Lu Yao was helpless.

The territory seems to be thriving at the moment. Just looking at the panel is like a real paradise. But the development of the territory is very deformed. If agriculture is regarded as man's right hand, industry as man's left hand, and military power as man's body, then the economy is man's heart.

At present, Xanadu Village is like a patient with heart failure.

War is fought with logistics, and logistics is equal to economy. In economically underdeveloped territories, no matter how strong the military power is, there is only one end result.

Bulldozed by others.

As a reborn, Lu Yao is not unaware of how important the development of the territorial economy is to the territory. Unfortunately, it can't be helped. Since the establishment of the village, he has fought bandits, pushed Feiyang Village, subdued the Liukou camp led by Ding Yan, and finally just bulldozed Piaoling Village, he has never had time to develop the economy of Xanadu Village. Not to mention that various military operations are also mixed with activities such as frying grain, forming alliances with Mojia Village, etc. None of them can be missing, otherwise there would be no Xanadu Village now.

Now the hidden danger of Piaoling Village has been bulldozed. There are still hidden dangers around the territory from the perspective of the city defense index, but this does not matter. The upcoming list system will not have any impact on the development of the territory. It is an excellent time to focus on economic development and strengthen the foundation of Xanadu Village.

There are many sources of economic resources for the territory. At this stage, however, there are not many sources. The first is taxation, which requires the province to be upgraded to a level 3 village and a primary market to be built. At this stage, the territory was separated from public ownership, and private ownership officially stepped onto the stage of history. Villagers are free to spend their income on the premise of guaranteeing tax revenues. This also indicates that the territory has entered a new phase.

The second source is the commerce of the territory. There are two more cases here. The first is that Xanadu Village can still enjoy the benefits of the system and use the extremely convenient business system of the trading platform. The second situation is that when the development reaches a certain stage, this benefit will be abolished and replaced by the Chamber of Commerce. The output of the territory will be traded through the Chamber of Commerce.

However, no matter how business is conducted, there must be one condition, the possession of goods.

There are countless types of products. Like what kind of military supplies, farm tools, grain and grass, etc., are considered commodities. Players can sell surplus items in their territory for money. Of course, in addition to civilian goods such as farm tools that can be sold, players will rarely sell military supplies and grain and grass. So here's the problem. Anyone can build all kinds of people's biological resources, and even if they can be sold, the price makes people cry.

Nothing is more profitable than the souvenirs.

Specialties are resources that are unique to the territory. Each specialty needs to be certified by the imperial court to have the attribute of a specialty. It's like Zhuyazhou. Tropical fruits such as mangoes and bananas are abundant here. Before they were certified as specialty, these tropical fruits were sold as food and grass. However, a certain territory has passed the certification of the imperial court, making these two tropical fruits a specialty, and from now on, these two fruits will not be counted as grain and grass, but will be sold on the specialty platform as a specialty.

Strictly speaking, Lu Yao made a lot of money in the grain speculation turmoil some time ago. For the average player, of course. But in reality, the deal was a big loss. The price of a unit of specialty products can be ten times or even hundreds of times higher than that of grain and grass. For example, a unit of mango can be sold as grain and grass at a price of 5 copper during the new grain harvest season, and after it becomes a specialty, the price will be as high as 50 or even 500 copper per unit. The profits are outrageously high.

Since discovering the plantain forest and mango forest near the village, Lu Yao has a plan. He had exhausted the potential of these two fruit forests before to sell them as grain and grass, and he was mentally prepared. Without these two fruit forests, Xanadu Village is probably still in a food shortage, and there is no chance to push two players' territories in a row.

Although these two orchards have been collected, they are not one-time minerals after all, they are renewable resources. As long as it can be certified by the imperial court, it will become a specialty. These two fruit forests alone can bring a huge amount of wealth to Xanadu Village.

After discussing with Ding Yan, Lu Yao specially arranged special people to take care of the two orchards, and built a simple fence to make it more like a mature orchard. After getting ready, he opened the trading platform, entered the specialty platform, and chose the certified specialty.

And then...... Then you can only wait for the court officials to come to the door.

In order to leave a good impression on the court officials, Lu Yao mobilized the children studying in the private school to take the time to clean up the whole village, and then arranged for some villagers to clean up the weeds and shrubs around the village, and finally carried out a small round of army expansion, replenishing the cavalry under Zhao Yun to thirty horsemen. The number of archers under his command was increased to thirty. Ding Yan and the Pu Dao soldiers under Li Daniu were added to a total of 50. Ding Yan took forty Pu sword soldiers to garrison Xanadu Village. Li Da Niu brought ten to act as his personal guards.

As the days passed, Lu Yao estimated that the court officials were about to arrive, and summoned Ding Yan and other major subordinates to arrange work. While it was being scheduled, a system message suddenly appeared.

"Ding, due to the wind and waves, the imperial court specialty certification team unfortunately died in the sea. Please be patient and wait for the next batch of certification teams to arrive. ”

Very nice and sweet.

Lu Yao waved his hand helplessly and dismissed the meeting. He was mentally prepared for this. Zhuya Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of the country, and is separated from the Central Plains by the ocean. In reality, it is good to say that it is not far to enter Hainan Island through the Leizhou Peninsula. But in the game, the map is expanded a hundredfold. What was once a strait can no longer be called a strait. The area of the ocean is almost catching up with the East China Sea.

The certification team of the imperial court was tragically wiped out. Lu Yao was very worried. It's not that I'm worried about the innocent deaths of these NPCs. Specialties are special resources. China in the game is definitely a vast land. It is not surprising that the same resources are available everywhere. Therefore, there are great restrictions on specialty products. Generally speaking, the imperial court only accepts the first three applications for each specialty. Terminate when the quota is full.

Lu Yao asked himself, no one is more familiar with the trajectory of the game than him. But he was worried about whether the country had gone through the back door and got relevant inside information from Pangu. In case the plantain and mango are taken into the arms of the state forces, it will be very embarrassing. These two are not produced only in his domain. It's everywhere in Zhuya Prefecture. At present, apart from these two tropical fruits, he has not found a resource that qualifies as a specialty.

After waiting for another three days, Lu Yao finally heard the system prompt he wanted to hear the most: Ding, the imperial court specialty certification team has arrived in the bay, please go to greet you.

When Lu Yao saw the system prompt, he immediately found Ding Yan and Zhao Yun, and after explaining a few words carefully, he took Li Daniu to lead the team to the bay.

It is not yet possible to build a dock in the village-level territory. Lu Yao sits on a vast coastline but can't grab wealth from the rich ocean, and it would be self-deception to say that it doesn't hurt. So he simply couldn't see it. In addition to being in the bay when he was born, this is the second time he has come.

There is already a rudimentary temporary pier on the coast. More than ten miles away from the sea, there are three magnificent building ships. On the slightly rippling sea, three small boats could be faintly seen heading towards this direction. Lu Yao arranged for the team to stand in line, and then respectfully waited for the arrival of the mission. About half an hour later, the three boats stopped at the shore. Lu Yao took a look.

Well, sure enough, it's the imperial court specialty certification team.
