Chapter 1,277 The Hope of the Territory and the Beginning of Migration
Population not only brings development pressure.
It will also bring hope for the future.
The birth of a newborn means that the development of the territory has entered a new and vibrant stage.
If I use an inappropriate but easy-to-understand term to describe it.
The original territory was "dead".
The citizens are in a state of confusion, and their humanity and creativity have been suppressed.
It lacks the vitality and vitality it deserves.
Suppressing humanity is mainly for the lord system to maintain stability.
You must know that the most prominent thing in human nature is the pursuit of desire.
Not all lords have the ability to control the desires of their subjects in the early stages of arrival.
That's why after the defensive challenge.
The focus of the update lies in the comprehensive liberation of the people.
This includes the release of humanity.
Territory citizens with humanity are living people, not a string of cold attribute data in the eyes of the lord.
It can be said that the liberation of humanity is the first transformation of territory.
The birth of new life is obviously the second transformation!
Regardless, this is indeed news worth being happy about.
This means that the territory has a future.
There is no need for external plunder, and the reproduction of the population can be self-consistent.
It's like going from a pool of stagnant water to living water.
This good news made everyone excited.
To celebrate Zong Shen's return.
A dinner party was simply held.
Of course, those present were still the confidants.
The Lord's Fortress has become a sea of joy, filled with laughter both inside and outside.
Be affected by this good news.
All citizens in the territory can get extra quota for dinner.
For a territory that is now absorbing a massive population, this will undoubtedly increase food expenditures.
But it is very necessary.
This can deepen the impression of the lord on the people.
As the population continues to rise, many of the residents have never even seen Zong Shen himself.
They were absorbed into the territory through the leadership of heroic talents.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to expand the people's impression of the lord through any channel.
Based on Mariel’s control experience.
Doing this can often increase a group of loyalties on a large scale.
Although the average increase is only 1 or 2 points, it cannot sustain the large volume and sufficient management.
Rely on the accumulation of time and effort in every detail.
The average loyalty of the people in the entire territory can reach more than 82 points.
Don't underestimate this data.
Against the backdrop of a crazy surge in the number of territorial residents.
The number of newly joined citizens has already been nearly a hundred times that of the original old citizens.
Under such a premise, the average loyalty level can be raised to 82 points, which is already considered very remarkable.
Of course, the price for this loyalty is extra food consumption.
If you look at it from the perspective of playing games.
That's exchanging food expenditures for loyalty increases.
Fortunately, the territory has developed several stable food purchasing channels.
All giant cities within 30,000 kilometers of the surrounding area have dedicated logistics heroes, carrying space storage jewelry and trekking there on griffins or manticores.
For giant cities that are far away, it takes more than a week to get there and back.
To this end, Mariel and Howie specially dispatched more than a hundred logistics heroes to be responsible for food procurement.
By taking turns and making uninterrupted purchases back and forth.
The current food reserves in the territory are enough to feed 10 million people for two weeks.
The amount of this food seems huge, but if the entire population of the giant city of Lentax is transferred here.
That's a bit unsatisfactory.
Therefore, during this period of time, Zong Shen still had to transfer the grain seized from the giant city of Lentax to the territory.
In this way, even if the population increases by 30 to 40 million, we can ensure that there will be no food supply crisis in the next two to three months.
As for the agricultural areas within the territory, they are currently in a rather awkward position.
The agricultural and animal husbandry team led by the senior agronomy expert Druid Salome Linyu has exceeded thousands of people and has cultivated tens of thousands of acres of farmland.
However, this rate of reclamation is still far less than the rate of population increase in the territory.
In proportion, the gap between the two sides is thousands of times.
However, considering Zong Shen’s emphasis on agricultural and pastoral areas.
Howie and Marill still retain room for expansion in the agricultural area.
No residential buildings are allowed to encroach on those farmlands.
As long as there is sufficient time and manpower, Salome Linyu can continue to open up wasteland.
But in the face of such an exaggerated population growth rate.
Salome must change the strategy of land reclamation in time.
They reported all these matters to Zong Shen.
Mariel never forgets to slowly increase the loyalty of her subjects as she wins over people's hearts.
Zong Shen affirmed.
