Chapter 563: Parts of destiny, reform is approaching
Zong Shen hung the communication crystal back on his chest.
Stretched slowly.
There were probably only a few dozen lords who died at the scene of the Fire Demon Boss crusade today.
Much less than in the first round of the crusade.
To be honest, if the strategy module was not dormant, Zong Shen wouldn't mind taking over those unclaimed territories.
Including warriors, supplies and valuable buildings left behind by fallen lords.
The sum of these resources is not a small sum.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.
Because of his bold idea, he actually killed the Balrogs in two areas in the same round.
A huge cumulative damage was achieved.
And created a new breakthrough behavior.
Received a global announcement with a golden banner.
It was precisely because of this bold plan that Zong Shen was tested by the lord system again.
Affected by this, the strategy module fell into sleep.
This matter is a change in the plan and an unpredictable unexpected situation.
Even Zong Shen himself was helpless about this.
Even if he knew that he would encounter detection and cause the strategy to go dormant, he would not give up on this bold plan.
This is probably the so-called inability to have your cake and eat it too.
After all, his operation earned him a huge amount of points.
Plus a reward for a breakthrough event.
This is also the third breakthrough event he has achieved since landing.
Speaking of which, I returned a little too hastily before.
Therefore, Zong Shen has not carefully checked the rewards obtained from this breakthrough event.
In addition, in this round, he also scored the final blow of two Boss crusade battles.
Obtained two levels of Balrog treasure chests that are equivalent to gold treasure chests.
There are also thousands of points and 20,000 citizen experience points.
The levels of his warriors and farmers will also be improved.
Even the kobolds in the mines.
As for the gryphon beasts, manticore tigers, and lion skeleton knights, they cannot enjoy the citizen experience.
These 20,000 experience points can further improve the quality of the people you lead.
Especially the blank slate farmers who were recruited from among the aborigines.
Twenty thousand experience points are almost enough for them to upgrade from lv1 to lv11.
If they regularly enter the [Training Ground] for training, their level will be even higher.
This aspect also depends on the self-disciplined farmers in the territory, led by San Pang.
These guys have gone through training before and have reached level 13 or above.
As time goes by, the overall quality of the people in Zong Shen's territory will become higher and higher.
Even an ordinary farmer can improve himself by upgrading and adding points.
Zong Shen summarized it in his mind.
He didn't open the storage compartment directly.
Instead, I looked at the information prompt when obtaining the item.
These information tips can be viewed at any time.
Contains item acquisition, combat information, etc.
It is a small option that belongs to the lord system itself.
Looking through the items to obtain information, Zong Shen quickly found the previous breakthrough event reward options.
[Successfully completed a cross-region double-click kill in a single round of Balrog Crusade]
[Obtained the only title: Subversive]
[Start settling rewards for you]
[Earn 65,000 challenge points]
[Reputation gained: 8000]
[Obtain Destiny Gear Axis (Unknown) × 1]
[Obtain special knowledge school construction blueprint (gold) × 1]
[Obtain level 10,000 basic resource box (orange) × 3]
[Obtain technical talent recruitment treasure box (orange) × 3]
[Obtain hero emblem (orange) × 3]
[Obtain the seventh-level city lord’s mansion upgrade certificate × 1]
[Get special power fruit (orange) × 1]
[Obtain level 5 magic energy Earthshaker chariot (orange) × 1]
[Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange) × 1]
The breakthrough rewards this time are even richer than when you completed the first kill in the world.
It’s just that no epic-level jewelry equipment was drawn.
Instead, he got a golden epic architectural drawing.
In addition, as usual, I got the destiny parts.
It's called [Destiny Gear Axis].
Just by looking at the name, you know that these destiny parts will eventually be combined into something mysterious.
Currently, he already has three items from the Destiny series in his hand.
Every time a golden banner appears and a breakthrough event is achieved, you will get a destiny item.
The golden banner has appeared a total of four times so far.
Three of them were caused by Zong Shen.
Another time it was the guy whom Chen Rui called the aboriginal puppet.
The lord living in the Salander Sultanate, Jane Hesz!
Even the prophetic and mysterious Chen Rui was unable to achieve a breakthrough event.
It is enough to illustrate the difficulty.
Zong Shen was more curious and didn't know what the destiny component in Jane Heise's hand would be?
In addition to the destiny components, there are also challenge points and reputation points as usual.
This also explains why his points total exceeded his previous projections.
The remaining items include upgrade certificates and some strange props, which look very interesting.
Strictly speaking, the biggest change in rewards this time is the so-called [10,000-level basic resource box (orange)] and [technical talent recruitment treasure box (orange)].
Just by looking at the name Zong Shen, you can probably guess it.
In addition, there are power fruits and fifth-level magic chariots.
Including that brand new unique title.
All this made Zong Shen feel very strange.
Of course, there is also the last one [Soul Extraction Bottle (Orange)].
It reminded him of those complete soul items unconsciously.
If the people under your command want to improve their qualifications, they must use souls of the corresponding level.
Therefore, [complete soul] has always been a scarce and hard consumable in the territory.
