?? When he was busy dealing with the players in Plains County and Hejian County, it seemed that there were also players in the east who were not at ease and aimed their guns at Xinguo.

Fortunately, this player should be a cautious character, and when he sees that the new country is on guard, he wants to test the new country first.

Ren Tian, who thought about this clearly, simply refused.

"Nope."

Then, Ren Tian looked at Bai Qi: "Commander Bai, the eastern border of Linchuan County is handed over to you, and you need to strengthen it." ”

"Yes!"

After doing all this, Ren Tian asked again: "Is there still a play?" ”

Xie Dang came out: "Your Majesty, the Ordnance Bureau and some workshops have new research and development items. ”

"Bring it in."

Soon, Song Shu was handed over, and Ren Tian's side was also happy in his eyes.

"Item: Sharp Iron Knife

Damage: 50 - 100

Note: The iron knife developed by Xinguo craftsmen is of excellent quality and light weight. ”

This is a newly developed item from the Ordnance Bureau, and it is also needed by the new country, and the damage is indeed much higher than that of bronze.

"Item: The Ultimate Three-Eyed Sword

Damage: 60-120

Note: The sword developed by the craftsmen of Xinguo is of excellent quality. ”

The most important of these two things is the iron sword, which can only be sold in the blacksmith's shop.

In ancient times, the sword had two functions in the earliest days: dancing and accessories, suitable for stabbing, but not suitable for slashing vigorously, the usefulness of the sword was very limited, and it was basically useless on the battlefield, and could be used for emergency self-defense and command.

Large-scale battles on the battlefield, the best are still broadswords, spears, cavalry chariots. Therefore, in a collective war, the lethality of the sword is small, and its usefulness is greatly limited, and it is inferior to the sword. In the increase in cavalry units, horse warfare required slashing rather than stabbing, so the sword was more practical than the sword, and the cavalry mostly used the sword. Generally, those with status should cross the sword to show dignity, and the sword is cheap, not as easy to break as a sword, quick to get started, large wound, and high sex price.

And Ren Tian still has an idea, when the time comes, he will create an iron armor and get a heavy infantry.

Although they have not yet received the training methods of the corresponding famous generals or heavy infantry, players can find their own way, and heavy infantry can sometimes play an extremely important role.

Moreover, he also took a look at the research and development process of the Ordnance Bureau, basically iron weapons and equipment, and the research and development is also fast.

At that time, the new army will all be replaced with iron equipment, and the defense and strength will be greatly improved.

Ren Tian continued to look down again, but at this look, there was joy in his eyes.

"Equipment: Catapult (Elementary)

Effect: A siege machine that shoots boulders into the distance with great lethality. To build a catapult, it costs 5 gold. ”

I didn't expect the catapult to be developed, with this thing, it would be much more convenient to defend the city.

In ancient Chinese history, catapults were not too unpopular, because catapults were too bulky and unsuitable for flexible tactics, unlike Europeans who only knew how to use catapults to smash the city walls first, the ancient Chinese city walls were too thick and too laborious to smash.

However, catapults still play a good role in many cases.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin general Li Xin attacked the Chu State, and the Chu army secretly prepared a large number of catapults, and when the Qin army crossed the river, it was suddenly launched at the same time, and countless sharp stones smashed into the Qin army like dark clouds, and the 200,000 Qin army was completely defeated, and Li Xin himself committed suicide in defeat. Later, Wang Qian, one of the four generals, led an army of 600,000 to capture the state of Chu, which shows the power of the catapult at that time.

With the development of technology, catapults are becoming more and more advanced, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Ye presented a thunderbolt to Cao Cao, which is an improved version of the catapult in the Warring States Period, and played a good role in the battle of Guandu.

China's catapults reached their peak in the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty's military book "Wujing General Essentials" said, "All cannons, sharp weapons in the army, offensive and defensive divisions are used", which shows the importance attached to catapults.

In the game, catapults can be continuously developed and improved to increase the launch distance, even more than 500 meters away!

It's just that the cost of this catapult is also very expensive, 5 gold for a catapult.

The corners of Ren Tian's mouth twitched, and he had to spend money again, thinking about it carefully, Ren Tian directly ordered to build nine catapults, even if the catapults were bulky and not suitable for attacking the city in the early stage, but defending the city was definitely a sharp weapon.

