I Became a Progenitor Vampire

Time flies, and the light that shines on your body in the blink of an eye is the sunshine of another day.

When the ice and snow on the streets of Daybreak City melt, when the howling cold wind turns into a gentle warm wind, when the cuckoo bird begins to sing on the tops of the broad-leaved sycamore trees with new buds.

The cold and lonely winter months have passed.

The warm and moist planting season has arrived.

In early March, people who were originally wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes had already taken off most of their clothes and traveled lightly.

The City of Dawn, which had been stagnant due to the cold in winter, has regained its vitality.

The suspended mage tower began to recruit workers,

The blacksmith shop brought out farm tools in piles and distributed them to the common people.

The new clothes in the tailor shop have also been changed from thick cotton coats to thin coats.

The whole city was breathed back into life.

A new year begins.

Li De stood by the window of his office on the third floor of the city hall, looking through the open window at the people coming and going on the street, with a deep smile in his eyes.

The winter moon passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot of changes have taken place this winter, and Dawn City has completely changed its appearance compared to last year.

The land under his feet is now a city with a population of nearly ten thousand, and the number of vampires in it has exceeded 400.

The majestic Dawn Master Tower is under construction. The busy figures in the farmland outside the city are farmers cultivating. Energetic security team members wearing new uniforms are shuttled on the streets.

Everyone's face was filled with hope and reverence.

The energy this city exudes is astonishing.

"Harrison, report on the current situation in Daybreak City"

After a long time, Li De, who was wearing a blue mage robe and had an elegant and perfect temperament, withdrew his gaze towards the street.

He turned around and faced Harrison, who was wearing a dark gray robe and looked feminine.

Harrison was well prepared. After a slight salute, he began to report on the progress of the work throughout the winter.

He has developed a work habit and will summarize his work at the beginning of each month.

Today happens to be March 3rd.

"Clan leader, the winter moon has not stopped us from developing.

The first is urban construction.

We have repaired many dilapidated houses, and the population that the South District can accommodate has increased by about 3,000 people.

The total number of houses can now accommodate approximately 25,000 people, and the population of Dawn City has been further increased.

However, in order to prepare for the plundering of the population during this year's winter month, it is expected that houses will be built to accommodate a population of 3,000 to 5,000 people.

The Mage Tower in the City of Dawn also restarted yesterday. With the assistance of 100 vampires, it is expected that the entire construction of the Mage Tower will be completed before May. "

Li De nodded and did not interrupt Harrison's speech.

After the beginning of spring, all the focus will shift to the construction of Dawn City, and the activities of plundering the population will be suspended.

According to the practice of previous years, after the Winter Moon, the orcs will withdraw from the territory of the Norland Empire and return to the barren wasteland, and humans will take over the land again.

Now, to plunder the population, we will undoubtedly have to go head-to-head with the human army. The orcs will not fight to the death with the Vampires, but humans will not mind hunting down the Vampires who are full of alchemical materials.

Since the focus has to shift to urban construction, there is no doubt that the mage tower in the City of Dawn will be a key construction project in the next two months. For this purpose, he dispatched hundreds of vampires to participate in the construction.

“Second point, the development of market economy

Because of the increase in population, many people had the idea of ​​opening shops and chambers of commerce. The city hall specially set aside an entire street near the square for human trade.

In the future, this will be the commercial center of Dawn City. Currently, this area has 6 tailor shops, 5 bakeries, 1 flower shop, 1 grain store under the jurisdiction of the city hall, and 1 store selling groceries.

Due to the lack of supplies, many residents who are interested in doing business cannot find a suitable intervention point, so this newly built market is not prosperous, but I believe that after the land can be cultivated, there will be a wave of explosion. "

Li De did not deliberately control the development of business. The shortage of supplies is now a big problem. If you want to develop business, you must solve this problem before talking about the next step.

Li De nodded and signaled Harrison to continue.

“Third, the vampires themselves.

After the hero selection competition, the number of vampires has reached 400, but the new 200 vampires are still relatively weak, and their levels are all between level 1 and 3.

