Offering a salary increase for the villagers was not a whim. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the initial stage, there are two main obstacles that restrict the development of the player's territory: talent and population.
Village-level territories are protected by the system and can be protected from being attacked by other player forces, and conversely, powerful lords cannot temporarily obtain the population and talents urgently needed for the development of their territories by attacking other lords. During this period, the population growth of the player's territory mainly depends on the refresh of the homeless, and the main factor affecting the refresh of the homeless is the satisfaction of the territory.
The higher the satisfaction, the faster the homeless will refresh.
Raising the villagers' salaries is the only way to quickly increase their satisfaction.
The current population of the Champion is not large, and the overall salary increase has little impact on the balance of the territory, relatively speaking, if the salary increase can help the territory to reach the conditions for upgrading to a third-level village faster, it is a very cost-effective investment. Moreover, after the villagers get more salaries, they will bring them to consumption, which will not only stimulate the commercial development of the territory, but will eventually become part of the income of the territory in various ways.
The people are rich and the country is strong, and although the deer leader is only a small village, the truth is the same.
The deer leader can make a profit by clearing the cottages, and the territory has enough economic strength to improve the treatment of the villagers. At a critical time to attract refugees, Xu Shu wanted to "give them benefits", and a village chief happened to take advantage of the situation to make a decision.
The news of the salary increase was announced soon.
The villagers rejoiced, and laughter could be heard everywhere in the territory.
The three people who stayed in Zhulu to adopt the wounded looked at everything in front of them with envious eyes.
People don't like farming, but that doesn't mean they don't want to live a good life.
During their recuperation, they learned about the salaries of the villagers.
Although the average salary of the villagers is not as high as the income of the people who accept employment, there is no risk. The amount of mercenary income depends on the number of tasks, sometimes there is no battle for several months, and the villagers can get a stable return; The mercenaries can only be young and strong men, and the women of Zhulu Village can also get a good salary through their work, and if you compare them with a family unit, the villagers of Zhulu have an obvious advantage.
All the villagers raised their salaries by 30%, which made the mercenaries red-eyed.
The three mercenaries gathered together and whispered.
"I want ...... so much"
"Their village chief is generous, our patriarch is stupid......"
"Don't say that, the patriarch is still very fair, but it's not likely to make money......"
"Isn't it stupid that you can't make money?"
"Well, it seems to make some sense......
The three people fell silent, and after a while, one of them suddenly said, "Or, let's ask if we can stay?" ā
After Xu Shu and Lao Lin Yun discussed, Zhululing quickly formed a team of more than 20 people to welcome refugees, and sent people to rent a few ox carts from nearby towns and villages, which were loaded with a large amount of food. When everything was ready, Lao Lin Yun personally led the team towards the north.
The campaign to welcome the refugees quickly paid off.
In the afternoon of the next day, the ox cart returned fully laden, and after unloading the people and their luggage, they set off again.
Five ox carts were packed to bring back nearly 60 refugees, including two skilled personnel, for the territory.
Xu Shu is not surprised by this, skilled talents are first of all the people, and they have to run away when the rat infestation is serious.
The territory had long been prepared to receive refugees, and Xu Shu had a strong sense of foresight, and before Lin Yun set off, he began to arrange for people to build houses in advance. As a result, when the first batch of refugees arrived, they did not have to sleep outside their houses due to lack of housing.
Overall, the refugees are well taken care of.
At night, when a village chief and Xu Shu visited the refugees, everyone was generally satisfied with the deer leader.
After a night's rest, the refugees began to devote themselves to the construction of the territory.
With the addition of a new force, Xu Shu's room for manpower deployment gradually became more abundant. The construction of the dwellings continued, and the movement of booty, which had stalled to welcome the refugees, was restarted.
On the afternoon of the third day, more refugees poured in.
Due to the large number of refugees, the ox cart could no longer take all the people, so the old and weak women and children could only be allowed to sit on the cart, and the refugees who were in better health could walk with the ox cart. Therefore, there are a lot of refugees in this group, more than 110 people came at once, and the deer collar seems to have become lively all of a sudden.
Under Xu Shu's arrangement, the reception and resettlement of refugees has been proceeding in a step-by-step manner.
The villagers who followed the car to take care of the refugees and acted as a guide brought back bad news: Zhulu led the refugees south in ox carts, and could not avoid the eyes of the territories along the way.
In the end, the villagers who followed the car proudly said: "Don't worry, adults, we have the highest salary!" ā
The implication is that the Champion still has an advantage in the competition for refugees.
Xu Shu hurriedly ran to find Yu Buzhi, and said solemnly: "My lord, if this continues, our population will reach the upper limit tomorrow, and we will not be able to continue to accept refugees at that time." I have asked Wang Di to select young and strong people from the villagers to form a territorial army, and the military camp can only recruit a maximum of 50 people, and I am afraid that it will soon be ......."
With the continuous influx of refugees, the population of Zhululing has soared to more than 230 people in the past two days, and the population of second-tier villages is capped at 300. Based on today's influx of refugees, even if the barracks were to recruit 50 soldiers, tomorrow's refugees would likely overwhelm the territory's population.
Yu Buzhi frowned slightly, he knew how difficult it was to grow the population when the territory was in the village stage. The rat infestation in the two counties of Ba County is tantamount to a catastrophe for the lord players in the disaster area, but it is also a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity for the surrounding territories.
Miss this village, but don't have that shop!
No, we must try our best to seize this opportunity and try our best to stock up on the population!
In an instant, Yu Buzhi made a decision and asked, "Yuan Zhi, is there a carpenter among the refugees?" ā
Xu Shu was clear about the situation of the territory, and immediately said: "There is one." ā
A village chief breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." With the carpenter, Birdy can be withdrawn from the carpenter's workshop, and he can establish a dependent territory, and once the dependent territory is established, we can take in more refugees. ā
Xu Shu was inexplicable and asked, "Dependent territory?" ā
"Yes, Bird Di is a senior carpenter, qualified."
Yu Buzhi saw that Xu Shu was still confused, and knew that it must be because he had just come into contact with territorial governance, and the experienced Lin Lao received refugees in the border area, which caused Xu Shu to know nothing about the setting of the subordinate territory, so he explained: "The territory can establish a subsidiary territory, and the newly established subsidiary territory is a level 1 village, and it costs 1000 gold to establish a subsidiary territory, and the village stage can be directly upgraded by investing funds, but the scale of the subsidiary territory must not exceed the scale of the main territory."
However, it is not easy to establish a subordinate territory, because high-ranking talents are required to serve as the village head of the dependent territory.
As the size of the province increases, the number of subordinate provinces will also increase, with two secondary provinces for Tier 1 villages and one additional quota for Tier 2 villages, which means that we can now create up to three subordinate provinces. However, there are almost no high-level talents in the territory, and after thinking about it, only Yu Di is a senior carpenter, as for recruiting old people...... The senior is not in the territory at the moment, and his martial artist level should not be low. Yu Buzhi secretly wiped his sweat, Xu Shu, who had a background of Ren Xia, had a lot of respect for Zhao Feng, and he almost called Zhao Old Man just now.
Xu Shu finally figured out what was going on with the dependent territories.
"Xiao Di is renovating the ...... arrow tower"
"I know that the situation is special now, so I have to do it in a hurry." Yu Buzhi sighed.
Xu Shu laughed and said, "My lord doesn't know, among the refugees today, there is a high-level talent. ā
