Lin Mu was a little amused when he heard Li Dian's hesitation. Although his performance and personality at this time were powerful, he was not yet arrogant and fierce. Instead, he had the feeling of an approachable boy next door.
However, this kind of personality gave Lin Mu great confidence to recruit him. He was able to defend this stronghold for the innocent soldiers and civilians, to think of them, to repay his father's favor, and endured three years of military training without any regrets. He was worthy of being a loyal and righteous man.
"General Li, you don't need to worry. Our territory is currently in dire need. We have sufficient land and require a lot of manpower to develop it. As long as these relatives are willing to come to our territory, they will have land to plant and food to eat. The old have something to rely on, and the young have something to teach them!”
Li Dian thinks about the problem from the perspective of an aborigine. In peacetime, generally aborigines with territories will not collect large numbers of people. For them, it is a burden.
The territory established by the aboriginal people is called "Lingzhuang", and the concept of "territory" can only be owned by nobles who have been given a title.
There are restrictions on Aboriginal villages or territories, and construction can only be done on private land. The imperial system has strict requirements for land reclamation, and huge taxes must be paid on the output. Of course, the land reclaimed will not continue to be so heavily taxed. After a certain period of time, such as 3 years, 5 years, etc., the heavy tax will be cancelled, and it will be different from other land. Same.
In addition, over the years of development of the Han Dynasty, some fertile, safe, and rainy land was developed and became state land or private land.
The remaining land will either be as remote as Yinglong Valley, or as barren as Wenyuan Village, with much greater security, requirements, and difficulty.
Therefore, for this kind of thankless farming and land reclamation, generally the aborigines will not spend manpower and material resources to do it. They all have enough land.
As for the player's territory, because there are system restrictions and territory level restrictions, they will not be able to open up wasteland and farm without restrictions like Lin Mu who has the Yellow Dragon Divine Order.
Looking at the problem from the perspective of a lord, land and population are the largest and most important resources!
Therefore, Lin Mu's demand for population was beyond Li Dian's imagination.
"In this case, I would like to thank Lin Sima for his generous acceptance on behalf of many relatives." Li Dian cupped his fists and saluted.
Lin Mu smiled slightly, patted Li Dian on the shoulder and said, "I should be the one thanking you for conquering Qinglong Village this time and bringing huge development potential to our territory!"
Later, Lin Mu learned about the composition of the craftsmen in detail, and sure enough, most of them were miners and blacksmiths.
"General Li, aren't there other rare professions among craftsmen?" Lin Mu asked softly.
"A rare profession, are you a prospector? A swordsmith?" Li Dian asked in a daze.
"Yes, that's it."
"Yes, our village originally had twenty prospectors, including one master prospector and six expert prospectors... Unfortunately, after the uprising, Xu Zhao gathered some high-level professionals and transferred them Already?" Li Dian said harshly.
After hearing the previous words, Lin Mu was still looking forward to it, but the bad news that followed made him sink.
"What about the swordsmith?" The swordsmith is a separate faction in the blacksmith profession. It belongs to the blacksmith, but it only specializes in swordmaking.
"The swordsmiths in the village are skilled in the casting of ceremonial swords. They forged a large number of very fine ceremonial swords for Xu Zhao, sold them to wealthy people, gathered a lot of wealth, and then used them to support the development of the military. Before the incident, , they all moved too.”
"All moved? Where?" Lin Mu asked with a frown.
"This...I can't. These are what I promised when I was training the army for Xu Zhao, not to leak any information about that place. If Lin Sima wants to ask Xu Zhao about the composition, layout, etc. of the army, I can't, sorry!" Li Dian said in a deep voice, indicating that he was very firm about these things, but despite his firmness, Li Dian felt a little indebted.
Feeling the slightest hint of debt from Li Dian, Lin Mu's heart moved, as long as he felt he was indebted!
Afterwards, Lin Mu analyzed Li Dian's words and frowned, shifting? Does he still have a way out? Could it be that Xu Zhao's side will not be wiped out by the players and Longting in the end, as happened in history?
The background and layout of these county overlords are definitely not what they appear to be.
Lin Mu didn't force Li Dian anymore, and just continued to chat with him, wanting to know more about him.
For Lin Mulai, getting to know Li Dian was the biggest gain during this expedition!
At this time, Li Dian should not have reached his peak yet, and he may still grow a lot in the future. If he can be recruited and trained to slowly advance to the top, he will definitely gain a lot.
At the same time, Lin Mu squinted his eyes, thinking about how to make friends with Li Qian, a famous sage from Juye County, Shanyang County, Yanzhou through Li Dian.
Li Dian has become a talented person, so if you want to recruit him, you have to start with his needs.
A military commander's needs are nothing more than magical weapons, precious armors and divine ornaments, BMWs and horses, magical skills, stunning beauties, fame and prestige, glory of Guangzong, position in the Dragon Palace, future direction...etc.
