Chapter 70: Sweeping Qjngdu Port, Becoming City Lord From Today onward

Translator: 549690339

This year, Li Yueming was nine years old.

The emperor of the Great Xia Empire had died suddenly, and the production of food had been reduced frequently.

This ancient empire that had ruled China for hundreds of years was on the verge of collapse under the repeated attacks.

The court was troubled by both internal and external troubles.

Countless demons and monsters took root and sprouted in this thick land.

He looked around.

All of them were signs of a chaotic world.

In the first half of winter.

Li Yueming spent some effort to wipe out the eight dojos of Qingdu Port.

In the autumn of the second half of the year.

Li Yueming spent some effort to wipe out the arrogant foreigners in Qingdu Port.

The Free State’s Gokudo Combat Gym was forced to close down.

A large group of Grandmasters of Combat departed dejectedly.

On the other side.

The black-robed bishop did not go back on his word.

The Sacred Fire Missionary packed his things and left Qingdu Port overnight.

At this point.

The messy forces in Qingdu Port were basically eliminated by Li Yueming with absolute force.

After doing all this.

Li Yueming didn’t disappear like he did in previous years.

Instead, he began to order his disciples to take over the various powers of the entire Qingdu Port.

At the same time, many martial artists in Qingdu Port witnessed Li Yueming’s tyrannical combat strength.

Almost all of them expressed their submission to him.

He also expressed that he wanted to learn a higher level of martial arts from Li Yueming.

Regarding this.

Li Yueming didn’t refuse. Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Because what he had to do next was definitely not something that he could do alone.

He had to have enough people under him.

However, Li Yueming didn’t accept this group of martial artists easily. Instead, he set an assessment target for them.

The deadline was half a year.

Only by passing the test could one learn his martial arts.

The group of martial artists discussed for a moment and expressed that there was no problem.

Nonsense.

Everyone had witnessed Li Yueming’s combat strength.

To be under such a boss.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just fill up the number of blocks, alright?

Hence, he decided to do it.

Under the circumstances where he had absolute power.

The City Lord did not even dare to show any dissatisfaction and obediently handed over all the power in his hands. Li Yueming smoothly took over the entire city.

The next step.

He began to dispatch officials from the government to settle the refugees at the city gate.

Because of the war and famine.

Around 70,000 to 80,000 refugees had gathered outside the city.

When the foreigners ruled.

Other than attacking the city by force, these refugees would not have any chance to enter the city even if they starved to death.

Now that Li Yueming was in charge of Qingdu Port, he naturally wouldn’t sit by and watch this happen.

In times of chaos, population was a heavy burden.

But for Li Yueming.

As long as he could find a way to solve the most basic problem of food and accommodation.

The population was absolute power.

He followed the officials to the gate of the Green Capital Harbor.

On the city wall.

One of the martial artists who took the initiative to join Li Yueming shouted,””Everyone, listen up. The new city lord of the port, Li Yueming, is a kind-hearted man. From today onwards, you can queue up to register to enter the city!”

Hearing this.

Of course, it was also the same as the head that was hung on the city wall.

Fu Xiaorou and the others were really giving out porridge.

The restless refugees calmed down a little.

There was food.

They could even queue up to enter the city.

For the refugees who had been displaced along the way, this was something that they did not even dare to dream about.

Li Yueming didn’t want to compromise on these two things.

Seeing that there was hope for survival, the refugees naturally did not riot.

With sticks and sweet dates, they took turns to serve him.

The refugees were completely controlled by Li Yueming.

Although there was still some chaos outside the city.

However, there were no large-scale riots.

In just one day.

There were more than 3,000 refugees in Qingdu Port.

After verification, most of these refugees were farmers who had lost their land.

During the harvest year.

They depended on the local major families to farm and barely make a living.

In the event of a disaster.

They were the first to be abandoned by the local wealthy families.

After this group of people entered the city.

Of course, Li Yueming wouldn’t let them wander around the streets and disturb the peace.

They found a boat and asked a few fishermen who were familiar with the sea to take them fishing.

Unlike the famine on land, the resources in the sea were very rich.

As long as the arrangements were made properly.

Qingdu Port could easily absorb a lot of refugees.

At the same time.

The news of Qingdu Port accepting refugees into the Guashan Kingdom spread more and more.

Li Yueming’s name gradually became known by the people around him.

The commoners in the surrounding hundreds of miles heard that there was a heavenly lord in Qingdu Port.

Therefore, he had no choice.

Many of the farmers who couldn’t find a way to survive in their hometowns all took their families and embarked on the road to Qingdu Port.

In just two short months.

Almost 200,000 refugees flooded into Qingdu Port.

This was a very large number.

As a result, many of the officials in Qingdu Port were so busy that their feet did not even touch the ground.

If Li Yueming hadn’t given him a generous reward, he would have died.

At this moment, many officials had probably already begun to dawdle.

In addition, the number of refugees increased.

The security problem in Qingdu Port was more obvious.

There were often refugees who stole the property and food of the local residents.

Those who were more ruthless.

There were even people who killed for money.

Regarding this.

Li Yueming immediately took out his thunderous methods.

A curfew was imposed at night, and martial artists led soldiers to patrol.

Kill all the sneaky guys they caught.

Under this kind of high-pressure punishment.

The security problem in Qingdu Port was finally alleviated.

Of course.

The curfew was only a temporary measure.

If he wanted to solve the problem fundamentally, he had to start from filling his stomach and distributing work.

Li Yueming was troubled by this for a while.

Large-scale reclamation of wasteland to grow food was naturally the best solution.

However, it was too inefficient for the poor refugees.

Moreover, the land was a famine year, so it was not suitable for growing food.

Therefore, after considering everything.

For the current Qingdu Port, developing the ocean should be the best choice.
