Chapter 10 Money Turns Money, Money Turns People

In the end, Hua chose the "military policy". He spent 200 points to upgrade the palace to intermediate level, and then spent 180 points to upgrade the military camp to intermediate level in the Bronze Age.

Now, the floor of the palace has been covered with varnish, the beams and pillars are painted, and the exterior walls are smooth and pink, which seems to be repainted with paint mixed with cinnabar. Not only the palace itself, the furniture is also more refined, and even the palace people's clothes are more luxurious, and the number of people has increased. The sunlight spilled in from the open opening of the palace, showing a little bit of royal scene.

Hua recalls the panel to view the new types of troops in the military camp:

[Stage name: horned bow archer; army description: intermediate archer equipped with ox horned bow. Can be upgraded by bamboo archer; combat power assessment: Bronze Age intermediate; points required for generation: 2, points required for upgrade]

[Type of the Army: Long Salute Combat Soldier; Type of Army: Infantry equipped with bronze long Salute and leather armor, the group formation has high combat capability and can be upgraded by bronze spear soldiers.; Combat Power Evaluation: Intermediate Bronze Age; Points required for generation: 2, 1 points required for upgrade]

[Team name: Shieldge infantry; Type description: Infantry equipped with short-spear, large shield, intermediate armor, has high combat capability in individual soldiers; Combat power evaluation: Bronze Age intermediate; points required for generation: 2]

...

Spring came soon, and thousands of acres of fertile land had been cleared out in the plains in the northern part of the basin. A small village in the south had also been built. China left 20 armed farmers to take care of 50 prisoners of war to move here to cut bamboo, burn charcoal and harvest hemp. The other 20 farmers were transferred back to Beicun.

Hua Jiangbei Village’s village chief came to him and said, “Now half of the manpower should be divided into place to open up land. The remaining people will first cultivate the land that has been reclaimed. If there is not enough manpower, they can free up some of the land first. But each strong laborer must cultivate at least eight acres of land.”

Looking at the village chief's shocked look, Hua smiled and said, "There will be a steady stream of people coming in later. Thousand acres of land are far from enough." Then he added: "If you open up land, you still have to go through the order of logging, burning wasteland and reclamation. The resources on our land cannot be wasted."

...

When raw materials such as bamboo, palm hemp, charcoal and bronze are available, a hundred bronze hoes and a hundred bamboo bows are made in a moment.

Hua asked the businessman to set off with the last nine bronze spear soldiers and nine bamboo bow archers in a carriage and escort the goods.

Ten days later, the team brought back 300 kilograms of bronze ingots, ten oxen oxen and a ox cart. Hua designed a bronze plow that was not in the system, and let the workshop create ten for Beicun to use.

In this way, every few days, the businessmen would lead a team, driving horse-drawn carriages and ox carts to the south to send farm tools and hunting tools to the south, and exchange for more bronzes, and there were also people in cattle.

When the output of each batch reaches 800 kilograms, it no longer increases, and hunting tools such as bamboo bows can produce up to 300 at a time.

Because Hua knew that if it continued to grow at this rate, the entire bronze agricultural tools and hunting tools market would be wrapped up by itself, which would attract others to look at it and pay attention. A large amount of goods should be sold, but the surrounding area would not be able to digest it, which would inevitably lead to a price avalanche. In this way, the boss who received the goods would inevitably significantly lower the purchase price.

So it is best to stop when it is better, maintain this daily sales volume and act in a low-key manner. So the caravan has brought about 30,000 yuan in profits to Xia Guo every month. The money is exchanged for the population, and the daily items such as copper materials and salt are reserved by themselves.

The population of Xia Kingdom is growing more and more, all of which are slaves purchased from Qibashi City, including young and strong, young women, and many children.

They are all lucky people among slaves. After they arrive in Xia Kingdom, they can eat and wear well, be safe and secure, drink broth and eat corn rice. Single men and women have the opportunity to start a family.

Hua even promised that if they made contributions in the future, they would be allocated to their private land, and they had no reason not to follow Xia and the king Hua, who turned them from livestock into humans.

Children are placed in the city and are taken care of by palace servants. When Hua is free, they will teach them to learn literacy, of course, simplified Chinese characters. Simplified Chinese characters are undoubtedly a major leap in civilization compared to the cumbersome and sparse oracle bone characters.

In addition, boys over the age of twelve must regularly receive military training for bronze shield guards in the military camp.

...

As spring was about to pass, the climate began to gradually become hotter. Hua, who was practicing swordsmanship on the military camp, heard a beautiful voice.

[Ding… Main Mission 6                                                           

Hua was happy and immediately ordered someone to go to Beicun to inform the village chief that he would stop reclaiming new land and devote all his manpower to spring sowing, so that he could catch up with the remaining open space for a season of harvest.

Then he slowly opened the panel to see what changes were. At this time, there was an available option [rammed earth city wall] in the building facilities module, but the cost was 500 points. Hua believed that there was no major enemy at the moment, so there was no need to upgrade the city wall for the time being.

When the interface of the newly unlocked crop seedling module appeared on his retina, Hua Hsing jumped up happily. It turned out to be a module that could exchange points for crop seedlings. The most important thing is that there are a wide variety of species inside, and almost all crop seedlings from all over the world can be found. But there are unlocking constraints.

At present, one of the unlocked species that interests Hua the most is [Rice]. With just 100 points, you can exchange for 100 kilograms of seeds. Although Hua does not know how to farm, he knows the common sense that rice can be ripened twice or even three times a year in warm areas.

Just as I was about to win it with 100 points, I thought about it again that the farmland and ditches are now planted based on corn planting and are not suitable for growing rice. In addition, indigenous civilians definitely do not know whether the farmers in the system will do it. I had to let go first and wait for the next year to plant it.

...

When Hua Zuo Siyou thought about how to use these 660 points, a bamboo bow hunter stepped into the hall.

Now Beicun has started to breed livestock and poultry on a large scale, and there is no need to use hunting to obtain meat. Therefore, these hunters were used by Hua for another purpose - scouts. They traveled through the wilderness and forests, searched for sushi, and were hunters selling animal skins and meat, and talked to people in some city and found out about information. No one was more suitable for such things than them.

"Report to the Lord, the villain has heard some news from Wuyi, the capital of Yiguo."

"Oh, how is my family now?" Hua anxiously wanted to know how his family was in this life. Although Hua had never seen his relatives in this life after possession of the soul, the memories, consciousness and family affection buried in his blood did not dissipate with the soul-piercing incident.

...

Listening to the hunter's statement, Hua's brows became tighter and tighter. It seemed that Iber did not give up because of Hua's expulsion. Instead, he became more and more aggressive, pressing step by step, using various conspiracy and power to seize most of the land in Hua's family...

...
