The mercenary union was officially established, and a medium-sized shipyard was also completed.
Twelve player apprentices from the Liangshan Martial Arts School have become the first batch of registered mercenaries of the Chang'an Mercenary Union. In addition to studying in the Martial Arts School, they can also form a team to go on adventures in the Deciduous Forest, Zhaoxia Mountain and other places.
Another advantage of registering as a mercenary is that you can take on mercenary tasks issued by the system.
In order to obtain rewards such as experience points.
"Chang'an Town has met all the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade?"
"upgrade!"
"Chang'an Town is upgraded to a second-level township, with +150 merit points, +1,000 refugees, +400 gold coins, +20,000 catties of grain, and +6,000 territory experience points."
This is a regular reward.
"Chang'an Town is the first territory in the world to be promoted to a second-level township. All basic rewards are doubled, and an additional naval training camp is awarded!"
"Your lord profession has been upgraded to level 13!"
【Territorial area】:985/100 square kilometers
【Territorial population】:67300/5000
[Territorial Funds]: 7800 gold coins
[Buildings required]: Pharmacy, farmer’s market, bank
[Pharmacy: sells medicines, construction conditions: 10 gold coins, construction time: two days]
[Farmers Market: Sells all kinds of agricultural products, construction conditions: 20 gold coins, construction time: three days]
[Bank: Provides money deposit and withdrawal services, construction conditions: 15 gold coins, construction time: three days]
“Farmer’s market, bank…”
After closing the territory panel, Tang Jing realized that it was time for Changan to take the first step towards privatization.
You can't just eat from the big pot all the time.
"What step does the privatization you are referring to take? Is it a one-step process or a step-by-step process?"
Mr. Wu asked for instructions.
"Adapt measures to local conditions and proceed step by step."
Tang Jing had his own calculations: "The villages, houses, farm tools, grain rations and other means of production are all privately owned by each farmer. Farmland and other production factors are also allocated to each household under a production contract, and taxes can be paid on time and in quantity."
"For urban residents, we can consider implementing a housing allocation + salary system."
"Housing, education, medical care, etc., are still mainly provided by the lord's mansion as public services. The remaining food and clothing expenses are borne by wages. At the same time, a minimum security standard is established to ensure that everyone has enough food and clothing."
Wage standards and the pricing of various commodities in the territory are closely intertwined.
After all, it uses a global unified currency.
And even with Chang'an's wealth, at this stage, the most it can do is ensure that its people do not suffer from cold or hunger.
"Understood!"
Mr. Wu has already understood the core essence.
This is a systematic project. In addition to the close cooperation between the Finance Department, the Commerce Department and the supply and marketing cooperatives, the Construction Department, the Agriculture Department, and the Military Administration also need to be involved.
It requires the cooperation of all departments.
The good news is that Tang Jing’s hero post received a positive response from Dragon King players, and tens of thousands of resumes were received in just one day.
He is conducting a screening of these resumes with the assistance of the Labor Department.
I believe it will be soon.
The vacant chief officers of each department will be put in place one after another to participate in the privatization of the territory.
It can be considered a small test.
When the privatization of the territory is completed, it basically means that the time for promotion has arrived.
"The dock has been completed and must be put into production as soon as possible. First, build a batch of small wooden boats for backup." Tang Jing instructed.
A stone arch bridge has been erected on the Gray Water River to ensure that Chang'an's tentacles can smoothly extend to the west bank of the Gray Water River. However, to cross the Mero River, we can only rely on small wooden boats for the time being.
The Melo Pier near the dock will be completed in three days and can be used for ships to berth.
"Don't worry, sir, the Department of Labor is already selecting boatmen."
Mr. Wu is as reassuring as always and everything has been planned and considered.
It saved Tang Jing a lot of effort.
Not only shipyards, but also glass factories, breweries, paper mills, etc. that are under construction. With the replacement of factory directors, chief engineers and other talents in place, worker training is also underway.
It is ensured that after the factory is completed, it can enter the trial operation stage.
………
After discussing the recent priorities of the territory with Mr. Wu, Tang Jing was about to go to the navy training camp to check the system rewards. His own soldiers came to report that the envoy from the orc tribe was here.
"Is it finally here?"
Tang Jing was overjoyed, he had been waiting for the 150,000 ransom.
The territory's funds are almost at the bottom.
The envoy to Chang'an was the goat strategist of the orc tribe. In addition to being responsible for bringing back Lilith and the Behemoth cubs, he also wanted to find out the details of Chang'an.
