[Announcement from Xueyin Village: The construction of the mining field has begun, but temporarily no recruitment! ]
After writing the announcement on the bulletin board, Shangguan Qi held a small meeting in the village chief's hut.
Also, because Sisha went to the mine to supervise the construction of the mining farm, only Shangguan Qi, Jiang Yu, Li Xue and Li Feng attended this meeting.
"Cough! Several people, this time I mainly want to solve some of the current problems in Xueyin Village."
In the village chief's hut, Shangguan Qi coughed twice and said, "First of all, it's about some issues in the village's military affairs... Everyone knows that after tomorrow morning, the protection mechanism of Xueyin Village will disappear, and my minimap will also disappear. It can no longer be used, and we will face the looting and intrusion of the surrounding bandits for a long time..."
"Band thief?" Jiang Yu asked, "They will also take the initiative to leave the cottage to attack us?"
"That's right." Shangguan Qi explained, "The bandits near the player's village will take the initiative to attack, and this probability is not small, usually related to the food and grass reserves in their cottage."
The thieves in "Magic" will not work to produce food and grass by themselves, so once the food and grass in the cottage is exhausted, they will obtain food and grass by looting the surrounding villages.
"I've thought about two methods for this, anti-looting and defensive countermeasures."
Shangguan Qi looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Anti-looting means that tonight, while the small map is still there, we will pull out all the cottage strongholds around Xueyin Village without leaving any space, and directly clean up all future troubles!"
The reason why Shangguan Qi dared to do this is first of all because of the existence of Jiang Yu's powerful combat power, Xueyin Village can easily defeat any cottage below the medium-sized cottage!
Secondly, she had already observed it specially when the village was built. Near Xueyin Village were almost all small and small cottages, the largest being a medium-sized cottage, and it would not take much effort to clear it up.
"As for defensive countermeasures, it is to build a city wall."
Shangguan Qi took out the "Wooden Wall Construction Blueprint" seized from the small cottage last time, and said, "It is easy and simple to build a city wall to resist the invasion of those bandits, and this wooden city wall is also relatively easy to build. , it might be a little annoying then..."
"I think it's better to fight against looting." Jiang Yu said, "Rather than building a city wall and being beaten passively, it's better to kill them all tonight, and at the same time, you can loot a sum of supplies."
He likes this method of fighting for war the most, not only knocking down the enemy, but also strengthening himself.
"What about you?" Shangguan Qi turned to look at Li Xue and Li Feng.
"No problem." Li Xue and Li Feng nodded at the same time. In military matters, Shangguan Qi and Jiang Yu are usually in charge. They only need to execute at the end.
"That's good, since that's the case... Let's talk about the second question. This is also the most urgent problem of Xueyin Village at present, food and grass!"
Shangguan Qi frowned and said slowly, "So far we still have 1,414 units of grain reserves, which sounds like a lot, but after all the 82 bandits are transferred, our daily grain consumption will rise to 489.5 units. These 1414 units can only support for three days at most! If you don't quickly find a way to fill this big hole, the people's hearts of Xueyin Village will be dissipated after three days!"
The so-called people take food as the sky, and food and grass has always been a big problem in all dynasties and dynasties. The so-called prosperous times actually means that a large part of the people can eat enough.
In "Magic", there are currently two main ways for players to obtain food and grass, playing cottages and buying directly.
Needless to say, playing the cottage is simple, rude and direct. It is a method that many players like, but it is not enough!
Even if they looted all the cottages around Xueyin Village tonight, it would not be enough for Xueyin Village to last this month.
As for buying direct, that doesn't work anymore!
The food and grass trade in Xiabian County has always been secretly controlled by the imperial court and the aristocratic family. Due to the massive purchases by players, the last time Li Xue went to buy supplies, the price of food and grass had risen from 1 copper 1 unit to 3 copper 1 unit. !
Today is the second day after the player builds the village. At this speed, it is hard to imagine how much the price will soar in the end!
This method did not work from the beginning!
"What about hunting? Can the meat obtained from hunting be used as a substitute for food and grass?" Li Xue suddenly spoke up to break the silence.
"Hunting? This is fine." Shangguan Qi replied, "Meat can indeed replace food and grass, but..."
