my fortress

Chapter 16 The Reform Movement
In the next few days, the orcs returned to their previous calm, huddled in the camp, neither attacking nor retreating, as if waiting for something.

As for Yifei, he also hoped that the money-giving boy outside would not run away, so the plan to harass him at night was useless.

Originally, he planned to recruit some cavalry archers, and then go out to harass the orc camp every night, but he suddenly thought that even if the cavalry archers killed the orcs, he would have no way to clean up the battlefield, wouldn't this be a waste of resources.

Because of the generous gift from the orcs last time, his small treasury was filled up at once. He generously used 4000 gold coins to buy 1000 units of stone from the system store, expanded the city again, and built many new buildings at the same time. Fewer new commercial units.

Although he has to pay one more worker's salary for each additional commercial building, after selling the products produced by the commercial building to the system every month, he can get an additional income of two worker's salary, especially those valuable military buildings, he gets more gold coins.

But because among the raw materials needed by those military industrial units, the only thing he can get is wood, so he builds more candle workshops and food buildings in some urban buildings.

At the same time, he also spent 500 gold coins extravagantly to build a market. Originally, he just wanted to see if there was any difference between the market in the game and the reality.

But he never imagined that in the game, only a market for automatic purchase and sale can be provided, and that building, which looks like a chicken rib, has solved a big problem for him!
After being concretized into reality, the market was able to provide a certain number of shops to the residents in the territory, allowing them to conduct transactions among themselves, but he was able to collect the rent and taxes of some shops from the middle.

This extra harvest surprised him, which meant that he had another way to return the gold coins.And because of this, he had a wonderful idea, which is to start developing various lands in his own territory!
Since the shops can be sold, of course the houses can also be sold!

So he issued an announcement, deciding to publicly sell the permanent residence and use rights of private houses. To put it bluntly, he sold the houses, sold the houses built by consuming wood to the people under his command, and then collected all the gold coins in their hands. !
This announcement immediately made the residents in the castle excited. The first buyers were those big wage earners, the four armed soldiers, except for Robbie at the beginning, he not only got back the gold coins they received this month, but also made them They were in debt for three years.

Those armed sergeants will pay the remaining balance in installments over three years, and Yifei only needs to pay him 10 gold coins as salary every month!
And Robbie Yifei, who made great contributions, directly gave him a house.

Next was the stingy Simon, that good man who never took part in any gambling, also bought a residential house from Yifei, and also paid the remaining balance in installments of three years, and Yifei didn't even need to pay him any salary every month.

For this point, Yifei was still a little guilty, and suggested that Simon should extend the installment payment period, anyway, he would not charge them interest, but Simon resolutely refused, and told Yifei, let him not worry, their The family can afford to pay for the home purchase.

After some questioning, Yifei found out that Simon's family came from a family of swordsmen, and among the ten Crusaders under him, there were three Crusaders who were brothers with him!
After hearing the news, Yifei was stunned. Why did this happen again? Didn’t they come out of the system? Why are there four brothers, a typical family of swordsmen? No wonder he is so confident. The total income is even higher than Robbie, a big wage earner!
After knowing this, Yifei accepted Simon's request to buy a house in installments with great peace of mind. At the same time, other soldiers under his command also formed small groups to apply to him for buying a house.

He agreed with all these requests, and in just two days, twelve huts built in the city were sold.

Immediately, the amount of gold coins in his small treasury increased a lot, and he basically didn't need to pay any salary every month. Although the tax was much less, he could use the tax he got every day with peace of mind.

As for the situation where the remaining payment cannot be collected due to war casualties in the future, he also issued an announcement that all families of soldiers who died in battle for the lord will be exempted from the remaining payment.

The original purpose was to reduce expenditures. Now that the purpose has been achieved, of course he will not oppress the people under his command, because he found that there is not much in this world, that is, there are many lands and forests.

He only needs to consume a little wood to build a shed, so he is very generous. The most important thing is that the system is very considerate, and the shanty does not occupy the number of construction units, which allows him to implement the so-called commercial housing resale very smoothly. plan!

And because of these two announcements, when he gained more territory in the future, every village that was merged into his command would support him very much, which he did not expect.

But at the same time, he was also labeled as a different kind by the entire aristocratic class!
After Yifei got inspiration from selling "commercial housing", he turned his goal to other aspects.

