God said the world

Chapter 407
I grew up in the desert since I was a child. The climate in the desert is extremely harsh. During the day, it is like being in a furnace, and at night, it is like an ice cellar. Monster, and that's what I grew up with.

Here is an ancient desert tribe with a large number of people, but no one knows who they are and where they came from. In the end, they positioned themselves as desert people. Lost in the river of time.

It wasn't until people from my family appeared that things improved. The ancestors said that desert people are simple and friendly in nature, just teach them characters, and don't mention all the twists and turns of the truth, so my family settled down in the desert tribe.

Thousands of years passed in a flash.

Until I was born, the elders taught me all kinds of knowledge, such as civil affairs, military affairs, city affairs, and government affairs. At the beginning, I didn’t understand why they taught me these things. Only then did you tell me the history of my family.

My name is Li Gu. The reason why I gave me the word "Gu" is the meaning of hometown. Even though my family lived in the desert for several years ago, we have never forgotten our hometown, which is a city outside the desert. It is called "Xiliang".

And my family is the loyal servants of the Li family in the Gaochang royal court in Xiliang, so we also follow the Li family's surname Li. My family has always served the Li family royal family, and even served as the governor of the Xiliang City City Lord's Mansion. It can be said that the entire West Liangcheng is the brainchild of the ancestors of my family, and our family values ​​Xiliang City more than Gaochang Royal Court.

The ancestors said that one night, the army of the Celestial Dynasty suddenly rushed into the city, killing everyone they saw, burning houses when they saw them, a group of demons who were alive and well, Xiliang City also had soldiers, and there were also elites, but that could withstand the number of soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty. Endless army?

Therefore, the Gaochang royal family took a bloody road and escaped with their descendants, but my family got lost with the Gaochang royal family while escaping.

At that time, the token of the city lord of Xiliang City was kept in the hands of the ancestors, and they were taken out of Xiliang City together. Unfortunately, the ancestors lost the token of the city lord in the desert and could never get it back.

This has become a regret for my family, and it is also one of the most important things in my life, to retrieve the Xiliang City Order.

Second, it has been warned from generation to generation that no matter who is awarded the Xiliang City Order, our clan will send a representative to serve as the steward of the Xiliang City City Lord's Mansion, a loyal and loyal auxiliary city lord.

Therefore, our family will select one person from each generation of newborn babies, and use all resources to educate this baby. When it comes to my generation, this representative is me, Li Gu.

For Xiliang City, I certainly yearn for it, but after thousands of years, there has never been a city lord in Xiliang City. The talents cultivated by my family are just waiting for aging and death every day. As for me?I'm no exception, I don't have to do any work here, just wait day by day until the day I die.

Suddenly one day, the elders of the clan called me over and told me that my mission had arrived, as long as I left the tribe and headed southward, I would arrive at Xiliang City, where the city lord was waiting for me.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for me, but the elders didn't allow me to stay longer, and immediately threw me a simple salute, telling me to set off right away, yelling and chasing me away, I could see the desire and excitement in the eyes of the elders After all, they are also selected people, but they are already old.

I didn't have many choices, so I picked up a simple salute and was about to leave. When I walked out of the tribe, my friend Gotulu was secretly followed by people in the tribe, saying that they wanted to protect me.

It’s good to have a bodyguard. After all, the people in the desert tribes are strong and powerful. They have to fight and kill all kinds of monsters in the desert every day, and they have developed good skills. My good friend Getu Of course, Lu is no exception, and he is still one of the best among his peers. Unfortunately, the desert tribes do not advocate personal force.

After walking for nearly a month, many monsters appeared on the road, all of which were dealt with by Gotulu.

Gotulu has never seen what a city looks like. In fact, I haven’t seen it either, so I can’t tell why. But when we walked out of the desert, we saw a city that looked like a city. When the word "Xiliang" was written, I knew this was the hometown my people dreamed of coming back to.

However, this hometown is too dilapidated, right?The city walls have collapsed places, and there is no simple repair after the collapse. No wonder the elders hurried me out. I am afraid that the city lord is not proficient in these things.

After seeing the city lord, there was almost no unnecessary nonsense, and I became the governor of the city lord's mansion. The city lord didn't even ask me about my origin, and then started to study the issue of conscription and garrison and strengthening the city wall.

I didn't immediately answer the question of the city lord, and the city lord didn't mean to ask for my opinion. It seems that I just need my help. But if this kind of thing, wouldn't the training of my ancestors be in vain?
So, after a few days of my inspection tour of Quanquan City, I directly advised the city lord: Conscripting should be done sooner rather than later, but you must be mentally prepared, the maximum number of soldiers that can be recruited in Xiliang City will not exceed [-].

