Chapter 545: The Meritorious Office Reborn From the Ashes

"Fuck, this road is too difficult!"

A combat player staggered and almost tripped over a stone. Fortunately, the partner next to him was quick to help, otherwise he would definitely fall to hell.

"Don't complain, the official road is easy to walk, but do you dare to go? Don't forget that we are in Goguryeo!"

The person who looked like the leader looked at the player with a cold face, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

The player suddenly smiled, not daring to talk nonsense. Obviously the prestige of this leader is still very high.

"Brother, do you think this mission is reliable? Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, we haven't received such a cost-effective mission?"

The leader also had a hint of hesitation when he heard the words, but he didn't show it in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Instead, he said very firmly: "It should be no problem. Although Shang Ji doesn't communicate with ordinary players, it is said that he has a very good reputation. He hosted the release mission, it is impossible to lie!"

"Don't think about those useless things, let's first consider whether we can complete the task!"

A very rare female combat player snorted coldly, glanced at the questioning player and said: "Two thousand Pingzhou meritorious deeds, one human-level top-grade cheat book, two pieces of Ziyao-level equipment of random categories, the rewards are good, But is this reward so easy to get? You thought that Anhu City was your home, and you were just allowed to go in and investigate casually!"

"Okay, Humei, don't say a word, the third child is just worried, if the Pingzhou army reneges on the debt, our small arms and legs will be really ineffective every day, after all, we... Alas! "

The leader suddenly let out a long sigh as he spoke, his expression a bit lonely.

The team members next to them also fell silent, and for a while, they could only hear the sound of weapons cutting down vines to clear the road.

"What do you think we are drawing? Don't talk about exhaustion, and you have to worry about it. If you accidentally die once, half a year of hard work is gone. I used to live a happy life, but after becoming a combat player You don’t even dare to add intestines to instant noodles, what do you think we are trying to do!”

"What do you mean, I haven't bought cosmetics for several months, and I've been sweating profusely with you stinky men all day long. No matter what you say, I can be considered a natural beauty. Is it worth going into a ravine with you?"

Not to mention, this female player called Tiger Girl is really not bragging. Although she is a bit embarrassed now, she is tall and has a healthy wheat yellow complexion, although her mouth is always an old lady. But her face looks soft, and the most important thing is that she has a very good figure!

The leather armor on her chest seemed likely to burst at any moment, coupled with her long legs, she looked like a fitness goddess.

Seeing that the daily complaint mode has started again in the team, the leader of the team smiled wryly: "Okay, okay, this is the last stroke. If it doesn't work, we will disband and go back to each family to find their mothers!"

"Okay, okay, talking is not considered a grandson!"

"Hello grandson!"

"Wang Changhe, I will kill you!"

………………………

Listening to the words repeated countless times, the leader felt a little bitter in his heart. No one knows how long this kind of gritting teeth can last, and more importantly, no one can guarantee that their persistence will be meaningful!

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has been controlled by Dong Zhuo, and the meritorious deeds in various places basically exist in name only. Players can still obtain meritorious service, but the rate at which meritorious points have shrunk has caught up with the gold coupons obtained in 1949.

In the past, a little meritorious service could be exchanged for one gold, but now it cannot even be exchanged for one silver. High-level equipment, skills, exercises, elixirs, or cheats for special units, etc., which are relatively cost-effective, have long been exchanged.

The lack of exchange items would be uniformly dispatched by the imperial court, but this had become a paper article before Dong Zhuo came to power, and it was completely abolished after Dong Zhuo came to power.

If it weren't for the original things in the meritorious service department being supervised by the system master, it is estimated that Dong Zhuo would have emptied the meritorious service department directly.

Of course, the Pingzhou Merit Office is no exception. Many players who originally relied on merit for a living have been hit hard!

But not long ago, Zhang Xin, the former head of the Xiangping Meritorious Service Department, suddenly found Shang Ji.

Counting it, Zhang Xin is also an old friend of Shang Ji, and he took care of Shang Ji at the beginning.

Zhang Xin asked Shang Ji to inject capital into the meritorious service department to revitalize the meritorious service system in Pingzhou!

Originally, Shang Ji didn’t intend to agree to such a thankless thing, but Zhang Xin’s condition moved Shang Ji—he could directly modify some settings of the Merit Department, for example, change the original Merit Department to It is the Pingzhou Merit Office, and its service scope is limited to Pingzhou. You can issue tasks based on Shangji's opinions, and the specific reward standards are also formulated by Shangji!

Shang Ji was very keen to discover the value of it, and summoned Xun Yu, Deng Yan, Chen Guan, Xi Zhicai and other top literati overnight to discuss the "acquisition" of the meritorious service.

There is no need to say much about the value of meritorious deeds, simply being able to record meritorious deeds in detail is attractive enough once. Shang Ji was born in the Qin Dynasty, and there have been too many incidents of going to war or even turning against each other for the ownership of a head. This situation is not easy to handle even for military judges. After all, there is no camera or recording, and no one can make a reliable judgment based on one-sided words. Generally, in this situation, the two will each be beaten up, and then their heads will be confiscated!

Moreover, it often happens that fighter planes are delayed in order to compete for the first rank, which is very detrimental to the unity and stability of the army.

But where there are meritorious deeds, it is different. The soldiers only need to kill the enemy with peace of mind. They don't have to worry about their superiors swallowing up their achievements, and they don't need to worry about their colleagues robbing their achievements.

