Chapter 919
Because Aniu successfully convinced the Mi family of Donghai and secretly reached an agreement with Yuan Shao, he actually needed to raise 100 million gold during the 15-day fundraising period. The territorial fundraising amount had met the standard, so Aniu did not accept the later help of his allies. Aniu knew that everyone had done their best in the first wave of fundraising. Emperor Wu of Han even prepaid the payment for the meat dumplings for the next three months to the Friendly Adventure Gang. Although the subsequent amount was not much, it may once again drag down their development.
The details of Fengxiang loans are as follows:
Emperor Wu of Han 2 million;
Zong Wuyan had 1.7 million;
Zilong will have 10 million;
Feifei 500,000;
Feilong Baby 6 million (there is 1 million later. The baby gave it to the name of Yuexi tribe playing and paying dividends. Aniu was not convenient to regard it as a loan, so he could only record this love);
Taran tribe 1100 Piwuheng war horses;
Burn Dang Qiang 5 million gold and 2,500 Western Qiang war horses;
Cao Cao 500,000;
Kong Rong 1 million;
Mi family in Donghai is 30 million.
Even though he had become a prince who owned two counties and states, even if he recovered some funds from Qingzhou Prefecture and successfully discovered the Yellow Turban treasure, when he saw the bill again, a certain city lord still had the urge to vomit blood.
A Niu sighed: "Fortunately, we took the risk to discover the Yellow Turban treasure, otherwise we would have become penniless paupers. Even if we don't go bankrupt, we will never be able to bear the expenses of rebuilding the county town..."
"Yes, I didn't expect that the Yellow Turban treasure actually had 50 million, which really solved our urgent needs."
When talking about the Yellow Turban Treasure, Deputy City Lord Sun was in high spirits and continued: "After 10 million gold was delivered to Qingzhou Prefecture, the territory's funds were extremely tight. Fortunately, Mi Shaodong attached 5 million when he reported to the territory. Otherwise, the territory's preparation funds would be seriously insufficient. Even so, the territory's capital stock was less than 300,000 after the battle, which was almost empty. After the war, we recovered 30 million from Qingzhou Prefecture, plus the Yellow Turban Treasure 50 million. The territory's cash exceeded 80 million!"
"Of course, we owe a lot of debts. The Wuhuan war horses and the Western Qiang war horses are calculated at 5,000 gold per horse. The 3,600 war horses are worth 18 million. In addition, the loans of all parties are borrowed, and the total amount of foreign debt is 74.7 million. If it is returned in full immediately, the territory will only be more than 5 million, and it will not even be able to pay the 10 million gold for the construction of the Swordsman City."
"The Lord Ftton of the Taran Tribe and the leader of the Qiang Mangzhong Dadu knew that Fengxiang was using money and said that he could gradually deduct it through subsequent bilateral trade. We have only returned 56.7 million yuan in principal, and in the end there is about 24 million yuan left. Not only has the Swordsman City been built, but it can also guarantee the funds for Mr. Chen to build the city in Donglai next month."
If the player's territory wants to upgrade to the scale of the capital, it must occupy the famous city. The problem is that there are only more than 1,100 famous cities, which is not enough for 50,000 lords and players to score. This means that the real watershed between the lords and players in the capital stage. There are too many monks and less porridges, and the extreme shortage of famous cities also means opportunities. Aniu is the only two players in the game. He has the necessary conditions for building a new famous city. Building a new famous city can not only make profits from it, but also effectively enhance Fengxiang's strength. This improvement is all-round, with all economic, talent, military, and influence. In essence, Aniu, who claims to be a pacifist, naturally does not want to miss the opportunity, which is also the reason why Fengxiang formulates an ambitious city building plan.
"The county town is just that, strange goods are alive, strange goods are alive... Who can take advantage of the county towns of Qi and Donglai? If you don't nod, labor and capital can do it? If you want to upgrade to a capital city, you can get the money. Someone should rush to get the rent of 100,000 yuan per month. If you lose the famous city, it will be downgraded to the city level. No one dares not to renew the rent. In order to avoid being swept out, those territories will inevitably maintain friendly relations with Fengxiang, which will have great influence and dominance... There is a lot of money, and the more famous cities, the better."