Yunxian County in Hejian County, Youxian County in the east, and Beixian County in the north of Qinglong Pass, these cities are considered to be the borders of the new country, and if there are catapults, it is naturally much more powerful to defend the city.

Turning off the page, Ren Tian was quite satisfied.

"Yes, with these things, the strength of the new country can be increased by one point. Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have a performance? ”

This time, the courtiers in the hall didn't play.

Ren Tian said: "Since this is the case, let's retreat." ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Ren Tian also opened his attribute panel to check the situation of the new country.

[Country code]: new

[Year name]: Daping

[National Level]: Large Marquis

[Reputation]: 115 (Affects diplomatic alliances, good prestige neighbors are willing to trade and form alliances with you; will make neutral countries defect)

[National corruption]: 90% (corruption, means the degree of corruption in the country, when the higher the degree of corruption, the lower the overall corruption of the country, on the contrary, the higher the degree of corruption. Corruption has a very bad impact on the state, one is the enrichment of officials, which leads to a decrease in the revenue of the state treasury, and the second is a decrease in administrative efficiency. Corruption is inevitable and will slowly increase as the number of officials increases, and some wrong measures can reduce the integrity of the country.

?? [National Luck]: 5 (Luck Value: It can bring good luck to the country, the higher the luck value, the higher the probability of obtaining various items such as treasures, drawings, and talents.) ）

[National class]: 84% of the poor family, 16% of the family

【Treasury Funds】:

Total credits: 570 gold

Monthly income: 217 gold

Monthly payout: 98 gold

Income and expenditure: +119g

[Current population]: 2 million

Convective attraction: 52%

???? Current tax rate: 20%

???? [National Concept]: Confucianism 18%, Legalism 12%, Mohist 15%, Zonghengjia 13%, Taoism 10% (the national concept refers to the collision of various doctrines in a country, the entire national concept is at most 100%, no matter how many ideas, the proportion they compose, and finally 100%. Different doctrines have different effects on the state, and this influence can be good or bad, and the influence will be different when the doctrine occupies different proportions in the national idea. ）

Popular Hearts: 80

Folk customs: Ren Xia is prevalent. ”

After such a long period of development, the biggest change is the treasury revenue and expenditure, Ren Tian diligently developed the foundation of the new country, vigorously cultivated farmland, helped the displaced people to settle in the new country, the potential of the population burst out, and the monthly tax income, the total total is 217 gold!

Excluding expenses, there is almost 119 gold income every month, which is already very high, but at present, the income growth of the new country has not stopped, and it continues to rise.

The people's heart, which was also restored to 80 points after giving a buff from more than 90 points before.

Another big change is the territory.

"[Territory]:

Linchuan County (7/7) - located in the southern part of the mainland, a small county with a total population of about one million households, a total of seven counties in the county, rich in resources, simple people, very suitable for agricultural development.

Hagma-gun (3/38) – Located in the western part of Limcheon-gun, it is divided into two halves by a river, with rich land, fertile soil, and proximity to water sources, which is suitable for agriculture and water trade, but there is a possibility of flooding.

Pingyuan County (2/50) - Located in the northern part of Linchuan County, the terrain is mainly plain, rich in vegetation and trees, suitable for raising livestock and horses, and the specialty is war horses. ”

The entire territory seems to be clear at a glance, and at the same time, it can be seen that Linchuan County is indeed relatively small on the map of this island.

Because the river is divided into east and west halves, there is actually a part of the west that also belongs to the river, and the largest county is naturally the plain county, with a total of 50 cities!

Neutral nations are deducted, which means that there are at least a dozen players in Plains County!

This can also be seen how fierce the competition in Pingyuan County is, and why there are too many people who have been fighting around before.

Of course, there are many ways to play this game, and when there are actually so many players, you don't necessarily have to think about annexing each other, you can also form an alliance with each other, destroy the rest first, and then divide the territory, or move the capital, etc.

Ren Tian continued to check the attributes of the city, mainly Nanxian, and after the other cities were assigned county orders, they all entered the state of automatic trusteeship, and the development was naturally not as good as Nanxian County, which Ren Tian was personally responsible for.

The rest of the cities are still small counties, and there is still a way to go before they are upgraded to medium-sized counties, and the fastest is Mi County, because Mi County, together with the mines of Qinglong Mountain and the rest of the cities in Xinguo, is in the transportation hub, so it is developing the fastest, but its current prosperity is only 90.

And Nanxian is different.

