After the military parade in Wuwei, Li Tan returned to Shazhou with his cronies.
Xu Jun naturally followed Li Tan back to the staff headquarters, but Du Hongjian insisted on following Xu Jun back to the staff headquarters. He wanted to see how the staff team trained the elite troops of Longyou.
Li Tan could only accept Du Hongjian's request with a smile, and watched Du Hongjian pull out all the senior regiments of the Shuofang Army, under the pretext of visiting and learning the advanced experience of the staff training, and left the Shuofang Army in Wuwei.
.
Xu Jun also understood at this moment that Du Hongjian deliberately took the officers to the staff headquarters to study in order to hand over the military power of Shuofang Army.
The wisdom of these indigenous people is really not low!
Xu Jun sighed and returned to Shazhou with Du Hongjian.
Li Tan also gave Du Hongjian full courtesy. After all, Du Hongjian took the initiative to surrender and readily handed over his military power.
Li Tan rewarded Du Hongjian with a residence in Shazhou, and at the same time asked Du Hongjian to serve as a consultant for the newly established army school. He also rewarded Du Hongjian with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
The group returned to Shazhou in a grand manner, and Li Tan also received January's settlement.
"The settlement report has been generated, please check the host:"
[Control the Beiting Protectorate: 400 points per month]
[Affect Anxi Protectorate: 200 points per month]
[Affect Mobei Grassland: 400 points per month]
[Infiltrating Lingzhou: 200 points per month]
[Penetration of Pinglu: 200 points per month]
[Jisui Tuyuhun: 300 points per month]
[Included with Tu Shi Qi: 200 points per month]
[Jisui Modong Grassland: 200 points per month]
[Construct Tongliao City: 100 points per month]
[Contribute almanac: 2000 points]
[Shuofang’s army surrenders: 2000 points]
[Joint military exercise: 500 points]
[Infiltrating Silla: 500 points]
[A total of 9,400 luck points were added, and the remaining luck points in December were 630. The host currently has 10,030 luck points.]
Suddenly rich!
The last time the Zhengdan Dynasty held an almanac ceremony and conducted military exercises in Wuwei City, Li Tan made a lot of money. Sure enough, he had to make big moves if he wanted to get rich!
Looking at the 10,000 luck points in his hand, Li Tan felt that his back was hardening.
Infiltrating Silla?
The player has actually arrived in Silla?
Li Tan quickly opened the memorabilia in the game and saw the video of Su Xing arriving in Silla on a clipper ship and intimidating the governor of North Silla Province to recruit civilians for Dahang City.
After casually awarding Su Xing an achievement reward, Li Tan said to the system:
"System, summon three thousand new players."
[As you wish, there are currently 14,817 players in the game.]
Suddenly there were 3,000 more players, which greatly increased Li Tan's sense of security. As his territory expanded, more and more new players were needed.
Player officials are needed at the grassroots level, player soldiers are needed in the army, and even the profits turned over by player merchants are an important financial source for the governor's government.
Although there are already more than 14,000 players, Li Tan still feels that manpower is tight. The players are really useful!
After issuing test qualifications to new players, Li Tan began to think about Longyou's development plan.
First of all, it is naturally a grand detour strategy. As long as Yuguan can be captured, Pinglu can close the door and develop, cut off the escape route when Shi Siming and his son rebelled, and avoid the huge turmoil caused by Shi Siming and his son in history.
In addition to the grand detour strategy, development into the Guansai is also an important direction.
Du Hongjian's return allowed Lingzhou to be integrated into Longyou's territory.
Lingzhou’s location is very important, located in Hetao
Lingzhou in the region is a barrier against the invasion of northern nomads. Relying on the defense system of the Yinshan Mountains and the Yellow River, the Central Plains dynasty that controls the Hetao area can block the passage of grassland civilization southward.
In the later Song Dynasty, there was no Hetao as a barrier, so it was necessary to build a huge fortress defense system from Taiyuan to Bianjing, which was a waste of troops and money and had little effect.
Occupying the Hetao can pose a threat to Guanzhong, and at the same time, it can also threaten Shi Siming's home base of Taiyuan Prefecture.
Therefore, controlling Lingzhou plays a huge role in Longyou, and it also opens the door for Hexi elites to enter the Central Plains.
The strategic significance of Lingzhou is not unimportant. With the players' early work in Lingzhou and Du Hongjian's attitude, the Governor's Office should be able to take over Lingzhou soon.
A server-wide announcement appeared in front of all players.
"The test qualification No. 01 of the first year of Qianyuan has been issued. The number of test qualification numbers issued this time is 3,000. Players who need to redeem the test qualification should complete the redemption today."
"The new player spawn and resurrection points added this month are as follows:
Lingzhou City: Old players can bind Shuofang City as the resurrection point. For new players with certain game experience, it is recommended to use Shuofang City as the birth point.
Daxing City: Old players can bind Daxing City as their resurrection point. Due to the difficulty of survival, it is not recommended for new players to use Daxing City as their spawn point."
"The clipper ship designed and manufactured by the player Su Xing achieved the player's first cross-sea voyage to the Nampo Port of Silla, and obtained the achievement - Flying Voyager!"
"Player Su Xing received the corresponding professional experience reward, the epic title - Navigation Pioneer, and the corresponding forum badge!"
