"My lord, there is Jiuli Mountain in front. We're getting home! ”

Diyun was very happy that he could finally end this marathon with turtles. Ah Niu and his entourage finally saw Jiuli Mountain, at this time, it had been 15 days since they came out of Luoyang.

Don't doubt it, a full 15 days!

With the degree of ink wind, Ah Niu only needs 2 days to complete this distance day and night, and even the most ordinary cavalry of the Flying Wing Battalion can complete this distance in 6 to 7 days while riding a Wuhuan war horse.

The reason why it is so slow is because of Cai Yan.

The quality of the stagecoach is not as good as the Fengxiang war horse, not to mention that the inferior horse has to pull the cart, and the carriage is naturally not fast. If these problems can be overcome, Lu Zhi can't bear to let the delicate Cai Wenji travel day and night, and every day he finds a place to rest early, and the return to the city is slow.

Along the way, Cai Yan always poked his little head out of the carriage and looked around. The mountains in the distance, the weeds on the roadside, the creek as far as the eye can see, and even the scene of the farmer driving a big ox to plough the land can make Cai Yan excited for a long time. On the way, the carriage often stopped. Cai Yan would jump out of the car briskly, or pick a few dogtail plants on the side of the road, or try to play with a flower dog she met on the road.

Cai Yan is becoming more and more cheerful, and the grievances she suffered in Luoyang, as well as the pressure that should not be borne by her, are slowly moving away with the naked eye. Ah Niu and Lu Zhi are also very pleased with this, especially Lu Zhi, seeing that his friend's beloved daughter has gradually come out of sadness and is becoming happier and happier, Lu Zhi seems to be a few years younger.

From a certain point of view, isn't Luoyang a sad place for Lu Zhi? Isn't it a new beginning to Fengxiang?!

As time passed, Ah Niu's relationship with Lu Zhi and Cai Yan became closer and closer.

Although Lu Zhi has not decided to join Fengxiang now, this settlement can be regarded as Lu Zhi's test of Fengxiang, to be precise, a test of the lord of Fengxiang, Ah Niu. Lu Zhi's attitude towards Ah Niu was not bad, and during this period of riding together, the distance between the two was shortened by three points.

Cai Yan is a little different, in fact, in the first two days, Cai Yan did not have contact with Ah Niu at all, not because a certain city lord annoyed her, or to avoid suspicion, Wen Ji didn't want to be jealous under the nose of Uncle Lu, who was also a Confucian with his father. But the young heart is always not so peaceful, not to mention that there are only a few people in the team, except for Lu Zhi, Cai Yan's second familiar person is Ah Niu, and slowly the laughter of the two of them came and went. Lu Zhi just smiled at this, Cai Yan went to Qingzhou Fengxiang with him to avoid trouble, and secondly, to distract himself, of course Lu Zhi didn't want to be too harsh.

A few people went on unhurriedly until the group expanded three days ago. Di Yun who brought the Xiqiang war horse back to the territory safely. didn't bother to rest at all, and led the Flying Wing Battalion to respond. With the addition of more than 300 cavalry soldiers, Cai Yan realized that it was quite inappropriate to let so many soldiers suffer with him, so he made the progress of the trip much faster.

In the last three days, a third of the way has been traveled, twice as much as before.

This kind of degree made Ah Niu breathe a sigh of relief, after leaving Fengxiang for so long, Ah Niu couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back. But in any case, it is impossible for Ah Niu to leave Lu Zhi and Cai Yan to return to the city alone at this time, if these two people can become outright Fengxiang people, even if a certain city lord is accompanied to a national tour, Ah Niu will not have a word.

Talent is the most valuable!

15 days is enough to give birth to a lot of things, for example, 13 more city-level territories have been added to the game, plus the previous six city lords, there are now 19 lord cities.

