Chapter 437 - Operating the Territory

Daystar Earls ushered in an extremely sudden leap, and most of the reasons for this can only be considered to be the willfulness of "Lord Earl".

First of all, the roads, the mainland roads left over from ancient times can no longer meet the trade between territories, and there are even many places that can only be maintained by the small roads that can only be stepped on with their feet, not to mention transportation, and even ordinary people are very difficult to enter and exit.

Thousands of gold coins were scattered directly on the paved road, although there had been many meetings with Liuberryberry, Jiaomu, and a few newly promoted political officials before, and the cost was kept to a minimum, but when the money was finally paid, Qiu Wuyi still had an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, but I just lament the difficulty of building a territory.

With the gold coins, everything is easy to do, the roads that extend in all directions are built one by one in the territory, and some small "tentacles" are stretched out near other people's homes, of course, whenever the road is built near other lords, there will always be one or two messengers with gifts to explain the intention, and they have no strength to compete, so there is no opposition.

Qiu Wuyi didn't want to make a move on them, this kind of thing should definitely not be limited to his own territory, and most of the people in the Earldom of Daystar basically agreed, because whether it was war or trade, it must be related to several nearby territories.

Manpower is very cheap, at least for now, there are many mountains in the territory, and the materials for building roads are also very abundant, and the road network that connects the entire territory is really completed before the autumn harvest.

With the support of gold coins, many necessary facilities between villages and towns have also been set up one after another, such as markets, inspection offices, and medical centers.

At the beginning, he could only eat the principal, and Qiu Wuyi also thought about it carefully, when the expanded seaport restarted transportation, the finances of the territory suddenly changed dramatically.

Qiu Wuyi gritted his teeth and directly purchased a few cargo ships suitable for offshore sea from Jiao Mu, spending a full eight thousand gold coins, which the behemoth used in the ocean could not afford, but he finally started shipping decently and quickly got the benefits.

What is even more gratifying is that the port attracted more merchants, many of whom set their sights on this vigorous territory, hoping to make a profit from it, and according to the unwritten rules, they also offered gold coins, hoping to be protected by large-scale commerce on this land, because most of the lords are like this, and if they do not receive satisfactory money, the merchants will be subjected to a lot of trouble.

Qiu Wuyi didn't leave any of the gold coins he received, all of them were put on construction, and one day, he was finally surprised to find that he had started to make money.

So far, a lot of investment has been made to build all the facilities that can bring benefits, and when they are all in safe operation, the benefits will naturally begin to appear.

During this time, the legend of the Earl of Daystar also intensified, with some people claiming to have seen the Earl give gold coins to the old man whose two sons were all killed accidentally, and others said that they saw the Earl "extremely skillfully" skinning an alien spy who tried to set fire to the chaos.

There is also news that late one night, when the Earl learned that a group of thieves was approaching the territory, he immediately roared and rushed out with all the soldiers who got up the fastest, and the incident happened suddenly, with less than a hundred people around him, and the group of thieves who were wandering was four hundred.

When they approached the bandits, it was one o'clock in the afternoon, and the thieves were resting in the valley, when the Earl suddenly shouted angrily to the heavens, "If you want to protect my land and my people, what does it matter if you turn into evil spirits!" As soon as the words fell, a heavy rain fell from the sky, covering the whereabouts of the army, and the group immediately rushed to the camp of the thieves and killed them.

After that, for this earl who was paranoid to the point of perverting the guardian territory, there was a hint of mystery in the rumors, and the favor skyrocketed every day.

When building the territory, some people half-jokingly said that the earl seemed to have just distributed the gold coins in his mansion to everyone, and some people made this joke, but also out of trust, everyone knew that this new lord spent a lot of money to build the territory.

On the anniversary of the opening of all the roads, the Earl ordered the distribution of 3,000 sheep to the people who built the roads and the people who participated in various constructions, and personally poured wine for everyone at the banquet.

It also happened that this year ushered in a good harvest, Qiu Wuyi held a meeting with all the people who managed government affairs, and after confirming that the expenditure in the territory was very stable for the time being, and there was no need to worry about any accidents, a notice was also sent to each village and town, and the content on it was very simple, that is, the earl considered that after the war, maybe everyone's vitality had not yet recovered, and this year's tax exemption was exempted.

At this moment, the territory was completely boiling, and Qiu Wuyi's popularity quickly increased to an exaggerated level, although some bloody legends were still terrifying, but one by one facts had proved that he was an absolutely trustworthy and trustworthy lord.

