Chapter 181: After getting military merits, can farming also produce a marquis? !

"You guessed it right." Zhao Xing smiled and nodded.

"Did they really steal it?!" Han Bing's expressionless face showed obvious shock.

"How is it possible to penetrate the seventh-grade defense of the Nether Flame warship?" Wang Ji was also surprised.

"Zhao Xing is not stupid, how could he fight head-on? Of course he would attack the enemy when they are least prepared... He is best at doing this." Han Bing said.

"Han Bing, how can you slander someone out of thin air?" Zhao Xing argued, "How can the military minister call it a sneak attack? Their spell range is not as large as mine, so you can't blame me for the sneak attack."

"That's right. Do you know Jun Si Nong?" Wang Ji said angrily. "Did you see, Brother Zhao, that's how he slandered me just now."

"..."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively. I can hear your voices from far away." Long Xiao jumped off the Mingyan warship.

"Meet Captain Long."

"Greetings, Lord Long."

Han Bing and Wang Ji saluted together.

When facing Long Xiao, they were obviously much more polite.

"We are trying to guess where this Dark Flame warship came from."

Long Xiao said: "Well, on the way here, Zhao Xing discovered a group of foreigners attacking the city of Zhenhai Army, so he and I followed them."

"They were a group of people from the Sand Tribe, but Zhao Xing and I killed them."

Wang Ji asked in confusion, "Did the city guard commander of the Zhenhai Navy give up such a large Dark Flame warship?"

Long Xiao snorted, "The garrison commander of the Zhenhai Army... never mind, let's not talk about it."

He remembered that Zhao Xing and Chen Lu had become close friends, so he didn't say anything more. But in Long Xiao's heart, Chen Lu was just an incompetent person.

"In short, he suffered a lot of losses. Without us, his body would have been cold. So he didn't feel comfortable sharing the spoils. Zhao Xing was kind and gave him 10%."

Zhao Xing shrugged: "In the war zone, more friends mean more paths."

Without Chen Lu, it would take an unknown amount of time for his Nether Flame warship to arrive, and there would be too many unexpected events with the transfer of personnel back and forth.

The 10% given to Chen Lu is only 10% of the shares in the storage room, not 10% of the shares of the Nether Flame Warship.

Zhao Xing has achieved some success today, and he has begun to follow Lao Chen's example and become an angel investor.

Chen Lu, just did it casually.

The Pingman War attracted many powerful talents from the Great Zhou to come here. He also planned to focus on investing in those talents who will rise in the future. This is a very important part of his future plans.

"Let's go in and talk first." Long Xiao said.

"Engineer Wang, arrange some personnel to take over the Dark Flame warship. It will be ours from now on." Zhao Xing said, "Also, for the people sent by Chen Lu, each of them will receive some hard work pay according to their official positions."

"Okay." Wang Ji rubbed his hands, "I'll go there myself."

He couldn't hold back any longer. He had only been on a fifth-tier battleship once and had never even entered the core cabin.

When Zhao Xing said he would give it to him to use, he was happier than getting a wife.

The Underworld Flame Battleship is an exotic version!
Wang Ji had seen everything, but he had never seen this before.

"Be careful when you get on board. If a part is broken, I will eat it!" Wang Ji shouted. It would be more difficult to replace parts of this thing than the warships of the Great Zhou.

"City No. 92 was built to county standards."

“Only half of it was built previously, but yesterday they started expanding the outer city, planning to make the original part the inner city.”

"Here is the list of the chief officers of each department. The Engineering Department has the most people, followed by the Agriculture Department. There were originally quite a few warriors, but Liao Rulong has been pulling them out, so now the number of people in the Military Department is less than that in the Agriculture Department. The number of priests and counselors is the least."

“This is a list of officials from each department.”

On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Han Bing was also introducing the situation of City No. 92 to Zhao Xing.

Although the city is small, it has all the five functions.

The five departments together have a total of about 5,000 people.

Among them, 70% were mechanical engineers and agricultural engineers, 20% were warriors, and 10% were priests.

There are only a few counselors and they can be ignored.

As for strength, it's neither good nor bad.

The list given by Han Bing includes training records of officials from various departments.

Except for Wang Ji and Han Bing, no one else completed the training with an A grade.

There are thirty-five people who received Grade B evaluation, ten of whom were Grade B (A), but they were not from the same class as Zhao Xing.

