"However, in recent decades, the actions of the barbarians are really worrying!!" Speaking of the barbarians who destroyed their country, Wen Lao began to fall into memories again.

"Elder Wen, what's wrong? Hasn't the alien race been suppressing the human race?"

"No, since the Terrans retreated to the territory of Dayan five thousand years ago, although the alien races have been suppressing the Terrans, they have also controlled it within a certain range, although the border friction has been continuous, but such a thing as the direct destruction of a country has never happened. ”

"Could it be that the alien race has recovered some of its strength and has begun to further suppress our human race??" Ye Qing said casually.

"It's possible, hey!! I don't know how the strength of these alien races has recovered, and whether the current human race can withstand the suppression of the alien race. I don't expect the Terrans to rise, but don't kill the Terrans either......"

For this kind of heavy topic, Ye Qing didn't know how to go back, after all, he was just a small lord now, and he had just been promoted to Tongsheng in terms of force, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, let alone save this human race.

......

In the next few days, Ye Qing went to soak in Wen Lao's house and listened to him tell various rumors about the human race.

At the same time, he is also looking for his goal of coming to this world, the short-term goal has been determined, that is, to let himself live safely in the desolate world, only by living safely, some of the ideas in his mind can be realized;

Don't look at Ye Qing has all the literature of the entire earth in his mind, but after all, the earth has only developed for thousands of years, and the various races in the desolate world have existed for an unknown number of years, although the development may be slower due to various reasons, but no matter where it is, there will always be some geniuses. Ye Qing didn't think that he could be invincible in the world with the knowledge of the earth as a backing.

In terms of security, although Ye Qing is now a lord of a place with a population of tens of thousands, he is only a relatively low existence among the surrounding forces, and in recent years, the lords of various sizes in the chaotic hills have begun to annex each other, and I don't know when they will hit the doorstep, so there is really no sense of security at all.

In the chat with Wen Lao, Ye Qing found out why the lords of this world like war so much, because war can expand the territory, and when the power reaches a certain level, the country can be established, once the country is founded, the lord and other high-level officials can enjoy the blessing of luck, thereby improving the speed of cultivation, and of course, there are a series of other benefits.

Don't underestimate the benefits of a country's luck, in addition to blessing the speed of cultivation, it will also increase the probability of finding treasures or geniuses in the country, and most importantly, it will save people's lives at some critical moments.

If he wants to make himself safer, Ye Qing only has two choices, one is to give up the territory and go to the Seven Great Fortune Dynasty of the Terran Race, where he will slowly improve his strength, although the Terran is now relatively declining, but the hinterland of the Terran is very safe at the beginning, and it will not be attacked by foreign races, of course, if it is a human force, it will be another matter;

If Ye Qing had just arrived in this world, he would definitely choose the first option without hesitation, but now Ye Qing has chosen the second option, and the reason for this is not clear to him, it may just be a subconscious behavior.

Now that the direction of development has been determined, Ye Qing must understand the resources at his disposal, so that he can formulate future development plans.

On this day, Ye Qing officially summoned all the officials of Dongjiang Town in the front hall of the Lord's Mansion. The lord's mansion is similar to the ancient county office, with the front hall office and the lord's rest place in the back.

Dongjiang Town is relatively small, and the officials are a tax officer Hu Cheng, a political officer Fan Wen, and a territorial garrison captain Li Xin.

Hu Cheng and Fan Wen are both very old people, their hair is all gray, and they have been managing the territory since the Ye family was the natural lord. When I was young, I also read a lot of books, but I failed in the children's examination a few times, and later was rescued by the Ye family in a crisis, so I took refuge in the Ye family and has been conscientious.

Li Xin is a young man in his twenties, with a burly build, and he has a fight with the governor. But don't look at him young, his martial arts are good, he has been mixed in Xuan** for a few years, but because of his military exploits, he offended the middle and senior ranks of the army under the impulse of the leader, and was framed, but Father Ye saved him in time, so he was willing to serve as a garrison captain in this small territory.

"I just became the lord, I am still young, if there is something I don't understand in the future, I hope you will help me a lot!" Ye Qing saluted them first, and he would have to rely on these people in the future, and they have managed Dongjiang Town well in the past few years, so it is worth Ye Qing's salute.

"My lord is serious, I will not give up until I die!" the crowd shouted.

"Please introduce yourself, so that I can understand what you are responsible for. ”

"Young master, old minister Fan Wen, responsible for everything in the administration of the territory......"

