Chapter 3: The Diplomatic System Starts
In recent years, Fang Yun's rule can be said to have developed very well.
Due to the prosperity of industry and commerce, all the states and counties under their rule can see the booming trade boom. For this reason, the local government has the ability to build railways in the local area after informing the superiors.
These railways were actually used by horses galloping, but the use of rails did increase the speed of horses. It is only necessary to set up a place to change horses a hundred miles away, and theoretically it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles in a day and 800 miles in a night.
It is rare that each carriage can carry nearly a ton of supplies, or ten passengers. Caravans relied on the railroad to get to their destinations quickly, then quickly trade their goods, and then return to their places with lucrative goods to sell, making a lot of money back and forth. As for the consumption of riding a carriage, it is not worth mentioning compared to this.
Obviously, many businessmen also realized the economic value of the railway and thought of investing in the construction of it.
This matter was reported to Fang Yun's side, and with a wave of his hand, he announced that he could bid for several lines that were not very important. As long as the cost is appropriate and the quality is passed, then it is natural to build a railway as a joint venture or sole proprietorship. The one who built it had the right to use the railway for 20 years.
Don't think it's less, you must know that a railroad makes more money in twenty years than an ordinary highway in fifty years. There is no limit of ten years, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous. This thing, at most, will be about ten years old.
And the point is that the construction of the railway also directly increases the transportation speed of these chambers of commerce, and the benefits earned for them in this regard are also very huge. It is not said that the profits made from investing in railways have been repaid in about five years.
Extensive construction of railways. This is also the main reason why the average business value reaches 799 points. Actually, strictly speaking. In a few areas, the commercial value even reached more than 900 points. There will be an average of 799 points. In the end, it was Sizhou who dragged his feet.
Whether it is agriculture or commerce, Sizhou has been damaged too badly by the White Wave Army, and it is not agreed to recover. And this also makes Sizhou directly drag down the national agricultural average, as well as the commercial average. Otherwise, Fang Yun would have completed the task given by the system a long time ago.
Fortunately, in the last month, a lot of people have come to the territory. After some transfer arrangements. Among these people, the Xiongnu and the Han were arranged to live in Sizhou. Coupled with some big families who migrated there, Sizhou's popularity has recovered a lot.
If it was before, the land in this area of Sizhou was not cheap, after all, it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven. However, if the son is driving in Jinyang today, the price of land in Taiyuan County has increased significantly, and many families from other places want to buy land and build a village here.
This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and any news is also the first place to come out. In ancient times, the speed of messaging was slow, and sometimes it was quicker to grasp the changes in news and policies. You'll have more time to respond and prepare. The family is not stupid, so naturally they will not miss the opportunity to settle here.
Not to mention that the building here is getting more and more beautiful. Three-story buildings can be seen everywhere here, and the city wall has also been increased to more than 30 meters, in terms of the thickness and height of the city wall, it is almost close to Luoyang or Chang'an.
Inside the city, the roads are wide and smooth, and a large number of green crops are planted. People walk on the sidelines, in an orderly manner on the right and left. There are no stalls on either side of the street, and there are no people spitting or defecating, and if you are caught, you will be fined. Public facilities are everywhere, whether it's public toilets or parks, it's not uncommon to find them here.
Sizhou's side is actually not bad, maybe it is the news that has come out recently, and it is said that it will not be possible to move back to Luoyang in the future. Many families have also begun to buy real estate in Sizhou in advance, and those who can't buy a good location can not help beating their chests.
The migration of a large number of families and people has also led to the economic development of various counties in Sizhou. In order to further promote the economy of Sizhou, Fang Yun promised that those who farm in Sizhou will be exempt from tax for two years and half tax within five years; For those who do business, they are exempt from tax for one year and half tax for three years. In response to this, many chambers of commerce have opened branches in Sizhou.
Not only the Fang Yun family's Chamber of Commerce, but even Liu Wei's Royal Chamber of Commerce also set up a point there to do business.
In a short time, the average business value increased to 800 points, and it is still improving. In this way, both military and commercial tasks have been completed, with a focus on agriculture.
Originally, everyone knew that business made money, but since the Han Dynasty, the status of businessmen was not high, so there were always some old-fashioned families who felt that doing business had tarnished their reputation. Besides, now that Fang Yun is here, the status of the businessman may improve, but who knows if it will change back to the original in the future?
For the sake of insurance, there are still many families who actively contract land, and it is only right to develop agriculture.
Fortunately, the so-called new agricultural concept has recently become popular, and there was not enough to eat before, so most of the land was used to grow corn. Later, flour and fermentation were introduced, so much so that wheat became so popular that it was planted almost everywhere in the north.
Later, with the addition of three high-yield crops, white potato, potato and corn, the people could basically eat and wear. In this case, some cash crops have naturally become popular.
For example, peanuts, this thing can be squeezed for oil, even if you don't have money to buy meat to eat, it's not bad to stir-fry with some oil and water; The key is that there is more meat now, a large number of farms can be seen everywhere, and a lot of meat is sold every day, so that many dignitaries and nobles don't even want to eat meat anymore, and it is time to be vegetarian. But vegan is not tasty, and a little peanut oil is good.
