Chapter 912 Powers of the Princes: Reset the Counties

Suzerain?

I'm not anymore!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty kept recalling this sentence in his mind, not only because of Ah Niu's inadvertent confidence and calmness, but also because of the determination to kill the world, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty faintly felt that "Brother Niu" seemed to be different from before. Fengxiang City's long-term strategy of "taoguang and obscurity" has officially come to an end from this moment.

The undisguised joy in his eyes fully shows that this kind of change is something that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is happy to see.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not a belligerent, and the case of the Grand Duke selflessly disclosing the secret of the transfer of military generals in the past is enough to prove the character of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it stands to reason that a person with this character may be more likely to become a peace-loving idealist. Emperor Wu of Han didn't like to cause trouble, but don't forget that he and Ah Niu established a friendship early in the game, and over the years they have been together through thick and thin, Emperor Wu of Han has witnessed almost all the hardships and challenges that Feng Xiang has encountered, and in private, he has always been unhappy that Feng Xiang is constantly put in danger.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"If there is nothing else, let's live in Fengxiang City for a few days first, I need to deal with the affairs in the territory first, I have been busy for a while, and there are still things to discuss with you......" Ah Niu said lightly.

The dashing Zhao Long and Emperor Wu of Han nodded slowly.

When the city gate was in sight, Zhao Long's communication bracelet lit up, and without saying a few words, Zhao Long had become a little embarrassed, "That...... I have something to do and go out first to pick up someone...... Wuyan has entered the territory of Qi State, and a girl has come here thousands of miles away, so we have to express it, right? Originally, I didn't need to go at all, but Ah Niu has just come back, and Han Wu seems to be very busy recently, so I, the head snake, have to reluctantly stand up for you, and do my best to be a landlord......"

A certain city lord and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at each other and smiled, and they did not debunk this fake public and private affairs.

"Go ahead."

"I received someone, don't rush back, if you see the two of you and me as if there is no one next to me, I am sure that tomorrow the city will be full of goosebumps."

Zhao Long smiled and strode away.

As soon as he entered the city, he saw a transferred official waiting there, and when he saw Ah Niu entering the city, the transferred official hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Deputy City Lord Chen has just returned from Liangzhou, Mr. Pang took him to the city lord's office first, and Mr. Lu and Deputy City Lord Sun are also there, just wait for the lord to pass, and then you can start." ”

Just returned from Liangzhou, the "Deputy City Lord Chen" in the mouth of the officials naturally refers to Chen Palace.

"I'll go over here."

As soon as Ah Niu came back, Feng Xiang's wise and resourceful people gathered together to discuss overnight, and even Chen Gong was recalled, and the matter discussed was obviously not trivial, and considering the ups and downs of this paragraph, it is not difficult to imagine that this discussion is likely to involve Feng Xiang's exhibition strategy and heavy layout in the next period of time. On such occasions, it is better for people outside the territory to avoid it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was about to say goodbye, but he heard Ah Niu say, "You come too." ”

"This ...... Isn't that good? "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"I don't care, where do you have so many scruples."

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Han was still a little hesitant, Ah Niu said with a smile: "After the player becomes a prince, there will be some more benefits, and it doesn't hurt to explain it to you in the future, but I'm getting lazy and lazy, and I don't want to say it a second time if I can explain it clearly." By the time you're done with this conference, you'll have a general idea of these things. It's a pity that Wuyan hasn't arrived yet, otherwise you can also attend, after you figure it out, go back and talk to Wuyan on my behalf, and it will save me a lot of effort. ”

"Let's go."

This kind of internal meeting with the participation of the core figures of the territory does not shy away from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is not difficult to see the weight of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in Ah Niu's mind.

Emperor Wu of Han's heart warmed, "Okay." ”

The Lord's Office.

Seeing Ah Niu, Chen Gong and the others hurriedly stood up, only Lu Zhi sat still and smiled, with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Mi Zhu stood beside Lu Zhi, although he was a newcomer who had just joined the territory, how could the identity of the East China Sea Mi clan be the head of the family and the son-in-law of the family? The Mi family invested heavily in funding Ah Niu to ascend to the throne of Qi Minister, and most of the people missed this friendship. In addition, Mi Zhu is good at dealing with people, and his peaceful and humble temperament is easy to leave a good impression on people.

