Chapter 178: Ba Yi
After staying in Xiapi City for more than three hours, Lu Shuang had a little understanding of some of the more important industries, especially the luxury industry, and he had seen some NPC tycoons spend hundreds of gold to buy a jade pendant, and it was shocking to be generous.
If the luxury of jade pendant is more dependent on the place of production, then the industry that needs high-end manufacturing talents is Lu Shuang's stage, such as some beautifully made swords, all kinds of expensive animal skin clothes, etc., are all areas that Lu Shuang wants to be involved in, and they are also very violent fields. Lu Shuang planned to buy a large number of these luxury goods from the territory, or order the craftsmen under his name to produce them, and make a handful of money from the big landlords in the year before the Yellow Turban Rebellion came.
The reason why Lu Shuang went to Ba Yi late was not without reason, these officials have to deal with a lot of government affairs every day, if they go to them early, it is estimated that they will be hung there for a long time, so Lu Shuang simply went over a little later, and when he almost finished the official documents in the morning, he should have taken a little time to meet with him, which is the experience he gained from looking for Wang Zhi several times.
In fact, just as he expected, after handing over the scroll of the primary prestige mission to exterminate the White Shark Pirates, the goalkeeper told them to go in and wait for a while, and in less than half an hour, they went in to meet Bayu.
Ba Yi is relatively frugal, when Lu Shuang first saw him, he looked like an ordinary official, his clothes were not too decorated, he looked relatively thin, and he gave the impression of a clean official.
"The last general will see Lord Thorn." Lu Shuang is now a general, and he can be regarded as a person with status, but it is still much worse than the history of assassination.
"Haha, the general is exempt, come on, take a seat quickly." Seeing that it was Lu Shuang, Ba Yi greeted him very warmly to take a seat.
"I have heard that the soldiers under the command of the general uprooted the White Shark Pirate Regiment that had been entrenched in the East China Sea for a long time, and beheaded its leader, making a great contribution to the court and the people, and the merit is immeasurable." Ba Yi is straightforward and praises Lu Shuang without hesitation.
"All of this is well commanded by adults, otherwise with only the little strength of the last general, you may not even be able to catch the other party's hair, the following is a little 'heart' offered by the last general." Lu Shuang waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to come up with a box, and Ba You's guards stepped forward to open it and inspect it, and after confirming it, they nodded at Ba You.
The contents of these three boxes are naturally some of the three leaders of the White Shark Pirate Group, which are used to prove that Lu Shuang has indeed killed several leaders.
Although Ba Yi is very incorruptible, it does not mean that he will be merciful to the enemy, after learning that the leader of the White Shark Pirate Group was beheaded, there will be a huge hidden danger in the East China Sea, and his attitude towards Lu Shuang will rise, because this is also included in his political achievements, which will be of great help to his future career.
The two pulled each other down, and Lu Shuang took the opportunity to inquire whether this military function would allow him to go up from General Pi to the next level, from the lowest general title to a partial general. Ba You's answer is no, although Lu Shuang's extermination of the White Shark Pirate Regiment is a great achievement in all aspects, but if you want to go to the next level, you need a little more military merit. However, Ba Yi also said that if Lu Shuang can accomplish one or two more feats, he can generally be promoted to a partial general, and it would be better if he had a little more "relationship".
Lu Shuang understood the relationship that Ba Yi said, one of the reasons why the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty is very popular now is the official selling system, in history, as long as a certain amount of money is given or bribed to the big celebrities around the emperor, it is not a problem to be promoted to a knighthood. But there is a premise that you must be able to have connections, otherwise you can't even get in touch with the celebrities around the emperor, how can you get bribes? Although Lu Shuang is also a little rich, he will not think of investing so much money to buy officials in the early and middle stages of the game, and there will be opportunities in the future.
"Lord Thorn Shi, the last general is here this time, in addition to reporting the battle situation to you, there is another thing I want your approval of." Lu Shuang said.
"Oh? What does it take you to come over in person, do you want a reward? Ba Yi laughed.
"Lord Assassin Shi laughed, exterminating pirates and maintaining the safety of the world is the job of the last general, or it is something that every Han citizen will do, and he doesn't dare to ask for any reward." Lu Shuang continued to say some polite words, and said: "However, every pirate of the White Shark Pirate Regiment is very vicious, and there are more than 400,000 people and 100 warships, and it took a lot of effort for the last general to annihilate them in the sea area, losing tens of thousands of elite soldiers and warships. The last general does not ask for compensation, but hopes to continue to contribute to the Han army, but the lost group of soldiers is estimated to take a year or two to recover at the current training speed of the military camp, so the last general hopes that Lord Assassin Shi can solve this problem for the sake of the coastal residents and the fallen soldiers. ”
"You mean, you want to apply for a second barracks?" Lu Shuang went around in a big circle, but Ba Yi still guessed his thoughts accurately.
