Chapter 95 Exploding Gold Coins
Regardless of Zhang Zhao, Guo Tu, Pan Feng, and Zhong Hui, in fact, they have long believed that Zhuge Liang is the lord of Dameng Town.
It's just that the nominal lord of Dameng Town is still Ning Mengya, but considering that Ning Mengya will recruit more civil servants and generals in the future, they may think that the lord is themselves rather than Zhuge Liang.
That's why she wanted to give up the power to Zhuge Liang.
She has a very clear understanding of herself. Although she is the player lord, compared to the NPCs in the game, especially Zhuge Liang, she actually has no sense of existence.
In terms of decision-making, there are Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu, and in terms of generals, there are Pan Feng and Zhong Hui. If she gives up the position of lord to Zhuge Liang, she will witness Zhuge Liang's step-by-step struggle for hegemony, which is also a happy thing for her. .
Zhuge Liang shook his head. He rejected Ning Mengya's proposal because many NPCs in Dameng Town needed Ning Mengya to recruit city and territory upgrades, and he did not have this ability.
However, Ning Mengya kept insisting, and finally Zhang Zhao proposed that Dameng Town have two protagonists, with Zhuge Liang making the decision on all external matters, and Ning Mengya deciding on internal matters.
Although Ning Mengya doesn't know how to make any decisions, at least she won't embarrass Zhuge Liang.
And everyone knows that with Ning Mengya's temperament, she won't cause any unpleasantness or fight for power. If Ning Mengya really likes power, she won't listen to Zhuge Liang in everything.
In this way, if civil servants, counselors or military generals are recruited in the future, they will be loyal to Zhuge Liang, while at the same time retaining Ning Mengya's position as the lord of Dameng Town.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"That's it." Ning Mengya said happily, "Zhuge Liang, you have to work hard. Whether our Dameng Town can truly become the Dameng Dynasty depends on you!"
Zhuge Liang nodded heavily: "Okay!"
……
Early the next morning, Zhuge Liang transferred 500 soldiers including Pan Feng and Zhong Hui to the areas previously controlled by the Xia Dynasty, and invested 100 troops in each area to temporarily protect the safety of the city.
At the same time, all funds and food in the new territory will be transported back to Dameng Town.
Xia Chaorong had a total of 51,389 grains hoarded, and countless coins, including 3,148 gold coins!
Since the Xia Dynasty had been constantly fighting to support war without rest, these gold coins had not yet had time to be used.
If the lord of the Xia Dynasty was not so greedy, played steadily, put all these gold coins into use, developed the internal affairs, and then slowly planned to annex external affairs, he would not have been defeated so quickly!
After obtaining 3148 gold coins, the total finance of Dameng Town came to 3206 gold coins, 69 silver coins and 78 copper coins.
Inside the Dameng Town Council Hall.
A huge map is hung on the wall. Dameng Town has almost occupied a small half of the territory in the north. There are four military defense zones in the territory of the former Xia Dynasty. As long as city walls are built in all these areas as the first buffer zone for defense, then This will ensure the safety of the territory.
It costs 500 gold coins to build a 5-meter-high city wall in each place. A total of 2,000 gold coins are needed in the four places. This is not enough. A moat must be dug in front of the city wall to ensure the safety of these four territories to the greatest extent. Each city requires 100 gold coins for the moat. Gold coins, a total of 2,400 gold coins are needed!
These are urgent things to be done at the moment. Only by defending all the captured territories can these places be regarded as the territory of Dameng Town. Otherwise, these places are so far away from Dameng Town that they will always be in danger of being attacked.
Zhuge Liang dispatched Pan Feng and Zhong Hui to guard Yuhuang Town and Jiming Town respectively. Each of the four cities had 200 troops and invested 800 troops!
After everything was arranged, Pan Feng and Zhong Hui went to their respective territories to guard the territory early the next morning. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also took Ning Mengya to the territory. Ning Mengya spent a total of 2,400 gold coins to stay in four cities. City walls and moats were built!
Dameng Town's finances now have 806 gold coins, 69 silver coins, and 78 copper coins left. Because the Xia Dynasty's conquest was so fast, many people within the territory were displaced and did not even have houses with shelter from the wind and rain.
So Ning Mengya spent another 100 gold coins to build houses for these people in various places.
After conquering these territories, the total number of people under Ning Mengya's jurisdiction also reached 6,153!
706 seems to have a lot of gold coins, but as the number of people increases, various medical, educational, commercial and other facilities also need to be built little by little.
All these internal affairs and development issues were handed over to Zhang Zhao and Guo Tu. Simply because of their existence, Zhuge Liang could worry a lot less!
There are many small player territories throughout the north, and these will all need to be conquered bit by bit in the future.
However, after learning from the lessons of the Xia Dynasty, Zhuge Liang does not plan to launch an invasion war for the time being. He will give enough time for the time being to allow everything in Dameng Town to develop.
……
In the blink of an eye, less than half a month has passed. The development of Dameng Town has stabilized. The remaining problems caused by the last war have been completely resolved in this little half a month.
All areas under the jurisdiction of Dameng Town have begun to develop in an orderly manner. The most acute problem facing Dameng Town at the moment is still the lack of talents.
Ning Mengya still has not recruited any available civil servants or generals.
Although Ning Mengya was not a leader in recruiting NPCs, she was really lucky.
Early this morning, a general came to Dameng Town outside the city.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
An eighth-rate general defected to him? !
Ning Mengya immediately brought Guo Tu and Zhang Zhao to greet the other party, and then she learned that the other party was actually Huang Gai!
Dameng Town is in need of talents the most. Suddenly, an eighth-rate military general defected. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed. When Zhuge Liang learned that Huang Gai had defected, he also went to entertain him personally.
"With General Huang joining us, why should our Dream Dynasty not prosper?"
However, Zhuge Liang was very curious and asked Huang Gai why he came to Dameng Town.
Huang Gai explained that he had been wandering in troubled times and had never been able to find his master. Seeing the rapid development of Dameng Town, he came to seek refuge.
Just such an explanation always made Zhuge Liang feel that something was wrong.
His clothes were in tatters, fitting the appearance of a refugee in troubled times, but his boots were intact, which showed that he had not traveled much, as if he wanted to join Dameng Town on purpose.
It was not known for the time being whether Huang Gai had ulterior motives, so Zhuge Liang did not question him in person and quickly arranged for Huang Gai to be a vanguard officer in the army, allowing him to lead his soldiers in training.
"Mr. Guo, Mr. Zhang."
When Zhuge Liang found Guo Tu and Zhang Zhao, the two counselors immediately said to Zhuge Liang: "My lord, the purpose of Huang Gai's defection is not pure. If he is really wandering in troubled times, why are the boots under his feet so intact?"
It seems that these two guys also saw the problem, but they didn't point it out in person.
Zhuge Liang nodded: "Let's see what his purpose is first."