When Emperor Wu of Han followed Ah Niu into the city lord's office, Pang Tong and the others were only slightly surprised, and did not say anything.

Ah Niu nodded to everyone one by one, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then quickly got to the point: "It's all here, Pang Tong will talk about the situation of the previous battle first." ”

"Yes."

Pang Tong stood up and said in a deep voice: "In the previous battle with Qingzhou Mansion, 11 of our affiliated territories were destroyed one after another, and Longhu Town, Wuwei Town, and Import Town were all damaged by different Cheng Dù; Nearly seventy percent of the weapons and equipment accumulated in the territory for a long time have been consumed, of which all the defensive weapons have been scrapped; In the defensive warfare, guerrilla warfare, naval warfare, and pursuit warfare at the end of the war, our side lost more than 30,000 soldiers -- including the reinforcements sent by famous cities in the territory of Qi. No matter how you look at it, the price we have paid is unprecedented! ”

"Of course, due to Zang Hong's frontal onslaught at all costs, the enemy's losses are much more than ours."

The deeper Pang Tong's voice became, the more people seemed to have returned to the previous difficult years, and the office was solemn.

"It's worth it compared to what we get!"

"The plans we have worked out over and over again have been realized."

"In the case of absolute disadvantage, we have defeated a terrible enemy, defeated an enemy who is bent on the death of the phoenix, and we have gained the right to continue to grow stronger; In this battle, a group of potential enemies with bad intentions towards Fengxiang City were exposed, giving us the opportunity to catch them all; Not only did we consolidate our position in the Qi Kingdom, but we also got Donglai County and two other county seats; In the end, the trip to Jizhou of the Lord and the Flying Wing Battalion also achieved the predetermined goal, opened, and opened the ......" Pang Tong paused, and glanced at Emperor Wu of Han vaguely.

Pang Tong was very aware of Ah Niu's friendship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also understood that Ah Niu suddenly invited Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attend this time, making it clear that he did not treat the other party as an outsider, but digging the treasure of the Yellow Turban was the biggest secret of Feng Xiang's battle, and the relationship was heavy, and Pang Tong was not sure whether Ah Niu was willing to let Emperor Wu of Han know about it. In order to keep secrets, the true intention of the Flying Wing Battalion to infiltrate Jizhou was not informed to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zhao Long before, and the two only said that Ah Niu was for the necessity of launching a guerrilla attack in the hinterland of Jizhou with strong mobility and forcing Yuan Shao to withdraw from Qingzhou.

"Opened the Yellow Turban Treasure."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost his voice and said, "Huang ...... Yellow Turban Treasure! ”

A certain city lord smiled lightly, ignoring Emperor Wu of Han's round eyes, and said lightly: "They were all forced out, and they fought against the water." You know, in order to become the prime minister of Qi, Feng Xiang is saddled with a lot of debts, if he can't get Zhang Jiao's treasure, Feng Xiang is in danger of bankruptcy, and it is inevitable to fall into the quagmire in the future, and most of them will drag down your exhibition. ”

Emperor Wu of Han was speechless.

Ah Niu understood that the news of the Yellow Turban Treasure brought him needed time to digest, so he turned to Sun Liang and said, "Have you finished counting the things you brought back from Jizhou?" ”

"Not yet."

Sun Liang stood up, his eyes were unusually bright, and he said excitedly: "There are too many things, it takes more time." Within two days, the exact number will be reported to the owner. ”

"Is it enough to make up for our losses?" This is the most concerned issue of Ah Niu.

"Enough! It should be enough! Sun Liang said affirmatively, smiling lightly.

"That's good."

Ah Niu smiled with satisfaction, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and turned to everyone: "Although the Yellow Turban Treasure can bring us great wealth, but the treasure will always be exhausted one day, in my opinion, the value of the treasure is far less than the city and the population. Convincing Kong Beihai to take up the post of Qingzhou Assassin and successfully winning Donglai County and two additional counties for the territory is the biggest gain we have made in this war, which is directly related to Fengxiang's future exhibition! ”

"Good work, sir."

