Chapter 178: Lao Jiu's Prediction (Plus Change)

"If you do this, a lot of funds will be taken away, and in this way, our losses will be really big." Baili Piaoxue doesn't understand Lao Jiu's practice of throwing money.

"I know what you think, but you need to know the current state of our empire." Lao Jiu also said a little helplessly, "What our empire lacks at the moment is not money, but people!" For example, these players, guilds, gangs, and clans can be withdrawn at any time. ”

"But even if we add them, how many people does our huge empire have? If my estimation is correct, the population base of the country will become the greatest obstacle to the development of the empire in the future! ”

"Why did these big powers come together to make such a game? Isn't it just giving those small countries a chance and at the same time eliminating them? This is just the beginning, and we need to stabilize the resident population while capturing the floating population. ”

"Isn't it possible to buy NPCs?" Mi Baoer suddenly interjected and said, "Didn't our soldiers all buy it?" ”

"That's right! But that's just for now, the game is just beginning, and it has to give people enough time to develop. Lao Jiu said calmly, "Sometimes, opportunities are often given to you, but you fail to seize them, what you miss will be the whole future." ”

"So, I can tell you for sure. If the real war starts, then the system will definitely block the purchase of NPCs. At that time, when there is no one available, it will become the most terrifying! ”

"The fastest consumption of war is often not materials and money, but people! During World War I and World War II, the total number of casualties exceeded 120 million. This is still in reality, and if you put it into the game, this number will increase exponentially. ”

"Take the little Fuso, for example, during World War II, nearly two million people died. In order to restore the population, women over the age of 14 must marry and have children. At that time, when I went out, I brought my own pillows and sheets, in order to speed up reproduction, and it has become a custom by now. ”

"Off topic, Brother Jiu......" Mi Baoer kicked Lao Jiu, rolled her eyes and said.

"Uh...... It's not off track. When the rear of the brother is stable, the first one will be killed, and then they will be raised in captivity, and the men will all be pulled to the battlefield as cannon fodder, and the women will ......" Lao Jiuzheng said rising, waved his big hand, ignored Mi Bao'er at all, and said to himself.

"Ahem, are all the women included in the harem? I heard that Fuso women are very good at playing, do you want to try it? Long Sifeng coughed twice, looked at Lao Jiu with slanted eyes, and directly interrupted him.

"How is that possible! At that time, the women will be directly used to reward the army, and all the rewards will be given to the meritorious officials, and the greater the merit, the more they will be distributed. That's a perk! Lao Jiu said solemnly.

"Have you ever seen a cat that doesn't steal?" Long Sifeng rolled his eyes and said.

"I've seen dogs stealing!" Yu Shengxiang said with a wink.

"This Bao'er can testify that I am innocent, and I definitely didn't steal it!" Lao Jiu hurriedly hid beside Mi Bao'er, then glanced at Yu Shengxiang, looked at Long Sifeng again, and said with a look of grievance.

"You ......" Yusheng stomped his feet and looked at Lao Jiu, gritting his teeth with hatred. She understands now, when it comes to bickering, she is not Lao Jiu's opponent for ten.

"You don't sell well, hurry up and get down to business." Baili Piaoxue glanced at Lao Jiu, and then said, "Listen to what you mean, what other plans do you have next, such as population transplantation?" ”

"Is this a must?" Lao Jiu said, "At present, what are we building roads and towns for? Isn't it just to resettle the population and develop the economy? We can do this at the same time! ”

"Take the Longkou Fortress to the Imperial City as an example, it is more than 500 kilometers long, we can build towns along the road, buy NPC population, let them live a normal life, and then when the road is built, they can work and use it to support their families, so that a virtuous circle can be formed."

"Of course, the NPC I'm talking about here is not an NPC warrior, but an outcast! Since this item is open on the system, I think it should have its meaning. NPC warriors are all twenty-year-old youths, so they cost twenty gold each. ”

"But the homeless people are different, one gold coin can be purchased in large quantities, and the characters are all random, only counting heads. There are men, women and children, and as for those who know how to trade, it is also normal, this is a matter of probability. ”

"At first, I didn't understand the system, but now I do. In previous games, the system automatically refreshed the homeless according to the time. However, everything has changed in this game, and this is supposed to be a benefit to the newly formed nation. ”

"That's why we should catch it, and we can't miss it. Maybe one day, the system will be updated, and then it will be too late to regret it. This is what we need to solve at the moment, and now that the four cities are about to be built, I am ready to start with these four cities. ”

"Each city was garrisoned with 50,000 soldiers, and then a million displaced people. Players, on the other hand, do not have permanent residency. The general direction of our future development is to take the NPC route, and players are the most unreliable. ”

"How many homeless people are you going to put in?" Baili Piaoxue asked.

