Chapter 49: She wants to convert all the guards to riders
After dealing with the slave traders, Gu Mi and the others returned to the territory.
She already knew where the slave trader's group's treasure stronghold was, but she was in no hurry for now.
There are still many things waiting for her in the current territory.
The first task is to settle the new arrivals.
The actual arrangement of the work is still the responsibility of the old village chief. The main task of the lord Gu Mi is to build a house.
There are more than 100 new arrivals.
It far exceeds the carrying capacity of residential buildings in the territory, so in order to prevent everyone from sleeping in the wild in the winter, or crowding in a small house like ants, Gu Mi can only hurry up and build a house overnight.
She added 20 resettlement houses and 50 rental houses in one go, filling the entire residential area, leaving only aisles where people can walk.
This large-scale project almost consumed all the basic resources accumulated in the entire territory during this period, so Gu Mi had to issue an urgent task, so that the citizens could give priority to completing the basic resource collection tasks released by the territory within their own capabilities.
Otherwise, the territory will have no resources for construction!
At the same time, in order to take care of the penniless new population, Gu Mi specially added a loan business to the transaction column.
"Lending for newcomers: The maximum loan amount is 100 copper coins. The borrower is limited to the first entry into the territory and intends to become the territory's territory. The repayment date is one month, and the interest is 1%.
Remarks: The borrower must promise that the proceeds will come first. Time is used to purchase the official resident status, otherwise the loan will not be granted."
For the sake of fairness for the public, newcomers, no matter what their status, who want to become the official resident of their territory must come according to the conditions set by Gu Mi at the beginning.
This condition is not harsh. Basically, as long as you are a little diligent, you can achieve it after two days of hard work.
Those who are powerful may not need two days.
However, as a supplement to this provision, Gu Mi took the opportunity to introduce the 'newcomer loan' policy that he had planned for a long time.
After all, from the current point of view, the people who can come to their territory are either refugees or slaves. Everyone is poorer than each other, and it is not realistic to pay for the qualifications of citizens if they come up.
But her territory's demand for population is imminent.
Therefore, Gu Mi was planning to implement a semi-welfare loan policy for newcomers a long time ago, and also to prepare for her subsequent arrangements for opening up loans to the whole territory.
She plans to set up an official financial institution similar to a bank by herself to distribute large sums of money to the vast number of residents in need, and then let everyone take the money she gave to do business to make money, and then pay her taxes after making money. , but also to repay the loan interest, and then she has the money to lend to others...
This is a circular economic chain.
Once formed, her territorial economy will immediately become active like a fish pouring into the water.
However, this plan will be implemented at a later stage.
The most urgent task at the moment is to do a good job in the agricultural development of the territory and solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone.
Now that there are more people in the territory, there are more mouths to eat, the demand for food is increasing, and the pressure on the granary of the territory is also increasing in disguise.
Gu Mi calculated the time, it would take about a month.
After the time enters mid-January, the first crop of food crops in their territory can be harvested.
Before that, the food in their territory seemed...
not enough.
All the food stored in the territory was recovered from the ruins of this territory. Not to mention the limited quantity, part of it was deducted by the system as a labor fee.
Originally, there were few people in the territory, and these grains were enough to support the harvest of the crops in the fields, but now that so many people have come in one breath, the original enough grain will naturally be stretched.
No, plus the meat from the beast swarm in front of him, he could barely survive until then, provided that no more people could be added to the territory.
But is it possible?
The digging team that Cheng Ke brought out will come back at any time. By then, the population of the territory will further increase, but the food will decrease every day.
Sitting on the empty mountain, there will always be a time when it will be exhausted.
"We have to send people out to other territories to buy food." The old village chief has the authority to control the territory's warehouse, so he naturally knows the current food crisis in the territory, and he has a way to deal with it.
"This is a good idea, but who will you send?" To
buy food, you must find someone you can absolutely trust, and this person must have a certain amount of strength, otherwise you won't even be able to get out of the gate of the territory.
"I recommend Avery to go," said the old village chief.
Hearing this, Gu Mi turned to look at Avery who was standing on the other side, and asked him, "Avery, are you willing to take on this task?"
"Avery will definitely live up to the Lord's request!"
Avery Li immediately knelt down on one knee and gave Gu Mi a standard knightly salute.
"Huh?" Noticing his actions, Gu Mi realized something and asked, "Have you received a job transfer mission?"
Like Tu Xiaosi, Avery has also risen to level ten, and has reached the key point of job transfer. .
"Yes." Avery didn't hide it, and directly confessed: "I received the assignment of a knight, and the assignment requires me to be recognized by a mount." A
knight, a knight, naturally has to have a mount to be called a knight.
And Gu Mi guessed that the strength of the mount should determine the strength of Avery's strength after the transfer, and the potential for future development.
