"The most serious issue involves the former Five Stars Tribe residents and the people brought by Beng Yu."

"The remaining small settlements and the sunset people on the Luoshan side don't have a particular distinction in this regard, they are pretty much settled."

"However, the number of sunset people is too small to affect the big picture, and they prefer to rely on themselves. Their strength is formidable, and hunting is not a difficult task for them."

"Besides that, there are those extremely complex small settlements. Due to the large number, even though they seem quite submissive to the Star Moon Tribe, City Lord Xiao doesn't dare to trust them lightly."

"This complex situation hasn't been resolved since the establishment of Three Stars Town!"

"So I don't think City Lord Xiao will throw this biggest problem at you as soon as you arrive, Third Brother!"

"You're right, City Lord Xiao indeed didn't give me this difficult task!" Sun Crown nodded with relief, unexpectedly impressed that his usually muddle-headed Ninth Sister could articulate such a detailed statement when they met again.

"Of course, City Lord Xiao is different from Water Governor, City Lord Xiao always focuses on stability!"

"So I suspect that City Lord Xiao surely handed the incomplete town construction tasks over to you!"

"You guessed right, indeed, indeed, it seems you have grown during this period too!" Sun Crown expressed his comfort.

"Of course!"

"But, Third Brother, these constructions might not be as simple as you think!" Hua Xi's face showed a trace of worry.

"No hurry, take your time. The delicacies on this table are about to get cold!"

"Alright!"

After a few rounds of drinks, Sun Crown revisited the previous topic: "What did you mean when you said it's not that simple, Ninth Sister?"

"Third Brother should remember what I said earlier, right?"

"Of course, I remember!"

"The problem lies here: when Three Stars Town was first established, it was planned according to a standard for one hundred thousand people, and the shops assisted by the Clan Leader were actually only on East Street."

"Thus, it not only preliminarily solves the living difficulties for those who recently joined our Star Moon Tribe but also, to some extent, boosts the enthusiasm of those people, allowing Three Stars Town to be perfected more quickly."

"But the outcome was completely different from what the Clan Leader thought, partly due to the impact of Deputy City Lord Beng Luo."

"Currently, Three Stars Town has about seventy thousand people, with nearly thirty thousand from Beng Yu Settlement. The Five Stars Remnant accounts for about twenty thousand, and although the more than a hundred powerful people on the Luoshan side have a strong presence, their influence on Three Stars Town is negligible."

"The remaining small settlements count for about twenty thousand people as well, but because their composition is too complex, they cannot voice a common opinion; they only unite when oppressed."

"Three Stars Town itself can only accommodate one hundred thousand residents. Seventy thousand is quite a number. Ideally, the four large areas divided by four main streets should at least be fully occupied by three areas!"

"But in reality, only two areas are fully occupied, with many residents of low strength being forcibly crowded together!"

"Wait, doesn't the City Lord Mansion manage such matters?" Sun Crown frowned.

"It's not about not managing, but being unable to manage it. In the eyes of these residents, the big figures of the former settlements are more terrifying than us. They dare not resist."

"City Lord Xiao once considered using force to separate them and divert them to the remaining southwest two areas, but without exception, all failed!"

"Is it due to coercion?"

"No, those redirected residents actually ran back on their own, which is why I said their fear of the former settlements' big figures outweighs their fear of us."

"This resulted in the west and south areas becoming like Ghost Street!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"According to City Lord Xiao's plan, to resolve the residents' issues within the city, the first step is to completely disperse these residents!"

"So although my task is to build the city's uncompleted facilities, it's actually about figuring out how to separate the residents, right?" Sun Crown pondered.

"Yes, Third Brother, this task is not easy. The people here are different from our previous world. Their mindsets are very outdated, and they have a strong sense of collectiveness!"

"No problem, this is quite normal. Otherwise, it would be strange if the Clan Leader suddenly sent me here!"

Seemingly realizing something, Hua Xi's face revealed a hint of delight: "That's right, Third Brother's ability is most suited for handling this kind of situation!"

