Chapter 913 Expand the army again

It costs a lot of money and time to build a systematic city, and it is said that after completing a certain number of famous city construction, it is possible to obtain certain titles, such as "Capable Official" and "Virtuous Marquis", which are quite helpful to the lord's personal reputation, and if you are lucky, you may also be able to get some attribute bonuses for the territory. However, for the vast majority of princes, it is more affordable to use those funds to recruit troops and buy horses than to work hard to build a famous city, and at worst, it cannot be used to develop the people's livelihood in the jurisdiction.

But for lord players, the new city is crazy enough.

One of the prerequisites for upgrading the player's territory to the capital is that they must occupy at least one county seat!

The territory of the Han Dynasty is so large, it determines the number of lords who are qualified to upgrade their territories to the size of the capital, and more than 1ooo counties will produce more than 1ooo capital-level territories at most. If some powerful territories occupy more than one county, the number of players who can become a capital lord will be reduced accordingly. Even if there is one person in more than 1ooo counties, it is not enough for more than 50,000 lords, and the average share of the county is only 1/5o.

And that's not even counting the need for the Adventure Gang to be in the famous city.

The system stipulates that if the capital-level player's territory loses all the famous cities it occupies, the territory will be automatically downgraded to a fourth-level city, and opportunistic shortcuts will not work at all. Therefore, whether or not you can advance to the capital stage is a dividing line between the strength of the player's territory, and there is no chance at all.

Every county seat is precious!

"The investment is very large, Emperor Wu said let's see, should we build a famous city?" Ah Niu said leisurely.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty blurted out: "Build! Why not build! Although the investment is large, the benefit will never be small! ”

Each time a new system town is built, it can increase Fengxiang's mobilized system troops, as well as the population and artisan talents attracted by the new city, thereby increasing Fengxiang's strength.

But that's not all.

The new famous city will undoubtedly be a strategic resource that will dominate the players to grab the head, and a level resource that can generate income for a long time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw very clearly that with Feng Xiang's strength, if Ah Niu did not agree to the "transfer" of the famous city, no one could become the "master" of the famous city - even temporary. Feng Xiang only needs to rent out the famous city, and the rolling wealth is surging.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty eagerly thought of the benefits, and Ah Niu naturally thought of them, but if the benefits only stopped there, Ah Niu didn't seem to need to spend so much effort to build a new famous city. How much can you charge a month for renting out a famous city? Even if the monthly rent is 100,000 yuan (at this stage, the territory with a monthly net income of 100,000 gold is definitely rare), and it will take at least eight years to build a famous city with more than 100,000 gold, if you want to recover all the investment, it will take at least eight years.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was thoughtful.

Ah Niu said slowly: "The reset of the county is not as simple as you imagined, as the name suggests, this power is not only for the county seat, now I am only the minister of the country, Taishou, and the power is limited to Qi and Donglai." Over time, if the conditions are met, hehe......"

Emperor Wu of Han could hardly believe his ears, and asked tentatively for a long time.

"Brother Niu is saying, set up a county?"

"Yes!"

"The premise is that I can mix up to the level of the state pastor and the assassin." A certain city lord smiled faintly and added: "If there really is a day, I have a sufficient number of county towns on hand, why is it difficult to split the territory and divide the territory?" ”

This is what a certain city lord values the most!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like falling into a dream, and suddenly came into contact with these messages, which made him a little relieved. Ah Niu smiled knowingly, when he just figured out this layer, he was shocked that Cheng Dù was not much better than the current Emperor Wu of Han.

Letting Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slowly reminisce, Ah Niu continued to discuss with Fengxiang Qunying.

"The territory of Qi is narrow, and it has always been the Qingzhou Governor's Office before, and it has potential to open up, and the results of the preliminary calculation of the previous subordinates will add at most two new counties. However, Shouguang County and Duchang County, which have just been assigned to the East China Sea, have more potential and are expected to contribute three more county seats. In this way, Qi can have a maximum of 13 counties, more than double the original 6 counties. Sun Liang said.

"Can you only add 5...... a certain city lord was a little unsatisfied.

Pang Tong smiled: "The focus is on Donglai. ”

Donglai is the easternmost part of Qingzhou, ten times the area of Qi, but there are only 12 counties.

Fengxiang chose Donglai, not only because of the long coastline of Donglai, but also because this land is vast and sparsely populated, with great potential, and there are infinite possibilities for future exhibitions. After getting Donglai, Ah Niu didn't worry about whether there was enough vacant land, but he was worried that he would not be able to earn such construction funds in his lifetime......

The construction of Qi can be put aside first, and Donglai has the first priority.

Ah Niu's sending Chen Gong to Donglai is enough to show the importance he attaches to Donglai, everyone knows that Chen Gong is Ah Niu's most trusted strategist!

"My lord, there is something you must not ignore." Chen Gong arched his hand.

"It's okay to talk about it."

"We have Fengxiang in the east, Longfei in the west, and Henan Yin, including Luoyang, in the middle, each of which cannot be lost. Now that the two counties have been obtained at once, the problem of insufficient talent reserves in the territory has suddenly become prominent, and the candidates for officials in various counties and towns in Donglai have given Shiyuan a headache...... If the problem of talent shortage cannot be solved, it will inevitably affect the ...... of the territory."

