Li Xiang walked around the North City for a long time. It was dirty and smelly. This was the North City of Longling City. He needed to improve this place and build a huge defense line against ferocious beasts.
Longling City is very prosperous on weekdays, and the streets are full of people, but everything changed after the Xiliang City army came in.
From major families to ordinary people's homes, they were all plundered by Xiliang. Starting from each area, if they handed over all their finances, it would be fine, but if they wanted to keep it secret, what was waiting for them was flogging and beheading.
Xiliang only wanted finances and Yuanshi, and did not use any food at home.
On the first day, Li Xiang saw nearly 10 million taels of silver, which were the silver taels saved by these big families over the years. If they had not handed over most of the silver taels to their backers, Li Xiang might have gained even more.
Under the escort of a thousand cavalry, the transport team slowly rushed back to Xiliang City. It took about half a month to go back and forth.
Counting the days, it will be almost a month before Mr. Li comes out.
There were no available internal affairs manpower around, so Li Xiang could only go into battle on his own. The most important thing was to detect the movements of the ferocious beasts, then to set up sentry posts, and finally it was the turn of Xiliang City to transform.
After harvesting a large amount of silver, the soldiers in Xiliang City will be fully liberalized in their job transfers, and they no longer need to be as careful as before.
The farmland in the Northern Wilderness had a good harvest in the heavy snow, bringing a large amount of food to Xiliang City. At the same time, the farmland in the Dark World has initially become self-sufficient and does not need Xiliang City's continued support.
When Li Xiang opened the board and looked at it, the grain storage capacity reached 110 million units for the first time. If all of them were used to recruit people, 1.1 million Xiliang people could be recruited.
Li Xiang calculated that the food harvested by Dark City was five million units, which was enough for the needs and development of Dark City.
As the Dark Fortress became famous, people from that world began to attach themselves to the Dark Fortress. Li Xiang also needed a large amount of food to exchange bandages with Rogge's camp.
The harvest in the Jucheng camp is the largest, with 50 million units harvested at one time, and the northern wilderness area harvests 20 million units of grain. The stamina is very strong. When the lush area of Xuanzhai is captured, tens of thousands more farmers will be sent there.
By then it will not be difficult to harvest hundreds of millions of units of grain in two months.
Harvest 75 million units of food at once!
At present, the amount of food consumed by Xiliang City in two months is about 30 million units. It is expected that 10 million units will be left after the job transfer, and 30 million units of food reserves will be left. The amount of food that Prime Minister Li can call is 40 million units of food.
Click on Xiliang Town Center to recruit 100,000 people. Currently, Xiliang Town Center can recruit a farmer every fifteen seconds, and it will take about 20 days to recruit all 100,000 people.
These 100,000 people are used to be transferred to soldiers. Each of the five legions will take another 10,000 people. Among these 10,000 people, 1,000 cavalry can be transferred. The remaining 50,000 horses are divided into 15,000 pikemen and 10,000 swordsmen.
Five, five thousand crossbowmen, five thousand archers, and finally ten thousand light cavalry.
After recruiting people and transferring troops, these people alone have consumed nearly 30 million units of food, and there are still 10 million units of food left. Prime Minister Li set his sights on the Dark Fortress and the Northern Wilderness.
The farmland on the Juhu City side cannot continue to expand for the time being. It is too far away from Juhu City, and as you go further north, space-time cracks have begun to appear, and it cannot continue to expand.
There is still a lot of open space on the Dark Fortress side, which can be reclaimed into larger farmland. Dark City recruits 50,000 people, and the Northern Wilderness recruits another 50,000 people to continue to cultivate more farmland.
Li Xiang waved his hand and used up all the food that Xiliang City had saved for several months. After this recruitment, the population of Xiliang City exceeded 400,000.
After this recruitment, the number of farmers is about 160,000, the number of soldiers in Xiliang is about 180,000, and the rest are people from all walks of life in Xiliang.
As a result, there will be a huge demand for iron. Light cavalry, heavy cavalry, infantry, and some top-level units that Li Xiang has not yet recruited, such as Zhuge Company crossbowmen and heavy cavalry like the five hundred personal guards. Requires too much gold.
Only ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one tael of gold. Gold is a rare material in Xiliang City. The gold received in Longling City is only 70,000 taels of gold. If the system's exchange method is used, it can be exchanged for 700,000 taels of silver. , a ratio of ten to one.
But the ratio of silver to gold here in Daqian is twenty to one, that is, it takes twenty taels of silver to exchange for one tael of gold.
Seventy thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for 1.4 million taels of silver. Li Xiang just thought about converting the silver into gold. After all, this is not possible for the time being. The rich people in the northwest are all in Jiuyuan County. He brought the gold there, and probably left the men and horses there.
Write a letter in Chinese characters and ask a few messengers to take it back. Here are Li's arrangements for the civilians who have just been recruited.
At the same time, the troops and construction teams requested to be mobilized are all inside!
On the fourth day, the harvesting of Longling City was completed. The mountains of money piled up by Prime Minister Li made him sigh. Sure enough, war is the fastest way to get rich.
