Chapter 32 Return and New Plan

(The last chapter is 4,000 words long, so this chapter will be counted as tomorrow's update. I will add one more update tomorrow to make up for it. There will be three updates tomorrow)

At the entrance of the town center, Li Erlang had already brought a few people to welcome him back.

This second-level affairs officer managed the territory in an orderly manner during the nine days he was away, which made him look up at the whiteboard sent to him. No mistakes are merits.

It is a challenge to manage the food, drink, and defecation of 800 people.

"During the time you were away, we received some refugees. The current population of the territory has exceeded 800 people. The collection of food and the growth of newly planted plants are very good..."

The development of the territory is stable and improving. No one has much property, which leads to surprisingly good public security.

Ji Lin listened to Li Erlang's report and opened his own territory panel to check it.

[Lord]: Ji Lin

[Territory Race]: Human

[Lord Talent]:

Foresight, Fire Extinguisher, Planned Defender, Battlefield Maneuver (Master)

[Building]: Town Center.

[Army]: 100

[Territory Population]: 817/1600 (Population Capacity)

[Territory Building]: Town Center, Primary Residence x82, Farmland x400, Mill x4, Pasture x1, Public Toilet x1, Bathhouse x1

[Civilization Characteristics]: Blood Purification

[Territory]: Plain x1, Flood Plain x1, Swamp x1, Coast x1

Eight hundred people...

This small village with only 200 people when he arrived has become a large village with 800 people. When the next era is upgraded, the population limit will be increased from 1600 to 12800. The capacity will be increased eightfold. This number of people can already build a small city.

And the entire territory will automatically enter the big world after the upgrade, a world of chaos.

The bird has to break out of the shell, and the egg is the world. If a person wants to be born in the world, he must destroy the world.

Those warm nests built with fog walls will not protect humans for too long, and the enemy attack is also a rehearsal prepared by the system for the lords.

The lords who adopt special political systems and special structures will even have large cities of 100,000 people in this era...

His eyes fell on the villagers wearing simple clothes.

He could no longer tell which were the villagers originally given by the system and which were the refugees who came later. They adapted to this territory that was like a paradise. There was no war, and they only needed to farm to have enough food and clothing. The land was not theirs, and the food they grew also needed to be handed over.

This kind of life, which is full of oppression in the eyes of modern people, is also a very good life for them.

There are no landlords who exploit workers, nor are there overbearing robbers.

According to the useless information he knew in his previous life, every landform in the territory is a regular hexagon, and the side length of each regular hexagon block is 3 kilometers, with an area of ​​23.4 square kilometers. The four plots of land he now owns add up to an area of ​​more than 90 square kilometers.

Ji Lin fell into deep thought. He had just returned from there, and now he had to plan and consider his territory again.

He was ready to expand outward. The four resources stored now were already tens of thousands, enough for him to choose a new plot to shoot the town center.

The next place he chose to open up was the floodplain next to it. He only needed someone to go there, without bringing any materials, and he could shoot the building of the town center himself. After shooting the town center, he could build things everywhere in the floodplain.

The food production bonus provided by the floodplain is very important for maintaining more population in the next era. This model of people without property will not last too long, but after the pure production is converted into taxation, a lot of production capacity will be lost. In a sense, these lords are now.

100% tax rate for all employees.

Since it has been decided, there is no time to lose.

"You did a good job. We will need you later."

Ji Lin coughed lightly and operated the panel with his hands, changing the leader of the town from Li Erlang to Chongshan.

The latter was flattered to hear that the lord still needed him. Li Erlang knew from the beginning that he was just a substitute for Changheng and Chongshan. Years of war and wandering also made him unable to have any desire to fight for power and profit. He was satisfied with his current life.

"Lord, I have another unwelcome request... We originally had a thousand people, and we were attacked by a group of bandits on the road. Now there are only 600 people. I beg Lord, they are also villagers from our village... I have learned about their moving direction based on what other refugees said during this period..."

Ah? There is another mission?

Ji Lin, who was about to turn around, stopped at Li Erlang's words.

Since he has said it, it will not be groundless. There must be a group of bandits coming with these people, and eliminating these bandits is also part of his mission. This should have been one of his rewards. At that time, he was in the dungeon. Um...

This moderately difficult clearing mission seems familiar.

After nine days, a lot of stray people will be lost. This should be what he did ten days ago, but he was dealing with the dungeon at that time.

Thinking about it, it seems a bit painful.

Human resources are also very important resources.

Bandits...

It's just right for him to try out his gun.

Even without this group of bandits, he would have to shock all the wild monsters in this 10 square kilometer area with firearms and bring all the resource points in the area under his control.

Before the musketeers, his spearmen were afraid of the monster infantry, who could even replace several of his soldiers if they went crazy. Now, this 45-power 12mm caliber high-powered musket can even knock down steam spiders with a volley.

Ji Lin summoned the upgrade order and held it in his hand. It looked like a square chip with the three big words "musketeers" written on it, which was both vulgar and advanced. He had used the upgrade order before, which said that it could ignore the gap in time and upgrade to become, but it could upgrade the equipment held to become the unit specified by the upgrade order.

Maintenance knowledge, usage skills, weapon performance, combat experience.

Sorry, none of them.

He wanted Chang Heng, who had just led the musketeers in the dungeon, to come out and practice again in the territory, and lead those spearmen who were used to wielding iron spears to wield another kind of iron spear and become another kind of spear.

This feeling of having subordinates is still very refreshing.

This feeling of not having to do everything by yourself is just right.

The workload in the dungeon before made him have dark circles under his eyes.

After thinking it through, Ji Lin handed the upgrade order to his deputy Chang Heng who was standing beside him, and instructed him.

"Chang Heng, here is the upgrade order for you. Go gather all the spearmen in the territory and upgrade them to musketeers. I also need to study and think about new buildings. If you have time, send someone to scout the locations of those refugees and bandits."

"Yes, Chang... I get the order!"

Chang Heng subconsciously wanted to salute but stopped himself and turned to clasping his fists.

Back in the bedroom, Ji Lin clicked on the two new building blueprints he had obtained.