Nanxian County (medium-sized county seat):

Overall Prosperity: 89/100

Agriculture: 90

Commercial: 85

Water conservancy: 80

Law & Security: 93

City defense: 88

Hygiene: 82

All kinds of buildings in Nanxian County have never fallen in the sky, and at the same time, agricultural reclamation and water conservancy construction have been maintained, so even after being upgraded to a medium-sized county seat, it has rushed very quickly in a short period of time, and it is only a matter of time before the prosperity reaches 100 points.

At the same time, Ren Tian's personal historical evaluation has also changed.

"Historical evaluation: You ascended the throne because of the death of your father, like an unknown ordinary emperor in the long river of history, you do not have any merits worthy of praise, you inherit just a small country, political, economic, cultural and military are very backward.

However, since ascending the throne, you have been diligent in government and love for the people, developed the military, and issued a series of measures to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and even gathered rare historical generals on the mainland, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the strength of the new country has been significantly improved.

During his reign, he flexibly used foreign troops, and the territory was greatly expanded, and Linchuan County has become the territory of the new country, and at the same time, Hejian County and Pingyuan County also have the cities of the new country.

The people in China are extremely satisfied with you, and the comprehensive national strength is also a small strength in a small number of countries.

Your current achievements are very similar to the Ming Yuan Emperor Tuoba heir, cultural and martial arts, and your military strength has been significantly improved. So, where do you go next? ”

This emperor was the second emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the eldest son of the founding emperor Daowu Emperor Tuoba Jue. In 409, Emperor Daowu was killed by his second son Tuoba Shao, who tried to seize the throne, and Tuoba Si raised an army to kill his younger brother Tuoba Shao, who then succeeded to the throne as Emperor Ming Yuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Ming and Yuan, he devoted himself to destroying the remaining secessionist regimes in the north, and at the same time sent troops south to crusade against Liu Song, occupying at least thousands of miles of land in Liu Song.

Later, Emperor Ming Yuan died of overwork due to long-term imperial driving and personal conquest, at the age of 31, the temple name was "Taizong", and the nickname was "Emperor Ming Yuan". Later generations spoke very highly of Emperor Ming Yuan, because he inherited Emperor Daowu's martial arts, and laid the foundation for his son Emperor Taiwu to unify northern China.

On the whole, this personal historical evaluation is indeed very good.

Ren Tian was very satisfied, he was indeed very satisfied with his development in the past period of time, as long as it developed steadily, the new country would definitely be able to participate in the struggle for hegemony on the mainland in the future.

In terms of comprehensive national strength, there has also been a marked increase.

"[Comprehensive National Power Index]:

???????? Political index - 5

???????? Economic index - 7

???????? Military index - 9

???????? Culture Index – 6"

This national strength index has improved a lot compared with before, and the biggest improvement is still the military index, followed by the economic index, and the political index is worse.

This is also because the new country is indeed short of talents, three public and nine secretaries, and some core positions are vacant, and there is no way.

Of course, in the column of officials, the number of local officials has been a lot, and the number of talents found in the excavation is also a lot, during which there are some D-level talents, which can meet the needs of local talents, in fact, the later it is, the greater the need for this kind of D-level and C-level talents, because the player's territory will continue to expand, and basic talents are the top priority.

Fortunately, as long as you arrive in the principality, you can start the talent selection system, and the selection of talents will be much faster.

After getting off the morning court, Ren Tian had breakfast leisurely, changed his clothes, and then went to Lanyue Hall to promote his relationship with Ban Jieyu as usual.

This time, he glanced at Ban Jieyu's stomach as usual, well, there was no movement.

How do you feel that in this game, it seems that the probability of winning the bid is much less.

Ren Tian muttered a little in his heart, is it not very useful when the system is controlled, this kind of thing still has to be fought in person.

Of course, the main reason is that the player's children can grow up faster, and they will be civil and military generals in the future, and the most important thing is that they will be able to have the prince in charge of the country in the future.

He now chooses to spend the night in the harem every night, of course, this flip, there are only two people in the harem, and the probability of turning to Ban Jieyu is half and half, so every morning Ren Tian comes to Ban Jieyu.

After exchanging feelings, Ren Tian left the harem again and was ready to start a private visit to Weifu.

At present, the new kingdom is only a small marquis, and when the principality is reached and Taixue is established, then the emperor's daily routine will add an activity called the scripture feast, in other words, it is to open a small stove to give lectures.
