Chapter 51: Murloc Attack
noon.

Tang Jing hosted a banquet in the lord's mansion to entertain the newly appointed chief officials.

At the end of the banquet, Chang Shi Wu Sidao came forward to convene the chief officials of various departments to have a small-scale discussion on Chang'an's upcoming privatization restructuring and express their respective opinions.

"From the perspective of financial burden, in this round of restructuring in Chang'an, the garrison soldiers, especially ordinary soldiers, should give priority to the conscript model, and only pay allowances, not wages." Financial Secretary Zheng Dingmei said.

There are nearly [-] garrison divisions, accounting for nearly one-sixth of the total population of the territory.

If they are all contract soldiers and they are provided with food and accommodation in the barracks, it will indeed be a huge expense. If it is more serious, it may even drag down the territory's finances.

Even in modern society, it is impossible to support an army with all contract soldiers.

Like clerks and craftsmen in workshops and factories, after receiving their wages, the main expenditure is to buy food, cloth and other daily necessities, and then form an internal cycle.

In essence, the quality of life is adjusted through the difference in income. Those with high wages eat more meat, and those with low wages eat less meat, so as to mobilize the labor enthusiasm of the people.

Soldiers do not have such consumption needs. If they receive wages, they will save up.

The financial burden is different.

The ransom of 15 gold coins from the orc tribe also gave Chang'an the greatest confidence in the privatization.

"can."

Tang Jing nodded and agreed with Ding Mei's suggestion.

Sun Zhongda, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, suggested, "Farmers and fishermen should be allowed to sell vegetables, poultry, fish and other agricultural products in the market."

"A farmer's family needs not only food, but also a little money to live in. Go to the city to buy commodities such as salt and cloth."

Farmers markets are set up for just that.

Zhao Feng, Secretary of the Department of Commerce, suggested that "players with technology and capital should be encouraged to come to Chang'an to invest in tailor shops, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, breakfast shops, etc., to stimulate the development of the private economy."

"When necessary, the territorial bank can also provide loan support."

"You can try."

Before attracting players to settle in, Tang Jing only considered recruiting talents.

I don't know.

Players are the most sophisticated group, and the most important thing is their interests.

If Chang'an allows players to set up self-employed businesses, so that skilled players can save a substantial family business in Chang'an, it will be more tempting.

"Not only the catering industry, but in the future, when the time is right, the construction industry and even the real estate development industry can be opened up to attract big capital." Zhao Feng added.

Talents in the construction industry may disdain to join the construction team under the Changan Construction Department, but if they set up a construction company on their own, I am afraid they will be very interested.

Isn't talent coming soon?
"This, let's discuss."

Tang Jing's eyes dimmed a little, apparently because he didn't want to take such big steps.

Yao Bo, Secretary of the Department of Labor, also expressed his opinion, "The salary system recommends adopting job salary + performance to avoid the same type of job, more work and less work."

It is also stimulating the enthusiasm for labor in a disguised form.

"At the same time, a labor security system must be established to provide strong protection for workers in areas such as pensions, medical care, and work-related injuries, so as to avoid worries."

In "Star Boundary", there is also birth, old age, sickness and death.

including players.

Once the physical functions in reality are silenced, it means the real death in "Star Realm".

Immortality cannot be obtained.

"Labor security is one aspect, but we also need to encourage marriage and childbearing among the citizens," Tang Jing added.

The meeting lasted nearly three hours. In addition to making suggestions on the general direction, the relevant operational details were further discussed, and the framework of the privatization plan was proposed on the same day.

The efficiency can be described as very high.

Tang Jing also saw the level of high-level talents such as Zhao Feng, Ding Mei, and Sun Zhongda. There is indeed something, which immediately raised the level of governance in Chang'an.

It is no longer the grass team before.

.........

In the following week, Chang'an launched a vigorous privatization reform.

No construction has been done.

On February 2, the outer city wall of Chang'an was officially completed, and the construction of Chang'an City achieved a milestone achievement.

Pharmacies, farmer's markets, and banks have also been built.

On February 2, the Merlot Wharf on the banks of the Merlot River was officially completed.

