Chapter 186: Three Days (4)
How many small and medium-sized forces are there in Kinunu City? If you count all the small groups like the Sword Hunter Regiment at the beginning, then there are four or five thousand of them.
As the only city in the Wuyin Continent, Jinunu City covers a huge area, covering an area of about 10,000 square kilometers, and the combined population of the three ethnic groups is about 7.8 million.
The elven clan has a population of only more than 700,000, the demon clan has more than 2.5 million, and the human side has the most, totaling more than 4.6 million. Then there was not much difference in the area of control occupied by the three clans in the city. In terms of blocks, the demon clan has two more blocks than the elf clan, and the human race has two more blocks than the demon clan.
However, in terms of population, there are more humans than elves and demons combined, so the human-controlled area has always been thought to be overcrowded.
and more than 700,000 elves completely unified into an army. The difference between the two and a half million demon clans and the five tribes is that although there have always been eight major forces on the human side, in fact, the eight major forces together account for only one million people. The rest are all small and medium-sized forces and free people.
This shows how many small and medium-sized forces there are.
However, a small organization like the Sword Hunter Regiment is generally not counted, and according to the custom here in Kinunu City, if the number of people in the organization is less than five hundred, it will not be counted at all. In other words, in the city of Kinunu, the smallest force must have 500 people.
And this time, the ones who came to Tang Dou were the small alliances of sixteen small and medium-sized forces that were more famous. And the two leading families among these sixteen families were actually reorganized by the remnants of the great force that had been destroyed by the Beast King Gate. At this point, these two middle-sized forces have a congenital good impression of Tang Dou.
Of the other fourteen forces, five are medium-sized forces, and the remaining nine are small forces that can barely meet the requirements of medium-sized forces. The number of these 16 small and medium-sized forces together is almost 70,000 or 80,000. In terms of numbers, it is a little more than the Fengxian Sect, which has the smallest number of people among the seven major forces at present.
Of course, a large number of people does not mean a large number of combat effectiveness. Another characteristic of small and medium-sized forces is that there are not many masters, for example, these sixteen small and medium-sized forces are also relatively famous in the human control area, but among the two strongest of them, the strongest few people are only the strength of the third level of gold. Sixteen together, the silver level does not exceed a thousand.
And the Phoenix Gate is not the master of the door, the Impatiens Flower Ji, not the mysterious, only the Impatiens Flower Ji knows the existence of the shadow girl. It's just that the four "Kao" under Impatiens Flower Ji are all masters above the fifth level of gold. And the silver level can find two or three thousand in the Phoenix Immortal Gate.
Fengxian Sect has the smallest number of people among the seven major forces, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it can be ranked in the top three. The key is that if a female soul cultivator who can gain a foothold in the Fog Hidden Continent doesn't have two brushes, she will either die or become someone else's plaything.
As a female-only one. And it can squeeze into Fengxian Gate, one of the seven major forces, and the combat effectiveness of the women's army under his command can be imagined.
As for the workshop that has not been clearly stated now, but has been tacitly regarded as the eighth major force, it is not Tang Dou, but just pull out the dry war beasts of Ah Bao, Xiao Chunzi, and Bright Tiger, and you can sweep everything.
After Tang Dou finished talking with Si Shaoyin, he came to another conference hall, and this time it was Xing who was waiting in the conference hall. This voiceless girl is like a saint in the workshop. She doesn't have a specific project in charge, she looks like a handyman, and she goes to help wherever she is needed.
But if you want the workshop people to do an election and choose the favorite person, then after excluding the Tang Dou family, Xing is the most popular one.
There will always be some people in this world who are inherently charismatic. Tang Dou had to admit that if he and Xingfang were in the same status, his popularity might not be a fraction of Xing's.
Tang Dou's positioning of Xing is the saintess of the workshop. The spiritual leader does not need to be specifically responsible for anything, her existence is used to unite people's hearts.
In other words. Tang Dou's expectation for Xing was that after he left the Fog Hidden Continent, let her take over and let the workshop continue to maintain a high degree of cohesion.
And now it seems that Xing has done quite well, even better than Tang Dou imagined.
Seeing Tang Dou coming, the two representatives of the sixteen small and medium-sized forces saluted Tang Dou together.
