Chapter 403 Construction of a large number of villages
Obviously, Qu Mao didn't trust Su Yan's promise very much, so on the way from Mingang Village back to the lord's cabin in Yi Village, Qu Mao started lobbying Su Yan.
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, since we have a brand-new model after the profit reform in building a new village, I always feel that we don't need to be so timid to build a new village. The planned location will be rebuilt, and then we will consider building roads to connect to other villages."
Su Yan smiled wryly and said: "My lord, everyone understands the truth, but Yi Village's territory is not the kind of rich and powerful territory, our gold coins are always limited, and the population growth of our territory is always explosive, and our subordinates are helpless .”
Qu Mao continued to say earnestly: "Su Yan, what we want to resettle is not only the 12,000 free citizens who are about to come back from Yancheng Port, but also your 6,000 outstanding citizens.
You said that there are not enough excellent-level qualifications in our territory, so I gave you a recruitment coupon that can recruit 6,000 excellent-level qualifications, but you haven't recruited yet.
From the time I gave you the recruitment coupons for 6,000 excellent-level qualified leaders, at least a month has passed.
The number of villages we are building and the villages that have already been built are less than 160, so how can we do it?
I think according to the current population of our Yi Village territory, at least 200 villages must be built. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, my subordinates are already working hard to resettle the population obtained from the second batch of invasion fleets of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance into villages that are under construction or have already been built.
Our current 160 villages have all been built. On average, as long as each village can accommodate 500 people, a total of 80,000 people can be resettled. Counting Yicun, Yicun, Yicun, Dicheng and other villages that can accommodate more than 500 people , we will be able to resettle even a population of 85,000, including the more than 30,000 soldiers you are thinking about. "
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, it's still too slow, what if the third batch of invasion fleet of the Anti-Yi Village Alliance sends us nearly 50,000 people?
So I suggest that, like what we did in Yi Village last time, recruit all the remaining excellent-level qualified leaders, train and form a team, recruit 100 initial leaders, and then build some villages simultaneously. "
Su Yan said angrily: "My lord, I just paid 10,000 gold coins to Maffei Trani from the territory of Yi Village, don't you know?
No gold coins, building new villages every day, when will it be a head? "
Qu Mao said: "We will build another 40 new villages, and expand the number of villages on the three islands of Yidao, Kongdao, and Lidao to 200, so that we can easily accommodate all of our population.
Including all the excellent-level qualifications you recruited, the 12,000 people who will be purchased by Yancheng Port, and the people we recruit from the refugee shelter every day. "
Su Yan said: "My lord, building another 40 villages means that at least 4,000 gold coins must be paid out. Before you sponsored 25,000 gold coins, my subordinates think that they can last until April.
If we build 40 more villages, we won't even be able to last until the end of March.
My lord, my subordinates feel that your plan to build 40 more villages is very reasonable, but my lord, our gold coins can’t keep up.
Although we can go out to trade once a month, with our animal skins, bacon, sea salt, grain, seafood, etc., 10 sea ships may not be able to exchange 10,000 gold coins.
Now we no longer have the opportunity to exchange blank rune stones for gold coins, and our subordinates are almost dying of worry because of gold coins.
This time we purchased 20 ships and 12,000 people, so the 10,000 gold coins Maffei took away will basically be spent, and the sales revenue from our 10 ships will also have to be used.
If the first wave of gold coins is not enough, and the second wave sails to Yancheng Port, the subordinates feel that at least 5,000 gold coins must be prepared for Maffei. The subordinates do not know how Su Bo obtained the gold coins in Liuwang Duchy, but at least he must Suber subsidized 10,000 gold coins, and we were able to achieve the goal of this two-wave trip to Yancheng Port.
In order to buy more citizens every time, my lord, you don’t know how long we haven’t purchased production tools, living tools and living supplies.
This time Qiaoer went to Yancheng Port, and her subordinates have told her to evacuate at least half of the hidden material storage points prepared by Suber to supplement the development of Yi Village territory. "
Qu Mao thought for a while, looked at Su Yan riding on the horse, and said so much in one breath, Qu Mao fell into silence.
After a long while, Qu Maocai said: "Su Yan, you don't have to worry too much about the gold coins, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.
Let’s prepare to build a new village according to my plan. It would be a waste not to recruit excellent-level qualified citizens, so recruit them as soon as possible.
For each new village, we will use 10 village officials with excellent qualifications to lead the people, and 100 prisoners of war to be freed or surrendered as the initial villagers. For each village, we will only build the interior office, material warehouse and granary for the time being. We don't build high-rise buildings.
We try to minimize the cost of developing each village, and then organize the initial villagers to dig reservoirs and reclaim cultivated land. I think under such a background, our gold coins are still enough. What do you think? "
Su Yan let out a long sigh, opened the attribute panel of Yi Village territory, glanced at it, and then said: "Okay, my lord, let's do what you ask first. All the leaders were recruited, and then trained in groups.
After the training, let them recruit the initial villagers freely, and build new villages as soon as possible according to the scale of a total of 200 villages.
Go back and find the army to **** these village officials to outlying islands to recruit initial villagers, and rush to the specific location of the construction village to start construction. "
Qu Mao said: "For the interaction with the troops, I suggest that you contact Zhao Pan directly, and you can't wait for the village officials to recruit the initial villagers. My suggestion is that before the first wave of sea boats come back from Yancheng, they will be sent from Fanyi Village. All the people obtained from the second batch of invasion fleets of the alliance were transferred to free people, and all of them were resettled in villages."
Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord, before the gold coins are about to run out, my subordinates will take the initiative to report to you.
Please don’t worry, my lord, my subordinates will try to arrange the gold coins. There are 200 villages in total, and no matter what, they can accommodate 85,000 people. "
Qu Mao nodded and said: "Then let's follow this first. I estimate that the three islands of Lidao, Kongdao and Yidao can arrange 300 villages at best, and 200 villages will be built first, and then we will develop Jidao later. .
Of course, after these 200 villages are all built, in addition to the 30,000 soldiers, I hope that all the citizens and free people in the territory of Yi Village can settle in specific villages, and arrange the soldiers to settle in each village in the next step. "