In addition, if you can control the meritorious service, then the player problem that has been a headache for Shang Ji will also be solved. It is entirely possible to rely on the missions issued by the meritorious service to guide the players to use this huge power for their own use!

However, "purchasing" the meritorious service is not that simple. The salaries of officials at all levels in the meritorious service and the maintenance of various facilities are as high as 10 million gold a year!

Zhang Xin is a real person. He said that ten million is ten million. This number has no water at all, and even the bargaining link is avoided. This is only the price of meritorious services in Pingzhou, and 100 million a year in the whole country is not enough!

In addition, this is only the cost of maintaining the operation of the Merit Department. If Shang Ji wants to release various tasks, he has to inject corresponding task rewards. Shang Ji is responsible for all this.

Of course, the amount of rewards for the task can be determined at will, even if the price of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is priced at a copper coin, it is also a problem, as long as you are not afraid of being laughed at by others!

If you want to attract others to work hard, it is of course impossible not to give a suitable price! However, the price is too high and merchants can't afford it, and it may even lead to a fiscal deficit, which will seriously lead to a sharp depreciation of the merit value, and take the old path of the original meritorious service.

In order to formulate a new standard of meritorious service, Shang Ji joined forces with Deng Yan, Xun Yu and other top literati, and also recruited leaders in various industries such as Gongshuchi, Nonghe, Lugui, etc., combined with the opinions of officials from the Merit Department such as Zhang Xin, With reference to some of the original Dahan Empire merit exchange prices, the Pingzhou merit exchange rules have been formulated!

Generally speaking, one point of Pingzhou meritorious service can be exchanged for one gold. And killing an ordinary third-tier soldier can get a little merit point, which is not much different from the original merit point exchange rules.

However, the scope of this enemy army needs to be designated by Shang Ji himself. For example, at present, the enemy army of Pingzhou forces is only Goguryeo, not even Xianbei.

If you go to the grassland to kill the Xianbei people, there is no way to get Pingzhou meritorious service points!

The most important point is that this merit point is open to the entire Pingzhou population, whether it is aboriginals or players. Taking Pingzhou soldiers as an example, there will be different meritorious rewards for killing the enemy, ascending first, capturing the flag, beheading the general, breaking the rear, and pioneering. After the war, soldiers can receive rewards or be promoted to official positions based on their meritorious merit.

People who are not in the Pingzhou military and political system can only exchange their merit points for property rewards.

Special units such as scouts, medical soldiers, giant shield soldiers, and mechanical soldiers make corresponding adjustments according to their duties. For example, medical soldiers rely on rescuing comrades to obtain merit points, and the main source of scout merit points is to detect enemy movements.

For senior generals, another set of rules follows.

Taking Liu Yi as an example, he led 700,000 troops to go to Goguryeo. Suppose he wiped out 1 million troops of the opponent in the field, and he lost 200,000 in battle.

The total number of merit points for annihilating the enemy's value minus the total number of merit points for the value of one's own soldiers lost in battle, and then multiplied by 0.2 is the merit point that Liu Yi can obtain as a commander. The enemy troops he personally killed are calculated separately.

If a general is too incompetent and his own battle damage exceeds that of the enemy, he will be punished even if the enemy is completely wiped out.

In addition, there are different adjustment plans for siege, ambush, rescue of friendly troops, and defending the city, but the general principles are the same as above.

Breaking through a city, if the loss of one's own troops is too large, it will not only be useless but also detrimental. Of course, when Shang Ji set the standard, he had fully considered the difficulty of siege, and the standard he set was not harsh.

Of course, meritorious service is not only for military use, it is also effective for civilian tasks.

For example, Liu's alchemy needs some kind of precious medicinal material, but Shang Ji can't find it for a while, so he can put a quest in the meritorious service and let the player groups help find it.

Or a farm boy who develops a new high-yield crop, a master of alchemy who creates a new alchemy formula, etc. will also be awarded corresponding merits according to specific values.

In short, after a lot of tossing, Shang Ji spent 10 million gold to acquire the right to use the Pingzhou Merit Office for one year, and then filled it with 50 million gold as an initial exchange fund, allocating a large amount of equipment, skills, Items such as skills, elixirs, wonders, blueprints, etc. are used as rewards.

Almost all of the 100 million gold labor fee for helping Yanhuang send the space ring went to the meritorious service.

In fact, as long as Pingzhou has it, except for strategic equipment such as communication stones, Shang Ji has almost added all of his property to the exchange list.

The new Pingzhou Merit Office officially opened on the same day that Liu Yi's army launched!

The rebirth of the Pingzhou Meritorious Service caused an uproar among the player community, and countless players flocked to Pingzhou to find suitable tasks.

In line with the principle of attracting customers with great rewards, the mission rewards at the beginning were generally 10 to 20% higher than normal, and the combat players who had run out of food for a long time immediately went crazy, rushing to take the mission.

And what is the task with the most lucrative rewards at present? Of course, it is a task related to the Goguryeo War!

Destroy the enemy's logistics, explore the enemy's military branch, assassinate the enemy's high-ranking officials, etc. There are rich rewards! Humei and the others are a team led by the task of investigating the Anhu City military branch.

Once successfully completed, the team immediately turned around and became the middle class among combat players.