"Sit down, everyone, and you're welcome. Don't be inhibited, just like your own home! Tang Dou's attitude towards the representatives of small and medium-sized forces was much gentler: "Fortunately, you don't have to stand there, come and sit with me!" ”
Fortunately, he was stunned, and then he was happy and excitedly sat next to Tang Dou, and his excited little face turned red.
is different from the thin appearance when I first met Tang Dou, after a few months of recuperation, now Xing has recovered his original well-behaved and pretty appearance, the top beauty is not counted, but the first-class beauty is no problem.
And Tang Dou's outfit has always been taken care of by him personally. Needless to say, the taste of elf beauties is naturally needless to say, Tang Dou's clothes are all designed and made by elf beauties themselves.
Sitting side by side with Xing, it is quite a bit of a fairy couple.
Or Xing does have some ideas, just looking at the excited appearance of her sitting next to Tang Dou, you can see a few clues, but Xing knows that her thoughts can only be ideas, and she will not and dare not have any trespassing.
"Your Excellency Nicholas, in the Xia Tianquan Gang Gang Leader An Ling, this is Taishi Lu, the master of the Qingfeng Gate. This time, we are here to discuss some affairs with Your Excellency on behalf of the sixteen gangs of the White Tower Alliance! "Or he knew that Tang Dou was a guy who didn't play cards according to common sense, so An Ling, the leader of the Tianquan Gang, said it straight to the point.
Of course, Tang Dou still asked people to serve good tea, and when the tea was ready, he spoke slowly: "Gang leader Anling, I don't know what you plan to talk to me about?" Trade? Or something else? ”
An Ling hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering the words, and after a deep groan, he said, "First of all, it's about the matter of opening up the rune array and renting land. His Excellency Nicholas said earlier that specific matters need to be asked in the workshop. We, the White Tower Alliance, didn't dare everyone to disturb us, so we sent the two of us to ask! ”
This is obviously just an excuse to open up the topic. Tang Dou announced the Rune Array, as well as the matter of renting land, if every gang member came to Tang Dou, then Tang Dou would not have to do anything for the remaining months, just receive people. These were obviously the tasks of the workshop directors at Manda's level.
Finding Tang Dou is obviously more than that.
But it's enough to use this to open up the conversation.
"I see! Come on, bring the formation map data of the Rune Array, and call the Manda manager! Tang Dou asked someone to bring the rune array information that Sha Yunyue had helped him sort out before, and asked Manda to come over.
"Two of you, the formation diagram of the Wasteland Rune Array is here. The information in it is quite detailed, as long as the Alliance has talents who understand the basics of the rune array, there will be no problems. If there is really none, our workshop can also send technicians to install it. Of course. In order to let the people below have something to eat, this is for a fee! ”
"As for the land lease, it's not my responsibility, it's all arranged by the Manda supervisor of our workshop, you just have to talk to her!"
Tang Dou spread his hands. Pushed myself to the ground.
Anyway, he's not in a hurry!
An Ling pursed his lips, looked at the information at hand helplessly, and then talked to Manda about renting land. Unlike the seven major forces, small and medium-sized forces generally do not have a large area of land to plant, if they don't come to Tang Dou to rent land, then even if they get the Wasteland Rune Array, they won't be able to play much role.
As for the development by yourself, the territory around the city is basically occupied by the big forces, and the ones that are not occupied are too far away from the city, and the safety is not guaranteed. Therefore, Tang Dou's rented out site is the most suitable.
Of course, they can also find the Seven Forces to rent, and it won't be long before the Seven Forces will start renting land like the Workshop. But first, the White Tower Alliance wants to grab time, and second, in terms of this, the reputation of the workshop is much better than that of the other seven forces.
Up to now, the conflicts with Tang Dou are all the big forces of all parties, and the small and medium-sized forces do not have any direct conflict with Tang Dou, and what Tang Dou does will also give people a feeling that he is quite protective of the weak forces. Therefore, the White Tower Alliance naturally came to the door.
But they still underestimated Tang Dou's undisciplinedness. Although this slut will not embarrass these small and medium-sized forces as much as he embarrass the big forces, it is impossible for him to give away the benefits with all his heart.
This is true of people's hearts. The easier it is to get something, the less it is valued. Tang Dou didn't want to use the small and medium-sized forces to fight the big forces, but he didn't like both sides.
