Chapter 606: Impact
After solving the security problem of the Talan tribe stranded in Youbeiping. A stone in the heart of a certain city lord fell to the ground.
Returning to the Wuhuan coalition army garrison outside Wuzhong County, he told the results of the negotiations with the Beiping Army, and Fton and the others were relieved. The five hundred Wuhuan war horses given to the Beiping Army, Ah Niu did not intend to let the Taran tribe pay, in his opinion, this is the bearing that a suzerain should have.
To tell the truth, even if there was no initiative of the Talan tribe to take refuge, the top-grade war horses that the tribe gave to Fengxiang City added up to more than a thousand. During this trip to Youzhou, the Flying Wing Battalion obtained more than 500 high-grade war horses from the Taran tribe, which could be used as a "commission" for the Beiping Army.
Ah Niu is not the kind of person who "can only rub rice and don't know how to entertain".
The official migration of the Taran tribe has finally reached the stage of concrete implementation.
After some deliberation, Fton returned to the tribe with 3,000 warriors and began to prepare for the great migration of the tribes, while Zaru and Qianluo stayed behind and took the remaining tribal warriors to Port-au-Prince with the winged battalion to set up a temporary camp. As everyone knows, the Taran tribe traveled from the Wuhuan steppe in the north to Fengxiang City in Qingzhou, and this great migration must be protracted, and it is necessary to establish a temporary camp.
Zilong's winged battalion was left behind. They will be temporarily stationed in Port-au-Prince, an arrangement that also shows the importance that Niu attaches to the Taran tribe: Zhao Yun led the Flying Wing Battalion to stay here, not only to deter those who intend to do bad things, but also to serve as a bridge between the Taran tribe and the Beiping army, reducing the possibility of conflict between the two sides before the migration process is completed.
Two days later, in the early morning, the fleet led by Jiang Qin appeared in the sea outside Port-au-Prince.
"Lord!"
As soon as the boat docked, Jiang Qin couldn't wait to jump off, and the young naval general was full of excitement. Jiang Qin's excitement is not difficult to understand, not only him, but also the deputy city lord of Fengxiang City, down to the ordinary villagers, are all happy for Fengxiang City to attract the Talan tribe to join!
Alien casting is a long-faced thing.
What's more, the Taran tribe is by no means an ordinary alien tribe, but a huge tribe with a population of more than 30,000!
Ah Niu smiled and said straight to the point: "It's quite fast." You also know the general situation, and now your task is to help the Taran tribe move in the shortest possible time. If the fleet is attacked at sea, you're in charge! ”
Jiang Qin snapped and stood still, "Don't worry, lord!" Raising troops for a thousand days, used for a while, the Canglan Sailor has not had the opportunity to show Xiàn since the formation of the army, if anyone really wants to fight the idea of our fleet, first ask the sailor boy if the knife agrees! ”
Under the excitement, Jiang Qin, who has always been honest in front of Ah Niu, showed the domineering and pride that a famous general of the navy should have. A certain city lord glanced at Jiang Qin with interest, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Before the move is over." There are no holidays for the Canglan Sailors. ”
"Yes!"
Looking at Jiang Qin's back as he strode away, a certain city lord couldn't help but smile bitterly at Zilong next to him, "Looking at him like this, it is estimated that Jiang Qin, this kid, really wants someone to fight the idea of a fleet at sea."
In terms of combat exploits, our Fengxiang troops, even the Canglan Naval Division have never had the opportunity to show their grandeur on the battlefield, and even the Shanzi Battalion has fought more battles than them; In terms of expenses, the military expenses and equipment of the Canglan Navy Division did not cost much, but if you add the cost of warships, the expenses of the Navy Division rank first, and it is estimated that this kid has always hoped to use his military exploits to correct the name of the Navy Division! ”
Ah Niu was impressed, and Sun Liang, the deputy city lord, once proposed to a certain city lord, "The Canglan Sailor has spent a lot of money, but has never proven his worth on the battlefield, can you consider disarming the Sailor, so that the territory can reduce the investment in the construction of warships to reduce the financial pressure?" ”
The implication is that Sun Liang clearly believes that Canglan Sailor is a typical representative of "high salary and low ability"!
