............................................................................
A slightly cruel reality dawned on Lu Hai Kong: while he possessed impressive martial arts and military command talents, his political and territorial development abilities were rather mediocre.
Fortunately, Lu Hai Kong was self-aware enough to recognize his shortcomings. After acknowledging his limitations in this aspect, he decisively handed over the authority for territorial development to Wang Fatzi, and dedicated himself to learning the methods of territory construction from Wang.
When Lu Hai Kong passed all the blueprints and the remaining 6,000 gold to Wang Fatzi, he never imagined what kind of territory Wang could build in just half a month.
In just half a month, the mountain village named 'Flame Yellow' by Lu Hai Kong, which initially had only four buildings, was transformed by Wang Fatzi into a small town.
After taking charge of territorial development, Wang Fatzi's first project was the Refugee Camp.
This Refugee Camp was fundamentally different from the one Lu Hai Kong had encountered before. The essence of Wang Fatzi's Refugee Camp was to increase the population and talent pool for the mountain village.
Refugee Camp (Level 5)
Description: A place where homeless refugees gather.
Effect: Refreshes 20 refugees daily (with a small chance of special talents appearing).
Recruitment Requirement: None
After establishing the Refugee Camp, Wang Fatzi began constructing the Logging Camp and Housing.
It was evident that Wang Fatzi's territorial development focused primarily on civil affairs. He seemed committed to creating his own logistics base, which was an unavoidable necessity.
After all, Lu Hai Kong was an outsider and an enemy of the world. Although he could raid and plunder for food, this method was unsustainable and unstable in the long term.
Therefore, for Lu Hai Kong to become stronger, he either needed to find an agent in the outside world to help open trade channels or, alternatively, it was better to first establish his own logistics. Even if he found an agent, having a stable logistics system could significantly contribute to calming the people's hearts.
Within half a month, Lu Hai Kong witnessed Wang Fatzi leading the refugees and the farmers from the Refugee Camp to cultivate nearly 300 acres of land in the basin, planting wheat and other crops.
With 300 acres of land and an estimated yield of around 300 pounds per acre, if all went well, Lu Hai Kong could harvest between 90,000 and 100,000 pounds of grain in two to three months. This number seemed impressive, but it was far from sufficient for Lu Hai Kong's mountain village, which already had a population approaching 500 and was continuously growing.
Fortunately, Wang Fatzi was also aware of this issue. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and achieving self-sufficiency from the start was just a dream. In the early stages of the village's development, its primary income still relied on Lu Hai Kong and his men.
Therefore, while working on production, Wang Fatzi didn't forget to remind Lu Hai Kong about military development. Today, after half a month, the territory already had over ten Arrow Towers surrounding the village's core, and Lu Hai Kong had recruited two hundred Bandit Archers with a Strength of 15 to bolster the village's defense.
With the initial defense system in place, Shanzei's defenses were somewhat established, albeit still vulnerable to a powerful strike.
However, with this defense, Lu Haikong could now focus his efforts elsewhere. He could accompany Wang Panzi and his men on their raids, robbing the rich to help the poor without worrying too much about the order within the Shanzei.
The past half-month had been fulfilling for Lu Haikong. Aside from learning about territory management from Wang Panzi, he also frequently raided other Shanzei and eliminated refugee camps.
Only after establishing Shanzei did Lu Haikong realize that its construction was far more costly than he had anticipated. If he hadn't been raiding other Shanzei, Wang Panzi's funds for construction would have run out long ago.
During his spare time between raids and learning about territory management, Lu Haikong didn't neglect his martial arts training.
After half a month of diligent practice and with the boost from the Assembly Hall, Lu Haikong successfully raised his Fundamental Inner Strength to the peak of level 19. Just one more point, and he would reach level 20, directly increasing his strength to 60 points.
In fact, if Lu Haikong had given up on Fundamental Inner Strength and switched to Blood Qi Decision earlier, he would have reached 60 strength long ago. However, he vaguely felt that reaching level 20 in Fundamental Inner Strength would bring unexpected benefits, and he could switch skills at any time, so there was no need to rush.
Aside from Fundamental Inner Strength, Lu Haikong also focused on another skill, Basic Fist Technique, which he had just reached level 15. This level increased his strength by nearly 3 points and significantly enhanced his combat power.
In the 1619th chapter, there is no mistake!
But the key point is not here. The focus is that after reaching level 15 in Basic Fist Technique, Lu Haikong can finally comprehend the wolf-type statue's body-tempering fist.
With Lu Haikong's talent, comprehending a fist technique is not difficult at all. It's almost just a formality.
Lu Haikong picked up the wolf-type statue, directly chose to comprehend it, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind. After a few dizzying minutes, Lu Haikong successfully comprehended a skill called Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist.
Although Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist has the word 'fist' in its name, it is categorized as an external skill, similar to Bull Power, for body tempering. Lu Haikong carefully studied and found that Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist's level is much higher than Bull Power, and its cultivation difficulty is also much greater.
Lu Haikong has been cultivating it for five days, but his Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist is still at level 0, not even reaching level 1. This situation is rare for Lu Haikong, except for 'Mountain-Opening Axe'.
Although cultivation is challenging, it also indirectly indicates the skill's power. But the greatest surprise Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist gave Lu Haikong is not its strength. The wolf-type statue is not a one-time-use item; it can be used repeatedly.
This surprised Lu Haikong greatly. What does this mean? It means that as long as Lu Haikong has the time and willingness to cultivate, he can even ensure that all his subordinates, including the Vassals, master Wild Wolf Body Tempering Fist. This would significantly enhance the strength of Lu Haikong's forces.
