Chapter 247: Plundering Resources
readx;? Whether the Xuanshi army of the Eternal Kingdom will come, no one is too clear about this, and even Li Badao is not very sure about this until now, this is not an exaggeration, but it is really like this, it has been a full month since the last battle, and the people of the Songshi Army have even trained the battle formation more proficiently, but they have not seen the Xuanshi army of the Eternal Kingdom come to conquer again, this situation really makes everyone feel very confused.

Now there is another thing that makes Li Badao feel very upset is that he left them outside the city after killing the Xuanshi of the Eternal Kingdom before, this practice is actually to do things absolutely well, which will make the generals of the Xuanshi of the Eternal Kingdom even more angry, but although their previous approach was very ingenious, but now it seems that this approach has become a very stupid approach. Because the time has dragged on for too long after all, so that the corpses of the Xuanshi outside the city have already stinked, and this situation is beyond Li Badao's control.
Of course, it is not right to say that there is no way at all, Li Badao They are Xuanshi rather than ordinary people after all, they naturally have more ways to slow down the decay of the corpse, and it is not impossible to even stop completely, but this method is not an ordinary means after all, and if you want to do this, it will either be very obvious, if you want to do it very naturally, and do not let the corpse rot, the consumption of resources is also huge, even Li Badao will not accept such a situationγ Although their resources are abundant, they are also very valuable.
And in fact, by now, Li Badao is already a little unsure when their next battle will start, for Li Badao, only to be able to start a war. In this way, they can get more resources, and if they don't have enough resources, no matter how much they have in their hands now, they will be consumed one day. And now Li Badao is no longer in the hands of the past when there were only more than 1,000 people, although the two major battles in a row did make the Demon Hunter Army and the Songshi Army have certain battle losses, but despite this, their number is still more than 4,000 now.
Such a number of people. If you want to make the supply of resources, the best situation is to find a place with a vein of Xuanjing, and only then can the supply of resources become smooth. Otherwise, it is to find a place where there can be many shops, in fact, Li Badao also understands very well, when fighting in other metaverses. Generally speaking, there are only three ways to obtain resources. The first is that the Xuanshi of the expedition has established the foundation for advancement, and then they can contact the Metaverse where they originally went out, and then obtain resources from the base camp.
However, this method is obviously not suitable for Li Badao, after all, the Li family has been wiped out, although Li Badao is extremely unwilling to admit that the Li family has been wiped out. It's just that they stubbornly think that the Li family is gone, but whether they are eliminated or disappear, at least the Li family can't give them any resources now.
The second method of obtaining resources for the Xuanshi army fighting in the other world is naturally to use the most conventional method, that is, the original method that must be used in the original Metaverse, that is, to find the Xuanjing vein. After all, at the end of the day, all the Xuanjing must have been excavated from the Xuanjing vein, there is no doubt about this, so if it is possible to occupy the Xuanjing vein. Naturally, they can obtain a lot of resources, so it is difficult for them to be depleted. It's just that the Xuanjing vein is actually not perfect, because it is absolutely impossible for a Xuanjing vein to support too many people.
The Xuanjing vein is considered to be discovered. It also needs to be excavated, and the speed of excavation is absolutely impossible to be too fast, Xuanjing is not like other ores, Xuanjing's excavation requires corresponding skills, even if you find the most skilled person, it is impossible to dig too fast. Therefore, generally speaking, the most precious ones are the Xuanjing vein group, and only the mines that have multiple ore veins fused together can be found. In this way, it is possible for more Xuanshi to obtain enough resources in a short period of time.
But Li Badao also understands that the pure Xuanjing veins are already very precious existences. It must be very difficult to snatch even a single vein of Xuanjing, let alone a mine where many veins are fused together. It's just that although this is the case, the problem is already here. By now, Li Badao had also figured out that if he wanted to develop in the Eternal Realm, it was absolutely impossible to do it according to the current method. It seems that their current development situation is quite powerful, and even the Xuanshi army of the Ancient Kingdom has been severely damaged one after another, but even if it is so, so what.
