Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 558 Population Composition

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

In addition to the large rainforest area that is the home of the lizard people, the territory they occupied in this wave 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 before Zhou Xu is 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 take charge of their own business.

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 template style, but if Let him do the planning and design on his own. He is 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 wanted to train Wang Dashi and the others, but conditions did not allow it at this stage.

The tight labor force and limited time cannot stand the struggle. 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 over yet. After all, Shi Lei has been recruiting tribal people over there in the mountains. At the same time, the territory is also expanding. Many hills are still waiting for them to build villages. This also makes the Construction Engineering Department over there. The workload is huge.

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

"Bolevin, see the king!"

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

"Excuse me, I called you here because I want to confirm with you the specific division of the lizard people's population."

If he simply wanted to confirm the population of the lizardmen, Zhou Xu would only need to open his attribute panel and check the 'subjects under his command' column to get 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 people. This is really thanks to Shi Lei who has been collecting the population.

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

The reason why I haven't confirmed it before is because the lizard people are still fighting the rat people on the southern border. In this process, the population figures fluctuate very drastically. It is meaningless to confirm at this time.

But now, the war between the two tribes 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 Boleven 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 and 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 back to the king, among these lizardmen, the total number of soldiers is more than 4,000..."

"How many names?"

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!!"

As the supreme ruler of the lizard-men clan before, Bolevin usually only had to give orders and let the lizard-men below him do the work. He really didn't care much about such detailed population issues. He didn't need to worry about it before.

He was able to report the total number of "more than four thousand" soldiers because he had recently started a war with the rat people. In addition, he had personally visited the southern battlefield to command before, so he had such a number in mind. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have this number. Can't even report it.

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

"Well, 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 the matter, which made Bo Levin greatly relieved. Then he asked a question he knew. With a mentality of wanting to perform well, he quickly spoke.

"The standing force of our tribe was three thousand. Two thousand were concentrated on the southern border. Five hundred were stationed near the tribe. They were responsible for guarding the Centaur tribe and guarding the plains. The remaining five hundred were scattered in several other areas. place of residence.”

"But then the war broke out and the pressure on the front line was high, so we gathered all the young adults in the clan and went 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 force for a while.

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

Not to mention the battlefield in the south, there were 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 arrangements. After thinking about it, there was indeed a military force on the other side of the border. Two thousand permanent troops are required just in case.

As for the number of lizardman soldiers scattered in the clan 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 Centaur clan, and on the other hand, to guard against possible enemies that may appear on the edge of the world.

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