Chapter 1509

However, transferring population like this now would be seen as population loss by the system, and it would also affect the rating.

But since it would affect the rating either way, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, converting slaves into residents, and then converting them into slaves a second time, would lower their obedience and raise their hatred value.

Better to just shuffle people around like this.

But as for the final rating of Taoyuan Village, don't even think about it...

No choice, there has to be trade-offs.

Agriculture, industry, commerce, wealth, military — none of them are anything to look at.

The values of the first three are basically generated by the stockpile products.

Zhao Chi deliberately stockpiled some extra inventory, wanting to see if this could pull the final rating up a bit more.

But it probably won't work.

Right now Taoyuan Village's development isn't much different from an ordinary newbie lord's territory — maybe a little better, but only marginally.

Wealth is basically provided by the fashion items, and military is provided by the female soldiers left behind in Taoyuan Village.

That's that, then.

Let's go straight to the rating.

【Taoyuan Village Monthly Rating】:

【Happiness】S+

【Security】S+

【Development】F-

【Overall Rating】D-

No way around it.

Although Development values various industries, it values population even more.

This time the population suffered severe losses, earning the lowest F- rating.

It's only natural.

After all, in the system's eyes, if all your people are dead, what's the use of high industry values?

However, under normal circumstances, if the population suffers severe losses, Happiness would definitely not be high either.

But Zhao Chi's situation is fake, after all.

So the female villagers left behind still feel both happy and safe.

Unfortunately, even though these two ratings are at S+ level, they can't pull up the Development disadvantage too much.

After all, too many people are missing.

It seems this F- rating is the lowest it can go; if there were an even lower grade, Taoyuan Village's Development would definitely keep dropping.

Getting a D- rating is already not bad.

【Congratulations, your territory "Taoyuan Village" has received a monthly rating of D- this month, and you may perform one reward draw. The prize pool is the Village-level D- pool, with prizes ranging from a minimum of F grade to a maximum of D- grade. Do you wish to start the draw?】

I'll draw later.

Village-level rewards were already the worst to begin with, and now the highest reward is only D- grade — Zhao Chi isn't looking forward to it at all.

Let's go straight to the second one.

Zhao Chi chose Yunmeng Village.

Yunmeng Village's population was likewise transferred away by Zhao Chi.

Moreover, Yunmeng Village had only just begun to develop, so there wasn't much to begin with, and now there's even less worth looking at.

Zhao Chi went straight to the rating.

【Yunmeng Village Monthly Rating】:

【Happiness】A+

【Security】A

【Development】F-

【Overall Rating】E-

This rating — unexpectedly, no reward was obtained at all.

It's not because the rating score is too low, but because there are too many territories.

【Sorry, your territory "Yunmeng Village" is the fourth territory, and is not eligible to participate in the draw. You may set the territory ranking in the system settings, which will take effect from next month】

Perfect!

Yunmeng Village's population was likewise transferred away by Zhao Chi, and the residents there were Wei Yu's fishing team and Zhou Ting's shipbuilding team — all new villagers.

Although their loyalty and such are decent, they've only just arrived not long ago, so Happiness and Security still need to be improved.

So Yunmeng Village's rating is even lower than Taoyuan Village's.

Not participating in the draw doesn't matter.

Next up is Penglai Town.

Truly worthy of Penglai Town.

Zhao Chi transferred out the population at the lower limit of 1000 people.

This way, at the very least, there are 2 more than last month…

Although Popularity and Public Order haven't reached a full 100, they're already extremely high.

Don't demand perfection.

After all, with a large population, occasional conflicts are ultimately inevitable.

Fortunately, they're all in great spirits, so any conflicts can be resolved quickly.

Otherwise, in an environment made up entirely of women…

As for agriculture.

It's nearly 20,000 points higher than last month, enough to sustain close to 83,000 people.

The main reason is that the 300 young Feathered Cattle have grown up. Although 150 of the female Feathered Cattle haven't calved yet, based on the data, their subsequent milk yield and calving numbers can be projected.

Thus, with the projected large quantities of milk and beef, the agricultural rating ultimately reached nearly 83,000.

This is already on par with a large county.

Industry itself hasn't really improved.

But Industry still increased by nearly 700 points. This is because Zhao Chi wrote down his insights this month, which increased the output value generated by 160 senior craftsmen.

Commerce, on the other hand, increased a lot, now having reached 4,600 points.

Commerce is more about the tertiary industry and high-margin trades.

For example, fashion, ultra-bright fire oil, massage, inns, food and beverage, song and dance, and so on.

Zhao Chi can currently be said to have barely developed it at all.