"Alright, now that I know the main objectives ahead, I must start preparing."

"Ninth Sister, I might need your assistance at that time. You mustn't evade it!"

"Of course, little sister will surely assist Third Brother. During my time in Three Stars Town, I have gathered some people under my command!" Hua Xi boasted.

"Like that butler who greeted me earlier?"

"Exactly right, Third Brother. Although people here love to band together, there are still quite a few who don't. Loners are not uncommon!"

"As long as you are willing to spend Star Coins, you can still recruit some manpower, and the people here are very loyal. No, it should be said that they are faithful to their promises!"

"Faithful to their promises, huh? That's a very good quality. Maybe I could start from there!" Sun Crown's eyes gleamed with a strategic light.

"It's getting late; I'll be heading back now."

"Alright!"

Although it was just his first day on the job, Sun Crown's place of residence and other trifles had already been properly arranged.

......

Star Moon Tribe

After transferring some documents that required Chen Jiuge's personal attention, Shuibing suddenly asked, "The eight people who appeared recently, are they the ones you cultivated in Nine Yang Land?"

Chen Jiuge was puzzled as to why Shuibing would bring this up now but didn't deny it, directly admitting, "That's correct."

"Their cultivation is quite impressive, and their learning speed is fast. They can indeed help you quickly gain control of the current Star Moon Tribe."

"However, why would you send one of them to Three Stars Town? Do you think he can solve the issues there?"

"What's the harm in giving it a try?"

Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head, "With you here, isn't the current Star Moon Tribe already under my control? What difference does one more or one less make?"

Shuibing, hearing this, said no more.

"More than eight years left, less than nine!"

"Maybe it's also time for me to resume my old profession!"

The Star Moon Tribe has now entered a relatively stable period. The abundance of resources makes those who joined the Star Moon Tribe sincerely submit.

The appearance of the Nine people of Sun Crown further filled the void left by Bai Li and others.

Recently, it seems that Di Chun has been doing something, as the exchanges for food have decreased, plus, with the Star Moon Tribe now having a smaller population, the Logistics Realm is no longer in deficit.

The only uncertainty now is whether the Four Seasons Tribe will take action against the Ghost Fighting Tribe in eight years.

Chen Jiuge cannot intervene in such major matters nor does he have the capability to do so. The only thing he can do is to strengthen his own power as much as possible.

The newly established three great armies have, after initial integration, begun to discreetly spread out, gathering wandering mountain people, and Chen Jiuge even subtly hinted to Beng Yu that the Star Moon Tribe does not discriminate against alien races; in fact, it welcomes them greatly.

However, Beng Yu is still hesitant and hasn't immediately gathered the alien races, but presumably, it won't be long before Beng Yu figures it out.

If Beng Yu is unwilling, Chen Jiuge still has backup plans. After all, among the entire Beng Yu Settlement, alien races constitute ninety percent; among so many people, there are bound to be those genuinely wishing to stay in this Star Moon Tribe, which has no prejudice against them.

Having decided to resume his old profession of nurturing Spiritual Beasts, it's now time to arrange some current matters first.

"The recruitment quota for the three armies?"

"One area with one hundred thousand people, but strive to recruit from small settlements!"

Though small tribes tend to have higher quality, people from small settlements are more easily assimilated into the Star Moon Tribe, as seen from the situation in Three Stars Town. In contrast, small tribesmen have deeply ingrained loyalty passed down through generations, making it difficult to shift their allegiance to the Star Moon Tribe without significant time and effort!

"White Tiger Tribe, Exotic Beast Tribe, Qingsong Tribe!"

These three tribes are newly established by Bai Li, Feng Cang, and Song Bei. With Chen Jiuge's assistance and the Star Moon Tribe's banner, it's not difficult for the trio to establish a new tribe. However, the resources produced by the tribes remain relatively low, so although there is no activity now, there will eventually be some action.

After pondering for a while, Chen Jiuge eventually penned a line of words: "Appropriate assistance can be given!"
