“Sure.”

Mei Changge nodded and looked at the people below.

“Huang Shang is currently in charge of Green Lotus City.”

“Huo Anning is currently in charge of Forest City.”

“Luo Ping is currently in charge of Obsidian City.”

“Greetings, my lord!”

As Guo Jia introduced them, the three of them stood up one by one and bowed to Mei Changge.

The three of them were currently the three City Lords of the Green Lotus

Territory.

“My lord, since the other cities have not been stabilized yet, I will oversee them temporarily. Once the arrangements are in place, I will select a suitable candidate from the Green Cloud Pavilion.’

Guo Jia cupped his hands at Mei Changge.

Currently, in the Green Lotus Territory, the only cities that were truly named were Green Lotus City, Forest City, and Obsidian City. Other than Green Cloud City, although the other cities had been built, they had yet to be named.

The main reason was that these cities would fall into No Man’s Land in the future.

“Don’t need to stand on ceremony!”

Mei Changge looked at the three of them and nodded slightly. To be able to stand out from the Green Cloud Pavilion and temporarily serve as city lords, this meant that the three of them had passed Guo Jia’s test.

“The Green Lotus Territory will continue to expand. The position of the City

Lord is only the beginning. I hope you will do your best!”

At that moment. Mei Changge said to the three of them in a serious tone.

In his opinion, the role of the City Lord might appear to be a higher-ranking position in the Green Lotus Territory, but in the future, it should be more of a middle-tier position.

Above the City Lord, there will also be lords for prefectures and even provinces.

Of course, this was all Mei Changge’s plan and ambition for the future. At least for now, the position of City Lord was one of the upper echelons of the Green Lotus Territory.

“We will do our best!”

The three of them sounded serious.

Huang Shang was originally an imperial official in the Great Song. Although he retired in the later stages, he still knew the Great Song very well. Ever since the death of the Great Song royal family, he had joined the Green Lotus Territory with the people of the Great Song.

He had observed the Green Lotus Territory for a long time as well. Be it the release of cultivation techniques or the treasures of Green Cloud City, they were all the wonders of this world.

Moreover, the divine arts mastered by Transcendents ignited a passionate fire within his heart.

He had the thought of becoming an official.

Moreover, in his perception, the Green Lotus Territory still resembled a territory, yet it already exuded the essence of a dynasty. It seemed as though it was only a step away from Mei Changge ascending the throne and becoming a king.

“Alright, take a seat!”

Mei Changge smiled and gestured for them to take a seat.

“Yu Ying, bring out the dishes. Today, I’ll enjoy a drink with everyone and chat as we do!”

Mei Changge looked at Yu Ying who was standing beside him and instructed.

“Yes, my lord!”

Yu Ying said respectfully.

Soon after, under Yu Ying’s command, the maids began to serve delicacies to every table.

These dishes were specially prepared by a famous chef that Guo Jia had recruited from the Green Lotus Territory over the past few days.

Moreover, the ingredients needed for every delicacy contained spirituality. It could be said that they were all made from spiritual plants.

Mei Changge could also tell that everyone present was a little nervous. He decided to drink and chat with them. This way, he could make everyone present relax a lot.

“My lord, as the number of cities in the territory has gradually increased, I think the territory should be able to collect taxes soon!”

The maids kept serving the delicacies, and Guo Jia asked. Compared to the others, he didn’t feel restrained. Instead, he asked questions.

“That’s true. Currently, the businesses in the different cities are also expanding. We can indeed collect taxes.”

Hu Hua nodded in agreement when he heard Guo Jia’s words.

Taxes were essential to sustain the operations of a faction. Additionally, in the future, when establishing a dynasty, funding would be needed for training and paying soldiers.

However, Mei Changge did not care much about taxes. After all, there were countless stargates. The resources obtained from them were enough to satisfy the development of the Green Lotus Territory.

However, this could only be done with a large number of stargates. If a force were to develop in the long term, taxation was unavoidable.

“My lord, be it business or other aspects, taxation can stabilize the finances of the Green Lotus Territory. Therefore, I think taxation is an important matter for the development of the Green Lotus Territory.”

Guo Jia said again. He knew that Mei Changge would ascend to the throne soon. If a dynasty were to develop in the long term without stargates, taxation was inevitable.

After all, be it the salaries of officials or the construction of territories, this money was basically from the national treasury.

The biggest benefit of the treasury was taxation.

“My lord, the Registry Hall not only records the population of the Green Lotus Territory but also tracks extensive land holdings. I believe land management is also a challenge that the Green Lotus Territory is about to encounter.”

At that moment, Xu Changqing spoke. Although it was not a tax problem, land was also very important.

Moreover, as the population of the Green Lotus Territory grew, the demand for food also increased. However, the food issue was no longer a pressing concern. That was because both the Green Lotus Territory and Mei Changge’s Blessed Land had been extensively cultivated for a long time.

“Land can also generate taxes. If there is a large amount of land that remains unused, it will result in wasted resources..”
