"I haven't come out for a few days, and the foundation of the castle is almost ready! The construction progress is so fast! It seems that it is really right to leave the affairs of the territory to you!" "At the construction site of Xinya Fort, about a kilometer north of Xinya Village, Luo Sheng looked at the foundation that had been basically completed, and said to Alyssa with a smile. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The raid on Fishgill Island eliminated the one-eyed shark pirate and eliminated part of the security crisis in the territory, but the threat of the fish-men was not completely solved. Therefore, after returning from Yugill Island, in addition to his own practice, Luo Sheng devoted a large part of his energy to studying the materials left behind by Diallo and the Spirit Calmoner, trying to figure out the trade between the One-Eyed Shark Pirates and the Fishmen of the Blue Frost Clan, and barely paid much attention to the construction of the territory.

When Luo Sheng's research had some gains, and when he came out to accompany Alyssa, he found that the construction speed of the territory was beyond imagination. Thanks to the hard work of the villagers and the pirate captives, not only were the wooden houses for the common people fully built, but the port wharf was expanded, and even the most labor-intensive castle foundations were almost completed. This kind of progress is twice as fast as Luo Sheng expected.

"Actually, thanks to you, you suppressed those pirates. If it weren't for those professional laborers, the progress would not have been so fast. Alyssa said with a smile.

The current work of territorial construction, whether it is logging, quarrying, or transporting materials, requires a strong labor force. When doing these jobs, the efficiency of professionals is sometimes several times that of ordinary people. Relatively powerful professionals, in some special jobs, can even be used by ten people.

However, generally speaking, those who can become professionals will basically become warriors or mercenaries, and basically take combat as a profession. If you need it temporarily, there's nothing wrong with asking a professional for help, but if you want to use a black iron rank or even a bronze rank fighter as labor, it will be very unrealistic, and if you really want to do this, it will be considered an insult to the war officer. Therefore, when the territory was built before, only in the work that ordinary people could not bear, only professionals were invited to help, and most of the other work was completed by the cooperation of ordinary people, so the progress can only be regarded as good.

And after Luo Sheng brought back this group of pirate captives, the situation changed greatly. In addition to the hundreds of elite ordinary pirates captured by this group, there are also dozens of black iron rank warriors, and the number of bronze ranks is not small, in terms of combat power alone, this group of pirates is even stronger than the iron shield mercenary group. And because these people are prisoners, they basically have no 'human rights', and even if they are professionals, they have to bear heavy labor and are called as coolies.

As a result, many tasks that would have required the cooperation of many people and were not very efficient, such as carrying large rocks and giant logs, were handed over to the professional captives, and the efficiency was greatly improved. In addition, Alyssa has made reasonable overall planning for various tasks, and all aspects of the construction are well connected, and the construction progress is naturally much faster.

"It's better to make the rules you made. Not only the pirates, but even those ordinary villagers don't dare to be lazy now. If it were for the pressure alone, these pirates would not have worked so actively. Looking at the pirate captives with chains on the construction site, but still working hard, Luo Sheng said with a smile.

After Rason handed over the disposal of the pirates to Alyssa, the first thing Alyssa did was to ask Charles to take the heads of many leaders of the One-Eyed Shark Pirates to all the surrounding villages and issue the lord's summoning order again. Ordered all villages to send at least 200 strong laborers to serve in the sprouts.

Different from the previous perfunctory attitude, after hearing that the one-eyed shark pirates were exterminated by the lord and seeing the heads of many leaders of the one-eyed shark, all the villages that received the order did not hesitate to send labor to the new sprout territory according to Alyssa's order. To be able to survive in the Northland, the leaders of each village are not fools, and they are all very aware of the strength of the one-eyed shark, and they have all been killed by the one-eyed shark. Now that such a powerful force as the One-Eyed Shark Pirates have been directly uprooted by the new lord, if they don't know each other again, the consequences can be imagined.

With more than a dozen villages and thousands of strong laborers in hand, Alyssa changed the situation in one fell swoop. Originally, hundreds of pirate captives were frightened, but after all, they were numerous and strong. It would be difficult to completely suppress it with the people that Elisa had at hand alone. Although there are Luo Sheng and Magic Light No. 7, these people don't dare to really rebel, but they don't really work hard because of the large number of people and the lack of supervision personnel.

But with the addition of the villagers, the numerical advantage of the pirates disappeared completely. After being dispersed, each pirate was surrounded by more than one village superintendent, and in this case, the pirate's life suddenly became sad. After all, there is a deep grudge between the villagers and the pirates, and it is relatively rude to not want to torture the pirates. Pirates are completely pipe dreaming if they want to be lazy again.

