However, one million gold coins was not a big number for Yang Rui now. Yang Rui's private money in the game had reached more than eighty million gold coins. In addition to the money in the treasury, it was more than a hundred million gold coins!
The accumulation of more than ten million gold coins in the treasury was mostly due to the implementation of the field system and the resource exchange system. A large amount of food and other resources had brought Yang Rui a considerable amount of income. : …/
This was only the amount of money in the treasury of the prefectures. While accumulating so much wealth, the prefectures and counties had also accumulated a large amount of money. When Yang Rui came up with the system, he had taken the initiative of the prefectures and counties into consideration, so the share was relatively high.
The hundreds of thousands of gold coins that Yang Rui took out later were used to aid the poor areas. Most of them were invested in the newly acquired areas of Yan Province. Yang Rui had not been in control of these areas for long, so most of the effective systems had not been implemented yet. Compared to Green Province, it was much more difficult.
Through the successful experience of Green Province, Yang Rui did not feel distressed about such expenses. After the enthusiasm of the prefectures and counties was mobilized, the advantages of the field system, the resource exchange system, and the military subsidy system would quickly become apparent. When the time came, there would be ample resources everywhere, and the income would far exceed the funds that Yang Rui had allocated.
It was similar to the saying that a small river would dry up when there was no water. When the prefectures and counties had money in their pockets, it would be a great boost to Yang Rui's management. It would also be easier for Yang Rui to carry out some government orders and measures.
The most obvious example of this was the recruitment of prefectures and counties. In the beginning, Yang Rui was the one who paid for the recruitment of local soldiers. Later, when the economic foundation of the prefectures and counties improved, the relevant recruitment costs no longer needed to come from Yang Rui's pocket.
Speaking of the military situation, Yang Rui currently had over 4.8 million soldiers at his disposal. This did not include the low-grade soldiers who were still in training. The number of soldiers below Fourth Grade was close to one million.
Close to one-fifth of the military force was paid for by the prefectures and counties. Close to half of the soldiers were stationed in the prefectures and counties to maintain daily law and order.
The cost of nearly a million local soldiers was not low. The prefectures and counties had spent a lot of money to pay for it. However, without exception, all of them were very happy because the various policies brought them greater benefits. Moreover, the local soldiers of the counties and counties were also protecting their own safety in the background of an era where wars were frequent. The prefectures and counties were very willing to cooperate.
In comparison, when Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he only had two or three million soldiers. Currently, Yang Rui's military force had almost doubled, and he was second to none among the current feudal lords!
To be able to have such a large number of soldiers, the function of the Penglai Secret Realm to train soldiers played a very important role. In particular, after Bocai and the other yellow turban generals had submitted to Yang Rui, the three of them could not unleash their full power in the outside world. As such, they were responsible for training soldiers in Penglai and guarding the Shrimp Land. Naturally, the speed of training soldiers was not slow.
Yang Rui had plenty of soldiers at his disposal. It was just that he did not have enough generals. However, he still had fourteen or fifteen of them. Moreover, most of them were very powerful. It was no longer a problem for them to protect the Green and Yan Provinces.
Yang Rui did not make any large-scale movements in terms of military deployment. Linzi City, Pingyuan City, Puyang City, and Changyi City were still the focus of the defense. Sun Qian was in charge of Linzi City, Du Yang, Ju Shou, Han Fu, and Han Hao were in charge of Pingyuan City, Liu Ba and Wu Anguo were in charge of Puyang City, and Chen Lin and Zhang Liao were in charge of Changyi City.
The large number of troops in Juancheng County retreated to Changyi City. Xu You, who was originally in Dashan City, suddenly moved to Fenggao City, the administrative center of Taishan County. He assigned General Guan Hai and 100,000 soldiers to be in charge of the defense of Taishan County.
In terms of military strength, he also mobilized the navy. At this moment, Yang Rui had more than seventy ships in his hands. Among them, there were eighteen turreted ships. There were twenty-six warships and thirty-two warships. Yang Rui gave half of them to Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, ordering them to guard the north and south waterways.
Taishi Ci was responsible for the defense of the Yellow River and Ji River in the north. Gan Ning, on the other hand, was responsible for the defense of the Green and Yan Provinces. He was responsible for the defense of the Green and Yan Provinces.
In this period of time, the Sishui River and Wenshui River were directly connected to the Eastern Sea Region. At this point, the first water defense blueprint that Yang Rui had previously constructed had been realized, especially the Gan Ning Navy in the Sishui River and Wenshui River Basin. They had even encircled part of Xu Province within their defense circle.
With Xuzhou Prefecture Magistrate Tao Qian's personality and current situation, he probably wouldn't care about Yang Rui's navy. He might even take the initiative to form a relationship with Yang Rui. After all, the threat of Cao Cao hadn't been removed. At the crucial moment, Yang Rui's navy might be able to help.
Other than the generals stationed in various places, the others such as Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong didn't need to be stationed in a fixed location. They would listen to Yang Rui's specific arrangements.
The remaining three Yellow Turban Generals, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, and Bu Ji, were still in charge of training soldiers in the Penglai Region and defending the Shrimp Barren Land.
"System Notification: Slavic Civilization Region Peter has joined the bidding for the ownership of a large auction house in this region. The current price is 1.1 million gold. The bidding time remaining is 10 hours, 35 minutes, and 20 seconds. All players in this civilization region can participate in the bidding. Players who enter other civilizations regions as exchanges will not be able to participate.
… "
After Linzi City's reward was completed, Yang Rui's banquet with the generals was also about to end. A server-wide system notification came at this moment. The bidding for the large auction house that had appeared in this system update was actually already in progress.
Since the system's large auction house accepted both real money and game currency, the owner could control the exchange of a certain amount of game currency and real money. Thus, Yang Rui had already intended to take it down.
At that time, Yang Rui wouldn't have to go through the trouble of exchanging real money. He wouldn't have to worry about his identity being exposed like the Black Bear Community. When the time came, he could just casually get a SIM card and transfer cash without anyone knowing.
The benefits of the large auction house were far more than that. At least for Yang Rui, he could take out a large number of soul-type weapons to auction and not have to go through the trouble of finding game trading platforms.
