Chapter 1289 Eliminate the risk of sudden death, human belief in victory
The family has so many resources, which is good for building a city. There is indeed a need for a city to the west of the colony, which will echo Yuling City.
However, Luo Yu rejected the proposal after careful consideration.
A city cannot be built just by finding an open space. It requires industrial support to create jobs. Only with jobs can there be economic benefits.
The reason why Yuling City can accommodate 600,000 people is because it covers 8 resource points.
After thinking about it, Luo Yu temporarily gave up the plan to build a new city, and instead decided to expand the mechanized troops. In this war, robots and tanks showed great power, especially the robots, which could climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground, and their firepower was not as good as tanks.
, but its combat effectiveness is superior to more than one.
After a while, Luo Yu arrived at the robot production center.
The money from the small treasury must be used to cultivate immortality in the future. The national treasury currently has 10 million assets. No one would have any objection to spending 2.5 million to build 250 robots, right?
Luo Yu directly clicked on the construction list. The total cost is: 2.5 million Tiandao coins, 50 million iron ore, and 1.25 million basic leather.
If nothing is said, just make it!
"Kakakaka..."
All production lines in the machinery factory began to operate, and the full treasury was reduced by 1/4 on the spot.
Money is meant to be spent. The more troops you have, the more money you can grab. It doesn't hurt at all.
Leaving the dreamy sea of flowers, Luo Yu walked into the portal and appeared above the Goling Plain a moment later.
At present, my territory reaches the air wall of the Miasma Mountains in the south, and the third branch of the Goring in the north. The westernmost building is Xiaolin City, and it reaches the mountains to the east. Over the mountains to the east is the highest point of the Goring Plain.
The eastern area is almost close to the Great Goblin Forest.
From an overview of the territory, the colony currently covers an area of 55,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the combined area of several prefecture-level cities in China. With only 600,000 people in this vast land, four cities are obviously not enough.
There are currently no new resources to support the construction of the city. If Luo Yu wants to completely control this land, it is unrealistic to rely solely on a few hundred men and tanks from the reconnaissance battalion to patrol there.
If you want to completely control this land, after thinking about it, you come to two conclusions.
First: Build village farmland so that the land is dotted with villages.
Second: Build militarized bunkers, place bunkers and watchtowers at intervals, and let a squad of soldiers garrison them. If enough bunkers are built, they can be effectively controlled.
After Luo Yu thought about it, the second method was better.
The village lacked fighting power, and it was too dangerous in the wilderness, and the danger came from the Miasma Mountains behind it. Before completely defeating the demon king in the Miasma Mountains, Luo Yu felt that it was better for the population to be concentrated in the city.
Clicking on the building page, Luo Yu looked at the bunker options and finally chose [Sturdy and Thick Bunker].
This kind of bunker is basically made of stone and does not cost a lot of iron ore. It is as thick as its name and cannot be broken easily. With the architectural shield of the Starlight Goddess, it can still hold up for a while even if it suddenly faces a beast tide or enemy group.
[Sturdy and thick castle: 200,000 stone bricks, 2,000 iron ore, 300 copper ore]
Click OK, and a light flashes below, and a black ring-shaped building appears, a bit like an upside-down stone bowl. It covers a small area, only three to four hundred square meters.
Soldiers usually lived inside this "stone bowl". When defending against enemies, they could climb onto the platform and shoot arrows.
Luo Yu also built a wooden watchtower on the platform of the "Stone Bowl". In this way, a small bunker capable of stationing troops was completed.
Luo Yu was very satisfied with the fact that he usually stood guard and watched, but when nothing happened, the surrounding land could also be used by the soldiers to farm and make some military supplies.
In the following time, he began to build this type of bunker non-stop. Anyway, there were plenty of stone bricks, so just use them and that's it!
We worked until late at night, and built a total of 100 such bunkers throughout the colony. As long as the soldiers were stationed, they could completely control every inch of the colony. It only cost 20 million stone bricks, just a drizzle.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Yan and other generals were overjoyed to learn that so many new bunkers had been built on the plain, and under Luo Yu's order, they began to move soldiers in batches.
At noon, after lunch, Luo Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xiao Ling, and Shuang'er were walking on the streets of the capital. Nowadays, the outer city is quite prosperous. During the lunch break, women chatted in groups and children laughed.
To have fun, the men would get together to play chess, go to the gym, or whatever.
When everyone saw Luo Yu and the others approaching, they all saluted and said hello. Luo Yu naturally nodded with a smile on his face.
Along the way, Luo Yu found that many people were exchanging food, cloth and other daily necessities privately. He couldn't help but think: "Kong Ming, now that we have a population of one million and two big cities, we should consider currency."
"Do you have any ideas?"
Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this and said: "Chairman, regarding currency, I do have some ideas. Nowadays, people are bartering in private, and the items exchanged are all the food, clothes or household items we distribute.
It’s really inconvenient to have items like this.”
"My subordinates believe that special minting bureaus for gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins can be established to gradually issue these three currencies."
Luo Yu nodded in approval: "Then how will we deliver the coins into the hands of the people?"
"Military pay, monthly payment."
Zhuge Liang said: "The territory can appropriately distribute military pay to soldiers, provide some monthly supplies to the people, and at the same time reduce the monthly distribution of materials, and let the people take the initiative to use coins to purchase these materials. Once they come and go, I think the currency will naturally circulate."
"Salary?"
The corner of Luo Yu's mouth twitched. He and Yu Meng discussed this matter. Neither of them was willing to pay wages to the people. But now with the expansion of population, the demand for commodity consumption and other things, this has become a problem.
It's urgent.
Luo Yu also knows very well that only by issuing currency can the market become more prosperous and everyone will work harder to make money. This is an important link in the transition to a market economy.
After a moment of silence, Luo Yu nodded and said: "What Kong Ming said is absolutely true. Starting today, we will start planning to establish Yucheng Bank to issue currency specifically, and issued a notice that all currencies will be linked to grain, so that they can use it with confidence."
