Chapter Nine: The Spring Breeze of Reform Blows All Over the Land (I)
Although Sanzang Town is day and night and more than ninety percent of the residents live underground, the enclosure of 40,000 acres and a population of more than 10,000 will inevitably be discovered after all. It's just that there are not many people in the northeast of the Moon Sea where Sanzang Town is located, and secondly, Koria has done a good job of clearing and blockading the field, and third, the major forces of the Moon Sea have attracted attention from the previous war between Santir Fort and Yuanshan City, so it was not until October last year that Sanzang Town was discovered by Mumaster, who claimed to be the master of this place in the eastern part of Moon Sea.
Mumaster immediately launched a terrorist attack, and was immediately attacked by retaliatory terrorists, and then felt that the cost was too great and began to make evil moves, and Sanzang Town also passively disclosed its existence.
Fort Santil in the western part of the Moon Sea has its own plans and is not prepared to interfere in the internal affairs of Sanzang Town for the time being; the distant mountain city in the south of the Moon Sea has just finished fighting and has no energy to pay attention to this kind of matter that has little to do with him; Sentia in the north of the Moon Sea has always been indifferent, and has not even paid attention to the evil creatures of Hubert who are nearly half as far away from it, let alone Sanzang Town. So they just sent some spies to investigate the situation.
Only Melwater, west of Centia in the northern part of the Moon Sea, felt that he was more idle and needed, so he was ready to defend and maintain the justice of the Moon Sea. Considering that Mumaster, who was closer and had a greater stake, did not make much of a move, Melwater was also much more cautious.
After careful research and in-depth discussion, especially after observing the combat exercises a few days ago - the "passing evil race" that Mike and the others captured was actually a gang of mountain giants and bandits who were bewitched by Melwater's spies and changed their targets, and Melwater people thought that they had enough information, so they sent two groups of dragon knights to defend the justice of the moon sea.
β...... On behalf of the Reylagunn family of Melwater, I would like to purchase from you a consignment of grain, which is estimated to be five hundred tons. Said the middle-aged man who called himself Megan Reylagunn. This is the justice of the moon sea, if it is cheaper to buy than to rob, then you should buy it.
"Well, who's in charge of transportation?" Mike thought for a moment, Melwater was bordered by the Thrall Wasteland to the north, and similar to Sentia, arable land was severely underpopulated, and a large amount of food needed to be imported every year. It's just that I really didn't expect that after Sanzang Town turned from dark to light, the first thing to usher in was not an attack but a customer.
"Naturally, it's you. However, if you accept payment in slaves or weapons, we can also take care of the transportation. β
"Hmm......" Mike thought about it again, feeling that his alien slaves were really in a hurry, and it was necessary to introduce talents in various ways, although it was inevitable that they would be mixed with spies, but it was not a big deal, "Human slaves, they can't be residents of Moon Sea cities like Santilburg Sentia, it's better to know some agricultural knowledge." β
"What about the peasants who became slaves for economic reasons and the barbarians of the Rongma steppe. β
"Yes. Sermena, you can talk about the details later, and I'll show you Mr. Reyragun. "The dragon knights are flying so high in the sky, it is estimated that the things on the ground have already seen almost the same, and it doesn't hurt to take them around again.
"Good. Sermena pouted, and Mike's brother was only the beginning of everything.
Megan is one of the deacons of the Reylragern family, one of the three major families of Melwater, and this time he came to buy food, on the one hand, it is really necessary, and on the other hand, he wants to see up close what the scale of this sudden Sanzang town is, and what is the prospect. Having a master who can fight does not mean that he is good at governance, let alone that he can develop. If there is indeed a prospect, the Reiraguen family does not mind trading with the evil race to make a profit, anyway, the rise of an agricultural town here is far more harmful to Mel Wattley, who has always been short of food, and the rise of a pirate town should also be a headache for the Mumasters;
β...... We have 40,000 acres of fertile land, but we can't cultivate all of them due to the shortage of labor and professionals, and the Reylagunn family is strong, I don't know if they are interested in joining a few shares for joint development?"
