The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 34 Horse thief, attacking the city
Favorability and reputation are both in the diplomacy column, but these two are not the same thing.

To put it simply, favorability can be regarded as the favorability of a single country to players, and reputation is the performance of a country as a whole in the continent.

Because of the collapse of the trade talks in Mi County before, the favorability of Xinguo really dropped sharply. Unexpectedly, this time the troops were dispatched, but the favorability was increased again.

Ren Tian shook his head in his heart, not thinking about it, he clicked on the building system panel again and looked at the newly built building.

"Building: Casino (Small)
Build cost: 5 gold

Effect: Improve the prosperity of the city; have a chance to attract talents who like gambling to come to gamble; provide taxes. "

This gambling house was a newly built building a few days ago. In addition to the brothel and tavern, it is the third type of building that appeared in the new country. It is almost completed today.

Therefore, Ren Tian took Xiao Dengzi and headed towards the casino.

The gambling house was built near the bridge opposite the tavern. It is the place with the largest flow of people. After crossing the bridge, you can only see a building on the left side with a wooden plaque protruding from it with the word "Gambling House" written on it. But there is a piece of cloth at the door to block the situation inside.

Ren Tian clasped his hands and watched as people from the New Kingdom opened the curtains and went in from time to time. He was extremely emotional. Gambling has been very prosperous throughout the ages. Gambling in China has been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty.

Gambling houses, like brothels, were entertainment industries in ancient times and could provide a lot of tax revenue to the country.

Pushing open the curtain and going in, you can see tall and thick men standing around the gambling house, holding their hands and looking at the customers inside coldly.

The gambling house is very lively, there are already many people here, and there are many gamblers around every big table.

The gambling house is still relatively small, there is no second floor, only a few tables on the first floor, but even so, it is still overcrowded.

Ren Tian curiously went over to take a look at the contents of several tables of gambling. In fact, they were all common, including odd and even numbers, dice, four-door treasures, pai gow, fantan, etc. As for the other special ones, such as playing grasshoppers and cockfights, etc. , but not.

"Your Majesty, do you want to try?"

Little Dengzi asked in a low voice.

Ren Tian looked at it with interest: "Just take a look."

The casino is newly built, so he will definitely come to visit it. As for gambling, he has no interest.

After walking around for a while, Ren Tian walked out of the casino.

In front of you is the repaired main street in Nan County, which is very flat and clean, with neat bluestone slabs, a hawker not far in front, a child running forward excitedly with bare feet, and the rest of the people are coming and going .

The overall prosperity of Nan County has reached 62. At the beginning, it was only 55. After this period of construction and road renovation projects, the prosperity has improved a lot.

Along this street, there is a newly built mansion in the west of the city. This is the Honglu Temple, which is responsible for receiving envoys and foreign guests from other countries.

In addition, there are several private houses under construction along the street, and the prototypes of the houses have begun to take shape.

Settling in the city in the game is actually quite difficult. Generally speaking, a country attracts more refugees, and those refugees will gather around the city, so there will be more farms. After there are more farms, there will be more landlords who accumulate wealth. , and have money to settle in the city.

"How beautiful."

Ren Tian sighed, and then his eyes fell on the middle-aged man who came out of the brothel not far away.

Ever since the brothel opened, this middle-aged man always wanted to go to the brothel, and Ren Tian could basically judge that this person was considered a historical celebrity, and should be a cultural celebrity, not a political celebrity.

This disappointed Ren Tian, ​​so although he still maintained his friendship with the middle-aged man, he didn't go to see him very often. This kind of background of wars and strife would be useful for a country with a strong culture. Government!

……

at the same time.

Wang Xuan had already rushed to Ping County with a thousand soldiers and stationed directly in Ping County.

A regiment of the New Kingdom, with [-] soldiers, was divided into three parts. The largest part was naturally Tuan County where Tian Dan was stationed.

Tian Dan took the soldiers and began to check the situation of the city wall, turning the city wall around.

"Commander Tian, ​​how is the situation?"

Xie Dang asked anxiously.

"Some places need to be repaired, and a lot of logs need to be prepared. At the same time, more arrows are needed, and hot water needs to be prepared."

"No problem, I'll order people to cut the wood right now."

Xie Dang hurriedly gave the order that the log needs to be cut, and the arrow needs to be made.

After giving the order, Xie Dang looked at Commander Tian: "Don't worry, Commander Tian, ​​there was an ordnance bureau left over from the time of Gaozu in Mi County. Although some of the equipment in it is old, it is still usable. If it is fully produced, it can produce [-] pieces a day. An arrow, no problem."

Tian Dan nodded: "That's the best, County Magistrate Xie, please go and defend the city wall, don't worry."

Xie Dang hurried down the city wall to get busy, Tian Dan called a few soldiers and asked them to disguise themselves and go to investigate the situation in Qinglong Village and closely monitor the movement in the north of Mi County.

Thus, the race against time and preparations began.

Tian Dan arranged to take turns to be on duty at night. Even at night, there were lights on the walls of Mi County.

Tian Dan's expression was still very calm. Two thousand soldiers were enough to defend the city, but it was not enough. The most important thing was how to destroy Qinglong Village.

Time passed in the tense and busy atmosphere of Mi County. In just four days, there were another [-] arrows. The nearby forest outside also felled a lot of wood and made it into logs.

Regarding the training of these two thousand soldiers, Tian Dan did not miss out, he practiced every day, and one more thing, Xie Dang did not treat these soldiers badly, they were all good meat preparations.

"Commander Tian, ​​you should eat some too."

Xie Dang is very enthusiastic.

Tian Dan shook his head: "It doesn't matter, you eat first."

"It's only early in the morning today. Qinglong Village should not choose this time to attack."

The siege requires sufficient vision, so the siege battle will be carried out during the daytime, and it is also easy to schedule. Otherwise, the siege at night will be brightly lit with torches below, while the top of the city is completely dark, and you will not be able to hide even if you want.

Another thing is that soldiers also need adequate rest, so they will not attack the city at night, and the military activities at night are all raids on the camp.

While talking, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in front.

Tian Dan looked forward and saw not far ahead, a large group of horse thieves, even close to a thousand bandits, walking towards Mi County.

Horse thief, attacking the city!