In short, compared to the period in Yuncheng, although the overall number of people has doubled, the number of geniuses has decreased.

But this is normal, as the strong ones were pulled to the front to fight by Liao Rulong.

Of course, this does not mean that the supply city is weak.

The overall strength level is expected to exceed that of the Yuncheng period. After all, the rank is there, and the total number of people from the seventh rank in each department exceeds fifty.

Although Liao Rulong's fighting style is aggressive, he is not a brainless reckless man. Even if Zhao Xing did not come, the defense level of the supply city is much higher than that of Chen Lu's city.

If the people of the Sand Clan chose to launch a surprise attack on City No. 92 of the Shenwei Army, they might be able to drive them away without Zhao Xinglong and Xiao having to take action.

Now Zhao Xing is the commander-in-chief of City No. 92, but he doesn’t have much to consider.

"For the expansion of the outer city, follow Wang Ji's plan. No need to change it." Zhao Xing said, "Call the other three chief officers to meet and briefly explain the progress of the task."

"But the mission of the Agricultural Supervisor needs to be adjusted."

"Okay, you tell me how to change it."

Changing the direction of the Ministry of Agriculture right from the start is tantamount to saying that Han Bing, the previous chief officer, did not do his job well, that is, Zhao Xing. If it was someone else, Han Bing would curse.

"Let's talk about it after the meeting. I still have to deal with the things on the Dark Flame warship." Zhao Xing said, "You will know later."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Han Bing got up and left.

Long Xiao sat in a chair eating fruit and watching Zhao Xing make arrangements.

He did not belong to the sequence of military generals in City No. 92. After a short rest, he would wait for the Yin God in the temple to send him the location of the front line, and then he would go to find Liao Rulong's large army.

The mountain cat stood on the table and ate with relish. It ate faster than Long Xiao, almost finishing one bite at a time.

After eating, he meowed at Zhao Xing.

"You are comfortable." Zhao Xing waved his hand and rolled out a plate of fourth-level fruit from the bamboo box. "We are here to fight, and you are here to enjoy yourself."

"Aotian, ignore him and eat." Long Xiao fed the fruit to the mountain cat with a smile.

Zhao Xing shook his head and took out the ground mirror to check his military achievements.

Since the Underworld Flame warship entered City No. 92, it was already within the coverage of the temple.

In addition, as for the Zhenhai Army, Chen Lu has already reported the situation to the military community through the temple.

Therefore, the military community has already made a judgment on this battle.

Chen Lu and all the living officials had varying amounts of military merit deducted from their awards according to the size of their official positions.

Among them, Chen Lu had the most deducted for his hard work over the past half month. He had accumulated more than 30,000 military merits, but only had 22,000 of them deducted directly!
Chen Lu's superior, Li Que, the commander of the Zhenhai Army fighting on the front line, also had 10,000 military merits deducted from his account.

Why? Because Li Que had transferred too many combat forces to the front line to attack the foreign tribes, and neglected the defense of the city in the rear.

If he hadn't mobilized so many people... City No. 109 of the Zhenhai Army might not have been broken even if Zhao Xing hadn't come.

Therefore, how powerful the main general can fight depends on whether the rear is stable. If it is unstable, your success will be lost in vain, and you may even suffer a huge loss.

"Chen Lu and his men lost their military merits, but Long Xiao and I gained more military merits."

Zhao Xing looked at the information in the ground mirror.

Since it is in the city, the ground mirror can also receive news from the military world through the base station "Tiangongfang".

[Zhao Xing, the commander of the Shenwei Army, on June 15000, the th year of the Jingxin calendar, you defeated the sneak attack of the Sand Tribe, killed a seventh-rank enemy, and saved the th city of the Zhenhai Army. You were awarded points of military merit.]

If you kill an alien race that is not of a high rank, the military merit is uniformly 1 point.

Killing a ninth-grade warrior will earn you 10-40 points of military merit, corresponding to four levels: ninth-grade positive, positive, negative, and negative.

Kill an eighth-grade monster and you will get 100-400 points of military merit.

Kill a seventh-grade monster and you will get 1000-4000 points of military merit.

Killing a sixth-grade enemy will earn you 1 to 4 military merits.

The above is the normal statistical standard for military merits. Sometimes there will be fluctuations, and even special circumstances may cause this limit to be exceeded.

Capturing, subduing, and obtaining intelligence can also earn you military merits.

But for now, the military community gives relatively low military merits for such situations.

