Chapter 274: Talking

The content of this meeting was quite acceptable to the twelve players present.

Whether it is the super guild uniting to deal with the story mission, or the logistics plan proposed by Lu Shuang, it will play an important role in promoting the development of them and the entire Chinese players.

The second topic was related to cooperation, but it was not discussed in a very harmonious manner as the first, on the contrary, there were even-for-tat voices on the scene.

The reason is related to the land grabbing, and all the player power leaders present accept a point of view, that is, before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing in 189 AD and the princes competed for hegemony, these twelve player forces should try to avoid disputes between them, at least avoid direct battles. Because the war between super guilds is not as simple as a crowd fight in a few villages, but a full-scale battle between players in one region and players in another place, and before they have unanimously confronted the hegemony of the imperial court, their own people will fight, which will inevitably have a very serious negative impact on the development of China.

Therefore, the best way is to delineate a sphere of influence, and everyone will play their own role in this sphere of influence before the princes compete for hegemony. It doesn't matter if it's a fight with a first-class guild or an NPC, as long as it's not a hot war between super guilds.

But the problem is also here: everyone wants to demarcate a larger sphere of influence, and they all want to include strategic points, and although all the people at the meeting are civilized, they still fight for each other on the premise of their own interests.

Of course, some super guilds are located in states that are on the border, and they can draw any sphere of influence they want, as long as they don't go too far, they go to other states. Like the Extremely Evil Heaven in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, the Temple of the God of War in Yuyang, Youzhou, and the Daoxiang Guild in Hanyang, Liangzhou, are all relatively biased, as long as they don't divide their spheres of influence too much, other guilds are not very opposed.

The three guilds like the Dark Moon Guild, the Yonghui Guild, and the Frozen Throne are located in Yanzhou Chenliu, Jizhou Wei County, and Qingzhou Beihai, respectively, which are probably the real-world Henan Province, Hebei Province, and Shandong Province. From a geographical point of view, only Chen Liu and Wei County are closer, but the development focus of the Dark Moon Guild and the Yonghui Guild is in their own states, and there are not many conflicts. And the Frozen Throne in the North Sea of Qingzhou is at most only a little bit of the northern part of Langya County in Xuzhou in the south.

The real quarrel is more powerful is Lu Shuang and Di Tian, these two players happen to be in Guangling and Pengcheng in Xuzhou. Flying City is in the southwest of Xuzhou, and the Seraphic Angel Guild is in the west of Xuzhou. From geopolitics. Administeredly, Xuzhou is located on the North China Plain and is almost unsafe, while Tiancheng is located at the easternmost estuary of the Yangtze River, and needs to establish a buffer zone in the west, preferably Xiapi County in Xuzhou and Jiujiang County in Yangzhou. The Seraphic Guild is just the opposite, Emperor Tian chose Pengcheng as the guild's base camp at the beginning, just to put Xuzhou into the sphere of influence, and it needs to develop eastward.

To sum up, Feitian City and the Seraphic Angel Guild are located in the southeast and west of Xuzhou respectively, and the middle of the county where they are located is just separated by a Xiapi County, and the competing interests of the two parties make Xiapi like a powder keg and the biggest contradiction. In contrast, Yangzhou Jiujiang County is not so important, and it is not even mentioned much.

Another key point is that if Lu Shuang controls Guangling County and Xiapi County, then it is equivalent to controlling half of Xuzhou. If Jiujiang County is controlled at the same time, the path of the Seraphic Guild's expansion to the south will be completely blocked, and if it develops to Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the north, it will conflict with the Dark Moon Guild and the Frozen Throne, and if it develops to Yuzhou in the west, it will be attacked from the back. This is also what Emperor Tian does not want to see.

In the end, after the coordination and coordination of others, Lu Shuang and Di Tian finally reached a preliminary agreement: to divide the sphere of influence from Pi to Feitian City, and to divide Pei and Lu in Yuzhou and part of Donghai County in Xuzhou to the Seraphic Guild.

The division of these spheres of influence is not a tacit acquiescence to the control of the super guilds over these regions, but adheres to the principle of peaceful development, and tries to narrow down the scope of development before the princes' hegemony begins, rather than waging war against other super guilds outside the range. When the princes' struggle for hegemony opens, and enters the period of princes' separation, whoever has the biggest fist will belong to whomever it is.

......

"Lord, how was this meeting going?" Wang Nie asked beside him.

"It's okay in general, in short, there are a few more ways to make money, and try to avoid some conflicts." Lu Shuang is still quite satisfied with the consensus reached at this meeting, although he doesn't know whether someone will abide by it, but he will teach a small lesson to those who don't comply.

"By the way, did anyone come looking for me this morning?"

"Your prediction is too accurate, two people from the court came to the door this morning, but at that time, you were in a meeting, so I sent them away. Judging by their appearance, it should be that the imperial court wants to parachute a few officials to Yizhou so that they can monitor the lord. Wang Nie said with a smile.

"Oh? I'm curious how you sent them away, and it stands to reason that they wouldn't give up so easily. Lu Shuang wondered.

