Famous city protection fees have continuity. No one can bear the loss of losing famous cities. Therefore, it can be regarded as a long-term project and is fully qualified to be included in the long-term income of the territory. However, the protection fees that can be collected are only one-third of an acre of Bajun, two acres.

This special territory and foreign stronghold cannot be imitated. It is difficult to expect this income from the protection fee of Bajun's famous city to completely fill the huge salary black hole.

"Everyone, do you have any good ideas?" Yu Buzhi looked at everyone with expectant eyes.

There was another unspeakable silence in the office. Many people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the lord.

Yu Buzhi felt very emotional in his heart, he shouldn't have unrealistic thoughts.

How can there be so many ready-made ways to make money?

Zhulu leader has been trapped by money for a long time. Several deputy city lords are all very careful with their budgets. Yi Feng is a typical representative of the city that has got into the money eye. All the methods that can be thought of have been put into practice a long time ago. Can we wait until now? As for the protection of famous cities

The shelving of the fee is a special case. It is out of consideration of maintaining the reputation of the lord as much as possible, otherwise the decision to implement it would not have been delayed until now.

"There should be an explanation for the positioning of foreign strongholds." Xun Yan suddenly said.

Seeing that the source of income was blocked, Xun Yan decisively turned to the direction of cutting sources.

Beppu and Enclave are quite different in the Zhulu collar system.

These two strongholds have some characteristics of player strongholds: for example, the territory can lead the construction process of the stronghold; it can recruit troops within the stronghold; it can also accept the territory's dispatch of troops from other strongholds to garrison; and it can realize player teleportation through the inn... All of the above are all

It is the characteristic of the player's stronghold.

But it would be a bit far-fetched to conclude that they are player bases based on this.

This is because foreign strongholds also have some characteristics that are incompatible with territorial strongholds.

There are two most intuitive basis: stronghold size and army control.

Let’s talk about the size of the base first.

As we all know, according to the rules of the game, the size of the subordinate stronghold cannot exceed the main city.

The enclave was newly created, small in scale, and officially given to vassal forces. The situation is special, so I won’t mention it for now.

But by chance, Beppu was directly promoted to a second-level capital city by Qinglong's clone. Its scale was higher than that of the main city, breaking this iron rule. It obviously has a large number of players' territory, but the scale of the stronghold exceeds that of the main city, becoming a special existence.

.In the entire "Three Kingdoms" game, Beppu is unique.

Next comes military control.

The fact that the size of Beppu exceeds that of the main city makes territorial think tanks very worried that the stronghold is becoming a famous city, which in turn raises concerns about whether the Beppu garrison is completely controllable. Whether the Beppu army is subject to the constraints of becoming a famous city, and whether there are proportional restrictions on troop dispatches,

It is directly related to the territory's development strategy on the Japanese island and has far-reaching influence. For this reason, Yu Buji took some time to teleport to Beppu and recruited a hundred-man team for testing. The actual test proved that although the hundred-man team fully obeyed the orders, there were restrictions on sending troops.

, this is the treatment only available to the famous city army.

This situation made everyone collectively dumbfounded.

It directly triggered a discussion on whether to recall the expeditionary force, lest the thousands of soldiers and horses sent to the Japanese island would be trapped inside. Later, the Polu Cavalry, which was the first to arrive on the Japanese island, sent a small team into the city to test the water, and confirmed that the territorial direct troops did not seem to be able to do so.

Due to the restrictions on sending troops, the doubts about reinforcements to Japan were finally dispelled.

Of course, these are all things for later.

The point is that Beppu's local army has troop dispatch restrictions, and this is a treatment only available to famous cities.

Regardless of the basic nature of the strongholds, the construction mode, or the operation system, they are all very different from normal territories or special territories. They are not like player strongholds, but closer to the system strongholds. There are obvious differences between the two foreign strongholds when compared with each other.

, the enclave belongs to the Qinggu tribe, while Beppu is relatively independent. This makes how to define a foreign stronghold very complicated, and there are also disagreements within Zhulu Territory. Whether Beppu and the enclave are player strongholds or system strongholds has not yet been determined

Conclusion.

Why did Xun Yan ask to determine the location of the foreign stronghold at this moment?

The reason is very simple: the positioning is different, and the salary difference is huge!

If it is recognized as a direct player stronghold, the salary should be the same as that of the main city, which will inevitably make the salary burden of the territory heavier; if it is recognized as a system stronghold, then the situation will be much simpler, and it will be based on the salary level of famous cities, and everything will be relaxed.

The enclave belongs to the Qinggu tribe, and the main city does not need to worry about the salaries of the affiliated forces.

In fact, this definition mainly applies to Beppu.

Beppu has a small population, but it is a second-level capital. When the population increases, the salary expenditure will be very considerable. At present, apart from player consumption, Beppu has not found any other outstanding economic value. If it is managed according to the territorial strongholds, it will obviously only rely on the large number of other strongholds.

Blood transfusion, in the long run, will be an unbearable burden for the leading players.

"Compared with the standards of famous cities." Yu Buzhi sighed.

He had been inclined to bring Beppu into the direct system, but after seeing the problems faced by the territorial economy, he still insisted on his original intention and completely ignored whether the entire system could bear it.

Just turn around and never be sloppy.

"Let's do this for today. Let's think more about how to generate income after we go back." Seeing that no one had any other suggestions, Yu Buzhi decisively ended the meeting.

The meeting ended and everyone dispersed.