Maybe the lord players have accumulated to a blasting point, or maybe there are already six lord players who have upgraded their territories to cities, and the later territories no longer need to face the difficulty bonus of the upgrade test, and in recent times, more and more territories have been upgraded to first-class cities, and they have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Of the 13 emerging territories, only one new city was added to Qingzhou, and Huoyun Town, the town of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, became the 17th first-class city in the country with the support of Feng Xiang. Such an achievement is obviously a bit unreasonable, after all, in terms of experience and talents, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has received a lot of help from Ah Niu, which has made Huoyun Town take a lot of detours.

But from another point of view, due to the existence of Fengxiang in Qingzhou, many territories adjacent to Fengxiang have been greatly affected, especially in terms of talent and population! You must know that the population of Fengxiang not only comes from the homeless people and the people with the Yellow Turban, but also a considerable number of villagers who made a special trip to Fengxiang from other places!

The longer the game goes on. The number of displaced people attracted by the territory of Chengdù determines the level of the territory. This is also why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had always been excellent, only ranked 17th this time!

Emperor Wu of Han's territory was too close to Fengxiang, more than a hundred miles away.

Just one day before Ah Niu, Lu Zhi, Cai Wenji and the others returned to Fengxiang, the first and so far the only city-level territory appeared in Liangzhou, and this lord Ah Niu was no stranger.

This is the Kyushu no photo in Beiyuan Town.

The hand in hand of Kyushu no camera and powerful vacuum cleaner, a certain city lord knew nothing, so when Ah Niu heard on the road that Beiyuan Town had also been successfully upgraded to a city, he was somewhat surprised. Beiyuan Town, like Fengxiang, has a special building to hide the soldiers, which also makes Beiyuan in the Yellow Turban Battle, in a way similar to the ruthless army, and the troops rushed into the top ten of the merit list after paying a heavy price.

This kind of method is something that Ah Niu is unwilling to try.

In Ah Niu's impression, the lord of Beiyuan is synonymous with "killing", but the upgrade of Beiyuan Town to Beiyuan City made a certain city lord immediately correct his opinion.

"It is impossible for a brave and resourceful person to raise the territory to the city level so quickly! It's not so easy to complete the transformation from mayor to lord......"

This is the reason why Ah Niu changed his opinion.

I have to admit that the shining points of a certain city lord happen to include "never despise any opponent", constantly deducing some useful information from the clues, and then correcting his judgment.

Although he later learned that Beiyuan was upgraded so quickly and did not just rely on his own strength, Ah Niu only smiled indifferently. Imagining your opponent as strong as possible will undoubtedly make you more cautious and focused in your response, and even if there is a suspicion of "using too much force", it is better than carelessness in the gutter to capsize.

Liangzhou's first city-level territory has finally appeared.

Ah Niu only hopes that the lord players of Liangzhou can expand faster, only in this way, when the special territory Longfei is upgraded to a city, it is possible to make a smooth transition and get more space and time to expand!

At the foot of Jiuli Mountain, it was not far from Fengxiang, and an hour later, Ah Niu and the others finally returned to Fengxiang City. More than two months have passed since the last time I left Fengxiang.

Haven't returned to the city yet. Ah Niu had already felt the external changes in Feng Xiang.

The construction of the Chi Road in the first-class city has completed the main road of the two major sections of "Fengxiang City - Jiuli Town", which is the most huge project. After the construction of the main road, the construction of the branch road is relatively easy, but even so, it is estimated that the construction of the entire Chi Road will be completed in two months; However, the stone wall of Fengxiang City is progressing well, and more than eighty percent of the work has been completed, and the next work can be completed within a month.

Outside Fengxiang City, it had already been crowded with hundreds of villagers, and the news of the lord's return soon spread throughout the territory. Every villager who sees Ah Niu will not be stingy with smiles and greetings.

"Hello Niu-sama!"

"Hello adults!" ……

The sound was deafening.

Ah Niu smiled and waved to the nearby villagers, and at the same time signaled Pang Tong and the others who came to greet him to go directly to the city lord's office, and the villagers who had leisure poured out of the city gate. The whole Fengxiang is like a festival, filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

"Ah Niu actually has such a high reputation in Fengxiang, it's really incredible. What did he do to be respected by so many people in his realm? "Lu Zhi has the ability to recognize people, and the Fengxiang villagers have come out to support Ah Niu, obviously from the heart, and Lu Zhi is now curious about a certain city lord.