"It's also the lord's teaching, and he explained it to me in advance last night. They came to me this morning and said that they wanted us to go back to Feitian City and take them with them, and then go to Yizhou with the lord. Then I said that the ship we sent to Yizhou sank before, and now we can't go to Yizhou, mainly relying on the ideas between the lord and other strangers to communicate, if they want to go to Yizhou, they will find the ship themselves. In the end they left without saying a word, but their faces looked like flies. Wang Nie said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's okay." Lu Shuang smiled.

Good guys, this group of people in the imperial court not only want to prostitute a Yizhou for nothing, but also want me to listen to your words and be managed by you. Since your court wants to send someone to Yizhou, that's fine, your court will send someone by itself, and I won't accompany you, so you can't let me swim over with you on your back, right?

"By the way, Wang Nie, I'll take two people to the ultimate grocery store in Luoyang later, you can pack your luggage, if anyone else comes to me, then let them wait here in Xiangmanlou." Lu Shuang is going to the ultimate grocery store to buy some manufacturing blueprints.

"Yes, my lord." Wang Nie nodded.

Coming to the ultimate grocery store in Luoyang again, Lu Shuang has been to this ultimate grocery store several times, and he can be regarded as an old customer. Lu Shuang spent 10,000 gold here for the first time, and got the status of a senior member, and he can enjoy a ninety-fifty discount when he buys things here. Of course, Lu Shuang didn't care about this small discount, what he valued more was that as a senior member, he could buy gold-quality production drawings.

In order to meet the development of the territory and the growing demand for production capacity in the future, Lu Shuang purchased two architectural drawings of the naval barracks, three architectural drawings of the ultimate tailor's shop, five architectural drawings of the ultimate dock and the ultimate barracks, and eight architectural drawings of the ultimate blacksmith shop and the ultimate carpenter's workshop each, which alone cost Lu Shuang 33,000 gold.

This is also a pitfall of the system, the king-level life class can play the maximum efficiency of the ultimate building, but it cannot build the corresponding building. For example, under the auspices of a king-level blacksmith, the maximum efficiency of the ultimate blacksmith can be brought into play, but the king-level blacksmith himself can only build a super-grade ultimate blacksmith at most, and an emperor-level blacksmith is required to build his own ultimate blacksmith shop in the territory.

This is very cheating, when your territory finally cultivated a king-level blacksmith and wanted to create full-body armor for the eighth-order soldiers, you found that the king-level blacksmith could only build a special blacksmith shop, and the fifth-level equipment required by the eighth-order soldiers needed the ultimate blacksmith shop to produce, so you could only spend a thousand gold to buy an ultimate blacksmith shop architectural drawing.

In addition, in order to meet the demand for transport ships for transportation purposes, Lu Shuang spent 2,000 gold to buy a blueprint for the production of a gold-class transport ship, but fortunately, few people would think of developing a transport ship, otherwise a gold-class production drawing would not be so cheap. This kind of transport ship is mainly used to transport goods, although the modification can also transport people, but it is not very suitable. Looking at the introduction of the production drawings, this kind of gold-class transport ship can transport thousands of tons of goods at a time, if it weren't for the fact that this is in the game, Lu Shuang is a little suspicious, the ship of the Eastern Han Dynasty can only transport such heavy things?

Although it was heartbreaking to spend money, Lu Shuang still reluctantly spent 5,000 gold to buy a blueprint for the production of a gold-level building ship. The eight-storey building is equipped with a variety of weapon modules, allowing the shipbuilder to swap out different weapons according to his needs, such as bed crossbows and fixed catapults. Without considering supplies, it can carry 5,000 soldiers at a time for a month, and can sail on the sea without fear of ordinary typhoons.

This kind of building ship is placed in the game, which is almost at the aircraft carrier level, and can walk sideways on the sea. However, the more Lu Shuang looked at the introduction and specific parameters, the more he felt that this was bragging, this kind of building ship can be manufactured? In the end, Lu Shuang still chose to believe in the system, hoping that after various conditions were met, he would be able to see the real thing launched from the dock.

Lu Shuang endured the pain again, and spent 3,000 gold to buy a blueprint for the production of a gold-class battleship, a multi-functional small warship that can adapt to operations in most waters, whether it is on the sea or in the narrow part of the river. And the speed, agility, and defense are much higher than the average small warship, and as for the attack, you can install several bed crossbows on the ship instead of pulling the ballista to the ship.

In the end, Lu Shuang spent 45,000 gold in this grocery store, including some drawings for the production of weapons and equipment or practical items, these drawings are not expensive, Lu Shuang bought them when he saw which one was good, anyway, it had already cost 43,000 gold, and it was not bad.

Counting the red envelopes given to Emperor Han Ling, Lu Shuang's pocket was less than 55,000 gold in the last few days, which was converted into RMB and 550 million. However, this is not a big hemorrhage for Lu Shuang, you must know that after the game is updated, Feitian City has a financial surplus of 100,000 gold a month. After such a long period of development, the financial income of Feitian City will only be higher than before, and this profit rate is so high that the capitalists are red when they see it.

In addition, Lu Shuang made a fortune in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and after winning the war, the money and goods of the Yellow Turban Army belonged to him, after all, no matter how poor Zhang Jiao and Bu Si were, they also had some money, which added up to an income of 20,000 gold.