Walking on the way to the teleportation array, Zhai Jiong's steps were extremely heavy.

Xun Yan's judgment on the territory's economic situation made Zhai Jiong feel an unprecedented crisis.

When he went to the Hetao to establish the Dragon Territory, Zhai Jiong had mixed feelings in his heart. He was excited and unparalleled about the Han family's return to the Hetao, but also had deep fear and worry about the Qiang and Hu forces. As the Dragon Territory gradually grew, the grassland uploaded

After praising the legend of the dragon and Zhu Jun returning Shangjun to the Han Dynasty, the dragon territory became more and more secure and stable, and the worries in Zhai Jiong's heart gradually faded away.

But it just faded away, never disappeared.

Zhai Jiong did not dare to let down his guard, just because the place he was in was a dangerous river.

Going to the Hetao to establish the Dragon Territory was an adventure with one's head tied to the waistband. If he was not careful, he would be wiped out in ashes. Although Zhai Jiong had been troubled by worries and fears for a long time, he did not regret it. Instead, he felt a little proud of guarding the border for the country. And now, even

Zhai Jiong also had to admit that the external environment of Beppu and the enclave was much more rough than that of Longling.

Beppu and the enclave, these two new strongholds are facing similar external threats, that is, aliens. The Dragon Territory has taken root in the Hetao. Although it also faces serious threats from the Qiang and Hu, the Hetao was once Han territory after all.

, the Han Dynasty had actual control and effective jurisdiction for hundreds of years, and it was also close to the Central Plains. When a foreign enemy invaded, it might even receive support from the nearby Han border troops, so the security situation was not too bad.

The two new strongholds are completely on foreign lands. They are typical gains from conquest. They are surrounded by hostile foreign races. They have no ethnic blood, no cultural identity, no historical heritage, and no power to rely on. Looking around, everything in sight is

If you don’t have any friends everywhere, how easy is it to get a firm foothold?

With Yin Jian in front of him, Zhai Jiong can no longer be complacent because he is in a dangerous situation.

Zhulu City’s surplus alone cannot provide enough blood for the overall development of the territory, and fresh blood must be injected. At this stage, the only ones that can help the main city share some of the responsibilities are two special territories, and in Zhai Jiong’s view,

The chance of the dragon leader stepping up to shoulder the burden is much greater than that of the flying fish leader.

Dragon Leader was founded later than Feiyu Leader, but it has many advantages that Feiyu Leader does not have.

For example, Longlingfa has no problem of lack of land; the only city-level subsidiary territory in the territory is in Hetao; the Shangjun Prefecture is far more friendly to Zhululing than Jizhou Prefecture; it directly faces the vast Qianghu market...

All these are not available in Feiyu collar.

Comparing the two special territories, although the external threats faced by the Dragon Territory are much greater, the development potential is definitely higher than that of the Feiyu Territory. The Feiyu Territory does not have the necessary conditions for external expansion and can be maintained, providing the territory with the ability to project influence.

Convenience is all. No one expects Feiyu Ling to do more. Long Ling does not have the restrictions of Feiyu Ling at all. What reason is there to be self-sufficient and contented?

After Xun Yan returned to Zhulu City, Ni Yi was actually in charge of Feiyu Leader, and Fei Boren was responsible for external relations.

Ni Yi is an ordinary official who has been transferred to another position. The only bright spot is probably that he comes from Zhulu Ling. He has a good foundation and Miaohong. In terms of ability, compared with the principals in charge of several other strongholds, there is a huge gap between Ni Yi and the people in charge of other strongholds. Zhai Jiong, on the other hand, is

A genuine disciple of Lumen Mountain, the Dragon Leader has so many more favorable conditions than the Feiyu Leader, how can he have the same requirements for himself as the Feiyu Leader?

On the other hand, Yi Feng has done a great job in Zhulu City. His work attitude and performance are impeccable. He not only ensures the long-term and stable development of the main city area, but also continues to provide resources to his brothers' strongholds. The territory can have the current climate. Yi Feng

The wind is a well-deserved hero, this has become the consensus of all.

They were all students from Lumen Mountain, and Zhai Jiong was sincerely happy for Yi Feng's achievements.

But from another perspective, as fellow seniors who are far better than Yi Feng in their studies, and each is responsible for a certain area of ​​the territory, the nature of the work is exactly the same, so there is naturally a performance competition relationship. This will not change because of the personal relationship between the two.

The higher the Fengcheng, the dimming the light of other deputy city lords including Zhai Jiong becomes, which is difficult for Zhai Jiong to accept calmly.

Everyone wants to be recognized and wants to show their value as much as possible, and Zhai Jiong does the same.

Yi Feng's qualifications were far inferior to those of Zhai Jiong, otherwise he would not have been able to become Master Pang's disciple. He could only barely obtain the status of disciple. In the end, he did not even keep his disciple status and was politely persuaded to quit in the name of going down the mountain to study.

When Yi Feng came down the mountain, Zhai Jiu felt sorry and sympathized with him from the bottom of his heart.

As the saying goes, things are turning. The abandoned disciple who was exiled in disguise in the past has achieved results that impressed everyone in Zhulu Territory. However, Zhai Ji, who was trained by Yi Feng as his master at that time, lags far behind Yi Feng in his contribution and performance to the territory.

Even though the fundamentals they mastered were vastly different, and the resources of the main city were much superior to those of the Dragon Territory, it was difficult for Zhai Jiong to accept the status quo with peace of mind.
