The protection fee of the famous city has continuity, and no one can afford to lose the famous city, so it can be regarded as a long-term project and is fully eligible to be included in the long-term income of the territory. However, the protection fee can only be collected in Ba County, and the two special territories and exotic strongholds cannot be imitated, and it is difficult to expect this income from the protection fee of the famous city of Ba County to completely fill the huge salary black hole.

"Guys, is there a good idea?" Yu Buzhi looked at everyone with expectant eyes.

In the office, there was another unspeakable silence, and many people buried their heads, not daring to look at the lord.

Yu Buzhi is so emotional in his heart, there should be no unrealistic thoughts.

How can there be so many ready-made ways to make money?

Zhulu has been trapped by money for a long time, and several deputy city lords are all budget-conscious masters, Yi Feng is a typical representative of Qianyan City, and the methods that can be thought of have already been put into practice, can you wait until now? As for the shelving of the protection fee of the famous city, it is a special case, and it is out of the consideration of protecting the reputation of the lord as much as possible, otherwise it would not have been delayed until now.

"The location of the exotic stronghold, there should be an explanation." Xun Yan said suddenly.

Seeing that the open source path was blocked, Xun Yan decisively turned to the direction of source saving.

Beppu and enclave are quite unusual in the system of chasing deer collars.

These two strongholds have some of the characteristics of the player's stronghold: for example, the territory can dominate the stronghold construction process; Conscription can be made within the stronghold; It is also acceptable for the territory to send troops from other strongholds to garrison it; Moreover, it can realize the player's teleportation through the post station...... All of the above are the characteristics of the player's stronghold.

However, it would be far-fetched to conclude that they are player strongholds.

This is due to the fact that Exotic Strongholds also possess some characteristics that are incompatible with Territory Strongholds.

There are two most intuitive reasons for this: the size of the stronghold and the control of the army.

Let's start with the size of the base.

As we all know, according to the rules of the game, it is impossible for the size of the subordinate stronghold to exceed the main city.

The enclave was newly created, small in scale, and officially given to vassal power, which is a special situation, not to mention.

Beppu was a coincidence, and was directly promoted to the second-level capital by the Qinglong clone, which was higher in scale than the main city, breaking this iron law. Obviously, it has a large number of player territory animals, but the scale of the stronghold level surpasses the main city and becomes a special existence. In the entire game of Three Kingdoms, Beppu is unique.

And then there's the military control.

The fact that Beppu was larger than the main castle caused the territory's thinkers to worry that the stronghold was becoming a famous city, which in turn raised concerns about whether the Beppu garrison could be completely controlled. Whether or not Beppu's army is constrained by the transformation of the city and whether there is a limit on the proportion of troops sent is directly related to the development strategy of the territory in Wajima, and has a far-reaching impact. For this reason, Yu Buzhi specially teleported to Beppu in a hurry, and recruited a team of 100 people for testing. Actual measurements have proved that although the 100-man team completely obeys orders, there are restrictions on sending troops, which is the treatment only available to the famous city army.

This situation made everyone collectively dumbfounded.

It directly triggered a discussion on whether to recall the expeditionary force, lest the thousands of soldiers and horses sent to Wajima be trapped inside. Later, the Broken Cavalry, who was the first to arrive on Wajima, sent a team into the city to test the waters, confirming that the troops of the territorial lineage did not seem to be subject to restrictions on sending troops, and finally dispelled the doubts about reinforcing Wajima.

Of course, that's all for later.

The point is that Beppu's native army has a limit on the number of troops to be sent, which is a treatment that only famous cities have.

Regardless of the basic nature of the stronghold, the construction mode, or the operating system, they are very different from normal or special territories, not like the player's stronghold, but closer to the number of paths of the system's stronghold. There are also obvious differences between the two exotic strongholds, with the enclave belonging to the Aoya tribe and Beppu being relatively independent. This makes it very complicated to define an Exotic stronghold, and there is a disagreement within the Raiders. Whether Beppu and the enclave are player strongholds or system strongholds has not yet been determined.

Why did Xun Yan ask to determine the location of the exotic stronghold at this moment?

The reason is simple: different positioning, huge salary difference!

Recognized as a direct player base, the salary should be the same as the main city, which will inevitably make the salary burden of the territory heavier; If it is identified as a system base, then the situation is much simpler, and it is easy to go according to the salary level of the famous city.

The enclave belongs to the Qinggu tribe, and the salaries of the subsidiary forces do not need to worry about the main city.

Actually, this definition is mainly for Beppu.

Beppu has a small population, but it is the scale of a second-level capital, and when the population comes up, the salary expenditure is very considerable. If it is governed by comparing the territorial strongholds, it is obvious that it can only rely on a large number of blood transfusions from other strongholds, and in the long run, this will be an unbearable burden for the deer leader.

"Compare it to the standards of famous cities." Yu Buzhi sighed.

He was inclined to include Beppu in the direct system, but he not only saw the problems faced by the territorial economy, but also insisted on the original intention, completely ignoring whether the entire system could withstand it, which was called self-control. The fish is not wise and has no problem of great joy, and it should be turned around, and it will never drag the mud and water.

"Let's do this today, and think more about how to generate income when we go back." Seeing that everyone had no other proposals, Yu Buzhi decisively drew an end to the meeting.

