Chapter 138 Rapid Development
Update time: 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 properties of other robbers were also gathered in Feiying Village, basically all of them were seized by Xiao Yu.
Those gold coins alone, according to the statistics, are more than 40 million, which made Xiao Yu's heart almost stop beating with excitement.
The days of misery are finally over.
In addition to the money, there are also countless precious treasures. Feiying Village has been robbed for hundreds of years, so how much has it accumulated? Antiques, rare items, including some magic items are piled up like mountains.
Although a lot were destroyed by the fire this time, most of them were preserved. Because Xie Sanlang dug many caves or cellars in order to preserve these things, they are all well preserved.
Xiao Yu sent all the carriages led by the Lion King to pull these things from Feiying Village, and it took more than a month to finish pulling them.
From now on, the Lion King Leader will no longer have to worry about finances. The old housekeeper Xiao Hong looked at these things, his mouth was open from ear to ear, and his hands were trembling constantly. The sisters-in-law stood directly at the door and waited, and they immediately buckled up anything they liked, with a gleam in their eyes.
"Snatching this industry is indeed the best way to make a fortune."
Xiao Yu now feels like a nouveau riche, and suddenly won a lottery worth hundreds of millions, and she is desperate.
In the past few days, Xiao Yu went out to take a look at the mountainous warehouse when he had nothing to do, wishing he could sleep in it every night.
With money, you can do many things below. Mu Huali and others suggested expanding the scale, recruiting troops, and building another city.
But after Xiao Yu thought about it, he still rejected it. Now, although the current situation in the world is very unstable, it has not yet reached the point of chaos.
At this time, the scale of expansion is too large. On the one hand, there are not enough talents and it is difficult to manage effectively. On the other hand, it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others.
The so-called making a fortune in silence, the first thing the lion king has 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 grain and grass for future Time to make plans.
Xiao Yu plans not to build large-scale cities for the time being, but to develop more small cities like villages and towns, raise more militias, so that they can be pulled up quickly when there is a real war, and they don't have to bear such a heavy military salary at ordinary times.
Therefore, in the next half a year, Xiao Yu led people to wipe out the remaining bandits everywhere, and completely wiped out this northwest land.
Doing the math, Xiao Yu has been in this world for more than a year, and he has completely pacified this northwest land, so he is young and promising. After all, this is something you Xiao Zhantian wanted to do but couldn't do.
Both Xiao Hong and Long Hui were filled with emotion. Thinking of you, Xiao Zhantian, who was famous for the first time, but died in depression, it is unavoidable to be sad, and seeing Xiao Yu being so promising, they were very gratified.
After more than half a year of development, the population of the Lion King Territory has reached millions, which is many times stronger than it was at the beginning.
However, although the population is large, there are still very few talents in all aspects. This is not something that can be trained in a day and a half.
Although the military academy founded by Xiao Yu stumbled and encountered many problems, it still trained a large number of junior officers.
These are veterans who have participated in battles, and those with more brains were awarded the title of first-class civilians by Xiao Yu, and they can become junior officers.
Because of the unequal status of nobles and civilians in this era, it is still difficult for civilians to become nobles or high-ranking military officers.
There was no other way, so Xiao Yu came up with such a title of a few-class civilians, which were divided into five classes.
The fifth class is the lowest class of commoners, as well as slaves, without any status.
The fourth class belongs to ordinary civilians, without any rights, just farming honestly, just like civilians in other territories.
From the third level up, some special permissions are gradually granted, such as being able to enter a military academy, become a junior officer, or serve in a territorial government agency.
The improvement of each level is accumulated by those who have made some contributions to the territory.
At the beginning, Long Hui and the others didn't figure out what the intentions of these civilians were, so they didn't stop them. After these civilians were classified into grades, Xiao Yu gradually gave some authority to the first-class civilians, and Xiao Hong and Long Hui realized that something was wrong.
But it has been implemented for such a long time at this time, and it is impossible to change it back. And Xiao Yu is also confident, they are still civilians now, but they are just higher-level civilians, and higher-level civilians naturally have more privileges.
These privileges did not greatly infringe on 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 points. The accumulation methods of these merit points include military merit, donating food and other materials to the territory, creating some special inventions, how many apprentices he has taught, etc., in a word Words encourage military exploits, farming, invention, and production.
Driven by Xiao Yu's policies, the labor enthusiasm of the people in the territory has increased unprecedentedly. In the past, the farmers who farmed the land were for the lords. Naturally, they were monks for a day and beat the clock for a day, just muddling along. But now they have the right to use the land for a few years, and all the food belongs to them. Naturally, they work desperately from dawn to dusk.
The change in the production distribution method plays the most critical role in improving the labor force.
However, Xiao Yu's system of several classes of civilians has allowed these farmers to donate their surplus food and exchange it for success honors, so that they can gain a higher status, so that their children can enter military schools or work in government agencies Now, Xiao Yu has accumulated a large amount of food without spending a penny.
In war, food is the most critical strategic material.
Store food first, and then become king later, this is a trick played by all Chinese emperors fighting for hegemony.
The territory has basically stabilized now, and the population is increasing. Xiao Yu has also started to improve the system step by step, and is not too anxious to expand.
Xiao Yu set up a road card at an intersection in the territory, and began to collect taxes from merchants leading to Yunmeng. The establishment of these road cards is very simple, and people directly build a row of wooden fences, and then every other section of the road, Just place a second-level sentry tower.
With such an aura, ordinary people would never dare to break through.
Xiao Yu established a small town not far from Luka, and built 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 with Xiao Yu's random setting of road card fees here. Some powerful caravans with some backgrounds even made threats.
But Xiao Yu didn't care, and directly transferred a hundred orc infantry, whoever refused to accept it would be beaten and all their belongings would be confiscated.
After coming down a few times, no one dared to make trouble anymore.
Because they discovered that Xiao Yu was completely indifferent to any force and any background.
After thinking about it for a while, they gradually realized that this northwest land was located in a remote place, and it didn't have much influence. Even some large duchies couldn't attack him.
Xiao Yu is a tyrant, so naturally he has no fear.
These taxes have brought huge benefits to Xiao Yu, and the income of the territory has gradually increased, and it is no longer as weak as before.
After everything was calmed down, Xiao Yu thought about killing Kalu and the others when he had time.
It is unforgivable for this Karu to almost kill him and lead troops to destroy the Lion King leader.
In the past, Xiao Yu's soldiers were relatively small, and they were not suitable for siege operations. Taking Feiying Village was completely accidental. Karu's territory also had tens of thousands of soldiers. It was not so easy to take down the city. Yes, so Xiao Yu has never launched a war.
Now, with his strength getting stronger and stronger, Xiao Yu also dared to do this kind of siege battle.
