Chapter 29: Cities, Towns, and Villages
Residency is divided into several levels.
The lowest level is the village, and the buildings that can be built are low-level buildings such as "fences", "arable fields", and "grocery stores".
The higher level is the town. The buildings that can be built are "blacksmith shop", "book hall", "tavern", "tailor shop" and other intermediate buildings.
The highest one is the city. The buildings that can be built are all-encompassing. Various building branches can be built.
Upgrading a force's base actually requires a series of tedious tasks. Although it takes a lot of effort, the rewards are definitely worth it.

"productive forces."
Robert stretched out a finger and said like a leader: "Productivity is the first condition for urban development."
Qingyi rolled his eyes, no, he rolled his eyes at the fire of his soul. The game designers must be too humorous. They put such lines on the NPC, which immediately reminded people of "technology is the primary productive force".
After the meeting, the two men stood on the top of the city to enjoy the wind. Qingyi liked staying here more and more. The feeling of overlooking the earth was really great. The fires of the souls were extinguished one by one, just like
One eye after another.
"The most intuitive consequence of productivity is wealth. If your city is more productive, you will get more income. The resident level is a reflection of productivity, and it is related to prosperity, population and public support."
"Prosperity is a value calculated based on the number and level of all buildings. To put it simply, if you build a simple building such as a 'residence', the prosperity you get will definitely not be as good as the one that requires a lot of materials and a higher level.
'market'."
"The population is the people you can currently recruit, and it is linked to your level, station level, subordinate NPCs, etc. When your recruitment reaches the upper limit, you can no longer recruit. Is this easy to understand?"
Seeing Qingyi nodding, Robert stroked his non-existent beard and said: "The last one is the popularity of the people. It is the most important of the three indicators. To put it bluntly, it means whether the people are satisfied with your city."
To be honest, undead creatures will not take this into account, so those undead creatures that have no feelings, such as skeleton soldiers, cannot contribute to the popularity of the people."
"No way?" Qingyi was dumbfounded.
"Hmph, you think I don't know your plan? You sent a large number of ghost wolves and rotten vultures to attack 'Red Moon', isn't it just because you want to sacrifice these incomplete undead creatures? In your opinion,
Only undead creatures that feel no pain, won't lose morale, don't need salary or food, and are absolutely loyal to you are qualified to stay, right?"
Being seen through at a glance, Qingyi could only nod: "Yes."
"But they are puppets. Puppetes can be used to fight, but they cannot be used to build your country because they cannot express their opinions. Even if you are in a high position in the future, you will not hear any advice that is useful to you.
Any real criticism, because you are all a bunch of mutes. Arrogance is your character, destruction is your end."
"Is it that serious?!"
"A qualified king will be good at listening to the voices of the people below."
"I don't need to listen to their voices, I only need to care about the high-level NPCs around me, such as Waterboro Cullen, Patra, and Streum, because they are the backbone of the country——"
"The people are the cornerstone of the country, and the pillars must rest on the cornerstone." Robert said, seriously interrupting Qingyi's words.
Qingyi fell silent.
"Look at Salamonro. Is it because of the 'First Iron Gate in the Continent' that it can be passed down for seven generations? Is it because of the protection of the elves? Is it because of the prosperous commerce and navigation industry? Is it because of the gentle climate? I
Let me tell you, yes, but not entirely! Because of the natural moat and the elves as the backing, because there is a pass that no one can invade, because there is a large inflow of funds, because the weather is good... because of this kind of things, the people will feel happy!"
Is that why the name "Happy Plain" came about?...
"Only happy people can make a country last for seven generations. If the Kingdom of Salamonero is ruled by a tyrant, it will definitely collapse from within. Even if the above four conditions are met, it will not be spared. A country is a collection of people, without
There is no country for people.”
Qingyi turned his head away: "I understand."
"Really understand?"
"I really understand."
"Hey, I knew you would definitely understand." Robert smiled brightly and patted Qingyi on the shoulder: "Little guy, if you want to become a qualified king, you still need to learn a lot, a lot."
"It's so annoying, so what's the situation in our city?"
"It is an underdeveloped town with high prosperity, moderate population, and low public support. In other words, your current prosperity is enough, even compared to ordinary towns, and it is more than enough; and the population is still barely adequate;
The last thing is the public support value. Your public support value is just enough to establish a village."
"No way?! But it's not a big deal, right..."
"If the public support value is low, many buildings and NPCs will not be able to exert their full effect. Do you think Master Patra always has Alzheimer's disease? Do you think Strum's frequent accidents are accidental? Do you think Frankie can deal with a few
Are low-level adventurers still injured all over their bodies?"
Qingyi wanted to refute, but tragically found that he had nothing to say. It is true that the abilities of these subordinates are weak among NPCs of the same level, but the system will definitely not favor other races. There must be something wrong with it.
An omission occurred, which resulted in the subordinate's ability being compromised.
"Although there are few people under you who can provide popular support, the average popular support is very high. Fortunately, the few 'pillars' around you don't have much objection to you, so the popular support can still maintain a village.
But if you want to continue to develop, you must get more middle- and senior-level subordinates."
Qingyi raised his hand and said: "Old immortal, I want to ask, since low-level undead creatures have no intelligence and cannot provide public support... Then how did the undead empire in history operate? Is it possible that there were many middle- and high-level NPCs at that time?
Does it have to be like a carrot?"
"They are all deformed structures, how can they still function? They will all be destroyed within fifty years."
Qingyi's head is covered with black lines.
Robert coughed a few times and said: "Speaking of which, I am also responsible for your station becoming what it is now. But don't worry, I naturally have my reasons for arranging it this way."
"Let me talk about the first point first, why not build it from the village? Because you have a longer-term vision. An empire is waiting for you. Do you have to go up to it step by step? Especially when you have Master Patra.
What's the situation? Look outside, how many forces are waiting to return to the mainland, do you think you can leisurely go from low to high?"
"Second point, build a large number of medium and high-level buildings because your subordinates need them! 'Drawing Room', 'Library', 'Laboratory', 'Beast Nest', 'Colosseum'... Can you not build it?
?If they are not established, how can they play their role and how can they be retained? Talent is a rare creature that cannot be found. You must not miss it, so you must meet their conditions no matter what. As for the issue of 'city walls',
I don't think a 'fence' could stand up to Plato and Zeno."
"The third point is to train you. In the case of internal and external difficulties, can you find a solution? Only by forcing you can you maximize your potential and truly grow up. Little guy, this time I will blitzkrieg
Very satisfied and looking forward to your next performance.”
Robert said, slowly descending the city wall.
