A miracle at the beginning

There are so many resources at home, it is good to use them to build a city. The west of the colony does need a city to echo Yuling City.

But Luo Yu thought about it carefully and rejected the proposal.

A city cannot be built by just finding an empty space. It needs industrial support to have jobs, and only with jobs can there be economic benefits.

The reason why Yuling City can accommodate 600,000 people is that it covers 8 resource points.

After thinking about it, Luo Yu temporarily gave up the plan to build a new city and decided to expand the mechanized troops. In this war, robots and tanks showed great power, especially robots, which can cross mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. Their firepower is not as good as tanks, but their combat effectiveness is more than one level better.

A moment later, Luo Yu came to the robot production center.

[T18K robot consumes resources: 10,000 Tiandao coins, 200,000 basic materials, 5,000 basic leather]

The money in the small treasury must be used for future cultivation. The national treasury currently has 10 million assets. No one should have any objection to spending 2.5 million to build 250 robots?

Luo Yu directly clicked on the construction list. The total cost was: 2.5 million Tiandao coins, 50 million iron ore, and 1.25 million basic leather.

No problem, just build it!

"Ka Ka Ka Ka..."

All production lines in the machinery factory started to operate, and the full national treasury was reduced by 1/4 on the spot.

Money is meant to be spent. Only when there are more troops can you grab more money, and you don't feel sad at all.

After leaving the dreamy flower sea, Luo Yu walked into the portal and appeared above the Goling Plain a moment later.

At present, his territory reaches the air wall of the Miasma Mountains in the south and the third tributary of Goling in the north. The westernmost building is Xiaolin City, and the east is directly to the mountains. Over the mountains in the east is the easternmost area of ​​Goling Plain, which is almost close to the Great Fairy Forest.

From the overview of the territory, the current colony covers an area of ​​55,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the total area of ​​several prefecture-level cities in China. There are only 600,000 people in this vast land, and four cities are obviously not enough.

At present, there are no new resource points to support the construction of the city. If Luo Yu wants to fully control this land, it is not realistic to rely on the reconnaissance battalion of hundreds of people and tanks patrolling there.

After considering, I came to two conclusions in order to fully control this land.

First: Build villages and farmland, so that the land is dotted with villages.

Second: Build militarized bunkers, place bunkers and watchtowers every section of the road, and let a squad of soldiers garrison. If enough bunkers are built, it can also be effectively controlled.

Luo Yu thought about it and decided that the second method was better.

The village lacks combat power, and the wilderness is too dangerous. Moreover, the danger comes from the miasma mountain range behind. Before the demon king in the miasma mountain range is completely defeated, Luo Yu thinks it is better to concentrate the population in the city.

Clicking on the building page, Luo Yu looked at the options of the bunker and finally chose [Solid and thick bunker].

This kind of bunker is basically made of stone and does not cost a lot of iron ore. It is thick as its name and cannot be easily broken. With the building shield of the goddess of starlight, it can support it for a while even if it suddenly faces a beast tide or a group of enemies.

[Solid and thick castle: 200,000 stone bricks, 2,000 iron ore, 300 copper ore]

Click OK, and a black circular building appears with a flash of light below. It looks a bit like an inverted stone bowl, covering a small area of ​​about three or four hundred square meters.

Soldiers usually live inside this "stone bowl" and can climb onto the platform to shoot arrows when defending against enemies.

Luo Yu also built a wooden watchtower on the platform of the "stone bowl", and thus a small bunker capable of housing troops was completed.

Usually standing guard, the soldiers could plant crops and make military supplies when they were free, which was very satisfying to Luo Yu.

In the following time, he began to build this type of bunkers non-stop, since there were plenty of stone bricks, so he could just use them!

He worked until late at night, and a total of 100 such bunkers were built in the entire colony. As long as the soldiers moved in, they could completely control every inch of land in the colony. It only cost 20 million stone bricks, which was just a drop in the bucket.

The next morning, Wei Yan and other generals were overjoyed to learn that so many new bunkers had been added to the plains, and they began to move in soldiers in batches under Luo Yu's orders.

At noon, after lunch, Luo Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xiao Ling, and Shuang'er walked on the streets of the capital. The outer city area is now quite prosperous. During the lunch break, women chatted in groups of three or five, children played happily, and men gathered together to play chess or go to the gym to exercise. They did everything.

When everyone saw Luo Yu and his friends coming, they all greeted them and Luo Yu naturally nodded with a smile on his face.

Along the way, Luo Yu found that many people were exchanging food, cloth and other daily necessities privately, and he couldn't help but think: "Kong Ming, now we have a population of one million and two big cities, we should consider currency."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said: "Chairman, I have some ideas about currency. Now the people are exchanging privately in the form of barter, and the items exchanged are also the food, clothes or household items we distribute, which is really inconvenient."

"I think we can set up a special gold, silver and copper coin casting bureau to gradually issue these three currencies."

Luo Yu nodded in approval: "Then how will we deliver the coins into the hands of the people?"

"Military pay, monthly payment."

Zhuge Liang said: "The territory can appropriately distribute military pay to the soldiers, provide some monthly supplies to the people, and at the same time reduce the monthly distribution of materials, so that the people can take the initiative to use money to purchase these materials. Once they come and go, the subordinates believe that the money will naturally circulate."

"Salary?"

The corner of Luo Yu's mouth twitched. He had discussed this matter with Yu Meng. Neither of them was willing to pay wages to the people. But now with the expansion of the population, the demand for commodity consumption and other things, this has become a problem. It’s urgent.

Luo Yu also knows very well that only issuing currency can make the market more prosperous, and everyone will work harder in order to make money. This is an important link in the transition to a market economy.

After a moment of silence, Luo Yu nodded and said: "What Kong Ming said is absolutely true. Starting today, we will start preparing to establish Yucheng Bank to issue currency specifically, and issued a notice that all currencies will be linked to grain, so that they can use it with confidence."