An Ling and Manda sat aside to discuss, but fortunately, there was also a Taishi Lu, after he made eye contact with An Ling. Finally saluted Tang Dou slightly, and said, "Your Excellency Nicholas, I think our White Tower Alliance and the Workshop should have more in-depth cooperation!" ”
"Really? Tell me about it! Tang Dou asked with a smile.
The White Tower Alliance will send these two people, naturally they are both people who can speak well, and Tai Shilu's eloquence seems to be even better than An Ling: "Your Excellency has been working hard for the self-improvement of ordinary people and disadvantaged groups in the city. With such a mind, Tai Shilu is deeply admired. Although your Excellency has no intention, what you do will inevitably arouse the suspicion of several major forces, and you think you know very well in your heart! ”
Tang Dou pretended to be distressed: "Yes, I originally just wanted to help the poor people and give them a place to live, but now it seems that even if it is just such a small benefit, those people will not let go!" ”
Tai Shilu complained in his heart: "Small interests? The benefits created by the workshop are enough to make anyone blush! But his face showed the same look as Tang Dou: "The insatiable greed of the big forces is like this, there is no way to do it." However, although it is impossible to make the great forces no longer suspicious of your actions, it is not impossible to stop them from hindering! ”
"What is the master of the Taishi Sect?" Tang Dou's eyes lit up.
"It's easy to say, Your Excellency only needs to unite the majority, suppress the minority, divide the interests equally, everyone has a share, and let Your Excellency's affairs become the affairs of the whole city!" Tai Shilu obviously had already typed the draft before he came, and as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment, it was endless.
"Actually, what Your Excellency did before was not wrong, uniting the Thousand Machine Gate, the Fengxian Gate, and the Quicksand Gate, but it was not enough. Of course, this is not your concern. But with your status, there will inevitably be a mistaking! ”
"Where are you worried?" Tang Dou actually knew what the other party was going to say, but he was still very cooperative and put on a puzzled look.
"The majority of Kinunu City is not actually the eight gangs in the past, and the seven major forces now, but small and medium-sized forces and free people. For the seven major forces, the small and medium-sized forces are indeed not in their eyes, but when all the small and medium-sized forces are united, they also have to back down! Tai Shilu began to pull the topic to his purpose little by little.
"I also understand what the Taishi Sect Master said, but how easy is it to unite all the small and medium-sized forces together?" Tang Dou smiled bitterly.
"It's not easy, but it's not hard. The key is whether there is enough interest! Tai Shilu smiled confidently.
"Tell me about it!"
"Take the Desolation Rune Array as an example, Your Excellency is compassionate and does not want to see starvation all over the wilderness, sacrificing his own interests to come up with such a magical rune array, it can indeed solve the food problem to a large extent, but this Desolation Rune Array has a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming!"
"The downside? I understand that the energy consumption has been improved many times, and although it has dropped several times, it is still not small! If it weren't for Martha's storm, such an exchange would have lost blood! ”
"Exactly. And it's not all. As Your Excellency said, the Rune Array can only play a role in the here and now, and everyone understands this. Relative to starving to death with a bunch of inedible energy crystals, it is better to replace all of these with food to live, this choice everyone knows how to choose. But not everyone can choose this way! ”
Tai Shi Lu picked up the scroll on the table that recorded the rune array of the wasteland: "Your Excellency is the material of the heavens, whether it is martial arts or runes, it is just ordinary for you. But for many people, just understanding this wilderness rune array is not easy! He smiled bitterly at himself: "To be honest, I've been studying runes for a while, but to be honest, if I hadn't seen the instructions on this array, I wouldn't have been able to understand it!" ”
Of course, it is impossible to understand it at a glance, unless it is a grandmaster-level figure like Master Lu of Tianshufang, otherwise it is impossible to understand Chinese characters at a glance.
Even with the detailed annotations given by Tang Dou, people who don't have enough rune talent can only draw gourds in the same way, knowing it but not knowing why.
In fact, Tang Dou did not have any secrets in the annotations, but after all, it was another system, how could it be so easy to understand?
"So, what does the Taishi Sect Master mean?" Tang Dou knocked on the armrest and asked with a smile.
"Actually, the idea below is also borrowed from Your Excellency's idea, and I think that instead of announcing the Rune Array of Wasteland to everyone and giving the leased land to everyone, it is better to gather together and contract it out in a representative way!" (To be continued.) )