"This matter is quite big, and it is not something that can be decided by the authorities, so I will report this matter to the family for discussion when I go back." "Megan said casually, who knows if you are playing tricks and embezzling bad ideas. The farmland here seems to be pretty good from the sky, but when you look inside, you will find a lot of problems of one kind or another, but it is normal to be reclaimed for a year or two, but it is necessary to re-estimate the grain production. "May I ask more, if the family intends to develop, but does not know the defense aspect?"
"Naturally, the town guard is in charge, but if the other party deems it necessary, they can also organize their own armed forces. β
"Oh?" Megan didn't expect to ask casually, this guy who claimed to be the lord of Sanzang Town couldn't wait to sell the territory and sovereignty of Sanzang Town. Allowing "self-organized armed forces" is unlikely to be agreed to by normal lords.
"Of course, if you are going to organize armed forces, you must not have too many, and if you are ten acres and one person, you will definitely accept our supervision and fulfill the corresponding daily defense obligations. β
Megan was speechless, and even took the initiative to give up the right to defend, is this guy's intelligence really normal?
"The Reylragern family is one of the three major families of Melwater, and your Excellency must have heard of it. β
"Of course, the carpenters of the moon sea and the leader of the shipbuilding industry. Oh, I see, it's Melwater who wants to contract land to station the army, no problem, but externally in the name of private armies. The omnipotent traverser pretended to misunderstand the true meaning of Megan's words, and continued to make great strides on the road of selling territory and sovereignty.
Megan was completely speechless, and then he thought of another possibility, could it be that Mumaster was going to do something? In any case, I have collected information here first, and it is not too late to discuss other things back to the family.
"Centia has someone ready to come over, and there are mid-level mages from the Academy of Magic, you know. Mike continued to release mines. The actual rulers of Sentia are the mages of the Academy of Magic, and the mid-level mages are also considered to be the ruling class, which has obvious political significance. Although this mid-level mage is actually Adrian's senior, and he has no idea that he is "preparing to come", he is indeed a mid-level mage of the Academy of Magic, and his brother-in-law is indeed preparing.
That's right, what Mike was talking to Megan about was something he had just come up with when he decided to trade food for human slaves. In his opinion, since Sanzang Town has been exposed, it is difficult to avoid spies or something, and it is better to simply let go of his hands and feet than to make a lot of effort for that.
Comrade Xiaoping once said, "Development is the last word," that is, to educate us not to tie our hands and feet because we are afraid of those ghosts, snakes, and gods that have mixed in with reform and opening up. Although this will give opportunities for the evil forces that covet our Great Sanzang Town, it can also inject more vitality into the Sanzang Town, which is in urgent need of development, and can also reduce the possibility of their direct use of force to a large extent. What's more, he is currently a mage 6th order warlock and 7th order and is still making rapid progress, time is on his side, and many things will naturally not happen after his strength is completed.
In addition, once this kind of precedent is set, there is a reasonable excuse to continue to let other forces, whether overt or covert, settle in, and facilitate the secret entry of the Netherworld City of my Ancient Nether Empire. It is impossible to get rid of the relationship between himself and the empire in any case, so he can only actively cooperate. Yin Soul City is full of talents, but the area is limited, and for various reasons, it is not convenient to return to the main plane to enclose the land, Sanzang Town has a lot of places but lacks talents and strength, so it is obviously of great benefit to both parties to let them settle in secret.
By the way, although Mike has not been to the Netherworld City so far, with his status as a disciple of the Grand Arcanist Master and the credit of the rescue caravan to the giant insect Nightshadow, he is already a core member of the Netherworld City, and has a small honorary title. If you're bent on being the king of grass outside, you're afraid you won't have many chances to use it, but if you commit something one day and be chased and killed, you can escape and take refuge. Some time ago, Tebra, the personal disciple of Father Iolham, was chased by the spirit sucking monsters, and finally fled to the Netherworld City to hide.
So, when Sermena, who negotiated a grain exchange agreement with Megan's deputy, returned, she learned that the Reiraghun family, one of the three major families of Melwater, would send 100 soldiers and 500 slaves to Sanzang Town to contract 2,000 acres of farmland to test the water. You have to say that this is a good thing, no matter how you look at it, how to lure the wolf into the house, but you have to say that this is a bad thing, it seems that there are so many places that the undeveloped town of Sanzang not only has no actual loss, but also gets a tax. But the point is, "How the hell did you convince him......
