When they were far away from Lion King City, a sentry had already seen Xiao Yu's return and immediately reported it to Xiao Hong and Long Hui. Now, the sentinels of the Lion King's Land are all scouting twenty miles away.
So, Xiao Hong and Long Hui came out together with the four sister-in-laws.
The first thing they looked at was naturally not Xiao Yu, but directly looking for Xiwen. Because Xi Wen is the key this time, Xiao Yu's purpose of going this time is to bring Xi Wen back.
When they saw Xiwen getting off the car, several sisters-in-law rushed up to hug and cry, and Xiao Hong and Long Hui also had extremely joyful eyes, Xiao Yu really did it, not only Bringing back a person's problem, but a symbol of the rise of the Lion King, no one dares to underestimate the Lion King.
Poor Xiao Yu opened her arms and waited for some sister-in-laws to hug her, only to find that she ran past her to hug Xiwen. So he maintained such a gesture of opening his arms, with a stiff smile, looking so silly.
"That's right, you've made a contribution this time." The third sister-in-law Kamina gently picked Xiao Yu's chin with her slender fingers, which was regarded as a reward.
"It's a man." The second sister-in-law Xuehan said in Xiao Yu's ear calmly, and then walked away.
"For the sake of you bringing Xiwen back, the previous grievances will be wiped out." Fourth sister-in-law Xuesha said. The grievances she mentioned were naturally the grievances and grievances that Xiao Yu peeked at her taking a bath. Anyway, I have already peeked at it, so what else? And Xiao Yu snatched back so many good things for her.
"Xiao Yu, you really brought Xi Wen back. You are truly a descendant of the Xiao family." Sister-in-law Qi Yin came over and hugged Xiao Yu, finally making up for Xiao Yu's injured self-esteem.
Xiao Yu hugged her sister-in-law and burst into tears, finally she had someone who loved her.
A group of people walked into the city amidst the warm welcome of the people of Lion King City. Although Xiao Yu looked casual and waved to the surrounding people with a smile, he was actually observing the changes in the Lion King City.
When he first left, Lion King City didn't have so many people, nor so many soldiers, and even formed a guard of honor of 1,000 people to welcome him. It can be seen that during the time Xiao Yu left, a lot happened in Lion King City. change.
Back in the lord's hall, Xi Wen was taken away by several sister-in-laws to ask for their health, while Xiao Yu listened to Xiao Hong and Long Hui's report on the development of the Lion King Territory during this period.
Whether it is Xiao Hong or Long Hui, all of them are radiant now. The huge changes in the Lion King's collar during this period made them feel like they were drinking stimulants every day.
Now, the population of the Lion King Territory has tripled to more than 150,000 when Xiao Yu left, and the number of soldiers has reached 10,000. This is because Long Hui can't manage it and lacks generals. So I didn't dare to recruit so many, otherwise, the Lion King Territory can recruit at least 30,000 soldiers now. Because of Xiao Yu's policy of rewarding military merits, those grown men saw the way to gain glory and the way to fight for land for their families. Even if you die, don't be afraid, the Lion King will give your family tax exemption, and you will live well in the future.
The current policies of the Lion King Territory are much better than those of any other territory. All the people who came here for a while immediately felt the difference.
There are no tax officials knocking on the door to collect taxes every day, and there is no need to worry about not having land. Here, they only need to pay for their labor, and they can get all the food, clothing, housing and transportation they want. As long as the land they reclaimed by themselves can be used for free for several years without paying taxes, this is something they never dared to imagine.
Moreover, for the new immigrants, Xiao Yu also asked to send people to help them settle down, making them feel that this place is simply paradise.
At the beginning, the old butler Xiao Hong had fiercely resisted Xiao Yu's many policies, but he was relieved when he saw that the Lion King collar had prospered so quickly.
Anyway, those lands will be taken back in a few years, but now they are allowed to plant them for free, without tax or rent, and when they are stable here, they will definitely not leave. When the time comes to collect taxes, the territory will naturally become stronger immediately. Now it is just in the stage of paying, just like doing business is investing.