Because the current war level is relatively low, and the main purpose is to kill the basic combat power of the Nanman and weaken the probability of the Nanman's high-end combat power. Therefore, killing is the main purpose, and capturing and surrendering are not the main purpose, so the military merit is naturally low.

As for intelligence, the highest rank of battlefield personnel is no more than sixth rank. What important intelligence can they have?

With the Good Fortune Disk, the value of obtaining intelligence for military merit is also very low.

"Kill the seventh-grade monster and get 4000 points. Some of the soldiers killed by Long Xiao will be counted on me because I covered him. The value of those alien soldiers is about the same."

"Ten thousand points for saving the city. It's like transferring part of the military merits deducted from the officials of Zhenhai Army to me and Long Xiao." Zhao Xing said secretly.

Long Xiao’s military merits were over 2, and he killed quite a lot of people.

But in the "saving the city" item, Long Xiao and himself also have 1 points.

The amount deducted from Chen Lu was far greater than the military merits obtained by Zhao Xing. This was to prevent the operation of brushing military merits.

"If I hand in the Dark Flame warship, my military merits will increase dramatically, and I can even leap into the top 100 of the Seventh-Rank List."

"But it's not worthwhile to hand it in."

Keeping the Nether Flame warship would be more useful to Zhao Xing. As for military merits, he would have many opportunities to gain them.

For example, military merit missions.

Logistics troops have their own unique way of measuring combat merit.

You don't have to kill the enemy to achieve merit.

For example, Wang Ji led people to build the city.

Completing a first-level city means 100,000 military merits.

The completion of the second-level city means 200,000 military merits.

Currently, City No. 92 is a third-level city under construction and has not yet been fully completed.

If completed, he would be rewarded with 500,000 military merits.

However, the military world will also settle accounts in stages, and every participant will have a share.

After coming here for half a month, Wang Ji has accumulated fifty or sixty thousand military merits. Among the seventh-grade soldiers, he is already ranked among the top ten thousand.

The Mechanical Division is considered to have made military achievements for building a city, and also for defending the city.

If the enemy attacks and you successfully defend your position, your military merit will be counted, but if you fail, your military merit will be deducted, and it will be a huge deduction.

In addition, you can also gain military merit by making and repairing equipment for front-line troops.

Tasks are divided into 'main tasks' and 'general tasks'.

Killing enemies will earn you credit based on the number of heads and rank. Mechanical engineers can also gain credit by killing enemies, which is an additional general task.

If you do it, you will be rewarded; if you don’t do it, it’s okay too.

If you fail to complete the assigned tasks within the deadline, your military merits will be deducted.

Some tasks can be done repeatedly, such as the mechanism master's "Soul-breaking Crossbow" and "God-breaking Crossbow", the Heavenly Net, the Boundary-breaking Glazed Pearls and other items.

These are consumables!

At this stage in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the army is rapidly advancing to capture the city, and the demand for these things is huge, and they can be almost unlimited.

Even if what you have made is enough for your own army, you can still continue to make it in exchange for military merits without affecting your "main mission".

Because of the existence of the 'Transfer Envoy', the resources of each army will be allocated reasonably.

Once the transport envoy's ship arrives, the extra treasures can be taken away directly and supplied to the rest of the army.

The needs are different in different periods, and the tasks are not static.

The same goes for Sinong.

"Today's daily tasks all require 'vitality replenishment' food."

"The soldiers need a lot of food to replenish their strength and restore their vitality."

"But as time goes by, the insect witches, poison witches, and blood witches in the Southern Wasteland will take action, which will lead to a surge in demand for detoxification and blood-replenishing herbs!"

"In addition, when entering the extreme areas of the Southern Wilds, such as the 'Purple Cloud Swamp', there is a poisonous miasma everywhere. Ordinary fourth-level detoxification pills will not last long. Only pills made from 'Heavenly Heart Grass' can last for a long time."

"There is also the 'Fire Demon Clan' that attacked the Purple Dragon King's Court. The environment where the Fire Demon Clan lives is full of fire poison. They are used to living in such a place, but the soldiers of the Great Zhou are not used to it."

"The fire-proof clothing made of Earth Fire Lotus has become the most cost-effective fourth-level combat clothing... All the general and basic tasks given to Si Nong by the military world are this stuff, and the combat merits are also very high."

Zhao Xing recalled the scenes in his previous life when he was analyzing the case of "Emperor Jing pacifying the Barbarians".

