Salary reform advocated by Lu Zhi. It can not only reduce the financial pressure on Luoyang, but also provide convenience for Fengxiang to select good talents from Luoyang people.

The pursuit of a higher standard of living is everyone's need, even NPC is no exception, with Fengxiang's more than 200 craftsmen with high salaries as a reference, the enthusiasm of Luoyang people should be significantly improved. Of course, the scale of wage reform needs to be carefully grasped, and if you are not careful, it will lead to turmoil among the people of Luoyang, and that will be the result that Ah Niu does not want to see.

According to Lu Zhi's meaning, in addition to the more than 200 craftsmen brought from Fengxiang and the soldiers of the Flying Wing Battalion, all the newly attracted homeless people in Luoyang and the more than 4ooo villagers from the Longfeicheng refugee camp can only enjoy "low wages". The so-called "low salary" is also relative to the villagers of Fengxiang, the actual salary level is about 50% higher than that of ordinary territory, and for those who come later, such salary conditions are also difficult to pick, and the salary reform can be implemented smoothly.

As for the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City, their salaries are paid by their lords respectively, so there is no need for Ah Niu to worry about it.

For this alone, Fengxiang's salary to total expenditure ratio has dropped from 52% to 37%. What's more, as Luoyang attracts more and more displaced people. The significance of this reform will be more clearly reflected!

In addition, the most satisfying thing for a certain city lord is that Lu Zhi's position in this reform has changed, and unconsciously, this gentleman has regarded himself as a Fengxiang person. Although Lu Zhi still has no plans to become a leader, just under the guise of "voluntary help", both Ah Niu and Lu Zhi know that the role played by the Luoyang Taishou is gradually changing to a "Fengxiang official"!

"Hehe, Lu Zhi is actually already working for Feng Xiang, and it's good to have no name. Now Feng Xiang is already a big tree, if the news of Lu Zhi joining Feng Xiang comes out, it will undoubtedly attract more jealousy for the territory, so it's better to keep a low profile. A certain city lord thought.

Ah Niu, who was quite complacent, kept a clear head and did not get carried away. Thinking of Lu Zhi's previous remarks, there are two things that need to be paid attention to, in addition to the salary issue, what is the other thing?

Lu Zhi did not respond positively to Ah Niu's question, and said with a smile: "Ah Niu has made a feud with someone near Luoyang?" ”

A certain city lord smiled bitterly, "Feud? Throughout the history of Feng Xiang's exhibition, even if the Liang Zi who formed a relationship with people is not a car fight, it is by no means innocent, and the Yellow Turban Army, Fuxing City, and Ah Niu even suspect that some of the princes are dissatisfied with Feng Xiang. But near Luoyang, there should be no enmity with anyone. ”

"Not being jealous is mediocrity, and some things are not something you can decide. Are you sure there are no enemies near Luoyang? ”

Seeing Lu Zhi's stern face, a certain city lord felt even more uneasy, thought about it seriously, and said, "Ah Niu's impression is indeed not!" But it cannot be ruled out that some people are not angry with Feng Xiang, such things are not uncommon. There's something wrong with that. Please also sir, please make it clear. ”

Lu Zhi was silent for a while, holding the teacup in his hand for a long time without moving, and only stood up after a while, "Ah Niu should know that the food supply in Luoyang has always been a big problem. The other day you visited the nearby Inhuman Lords, and you made deals with many of them to purchase grain, but now, we have been buying much less grain than expected lately. ”

"Of course I know. Most of the nearby lord players are also just starting out, and it is reasonable that there is not much food to sell. ”

"No, I knew that it was impossible for these lord players to meet Luoyang's demand for food, and I didn't expect their sale to balance Luoyang's food demand. You don't understand what I mean, but what's really strange is that we're buying more than half less food than expected! ”

"Half less?" A certain city lord's brows suddenly furrowed.

Since Ah Niu visited a nearby territory some time ago, Lu Zhi took over the city's housekeeping stall, and a certain city lord didn't think about helping Lu Zhi share the burden after he came back, according to him, "Mr. Lu is also idle when he is idle, just give him a chance to do something." It doesn't seem that he wants to be lazy, but that Lu Zhi is uncomfortable. In this way, Lu Zhi, who is in charge of the overall situation, naturally has more say in the implementation of grain procurement than Ah Niu.

The grain purchase was less than half of what was expected, which obviously greatly surprised Ah Niu. You must know that when reaching the purchase intention, Ah Niu had agreed with the lord players on the approximate amount that could be sold, even if there may be some deviations, it will never be as exaggerated as half.

