Vol 3 Chapter 1691: -Are you cheating me?

Xue smiled: "Well, if that's the case, I won't interfere."
Ji thief nodded and sent Xue away.
When Xue was sent out from here, Ji Thief immediately sat down limply, raised his head to the ceiling, and sighed heavily.
Alas, it doesn't seem like a big deal to be so relaxed just in front of Xue, but how does Xue understand that arranging jobs for the tribe is the most difficult thing.
Twenty thousand people, one thousand and two have no fixed job, how do you think about it, how it makes people heady.
I have been patronizing the vagrants to develop the scale of the tribe before, and I didn't regard the tribe as the same thing in the future. What I would think is that as long as there are more tribes, the work will naturally be arranged.
But it turns out that I think too much.
There are so many jobs in the tribe, not everyone can be taken care of.
At this moment, things are a little difficult to handle.
It's also difficult and easy, the three men of Lihuo, he is in charge of internal affairs.
It is his ability to take care of so many people from the tribe, and to be able to stay stable for so long.
Here, the thief thought to himself, for about twenty minutes, both Usma and Yi followed Tushan.
Both of them were very busy, and sweat was still hanging on their faces when they came.
"Come on, sit down first." Ji Thief waved politely.
Yi was very calm and sat down, but Usma snorted, feeling a little confused, and said: "Then what king, sit or sit, don't worry, you'd better talk about something first."
Ji Thief laughed and cursed after hearing the words: "You fellow, I care about you and let you rest for a while. You are not happy, right?"
Usma shrank her neck: "Forget it, Lord. Every time you came back from the outside before, you stayed with Master Xue Jin. It's like this time, just call us when you come back. Needless to say, There must be something important that you can't solve for us. Even if it is the next day, I won't be so unsure in my heart."
The thief looked at Usma speechlessly: "The old boy has learned badly. You really guessed it. Calling you to come, there is really something important to discuss with you."
Usma said immediately, "No, lord, I'll just talk about it casually, do you really have something to tell us?"
Ji Thief looked seriously: "Do you think I am joking with you?"
"Uh···"
Compared with Usma, Yi is not so poor.
He looked at Ji Thief seriously: "My lord, what can we help?"
The thief immediately pointed to Yi: "Look, Usma, take a look, learn more from Yi, don't complain about your tiredness with me here if you have nothing to do."
Usma sighed: "I was still young. When I first followed you, I was the same as Yi, working hard, now, oh..."
Ji thief: "···"
"Okay, stop complaining. I call you to come, there are two main things."
"What are you talking about?"
The thief nodded, and in front of the two of them, he explained what he had discussed with Xue just now.
"Now, I have already figured out how to deal with matters on the Cangyun Plain. It is mainly the work of our people and how to arrange it."
Usma said: "I am in charge of engineering. Please discuss with Yi, King."
Speaking of Usma, stood up.
"If you dare to step out of your left foot, you won't be paid for the next year."
The left foot was already lifted to the ground. Hearing the words of the thief, Usma forcibly held back, changed his right foot and asked: "What if I step here first?"
"Not in the next ten years."
Hearing this, Usma's face changed drastically, and it took him a long time to reply, and smiled at Ji thief far-fetched: "Look at you, my lord, I just sit for a long time and feel a little tired to move around. Are you ?"
Ji thief waved his hand: "Don't worry about the poor, let's talk about it, how should the tribe's work be arranged? It is not about how to arrange the work, at least, you have to find something for everyone to make money."
"Isn't it easy? Majesty, you can arrange something and let them do it. Then, you can give them money every month."
"Hehe, I said as generous as I am, and as if I said how much money I have."
"Then I can't help it."
"Eh, Usma, you reminded me, you said, if I take your money to pay everyone, wouldn't everyone be happy? Everyone has something to do and get money, I also save money. You say Isn't it good to deal with this?"
Usma immediately jumped up and said, "My lord! Are you pitting me?"
"Then you are fine, come up with a way out for me, and then fool me, I really deduct your money."
"Uh···"
The two of them are silly, only Yi Yi is thinking about solving the problem seriously.
"My lord, why don't we expand our army?"
I still heard the things I didn't want to hear.
The thief turned his head to look at Yi and sighed: "Yi, it is easy to expand the army, but where does the money come from? Yes, the tribe now has five million currency deposits, but if the army expands, these five million It won’t last long. We can’t run the Victoria's Secret Race here to make money if we don’t have any money.

Yi groaned, "Actually, my lord, we don't have that currency now."
Ji Thief: "??? What the hell? Not so many?"
Yi was embarrassed: "Yes, yes, now we are around two million."
"No, what about the three hundred? Where did they go? Lost?"
"Majesty, the construction of the palace, the tiger temple, and the docks you mentioned, all of these cost money, and, moreover."
"And what?"
"Furthermore, these two million currencies will be used for construction in the future, which is equivalent to saying that the three places of the palace, the tiger temple, and the pier have completely emptied the currency we previously deposited."
Usma stretched his hands: "There is nothing we can do now, nor can we expand the army."
When the words fell to the floor, the thief suddenly looked back at Usma.
Usma smashed a strong spirit, feeling the cold, and before the thief said that the money was deducted, she preemptively said: "Then what king, I, I don't know if there is a way."
"Say."
Usma spit out: "Yes, such a king, I have been thinking about a problem before."
"what?"
"Our sailing boat is also kept, why can't we use that boat to transport supplies?"
"Delivering supplies?" Ji Thief was taken aback.
Usma nodded: "Yes, the guide car hasn't been built yet, and the ship can't go deep into the sea. We put it on it too. Why don't we use a ship to transport the goods? It’s to drive the ox cart and go as far as you go. It’s a waste of time. If you use a sailboat, you can save time and money at the same time. Then, the remaining money, let’s not be Can you arrange jobs for other tribesmen, or is the army expanded?"
Usma originally wanted to use sailing boats to save costs and to fund other things.
However, Usma did not expect that these words she said unexpectedly reminded the thief.
As we all know, the current 26 territories in the north and south are close to the sea, which are long in the north and south, and narrow in the east and west. Let’s put it this way, the twenty-six territories, not to mention that each territory is close to the sea, but at least a third of them. One, they are all close to the sea.
Compared to land, the sea is so convenient.
In this era, only one family has mastered the strength of maritime transportation.
If according to Usma's words, transport goods at sea and trade with various territories, then the tribe is no longer limited to relying solely on Victoria's secret horse racing to make a fortune.
Like in the past, every time the Lihuo tribe transported goods to various territories, for example, the transported goods can theoretically earn one-third of the benefits, but after the subsequent transactions are cleared, only tenth is in hand. One profit.
Among them, all of them were taken by people on the road.
But if you travel by sea like Usma, it will be different, not to mention the significant cost savings, and the income will increase.
More importantly, relying on maritime trade can speed up the development of civilization in various territories, not to mention, the income will also be very considerable, and it is not necessary. As before, the entire tribe is waiting for Victoria's secrets and horse racing during the New Year. Income.
Ji thief has a hunch that if sea navigation is opened, the speed of development in various places will be more than doubled!
