Sima Fuqiang figured out the two issues he was most concerned about, of course, the problems in Donghai Town are by no means limited to these, but today's time is limited, and the rest will be left for future discussions. He looked at the time and asked Dong'er, "The combat readiness period has ended, don't you go back to the town office to issue the mission?" ”

Dong'er smiled after hearing this, "Since you and Donghai Town have been promoted to the D rank, the Imperial Court will no longer issue tasks for you every day, but will instead issue stage surname tasks. Haven't we already discussed this week's task, to eliminate as many bandits as possible in the territory before the border protection is lifted, and to create the most favorable internal environment for the opening of the border. ”

Huang Zhi couldn't help but exclaim, "Won't our chances of getting points become less in the future?" ”

Dong'er looked at his rare emotional out-of-control appearance, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, "I forgot to tell you that the previous mission points were issued to you by the imperial court. In the future, you will have your own source of income, and the Imperial Court will have no reason to continue to support you. ”

"Source of income?" Huang Zhi looked at her puzzled. This woman's surname has become more and more hateful, and such important information can be concealed and not reported.

Sima Fuqiang suddenly slammed the table, startling everyone in the room, especially several elders who were old, and they almost lost their breath.

He realized that he was too impulsive and smiled awkwardly at everyone before he said what made him so excited, "I finally get it!" I always thought that the promotion of Team Tokai and Tokai Town to the D rank would be the same as skills, and there would be some kind of improvement in ability. Now I finally understand that the so-called rank improvement is the meaning of the imperial court letting us run Donghai Town by ourselves. ”

"That's right." Dong'er nodded, "Donghai Town is already yours, if you can't hold it, you will only have a dead end." On the other hand, if you run well, the income will naturally be high. ”

At this time, Huang Zhi finally understood, "You mean we can take taxes?" ”

"That's right, your head is spinning pretty fast! For the inhabitants of a five-hundred-mile radius of the East China Sea, no one can give you a single point in the value of your taxes every week. Dong'er smiled charmingly at Huang Zhi with satisfaction.

If it weren't for the fact that he already had Li Sha in his heart, and the woman in front of him was not inferior in all aspects of her appearance and figure, Huang Zhi would almost lose his mind and be fascinated by Dong'er.

Sima Fuqiang immediately calculated in his heart, the current population in the East China Sea Territory is about 5,000 people, that is, 5,000 points are provided to the East China Sea team every week. Based on the fact that the East Sea team enters the power dream realm for four days a week, it is distributed to each person, which is about 150 points per day, which is equivalent to the difference between the E and D evaluations of the previous mission.

Such a benefit is pitifully small for the Tokai team, which is good at digging out evaluation improvement factors in battle. However, when considering the future population growth in the East China Sea, the prospects are incalculable. If the East China Sea team can manage this land well, then when the population reaches 50,000, the income will be ten times that of now! That's the equivalent of a rating every day!

Huang Zhi was obviously also calculating this account in his heart, with a fluttering expression on his face. But he suddenly paused, looked up with a puzzled face, and asked, "At present, the five thousand points per week in the East China Sea territory belong to our East China Sea team?" Or does Donghai Town also need to rely on this tax revenue to cover the development costs? ”

It seems that Dong'er, this woman, consciously wants to hide half of what she says, if you don't ask, don't expect her to take the initiative to make it clear. At this time, she answered Huang Zhi's question honestly, "You are half right, the development of Donghai Town does need funds, but you don't need to bear it at this stage." Facilities such as stables, blacksmiths, and grocery stores are profitable in their own right, and are sufficient to sustain their own development. ”

"The town guard and the Council of Elders don't make any profit." For fear that this woman would deliberately ignore these two functional buildings, Sima Fuqiang had to remind him at any time.

"Yes, but since these two buildings were built before the end of last week, the Imperial Court has already advanced a month's operating expenses to them. In other words, you don't have to worry about it until next month. ”

Elder Shui Xuan also interjected at this time, "We old men don't need to guard the hearts of adults, it is our wish to be able to contribute to Donghai Town, it doesn't matter what it is, the family can still support us." It's just that the young men in the town guard are all strong laborers, and the pillars of the family, if there is a lack of military salaries, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. ”

At this time, Huang Zhi finally saw that his favorability was still silently playing a role, and he was able to make these elders put forward their wishes for free service.

"That's right, and the current size of the town guard is not enough to support the entire territory within a radius of five hundred miles." Dong'er added, "The establishment of this 100-strong town guard was only based on the need for a garrison within a radius of 50 miles. At this time, to protect this hundred-fold territory, you need at least 10,000 or more standing troops to be enough. ”

The number of "10,000 ......" made Sima Fuqiang's eyes black. The population of the East China Sea Territory is currently only 5,000 people, and even if the whole people are not taxed, there is still a gap of 5,000 people.

However, Dong'er's blow is not over, "Let's talk about half of what you said wrong, the current taxpayer population of Donghai Town is only 300 people, that is, the villagers of Donghai Nine Villages. As for the other 4,000 or so people, you must try to get them to accept your rule before they are included in the tax. If taxes are forcibly collected, it will only force the people to rebel and increase the population of bandits or rebels. ”

This is not a blow to the two members of the Donghai team, after all, they are both confident in Huang Zhi's "social" skills. As long as the surrounding bandits can be successfully exterminated, I believe that as long as Huang Zhi comes out, these people will be in the bag. But in the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the premise of exterminating the bandits.

"Alright, let's talk about how to clean up the bandits around us." Sima Fuqiang felt that it might not be wise to think too far ahead at this time, and it was more practical to face the difficulties in front of him pragmatically.

"Regarding the issue of bandits, we suggest that the town guard go and talk to Wu Qiang of the town guard, they have been working on the exploration of the bandit forces in the past few days, and it has been fruitful." Elder Zhu Yan, who had been very quiet, spoke only at this time.

The kindness on the old woman's face reminded Huang Zhi of his mother who lived in the countryside. If it weren't for the fact that he was now troubled by the dream world, he might not see the sun tomorrow at any time, and he really wanted to take Lisa home for the elders to see.

Thinking of tomorrow's sun, Huang Zhi suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering him for a long time, "Dong'er, why is Donghai Town always night?" ”

Hearing this, the elders' faces changed, and they all stood up regardless of etiquette. Represented by Shui Xuan, he came out and sued him, "Let's avoid it." ”

When the old people all went out, Dong'er glanced at Huang Zhi, "Speaking of this problem, it's not the fault of the people in your dreams!" But if you want to see the sun, you can go outside the town, where the day and night are normal. ”

Although her answer was vague, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi had an understanding, and the two made eye contact directly. In the end, it was decided that Huang Zhilai, who had stronger "social" skills, would dig out this big secret belonging to the dream world from Dong'er's mouth.

Huang Zhi pondered for a long time before asking in a consultative tone, "I'm sorry that our dream man has brought such untold trouble to Donghai Town, but can you explain the reason?" I'm sure you know. ”

Dong'er replied angrily, "Of course I know, otherwise why would those elders avoid it." Although this is confidential information, the Imperial Court has not forbade me to answer you. As the passage for people in their dreams to enter and exit this world, the nine towns of Dongzhou will never have daylight. Only by keeping the eternal night alive can you guys come and go as you please. ”