The carpentry workshop was upgraded to a furniture factory, the textile workshop was upgraded to a garment factory, the winemaking workshop was upgraded to a fruit wine factory, and the construction of other factories is also progressing in an orderly manner.

Outside of Chang'an City, three to five affiliated villages were built almost every day.

In addition to the affiliated villages, Baishi Town, Huishui Town, Luoye Town, Haiwan Town, and Zhaoxia Town are being planned and constructed simultaneously, becoming the secondary centers of their respective regions.

Chang'an is no longer an isolated city.

During this period, under the auspices of Yue Fei, the reorganization of the Chang'an garrison division was coming to an end. The Red Flame Brigade and the Suppression Brigade had even left Chang'an and headed to the established field camp.

It means that a new round of sweeps is about to start.

But at this juncture, Haiwan Town, which is under construction, reported that the construction site was attacked by murlocs.Including the naval training camp built near Bay Town, it was also attacked.

"Murloc?"

Tang Jing got the report and realized that the sea was not safe.

Alien races also live.

Immediately, Yue Fei, the commander of the garrison division, was recruited, "The missions of the Suppression Brigade and the Red Flame Brigade remain unchanged, and we will move out according to the original plan. Let the Guards Battalion follow me to Haiwan Town."

"My lord wants to go in person?" Yue Fei was surprised.

"Do not worry!"

Accompanied by a full battalion of guards, Tang Jing didn't think there would be any danger.

Just to see what a murloc looks like.

.........

Haiwan Town was built on the banks of Playing Bay. When Tang Jing and his party arrived, the whole town was filled with a sad atmosphere. A total of twelve construction workers were brutally killed by murlocs.

The rest were also wounded.

The navy training camp was also doomed. The sailors who had just changed jobs were almost wiped out.

After a round of inspections, Tang Jing looked gloomy, and said to Qin Shuang, the director of military affairs who accompanied him, "After returning, ask the garrison to draw up a patrol plan to ensure the safety of the coastal villages and towns."

This is the first time that ordinary citizens in Chang'an have died in battle, and they have never suffered such a big loss from fighting orcs before.

"Are you considering setting up a coastal defense battalion under the City Guard Brigade to be responsible for the defense of the coastline?" Qin Shuang immediately suggested.

"can."

Tang Jing nodded, "The navy battalion should also be prepared as soon as possible. If there are no battleships, the coast will be fortified."

"understand!"

Qin Shuang nodded and wrote it down.

"Has everything been arranged?" Tang Jing turned to look at Jinwei Yingzheng Xu Chu.

before coming.

He has inquired about the murlocs from the dwarf Olin and the elf Ace.

"Like the goblins, the murlocs are also a very cunning and ferocious race. It is estimated that the tentacles of the territory extended to the sea, threatening the interests of the murlocs, so they launched revenge." Olin said.

This also means-

If the construction of Haiwan Town does not stop, the murlocs will go ashore to take revenge.

But from Tang Jing's point of view, Haiwan Town is located at the key point of Xishui Bay and is the outpost of Chang'an entering the sea. It is impossible to stop construction.

The conflict between the territory and the murlocs was already irreconcilable.

In this case.

Then it can only be suppressed by force, until the murlocs are subdued.

The Guards Battalion is here for that.

After the construction team resumed work, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were also dismantled and hid in the built houses and shops, quietly waiting for the second arrival of the murlocs.

It is bound to teach the murloc a bloody lesson.

But all the soldiers kept watch all night, but they didn't wait until the murlocs came ashore.

"My lord, will the murloc see through?" Xu Chu asked.

"probably not."

In order to deceive the public, before setting off, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion took off all their armor and weapons, transported them in a wheelbarrow, covered them with hay, and pretended to be a construction team coming for reinforcements.

Devil Tiger Knight deliberately left his mount in the camp.

There is no reason to be seen through.

At this moment, on the distant coastline, amidst the thick fog, there was a strange whispering sound.

"coming!"

Tang Jing, Xu Chu and others were shocked.

Murlocs are really cunning.

He didn't choose night, but took advantage of the early morning attack.
