The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 325 Tuskrum Progression 2
Zhang Qiang was busy, and Tianci and the members of the Dynasty guild they stayed behind, and the members of the guild who belonged to Zhang Qiang's soldiers were also busy.

They need to patrol and defend Zhang Qiang's entire territory when Lewis and Fang Ziyi are away.

Now they are still carrying out this task. Zhang Qiang's returned troops are quite tired, either wounded or exhausted. Except for a small number of guards of the manor, everyone else is resting.

The task of patrolling Zhang Qiang's territory for ten miles or so can only be entrusted to them. They are not loved by their grandma and uncle. As for them, Zhang Qiang doesn't want to provoke them. The relationship between Tianci and Zhang Qiang is not very good. Individuals are always cold.

So they were handed over to Lesarit to arrange, and Lesarit used them as NPC soldiers.

The whole manor is full of heat, but it has nothing to do with them. They can only patrol the territory outside the manor every day.

Of course, it is impossible to have only them patrolling, as well as the village guards of Tusculum Village.

The escaped villagers came back after Zhang Qiang successfully regained the territory, silently rebuilding their homes on the original site.

Waiting for the enemy to destroy their home again.

With the continuation of the war on the mainland, some refugees, refugees, and adventurers came to the original Tusculum village and settled down here.

Soon, within a week, there were already more than 600 villagers here, who became Zhang Qiang's new citizens.

Because of the patrolling guards, there is a lord with a powerful army sitting in Tusculum. Whether it is fighting with the Kingdom of Swadia, it is at the door of Zhang Qiang's house, and Zhang Qiang's territory, Tusculum Village, comes out. The small lords of the Kujit Kingdom, or the low-level lords of Rhodok who are going around and looting the enemy's village territory, or those of Salander who often appear near the village of Zegasi, fighting against the army of the lords of the Kugit Kingdom. The fiery Salander army, no one wants to turn a very close corner, come over to say hello to Zhang Qiang, and make trouble.

Zhang Qiang's territory of Tusculum Village has become a quiet paradise.

Some Nord caravans and Vikia caravans traveling to and from the Kingdom of Kujit and the Kingdom of Sarande all rested in Zhang Qiang’s Tusculum Village, bringing generous tolls, rest expenses, and ongoing wars news.

In less than two weeks, the population of Zhang Qiang's Tuskrum Village increased by more than 100 people, returning to 800% of the original population, reaching more than [-] people.

According to the latest report by John Johnson, the prosperity of Tusculum Village has changed from uninhabited and luxuriant grass after being robbed to extremely barren, and has recently become barren. According to John Johnson’s estimation, if this If this kind of life continues, Tuskrum Village will be raised to another level and become a very poor village.

And Zhang Qiang's chief steward, think tank, and storyteller Ramosen commented that if this kind of life continues, one month later, his territory will be upgraded to another level, and it will become poor. Every level will increase the population. , The increase in population means that more wealth can be created and more wealth flows. Perhaps in a month and a half, Zhang Qiang will own a large village with 2000 people and an average level of prosperity.

This will be of great help to Zhang Qiang's tax revenue.

The tax in an extremely barren village is only a dozen gold dinars.

The tax of a barren village will amount to thirty or forty dinars of gold.

Very poor villages can provide Zhang Qiang with a tax of [-] to [-] Dinar gold coins.

Poor villages may offer taxes ranging from 150 to [-] dinars in gold.

If it is an ordinary village, it will provide Zhang Qiang with taxes ranging from [-] to [-].

Of course, this is affected by the mainland war and the unimpeded degree of commercial trade in the mainland. If you go to a generally prosperous village, you will be able to move around within five hundred to one thousand in taxes.

If you can open up trade routes and clear up the criminals around you, when there is no war in the countries on the mainland, it is possible that villages with average prosperity will occasionally generate [-] to [-] taxes.

Zhang Qiang just smiled when he heard that, this tax could not even buy a piece of better equipment for one of his cavalrymen.

Of course, the equipment of the lord troops of the various kingdoms in the Calradia continent today is generally not bought, but is captured on the battlefield, issued by senior lords, and gifted by the king.

A piece of good, intact, top-level equipment that has just been built can cost [-] to [-] dinar gold coins at every turn.

And the most elite soldiers of the lords only wear repaired equipment, and they only sell three or four thousand gold coins in stores.A set is only [-] to [-].

Of course, the king has the taxes paid by the various lords, as well as the taxes from his own territory, and his own caravan. The source of funds must be much wider than that of low-level lords like Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang does not rely entirely on tax revenues. One of the great benefits of war is that he can capture and rob others.

