Chapter 304
"Are there any dragons among the beasts?" Ye Feng was really curious.
Wang Yi nodded: "It's a legendary creature that looks like a giant lizard, and it doesn't have the blood of a divine dragon."
"Legendary creatures?"
"That's right, the so-called legendary creatures are creatures that have legendary combat power beyond the ninth order when they are adults. Many animals are more talented than humans, and mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes have mythical combat power when they reach adulthood, which is beyond the reach of countless people in their lifetimes. Wang Yi was a little shhh
"Shhh Ye Feng felt that he had opened his eyes again, it turned out that human beings might be the weakest opponents in the future, whether it was an otherworldly creature or a native creature, there were extremely terrifying species.

A few days passed, and the funeral of Emperor Ling of Han was hastily completed, and the young emperor Liu Ban ascended the throne with the support of the ministers of the court.
Dong Zhuo was appointed as the minister of state "under one person, above ten thousand", and enjoyed privileges such as "praise and worship without a name, enter the dynasty without trending, and go to the palace with a sword".
At the same time, all parts of the dynasty began to spread the retrograde of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and careful players have found some anomalies, and many NPC forces are preparing to fight against Dong.
**
A few days later, after arranging the affairs of Zhang'an County, Ye Feng took Wang Yi back to Endless City.
After several expansions, the city is already a county seat that is close to full.
Looking at the city gate in front of him, which is more magnificent than Zhang'an County, Ye Feng is very proud, all of this has been developed by him little by little.
The gate of the city was as crowded as the previous county seat of Zhang'an, but most of them were plainly dressed people.
The occasional appearance of a few brightly dressed lords will immediately attract the envy of the people around them.
Wang Yi lined up behind the line entering the city, and Ye Feng had nothing to do.
He didn't plan to be too ostentatious, just to observe the changes in the city at these times.
"Grandpa, the people in the city are really rich!" A child's crisp voice came from the front.
Then came an old man's deep voice: "Yes! After two years, you can come to live in the city. ”
"Really?"
"Yes, as long as you study hard."
"Great!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly, most of these people were refugees who had just joined the territory.
Since the city is still only a county seat, the upper limit of the population is only one million, so nearly a million people have not yet been naturalized, and can only disperse the gathering places around the county seat.
Through the relief and policy support of the territory, these people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and many of them can still have some spare money to buy some non-essential goods in the county.
At the same time, a library has been established in these gathering places, and next year it will be possible for underage children to receive enlightenment education.
Looking at the orderly scene around him, Wang Yi felt a little incredible.
Many of the people here seemed to be wealthy, but unlike the shallow wealthy families he had seen, everyone was humble and polite.
If he hadn't known that these people were all bitter paupers when they first joined the territory a few years ago, he would have thought that there were many people from the family hidden here.
Although there are no lack of arrogant and rude people in the family, their temperament is also very different from that of ordinary rich people.
"Looks like I'm overthinking!" Wang Yi arched his hand.
Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "Although what Mr. said has not appeared for the time being, it has to be prevented in advance."
Wang Yi had told him before that although he was also in favor of the policy of exempting agricultural taxes, it was bound to make many of his citizens rich quickly.
As a result, there will be many problems, such as the over-indulgence of the rich and the waste of territorial resources; His temperament became arrogant and greedy, and he lost his bottom line as a man; Wait a minute.
However, this situation has long appeared in reality, how many people who became rich overnight in the initial stage of China's development eventually went to the abyss?
Ye Feng has foreseen this, he believes that there are two main factors in this situation, one is that the cultural heritage is not enough, and the other is that he is too idle, and if he is idle for a long time, it will be troublesome.
The literacy campaign in the territory initially supplemented their cultural heritage, and there were many people in the family of this era who could not read all the words.
Three years ago, as soon as the trend of extravagance emerged, he Ye Feng announced a new policy.
According to the wealth status of the people, it is divided into three grades, the first grade is the top 20% of the wealthy households, and every healthy adult man in the family has to go to the military camp every year to receive a three-month special training;
The second grade is the top 50% of the middle households, and the special training time is two months, and the third grade, that is, the poor households below 50%, the special training time is one month.
And you must follow the army to participate in the work of cleaning up the strange beasts.
This kind of special training is not for them to be transferred to soldiers, and professional soldiers cannot lack daily training, otherwise the rank will gradually decline.
This will not only allow them not to have much time to do things, but also allow them to fully see the dangers of the outside world, and realize that the territory is still very weak and far from being comfortable.
This policy is currently only implemented in the city of Restless, and it will definitely be extended to the entire territory in the future.
In the lobby of the Lord's Mansion, after listening to Ye Feng's story, Wang Yi's eyes flashed with a different color: "My lord is far-sighted, this move is very good!"
Although it is essentially a policy similar to military service, it is definitely a whimsical idea to divide military service according to wealth.
And for most people, one month of special training a year will not have much impact on their work.
"However, last year, there were only about 200,000 people in the city, and the maximum number of people in each special training was about 10,000. This year, at least 150,000 people have not participated in the special training, and it is difficult for the army in the city to take care of them. Zhou Wei reminded.
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "Appoint Li Kui as the commander of the Second Army Corps, and recruit five thousand soldiers first."
As for the first legion, of course, it is the Ye family army led by Wu Ming, which is now trapped in Youzhou by the snow disaster.
At present, there are more than 3 million people in the entire territory, and there are less than 20,000 soldiers, of which more than 5,000 are in Zhang'an County, which is responsible for guarding Zhang'an City; Huang Shan, the county lieutenant of Restless, also had 5,000 men and horses, responsible for guarding the city and cleaning up the surrounding foreign beasts.
Therefore, the manpower was originally a little stretched, and with 5,000, a maximum of 20,000 people could be trained at the same time.
However, things can only be done slowly, and too many soldiers can not be trained at once.
But thinking that there were hundreds of thousands of potential troops, Ye Feng felt that the territory was finally no longer as weak as before.
"How is Bridgehead Town now?" Ye Feng asked.
The city is only a county seat, with three town-level and nine village-level subordinate territories.
Qiaotou Town is the only subordinate territory of Endless City, located on the edge of the Great Wilderness, close to the county seat of Zhang'an.
"Since Zhang'an County joined the territory, Qiaotou Town has become an important trading place.
Every day, a large number of people from the villages and towns affiliated to Zhang'an County come to trade, and recently many people have received many applications for naturalization. ”
Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, there are definitely many people who want to stay away from natural disasters after the snowstorm, especially since the two places belong to the same territory.
At the beginning, Qiaotou Town only took a month to become a high-level town, Ye Feng had to sigh that it was good to have a backstage, thinking that it took him more than half a year to upgrade the territory to a high-level town.
Thinking of the nearly one million people outside the city who have not yet become naturalized, it is difficult to generate firm loyalty without household registration, Ye Feng feels that this is always a hidden danger.
However, the city will definitely not become a county town in the short term, and the only way to do this is to add new vassal territories.
This coincides with Wang Yi's suggestion, based on the affiliated territories, and steadily opens the road to explore the Great Wilderness.
