At the same time, other counties in Jiuding Fantasy were also developing in full swing. According to the different ideas of different candidates, the policies and guidelines formulated are completely different.

Although the situation of each county town was similar when we first entered, now a day has passed, and it is equivalent to about a year of development in the Jiuding Illusion. Every county town under the rule of the candidate has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The scholars outside the fantasy also watched for a whole day. Looking at the ever-changing changes of each city and the different development strategies adopted by different candidates, they were all excited and looked forward to watching them compete.

"Old Lu, look... in the Nine-Director Illusion, the development strategy of each city can be seen as a reflection of the candidate's thoughts and principles. Zou Ziqi's five elements in Yin and Yang family are based on the laws of nature and the arrangement of the five elements, and pays attention to balance and rationality, and handles the development of the city in an orderly manner, especially in agriculture, which is even more remarkable..."

Time has passed little by little, but now the cities of various candidates have begun to take shape. Zhou Mu Pang Shihua commented on Lu Qingran to the current development status of the city, "There are also Hong Liyu's choice and development, Zhao Yi's military strategist victory... Ran Shichang's rank household registration... Especially Su Lin, it was really beyond my surprise. Many of his policies and measures are unheard of, especially rewarding childbirth... Using tax silver to reward people with more childbirth can actually play such a powerful role..."

...

Outsiders can naturally easily point out the results of the nine candidates, but only the nine candidates themselves know that it is not easy to manage a county town well. We must pay attention to the impact and effect of each policy plan and make adjustments at any time.

As the most intuitive manifestation is the indexes on the seal of each county magistrate. They are several indexes such as people's hearts, people's livelihood, agriculture, commerce, industry, and troop strength. From all these indexes, the county's "national destiny" is obtained.

"This time, the Nine-Dao Illusion is indeed much more complicated and stricter than the state trial. Just the few indexes printed by the county magistrate, the synthesis of the 'national destiny' is dazzling. This is still a simplified version. If it is a real country, the monarch needs to coordinate the governance of the entire country's population, no wonder all civil and military officials in the court need to handle government affairs..."

Through a whole day of familiarity and adjustment, Su Lin finally raised all indicators. This made him want to build online games that compete for the world and present all the complex indicators to digitize them.

These complex indexes offset and increase each other, and the final comprehensive strength index is the national destiny. Su Lin reported through spies and found that the current strength of the nine counties has also shown great changes.

The strongest ones are himself, Zou Ziqi and Zhao Yi, who are all full of national fortunes, but each has different emphasis. Su Lin is out of the list in all indexes, especially the people's desires. Zou Ziqi develops balancedly and is very coordinated overall. There is no way to find any mistakes. However, Zhao Yi is completely different and has a very strong military force. Now Zhao Cheng has developed into a military city that commands 10,000 troops.

The second one is Hong Liyu, Ran Shichang and others, and the country's fortunes range from 30% to 90%. Ran Shichang's people's hearts were very low, but under his control of such a level of household registration, the other indexes were not low. Hong Liyu, like Su Lin, focused on the people's hearts and business development. The others were mediocre, and the troops were only about 4,000, which was not considered a lot.

"The national destiny is a reflection of comprehensive strength and also reflected in the combat power of soldiers. Now Su Lin and Zou Ziqi's development are the best. Although Zhao Yi's national destiny is 100%, he only focuses on the development of troops. Relying on the county towns of several candidates around to seize food and grass is not the way to develop for a long time..."

"But if the war begins, Zhao Yi's army will be full of combat power! It will inevitably crush other candidates. Even if Su Lin and Zou Ziqi join forces, they may not be opponents!"

"That's not necessarily. National fortune is the most intuitive manifestation of a country's strength. Since the three of them have all had 100% national fortunes, they must really fight, and the match should be the same. It depends on how they deal with and strategy?"

"Unfortunately, due to the time of the state examination, candidates must decide the winner in one or two days. Otherwise, I really want to see what the nine counties will eventually become if they develop according to nine different plans!"

...

Seeing the development of various counties, the scholars were unbearable, but they could only continue to discuss and speculate which of them is stronger, who has the advantages and disadvantages of certain policies.

"So what if the people are so grateful? In the end, we have to rely on troops to decide the outcome? Although Su Lin and Zou Ziqi and I have a total of 100,000 troops, our Zhaocheng has an army of 100,000 and countless supplies. It is time to demonstrate the might of our military strategists!"

In Zhao City, Zhao Yi held the seal of the county magistrate, ignored the low index of the people's hearts, took out the great Confucian military talisman, walked out of the county government, passed the order, raised his arms and shouted, and tens of thousands of iron-armored soldiers, with a rainbow of momentum, rushed towards the nearest city.

