Chapter 558 Population Composition


Chapter 558 Population Composition

After Wang Pengfei left, Zhou Xu quickly processed the several documents at hand, and then devoted his energy to the construction planning of this large new area.

The territory they occupied in this wave, in addition to the large rainforest area where the lizard people were, also included the plains connecting the rainforest areas, as well as the surrounding areas where the centaurs originally lived.

The area is so large that Zhou Xu estimated that it might be two-thirds of their original territory of Great Zhou.

And this also shows in disguise how huge the workload is before Zhou Xu at this moment.

In the next few days, he plans to conduct a general inspection of these sites before making better plans.

Originally, this matter should be left to the Construction Engineering Department.

But unfortunately, at this stage, their construction engineering department still lacks talents who can truly stand alone.

Although Minister Wang Dashi can be considered an experienced architect at this stage, his experience and ability are limited to starting work with the design drawings given to him by Zhou Xu, or directly applying the previous ones. template style, but if he was asked to plan and design it by himself, he was still far from ready.

To put it bluntly, Wang Dashi, or the entire construction engineering department, can only be used as a simple 'tool man' at this stage.

This also makes the entire planning and design work, so far, Zhou Xu has been personally responsible.

He has the intention to train Wang Dashi and others, but the current conditions do not allow it.

The tight labor force and limited time cannot stand the hassle. He must now avoid various mistakes that will increase their burden and pursue maximum efficiency.

At this stage, the Construction Engineering Department has not come yet. After all, over the mountains, Shi Lei has been recruiting tribal people, and the territory is also expanding. Many hills are still waiting for them to build villages, which also makes The Construction Engineering Department has a huge workload there.

According to Zhou Xu's plan, he is going to transfer them here after spring. As for now, he will first make all the plans here.

"Bo Laiwen, see the king!"

Hearing the voice, Zhou Xu spoke without raising his head...

"Excuse me, I called you here because I want to talk to you. Confirm the specific division of the lizard people’s population.”

If you just want to confirm the population of the lizard people, then Zhou Xu only needs to open his attribute panel to confirm the people under his command. 'This column will give you the answer.

Currently, he has a population of 6,732 lizardmen under his command!

In addition to the lizard people, the total population, including centaurs and prairie elves, is 1,364. This is really thanks to Shi Lei who has been recruiting the population

Adding them together, the total population of his Great Zhou now reaches 8,096!

The reason why I have not confirmed it before is because on the southern border, the lizard people are still at war with the rat people. In this process, the population figures fluctuate very drastically. It is time to confirm. Makes no sense.

Now, the war between the two races has temporarily come to an end, and the fluctuations in population figures have temporarily stabilized, and this is the time to confirm.

Under this premise, what Zhou Xu wants to get from Bolaiwen at this time is obviously not the total population. What he wants to know is how many of the nearly seven thousand lizard people are Soldiers, how many are civilians.

If possible, it would be great if the number of soldiers from each branch and civilians from each profession could be reported to him together.

But obviously, Bolevin failed to grasp the accuracy of the division of the lizard people's internal population to this extent.

The only thing that can be provided is the number of soldiers.

"Reporting to the king, among these lizardmen, the total number of soldiers is more than four thousand..."

"How many?"

Faced with this ambiguous word, Zhou Xu expressed doubts. When Bollevin heard this question, cold sweat broke out.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! It was my subordinate who neglected his duty!!"

Before, Bollevin was the supreme ruler of the lizardman clan. Under normal circumstances, he only needed He is responsible for giving orders and letting the lizard men below do the work. He really doesn't care much about such detailed population issues, and he didn't need to worry about it before.

He was able to report the total number of soldiers as "more than four thousand" because he had recently started a war with the rat people, and he had personally visited the southern battlefield to command before, so he had such a number in mind, otherwise He probably couldn't even report this number.

Glancing at Bo Levin's fat body that was constantly vibrating, Zhou Xu only felt it hurt his eyes.

"That's all, let's put that aside in advance. These more than four thousand soldiers should not be your standing force, right?"

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is wise."

Faced with this compliment, Zhou Xu rolled his eyes. He was not stupid. Out of the more than 6,000 lizardmen, more than 4,000 were soldiers. How could he afford to support them?

“Stop talking about these things and get down to business.”

"Yes."

Zhou Xu did not pursue it, which made Bo Levin greatly relieved. Then he asked a question he knew. With a mentality of wanting to perform well, he hurriedly said stand up.

“The standing force of our clan before was three thousand, two thousand were concentrated on the southern border, five hundred were stationed near the clan area, responsible for guarding the Centaur clan and guarding the plains. The remaining five hundred, then They were scattered in several other places of residence. "

"But then the war broke out and the pressure on the front line was heavy, so all the young adults in the clan were summoned to fight on the front line."

Speaking of this, Bo Levin secretly glanced at Zhou Xu timidly.

The reason why they were under so much pressure was largely due to their king, but he did not dare to say this clearly.

It was not that Zhou Xu couldn't hear it, but he simply didn't understand it and thought about this troop strength for a while.

[Three thousand standing troops are about the same. After all, before this, the total population of lizard people must have been more than this. In this wave, a lot of lizard people died. 】

Not to mention the battlefield in the south, there are quite a few lizardmen who died at the hands of their Zhou troops and the Centaurs.

These more than six thousand are the remaining population of the lizard people now, not the population before the war.

Zhou Xu didn't care about the original population of the lizard people. That was already in the past. For him, how to arrange the newly recruited 6,732 lizard people was the most important thing. matter.

Considering the replenishment of the internal labor force, a group of people must be retired first, but at the same time, considering the threat of the rat people from the south, Zhou Xu thought about the lizard people's previous troop arrangement, and after thinking about it, On the other side of the border, two thousand permanent troops are indeed needed just in case.

As for the number of lizardman soldiers scattered in the tribe and several other residential areas, they can be reduced now.

After all, the existence of these lizard soldiers is, on the one hand, to guard against the Centaurs, and on the other hand, to guard against possible enemies that may appear on the edge of the world.

Now, these two needs no longer exist. During non-war periods, this part of the force is naturally not needed.