Shangguan Qi looked at Jiang Yu and said helplessly, "Jiang Yu seems to be the only one in our village who has hunting skills, right?"
Chevalier players can learn hunting skills in the initial hunter village, but not all knight players can find that hunter village, and not all knight players can trigger the learning of this skill after finding it, such as Four fools.
"That...cough!" Jiang Yu coughed twice, looked at Shangguan Qi and said, "Actually, I think we can bring all the residents of Hunter Village here..."
"Hunter Village?" Shangguan Qi blinked. As a lord player, she didn't know the existence of Hunter Village. Li Xue and Li Feng also turned to look at Jiang Yu.
"Uh... The Hunter Village is equivalent to a novice village for chivalrous players. Almost every villager in it has hunting skills. If we can pull them into Xueyin Village, it can greatly alleviate our food crisis. Of course I don't know if it will work..."
"So there is this thing..."
After listening to Jiang Yu's explanation, Shangguan Qi's big eyes shone with light, "Where is this hunter village? I'll try to convince them later!"
"Just near the place where you hit my head with your butt when we first met..." Jiang Yu rolled his eyes and said, this incident was still fresh in his memory.
Li Xue: "..."
Li Feng: "Hey hey hey!"
"Cough cough!" Shangguan Qi's face flushed slightly, and he coughed twice, "Well, let's discuss the last issue, the village's funding issue."
"Let's settle it first, I still have 35 gold and 70 silver village funds in my hand. Similarly, it is the same as food and grass. It sounds like a lot, but if you don't pay attention, it will be used up... And what needs to be raised is, Our village doesn't have any source of income yet." Shangguan Qi waved his hand helplessly and said that Xueyin Village does not yet have the ability to collect taxes.
Whether the player's village can collect taxes depends on Nuwa's determination of whether the villagers in the village have the ability to earn money, and whether there is an industrial chain in the village...
When the village has both of these things, Nuwa will give the village chief the authority to collect taxes.
"Of course, don't worry too much, I have already thought about this matter!" Shangguan Qi compared her hands with scissors, looked at Li Xue and Li Feng and said again, "You must know the best player doctor in Xiabian County. And the player blacksmith is here with us!"
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"I want to invite two more apprentices in the village to teach the craftsmanship, and use your leading edge in craftsmanship to earn income by exporting goods to the county!"
Li Xue and Li Feng are the only doctors and blacksmiths in Xiabian County who have passed the assessment once. They have medicinal pill formulas or weapon blueprints that other life players have not yet mastered. If they can make some of them into simple ones. If it is manufactured and sold in large quantities, it will indeed become a major source of income for Xueyin Village!
It must be said here that, in order to prevent life players from being suppressed by NPCs in the early stage, Nu Wa sets the price of commodities of the same value, and the prices of NPCs will be higher, so as to give life players some room for survival.
"I have no problem!" Li Feng patted his chest and replied, "Anyway, the mining farm will be built soon, so I can just practice my hands."
"Me too." Li Xue replied, "But Shangguan, you want to build a medicine garden for me to grow herbs."
"OK!"
Seeing that both of them agreed, Shangguan Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, I will discuss the details of this matter when I come back... After the meeting, I will immediately go to the Hunter Village to convince the villagers that whether it is successful or not, I will definitely come back tomorrow morning.
During the time I am away, I will hand over the authority of the village chief to Jiang Yu, and I will also leave him a fund of 10 gold in case he is not prepared; in addition, the task of suppressing bandits tonight must also Trouble Jiang Yu..."
"Well, no problem." Jiang Yu replied with a smile.
"Right! One more thing!"
Shangguan Qi seemed to have remembered something, glared at Jiang Yu and said, "You only need to clear up those tiny cottages, that medium-sized cottage must not be touched! It is absolutely - right - can't - go! I don't want to come back. I'll collect the corpse for you! Do you know?"
"Uh...I know, definitely..." Looking at Shangguan Qi with a fierce face, Jiang Yu nodded hurriedly, he wouldn't be the kind of person who seeks death...
"Li Xue Li Feng, you two must help me keep an eye on him!"
"Hey hey~ Okay!" Li Feng showed his signature smile again.
Li Xue nodded lightly.
"Okay, now the meeting is over, we'll see you tomorrow!"