"There will definitely be a large shortage of these items, so I must prepare in advance."

The four royal courts of the Southern Wilds were not without the ability to fight, but they retreated step by step in the early stages, hoping to use the environment of the Southern Wilds to stop the enemy.

Farmers grow plants, which is related to almost all professions. Engineers manufacture machinery, and all kinds of wood are indispensable.

The same is true for the yellow paper and incense used in sacrifices, and the material of the Weaver Girl’s robes.

It can be said that Si Nong is at the top of most professions.

"I remember that during this Pacification War, there were several Si Nong who, relying on their keen judgment of the battle reports from the front lines, grew a large amount of urgently needed materials, and they found themselves being awarded the title of Marquis while growing crops."

Zhao Xing muttered, "Maybe I can follow the path of my teacher and ancestors."

Tian Yan's title of Marquis Tian was inherited from his ancestors.

His ancestors were granted the title of duke after the founding of the country because they followed Taizu to fight in wars and were good at farming.

Why did Zhao Xing tell Han Bing that he wanted to adjust the direction of the Sino-Agricultural Supervisory Commissioner as soon as he arrived at City No. 92?

Because he remembered clearly what materials were missing at what time, these were all things he had to remember when he was deducing the case of Emperor Jingdi pacifying the barbarians in his previous life.

If you can't remember these things, your winning rate will drop significantly.

"In addition to farming, there are many other ways to gain military merit, even including robbery."

Zhao Xing stood up and walked outside the mansion.

At this moment in the square, the Nether Flame warship had already flown to the territory of Tiangong Workshop.

However, all the spoils in the storage room were kept, and Wang Ji was leading people to sort them out.

"Among the things we looted, there are a lot of herbs, food, and materials for making equipment."

"Once I submit these things, I will be able to gain a lot of military merits."

Zhao Xing smiled.

Many of the things that the Sand Tribe people robbed were materials on the task list.

The ready-made materials are here, and once submitted, the task can be completed immediately.

He didn't want these dragon figures and gave them all to Zhao Xing.

One reason is that he was too lazy to take these small pieces. If he killed a seventh-grade monster, he could get one thousand to four thousand military merits.

Second, there are relatively few "general tasks" for warriors. Even if he takes the spoils and submits them, he won't get much merit. If the merit is converted according to the "trophies", the value is not high.

Just give it to Zhao Xing to deal with.

"Zhao Xing, we've finished processing everything." Wang Ji ran over. "Among the things that the Sand Tribe looted, there are 14,532 pieces of finished armor and equipment, most of which are level 2 or 3, with only about ten level 4 pieces."

"Various semi-finished products such as medicinal materials, ores, equipment materials, and vestments materials, totaling 53,462 pieces. Most of them are of the third order, with very few of the second and fourth orders."

Zhao Xing looked at the list and nodded, saying, "Take 10% of these things and send someone to deliver them to Chen Lu of the Zhenhai Army. This is what I promised him."

"The rest of the finished products will be stored in the internal warehouses of each department for emergency use. If the departments encounter difficult 'main tasks' or are in urgent need, they can use them to fill the gap."

Wang Ji nodded, and his admiration for Zhao Xing increased even more.

These were all Zhao Xing's personal spoils of war, but he was willing to take them out and put them in the treasuries of various departments for future use. His vision was grand.

"The rest of the semi-finished materials, all those related to Si Nong's main tasks and general tasks, will be divided into the Shenwei Army's internal warehouse and transfer warehouse, and used to submit my personal military merits. It's been almost a month since I came here, so let me complete all the military merit tasks that can be done." Zhao Xing said.

He would not keep the things related to Si Nong as a backup, as he had to satisfy his own needs first.

"Understood." Wang Ji immediately did as Zhao Xing asked.

Zhao Xing opened the ground mirror and looked at the military mission of his Junshu Order.

When Wang Ji sent someone to archive the files.

There were multiple task completion prompts from the ground mirror:
[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army, you have completed the task of 'planting sweet spirit grass' (6000 copies) and obtained points of military merit. This task cannot be submitted again this month.]

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Power Army, you have completed the task of 'planting aconite fruit' (one thousand copies) and obtained 1000 points of military merit. This task cannot be submitted again this month.]

[Zhao Xing of the Divine Might Army, you have completed it...]

　There will be another update today, expected at 2 o'clock. In addition, I would like to recommend a friend's book "Mythical Craftsmanship". The portal is below.