Lu Zhi now understands a little why Ah Niu didn't stay at the city gate for a long time just now, and he didn't even introduce himself and the heads of important departments in Fengxiang City. With the current bustle in Fengxiang City, it is estimated that if Ah Niu stays at the city gate for a few more minutes, he can't expect to return to the office soon.

Ah Niu called Sun Liang and asked this internal affairs official after Chen Gong to arrange the residence of Cai Yan and Lu Zhi first, and he was very concerned about these two people and a certain city lord. Lu Zhi came to Fengxiang to settle down rather than become a monk, and it was not something that Ah Niu could command at will, and Cai Meinu worked all the way, running around for half a month. It's time for a good rest.

"My residence is not in a hurry, and there is nothing to do horizontally and vertically, if it is convenient, I will follow Ah Niu to see Fengxiang's situation first." Lu Zhi said with a smile.

In this regard, a certain city lord naturally does not have any opinions. With Lu Zhi's character and relationship with Ah Niu, there is really nothing in Feng Xiang's affairs that Ah Niu is unwilling to share with.

"That's good. After Sun Liang arranged Miss Cai Yan's residence, he immediately went to the city lord's office. After dropping this sentence, a certain city lord led a group of people straight to the office.

When he came to the city lord's office, before he entered the door, he saw that Wang Yue, Liu Xing and Zhao Xue were already waiting in the office. Seeing Ah Niu appear, Zhao Xue said to Wang Yue proudly: "Brother Wang lost again this time!" I'll just say, after Brother Niu comes back, he must go to the city lord's office first, not the city lord's mansion. ”

"How can Xiao Xue be so sure, aren't the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord's Office both the fourth brother's office? The environment of the City Lord's Mansion is much better than this place. Wang Yue asked with a bitter face and pity.

Zhao Xue blinked, "Isn't this simple?" It's because the City Lord's Mansion is too magnificent. That's why Brother Ah Niu didn't like to go, but opened the City Lord's Mansion to all Fengxiang people, and usually when dealing with affairs in the territory, it was in the City Lord's Office. It's been two months, and if the first thing he does after coming back isn't coming here, then he's not Brother Niu. Zhao Xue chuckled.

Wang Yue squeezed his eyes at Ah Niu, "I lost to Xiaoxue again, and I don't seem to have won yet." ”

Of course, a certain city lord knew that Wang Yue actually deliberately lost to Zhao Xue many times, could it be that the grand master still had to be more serious with a little girl? However, this kind of thing can't be said in front of Zhao Xue, otherwise it may not be possible to tell a certain city lord how to get out, Ah Niu smiled, "Hehe, the eldest brother has not been in the territory for a long time, unlike Xiaoxue who has stayed in the territory for a long time, Feng Xiang doesn't seem to have much to hide from her." ”

"My lord."

Pang Tong's voice came from behind him, and the expression on his face was extremely painful, as if he was enduring the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty. A certain city lord was taken aback and hurriedly asked with concern:

"What's wrong?"

"Is it okay for the lord not to block the entrance to the door? When everyone was waiting for the lord outside the city, they had already stood for most of the day, and finally had the opportunity to go in and sit and rest, but they were blocked outside by the lord. The lord was not so cruel before! ”

"And there are two more guests, the lord hasn't introduced them yet."

Outside the office, there was a low laugh of Lu Han and the others.

Ah Niu also smiled and walked to the side, letting the passage in front of the door, "It seems that Shiyuan's life has been quite monotonous recently, and he can't stand it after standing for a while, so it can't go on like this." In this way, Gao Shun, you will work hard, and tomorrow you will help Shi Yuan to rebuild his muscles and bones, and let him experience the life of being trapped in the camp for a day. ”

Gao Shun was behind Pang Tong, and said with a forced smile: "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely complete the task, let Mr. Pang have a good activity!" ”

Gao Shun, who has always been taciturn, actually understands such a routine? Under the strong contrast, Lu Han and the others could no longer control it, and the laughter suddenly seemed like a dam bursting the embankment. Out of control.

