Chapter 2064 Ascension, will you become the God of Wealth
We continued chatting until lunch, and this small meeting in Yuling Xiaozhu was finally over, and everyone prepared separately.
As for Yu Muqing, she is not from the same continent and cannot form a team. Luo Yu will send her the spirit of the meeting in the form of email.
In the afternoon, Luo Yu and Zhuge Liang took a walk together. The two strolled in the bustling Uzhi City. Wherever they went, the people saluted and said hello.
After chatting and walking all the way, Luo Yu finally learned about the current war situation.
After a round of fierce fighting, the entire Goring Plain has basically been included in the territory. The eighteen tribes of the Wolf Pack Alliance, except for the Hobmeat tribe, have all captured it and are dividing their troops to garrison.
While the two were talking, they unknowingly walked into a quiet bamboo forest in the inner city. Zhuge Liang was still dressed in a feather fan and scarf. He gently shook his feather fan and asked: "Chairman, the newly occupied tribe has obtained a lot of resources, mostly stone.
, iron ore and other basic resources.”
"Should we still apply the template of Starlight City to build the city?"
Luo Yu was stunned when he heard this, rubbed his nose and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. I will use the template to start construction later."
"By the way, Kong Ming has conquered such a large territory. How much will the population increase? Will the civilian and military generals be enough?"
Hearing Luo Yu's question, Zhuge Liang showed a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Thanks to Chairman Hong Fu, after the war, more than 90% of the population of each tribe remained. My subordinates roughly estimate that there will be at least 5 million new people."
"Our civil servants have good political capabilities. One tribe only needs seven or eight civil servants. The number of officials is sufficient."
"It's just that the number of troops is insufficient. My subordinates are about to report whether we should use the one-in-fifty method to recruit troops?"
The so-called "one out of fifty" refers to the ratio between soldiers and civilians. Out of 50 civilians, one will be selected as a soldier.
Luo Yu pondered for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said: "If the new population is added, the population of our territory will reach 7.5 million. With many cities and countless enemies around us, the traditional conscription plan must be overturned."
"In this way, in addition to students, we will adopt the method of drawing one out of ten to expand the army to more than 500,000 as soon as possible. Combining the Yaksha Battalion and the Mechanical Battalion, the combat unit will be no less than 700,000, so as to ensure peace of mind."
"this……"
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Chairman, if you draw one out of fifteen, you will be accused of being militaristic by future generations. If you draw one out of ten, your subordinates are afraid there will be public resentment."
"Furthermore, our soldiers are so powerful that even ten of them are not enough to describe their bravery. Do you want to think about it again?"
Luo Yu looked at Zhuge Liang's slightly anxious look and knew that he was thinking about the country and the people, but after all, he had historical limitations.
Patting Zhuge Liang's shoulder lightly, Luo Yuwen said: "Kong Ming, we have to break away from traditional thinking. The world of Heaven is no better than our old world. It is true that the soldiers are more effective in combat, but our people are also more efficient in their work.
"
"With various special buildings and the frequent Action Frenzy buff, the combined work efficiency is close to 500%. One person can be as powerful as five people."
"If you include this data, wouldn't it be equivalent to about one in fifty?"
"In addition, the troops can also engage in production and fight during the day, and they can also set up vegetable fields at night. That's how it was decided."
"yes……"
Zhuge Liang seemed to be still worried. When Luo Yu saw this, he seemed to have thought of something, and laughed and said: "I know that raising troops is not easy and costs a lot of money and food. In this way, I asked the bank to allocate 10 million to the national treasury."
"You can feel free to recruit troops boldly."
Hearing that the money had been deposited into his account, Zhuge Liang immediately turned from worry to joy, bowed deeply and said: "The chairman serves the country and the people, and is a rare benevolent king in the world."
"That's right. Those newly joined subordinates are essentially prisoners. There is no need to treat them so well."
Luo Yu chuckled, helped Zhuge Liang up, and said with a smile: "Draw up a plan as soon as possible and give it to Ling'er. After she sees it and signs it, we can implement it."
"You go about your business, I'll go see the colony and relax."
"Yes, I will take your orders."
After Zhuge Liang sent Luo Yu into the portal, he hurriedly prepared a new recruitment plan.
Goring Plain.
On the vast plain, a large city stands majestically. This is the capital of the Hobmeat Tribe, and it is also the last isolated city of the Wolf Pack Alliance.
This city is vast in area, more than twice as big as the cities of other tribes. The city walls are high and thick. The city walls are densely covered with all kinds of elemental weapons. Hundreds of airships are hovering in the sky, showing strong combat power.
However, such a powerful combat force is still surrounded by various armies in Uzhi City and is in danger.
On the top of a hill outside the city, Luo Yu, Wei Yan, Yang Zaixing, and Qi Shalan stood on a high place, looking at the city not far away.
Behind them, dozens of machines stood guard. These machines were sent to protect Wei Yan and other senior officials from being assassinated by hunters.
In the early autumn, everything was withering for the first time. The mountain wind swept the fallen leaves and blew past Luo Yu's ears. He looked at the city in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Yang Zaixing, if I understand correctly, you led a tank battalion in a charge yesterday, and two hundred tanks were damaged as a result, right?"
"Yes... the general will die."
Yang Zaixing knelt down on the ground in shame. Wei Yan beside him also looked ashamed and did not dare to raise his head.
Qi Shalan glanced at Yang Zaixing who was kneeling, took half a step forward, and said with a wry smile: "Chairman, I have already investigated clearly. In order to delay our advance as much as possible, the Nijia Province and the Fairy Forest have mobilized two thousand elements.
The cannons are all concentrated in the city."
"These elemental cannons have a long range and powerful firepower. General Yang failed to check for a while and then retreated. Fortunately, there were no casualties."
Hearing this, Luo Yu's expression softened slightly. Yang Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Qi Shalan gratefully.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Yu hummed: "Even so, tanks don't cost money to build, right?"
"Didn't I leave the mechanical tribe to you? Why don't you use them?"
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other and swallowed secretly. No one dared to answer.
"Um?"
Luo Yu said displeased: "Yang Zaixing, what do you think is going on?"
Yang Zaixing was agitated again when he was called. He quickly stood up and stood at attention. After sorting out his thoughts, he whispered: "You have been out for the past few days and have not returned. The mobilization rights for all mechanical battalions rest with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"My subordinates heard that the princess was busy with bank matters, so they didn't dare to disturb..."
"Yes, what General Yang said is absolutely true. The three generals originally thought that they would not need a mechanical battalion to build a small city. It would cost energy to mobilize. On the treasury side, Mr. Kong Ming also..."
Wei Yan followed Yang Zaixing's words and added, but when he saw Luo Yu looking at him with a half-smile, his voice became quieter and quieter.
