total war rise of empire

Chapter 128 Farming and Development

[Prison (city level 4 building prerequisite must have an execution ground): The probability of "rebellion" in the city has decreased. 】

This building is the same as the execution ground. In fact, it doesn’t take much time. It only needs to renovate the place where the prisoners are held in the original city and assign soldiers to take care of it. However, it can only be built in occupied cities, not in the main city. of!
Lei Zihao subconsciously looked at the increasingly red color of the people in Pylos City, and curled his lips indifferently. Under this kind of oppressive taxation, it won't take long for Pylos City to completely decline. If they dare to If there is a rebellion, just suppress it. Li Si and Finn's people are stationed in the city of Pylos. There are tens of thousands of troops. I am really not afraid of any changes in the city of Pylos!
The worst case scenario would be to kill him and bleed like a river of blood!
Lei Zihao passed the prison and looked down.

[Park (city level 4 building): The probability of "escape" in the city is reduced, and it is easy to attract refugees. 】

This building seems to be weak, but the last one is still very powerful in attracting refugees. After Dragon Han City is upgraded to a 4th-level city, since there is no population limit in the main city in the upgrade conditions, naturally, the main task will no longer reward the population. Therefore, Lei Zihao can only rely on the buildings with the attribute of increasing refugees every day, and attract some systematic refugees here and there!

This park is still worth building!
Another part of the gold coin resource was deducted...

[Brothel (city level 4 building): city tax increases by 15%, city security and health decrease by 10%, joy increases by 5%, you can recruit military prostitutes here, greatly improve the morale of the army during the march and camp, and greatly reduce the march The emergence of deserters during the camp. 】

When Lei Zihao saw this building, his expression was very exciting, because he used the relaxation street set up by the Pylos woman in advance, which is actually similar to a brothel, except that the increased city tax is not so exaggerated...

To build this kind of building or not to build it?

Lei Zihao would never have built this kind of building if there hadn't been a 15% increase in city tax. Anyway, he doesn't have a shortage of military prostitutes...

However, such things as brothels are similar to later generations of high-end clubs. They are absolute taxpayers and have great benefits for the steady flow of financial revenue. As for the reduction in public security and health, it is nothing. Before Lei Zihao established So many buildings that increase health and security are enough to offset the negative impact of brothels.

In the end, Lei Zihao set aside gold coin resources to build a brothel. No matter what, money is the foundation of development!

It's a pity that there are very few additional buildings on level [-], only a few, and they are all auxiliary. There is no building similar to the mint that makes Lei Zihao's heart beat...

Thanks to the standard monetary system of large and small silver coins implemented by the mint, a large amount of metals such as gold in the cities under Lei Zihao's command have been recycled into Lei Zihao's small treasury, successfully turning Lei Zihao's financial income into a negative value……

However, with Lei Zihao’s repeated victories, the government’s reputation is still quite good, and the IOUs issued by Lei Zihao are also regarded as currency substitutes by those businessmen who need large transactions. The currency can only be used to offset the tax burden collected by the government led by Lei Zihao, and there will be certain preferential discounts. This is a feedback benefit for those who are willing to write IOUs to Lei Zihao!
If there is no benefit at all, who is willing to exchange real gold for IOUs?

This has nothing to do with the reputation of the government. It is entirely human beings' desire for profit. In the history of the earth, the government issued treasury bonds to raise funds, didn't they also have interest?

This kind of IOU is actually similar to the simple treasury bonds issued by Lei Zihao relying on the government's credibility. It is Lei Zihao's method to gather gold resources and promote the monetary system of large and small silver coins. After all, gold collected can be directly invested in the total war system. Convert them into gold coin resources and use them to upgrade buildings and recruit troops!

After completing a series of building upgrades and constructions, Lei Zihao couldn't help frowning when he saw the remaining gold coin resources of less than [-].

That is a resource of more than [-] gold coins, and it is just a fraction of the cost to upgrade all the buildings to four levels!

Although there is an additional consumption of accelerating construction expenditure, there is also a reduction in construction costs brought about by a large number of free labor of slaves!

Lei Zihao reluctantly glanced at the Temple of Love and the Temple of Wealth, and temporarily gave up the temptation to build these two buildings. The remaining gold coin resources Lei Zihao still has to deal with temporary crises, concretizing the army, Don't dare to spend all of it!

Thanks to the fact that today's army can be directly dispatched from the barracks, Lei Zihao did not recruit in advance, otherwise, Lei Zihao would be responsible for the consumption of food and basic supplies!

The Lancers have been disbanded and turned into cavalry patrols, scouts and other scattered cavalry patrols. Longhan City now has only one thousand-man Spartan Guards, one thousand-man Scarlet Crusade, and tens of thousands of Crusader cannon fodder. .

Lei Zihao, the tens of thousands of crusader cannon fodder, does not need to pay extra military pay. He only needs to manage the saturation and distribute some living supplies regularly. Although the consumption is a bit high, it is definitely a profitable business to use it to suppress Pylos City. !

Lei Zihao only needed to pay for the Spartan Guards and the Scarlet Crusade. Although it was high, fortunately, the number of people was not too many. With the income from Longhan City, it was more than enough!

Lei Zihao's power as a whole is developing in a virtuous circle, and the IOUs issued to the people are expected to be fully recovered after the tax is paid in 502 of the Dark Calendar!
After that is the net income!
The forces under Lei Zihao's command are developing steadily and soundly, and the establishment of the country is also proceeding in an orderly manner, the formation of the cabinet, the standardized taxation team, the transformation of the militia into the construction of the city guard, and so on!
In Lei Zihao's plan, in the future Golden Dragon Kingdom, each city will have its own local city guard, which will be under the command of the local military chief, responsible for public security and city defense.

These city guards are mainly trained by local people, and they are maintained by the city's tax revenue!
According to the degree of loyalty and size of the city, the level of taxes, etc., the number and size of the city guards will vary greatly.

Of course, apart from the city guards converted from such local militias, Lei Zihao relied heavily on the field troops directly under him!
The regular troops drawn from various barracks will be the main force of the future field forces!
Of course, according to the needs of future wars, there will be different numbers of cannon fodder troops. In the cold weapon war, the cannon fodder servant army is an indispensable part!
