On the way back, the sky cleared up, and the sun reflected on the snowy hillsides. The vast blue water in the distance was like amber. The river meandered through the dense forest to the east behind the carriage, and flowed into the port through the small town in front.
In this clear morning after the snow, the patrol car was coming down the winding mountain road. Hope Harbor City was reflected in the eyes of the girl behind the window curtains. She couldn't help but smile: "Zhenjun, we are here..."
The salty sea breeze blew the bells on the roof of the car ringing softly, the horses' hooves beat cheerfully, and the smiles on the faces of the riders in front and behind made people infected. Ye Qing seemed to feel the joy of returning home at this moment... If
No surprise, for the clone, this land will be their home for the next three hundred years.
"...The road is still not very good." Liniang commented without noticing her master's distraction. This is what winter is saying. When spring comes and the vegetation grows, there will be no such thing as a road.
Ye Qing glanced at the surrounding hills and nodded slightly. This was due to the terrain of Hope Port, or the terrain of the entire western colonial area was like this: "Although it is very suitable for a port, it is not suitable for a big city. In the future, our economic and political center will still have to be within
shift."
As Liniang listened, she could not help but think of another city dedicated to Banshan Island, and asked slowly: "Xiangquan City?"
"It's not enough. The hot springs in Xiangquan City are everywhere, and the spiritual energy is overwhelming. Traveling and practicing Taoist temples are good. I like this aspect, and it is probably related to spiritual practice, but the small basin terrain does not have enough cultivated area... Next time, we will go to the opposite side of the Tea Castle
Let's see"
Ye Qing said this and smiled slightly: "It's not that I dislike it, it's just that rational planning makes the best use of things and people do their best. Each has its own benefits. I still like this Fragrant Spring City built by your master."
Zhenjun is very good at talking. With these words, the spring breeze blew across his face and the air in the carriage soothed. Liniang smiled a little embarrassedly and wrote down these words secretly.
She decided in her heart that she would go back and inquire with her brothers on the winter defense frontline to see if there were any closer plains inland. She would always try her best to satisfy the True Lord whatever he wanted.
I put away my thoughts and looked carefully at the bottom of the hill. The city panorama looks roughly rectangular, and the flat land is indeed a bit narrow. Hope City was originally just a small town. Its economic lifeline functions were only the dock area and the shipyard, and the rest were auxiliary buildings. It has only been expanded now.
Since then, many villages around Hope Harbor have gathered a large number of people, all of whom have joined this busy construction site.
Other real people had never seen the prosperity of the interior of China, and they commented among themselves: "The place is actually not that small, but the real king has issued an order to relocate the population of the villages. It seems that there are 50,000 people here, so it seems cramped..."
"Although the city has only been built for a few decades, it is not much inferior to Nazhou Port on Nazhou Island."
"It's worse than Qingzhou City on the mainland, but it's a city with a long history, so it's not as good as..."
Listening to this discussion, Ye Qing smiled and said nothing, Liniang's cheeks were a little red, and she was a little embarrassed for her companion's idiotic remarks... showing off these things in front of the true king.
This year she had seen a truly spectacular city in Middle-earth. The population of one city was equivalent to the current territory of three counties. An industrial center like Nanlian Mountain was even more astonishing. It was unimaginable that it had risen in just three or four years, but Jin
The silver nest is not as good as the doghouse at home, but I am still very happy to see this prosperity, so I let my companions boast.
The convoy quickly passed the inspection and entered the city. The urban area is surrounded by green trees and there are a series of tall and rough log buildings. Most of them have been built. It can be seen that the warehouses were built as priority according to the instructions.
Because the vehicles were traveling simply and without any fanfare, not many people on the road noticed them. They all gathered at the last few construction sites and were busy building.
But how could the port officer and other stewards in charge of dispatching not recognize the person? When they heard the ringing of the bell, they looked back and saw the big car with green curtains, and immediately ran over: "I pay my respects to the lord!"
Only the top brass of the East China Sea Qing League knew about the clone's arrival in Dongzhou. In public, the port officer would still use his normal address. Ye Qing raised his hand to him: "Get up, how is the progress?"