Collect first-hand intelligence for the subsequent attack on Chang'an.
However, Tang Jing had been on guard against the orcs for a long time and did not let the orc envoys into the city at all. Outside the city, he completed the handover of Lilith and Behemoth.
This made the Goat Military Advisor extremely depressed.
On the way back, the unwilling military advisor asked Lilith about the situation in Chang'an.
"Chang'an is very strong!"
This is Lilith's most intuitive feeling.
"How strong can it be? If the tribe takes action, what is the chance of winning?" Goat Strategist went straight to the point.
"The tribe wants to attack Chang'an?"
Lilith was shocked, "Why?"
"Why?"
The goat strategist glanced at Lilith strangely, "As far as I know, Chang'an defeated the orc army many times and killed countless of my orc compatriots. Isn't it natural for the tribe to take action?"
"..."
Lilith fell silent.
She is also an orc, and from an orc's point of view, there is really no reason for the tribe to coexist harmoniously with Chang'an.
Orcs themselves are very aggressive.
"But Chang'an is really strong, and it's across the Mero River, so it's hard to attack, right?" Subconsciously, Lilith still didn't want the tribe to conflict with Chang'an.
Previously, I was looking forward to starting trade relations.
"You are wrong."
Goat Military Advisor's eyes were full of meaning, "The stronger Chang'an is, the more the tribe will take action."
"..."
Lilith was completely silent, understanding the implication of the goat strategist's words.
Orcs.
It will never be easy for a human race to challenge its hegemony in the region.
The two sides are destined to be unable to coexist.
"After I return, I will make a detailed report on what I know about the situation in Chang'an." Lilith said.
"clever!"
The goat strategist was very pleased that the boy could be taught.
What he didn't know was that the conversation between the two was heard by all the Behemoth cubs, and was transmitted to the owner Tang Jing in real time through the telepathy of the contract.
………
"The orcs really have bad intentions."
At this time, Tang Jing had already arrived at the naval training camp located on the seaside. Through the little black man named Behemoth, he gained real-time insight into the orcs' plot.
Next we will see how big a storm the orcs can stir up.
Quite looking forward to it.
The naval training camp can convert farmers into sailors or sailors, and the conversion fee is 1 gold coin.
Even if it is a warship in the cold weapon era, there are many positions on the ship. In addition to the captain, first mate, boatswain, etc., the most numerous ones are sailors.
It is a relatively professional position.
The main job of the sailor is to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the ship, sanitation and cleaning, navigation watch, anchoring and berthing watch, and engage in related work on the ship under the arrangement of the chief mate or the driver on duty.
In addition to sailors, the ship also needs painters, blacksmiths, carpenters, cooks, doctors, etc.
But there is no need to specifically change jobs.
As for sailors, they are actually archers, spearmen or swordsmen who are adapted to navigation and can fight on battleships.
Still in the infantry category.
In the future, if warships are equipped with cannons, they will need to be equipped with specialized artillery.
The medium-sized shipyard has just been built, and there are no ancient warship construction drawings. Chang'an does not yet have the conditions to form a navy. The symbolic significance of the naval training camp is greater than the reality.
Tang Jing also only symbolically transferred ten sailors and ten sailors to take charge of guarding the camp.
We’ll talk about military expansion later.
………
Returning to the territory, the selected chief officers of each department have also taken their positions, namely——
Zheng Dingmei, Acting Secretary of the Financial Secretary, female, 35 years old, within the system;
Acting Secretary of the Labor Department Yao Bo, male, 37 years old, human resources director of a well-known group company;
Acting Secretary of the Department of Commerce Zhao Feng, male, 42 years old, within the system;
Sun Zhongda, acting director of the Department of Agriculture, male, 55 years old, is a well-known expert in the agricultural field;
Zhou Yun, acting manager of the supply and marketing cooperative, female, 32 years old, regional manager of a well-known chain store.
They are all the best among men.
The five people all hold the position of acting chief officer, and a three-month inspection period is set. During the inspection period, if their performance satisfies Tang Jing, they can be promoted to full positions in advance.
If performance is poor, positions can be adjusted at any time.
The chief officer of the first department has already half-footed his way into the decision-making level of the lord's mansion. Although Chang'an is short of talents, it is not guaranteed to be reused 100% right from the start.
That's too hasty.
With the participation of these few people, the operation of the Chang'an Lord's Mansion is truly on the right track.
Next.
What Tang Jing needs to do is to slowly get along with these outstanding people at work and truly use them for his own purposes.
