Lord of the People: Starting from the Goblins

Chapter 40 Inspecting the Territory (2.8k) (Please follow up!)

Walking in the gravel city, Chen Tao couldn't help showing a smile as he watched the goblin residents buy goods and food, and bargain with the goblin merchants.

The goblin residents who met on the road knelt down and saluted after seeing him, with respectful expressions, and dared to stand up only after he was gone.

Chen Tao did not stop the Goblin residents from kneeling and saluting. After all, he did not intend to develop the great goal of equality for all.

He just wants to be a dictator, and if one order goes on, everyone has to obey him.

Let alone monsters like goblins.

It has to be said that even though he was given the title of Goblin Lord, Chen Tao still doesn't like creatures like Goblins.

"The monetary and economic system of the territory is still too rough. I feel that it is easy to go wrong. With the development, we still need to improve it."

The gravel city is not big. After Chen Tao took the two goblin warriors around, he frowned slightly.

Now, according to Chen Tao's own ideas, the territory has issued a metal currency - copper coins.

Only copper coins, no silver or gold coins.

No silver coins were issued because there were no silver mines in the territory, and no gold coins were issued because the gold mines in the territory were too small, and the amount of pure gold mined and refined was not much.

Also, there is absolutely no need to issue gold coins with a very large face value, because the current consumption level in the territory is very low, and copper coins are completely sufficient.

The main consumption of Goblin residents is processed food, bread, fruit, meat, some woven animal skin clothes, and simple farm tools.

Luxuries and enjoyments basically haven't appeared yet. It can only be said that there are signs of this, and it is still influenced by him, the lord.

Some goblin warriors around him would occasionally brag with other goblins, saying that the lord had concocted something strange again, and then passed it on to the ears of the goblin residents. Goblin residents will follow suit and imitate some crude similar items.

"What can one copper coin buy in the current territory? What's the value?"

Chen Tao asked the two goblin warriors.

As his personal guard, the monthly salary of the Goblin Warrior is two hundred copper coins, of course, the premise is that food and housing are also included.

The goblin warrior 'Bart' on Chen Tao's left thought for a while and replied, "A piece of loess wheat bread the size of my fist, or a standard small leather bag of rice."

Because the detailed unit of catty has not been confirmed, the current measurement unit used in the territory is still based on the size of the item.

The most common one is animal skin bags, which are divided into small, medium and large animal skin bags. Generally, goblin residents buy things with copper coins, and then put them in animal skin bags. How much are half of them? , How many copper coins are filled, probably like this.

Simple and convenient, the most important thing is practical, suitable for the current goblin society.

Chen Tao nodded, indicating that he understood.

He looked at the stone buildings in the gravel city. Most of these buildings were three stories high, and there were very few buildings with less than three stories or more than three stories.

The reason for not building more than three floors is because the construction capacity of the territory has not reached the standard. Buildings with more than three floors have the risk of collapse or death of goblin peons working at heights.

Instead of building a one-story or two-story building, it is because it is too wasteful of the city's area.

Now the density of goblins in Chen Tao's territory is extremely high.

Excluding some unregistered goblins in the dungeon who were born privately, there are [-] registered goblins.

And these numbers of goblins are all crowded in a small territory of two square kilometers. If the underground city has not been opened up to relieve a considerable part of the goblins, I am afraid that the surface territory is already crowded with goblins. , the sea of ​​green is everywhere.

In the population data reported by Kisame, the number of goblins currently living in the dungeon has exceeded [-], and if there are no statistics, it is not outrageous to reach [-].

At present, only one floor of the underground city has been completely built. The plane area is almost close to the total area of ​​the surface territory, that is, two square kilometers. Hundreds of goblins even form an ecological circle.

Chen Tao had a hunch that when his territory became larger, this dungeon would definitely gradually form a huge and intricate underground goblin kingdom over time.

"Have you two ever been to a dungeon?"

"No subordinate." Bart shook his head. As a powerful goblin warrior, he disdains living in a dark dungeon with weak goblins.

Another goblin warrior nodded unexpectedly and said, "This subordinate has been there twice."