The cost of building the city wall is even greater, and the current City Lord's Mansion cannot afford it in terms of financial resources and manpower.

And...more and more questions arose.

Seeing Lord City Lord frowning deeply, I realized that being the Lord of a city is really not easy, which is why I am important.

………………

Faced with the appearance of Li Gu, Absolute Boring and the others were extremely happy, but they also faced a development problem. Conscription only needs a notice, but where do weapons and armor come from?Where will the soldiers be stationed?It's impossible to tell them to go home to sleep at night, right?
What Li Gu meant was: conscription, construction of barracks, smelting workshops, blacksmith workshops, artisan workshops, textile workshops, and iron ore factories before building workshops (if there is no iron square, all iron blocks must be purchased from outside) and cotton planting Hemp crops.

The same is involved.

It's a good idea to build a barracks with soldiers as work, but it's absolutely boring and faces a serious problem, funding.

The entire city of Xiliang has no income, and it is impossible to collect taxes from the people in the city. If the people in the city don't need relief from the city lord's mansion, the city lord's mansion will laugh, let alone tax collection.

It turned out that digging wells, reclaiming wasteland and planting seeds had already used up Absolute Boring’s funds, plus the rations of the people in the city, making Absolute Boring and the others poorer day by day.

In the end, the breeder decided to leave Xiliang City and accepted the huge sum of money hired by the Juyi League to help Xiliang City's financial problems. At the same time, he also brought a lot of medicines. Sell ​​for more funds.

It was not until half a year later that the first army in Xiliang City was established. The soldiers were all equipped with weapons and leather armor. It is a Tang knife, and the whole body is tightly wrapped with armor.

Usually, the hundred-man guards will be assigned to serve as guards next to each person, and they will go out to fight and practice. At critical moments, it is absolutely boring and they can gather hundreds of people.

It took Absolutely Boring a lot of hard work just to cultivate this centurion.

Knife guard: ninth rank.

Weapon: Refined Tang Dao.

Equipment: Standard full body armor.

Attribute: super fast.

This [-]-man team is not only strong in combat effectiveness, but more importantly, their attribute is "superior speed". The scope of super speed here is very wide, which means: super fast action and super fast attack.

In other words, the hundred guards with swords belonged to the fast attack type.

In the early stage of the construction of various workshops in Xiliang City, it was impossible to create such weapons and equipment. The equipment and weapons of the entire knife team were absolutely boring and purchased from players with real money, in order to reduce the burden on everyone first. After all, relying on more than 20 people to patrol Xiliang City day and night, it is really stretched. With hundreds of people joining, it gave everyone a buffer.

The original two-person patrol can be replaced by one person with five to eight sword-wielding guards as a team to guard the city, and at the same time let the sword-wielding guards accumulate experience.

How to accumulate experience?Of course, it was because of the increase in the number of players staring at the surrounding areas outside Xiliang City.

While weakening the opponent, you can also strengthen yourself, why not do it?
But all of these were proposed by Li Gu to Absolute Boring, and they were all ideas to solve the urgent task.

Gradually, everyone realized that Li Gu was not just a simple person in charge of the city lord's mansion, nor was he like an ordinary NPC. , everything is to put Xiliang City first.

The guards with knives were trained in advance, which is a surprise soldier Li Gu set up to guard against the enemy's sneak attack at night. Although Li Gu has seen and understood the strength of Absolute Boring, Brother Gui, and the Five Lords, but have you seen it? It used to be that the generals went into battle to kill the enemy. Is there an army without soldiers?Is this still the army?It's a bare-bones commander.

Therefore, the players watching from the outside just saw that Xiliang City has limited manpower, only more than 20 people in the area, there are always negligence, and this sword-wielding guard was born to make up for this negligence.

Afterwards, Li Gu took Gotulu and ten guards with knives to go out to search for ore sources. When he left, he said to Absolute Boring: Now the workshop is only in the state of preparation, and adults should focus on agricultural development. Only when there is food can there be food. soldier.

More than half a month later, Li Gu came back and brought back a map of Xiliang area that he had drawn by himself. He also marked several places on the map, namely "stone", "iron", "gold" and "silver".

There are more than ten landmarks on the map, which undoubtedly brought great wealth to Xiliang City.

Weapons and armor cannot be separated from iron, and city defense buildings cannot be separated from stone. Both of them need gold and silver to pay the salaries of workers and soldiers... From that moment on, Xiliang City has been developing various industries in full swing.
