Chapter 37: Aborigines! Ask for a referral ticket
A wide stone road leads to the Home Office.
The restored dungeon is much cleaner at once, and there are exotic stone houses on both sides of the road, which are prepared for the powerful creatures inside the dungeon in the future. For example, Zhao Futu now has the power to appoint treasurers and garrisons, and he can appoint his subordinates as administrators of the dungeons, and they can do things such as taxes, patrols, defense, and so on.
As a well-established extended plane with corresponding rules, dungeons certainly can't be a complete mess.
It is impossible for heroes to bring all the armies with them when they go on the expedition, and the maintenance, taxation, and defense of the city are all very important points. This is just a remote area, if it is in the core of the underground world and the human kingdom of the surface world, then the population of a city is also very amazing, with the civilization of this plot plane, a city with a population of hundreds of thousands is not an exaggeration!
In fact, because this is an unexplored ancient ruin, there are wild nests similar to the Bio Arsenal.
But if it were in other places, such as Erathia and the Reagan core territory, the creature nests in those places would have almost disappeared. Even if there are some intact ones, they have been properly preserved by the major forces. Basically, organisms elsewhere have multiplied and expanded into natural races for thousands of years.
This is especially true for humans, who, as one of the native races, basically do not have any nests in the wild.
However, there are quite a few training camps and gladiatorial arenas on human territory.
………………
"Huh?"
Zhao Futu looked at the property page of the dungeon, and suddenly wondered, "What is this?" ”
Take a closer look.
He immediately found that in the dungeon city management page, a new statistics page was displayed.
At the top is his dungeon income, which includes city taxes, poll taxes, trade taxes, etc., of which the city itself earns 500 gold coins per week, because the council hall is still not finished, if Zhao Futu repairs it. The weekly income of the city can reach 1000 gold coins. The highest level is the Congress, and if you move up to the Congress level, you will automatically get 4,000 gold coins every week!
The second is the poll tax.
The poll tax is mostly limited to the lowest creatures of each race, such as the dungeons, whose source of the poll tax is the cavemen.
Cave people recruited by Zhao Futu will not be able to receive the poll tax, but those who are not recruited by him and gather to live in the dungeon will be able to collect a poll tax of 1 gold coin per week. In the Underworld, dungeons will automatically attract nearby creatures, and the Dungeon Master can decide whether to accept them or not.
If accepted, these creatures will settle in the dungeon!
But. Even if they settle in dungeons, they are not necessarily recruitable troops, as they also need to be assimilated.
Most of the people who will be attracted to the dungeon are low-level intelligent creatures, and the high-level creatures are rarely attracted, and more often they are subdued by a powerful British oblique!
The third is the trade tax, which at the moment there is not a penny.
Because this place is too remote, Zhao Futu has just occupied, and there is no communication with the outside world at all, so trade naturally does not exist.
………………
It's not the same as Zhao Futu's memory.
After he captured the dungeon. There is also an expenditure page in the city's revenue statistics.
Among them, the expenditure is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is urban maintenance, and the other is military consumption, and urban maintenance does not consume much. That is, the daily consumption of officials only needs to spend 100 gold coins a week. However, the military expenditure of the second article is not a small amount, and it actually adds up to nearly 800 gold coins. When Zhao Futu noticed this, a note automatically appeared on it. It shows that the military cost is 10% of the mob recruitment cost.
"Military spending?"
Zhao Futu muttered to himself suspiciously: "Why didn't I use military funds at the beginning, but after I occupied a dungeon, I needed military funds?" ”
"If I hadn't captured the dungeon?"
"So what happens in a week? Is it necessary to consume military spending? Or will they sneak away? ”
………………
Pieces add up. Zhao Futu actually found that his weekly income had to be upside down with four or five hundred gold coins.
This made him feel quite speechless!
The Interior Department repair costs 10 units of wood and 2,000 Laws of Gold. The cost of the entire dungeon for a week is also about 1,000 law gold coins, and if he can repair the Internal Affairs Department, he will basically maintain the same income for a week. However, wood is not very common in the underworld, and he needs to go out and find it, preferably to carve out a lumberyard.