The general white horse knight and the dragon knight are not at the same level.
Avery the Dragon Knight should stop dreaming.
This legendary powerful creature, Gu Mi, could rub them on the ground in his previous life, but he couldn't beat them temporarily in this life, but it was still possible to help him find a mount that was stronger than an ordinary white horse.
"I changed my mind."
Gu Mi announced, "Avery, tomorrow, I will go with you to other territories to buy food."
She didn't say it clearly, but Avery just realized that Lord Lord intends to help him find a powerful mount He immediately gave a solemn gift and said gratefully, "Thank you for the gift of the Lord!"
"Well, you should go back and prepare first. It's not too late. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Gu Mi raised her head lightly. , After sending Avery away, he turned to ask the old village chief.
"How is the current situation of the guards?" The
old village chief seemed to have already prepared, and directly reported to her the current status of the guards that Lord Lord wanted to know: "Go back to Lord Lord, now the guards plus Avery, a total of There are twenty-five members, of which thirteen are level 6, six are level 7, three are level 8, and two are level 9, and only one Avery has reached level 10."
The two level 9 Gu Mi If you know who they are, they are the Gerroges brothers who were expelled by her to protect Cheng Ke.
The level of the rest of the people is okay, and they should be able to upgrade to level ten soon.
Gu Mi suddenly had an idea after learning that Avery had received a knight assignment.
She wanted to turn all the guards into knights.
In this way, the territory can form an army of knights.
In the previous life, after years of research by many scientists on the survivor's side, they discovered that changing careers was not an involuntary choice.
In fact, what career a person can transfer to is not only related to your own talent, but also has a lot to do with the environment you are in at the time.
Gu Mi, for example, was in a dangerous environment in her previous life and desperately needed powerful strength, so she naturally changed her career to be a Berserker.
She has the power in this life, it is no longer the most urgent need, and by chance, she has the opportunity to become a lord, and she naturally triggers the lord transfer task.
The relationship between the berserker and the lord, which can be said to be invincible, is also met by Gu Mi. This is a typical environmental factor.
Perhaps there are also part of Gu Mi's personal wishes.
So she can take advantage of this to guide everyone in the escort team to intentionally choose to change careers to become knights, so as to achieve the achievement of all knights.
Of course, she is a democratic lord.
If people don't want to be a knight, she won't force it.
But since she has a plan, she has to implement it. In fact, Gu Mi promised to help Avery get a mount just by the way. She also wanted to get some more mounts at the same time, so that all the members of the escort team could be equipped.
Preferably these mounts are of the same race.
This is better domesticated.
six in the morning.
Gu Mi got up early, packed up and went to meet Avery at the gate of the territory.
Avery was already ready to go and waited there quietly. When he saw Gu Mi coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Lord Lord."
"Well, let's go.
"
The old village chief did not come to see him off. The old man had been busy all night to settle the new residents last night. Gu Mi was embarrassed to disturb him again for this trivial matter.
Having said that, the old village chief is really miserable.
After a lot of years, I still have to work hard to manage the territory.
I thought that recommending Avery to share the work for myself, but this person is smart, but he prefers to take military jobs, not civilian jobs. In the end, all the civilian work in the territory can only be done by the old village chief. Haha hold up.
Not to mention that Gu Mi also helped with some territorial matters.
It has been two months since the establishment of their territory, and the lord Gu Mi has been outside for at least a month!
"Ah!" Gu Mi suddenly sneezed.
Why does she feel that there is a resentment that makes her guilty entwined behind her?
He subconsciously released "God-level perception" and went out to investigate. If there was nothing, Gu Mi could only comfort himself that someone might miss her.
Maybe it's Rabbit Xiaosi and the others?
I don't know where they went, and the digging plan is going smoothly or not.
It's a pity that Gu Mi doesn't have any props on hand for remote communication. Otherwise, it would be a good way to solve the food crisis in the territory by letting Cheng Ke and the others go to other territories to dig people and buy some food.
"Let's go find a mount for you first, then go to other territories to buy food, and then drop by a place on the way back."
Gu Mi decided the itinerary of the two in a few words.
She also thought about what mount to get Avery.
I still remember that to the east of this forest, there seems to be a group of griffins with an average level of 20 or higher.
That's a bunch of the best mounts to choose from.
The point is, Gu Mi can beat it.
The Griffon's habitat was far from the Hope Territory, and even if Gu Mi and Avery rushed at full speed, it took ten days to reach their destination.
After this encounter, she suddenly realized the importance of transportation.
Thinking about her original world, where she wants to go, she can just book a plane and high-speed rail to travel on the spot, and if it's bad, there are various means of transportation such as subways, buses, cars, small electric donkey boats, etc.
But here, he can only walk the world on his legs.
Not to mention the slow speed, but also tiring.