It is expected that there will be a wave of improvement in strength after the completion of the Mage Tower, but in a short period of time he can only do simple work in the City of Dawn and cannot be put to great use. "

After the expansion of the vampire clan, the new vampires will undoubtedly have very low strength and need time to grow. Li De is so anxious to build the mage tower in order to increase the strength of the new vampires faster.

“Fourth, the iron ore in the Valley of the Giants.

The Cyclops are now the most powerful miners, and they can mine forty tons of ore every day.

Although this iron mine is a rich ore, the quality of the ore is average. After the ore is refined in the blast furnace newly built by the blacksmith of Dawn City, it can produce four tons of pig iron. "

Li De nodded slightly. The quality of the ore could not be solved, but the production efficiency made him very satisfied.

Mining ore by pure manpower is undoubtedly a very inefficient thing. If humans were used to mine, perhaps hundreds of people would not be able to dig out forty tons of ore in a day.

The Cyclops undoubtedly helped him solve this big problem.

This group of beings with the blood of ancient giants possess extremely terrifying power. In addition to fighting, they seem to be born for mining.

The Cyclops people only need to work hard to mine every day to have enough to eat, and they can even save surplus food. They also feel very happy.

“Fifth, the running of city hall.

The Ministry of Agriculture has been established and has begun to guide residents in seed selection and breeding in the past half month...

The number of members of the security team has reached 200. They train according to the required military training tasks every day. Currently, normal security issues are handled by the members of the security team...

Logistics team...

Propaganda Department..."

In Harrison's Sunday-long report, a series of issues such as people's livelihood, agriculture, economy, politics, military and so on in Dawn City were summarized in detail.

The development of Dawn City in the past six months was presented to him in an intuitive way.

Thriving.

But the last question made Li De frown.

He is actually going bankrupt...

"Patriarch, we have been carrying out intensive urban construction and various welfare expenditures, and now there are less than 2,000 gold pukes left in the city hall's books."

“Each department in the city hall needs a fixed expenditure of 1,000 gold pukes every month, and the money on the books is only enough for us to operate for two months.

In other words, we have no money.”

This data made Li De's mouth twitch slightly. The development of Dawn City was entirely supported by the blood clan's treasury, and his secret room full of golden pukes had long been emptied.

2,000 gold coins is not a small amount for an individual, but for a rapidly developing city, it is simply too little to look at.

A company with over 10,000 employees and carrying out large-scale construction every month only has 20 million working capital on its books.

This development is undoubtedly a tightrope to walk.

It can be said that the rapid development of Dawn City in the early stage was all based on the accumulation of wealth of the vampire clan.

Buy food, buy magic materials, buy various farm tools, cotton, cloth, and even pay the salaries of the security team, post-production team, and other temporary workers.

The wealth of the blood clan was transferred to the residents through the purchase of labor force.

But now there is no other way to obtain the wealth from the residents in Dawn City.

So the current situation is that in addition to daily expenses, residents will gradually accumulate more wealth, but in the end very little wealth will flow back to the city hall.

If the city hall wants to generate revenue, it can only collect taxes. Food is sold at a discount, and the harvesting cost is negligible.

But now the market is sluggish, supplies are scarce, and there is no commercial activity at all. Moreover, newly established chambers of commerce and shops can also enjoy a one-year tax exemption policy. This has resulted in the city hall now having only expenditures and no income.

Using the blood clan's heritage for development will undoubtedly make the city prosperous as quickly as possible, but this prosperity will also stagnate after the wealth is exhausted.

If there is no more financial support to obtain tax revenue from Daybreak City, I am afraid that we will really face the dilemma of not being able to pay wages internally and having no money to purchase supplies externally.

After Li De thought for a moment, he smiled meaningfully.

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of Kim Puke. You just need to continue to maintain the development of Dawn City. Soon there will be a large number of Kim Puke in your account."

The winter months have passed and spring has arrived.

The adventurers of Green City should be venturing out of the city, right? Those mercenaries who lick blood from their swords should also accept employment, right?

After a winter of stocking up at his magic scroll factory... it's time to ship out.