The system city can be built or upgraded once a month, but it does not mean that if you use 10 million to build a first-class city, you can get four months of peace of mind and wait for the new city to be upgraded to the capital. In fact, since the construction period of the stone wall is long, building a famous city alone cannot guarantee the maximum efficiency of urban upgrading. Chen Gong calculated and concluded that at least 3 famous cities should be built in the early stage to ensure that they are newly built or upgraded every month without wasting time.
This news is like a bolt from the blue for Deputy City Lord Sun, who is in charge of Fengxiang's money bag...
Fortunately, Sun Liang was full and had been tested for a long time, and he might have been forced to resist by Fengxiang's long-term financial situation. He was not forced to hang himself when he was just a player's territory, so naturally he wouldn't be able to do so now.
"Well, Long Fei can be self-sufficient and no longer need to withdraw funds from the main city. Fortunately, after the reconstruction of Luoyang is completed, the entire Henan Yin will have jurisdiction over one year, and it can also benefit from it. It is very good. Qi State and Donglai County can also produce hemorrhage; the new system city is not just for Fengxiang City to bear... After a while, the lord should auction the right to rent a famous city..." Sun Liang secretly said.
Of course, after the war, Fengxiang was rebuilt, and the pensions for the fallen soldiers still cost a lot. The 18 million-yuan war horse loans of the Qiang and Talan tribes also had to be gradually repaid. Fortunately, there were many seized in the war, and the territory would continue to earn wealth after it resumed normal operations. Sun Liang was still quite confident.
"The foreign debt owed has been processed, but what about the donations from the villagers? How is the progress?"
A Niu did not forget that when he might be unable to raise the necessary funds and might miss the position of Qi State, the national fundraising launched by Fengxiang Township. That fundraising moved and shocked all the players in the matter, including A Niu!
The dust settled and the crisis was resolved. Aniu naturally hoped to compensate those respectable and lovely villagers.
When launching the public fundraising that swept the territory, A Niu's original intention was to borrow money from the wealthy Fengxiang people to overcome the difficulties. He also arranged a large number of officials to register and return them one by one. The Fengxiang people did not disappoint A Niu. When he was in the most difficult and needed help, the Fengxiang people extended a helping hand, giving far more than A Niu hoped!
This fair, reasonable and absolutely necessary measure for registering loans. It seems so redundant from the first Fengxiang person pouring money directly into the basket. Some villagers even spontaneously organized private placements! This also makes it impossible for the villagers who donated even if the territory has overcome difficulties and have enough money!
Similarly, the Fengxiang people later sold their abilities to foreigners at the temporary market to support A Niu to become the prime minister of Qi. That sentiment is no longer a measure of money.
After the war, officials from the administrative center visited door to door, hoping to count the efforts of the villagers in previous fundraising activities so that the territory could make compensation.
"The lord...is hardly any progress."
“No progress?”
"Yes, the villagers are very uncooperative... either they forgot, or they say that supporting the lord to become the prime minister is the common wish of everyone, or they say that donation voluntarily has no intention of asking for territory... Some officials in charge of affairs just ask a few more questions. The villagers are not happy, saying that they are not doing their jobs, saying that they meddled with other people's business, saying that the territory is now facing large-scale reconstruction, everyone is very busy, and they are less trouble for everyone..." Sun Liang reported with a tough head, "Mr. Chen and Mr. Pang both thought that the villagers were sincere and should not follow up on this matter, so as not to disappoint everyone's expectations."
A certain city lord was speechless. What a lovely villager, he just did some of the lord's duties. The npc villager treated him as a relative.
"The villagers have paid too much and they are not at ease if they don't make up for it." A Niu sighed.
Sun Liang said: "Master, you may consider finding a reason to compensate everyone in other ways. For example, if the territory becomes the world's largest capital, or if you become the prime minister of Qi, you pay an extra month's salary to celebrate. In this way, you can express the territory's gratitude to everyone and the villagers are more likely to accept it."
"Good, very thoughtful, just do it as you think."