The foundation of the Eternal Kingdom has not been completely destroyed until now, and this situation is the most important point. You must know that although they have defeated the Mystic Masters of the Ancient Kingdom one after another before, this only proves that their safety in Tianxin City may have been guaranteed, at least it proves that they can develop well in Tianxin City in the future. But when it comes to development, resources are definitely needed. Li Badao understood very well that he didn't have to worry about resources now, because according to Jiang Tian, in the rebel camp in the Eternal Ancient Kingdom, there had never been such a way of development as theirs, let alone giving so many Xuanjing to his subordinates, and sometimes even levied Xuanjing like them. This is who has a harder fist, and some rebels join in to seek protection, since they want to be protected, it should be reasonable to be expropriated with some Xuanjing.
However, this is not the situation that Li Badao wants to see, not that Li Badao is arrogant, but Li Badao understands very well that this is not a normal way of development at all. Although Jiang Tian and Shen Ju both have very rich experience, Shen Ju has rich experience in leading troops, and Jiang Tian has rich experience in fighting with the army of Xuanshi of the Ancient Kingdom, but they don't have an important experience, that is, they don't know how to develop a force, and how to grow a force together, and they must not completely collapse because of one or two defeats.
Li Badao This is not worrying about the sky, this is the situation of the demon hunting army now, the first thing they do is that they will never be able to fight a tough battle, although it is such a statement once it is said. It will make many people in the demon hunting army feel very hurt, after all, in their opinion, they have all practiced the way of battle formation to such an extent, even if it is not good, they will definitely become an iron army, but in Li Badao's eyes, it seems that this is still an army of Xuanshi who have no way to fight a tough battle. The people of the Demon Hunter Army naturally don't have to worry, but the people of the Songshi Army are still very loose. They can now follow themselves with all their hearts. The first thing is that they're winning all the time, and then it's that they're going to be able to get more resources after they win, and that's what these people value most right now.
But what if the resources are gone, but what if they fail, if they fail, they will inevitably face the dilemma that Xuanjing is gone, but even the territory is gone. What else can be expected of those Pine Rock Army people in such a situation. Besides, even if they can do it and don't care about these things at all, can they guarantee that the other Xuanshi who have been recruited will think the same way? The most important point is that they are very small now, but once they increase the intensity of recruitment, although it is not that they cannot be recruited. But then there will definitely be bigger problems.
So now Li Badao just wants to have a healthier development method, which is the third way to obtain resources that Li Badao has been thinking about, which is to control more people. It seems that Li Badao is talking nonsense, but in fact, such a statement is the most important. The people Li Badao is talking about are not just talking about Xuanshi, but also talking about more people. In fact, Li Badao has always been not very optimistic about the existence of Bingcheng, anyway, mortals will not be too dangerous in the war, although it will also be subject to twists and turns, but such a thing is inevitable. Even if many ordinary people are in more worldly cities, if there is turmoil, these ordinary people will definitely be affected. Therefore, Li Badao prefers the kind of development of the Luo Tianjie. It is to find a bigger city, and then gather more ordinary people in the city, or even simply control more cities.
The Xuanshi of the Ancient Kingdom have become accustomed to dividing the worldly city into the military city inhabited by the Xuanshi, but since there is no way to change their fixed ideas now, they should come up with an idea that can be integrated. Under such circumstances, the most wanted method for Li Badao was to control more worldly cities in his hands. In fact, even Shen Ju has ignored a little bit now. It is clear that the Xuanshi are very powerful, and obviously more resources are excavated by the Xuanshi from the ore veins. But why is there always someone who wants to grab more territory, who wants to control more people in their hands? It's not because these bigwigs are sick. It's that they know it's the right thing to do.
Taxation, this is a thing that has been around since ancient times, and it has become a thing that everyone recognizes, so much so that many people have subconsciously ignored this situation. So at this time, Li Badao naturally needed to let the people of the Demon Hunter Army know what the reason for him was doing this.