The only one who didn't smile was Pang Tong, who buried his head in a bitter face and was silent. Although what Ah Niu said just now is just a joke, it is not impossible to make it true, and life in the camp is not so easy to experience. Pang Tong very wisely began to play pitiful.

The harmonious relationship between Ah Niu and his subordinates opened Lu Zhi's eyes, for this NPC talent, it is rare for a master like Ah Niu to have no frame and be so close to his subordinates. Such a united territory can naturally burst out with amazing vitality, which is also the reason why Feng Xiang has repeatedly turned danger into disaster when he has encountered many times of military pressure and the territory is in danger of being overturned at any time.

When Ah Niu introduced Lu Zhi to everyone, Lu Zhi received a friendly response from everyone.

In any case, people like Lu Zhi, who once worshiped a hussar general, are the objects that everyone looks up to. Historical bulls like Pang Tong, Gao Shun, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin, after all, did not have any fame before this, and a transferred military general like Lu Han is naturally not a problem; Even the heroic Wang Yue, who has an unparalleled reputation in the green forest, also has great respect for Lu Zhi, in addition to the factor that Ah Niu attaches importance to Lu Zhi, don't forget that Wang Yue in history also had a strong desire to seek talent, but it was not recognized.

Lu Zhi has also been famous for a long time in the name of Wang Yue, although this gentleman is a famous contemporary Confucian, but Lu Zhi is very different from a Confucian like Cai Yong: a civil and military all-rounder! Otherwise, it would not have been possible to put on a battle during the Yellow Turban Uprising, and alone led the imperial army against Zhang Jiao, who was the most powerful and the most aggressive, and won the final victory! Therefore, Lu Zhi did not mean to be contemptuous of Wang Yue's identity, and because Wang Yue and A Niuyi married Jin Lan, it was known to the world back then, Lu Zhi smiled: "I have heard of Wang Yue's name as a hero, but when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." This time, Lu Zhi settled in Fengxiang, and he will be closer in the future. ”

Wang Yue naturally smiled and promised.

When Lu Zhi knew that Zhao Xue was Zilong's sister-in-law, the eyes of this great Confucian suddenly lit up.

"Well, it turned out to be Zilong's sister! Back then, in Julu, Jizhou, if it weren't for Zilong's help, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to defeat the Yellow Turban, let alone think about the official worship. When Ah Niu first came to Luoyang, he mentioned the name of Xiaoxue, and today I finally saw it, and it was really handsome, and Zilong was cool Xiao! ”

Zhao Xue is usually eccentric, so everyone has to give her three points when she is petty, even Ah Niu and Wang Yue, although she is known as the "little witch", but in Fengxiang, no one loves and everyone doesn't like it. Guy Xiaoxue is not only smart in ice and snow, but also barely has a bit of stability in dealing with people, and she is by no means a little girl who is unsympathetic. immediately called out sweetly, "Uncle Lu is good", and Lu Zhi stroked his beard and couldn't stop laughing.

"Xiaoxue is so cute, Yan'er will have company in Fengxiang in the future."

When Zhao Xue heard this, she suddenly became energetic.

When she learned that she came back with Ah Niu this time, as well as Cai Yong's daughter, Xiaoxue immediately couldn't sit still in the office. The little beauty never had to take care of any practical matters, and she had no interest in something as boring as a meeting, when a fragrant breeze wafted by, and Xiaoxue disappeared into the office.

Lu Zhi also got up and said to Ah Niu: "Ah Niu, let's get busy first, I have already met everyone, so I won't bother you with your deliberations." I'll go to Yan'er first. ”

Ah Niu smiled and nodded. Lu Zhi had just arrived in Fengxiang, and there were many situations in Fengxiang that he didn't know, many of which involved Fengxiang's secrets.

After Lu Zhi left, Ah Niu immediately began to understand the status of Feng Xiang's exhibition during this time, although it can be seen from the city lord's manual, but many details must still be asked.

