Favorability and prestige are both in the diplomatic column, but these two are not the same thing.

To put it simply, opinion can be seen as the favorability of a country towards the player, and reputation is the performance of a country as a whole on a continent.

Before Mi County collapsed because of trade talks, the favorability of the new country really decreased sharply, but I didn't expect to send troops this time, but it will increase the favorability again.

Ren Tian shook his head in his heart, not thinking about it, he clicked on the building system panel again, and looked at the newly built building.

"Building: Gambling House (Small)

Construction Cost: 5g

Effect: Improve the prosperity of the city; There is a chance to attract people who like to gamble to gamble; Provision of taxes. ”

This gambling house is a newly built building a few days ago, in addition to the Qinglou tavern, it is the third type of building in the new country, and it is almost built today.

So, Ren Tian took Xiao Dengzi and walked towards the gambling house.

The gambling house was built near the bridge opposite the tavern, which was the place with the largest flow of people, and after crossing the bridge, I saw a building on the left, and a plaque made of wood protruded from it, which said "Gambling House", but there was a cloth at the door to cover the situation inside.

Ren Tian held his hands and watched the people of Xinguo open the curtain from time to time and go in, he was extremely emotional, throughout the ages, gambling is actually very prosperous, and Chinese gambling has been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty.

And gambling houses, like Qinglou, as an entertainment industry in ancient times, can provide a lot of taxes to the state.

Pushing open the curtain and entering, I could see five big and three thick men standing around the gambling house, holding their hands and looking at the guests inside.

The gambling house is very lively, there are already many people here, and there are many gamblers in front of every big table.

The gambling house is still relatively small, there is no second floor, only a few tables on the first floor, but even so, it is still overcrowded.

Ren Tian curiously leaned over and looked at a few tables of gambling content, in fact, it is also very common, single and double, dice, four-door square treasure, pai gow, fan stall, etc., as for the rest of the special ones, such as playing grasshoppers, cockfighting, these, but no.

"Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"

Xiao Deng Zi asked in a low voice on the side.

Ren Tian looked at it with interest: "Just take a look." ”

The gambling house was newly built, and he would definitely come to visit it, but as for gambling, he had no interest.

After walking around, Ren Tian walked out of the gambling house.

In front of me is the street that has been repaired in Nanxian County, very smooth and clean, neat bluestone slabs, hawkers shouting not far in front, a child running forward with bare feet excitedly, and the rest of the people are coming and going.

The overall prosperity of Nanxian County has reached 62, and it was only 55 points at the beginning, but after this period of construction and road renovation projects, the prosperity has increased a lot.

Along this street, in the west of the city, there is a newly renovated mansion, which is the Honglu Temple, which is responsible for receiving envoys and foreign guests from other countries.

In addition, along the street, there are several houses under construction, and the prototype of the house has begun to take shape.

Generally speaking, a country attracts more displaced people, and those displaced people will gather around the city, so there are more farms, and after there are more farms, there are more landlords who accumulate wealth, and they have money to settle in the city.

"How wonderful."

Ren Tian sighed for a moment, and then his gaze fell on the middle-aged man who came out of the Qinglou not far away.

Since the opening of the Qinglou, this middle-aged man always wants to run to the Qinglou, and Ren Tian can basically judge that this is a historical celebrity, and he should be a cultural celebrity, not a political celebrity.

This made Ren Tian a little disappointed, so although he still maintained a friendship with a middle-aged man, he didn't go to see him often.

……

Meanwhile.

Wang Xuan, with a thousand soldiers, had already rushed to Pingxian and was stationed directly in Pingxian.

A regiment of the new country, with 4,000 soldiers, was divided into three parts, and the largest part was naturally the regimental county where Tiandan was stationed.

Tian Dan, with his soldiers, began to check the situation of the city wall, and turned the city wall around.

"Commander Tian, what's the situation?"

Xie Dang asked anxiously.

"There are some places that need to be repaired, and there are also a lot of rolling logs, and there are also a lot of arrows, and you need to prepare hot water."

"No problem, I'll tell someone to cut the wood."

Xie Dang hurriedly went to give the order, the rolling wood needed to go out to cut wood, and the arrows needed to be made.

After giving the order, Xie Dang looked at Commander Tian: "Commander Tian rest assured, there was an ordnance bureau left over from the Gaozu period in Mixian before, although some of the equipment in it is some years old, it can still be used, if it is produced with all its might, it will not be a problem to produce a thousand arrows a day." ”

Tian Dan nodded: "That's the best, Xie County Order, please go, the city wall is defended, don't worry." ”

Xie Dang hurriedly went down the city wall to get busy, and Tian Dan called a few soldiers again, asked them to dress up in disguise, and went to investigate the situation of Qinglongzhai and closely supervise the movement in the north of Mi County.

So, the race against time began.

Tiandan arranged to take turns to be on duty at night, even at night, there were lights on the wall of Mixian County.

Tian Dan's expression was still very calm, two thousand soldiers were enough to defend this city, but this was not enough, the most important thing was how to destroy Qinglong Village.

Time passed in the tense and busy atmosphere of Mi County, and in just four days, there were 4,000 more arrows, and a large amount of wood was cut down in the nearby forest to make rolling log.

For the drills of these two thousand soldiers, Tian Dan did not fall behind, he practiced every day, and again, Xie Dang did not treat these soldiers badly, they were all good meat preparations.

"Commander Tian, you can eat some too."

Xie Dang was very welcoming.

Tian Dan shook his head: "It's okay, you eat first." ”

"It's only early in the morning today, and Qinglongzhai shouldn't choose this time to attack."

The siege needs to have a full field of vision, so the siege battle will be chosen during the day, and it is good to schedule, otherwise the siege at night, with torches below, is bright, and the head of the city is dark, and you can't hide if you want to.

Again, the soldiers also need to have enough rest, so they will not attack the city at night, and the military activities at night are all attacks on the camp.

As he was talking, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in front of him.

Tian Dan looked ahead, only to see that not far ahead, a large group of horse thieves, and even nearly a thousand mountain thieves, walked towards Mi County.

Horse thief, siege!
