County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

The reason why Lanyin County is so militaristic is that

the reason is simple,

Tangyue aims to surpass Zhatian County.

Lanyin County as it is today,

Influence value exceeds 10,000.

In the chat channel, he was considered a big shot that everyone envied, but Tang Yue always had a thorn in his side.

He wouldn't allow it.

There are others ahead of you.

"So what if it's just increasing by 1500 every day? If you bet five, I'll bet six, seven, eight. Just wait... I'll surpass you soon."

"As for the Pingtian Army's outpost, the garrison is only five hundred men. If I develop my strength for a few more days, I might have a chance to take it down."

In mind,

Tang Yue set goals for himself.

at this time,

Outside the city,

A burst of noise came from behind.

Tang Yue looked in the direction of the sound and found that the soldiers who had been sent to conquer resource-rich areas were returning to Lanyin County one after another.

just,

These soldiers,

Compared to when they set off,

Many people were covered in blood, some were seriously injured, and everyone's face was filled with exhaustion.

Looking at the wounded soldiers,

In Tang Yue's eyes,

There was a brief fluctuation.

however,

This fluctuation was extremely brief, almost instantaneous.

quickly,

He looked at the panel again.

He thought to himself, "As long as I can surpass Han Yilin and Zha Tian County, all these sacrifices will be worthwhile."

Then,

A thought crossed his mind.

Switch the light screen to the expedition interface.

His eyes swept over quickly.

Tang Yue was searching for his next target when the chat channel suddenly flashed and a private message popped up.

He frowned slightly.

In the eyes,

A hint of displeasure flashed across his face.

However, Tang Yue still opened the chat box and saw that it was a message from his younger sister, Tang Rou, which made his expression improve slightly.

"Brother, what's the casualty situation on your end?"

"My situation is not good. In this battle against level 5 land, more than a quarter of the soldiers were wounded, and more than 30 people were killed. The medical center is overwhelmed."

"Dai Mingchen's side has suffered even greater casualties, I heard they've lost more than half their men. Should we slow down? If we keep fighting like this, the soldiers won't be able to hold on."

Seeing this content,

Tang Yue's face darkened.

Should we slow down?

How can we slow it down now?

The influence of Zhatian County is increasing every day. If they stop to rest, the gap will only widen.

right now,

Finally,

This narrowed the gap somewhat.

If we stop now, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been wasted?!

Thinking of this,

Tang Yue immediately replied, "We can't stop. Now is the crucial time to catch up with Zhatian County. Han Yilin is growing every day. If we slow down even for a day, we will be left behind again."

On Tang Rou's side,

A reply came quickly.

"But there are too many injuries, and morale is low. There are even deserters on Dai Mingchen's side."

Seeing this, Tang Yue's tone became more serious: "How can we surpass Zhatian County without paying a price? Tell Dai Mingchen to severely punish any disobedient soldiers. Continue the expedition now; I've already selected the resource locations."

"Don't worry, I will compensate you after we surpass Zhatian County."

opposite,

Seeing that his brother's attitude was firm,

Knowing his personality, Tang Rou sighed helplessly, "Fine, I understand."

The conversation ended.

Tang Yue did not waste a moment.

Without giving the wounded soldiers even a moment's rest, they directly selected the resource location and clicked "launch."

In his opinion,

now,

Nothing is more important than surpassing Zhatian County.

As for the wounded soldiers?

They're just a bunch of NPCs; it's better for them to die in battle than to get injured, which would save them the trouble of getting treatment.

Including the lives of the people under its jurisdiction,

The morale of those militiamen,

These ones,

In Tang Yue's eyes, none of that mattered; what he pursued was to surpass Zha Tian County.

And this so-called transcendence

It's about influence!

In his opinion,

Influence value is the most direct proof.

As long as Blue Silver County's influence exceeds that of Skybreaker County,

That means,

Tang Yue is stronger than Han Yilin and is more qualified to be the number one in the region!

however,

What he didn't know was that...

The difference in power between the two sides is simply the smallest.

