Chapter 2386: Factory Plan

“Hmm, I can feel the expectations he has for me. Perhaps before, my rebellious self might have had some thoughts, but now, I just want to become better and make him proud.”

Tang Ming looked at Tang Xishu and smiled.

Tang Xishu was stunned, and even Fu San, who was conversing with Guo Cunhou not far away, paused when he heard Tang Ming’s words.

At this moment, Tang Ming’s appearance seemed more like Tang Mosheng.

“Brother, you will succeed. You are my pride now.”

Tang Xishu smiled happily and hugged Tang Ming as he spoke.

“Alright, now that we’re in West Continent City, we need to contribute to West Continent City. Although you’re my sister, I will treat you equally. Understand?”

Tang Ming understood a bit about how formidable the Tang Family’s cultivation technique and abilities were.

If the other person had been by Tang Mosheng’s side for so many years and was equipped with so many treasures, they must not be easy to deal with.

Since Tang Xishu proposed to stand up for West Continent City, neither Thunder Tower Master Li Jiuhong nor her master Fu San stopped her, which clearly showed that this girl was not simple.

“Alright, alright. Don’t worry, brother, I will also become your pride. I heard that Demon Origin Mountain is the most dangerous. How about I go there? For each demon, I’ll kill one. Wouldn’t that be interesting?”

Tang Xishu smiled happily and looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows, then shook his head and said, “It’s not the time now. The demons from Demon Abyss need to restrain the people from the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect. You should stay out of trouble; when it’s truly time to act, you will definitely be needed.”

Tang Xishu stuck out her tongue, but because Tang Ming had not assigned her a position and had previously set the three rules with Fu San, she really didn’t dare to act spoiled with Tang Ming.

Soon, groups of people left after understanding their tasks, and Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Fox Bachang.

Fox Bachang was selected this time as the logistics minister, responsible for managing all logistics matters. However, due to the high status of the logistics minister, there were many deputy ministers under him.

Tang Ming’s gaze fell on him, and Fox Bachang nodded directly and walked over: “City Lord, is there something?”

“Hmm, call over Lady Murong, let’s have a small meeting.”

Tang Ming nodded. Fox Bachang waved his hand, and a small fox flew out from within her sleeve.

After a while, Guo Cunhou, Fu San, Murong, Fox Bachang, and Tang Ming entered the nearby meeting room number nine.

Meeting room number nine is a kind of small meeting room, just the right size for everyone to have a seat.

Outside, Zhou Mo opened the door, and servants brought in refreshments and tea. Tang Ming coughed once: “Let the engineering department come over for a meeting.”

“Okay, I’ll go notify them immediately.”

Zhou Mo nodded and left meeting room number nine, and Tang Ming held a jade scroll in his hand.

The jade scroll quickly replicated into four copies, which were handed to the four other people in the room.

“This is my new plan. The population within the city is increasing and becoming more uneven. As the population grows, although combat, cultivation, and other things can be improved, there are too many idle individuals within the city. Therefore, I decided to build some factories.”

Tang Ming spoke while looking at Fu San.

Both Fu San and Guo Cunhou were unfamiliar with the term “factory.”

Fox Bachang and Murong also looked at Tang Ming with surprise, not knowing what this term represented.

However, after reading the content in the jade scroll, they all took a deep breath.

Because, it simply explained the function of the factories, which was practically utilizing all the excess manpower.

“Can this really be done?”

Fox Bachang stood up in surprise, fully aware that if this were truly possible, West Continent City would become a massive war machine.

At that time, there would be no need to mention Demon Abyss or Immortal Mountain; they might even conquer the Blood Ancestor Plane.

“Theory doesn’t match practice. Want to know whether it works? Test it out and you’ll know.”

Fu San had a faint smile on her face, and for the first time, she looked at Tang Ming with admiration.

After all, she had previously been quite reluctant about Tang Ming becoming the City Lord.

But now, she felt that if Tang Ming’s plans could be realized, even Tang Mosheng would be outmatched.

“Makes sense. I’ve always been responsible for training, but we only train farmers. If we want to train those who practice alchemy and refine artifacts, we might need to find others to take charge.”

Murong raised her eyebrows and said.

“Yes, we also need to train Immortal Chefs. Often, dietary therapy is more effective than elixir treatment. High-quality artifact refining requires Immortal Craftsmen to do the job. However, the city defense artillery, planned by the engineering department’s Immortal Craftsmen division, is meant to be assembled. The core is more complex, and the Immortal Craftsmen division can handle it. For other areas, let the Immortal Craftsmen division send a few instructors to teach, and let the trainees take charge. Then establish the factories.”

Tang Ming’s simple instructions made Fu San’s eyes light up multiple times, and Guo Cunhou coughed: “Indeed, this could enhance our strength, but we’re not at war yet. Gathering forces like this may seem wasteful, and these are military necessities that won’t provide us with enough resources.”

“I understand, which is why there’s this.”

Tang Ming took out another jade scroll and divided it into four, handing it to Guo Cunhou and the others.

Viewing this jade scroll’s content, Fu San stood up: “Brilliant, very brilliant. This is excellent. It solves the resource problem and improves the quality within the city, allowing the entirety of West Desolation to change, thus increasing the probability of refugees joining West Desolation.”

“It’s not just that; the trade association is also crucial.”

Tang Ming’s gaze targeted Fox Bachang.

Indeed, West Continent City has always had trading groups, but they mostly sell Immortal Rice. Especially on the road to Source Stone City, there, minerals are sold by Jin Family and Feng Family people.

The trade association helps maintain this.

Fox Bachang smiled and said: “You don’t believe in the trade association? Your third aunt might personally come to you. She’s always been very concerned with the trade association.”

“With third aunt involved, it’s truly not a problem. I think the artifacts we produce will be quite popular with those high nobles. However, we need to implement many measures, so those people can’t easily break our formations.”

Tang Ming took a deep breath.

Fu San smiled and said: “City Lord, our Thunder Tower Master Li Jiuhong specializes in the Dao of restrictions within formations. He’s particularly skilled at breaking restrictions and setting up self-destruction restrictions. I believe this can be entrusted to him.”
