Chapter 386

Northeast of Xingmeng.

Located at the foot of the heishuangyan mountains, rime city has a history of hundreds of years. At first, it was only a temporary foothold for some hunters and peddlers, not even a village. Later, with the growing popularity, more and more people stayed here, which gradually developed into a relatively large town.

About 130 years ago, a certain Tianwei holy land occupied the area with a group of confidants, and then successively annexed some surrounding villages and towns, and called itself viscount. In fact, it monopolized the local specialty business within hundreds of kilometers.

This guy's ability to manage his territory is not bad, and he has several powerful men to help him. In this cold and bitter place, there are no experts to compete with him for territory. Therefore, the territory has gradually expanded. Up to now, it has become a powerful force in the heishuangyan mountains.

Heishuangyan mountain range is one of the most important mountain systems in the northeast of the mainland. It stretches tens of thousands of kilometers, with high mountains and dense forests. It is rich in rare Warcraft, high-grade food materials, precious medicinal materials and other resources. Therefore, a large number of adventurers come to the mountain to seek treasure every year.

"It's a miserable day..."

Endo on the carriage looked at the overcast sky on his head, tightened his thick bear skin robe, and the big snowflakes fell down one after another. The rough ground had begun to freeze, and pedestrians were often seen on the road.

No longer hesitating, ento drove two long haired wildebeests and drove to the city.

He has been in this business for more than ten years. The carriage is full of spices and medicinal materials purchased at a low price near the mountain pass. When he returns to the city and resells them to the merchants who come from afar, he can earn a small amount of gold coins and do some small business at ordinary times. He can almost support his family.

What makes him helpless is that the Lord's taxes are too heavy. After the last Lord died of illness ten years ago, the new Lord became more and more serious, and half of his hard-earned income of a month would be robbed, which made many people dare not speak up.

However, in such a remote and remote country, a strongman of holy land is a powerful existence that people can only look forward to. In addition, he has an army of thousands of people under his command, so no one can challenge his position.

Not only in rime City, but in other areas of the heishuangyan mountains, all the influential groups, large and small, are all capable of seizing and exploiting.

More than half an hour later, the gate of the city is far away. This place is a rare big city in the surrounding area. The city wall is five meters high and more than two meters thick. The wall made of large Wugang rock is quite strong.

On the wall, there are many black armored guards patrolling back and forth. Every hundred meters, there is a lookout tower made of logs and steel components. The tower is guarded by strong and cold looking soldiers in full armor. The city walls are also equipped with multiple long-range heavy crossbows, expensive enchanting arrows, and small stone throwing machines.

Part of the reason for this configuration is to deal with high-level Warcraft who occasionally run out of the mountains, and more to suppress the internal forces to ensure that the Lord's dignity and power will not be challenged.

Endo felt his pocket, and there were several silver coins in it. He sighed again. The entrance fee was very expensive every time, but there was no way, unless he didn't want to go to the city to do business.

As he approached the gate of the city, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere today. The ferocious city guard and tax Ding had disappeared. Instead, a line of bloody heads hung by the wall. A large crowd of people were watching and talking.

“…… Zarin, what's going on? "

Ento saw a familiar face in the crowd and pressed over to ask in a low voice.

The voice of the other side had an irresistible excitement: "don't you know? Today, a very powerful man came to clean up all the Lord's family and his several diehards, who had been publicly executed. That big shot has taken over everything here and announced big tax cuts from now on. "

"Really?"

"Of course, there can be a fake? Do you see these heads? They are all those who refuse to obey the orders of the new Lord. Now they have been decapitated by the new Lord's men. "

Endo said with a sigh of relief: "that's fine. As long as you don't pay so much tax, you'll be much more comfortable in the future."

"No? Moreover, the new Lord also announced that he would open his door to buy some kinds of special products, and the price was very reasonable. In the future, you don't have to give your goods to those greedy foreign merchants, just sell them to the city Lord's house. "

"Is it? I'll have to go and have a look

Endo said goodbye to his old friend and drove his carriage into the gate of the city. As expected, he was not stopped and exploited.

The streets in the city are clean and orderly. The guards who patrol the city have changed. There are still dried up blood on some road sections. It is obvious that fierce fighting happened not long ago.

The carriage went all the way to the city Lord's house. Without much effort, he found a row of newly opened shops. Many mountain people like him were selling their goods at the gate. Next to them are soldiers keeping order.

Then ento waited in line at the back, and soon it was his turn. Two junior pharmacists came to inspect the goods in the carriage. After verifying the quantity and quality, they motioned the slave labors nearby to unload. A clerk counted out 80 imperial gold coins and handed them to him in a small cloth bag."Next time, I'll take more of them back. My master needs these herbs very much." A lower civil servant spoke kindly to him.

