The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

Chapter 252 Duke Reward
Li Jianguo and the others did not wait too long in Berkshire. Two days later, the people who went to spy on the information returned.

According to intelligence, Lucheng attacked Wu Sangui with 7 horses this time, and they were defeated.

Although Li Jianguo was prepared for this news, he was still deeply shocked. After he waved away the soldiers beside him, Li Jianguo also began to think about the next countermeasures.

Not only Li Jianguo, but everyone else was also shocked when they heard the news.

As for Lucheng's identity, these people already understood that it was inconceivable that a modern person could achieve such an achievement.

"After defeating Wu Sangui, Lucheng has already controlled the land of the two counties. I just heard from Captain Liu that the population of these two counties is not small. Even if there are not 1000 million, there are still 900 million people. This kind of number can be called one side. The princes." The speaker was a seminary professor named Li Qingcheng, and while speaking, he wrapped his clothes around his body.

As a northerner, Li Qingcheng was somewhat uncomfortable with the wet and cold weather in Sichuan. In addition, he was getting older and couldn't bear the cold even more.

After hearing Li Qingcheng's emotion, the people around did not answer. After all, the difference in status was too great, even if they wanted to say something, they always felt that they couldn't make sense.

……

When Li Jianguo and his party were still shocked by the news, Lucheng, which was far away in Wuyang City, was not idle.

This attack on Wu Sangui was quite fruitful. Not only did he successfully kill Wu Sangui, but his generals also killed eight people, namely Yang Yizhi, Hu Guozhu, Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, Wang Pingfan, Guo Zhuangtu, Tan Hong, and Wu Zhimao.

Among these generals, only one of them, Yang Yi, is a brave general, and the rest are all brave.

Among the powers of the same level, Wu Sangui's generals are not too few. Including Xia Guoxiang, Ma Bao, Li Benshen, and Gao Dejie who were beheaded last time, the total is 12 people, compared to Wu Sangui who only has three counties. Speaking of it, it is not bad to be able to gather twelve generals.

However, Wu Sangui has a weakness, that is, there are no strong generals or god generals. This is also related to his experience. Since Wu Sangui came to Qianwei's vassal state, he basically has not encountered any big forces. They are all exchanged by some village-level forces. Most of them are the summoning symbols of junior generals.

Compared with Song Jiang encountered in Lucheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the late period, the development of power was too smooth.

Correspondingly, opportunities will naturally be less.

Looking at the corpses on the ground at this time, Lucheng did not exchange them directly. Before that, there were still two big gift packages that had not been claimed.

After unifying Qianwei's vassal state, Lucheng has already occupied the land of the two counties, and according to regulations, its title has also been successfully promoted to the title of duke.

Duke is a title officially recognized by the system, and there are only two people in Yizhou who own it. Besides Lucheng, the other is Liu Zhang, and even Liu Bei is not qualified.

And this time, after being promoted to Duke, Lucheng also received two rewards at the same time, one was a promotion package, and the other was a daily salary (the Duke receives a salary every two months).

Without thinking about it, Lucheng first received the daily salary.

Compared with the previous one, the salary this time is not bad, and its rank also belongs to the second level, that is, special items.

Special Building - Well Salt: It can produce [-] kg of table salt per day.

"Well salt? It's not bad." Looking at the blueprint that suddenly appeared in his hand, Lu Cheng couldn't help but murmur.

In October of the second year of the new calendar, Lucheng once obtained a salt well.

One year and three months have passed since now.

In more than a year, Lucheng has developed from a small force with only two counties and a population of less than 200 million to a prince with a population of nearly [-] million.

Behind the prosperity, there is a shortage of materials, the most typical of which is salt.

In some remote counties, many people have never even eaten salt, and there are not a few cases of death due to this.

For Lucheng, this is also an urgent problem to be solved.

If all the problems are put on the table and ranked one, two, three, then the lack of supplies is definitely the first one.

This is not alarmist talk. This kind of shortage is not only reflected in food, meat, and salt, but even winter clothes are also in short supply.

There are two root causes of all this. One is that the people have been unable to give birth with peace of mind after years of wars, and the other is man-made disasters.

Most of the county towns in Lucheng were taken from Song Jiang. In order to find out the reason why the resentful army became an army, and at the same time to deal with himself, Song Jiang not only massacred the people, but also extorted them violently, causing a lot of land to be abandoned and the people displaced. .

This effect has not slowed down until now.

Nowadays, the gap between rich and poor is very obvious in the entire territory. Wuyang County, Zizhong County, Nan'an County and Niutang County in the north are relatively richer. At least they have no worries about food and clothing, and commerce has gradually developed. However, the five counties in the south have even just been occupied. It will be a lot worse if you become a vassal state.

The common people can barely make ends meet, and the necessities of life such as meat and clothing are also in short supply.

For Lucheng, this is simply a mess.

There are many and complicated problems, and it is difficult to solve them in a short period of time, especially in the three counties of Qianwei's vassal state, which is more troublesome to solve, because aristocratic families are also involved.

Just yesterday, Lucheng had just received a piece of information from the Land Secretary.

The entire Qianwei belongs to the three counties of the country, and most of the land is controlled by those clans, especially Mu Wangfu, which occupies nearly 30.00% of the land in Tanglang County, and directly controls a population of 20!

This is already a bit of a big deal, and when Mu Wangfu attacked Wu Sangui, it also directly helped him. If he turned his face and refused to recognize him, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

But this matter must always be resolved. If it is not resolved, it will directly affect the prestige of Wuyang Law.

Those families who were punished before will definitely feel dissatisfied. If they unite, it will be very troublesome for Lucheng.

Shaking his head, Lucheng couldn't help but think of Yang Xiuqing's suggestion, that is to bring the little princess of Prince Mu's mansion into the mansion.

To be honest, Lucheng is quite curious about this little princess, after all, this is a character in The Deer and Ding Ji.

In fact, not only her, but even Yang Yizhi is also a character from The Deer and Ding Ji.

There are not a few fictional characters like this in this world, and I have quite a few under my command, such as Zhou Cang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Bao Xu, and Cao Zheng all belong to this category.

This is nothing unusual, even if Big Face Bao and Sister Lin appeared in the future, Lucheng would think it was extremely normal.