"I took down the Minotaur Lair and the Medusa Lair, and I gained about 15,000 Law Gold Coins, if I save a little bit, I should be able to support the establishment of the Council, and I should have a lot more income at that time." Zhao Futu killed the two large monster nests entrenched here, and naturally it was impossible for him to gain nothing, so the law gold coins in his hand were barely enough.
There are many things on my mind.
Zhao Futu left a part of the army to guard the dungeon, and then took the Medusa hero Melina out to occupy the resource point.
He needs resources such as wood, ore, gems, crystals, etc., and if he can, he hopes to build a first-level magic tower as soon as possible, but what makes him quite speechless is that even with the power of the law of the nightmare space, he also needs to consume 10,000 law gold coins, 10 units of wood, 10 units of ore, 5 units of gems and 5 units of crystals to build a first-level magic tower. This huge consumption of resources far exceeded Zhao Futu's estimate, and he found that the real evolved world was obviously very different from what he thought.
As soon as he led the army out of the city gate, Zhao Futu quickly discovered a very strange thing.
Because a large group of cave people actually ran in front of him without knowing whether they were alive or dead, he had a little impression of these cave people, as if they were in a mine near his life, and there were about two or three hundred of them. After these cave people appeared in front of Zhao Futu, they immediately fell to the ground with a hula and worship, and then a cave man who looked like a leader cautiously ran in front of Zhao Futu, muttering something in his mouth.
Then, the cold chime of the nightmare space sounded:
"Contractor number 1013, a group of cavemen have asked to join your city as natives, who will work for you and provide taxes, or join your army to fight! Yes/No Agree? ”
………………
[Hint: The doppelgangers of the dungeon dungeon, from lowest to highest, are slaves (hard laborers), aborigines (can be recruited as armies), and free people (miners, blacksmiths, and professionals). 】
………………
"Agreed!" Zhao Futu thought for a moment, then nodded.
Immediately after, a blood-red light appeared, but this time it was not from the nightmare mark on his body, but directly from the huge nine-pointed star formation in the dungeon, and then turned into a curtain of light and shrouded the body of this group of cave people. After a few moments, a hint of blood red appeared in their eyes, and then disappeared without a trace, but a faint mark was left on their bodies.
When all this was done, the cold chime of the nightmare space sounded:
"Contractor number 1013, your city [Night City] has 246 more cavemen to recruit!"
Zhao Futu opened the dungeon page and saw that there were indeed a number of options for recruiting cavemen, but there were also other options besides recruiting as an army. For example, the daily maintenance of a dungeon requires the consumption of twenty units of the creature base (i.e., the lowest-level creatures, farmers and the like can also do it, most of them as slaves, as low-level labor for dungeon maintenance). )
In addition to this, the abandoned pits he occupied also required the cavemen to be sent to mine.
Because of the addition of these cave people, Zhao Futu's city income suddenly increased by more than two hundred gold coins, which are the cave people's weekly poll tax, as long as he appoints a tax officer, then these money will be delivered to him on time every Monday. Basically, the source of income in the large cities is mainly based on the poll tax, or the labor value of low-level creatures is squeezed.
As soon as Zhao Futu agreed, those cave people immediately happily dragged their families towards the dungeon.
This is a relatively complete tribe of cave people, in addition to seeing warriors, Zhao Futu also saw a lot of old and weak women and children, the overall number should exceed three hundred, but the standard of nightmare space statistics is only 246, it may be that the nightmare space statistics will eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled. The cavemen, with pots and pans, rudimentary iron and stone tools, and the grain they stored, were haphazardly moved into a dark cavern near the corner of the dungeon.
It was originally intended for cave people, and could be expanded with the size of the population.
Cave people are very easy to feed, a single dug hole can feed hundreds, they need a very low living environment, only a piece of land can grow underground mushrooms can grow wildly.
However, apart from the cavemen, the other creatures of the underworld are not very easy to feed.
In the process of moving these hundreds of cave people, Zhao Futu actually saw more than a dozen very unexpected creatures, which looked a bit like pigs, but the physique was much thinner, and the mouth was always humming and chirping, surrounded by a group of cave people, a bit like captive domestic animals. When Zhao Futu cast his eyes on it, a name Pig Beast immediately popped up on the head of this creature!
It seems that the cavemen of the underworld are not simply mushrooms and hunters for a living, and it seems that they can also master some other abilities.
