Now that we have the generals, the next step is resources.
Lu Ping currently has nearly 200 million resources, and these resources will naturally be left to Lu Yi.
Soon, Lu Ping traded all the generals and resources to Xia Mo.
As the system prompted that the transaction was completed, Lu Ping felt his whole body relax, and a huge stone in his heart finally fell.
After Lu Yi's problem was solved, it was his own business next.
Afterwards, Lu Ping checked the resource pack and soldier recruitment card.
Lu Ping currently has 41 soldier recruitment cards and 3300 resource packs.
A recruitment card at level three can recruit one hundred soldiers, and a resource pack can produce one thousand kilograms of food.
Forty-one soldier recruitment cards and 3,300 resource packs are equivalent to 4,100 soldiers and 3.3 million kilograms of food.
Lu Ping was obviously not satisfied with this number.
But Lu Ping had no choice. The recruitment cards and resource packs were all mission rewards, and Lu Ping couldn't ask for more even if he wanted.
Not to mention, there are not as many others as Lu Ping.
But it doesn't matter. Lu Ping has a city division order, which allows him to get an additional county town and 30,000 people.
An additional 30,000 people means Lu Ping can recruit 3,000 more soldiers.
The previous shortage of civil officials has now been solved. Lu Ping now has seven famous officials: Li Si, Wang Anshi, Shang Yang, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Wu Zixu, and Liu Bowen.
There is no doubt that they are all talented people who can govern the country. With their help, there will be no problem in governing the territory.
If the territory is well governed, the population will grow rapidly and Lu Ping can recruit more soldiers.
After checking, Lu Ping sent an email to Gao Tianyi, informing him that he would be able to enter the third floor in two days.
Gao Tianyi, who received Lu Ping's email, immediately reported the news to the military.
Upon receiving the news, General Chen Ping was overjoyed.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Great, Lu Ping has decided to go to the third floor."
"Next, it depends on whether this kid can bring us surprises."
The chief said excitedly.
"Yeah, I hope so."
“I hope he won’t let everyone down.”
Everyone echoed.
......
......
Lu Ping was unaware of the above discussions.
Even if he knew, Lu Ping wouldn't care.
For the remaining two days, Lu Ping did nothing but stayed with Xia Mo every day, enjoying their time together.
Time comes in the blink of an eye.
"System, enter the third floor."
Lu Ping ordered the system.
"Ding! The third floor is opening, please wait."
"Ding! The third floor is open, host, please prepare."
As the system prompt sounded, the next second, Lu Ping felt his whole body lighten.
“Boom~!”
Accompanied by a loud bang, the ground beneath Lu Ping's feet shook and the whole world changed unpredictably.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Ping appeared in a county town.
The specific location is at the gate of the county government office.
"Is this the third floor?"
Lu Ping frowned and looked at the small county town in front of him.
Looking around, the entire county town is no more than five miles long, three miles wide, and only four meters high. It looks like a mound of earth overall.
The city is full of dilapidated houses and the streets are bumpy.
There were only a few shops and a few pedestrians on the street.
Everyone was dressed in dirty clothes and had pale faces. They looked at Lu Ping with flickering eyes and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Is this a real world?
Lu Ping looked at the scene in front of him with suspicion.
No wonder people say that the third floor is closer to reality. Now it seems to be true.
It's not even as good as a village in the city.
The same is true of the county government office behind him. Although it is not small in size, it is very dilapidated.
The county government hall was empty, with only a few chairs and a table.
"Ding, welcome to the third floor. You will receive a Civilian Gift Pack, 1 million jin of grain, and 5,000 soldiers."
"Please note that all matters on the third floor require the host to handle them personally."
"Please use the system panel to operate for specific matters."
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping immediately opened the system panel.
Sure enough, many options appeared on the system interface.
For example, government affairs, taxation, agriculture, case-solving, public security, prisons, granaries, barracks, etc.
Below these options, there are many more detailed options.
For example, under public security, there are options such as catching theft, patrolling, arresting, and night watchman.
Under agriculture there are options such as water conservancy, tools, smelting, and manufacturing.
Under the grain section there are all kinds of groceries, including grains, wheat, corn, sorghum, cereals, millet, etc.
There are options such as weapons and armor under the barracks.
There are various punishments under the prison.
Click on the tax option, the food tax is currently 35%. The commercial tax is 30%.
Looking at the grain reserves, there are a total of 1.3 million kilograms of grain in the granary.
Seeing this number, Lu Ping frowned slightly.
As expected, food is a major issue that cannot be avoided.
A normal person needs about 600 kilograms of food a year.
1.3 million kilograms of food may seem like a lot, but it is actually not enough to feed 5,000 soldiers for half a year.
It seems that I need to find a way to get more food, otherwise I won’t be able to even feed the soldiers.
Although Lu Ping still has resource packages in his hands, he needs more than 5,000 soldiers.
How can five thousand soldiers be used?
Lu Ping had to divide his troops to guard fifteen villages, and even more troops to guard another county town.
Because Lu Ping still has a city division order, he can build another county town.
All in all, Lu Ping would need at least 20,000 or even 30,000 soldiers.
But now it is difficult to feed 5,000 soldiers, let alone 20,000 soldiers.
It seems that the days ahead will be difficult, Lu Ping sighed.
But these are secondary. The first thing Lu Ping needs to solve now is the safety issue.
Secure fifteen villages from being attacked by bandits.
Without hesitation, Lu Ping immediately began to assign military generals.
Five generals formed a group, each leading 200 soldiers to garrison in each village.
Each group of generals includes a historical general and a second- or third-rate general. Such a configuration can be considered an ultra-luxury lineup.
As the order was given, fifteen teams immediately set out for various villages.
After doing this, Lu Ping began to arrange official positions.
At this time, the importance of civil officials is reflected.
After careful consideration, Lu Ping decided to appoint Li Si as the county magistrate and take charge of government affairs.
Liu Bowen served as the chief clerk, in charge of finances and grain, while Hai Rui was in charge of adjudicating cases and prisons.
Wu Zixu was in charge of water conservancy, Shang Yang was in charge of laws and public security, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of agriculture, and Wang Anshi was in charge of commerce.
After completing these tasks, there was still no one to take responsibility for taxation and corvee labor.
But it doesn’t matter, Lu Ping still has a gift package for civil officials that he hasn’t opened.
"System, open the Civilian Gift Pack."
"Ding, host, do you want to use the civil servant gift package?"
"use!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring the civil officials Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji."
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping immediately smiled.
Sure enough, the weapon spirit is still as powerful as ever.