At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed.

Walking on the way to the teleportation array, Zhai Jian's steps were extremely heavy.

Xun Yan's judgment on the economic situation of the territory made Zhai Jian feel an unprecedentedly strong crisis.

When he went to the Hetao to establish the Dragon Collar Association, Zhai Jian had mixed feelings in his heart, including the excitement of the Han family returning to the Hetao, the unparalleled pride, and the deep fear and worry about the Qianghu forces. As the dragon collar gradually grew, the legend of the dragon was praised on the grassland, and Zhu Jun returned Shangjun to the Han family, the dragon collar became more and more safe and stable, and the worries in Zhai Yin's heart gradually faded.

But it just faded away, never disappeared.

Zhai Jian didn't dare to relax his vigilance, just because the place he was in was a dangerous Hetao.

To establish a dragon collar in the Hetao, it is an adventure to tie your head to the waistband of your trousers, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out, although Zhai Jian has been troubled by worry and fear for a long time, but she does not regret it, but is a little proud of the country. And now, even Zhai Jian has to admit that the external environment of Beppu and the enclave is much more bumpy than that of the dragon collar.

Beppu and the enclave, the two nascent strongholds, both face a similar external threat, that is, alien races. Although the dragon leader took root in the Hetao, although it also faced a serious threat from Qianghu, but after all, the Hetao was once Han soil, and on that land, the Han family had actual control and effective jurisdiction for hundreds of years, and it was also close to the Central Plains.

The two new strongholds were entirely on alien land, typical of conquests, surrounded by hostile alien races, with no ethnic blood, no cultural identity, no historical lineage, and no power to rely on. As far as the eye can see, there is no friend everywhere, how easy is it to gain a firm foothold?

Yin Jian is in front of him, and Zhai Jian can no longer be complacent because he is in a dangerous situation.

Relying on the surplus of Zhulu City alone, it is difficult to provide enough blood for the overall development of the territory, and fresh blood must be injected. At this stage, the only ones who can help the main city share part of the responsibility are two special territories, and in Zhai Jian's opinion, the probability of the dragon leader standing up to shoulder the burden is much greater than that of the flying fish leader.

The creation time of the dragon collar lags behind the Flying Fish Collar, but there are many advantages that the Flying Fish Collar does not have.

For example, there is no shortage of land in Long Lingfa; The only city-level subordinate territory of the territory is in the Hetao; Shangjun Taishoufu's friendliness to Zhululing is far greater than that of Jizhou Mansion; Directly facing the vast Qianghu market......

All of this is what the Flying Fish Collar does not have.

Comparing the two special territories, although the external threat faced by the Dragon Territory is much greater, the development potential is definitely above the Flying Fish Territory. The Flying Fish Territory does not have the necessary conditions for external expansion, and it can be maintained to provide convenience for the territory to project influence, and no one has the luxury of expecting the Flying Fish Territory to do more. The dragon collar does not have the restrictions of the flying fish collar at all, so why should he be self-sufficient?

After Xun Yan returned to Zhulu City, the Flying Fish Leader was actually Ni Yi's house, and Fei Boren was responsible for external contact.

Ni Yi is an ordinary official who has been transferred, and the only bright spot is probably that he comes from the Zhulu Collar, and his roots are red, in terms of ability, Ni Yi has a huge gap compared with the person in charge of several other strongholds. Zhai Jian is a genuine disciple of Lumen Mountain, and the dragon leader has so many more favorable conditions than the flying fish leader, how can he have the same requirements for himself as the flying fish leader?

On the other hand, Yi Feng has done a good job in Zhulu City, and his work attitude and performance are impeccable, which not only ensures the long-term steady development of the main city area, but also continues to deliver resources to the brother strongholds.

They are all students who came out of Lumen Mountain, and Zhai Jian is sincerely happy for Yi Feng's achievements.

But from another point of view, as a fellow senior brother who is far better than Yi Feng in the study stage, and they are each responsible for a certain area of the territory, the nature of the work is exactly the same, so there is naturally a performance competition. This will not change because of the personal relationship between the two. The higher Yi Feng's achievements, the more dim the light of the other deputy city lords, including Zhai Yin, became, which was difficult for Zhai Jian to accept calmly.

Everyone wants to be recognized, they want to show their worth as much as possible, and Zhai is no different.

Yi Feng's qualifications are far inferior to Zhai Yin, otherwise he would not have been able to become a disciple of Master Pang, and he only barely obtained the status of a protégé, and even in the end, he did not even keep his protégé qualifications, and was politely persuaded to retire in the name of studying in the mountains.

When Yi Feng went down the mountain, Zhai Jian felt pity and sympathy for him in his heart.

As the so-called feng shui rotates, the outcasts of the division who were exiled in disguise in the past have achieved impressive results in the Zhulu Leader, and Zhai Jian, who trained Yi Feng in that era, is far behind Yi Feng in his contribution to the territory and actual performance, even if the fundamentals mastered by the two are far apart, and the resources of the main city are much superior to those of the Dragon Leader, it is difficult for Zhai Jian to accept the status quo with peace of mind.

"Cheer up!" When he walked into the teleportation array, Zhai Jian said silently in his heart.
