Chapter Seventy-Three: Thinking Too Much
Escorted by Rhodok soldiers, he walked around the town of Qilindao, and although there was only a patch of yellow sand outside, he was in a much better mood for a walk.
After returning to the town, he also began to try to devote his energy to the development of Calradia.
After opening the map and looking at the area he had just gone out to explore, Qi Lin called six temporarily idle peasant uncles.
"Here, here...... And here, in these places, watch towers must be erected, and here, a wall will be erected for me. After selecting the embodiment function of the map, a paper map appeared in Qi Lin's hand, and then he stretched out his finger and pointed to several locations in the map, and said to the farmers gathered around him.
"Understood! Checkmate! The six peasants nodded in response.
"By the way, how's the upgrade of the base?"
Long before leaving, Qi Lin directly exchanged RMB for huàn enough resources and transferred them to the center of the town to upgrade the technology level of this imperial base.
The Black Iron Age was too weak, and although Qi Lin's source of funds had been interrupted now, the previous collection had also accumulated a lot of resources for him.
So he didn't intend to waste most of the world in the low-end Black Iron Age, because compared to the Roman Empire at this time, the Black Iron Age was too backward, even worse than the militia defending the city when he attacked the town before.
But what makes Qi Lin feel like a cheat is that if you want to upgrade the base, or produce buildings or units in the empire, you must have the corresponding resources, that is, gold, stone and food in the game, and the system's RMB cannot be used directly at all.
Fortunately, the ratio of this to huàn is only 1:1, although Qi Lin still feels pitted, but he can only accept his fate, and just wait to find resources in the future and take a look.
"It's about seventy percent done, General." One of the peasants replied.
"Seventy percent? It's okay, it's pretty fast......" Qi Lin nodded, and then waved his hand at the peasants, "Okay, there's nothing else, let's go." ”
"Yes, General!"
After watching the peasants disperse, Qi Lin walked to the barracks again.
Coming to the gate of the barracks, Qi Lin found that more than a dozen people had been occupied here.
After opening the Age of Empires system and comparing it, Qi Lin learned that the dozen or so guys wearing cloth armor and holding maces turned out to be militiamen.
"What a pit...... Qi Lin grinned, and after comparing the Rhodok soldiers who were following him, he didn't hesitate to doubt, "These guys, do they really have combat effectiveness?" Looking at it like this, it was really a wise choice for us to rush to upgrade the technology level before! ”
However, even if he doubted the combat effectiveness of these militiamen, Qi Lin still sent them out to protect the six peasant uncles who had left the town to carry out their own mission.
No matter how scummy it is, if you delay the farmer's uncle for time to escape, you should still be able to do it, right?
There is no doubt that these militiamen were directly divided into the ranks of cannon fodder by Qi Lin.
Unless they can survive to the tech level in the center of the town and successfully transfer to become a swordsman.
"It seems that the next level of basic infantry is called a swordsman, right?"
After seeing these so-called militiamen, Qi Lin said that he was not disappointed, but it was fake.
These militias, in Qi Lin's eyes, are probably not even as capable as those who resisted when they attacked this town before.
At least they still have swords and spears, and some of them wear bronze armor.
Now it seems that even if his town is upgraded and reaches the level of feudal era, the soldiers produced are only the level of people's militia.
In other words, it is very likely that Qi Lin will have to raise the technology level to the imperial era before he is eligible to fight the Roman army.
Although it is not known when the Romans in other places will know about the situation here, Qi Lin Gong feels that this time will not be too long, and after that, it is very likely that it will be the army of the Roman Empire.
"Time is ticking!" After muttering, Qi Lin walked briskly towards the center of the town.
At this time, the town, which was named Calradia by Qilin, had completely changed its original appearance after these three days.
Most of the original Roman-style mud houses have been replaced by another kind of architecture, with wooden walls, straw-paved roofs, and buildings with early Chinese style appearing in this dry land.
Of course, these building materials were converted by Qi Lin with the system's RMB.
Qi Lin guessed that this was probably the reason why buildings and character units in the Imperial Era could not be built directly using RMB.
After arriving in the center of the town, Qi Lin unexpectedly found several Rhodok sergeants here, and it was obvious that these sergeants should have been waiting for him here for a long time.
But what he cared about the most were the big boxes at their feet.
Seeing Qi Lin coming, before he could ask a question, a Sergeant Rhodok stepped forward, saluted Qi Lin respectfully, and then said with a happy face (hallucination): "General, we found several cellars during our search, and there were a lot of gold coins, wine, and food hidden in them. ”
"How many?" Qi Lin asked.
"There are a lot of gold coins, and we haven't had time to count them yet, but the amount of food and wine will probably be counted by then, and it will only be enough for two or three hundred people to use it for more than a month." Sergeant Rhodok thought for a moment and said.
"Is that so?" After hearing the other party's answer, Qi Lin frowned, although the specific amount of food and wine was, listening to the other party's tone (hallucination), it didn't seem to be a lot.
However, thinking that there were only two or three hundred people in this town, Qi Lin was relieved.
"Divide the wine brothers among themselves, and if you find the gold coins, you will be rewarded with 10 gold coins for each brother who finds the cellar, and the rest will be given to the commoners (peasant uncles) to transport here." Qi Lin said.
Those drinks are of no use to Qi Lin, the town center of the Imperial Age does not approve of these drinks, and Qi Lin does not like the taste of these wines, so it is better to reward these cavalry soldiers, and they should be able to brush up on favorability.
Ever since he learned about the relationship between these cavalry units and himself, Qi Lin's eyes on these Rhodok soldiers have changed, and he is always a little worried about whether they will be dissatisfied with him because of the injustice of some things.
But in fact, he thought too much.
In fact, according to the meaning of the system prompt, as long as Qi Lin does not owe the wages of these cavalry soldiers, then even if Qi Lin asks them to die, these cavalry and chopping units will not hesitate to carry it out without complaint.
It's a pity that Qi Lin always likes to miss something when he hears people.
And now, the content he missed seemed to be very important.
"Yes, General."
Seeing Sergeant Narodok salute himself gratefully (hallucinatingly) and turn to leave, Qi Lin's heart was also relieved.
"Whew, it looks like they're happy with my distribution method!"