Overall demand is high.
The feeling this thing gave him should be related to soul acquisition.
Unfortunately, his strategy module is dormant.
Now even if Zong Shen sees the items, he can't get too clear information.
The native information provided by the Lord system is very vague.
Many functions need to be tested by yourself.
Unlike the strategy module, it can even be accurate to specific values.
Ordinary lords need to explore all aspects on their own.
For Zong Shen, such a life is simply a human suffering!
However, there have been cases where the strategy module was unblocked early when it was sleeping.
This time it may be possible to unblock it early.
The premise for this kind of thing is that the strategy module confirms that the detection has been completely completed.
After getting used to using the strategy module.
Without its detailed annotations, it would be really inconvenient.
He glanced a few times, and the descriptions on these items became very concise.
Three points depends on the literal meaning, seven points depends on Hu Meng.
So Zong Shen was not in the mood anymore.
He chose to temporarily store these precious items in the kitchen.
Among them, there is no need to look at the [Seventh Level City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate] and [Hero Crest (Orange)].
Zong Shen knew the functions of these things.
It can be put into use quickly.
Especially the [Hero Crest] can be used to arrange promotions for veteran warriors in the territory one after another.
"Strategy module, can you show up?"
After Zong Shen checked the rewards of the breakthrough event, he tried calling the strategy module in his mind.
It's a pity that there was no reaction at all.
Obviously, the current strategy module does not feel that it is time to end its dormancy.
Zong Shen gave it a try and gave up after getting no results.
He thought for a while and decided to try to wake up every hour.
If you're lucky, you might be able to end hibernation early.
These new items were placed in the storage compartment, and Zong Shen made him feel itchy.
Curiosity can also kill the cat.
Especially when you need to figure it out yourself.
The Lord's Fortress is very quiet.
On the contrary, the living area is more lively.
Tonight, Mariel, Howie, and Vereesa were all busy in the living area.
The new heroic talents who join the territory will need some time to adapt before they can be put to use.
Zong Shen considered abolishing the territory’s logistics department.
Establish a formal administrative department.
That is, the Territory Administration Office!
Then departments are divided according to specific functions.
Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Infrastructure, Ministry of Production, Ministry of Education, and Ministry of Public Security.
In the future, when the technical talents and workshops are available in the territory, a scientific research department can also be established.
The salary is divided into six levels according to the position.
This matter will be placed after the reform of the freedmen.
Everything will wait until the challenge month is over.
After all, there are only seven or eight days left.
Mariel and Howie tonight are not only conducting farming skills training for the farmers stationed in the territory.
They also need to plan out their farming areas after the challenge month ends.
This farming area will be the direct responsibility of the territory.
After the Freemen's Reform, farmers were paid dinars for their labor.
Equivalent to agricultural labor.
In addition to agricultural areas, freemen could freely claim a certain area of land on the periphery of their territory for cultivation.
At least fifteen kilometers away from the territory.
At that time, a batch of basic production materials will be uniformly distributed by the administrative department.
Including farm tools and seeds.
Before food was produced, freemen could borrow some food from the territory.
The crops are then used to repay the output.
You can keep some of the remaining grain for yourself, and if you want to sell it, the Ministry of Agriculture has the sole authority to purchase it.
Grain trade must be strictly controlled, otherwise it will easily lead to the loss of grain or the sale of grain at high prices.
Farmers will find suitable positions, including miners, farmers, workshop apprentices, skilled workers, self-trained warriors, construction workers, etc.
Relying on the loyalty of his subjects, Zong Shen can easily promote any policy.
And his reform strategies are of great significance.
The core purpose is to liberate the people from the position of "tool people".
Create a new territory full of labor enthusiasm.
Thus, the population can be fully transformed into productive forces.
Complete the accumulation of original data through agriculture, and then you can concentrate on developing workshop skills.
Manufacture some high-profit industrial products and seek profits.
This is an important link in the self-consistent development of the territory.
For foreign conquests, there is a plan.
There is no conflict between the two.
According to his plan, after the territory successfully completes its reform, it will become a core of power.
Provide a steady stream of motivation for future expeditions.
These are all for long-term considerations.
As for the soldiers, they also have to undergo reforms, but they must be carried out after the reform of the free people.
The productivity of this world is actually not very high.
The most direct way to improve productivity is to use magic power and magic technology.
The second is to follow the path of scientific cultivation on earth.
Use a variety of fertilizers that can increase production.
Cultivate high-yield grain seeds that are resistant to diseases and pests.
Create large-scale magical farming equipment.
It's all one of the methods.
Because this world has good magic technology.
So Zong Shen gave up on trying to make a steam engine.
Compared with the same period, the conversion efficiency of the magic core is higher.
Moreover, there is also the help of drawing production.
After everything is stable, he will first focus on studying magic energy technology.
Then consider researching the Earth technology tree.
As for now, there are [Farm Tower] and [Natural Totem] in the farming and pastoral area.
Coupled with the yield-increasing effect of fertile fields at each level, the prototype of farmland in the territory has already been established.