"Yes. I showed up a few days ago and sent some people out to find out the news. Their reward is that there have been no natural disasters recently**, that there is no problem with the food production of those lords, and that there has been no massive increase in the population of the realms with which we are interested in trading. Therefore, the biggest possibility is ......" Lu Zhi paused and looked at a certain city lord with a smile.

"Someone secretly snapped up food at a higher price?" Ah Niu is not stupid. The possibility immediately came to mind.

"That's it. With the exception of the Invincible Town, which sold us more grain than expected, none of the other realms lived up to the original standard. ”

Invincible Town is Feifei's territory, due to Feng Xiang's high-level talent output, the territory has been given the opportunity to establish a subsidiary territory in advance, attracting more displaced people, and it is not surprising that the territory's grain production is higher than expected. The two high-ranking talents that a certain city lord gave to Feifei were not given in vain.

Corresponding to this is the ambiguous attitude of other "little lords". If there are indeed people who secretly raise the price to buy grain, they are out of the needs of the territory itself, and it is understandable to sell grain at a high price, but this practice is obviously too unkind, and the only thing that a certain city lord can use as a fig leaf may be that those lords also "sell" some grain to Luoyang, which is mostly based on the face of Fengxiang's junior talent output.

Ah Niu suddenly realized the severity of the problem.

Due to the special situation that Luoyang must rely on external supplies for grain, if someone secretly rushes to buy grain, it will obviously be unfavorable news for Luoyang's reconstruction. Even if Fengxiang also raises the price, the current embarrassing economic status quo is difficult to support, not to mention that Fengxiang can increase the price, and the other party can also increase the price! The most superficial point is that the cost of Fengxiang's reconstruction of Luoyang has been artificially inflated.

Of course, Feng Xiang has sufficient grain reserves in Qingzhou's territory, as well as smooth acquisition channels - Mi's business network is very strong, but far from quenching the thirst, if grain is transported from Qingzhou to Luoyang, the cost required is too great, and this does not take into account whether the road is safe enough.

Although the rush to buy grain will not have a serious impact on Luoyang for the time being, after all, grain accounts for a considerable proportion of the reconstruction materials sent by the princes, enough for the current population to use for more than two months. Deduced from this incident, if someone really secretly sabotaged it, it would undoubtedly hit Feng Xiang's seven inches!

There are many ways to strike an adversary, the use of force is only one of them, in fact, a lot of the time, certain seemingly "peaceful" ways of striking are often more effective and more deadly!

Ah Niu understands Lu Zhi's worries, except for secretly playing a black hand on Feng Xiang on the food issue, who can guarantee that there will be no follow-up moves? What will be the next move? The current city of Luoyang. Can you resolve the other party's continuous tricks? What is the cost?

That's the crux of the matter!

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of a certain city lord, and he immediately thought of the biggest suspect, a powerful vacuum cleaner, but soon Ah Niu overturned his idea. So far, Ah Niu still doesn't know why the powerful vacuum cleaner is so hostile to Feng Xiang, and it seems that Qiang doesn't plan to sue him, as long as he knows that this conspirator is unhappy with him.

But Ah Niu also understands that the powerful vacuum cleaner is far away in Jizhou, and it seems to be a little illogical to go all the way to Sili to collect grain, or it is not operable at all! Even if this matter is indeed unsuspecting, Fuxing City is unlikely to be the executor of the operation.

This also means that at least near Luoyang, there are still sacred people who don't know why they are acting in secret, and the invisible enemy is the most terrifying!

There is an even worse possibility: it is not the lord players who are hostile to Feng Xiang who attack, but the NPC forces. In this way, the crisis in Luoyang is even more severe!

――The best among the lord players, even if they are as strong as Feng Xiang, now they do not have the strength and capital to compete head-on with a system force.

A certain city lord has a keen sense of smell for crises, and Ah Niu realizes that in the darkness, a powerful enemy (or alliance) has stretched out a black hand to Feng Xiang, and rushing to buy food is just their first step!

Fengxiang, whose territory in Qingzhou is quite stable, does not have such a strong momentum in Luoyang, and it is even likely that it will never have such a thick momentum. Luoyang is Fengxiang's weakness, and the "bullfighters" are keenly aware of this and begin to act.

In the face of challenges, Ah Niu has never had the habit of retreating, no matter who the opponent is, as long as it hinders Feng Xiang's progress. There is always only one attitude of a certain city lord: never give up! For this reason, Ah Niu quickly made a decision.

