Although Lao Jiu is very convenient for other players, all the minerals in the empire are privately owned by the empire, and this is a strategic material that cannot be transferred. At the same time as the players were building a lot of buildings, Lao Jiu also began the comprehensive planning of the Imperial City.

The construction of the Imperial City began from the inside, the first was to renovate the river, build an artificial lake, and build a moat. Since the blast furnace is not currently in operation, and the various smelters are still under construction, Lao Jiu left the city wall at the end.

Lao Jiu's planning for the Imperial City of Xiaoyao can be said to be very huge, the city wall is square, the side is ten kilometers long, directly across the Xiaoyao River, this imperial city, almost more than twice the size of the imperial city in Kyoto, it can be said that it is the largest city known at present.

For the construction of the Imperial City, Lao Jiu almost invested in the capital, directly millions of NPC migrant workers, and the construction at the same time. There are those who quarry stones for the city walls, those who dig moats, those who build artificial lakes, and those who build palaces and various commercial streets.

It's not just NPC, in order to be in line with reality, Lao Jiu also hired a large number of players, some who are not interested in leveling up, and who want to make money, can come to work in the Xiaoyao Basin, which should be regarded as the place with the highest salary in the game.

In the Xiaoyao Basin, even the most ordinary workers are at least three hundred copper coins a day, and the price of those with craftsmanship is even higher, and Lao Jiu's daily salary is about one million gold coins, not counting the consumption of various materials and materials.

If everything is taken into account, the daily consumption of just building the Imperial City is about two million gold coins. The construction of the entire imperial city will take at least about three months, but fortunately, the entire Xiaoyao Basin has a suitable climate and four seasons like spring, which will not affect the progress of the construction period.

And after having money, Lao Jiu vigorously built all kinds of factories, whether it was daily necessities, food processing, and various ore refineries, which was a huge expense. At the same time, the largest investment in Lao Jiu belongs to the army, which is the biggest guarantee of the Lao Jiu regime.

Therefore, the conditions given to the army by Lao Jiu are the most superior. At present, Lao Jiu has a million troops in his hands, and there are more than 300,000 below level 30, and Lao Jiu's military salary can also be said to be the highest in the game.

From level 20 to level 30, the monthly salary is five to ten gold coins, and one gold coin for each higher level. And from level 30 to level 40, it is ten to twenty gold coins, and each level up, one gold coin is added. And above level 40, it is 30 gold coins, and each level increases by two gold coins.

Under such a high salary of Lao Jiu, all the soldiers in the army are desperately training and upgrading, if nothing else, the super high treatment alone is enough to make people envious. In addition to these, in terms of equipment, Lao Jiu also chose the best.

In addition to the Xiaoyao Basin, due to the influence of the two mountain ranges, the formation of the four seasons like spring, out of the Longkou Fortress, it will be affected by the weather, and it cannot be built normally, so in recent days, the major forces are crazy to find favorable terrain again.

Lao Jiu has a more important task, which is to build roads! As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is not without reason. And the first main road of Lao Jiuxiu is the road from Longkou Fortress to Qilin Pass.

This road has a very important military use, this is the main route to the prairie, so Lao Jiu has high planning requirements for this road, the main road is a four-meter-wide bluestone road, and the two sides are two-meter-wide dirt roads.

This is mainly designed for cavalry, and the bluestone road will hurt the hooves of the mount, and it will also affect the speed of the mount. If this road is built, it will only take more than a day to reach Qilin Pass from Longkou Fortress, which will sometimes play a decisive role in war.

The other roads outside the gate are currently developed by the players themselves, because there are more people walking, and there are naturally roads, so Lao Jiu focuses on the Xiaoyao Basin. The entire Xiaoyao Basin, east, west, north and south, spans hundreds of kilometers, so the construction of roads is very important.

The first thing to be repaired is the avenue from Longkou Fortress to the Imperial City. Then there is the main road, which leads to the surrounding gathering area. This can be said to be a very complex project, for which Lao Jiu has also established a department, the road transport department.

This department is mainly responsible for the construction of roads and the transportation management of traffic after completion. For example, the management of horse-drawn carriages and other means of transportation. Of course, for the development of the entire empire, it does not only rely on Lao Jiu, but mainly on the people.

In order to speed up the economic development of the Xiaoyao Empire, Lao Jiu also expressed some of his own opinions and estimates on the forum. Probably around the food supply, and when the war comes, the high profits.

