Vol 3 Chapter 1692: -Competition

Ji thief hadn't made a sound for a long time, which made Usma and Yi both puzzled. They turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, with a blank expression on their faces.
Yi looked at Usma, and asked, "Brother Usma, what's the matter with the king? Why did you stop talking suddenly?"
Usma didn't know, so he walked up, stretched out his hand and shook his arm in front of Ji Zei's eyes.
While shaking, he also called Ji Thief.
"Huh? It's strange, the king is talking about falling asleep? It shouldn't be, I know that the king is sleeping, and I haven't seen him open his eyes to sleep."
I was wondering here. Suddenly, Ji thief made an electric shot, and with a snap, it blocked Usma's wrist.
Usma was taken aback. She watched the thief cleverly and slapped her chest: "Big, lord, are you okay."
The thief looked up at Usma: "I'm fine, it's Usma, you are so brave, so I'm not afraid that I will deduct your money."
Usma was dumbfounded: "It's not the king, what did I do wrong?"
"Are you okay, why are you dangling in front of me?"
"Didn't I see that you suddenly stopped talking?"
"Stop talking, deduct money."
"My lord, you did this on purpose!"
"Just assume that I was deliberate."
Usma's heart is dead.
After teasing Usma for a while, the thief took a hippie smile: "Okay, don't tease you, I thought about what you just said, shipping by sea is completely feasible. If we do well, we can't say it. This is the bulk of our income in the future."
Usma said, "Is it such an exaggeration?"
"Why not? On the sea, we can send our tribe's novelties to other territories for sale, and we can also bring back other territories and sell them in our tribe. The profit is beyond your imagination. And I told you, Sailing at sea and making money are of secondary importance. The most important thing is that once maritime navigation is opened, the 26 territories in the north and south will develop at a speed that you can't imagine, understand?"
Usma looked embarrassed: "Isn't it the king, is it as good as you said?"
"Look, you don't know this. If you want to build a road before you get rich, you think you just talk about it? You know what the various territories are like before, and you can see what the various territories are like after the road is built. If we say that we choose the sea, which is more convenient than land transportation, and that the various territories are connected in series with each other and communication is more frequent, then the development speed cannot take off?"
Ji Thief frowned, and Teng Teng Teng said a lot, because of Usma's ability to understand, he couldn't understand it. He looked at Ji Thief with a blank expression, but just nodded blankly.
Ji Pirate said a lot, let alone Usma, but Ji Pirate was optimistic about Yi, he was so smart, he could hear it in the mist.
At the end of hearing, the two of them understood one thing. If you use the sea to sail, there are many benefits, it's that simple.
Rubbing his head, Yi asked a key question: "Majesty, that's right, but there is one more thing."
The thief stopped talking and asked Yi: "What's the matter?"
Yi pursed his lips: "That is, we make a sailboat to find resources on the sea. We travel through various territories back and forth. What about the sea?"
Yi raised this question, and the thief immediately looked back at Usma
When the thief's gaze came over, Usma's heart shook, and a bad feeling spontaneously emerged.
Subconsciously, he felt bad.
"Usma, since you can make a sailboat, you can also make a second and third boat?"
When he said these words, Ji Zei smiled and looked harmless.
Usma yelled, "Don't be the king, I'm very tired."
The Ji thief insidiously tempted: "Oh, I'm not tired or tired. This second and third boat doesn't need to be as big as the first sailing boat. It's okay to be smaller. After all, it's just sailing along the coast, not to the sea The center is not."
Usma frowned: "My lord, you are right and relaxed."
The thief slapped Usma on the shoulder, "Usma, come on, I believe you can do it."
Yi was even more at a loss: "No, my lord, what are you talking about with Brother Usma?"
The thief said cheerfully: "It's okay, it's not about telling Usmafei that I'm idle and I'm okay and let me arrange work for him. I can't refuse it.
Uthma said when did I say it?
"Since maritime trade is confirmed, then if this is the case, our currency will be sufficient. I think that the issue of army expansion can be finalized. Nowadays, if we don't count the Tianling Fortress, we have about two thousand combat clansmen. Come on, all of you come up with ideas to see how appropriate the scale of our army expansion is?" Ji Thief asked for advice.
Usma didn't answer, but just lowered her head, and kept talking about it, and she would be exhausted now.
Yi was better, but after listening to Ji Zei's words, he lowered his head and thought seriously.
After thinking for a long time, he raised his head to test the Chongji Thief and said, "How about Three Thousand?"
The Ji thief waved his hand: "Too little, too little, Yi, just tell you this. From now on, we still have to go west. When Ahhuang and Addo come back, our westward plan is almost ready. Three thousand In terms of people, don’t you think it’s missing?"
Yi gritted his teeth: "Then five thousand."
"Five thousand is too much. We have a total of 20,000 people. We can't support one by four. Moreover, we have so many young and strong. It is not realistic to take out five thousand at once."
Yi said, "Then, that four thousand?"
"This is just right."
Yi heaved a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, I will start arranging the expansion of various combat departments?"
Ji thief waved his hand: "Don't worry. In the past, all recruits were registered independently, and they were all entered through screening. I think this is a bit bad."
Yi was surprised: "No, I think it's okay."
Ji Zei pressed Yi's shoulder: "Yi, you should think so, what are our draft requirements?"
"Obey orders, be strong."
"Yes, obeying orders. This is fine for most people, but it doesn’t work if they are strong, because some people, although they are mighty and majestic, but their combat effectiveness is poor, and some people are weak and weak. , But his combat effectiveness is strong. For example, Ah Huang, who would have thought that such a monkey-like child would be the strongest in our tribe?"
"The king, what do you mean?"
When I was navigating on the sea by Usma, it would be a little bit. It seems that the Ji thief who has opened all thoughts clenched his fists and said with scorching eyes: "If you want me to say, let's hold a competition within all territories!"
"Competition???"
"Yes, it's the competition. This time the competition, in all the territories, there is no limit to the identity, no limit to the number of competitions. Are we not two thousand combat tribesmen now?"
"Yes."
"So, what I think is that one thousand will be set aside for this lack of two thousand. In addition to the selection of our tribe, one thousand are left. It is determined by the people who come to compete in various territories. Quota. And speaking."
When it comes to this, Ji Thief is extremely shy.
Ji Thief's abrupt performance made Yi very puzzled, and asked Ji Thief what happened.
Usma, who had been talking about losing his soul next to him, came back so well: "The king definitely wants to take advantage of this competition to make money."
Yi was surprised: "No way."
I don't know, Ji Thief lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes, like a shy little lady: "Yeah."
easy:"···"
The thief said: "Usma is right. We can take advantage of this competition to make money. Well, the name can be bigger, the reward can be richer, and it can attract people from all over the country to participate. By the way, let's make some profit. ."
Speaking of the last, Ji Thief was embarrassed again.
Usma murmured: "My lord, don't pretend to be embarrassed. We know everything about you."
"Go, do you think the project for adding two additional ships is missing?"
When the words were spoken, Usma fought a cold war fiercely: "Don't, don't be the king, I, I'm joking."
Ji Thief hummed.
Yi is still puzzled: "No, the king, according to what you said, this is only one thousand places. In our tribe, there are currently five thousand without jobs, and seven thousand jobs are not fixed. There are a total of 12 thousand people. As for the tribesmen, even after deducting the 1,000 quota, there are still 10,000 tribesmen who have no work arrangements. Isn't this still the problem?"
