Chapter 101: The Lion King's Status
When it was far away from the Lion King City, there were already sentinels who saw Xiao Yu's return and immediately reported it to Xiao Hong and Long Hui. Now, the sentinels of the Lion King are as far away as twenty miles away.
So, Xiao Hong and Long Hui greeted them together with their four sisters-in-law.
The first thing they looked at was naturally not Xiao Yu, but directly looking for Xiwen. Because, this time Xiwen is the key, and the purpose of Xiao Yu's visit this time is to bring Xiwen back.
When they saw Xiwen get out of the car, several sisters-in-law rushed up directly to hug and cry, and Xiao Hong and Long Hui also showed extremely happy light in their eyes, Xiao Yu really did it, this is not just a matter of bringing back a person, but a symbol of the rise of the Lion King Leader, no one dares to underestimate the Lion King Leader anymore.
Poor Xiao Yu opened her arms and waited for a few sisters-in-law to hug her, only to find that she ran directly past her and hugged Xiwen. So he kept such an open arms movement, with a stiff smile, looking so silly, so silly.
"Yes, you have made a contribution this time." The third sister-in-law, Kamina, gently picked Xiao Yu's jaw with her slender fingers, which was regarded as a reward.
"It's a man." The second sister-in-law, Xue Han, said lukewarmly in Xiao Yu's ear, and then walked away.
"For the sake of you bringing Xiwen back, the previous grievances have been written off." The fourth sister-in-law Xue Sha said. The grievances she said were naturally the grievances that Xiao Yu peeked at her bathing. I've already peeked at it anyway, so what else can I do? And Xiao Yu also snatched back so many good things for her.
"Xiao Yu, you really brought Xiwen back, you really deserve to be the descendant of the Xiao family." Sister-in-law Qi Yin came over and hugged Xiao Yu, which finally made up for Xiao Yu's injured self-esteem.
Xiao Yu hugged her sister-in-law and burst into tears, finally having someone who hurt herself.
The group walked into the city with a warm welcome from the people of Lion King City. Although Xiao Yu seemed to look at him casually and waved his hand to the people around him with a smile, he was actually observing the changes in the Lion King City.
When he first left, there were not so many people in Lion King City, and there were not so many soldiers, and a guard of honor of 1,000 people was formed to welcome him, which shows that during the period of Xiao Yu's departure, Lion King City has undergone great changes.
Returning to the lord's hall, Xiwen was taken away by several sisters-in-law to ask for warmth, while Xiao Yu listened to Xiao Hong and Long Hui's report on the development of the Lion King Territory during this time.
Whether it is Xiao Hong or Long Hui, they are all radiant now, and the huge changes in the lion king during this period of time make them feel like they have drunk stimulants every day.
Now, the population of the Lion King Territory has twice as much as when Xiao Yu left, reaching more than 150,000 people, and the number of soldiers has reached 10,000, which is still because Long Hui can't manage it and lacks generals, so he didn't dare to recruit so much, otherwise, now the Lion King Territory can recruit at least 30,000 soldiers. Because of Xiao Yu's policy of rewarding military merits, those adult men saw the way to gain glory and the way to fight for land for their families. Even if you die, don't be afraid, the lion king will give your family tax exemption, and you will live well in the future.
The policies of the Lion King's Territory are much better than those of any other territory, and all the people who have been here for a while immediately feel the difference.
There is no tax collector knocking on the door every day to collect taxes, there is no need to worry about not having land, here, only need to pay labor, they can get everything they want to eat, wear, shelter and travel. As long as it is their own cultivated land, they can use it for free for several years without paying taxes, which they never dared to imagine.
Moreover, the newly migrated immigrants, Xiao Yu also asked to send people to help them settle down, making them feel that this place is simply paradise.
At the beginning, the old housekeeper Xiao Hong had a very fierce resistance to many of Xiao Yu's policies, but when he saw that the Lion King Leader had flourished so quickly, he was also relieved.
Anyway, those lands will be reclaimed in a few years, but now let them plant for free, no taxes, no rent, and when they are stable here, they will definitely not leave. When the time comes, the territory will naturally become strong immediately, and now it is just in the payment stage, as if doing business is investing.
