In the middle of the night in Luoyang, most of them have fallen asleep, accompanied by the clear moonlight and a faint cool breeze, and unknown insects sing from time to time in the dark ruins, which makes people feel moved.

After drinking with Wang Yue, Li Qi and Liu Xing, Ah Niu's mind couldn't be calm.

During the banquet, when Ah Niu asked Wang Yue when he planned to enter Chongxiao Pavilion to cultivate, Wang Yue just shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, let's talk about it later." ”

Liu Xing, who was outspoken, said: "The fourth brother doesn't know, if the eldest brother can be promoted to the Earth Wandering Immortal, he won't be able to stay in the world for a long time. Our Fengxiang City is always remembered, and a few days ago, there were two big battles in succession, and the eldest brother was worried that after he left, our brothers would not be able to control the field, so the matter of entering Chongxiao Pavilion to cultivate has been delayed...... I really don't understand, after winning so many times, how can anyone dare to come and brush the tiger's whiskers. ”

When Liu Xing saw Wang Yue and Li Qi constantly signaling with their eyes, Fang Xing realized that he should not mention this matter in front of a certain city lord, which would make Ah Niu feel even more guilty about Wang Yue, but the words had already been spoken and could not be taken back. If it weren't for this little episode that affected everyone's feelings, the banquet would not have ended so quickly.

During the banquet, the third brother Liu Xing's unintentional words aroused a certain city lord's reflection on Feng Xiang's recent exhibition, as well as his thoughts on the future.

The exhibition momentum of the first city in the world is gratifying, and the future is bright, but the main driving force for the continuous development of the territory is not the hematopoietic function within the territory, but the external war. Throughout the history of Feng Xiang's exhibition, it can be simply summarized as a history of war, which is not difficult to appear. Fengxiang City, which has suffered many disasters and difficulties, can achieve today's achievements thanks to one war after another.

There is a golden house in the gun, and there is Yan Ruyu under the knife.

All kinds of industries can only keep Fengxiang's prosperity at a certain level, and what really makes the territory stride forward is war, almost every war. All of them have made Fengxiang gain huge benefits. Maybe. Only after the Harmony Chamber of Commerce opens up the situation can it be expected to change this situation.

Just in terms of results. The Fengxiang exhibition model is still to feed the war with war, rather than the so-called peace exhibition. This fact made Ah Niu, who claimed to be a "pacifist", quite helpless, God knew that Feng Xiang participated in the battle, and most of them were brought to the door by others, and Feng Xiang had to defend himself and fight back.

Unlike the invincible Dongzi's Bo Ancient City, Feng Xiang was not keen on exploiting other lords to increase his strength. Most of Feng Xiang's opponents are forces, especially the Yellow Turban Army. The benefits of defeating the forces are greater, but such a war is a one-shot deal after all, and the risks are enormous; The exhibition mode of Bo Ancient City is much more stable, every time you conquer a territory, you can continue to gain income from that territory, and as there are more and more vassal forces, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the expansion of Bo Gucheng's power will be faster and faster!

Two exhibition modes. It's like a robber who robs a house. One is a businessman who opens a shop and does business. Robbers do business, and every "business" is earned by playing with their lives. If you're not careful, you can't even keep the guy who eats; Businessmen have been doing business steadily, and if the business is good, they can expand their business scale and become a large organization such as a chamber of commerce, even if the business is poor, there is no need to worry about the danger of their lives when doing business.

When the robbers missed, Feng Xiang couldn't be so lucky in every war.

It is precisely because Ah Niu has this meaning that Feng Xiang rarely takes the initiative to wage war with the outside world, and Ah Niu does not want Feng Xiang's hot-blooded man to die because of this. In every war he has experienced, there is a reason to have to fight, and Ah Niu hopes that Feng Xiang's soldiers will be tough and ruthless in the war, so that those forces who are hostile to Feng Xiang will have scruples, so as to reduce the probability of Feng Xiang being involved in the war.

Although Feng Xiang gained great benefits in the war, a certain city lord actually did not like to solve the problem in the most brutal and direct way, and if there was another choice, Ah Niu usually would not choose "war".

War is for the long-term peace of the territory.

What is laughable is that Feng Xiang's enemies have not decreased because of this, but there is more and more trend, there will always be some inexplicable enemies who jump out and show their teeth and claws, or hide in dark corners and are ready to move.

The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and the dark clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it.

"The name of the first city in the world is really a big problem. How many people do you have to defeat to bring true peace to Feng Xiang? A certain city lord sighed that Feng Xiang's reputation and status among the lord players made some careerists among the lords think that defeating Feng Xiang would prove their strength, just like many warriors who are confident in their own strength usually challenge the recognized top masters to prove themselves, so as to become famous in the world.

