Chapter 576: Upgrading the County
After confirming that everything was arranged properly, Huangfu Chaobo led the generals to the administrative hall, opened his own operation interface, and found that an upgrade button on it was displayed in green and available. Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Chaobo reached out and clicked the green button.
"Ding Dong, the player applied for territory upgrade, confirm."
"Confirm!"
"System prompts, the player's territory is upgraded to town-level territory and city-level territory. According to system requirements, it is checking whether the upgrade requirements are met."
"The population has reached 20,000, which meets the system requirements!"
"Territory building detection: living buildings include residential buildings, canteens, warehouses, lumberyards, quarries... a total of 30 types, exceeding the 20 living buildings required for city upgrades."
"Military buildings include infantry battalions, archery battalions, cavalry battalions, parade grounds, barracks, equipment centers... a total of eight types, meeting the upgrade requirements."
"Fanghua buildings include private schools, brothels, ancestral halls, city god temples, academies... a total of six types, meeting the upgrade requirements."
"The number of troops in the territory has reached the upgrade requirements, and the people's hearts have reached the requirements..."
"The lord's official position has reached the upgrade requirements."
。 。 。
"After system detection, the territory has reached the requirements for upgrading to a city. Do you want to confirm the upgrade?"
"Confirm!" Huangfu Chaobo cursed in his heart. Is it so troublesome to upgrade a small city? In his opinion, this city is nothing great. He doesn't think about what level his current city has reached. If he is an ordinary player, how much time and energy will it take to upgrade his territory to the level of a small city?
"For a cross-level upgrade of the territory, the corresponding upgrade tasks need to be completed:
First, the lord needs to obtain the consent of the government above the county level where the territory is located and appoint the chief officer of the territory as the county magistrate. The system automatically searches for the territory around Youbeiping in Youzhou, so it is automatically configured under the jurisdiction of Youbeiping County. Please apply to the chief officer of Longhua in Youbeiping Prefecture to serve as the county magistrate. After obtaining the appointment, the post station between the neighboring county and the territory will be automatically opened. If the task cannot be completed, the post station will be invalid.
Second, the territory needs to repel the attack of 5,000 soldiers of the enemy within one month.
Third, the territory needs to have a reasonable income for the upgrade of the territory to a city. The lord must achieve the task of 100 guan of daily territory income for ten consecutive days within one month.
Fourth, the territory is upgraded to a city. How can there be no subordinate territories under the jurisdiction? Please have more than five village-level territories in the city within one month."
A series of task requirements were issued, and Huangfu Chaobo was stunned. Who knew that before he could react, the system prompt came again.
"Congratulations to the player, because the territory is the first to apply for upgrading to the city level, the difficulty of the task is doubled, the offensive troops are 10,000, and the daily income task is to reach 200 guan per day."
The system prompt made Huangfu Chaobo almost spit out blood. Is this worth congratulating? Oh, go, but it seems that this task is not that difficult after doubling the difficulty.
He didn't think about who is as biàntài as him. The difficulty set by the system is already a very difficult difficulty for ordinary players. The attack of 10,000 soldiers is five times his regular troops for a large town-level territory with only 20,000 people. If you want to stop it, it is very difficult.
And the daily income of 200 guan for ten consecutive days, that is, 200,000 coppers, is not a problem for Longhua. You know, Longhua only needs to open the post station. As a city on the edge of the grassland, it will definitely attract a large number of players. Now Longhua has horses, blood medicine, and equipment of all levels for sale, so the income of 200,000 coppers per day is basically no problem.
Sure enough, after Huangfu Chaobo told Tian Yu and the others about the task requirements, Tian Yu and the others were relieved.
After filling in the names of Tian Yu and the others on the list of relevant officials in Longhua, Huangfu Chaobo chose to submit, and then in less than a quarter of an hour,
he heard the system prompt that the appointment of Tian Yu and the others had been approved by the Youbeiping Taishou Mansion. Then, several system prompts followed:
"Congratulations to the player, the post station between the territory Longhua City and Junmi City is open. Please set the location of the post station!"
After that, Huangfu Chaobo showed a virtual map of ten miles around Longhua in front of him. Without thinking much, Huangfu Chaobo placed the location of the post station one mile outside Tangtou Pass.
This is a system post station, and there is no need to worry about anyone coming to rob or something. The most important thing is that Huangfu Chaobo does not want to put it next to Longhua City. If someone wants to attack Longhua, they can suddenly send troops from the post station, which will pose a threat to Longhua.
However, I thought there would be no such thing. There are still many rich people like Huangchaoye in the game. If someone takes advantage of Longhua's unpreparedness and does this, it will be depressing.
After the Longhua City Posthouse was properly settled, a system prompt sounded in the game: "Congratulations to the player for upgrading the territory to the city level. As the first player to upgrade the territory to the city level, the system will reward the player."
Such a system prompt once again caused a commotion in the game. All the territories in the game were stuck at the town level. Now suddenly a territory said it was upgraded to the city level. You know, everyone doesn't even know where the upgrade blueprint is. Moreover, there is another big problem. The population of the territory is not enough.
Just when everyone was wondering whose territory was upgraded to the city level, another piece of news shocked the players in Youbeiping: "Longhua County has been added to the jurisdiction of Youbeiping. Longhua City is officially open to players. The post station between Junmi County and Longhua County has been opened. Players can go through the post station or go there by themselves."
The system prompt did not say that Longhua is still in the trial period after being upgraded to a small city. However, for players, this is no longer important. Although only players in Youbeiping knew this news, soon the entire game knew that the territory newly upgraded to the city level was actually in Youbeiping, and it was outside the Great Wall.
A new county town means a new territory, because the old county town has the players who first entered it. Although they did not occupy the county town openly, they privately divided the various parts of the city into different forces, making it difficult for new players or teams to gain a foothold.
Now there is a new county town, and this county town is at the forefront of the battle with foreign races. It can be said that it is the best supply point for players before going deep into the grassland. Therefore, the prosperity of Longhua is just around the corner.
