Chapter 171
Another year of cold wind blows through Xiliang City, the ground is covered with snow, and the treetops in the forest are white-headed. Li Xiang is standing in the center of the tallest building in Xiliang City. The five of them were struggling to survive in the forest, as if it was just yesterday. It was very cold at that time. Li Yi and the others were all wearing linen clothes. Only one of the better clothes was the leather armor that Li Xiang brought. At that time, without the current weapons and equipment, a long spear, an axe, a bow, and a dozen long arrows were all their net worth. Chopping down trees in World of Ice and Snow, fortunately, Jair Wolf brought them some food and fur, but also because Jair Wolf put them in danger. The ominous beast made him restless. As long as the wolves attacked at that time, the city of Xiliang today probably wouldn't exist. The king of the forest, the ominous beast, the black armor beast. , Zhang Qingyun got his life back from this giant beast. Because of the black armored beast, he was still trembling with fear for many days. At that time, he was no longer afraid of the wolves, but facing the top-level ominous beast of the black armored beast, Xiliang City had nothing to do. After Mojia Beast is Iron Mine, Azure Bamboo Village, Xuanshui Village, White Lotus Religion, Black Tiger City, Small Town, Coalition of Six Great Influences, Xuanzhai, Qingjun.... Xiliang As the city goes all the way, there are inevitably enemies. Those who cannot destroy Xiliang City will make Xiliang City even stronger. Today, Xiliang City is no longer afraid of the Great Influences outside the Northwest Pass, and the remaining Great Influences will join forces. , Li Xiang is also confident to break it! "Lord, the generals have arrived at City Lord's Mansion!" said the guards as they approached Li Xiang. Li Xiang retracted his gaze and walked down the stairs to the lobby of City Lord's Mansion. Xiliang City Lord in the hall The generals and officials have already entered the hall. The generals are standing on the side. The generals are led by Li Mu who is guarding Xiliang City, followed by Li Jin, Li Shui, Li Tu, and Li Huo. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth followed by Qiyi, Water, Sword, Spear, etc. The most powerhouses of the major arms in Xiliang City. Li Yi stood on the other side with the civil servants, Li Yi was at the front, Zhang Qingyun stood in the second position as the only one who was not from the headquarters of Xiliang, Zhang Qingyun had no objection from Xiliang in this position. Qingyun can manage the more than 200,000 people in the territory in an orderly manner, which is not something everyone can do well. Behind Zhang Qingyun is Nongyi, the source of Xiliang's food, and behind Nongyi are Tieyi, Muyi, Chuanyi, Li Xiang is a waste of names, and they are named after these people's occupations. Li Xiang sat on the throne, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to Li Xiang. "Let me tell you, our current headquarters in Xiliang City, the number of civilians and soldiers." In the entire Xiliang City, only Li Xiang can see the population of Xiliang City, the number of troops, Li Yi is the Chief Manager of Xiliang City. Every time the population of Xiliang headquarters increases or dies, she has a record everywhere. She is the person who knows the strength of Xiliang City the most except Li Xiang. "Yes!" Li Yi nodded walked out and faced the people in the hall: "The population of Xiliang headquarters is divided into civilians and soldiers. The number of civilians is 80,000, of which 30,000 are peasants, and the rest are distributed in various branches. In various industries. The number of soldiers in Xiliang is 60,000, and there are 7,000 horses. The total number of troops and horses in the headquarters: 140,000 people and 7,000 horses The number of civilians in Xiliang is 215,000 More than 1,000 people, distributed in Azure Bamboo Village, Beixuan City, and Nanli City. Seventh Army: 5,000 people, Eighth Legion: 2,000 people. In addition to these civilians, there are 40,000 slaves People.Total total: more than 262,000 people, among which the population of Loufan City and Extreme Demon City have not been calculated." After Li Yi finished reporting, he said to Li Xiang: " My lord, the report is over!" Li Xiang nods, Li Yi returns to the team, Zhang Qingyun hears the structure of Xiliang, browsers tightly knit, the structure of Xiliang City is very problematic, he manages the 20th of the non-department. 