"The navigation system has not yet been fully opened. Going to sea is risky, so players should be cautious."
At this time, Li Daoyuan, who was visiting the shipyard of Jianghuai Shipping Division, raised his head. He did not expect that some players had already completed the cross-sea voyage. Sure enough, among the players, there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there were players going to sea so quickly.
Although he did not have the achievement of his first cross-sea voyage, Li Daoyuan was not discouraged. He was not an achiever who collected achievements.
But judging from the system announcement, Li Daoyuan noticed this sentence - "The navigation system has not yet been fully opened."
What do you mean, it means that there is a navigation system in the game, but currently the navigation system is still fully open to all functions.
That means my guess is correct, this game has nautical elements!
It doesn't matter if it's not completely open. Anyway, Li Daoyuan doesn't want to drive the ship himself, he just needs someone to take him out to sea.
This also shows that Li Daoyuan's guess is correct, there is also a "map" of the overseas "map" of Datang Fengyun!
A real world of the Tang Dynasty! Li Daoyuan was even more excited, maybe he could really start an era of exploration!
You have to hurry up!
Li Daoyuan looked at the sailboat being built, and his desire to sail on the sea became even stronger.
Navigation immediately became the hottest topic in the forum. Players who knew some navigation knowledge were busy building their presence, and navigation-related information was constantly being transferred to the forum.
In Yangzhou City, Gao Shi, the Jianghuai Jiedu envoy, and his subordinates stood at the gate of Dongguan City to greet the newly arrived Jiangnan Salt and Iron Envoy Yuan Zai.
The position of Salt and Iron Envoy, established for Wu Qi, has now become a position that the world's financial ministers compete for.
The Jiangnan Salt and Iron Envoy manages the Jiangnan Salt Institute and is responsible for the entire Jiangnan Salt Tax.
Since Wu Qi reformed the salt industry, the imperial court has achieved a monopoly on the salt industry by controlling the salt fields that produce salt.
Both the poor and the rich have to eat salt, and the salt tax is actually a disguised head tax.
Using salt as a tax and integrating the tax into the salt that the people needed, Wu Qi successfully collected a large amount of salt tax from Jiangnan.
When Wu Qi left Jiangnan, salt monopoly had been implemented in eastern Zhejiang, Ganzhou and other places, further expanding the scope of salt tax.
In addition to controlling salt fields, Wuqi also established a large number of salt patrols to combat illegal salt trade.
Once people are found engaging in the illegal salt trade, the Touring Institute can immediately kill them.
To intimidate other people.
The position of the Salt and Iron Envoy had many officials of the Salt Academy under his command. He also controlled the armed force of the Touring Academy, and was responsible for handling the increasingly huge salt tax of the imperial court.
The position of Salt and Iron Envoy is now the most sought-after position in Jianghuai.
The seat of the Yantie Envoy was the same as that of the Gao Shi Jianghuai Jiedu Envoy, both in Yangzhou City.
Although the positions of the Jianghuai Jiedushi and the Yantieshi were not subordinate, the Jiedushi was appointed by the emperor and was responsible for the commander-in-chief of the Jieduzhen.
The Salt and Iron Envoy was the minister responsible for coordinating the collection of Jianghuai salt taxes. Although he was an official in the Ministry of Revenue, he was personally appointed by the emperor.
Therefore, the official positions of the two are almost parallel. Gao Shi personally went out of the city to greet Yuan Zai because he attached great importance to the position of Jiangnan Salt and Iron Envoy.
The previous Jiangnan Salt and Iron Envoy Wu Qi has been promoted to Duzhilang, which is an important position known as the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. He will also have the opportunity to enter the political affairs hall in the future.
Moreover, the imperial court has issued a new edict stating that important positions in the imperial court must be held at the grassroots level. This also shows that this position of Yantiejiang will soon become the pre-position of Dozhiro.
Duzhilang is in charge of the budget and allocation of the world's finances, and is an important position in charge of the money bags of the world. Gao Shi welcomed Yuan Zai in order to make good friends with the future Duzhilang.
"Gao Jiedu!" Yuan Zai rode his horse and saw Gao Shi standing at the gate of the city. In Yangzhou City, the only one who could wear a vermilion official robe was Gao Shi, the Jianghuai Jiedu envoy.
Yuan Zai quickly got off his horse, walked quickly to the city gate, and bowed to Gao Shi.
Gao Shi came over and helped Yuan Zai up, and said with a smile: "Yuanzhangyuan has worked hard along the way. Today Gao held a banquet at the Jiedushi Mansion to welcome Yuanzhangyuan!"
Yuan Zai quickly thanked him, and both parties happily entered Yangzhou City.
At the same time, Wang Yadong, a player from Wangfu Bank Luoyang Branch, worked hard and finally arrived in Yangzhou City.
Wang Yadong was Jiang Lun's subordinate and was originally scheduled to build a Wangfu Bank branch in Luoyang.
However, after Li Daoyuan presented the trading method to Gao Shi, Jiang Lun searched for a long time in the Central Plains. Only Wang Yadong, an economics enthusiast, was the closest to Yangzhou and had also done economic work for a period of time, so he shared the task with Wang Yadong.
