After using the promotion card, Liu Miao took a detailed look at his attributes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Traits: [Firm] [Courageous] [Hypocritical]

Evaluation: Third-rate talent, can be a qualified low-level official. 】

It's not easy, but I finally let the system change the evaluation, and it's no longer a scumbag.

The general promotion card is so easy to use, Liu Miao couldn't help but think greedily, as long as he can kill a few more first-class generals, he can improve his attributes to more than ninety, right?

But he also knows that this is unlikely, not to mention where to find so many first-class generals to kill, even if he encounters it, he is reluctant to do it, and it is actually not cost-effective for a first-class general to exchange two promotion cards.

Liu Miao looked at the rest of the general's promotion cards, as well as 2 C-level forces, 3 D-level forces, 2 D-level dominants, and 1 D-level intelligence.

Liu Miao couldn't help but shake his head, he found that the biggest chance of getting the general's promotion card was still C-level and D-level, and the chance of getting B-level was much smaller. But these C-level and D-level cards are not very useful, you have to add points to those generals under you, only A-level or even S-level are useful, do you have to wait for more collection and then change to more advanced cards?

5 low-level cards can be exchanged for a higher-level one, Liu Miao calculated, it takes 125 D-level cards to exchange for an A-level one, and 625 D-level cards to exchange for an S-level one, so how long does it take to get a high-level one?

Thinking about it like this, Liu Miao instantly felt that this promotion card was also very weak.

"Master, the biggest benefit of the general's promotion card is not for super talents!" At this time, Bobo may have sensed Liu Miao's troubles, and suddenly reminded him in a friendly manner.

"Who is that for?" Liu Miao asked angrily.

"The master can be used by grassroots generals or officials, although the top talents play a huge role, but more are those grassroots generals and officials."

Oh, yes! Liu Miao's eyes lit up, he had been thinking about how many cattle to recruit, but he ignored the importance of grassroots talents. For example, for an army, middle and low-level generals are the most backbone part, the real cornerstone of the army, if they can improve their ability, not only can improve the overall combat power of the army, but also improve their loyalty, in disguise to strengthen Liu Miao's control over the grassroots.

Thinking of this, Liu Miao asked: "Can the elite soldiers who have been transformed by the system still improve their abilities through the military general improvement card?" ”

"Yes." Bobo replied.

Liu Miao knew where to use these low-level military general promotion cards, that is, to use them for those modified elite soldiers, so that their abilities would be stronger, and maybe they would be able to transform soldiers into generals.

In order to verify, Liu Miao gathered Yanyun's eighteen horsemen. He used the system to probe their attributes one by one, and the attribute value showed that there was only one attribute value, which was "Force: 70".

Liu Miao tried to use a C-level force improvement card for Yan Yi, but it was successful, and Yan Yi's force changed from 70 to 74.

He also chose to use the D-level Domination Booster Card on Yan Yi, but the result was that "this carrier does not meet the conditions, and the use of the Commander Booster Card failed".

Liu Miao didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask again: "Bobo, except for the force enhancement card, can't other types of promotion cards be used by these elite soldiers?" ”

"In addition to the armed forces, the three items of command, intelligence, and politics of ordinary soldiers are usually negligible, so the system does not display them. However, when the system is modified, there is a certain chance that there will be creeps with generals' templates, and these soldiers will usually become grassroots generals by default, and other types of promotion cards will only have an effect on these soldiers. ”

As soon as Bobo explained, Liu Miao became clear, it seems that this group of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry are all soldiers without a general's template, that is, they have no ability to command troops and cannot be used as a general. It seems that after the soldiers are reformed in the future, it is best to probe them all over the place, find out the soldiers with the potential of generals, and focus on cultivating them.

Through this incident, Liu Miao also understood that there are still many mysteries of the system that he needs to explore, and only when he understands them all can he maximize the function of the system.

Liu Miao continued to study the system in this way, until the military advisor Liu Ji asked to see him.

Liu Ji's return means that the aftermath of the Lei family is almost done. Liu Miao was also very concerned about what he could get from the Lei family, so he immediately welcomed Liu Ji in.

The news that Liu Ji brought back shocked Liu Miao.

"From the Lei Manor, about 200,000 stones of grain, tens of millions of money, and countless other goods were found."

"The account books found from the Lei family show that there are nearly 5,000 people of all kinds who are dependent on the Lei family, and the Lei family holds nearly 70,000 acres of land with land deeds, and those without land deeds are not yet known."

"Rat, rat!" Liu Miao couldn't help but slap the table case angrily.

A Lei family has stored 200,000 stone of grain alone, and the Taishou Mansion Treasury is less than 1,000 stone, what is the concept of 200,000 stone of grain? If Liu Miao raises 10,000 soldiers, these grains can be used to feed these soldiers for half a year.

The number of people and fields also made Liu Miao feel shocked, no wonder the Lei family could easily dispatch five or six hundred private soldiers. Needless to say, most of these people and fields are not recorded in the government.

"The lord doesn't have to be angry about this, the powerful landlords all pay less taxes by hiding the population and land, and it is normal for the Lei family to have so much property. I estimate that the Li family has a richer collection than the Lei family. Liu Ji said.

"yes, that's to be expected. It's hard to imagine what happens to those big tycoons across states and counties. Liu Miao sighed.

"The lord can calculate the amount of goods in the Langya Palace."

Liu Miao was stunned for a moment, speaking of which, the Langya Mansion where he was born was also a big landowner, Liu Miao couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, and said: "The Langya Mansion is indeed very rich, but it is different from these powerful people. Although there are many lords in the palace, they are all given by the imperial court, and they do not affect the income of the people and the local government, and the strong and powerful are all illegal gains, which is an important factor that causes the displacement of hundreds of people and the emptiness of the government treasury. But speaking of which, I also have to thank the Lei family, the food and property seized from the Lei family allowed us to do something. ”

"What is the Lord going to do?"

Liu Miao changed his comfortable sitting posture and said: "I have already thought about it, use the grain of the Lei family to gather the displaced people, and then sublease the fields to them, and concentrate the tuntian, which can not only increase the income of the government treasury and obtain the source of soldiers, but also harvest the hearts of the people, which is really a good way to count in one fell swoop." ”

Liu Ji nodded, "What the lord said is very reasonable. It's just that in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and now the displaced people are everywhere, if the lord releases the rumor of collecting the displaced people, it may cause the displaced people to flock to it, and even attract the displaced people from other counties, so that the little food obtained from the Lei family is not enough! At that time, the lord could not refuse the exiles to come, otherwise the lord's prestige would be greatly discredited. ”

"Nothing. It's a bit tough now, but as long as you can survive these few months, it's good to wait until the wheat is ripe. Liu Miao said, "We have to prepare for this matter now, on the one hand, we will go to other states and counties to buy grain, and on the other hand, we will find ways to borrow grain." ”

"Borrowed food?" Liu Ji was puzzled.

"That's right, it's to borrow grain, didn't you say that the Li family is richer than the Lei family? There were many other powerful landowners in the county, so I asked them to borrow grain. The matter of collecting the displaced people's fields must be carried out immediately, this is related to our development plan, and time waits for no one! Liu Miao sighed, but he knew that the situation of competing for hegemony had arrived, and if he wanted to achieve great things, population and food were the top priorities.

Liu Ji could more or less guess Liu Miao's worries, so he did not object.

"Berwyn, you'll tell everyone later, come and meet me at my place. From today onwards, everyone will be busy, and we will no longer be bound by the powerful clans! ”