Tens of millions of taels of silver were collected from major families, and nearly ten million taels of silver were collected from the homes of these ordinary people. The number of yuan stones is being calculated. Yuan stones are the most important material. There are fifty thousand kilograms in the city lord's mansion. There are Yuan stones with various attributes.
This is a primeval stone that has not been processed yet. When you see primeval stones in the market, they have been processed.
Yuan stones come in different shapes. According to the current price of Yuan stones, one or two Yuan stones are worth one tael of gold, while the price of one kilogram of Yuan stones will reach twenty kilograms, which is two hundred taels of gold.
The larger the size of the Yuan Stone, the higher the price will be, because the large Yuan Stone has a function that those fragmentary Yuan Stones do not have. The large Yuan Stone will independently absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
In Long Qingyuan's room, there is a huge Yuan Stone weighing two hundred kilograms. This is the largest Yuan Stone dug out in the mine near Longling City.
The amount of spiritual energy this piece of Yuan Stone absorbs and gathers every day is about the same as a Yuan Stone weighing one kilogram.
The price of such a primeval stone is infinitely high, and no one will sell it.
Li Xiang's demand for Yuan Stone is not high. Only the armory and monastery in Xiliang City need Yuan Stone.
After Duanmu Xiyuan came back from Beicheng, she locked herself in the upper room and tinkered with something. Li Xiang was also happy and free. Unknown to him, he felt very uncomfortable following Duanmu Xiyuan. This girl was a bit evil.
With the external issues almost settled, Prime Minister Li began to transform Longling City, and promised that Duanmu Xiyuan's matter should also be settled, allowing these Five Dragon Army soldiers to get married.
According to the investigation these days, more than 6,000 men in the city are missing. Although the remaining husbands are dead, they still have brothers-in-law or uncles at home.
However, all these people were detained by Xiliang soldiers in the military camp and could not come out even a step.
There are also statistics of boys over seven years old. There are 3,000 boys between the ages of seventeen and fourteen in the city. Anyone over the age of fifteen can join the army. Jiuyuan County requires a lot of troops. Longling City has the right age.
’s people have already enlisted in the army.
A series of actions by Prime Minister Li made people in the city feel that their future was dark and they could not see the future.
They who live in Longling City know very well what their ancestors have done up to now.
Even after they established Longling City, they still retained their barbaric practices, and those two hundred thousand slaves were the best representatives.
Now there is a more barbaric force than them. According to their method of treating the children of the hostile force, they usually kill them if they are above the wheel, because the children above the wheel begin to have memories. If these children are shed, a lot of them will be left behind.
Uncertain dynamite.
But they had no way to resist. Those who dared to resist were already hanging on their doors. Those tall soldiers were selfless and devoid of any humanity.
When investigating the children's ages, many of them thought of lying about their age, but did not expect that the other party would feel the bones themselves, and those who dared to lie about their age would be whipped directly.
All the homes with children in the city were searched, as were the homes of the deceased men, as well as those in Beicheng. A large number of their clothes were shipped to Beicheng.
Beicheng's slave Li Xiang couldn't stand it, but he couldn't let go of all the slaves directly. He came up with a way to stipulate how much ore these people had to dig, even if they completed the day's work
After completing their workload, they continued to dig to obtain Yuan Stones, which could be used to exchange for various materials, including freedom.
Yuan ore is difficult to dig. Many people can only dig one or two Yuan stones in a day. Sometimes they don't harvest anything for a whole day. They can only slowly tap on the stone wall. The color and hardness of Yuan ore are different from ordinary stones.
Sixty percent of the 200,000 people are young and middle-aged, and many of them bring their families with them when they were captured by Longling City. In addition to mining, the sanitation and construction of Longling City are also made by these slaves.
Finish.
Li Xiang wants to mobilize the enthusiasm of these slaves, and the construction of Longling City will not be without them.
Rules and regulations slowly came out in the hands of Li Xiang one by one. Xiliang soldiers were the best enforcers. They never looked at whether the things formulated by their lord were good or bad, they would only execute them.
On the other side, Xiliang soldiers pressed some of the captured Longlingcheng soldiers to go to the forest in the north to cut down trees, and some prisoners went to the mining area to carry stones.
This is in preparation for the reconstruction of the northern part of the city.
The Xiliang cavalry are not idle either. They patrol the white land in the north every day. The number of ferocious beasts in the north is increasing, and they have also grown from weak to powerful. These ferocious beasts are slowly moving southward under the threat of more powerful ferocious beasts.
Come.
Forty days after Prime Minister Li left Xiliang City, Xiliang City guarded Prime Minister Li's letter. When those soldiers kept coming out to transfer to the militia, Li Yi knew that his lord was controlling it remotely.
A large number of civilians appeared in the two sub-cities of Dark Fortress and Yuankuang City, taking the initiative to become farmers, reclaiming land and planting crops.
After reading Li Xiang's letter, Li Yi prepared the manpower and materials that Li Xiang needed, and the transport team started to set off again the next day after returning.