Ah Niu got up and bowed to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi smiled indifferently and accepted it calmly.

"Zang Hong perished; Zhang escaped back to Guangling, there is no need to worry; Although Yuan Shao was not angry at being used by us, he had nothing to do with us because of the armistice agreement...... In the future, Fengxiang will usher in a rare exhibition period. It is an urgent matter to integrate the resources of Qi and Donglai County to enhance their strength, and it is necessary to make arrangements as much as possible, and we will call everyone to discuss it tonight, mainly for this matter. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Ah Niu took a deep breath and continued: "Although we have also operated on multiple lines before, Fengxiang, Longfei and Luoyang have three arrows, but that Biyi is just a city, and a small fight is not a big scene, and it is also a recent thing to temporarily manage Henan Yin after the completion of the reconstruction of Luoyang. According to the report sent back from Luoyang, Henan Yin's affairs are cumbersome and complicated, far beyond previous imagination, although the territory has sent a large number of people to Henan Yin, Chen Shuo's pressure is still very high. ”

"A broken Henan Yin is still like this, let alone Qi and Donglai County? Qingzhou is where our foundation lies, and unlike Henan Yin's temporary management, the governance of Qi State and Donglai County must be assigned to be responsible. To find everyone in such a hurry is to rearrange everyone's division of labor in the future. ”

Ah Niu's expression was calm, and everyone knew that he already had a manuscript, and they listened to it one by one.

"Gongtai", Ah Niu's gaze fell on Chen Gong's body.

"The subordinates are here."

"At the beginning, we relied on the special terrain of Babao Valley to build Longfei City, and in a few years, the defense system of Babao Valley was roughly completed, and the special territory was well developed. Long Fei has a secret channel connecting Liangzhou and the Qiang world, and the Harmony Chamber of Commerce and the Qiang trade show is fast, and the profits earned from the Qiang world have accounted for fifty percent of the business profits of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Long Fei can have today, and the public platform has made great contributions."

Chen Gong was so moved that he was a little speechless, and muttered, "Lord ......"

A certain city lord smiled lightly and waved his hand, and continued: "Although Longfei is very important, it is only a city and a military stronghold. Moreover, we have a good relationship with Ma Teng, and at the other end of Babao Valley, there is Dangqiang as a backup, and Longfei is in the city, which can be described as impregnable. In such a situation, it would be overkill to put the public platform in Longfei again. ”

"Cheng Gongying is steady, both civil and military, and can replace Chen Gong and be fully responsible for Long Fei's affairs."

――As everyone knows, Cheng Gongying has been serving in Longfei since his surrender, and he rarely has the opportunity to show his talent in front of a certain city lord. This decision once again proves Ah Niu's employment style of "regardless of qualifications, appointing people on the basis of merit", and also gives a clear signal to those talents who joined Fengxiang late.

"Gongtai, Donglai County will be handed over to you."

"For a long time, I will not ask for a single cent, a soldier from Donglai, not only that, but most of the money, food and materials earned by the territory will be invested in Donglai, and you have only one task, that is, construction. Qi is the foundation of Fengxiang's survival, and Donglai is the key to Fengxiang's growth. Ah Niu said solemnly.

As Ah Niu's most trusted confidant, Chen Gong obviously knew that he would change positions, in fact, Chen Gong was one of the formulators of the personnel adjustment plan, and Cheng Gongying took over Long Fei because of his recommendation. Chen Gong is well aware of Feng Xiang's entire exhibition plan, and he also knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders.

"Rest assured, the palace will do its best! Now you hand over to me Donglai 12 counties, as long as the funds can be in place in time, I am sure that within five years, the number of Donglai counties will double! Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned and said: "The number of county towns has doubled~ Brother Niu, what's going on?" ”

"Reset the county."

