Chapter 142: Building the Starting City
Therefore, Li Tang is going to build a city around Jingzhou City, and put all the specialties and other things in Linhai City in this city for sale, and communicate with the mainland, which can be regarded as a fulcrum for Linhai City to base itself on the mainland and a starting point for the mainland.

However, this process is destined to be relatively long, laborious but definitely effective.
And Qi Ce is a bribe, Li Tang's subordinates, a lot of people who are proficient in bribery skills. Directly opening the way with money, it must be able to fight a bloody way and let Li Tang see Xu Xuan.
Because, although Xu Xuan is upright, it does not mean that his subordinates are also upright. This method is simple and fast, crisp and neat, and the only drawback is that it may lead to Xu Xuan's disgust and not sell it to his senior official seal.
Although Li Tang is not very eager to get the official seal to upgrade Linhai City, who makes Li Tang have nothing to do now?
At present, Li Tang basically wanders around Jingzhou City during the day, and enters the Dream Pavilion to cultivate internal strength at night. The proportion of time there allowed Li Tang to cultivate his internal strength, which was much more efficient than others.
In fact, Li Tang also has a good place, which is the Tower of Babel. However, Li Tang felt that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was coming, and it was better for him to stay in the domestic area.
Therefore, for the two strategies, Li Tang thinks that it is good to carry out them at the same time.
First of all, this is the right strategy, to build a city. Li Tang chose a location, which was on the Da Xian Mountain, which was only 10 miles away from Jingzhou City.
Speaking of which, the territory of Jingzhou City has an area of 100,000 square kilometers. If the territory is round, Da Xian Mountain must be within the territory of Jingzhou City.
However, at that time, when Jingzhou City was determined, only some dangerous areas on the plains and the Han River were demarcated. Those high mountains that don't have much value are not within the territory of Jingzhou City.
In other words, this Daxian Mountain is basically surrounded by the territory of Jingzhou City. In a sense, Da Xian is the territory of Jingzhou. However, it is not recognized by the system.
In fact, when many players build a city, they also like to do this, setting the territory as a ring to grab more land, and the territory in the middle of this ring will become their own in disguise.
It is precisely because of this that no one wants to establish a territory in Da Xian Mountain. Because Da Hyeon Mountain is a mountainous area, there is no good territory on it, and occasionally you can find a place, and there is not much room for expansion in the future. All players who want to establish a territory must want to upgrade all villages and towns to county towns and state towns, and it is definitely unacceptable if there is not enough room for development.
In addition, no one wants to put their own territory under the control of someone else. And to establish a city in Da Xian Mountain is equivalent to putting yourself under the control of Jingzhou City, and your own army needs to pass through other people's territory when you go out of the city. If others are unwilling to borrow it, it is estimated that they can fight. That's a big disadvantage.
Therefore, on the huge Daxian Mountain, there are almost no players building territories. At least, Li Tang didn't find it when they were looking for Wei Yan in Da Xian Mountain. But in the process of looking for Wei Yan, Li Tang still found a good place, in fact, it was the place where Wei Yan's master Caolu was located.
This place, with an area of about 10 square kilometers, is basically flat, and there are some hills with a small slope around the flatland, which can be used.
There is a valley on the left and right, and the valley is gentle, and from the valley, there can be a road leading to Jingzhou City under the mountain. And with a little repair, a road can be dug up to lead to this treasure land.
In front of this area, facing Jingzhou City, however, there is no road down the mountain in front, only a steep cliff, a small number of people can still climb up, and a large number of military horses have no way to pass.
It is located on the mountainside, and there is also a steep hillside behind it, which acts like a natural barrier.
It is possible to build a city here, and almost no walls are set up. This is because the only place where a large number of people can pass through is the valley on the left and right, and if the width of the road connecting the valley is restricted, the flow of people who can pass through is not too large.
To be honest, the territory here is quite okay to build a village and town. Because, the total amount of land that can be used is estimated to be 40-50 square kilometers, and it is too small as a city.
But Li Tang didn't dislike it at all, because the general city territory did not all build the city, but also included a large amount of land outside the city. This land, which usually produces grain for the use of the city, is not protected by the city wall.
If you encounter an enemy attack on weekdays, you can transfer all the people's food and grass materials to the city, so that you can concentrate your forces to defend against the enemy, if you use the city to surround all the territories, the construction of the city wall costs a lot of money, manpower, not to mention, the defense density is also greatly dispersed, but can not play a good defensive effect.
The city that Li Tang needs is not self-sufficient, but a pure trading market, and all the consumption of this city is obtained from others through buying and selling, and second, it is teleported by the teleportation array. Because Li Tang has a lot of space treasures, there is no problem in carrying some urgently needed materials, the third is that Li Tang carries it with the Qiankun bracelet, and the fourth is to store it by himself, which is the most important.