Sun Liang still didn't come back, but fortunately, before Ah Niu left, Pang Tong was fully responsible for the affairs of the territory, and this king-level strategist still knew the situation in the territory well, and obviously did not slack off at all. As soon as he talked about official business, Pang Tong immediately became extremely solemn, and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, in the past two months, all the work in the territory has progressed smoothly, and there is nothing special to do. The construction of the Chidao and the city wall has not been stalled, and the lord must have seen some progress on the way back, the Chidao will take 58 days to complete, and the stone city wall should be completed in 27 days. ”

Ah Niu smiled and nodded, this time is not much different from his estimation. And Pang Tong was able to clearly say the specific number of days the construction was completed, and in addition to being careful, the responsible attitude was also obvious.

The debriefing continues.

-- Economic conditions.

In two months, Fengxiang City's income situation has not improved significantly, only increasing by 160,000 gold. The reason for this situation is not the decrease in Fengxiang's income, but the increase in expenses.

Fengxiang's trade with the state capital's one-stone rhubarb crossbow was still stable, and the trade with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban under the control of the fat dragon baby also increased slightly; With the training of more craftsmen by senior talents, the output of Fengxiang's specialty Baihua wine and silk has also risen; The Wuhuan War Horse deal has been completed again; In addition, Fengxiang's influence is increasing day by day, attracting a large number of NPC merchants to Fengxiang to do business, and the transaction volume of various shops and industries in the territory has increased by 17% compared to when Ah Niu left. This also makes the %.

While the benefits are huge, the payouts are equally staggering.

Chidao and the city wall is a big project, whether it is materials, construction funds, migrant workers' salaries are not a small expense, according to Pang Tong's calculations, after the completion of these two projects, Fengxiang will reduce the capital expenditure of 168,000 gold.

Another big money-burner is the town of Foreigners. The number of warships of the Canglan Naval Division is already insufficient, Jiang Qi's dock has been increasing its production capacity in the past two months, and 9 more warships have been launched, although it is still not enough to meet the use of the navy, but at least when trading war horses with the Taran tribe, the proportion of conscripted fishing boats will be reduced to 3o% of the first time. In addition, Jiang Qi also invested a lot of money in the research and improvement of warships, which was equivalent to one-third of the shipbuilding cost in these two months!

Again, in line with the principle of continuous development, Fengxiang has also invested a lot of money as an investment. In addition to investing in various industries, it also expands the scale of loans and helps more villagers to start businesses, so that Fengxiang has greater vitality and potential.

In the eyes of a certain city lord, none of the astronomical expenditures were non-essential expenditures, but in this way, Feng Xiang's prospects for economic support for the special territory were far less optimistic than Ah Niu imagined. The last time he went to Liangzhou, Ah Niu took away 1oo million gold, but in the past two months, Qingzhou's capital has only grown to 160,000!

Fortunately, the construction of the city wall and gallop road is coming to an end, and there are 5oo Xiqiang war horses!

-- Demographic aspects.

With Fengxiang's generous welfare system and salary level, the degree of attracting displaced people has not been low, but what makes Ah Niu astonished is that in the past two months, the population of Fengxiang in Qingzhou has not risen but fallen, and it has decreased by more than 48oo people compared to when he left! In fact, Ah Niu has already appeared this problem in the city lord's manual.

What's going on?

"My lord, you underestimated the enthusiasm of the road to heaven and the way to help us upgrade our colonies, and in the past two months, they have helped us upgrade our two subordinate territories. Longsheng and Fenghu under the name of Sea Soul Town have been upgraded to second-level townships; The new deal under the name of Blu-ray Town has been upgraded twice and has become a third-level township. At least three of these four successful upgrades were the reason why our Feng Xiang helped, but the rewards that should have been paid to them have already been settled. That road to heaven is smarter. Pang Tong smiled.

Ah Niu suddenly realized.

After the colony is successfully upgraded, Feng Xiang will of course need to import the population into it in order to maximize the colony's production in the shortest possible time. Although Fengxiang's colony also has relatively complete supporting facilities, it is obviously impossible to compare with Fengxiang in terms of the attraction of the road to heaven and the freedom of the way.