"To put it simply, it's about building and upgrading new NPC settlements through Guò to increase your strength. Unlike lord players building territories, NPC settlements built by princes in their jurisdictions (note: these settlements refer to system towns, not subordinate territories) are first-class cities from the beginning, and when such cities are upgraded to first-class capitals, as long as certain basic conditions are met, they can be defined as county towns and become famous cities recognized by the system. ”

"This is the exclusive right of the princes, and if you want to try to build a new famous city, you have to work harder." Ah Niu said with a light smile, as if he was just talking about an insignificant matter.

Emperor Wu of Han was a little speechless.

Don't look at Ah Niu's indifferent speech, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understands the true meaning of "resetting the county".

Prior to this, the system towns in the game were basically fixed and could be destroyed by war, but no new system towns appeared out of thin air, and system towns have always only decreased and not increased. This diagnosis, in principle, applies to all NPC towns from the village to the royal capital. Yin, Henan, where Luoyang is located, is a ready-made example. If it weren't for Ah Niu who received the task of "rebuilding Luoyang" by mistake, Henan Yin would probably still be in ruins.

Whether the system increases or decreases towns or not, it has little to do with the player, but it is quite closely related to the princes.

Most of the population and tax revenue of the princes came from the system towns in their jurisdiction, and the more systematic towns and the larger the scale, the more resources the princes controlled. In fact, the number and size of the towns in the system are directly related to the strength of the princes!

- Yuan Shu only occupies one county in Nanyang, but he is superior to most of the princes (including some assassins), and was even recognized as the most powerful prince for a time, not because Yuan Shu was born into a famous family, but because Nanyang is a large county with a high economic level, with 36 counties under its jurisdiction. If you don't count the two county towns ceded by Kong Rong, the number of county towns in Qi and Donglai is only half of that of Nanyang.

That's the gap!

Creating and upgrading a new town means that the power of the player's princes is likely to increase, rather than what everyone previously believed: "If you don't expand externally, you will always have to stay put".

Emperor Wu of Han's eyes lit up.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty does not like to fight, he is a pacifist, fighting and killing things are not what he wants, with the famous general Gao Ran and strong reinforcement A Niu, but there is almost no foreign troops to plunder, which is enough to explain the problem. Besides, there are so many cattle in the game, Emperor Wu of Han doesn't think that he can become a player prince one day, but if he becomes a prince, he can build a new famous city named after himself, which seems to be a very interesting thing.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you that building a new city is not as simple as you think." Ah Niu sighed.

"How?"

Ah Niu's next words directly extinguished half of Emperor Wu of Han's enthusiasm for building a famous city.

The amount of money needed to build a new famous city is 10 million gold, which is enough to make any prince foam at the mouth, if it weren't for that, those NPC princes would have already built a lot of construction in their respective jurisdictions. Considering that the new city is a first-class city as soon as it is completed, skipping the two stages of villages and towns, it is also worth the money, and only one "new" or "upgrade" operation can be carried out once a month, which directly puts an end to the dream of a large number of new county towns in large quantities.

From a first-tier city to a first-tier capital, it needs to go through four upgrades......

Fortunately, the cost of upgrading the new city is quite reasonable, if it is a qiē shun lì, theoretically it will take five months at the earliest to build a county, and the construction period of some urban buildings is very long, such as the city wall......

In addition to funding and construction period, there is also one factor to consider for a new famous city: whether there is enough idle land in the jurisdiction. The more land that is vacant, the more addresses available to build the city. Moreover, it is not necessary to upgrade a new city to a first-class capital city, but to make it a famous city (county seat) recognized by the system, it is necessary to allocate a certain number of villages and towns.

It's not right to run naked......

In the Qi country where Fengxiang is located, due to the relationship between the density of towns and the size of the jurisdiction, there is not much room for development, which is also a major reason why Ah Niu chose to include Donglai County!

System villages and towns can also be newly built, and the construction of a system village and township requires 1o million and 1oo million gold respectively, and there is no cooldown time limit, and it can be mass-produced. If the princes are shy in their pockets and there are enough villages and towns in the original system, they can also make internal adjustments and allocate the excess low-level strongholds to the new city to help the new city quickly gain recognition from the system.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled bitterly, the famous city was really not so easy to build, but he still secretly made up his mind: If it is possible, he must build a famous city!

Thinking of the possible benefits of the new famous city, the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty burst into sparks again.