Only by taking more people into their hands, and then collecting more taxes, can their resources be continuously supplied. When Li Badao first put forward such an idea, in fact, even Lin Hui and the others were full of puzzlement on their faces, after all, even when they were in the Evergreen Realm, they were already used to living in the military city, so even if they knew that there was such a thing as taxes, they never thought about how important these things were.
Looking at their reactions, Li Badao simply calculated an account.
"Come on, let's do it slowly. Li Badao looked at the fact that he was idle, so he simply settled accounts with them: "If we snatch a normal grade Xuanjing vein, such a vein is generally impossible for us to dig to the end, but there is also a problem that even if we send 100,000 people to dig the vein, it is no different from sending 1,000 people, I say right." β
Lin Hui and the others listened very carefully, and after listening, Lin Hui nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, a normal grade of Xuanjing vein can be sent to dig about a thousand to eight hundred people according to the situation, of course, it doesn't have to be a Xuanshi, even ordinary people can dig Xuanjing veins, and it generally takes a thousand people to dig Xuanjing veins, as long as the development is stable, and some problems that are not too bad are removed, about 100,000 high-grade Xuanjing can be harvested a year." β
Listen to Lin Hui's analysis. Li Badao nodded with satisfaction, this is what Li Badao wants. Then Li Badao continued: "Okay, we can look at it this way, generally speaking, if a Xuanshi is given Xuanjing according to the normal remuneration, an ordinary Xuanshi needs about ten high-grade Xuanjing a year. Once there is a big war, it is natural to look at the spoils after the war, right? In other words, if we find a Xuanjing vein and arrange people to guard it, and this Xuanjing vein is indeed well controlled in our hands. So the amount of Xuanjing produced in a year is actually only enough for us to raise 10,000 people, isn't it?"
Lin Hui nodded at first, but then immediately said: "But that's not right, Li Shuai, we don't really want to form a country now, nor do we want to build a Xuanshi army here, why do we want to give Xuanshi Xuanjing to our subordinates like those royal families?" Lin Hui's words were really normal. It's not that he is now the main general, so he thinks that the Xuanshi under his command is not important, but in fact, Lin Hui also understands that they are rebel forces in the final analysis, and the biggest characteristic of the rebel army is that it is difficult for these people to have a stable military spirit, since this is what is the use of giving them more resources, it is better to have more resources in their hands.
And thinking of this, Lin Hui still said: "In fact, there are very few Xuanjing veins, and there is only one together. Generally, it is a mine, and there will be many ore veins in the mine, and there are usually at least three or five veins. β
Li Badao knew that Lin Hui would think so. After all, in fact, these people still think that they are rebels, especially Jiang Tian and them, after all, they are the Xuanshi in the Eternal Realm, in the past many years, they have been rebelling against the Eternal Kingdom in this way, but now. Li Badao didn't want them to keep thinking like this all the time.
"We are here to build a country, though not a complete country. But it must also develop as a country does. We need to form our own army, we need to form our own forces. And let the site develop even more. We need more people, and then collect taxes from them. Li Badao said confidently.
This time, when he heard Li Badao finish speaking, not to mention Jiang Tian, he was very shocked, even Lin Hui and they were already dumbfounded, this kind of thing is really amazing, to form a country, just with their current more than 4,000 people? You know, back then, even when the number of those rebels in Tianxin City had reached tens of thousands, they didn't even think about establishing a country, and such an idea could not even be said to be crazy now.
It's just that these people suddenly realized that after Li Badao said these things, it seemed that they all seemed to see a little hope, and they didn't simply think that Li Badao was talking nonsense.
Seeing that everyone's reaction was quite sober, not blind opposition or blind impulse, this situation made Li Badao more satisfied, and then he continued: "Actually, you have always ignored a problem, that is, the connection between the Xuanjing vein and the people. Jiang Tian, I need to ask you about this, you said that there are many secular cities or military cities in the ancient kingdom. β
"Naturally, there are more worldly cities, and I don't know how many military cities there are in the ancient country, but at least roughly speaking, the ratio of worldly cities to military cities is twenty worldly cities, and there will be one military city. Jiang Tian said.
