Chapter 34: The Neighbor Appears
It is said that sometimes, if you really want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow. www.biquge.info As soon as Li Tang left the barracks, the Howling Sky Dog immediately came to find him.
The Howling Sky Dog has not been idle in the past few days, he has simply explored the situation of the 10,000 square kilometers of Penghu Island, which is close to Linhai Town, in a radius of 60,000 square kilometers.
It turns out that this Penghu Island is very lively.
Not to mention the distance, let's just say that the closest to Linhai Town, is on the other side of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain is a large flat terrain, and at the foot of the mountain there is really a small river ditch, leading to the sea.
Walking 20 miles upstream along the river, there will be a large cottage surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The architectural style seen from the air is completely different from that of Linhai Town in the Han Dynasty. called a few generals who were familiar with Penghu Island to identify it, and they all agreed that this must be a gathering place for Shengfan.
In front of the gathering place, a lot of paddy fields have been cultivated, and there are people looking for work in the fields.
Originally, the diet of Shengban was mainly cereals and roots, and generally millet, rice, potatoes, and taro were commonly eaten, with miscellaneous grains, wild vegetables, and prey.
In the mountainous areas, millet and upland rice are the main grains, and in the plains, rice is the main food. In normal times, it is mainly based on agriculture and animal husbandry, supplemented by gathering and hunting, and the people of the Han Dynasty mainly focus on agriculture and animal husbandry is still slightly different. However, it can be regarded as a well-developed civilization, and it is only higher than that of nomads.
Now it seems that Shengfan is basically a farmer and herdsman, unlike slash-and-burn farming as Li Tang began to hear, and hunts and eats reindeer for a living.
Li Tang took a look, the scale of this cottage is only a lot bigger than Linhai Town, and the straight-line distance from Li Tang's Linhai Town on the Penghu topographic map is only 27 miles.
However, if you want to get there, unless you have a plane, you will either have to cross the mountains behind Linhai Town, which is estimated to be more than 50 miles away. If you want to walk along the ridge, you have to travel at least 70-80 miles. If you take the water, you should be able to get there, but it is estimated that it will take 300 miles.
Of course, this village is only a relatively medium one. In this area of 10,000 square kilometers, there are about two villages like this large, both of which are located near mountains and rivers.
In addition, there are 4 smaller ones, 2 in the middle of the mountainside and 2 next to the lake.
There is also a small town, also next to this lake, there is a small river that leads to the sea, this small town is in this bay, surrounded by fertile fields, there is a wharf by the lake, and some fishing boats are docked.
Li Tang took a closer look at these villages, and found no obvious road leading to the sea or other villages. It is estimated that there should not be too frequent contact between these villages, cottages, and small towns.
In addition, 6 coastal villages and towns have also been discovered, and the architectural style is similar to the style of the Han Dynasty, which is estimated to be the remnants of the Han Dynasty or pirates.
I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!
There are so many neighbors living around me! Even if it is the smallest village, the number of people should be much less than that of Linhai Town!
If there is a famine year, or if they engage in some kind of farming and leisurely travel, I am afraid that they will be choked enough!
In addition, I must send a large number of miners and lumberjacks into the mountains to mine and log.
Li Tang immediately summoned Ye Biao, Ye Ju, Tsunami, Nie Jun and Ye Hui, who had returned, and other civil and military generals to discuss the future development direction. Many of these people are familiar with pirates and students.
Of course, everyone discusses major matters in the administrative center, there is a small meeting hall, everyone sits on both sides, and Li Tang sits in the main seat.
Of course, Li Tang let the carpenter produce a lot of chairs, not really like the Han Dynasty, everyone knelt on both sides, and Li Tang himself couldn't stand it!
Therefore, the important work of the carpentry workshop now is to make chairs for everyone, otherwise what is the matter of having a meal and kneeling on the tatami mats!
Li Tang was the first to speak:
"Everyone, you are all the guardians of Linhai Town, and the smooth upgrade of Linhai Town from Linhai Village to the present is all due to you. Everyone, you have worked hard, please accept me here to worship the people of the town. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Tang got up and shook himself to the ground in front of everyone.
Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted:
"It is incumbent upon me to share the worries of the lord."
Li Tang said again:
"Now that we have developed to a critical point, even if we upgrade to the county seat, the conditions are not very mature, as long as we find that mysterious item. Do you know what a mysterious object is? ”
Everyone shook their heads one after another, saying that they had no clue.
"How did so many other towns get upgraded?"
Li Tang asked in confusion, no one knew, it was really strange.
"Back to the lord, those cities generally existed very early, and no one has ever heard of someone who can upgrade a market town to a county seat. However, presumably these cities did not appear out of thin air, and should have been upgraded by market towns, but it has been too long for anyone to know. ”
Ye Biao replied. Now that it has been upgraded to a town, it is no longer like the clan in the village, so Ye Biao took the lead in changing the name of Li Tang, but no matter in public and private, Li Tang still calls Ye Biao his uncle.
When Li Tang heard Ye Biao say this, he immediately understood that when the system created this game world, the cities were all built.
In the memory of the aborigines, they lived in villages, towns and cities for generations, and rebuilt when the city was broken.
No one has ever tried to upgrade a market town to a city, even if there are hundreds of thousands of people in some market towns, and they are still market towns.
In this way, no one knows the key to upgrading to the city.
It seems that the system is reluctant for someone to develop too fast. deliberately set the threshold, so that everyone can't upgrade the city, and they all stagnate at the market town level, so that future generations can catch up!
