Chapter 162: Expansion Blocked

After discussing the price of villa seeds, the atmosphere among everyone suddenly became more pleasant. In the next month, Chi Nan handed over all kinds of business to Lao Muka, and Lao Muka's subordinates also had a special operation team.

At this time, the number of caravans in the territory under the control of Lao Muka had reached several thousand. Again, this is the result of strict selection, otherwise there would have been many more. And Lao Muka's caravan is not without protection at all, Chi Nan has equipped a large number of second-generation pea cannons to Lao Muka, which has strong combat effectiveness, but also has big shortcomings.

It is for this reason that even if Lao Muka's escort is armed, there is an excuse to say when it encounters difficulties from other nobles. The weapons in their hands are not the same as the weapons of the army.

Chi Nan directly quoted the concept of civilianism to silence some nobles who were unhappy with him.

During this month, Chi Nan had almost nothing to do, so he could only continue to study a variety of different plants. Because there are no bronze-level plants for him, Chi Nan can only wait now.

He wanted to go deep into the forest, but now he couldn't leave. Don't look at yourself as having nothing to do, but even if you're just here, it's a needle for the territory.

The development speed of Hongsha City is getting faster and faster, and the city has basically been planned at this time. A lot of civilians were mobilized from the outside to enter it, and now the city of Hongsha City has a population of 300,000, which is much more lively.

The population of the territory outside Hongsha City is also above 300,000, and now the total population has exceeded 600,000. Such a population, within the many noble territories of Remas, can be regarded as very terrifying. And at this moment, there are still many nobles who are constantly sending people to themselves, and these people can be used as currency.

At the same time, the nobles in the alliance also traded a large number of pea cannons and pneumatic cannons from themselves. Later, after having their own report, they were indeed eligible to buy.

Some new lords in the south, in order to protect their territory and not want to lose to the nobles in the north of Remas, can only join the alliance made by Chinan, so they have obtained a large number of weapons and high-quality.

The South was relatively stable, and trade was already beginning to follow the plans of the commercial alliances. Coupled with the entry of many caravans within the empire, the whole of Remas began a period of great development.

Unconsciously, the villa seeds sold by Chi Nan also set off a storm within the Rusyara Kingdom. Now every aristocrat is proud to own a treehouse villa.

It's a pity that the number is too small, and many nobles have no way to get it at all, so they can only wait in line. Today's Hongshaling has almost become a famous brand of Ruimas and a star territory. After this period of expansion, the total number of Remas soldiers has also increased to more than 20,000, which is already very exaggerated.

There are not many people in the whole of Remas who can afford to raise so many soldiers, not to mention that Chi Nan has always given his own soldiers far more treatment than soldiers in other territories, and the cost is even greater.

On the side of Hongshaling, the flow of funds is very huge, and it has begun to show an unusually prosperous scene.

Perhaps because the territory was developing too smoothly, on this day, the matter of self-control finally happened.

A leg that hadn't been back for a long time actually appeared in front of him. "Why are you here, don't you have to continue attacking the surrounding territories? Chi Nan looked at one leg strangely.

One leg handed a map to Chi Nan: "Lord Qiqi, we don't have a chance way to continue to expand now." ”

"Why, isn't the war not over yet?" Chi Nan wondered.

"My lord, the territory around us has been taken down by the coalition forces. Although the territory conquered by the coalition did not belong to the individual, it belonged to the kingdom. We can't touch any of those territories right now. The territory attacked by these coalition forces has surrounded us, and only the southern part belongs to Huangsha Ridge, and now we cannot get out. ”

"If you want to continue to gain territory, you can only participate in the coalition forces, stay away from our territory, and attack a place far away from us. "One leg, this one doesn't dare to call the shots.

"That's the case!" Chi Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, he was sure that this was definitely done on purpose. Otherwise, why would they be surrounded by their own side? You know, the place where you are is very remote.

Being able to knock down all this place can only show that he has been expanding too fast recently, which has attracted a lot of attention and dissatisfaction. It seems that it is time to stop, but I am still a little unhappy in my heart.

"So, how big is our territory now? Chi Nan asked such a question.

One leg didn't want you to think about it, so he said: "My lord, please look at the map, the land we currently control, from here to here, this large area, is ours." One leg happily pointed that it was all knocked down by himself.

"It's so big? Forget it, we don't need to continue to expand, we just need to develop ourselves. These lands will not all be ours in the future. Chi Nan calculated a little, and found that the territory he now controlled was actually the size of three standard counties, which was really an exaggeration.

You know, a county placed in a previous life is equivalent to a large city and its surrounding area, or even the size of several small cities. I don't know if it's because the world is big or because of something else.

But the territory that I can control is large, which is a good thing. "Next, aren't our soldiers not trained enough, let them operate in our own territory in batches. There are quite a few beastmen in our territory. ”

"Lord Qiqi, there are still a lot, and it is good if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to train your troops. Many soldiers have never been on the battlefield, and this is a good opportunity. One leg directly agreed.

"Very well, then I'll leave this to you. All the energy in the rest of the world should be focused on the development of our own territory. Chi Nan waved his hand and let one leg step back.

"My lord, there's one more thing. Miss Hemila asked her subordinates to tell you that the foundation of Red Sand City is almost complete, but you still need to go back to build this important building. This matter cannot be delayed, and if it is not dealt with in time, it will be a blow to the reputation of our territory. ”

What kind of reputation? Chi Nan dismisses this, it is not the kind of aristocrats who show off to each other. It's just that Hermila said it, and Chi Nan thought about it too. Anyway, it's idle to be idle, so it's better to go back and deal with it.