Unless Feng Xiang walks down from the altar, such a situation will still occur, but that does not mean that Feng Xiang will be insulated from trouble from now on. The strong have the trouble of the strong, the weak have the trouble of the weak, some people have struggles, and in troubled times, if you can't firmly control your fate in your own hands, then you must be mentally prepared to be trampled under the feet of others!

Ah Niu will never tolerate Feng Xiang being slaughtered by others, this has been the case since the time of Feng Xiang Village, and it has not changed. Thinking of this, Ah Niu no longer feels that fame is a burden, and the previous loss and confusion are gone, and he lets go of his heart and feels relaxed.

A sneer swept up at the corner of a certain city lord's lips.

"Don't you just want to climb up on Fengxiang, I want to see, who has the ability to get what they want? If killing a hundred opponents isn't enough for them to learn to be good, then keep killing until they learn to be good and no one comes to show off their might! ”

On this night, Ah Niu's state of mind finally changed.

The sky gradually brightened, the peace of Luoyang City was broken, and a new day came.

The reconstruction of Luoyang City is a long process, when Dong Zhuojun left Luoyang, there were no other buildings in the city that could be used except for the ruins and ruins of the former royal capital, and everything needed to be started from scratch.

In fact, the process of rebuilding Luoyang was very difficult, far more difficult than the new territory with nothing. The new territory is a little dilapidated, but it's nothing. As soon as Qiē will slowly get better, any building in the reconstruction site of Luoyang City must first clean up the ruins like a hill, which takes a lot of time and energy.

So far, a small area in the center of Luoyang has recovered some weather. However, the ruins of most areas of the city have yet to be cleared. Stand at the most prosperous street corner. You can see the rubble and smoke in the distance. Chen Shuo arranged a large number of people to clean up the ruins, which cost the project. It occupies more than forty percent of Luoyang's daily expenses, and it will be for a long time in the future. The center of gravity of the reconstruction will not change.

After being upgraded to a second-tier city, Luoyang's population limit reaches 50,000, and if you want the population of the territory to meet the upgrade conditions, it is not enough to rely on the displaced people who refresh normally. Ah Niu is seriously considering whether it is necessary to invest more in Luoyang. In terms of talents, the Heqi Chamber of Commerce is enough to meet the basic needs of Luoyang, but the population and capital, Luoyang's existing family resources are not enough to meet the city's exhibition needs.

On the issue of Luoyang's reconstruction task, Feng Xiang is now faced with two choices: is it to go with the flow and let Luoyang develop normally step by step? Or will you continue to invest in the progress of the chain of quests as much as possible to get the final reward as soon as possible?

Ah Niu had a headache because of this.

Luoyang did not belong to Fengxiang in the past, and it will be even more so in the future. In the history of Luoyang. Fengxiang City is destined to be only a passerby. When the mission is over, will the huge Luoyang City still leave the imprint of Fengxiangdi. We don't know.

Is it worth the continuous investment to speed up the city's land exhibition?

Before making a decision, Ah Niu found Chen Shuo, and with his understanding of Luoyang, he should be able to provide Ah Niu with useful construction. Chen Shuo did not directly answer a certain city lord's question, but asked Ah Niu to climb the city wall of Luoyang.

Luoyang East Wall.

When the Yellow Turban Army besieged Luoyang, this was the place where the battle was fiercest, and a large number of soldiers on both sides died here. The corpses of the fallen soldiers will be refreshed by the system after an hour, including the blood will be turned into nothingness, those days and nights, the eastern city wall was stained red with blood several times, Ah Niu had personally experienced that battle, and he still remembers it vividly.

Standing on the city wall, Chen Shuo smiled and said: "Lord, the city wall of Luoyang is much higher and stronger than Fengxiang. ”

Ah Niu didn't understand what Chen Shuo meant by bringing himself here, nor did he figure out how Chen Shuo answered the question, and he digressed to talk about the city wall of Luoyang, but looking at Chen Shuo's appearance, it was not untargeted. Ah Niu said lightly: "Well, that's good." ”

The tentacles touched the battlements on the head of the city, and Ah Niu continued: "All the buildings in Luoyang City have been burned, only this city wall is still there, I heard that the city wall of Chang'an has not yet completed the expansion, and there is the only ninth-level stone city wall in the country." Our Fengxiang was able to win the battle of the Yellow Turban Army besieging Luoyang, in addition to the soldiers of all departments fighting regardless of their territory, this ninth-level city wall also brought great trouble to the Yellow Turban Army.

