Chapter 644 Mo Xian'er's distress
There is still one month left, which is the day of the agreed competition between the four major sects.
Next month is the elimination month for the training team. Feng Ruohan and others should do their best to eliminate three-quarters of the team, leaving only one-quarter to participate in the competition among the four major sects.
Before the knockout round, the training team had three days off to prepare and relax for each team member.
Taking advantage of these three days of vacation, Jin Ling returned to the Firewood Team in Waigen District to take a look at everyone. Then he went down the mountain and quickly headed to Jinsong City.
I haven't been to Jinsong City in person for half a year. I used to report the situation through the messenger of the letter hall to pass on the mountain to report the situation. The first four or five months were still good. Mo Xian'er developed Jinsong City safely and steadily according to the plan she had formulated. However, in the recent letter, Mo Feng had come to Jinsong City for a while and met her, which caused her a lot of psychological pressure.
Mo Feng is now from Shanhai Sect, so he wants to find Mo Xian'er, so the eight inner disciples sent by the sect naturally dare not stop him. What they can do is to protect Mo Xian'er from harm.
Mo Xian'er's letter was vague, but Jin Ling knew how much pressure she would be at the time when facing a cousin who had imprisoned her for three years and usurped her city lord's house. This matter also made Jin Ling very worried.
Jinsong City is more than 1,700 miles away from Shanhai Sect. For a high-level immortal lord like Jin Ling, it doesn’t take much magic power to rush over, and it’s just a day and night.
Under the sunset, I entered the Black Pine Forest area from the East Toll Station. After a few months, the East Toll Station was also renovated, from a simple wooden building to a cement brick and tile structure, the scale was much larger. The garrison guards of the city guards also changed from four people to eleven people and one class.
"Young Master, you are here!" The guard squad leader was surprised and happy to see that it was Jin Ling, so he quickly sent a pigeon report to Jinsongcheng.
"I'm here to see. You guys are busy with your own things, so there's no need to be polite." Jin Ling said, "It's been peaceful these few months. Has anyone forced to break in and not pay tolls?"
"At the beginning, there were some, but they tried to stay in Jinsong City without issuing a toll station certificate, and after the inconvenience of eating, fewer and fewer people evade fees, and now they can basically pay the fees consciously." said the guard squad leader.
"Where is any problem with security?" Jin Ling asked.
"At the beginning, everyone was quite afraid, for fear that a magic wild boar would suddenly rush out of the forest." said the guard squad leader, "But until now, for such a long time, let alone monsters, it is rare to see even a wild beast."
That's right, even if there are wild animals, they have been taught to eat up by demon wild boars or blood spirits.
"In addition to us patrolling nearby every day, the disciples of the Shanhai Sect in Jingui City and the musket team of the City Lord's Mansion will also come to patrol each other. The surrounding gangsters and bandits dare not look at us directly." The guard squad leader said proudly.
After leaving this toll east station, I walked along the main road to Jinsong City.
The road seemed to be repaired in the end, which was flatter and wider than the original one. Some nimble vendors, seeing the safety of the black pine forest, actually took the courage to set up tea stalls and snack stalls on the side of the road for customers to quench their thirst.
It is nearly forty miles from Toll East Station to Jinsong City. Vehicles and pedestrians are coming and going. Flat land has been opened on both sides of the road, and large tracts of crops or fruit trees have been planted.
Half an hour later, Jin Ling arrived at Jinsong City. At the east gate of the city, Mo Xian'er and Lang Si, Yang Lisheng and other backbones in the city were waiting to be welcomed.
"Young Master...Brother!" Mo Xian'er originally wanted to call him the young master, so she changed her words to be brother in time.
"Haha, we've met again in five months." Jin Ling smiled, "Is this city lord still used to it?"
"The pressure is so great." Mo Xian'er stuck out her tongue.
The little Tudo Douzi jumped out of her arms and came to Jin Ling's legs. She rubbed her legs and waved her tail, making out intimately.
"You all go with your own things." Jin Ling pointed at everyone and said, "There are many things in the city, so you can't leave people. Xian'er just accompany me around."
As soon as he said this, everyone dispersed and worked their own things, leaving Moxian with him. She took Jin Ling around and looked around.
Within four or five months, the area of Jinsong City's urban area doubled, forcing the city wall to move outward again.
The Jinyuan headquarters sent two batches of Jin-sen civilians, which brought the total number of Jin-sen civilians in the city to as many as 6,000. Apart from these populations, merchants from other parties and foreign people who made a living, the combined number reached the same number, with a total of 5,000 or 6,000 people.
A large amount of land is constantly rented out, and rented houses are constantly being built. The continuous rent and taxes have given the city lord's mansion more strength to promote more construction. Elementary schools, middle schools and higher-level academies have been built in the city. Children of appropriate age can enter the school for free as long as they are willing.
The farmland is constantly being reclaimed. The crops in the first farmland that were reclaimed before have grown half a person tall, and the vegetable fields are thriving. There are already so many pigs, horses, cattle and sheep in the pens of some herders.
The scale of logging yards, coal-iron yards and brick yards is larger, and now the daily output is more than four times that of the previous one.
The warehouses and merchants built by the Six Fairy City Commercial Alliances are very large in scale, occupying a full street and land on both sides. After several months of construction and development, it has become the most prosperous street in Jinsong City. In fact, even a casino has been built.
Casinos can be built, but brothels are definitely not allowed. This is Mo Xian'er's bottom line.
In addition, the city lord's mansion was the master and established a welfare home in a remote place in the city, allocated the required funds, and adopted some lonely and helpless people, poor and sick.
"It seems that you, the city lord, are quite qualified." Jin Ling teased her and said, "At least you can devote yourself to managing the city, unlike me who has to manage the city construction and practice on the other hand."
"Brother, you make fun of me again." Mo Xian'er blushed, thinking of something, and looked very squinting, "Brother, it's less than two days after you left last time, that second lady, oh, Qinghan sent me a letter from the headquarters. She said, "I know you recognized another sister. She hasn't eaten for three days since she learned about this."
"Ah? She didn't eat for three days?" Jin Ling was amused and crying, "Don't listen to this little girl's nonsense! This little ghost will not eat for three days if she sees a ghost. Even if she doesn't eat for three days, she will eat a lot of snacks behind her back. Mr. Sun complained to me in his letter that this girl was eating too hard for him to control her!"
"So, she's okay?" Mo Xian'er felt a little relieved.
"Don't worry, with this little girl's survival ability, she doesn't have any trouble if I have any trouble." Jin Ling was very confident about this, "She wrote to you because she deliberately made you feel sorry for her, so she would use this to bully you in the future."