For example, chili peppers, which have made chili peppers sell well in the north. What is rare is that the yield is not bad, and it is used for seasoning, and I am used to eating without this thing, and the food is light and tasteless.
As for other vegetables, they occupy an increasing proportion in agriculture. Fortunately, the state has always emphasized balance, and the ratio of wheat to various food crops has not decreased, so that the rule will not have problems in food because of the large-scale cultivation economy.
Fang Yun attaches great importance to the agricultural situation in Sizhou, and there is no way not to pay attention to it. And the upper part is better and the lower is effective, which also makes today's Sizhou assassin Yang Biao. Attention had to be paid to the development of agriculture and commerce.
He is approaching retirement age. His son Yang Xiu has also come out. Under him, he served as a prefectural magistrate. Other clansmen, there are also many scholars, Hongnong Yang's heritage is not simple, at least seventy percent of the clansmen are officials, and a few are still in college. It can be expected that in the future court, the Hongnong Yang family will definitely occupy a large proportion.
But at this stage, Hongnong Yang's family turned to Fang Yun because it was relatively backward. Therefore, their current highest official position is Yang Biao, the Sizhou assassin. It's just that everyone can see that Yang Biao actually worked in this office for three years and then retired.
So while he has not yet retired, he uses his power to help several of his clansmen and promote them or something, which is also the responsibility that Yang Biao, as a contemporary patriarch, should bear.
To this end, he even mobilized the family's resources. A series of investment promotion. and under the construction of bridges and paving roads, Yang Xiu and even several other clansmen have earned a lot of political achievements. It is not surprising that the performance evaluation has been 'excellent' within three years.
As for three years later, they can only be allowed to climb up as hard as possible, and by that time, Yang Biao has already retired, and he may be able to dispatch in the middle, but there is no way to promote them again.
To say that there is no opinion in my heart at all is absolutely false. However, the retirement age set by Fang Yun is so old, unlike the big man, he can even beg for bones after the age of seventy or eighty. Not to mention Yang Biao, many people who are ready to retire at an age actually have complaints in their hearts: the retirement time is too short and should be appropriately extended!
In any case, agriculture has gone up, from 680 points at the beginning, to 750 points in just two months. This also made Fang Yun finally complete the task.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest - Rich Country and Strong Soldiers, winning 2 gold-level draws, and +5 points for domination and intelligence attributes."
"The main quest is being updated, please wait!"
"Main quest - long-distance close attack, mission introduction: After investigation, Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Xuan and Shi Xie are currently in a neutral state and will not pose a threat to the host. But if it is left unattended for a long time, it is difficult to say whether it will be thrown into the arms of the enemy; Requirements: Befriend these four factions and increase their friendship to 100 points to become an alliance; Rewards: Host Charisma +10 points, 1 gold draw. ”
"Unlocking the diplomacy function, the host can view the relationship between each faction and its own faction. At the same time, you can choose to spread rumors and discord with the generals to strike at the strength of the enemy army. If the emissary is gifted in 'Negotiation', it can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of discord or rumor-mongering. ”
Well, Fang Yun suddenly remembered, he had been thinking about what other functions the system would have, and now he remembered that there was actually a diplomatic function. This is also a feature of the Legend of the Heroes, players who don't like to fight, can also directly make the enemy a loner through the way of separation, and no matter what force the other party has, it will be decided directly in a battle.
Of course, for players who want to fully experience the fun of combat and continuously improve the level of generals, this trick is generally not used. And the game is a game, reality is reality, and Cao Ang and Cao Pi can be separated in the game, can reality still make them betray Cao Cao? Xiahoudun and the others are afraid that they can't do anything...... However, the following generals who have no blood relationship with Cao Cao are difficult to say!
The so-called war, in fact, has always been a combination of odd and positive. Among them, it is naturally a dignified battle to the death, but this point is a conspiracy. Discord and framing are really spreading rumors or something, but it's not a big deal.
But before that, let's finish the task first.
However, now, the lottery should be drawn first, and it seems that there are eight draws that have not been opened before, and there are ten times when you count these two times, so they are all opened all at once.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the technical drawings - the fire beast blueprint; The must-kill double charm doubles the power of one-time special move; Cash crops - 300 seedlings of holy basil, additional cultivation methods; one hundred tons of rubber; Horcrux - Thunder Thunder Green Dragon Halberd; Yuan Shao's martial spirit; Chasing the wind and white phoenix; Storm Elephant*2;Technical Drawings—Divine Kite Cannon Design; Female soldier transfer order. ”
The result is not bad, but it is worthy of a gold-level lottery. In fact, as the number of tasks increased and the number of gold lottery draws increased, Fang Yun seemed to have begun to become numb. Originally, the bronze lottery was very happy, but now I always feel that the gold level can no longer satisfy me...... (To be continued......)
PS: The new feature is unblocked, and there is one more option for the means of dominating the world.
So the question is, whether to take the route of discord, or take the traditional route of hegemony, or the combination of the two, you can vote freely! I respect your choice!