Based on the comparison of the strength and combat effectiveness of the enemy and us at that time, if Fengxiang City was attacked, it would have been a miracle that the defenders could hold the city wall line for two hours. The nine-level city wall made the Yellow Turban Army have to tie multiple ladders together, which greatly reduced their landing points, and fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to stay outside Luoyang City for a long time, waiting to build more cloud ladders before attacking, otherwise, we would have already lost the war.

Is this related to the question I just had? ”

Chen Shuo said solemnly: "The lord looks at the value of the ninth-level city wall in Luoyang from a military point of view, but his subordinates look at the value of the city wall from an economic point of view. The most troublesome part of Luoyang's reconstruction work is to clean up the ruins, so that our reconstruction costs cannot be reduced, but Luoyang has also saved us a huge fortune, which is this city wall!

How much time, manpower, and money will it take to build a ninth-level city wall! With this wall, Luoyang City will spread faster than any other city, and the cost of meeting the upgrade conditions will be less than that of any other city!

If there is more support in terms of population and funds, our subordinates can guarantee that in another year at most, the scale of Luoyang will exceed that of our main city. At that time, Luoyang will become Fengxiang's population and talent reserve, closer to the final reward of the reconstruction task, and can also accumulate experience for the exhibition of the main city! ”

The young Chen Shuo's eyes were full of flying light, and it could be seen that this high-ranking official was eager to try this matter, and he was the third deputy city lord of Fengxiang City. is already almost obsessed with Luoyang's tomorrow.

Ah Niu couldn't help but be moved, and Chen Shuo's words made his heart pound.

Prior to this, Ah Niu's emphasis on Luoyang could not be compared with the two major territories of Fengxiang and Longfei, which also led to Fengxiang's limited investment in Luoyang. For Ah Niu. No matter how well Luoyang is built, it is not its own. Feng Xiang's financial situation is not well-off, and the limited funds must be prioritized for Feng Xiang and Long Fei. Luoyang will have to hand it over sooner or later, why spend so much money?

That's why. When the serial quest requires the scale of Luoyang City to be increased, Ah Niu will hesitate. The population problem is not so easy to solve, and it is only possible to achieve it through the transportation of urban land in Fengxiang.

Chen Shuo sees one thing very accurately: Luoyang's exhibition is faster than any city, and the upgrade cost is lower than that of any city!

The reason is the ninth-level city wall of Luoyangdi!

Provinces are upgraded to the city phase. The longest and most expensive building is the stone city wall, from level 1 to level 9, the amount of work is greater and the cost is more and more every time. Judging from Fengxiang's first two upgrades, the final upgrade conditions reached are not population or talent, but a big project such as the city wall.

The city wall of Luoyang does not need to be upgraded, which is a unique advantage that no territory can match. This advantage. It has been decided that Luoyang may become the fastest upgraded city under the control of lord players!

The faster Luoyang's exhibition. The closer you get to getting the Rebuild Quest rewards!

The higher the level of Luoyang, the faster it will attract displaced people and talents. The investment in the early stage will pay off one day!

There are also some advantages that are difficult to estimate, such as completing the reconstruction task to add points to Fengxiang's prestige, and after the scale of Luoyang City exceeds Fengxiang, Fengxiang is expected to know the problems that should be paid attention to in the next stage of the territory, so as to make corresponding preparations in advance.

From this moment on, Luoyang's status was the same as that of Feng Xiang and Long Fei until the end of the Luoyang mission. During this period, the Territory will provide Luoyang with sufficient funds for reconstruction, as well as other necessary assistance, and your priority is to speed up the construction of Luoyang. "Ah Niu never drags mud and water.

Chen Shuo raised his hand, "Don't worry, my subordinates will not be disappointed!" ”

Ah Niu smiled faintly and directly traded a sum of money to Chen Shuo, which was the reward that Long Fei received from the Liangzhou player coalition in the first battle, and after leaving the necessary funds for Chen Gong, Ah Niu took two million of them. Originally, Ah Niu planned to bring the money back to Fengxiang City, so that Sun Liang, who was worried about money all day long, was happy, but he deserved the bad luck of Deputy City Lord Sun and was intercepted by Deputy City Lord Chen.

"How far is Luoyang from the requirements of upgrading to a third-level city?"

"The only thing left in the building is that the moat has not yet been completed, this is a big project, the scale of the city wall in Luoyang determines the size of the moat, and now there is enough money to guarantee it, and the subordinates guarantee that it will be completed within a day; The difference in population is also very large, the upper limit of the population of the second-tier city is 50,000, and the total population of Luoyang is now less than half of the upper limit; The last problem comes from the craftsmen, there is no shortage of talents in the main city, but there is one talent that is very scarce, and a certain building cannot be used. ”

Feng Xiang has a lot of craftsmen, and the skill level is relatively high, Feng Xiang lacks not many skilled talents, a city lord rolled his eyelids, and asked: "You don't have to worry about the population problem, I'll find a way." Which building is unusable, temple? It's still in research

"Temple."