"It's over! It's over... it's coming again, Zhao Cheng's army is coming again..."

"Hey! I don't know how much money, grain and population we are going to rob again this time!"

"Zhao Yi is the naked and naked bandit..."

...

Raising soldiers with war was a strategy that Zhao Yi had unswervingly formulated from the beginning, but this time he sent troops, he no longer held back. With a wave of the Great Confucian military talisman, he threw out a few pages of Wenbao's military book "Thirty-Six Strategies", and a 10,000 army crushed over. The opponent's soldiers with small combat power and quantity collapsed in one blow, and the city gate was blasted open. Zhao Yi led the army to the county government. This time, he did not rob food or silver, and directly killed the other party's county magistrate, and the one who robbed the county seal.

A loud whistle!

The nine tripods hanging above the examination room were buzzing, and the holy light of one of the holy cauldrons dimmed in an instant. Then a candidate was thrown out of it in disheartenedly. He was the county magistrate who had just been crushed and eliminated by Zhao Yi's army.

"Someone was eliminated? This... means that the Nine Dings Battle has officially started?"

"Didn't you see it just now? Zhao Yi's army of 10,000 was crushed, and he was not an opponent at all. He was eliminated in an instant!"

"What a powerful force! The formation of military strategists is also superbly used, and there is also the "Thirty-Six Strategies" of military strategists. Although Zhao Yi is still only a scholar's literary position, the military strategists are the most powerful among the nine candidates!"

...

Zhao Yi destroyed a city, and even the trumpet of war sounded, and the county magistrates of other cities felt it as soon as possible.

"Is it going to start? Zhao Yi's military strength is strong, but... my Yin-Yang and Five Elements Way can find your weaknesses and then restrain it tightly! It is not difficult to defeat you. Only Su Lin deserves to be my Zou Ziqi's opponent!"

Zou Ziqi didn't care about Zhao Cheng's military strength when he saw such a powerful force. His Yin and Yang and Five Elements are mutually generated and restrained, and Yin and Yang can complement each other, but he can also infer the enemy's weaknesses. Especially a military formation like Zhao Yi, which seems extremely powerful, but as long as he grasps his weaknesses, it is not a problem.

"Zhao Yi's troops are already tens of thousands, and the troops in my Sucheng are only five thousand, and their combat power is obviously lower than Zhao Yi's level. If you really fight, you must not fight head-on! However, the defense fortifications of my Sucheng are well done, with high walls and strong city. If Zhao Yi wants to break through my Sucheng, it will not be easy!"

Su Lin knew that he was definitely not as good as Zhao Yi in terms of military strength, so he worked hard on the fortifications of the city, and was worried that Zhao Yi would come to challenge and make trouble when he developed the city. However, it seemed that Zhao Yi wanted to keep Su Lin's opponent in the end, but he never came to harass him. However, now that he has destroyed a city and officially announced the beginning of the war, Su Lin also has to be careful.

"Zhao Yi is just a good example. What's so great about tens of thousands of soldiers? I want to kill him, but in a moment?"

Ran Shichang in Ran City held a volume of Wenbao Dao Book in his hand, and was not worried about the issue of starting a war. Instead, he looked at Su Lin's Su Cheng and smiled sinisterly: "Su Lin, since Su Cheng is the condensation and reflection of your thoughts in Taoism, I will completely defeat your Taoism in front of you, so that you can also taste the desperate situation of broken Taoism and collapsed thoughts!"

One city was destroyed by Zhao Yi, and peace was completely broken. Several other candidates with weak national destiny immediately formed a group with each other and united in an attempt to resist Zhao Yi's attack.

Hong Liyu also nervously sent envoys to Su Lin's city, forming Su Cheng and Hongcheng into an alliance city. The national fortune instantly connected into a qi, both offense and defense. Under the influence of Su Lin's holy word "Zong", the strong united and his fortune was promoted again.

"Preparation order!"

In Sucheng, Su Lin issued an emergency preparation order. In an instant, the people of Sucheng enthusiastically joined the army. Soon, the number of soldiers in Sucheng also increased to 10,000.

When he entered the Nine Ding Illusion Realm, Su Lin had already brought more than 2,700 soldiers. Later, Su Lin adopted the "military service system" for the conscription strategy. Almost all middle-aged men of the right age in the city had to undergo military training. After the training, he returned home and replaced another group of men of the right age.

In this way, although on the surface, Sucheng's troops have always been maintained at a number of 5,000, once Su Lingai has issued a "preparation order" sealed by the county magistrate, it can reach the point where the whole people are soldiers. Not to mention ten thousand soldiers, even 30,000 soldiers are definitely not a problem.