"Hey......" Mike looked like a summer worm couldn't speak, and the angry Sermena really wanted to give him a kick.
"This, if it were you, I would probably agree with it. Goku sighed.
Sermena was stunned for a moment, and then she wondered if she had just been stunned. Mike's conditions are to put it bluntly: history has proven that there is no need to worry about monster attacks, now you can see that the water conservancy facilities have a foundation, bring your own dry food and bring people, and bet on whether Sanzang Town can withstand the attack of the civilized world. Although the winning rate is not high, it is small and broad, and it is very attractive, and it will give it a fight if you say it yourself. There was this question just now, is it really too low for him to exercise...... I'm ......
"Mike, can you do this?" Goku also felt that he couldn't keep up with Mike's train of thought. People should be able to recruit with this trick and have a certain positive effect, but multi-race, multi-culture, multi-belief and multi-class are also armed, and the more people who come, the more bombs will be planted at the same time, and the more and bigger the bombs will be planted at the same time, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will blow up Sanzang Town into ruins, how to deal with the aftermath Wukong can't come up with an idea, but Mike just wants to trick the Rey Lagunn family into a pit, so Wukong didn't say anything when he was blowing there just now.
"Believe me, no problem!" Mike patted his chest and promised, "This is the most suitable advanced model for the development of Sanzang Town after I returned from the investigation of Ascatla, the capital of gold coins, combined with the political pattern of Faturi, and the main idea is to unite all the forces that can be united to develop rapidly and achieve win-win and common prosperity for all parties." β
'Why haven't I heard you mention it before......?'
"In the next two days, I'm going to strike while the iron is hot and go to Mumaster to talk about it. Goku, you're ready to go with me. Selmena, if Adrian recruits someone from Sentia, talk to them. Hey, it's a pity that the distant mountain city has always been hostile to the non-human race, and it is difficult for most of them to succeed, and the geographical environment of Santil Fort is superior and there is no need for this, so we can only wait for the situation to see the situation later. As for the mysterious man, don't care about him for now, anyway, you can teleport and come back in a moment, and you can't miss anything. Also, it's open anyway, so just send more goblins to go outside and pull the same kind back. β
"You can do whatever you say...... "Wukong is even more confused, if he wants to trick people, he obviously can't pull too much hatred from east to west, does he really think he has some bomb disposal skills?
Megan's lieutenant was also surprised by the result.
"Although it is beyond the authority given to me by the family, this opportunity should not be missed at this time. If the above is not considered appropriate, I will bear all the punishments, and I will not embarrass you when I recruit adventurers in my own name. β
"Where are you, since we are walking together, we naturally have to advance and retreat together. The deputy replied angrily. There can be several beats in life, how can I not participate in this good opportunity with a small and broad opportunity.
"That's very good. Megan nodded. It also takes a lot of manpower and material resources to recruit mercenaries to capture goblins, and it is naturally best to have someone to work with.
Some people may wonder that with the manpower and material resources, they are not good at building near Melwater, so why do they have to go to Sanzang Town, an unfamiliar place, to take risks?
The answer is simple, they have no choice.
The Moon Sea is traditionally divided into four major regions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, which we can analyze and analyze one by one.
The eastern part of the Moon Sea is divided into the northern eastern part and the southern eastern part by the east-west glacial river. There are many hills in the east of the north, and not far from the north are the galena mountain ranges with frequent monsters, and the only two pieces of land that can be developed on a large scale are the nameless land where Sanzang Town is located and the glacier estuary where Binghe Town is located, both of which are far away from the civilized world. The mouth of the Rees River, which connects to the Sea of Fallen Stars in the east and south, is extremely advantageous, but it is precisely this extremely advantageous geographical location that leads to the rampant bandits of all kinds there, so even Mumaster, who has always claimed to be the master of the east, is forced to sit on the halfway side of the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack fifty or sixty kilometers from the mouth of the river, rather than the plain closer. There are many hills in the east of Mumaster, and the climate is cold under the influence of the white worm ice field, and the natural conditions are not very suitable for development; the natural conditions in the south are acceptable, but bandits are particularly rampant, and the cultural conditions are extremely poor. Therefore, there is only one large city in the eastern part of the Moon Sea, Mumaster, and the rural population is relatively small, so it seems that there is a lot of space but it is very difficult to develop.