However, Alyssa did not completely let the villagers who joined later bully the pirate captives. After the staff was in place, Alyssa did a consolidation of the entire team. With the exception of those in the profession, all ordinary people are divided into three classes.

The first class is the first villagers to be Luo Yuanli, mainly the villagers of Xinya Village, and a small number of people from the other two villages. Because of their hard work, they can not only get the best wages, but also enjoy other benefits, such as adding a little more meat to their meals, and rewarding them with some cloth from the Kingdom of Elson. They also give top priority when it comes to choosing managers.

The second class is the people who came to force Luo after receiving the second summoning order, as well as some of the people who were rescued by Luo Sheng from Pirate Island. Although these people can also eat on the construction site, their wages are more than half that of the first-class people.

The third class is the pirate captives, and those who are found to be lazy and slippery in their labor, and even to engage in sabotage. These people are responsible for the hardest and heaviest work, but they are only fed inferior food and have no wages. If there is a problem in the work, the pirates will be executed in public, and the villagers will be punished heavily.

Of course, Alyssa did not completely solidify these three strata. Those who perform well in labor and have made outstanding contributions can improve their rank. And if you make mistakes at work, you will be demoted accordingly.

And for the sinful pirates, Alyssa did not completely block their ascent. As long as they serve honestly, if they continue to perform well, Alyssa promises them three years later, they can get civilian status. If there is a major meritorious service, such as a pirate assigned to open a new logging field, when a shulker cheetah attacked the team, he fought bravely and rescued his companion at the cost of his own serious injuries, so he was directly given the status of a lord.

In this way, those second-class lords not only dare not be lazy and slippery, but some of them will be quite motivated. After all, there is still a big gap between the first and second classes, and for the people of Hokuriku, who are quite poor, better food and more wages are enough for them to work hard. And the first-class lords didn't dare to slack off too much because they were in danger of being demoted, and the pirates who worked frantically in order to become civilians and not be executed, the overall efficiency was suddenly improved.

"Without your support, my idea would not have been able to be implemented. Alyssa said with a smile.

This set of policies formulated by Alyssa is not without opposition. Especially those villages that came to serve Luo Sheng in the sprout after receiving the second summoning order, they were very dissatisfied with the fact that they could only be classified as second-class, although they did not dare to directly resist Luo Sheng, who had just eliminated the one-eyed shark pirates, but they had secretly conspired and wanted to exert pressure on Alyssa and Luo Sheng in the form of collective sabotage and 'non-violent non-cooperation'.

But in the face of this pressure, Luo Sheng not only did not compromise, but also used spells to torture the two masterminds, directly executed, and put dozens of organizers into the third rank, forcefully suppressed this rebellion, and gave Alyssa the greatest support.

"The two of us don't have to talk about that. Luo Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the problems we are facing now." ”

"If you want to talk about the problem, the first thing should be the shortage of materials. Although we brought a lot of supplies from Elson and brought back a large amount of supplies from Pirate Island, the amount of work consumed by thousands of people working every day was too large. In particular, at the current rate of consumption, we are afraid that we will be able to sustain it for more than two months at most. If a new batch of people returned, the situation would probably be even worse. Alyssa said with a slight concern.

At present, the super-fast construction speed of the sprout collar is at the cost of the rapid consumption of various materials and food. If you want people to work hard, you must make people eat and drink well. Even the lowest-class pirates have to fill their stomachs. So the amount of food consumed is extremely staggering. Even if Luo Sheng was well prepared and had the capture of Yugill Island, it would be difficult to hold out for too long.

And in the process of building a territory, it is not only necessary to have wood and stone, many times, some other materials are also needed, such as ropes, nails, gums and other miscellaneous materials. Although these rasheng things were prepared, the consumption was quite large, and Hokuriku was rarely able to replenish them, so the stock became quite dangerous.

"It's not a big problem. The fleet from the port of Renta is already coming. With this batch of supplies, we should have no problem surviving the winter. And the Arcane Radiance Chamber of Commerce will also help us make two more trips, what supplies are needed, make a list for me, and Brady will help us deliver them next time. Luo Sheng replied calmly.

"But we don't have any money. Alyssa frowned and said, "Although I know that Elous should be able to get a lot of money from Master Bunier for your face, but if we don't make the money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain it in the future." ”

"Rest assured, our income should be on the verge of coming. Luo Sheng saw Lao Bade, who had just come out of the mountains, but was rushing to his side with a happy face, and said with a smile.
