After Zhou Yunfei made arrangements for Seth City, he set off back to Dragon City.
After half a year of development, Dragon City's population has increased to 80,000. Among them, the number of citizens is 43,000, and the rest are civilians.
Zhou Yunfei, who returned to Longcheng Mansion, had no time to rest, so he summoned Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
"My lord, I have gained a lot from this trip." Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yunfei who was calm and reserved, and waved the feather fan in his hand with satisfaction.
In just half a year, Zhou Yunfei experienced the changes in Seth City, the decisive battle in Mok City, and the undercurrents in the Imperial Capital, especially the changes he encountered when he came back. Zhou Yunfei matured, and with his forward-looking appearance, he also became
Like a sheathed sword, it gives people a dull feeling.
It's hard to imagine that a fourteen-year-old face gives people the illusion of being increasingly invisible.
Especially the firm look in his eyes made Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong nod their heads.
"People have to learn to grow up. It's just that the price has to be high or low." Zhou Yunfei was filled with emotion when he recalled his cynical and casual attitude when he first came here.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Zhou Yunfei gathered his mood and discussed the situation in Dragon City with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
The three of them kept talking about the setting sun, and when Zhou Yunfei saw that it was getting late, they ended there.
Zhou Yunfei gained a lot from this discussion. As Zhuge Liang said, the entire continent is full of contradictions. As long as one point breaks out, the rest of the hidden chaos will plunge the entire Rus continent into war again.
However, this is the best opportunity for Longcheng.
Thinking about this, Zhou Yunfei gradually fell asleep.
...
"Hey, Brother Ergou, it's so early and you're buying wine for Sister Tong and her father!" In a restaurant on Longcheng Street, the second brother said to the soldiers who came in.
The soldier known as Ergou scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, if it's not early, I won't have time to buy it later. I will set off with the team in the morning."
"Wait a minute, let me weigh you. Okay, there are three silver coins in total." The boy quickly filled the wine pot and took the silver coins the soldier took out. "I said, Brother Ergou, where are you going?"
The child asked with a smile.
"Hey, I received an order to go to the fortress in the north." The soldier put away the wine bottle and replied.
"Hey, I heard that there are savages in the north. Last year, General Zhao seemed to have killed hundreds of green-skinned savages!" the waiter asked in surprise.
"Well, our captain said that we would not let those savages go down the mountain to steal our people's food and built a fortress there. No, we were the first ones to go."
"Then you have to be careful. I heard that the savage is three feet tall, has four hands, and specializes in eating people!"
"Don't talk nonsense. They are called orcs. They are just like us, with two hands, two feet and one head." The person listening to the conversation between the two interrupted.
"Well, our captain said, they are called orcs. They are a bit ugly, but they are similar to us." The soldier nodded and said to the waiter.
"Oh! Really?" the waiter asked curiously.
"I don't know about that, but what the captain said is probably right." The soldier shrugged and continued: "Okay, if you have anything to say next time, I have to deliver wine to Tong Yatou. If I'm late, I can't make it.
If you gather together, you will lose your head."
"Oh, alas, go quickly and remember to come back safely! When you come back, I will treat you to a drink! Haha, go quickly, go quickly!" said the waiter.
"Okay! When I come back, don't renege on your debt!" The soldier turned around and said with a smile, then ran away and disappeared into the street.
...
Zhou Yunfei sat at the table and looked at Hua Xin's report.
Since the system was updated, in half a year, the new season's grain will be harvested, and Hua Xin is organizing manpower to prepare to harvest the grain.
After reasonable arrangements, advanced planting techniques, and good water conservancy and irrigation, the grain this time has truly achieved a bumper harvest. Preliminary estimates indicate that this summer grain harvest will be enough to support Longcheng to launch two large-scale wars, or to feed twenty people.
Thousands of people.
For this batch of grain, Zhou Yunfei plans to use it for military purposes, and the existing grain reserves in Longcheng can fully feed the current population. Coupled with the grain that the caravans have successively bought from all over the mainland, Zhou Yunfei can use this batch of grain.
The harvested food will be used entirely for a series of operations this winter and next spring.
After the most important food problem was solved, Zhou Yunfei came to the blacksmith factory in person.
Using advanced streamlined operations, batches of military equipment come out of the factory. The new armor is no longer the heavy plate armor that covers the whole body, but a lightweight armor that is a mixture of local fine iron armor and multi-layer leather armor. This can greatly improve the efficiency of military equipment.
Releases soldiers' mobility and endurance while providing the same protection.
A new type of weapon, a new long gun with an all-iron barrel and a fine steel tip for use in gun arrays.
There are many more new off-hand weapons. The pikemen are equipped with short swords, which are easy to match the large shields in their hands. The infantry are equipped with thick machetes, which are convenient for blocking and stabbing. The cavalry are equipped with ring-head knives, which are thick.
The spine of the knife is convenient for chopping. Finally, crossbowmen are equipped with short-edged knives for self-defense.
New armors and weapons are constantly updating the troops' equipment. In less than two months, they will be able to completely change their equipment.
After visiting the blacksmith factory, Zhou Yunfei rushed to the research institute.
The trebuchet system proposed by Zhou Yunfei last time really gave the craftsmen a huge headache. Fortunately, they had a goal and it was relatively easy to study.
This time Zhou Yunfei watched several trebuchets being developed. The largest trebuchet has been built, but its cumbersome production has limited the number to less than ten. And the accuracy is difficult to guarantee. The deviation of 500 meters can reach 100.
Duomi! Although it cannot meet Zhou Yunfei's requirements, he is not in a hurry. Everything is difficult at the beginning. With reference, I believe that the future development progress will be greatly accelerated.
