the hard truth. The lone wolf thief needs to be eliminated, but it's better to wait for a while." Xiao Tianci shook his head and said with regret.

"Haha, do you have any ideas for development?" Jia Xu touched his beard and chuckled, "Although Xingye City is a small city, it covers an area of ​​thousands of miles and has a population of one million."

"I'll think about this again," Xiao Tianci rubbed his forehead. He did have some plans in his mind, and he would wait until he could sort it out in pieces tonight.
