Chapter 778 To Wucheng
On May 19th in the fourth year of Tianxuan, after spending a few days at the pass at the junction of Luanshanhou State and Jierhou State, Qu Mao was finally ready to leave the pass and head towards Wucheng.
During the stay at Aikou Pass, Qu Mao did not rest in the city hall of Aikou Pass, but instead focused on checking the construction status of non-systematic buildings, military camps, reservoirs, ditches, and sewage pipes in the pass, and gave some specific suggestions. Optimization comments.
On the Continent of Hegemony, because of the need to earn cheat points, Qu Mao often gave advice on construction projects. After persisting for such a long time, he is already considered a half-expert.
When leaving Aikou Pass, Marquis Zhang Zhiyong personally sent Qu Mao and 100 fifth-rank court guards out of Aikou Pass west gate.
Qu Mao waved his hand and said to Marquis Zhang Zhiyong: "Marquis Zhang, just follow your plan and rhythm to continue to stabilize the people's hearts and develop production in the Luanshan Marquis, and just build Aikou Pass according to the rhythm.
Go back, don't send it far away. "
Marquis Zhang Zhiyong watched Qu Mao and his guards leave before returning to Aikou Pass.
After leaving the sight of Marquis Zhang Zhiyong, Qu Mao turned on his cheating system and took a look. Sure enough, the cheating value lived up to expectations and returned to the level of more than one million points.
With more than one million cheating points in hand, Qu Mao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even if all of them were exchanged for gold coins, the million cheating points would be worth tens of millions of gold coins.
But then Qu Mao opened the attribute panel of Yicheng territory, and his face became unhappy again in an instant, because the number of gold coins in the account of Yicheng territory fell below one million gold coins.
In the past, there were 1 million gold coins in the account of the Yicheng Territory, and Qu Mao was very happy, but now it has fallen below 1 million gold coins, which makes Qu Mao feel very nervous. After all, the Yicheng Territory now has an army of more than 10 million. With more than 430 million residents, perhaps a monthly deduction of military expenses is worth millions of gold coins or even tens of millions of gold coins.
To be on the safe side, Qu Mao turned on his own cheating system when he left Aikou Pass and headed towards Jierhou Guowu City, and converted all the cheating points exceeding 1 million points into gold coins and added them to the account of Yicheng territory .
Although he was riding on a war horse, Qu Mao was still satisfied. After bidding farewell to Marquis Zhang Zhiyong, the king of Luanshan Hou Kingdom, in front of the pass, Qu Mao saw that the cheating value was in the early million.
But this time, when exchanging gold coins, all the parts exceeding one million points of cheating value were exchanged for gold coins. Qu Mao exchanged more than 6 million gold coins. In his early days, he jumped to more than 1.6 million cheating points in one go.
Not long after transferring to the Yicheng Territory account, Qu Mao received a long-distance communication from Su Yan using the magic communication crystal.
After connecting to the remote communication, Su Yan's voice came over: "My lord, why did you transfer gold coins to the Yicheng territory account again?"
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, I just took a look at the Yicheng Territory account, and found that there are not even 1 million gold coins in it, and now it is May 19th, and there are only 12 days before the end of the month. I am afraid that the military expenses will not be deducted at the end of the month.
At that time, the military expenses will not be deducted enough, causing 13 million troops to mutiny, and that will be enough for us. "
Su Yan smiled wryly: "My lord, the monthly military deduction and tax settlement are on the same day, and the tax settlement comes first, and the military deduction comes after. It has been more than two months since we took down the Tassel Principality and the Six Marquis.
At the end of the first month, the tax contributed more than 2 million gold coins to our territorial account. This month we have been working hard to appease the people and resume production. All aspects of society are developing in a good direction.
Therefore, the subordinates estimate that when the tax is settled this month, the number of gold coins will definitely increase. It is estimated that there will be about 5 million gold coins, which should be barely enough to meet the military expenses.
The wages of workers in construction projects such as Aikouguan, Wucheng, Wucheng Port and Teleportation City can be postponed for a period of time. After all, we are the victors of the war, and these ordinary residents have a certain degree of free labor obligations. "
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, we are not short of the money, and the wages of ordinary residents for labor labor are not many gold coins, so it doesn't make any sense to deduct it.
Besides, ordinary residents will choose to consume only if they have enough gold coins on hand. Only when they consume will our business prosper, and we will have more tax revenue when business prospers. "
Su Yan sighed, and said: "My lord, since you have already transferred the gold coins to the account of the Yicheng territory, your subordinates will naturally not deduct the wages of ordinary workers.
It's just a matter of you transferring gold coins to supplement the account of the territory. I would like to remind you, lest you are not clear about the current tax status of our Yicheng territory.
The days of no income in the Holy Land, I believe that we will never experience it again, and you don’t have to worry about the lack of gold coins anymore, my lord. "
Qu Mao smiled and said: "Okay, thank you for reminding, Su Yan, I already know.
Now I am leading the fifth-tier palace guards to the construction site of Wucheng in Jierhou State. I don’t know if Kong Ming has returned. It would be great if I can meet Kong Ming at the construction site of Wucheng.
When the main mainland army is completely reorganized and the main force of the Yicheng Territory Army is stationed in Wucheng, Kong Ming and I may return to the Holy Land. "
Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord, I wish you a safe journey.
It's late May, and the subordinates also want to go back to the Holy Land of Yicheng Territory to have a look.
My lord, my subordinates have not been back since they dispatched troops on February 21st. "
Qu Maodao: "Su Yan, since you want to go back, then I suggest you go back tomorrow, after all, in the early morning of the 21st, I still have deals with my two friends who are the chosen ones.
I originally thought that it would be fine if I was on the way. Since you want to go back to the Holy Land, you should complete the transaction by the way. I have already communicated with my friends about the materials to be purchased, and the price has also been negotiated.
As for what we want to sell, we can sell a bag of grain to Fuzhi, and 999 damaged small warships salvaged to Laidema. "
Su Yan said: "Okay, my lord, since you have ordered me, I should arrange the things at hand today, and return to the holy land tomorrow, and rush to the market opposite the lord's hut before 10 o'clock in the evening and wait to complete the transaction you requested, my lord.
Follow-up, the subordinates will take a tour around the islands of the Holy Land, and return to the King City of Tassel Duke around the afternoon of May 23rd in the fourth year of Tianxuan. "
Qu Mao said: "Su Yan, if the matter of the Duchy of Tassel is not so urgent, there is no need for you to hurry. It is rare to go back, and you can spend a few more days in the Holy Land."
Su Yan said: "Yes, my lord!
Subordinates can arrange their own itinerary. "
After hanging up the long-distance communication with Su Yan, Qu Mao rushed to the squadron leader of the fifth-tier imperial guards and continued to walk towards the Wucheng construction site.