And Li Dian is not a person who covets beauty, and he will not dwell too much on beauty. As for magical weapons, he already has exclusive weapons, so he ignores them. As for martial arts, magical skills, precious armors and divine ornaments, these things are currently very special to him. How could scarcity seduce him? Fame, fame, glory of Guangzong, Longting position, future direction, etc. are all illusory, and it is difficult to achieve them with the current brand of Sima from other departments in the county.
BMW is a good horse. He can try this. I believe that the mutated dragon scale horse in the territory can initially satisfy him.
Yes, when it comes to Dragon Scale Horse, is it possible to seduce him by asking him to be responsible for forming a super cavalry? Lin Mu thought in his mind.
As a military general, if he could train a super cavalry that would be famous in China and powerful all over the world, this kind of feat that would be famous throughout history and attract worldwide attention would surely be a huge temptation for Li Dian. This is an opportunity.
Haste makes waste, and there is no direct recruitment. After Lin Mu had a heart-to-heart talk with Li Dian, Li Dian went to arrange the relocation of the military and civilians.
If you want to transport a population of 500,000 people, it is definitely not possible to return in one voyage. You have to make another trip.
A capital transport ship, already loaded with some grain and grass, can only transport about 200,000 people. Another capital battleship, because it is a combat ship, can only transport about 100,000 people. The Xuan-level Luban battleship can only transport about 100,000 people. There are only a few ships, and it would be difficult for each ship to transport a thousand people.
"He Yuan, you are responsible for transporting the wounded soldiers of the True Dragon Legion and some soldiers and civilians in Qinglong Village back to Yinglong Valley. I have asked Chang Yin and others to be ready to pick you up at the dock of Xufu Town. After transporting them back, I will make a trip. Thank you for your hard work. ." Lin Mu instructed He Yuandao.
"Yes! Lord. As for the hard work, I can't talk about it. I just escorted two ships." He Yuan responded modestly.
"After transporting the population back here, rest for two days. Then we will arrange ships to implement the previous relocation plan for military families and transport people from Luan County, Yuyao County and other counties back to the Yinglong Valley. Liu Feng, when the time comes, your family members will also I'll come over and make good arrangements. You've been away from home for so long, so it's time to make up for your family. When the time comes, I'll ask Chang Yin to prepare a welcome banquet for everyone and have a carnival!" Lin Mu instructed.
"Thank you for your concern, my lord!" Liu Feng said movedly. This lord treats them sincerely, treats them as brothers, and is very kind and tolerant to his subjects. In their eyes, the lord is the true son of the dragon!
Liu Feng is from Luan County, and his family lives in Nancheng of Luan County. The Night Shadow Department had already researched all the information and made detailed arrangements, asking the soldiers to write letters to their families one by one, telling them the reasons. Immediately, most of the family members were willing to come to Yinglong Valley.
Of course, not everyone is willing to move. Some family members are unwilling to leave their hometown. Lin Mu also expresses his understanding. These matters were carried out a long time ago without too many strict requirements.
However, after Xu Zhao became king, Lin Mu urged all these relatives to move here. After some war-disaster-type persuasion, the relatives all abandoned their so-called feelings of leaving home and were willing to move.
This episode made Lin Mu deeply realize that in the hearts of aborigines, a stable environment is more important than so-called nostalgia.
"Okay, these are the two plans for now. After they are completed, let the soldiers train for a period of time. Feng Zhong will arrange the subsequent training plans." Lin Mu instructed.
When the True Dragon Legion attacked Qinglong Village, 139 soldiers were killed, but the number of injured soldiers reached about 26,000. This result made Lin Mu very dissatisfied. I believe Feng Zhong in the territory would also be furious. The shortcomings of the True Dragon Legion highlighted. Their training program needs to be changed.
Let the sergeants carry the wounded soldiers, take 230,000 surrendered troops, a total of 250,000 people, and rush towards the east coast in a mighty manner.
Through the introduction of insiders like Li Dian and others, Lin Mu knew that all the forged weapons in Qinglong Village had been shipped away by Xu Zhao, leaving only some weapons for defending the city. As for the iron ore in the mountain, it has been basically mined out. It seems that Xu Zhao has occupied this place for a long time.
I originally thought that there would be weapons and equipment, casting blueprints, mining resources, high-level professionals, etc., but no one knew that it would be unsatisfactory.
Although everything was not going as planned, Lin Mu felt particularly happy to be able to gain such a large population, have an opportunity to recruit legendary historical generals, and have the experience of competing with Cao Cao.
After watching the mighty team disappear into the mountains, Lin Mu asked Liu Feng to take Zhang Hu and Shan Gong and his two battalions of 100,000 True Dragon sergeants to follow Li Dian and advance to the west, preparing to Bring the 270,000 military dependents to the coast and transport them back to Long Valley.
After Lin Mu arranged the affairs, he took Cui Wu and other personal guards into the military talisman, and rushed to Juzhang County alone along the general direction given by Li Dian.
While rushing on the road, finally, the third district appeared to reach the 100-leader achievement. It was Dongying District. Hearing the huge world announcement, Lin Mu was a little surprised. Dongying District, as a close neighbor of Huaxia District, actually has a stronger development momentum than other established super districts. For example, the American area is very fierce, so you need to be vigilant.