However, it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as the population increases to a certain extent, the number of certain buildings can also be relaxed. It's not that because the market town is too small, there is a population limit.
In this case, it's useless to entangle, it seems that there is no clue to upgrade to the county seat, so let's make a small town!
"In this case, it is estimated that it will not be an overnight thing to upgrade to a county seat, let's think about it in the long run!"
Li Tang smiled very indifferently.
"There is one more thing to invite you to come here today. I recently got a treasure, I would like to invite you to take a look! ”
"What kind of treasure deserves so much attention from the lord?"
When Li Tang opened the Penghu topographic map and fixed the picture 100 meters above Linhai Town, everyone was amazed! When Li Tang showed the topographic map functions one by one, everyone was even more praised!
At this time, I saw the tsunami coming out of the ranks, kneeling down to Li Tang and saying:
"Congratulations to the lord for obtaining this treasure, with the help of this treasure, the Penghu Islands will be pacified like a bag!"
Among the people, Tsunami is from a professional class and has the highest strategic vision, so as soon as Tsunami saw this treasure, he immediately understood the huge role of this thing in the military, which can be called an artifact!
Even when Li Tang got this thing, he only thought that this thing was a chicken rib, and it was not as good as a pet eagle that could carry people. This is the limitation of life experience on a person's gaze.
When everyone saw the tsunami say this, they immediately understood the great benefits of this thing for the march and battle, after all, knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles! That is to say, even if you don't win a hundred battles, you won't lose! And they all said together:
"Congratulations, congratulations. I wish the lord to unify the Penghu Islands. ”
At this time, when everyone saw that Li Tang could have this artifact, they were all greatly admired. thinks that Li Tang is an atmospheric transporter, and he can naturally make some achievements by following Li Tang.
After all, no one wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives, especially the Chinese people who were influenced by Confucius and Mencius.
They are glad that they can submit to Li Tang, if you look at the loyalty now, those generals whose loyalty was only 60+, 70+ are now generally 80+.
Therefore, everyone originally called Li Tang a lord, but they only admitted that Li Tang was the owner of the territory, and he was just living on the territory, and he was not Li Tang's retainer general.
Now calling the lord is naturally to recognize Li Tang as the master, and bet his whole person on Li Tang.
In this regard, Li Tang was naturally overjoyed and ordered to reward all military generals, including all important special talents.
Anyway, Li Tang has nothing else, but he still has some gold coins, 50-100 gold coins per person, which is indeed a huge amount of money for individuals.
You know, this money is 500,000-1 million soft girl coins in reality!
In this regard, Li Tang is in pain!
In addition, the generals and civil servants are equipped with 2-6 rattan armor guards. After all, these civil and military generals are Li Tang's heart, and if they are killed, they will lose a lot.
Everyone is naturally very grateful for this!
After the reward was completed, Li Tang naturally "inadvertently" clicked on the sky above the village not far from Linhai Town when he was enjoying the Penghu topographic map.
Nie Jun next to him naturally discovered this village with a very eye-catching eye.
So everyone's attention shifted to the stockade. Seeing that this village is not far from Linhai Town, and the scale is not small, there was a lot of discussion.
"I thought that this village didn't provoke us, and the scale is not small, I heard that Shengfan is extremely good at fighting in the jungle and mountains, so it is better not to provoke us, lest the town never have peace."
It was Ye Biao who provoked the conversation in the village, he saw Li Tang's performance, he naturally knew Li Tang's thoughts, and it was also for the development of the town and the safety of the people in the territory, he deliberately provoked the conversation! Stir up the crowd.
"The deputy mayor is wrong! If we don't provoke him, he may not provoke us. ”
"Not to mention, one day they'll attack us. Even if we don't attack, our subjects go up to the mountains to gather, hunt, mine, and log, and what should we do if we encounter a raw fan! ”
"We can live in harmony with the students, but can they live in harmony with us? Only a thousand days to be a thief, where is the reason for a thousand days to prevent thieves? ”
The tsunami next to him also reacted at this time, and naturally echoed. Now that they have a group of generals who have prospered and lost both with Linhai Town, if they want to get more power and make Linhai Town achieve greater development, they naturally have to occupy more land and get more people.
"The gods are vicious, all the people are soldiers, and our troops are limited, how can it be good!"
It was Ye Ju who said this, and it was clear that Shengfan was powerful in his words, but he had limited troops on his side, and it was obvious that he looked down on a group of generals and thought that they couldn't beat Shengfan.
Everyone is not stupid, and they can naturally hear the subtext in the words, but they can only put the fire in their stomachs, and they can't vent it. Because it was Li Tang's cousin who spoke, she was a woman, where was it good to get angry, and what others said was not unreasonable.
"Shengfan doesn't know the art of war, in my opinion, it's a local chicken! Give me 1,000 people, and I'll destroy this cottage! ”
"Those monkeys who can only climb mountains and trees, I only need 500 people!"
……
Ye Ju's words completely aroused the devil in the hearts of the men present, and they no longer thought about whether to attack the village, why they should attack the village!
Instead, think about how many troops to send and how to break through the cottage. After all, before, everyone didn't dare to boast, but now that there is a topographic map of Penghu comparable to an artifact, it is as simple as searching for a village.
Since everyone has unified the caliber, they must break through the cottage here, and all that remains is how to go to the cottage, how many people to send, and how to break the village.
The safest way to get there is to take a boat.