A certain city lord can't blame Sun Liang for being "short-sighted", the financial situation of the territory has always been very tight, and Sun Liang, who controls the finances, hopes to temporarily dismiss the "unimportant" troops to reduce expenditures, which is also human nature.
Of course, it was impossible for Ah Niu to agree to Sun Liang's proposal, but in order to avoid too much irritation to this dutiful deputy city lord, Ah Niu just smiled and said, "This matter, you can discuss it with Pang Tong again, if you both think that you should disarm the water master, then sue me." ”
Ah Niu believed that it was impossible for Pang Tong not to be unaware of the importance of a powerful naval army to Fengxiang City, and Sun Liang's mention had obviously not been discussed with Pang Tong. Let him go to Pang Tong, so that Sun Liang can understand the importance of the water master. And being opposed by Pang Tong is always easier to digest than being opposed by A Niu.
When you are taught by your own teacher, you can laugh it off; Denied by the lord, the problem can be big or small!
As a lord, Ah Niu is very concerned about these details, perhaps this is an important reason why Fengxiang City has high satisfaction and high cohesion.
Since that time, Sun Liang really did not mention the disarmament of the naval division, and even the previous major expansion of the naval division, Sun Liang only fully cooperated.
Zhao Yun had obviously heard about this, understood Ah Niu's worries, and showed an extremely sunny smile, "Fourth brother doesn't need to worry, although Jiang Qin is young, his temperament is extremely calm. ”
"Oh, I hope so."
The fleet needs to transport back the 3,000 Wuhuan war horses that were given to them first, and only these 3,000 war horses are enough for the Fengxiang fleet to drink a pot, and roughly estimated, two trips will definitely not be finished. Since it was an empty ship, the time for unloading was saved, and the fleet dominated by the Canglan Navy Division only needed to lead the war horses onto the big ship, and did not waste much time.
At the moment of Shen Shi, after loading the nine hundred war horses, the fleet began to embark on the way home, accompanied by more than 100 clansmen led by Elder Qianluo, as well as representatives of the Namu tribe and the Niuye tribe.
The former, you need to rush to Jiuli Mountain Black Tiger Ridge. Fengxiang City has begun to mobilize a large number of villagers and craftsmen to help the construction of the Taran tribe camp, but the specific planning and details of the camp need to be led by Elder Qianluo.
The latter, for the upcoming trade cooperation, first went to Fengxiang to connect with the relevant personnel, and negotiated some details of trade cooperation, we are still the first time to cooperate, many details need to be scrutinized. After having a certain understanding of the operation mode of Fengxiang City, the cooperation between the Wuhuan tribe and Fengxiang City can reduce many unnecessary mistakes.
Xu Rong, who retired after success. It also returned with the ship, and according to the itinerary, the fleet will return to Qingzhou in two days.
The first to return to the territory is still Ah Niu, there is a big black walk, and the city lord of Fengxiang can come first.
In the sky above the inner city of Fengxiang, after a clear eagle cry, Ah Niu was already standing on the street. The villagers of Fengxiang have been accustomed to this, and once an adventure player questioned "whether a certain city lord is suspected of disturbing the people", he obviously overestimated the autonomy of ordinary NPCs in the game, and underestimated the absolute influence of Ah Niu in Fengxiang City.
The words of an NPC lady are more representative, "The big eagle of the Lord of Aniu City, if it doesn't land in Fengxiang City, does it have to land outside its own territory?" Poor boy, you shouldn't burn your brains. ”
The player burst into tears.
At this time, the villagers were talking to each other one by one.
"Look, the mounts that the city lord is traveling on are different from others!"
"Of course, the Heavenly Posture of the Lord of Aniu City is said to be a certain immortal in the sky."