"Replying to your lord, all the materials have been put into storage, and the expansion of the residential area is still in the process of being completed. The newly relocated villagers already have a place to live. Since they promised to provide resettlement after the relocation, they only received a few taels of money as a token fee, so they were distributed at a low price.
After getting the house, we are very motivated. It is expected that the manpower will be free at noon..." The port officer's surname is Yang Danchen. He is still a very shrewd and strong middle-aged man. Seeing that Ye Qing seems to be very concerned about the progress, he can't help but ask: "Do you have anything?
Any other instructions?"
"It's good that there is no free room allocation. In the future, the price can return to normal, but we must pay attention to the reasonable price of each floor so that residents can afford it with a few years of income." Ye Qing did not mean to say it in public and only commented.
After one sentence, he said: "Follow me first... By the way, how is the medal creation going?"
"My subordinates recruited blacksmiths from all over the city to make them for days. As of last night, they had produced more than 5,400 pieces..."
The group of people entered the governor's mansion, and were greeted by some stewards who were in charge of cultural affairs on the way. Ye Qing smiled in his heart. The thriving expansion always makes people excited and expectant, and the people's hearts further condensed.
You can tell by looking at the newly renovated mansion. I didn't tell you when I left. When I came back, it had white walls with red tiles and varnished carved beams. It was no longer the original old look. Even the few servants who cleaned the mansion were in positive spirits.
Many people knelt down to greet them when they saw them.
Arriving in the study room, Ye Qing ordered: "You just sit down first."
The rules of the colony were not strict, so the port officer and others sat down. Ye Qing was silent and thought attentively. Lord inspections would take a day or two to rest before discussing matters, but Ye Qing had already made up his mind and there was no need to postpone it any longer.
The catastrophe is becoming more and more fierce, and now it is just the eye before the storm. I cannot afford to neglect it. I pick up my pen and write on the paper.
All the stewards in the mansion looked at each other in confusion, knowing in their hearts that they secretly admired the new lord's vigorous and resolute actions, and were all waiting for the lord's second official order since he took office.
When Liniang brought tea in, Ye Qing had already filled a sheet with writing and handed it to her: "Pass it around and take a look."
"Is this... a hunting order?"
Liniang noticed the title on the header and was a little confused. She took it and looked at it carefully. It was a very clear list without any flourishing words from the mainland.
Each city has a new hunting station. Anyone with a Qi refining level above one level, regardless of whether they are Taoist soldiers or magicians, can report to the exchange office to register and receive a "Trainee Hunter" wooden sign.
After three months and completing certain tasks, you can receive an iron medal, obtain the most basic legal armed qualification, and be eligible for official resource exchange.
The exchange office releases tasks and accepts tasks throughout the day at twelve hours a day.
At present, only logging, collecting some ores, hunting wild beasts, wild beasts, monsters, and capturing savages or aliens... Ye Qing does not follow the game model like Xiao Bai, nor does he despise this model. Everything must be political.
Use it only if it is rationalized.
At this time, it is undoubtedly feasible and has great effect.
Liniang didn't understand this. She quickly glanced at a few simple tasks and found that each one was a resource exchange. The hunter turned in the resources to get the resources, and the exchange gave the corresponding rewards promised in the tasks...rewards?
She was keenly aware of the difference and couldn't help but raise her head and ask: "Is it a reward, not a reward?"
"Any questions?"
Ye Qing asked with a slight smile, knowing the reason for her doubts. Ever since the heavenly court mined void meteorites and established the heavenly power system, the Immortal level was more particular about remuneration. The valuable meteorites collected would be exchanged equally among the heavenly immortals. Even if it was a little more expensive, at least
The attitude is equality, but towards humanity it is basically the charity attitude of a pig farmer - just stay in the pen and live, don't cause trouble.
All the spiritual government systems and the human court have followed suit. There is a reciprocal exchange between different systems, and they all treat themselves as benefactors with rewards. This is the inertia of life and death within the organization. What is yours is mine, and I will give it to you again.
One point is a reward. This set is suitable under the stable internal conditions of Kyushu. Everyone is within it. This is a buyer's market.