Lu Shuang didn't respond, but his smiling eyes had betrayed him, and after seeing Lu Shuang's acquiescence, Ba Yi pondered and said: "Regarding the construction of a second military camp in the city, it has always been a secret of our aborigines, and it is stipulated that it cannot be told to you strangers too early, how did you learn this news?" ”
Lord Thorn Shi laughed, to tell the truth, in fact, no one told me this news, but every time the general went to an important small city or a heavy city, he would pay attention to observe, and the two military camps were not built in very secret places, and the more you went, you would notice it. And there is also an ultimate military camp in my territory, if there are two ultimate military camps in the same city, it is much more convenient to train troops or garrison troops, I don't know if Lord Thorn Shi can call the shots? Lu Shuang didn't expect that the second military camp involved some secrets, thinking that he just had to apply to the local magistrate's office, he just hoped to station more soldiers in a city, and it would be convenient for military training, so he came here today with the attitude of giving it a try.
However, there are no important secrets involved in building a second barracks, but the court doesn't want players to know about this hidden setting so early, and it does have to be approved by the assassin to build it. The role of the dual military camps that Lu Shuang currently knows is only a very superficial garrison and training, after all, the construction area of the ultimate military camp is limited, and hundreds of thousands or even more soldiers have to move to the military camps of other settlements. It's okay if you don't move away, but the training space of the ultimate military camp is limited, and only a small part of the soldiers can enjoy the right to use the training ground, and there are so many legions in Feitian City, so it must be wet with rain and dew.
"The matter of the double military camp, it is not big, but it is not small, if you just come for this matter, this official can also help you, but there is nothing else." The implication of Ba Yi is that the official can only fulfill your request as a reward, and if you want anything else, you must withdraw this reward requirement.
"Uh... Then Lord Thorn Shi, if the last general only wants two military camps, will the extermination of the White Shark Pirate Regiment not be counted in my military merits? Lu Shuang wanted to ask Chu before making a decision, if it didn't work, he would lose a little.
"It's definitely counted, and the official is just a little bit of light, how to report it or how to report it, the general doesn't have to worry." Ba Yu affirmed.
"Then I'm going to thank Lord Thorn Shi." Lu Shuang got up and said.
"Okay, then without further ado, which city does the general want to build a second barracks? I'll settle it for you now. Ba Yi picked up the pen on the table and prepared to proof.
Which city? Is there only one city?
"The two cities of the last general, Flying City and King Kong City." Lu Shuang pretended to be stupid and pretended not to understand Ba You's words.
"That's it, I see that you have completed a major event for the Guangling County Government, so I will promise you." After speaking, Ba Yi wrote two scrolls, picked up his official seals and stamped them separately, handed them to the guards and handed them to Lu Shuang.
Lu Shuang didn't expect it to be completed so quickly, this was the life of twenty or thirty thousand soldiers in exchange, just two scrolls in his hand. However, after Lu Shuang got the proof, he felt that it should be worth the money, otherwise the system would not hide this setting in the early stage, and it was a proof that a big man like Assassin Shi could give it, so it was not important to say.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, it was close to noon, and Thorn Shi Ba was also going to get off work to rest, so Lu Shuang took a few of his subordinates to leave.
The building in "The Real World" is a bit similar to the setting of the profession, it must be recognized by the system before it can work, take the military camp as an example, just build a camp can also be called a military camp, but compared with the military camp built through formal channels, the privately built military camp only retains some of the most basic residential functions, and the generals, soldiers' transfer and training functions are useless, which is why the second military camp can only be built with proof from history.
And the system is very lewd is that the assassin only gave a certificate to allow the territory to build a double military camp, but whether the second military camp can be built is another matter, fortunately, Lu Shuang has 6 emperor-level generals under him, and he can afford to build the ultimate military camp, and Lu Shuang no longer has to spend money on architectural drawings.
"Lord, shall we go back now?" Swordsman Wang Nie asked.
"No, we'll go to the other cities after dinner." Lu Shuang knows the truth of shopping around, it is impossible to decide to do business here after learning about it in Xiapi, Xuzhou is an agricultural state after all, and the price of grain may not be too expensive, but it may not be necessary in other places, and even grain will be ridiculously expensive.
Lu Shuang and the others rested in an inn for a while, because players need to wait for six hours to go online after the game is updated, so Lu Shuang, like many players, has purchased nutritional elixirs, a nutritional elixir can maintain the nutrients and energy consumption required by people for a day, even if they don't eat, it will not have any impact on the body, but the price will be slightly more expensive, hundreds of RMB.