You can see poor people like beggars on the mainland of Calradia, wearing commoner clothes, holding bamboo poles and kitchen knives, and they are not even as well-equipped as the Nord pirates. The army of high-ranking lords with shining armor, tall horses, and coming and going like the wind.

After resting for half a month, Manid's caravan finally came back, bringing back the merchants and mercenaries he took away, as well as some knights, servants, soldiers, and huge profits and abundant supplies that Zhang Qiang gave him. .

Inside the manor hall.

Manid was excited for a while, angry for a while, and distressed for a while, with various expressions and movements, he talked about his business experience this time vividly, Zhang Qiang and everyone almost seemed to have experienced it himself.

Even the storyteller Ramosen admired his storytelling ability, saying, "He can get his own job, even if he can't do business, he can also go to the trading city inns and taverns in the kingdoms of Calradia to be a storyteller." people."

Manid dismissed his words, very tactfully mocking him as a poor artist.

The storyteller countered that he was a warrior wrapped in copper stink.

While the real warrior Rolf was carefully cleaning his two longaxes, turning a deaf ear to their words.

Yatiman looked down at his manor design drawings beside him, carefully studying every characterization line.

James held a pig's trotter in one hand, and the doctor's intermediate skill book on healing techniques in the other, and read it carefully.

Simon and Sam looked up at a few people from time to time, then continued to lower their heads to drink and punch, and eat meat.

Wenren Muxue sat there like a well-behaved Japanese woman, playing kung fu tea tricks with Veruga wine and a few kung fu tea sets that Francois made for her with great interest.

That enchanting and moving posture caused Manid, who was giving a speech, to look back frequently.

Francie was carrying a crossbow, a wooden shield, and was holding his sword hilt. He stood at the gate, on the side of two heavy infantrymen of the Swadia Kingdom, staring intently like a guard leader.

Francois is not here, Zhang Qiang doesn't know what he is busy with, he is like a crazy technology madman, frantically studying the whimsical things in his heart that his grandfather passed on to him.

This reminded Zhang Qiang of Ragnar's good brother Floy in a blockbuster movie.

"My lord, are you listening to me?" Manid raised his voice when Zhang Qiang was wandering in the sky.

Zhang Qiang sat on his own unique chair in the hall of the manor, and raised his hand: "Okay, I'm listening, you continue to talk, Manid, my loyal knight!" motioned him to continue talking.

"Well, my lord, after my business trip this time, let me publicize your achievements and legends. This time, whether it is the Vikia Kingdom, the Nord Kingdom, or some small troop territories in Kujit that I have been to this time. , They have not only heard of your reputation, but have deeply remembered you in their hearts. They are all used to you ruling the Tusculum Territory, and hope to come here one day to have a look.

In addition, due to the impact of the war, I also traveled through another hinterland of the Kingdom of Swadia, such as Palaven, Harungosberg, Twarinburg, etc., to promote the rights and correctness of your rule.

When I came back, I passed by the last time we went near Fort Garmitch. The fishermen there also felt that your rule was correct, because you did not harm their villages. They thought it was their luck, maybe it was Where do you think they are your blessed land, where have you fought several battles that shocked the entire continent and defeated your enemies. "

The game ring prompts Zhang Qiang, "Due to the promotion of your hero Manid, your ruling power has once again increased, and now your ruling power is fifteen."

After listening to the tips of the game ring, and continuing to listen to Manid, Manid said distressedly: "Master Lord, this time I am unfortunately, because of the war, the livelihood of the people is dying, the Kingdom of Swadia, and the war with him The economy of the three kingdoms has declined, and the prices of many materials have increased. Due to the war, a lot of weapons and equipment have been flooded, resulting in a reduction in the price of weapons and equipment. A high-ranking lord who used to be armed with 50 gold coins, Or high-level knights, cavalry, now only need 15, which is almost 60.00% lower.

Moreover, this war has continued for two war cycles and there are no signs of ending, which will lead to the continued proliferation of weapons and equipment, and the two kingdoms without war, Nord and Vikia, took the opportunity to import a large amount of weapons to these two regions. Low-priced weapons and equipment may not take long. A knight and cavalry only need [-] to [-] gold coins to equip with weapons and equipment. "

He swallowed, "Perhaps this is a great benefit for weapon merchants, they can make huge profits by dumping large quantities of equipment and weapons, but it is not a good thing for us merchants who rely on transporting supplies , because there are wars everywhere, I haven’t been to Turga for several months, I went to Achemore, where the trade routes are monopolized by Nord and Vikia merchants.”

Tianci came back from patrol outside and stood in a corner, listening to Manid's report and dozing off.

He was not interested in these.

Zhang Qiang was interested in these, because after fighting a few battles, he realized that relying solely on fighting, he would only consume supplies and troops. The status of the Kingdom of Dia.