"Pansi Daxian?" An adventurous player who settled in Fengxiang thought very obscenely......
Ah Niu didn't have time to care about the villagers' opinions on his own character for the time being, and the city lord's office, Sun Liang and Pang Tong were already waiting there.
In the past few days, Sun Liang has hardly rested for the affairs of the Talan tribe, but the exhaustion in his body was covered by the excited nerves, and as soon as a certain city lord walked into the office, Sun Liang stood up and said:
"My lord, the addition of the Taran tribe this time not only has far-reaching historical significance for Fengxiang, but will also lead to a series of changes in Fengxiang City in the military, commerce and other fields. All in all, it's a great opportunity! ”
Ah Niu and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and the two smiled knowingly. It seems that Sun Liang is also close to going crazy for the affairs of the Taran tribe, "Let's talk about it, what's the benefit." ”
Sun Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, talked eloquently.
Finance has always been the focus of Sun Liang's greatest concern, and this time is no exception.
"Finance: After the Talan tribe settles in Jiuli Mountain, it will bring more than 30,000 additional taxes to Fengxiang, although Fengxiang's tax rate is not high, but it is better than nothing. You must know that the vassal forces have their own family in the territory, and they usually have a high degree of autonomy, and when obtaining this additional tax, Feng Xiang does not need to bear the high salary of more than 30,000 people.
At the same time, there are more than 30,000 people in the Taran tribe, which is a market to be reckoned with, and they will consume all kinds of materials in their daily lives. Under normal circumstances, they would still follow the barter method of bartering, using the furs, livestock, meat, war horses, etc. Exchange urgently needed weapons, food, vegetables, fruits, furniture, medicines, and iron tools to the main city......
Since the Taran tribe is already a member of Fengxiang, the goods of Fengxiang and the Taran tribe are basically traded at cost price, and there is no direct benefit from the transaction, but cheaper raw materials and other resources will reflect the value in the next sales link, so that we can get more profits in foreign trade!
In addition, these transactions will strongly boost the production and consumption level of the territory, and at the same time contribute more tax revenue to the territory's finances, the wealth accumulation of the people will also be further enhanced! This is also in line with the policy of 'hiding wealth from the people' proposed by the lord.
In addition, some industries in the territory are constrained by market demand, and the arrival of the Taran tribe has changed this situation. Greater internal demand can also promote the growth of the number of artisan talents in the territory, as well as the improvement of the skill level of craftsmen......"
Sun Liang did not hide his joy, and the addition of the Taran tribe brought an opportunity for Feng Xiang that could not be ignored.
Sun Liang obviously didn't have a deep understanding of the impact of the military level, but one thing was clear to the deputy city lord: when necessary, Feng Xiang could mobilize more troops, and more than 65oo cavalry warriors of the Taran tribe improved Feng Xiang's military strength.
In peacetime, these cavalry also did not need Feng Xiang to pay military expenses, and the warriors of the Taran tribe provided their own horses and weapons, and they would be responsible for the safety of the tribe and would assist in the battle at the request of the lord. When fighting, the territory usually needs to pay a certain salary, but in terms of Feng Xiang's salary level, that commission is really not high.
This question is what Sun Liang is most concerned about!
If someone told him that "the soldiers of the Taran tribe should also be paid", I am afraid that Sun Liang would immediately faint foaming at the mouth.
The influence of the Taran tribe on Fengxiang at the military level is obviously not just as simple as having an additional cavalry unit, which is already related to Fengxiang's military layout, and in a certain way, it alleviates the lack of military strength due to the simultaneous operation of multiple territories in the territory.
The Taran tribe settled in the Black Tiger Ridge of Jiuli Mountain, and more than 65oo Wuhuan warriors were able to not only ensure the safety of the tribe, but even provide protection for the surrounding dependent territories. The town of Suruga, which was established in the Jiuli Mountains, and the towns of Baicao, Jiuli, and Sangzi at the foot of the mountains, are all within the protection of the Taran tribe.