With half a day left, Lu Shuang came to several system cities in different regions and compared the differences between them. For example, Xuzhou is rich in grain, and the price of grain will not be very high, but iron products will be more expensive, and Lu Shuang can choose to sell high-quality iron products in Xuzhou; In Panzhihua, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, because of the abundance of iron ore and good quality, the high quality of the weapons produced is a major advantage for them, but the terrain is uneven, and the grain production is not much, so Lu Shuang can let the caravan transport grain to these areas for sale, and then buy local iron ore; The same is true in the Xiliang region, which is relatively short of food and iron tools, but has a large number of high-quality war horses, but the distance is relatively long, and the time, cost and risk of a caravan trip are very large.
The level of the Chamber of Commerce is divided into one to ten levels, and the tax incentives that can be enjoyed by each level have been greatly improved, and the higher the level, the more types of goods that the Chamber of Commerce can trade, and the better the attitude of the local NPCs towards the territory to which the Chamber of Commerce belongs, and each level increases the caravan movement speed by 10%, which is a great bonus for caravans that often need long-distance transportation.
Like the Xuzhou Mi family, such a big businessman, it is said that they have assets of more than 100 million yuan, nearly 10,000 diners, their Mi family's business can be said to be very large, the higher the level of the chamber of commerce, and even some items controlled by the government such as salt can be operated, which is a very lucrative industry.
At present, the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce in Flying Sky City is a third-level chamber of commerce, which can enjoy a 30% movement speed bonus, a transaction discount of 5,000 gold, and allows the sale of no more than third-level equipment, that is, equipment that can be used by sixth-order soldiers, but items like salt still can't be handled.
In addition to selling goods to the outside world, the Chamber of Commerce can also have transactions with the local Chamber of Commerce, Lu Shuang completed the primary prestige task of exterminating the White Shark Pirate Group, and there was no substantial reward from the system, but one thing was to increase the favorability of all non-hostile forces Chamber of Commerce, which was equivalent to having more connections in plain white, especially the Chamber of Commerce in the coastal areas of the East China Sea, when Han Kang transported goods to other coastal areas by sea for trading, he could feel the enthusiasm of the local Chamber of Commerce, which gave him face, which was incomparable to the substantive reward.
Now that the largest pirate group entrenched in the East China Sea has been exterminated, Zhou Bai and others continue to go north after the winter to clean up the pirates in that area, and now it is close to the area of the Shandong Peninsula in the real world. Although it is impossible for all pirates to be cleaned up, after all, the system will refresh new pirates, but Zhou Bai can send a navy to patrol the coastal waters, and as soon as a new pirate appears, he will be immediately eliminated to ensure the safety and smoothness of the waterway, so after the game is updated, the three generals of Tiefan Town are too late to go to Feitian City to see Lu Shuang, they are leading the fleet on an expedition.
Back in the territory, Lu Shuang handed over the two scrolls to Li Fei and Huang Shi respectively, and asked them to build a second military camp immediately the next day, and at the same time transferred the Blood Wolf Legion with the two leaders of Yu Wenchao and Chen Lang to King Kong City.
Zhou Cang was transferred to the Iron Rope City closest to King Kong City, and he was in charge of the ultimate military camp of Iron Rope City, while the Spirit Fox Legion, the Heavenly Absolute Legion and the Shenxing Legion stayed in the Flying Sky City, which was about to have dual military camps, Zang Ba's Steel Thorn Legion stayed in the Fog Shadow City, and the three cavalry legions had a field training ground, between Flying Sky City and King Kong City.
Lu Shuang's transfer was considered in many aspects, first of all, King Kong City was building a second-level city wall, although tens of thousands of sappers and stonemasons were sent over, but it was not possible to build it for a while. In order to prevent a few forces in Hailing County from coming over to make trouble, the Blood Wolf Legion, which had the largest number of legions and two emperor-level generals, was sent over, plus the original defenders of King Kong City and the king-level military general Li Fei, no one came and went. Moreover, the countercurrent army led by Zhou Cang was stationed in Tiesuo City, and he could also come to support as soon as possible, and when the second-level wall of King Kong City was built, it would be the day when he was armed to the teeth.
As for Wang He's Spirit Fox Legion, Wang Yue's Shenxing Legion and the Heavenly Absolute Legion, the number of Spirit Fox Legions is the same as Zhou Cang's Countercurrent Legion, but the former is relatively light and flexible, and the latter is mainly defensive troops such as heavy shield soldiers. Putting these three legions together is to improve their coordination ability, and by the way, it can also allow Wang He to help deal with some military affairs when Lu Shuang is not in the territory. As for letting Zang Ba have a single legion stationed in Fog Shadow City, he wanted him to build an ultimate military camp in Fog Shadow City without wasting the resources of every emperor-level general.
At this point, the preliminary military deployment of the entire territory has been formed, and in Hailing County, a small place where there is only Lu Shuang, no player force dares to spread wild in front of him, even within Guangling County. 2k reading web