A certain city lord's right hand touched his nose again, and his left hand subconsciously tapped on the table, and said to Lu Zhi: "Sir, I am going to go back to Fengxiang, and the affairs of Luoyang will be annoying Mr. Lao." Luoyang's decision-making is decided by Mr. Yi's words, including my third brother and fifth brother, everyone will look forward to Mr. Ma. ”

Ah Niu suddenly decided to leave Luoyang, Lu Zhi didn't seem surprised by this, just smiled and nodded, "How does Ah Niu plan to resolve this crisis?" ”

"Now the first card shown by the other side is to restrain us from the food, and before they can take further action, I plan to solve this problem first, the food problem is too important. Even if we can't get enough food from other lord players, then a chamber of commerce will guarantee Luoyang's supply! ”

"Chamber of Commerce? Very good idea, Ah Niu is going to ask the East China Sea Mi clan for help? If that's the case. Jianyì Aniu is still looking for a strong merchant near Luoyang, such as the Hedong Wei's Chamber of Commerce. Each big business has its own sphere of influence, hundreds of years of operation, has already made them form their own sphere of influence, Mi is too far away from Luoyang. ”

For Lu Zhi's kind reminder, Ah Niu smiled indifferently.

Lu Zhi mentioned the Wei family, not only because the Wei Chamber of Commerce could support Luoyang at close range, but also because it was entirely possible for Feng Xiang to reach an agreement with the Wei family. Lu Zhi's friend Cai Yong is almost married to Wei, and with Lu Zhi's face, there is a great possibility of mutually beneficial cooperation.

Hedong Wei's is indeed a good choice, but Wei Zhongdao's early death can be said to have a direct relationship with him, and in this case, a certain city lord is unwilling to hook up with Wei's family. Even if Wei has not yet realized that Wei Zhongdao's death was due to Feng Xiang's assassination, but with more contact, the possibility of leaking the news will greatly increase, and in the case of a choice, this dangerous Niu is absolutely unwilling to take the risk.

"What I'm looking for is not the Mi family, Mr. doesn't know, our Fengxiang City can already form its own chamber of commerce. Rather than waiting for the Mi clan to expand its sphere of influence to Sili, it is better to cultivate our own power, although Fengxiang's Chamber of Commerce has just started, it should not be difficult to achieve material security for Luoyang. Ah Niu didn't intend to hide it from Lu Zhi, in fact, Lu Zhi's cousin had already made Ah Niu decide to let him know more secrets of Feng Xiang when necessary, including the secrets of the special territory.

"Self-organized chamber of commerce! Now Feng Xiang can already form his own chamber of commerce? Ah Niu gave me another surprise! Lu Zhi's relief was clear at a glance, and as he learned more about Feng Xiang, the more this gentleman understood how strong Feng Xiang's energy was.

"Hehe, it's just a fluke." A certain city lord explained the conditions for the formation of a chamber of commerce, and the origin of the master merchant did not shy away from it, and Lu Zhi now knew that the fall of Beiyuan City had occurred. It was actually from Feng Xiang's handwriting.

As for "why it is rumored that Beiyuan City was destroyed by the Qiang people", "what is the relationship between Fengxiang and the Qiang people", "how did the Qiang people's large army enter the hinterland of Liangzhou unknowingly", "how did Fengxiang receive the population of Beiyuan from the Qiang people", Lu Zhi did not follow up on the question, this gentleman was keenly aware that these questions involved too many core secrets of Fengxiang.

These questions are likely to embarrass Ah Niu and cause unnecessary embarrassment between the two, thus affecting the current harmonious relationship between the two. Lu Zhi, who has been rolling in officialdom for many years, has read countless people and understands what things to ask and what things to pretend not to know.

Lu Zhi didn't ask, Ah Niu only thought of it, or was not interested in these things, so naturally he wouldn't explain too much.

The decision has been decided, and a certain city lord will soon set off to return to the territory.

This time he led the team to Luoyang, which took up a lot of Ah Niu's time, although the territories of Qingzhou and Liangzhou are taken care of by right-hand men, and most of the things do not need Ah Niu to ask, but in addition to the delay in the formation of the Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, at least one thing has been delayed, that is, the upgrade of the subordinate territory. This matter must be taken over by the city lord himself.

During this time, Feng Xiang missed at least two opportunities to upgrade his subordinate territories. Ah Niu also hopes to go back to prepare for the Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, take over the task of upgrading the next subordinate territory.

Before returning to Qingzhou, a certain city lord did not forget to create a better working environment for Lu Zhi, and after leaving the city lord's office, Ah Niu found Zhao Yun and Liu Xing.