10,000 people, he knew very well that the value created by non-commoners in Xiliang City was only enough to support them. The soldiers of the headquarters of Xiliang and the soldiers of the seventh and eighth Legion all need the 80,000 peasants in Xiliang City to support them. The Seventh Army regiment will expand to 20,000 people in the winter. The same is true for the Eighth Legion, but Xiliang City The total strength of the army will reach 100,000 troops. Eighty thousand peasants in the headquarters of Xiliang need to feed 1.2 soldiers! This structure is not reasonable at all! Li Xiang didn't notice the change in Zhang Qingyun's face, looked at the man below: "We have experienced a lot this year, those things that didn't knock us down have become our nourishment and made us stronger, The sites outside the Northwest Pass on 2/3/2022 are all in my Xiliang City, next year I want the entire Northwest Pass to become the territory of my Xiliang City!" He said looking towards Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth 5 Man: "I promised you that the five of you will build your own Legion. Before the lack of troops, but now the supplies and troops are sufficient, I will give each of you 5,000 people, 10,000 taels of silver, and 500 war horses. If you don’t want war horses, one war horse can be exchanged for two people or one hundred taels of silver.” Hearing Li Xiang’s words, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth all showed joy in their eyes, they had long been They wanted to lead the troops to fight, but before Xiliang City needed them to guard everywhere, their Avatars were weak, and they didn't have many troops in their hands. "many thanks lord!" The five saluted Li Xiang, behind them Shui Yi, Qi Yi and the others did not show any envy in their eyes, they preferred the aspirations of several generals They are under the lord, and they are in charge of an army. Aren't they in charge of an army now? The cavalry and the navy are all under their control. Li Xiang nodded and continued: "I'll give you five months to train the troops. After five months, that is, around April next year, the Southern Desolate field will be the time to test your troops. Come back to guard the city of Xiliang!" The joy in the eyes of the five people subsided, the five of them came out to lead the army to fight, but they did not want to be a guarding general, their ambition was to expand the territory of the city of Xiliang. Li Xiang knew that the structure of the peasants and soldiers in Xiliang City is very problematic, and said to Li Yi: "I will recruit another 60,000 people, 25,000 people will be handed over to five of them, and the remaining 35,000 people The people will be handed over to you, arrange them yourself." "Yes!" Li Yi replied. Li Xiang looked towards Nong Yi: "Nong Yi, I tried to grow rice in the northern wilderness before, but I don't know how it turned out?" Nong Yi stood up: "Master Hui, most of the farmland was destroyed when the Qing army attacked, There are only some remote areas where the land is even worse. When harvesting crops after the war, I found that the output of the farmland in the wilderness is not worse than that here. About one mu of land can harvest four stone of grain. If you take more careful care, the output will still be A little higher." Zhang Qingyun listened from the side, it felt as if he was listening to Heavenly Book, what the lord just said was planting crops in the wilderness? Nong Yi also said that one mu of land can produce four stones of grain? Zhang Qingyun until now thought that all the food in Xiliang City passed through the outside and was transported in through a secret passage, just like the Qing Army, but Li Xiang's words completely shocked him. Li Xiang nods: "After a period of time, when the slaves of Loufan and Jimocheng are delivered, they will reclaim the North Wilderness. I want to make the North Wilderness a food production area for our Xiliang City. The land exchange on the other side of the lake camp is the same, are you confident?"Nong Yi said firmly: "Please rest assured, lord, as long as there are enough materials, it will not be a problem to turn the northern wilderness into a farm next to the giant lake camp. ” It is really not a problem for Xiliang farmers to turn the northern wilderness into farmland. Without water, they can build a mill. The mill in Xiliang City is not an ordinary building. The groundwater is used to irrigate farmland. As long as there are enough manpower, Nongyi can turn the North Wilderness into the granary of Xiliang City. "When the time comes, I will give you enough food!" Li Xiang counted his manpower: "When the time comes you can take 10,000 farmers from the headquarters to the North Wilderness, and I need to see the results in the shortest possible time. ." "Yes!" Nong Yi took the order. Li Xiang looked towards Zhang Qingyun, who was a little sluggish. This was the first time Zhang Qingyun attended the meeting of Xiliang headquarters. He didn't understand what Li Xiang said. "Qingyun!" "Here!" Zhang Qingyun hit a shivered, and arched his hands forward. "The number of non-headquarters soldiers in Xiliang is more than 215,000. After the two cities of Loufan and Jimo join in, the number of non-headquarters soldiers will reach about 250,000. Continuing to rule with the previous control method will cause great chaos. I plan to separate city defense and public security management from government affairs. You are in charge of government affairs, and the eighth Legion is in charge of city prevention and security. How do you feel?” Zhang Qingyun, as the Chief Manager of the non-headquarters of Xiliang City, controls the local security management rights such as Beixuan City, Nanli City, Azure Bamboo Village, etc., and the number of soldiers he can control reaches about 10,000. Li Xiang This change is to deprive Zhang Qingyun of the armed forces. Zhang Qingyun said with a smile: "My lord, this can make your subordinates a lot easier, but at present there are very few