A certain city lord groaned.

Chen Gong said a good point, Feng Xiang's stall is too big and the burden is too heavy, although there are many talents, as many lines as the current one, the problem of insufficient talent reserves will be fully revealed.

"There are still too few talents."

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of Han, who had just come to his senses, began to roll his eyes.

"Sue sù Chen Shuo, from among the officials we are stationed in Henan Yin, select some outstanding talents to return to the second county of Qingzhou to take office, Henan Yin, we are only in charge, and the second county of Qingzhou is our foundation; Post notices in the territory of Qi and Donglai to select talents; In addition, I will go back and visit Master Zheng Xuan to see if he can send some more disciples to solve our current urgent needs! ”

After a pause, Ah Niu turned his head to Lu Zhi and said, "Please also ask Mr. to go with Ah Niu." ”

Lu Zhi nodded in agreement.

As the so-called "learn literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family", although Ah Niu is not an emperor, his reputation is very accessible, and Feng Xiang's current reputation is as high as the sky, Zheng Xuan's disciples are under the new princes, but they will never insult them. What's more, Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuannai have been friends for many years, and Lu Zhi only has to play the side drum next to him, and this matter is nine out of ten!

"Donglai has a public station to take care of, so naturally there is nothing to worry about. Fengxiang City is in ruins, and there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with by Sun Liang, and the Qi State must also appoint another capable official to lead the affairs of the Qi State. ”

"Zizhong," Ah Niu said lightly: "From tomorrow onwards, you will fulfill the powers and responsibilities of the state minister on my behalf." ”

Mi Zhu said, "Me? ”

Mi Zhu was confused and uneasy, not because Mi Zhu was arrogant, but he never expected that Ah Niu would suddenly take Qi Guo into his hands. In just over ten days, Mi Zhu has a better understanding of Feng Xiang's strength, Chen Gongzhi can he already know, and he is expected to take over Donglai; Pang Tong's talent is amazing, and his qualifications are clearly there, and Qi Guo has long been considered by Mi Zhu to be Pang Tong's bag.

In fact, not only Mi Zhu was surprised, except for Chen Gong and Pang Tong in the house, who had already known the result, everyone else felt a little sudden, but out of trust in a certain city lord, they didn't make a sound.

"That's right, it's you. What's the problem? ”

"But I've just joined the territory, and I'm still ...... senior."

"Seniority is not important, Fengxiang is not a place to rank seniority, as long as you are loyal to the territory and have talent, there will always be a place to wave." Before Mi Zhu could finish speaking, Ah Niu interrupted him, "I believe that you are fully competent." ”

Ah Niu is categorical, he does have strong confidence in Mi Zhu. In history, Mi Zhu has always been Liu Bei's confidant minister, not only has no loss in virtue, but also shows amazing talent in government affairs, and hands over the small Qi country to Mi Zhu to take care of, Ah Niu really has nothing to worry about.

Mi Zhu no longer shirked, his eyes were blazing, and he got up and shook solemnly, "I will do my best!" ”

Although Ah Niu has just returned to the territory, he still knows the situation in the territory well.

"In the previous war, most of our army's various units suffered heavy losses, especially the Shanzi Battalion and the Canglan Water Division, which suffered the heaviest losses, and the number of soldiers killed in battle was more than sixty percent, and recruiting new soldiers was a top priority...... Although Zang Hong is dead, I Fengxiang still has many strong enemies, and all departments need to immediately replenish the source of troops and strengthen the troops. ”

"The coastline of Donglai is long, and there needs to be enough sailors to protect it, and now this is far from enough. Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and the Canglan Naval Division first expanded the army to 10,000 people, and we captured a large number of naval warships from Qilin City, which can just come in handy. ”

After thinking about it, Ah Niu continued: "Qi and Donglai are both close to the East China Sea, and the sailors need to protect the two counties, so it is inevitable to divide the troops. After the reorganization of the troops was completed, Jiang Qin still stayed in Fengxiang to be responsible for Qi national defense affairs, and the base camp was still located in the town of Fulai; Zhou Tai led half of the naval army to move eastward to help Gongtai consolidate the coastal defense of Donglai. ”

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai promised in unison: "Yes!" ”

"With the new two counties, it is inevitable that there will be young people eyeing them, and they must hold Qi and Donglai firmly in their hands, and they can't do without a strong army. There are great restrictions on the transfer of the county garrison to fight, and a lot of resources are spent to maintain the garrison of the county town, and only one-tenth of the troops can be mobilized in the event of war. We must build an army that is completely under our own control, and we must recruit and fight and win when we come. ”

Everyone nodded.

The restriction on the number of troops in the city is enough to drive the princes crazy, especially to the player princes - at least Niu has lost hope in the city forces.

By chance, the Shanzi battalion already has the same strength as the heavy infantry of the system, and Feng Xiang naturally does not need to work hard to maintain enough troops for the county, and with the city wall to rely on, thousands of troops can hold the famous city for a period of time. Expanding the Shanzi Battalion with the military expenses saved by various county towns not only does not affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also makes the use of resources more efficient.

"The Shanzi battalion has been expanded to 30,000!"