"The exact amount is uncertain, and it has to be purchased in batches." Lao Jiu looked at her and said, then turned to Mi Bao'er and asked, "How many people are enough for our current food stockpile, and how long will it last?" ”

"Our current grain stock is only more than 300 million stones, and the current population of the empire is more than 20 million, if it is calculated according to normal consumption...... Mi Bao'er thought for a while and said, "More than 300 million stones of grain is only enough for 100 million people, and it will be eaten for half a year, that is, next year, the first season of grain will be harvested." ”

"The landlord's house must have surplus grain." Lao Jiu thought for a while and said, "Let's recruit according to 50 million first, the rise of an empire is not achieved overnight, we still have a long way to go, and we don't have to rush for a while." ”

"The next step is the planning of the road, which requires the cooperation of all walks of life, and it must also be arranged according to the specific situation. For example, from Longkou Fortress to Qilin Pass, this road is controlled by major gangs. ”

"Therefore, the project of this section of the road can be handed over to them, and we are only responsible for acceptance. As for the ones you don't want to do, I don't think you have any, and who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a good piece of cake. However, while ensuring the progress, we must pay attention to the quality. ”

"Your method is very good, now that the major families have settled in the empire, they have begun to demarcate their territories, since they have all done this, they should also show a little sincerity, not to mention, this kind of thing, for them, is simply *." Long Sifeng thought about it for a while and said.

"I'll let out the news and get them to come to me and talk to me. During this time, we will first build a resettlement point for the displaced people, and after all the displaced people have been settled, it is time to start construction, but we must hurry up, as soon as the winter comes, all the projects will not be easy to do. ”

"I can't get out at the moment, so it's up to a few of you outside." Lao Jiu said helplessly, "As for the relevant rights to recruit displaced people, I will hand them over to you." ”

"One more thing, you have to prepare early." Long Sifeng glanced at Lao Jiu, and then said seriously, "It's the power management of the empire, I really tried my best to do this, but it is still infiltrated by the major families, don't say anything at that time." ”

"This is the most obvious thing to me." Baili Piaoxue also said, "In recent months, the empire's income has been declining exponentially, and it is almost beyond its means. While they are hollowing out our economy, they are also weakening our regime. ”

"This is not something that one or two families can do, there is a serious shadow of China behind it." Long Sifeng said solemnly, "Their purpose is to firmly control you and not let you get out of control, maybe this is just the first step, and the next step may be to start with the army." ”

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but it's not time yet." Lao Jiu frowned and said, "We're still too weak now, so we must be patient." The reason why I let them become politically corrupt is to buy time for myself. ”

"They didn't want to push me too hard, that's why they took it slowly. And I am precisely using them to buy time for myself, and when our NPC base is up, it is the beginning of the next war, and only then is the time to really see the victory. ”

"If you really turn your face with Huaxia, what will you do to protect yourself?" Long Sifeng asked with a frown.

"What's this? It's a big deal, I'll take you, you take the money, let's go to Half Moon Island to live in seclusion! Lao Jiu said very arrogantly.

"When is it, still kidding!" Baili Piaoxue rolled her eyes and said.

"This is not a joke, if Huaxia really starts from reality at that time, do we have any other choice but to give up? It would be nice to be able to go into seclusion in peace and security. Lao Jiu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"Why don't you go to us? I feel like we're much better than that island. Mi Bao'er raised her head at this time, looked at everyone, and said weakly.

"It's not promising!" Long Sifeng glanced at Mi Bao'er, and then looked at Lao Jiudao, "Don't beat the chickens and eggs when the time comes." ”

"Is it that dangerous? I'll draw up a contract in the next few days, and when it comes out, I'll buy you back from the major families, and then make you warm maids. Lao Jiu looked at the girls, rolled his eyes and said.

"Then buy me first, I'm the best talker now." Yu Shengxiang looked at Lao Jiu and said hurriedly.

"Why don't the three of us go to the city that never sleeps tonight and leave some space for the two of them?" Long Sifeng glanced at the snow, then looked at Mi Baoer and said.

"You ......" Yusheng's face was flushed with shame, and he looked at the three girls, but he couldn't speak.