officials available outside the customs, and there is a lack of supervisors in various places. If there is no military suppression, will those people make trouble?" The reason why several cities under Xiliang City are very safe is the suppression of Xiliang soldiers. If there is no suppression by Xiliang soldiers, there will be many problems with the rebellious character of those people. "So I'll give you three months. After three months, the eighth Legion will be successfully formed. When the time comes, I will let the eighth Legion cooperate with you. If anyone really dares to move or cause trouble, There are many places in Xiliang City that are short of manpower!" Li Xiang knew that you had to use hard measures against those outside the Northwest Pass, they were ruthless, and you were more ruthless than them. Xiliang City dares to offend even the Great Wall Legion and Profound Heaven Sect, how many people still dare to kill? Li Xiang has lost count of the people who died at the hands of Li Xiang. His hands are already covered in blood, and he doesn't mind getting more. "Yes!" With Li Xiang's affirmation, Zhang Qingyun responded loudly, the political system of Xiliang City should also be changed, which will involve a lot of interests, and Zhang Qingyun can't take care of it. The lord is determined to redefine a new political system. If he stands in the way of the New Deal, he will be thrown aside. Those who made their fortunes by relying on Xiliang City, if they dare to lead the way, Zhang Qingyun will clean it up ruthless. Li Xiang continued: "In about a month or so, those guys in the West will come again. Before, they sent a few people to trade with them at will. Now that Xiliang is on the right track, then these should be more formal, and take off from Tengfei. The Chamber of Commerce communicated with him that all kinds of products promoted by the Western world have been transported to the Juhu Camp." "Yes!" At the end of the battle, Li Yi and his party, a man who was much thinner than the body of the headquarter of Xiliang He stood up and said that he is one of the few talents who can do business in Xiliang City. If Xiliang City didn't need a Chamber of Commerce, Li Xiang would have put him outside to work with Zhang Qingyun. The things outside the Northwest Pass were almost the same, Li Xiang looked towards Qiyi and Jianyi: "The dark fortress is used as a training ground, and there will be more than 30,000 recruits stationed in the future. After you go back, let people clean it out. From a place, the two sides of the fortress can also establish a secondary city guarding the fortress, as a garrison place, so that even if the civilians of the dark world enter the fortress, some secrets will not be exposed." Jian Yi stood up and said: "My lord, if With 30,000 recruits stationed, the number of fallen demons around the fortress cannot meet the needs of the army, can we lead the troops to the frozen plain, or further afield for training?" Dark Fortress and Xiliang City side The distance is very far, the dark world is changing rapidly, when the time comes and there are some things that want to make a request, you will lose a lot of opportunities. Li Xiang said: "There is nothing wrong with military orders outside the generals, you can judge for yourself as an army commander." "Yes!" Hearing Li Xiang's words, Jian Yi and the others showed smiles on their faces . "That's all I'm going to say, Qingyun stays, let's go and get busy!" Li Xiang has finished what he has to say, and the remaining details are assigned by the heads of their respective departments. The busiest is Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi. As for the army, Li Xiang has already been allocated before, only Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth five troops are to be formed, the other troops remain the same. Li Yi's carpenters, construction workers, etc. all want to make new arrangements, which are related to all aspects of Xiliang City. Soon only Li Xiang and Zhang Qingyun were left in the hall. Li Xiang greeted Zhang Qingyun's doubtful eyes, said with a smile: "I'm very confused, what are you doing down here, look at the wall behind me!" Put down the huge animal skin, and use black ink to draw the terrain outside the Northwest Pass. The location of each Great Influence is very detailed. The most striking is a river marked with red, which is the trend of the water source of Xuanshui Lake. , all the way to the inside of the big stem. Zhang Qingyun looked at it for a while and said, "My lord, do you want to open up the river channel between the northwest gate and the northwest land of Dagan?" The water potential of Xuanshui Lake entering the northwest land is very large, which can accommodate navy warships Driving, but there are many reefs along the way, and some places with a large water level drop. If you want to connect to the rivers in Dagan, you want to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to open this natural channel. Li Xiang turned around and looked at the waterway: "It is difficult to travel by land, then we will take the waterway." "I need about 5,000 people to dredge the waterway with the sailors. These 5,000 people need to be kept secret, you go back之后组织起来，开春就南下开道!” 张青云nodded ：“属下会准备好人手!”