A Niu remembered something and asked, "Now I am no longer an ordinary lord, but a prince of Qi and Donglai County. Nowadays, many county towns need capable officials. You are Fengxiang's old man, diligent and serious, and you can be released. Pang Tong and I both believe that with your current talent, you should be appointed as the county magistrate, and you can also be proud and shine your family. But according to Pang Tong, you seem to be released without any accident and would rather guard the small Fengxiang City..."
"Yes."
A Niu wondered: "Why?"
Sun Liang was silent and said for a while: "When the territory was still in the village stage, I was already in Fengxiang. The lord is kind and gave everyone a high salary, encouraged everyone to improve their skills, and allowed the villagers to enjoy free education... My subordinate is a commoner, and the lord is sent to the school. Later, his father died at the hands of the Yellow Turban to defend the territory. The lord personally sent the pension to his mother and asked Mr. Chen to treat his relatives well with the fallen soldiers... The subordinate secretly made a vow that even if he was heartbroken, he would follow the lord in front of the saddle and horse, and would always be a member of Fengxiang..."
"My subordinates have shallow knowledge and are not enough to entrust major matters. The matters of the county are managed by Mr. Chen and Mi Shaodong and other talented people. After all, Fengxiang is the place where the lord makes his fortune, and the fundamental location of the territory, and there are a large number of strangers lingering. The affairs are cumbersome and need to be taken care of by people. After all, there are some experiences. If the lord does not have a better candidate, let me continue to stay in the city. As for Guangyao family... the whole family is Fengxiang. For me, for my family, being the deputy city lord of Fengxiang is the greatest honor to be able to worry about the lord! I believe that my father will be proud of me in the sky!"
At the end, Sun Liang was already a little choked.
Sun Liang has always been introverted, and this true love has moved a certain city lord. A Niu didn't know about Sun Liang's father before, and no matter how competent the lord is, he would not know every villager or all the details, but A Niu still blames himself.
He stood up, patted Sun Liang's shoulder lightly, and said, "You are the best transferred official trained by Fengxiang, and it also proved that you are a competent deputy city lord. Your father should be proud of you!"
Tears burst into tears.
Sun Liang, who revealed his true feelings, quickly adjusted his emotions and continued to report to A Niu on the construction of the territory. Some time ago, Fengxiang was in danger. In order to overcome the worst economic and survival crisis in the territory's history, A Niu either kept running around and contacting the think tanks day and night, and the territory's internal affairs had not been seriously concerned for a long time.
"Affected by the shortage of funds and war, the construction process was dragged down by a certain period after the territory was upgraded to a first-class capital. It was not until the territory was lifted that the relevant construction returned to normal one after another. So far, among the five new buildings, smelting workshops, statues, and cavalry training camps have been completed and put into use; although the Red Line Pavilion was invested in the construction as soon as possible after the upgrade, it was subject to the long construction period. It will take about ten days to complete; as for the fourth-level stone wall, the completed part is insignificant compared with the total project volume, and it is still early to be completed..." Sun Liang smiled bitterly.
Stone city walls have always been known for their large investment and long construction periods. As far as the building level is concerned, the city wall is definitely the biggest obstacle to the upgrade of players' territory. Building a city wall can certainly improve the safety factor of the territory, but the massive investment of capital has made lords who are not landlords frightened to talk about it. The most tragic thing is that the city wall is not built once. The city wall of Luoyang City is level 9.
Previously, players had a consensus that the biggest function of the stone city wall is not to improve the safety factor, but to cheat the father, dragging the fat father into the plant father... It is obvious that he wants to suppress the upgrade speed of the lord player.
All the city-level lords were furious for it, and A Niu was no exception.
Fortunately, the longer the territory's development cycle is, the longer it will be. No matter how foolish the stone city wall is, it will always be repaired if it is sufficiently invested. Now Fengxiang's financial situation is very good, Xiaoyu is an intermediate architect, and the rest is to wait patiently.
Fengxiang has completed the upgrade of new buildings in the capital stage early.
Ten primary buildings have been upgraded to intermediate levels, and their output and profit have been significantly improved.
Among them, the upgrade of the primary equipment center is particularly important for Fengxiang. The intermediate equipment center can accommodate 6 stores. Due to the upgrade drawings of intermediate buildings, the equipment center is directly upgraded to the advanced level, and the store capacity becomes 9. For Fengxiang, who must rely on the equipment center to produce rhubarb crossbows and Pojun suits, its significance can be imagined!
