CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 507: PLANNING

Qin Yi nodded slightly, as Mu Lingchen mentioned, he had already thought about it. With billions of people in Longxia, relying on just a hundred people to guard is indeed a drop in the ocean.

"I’ve thought about what you’ve said long ago, but right now we don’t have enough personnel, so we can only proceed step by step."

Mu Lingchen asked, "What is your plan?"

Qin Yi pointed to several marked points on the map: "These places are the major transportation hubs of Longxia, interconnected and easily accessible. They are direct lines from each other, and aid would reach much faster than from other cities if one area is in trouble."

Mu Lingchen nodded slightly.

Qin Yi continued, "Ten small teams will first be stationed in the cities I’ve marked. I’ll ask the old man from Azure Dragon to see if we can apply to the state for warplanes. Their speed is fast and can save a lot of time during support."

"Indeed, if we rely only on our legs and existing transportation, it’s impossible to make it in time. With armed warplanes, we can significantly shorten the time."

Qin Yi pointed at the map, "First, take your people and station them in these cities. The location of Yinfeng City is conveniently central in Longxia. Once you are in danger, I can rush to support immediately."

"Moreover, our current manpower is certainly not enough. Therefore, once stationed in these cities, we must recruit more staff. Of course, not just anyone, they must pass a stringent selection process. This shouldn’t be taken lightly, for if the recruited are irresponsible, then the lives of thousands of citizens could be at stake."

Mu Lingchen and others nodded.

"Everyone needs expenses, so we have to pay wages. Of course, the wage for Martial Artists is not three or five thousand; it must be substantial. Don’t worry about this part; I’ll figure it out. You just focus on recruiting."

Mu Lingchen said, "Qin Yi, you said this wrong. We follow you not for money."

"Right, we’re not after money, if it was about money, wouldn’t it be better for me to stay home as a young master?" Cong Yang shouted.

Qin Yi waved his hand, "I know most of you come from Qi Refiner families and lack no money. But rules are rules, and you must take this money. Moreover, newly recruited personnel must be paid. Few would work without pay."

"You were the first to follow me and are the foundation for future stabilization. So you’re different from others, the money is secondary. The most important thing is that I must strive to help you improve your cultivation."

With that, Qin Yi looked at everyone, "Did you collect the herbs I asked for before?"

"Collected, Longxia is vast and plentiful, it’s not hard to collect herbs over thirty years."

"We have also collected them."

Everyone responded one by one.

Qin Yi nodded seriously, "Prepare your herbs. This time I’ll take you back to Yinfeng City first and train you in secret. I can guarantee that within half a month, each of you will break through one level."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Qin Yi incredulously.

"Qin Yi, is this possible? Breakthroughs require the right time, place, and people, closely related to personal diligence and talent, external forces can’t interfere." Xiahou Jun said.

Qin Yi smiled, "Have you forgotten what I like to do most? It’s to turn the impossible into possible, to create miracles. I said I can make all of you break through one level in a short time, and I will definitely make it happen."

The crowd was amazed, making every person break through a level sounded like a myth.

However, considering Qin Yi’s mysterious methods, the crowd became short of breath and excited. Perhaps Qin Yi could really do it.

"Don’t get too happy, when I train you, don’t complain."

Tan Yi grinned and said, "As long as it helps our cultivation, I would even call you dad."

Qin Yi: "..."

"I don’t want a son like you, too big to carry."

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Qin Yi gestured with his hand, and everyone fell silent: "Let’s continue the previous topic."

"Mu Lingchen, now I give you a task."

"Tell me, and I promise to complete it."

Qin Yi said, "You’re smart, you need to draft a reward and punishment system for me in a short time. A country has its laws, a family its rules, without rules, nothing can be accomplished. So, this system must exist."

Mu Lingchen nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll start preparing right away."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, then looked at Bai Siyin, "You also have a task."

Bai Siyin quickly said, "Tell me, and I promise to accomplish it."

"Xiaobai, you’re meticulous, I need you to select a group of Liangcai while recruiting personnel and create an intelligence team. Intelligence is very important, it’s our eyes, otherwise, each battle will be blind, and it’s easy to suffer losses."

Bai Siyin nodded heavily, understanding the importance of intelligence, "Rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task."

"Qin Yi, now there’s another important issue. Every city has a Guardian Family. If we recklessly enter, it might cause unnecessary trouble." Mu Lingchen said.

"I’ve already thought of this, it’s exactly what I’m about to discuss next." Qin Yi rubbed his temples, suddenly his eyes became sharp, "As Guardian Families of Longxia, their duty is to ensure peace, our goals align and do not conflict with their duties."

"If their initial intentions remain unchanged and they do not forget their duties, they will certainly welcome our stationing. If they obstruct, it must be that our stationing has touched some aspect of their interests, which means such a Guardian Family would have long forgotten their duties."

"Next, what I will say is the responsibility entrusted to each of you. Once stationed, you are to audit the Guardian Families in the surrounding cities."

"For those Guardian Families who remain true to their duties, support them with all your might and offer the greatest assistance. For those who shirk their duties, investigate and report to me, at best stripping them of the Guardian title, and if they harm a region, punish them without mercy."

Everyone’s expressions became solemn, and they quickly bowed their heads to take the order.

They knew well Qin Yi’s measures and decisive actions; it seemed this time many harmful Guardian Families would be in trouble.

Mu Lingchen frowned slightly, "Qin Yi, should we inform the Four Guardian Gods of this? After all, these Guardian Families are subordinate to the Four Guardian Gods, acting against them might cause displeasure among the Four Guardian Gods."

Qin Yi raised his hand across the table, a flash of light, and tokens engraved with different patterns appeared in everyone’s sight.

Azure Dragon Token, White Tiger Token, Vermilion Bird Token, Xuanwu Order.

When everyone saw this, they gasped, the tokens of the Four Guardian Gods were all in Qin Yi’s hands, it was astonishing.

Qin Yi squinted slightly, indifferently saying, "You just do as I say, boldly. I will take responsibility for any issue that arises."

"Yes!"

Everyone accepted the order with great spirit.

With the tokens of the Four Guardian Gods all in Qin Yi’s possession, seeing the tokens was like seeing the person, indicating that Qin Yi alone could completely represent the Four Guardian Gods.