Today, Mariel and Howie have become his right-hand men in terms of logistics and internal affairs.
They saved Zong Shen a lot of trouble.
Leading the territory to maintain rapid development.
It can be said that he is a real hero.
In terms of merit alone, it is even higher than that of "military generals" such as Heizi and Colby.
In any case, the current changes in the territory and a series of strategies make Zong very satisfied.
On this trip, not only did the territory not fall into shackles.
On the contrary, it became more and more prosperous.
This proves that these close men of his have the ability to stand on their own!
Under such circumstances, Zong Shen could let go and hand over the territory to them for management.
He himself broke away from the shackles of territory management and freely explored this vast and mysterious continent.
Get as much resources as possible to become the supreme lord.
The territory is now rich in resources.
As long as you give an order, the chefs with intermediate and advanced chef professional skills will get busy.
Rare ingredients from all over the surrounding areas, as well as those purchased remotely from the [market], will go into the kitchen.
[Market] There are many lords selling special ingredients and seasonings from various places.
If there are stable channels, this is also a good business.
The endless continent has a wide variety of food ingredients.
All kinds of monsters and wild beasts may be put on the dining table as long as they taste good or are beneficial after being eaten.
The [Market] broke the geographical isolation between lords to a certain extent.
This also made Zong Shen's territory's food library extremely abundant.
His food storage is still the same ice cellars.
It is not linked to the food inventory of the territory, but contains various precious Warcraft ingredients.
There are also delicious seafood from the eastern part of the mainland.
By freezing the elements, their original flavor can be preserved to the greatest extent.
The meal was quickly served on the table.
Zong Shen was in a good mood and had a good appetite.
During these days of going out, he ate a lot of specialties from the giant city of Lentax.
But it’s not considered a serious meal.
Now that he has returned home, he has become particularly hungry.
It's a completely different feeling.
And the territory is home to him.
In comparison, our home on Earth has become a distant memory.
It is rooted in Zong Shen's mind, reminding him that the past is gone.
Live the present and cherish the present.
…
Just when the banquet was held in the lord's fortress.
The large teleportation channel dozens of kilometers away from the territorial city also started to become busy.
Mariel had already sent someone there to guide him.
A transfer station was also built to temporarily accommodate supplies.
There are several rows of fifth-story houses nearby.
These houses were used as a temporary residence for the Lentax immigrants.
During large-scale migration, it is inevitable that some people will become unwell.
There is a foothold, and Holy Light Priests are stationed in it, and low-level healing potions are prepared.
Think of it as a medical station.
This can reduce population losses during migration to a certain extent.
In less than half an hour after the channel was reopened.
The secondary transfer of population began.
Mai Raven kept Zong Shen’s instructions in mind.
This transfer was not as hasty as before.
The transfer is carried out at a frequency of 80,000 to 100,000 people per hour.
This makes both pick-up and transfer very easy.
The first thing that immigrants from the giant city of Lentax did when they arrived in the territory was to take off their cotton-padded jackets.
The large magical shield in Jackdaw's Hollow can only protect against the extreme cold.
However, Jackdaw Valley is originally frozen soil.
After the cold temperatures are isolated by the shield, the land inside is still in a cold state of frozen snow.
Immigrants in the giant city of Lentax must wear cotton-padded clothes.
These immigrants will then be transported by the magical energy vehicles that have been prepared.
Car after car, they pulled through the resettlement areas that had been modified in advance.
There are dedicated hero-level talents in the residential area who are responsible for assigning rooms and managing order.
Priority will be given to existing families or relatives to be grouped together.
Those who live alone will be allocated by lottery according to gender.
Men belong to men, women belong to women.
In order to facilitate statistics and management, we have to do this temporarily.
Although the territory encourages its citizens to get married and have children.
However, this policy could not be implemented immediately for immigrants from the giant city of Lentax.
Because this will only cause confusion.
The source of the population of the giant city of Lentax is complex.
Now they have all been scattered.
The original class was completely destroyed.
The street rat may live with a former wealthy businessman.
Therefore, mixed housing only increases the risk of chaos.
While being assigned to move in, these immigrants will be assigned here and hero-level talents will be brought under their control.
From then on, they truly joined the territory.