In terms of fertilizer, the building [simple toilet] in the territory can produce manure.
There is still room for improvement with these manures.
They can be collected and stacked in open spaces.
Convert into compost through fermentation.
Composting was also an early form of fertilizer production on Earth.
Of course, Zong Shen cannot guarantee the specific results.
But it’s well worth a try!
After all, this is a different world that has been semi-digitized by the lord system.
In addition to the issue of territorial reform.
Additions and regularization of new buildings are also a big issue.
There is no shortage of resources for the time being.
In addition to the original accumulation.
Mines are also an extremely important resource income in the territory.
The term income is not rigorous either.
To be precise, it should be an important resource trade bargaining chip.
Zong Shen has now gotten rid of the primitive resource acquisition method of letting farmers go out to collect in the early days of advent.
It became through trade to obtain the required resources.
This is a big improvement.
That's why he had to continuously strengthen the garrison in the mine.
At the same time, we have to find time to go deep into the mines and open more mines.
Be prepared for future production increases.
In addition, the gem mine near the griffon's nest also needs attention.
These are big issues that need to be paid attention to in development.
Especially now that the strength of the regional lords is rising steadily.
The previous mine cart being robbed was a lesson to Zong Shen.
Farmers will be an extremely important labor force in the future.
Except for the two hundred farmers who were brought to the mines to train as miners.
The remaining farmers must ensure that everyone has a skill.
The plan for the next stage is first to achieve agricultural self-sufficiency.
They cannot always rely on buying food from surrounding villages.
Not only is it costly, but it is not a long-term solution.
These are the problems that Mariel and Howie are responsible for solving.
Fortunately, they now have a lot of helpers among their logistics heroes.
Regarding internal affairs, Zong Shen did not want to allocate too much energy.
He has more serious things to do.
And these things he considered were actually inevitable problems after the territory developed and grew.
At this time, Luna came down from upstairs.
Her steps were as light as a cat's.
However, Zong Shen was still keenly aware of it.
He ended his thinking and turned his head away with a smile on his face.
Neither Luna nor Doris had anything extra to do tonight.
So they can move around freely.
Luna walked directly behind Zong Shen.
She reached out and kneaded the back of his neck gently.
"Sir, regarding the ruins of Azshara below the rogue camp."
"I think it's necessary to explore quickly."
"My intuition tells me that there is something very important in that ruins."
"It is the precious treasure left by Azshara."
"It will definitely be of great help to the development of the territory."
"At least we can gain a powerful hero and many elven warriors."
"Before you collect all the elven keys and open Azshara's treasure house."
"This ruins will definitely help you a lot."
Luna said softly.
Rarely, he offered his own suggestions.
It seemed like she knew some of the secrets of the ruins.
Zong Shen nodded slightly
"I see."
"Wait until after the heat wave challenge is over."
"Let's go and completely eliminate the Goblin tribe in the northern mountain forest."
"There is an Elf Key in the tribe!"
"In this way, the conditions for opening the Azshara ruins below the rogue camp will be met."
Zong Shen also said softly that he already had a plan for this matter.
The mission of conquering the Goblin tribe is very important, and it even ranks ahead of conquering the little black dragon.
Because the Goblin tribe is involved in the subsequent development of several ruins.
At the same time, it can be regarded as pulling out a nail in the northern part of the area.
Expand your scope of exploration to the north.
Based on the current number of warriors in the territory.
Including those goblin bombs and powerful high-level spell scrolls he had hoarded before.
In fact, they are all preparing to attack the goblins.
In comparison, those annoying little greenskins are easier to deal with than the black dragons.
And the subsequent benefits are also greater.
In addition to getting the [Elf Key].
Just kill them.
The treasure chests in the tribe and the ruins of the nearby rebel garrison will also fall into his hands.
At that time, Zong Shen can also get the rune gate key to the ruins of the Shadow Poison Assassin Alliance's residence.
Go explore the ruins of the Shadow Venom Assassins.
If you're lucky, you should be able to get some assassin recruitment scrolls.
These are all arrangements in Zong Shen’s future exploration plan.
In addition, he also has the token of the Desolate Wolf tribe in his hand.
As for the little black dragon, we have to wait a little further.
He was not looking forward to the young dragon's treasure trove.
A dragon's wealth is often linked to its age.
And so is their strength.
A fledgling young dragon will not have huge wealth.
There is also a sequential relationship between these.
But the little black dragon is bound to win.
Now he has another [Pet Contract (Purple)] in his hand.
There is also a [Flower of Tiamat (orange)].
This flower can increase the strength of any five-color dragon equivalent to four hundred years.
It can greatly improve the strength of the little black dragon.
without affecting its upper limit of life.
As long as you tame the little black dragon.
Find a suitable time to feed it [Flower of Tiamat (orange)].
He will be able to harvest an old dragon with good strength.
Zong Shen had already made plans in his mind.
He was not worried that other lords would get there first in these places.
Whether it's the Goblin tribe or the black dragon of Poison Swamp.
It is not something that the lords in the area can handle in a short period of time.