But in the rapid colonization of Bahuang, it is a seller's market, and it does not arouse people's interest in risking their lives. It will not work... In the age of geographical discovery when Western civilization dominated the earth for hundreds of years, the establishment of a social trust system was not only
The need for capital is also the source of the craze for rapid development. Before the great voyage, you must know that all the mountains, wild animals, birds and even virgin resources in the old European fiefdoms were owned by the lords. Anyone who hunted or married privately had to have their hands chopped off.
Or they may be driven into the wilderness to wait for death, which is extremely harsh.
The rule of Kyushu is actually harsh. This feeling is not obvious in Bahuang. During the patrol of the territory, Ye Qing has already observed that the customs are very different. People have spontaneously developed a social system that focuses on incentives, but it has not been formally summarized in a document. In this clause, he
To make it clear, it is not about kindness and enlightenment, but the reality that everything is power... As for the difference, it is probably because there is intentional hope in the later clauses.
Ye Qing gathered his thoughts and said: "This is the reward we promised to the hunters through the covenant. Liniang, you can think of it as points similar to heavenly skills. It is not just money, but also food, elixirs, and formations of equal value."
, spiritual objects, and exercises that are not within the scope of Tao prohibitions."
Liniang tilted her head, not wanting to understand, but she was used to the current exchange situation that had become popular in the land of Dongzhou, so she didn't bother with the details: "The letter... is just in line with the tradition of this lineage. It's nice to have some characteristics."
Even if this difference has been exposed, let’s look further down. The last point about the hunting station is to establish a point level to evaluate hunters. Comprehensive evaluation is based on the amount of resources harvested, the hunter’s own strength, and the number of years in the industry. A total of iron and copper are divided into
, silver and gold level four.
The reason why level four is not adopted instead of nine is that it is simple and clear and more suitable for reclamation - level four is more than enough.
"Hunter... points level?" Liniang was confused. She read it slowly and was a little frightened: "It really feels like the heavenly skill system that my uncle said."
"It can be said to be the mortal version, but who before me thought of extending this treatment to the mortal world?"
Ye Qing smiled even more. In fact, this last point is what he is proud of... because he has given people hope, which is the way to make progress and retire.
This kind of hope or the most attractive thing in development is that it is actually difficult to upgrade the hunting level. Points at each level are mainly achieved by the amount of resources, and the number of years in the industry is only an initial support.
But even with the Iron Medal, hunters take it seriously. When they get older, they can retire honorably and enjoy many preferential social pension benefits. This may be the most important thing for ordinary people. Ye Qing intends to make it the most common impression people have on hunters.
The Bronze Medal is worth it. After retirement, Ye Qing is still planning to arrange staff positions.
But the Silver and Gold Medals can only be obtained with massive resources, and it all depends on strength - either strong cultivation or strong team organization.
In order to maintain people's motivation to explore and discover new worlds, holders of the Gold Medal have the right to build a new village and be awarded a title for three years - this is to enable people to be promoted to the nobility.
Of course, the titles conferred by the Han Marquis Mansion are not recognized by the court. Just like the ancestor Jinghou of Jingzhuang, the suzerain state of Southern Chu, the gold content is very low, and it is allowed to go beyond the rules expediently in the development.
Only Gold Medals are eligible to receive territorial tasks, regardless of gender. Every Gold Medal holder is not only powerful in his or her own right, but will also attract many low-level hunters to follow his or her footsteps, forming a powerful and dynamic pioneering group.
Liniang's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. This kind of treatment even moved her. Hereditary territory is the foundation of the family.
When the port officer and stewards passed it around, they didn't realize how far-reaching it was, and they were just discussing the impact this policy would have.
Liniang was left alone with deep thoughts. She finally pointed to a line and asked in a low voice: "The gold medal hunter must be a real person or above before it can be awarded... This is easy to understand, but there is also a level written above, which seems not to be explained clearly.
Qualifications?”
Ye Qing did not say it directly in public, but only said to her: "Only the Yang God Master is qualified to grant this, and the Immortal must cooperate... This is a long way to go, so let's prepare for a rainy day."
Liniang was stunned, and then she remembered that this true king had several immortals under his command, and it was said that there were quite a few Yangshen... Where could the place that needs immortals as the core to develop?
Dongzhou... I'm afraid it's not open enough... Are there other wild areas in this region?