In order to ensure that there will be no glitches in this process.
The territory mobilized at least more than 150,000 troops and concentrated them near the settlement area.
And Mariel has already considered this.
The resettlement areas are roughly scattered in three directions of the territory and are not tightly clustered together.
This can also greatly reduce the chaos that may occur due to gatherings.
On the other hand, the 79,238 hero-level talents initially selected from the giant city of Lentax have also been given priority by Zong Shen.
They will serve as preliminary control nodes.
It is worth mentioning that these are only part of the heroic talents in the giant city of Lentax.
In addition to the garrison, there is also the part under Penny Lancaster's command.
There are also more than 20,000 heroic talents, because their status in the city is relatively sensitive.
So it is in the observation period.
If you want to digest such a large population smoothly, no matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious.
These strategies were prepared five days ago.
At that time, Zong Shen had just killed the Raven Divine Will and had the advantage to seize the giant city.
He does not have the ability to predict the future, but he has the habit of preparing for a rainy day.
So he used the [Communication Crystal] to notify Mariel that day.
Let her prepare relevant settlement work in advance.
As for the expansion of residential areas, it started even earlier.
Construction basically started a week ago.
The current territorial housing estates could accommodate an additional population of approximately 15 million people.
According to the migration rate of about 2 million per day.
And the newly added population can also be converted into construction labor.
The premise is that the reserves of resources are sufficient.
In this case, it is important to arrive before the Lentax immigrants completely arrive in the territory.
The construction of several major residential areas was completed in time.
The difficulty lies in the issue of resources.
The giant city of Lentax has lumberyards, stone quarries and ore reserves.
There is probably enough territory to build residential buildings that can accommodate 10 million people.
The remaining resource gaps will have to be solved within the next few days.
There are still ways to obtain resources through trade and various privileges.
The simplest way is to use dinars in the [Market] to exchange basic resources with the lord.
You must know that dinars and resources are both hard currencies.
For other lords, most finished materials can be purchased from the indigenous people using dinars.
Therefore, the purchasing power of the dinar in the lord's transactions is still very strong.
Currently, Zong Shen's territory lacks basic resources, but it does not lack dinars.
The proceeds from the treasury and treasury of the giant city of Lentax gave him tens of billions of dinars.
After he collected the dinars from the treasure house, Penny Lancaster returned him more than ten billion.
Now Zong Shen doesn't have much else, but he has the most money.
Most of the wealth in a huge city came into his hands.
The level of wealth can be imagined.
In addition, there is no shortage of standard equipment.
Various weapons and equipment were found from the giant city, including the inventory equipment of the garrison, the original reserves of the territory, and the ancient standard equipment recently found in the ruins.
It’s almost enough for Zong Shen to arm a team of 1.2 million people!
At the same time, the territory's blacksmith shop and foundry have also improved rapidly.
Currently, the blacksmith workshop matrix consisting of 72 level 4 blacksmith shops, 19 level 5 blacksmith shops and six level 6 blacksmith shops can complete the stable forging of 15,000 pieces of equipment below level 3 and 2,000 pieces of level 4 equipment every day.
, the fifth-level equipment ranges from 10 to 25 pieces.
The reason why fifth-level equipment is limited is because the number of blacksmiths with senior professional titles in the territory is limited.
If this shortcoming can be eliminated, it will not be difficult to mass-produce level 5 equipment.
As for the current blacksmith shop matrix, it all relies on the superposition and collection of blueprints.
These are all things Zong Shen warned before leaving.
For a territory with a population of tens of millions, the permanent army must be at least 1 million.
Most of the giant aboriginal cities will have a garrison of 500,000 to 3 million people, depending on the population.
This is to ensure that the giant city can be defended.
A huge territory requires a lot of soldiers to ensure that there are soldiers in every defensive position.
Zong Shen's current total military strength has exceeded 1 million.
But this ratio is still not enough for the lord.
It turns out that the ratio between his soldiers and his subjects was 1:1.
After all, the development models and strategies of the lords are completely different from those of the aborigines.
Therefore, we cannot copy the Aboriginal model in this regard.
Under such circumstances, Zong Shen plans to continue to expand his army, at least to 2 million!