First of all, as the player's level continues to increase, the excessive hunting of Warcraft will inevitably lead to the extinction of many animals, and it will also greatly reduce the supply of meat food. Even after the war, there was a shortage of meat.

Therefore, Lao Jiu vigorously advocates the development of animal husbandry, which can be said to be a leading cause. Another is the issue of food supply, which begins to run out of food as a large number of players enter the game.

If it weren't for the early stage of the game, there was a large amount of meat instead, it is estimated that there would have been a famine in the game, but with a large number of animals and monsters being hunted, if the food production still can't be raised, then, a large-scale famine is likely to occur in the game.

Therefore, Lao Jiu also encouraged a large number of wasteland cultivation within the empire, because grain will always be the most important strategic material, so it will never lose money.

Lao Jiu will also give a large number of preferential policies for the development of these two items in the Xiaoyao Empire, which is also Lao Jiu's main plan to attract investment and promote economic development. As long as there are people and economic development can keep up, then he is not afraid that the Empire will not develop.

Although Lao Jiu won't go to steal business, he also has his own methods. There are many consortia that came to the Xiaoyao Empire to sell Warcraft materials and corpses, and brought them to the Huaxia Empire for sale. And Lao Jiu was collectively purchased in Longkou Fortress, and the price was less than that of the mainland.

In this way, those caravans directly sold all the materials and corpses they purchased to Lao Jiu, which could save a lot of time, and for them, time is money, and they can make more money by using the extra time.

For the storage of meat and food, Lao Jiu attaches great importance to it, so he specially went up to the peak, built a large grain storage warehouse on the peak, and specially built a teleportation array, because ordinary people can't go up at all.

The top of the mountain is covered with ice and snow all year round, so it can be said to be a natural refrigerated place. And in terms of safety, not to mention, if you don't have a strength above level 60, you can't go up at all, so Lao Jiu is still very relieved.

At present, it can be said that the development of the Empire is the most unstable and eventful, and the players who can come to the Empire to develop are almost all above level 30. The level is inherently difficult to upgrade, and it can almost be said that it is piled up with the corpses of Warcraft, so all players cherish it.

Because the cost of death is too great, if it was the previous game, drop a level or something, it is estimated that the current Empire of Freedom would have been chaotic a long time ago, even so, there will be a lot of friction every day, fights and fights, almost all the time, which is inevitable.

As long as it doesn't hurt Lao Jiu's interests, Lao Jiu will turn a blind eye, anyway, the rivers and lakes are in trouble. All grievances, out of the Dragon's Mouth Fortress, even if you fight to the death. Lao Jiu won't ask.

At the same time that the old nine people threw the money down, the Xiaoyao Empire was changing every day, and in just half a month, the major roads had been built, and countless villages and towns had been built in the Xiaoyao Basin.

And the general outline of the Imperial City can be seen clearly. In the mining of a large amount of stone and timber, many hills have been smoothed and a large number of trees have been cut down. The basin is changing differently every day.

Today's Lao Jiu, almost to the point of exhaustion, almost all day spent in the game, a little time to take a break, if not the game, Lao Jiu estimated that he had lost a few laps. Not only Lao Jiu, but even a few girls are almost in a daze.

Now in the Huaxia Empire, all the industries outside the sky have been handed over to Calm and Long Xiaoyun to manage, and several of them have devoted themselves to the construction of the Xiaoyao Empire. If you want to say that the biggest change is none other than Lao Jiu's army.

Because the upgrade of the NPC army is diverse, in addition to hunting monsters, they also train in military training, training, and even hard work, as long as they can enhance their physique, they can increase their experience, and in a month, each person has been promoted by two levels on average.

After a month of development, Lao Jiu's underground military factory was officially completed. Especially after the completion of the two blast furnaces, the first batch of semi-finished products has been baked, and all of them have been transported to the Xiaoyao Basin for secondary processing.

This also means that the walls of Xiaoyao City can be built. Lao Jiu designed the city wall with the current concept, and then added the coolies in the game, it can be said that this is a magnificent project. The base of the city wall is 60 meters wide, and every 120 meters of enemy platforms has a base 100 meters wide.

The whole city wall is one hundred and fifty meters high, the interior is hollow, divided into three layers, there are attack battlements on the outside, as well as various attack mechanisms, the outermost layer of the city wall, all of which are ten meters thick reinforced concrete, which is currently only a black technology that the Empire has at present.

Lao Jiu's purpose is to build a giant city that is unbreakable in the whole game, and he wants to make the entire Easy City a miracle in the game, a miracle that cannot be surpassed.