After four upgrades, Fengxiang has an additional 10,000 villagers, and these 10,000 people, of course, will still migrate from Fengxiang. If it weren't for the fact that Ah Niu negotiated a deal with the fat dragon baby for 3ooo population before leaving Luoyang, Fengxiang's population would have decreased even more!

Pang Tong said with a smile that Tongtianlu is smarter, of course, because there is a difference in the reward for upgrading to different scales. The reward for upgrading to level 2 townships is 50,000 gold, and the reward for upgrading to level 3 is 1o thousand. However, such a little cleverness is not only not a bad thing for Feng Xiang, but it is worth encouraging.

"I'm coming back this time, and the upgrade of Qingzhou's subordinate territory is about to start again, and it seems that there is a big gap in our population." The larger the size of the territory, the more prominent the population problem becomes, you must know that a city lord has always been worried about overpopulation before this, but now......

Ah Niu couldn't help but think of Fat Dragon Baby, the best of the adventurous players, who went to Jizhou two months ago to contact the local Yellow Turban Army, and he didn't know what the situation was now. Fortunately, although the baby is not there, the dragon god is still a man of his word in the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and it seems that Feng Xiang and the people of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army are about to expand again.

-- Military aspects.

Pang Tong was waiting to report, and Ah Niu had signaled him to stop. Now that the military commanders of the various units are here, it is better for them to report to themselves.

Trapped, 35 new fighters were added in two months, bringing the number of the force to 139. Although Gao Shun is still the general with the least number of troops led by Feng Xiang, Ah Niu is already very satisfied with this result, for Ah Niu, every soldier trapped in the camp is precious, and the number of people can be increased by 35 in two months, which has been out of Ah Niu's expectations.

The Canglan Naval Division, a 1,000-strong naval army, still lacks enough warships, but this is also a helpless thing. In the past two months, the training results of the sailor were very obvious, and after Zhou Tai and such a bull fork fierce man joined, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai quickly touched a spark, and the two complemented each other in the construction of the navy. However, the combat effectiveness of the sailors has not yet been tested in actual combat.

The Dark Flower Qingzhou Department has reached 286 people, and under the training of Wang Yue and Liu Xing, this army is almost a reorganized force of progress. Liu Xing patted his chest with great certainty and assured: The combat effectiveness of Qingzhou Dark Flower will definitely not be worse than the special forces sent to Liangzhou.

The Shanzi battalion is still the same, and the 25oo force is still the largest force in Fengxiang, not including the 1ooo people who have been expanded in Liangzhou. In the two months since Ah Niu left, the horse rejection walls in all of Fengxiang's subordinate territories have been completed, which has also greatly eased the defensive pressure of the Shanzi Battalion.

"Lord, now that Dong Zhuo is in charge of Luoyang, the chaos in the world will rise, and his subordinates estimate that about half a year, the real troubled times are coming. Our current troops are more than capable of defending and not enterprising, and if we want to do something, we are afraid that we will not be able to do it. Finally, Pang Tong concluded, and he also made a judgment on the observation of the current situation, and it was more specific and concrete.

Ah Niu agrees with this conclusion.

Ever since Chen Gong and the others opened up a special territory and left Qingzhou with the Flying Wing Battalion, Fengxiang City's military strength has declined significantly.

The trapping camp is the elite of the elite, but unfortunately there are only more than 100 people; Dark flowers, not even troop formations at all; Shanzi Battalion, it would be good to be able to protect the territory well; The only one who can get his hands on it seems to be the Canglan Water Division, but unfortunately this unit is still responsible for the transportation of the war horse trade with the Wuhuan tribe, and it seems that it is not yet time for a water war.

Every player knows that the war against Dong Zhuo will start within half a year, and Fengxiang City will certainly not stand idly by in this vigorous war.

"Shi Yuan is right, what we need now is ......" Ah Niu stood up, looked at the people present, and said word by word:

"Expand the military strength and prepare the army for war!"

(Hehe, 48 12ooo reminder tickets, it seems that there is great hope to get it, and there is still a chapter in the evening!) (To be continued)
