Mage with knife

Meng Liang is the mayor, Jiao Zan is the executive deputy mayor, and two capable wizards are the deputy mayors.

In the future, Manaohe Special Economic Zone Town will accommodate more people, and it is appropriate to upgrade the administrative establishment to a town.

The administrative machinery of the county government is operating vigorously, and the development of new agricultural reclamation areas has begun.

A large number of refugees have begun to enter Dick's territory. Under the supervision of the county committee's inspection team, various town governments are guiding and relieving the large numbers of refugees who have come in. The flow of people is in batches to various newly opened agricultural reclamation areas according to the plan.

There is a price to pay for opening a special zone, and there is a price to pay for resettling refugees. The Páramo tribe is rich and has accumulated a lot of wealth. The huge wealth is being consumed rapidly. Whether it is to open up the northern territory or resettle a large number of refugees, it needs clothing.

Tents and food.

The Blacksmith Castle and the Woolen Textile Factory continue to expand their production scale, and the various merchants in Páramo City are showing off their own talents. Páramo City needs food, cattle and sheep, and their merchants need magic gold tools and weapons, and woolen products.

Dick knows that the one who is in urgent need is himself. In terms of profits, you have to make further concessions to the merchants. With enough profits, will the merchants be motivated to help you resell grain, cattle, sheep and other living supplies?

Even so, it was still not enough, and the gap was huge. Dick had to order that the tax on herdsmen be increased to 40%. This was the first tax increase since Dick managed the tribe. It would not work without increasing taxes. There are 200,000 refugees.

Everyone has to eat.

The announcements from the county and town governments made it very clear that taxes will be increased for one year this year and will return to normal tax rates next year.

Even if the herdsmen at the bottom complain or don't complain, Dick can't do anything about it. Everyone suffers, and we don't share the joys and sorrows. It's impossible to rely only on government relief.

The herdsmen of the Paramo tribe have been restructured for many years and are relatively wealthy. The tax has been increased to 60%. This has somewhat balanced the mentality of the herdsmen of the other three tribes who have recently joined the tribe.

Dick also needs this kind of tax increase gap to appease the herders of the three newly affiliated tribes.

Dick kept inspecting various places. The order of the newly reclaimed agricultural areas was not bad. Most of the herdsmen were still hardworking and simple. They just farmed. The government provided rations, so why don't you stop working?

It will be fine next year. These agricultural areas will harvest food and they will not be so nervous.

If we don’t say that planting is the most suitable for resettling a large number of people, what about grazing? How many cattle and sheep do we need to rescue 200,000 refugees? The pastoral area is not that big at all. We can’t afford relief at all. Let’s concentrate on farming.

Is the land easy to manage?

This is also because the commerce in Páramo City is developed. Otherwise, how could Páramo City have so many living and production materials needed for so many new agricultural reclamation areas?

Fortunately, the prairie people are old, weak, women and children, and they are not ambivalent about their work. In order to survive, what should you not do? The desert hunters who were captured and stayed in the Paramo tribe were also old, weak and children, and they have also developed into wealth.

Is it from the agricultural reclamation area?

The poor working people at the bottom are simple, and they can do anything as long as they are given something to eat.

After several months of continuous work, the two hundred thousand grassland refugees were finally almost all resettled. Changsheng Mountain was quite particular and did not send more refugees to Dick.

The news from Zhang Huan was good. The army marched six hundred miles north, continued to expand east and west, and annihilated some small Eski tribes. It did not encounter the large Eski army for the time being.

Six hundred miles is not bad, it is as big as two Manaohe Special Economic Zone towns.

The accommodation of more than 10,000 cavalrymen and their families was finally much more comfortable.

Grain cultivation in Manaohe Special Zone Town has finally been successful. Crops such as potatoes and eastern wheat have yielded good harvests. Is it a newly developed planting area? The land is fertile and fertile. It is normal to produce more grain.

Although crops similar to potatoes do not have the terrifying income of several thousand kilograms per mu in the previous life, the yield per mu is seven to eight hundred kilograms, which is already terrifying. The maximum wheat output in mature agricultural areas is only four to five hundred kilograms. There is no modernization here.

, and no chemical fertilizers.

This is good. Next year, the new 600-mile administrative area expanded by Manaohe Special Economic Zone Town will further expand the area of ​​the agricultural reclamation area and produce more food.

Zhang Huan's army has temporarily stopped expanding northward. At least, there is no need for it now. It has jurisdiction over nine hundred miles from north to south. It should expand to the east and west as much as possible, and try not to come into contact with the Eski army as much as possible.

The latest information is that the Eskies are fighting a war with the Goreites to the west, and Dick doesn't want to get involved.

The chaotic government affairs were generally sorted out, and it was rare for Dick to quietly practice in seclusion.

For about a year, Dick has been busy with the Northern Expedition and the resettlement of 200,000 refugees, and has almost no systematic practice. Entering the rhythm of quiet retreat practice again, Dick's mentality is very peaceful. He has even been stuck.

The power of the water wave in the 19th wave broke through to the 20th wave.

Breaking through the bottleneck of artistic conception on such a large level is a huge improvement to Dick's combat effectiveness. In theory, Dick has entered the third level of artistic conception. At least, this is how Dick's understanding of artistic conception is divided into levels.

When Dick broke through to the tenth wave, his aura and artistic conception had about doubled. This time, it was almost to the same extent. I really can't explain how the artistic conception can lead to such an increase in combat effectiveness.

After a month of seclusion, Dick came out and had a battle with Li Lang...

In the past, Dick's strength was that about three Dicks could fight against a seventh-level warrior. Now, Dick's strength is that roughly two Dicks could fight against a seventh-level warrior. It is conceivable how terrifying Dick's strength has improved. Of course, such a confrontation

The seventh-level warrior is the kind who has not understood the artistic conception.

A master like Li Lang, whose understanding of artistic conception is roughly at the second level, cannot be done by four or five dicks.

In this case, Dick would have a greater chance of surviving and escaping in front of ordinary seventh-level warriors.

As his strength continues to improve, Dick is no longer as afraid of senior warriors as before.

The so-called large qualitative gap in rank is not so evil.

"Is it just a sparring match? It hurts so badly."

"It's okay. Li Lang is a seventh-level artistic conception master. He is much stronger than me. He has a sense of control in his hands. It's just a few superficial injuries." Since it's a competition, of course Dick has to go all out. Isn't it a small matter to get injured in a battle?

"Don't make trouble, you're not being honest even if you're injured." Betty was applying medicine to Dick when she felt that Dick's hands were getting oily again.

"Betty, you are a lot thicker here."

"Don't mess around, Beth will be back soon." Although Betty was often annoyed by Dick, this time she was already... a forty-year-old woman, a sensitive age. Betty felt like she couldn't hold on any longer and had given birth.

The child Betty knew what this meant. She wanted to refuse, but she also had the slightest desire.

No matter how you say it, Dick is the man he likes, he is strong and handsome.

The emotions that had been brewing for several years broke out at this moment. Dick hugged the charming Betty and rushed into the bedroom...