"How's the environment?" Chen Tao asked curiously.

As a lord, he has never been there before, because when the dungeon was first built, it was not safe.

Every few days, it will be reported that the excavation here has collapsed, and there are highly poisonous underground creatures, etc., and because of the reproduction characteristics of the territory, the number of these creatures hiding deep underground is extremely considerable. , and even hide powerful monsters with high bronze levels.

Every time something like a collapse or a karst cave appears, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

In the past year, there have been more than 2000 horrible goblins who died in the collapse, and nearly [-] died in the hands of underground monsters, creatures, and poisons.

However, with the gradual development and stabilization of the first floor of the dungeon, the current first floor of the dungeon will no longer collapse for no reason.

But... some time ago, Chen Tao began to ask for a second-level dungeon.

"For the construction and prosperity of the territory, sacrifices are inevitable. They are all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the territory."

Chen Tao sighed and thought, as for whether he really thinks that these goblins who died at the hands of monsters in collapsed buildings are heroes, only God knows.

"Say it again, I didn't pay attention just now."

When Chen Tao came back to his senses, he found that another goblin warrior, Butch, had finished speaking.

But it’s okay, it’s okay to say it again.

Butch let out a breath, and seriously told the distracted lord about the environment of the dungeon again.

"The underground city section of the territory is very difficult to walk, it is very rugged, and the roads, large and small, are like a maze, and it is easy to get lost.

When my subordinates went there for the first time, they got lost.”

Bucky blushed a little when he said this, because for Goblins, getting lost in a cave is a ridiculous thing.

In the eyes of goblins, goblins, and some crypt creatures, the intricate crypts and caves are like a paradise. They have a strong ability to identify directions in this environment, and more or less have night vision ability.

That's why Butch blushes, which is as outrageous as not knowing that for the first time.

Chen Tao didn't laugh at it, but its good partner Bart couldn't help laughing.

"You really have Bucky, it's a disgrace to our warriors."

Butch glared at it angrily, if the lord was not by his side, it would definitely beat Bart up!
"Stop making trouble, keep talking." Chen Tao interrupted the budding friendship between them.

Butch coughed, and after secretly glancing at Bart again, he quickly continued to preach,

"Apart from the fact that the underground city has a lot of roads and rough roads, it is actually very suitable for the survival of our goblin family.

There are crypt fluorescent mushrooms that can be seen everywhere and emit colorful shimmer. Although this kind of food is unpalatable, it is nutritious enough, has water, and grows extremely fast. It can grow a large stubble in a few days. I often see many little goblins playing games in the cave, eating a few fluorescent mushrooms around them when they are hungry. "

"Really, listen to you, this dungeon is pretty good."

Chen Tao said thoughtfully.

Of course, what he said was right from the standpoint of the goblins.

In terms of human beings, the current crude dungeon is simply a large prison, and if you stay for a long time, you may have neurological problems.

Next, Chen Tao listened to Baqi tell some interesting stories about the dungeon, and then returned to the lord's mansion.

Yes, he was lazy. Detailed inspections of the territory are really not suitable for him, and the current territory is very prosperous in the eyes of goblins. In the eyes of Chen Tao, who is used to seeing modern cities, it is not much different from primitive tribes. There is really nothing to visit.

In the master bedroom of more than [-] square meters, there is a super big bed of four meters by four meters.

The big bed was covered with a thick layer of light red fluffy fur, which was the fur of the Tinder rabbit.

The fur of the velvet rabbit is not only warm, but also extremely comfortable and warm to the touch. Sleeping on this luxurious and high-end fur at night when the temperature drops is simply very comfortable.

At this time, on the big bed, Chen Tao, who had once again won the lord war, lay lazily on Princess Zi Nan's clean lap, with a relaxed expression.

"Azi."

"What's the matter, master?"

"You are so moist."

"."

Chen Tao felt that the skin that was in contact with Princess Zi Nan was getting hot and hot, and he knew that this girl was very shy now.

This life is really pleasant.

And in order to live this kind of life all the time, Chen Tao will never allow others to destroy it.

He is going to get stronger!