The southern part of the Moon Sea is adjacent to the Great Forest of Comanso, and the elves lost their largest trade object after retreating, and the geographical location is relatively poor but the natural conditions are relatively good, which is conducive to development. However, that place was the earliest human settlement in the Moon Sea, and it had been developed for a long time, and the land that was easy to develop had long since been carved up, and the owner there, Yuanshan City, could even practice human supremacy in luxury. If the new Pioneer wants to settle there, he must be prepared to face the ShΕtil Fort Front.
With the Tess River flowing into the sea to the west, the fertile valley to the south, and the mineral-rich Dragon's Spine Mountains to the northeast, the geographical location and natural conditions are very superior. However, they have too many enemies, not only to attack the valley in the south and resist the distant mountain city in the east, but also to fight Melwater in the north and fight Mumaster, and they must also fight against the "Justice Alliance" such as the harpist for a long time, and from time to time they have to deal with the terrorist attacks of masters such as the curse fire Sandra Heather, and the pioneers must be psychologically prepared accordingly.
The temperature in the north of the Moon Sea is low, close to the Saar wasteland, which is barren but full of monsters, and is also invaded by the barbarians who go south from the Rongma grassland from time to time.
Located at the mouth of the Stoiano River in the northwestern Dragon's Spine Mountains, Filan is the most popular transit point for caravans and merchant ships coming and going in the northern part of the Moon Sea, and it is also the favorite object of invasion by the barbarians who go south to the Rongma Grassland.
Melwater is located at the mouth of the Tomor River originating in the Saar Desert, with a 40-kilometer stretch of the Moon Shou Hills in the west to stop the barbarian invasion, and the indisputable Centia in the east as its neighbor, its own water source is abundant and the sea is smooth, and the geographical location and natural environment are unique, so it has a foothold, and relying on the minerals transported from the Dragon's Ridge Mountains through the Stoiano River, it has gradually developed into an industrial city with a leading metal processing and shipbuilding industry, and has become the leader of the northern Moon Sea. However, although Melwater is blessed with unique conditions, there is really not much land available, less than 200 square kilometers, and the current population of more than 200,000 has long exceeded the carrying limit.
Sentia attracted a legendary mage to take his apprentices to build a mage tower to settle down because of a magical area, and to divert the Senti River to flow in front of his door with his powerful mana. Then there were a steady stream of people who came to seek refuge either for advice, or by the Murmaster Shawls or Cormier War Witches, and slowly developed into the current Centia School of Magic. Because the magic lords provided a safe environment to destroy monsters and deter bandits, and the Senti River provided convenient irrigation conditions, there were continuous spontaneous influxes of residents, so the city developed in this way, and thanks to the abundance of high-end talents, it gradually developed into a large city of great importance in the moon sea. However, in terms of available land, Centia is less than Melwater, less than 100 square kilometers, and the current population of 120,000 has long exceeded the carrying limit.
Hubert is the third suitable place for human habitation in the northern part of the Moon Sea, irrigated by the Winter Spear River that originates in the Galena Mountains, and the available land is not as good as Melwater but surpasses Sentia, although it has been attacked from time to time before, but in general it has developed well, but unfortunately later there are heroes who can not bear the anger and slaughter the dragon to cause revenge and be destroyed, and thousands of evil creatures led by the half-dragon ogre have been disbanded on the spot and occupied their home.
Therefore, if the Moon Sea Pioneer wants to acquire a large piece of land, he must expect a hero to be born out of thin air and accomplish one of the following four feats:
Unification of Santil Fort and Far Mountain City.
Sweep away banditry at the mouth of the River Reese.
Eliminate the ogre and restore Hubert.
Expel Kolya and slaughter the Banditrans.
At the moment, the hero who can achieve feats is unknown, but the guy who can collude with Koria and the bandecosaurus already has one, and it seems that the collusion is quite stable.
Yuehai Nan'er dares to act boldly, never like Am's foolish people, no matter whether you exterminate or collude, as long as you can stabilize the situation, you are a hero, and someone is willing to follow you. Of course, if you find that you are not strong or incompetent, the brothers will never mind showing heroism to uphold the justice of the world and swear the sovereignty of mankind.
