Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

  Chapter 77 Exploration Plan

  After ordering the princess guards to arrange for the messenger, Qu Mao wandered around Yi Village.

  Rows of houses in Yi Village are now neatly built, and the row of commercial buildings to the south of the lord's hut also opens on time every day.

Although there is no business, all of them are open for business after all. Among the people Sunan brought back from Yancheng, all those with corresponding skills were arranged in commercial buildings. If there were no talents with corresponding skills, Su Yan also arranged some The more clever-looking citizens are on duty inside.

  The territorial houses and first-order houses on the east and west sides of the lord's hut are also being repaired more and more, row upon row. If it is completely calculated according to the full capacity of the territorial houses to accommodate 10 people, and the upper limit of the first-order houses to accommodate a family of 10 people, the houses on the east and west sides of the lord's hut in Yi Village can accommodate at least 2,000 people.

The functional building on the north side of the lord’s cottage is much more popular than the commercial building on the south side. Qu Mao arranged for the carpentry workshop to produce ten more carriages to make the carpentry workshop busy. Blacksmith shops, tailor shops and shoe shops all come from Yancheng. Although the demand for skilled workers is not very strong, at least they are already arranging production in the name of Yi Village territory.

   Except for the zero-tier barracks in the northeast corner, the second-tier barracks directly north of the lord's hut, and the first-tier barracks in the northwest corner, which are still under construction, all other functional buildings with architectural drawings have been completed.

  It was almost time to have dinner in Yi Village, Su Qiaoer walked into the living room of the lord's hut, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, Miss is back, and the logistics officer, Mr. Wang Ping, is also back."

   Qu Mao said: "Call to the lord's cabin to have dinner together, have you prepared the meal?"

  Su Qiaoer said: "My lord, dinner is ready."

   Soon, Su Yan and Wang Ping walked into the lord's hut together. Su Yan asked: "My lord, what's the matter with you calling us back in such a hurry?"

   Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Su Yan, Wang Ping, construction projects have already started in the three villages of Yidao, and all tasks have been assigned and arranged.

  The number of citizens and fighters has been greatly increased, so I think we can consider some other things, such as exploring the Island of Easy. I got accurate information that there are at least 27 treasure chests on Yi Island and some resource points that we haven't explored. "

  Su Yan blinked her eyes a few times and said, "My lord, is this a treasure chest bestowed by God?"

   Qu Mao nodded.

  Wang Ping obviously had never heard of the Chosen One before, and looked at Su Yan and Qu Mao blankly.

   Qu Mao continued: "This time, I want the three of us to go out to explore together, kill wild beasts to replenish food, and raise the level of the three of us by the way.

  The remaining control value of the Yi Village territory is no more than 10 points, and we urgently need three upgrades. "

  Wang Ping said: "My lord, exploring small islands, looking for god-given treasure chests and wild resource points is not what my subordinates are good at, but hunting for meat is something my subordinates are quite good at.

The interior officer told his subordinates that the food you brought back is enough for our territory for one and a half months, but from Yancheng to the nearest port of the Mughal Empire, it takes at least two months for a one-way voyage, and at least four months for a round trip, so the interior officer The adults said that it will be at least five months before you go to Yancheng to purchase again.

Yi Village’s cultivated land has indeed begun to harvest grain. You brought back enough seeds from Yancheng last time, but considering that more cultivated land will be opened up in the future, we only reserved 1,000 units of harvest for corn planting last time. Grain and other harvests are all converted into seeds.

In other words, we have to prepare food for at least one or two months, or ensure that the current food can last for five months. My subordinates suggest that I lead an army to undertake the hunting task, and by the way, it will not delay the promotion of subordinates grade. "

   Qu Mao asked: "Wang Ping, do you mean that you lead the army to hunt alone and won't act with me and Su Yan?"

Wang Ping said: "Yes, my lord, there are more than 400 fighters in the territory of Yi Village. It's a waste of all the fighters gathering together, especially the three of us together, so the subordinates suggested that I should go hunting alone." .

  Master Su Yan's internal affairs officer has no combat power, so it's no problem to follow him or his subordinates. "

   Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, that's fine too.

  The entire island of Yi is wide in the north, narrow in the middle, and narrow in the south. The south, west, and north sides are surrounded by cliffs facing the sea, but the height of the cliffs from the sea level is different.

  To the east, there are about half a kilometer of tidal flats and five kilometers of sandy beaches.

   If we split up, I will take Su Yan to the north first, climb to the highest point of Yi Island, observe the topography of the entire Yi Island, and then explore eastward from the highest point in the north, mainly exploring the interior of the forest.

  This time, the primary goal is to find treasure chests and other resource points. Of course, we will also kill the beasts we encounter along the way and use them as rations.

   It’s fine if you don’t go out, as long as you go out, according to my plan, at least you have to search all the dense forests in the northeast corner of the lord’s hut before you come back, and it will probably take at least three to five days..."

  Su Yan said: "My lord, then I have to prepare some marching tents. If I don't have them, I have to make them now. Fortunately, Su Bo brought back sewing technicians from Yancheng..."

  Wang Ping asked: "My lord, what troops are you going to bring there?"

   Qu Mao did not answer Wang Ping, but said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, don't worry about the tent for now. Since it is an upgrade, you must follow me, and your assistant Maffei Trani will also bring it along."

  Su Yan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, since it's an upgrade, why not bring Jia Sixie, Zhang Da, Zhao Pan, and Franklin Jin, after all, they are the first batch of citizens in the territory."

  Wang Ping said: "Zhang Da has been with me, and he is the captain of spearmen and halberd soldiers, let him follow me.

  Zhao Pan can follow the two adults. After all, he can ride a horse, so he can teach the two adults how to ride. Anyway, there are quite a lot of poor horses, and the two adults can each ride one to go out. "

Qu Mao thought for a while, and said: "Riding a horse is not difficult. Last time I was led by the princess guards to ride back to Yi Village from Mingang Village, I basically knew how to ride. Su Yan used to be a princess of the Liusu Principality, so riding a horse must be very easy. There is no problem.

   Eat first, chat while eating.

  The last question is, should our territory start to consider establishing our own official system?

  A Chosen friend told me that commanders, generals, counselors, logistics officers, and internal affairs officers are just professions of heroes, not official positions in each territory, so we can appoint the official positions in the territories by ourselves. "

  Su Yan said: "My lord, it is true, but the subordinates feel that we should not be too anxious now. Once the territorial officials are appointed, they will have to pay monthly salaries."

   Qu Mao hurriedly said: "Okay, let's talk about it later."
