Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 24 Territorial Contradictions
The fleet soon docked near Xingyue Village. Since there was no dock, Cheng Huang had to find a hidden harbor to dock.

He did this, firstly because he was afraid that the lake would wash away the boat, and secondly because he was afraid of being discovered by water bandits.

Although the territory was protected by the system before it was upgraded to a township, water bandits did not dare to invade.But after being discovered by the water bandits, it would be a bad idea to deploy heavy troops to block Xingyue Village!

When the ship docked, hundreds of people disembarked, leaving a small number of people to guard the ship.Cheng Huang led the way for the rest of them, dragging a long line towards Xingyue Village.

It's May now, the grass is green everywhere, the air is exceptionally fresh, and Cheng Huang's mood becomes happier again.

Not far from Xingyue Village, Cheng Huang was stunned by the scenery in front of him.

I saw that the wasteland that used to be overgrown with weeds has become a piece of fertile land.Although no crops have been planted in the fields, the rural scenery has begun to take shape.In the fields, groups of farmers are planting seeds.

In "Emperor Map", the food in the player's territory is not planted once a year, but harvested every three months.As a land of fish and rice, Dongting Lake has a systematic increase in grain production.

As soon as Cheng Huang's team appeared, they were spotted by Wang Ping's patrol team. Wang Ping had already brought his men out to meet them.

"Brother," Wang Ping said excitedly when he saw Qin Fang brought so many people, "Go out for a few days, it seems that brother has gained a lot!"

Seeing that the thirteen NPC soldiers lined up behind Wang Ping, Cheng Huang was also very happy, and quickly introduced: "Come on, Zijun, this is Jiang Qin, Jiang Gongyi, Gongyi, this is my brother Wang Ping."

"I have long admired you," Wang Ping immediately cupped his hands affectionately.As for Jiang Qin, seeing Wang Ping's unattractive appearance, he just bowed his hands slightly.

"Let's go! Let's go into the village and say," Cheng Huang led the team to the village at the moment.

In a few days, the village has changed drastically.The village is surrounded by a wooden fence that is more than ten feet high.Walking into the entrance of the village, rows of private houses are neatly arranged on both sides of the street, and various shops and military camps have also been built.

When Cheng Huang led the team to the open space in the village, the village chief Wang Lie came out to welcome them. "My lord," he saluted, but there was no excitement on his face.

With a thump in his heart, Cheng Huang hurriedly asked: "Old Wang, what happened?"

A shy smile appeared on Wang Lie's face, "It's okay, welcome all strong men." Cheng Huang quickly introduced Jiang Qin and Wang Lao.

The next thing is simple, Wang Lie registers the water bandits to enter the house, while Cheng Huang checks their attributes one by one.

In "Emperor Map", the lord can only check the attributes if he is registered as a villager in his own territory, or a general who has recognized the lord.And when checking the attributes, the lord must also touch the person being checked with his hands.

Cheng Huang couldn't help but beam with joy when he checked this.

Among the more than 600 men brought by Jiang Qin, there were actually two senior shipbuilders, and one of them was young, and his aptitude had reached excellence.In other words, he has a high chance of being promoted to a master shipbuilder.

A master-class shipbuilder can build a king-class warship.You know, the king-class battleship represents the highest level in the game world.This king-class warship will become an invincible emperor-class warship after Xingyue Village's attributes are added.

With the Huang-class battleship, it is no longer a dream for Xingyue Village's navy to run rampant in the waters of Huangtu World.If there is an emperor-class warship, is there any need to be afraid of Huang Zu?

It's just that if he wants to raise his shipbuilding book to the master level, it won't be achieved overnight.But even so, the two senior shipbuilders were enough to keep Cheng Huang excited for a long time.

"Hey," Cheng Huang couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, the ambiguous look in his eyes made the two shipbuilders get goosebumps all over their bodies.

In addition to senior shipbuilders, there are also senior carpenters, senior builders, and senior blacksmiths in this group.This made Cheng Huang even more excited, and immediately ordered Mr. Wang to give these skilled workers special treatment. In addition to increasing their salaries, they also built separate courtyards for them to live in.

In addition, Cheng Huang also quietly told Wang Lie that he must match these technicians if he has the opportunity. As long as they have family members again, are they afraid that they will not work for Xingyue Village honestly?

In addition to senior technicians, there are also many intermediate technicians and junior technicians in this group.Of course, the most combatants are fighters, after all, they are from water bandits!
It was not until the evening that these new households were allocated.Among them, there are 200 young and strong water bandits who are suitable for combat.Cheng Huang assigned 200 of the 120 people with excellent qualifications to Jiang Qin to lead them to train the navy.

Of course, before training the navy, the piers and docks had to be built first.With these skilled workers, building docks and docks is no problem.

In addition, water bandits with lesser qualifications were transferred to non-combat workers in various industries.Except for these 200 people, the remaining skilled workers and their families have been properly arranged.In addition, Cheng Huang also ordered Wang Lie to send people to build more private houses, and strive for each house to have an independent room to live in.

Seeing that the people in the open space had been taken to his residence, Cheng Huang asked Wang Ping to accompany Jiang Qin, and walked into the village chief's office by himself, and Wang Lie also followed in.

"Old Wang, it's a good thing to increase the population of the territory, but why are you so unhappy?" Seeing Wang Lie entering the room, Cheng Huang turned his head and asked seriously.

"Hey," Wang Lie sighed heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "My lord, where did you find these water bandits? You can see how vicious they all look. I guess they have done a lot of outrageous things before. Anyway. , With these people, the law and order in the village must be difficult to manage, not to mention, how can I wait for scholars to be with these villains?"

After listening to Wang Lie's words, Cheng Huang suddenly realized that this Wang Lie was deeply influenced by traditional Confucianism, so he was inevitably a bit old-fashioned.

"Old Wang, why do you think so?" Cheng Huang persuaded: "Think about it, if we let them continue to be pirates, how many merchants will suffer. Let's lead them on the right path, which is also doing meritorious deeds." Ah! Elder Wang, in my opinion, we should not only accept them, but also teach them to do meaningful things to make up for their sins, wouldn't it be better?"

After listening to Cheng Huang's words, Wang Lie nodded thoughtfully.Cheng Huang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Old Wang, when our territory develops and a school is established, the task of educating them will be entrusted to you."

"The lord ordered, how dare I not obey."

Seeing Wang Lie agree, Cheng Huang smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Old Wang, how is the development of the territory recently!"

Speaking of the territory, Wang Lie immediately showed a trace of pride on his face, "Master, with your materials, our territory has developed extremely rapidly," he said, and handed the village chief's handbook to Cheng Huang.
