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

nTranslator: 549690339

nThis year, Li Yueming was nine years old.

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

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

nThe court was troubled by both internal and external troubles.

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

nHe looked around.

nAll of them were signs of a chaotic world.

nIn the first half of winter.

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

nIn the autumn of the second half of the year.

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

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

nA large group of Grandmasters of Combat departed dejectedly.

nOn the other side.

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

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

nAt this point.

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

nAfter doing all this.

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

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

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

nAlmost all of them expressed their submission to him.

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

nRegarding this.

nLi Yueming didn’t refuse.

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

nHe had to have enough people under him.

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

nThe deadline was half a year.

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

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

nNonsense.

nEveryone had witnessed Li Yueming’s combat strength.

nTo be under such a boss.

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

nHence, he decided to do it.

nUnder the circumstances where he had absolute power.

nThe 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.

nThe next step.

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

nBecause of the war and famine.

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

nWhen the foreigners ruled.

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

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

nIn times of chaos, population was a heavy burden.

nBut for Li Yueming.

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

nThe population was absolute power.

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

nOn the city wall.

nOne 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!”

nHearing this.

nTheir faces were filled with disbelief.

nAt this moment.

nThe originally tightly shut gate of the Azure Capital opened a crack.

nAfter the refugees confirmed that they weren’t dizzy or hallucinating.

nThey were all excited.

nHe rushed towards the city gate as if he had gone crazy.

nOn the city wall.

n‘ Everyone must queue up to enter the city. Anyone who disturbs the order, spreads rumors, or incites martial arts will be killed without mercy!” the martial artist continued.”

nHis voice was very loud.

nHowever, how could the refugees who had already gone crazy listen to these words?

nAll of them ignored this.

nHowever…

nWhen they reached the city gate.

nHe looked at the murderous armored soldiers in the city and the martial artists on both sides of the city gate who were full of vigor and held long sabers.

nHe instantly calmed down.

nAt this moment, Li Yueming was also standing at the entrance.

nHe looked at the starving refugees.

nLi Yueming expressionlessly said to the soldiers and martial artists behind him,””Anyone who dares to step past the city gate will be killed immediately!” He could feel the murderous aura emanating from Li Yueming’s body.

nThe restless refugees finally regained some rationality.

nOf course.

nThere were also those who were not afraid of death, relying on the fact that they had more people and wanted to take this opportunity to force their way into the city.

nAs a result…

nNaturally, he was beheaded by the surrounding martial artists and kicked around like a ball.

nFinally, he hung it on the city wall as a warning.

nAt the side.

nThe registrar sitting next to Li Yueming kept wiping the sweat off his forehead.

nTo be honest.

nAs the second-in-command of the city lord.

nThe registrar had been in Qingdu Port for so many years and had seen some ruthless people.

nHowever, it was the first time he had seen someone as fierce and ruthless as Li Yueming.

nOne had to know that there were nearly 100,000 refugees in front of him!

nAll of them were so hungry that their eyes had turned yellow. A small mistake could cause a large-scale mutiny.

nLi Yueming actually opened the city gate in front of so many refugees!!!

nEven though it was only a sliver.

nThe danger involved was unimaginable.

nThe starving refugees were not humans.

nThe starving refugees were like wild beasts that could choose a person to eat at any time.

nIf it wasn’t for the fact that his little life was in danger.

nHowever, under such circumstances.

nLi Yueming managed to suppress the chaos that was about to happen.

nSuch ruthlessness and decisiveness really made the registrar flabbergasted.

nAfter temporarily suppressing the rioting refugees.

nLi Yueming waved his hand.

nThe porridge that his cheap mother, Fu Xiaorou, and the others had prepared was carried up.

nThe food used to cook the porridge was all confiscated by Li Yueming from the Free State’s Gokudo Path Combat Headquarters.

nJust the food alone had been copied out of three warehouses.

nThere were countless other gold, silver, and all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry.

nIn Li Yueming’s hands, these were just a pile of scrap metal.

nTherefore, he had no choice.

nAll of them were taken out by him to help the victims.

nOutside the door.

nThe eyes of the disaster victims turned green when they smelled the porridge.

nA new round of riots was about to begin.

n” This is relief food!” the warrior on the city gate shouted.” Every household can line up to receive it. Everyone will get a share!” In addition, if there were any acts of snatching the food, they would all be killed without mercy!”

nHearing this.

nThere were still many refugees who didn’t believe in evil and rushed forward.

nAs for the result…

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

nFu Xiaorou and the others were really giving out porridge.

nThe restless refugees calmed down a little.

nThere was food.

nThey could even queue up to enter the city.

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

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

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

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

nThe refugees were completely controlled by Li Yueming.

nAlthough there was still some chaos outside the city.

nHowever, there were no large-scale riots.

nIn just one day.

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

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

nDuring the harvest year.

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

nIn the event of a disaster.

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

nAfter this group of people entered the city.

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

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

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

nAs long as the arrangements were made properly.

nQingdu Port could easily absorb a lot of refugees.

nAt the same time.

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

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

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

nTherefore, he had no choice.

nMany 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.

nIn just two short months.

nAlmost 200,000 refugees flooded into Qingdu Port.

nThis was a very large number.

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

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

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

nIn addition, the number of refugees increased.

nThe security problem in Qingdu Port was more obvious.

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

nThose who were more ruthless.

nThere were even people who killed for money.

nRegarding this.

nLi Yueming immediately took out his thunderous methods.

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

nKill all the sneaky guys they caught.

nUnder this kind of high-pressure punishment.

nThe security problem in Qingdu Port was finally alleviated.

nOf course.

nThe curfew was only a temporary measure.

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

nLi Yueming was troubled by this for a while.

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

nHowever, it was too inefficient for the poor refugees.

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

nTherefore, after considering everything.

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