When Fengxiang City was promoted, it took a lot of trouble to find the monks, and in the end, the martial artists found a broken temple in the deep mountains near the state capital, and "invited" the junior monk named Huiming to the territory. It's not so much an invitation, it's better to call it a robbery, Fengxiang City just took Huiming out of the temple gate, and saw the people of the two second-tier cities following closely, if it weren't for the prestige of Fengxiang City, maybe those two territories had already made a brazen move.

Comparatively speaking, although the compound talents needed by the research center are also difficult, it is not difficult to do it with the thickness of Fengxiang's talents, even if the strength of the territory is average, as long as there is enough patience, it can always be cultivated over time.

But the monks are different, and the number is pitifully small. There are also a lot of territories in the second-tier cities, but there are few monks who really get them, and most of the places where the monks are found are inaccessible deep mountain and wild temples, and the number of monks in the temple is definitely less than or equal to one. The quantity is not large, the quality is not good, and the skill level of the monks who are found is only rudimentary, and it is impossible to solve the problem by trying to figure out the way of guò to accept disciples.

Ah Niu has never seen a skilled talent that is more difficult to find than a monk, and the difficulty of a monk is far beyond everyone's imagination, including Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who also sighed about it.

Ah Niu suspects that the system may be deliberately controlling the quantity and quality of certain professional talents, and even allowing lord players to kill each other for snatching rare talents, so as to achieve the purpose of stifling the exhibition of lord players and prolonging the life cycle of the game. The monks of the second-tier city may just be the beginning of the conspiracy!

Some players believe that this may be related to the fact that Buddhism has just been introduced to China, and it has only been more than 120 years since the tenth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

These are just speculations, and the fact is not clear, but it is a recognized fact that it is difficult for monks to get started.

Fengxiang City already has monks, but the monk indicators of Long Fei and Luoyang still need to be worked on, a certain city lord can't cry or laugh, one monk is still difficult to find, and the difficulty of two monks is ...... It can well be imagined. "Aren't there any monks near Luoyang?"

"We have sent some martial artists into the mountains to search, but so far to no avail."

Chen Shuo's words made Ah Niu a little disappointed, and Long Feicheng also sent a large number of people to search for the monks, but to no avail. A humble gentleman like Chen Gong is also a little uncontrollable, the Dark Flower Liangzhou Department has begun to secretly explore the territory of the Liangzhou Lord player, its purpose is self-evident, once the target is present, the elite Dark Flower Martial Arts may also degenerate into kidnappers.

Chen Shuo saw that Ah Niu frowned and was silent, so he continued: "My lord, my subordinates have asked some merchants about the whereabouts of the monks. A businessman in Xuzhou said that Xiapi Xiangrong was obsessed with Buddhism, and cultivated Buddhist temples in Xiapi, and asked the people of Xiapi to read Buddhist scriptures day and night, and the monks, nuns and Buddhists from nearby states and counties rushed to move into Xiapi County, up to more than 5,000 households before and after, and every time the Buddha was born, Zhenrong would hold a Buddha bathing party, and the cost of setting up a banquet on the side of the road alone was hundreds of millions.

If this is true, there should be a lot of monks in Xiapi County, and there are also many monks with higher skill levels. Therefore, a few days ago, his subordinates sent two martial artists to Xiapi to find out, maybe when they come back, they will bring some good news. ”

As a fan of the Three Kingdoms, Ah Niu is no stranger to the deeds of Zhenrong, this is a mysterious character.

This Danyang people wantonly kill, betraying the Lord and eating friends, but he is also famous for his belief in Buddhism, vigorously promoting Buddhism in the jurisdiction, ordinary people who believe in Buddhism can be exempted from forced labor, there is such a local governor who worships Buddha, Xiapi has naturally become a paradise for Buddhists, attracting a large number of monks and nuns to Xiapi. In the Han Dynasty, the folk built Buddhist shrines and practiced Buddhism from the beginning of Zhenrong here.

Chen Shuo's arrangement was very appropriate, but Ah Niu did not dare to be too optimistic about this matter.

Everyone knows that there are many monks in Xiapi County, why are there still so many lords of second-tier cities who keep complaining that monks are difficult to find? Could it be that there is a secret in it that Ah Niu doesn't know yet?

"You have to hurry up about the monk's affairs, and tell me as soon as you have news." Ah Niu said lightly.

"Yes!"

: Yesterday, I put an oolong again, and wrote Zhang San as Tai Shici.

There is nothing to say, only to turn grief and anger into food, nibble on an extra bowl of rice, brothers and sisters forgive the couple......