However, the crossbow car has been able to ensure combat missions very well. This kind of crossbow car uses a bed crossbow similar to that of the Song Dynasty. It can be operated by three people and has a range of more than 300 meters.
Single crossbows are divided into riding crossbows and walking crossbows.
The crossbow used by the cavalry is a small hand crossbow with a range of about fifty meters. It is combined with the horn bow used by the rider to combine both long and short range. The first ones to be tried are the white horse followers. They will be equipped with the new hand crossbow. Its simple operation and light weight allow them to
Like it very much.
The crossbows used by infantry are more troublesome. The most important point is the cost issue. According to Zhou Yunfei's instructions, the hand crossbows in the military formation should cover the enemy's killing effect within 150 meters. When the spearmen at the front meet the enemy, the enemy behind them
Soldiers use crossbows to kill enemies. It is obviously impossible to equip them on a large scale because the cost is too high.
So after thinking about it, Zhou Yunfei decided to adopt the Tang Dynasty army system. That is, every 10,000 people in the army must be equipped with 8,000 longbows and 2,000 hand crossbows. The number of bow strings and crossbow strings is twice that, and the number of bows and crossbow arrows is a hundred times. According to this
The allocation will be based on this standard when establishing a war zone of 100,000 or more people in the future.
After the trip to the institute, Zhou Yunfei rushed to the court non-stop to inspect Dragon City's laws and regulations.
Since Longcheng established a strict legal system, citizens were subject to the system and quickly adapted to it. However, civilians and outsiders had more trouble. Fortunately, Longcheng's strict enforcement ability quickly promoted this system.
Once inside the territory, Chen Jiao used a sharp approach to cut the knot. He mobilized the city defenders to suppress the resistance from the beginning. After those who violated laws and disciplines were arrested one after another, the entire Dragon City
The atmosphere was subdued. Many civilians found that it was not difficult to abide by the law. As long as they did not violate the law, their daily lives did not change, so it soon subsided.
Knowing that the current social order in Longcheng territory was good, Zhou Yunfei nodded with satisfaction.
When Zhou Yunfei walked out of the court, it was already getting late. After touching his protesting belly, Zhou Yunfei said to Gao Shun beside him: "Zian, let's go, let's go to a restaurant!"
After sending someone back to inform Diao Chan that he would not go back for dinner, Zhou Yunfei took Gao Shun and found a hotel.
"Hey! Sir, you are here. Who are you? What would you like to eat?" The waiter warmly greeted the two of them to sit down and poured tea.
"Well, here are some side dishes. Come on, I'm starving." Zhou Yunfei drank the tea in a big gulp and urged the waiter.
"Okay, sir, please wait, I'll go right away."
Seeing the waiter turn and leave, Zhou Yunfei turned to look at the people at the other table. Judging from their clothes, they were not locals from Longcheng, they were probably here to do business. Zhou Yunfei thought.
I saw a few people at the next table eating the food served by the waiter. For people from Russia who have never tasted Chinese food, these beautifully styled and delicious foods are irresistible.
Zhou Yunfei watched in amusement as those people licked their lips with unfinished content after finishing the food.
The waiter's food was quickly served. Zhou Yunfei, who was so hungry, couldn't care less and started gobbling it up. Gao Shun, who had been shopping with Zhou Yunfei for a whole day, also ate silently.
The waiter happily looked at the people eating hard in the hall, smiling with great satisfaction.
Zhou Yunfei, who had finished eating hastily, looked at the waiter a little awkwardly. The reason was simple: neither he nor Gao Shun had any money!
Fortunately, Gao Shun called the patrol agents and asked them to go to the Governor's Mansion to withdraw the money.
The owner of the hotel came after hearing the news. When he saw Zhou Yunfei, he hurriedly saluted and then gave the second brother a chestnut: "Didn't you see that this is the Lord of the City? Your eyes have grown and your head has grown! Why don't you hurry up?
Apologize to your lord!"
The younger brother touched his painful head angrily, lowered his head and muttered: "The city lord can't refuse to pay for a meal. I'm not wrong."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his forehead darkened, and he raised his hand to give him another blow.
"Okay, don't blame him. He's right. It's my fault. I forgot to bring my money when I went out." Zhou Yunfei interrupted the shop owner, then turned to look at the second brother and said, "What's your name?"
The younger brother raised his head nervously and replied: "My name is Jiang Wei, and the nickname my mother gave me is Boyue."
When Zhou Yunfei heard this, he spit out the tea in his mouth! Jiang Wei! I'm going! This must be a joke, right? Zhou Yunfei was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Wei looked at the Lord of the City in confusion, wondering why he was so surprised.
At this time, Jiang Wei was only sixteen years old and lived with his mother. As a young and sensible man, he began to share housework very early until he was noticed by the shop owner. He liked his dexterity and sensibleness and started working as a waiter.
Zhou Yunfei woke up from his daze and looked at Jiang Wei. He had just asked the system, and the evaluation given by the system was that this person has great potential and is a talent who can stabilize the country!
Zhou Yunfei was sure that this Jiang Wei was a famous minister of Later Shu. He had to sigh that he was a good character. Even if he went out for a meal at last minute, he could show his great ability. After calming down, he said: "You are willing to serve me.
?”
Jiang Wei was stunned, what does this mean? Just when he was stunned, the shop owner suddenly gave him a chestnut: "Little bastard, adults value you, and you still don't agree! Why are you so stupid!"
"Oh? Oh! I am willing! I am willing to serve you!" Jiang Wei nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yunfei plans to hand him over to Zhuge Liang like Xiaojie. I believe that under the leadership of a group of counselors, Jiang Wei will definitely show his extraordinary talents!
After waiting for a while, the man sent by the governor handed over the money to the shop owner. A satisfied Zhou Yunfei walked briskly on the road, humming an unknown tune.
