Your treasure status will take effect immediately!
Your prestige has increased by 5000!（85%）
Your reputation points have increased by 200! [You have reached the 'Initial Fame' stage. Reputation will affect your promotion, recruitment, and transactions.]
Zhao Xing returned to the county office under the cheers of the crowd.
Along the way, he saw the system notification.
His prestige and reputation kept increasing.
It was obviously an additional effect brought about by the treasure.
"Prestige represents my power and control over this city. It can increase the flow of government decrees. If my prestige is insufficient, it will be difficult to implement the government decrees.”
"However, they have enough prestige. Even if there are some policies that the people find difficult to understand, even if they don't understand them, they believe in the authority of the government and will follow them. They won't easily lose the hearts of the people.”Zhao Xing thought to himself.
For example, even if he did something out of line, such as freeloading or raising taxes, the people's hearts would not drop significantly.
This was prestige.
Of course, it was still not possible to forcefully snatch a commoner's daughter.
Secondly, it was the effect of prestige.
Reputation was more effective on individuals and outside of Cloud City.
The simplest example would be recruiting refugees and promoting officials.
"In the first stage of 'reputation showing', I can buy things from foreign merchants with debts?”
"Including attracting foreign chambers of commerce to enter Cloud City, and famous generals to join us?”Zhao Xing was surprised.
He didn't expect that the four treasures he used today would allow his reputation level to break through.
The authority and prestige of the government controlled the internal affairs.
Personal reputation affected the outside world.
At the moment, it didn't seem to be very useful, but when it was upgraded, it would affect all aspects.
"Milord, there are a total of five gentry clans in Cloud City.”
"In the previous investigation, the three families were willing to cooperate, but the two families still had many obstacles. However, just now, they sent people in charge to say that they were willing to cooperate.”
Not long after, Zhang Qing reported a piece of good news.
"Oh? That's indeed a good thing." Zhao Xing said with a smile.
Cloud City had an initial population of 50,000.
There were 1,000,000 mu of farmland inside and outside the city.
It sounded like a lot, but it wasn't a lot. It could even be said to be a little!
This was because only five mu of land could feed one person.
This also excluded the phenomenon of large families and gentry possessing more.
After a series of missions such as 'checking the population',' re-registering the household','killing lawless people', and' shocking the great clans'.
The population had increased by 10,000!
The farmland had doubled!
"Fortunately, I did this series of missions to reorganize the county. Otherwise, this situation would not have happened.”Zhao Xing thought to himself.
In the World Chat, many people talked about accepting bribes from large clans to increase their strength.
However, this was not the right path.
To complete the series of missions, he had to first deal with a large race.
If he didn't fight hard, he wouldn't be able to complete this mission.
If he could not complete this series of missions, he would not be able to increase the population and land.
The population and land were directly related to the tax revenue of his government, hindering development.
"Those people seem to have obtained some small benefits, but they have picked up the sesame seed and lost the watermelon.”Zhao Xing muttered to himself.
"Those people? Who are you talking about?" Zhang Qing was puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing. Continue." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
"This subordinate plans to divide the land that the five great clans have concealed into two parts.”
"One is to pay five times the taxes of previous years.”
"Second, if there is no official land register, it will be confiscated and become official land.”
Zhao Xing listened carefully and said,
"Five times is too high. It will make people say that I am a cruel official, and it will also make foreign big families and merchants stay away from me.”
"If Yun City wants to develop, it will require the support of these large clans.”
"In addition, for the fields that are not registered in the land register, first find the original owner and find out if there was any occupation. Give the five families three days to return them to the original owner, and I will let bygones be bygones.”
"If we find out after three days, it won't be so simple.”
"As for the remaining land that has no owner, it will be used as official land for the refugees to cultivate.”Xing Zhao said.
"Sir is wise." Zhang Qing nodded.
Zhao Xing could also use the four production increasing treasures in the government, so why did he have to go to the city walls with such fanfare?
Of course, it was to intimidate those great clans.
However, the government and the great clans were not completely on opposite sides.
This group of people happened to be the smartest and knew how to develop. It was impossible to kill them.
Otherwise, he would be cutting off his own business foundation.
Zhao Xing gave three days.
In fact, after the first day, these five great clans had obediently come to the government to cooperate.
There was no way they could not cooperate. Five hundred iron cavalry and more than two thousand spearmen loitered outside the manor all day long, scaring people to death.
One of them was a white-haired, hunchbacked old man who caught Xing Zhao's attention.
"This old man admires the County Lord's methods. My Gongsun family is willing to follow the County Lord's lead.”Gongsun Yang cupped his hands.
After Gong Sun Yang said this, a notification appeared on Zhao Xing's interface.
You have received Gong Sun Yang's entire family's allegiance!
Name: Gong Sun Yang
[Quality: Advanced Talent (Industry, Commerce)]
[Growth Star: Nine Stars]
[Level: Level 19 (Inborn Realm)]
[Skilled Craftsman (Intermediate Talent): Possesses the craftsmanship skills of the Gongsun Family. Proficient in forging all kinds of divine weapons. The success rate of forging low-level divine weapons increases by 50%, mid-level divine weapons increases by 20%, and high-level divine weapons increases by 10%. There is a certain chance to give divine weapons additional attributes.]
[Nanyang Business Reputation (Advanced): The goods you sell will be sold at a higher price if you trade with the restricted forces. The materials you buy will be sold at a lower discount if you trade with the restricted forces.]
"Hmm? He was actually a high-level talent with an intermediate specialty?”Zhao Xing was stunned.
Moreover, Gong Sun Yang did not only have the ability to forge equipment.
There was also an advanced title that increased Nanyang's reputation.
Yun City belonged to Nanyang County. In other words, this old man actually had a very high reputation in Nanyang's business world!
"I actually got such a talent?”Zhao Xing felt that it was unreal.
In fact, every city had its own unique conditions and flaws.
The initial population of 50,000 was not a number, but a living person.
In the process of reorganizing the county, what kind of countermeasures would cause what kind of consequences?
Of course, to Zhao Xing, he had the talent for synthesis. Even if he made a mistake, it didn't matter. His fault tolerance was very high.
"The follow-up effects of this series of missions are not small. If the other descenders were dealt with too harshly or too lightly, they might not be able to attract the other descenders.”Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He had a vague understanding of the mission.
This was a very important piece of information. He wondered if the other descenders had discovered it.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Xing decided to put it into practice.
He quickly got up and came down from the hall. He helped Gong Sun Yang up and revealed his white teeth,"
"Mister Gongsun, you don't have to be so polite. With your help, I'm like a fish in water.”
"Thank you, County Lord." Gong Sun Yang smiled as Zhao Xing helped him to his seat.
Ding! Gong Sun Yang's Loyalty increased by 5 points. Current Loyalty: 81.
" As expected…" Zhao Xing understood and returned to his seat.
