[201-400] GLOBAL BLESSED LAND: I CAN ADD ATTRIBUTES ON THE BUILDINGS

Chapter 216: Banquet, Expansion, and King Mandrill 's Ambition (2)

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong could be said to have joined the Green Lotus Territory at the same time as Guo Jing. However, Guo Jing was already in charge of the Green-Robed Tower. It was unknown if the two of them would feel disappointed.

“My lord, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong have entered the Warlord Bastion. While they haven’t officially become soldiers, they are ready and willing to do so.”

“They’re also training the soldiers who are called in.”

Hearing Guo Jia’s words, it seemed that the two of them didn’t feel resentful. Instead, they focused on training the newly recruited soldiers.

“Feng Xiao, go to the Warlord Bastion later and give them 10 bottles of high-grade White Jade Lotus Wine each. Tell them not to be anxious.”

“Okay, my lord!”

Guo Jia nodded.

After all, Guo Jing was the leader of a department, and the two of them were still training soldiers. They would definitely feel a little dissatisfied, so Mei Changge felt the need to comfort him.

“By the way, did the Green Lotus Recruitment Order recruit any special talents?”

Mei Changge asked again.

In the Great Song, Mei Changge knew there were definitely talents. However, did the Green Lotus Recruitment Order lure these people out?

“My lord, I did find one.”

Guo Jia thought for a moment and smiled at Mei Changge.

“Oh? What’s his name?”

Mei Changge looked at the smile on Guo Jia’s face. It seemed that the Green Lotus Recruitment Order was effective.

“The imperial official from the Great Song, Huang Shang! He claims to be well-versed in Daoist classics and has some knowledge of other classical texts.”

“He’s a rare talent.”

At the mention of Huang Shang, Guo Jia’s eyes flashed with admiration.

“Huang Shang?”

Mei Changge’s eyes lit up.

“Is his cultivation technique called the Nine Yin Manual?”

Huang Shang was the creator of the Nine Yin Manual. It could even be said that he portrayed the entire realm of the Great Song.

However, Mei Changge did not expect Huang Shang to still be in the Great Song. He did not know what was going on with Huang Shang.

“It does seem to be called the Nine Yin Manual. I didn’t ask in detail.”

Guo Jia thought for a moment and replied.

“Is that so?”

When Mei Changge heard Guo Jia’s answer, he could not help but think.

It seemed that Huang Shang’s experience was similar to Guo Jing’s, but he had indeed created the Nine Yin Manual.

“My lord, is this the Nine Yin Manual you’re talking about?”

Feng Heng’s eyes glinted when she heard their conversation. A hint of surprise flashed across her pretty face and she took out a blue book with the words “Nine Yin Manual” written on it.

Mei Changge saw the blue book in Feng Heng’s hand. He activated his spiritual energy and brought the book to his hand.

Looking at the descriptions of the Nine Yin Skeleton Claw and the scripture of bone and muscle strengthening, he couldn’t help but nod in approval.

“That’s right. This is the Nine Yin Manual that Huang Shang created.”

“This cultivation technique was fought over by many Grandmasters of the Great Song. I didn’t expect it to be created by an imperial official of the Great Song!”

Feng Heng displayed a look of disbelief. Mei Changge, on the other hand, speculated that Huang Shang might have chosen a reclusive life after composing the Nine Yin Manual.

However, it seemed like he was interested in the Green Lotus Territory since he had come out this time round.

“Feng Xiao, what do you think we should do with Huang Shang?” Mei Changge looked at Guo Jia and asked.

“My lord, aside from his strength, Huang Shang’s aptitude for city management is exceptional. It comes naturally to him, and I believe he can take on a significant role.”

Guo Jia thought for a moment and said.

He had passed Guo Jia’s test to be able to stand out from the Green Lotus Recruitment Order. As for his strength, Guo Jia didn’t think much of it.

After all, Huang Shang had only reached Innate Level 5. Yet, being a scholar rather than a soldier, he didn’t have to venture beyond the Green Lotus Territory to combat foreign forces.

Moreover, in Green Cloud City, even if he did not cultivate often, he still surpassed the other commoners.

The White Jade Lotus Wine would be helpful for his growth too.

“I’ll meet him in a few days. Have you decided on the lords of the various cities?”

Mei Changge nodded. He was also curious about Huang Shang.

“My lord, the appointments of the different lords have been tentatively determined. Nevertheless, they are only holding temporary roles in the cities. Ultimately, their qualification will depend on your personal judgment.”

“In that case, let’s arrange a banquet in three days. We’ll extend invitations to all the lords, Huang Shang, and the various department heads of the Green Lotus Territory to gather at Green Cloud Palace.”

Mei Changge thought for a moment and said to Guo Jia.

The Green Lotus Territory had started operating in all aspects, including the newly established Green-Robed Tower and Martial Arts Tower.

There were several purposes for holding a banquet.

Mei Changge’s primary objective was for the leadership of the Green Lotus Territory to become acquainted with one another.

Secondly, he aimed to establish his upcoming objectives for the growth and orientation of the Green Lotus Territory.

Lastly, despite the fact that the Green Lotus Territory had not yet breached the Dark Wall, its groundwork was already in place. The population of commoners from the Great Song was on the verge of reaching 10 million.

One could argue that it was beginning to take on the characteristics of a dynasty.

However, he could not be too anxious to build the Destiny Dynasty. He still needed to constantly improve his foundation.

Mei Changge was prepared to bestow some treasures upon his subordinates.

“Okay, my lord. I will make arrangements for the banquet.”

Guo Jia’s eyes sparkled with intrigue, unsure if it was due to the Spirit Wine served at the banquet or if he had accurately discerned Mei Changge’s intentions..