"Master. The upgrade drawings of intermediate buildings are really good. If used properly, they may even have the effect of turning into gold. If possible, I hope to collect them as much as possible." Sun Liang said in a longing.
Upgrading drawings are recognized as good things. Whether upgrading personal skills or building-level drawings, they can be classified as strategically important items, and it is also recognized that they are difficult to get. All known upgrade drawings currently require at least completing regional or national system tasks. The intermediate building upgrade drawings in Fengxiang Upgrading Equipment Center are the reward for the first place in the Yellow Turban Campaign.
There is another way, which is to collect it from the player, but if there is no special reason, it is hard to imagine that the clear-headed lord player will sell it.
"It's very difficult, but you can place a purchase order in the territory and try your luck."
"good."
"It seems that we must participate in the battle missions in the future as much as possible and strive for a good ranking. Unfortunately, we did not participate directly in the battle against Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, there should be no problem in entering the top three camps with Fengxiang's strength, and we may get upgrade drawings."
There are not so many things in the world that are the best of both worlds, and of course A Niu doesn’t really regret it.
If Fengxiang directly participated in the battle to attack Dong Zhuo, it would be difficult to receive a series of tasks for reconstruction of Luoyang, and there would be no opportunity to complete the reconstruction task and advance to the princes. Perhaps, the development of Fengxiang City would be another completely different trajectory...
"It seems that something is wrong!"
A Niu vaguely realized that he had missed something, but for a moment he couldn't remember it, and frowned and thought hard.
Sun Liang was confused and said in surprise: "Lord, what's wrong?"
A city lord was worried that he couldn't find a clue: "What did I just say?"
"The lord just said, there seems to be something wrong."
"No, go further!"
"From forward, we should participate in the battle missions as much as possible and strive for a good ranking. Unfortunately, we did not participate directly in the battle against Dong Zhuo, otherwise we would likely get upgrade drawings..."
"The campaign mission...attack Dong Zhuo...I remembered!"
A Niu slapped the table and stood up!
"We did not participate in the battle directly and could not get the camp ranking reward. We had received benefits from Dong Zhuo long before the war! If I remember correctly, in addition to funds and talents, two special buildings, there are also two intermediate building upgrade drawings!!"
"Is there any? Why don't I know there are still building upgrade drawings?"
Sun Liang widened his eyes. As the deputy city lord, he certainly knew that the territory was benefiting from Dong Zhuo. He passed by his hands when the money and talents were in place. He personally arranged the special buildings, the Heroes Temple and Juxian Building, but Sun Liang had no impression of the upgrade drawings of the intermediate building.
After carefully recalling, Sun Liang affirmed: "Lord, I must have never seen those two drawings before!"
A certain city lord didn't say anything, pulled Sun Liang away: "It must be there, look for Pang Tong, he is the person involved!"
Since Zheng Xuan settled in Fengxiang, Pang Tong obediently gave up the school. In front of the "God Master", Pang Tong, the famous teacher, can only be a cloud. Of course, Pang Tong himself was very satisfied with this result, "I am finally relieved!"
In the intelligence center, the ugly man was reading a book while drinking leisurely.
When A Niu and Sun Liangfeng rushed in, Pang Tong hurriedly hid the wine jar under the table, and quickly wiped a few handfuls of his sleeves between his mouth and neck, straightened his chest, and sat upright, but the unique fragrance of Baihua wine could not completely disappear all at once. Pang Tong, who had been warned by a city lord for drinking at an office location, had a heart bulging.
A Niu didn't seem to notice this and asked about it directly.
Before the battle against Dong Zhuo officially broke out, Li Ru sneaked into Qingzhou and invited the world's No. 1 city to join on behalf of Dong Zhuo's power. It was Pang Tong who bargained with Li Ru.
Seeing that the lord was not coming to catch him in pain, the ugly man secretly was glad.
At that time, I found a lot of good things from Li Ru, especially when I was acting like a gangster and being vulgar and scolding a city lord... It was quite satisfying, and it was a proud thing for an ugly man. Although it happened several years later, I still remember the details clearly.
"The upgrade drawings of intermediate buildings, there are two!"
