Chapter Eighty-Four: Territorial Upgrades
Looking at Li Wenchang, who was excited, Luo Qing shook his head with a smile and said: "Low-key, in recent times, Sword Island has to try to keep a low profile and not make too much movement." ”
Luo Qing needs to leave Sword Island recently, and without him sitting on Sword Island, all actions in Sword Island naturally have to be careful.
Moreover, this Yuanjing mine is not something that can be mined right away.
After the Yuanjing mine is planted, like other plants, it must also have a growth period and a maturity period.
Although it is also possible to collect metacrystalline ore during the growth period, if this is done, it is bound to greatly reduce the amount of metacrystalline ore.
Therefore, it is best to wait until the Yuanjing ore is completely mature before collecting.
After planting the Yuanjing mine, Luo Qing took Li Wenchang and others to inspect the scope of the Yuanjing mine.
The mining area of this Yuanjing mine is not too large, counting a few nearby hills, it is estimated that it is only a few miles in radius, and as for the depth of the Yuanjing mine, it is impossible to measure at all.
Fortunately, Yuanjing ore is different from other mines, and the Yuanjing ore produces Yuanjing is very pure, as long as it is dug up, it can be used.
Moreover, in this area, the content of metacrystalline ore is quite high, and it is also convenient to collect.
After the Yuanjing mine matures, as long as Luo Qing arranges dozens of miners to come here to mine, the collected Yuanjing will be enough for the initial use of Sword Island.
Returning to the lord's mansion, Li Wenchang, who still had a happy look on his face, opened his mouth and said: "My lord, there is another happy event, the population of Sword Island has reached 30,000, and it seems that many of the plans we made before can be implemented." ”
"Thirty thousand? Luo Qing looked at Li Wenchang in disbelief.
You must know that a population of 30,000 is a watershed for each territory.
After reaching a population of 30,000, the territory can begin to move up, from the first level of the territory to the second level.
Compared to the first-level territory, the second-level territory will have more functions.
For example, in a second-level territory, the soil will become more fertile, and the output of the same land, the land in the second-level territory, will be much higher than that of the first-level territory.
Such fertile land can save a lot of manpower, and in the original situation on Sword Island, one guard needed ten peasants to feed.
Then in the second-level territory, at most, only three peasants can feed one guard.
This is just some of the benefits on the surface, after the territory is upgraded, there are many other benefits.
However, Luo Qing doesn't care about these for the time being, what really makes him care is that after the territory is upgraded, Sword Island can start a large-scale project renovation.
For example, as Luo Qing planned at the beginning, dig a canal between the island in the middle of the lake and the ocean outside to communicate the two.
Then, around the island in the middle of the lake, you can build a dock.
Originally, the sea ships that needed to dock outside the Sword Island could return to the Sword Island to rest and recuperate.
In this way, if Sword Island encounters another foreign enemy, there is no need to worry about the destruction of these sea ships, and the last flaw in Sword Island will also be blocked.
Li Wenchang also knew about Luo Qing's plan, so he brought it up at this moment.
Nodding with a smile, Li Wenchang said: "Yes, my lord, I can be very sure that the population of Sword Island has indeed exceeded 30,000. ”
Luo Qing said curiously: "A few days ago, the population of Sword Island was 30,000, isn't there still a considerable gap. ”
Li Wenchang smiled proudly: "My lord, you ordered me to attack other territories around me, from those territories, I not only plundered back gold coins and other wealth, compared to these wealth, the population in those territories is more precious, since I have encountered it, of course I will not let it go, I selected the absolutely elite population from them, and then brought them back to Sword Island, plus them, the population of my Sword Island, the number is just over 30,000." ”
Luo Qing couldn't help but smile and nodded, "You did a good job, I almost forgot about this." Now that the population of Sword Island is sufficient, you can order someone to start the second phase of the canal project we are planning. ”
With this canal, the shortcomings of Sword Island will be remedied.
Therefore, whether it is Luo Qing or Li Wenchang, they are quite concerned about this canal.
After Luo Qing and Li Wenchang discussed the matter of digging the canal, Luo Qing continued to stay on Sword Island for two days, and only after Li Wenchang organized people to start the second phase of improving the excavation of the canal, Luo Qing quietly left Sword Island again.
Now everything in Sword Island has been regularized, so in a short period of time, there is no need for Luo Qing to worry about anything about Sword Island.
Now, he uses his original identity to go to Middle-earth to make a splash, which is more beneficial to the improvement of his personal strength, and he can also use this to completely hide his true identity.
This is also the reason why Luo Qing told Li Wenchang that Jiandao should keep a low profile recently.
The bronze swordsman is not on Sword Island, if this secret is exposed, the probability of Luo Qing's identity being exposed will be greatly increased.
Take a sea boat ride all the way back to Indochina Island.
This time, Luo Qing did not continue to stay in Indochina, but crossed Hainan City and rushed to Chuzhou in the Middle-earth Continent.
The pattern of Middle-earth inherited the pattern of the Han Dynasty and was distinguished by prefectures and counties, but it was also very different from the Han Dynasty in reality.
For example, this Chuzhou is located in the south of the Middle-earth continent, and it is only separated by a strait from the island of Central South China.
The county seat of Chuzhou, called Chu Feng City, in terms of scale alone, Chu Feng City is several times larger than Hainan City.
Although Chuzhou is also a remote place in the Middle-earth Continent, after all, it is already located on the Middle-earth Continent, and whether it is people's livelihood or other aspects, it is far from being comparable to the isolated Indochina Island.
According to the agreement, the capable people from several other provinces who participated in this event would rush to Chu Feng City and join Luo Qing.
After that, it was time for them to act collectively and rely on their absolute strength to snatch the Taigeng Space Treasure Map.
After taking a sea ship and landing on the boundary of Chuzhou from Zhongnan Island, if you want to hurry, you have to use a mount.
The most common mounts, naturally, are horses.
Even in the previous life, several years after the opening of the Lord Plane World, the most popular mount was still the horse.
But by that time, in addition to horses, many special mounts will appear.
For example, unicorns, black horses, blood beasts, and so on.
The crocodile dragon pool in Luo Qing's hand is the place that can attract crocodiles, and these crocodiles are also extremely high-quality divine beast mounts.
Each of these Divine Beast Mounts is quite valuable, and ordinary people are not qualified to ride these Divine Beast Mounts.
At this time, none of these divine beast mounts appeared.
Luo Qing spent two gold coins to buy a white horse, and then slowly began to rush to Chu Feng City.
The Central South Island, where he is located, is very close to Chu Feng City, and almost none of the capable people in other provinces are located at the boundary of Chu Prefecture, and it is not so easy to rush over, so in terms of time, Luo Qing is not too anxious.