Predictable. The Qingzhou territory will gradually form two major military strongholds: Fengxiang City and Heihuling.
This also means that Feng Xiang can take back more troops from the front line of Jiuli Mountain, whether it is for the defense of the territory or for external operations, Ah Niu has more choices. For this point, Ah Niu knows very well that before the Taran tribe completely settles down, the pattern of the two military strongholds in the Qingzhou territory cannot be formed, and it will take a certain amount of time.
Now the top priority is to do our best to help the Taran tribe complete the great migration, and the shortage of transportation capacity has become a key factor in determining the progress of the migration!
"Is there a way to build more ships in the short term?" Ah Niu asked in a deep voice.
Sun Liang hesitated for a moment, and shook his head helplessly, "My lord, the town has stopped the construction of warships, and only drove out some warships that were about to be completed, and did not waste time on military arrangements on the ships. The craftsmen of the dockyard have been working at full capacity, and in six days there will be a group of carpenters and shipbuilders with more than 100 apprentices, which will not be of much help to the dock. ”
The implication is that Jiang Qi's dock has reached its limit, and he is powerless.
Since the fishermen of the town migrated to Dongzhu Town, and the town specialized in shipbuilding, Fengxiang's training of carpenters and shipbuilders has not been interrupted, and the carpenters who can be mobilized in the territory have been exhausted, but the huge gap in talent cannot be filled in a short time.
Ah Niu frowned, "How many craftsmen can be accommodated in Exo Town now?" ”
"There were originally more than 2,400 craftsmen in the town, and the fishermen moved to Dongzhu Town to add more than 300 people, plus the talents who have been trained recently, the population of the town is only more than 500 people away from the upper limit, and after six days, this number will drop to less than 400, and the occupancy rate will be more than 90%.
However, the task of upgrading the town to a third-level township is underway, and we are quite sure that the task will be completed, and in thirteen days at the latest, the town will be upgraded to a third-level township, and the population limit will be increased from 4,000 to 8,000. Sun Liang already knew these situations, and as soon as Ah Niu's words fell, Deputy City Lord Sun immediately reported it.
Once the Exotic Town is upgraded, there will be a huge shortage of carpenters and shipbuilders!
A certain city lord laughed, "The upgrade mission of the foreign town must not fail, two days later, in addition to the eight hundred war horses brought back by Jiang Qin's fleet, there are more than three hundred talents of various professions, if I remember correctly, there are more than fifty carpenters, and although there are fewer shipbuilders, there are more than twenty people." ”
After a pause, Ah Niu added: "They are all middle and senior talents. ”
These craftsmen did not appear out of thin air, after the Wuhuan coalition army implemented the scorched earth policy in Youbeiping County, a large number of civilians were sent to Youzhou Mansion in exchange for food or other materials, including a large number of craftsmen. Ah Niu, who has always been "love is like life" and "compassionate", will naturally not give up this opportunity, in the spirit of humanitarianism, the city lord of Fengxiang left behind the middle and senior talents.
"Anyway, I left my hometown, instead of going to Liu Yu, it is better to settle down in my Fengxiang City. I'm paid a lot there! "At that time, the craftsmen who were terrified and didn't know whether they would live or die next, where could they resist the temptation of demons?
Of course, with Ah Niu's temperament, he didn't even want to let go of the junior craftsman talents, and it would be perfect if Gao Shun and Zhao Yun could choose the right soldiers from them. However, the pain and hesitation on Wuwang's face made Ah Niu, who has always "respected the old and loves the young", moved his heart of compassion, "Well, just kidding, I know that the coalition forces need these people in exchange for food, grass and supplies......"
-- It was precisely because of the need to bring back these talents that the Canglan Sailor had to carry more than 100 less war horses on his first trip, and only brought back 900 war horses.
Although war horses are expensive, after all, they can be measured in currency, and talent is priceless!
(The second update is coming, and there will be more in the evening!)