Of course, this is only a few years that Xiao Yu promised to plant for these farmers, if it is directly divided, it is estimated that the old housekeeper will not agree. Xiao Yu won't do this now, when he has a bigger territory and really becomes a hegemon, he can do this then, and it is necessary to do so at that time.
Xiao Yu has prepared the next policy, which is to use the land to continue to reward military merits, whoever has made meritorious contributions can have the right to use a piece of land for five or even ten years, no need to pay rent, no need to pay taxes, and can also rent out these lands, so that the troops led by the lion king can soon become the army of tigers and wolves like the Qin State during the Warring States Period.
After Shang Ying promulgated the policy of rewarding military merits, the soldiers of the Qin State were red-eyed when they fought one by one, and they could have as much land as they could and how much money they could earn if they killed a person, and they would naturally work hard to become a nobleman.
Sometimes, two soldiers go to chase an enemy soldier, but they don't catch it, and the other person will cut off the head of his companion to receive the merit, which shows the degree of madness.
Xiao Yu wants this kind of effect, in this era, recruit more people, reward farming and military merits, and you can be invincible. These peasants and soldiers will naturally fight for you in order to keep their land and their families.
These policies, which seem to be just a few sentences, are actually equivalent to the power of a million-dollar army.
This is the impact of advanced thinking.
In addition to these changes in the territory, Xiao Yu also deliberately asked about the situation on Kalu's side, after all, Kalu's territory is still eyeing the Lion King Territory.
However, Kalu's territory is not much in Xiao Yu's eyes now, if he can, Xiao Yu can definitely slowly encroach on Kalu's territory, just to see when the time is right.
In the last battle, Karui's territory lost 20,000 troops, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and it was difficult to organize such a large-scale battle again. After all, Karui's territory wasn't the size of the Duchy of Karn, but it was just a territory.
Now, the combat strength of Kalu's territory is estimated to be twenty or thirty thousand people, and even if it is more, it will be a temporary recruit. Therefore, when Xiao Yu left, he was not very worried that Karui would come to attack.
Moreover, Arthas has nothing to harass, and it is enough for them to keep them busy.
Long Hui reported that recently, Kalu's territory has been plagued by undead incidents, and many people have fled, and now it is chaos.
Xiao Yu listened to it, and was secretly proud, Xiao Agan's is really good.
However, then Long Hui also said with a worried face: "There is no big threat on Kalu's side now, but now the bandits are growing, and they will soon pose a huge threat to the Lion King Territory." ”
Xiao Yu was stunned and immediately asked what was going on.
It turned out that since Xiao Yu left, Thrall also led people to sweep the robbers everywhere and destroyed many small cottages, and because of the continuous attacks of the orcs, those robbers were all in danger, and they actually took the initiative to unite to fight against the lion king.
Among the bandits, there was a guy named Xie Sanlang, who was quite capable, and took this opportunity to integrate many cottages, and even gathered seventy or eighty thousand people to form an extremely powerful military force.
Although the Lion King Leader now has troops summoned from the base, there are only 2,000 people, and the 10,000 guards of the Lion King Leader are all new recruits, and the combat effectiveness is not strong at all, so such a force of 70,000 or 80,000 people is definitely a very big threat to the Lion King Leader.
Moreover, it is said that Karui also sent people to contact these robbers, preparing to deal with the lion king together.
Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he didn't expect that he had inadvertently contributed to such a situation. But that's okay, they're all gathered together, and it's easy for Xiao Yu to kill them, and he looks for them one by one.
It's just that it is not so easy to deal with 70,000 or 80,000 robbers, you can only outwit them, not attack them.
"Within a year, the Lion King of the Flat Land will lead all the robbers, and within two years, the northwest will be unified." Xiao Yu secretly set this goal.
He knew that in this era, the troubled times were about to rise, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in this world, he must first unify this part of the northwest, and at that time, he would be able to compete with other powerful forces.
For example, an existence like the Principality of Karn, now that he is a small lion king leader, he is not an opponent at all, even if the summoned Warcraft troops are NB, and hundreds of thousands of troops are on the same page, you will still be finished.
Moreover, such a large principality, there are real things under the hands, what magicians, magic items, and high-level weapons are not comparable to a Karui territory.
