Chapter 172 Debt repayment and development
Now the second trip to Yancheng that Yicun Territory has been looking forward to for four months has ended, and they have made two trips to and from Yancheng within two weeks.
On the one hand, the total number of citizens in the Yicun territory exceeded 5,000, and on the other hand, the total of the two times brought back more than 38,000 gold coins. This is the number after deducting the gold coins consumed in Yancheng purchases. Qu Mao estimated that Su
At least 2,000 gold coins can be returned to the Yicun Territory account in the south.
Of course, as a dead house in another world, on the ship, after Qu Mao transferred 20,000 gold coins to the Yicun Territory account, he applied for a transaction with Su Yan and traded 150,000 gold coins to Su Yan.
Then Qu Mao took a look at the more than 3,000 gold coins left in his backpack, and said to Su Yan with a smile: "Su Yan, I will pay you back 150,000 gold coins with interest. Our money and debt will be cleared.
I will never break my promise to you."
Su Yan was not polite to Qu Mao and put 15,000 gold coins into her backpack.
Qu Mao knew that Su Yan had special props. After these 15,000 gold coins entered Su Yan's backpack, they could provide Su Yan with at least 1-2 gold coins in interest income every day.
Therefore, as the internal affairs officer of the Yicun territory, giving Su Yan 1 gold coin a year seems completely ridiculous now.
In addition to the supplies brought back by Qu Mao himself and the supplies brought back by Su Qiaoer, there were a total of 6,000 bags of grain, totaling 12 million units of grain.
These are all taken from the hidden material storage point set up by Sunan in Yancheng. They do not cost the gold coins of the Yicun territory. Even if the number of territorial residents increases to more than 5,000, it can ensure that there will not be any food crisis in 2-3 years.
.
In addition, after returning for the first time, Qu Mao added a total of 600 citizens to Kongdao and Yidao in two batches. This does not include the 81 people in the boatman's family. Kongdao and outlying islands will continue to develop food cultivation.
In other words, from now on, the Yicun territory can completely bid farewell to the historical stage of using animal meat as its staple food.
In fact, a few weeks before going to Yancheng, when Qu Mao returned from the outlying islands, the second season planting on Kongdao and outlying islands was almost harvested, and now the third season planting is almost done. Even if more than 600 additional citizens are added, the outlying islands will not be harvested.
The food output of Hekong Island is definitely sufficient, but at most it is unable to support Yi Island.
As for the equipment and weapons retrieved from the three secret material storage points in southern Jiangsu, they will naturally continue to be placed in the Yicun military camp for backup.
Currently, there are only three second-level military camps in Yicun territory in Yicun. The weapons and equipment prepared by Sunan mainly focus on the navy and third-level princess guards, which are not used yet.
Qu Mao's current headache is where to get the third-level military camp construction drawings and the fourth-level military camp construction drawings.
Of course, the current territory level of Yicun territory is still Level 1 and Level 0, and the lord's cabin is Level 1 and Level 9. Although you cannot build it immediately after getting the third-level military camp construction drawings, it is better than nothing.
What's more, Qu Mao's backpack also contains a blueprint of the second-level market obtained by opening the treasure box early, which cannot be used for the time being. If the second-level market is built well, the existing two first-level markets can also be upgraded to second-level markets.
At least the trading range can be increased by 500 kilometers.
Another problem that follows is that the Yicun territory is facing a shortage of resources.
Before heading to Yancheng, the number of residents in the Yicun territory was severely insufficient, and all the resource mines were not producing at full efficiency. Even the resource mines on Kongdao were shutting down at every turn.
Also because there are no high-level magicians, the storage capacity of blank rune stones in Yicun territory is particularly large, but the rune stones of each series can only rely on Su Yan's Harvest Horn equipped to obtain single-digit units every day.
This is also the reason why Yicun Territory takes out so many blank rune stones for sale in Yancheng. According to Harvest Horn's rate of saving five units per day, the development of Yicun Territory does not know how slow it will be.
In order to resettle the territorial residents who returned from purchases in Yancheng, Su Yan built 50 zero-level territorial residences in Fisherman Village, Minggang Village and Yi Village. However, Qu Mao believes that the three small villages in Yi Island and even the outlying island villages and empty islands are currently
Counting other villages, it is not enough to accommodate the residents who returned from Yancheng this time.
600 citizens were sent to outlying and empty islands, including 15 boatworker families with a total of 81 people. Qu Mao was also turned into a free citizen and handed over to Kong Ming.
Obviously Kong Ming is not planning to resettle these 81 people in Li Village, but the boatman families will definitely have to build first-level residential houses, or even second-level wooden buildings, depending on where Kong Ming finally chooses to resettle these 15 boatman families.
There are still 71 families with a total of 380 skilled workers on Yi Island that need to be resettled. Qu Mao also has no intention of arranging them in Minggang Village, Yicun or Fisherman Village. Instead, he asked Su Yan to work for these 71 families as soon as possible.
, Qu Mao wants to build another village at the entrance and exit of the underground passage Yidao, and place these 71 households with a total of 380 people there.
The entrance and exit of the underground passage on Yi Island is only three kilometers away from the military port and only five kilometers away from the naval barracks. If a village is built there, on the one hand, the entrance and exit of the underground passage can be hidden, and on the other hand, the citizens who travel to and from the underground passage can have a place to stay.
.
But it is definitely not something to consider now. Mafi Terrani and his partners have already moved here. Fortunately, they have already settled in before. Mafi Trani and his partners will handle the relocation and resettlement matters themselves.
Only Mafi Trani, because he was Su Yan's assistant, did not follow his friends to buy a homestead in the small village of Minggang in the early days.
Fortunately, Ma Fei Trani is also simple. He only has one sister, Sophie Trani. After checking the attribute panel of Sophie Trani after swearing allegiance, Qu Mao found that Sophie Trani was actually an epic character.
Although his qualifications are two levels lower than those of Mafi Terrani, they are extremely rare and high qualifications among the aborigines.
Qu Mao also hired Mafei Trani and Sophie Trani as librarians of the Level 0 Library in Yicun, and Mafei Trani directly applied to settle down in Yicun.
There are now more than 600 books in the Yicun Level 0 Library, just waiting for Mafi Trani to grow into a hero through reading books.
Before going to Yancheng, Qu Mao had arranged for Sophie to convert the subjects into free citizens, but the control value of the Yicun territory was still a little beyond the means. The number of subjects in the Yicun territory soon reached the control value of the Yicun territory again.
ceiling.
But this time Qu Mao was not anxious because of this matter. Take your time. Su Yan completed all the ideological work for 380 people in 71 households. Once these 71 households are all converted into free citizens, the control value of Yicun territory will be
There will be 380 more people immediately.
Of course, after they all become freedmen, a brand new village will be built near the entrance and exit of Yi Village through the underground passage.