After the sale of commercial housing, he found that although the system is very rigidly set for the raw materials required for various building constructions, there are some loopholes in the use of those buildings that have already been built!

Just like a shanty, according to the regulations of the system, a shanty can live in a maximum of 8 residents, but in reality, as long as the residents don't dislike being crowded, dozens of people can live in it!
He knew this when he visited Simon’s house. There are 8 rooms in a shanty. Simon and his four brothers, after buying a shanty, found a partner in lightning speed, got married, and now they live in that shanty There are actually ten people living here, that is, four newlyweds and their parents!
After discovering this, Yifei suddenly understood that the system was just his golden finger, which could provide him with some miraculous help and let him live better in this world, instead of restricting him.

He can rationally use various magical means of the system to build his own territory in this world!
After understanding this point, Yifei found that the system in his hands with no connotation is a good system, unlike other books, which restrict this and that at every turn, and even come up with obliterating tasks.

And the system he obtained is purely a bug. He can use this system to do whatever he wants under the conditions set by the system. He doesn't have to worry about waking up suddenly one day and receiving an obliteration task!
After figuring this out, he set out to implement his plan.

So while the people in the territory were still excited because they had a house of their own, he opened up the right to use various industrial, food and commercial buildings.

According to the announcement he posted, as the lord, he hopes that all Ziming in the territory can live better and better, and is willing to sell the ownership of various industries, food and commercial buildings in the territory, but every The lords of these buildings not only have to pay for the purchase of these buildings, but also have to hand over 40% of the monthly output to the lord!
After posting this announcement, Yifei was worried about whether the tax rate was a little higher, 40.00%, very exploitative!
But he did not expect that after the announcement was posted, it immediately aroused enthusiastic support from the residents of the territory. The first to set an example was Tom and others. It is to ensure that they can have enough malt beer for themselves.

And the newly recruited honorary halberd soldiers made a request that Yifei couldn't refuse. They hoped to buy a piece of land outside the city, with the purpose of building a martial arts training ground to facilitate the training of their children.

For this idea, Yifei firmly supports it, because he wants to see how this building that is not in the system building unit is built.

The next scene made him stupid. The so-called martial arts training ground of those halberd soldiers just used some wood as a fence, enclosed a small piece of land, and put some things made of stone inside, and some teenagers would come here every day. , Do some basic martial arts exercises!

This is the reality, the game will never be able to conceive all the data that can be realized!

After seeing the martial arts training ground established by the Halberd Soldiers, Yifei's feelings became more profound. Although the residents and soldiers under his command were all realized out of thin air through the system, after the realization, they were all alive. A person with flesh and blood and feelings!
At the same time, he also made several new discoveries. From the children trained by the halberd soldiers, he found that he could actually arm the people under his command, and it did not account for the population of soldiers. The only disadvantage was that these armed soldiers did not come from The soldiers recruited in the barracks were tough, and he couldn't check the data of these soldiers.

After discovering this, he didn't care, but seemed very excited.

Because this result made him understand that in the future he can have more troops through this method.

Secondly, after increasing the number of people working in those workshops, the number of commodities produced every day can also increase.Take the bow and arrow workshop as an example. In the initial setting of the system, one worker per workshop can produce one longbow a day.

After the bow and arrow workshop was contracted by the people, because of the increase in the number of people working, more than one longbow was handed in in one day, and he didn't need to pay any workers' wages.

At the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Now that the territory does not have any commercial environment, how did these unpaid leaders get the gold coins?
After some inquiring, he discovered that these citizens obtained gold coins through transactions with the system, and part of the taxes he collected came from the transactions between the leaders and the system!

After discovering this, he was very surprised, and at the same time a little happy, haha, he actually collected the tax from the system!

At this time, Yifei also found that the display of the game had changed for the first time. The population statistics of the territory were more detailed. It was no longer calculated based on the number of shanties he built, but all the population of the territory was displayed. out.

After discovering this, he also felt that the system would change for some of his actions, but the direction of the change was beneficial to him.

This also made him more certain that the system is actually an auxiliary tool with some magical functions, and the main body is himself!

After realizing this point, Yifei suddenly had an idea that he might be able to take advantage of the changes in the system to gain greater power in this world, when the time comes...
Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a wicked smile.