Because power can be artificially inflated by building up resource sites, by sacrificing soldiers' lives, or by having three people support an entire Blue Silver County, thus forcibly raising the numbers.

But the truly leading county is...

It's not about the power level figures, but rather the production system that various workshops are about to form, the shops that are moving in, and the bustling markets that bring with them a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere.

In comparison,

Influence value

It only represents the quantity of resource sites.

For Zhatian County today, it is just an insignificant part. In Han Yilin's view, occupying resource-rich areas every day is more like a daily task.

now,

Han Yilin has returned to Zhatian County.

They didn't pay any attention to the public opinion generated after the defeat of the Pingtian Army, including Liu Ruxue's miraculous actions.

Just treat it as a bit of fun.

Just laugh it off.

I can't exactly go to the chat channel and start arguing with Liu Ruxue.

of course,

In my heart,

Han Yilin was calculating the time carefully, just waiting for the protection period to end.

As for the present situation

The first thing I did after returning was...

Naturally, they approached Zhuang Li and began clearing out their stock.

After meeting,

Zhuang Li joked, "My lord, you've been quite busy these past few days."

Han Yilin, too lazy to waste words, said, "Alright, hurry up and calculate how much these can sell for."

As he spoke,

These days,

All the weapons that had been swept away were taken out and piled up into a mountain in front of the armory.

Zhuang Li grinned and said, "Alright, sir, please wait a moment, I'll count them for you right away."

finished,

With a wave of the hand,

Inside the shop,

Several men immediately came out and began to count the number of weapons.

among them,

There are a total of 561 weapons of various types of white quality.

There are a total of 321 green-quality weapons, plus the standard weapons of the Pingtian Army. However, some of them are severely damaged and can be considered scrapped, so there are only 481 weapons in total.

Other than that,

There are also some armors,

They were all taken from the bandit leader or just seized from the Pingtian Army. All in all, there were 121 of them.

Last time,

From the Pingtian Army

The captured armor,

Han Yilin distributed them all to the soldiers. Since the spoils were of little use, he decided to sell them.

After all this calculation...

Zhuang Li frantically fiddled with the abacus.

After waiting for a while,

Finally, the numbers were given.

"Sir, the purchase price remains the same as last time."

"In this way, the total is 1,432,000 copper coins."

"After deducting the final payment of 520,000, here is the remaining money. Please keep it safe, sir."

"As for the goods you ordered, sir, they are all in the backyard, including warhorses, vests, and long spears. You can come and pick them up anytime you need them."

While the inventory was completed,

Zhuang Li also took out the corresponding silver notes and loose change.

This world,

Copper coins were just the most basic form of currency; silver and gold naturally followed.

only,

During block trades,

Silver was still the primary currency, and banknotes were used as a means of payment.

The exchange rate between copper coins and silver was one thousand copper coins to one tael of silver.

but,

Even if what you get is silver,

On the territory's surface, copper coins were still used as the unit of measurement.

Keep the money safe.

Han Yilin glanced at the panel.

The number following the money has reached seven figures.

These days,

He has been leading troops to sweep through the explorable areas near Zhatian County, expanding the exploration range from the original ten miles to twenty miles.

During this process,

Whether through searching, seizing, or opening treasure chests, Han Yilin has already accumulated considerable wealth and resources.

right now,

After the transaction,

The remaining funds amount to more than 1.5 million.

Regarding this number,

Han Yilin felt he was definitely the richest man in the country.

only,

This number looks like a lot.

But when it comes to actually building an army, resources will definitely be stretched thin, and the higher the quality of the troops, the more resources will be consumed.

of course,

There's no need to consider these things now.

After the transaction is completed,

Han Yilin rushed to the training ground without stopping, ready to see Li Zehao's training results. Calculating the time, today was the agreed-upon day.

If the training process goes smoothly

So today,

You can form your own cavalry.

...

...

...

PS: There should be more later.

During this time,

I stay up all night watching the World Cup, my days and nights are reversed. I go to sleep every morning and don't wake up until late afternoon.

I can only write in the evenings and early mornings.