Although Qiu Wuyi did not explain to the people how much income was generated by the coal mined and the increasing number of foreign merchants......

After the most lively autumn harvest time had passed, a strange person suddenly appeared in the mountains of the territory.

It stands to reason that the mountainous area is also the pipeline range of the Earldom of Daystar, and it is impossible for any guys of unknown origin to appear.

Besides, this man of unknown origin is a strong man.

"Stop!

The soldier in charge of the patrol saw a suspicious figure walking on the mountain road and hurriedly rushed over with a loud roar.

"Huh, you mean me?"

The big man who was ragged and didn't know how long he hadn't taken a shower had a dirty beard all over his face, and his hair that could almost stand up didn't know how much dirt it had touched, and when he heard someone shouting, the big man not only didn't panic, but pointed at the tip of his nose strangely.

"Of course!"

The patrol soldiers rushed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain road after a few ups and downs, apparently using the martial arts.

"Okay, I've really become a martial artist, I don't know what my brother's hard work has become? haha!"

Dahan was happy in his heart, laughing, and the heroic laughter that shook the sky and thunder shook the narrow mountain road for a while, and it was also because he was happy in his heart that he inadvertently used the true qi in his body.

"You...... ...... the hell you"

Before the patrol soldiers approached, they were shocked by laughter and their legs were weak, let alone fighting, and they couldn't even say a complete word, and they suddenly understood the gap between the strength of the comer and their own. But he also understands that he is a patrol soldier with a heavy responsibility, and he must not fall here, at least bring the news back.

"No, don't run yet, take a closer look at who I am. ”

The big man also suddenly realized that he seemed to be acting a little willful, and flew down to grab the patrol soldier's shoulders and approached his face.

"Uh...... Big brother?"

The patrol soldier was stunned for a while, knowing that the comer was not malicious, so he looked at his face carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be his top boss.

"Hey, little two, the big brother's face is so unrecognizable!"

The dirty man grinned, he was Shui Chaoyang who had returned from retreat and cultivation in the mountains, and he was also the number one military attache in the territory.

"It's really big brother! big brother...... You...... You're out of the customs so soon!"

Although Xiao Er was the one who started to work with Shui Chaoyang after the establishment of the territory, the relationship between the two was very good, in fact, it was intentional to let him patrol in this area.

"Hahaha, of course it's me, hey, how about the months I've been away?

Shui Chaoyang paused, and the same huge pressure suddenly erupted in his body, not only heavy, but blazing like fire, like a changed person in an instant, no, Shui Chaoyang at this time no longer looks like a person, the majesty and courage between his gestures have made him like the sun hanging in the sky.

"Really, congratulations, big brother! The brothers have just finished their autumn training, and there are already thirty of them who have been newly promoted to martial arts! The other brothers are not convinced, and they are practicing every day!"

Xiao Er was so frightened by Shui Chaoyang's momentum that he fell to the ground again, but his eyes were full of excitement.

"Let's go!"

Shui Chaoyang is quick to speak, although his strength has risen to the stage of bravery, his personality has not changed at all, and he took Xiao Er and walked to the town.

Along the way, although there are many people who do not know the truth vigilantly staring at the bearded water and the rising sun, but many more people show joy and happiness, one after another buildings that have not been seen before the departure rise, the autumn harvest is over, and the market is also bustling, which is very different from the previous town.

This shocked Shui Chaoyang from the bottom of his heart, but after only a few months, the territory seemed to have suddenly become extremely rich, and the roads under his feet had become extensive, except for the mountain paths that really had no choice, all the roads were no worse than the real mainland roads.

"Brother, thank you for your hard work...... By the way, is my brother in the castle? I remember he said what he was going to do after the fall?"

Shui Chaoyang actually broke through the realm of a martial artist half a month ago and became a martial artist, and it was only when he had an agreement in advance that he would go down the mountain.

"The Earl has already gone out, and it is said that he is going to an island to investigate the future trade routes, which may take a long time, and he also told me that I will have to trouble you in the future about the army, and he really can't do it. ”

"Can't do it? If you can't do it, you can get thirty warriors? cough, okay, after you go back, I'm going to test your strength personally! Let's go! I don't know when my brother will come back." ”

didn't meet Qiu Wuyi, Shui Chaoyang smacked his lips, feeling a little pity.

These words are naturally Qiu Wuyi's rhetoric, and the intention is to cover up the fact that he went to Tianzhumen to carry out a mission, but half of them are true.

His goal is indeed an island.
