After the simultaneous construction of two important coastal military buildings, the naval barracks and the military port, in the southwest of Minggang Village, the 1,000 gold that Qu Mao just borrowed from Su Yan was consumed by 850 more, including the rest and the recent sales of life essence.

of gold coins, there are more than 200 gold coins left in Yicun’s account.

There are still nearly three months before the second trip to Yancheng. If I can't save enough gold coins by then, I'm afraid my trip to Yancheng will have to be postponed.

In the evening, Qu Mao summoned Zhao Pan, Kong Ming, Wang Ping, Su Yan, Sunan, Jia Sixie, Franklin Jin, Su Buqing, Zhang Da, Chai Fidel, Mafi Trani and others back to the lord's cabin to discuss going to sea to explore the south of Yi Island.

New island thing.

According to the consistent tradition of the Yicun territory, this kind of meeting is basically to discuss plans while eating. Su Qiaoer, Ping'er and Xiang'er, had already prepared dinner.

According to Qu Mao's request, all the core personnel in the Yicun territory returned to the lord's cabin restaurant in Yicun for dinner. While everyone was eating, Qu Mao briefly informed everyone about the construction progress of the naval barracks and military port.

It also shows that thanks to Su Yan arranging enough local residents to fully exploit resources and starting the construction of these two buildings, Yi Village did not have a resource crisis. Except for the storage capacity of rune stones of various series dropped to more than 800 units, the number of other resources

The storage capacity is still around 70,000 units.

This means that when exploring new islands, the temporary base can build some buildings that do not take a particularly long time. Especially when searching for other islands, there is a high probability that no big projects will be built. At most, civilian docks may consume more resources.

and take longer.

Wang Ping, as a veteran hero of Yicun, although his qualifications are only at the Excellent level, after listening to Qu Mao's announcement, he said: "Sir, our Yicun territory already has three small villages on Yi Island. My subordinates believe that we should not be blind at this stage.

Expand the territory and build settlements for territorial residents.

For the small islands in the southeast, southwest and due south, my subordinates think it is enough to take some troops to search for resources..."

Su Yan said tit for tat: "Sir, my subordinate's view is exactly opposite to that of Master Wang Ping. Searching and collecting resources on other islands is one aspect, and establishing new stations is another aspect. Both aspects are equally important and should be synchronized.

carry out.

We can accommodate at most one million people on Yi Island, which means we have to find at least ten more small islands similar to Yi Island.

In this sea area, the territory of Yicun will eventually achieve a population of tens of millions, so that we can easily form an army of one million to protect ourselves in this world.

If we don't start developing new islands now, Yi Island's area and resources are limited. Millions of citizens can provide us with at most 100,000 troops. 100,000 troops means that we don't even have the ability to protect ourselves, and Yi Island

Without defense depth, how can we defend?

Wang Ping said: "Lord Interior Minister, I am not saying not to develop on other islands, but I am saying not to develop on other islands now..."

Zhao Pan took the lead and said: "Sir, my subordinates believe that troops should be stationed on several other islands to explore first, and then we can focus on resettling the residents for development, exploring new resource points, and building new military facilities in accordance with the suggestions of the Internal Affairs Officer Su Yan.

I am willing to lead troops to explore, please allow me."

Qu Mao was not in a hurry to answer Zhao Pan's words, but instead turned his attention to another epic hero, the fifth hero of the Yicun territory, the counselor-type hero Kong Ming.

Although the weather was not particularly hot, Kong Ming still slowly shook his goose feather fan and calmly said to Qu Mao: "Sir, I have a few words, I don't know if it's appropriate to say them..."

Qu Mao waved his hand and said: "Kong Ming, you don't have to worry about whether it's appropriate or not, just say it!

Yicun’s meeting style has always been to discuss matters as they arise, just say whatever you have to say without any worries!”

Kong Ming nodded, continued to shake the goose feather fan, and said: "As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows! Sir, we are not strong now, and the Yicun territory is also in the process of development.

In this context, if we find sufficient supplies and development space on the island we are about to explore, and the resources can be obtained nearby, my subordinates believe that the advantages of establishing a temporary military control station outweigh the disadvantages.

The first one can develop on its own, and the amount varies depending on the strength; the second one can appropriately supplement the development costs of Yi Island, and the small mosquito legs are meat; the third one can expand the territory and settle more territorial residents.

It's just that Yicun is currently isolated overseas and lacks ways to obtain large amounts of population resources.

If we occupy new islands for development and want to develop simultaneously with Yi Dao, it will inevitably dilute the speed and efficiency of Yi Dao's development."

Qu Mao nodded, expressing his approval of Kong Ming's words.

The five heroes, the three village chiefs and the actual military commanders fully carried forward the democratic style of the Yi Island core personnel meeting and expressed their own opinions one after another. There were even fierce quarrels and arguments between those with different opinions.

Qu Mao had no choice but to wave his hand to stop everyone's speech, and concluded: "Everyone's words are very reasonable, so I believe that we must achieve at least three goals before going to sea.

The first goal is to search for the God-given treasure chests on other islands. I don’t need to emphasize the importance of the God-given treasure chests. Yi Island can develop to the point where it is today. Many necessary things are obtained from the God-given treasure chests.

The second goal is to conquer the folding spaces on other islands. A few days ago, we conquered seven folding spaces in one go and obtained a large amount of development materials. We have not finished counting them until now. I think everyone knows it. The folding space is our fast

Obtain development resources and convert military forces into the most effective means of developing strength.

The third goal is to build a temporary military control station. The current feedback is that those small islands do not have the conditions for sea ships to land, so we must take some of the territorial residents and build at least a civilian dock on each small island to facilitate our berthing.

sea ​​ship.

Our sea vessels are only 20 meters long and 6 meters wide. If such small trading ships cannot even land, let alone be able to berth our warships in the future.

I think these three goals are the three most basic goals for short-term exploration of new islands. Before going to sea, we must define these three goals as tasks that we must complete.

Under the premise that these three tasks are clear, everyone can properly discuss the plan to go to sea. I will go there in person this time, and the heroes who are going with me are going to bring Zhao Pan and Kong Ming, the accompanying troops and other candidates. We will discuss the details later."

After Qu Mao concluded, everyone naturally did not put forward other ideas. After exchanging opinions with each other with their eyes, they immediately started a new round of democratic discussion on what kind of troops to bring and what kind of people to bring.
Chapter completed!
