(Everyone, did you read the author’s words at the end of the previous chapter?)
The twenty-fifth year of Tai'an, the second day of June.
In the large square cleared out in Liaoping Fucheng, more than 300 people gathered at the moment.
Except for Chen Yuhe and his bodyguards, all of these people had outstanding achievements in the siege.
Today is the time for Zhao Yanxun to reward them.
After capturing Liaoping Fucheng, Zhao Yanxun's actual population increased by more than 10,000, which gave him more than 100 upgrade quotas.
Not only that, after the population exceeded 100,000, Zhao Yanxun also unlocked the permission of the second-level soldier, with a total of 500 second-level soldier places.
The second-level soldiers have to upgrade from the first-level soldiers, so Chen Yuhe and other guards are also there. After they upgrade, the original first-level spots will be vacant.
In other words, there will be 100 new second-level soldiers here today, and more than 250 first-level soldiers.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun, accompanied by two people from thousands of households and two from hundreds of households, slowly walked towards the square.
"After today, each of you will have two Baihusuo with the power of divine martial arts, and your combat power will be greatly increased..."
Zhao Yanxun was not exaggerating when he said this. After all, the Guards Department now only has four hundred-household offices.
Of course, the four hundred-household offices of the Guards Department will all be upgraded to Level 2 in the future, and their combat effectiveness will be raised to a higher level.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!" Wang Cheng replied quickly.
"I won't say much else. I will leave Liaoping and Tianjin Mansion to you. Before August... you must capture these two mansions!"
"Not only do you take down the city, you are also responsible for rescuing the people. Can you do it?"
To be honest, two months is a bit short, and Fang Sheng and the other two are not sure. After all, this is their first time doing this.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Fang Sheng said firmly.
Needless to say what happened next, Zhao Yanxun upgraded those who met the requirements and the scene was filled with thanksgiving.
"Upgrade completed
Host: Zhao Yanxun
Available skill points: 100648”
The entire upgrade process consumed Zhao Yanxun's nearly 4,000 skill points, but now there are still too many to use up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."
At this moment, the people below are still giving thanks. In the last days, if there is higher force, there will be a greater chance of survival.
Of course, they can be upgraded only if they work hard enough on their own.
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun was about to speak, Fang Sheng immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Quiet..."
Everyone stopped one after another, all eyes focused on Zhao Yanxun.
"You...can't live up to the divine power within you. You must obey the command, strictly observe military discipline, and do your best to rescue Bai!"
"I obey the prince's instructions!" Wang Cheng took the lead and shouted.
"I will obey the prince's instructions!" everyone responded one after another.
Immediately, Zhao Yanxun left the stage, and behind him, the cry of "Long live King Yong" rang out.
The sound was like thunder, so much so that it spread throughout the city, shocking the people in the city.
On the way to leave, Zhao Yanxun once again assigned tasks to Fang Sheng and the others.
There are too many people in Fucheng, Liaoping Prefecture, with more than 10,000 people. There is not much land around for them to cultivate. Moreover, if there are too many people, trouble will easily occur, so these people must be separated.
In Zhao Yanxun's opinion, only 5,000 people can be retained in Fucheng, and all others must be transferred to the following counties.
This is also a complicated project and will delay Fang Sheng and the others for at least ten days.
After arranging the affairs in Liaoping, Zhao Yanxun did not stay too long and took Chen Yuhe and his party south the next day.
After Zhu Jinzhang was defeated, there was no strong enemy in the north of Longyou, so Zhao Yanxun naturally did not need to stay.
He has been away from Yuanyang for nearly a month, and he still doesn't know how many things have piled up for him to deal with.
Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Yan rushed south slowly and was waiting for him to upgrade himself.
After unlocking a population of 100,000, he can perform the sixth round of upgrades on himself.
As the system prompt sounded, the four thousand skill points disappeared directly, and Zhao Yanxun completed the fifth round of upgrades.
Sitting in the carriage, feeling the long-lost feeling of becoming stronger, Zhao Yanxun was greatly satisfied.
Defeating Zhu Jinzhang this time can be said to be a full harvest.
In addition to population and land, there is also the army and its own strength.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun said casually: "Chen Yuhe..."
Outside the carriage, Chen Yuhe, who was accompanying him, immediately replied: "I'm here!"
"How does it feel to be injected with the second divine power?"
Just listen to Chen Yuhe reply: "Reporting to the prince, I feel more energetic, and my physical strength is also much stronger. The most important thing is... my brain is also much brighter!"
His summary was very accurate. After being promoted to a second-level soldier, his strength increased from one hundred kilograms to one hundred and fifty kilograms, and the maximum force output time also increased from ten minutes to twenty minutes.
In addition, people's brains will become clearer, their learning abilities will become stronger, and they will become more proficient in using spears, swords, shields, and crossbows.
Just listen to Zhao Yanxun continue to say: "After returning this time, you and Xu Yu go south to replace Wang Zong and the others!"
"yes!"
"By the way, bring that Zhang Ziming here!"
"yes!"
When he returned to Yuanyang this time, Zhao Yanxun took Zhang Ziming with him.
These days, he had talked a lot with Zhang Ziming and confirmed that this person indeed had his abilities. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was both civil and military.
There are heroes in the wilderness, this is no joke.
In fact, those who can lead the people to survive after the zombie outbreak are people with extremely outstanding abilities.
After a while, Zhang Ziming was brought to the carriage.
The speed of the journey is not very fast, so Zhang Ziming can keep up on foot.
Pulling up the curtains of the carriage, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Tell me... what should I do with you?"
In fact, Zhao Yanxun had not thought about this issue well.
Zhang Ziming said calmly: "The prince wants to kill or behead him, I can only do as I please!"
"If you say this, I don't want to kill you anymore!"
Zhang Ziming continued: "If the prince is kind and willing to be reborn, I would also like to become a subject under the prince's rule!"
Zhao Yanxun then asked: "Isn't it too humiliating for you to be an ordinary citizen?"
"Could it be that the prince wants to use it?" Zhang Ziming turned his head, his tone was quite surprised.
After all, he was once Zhu Jinzhang's subordinate, and he brought a lot of trouble to Yong's army during that period. It would be enough for him to be satisfied without killing him.
Having reached this point, Zhao Yanxun simply said bluntly: "To be honest, you have some ability, and I am willing to give you a chance!"
Zhang Ziming did not answer, so Zhao Yanxun continued: "Even if you are not loyal to me, at least you are a good official who loves and protects the people!"
This statement is too straightforward. Even Zhang Ziming can tolerate being disloyal, but he cares about the safety of the people.
From this sentence, Zhang Ziming felt that Zhao Yanxun had a broad mind and understood that he also had a heart to love the people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Yanxun has the heart and spirit of a king.
Such a person is indeed more worthy of serving than Zhu Jinzhang... Zhang Ziming thought to himself.
