Chapter 2177: Chapter 2177: Imperial Interior Planning and Organization
Indeed, starting now, the internal affairs of the empire need to be the first to be organized.
First is the establishment of various systems, and then a series of methods to improve the cohesion of the people’s hearts and make the lives of the populace better.
These are not useless. In fact, as the internal workings of one’s territory operate more smoothly, its effect on oneself becomes greater, as the speed of earning points will accelerate considerably.
These points are not just for creating Violent Soldiers but can also be used for various special constructions. Even some deductions and evolutions within the Du You professional system of the territory can utilize them.
A ninth-tier world is far stronger than a union of other worlds.
Du You has not fully occupied this world; he has only established territories in a portion of the area, which has already caused unique professions from this world to appear in Du You’s guild list. It seems that the world’s will is not that rigid.
In the eyes of the world’s will, a ninth-tier world is entirely different from worlds below the ninth-tier.
Of course, Du You has naturally hidden it and has not disclosed it. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if those who joined his guild but are not yet controlled saw it, and Xiaobai might also see it.
Since reaching the eighth tier on the surface, he has already split from his original guild and is now the master of a guild himself. Now, in many cities, he is a widely celebrated person.
If they discovered a ninth-tier world, it would be an entirely different matter.
One must know, there are not many ninth-tier powerhouses in the entire world, and each one is hidden. The few known to outsiders are rarely seen by people in ordinary times.
If they discovered his strength reached the ninth-tier, the ensuing days would surely be lively and annoying. Countless people would want to join him, yes, to submit rather than to entice. After all, at this level, they do not qualify to allure him, but the impact would be significant.
Due to Du You’s special personality, the first thing he thought of was to hide himself.
With the determination of the system, various aspects within the territory began to rapidly improve. Civilians had a channel for advancement, and the upper class was no longer so stable, so many things got done much faster.
Things that other cities could not solve in decades or even hundreds of years were resolved in just a few days under Du You. If it couldn’t be resolved below, it would be reported layer by layer until it was resolved.
At the same time, the habitats of various powerful Magical Beasts around were also found. It can be said that all Magical Beasts above the seventh tier were completely wiped out, except for those particularly well-hidden; none were left behind. Moreover, there are stationed troops everywhere to ensure that these Magical Beasts do not cause major disturbances.
The reason for not completely eliminating them is twofold.
On one hand, it’s to leave them for internal training, which can increase their income and also train a batch of strong individuals.
On the other hand, these Magical Beasts can reproduce continuously, and when they grow up, killing them yields Magic Cores. In this world, Magic Cores are an important resource and a hard currency.
Of course, these are the Magical Beasts of the surface world; the underground world is almost entirely a world of Magical Beasts. Leaving the city, one cannot so easily control it and can only patrol everywhere with a large number of Undead, continually constructing cities. Before the number of cities reaches a certain density, the underground world cannot easily be resolved.
Precisely because of this, mass-produced Undead Creatures have become mainstream in the underground world.
In the underground world, City of the Dead can be seen everywhere, even if only to occupy a position.
Next, cities and fortresses were established one by one on those passages connecting the surface and underground worlds. These fortresses all have strong defensive capabilities, both internally and externally.
This is a ring-shaped fortress, with defense as the focus both inside and outside; soldiers and civilians all live between the two layers of walls.
Once these fortresses were established, the passages were opened. As long as you pay, you can enter the underground or come out from below. For adventurers, this is majorly good news.
After internal stability was completely achieved, Du You began establishing a large number of towns and villages within the empire.
In the past, towns and villages could hardly exist.
There were only camps, after all, without enough strength to protect, normal people could not survive. Many people usually lived either in trees or underground. Or they lived anxiously near big cities.
As soon as the city came under attack, they were often the first to suffer.
Everyone yearned to enter the city, mainly for safety. But now it’s different, once Du You cleaned up the inside, those towns and villages could exist and be very safe.
Also, with these towns and villages, transportation became more convenient and more roads were opened. Relying only on domestic demand, the empire became increasingly prosperous. To outsiders, it seems that people in the Life Empire live like they are in paradise, full of envy.
Similarly, because people could live safely not only in the city, the capacity of the entire Life Empire for population grew explosively. It wasn’t just a few hundred times improvement, but even thousands or ten thousand times were achievable.
No matter how many people around wanted to join the empire, Du You welcomed them.
Simultaneously, as the interior stabilized, more and more points were in his hand.
Once internal stability was established, only individuals at most the sixth-tier were needed for guarding. The seventh and eighth-tier strong individuals in the internal cities no longer needed to remain and were sent to the borders or some important cities by Du You. This was the most efficient use of human resources.
Now, the role a seventh-tier strong individual could play was much stronger than the roles of five or six seventh-tier individuals before.
As long as the borders remain intact, no place will have issues.
And internally, the more stable it is, the fewer troops needed; gradually, the army also entered the borders or important cities. Internally sorted out, the next round of expansion began.
"Have the monitoring system and city protection system been manufactured?" Du You asked his doppelganger team one day.
"Almost there, although not fully perfected, they are useable. Let’s start construction."