"Young master, old minister Hu Cheng, responsible for the tax and financial expenditure of the territory......"

"Lord Lord, the captain of the garrison, Li Xin, salutes you, all the defenses in the territory are in charge of the subordinates......"

......

Ye Qing looked at them one by one, had an impression of them, nodded and said, "Well, I'm sorry for you, I don't know if there are any things in the current territory that need to be decided by the Lord's Mansion?"

Everything was difficult at the beginning, and Ye Qing, who didn't know anything about the administration of the territory, had to start with the most important things first.

"My lord, the population in the territory has not been recounted for a while, and in recent years, there have been a lot of newborns and displaced people from all over the world.

"Okay, you can take charge of this matter, and come up with a specific data as soon as possible. Is there anything wrong with the garrison?"

"Your Excellency, the garrison currently has a total of 350 people, 100 cavalry, 200 war horses, and the rest of the military supplies can still be used. Garrison Captain Li Xin stood up and said.

The northern direction is a place where war horses are produced, and horseback riding has always occupied a dominant position in the northern army, although Dongjiang Town does not produce war horses, but it still gets some war horses through various means to form its own cavalry team.

"Is it enough for a defense force of just over 300 people?"

Ye Qing had to ask, although there was no specific data, but he also knew that the population of Dongjiang Town should be more than 20,000, even if the folk customs were simple, soldiers were needed to maintain them, and although more than 400 soldiers were able to meet the needs of patrols, there was basically no strength in external defense. You must know that Dongjiang Town is now in danger, not only to worry about the annexation of other territories, but also to guard against the attack of fierce beasts.

"Your Excellency, Dongjiang Town is backed by Daqing Mountain, and there will be a beast tide every three or five years, and now it is the end of summer, and the beast tide generally comes in late autumn, but the garrison has not been replenished for several years, and the equipment of the treasury is about to run out, please order the expansion of the garrison, so as to better defend the territory security." ”

"Fan Wen, Hu Cheng, what is the proportion of the elderly, young and strong, and children in the territory, and how much can the property of the lord's mansion support the expansion of the army?"

"My lord, our territory is close to the mountains, most of the residents live by hunting and collecting medicine, and people often die in the mountains, so there are not many old people, less than one-tenth of the population of the territory, and the residents of the territory are mainly young and strong, and children, basically half and half. ”

"The Lord's Mansion has more than 100,000 acres of land, and more than 200 head of cattle and cattle. In the warehouse, more than 100,000 stones of rice have been accumulated over the years. Otherwise, though, it's a bit frustrating to talk about. There were more than 300 pairs of armor and 500 military uniforms. However, the armor was already made many years ago. Military uniforms, except for wormholes and rat droppings, there is nothing superfluous. There are fifty pairs of arms. There are fifteen back flags, fifty flagpoles, sixty bows, seventy bowstrings, and 7,500 arrows. There were 300 waist knives, more than 300 spears, and a number of other supplies. ”

"If you want to expand the garrison, it should be more suitable for 2,000 people, and it will not affect the normal life of the territory. ”

"Then Captain Li Xin, you will recruit two thousand people first, train the ones first, and replace the wooden ones with wooden ones for the time being, and in a few days I will gather the craftsmen in the territory to rebuild a batch of weapons and armor for the garrison. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Do you guys have anything else to do?" It seems that the territory is still very peaceful, and there is basically nothing to take the lead into.

"Tax officer, how much money is left in the Lord's Mansion at the moment, and if I want to build a school on the territory, is it enough?"

Building a school is an idea that Ye Qing only had after communicating with Wen Lao, no matter what era it is, talent is the most important, not to mention in this desolate world where scholars have great power. The chaotic hills originally had few readers, coupled with the constant attacks of the barbarians, there is no longer a book to open the sea of literature in the chaotic hills, and Ye Qing needs literati to govern the place if he wants to build a country, and if he doesn't, he can only cultivate it slowly, although he is willing to take effect slowly, but he is better than having a high degree of loyalty, and it can be provided continuously.

"My lord, the territory has not had large-scale expenditures over the years, and the funds available for the entire territory are about 100,000 gold coins. “

"If adults want to build a school, funding and land are not a problem, but there may not be so many literati in our territory to serve as teachers, and ordinary people may not have the money to go to school. “

"I already have a candidate for the teacher, so I don't have to worry about that. "In the process of chatting with Wen Lao, Ye Qing has already learned about some people in the territory who are a little knowledgeable, although the literacy is not necessarily very high, but it is enough to teach children enlightenment.

"And ......"
