Chapter 768: Flourishing (Thank you for your great reward!!) )
In the following days, Jiang Zhuo finally finished the exam, and at the same time, he also disposed of the affairs he had accumulated during his absence from the headquarters.
After consuming more than 60,000 gold coins, Fuhu Township has been completely transformed into a city similar to Jiaoqiu City, except for the wharf that will take more than a week to be fully completed.
Fuhucheng covers an area half smaller than Poyang County, but it is about the same size as Geyang County. The city was built entirely after a military city, with only a thousand NPC inhabitants in the city.
In addition, because during the occupation of the Yellow Turban Army, Fuhu Township changed hands and attacked several times, so players with household registration in Fuhu Township have either deleted their accounts a long time ago, or have also changed their nationality.
After Fuhu Township became Jiang Zhuo's territory, he had the power to decide whether or not to accept others as his subjects. At present, there are only more than 3,000 players registered in Fuhu Township, all of whom are official members or vassal workers of the [Lingyun Palace].
The Marquis of Fuhu Township also formed its own army, led by Qin Fen, who was led by Jiang Zhuo's previous personal guards, and expanded to 2,000 people with the original 300 personal guards, and stationed in Fuhu City for a long time.
In addition to Fuhu Township, [Lingyun Palace] also has a big project in the Huaiyu Mountain Range, to set up 32 passes on 16 access channels. At present, the progress is very slow, because the destruction of the Yellow Turban Army seems to be far away, and the financial constraints, so it is postponed.
Don't look at the background of [Lingyun Palace] It seems to be very poor, but in fact, under Jiang Zhuo's coordination, their profit point is no weaker than that of some hegemon-level forces.
First of all, shops, he expanded from a county in Geyang County to the present, and almost all the way to the past, he used some light or dark means to buy a lot of shops. Every city and slightly larger township under Jiang Zhuo's name has his shop.
Not to mention the fields, even if two-thirds of the land that Jiang Zhuo had hoarded before had been sold, there were now more than 10,000 acres of land left. Among them, 3,000 acres were used as military land to provide military rations. The remaining 7,000 acres are either rented out or arranged for their subordinates to grow by themselves, which is profitable anyway.
There is also Lead Mountain, and the daily ticket income and the share of the ore production income add up to six or seven hundred gold coins.
In terms of water transportation, eight seriously damaged 100-stone boats were eliminated in several major wars, plus more than 200 ferries, and the water transportation company established in Fuhu City could also earn two or three hundred gold coins a day.
There is also a trade route from Poyang County to the north, after Han Ji was arranged by Jiang Zhuo to be in charge of this area, this trade route also began to make crazy profits. Basically, you can earn thousands of gold coins by going back and forth every two days.
The largest is Fuhu City, a trading capital that has already revealed its embryonic form, and its daily tax revenue has exceeded 1,200 gold coins. If it weren't for the expansion of Fuhu Township and the Huaiyu Mountain Range project, which had been spending money, the gang would have already had seventy or eighty thousand gold coins in liquidity.
"Next, the three mines in Changsha County, as well as the production of Lead Mountain, will all be invested in the Yungai furnace. Every day, when the Purple Fox has more ore than they need, they will replace it with raw materials such as coke, and they can still use it anyway.
It may not be enough to see the situation, so let's transfer the daily income of Geyang County, Guixi County, and Shangrao County..."Jiang Zhuo reviewed the plan jointly submitted by Purple Fox and Lin Fan, and met their needs as much as possible.
"Understood!" Although Wet Chest Youli has been demoted to Jiang Zhuo's life assistant, this is a matter of ability, not that Jiang Zhuo does not trust him. Therefore, Jiang Zhuo did not treat him badly, and still let him take a part-time position in the secretary department, which was already a position in the Hou Mansion of Fuhu Township.
The workload of the three jobs is actually not too large, but the salary of the three jobs is leveraged.
"Gan Ning..."Jiang Zhuo had a little headache, and now the [Quartermaster Hall] was completely busy. Not only was he responsible for the three thousand flawless heavy armor suits trapped in the camp, but he also received an order from Gan Ning's side.
The key thing was that the forging position of the Cloud Cover Furnace was a little insufficient, and he felt that the forging masters of the [Lingyun Palace] were quite dependent on the Cloud Cover Furnace. It's as if you can't forge without the cloud cover furnace, so you have to squeeze over there to work.
After thinking about it, Jiang Zhuo looked at Haidusk City.
To the north of Haiyang City is Lushan, except that Lushan has no mineral deposits, the rest of the resources are quite rich. In particular, firewood is burned, and trees can be cut down when you go out.
Forging does not always require a high-grade fuel called [coke], and in many cases, some ordinary ores can be burned by firewood by heating through the bellows.
"Over there in Haidusk City, there are still Flower Gods, Xu Zhi and Zhang Ying in charge, right?" Jiang Zhuo's mind was a little confused, as long as the territory had expanded a little bit recently. There is a county town in the east, and half a county is taken in the north, and so on, and it is not systematic.
Wet chest Youli first gave a positive answer according to his impression, and then immediately checked the information, "That's right, it's them." The city of Darkness has now begun to take troops out of the city to deploy defenses, taking back control of large areas of farmland in the field.
Mainly, many landlords asked us to help them protect their crops from being destroyed and harvested by the Rong Rong army at the cost of sponsoring materials. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Zhuo frowned, "Zhang Ying's loyalty is not high enough, why would Xiaohua do this?" ”
If you stick to the city wall, it is better to monitor Zhang Ying's actions. But if you go out of the city, the ghost knows if Zhang Ying will be abducted by Zhenrong or Hua Xin with a letter? Jiang Zhuo had seen a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life...
The most classic is the end of the Battle of Guandu, the [Qingzhou Gang] cut off Xu You, who was about to take refuge in Cao Cao, and then the people of [Helping the World] took a letter from Cao Cao and abducted Xu You, making the [Qingzhou Gang] angry to death.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhuo remembered another tragic incident of the [Qingzhou Gang], they were originally ready to lean towards Cao Cao after the incident of Yuan Shu becoming emperor, because their territory was Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and they had no choice after Xuzhou and half of Qingzhou fell into Cao Cao's hands.
It's a pity that [Helping the World] was too ruthless, sacrificing a high-level spy, and on behalf of the [Qingzhou Gang] mixed up with the royalists. After being found out by Cao Cao, Lao Cao was furious and dealt a severe blow to the [Qingzhou Gang]. forced the [Qingzhou Gang] to Yuan Shao's camp and mixed with [Truman].
It's a pity that a hegemon-level force, because of regional reasons, is beaten back and forth like a dog.
This time, if he could, Jiang Zhuo really wanted to pull them up and form an iron alliance with them when the [Qingzhou Gang] was hit and almost fell to the top of the throne. Because Qingzhou and Xuzhou are actually in Zang Ba, that is, in his hands...