Of course, this is just what Xiao Yu promised to plant for these farmers for a few years. If it is directly distributed, the old housekeeper probably will not agree. Xiao Yu won't do this now either. When he has a larger territory and truly becomes the overlord of one party, he will be able to do so, and it will be necessary to do so at that time.
Xiao Yu has already prepared the next policy, which is to use the land to continue to reward military meritorious service. Whoever makes meritorious service can have the right to use a piece of land for five or even ten years without paying rent or tax. Rent it out, in this case, the lion king's army will soon become the army of tigers and wolves, just like the Qin State in the Warring States Period.
After Shang Yang promulgated the policy of rewarding military merits, all the soldiers of Qin State were red-eyed in the war. Killing a person can get as much land and earn as much money. Naturally, they are desperate to become nobles.
Sometimes, when two soldiers chased an enemy soldier, but failed to catch up, the other soldier would cut off his companion's head to receive credit, which shows the degree of madness.
This is what Xiao Yu wants. In this day and age, if you recruit more people and reward farming and military achievements, you can be invincible. In order to keep their land and their families, these farmers and soldiers will naturally work hard for you.
These policies, which seem to be just a few sentences, are actually equivalent to the power of a million teachers.
This is the impact brought by advanced thinking.
In addition to these changes in the territory, Xiao Yu also deliberately asked about Kalu's situation. After all, Kalu's territory is still eyeing the Lion King's territory.
However, Kalu's territory is no longer in Xiao Yu's eyes. If possible, Xiao Yu can definitely eat into Kalu's territory slowly. It just depends on when the time is right.
In the last battle, Kalu's territory lost 20,000 troops, and its vitality was severely damaged. It is difficult to organize such a large-scale battle. After all, Karu's territory is not as big as the Principality of Kahn, but just a territory.
Now, the combat power of the Karu Territory is estimated to be 20,000 to 30,000 people, and even if it is more, it will be temporary recruits. Therefore, when Xiao Yu left, she was not very worried that Kalu would come to attack.
Moreover, there is Alsace who has nothing to harass, and it is enough for them to keep busy.
Long Hui reported that Karu's territory has been plagued by undead incidents recently, and many people have fled, and it is already in chaos.
After hearing this, Xiao Yu was secretly pleased with herself, Xiao Aqian really did a good job.
However, Long Hui also said with a worried face: "There is no big threat from Kalu's side now, but now the bandits have grown stronger, and will soon pose a huge threat to the Lion King Territory .”
Xiao Yu was startled, and immediately asked what was going on.
It turned out that since Xiao Yu left, Sal also led people to sweep up the robbers everywhere, destroying many small cottages, and because the orcs continued to attack, the robbers were all in danger, and they even took the initiative to unite to fight against it. Lion collar.
Among them, there was a guy named Xie Sanlang among the robbers, who was quite capable, took advantage of this opportunity to integrate many cottages, and unexpectedly gathered 70,000 to 80,000 people, forming an extremely powerful military force.
Although the Lion King now has troops summoned from the base, there are only 2,000 people. The 10,000 guards of the Lion King are all recruits, and their combat effectiveness is not strong at all. is a very big threat.
Moreover, it is said that Karu also sent people to contact these bandits, preparing to deal with the Lion King together.
Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news, he didn't expect that he would unintentionally contribute to such a situation. But that's good too, since they're all gathered together, it's easy for Xiao Yu to kill them, saving him from searching everywhere one by one.
However, it is not so easy to deal with 70,000 to 80,000 robbers. They can only be outsmarted and cannot be attacked by force.
"Within one year, the Lion King of the Plains will lead all the bandits, and within two years, unify the Northwest." Xiao Yu secretly set this goal.
He knew that in this era, troubled times were about to rise. If he wanted to gain a foothold in this world, he had to unify the northwest region first. Only then would he be able to compete with other powerful forces.
For example, the existence of the Principality of Kahn, now he is no match for a small lion king. Even if the summoned monster army is NB, hundreds of thousands of troops go together, you will still be finished.
Moreover, such a large principality has real things under its hands, such as magicians, magic items, and advanced weapons, which are not comparable to a Karui territory.
