Chapter 138 Rapid Development
Updated: 2012-05-15
This time, the Feiying Village was wiped out, and the results were huge.
This time, not only the property of Feiying Village was seized, but the property of other robbers is now gathered in Feiying Village, and basically all of them were taken over by Xiao Yu.
The gold coins alone were counted, and it was more than 40 million, which made Xiao Yu so excited that his heart almost stopped beating.
The days of poverty have finally passed.
In addition to this money, there are countless treasures in various treasures. Feiying Village has stolen for hundreds of years, so how much has it accumulated, what antiques, rare items, and some magic items are all piled up like mountains.
Although a lot of burned down this time was destroyed, most of them were preserved. Because Xie Sanlang dug many caves or cellars to preserve these things, the preservation was very complete.
All the carriages led by Xiao Yu sent the Lion King to pull the things from Feiying Village, and it took more than a month to pull them.
From now on, the Lion King leader no longer had to worry about finances. The old butler Xiao Hong was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about these things, his hands kept trembling. Several sisters-in-law stood directly at the door and waited, and when they met something they liked, they directly pulled it down, and each of them was shining.
"Grasping this industry is indeed the best way to get rich."
Xiao Yu now felt like he was a nouveau riche. He suddenly won several hundred million lottery tickets and was very proud.
These days, Xiao Yu has no choice but to go out to see the mountain-stacked warehouse, wishing she could sleep here every night.
With money, you can do a lot of things below. Mu Huali and others suggested expanding the scale, recruiting soldiers, and building another city.
But after thinking about it, Xiao Yu still decided. Now, although the situation in the world is very unstable, it has not yet reached the point where chaos and wars are everywhere.
At this time, too large augmentation of scale will result in insufficient talents and difficulty in managing effectively. On the other hand, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others.
The so-called "making a fortune in silence" is what the Lion King wants to do now is to continue to recruit people. Only more people can build a territory, and the second is to hoard strategic materials such as food and grass to make plans for the future situation.
Xiao Yu is planning to not build large-scale cities for the time being, but to develop more small cities such as villages and towns, and raise more militias. During a real war, he can quickly pull it up without having to bear such heavy military pay.
So, in the next nearly half a year, Xiao Yu led his people to wipe out the remaining robbers and completely wiped out the northwest land. Some people who were wandering around were willing to surrender.
After all, Xiao Yu has been in this world for more than a year and has completely pacified the northwest. It is also considered to be young and have a purpose. After all, this is something that Xiao Zhantian wants to do but cannot do.
Xiao Hong and Long Hui were both deeply moved. They were filled with sadness when you, Xiao Zhantian, died of frustration. They were very pleased to see Xiao Yu so promising.
After more than half a year of development, the population led by the Lion King has reached millions, which is many times stronger than the beginning.
However, although there is a large population, there are still very few talents in all aspects. This cannot be achieved by training in a day or a day.
Although the military academy founded by Xiao Yu encountered many problems, it still trained a large number of subordinate officers.
These are veterans who have participated in the battle and are more intelligent. Xiao Yu has given the title of first-class civilian and can become subordinate officers.
Because of the unequal status of nobles and civilians in this era, it is still difficult for civilians to become nobles or become senior officers.
There was no way, Xiao Yu came up with such a title of several civilians, which were divided into five levels.
The fifth class is the lowest civilians and slaves, who have no status.
The fourth class belongs to ordinary civilians, who have no rights, but just farms honestly, just like civilians in other territories.
Going up to the third level, you will gradually give some special authority, such as being able to enter a military academy, becoming a subordinate officer, or becoming a territorial government agency.
Each level improvement is accumulated by people who have contributed some contribution to the territory.
At the beginning, Long Hui and the others did not figure out what the purpose of these civilians were, so they did not stop them. After these civilians had divided the levels, Xiao Yu gradually gave first-class civilians some authority, and Xiao Hong and Long Hui and the others realized something was wrong.
But it has been implemented for so long at this time, and it is impossible to change it back. Moreover, Xiao Yu is confident that they are still civilians now, but they are just civilians in the first grade. Civilians in the first grade naturally have to give more privileges.
These privileges did not infringe upon the interests and status of the nobles, and at the same time solved the problem of insufficient grassroots officials.
Any civilian can improve his status by increasing his merit value. These merit values include military merit, donating grain and other materials to the territory, creating something special invented, how many apprentices have been taught, etc. In a word, encourage military merit, encourage farming, encourage inventions, and encourage production.
Driven by Xiao Yu and other policies, the people's labor enthusiasm in the territory has increased unprecedentedly. In the past, those farmers farmed for the lords, so they naturally worked as monks and clocked a day, and they had to live by. But now they have several years of authority to use the land, and all the food belongs to them, so they naturally got up early and worked late and didn't have time to work.
Changes in production distribution methods play the most critical role in improving labor.
The system of several civilians promoted by Xiao Yu allowed these farmers to donate all their excess grains and exchange them for success, so that they could gain a higher status so that their children could enter military academies or work in government agencies. Now, Xiao Yu had no need to spend a penny to accumulate a large amount of grain.
In war, food is the most critical strategic material.
Storing grain first and becoming king slowly is a trick played by all the emperors in China who compete for hegemony.
The territory has basically stabilized and the population is increasing. Xiao Yu has also begun to improve the system step by step and has not been too anxious to go out to expand.
Xiao Yu set up road cards at an intersection in the territory and began to collect taxes on merchants leading to Yunmeng. The establishment of these road cards was very simple, and directly made people build a row of wooden fences, and then a second-level sentry tower was placed every other section of the road.
With such a momentum, most people will never dare to force themselves.
Xiao Yu built a small town not far from this Luka, building hotels, bars and other facilities that adventurers like, so that they can stay here and replenish supplies.
At the beginning, many merchants were very disgusted by Xiao Yu's random set-up of Lock Cards here. Some powerful caravans had some backgrounds and even threatened them.
But Xiao Yu didn't care at all and directly transferred a hundred orc infantry to the ground. If anyone was dissatisfied, he would fight and confiscate everything.
After a few times, no one dared to make trouble again.
Because they found that Xiao Yu was not a bird for any force or background.
After thinking about it, they gradually realized that the northwest land was located in a remote place and had no great power. Even some large principalities could not come to him.
Xiao Yu is a local overlord, so he is naturally fearless.
These taxes brought huge benefits to Xiao Yu, and the income of the territory gradually became enriched, and it was no longer as weak as before.
After everything was settled, Xiao Yu thought about killing Karu and the others when he had time.
It is not a gentleman to have a grudge. Karu almost killed him and led his troops to destroy the Lion King leader. It is really unforgivable.
In the past, Xiao Yu had a relatively small number of soldiers and was not suitable for siege and fighting. It was a complete accident that he had taken down Feiying Village. There were tens of thousands of soldiers in Kalu's territory, and it was not so easy to seize them by defending the city, so Xiao Yu never launched a war.
Now, as his strength becomes stronger and stronger, Xiao Yu dares to engage in such a siege.