After thinking about it clearly, Li Tang hurried to this Xian Mountain, found this feng shui treasure, and established a village, with Li Tang as the village head.
The name of this village is called Starting Point Village, which means that this is the starting point for Li Tang to set foot on the mainland.
It's not that I don't want to be called Fulcrum Village, but in this way, others may associate the connection between this Fulcrum Village and Linhai City. Li Tang established the village, and then mobilized a large number of people from the Qiankun bracelet to start building the village, and planned the site according to the standards of the county seat.
In just over a month, the newly-born village has been transformed into a market town and then a county seat. The territory area includes two large canyons that descend from the mountains.
The water resources in this canyon are relatively abundant, and a lot of terraced fields can be cultivated. In line with the principle of not wasting money, Li Tang arranged for many people to go down to the canyon to cultivate, and at the same time, these people also served as the first line to guard the starting point city. This starting point city was still built with walls.
Otherwise, some little rangers will come to make trouble. When the walls were first built, they were not low.
There are two gates in the starting city, which connect the two Grand Canyons respectively. At the same time, the road to the Grand Canyon is connected.
By digging into the mountain, two two-way, four-lane hard passages were dug for the passage of load-bearing carriages.
On the outside, Li Tang also built a three-meter-wide plank road for personnel passage.
Naturally, the roads in the canyon are also of high standard. However, all this is still under construction, and it is estimated that it will take some time to complete it.
The purpose of the establishment of this starting point city is to do business, so at the beginning of construction, Li Tang chose a silver-level village building order. The attribute of the village establishment order is to increase the defense of the territory. Moreover, the avatar spirit used is the Xuanwu spirit, which can also increase the defense of the city wall and the defense of the soldiers.
Moreover, this starting point city, in fact, is not named under Linhai City, it is a separate city. I don't enjoy the attribute bonus of Linhai City.
In order to complete the population upgrade target, Li Tang mobilized a lot of his own family members from Qingtan Town to go to the city, and many people in the city, including almost all the soldiers, were not actually naturalized in the starting point city, but still naturalized in Linhai City, they were just residents of the starting point city.
In today's starting point city, there are 2 third-rate historical generals with SSS qualifications, all of whom were trained by Li Tang himself, and his loyalty to Li Tang is beyond doubt.
In addition, the city also has 10,000 4-star infantry soldiers, who are active on the city walls and all over the city, and can basically deal with most raids and riots.
In addition, there are 2,000 5-star special class strong archers hidden around the city wall, they are the guarantee of the safety of the city, and with them defending the city, even if it is 10 times the opponent, it should not be able to help the city.
Li Tang also arranged 2,000 chaspers, who were active on Da Xian Mountain, while hunting on Da Xian Mountain, hiding their identities, and by the way replenishing the meat consumption in the city, while guarding the starting point city.
Of course, there are actually many places outside the city, and Li Tang also arranged for people to build houses, and many fences were set up around the houses, forming a lot of small villages.
The people mobilized from Qingtan Town basically lived in these villages, and the people in these villages could cultivate the land on the hillside, or go to the valley to cultivate, and they could also raise cattle, raise pigs, plant trees, pick mulberries, etc., while the surrounding wild beasts were cleared by the hunters to ensure that they were not attacked by wild beasts.
Li Tang hopes that these people can produce some diversified food to supplement the consumption of the starting point city, and as for food, it must still need to be purchased.
In order to encourage the people to plant cash crops, Li Tang stipulated that the tax on planting grain is 1 percent, the tax on planting silkworms, cotton and linen, and tobacco is 2 percent, and the cultivation of vegetables, fruits, beans, edible oils, aquatic products, animal husbandry, etc., are all exempt from tax.
As soon as this policy came out, the people naturally cheered. Basically, those people, except for some rations, are planting those daily necessities.
The opening of the starting point city is for business, so those who want to enter the starting point city, regardless of the players or aborigines, Li Tang naturally can't refuse.
Moreover, Li Tang stipulates that anyone who wants to join the starting point city, whether it is a player or an aborigine, will not refuse to come.
However, for the aborigines, they are basically sent to work outside the city to farm. Because, most of the aborigines who want to join are actually going for tax exemption, and if you don't let him go farming, it is estimated that he will leave immediately.
And those aborigines who want to stay in the city to do business, Li Tang is also welcome. The market in this starting point city is particularly large, full of stalls and shops, which are all rented, not sold.
Moreover, there is only one kind of transaction tax in the city, and the transaction tax is charged at 1% for transactions in the city, which is very small for other cities.