"Fourth brother, rest assured, Zilong will do his best to assist Mr. Lu Zhi." Zhao Yun smiled and said that no matter whether Ah Niu was there or not, his task was to ensure the safety of Luoyang and be responsible for Luoyang's armament.

Liu Xing was a little different, and now that there might be hostile forces eyeing Luoyang, a certain city lord asked Liu Xing's martial artists to take more responsibility. More than 1oo martial artists need to closely monitor the movements in Luoyang City day and night, and even have to divide a small number of people to set up secret posts on the main roads outside Luoyang City to establish a warning network for Luoyang, even if it is an empty warning network.

Such a request is obviously too much for Liu Xing, and the vacancy in manpower is too great.

Looking at Liu Xing's sad face, a certain city lord smiled and said: "Third brother, let's get over it for the time being, if it really doesn't work, I can ask Zilong to transfer some people from those two friendly armies to come over for temporary support, and I will pass through the territory of Guò in a while, and send another two hundred martial artists from Qingzhou to rush over, how about it?" ”

Ah Niu's words have all been said to this point, and Liu Xing can't speak even if he wants to object, "Okay." Those friendly troops may not be enough to complete such a task well, before the sons and daughters of Qingzhou rushed over, the elder brother said that he had to go out in person to run more errands, and the fourth brother could rest assured. ”

With Zhao Yun and Liu Xing's promise, a certain city lord is not too relieved, and what he is worried about is that after he leaves, if there is an emergency in Luoyang, he needs to have a player who can contact him as soon as possible.

This question is also difficult for the Fengxiang City Lord, although the members of the Dragon Guardian Villa have not yet fully arrived in Luoyang to settle down, at least more than 5,000 people have been stationed, and the gang leader Jin Ge Iron Horse has also arrived. As a branch of the Zilong Society, the Dragon Guardian Villa naturally inherits the consistent purpose of the Zilong Club to "follow Zhao Yun", and such a friend is worth relying on.

Another important reason for entrusting this matter to Jin Ge Iron Horse is Ah Niu's trust in Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Feng Xiang's alliance with the Zilong Society also benefited the two major branches of the Zilong Society, in fact, the brain characters of the Dragon Guardian Villa and the Xiaoxue Death Squad were all selected from the core players of the Zilong Society. No matter before and after the establishment of the branch, many of them have been in Fengxiang for a long time, and even many of them have had the experience of leveling together with a certain city lord, and everyone is an old acquaintance.

The Golden Iron Horse is one of them.

The profession practiced by this gang leader is Haojie, and as we all know, the system (military division, heroic) profession has a natural disadvantage in terms of leveling. Killing monsters with a bunch of minions is certainly more convenient and worry-free, and most of them are financially well-off (usually, adventure players of the fierce general profession, many people must rely on the help of military advisors and heroes to maintain normal leveling, or they will do business to make money through guò), but some of the experience will also be sucked away by minions, and the level of upgrading will naturally not be fast.

The level of Jin Ge Iron Horse is not only not high, but it is ridiculously low, just 4o level is the same as Ah Niu, for an adventurous player, such a level is obviously unreasonable. This is a training maniac, training a wave of small soldiers, training is not the popular ranged soldiers among players, but slow melee soldiers, it is said that five excellent melee soldiers have been trained, and it is reasonable that Jin Ge Iron Horse himself has a low level.

Jin Ge Iron Horse is not only of low level, but also miserable in equipment, for no other reason, this guy can be called a model of impatience and righteousness, the "timely rain" in the game. There are five fierce general players in the gang who have relied on Jin Ge Iron Horse for medicine money for a long time, and this ratio is much higher than the usual 1-to-1 help, which also makes it possible that although Jin Ge Iron Horse is never lazy to kill monsters, his own pockets have never been bulging.

Players who are helped by him will not hesitate to send the heroic equipment that suits him, but what is very shocking is that this guy turned around and sold it, and the money will be given to the friends who need it most as a "relief money". In the face of everyone's verbal criticism, Jin Ge Tiema, who was denounced as a "natural worker", did not think it was angry, but said: "My level is low, it's a pity to use such good equipment, sell it as much as possible while I can sell it now, and when everyone's level goes up, it's not too late for me to get a better equipment." ”

Although Jin Ge Iron Horse has no level or no rank, and he has no combat power, this will not affect his selection by everyone to the position of the leader of the Dragon Guardian Villa. With such a person as the gang leader, it is difficult for the brothers in the gang to be unconvinced!

When Ah Niu found Jin Ge Iron Horse, this hero, who had always been optimistic, was thinking and worried.

The conflict between the Zilong Society and the Great Han League has reached the point of being touched.
