Chapter 185: Borrowing
Hearing that Heifeng Village was going to build a city, the entire Baiyue forces were so surprised that many people sneered.
Is it so easy to build a city?
Many forces in Baiyue do not build cities, although it is related to their nomadic life, but it is also related to the difficulty of building cities.
Which force built a city that didn't cost a lot of money and took a long time?
In Baiyue, ordinary forces can't support the establishment of a city at all!
Many Baiyue people don't know how to build a city at all!
Many of the subordinates of Heifeng Village are mostly Baiyue people, can this city really be built?
Qin Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Qin Wan to come over and tactfully remind Li Yi that Qinglongzhai had built a city in the depths of Baiyue, but because of this, he knew the stakes and didn't want to watch Li Yi fall into the pit.
If they don't say or ask, it seems that they can't wait to see Li Yi fall into the pit and watch the joke on the sidelines.
Qinglong Village and Black Wind Village are not hostile forces, and this kind of non-authentic thing cannot be done.
However, this kind of thing is not easy to remind.
After all, Qinglong Village and Black Wind Village are two forces, and they have both been founded, so he is teaching Li Yi how to develop and deal with things?
Therefore, after thinking about it, it would be better for Qin Wan to come forward.
After Qin Wan came to the place where Li Yi built the city, she was surprised, because the speed at which the Black Wind Village was built was too fast, and here, she saw something magical, something similar to muddy water, poured on the ground, it would quickly solidify, and it was very hard, which could replace glutinous rice juice and other binders.
There is also a black thing called asphalt, which can be used to pave roads.
It turned out that the "pulley group" she saw in Hulu Valley also saw a lot here, and one person could lift thousands of catties or thousands of catties.
Moreover, Li Yi's subordinates are very familiar with each other when they are doing various jobs, and there is no such thing as Baiyue people not being good at building cities.
After reading it, Qin Wan's persuasive words swallowed into her stomach.
Judging from what Li Yi did in the past, Li Yi never seemed to do things that he was not sure of, and thinking about it, Li Yi's decision to build the city was also a lot of preparations, and he had great confidence.
"So many Baiyue people gathered together, if they graze, it is too troublesome, and the surrounding water and grass can't support so many livestock, if they are idle, more things will be born, and let them build a city, but it is just ......" Li Yi said with a smile.
Qin Wan was thoughtful, and after she went back, she transferred what Li Yi said to Qin Yang and the army division as it was.
"Is there really someone who is born to know? In previous years, every time there was a major natural disaster in the Great Shang, the imperial court would use the method of cash-for-work. Every time there is a change of dynasty, it will also greatly prosper Shimu, consume labor, and stabilize people's hearts...... Li Yi Jiancheng, it seems to be doing something similar? After hearing this, Qin Yang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said.
The population of Qinglong Village was originally only more than 20,000.
In just two months, it reached more than 120,000, an increase of about 100,000 at once.
As a result, all kinds of things, noises, and conflicts arise...... It gives Qin Yang a headache every day.
Li Yi's behavior, Li Yi's words, made his eyes light up.
"It's not necessarily what he thought of, or maybe his subordinates thought of it, or his father's thought, as far as we know, his father once served as a military advisor in the Zhenbei Army for a period of time, and his ability is quite good, but no matter which one he wants, his ability to know people well is indispensable......" The military division shook his head and said.
It's not that he's belittling Li Yi, but he's saying a fact.
Knowing people well is often more powerful than their own ability.
How much does a person have the ability and how much of a role does he play?
can bring out the abilities that countless people are good at, that's called horror!
Li Yi's vision has always been very good, look at Li Yi's subordinates, all of them are very powerful, you can see it!
Those who are good at horses are Bole!
Those who are good at others are kings!
Li Yi is not only good at horses, but also good at people!
"Strategist, can we do what we do like the Great Qianguo?" Qin Yang groaned.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Li Yi, but now, he was moved by Li Yi's behavior and Li Yi's words.
It's really this time, he was a little annoyed by the things that happened to so many people under him, and he wanted to solve this matter quickly.
"No." The Great Army Division shook his head.
"The establishment of a city is a very huge project, the emperor should know this, Li Yi should have been preparing for a long time to do this, and besides, if he has any problems halfway, we Qinglong ...... country, you can also help, in case, our Qinglong Kingdom also has a problem, then it will be a big problem! The Great Military Master thought for a moment and said.
During this time, many Baiyue forces did not attack them, not because they had no ideas about them, but that Heifeng Village had just destroyed the remnants of the hundreds of thousands of Dashang's army, and in addition, the war between Dashang and Baiyue was not over, and they had a common enemy, Dashang.
Now, the war has ended, and the residual power of the Black Wind Village's defeat of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Great Merchants has begun to gradually wear out, it is difficult to say whether some of the Baiyue forces will no longer put their ideas on the Black Wind Village and them.
In particular, big business is likely to play a role.
The benefits are moving.
Between forces, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, and interests are eternal.