Overjoyed, endo repeatedly thanks that the price of the goods sold this time is at least twice as high as that in the past, and he has not been arbitrarily deducted taxes, which really makes him feel inexplicable.

At the moment, in the city Lord's mansion, Qin Feng is examining the magic projection sand table in front of him, and a group of the confidants of the former Lord are standing on the side, fearing not to come out of the atmosphere.

It was this handsome young man with a sky blue magic robe who attacked the city Lord's house alone today, killing the Lord of level 19 in one round, and then killing all those who dare to resist easily. The army stationed in the city went into the main house of the city and was killed by hundreds of people with magic. So far, no one dared to challenge.

In front of the powerful legendary mages, these rogue armies are almost like scarecrows, and they can be killed with a magic.

Soon after the man took control of the situation, another powerful female legendary mage came, and then set up an ultra long-range transmission magic array. Hundreds of fully armed soldiers and administrative personnel were sent to take over the whole city.

“…… It seems that there are abundant products in this place. "

Qin Feng's eyes moved away from the sand table and looked at them, and his tone was indifferent:" two generations of Lords, after so many years of operation, have they mixed up such a famous place? The territory is less than one count, the army is only 3000, and they are all the worst of all. There is not much money left in the warehouse, and the leaders are still being squeezed. What are you doing? "

People looked at each other, and no one dared to speak out. Frankly speaking, these guys were a mob of bandits, bandits and hooligans. They had no insight, no vision and no ability. Besides riding on the leader's head, they expected them to do something seriously? It's really too hard for people.

"Well, it's a waste of water to tell you, delham?" Qin Feng turned his head and called.

"I am here."

A man in his thirties, with bright eyes in black, responded and stood up from the side.

Qin Feng took a look at him: "you will be the Acting City Lord here. I will give you a month to straighten out all the things in this territory. Is there a problem?"

"As you wish, your highness." Derram replied solemnly.

He used to be the home affairs officer of a large aristocratic territory, with outstanding political achievements. Later, because he was framed, he owed a huge debt and was sold as a slave. Later, he was bought by Qin Feng, who valued his ability. Now he is a member of the internal affairs team.

Next to him, Yalun raised his head from a pile of documents and books, frowned and said, "the resources of this place are still good, that is, the population is less. You must transport all the slaves you buy before you can consider a large-scale development plan."

The population of the territory is less than 100000, and most of them are scattered. If you want to develop the territory, you can't do without sufficient human resources.

Qin Feng said, "don't worry about this. The magic guild's floating magic energy transport fleet has already set off. It will arrive in two or three days."

He bought hundreds of thousands of young slaves in one breath and emptied the supply of several slave trade associations this quarter, just for today. Of course, this is far from enough. In the future, with the continuous expansion of territory, the demand for population will be endless.

"As for you guys, from today on, all of you will work in the army or in the village. You will be paid the same salary and assessed once every three months. Those who do well will be promoted and those who are not good will be demoted to slavery." Qin Feng looked at the former Lord's men and said.

He doesn't plan to keep a group of waste for nothing. Those who are familiar with the local situation, have some ability and good attitude can stay in the city Lord's office temporarily. Those who are incompetent and dissatisfied are assigned to work at the grassroots level.

"Yes, your highness."

These people did not dare to disobey, and they agreed wrongly.

A few days later, a fleet of dozens of large floating magic transport ships arrived in the territory, bringing 20000 slaves and a large number of materials and weapons to build the territory.

Qin Feng immediately began to carry out a series of administrative measures. The leaders were concentrated as much as possible. Based on the original villages, ten new towns were built, and the ice song city was expanded. The city walls were widened and widened, and more weapons for guarding the city were equipped.

Although the sparrow is small and has five internal organs, it is necessary to formulate a complete and feasible legal system in terms of public security, internal affairs operation, tax administration and so on. This is an essential step to establish a stable political power.

As for the formation of the most important army, Qin Feng personally investigated the whole process. The scale was initially set at 10000, mainly composed of young and middle-aged slaves, and absorbed some of the original leaders. The officers were temporarily held by high-ranking slaves bought. As for the specification of weapons and equipment, naturally, it is based on the elite standard of the regular army of the grossaron empire.

After the formation of the army, the next step was rigorous training. Qin Feng's requirements were very simple. Since the military pay and food treatment were high standards, the training must also be high standards. As long as he is capable of fighting, he doesn't need to put on airs.The process of these things is rather complicated, but it is an essential lesson during the start-up period. Any successful founder can not be lazy, and Qin Feng is no exception. He spent three months in the barracks, sparing no effort in training the recruits.

Three months later, when he broke through level 23, the order in the territory had been initially established, and the recruits seemed to have a general appearance, and they could start to consider the next expansion.

As a matter of fact, the experts in the half plane have worked out a number of excellent operation plans in combination with the super quantum computing center, and have been revised by professional officers in the world. Basically, there is no omission.
