Chapter 1564: Territory Settled
White Phoenix Collar, White Phoenix Palace.
Bai Xiaowen and his companions sat together.
"That's about it, the report is complete. Bai Xiaowen picked up the slightly rough pottery teacup and took a sip of water.
“......”
Except for Zhen Mi, who paid more attention to demeanor, the other companions all opened their mouths and fell into a petrified state, which lasted for a whole second.
After a short silence, Qiao Rui said in disbelief: "You mean, you not only thwarted the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty to invade and occupy the Shao position, but also tied the Shangqing faction to our chariot!"
Cecilia: "I have also abducted so many Gang Qi masters, and there are a few who are stronger than me!"
Han Xu: "Yuanwu Zhenjing ......"
Li Shuyi: "There is still a balance of close to 20,000 spirit crystals! This is not scientific, you must have hooked up with that female leader!" She looked at Zhen Mi, who had been very calm and did not speak: "Sister Luoshen, why are you not surprised at all?"
Zhen Mi covered her mouth and chuckled: "The concubine knows the husband's ability." ”
Bai Xiaowen coughed: "Okay, no kidding...... I've been away for a month, how is the territory going?"
Zhen Mi first reported: "The situation is normal, those young orphans are very diligent, they have harvested all kinds of vegetables in the first season, and the rice grain is expected to be harvested in about a month, and I will send people to select seeds and expand the planting area." I've sent a phalanx of skeleton workers to clear new farmland.
Han Xu said: "With the tools obtained from the transaction, I built a forging workshop, and now the few apprentices I brought out have learned to smelt metal ingots, which has reduced a lot of workload...... At present, the demand for metal products in the White Phoenix Palace has been basically met. ”
Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui also reported on the mineral exploration.
Bai Xiaowen originally carved out Xijiang as the territory of the White Phoenix Territory, and the mineral resources were really rich, and this month, Li Shuyi and Qiao Rui successively discovered two silver mines and one copper mine.
Moreover, in one of the silver-rich mines, an associated spirit crystal was found!
Although the number is very small, it only occasionally produces companion spirit crystals, but it is really exciting - if it weren't for Bai Xiaowen being too perverted and getting back nearly 20,000 spirit crystals from Shao's positioning plane, this associated spirit crystal mine would be the only source of income for the White Phoenix Territory, and its status would be extremely important.
However, perhaps because of the companion spirit crystals, there will always be some wild monsters in this silver-rich mine.
Most of these wild monsters are mutants of poisonous insects such as snakes and scorpions, and their levels are generally around level 12, most of them are of ordinary strength, a small number of elite creatures, and there is no leader yet.
The appearance of these wild mutant poisonous insects has greatly affected the mining progress of the skeleton workers, because the skeleton workers are not used to fight, but are specialized in producing coolies, and they are completely unable to fight in the face of these mutant monsters comparable to evolutionaries.
In addition to cultivating, Li Shuyi, Qiao Rui, and Cecilia will work together to clear the wild monsters in the silver-rich mines and protect the skeleton workers. However, the energy of the three of them is limited after all, and it is impossible for them to stay in the mine forever.
After Bai Xiaowen understood the situation, he said: "This situation is very common, and it will be encountered often in the future. Those wild monsters themselves were just ordinary poisonous insects, and they were mutated because the aura of the associated spirit crystal ore was too strong. The richer the deposit itself, the stronger the mutant monster will become...... Therefore, the armies formed by many territories are usually used as mine protection teams, and some lords are worried about the loss of the mine protection team, so they will send evolutionaries to the mining area to take turns on duty. ”
"Hey, Xiaowen, how do you know so clearly. Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I manipulated Li Feng...... Well, he is an important figure in the Tang Dynasty, and he learned it from his memory fragments. ”
"Then you should know more about the Tang Territory, right?, how strong is this territory?" asked Li Shuyi.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Don't worry, although you can only know one scale and half a claw from the memory fragments, the expedition of the Great Tang Dynasty Leader is itself costly, and it is incomparable to our local war and geographical advantages." Now there are more than 300 warriors, and it is more than enough to organize them well and protect the safety of the territory. ”
"Those more than 300 martial artists should have come for the Source Martial True Scripture. It is necessary to find a way to use the Source Martial True Scripture to mobilize their enthusiasm to protect the territory. Qiao Rui thought and said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "The Datang Territory has a territory contribution system, which is basically to establish meritorious deeds and obtain contributions, and you can use the contributions to enjoy some of the cultivation resources of the territory, which can be regarded as a token in parallel with the spirit crystal." We can do that too, and I've got a rough charter for how to do that. ”
Bai Xiaowen planned to grade the subjects, and now the more than 400 subjects in the territory are all set to level 1; for the contribution to the territory, he named it "White Phoenix Coins" and ordered Han Xu to be responsible for minting.
Level 1 lords receive a small amount of White Phoenix Coins (Territory Contribution) every month, and can earn White Phoenix Coins by taking low-level territory tasks, or they can join the territory army and become a glorious soldier of the White Phoenix Territory, and they can also receive a certain amount of White Phoenix Coins as military pay every month.
Then, according to the time to join the province, the number of tasks completed, and the efficiency, after a period of time, apply for a promotion to level 2 of the lord. Tier 2 lords will not only receive more White Phoenix Coins every month, but will also receive more high-end territory tasks and more rewards, and moreover, tier 2 lords can get higher ranks when they join the territory army! Of course, the military salary will also be increased.
Then there are level 3 lords, level 4 lords, and so on.
As for the use of the White Phoenix Coins, they are relatively small at present, in addition to the enlightenment time of the "Source Martial True Sutra", they can also be used to buy food, houses, cultivation medicinal materials, and so on. In the future, with the abundance of materials in the White Phoenix Collar, the use of White Phoenix coins will become more and more extensive.
Aborigines who join the territory's army will not only receive a monthly salary of White Phoenix Coins, but also save a sum of White Phoenix Coin for food, because the territorial army provides three meals and a military camp for accommodation.
Bai Xiaowen almost clearly told all the people that joining the army was glorious and had many benefits.
Only by improving the treatment of the army in the territory can the enthusiasm of the people to join the army be high, and only then can Bai Xiaowen strictly control and govern the army strictly, and train a group of real Chinese warriors.
If there is no such differential treatment, how can the free and loose warriors of the rivers and lakes take the initiative to join the army and accept strict military discipline?
Regarding the rank of the people, the rank of the army, and the corresponding territorial rules, Bai Xiaowen used his brains to compile a set of clear and strict rules and regulations. He didn't want his territory to become like the Tang Dynasty in the future, corrupt and corrupt, and bribery was commonplace, and he always had to maintain high efficiency and high combat effectiveness.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen still gave certain preferential treatment to the masters among this group of martial artists, which is also to take care of the face of these famous masters.