"However, during this period of time, the population we have gathered has produced a lot of ......," Qin Yang said with a headache.
He always flaunts himself as a martial artist!
Prefer to use force!
I really don't want to worry about these internal affairs!
He also faintly regretted in his heart, he knew that he would not gather so many people at once!
However, he also knows that some opportunities are fleeting!
This time there is an opportunity to gather a large number of people, if they don't, other times, there may not be this opportunity!
Moreover, they have gathered so many people, and their strength has also been greatly improved, and they can do many things at once, and in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!
"I have a solution...... "The Great Military Master said with a move in his heart.
"What's the solution?" Qin Yang hurriedly asked.
"I think Li Yi is very useful, it is better for us to lend some people to Li Yi, and we can also help Li Yi build a city more quickly, these people have something to do, and they will not make too much trouble, every once in a while, we take back some of the population, digest it little by little, during the period, we can also give Li Yi some food." The Great Army Division said calmly.
It's a matter of mutual benefit.
Qin Yang's eyes lit up.
It's a good idea.
So, soon, Qin Yang sent his daughter to Manniu City again.
"Borrow?"
Li Yi's heart was also moved.
I have to say that he is very short of people now.
The construction of the city is indeed not small, even if he uses some improvement methods, according to their current construction speed, counting the rest time of everyone, the entire city will be completely built, I am afraid it will take a year.
This time is actually very fast, but in Li Yi's eyes, it is still too long.
If the number of people who built the city can increase further, the rate can be accelerated again.
And, Li Yi faintly felt that these populations ...... Perhaps he could derive the power of faith from it, too? In that case, it's a double harvest! Not to mention, during this period, Qinglongzhai will also provide some food, which is a big profit!
"Good!"
Li Yi agreed.
Five days later, the first batch of people sent by Qinglongzhai arrived at the location where the city was built.
There were 30,000 people in total.
Li Yi tried it, these people, he can really get the power of faith from the other party, but because he can't be directly loyal to him, he just lets everyone visit him as the lord of another country, and he only gains about seventy percent of the power of faith.
30,000 people, on average, can obtain about 210 points of faith power per day, which is not a small gain.
After another five days, the second group of people arrived, still 30,000.
And the last batch.
Li Yi was very happy, but also very pity.
Such a population, it is better to give him as much as possible.
Unfortunately, there are none.
With the addition of 60,000 new people, the construction of the new city is much faster again.
Li Yi thought about it for a while, and once again upgraded ten thousand junior figures in various construction professions.
A sufficient number of beginners and a large number of ordinary people can build cities faster.
Otherwise, if there are too many ordinary people, they will not be able to do some professional work, and there will be no professional people to direct them, and the overall efficiency will be reduced.
For a while, the Black Wind Village was in full swing.
The official soldiers of Heifeng Village in Baiyue also reached 15,000.
Mostly cavalry.
The profession is not cavalry, and they all have good riding skills and can be used as cavalry.
At least all beginners.
Three thousand mid-level figures.
Three hundred high-ranking figures.
Thirty top personalities.
The Baiyue forces, in addition to the old and weak, women and children, almost all of them are soldiers, and even some women also have a certain combat ability, however, Li Yi knows the importance of elite soldiers and does not greatly expand the number of their general soldiers.
Look at the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary armies of the Great Shang, isn't there a huge number?
A lot of people didn't play a role at all, and they were knocked down!
It's not as good as when the Great Shang went west, only 30,000 Zhenxi troops and 1,000 Shenju battalions were dispatched, maybe they could exert more power!
The others, too, were not idle.
Those who are in other life occupations are doing the things that are in other life occupations.
Such as making armor, striking iron, cooking, weaving, making clothes...... Wait a minute!
For the rest, Li Yi unified them to open up the land!
The two hundred acres of grain planted over there in Black Wind Fort have been harvested!
Although the yield is not as good as that of the gourd valley, it also looks like about eighty percent!
This output is already very unnatural for the world!
This also proves that it is feasible to grow grain in Baiyue!
There is no shortage of cattle and horses, and Li Yi invented a plough with faster efficiency, and the speed of land reclamation is extremely fast, 10,000 people can open up 30,000 acres of land in one day.
A total of 20,000 people have opened up the wasteland, and 60,000 acres of land can be cleared in one day.
Unfortunately, there are not enough food seeds.
The 200 acres of grain that Li Yi asked people to plant in Black Wind Castle could only grow about 8,000 acres of land even if they were all used to make seeds.
For this reason, Li Yi can only let people grow crops that do not consume seeds too much, and at the same time spend the power of faith to upgrade some food seeds.
This time, Li Yi not only upgraded a large number of intermediate grain seeds, but also upgraded some high-grade seeds, and even a small number of top-grade seeds.
Regarding good grain, Li Yi never worried about being stolen by the enemy.
As long as he develops steadily, most of the world, not to mention the future, will be his.
Even if he is not stolen by the enemy and popularized privately, he will spread throughout the world in the future.
The enemy takes the initiative to do this kind of thing in advance, why not?