"Well, that's probably similar to the Luo Heavenly Realm. Li Badao thought about it for a while and said slowly: "If a secular city wants to develop, it is naturally impossible to be completely isolated like a military city, and it naturally needs to be connected with other cities, and even if there is a military city, it must be connected with the military city, because although many ordinary people can't cultivate, at least the things made by the people are also needed by the Xuanshi, so naturally ordinary people can also get some remuneration by doing these things." The reason why Xuanjing is a good thing is because when Xuanjing began to increase, even in the world, people have begun to get used to using Xuanjing no longer with gold and silver. β
Listening to Li Badao's words, Lin Hui and the others nodded in agreement, the situation in their Evergreen Realm was almost like this. At that time, although the city where they were located was a military city, in fact, the military city could not be operated completely by its own way, in fact, many things in the city were supplied by many worldly cities around it. If you think about it carefully, in fact, by sending materials to the military city, the ordinary people in many secular cities have been paid a lot. You must know that there is a huge gap between the Xuanshi and the ordinary people after all, and sometimes the ordinary people do a lot of things with great care, and they may even be just the most inconspicuous existence in the magic talismans used by the Xuanshi, but the consumption rate of such things is extremely fast, so in fact, in many cases, the people in the worldly city do these things, basically when they don't stop.
Just as Lin Hui was thinking about this, Li Badao was still over there and said: " Because the connection between Bingcheng or Xuanshi and the people is inseparable after all, in fact, a stable force, whether it is the country or the princes or wealthy families in our Luotian realm, is actually very willing to treat those ordinary people well, and the rule that you can't kill at will binds many people, but in the final analysis, it's because there are interests to be made, otherwise how can these guys who have already killed red-eyed people listen to any rules and arrangements, you don't know, any country is saying that it can't fight against each other, but who has complied with it, anyway, it's a fight, and a fake apology after the fight is over, If it's unfortunate to directly destroy people, this will even save the apology, and then in the face of the condemnation of other forces, when you are in a good mood, you will say that you have done something wrong, and you don't have to pay attention to it if you are in a bad mood, right. β
Listening to Li Badao say this, Lin Hui and they couldn't help laughing, in fact, they hadn't thought about these things before, but listening to Li Badao's words, looking back and thinking about it carefully, things seem to be really like this, of course this is not Li Badao is grandstanding now, what Li Badao is talking about now is the style of a wealthy family, they know better how to make decisions when needed, and it is the most correct to know how to choose between interests.
In other words, if we control the three military cities, all the worldly cities contained in these three military cities can actually be controlled by us. Of course, you'll say that we need to be strong enough. That's what I'm talking about, as long as we have enough troops, and we don't even need to rely on military cities at all, and can fight people on the plains, then we can keep at least fifty worldly cities. Generally speaking, as long as there is rapid support between the warcities, this can ensure the safety of the warcities. This problem is actually very easy to solve, and you only need to build a few teleportation arrays. β
"Teleportation Array?" Hearing Li Badao's words, Jiang Tian said in surprise: "But the teleportation array is not so easy to establish, even a fifth-order array mage may not be able to do this." "Jiang Tian is a formation mage after all, and he is very aware of the difficulty of this matter that Li Badao said.
Li Badao's attainments in the way of formation are not low at all, and he naturally knows what he is talking about, and he also knows that although he has seen many big guys in the Luo Heaven Realm arrange the teleportation array casually, there are very harsh conditions. First of all, a cross-border teleportation circle must have boundary stones, and secondly, it is really difficult for even a fifth-order array mage to do this.
But in this regard, Li Badao has the greatest confidence, and the source of this confidence is the God of Time and Space. If it is said that other magic circles, the space-time god can't help much, but if it's just a teleportation circle, no one can do it as big as the space-time god can play.
Thinking of this, Li Badao said confidently: "The teleportation circle is very well arranged, you can rest assured, you only need to help me think about where the military city is relatively concentrated, let's go and grab the better military city, and then I will tell you what it means to plunder resources."
