Chapter 509: Advancing to the Giant City
The wharf of Xanadu City is crowded.
Xun Yu and other famous generals who stayed in Xanadu City stood quietly on the dock, silent. As early as a few days ago, Lu Yao sent someone to bring back the news that he was about to return to the territory.
By noon, a battered flotilla of ships was slowly sailing into the bay. Xun Yu and other famous generals suddenly perked up. Everyone saw the huge Zhuya on the big flag fluttering in the wind on the Qiankun Building at the beginning.
A short time later, the ship docked. Lu Yao walked in front, followed by Vulture Bone and other generals who went out with the army and walked down from the deck.
"Greetings to the prince." Xun Yu took the lead in welcoming Lu Yao's return.
His eyes swept over Xun Yu and other famous generals left behind, Lu Yao was in a very good mood and was the first to step on the dock. Then everyone stepped forward in turn to salute.
"The child visits his father." Lu Xun stepped forward after Xun Yu and saluted obediently.
Lu Yao looked at this cheap son, and his mood became better. Although this future top star has not been systematically corrected and returned to his peak, he is still a top star after all, and more importantly, he has worshiped himself as his stepfather, which is more valuable than recruiting a famous player.
Followed by Cai Yan, Mrs. Zhurong and other female generals stepped forward to salute. Looking at these NPC beauties who nominally belonged to him, Lu Yao was in a better mood than ever.
In the previous life, he was forced to become a miner and was oppressed by various family forces. In this life, there are many enviable celebrities, and there are so many NPC beauties. Thinking about it now, it was like a dream, and he definitely didn't want to wake up.
"Go back." Lu Yao gave an order in high spirits, and stretched out his hand to pull Lu Xun onto the horse.
It was the first time for Lu Xun to ride on the snow with Lu Yao, and he looked around curiously. And the snow treading black horse was also the first time to be ridden by the two, and they looked back frequently along the way, slanted at the horse's eyes, and snorted from time to time. Well, this little ghost is much more well-behaved than those two little girls.
Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Sun Shangxiang and a few other little Loli timidly waited at the door to greet them. Lu Yao witnessed the timid appearance of these little loli, and his mood became decisively complicated.
It's a long life.
"The concubine has seen the prince."
Lu Yao almost spurted blood on the spot. I want my own life. A few little Loli made a concubine, and the good mood suddenly became extremely complicated and entangled. This is all Jia Xu's old thing's fault, and this pot is definitely not back.
Happy ancients.
Lu Yao immediately cleaned up his mood, quickly ended the process, and told everyone to wait in the mansion first, and came to the lord's stele alone.
It is now a forbidden place.
Since Cai Yong became the prime minister of Zhu Ya, the rules of the city lord's mansion have immediately taken on a new look, and they are no longer the original casualness. In the past, you could walk freely in the house, and only Lu Yao and her female dependents were allowed to enter and leave the backyard. And now, with a set of rules of the great Confucian Cai Yong, everything has become orderly. Especially on the side of the lord's stele, heavy troops have been deployed, including vine armor soldiers and other powerful troops, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to approach.
According to Cai Yong, this place is the foundation of Zhuya Kingdom, and it is not allowed for others to approach at will. So much so that everyone, including Cai Yan and the rest of the harem, was not allowed to approach here without permission.
The only one who can enter here is Lu Yao.
The loyalty is clear on the panel and will never be taken advantage of. But he didn't object.
If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle.
He didn't have the ability to set rules before. The player's identity makes him ignore this as well. Now that Cai Yong has taken the initiative to take over this job, he is happy to relax and completely delegate power to Cai Yong.
The results speak for themselves. The battle of Guandu lasted for such a long time, although a large number of NPCs were sent by the Jiuli Barbarians every day, but the basic indices were steadily improved with the blessing of special buildings such as Xuanyuan Temple. If it weren't for the sake of saving teleporters, they would have been upgraded.
"Ding, after testing, your territory has reached the upgrade standard, has it cost 20 million gold and 500,000 units of stone to promote Xanadu City to a giant city?"
"Sure."
The light on the lord's stele suddenly bloomed with dazzling white light. This upgrade of the territory is different from the previous instantaneous. The dazzling white light lasted for nearly a minute before it faded. The white light faded, and Lu Yao checked again.
Big City: Paradise
Territorial area: 2400 miles
Funding: 327524326 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze
Resources: 20 million units of grain and grass, 612938 units of wood, 124729 units of stone.
Farmland: 2 million acres
Reserves: 10,000/50,000
Army: 173982/200,000
Population: 7,190,000/500,000, refresh rate 1,200 people/day
Law and order index: 53/100
Popular sentiment index: 63/100
Culture index: 71/100
City defense index: 13/100
Architecture: Omitted.
The territory was upgraded to the size of a giant city, and the territory area suddenly doubled to 2,400 miles. The skyrocketing of territories will inevitably lead to the inclusion of more player territories and Jiuli Man in the territory.
This has also led to a sharp decline in the four basic indexes, and even the cultural index, which has always maintained a high value because of the existence of the great Confucian Cai Yong, has also declined significantly, only 71. It is conceivable that as the territory continues to upgrade, it may be difficult to sustain the cultural index by relying only on Cai Yong, and it is necessary to seize the time to collect classics from the Central Plains, talents and so on.
Aside from the sharp decline in the four basic attributes, other aspects are considerable. In particular, the population of the territory, with the investment of the Nanban Mountains, coupled with the reproduction power of the local people themselves, the population has reached 7 million, and the 10 million mark is just around the corner.
Population increase, foreign plunder is one of them, and more importantly, self-reproduction. The larger the base, the faster the ramp-up.
Secondly, the number of troops is also balanced. In this expedition to the battle of Guandu, he did not intend to be tough and rigid from the beginning, and the battle losses were not much, only more than 20,000. And the system hosting, that is, the setting of setting up NPC management territory, has not been officially opened, and the expansion of the army has been delayed.
However, now that there are many famous generals under his command, it is imperative to expand the army and reorganize. A sound system can be more efficient.
After reading it, Lu Yao felt a little complicated. In his opinion, nothing else is important, what matters is the ability of the territory to produce itself. The most important of these is food production.
However, the population has skyrocketed to 7 million, and the total amount of farmland is only 2 million, less than one mu of farmland per capita.
There are now various chambers of commerce such as Zhen Yan in Xanadu City, and the supply of grain and grass is abundant, and there is no problem to see. But he knew that food and grass were the most important thing in the territory. And the food shortage has been a part of the game's history since the beginning. Otherwise, he would not have vigorously built a special grain storage grain.
Lu Yao secretly noted this, and immediately began to continue to upgrade the building, and finally expanded another hundred special granaries, raising the grain storage in the territory to 30 million units. And then...... No, the stone resources are exhausted, and there is nothing that can be done if you want to build more.
After dealing with the basic affairs of the territory upgrade, Lu Yao returned to the front and asked Xun Yu and the other left-behind personnel to report to work.
