Volume 1 The Rule of Nothing Chapter 035 Finally Arrived
"Mr. Village Chief~~Mr. Village Chief~~" A burst of intermittent voices came from the direction where Wu Qi was staring.
"..." Wu Qi turned around and glanced at Wang Tian and Xiaobao. He saw that Wang Tian's face also looked a little strange. Could it be that he had found the Chinese Village? That was really lucky. Xiaobao's hard work was not in vain.
Got treatment in time.
Several figures emerged from the bushes, an old man who looked like a master, and two strong hunters. As if disturbed by something, Xiaobao's stiff hand finally slowly fell from the air, hanging feebly.
Side of the body, completely unconscious.
"Hua Xi, assistant to the villain village chief, these two are Orion A and Orion B in the village. They learned that the village chief was about to take office. They have been wandering around the area for the past few days to welcome the arrival of the adults. It is really good to see the adults now.
Come on!" As soon as the old man Hua Xi came, he started to sway non-stop. Wu Qi breathed a sigh of relief... As for Maomao, who is so smart, and has a spiritual connection with his master, he naturally judges whether he should carry out the previous instructions. At this time
He also put away the colored light and returned to the normal state. Hua Xi looked at the change of Maomao's color in surprise, his expression moved, as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, he did not speak.
The mountain breeze was blowing, and it was approaching midsummer. Wu Qi felt a sense of relief all over his body. At this time, Hua Xi led the way, and the two hunters naturally acted as temporary rescue team members under the order of the village chief, responsible for taking care of Xiaobao and Wang Tian. Wang
Under Wu Qi's arrangement, Tian also asked Orion B to carry him down the mountain. Looking at his tired appearance, he feared that he might not be able to hold on anymore when he arrived at the village.
"Mr. Village Chief, Zhonghua Village is bordered by the Black Wind Mountains to the southeast, the Huitian Peak Group to the southwest, and the flat plains from north to west. It has convenient geographical transportation and is located in the middle of the three cities of Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa. It has been there since ancient times.
It is a battleground for military strategists. The weather has been good over the years, and the resident population has remained at around 300 households, a slight increase from previous years. The annual tax rate has remained at around 10%, which can be considered a peaceful and contented life." Hua Xi introduced the situation of Zhonghua Village along the way.
It seemed lively. The two hunters were friendly and didn't say a word along the way. Wu Qi secretly tested their abilities and found that they were pretty good, basically reaching the level of thieves blocking the way.
Hearing the sound of snoring next to him, Wu Qi turned around and saw that it was Wang Tian who was overtired and fell asleep involuntarily on the back of Orion B. Wu Qi smiled slightly and felt
I'm glad, after all, I feel sorry for them.
After passing through a native jungle and reaching a green hillside, Hua Xi stopped, pointed to a small group of houses in the distance below, turned to Wu Qi and said, "Mr. Village Chief, below is the Chinese Village! It takes about half a
Hour!"
Wu Qi looked with his hands behind his back, letting the mountain wind blow his clothes violently. He saw that going down the hillside, he had to pass through a plain. About ten kilometers away was the Chinese Village. From a distance, there was a southwest road outside the small village.
Walking towards the winding river, it flows into a lake, and then continues to the southwest. There are still some willow trees scattered around the village. Wu Qi nodded secretly in his heart. It is indeed a good place. Not only is the location good, but it is beyond his expectation.
The environment also looks elegant, and it can't help but feel like a paradise.
"Village Chief, please look here. This is the famous Zangqiu Mountain, which belongs to the Black Wind Mountains. Bandits often appear there!" Hua Xi pointed at the top of a mountain a hundred miles southeast of the village and said to Wu Qi.
"The mountain we are on is called Shanxia Mountain, and it belongs to the Huitian Peak Group. From time to time, monsters come out to hunt! But it's strange today. I didn't see any monsters along the way. Well, I don't know what happened!" Hua Xi
It was a bit strange to say that, but he quickly glanced at Maomao floating in the air.
"Yeah, I got it! What are the names of this river and that lake, and what is the name of the plain below?" Wu Qi didn't say anything, just let him be weird and show off his prestige as the village chief.
"Reporting to the village chief, this river is called Linguang River. Every day when the sun sets, the sparkling waves are really beautiful. This lake is shaped like a full moon, and people in the village call it Jinghu Lake! Legend has it that there are water monsters that appear and harm fishermen.
, but I have never seen it in the past ten years or so. Legends are just legends after all, they cannot be true, haha!" Hua Xi mentioned a few allusions by the way.
"Oh, come on, come on! My brother is still in a coma. By the way, is there anyone in the village who knows how to heal and revive him?" Wu Qi suddenly remembered that he couldn't wait too long, otherwise it would be uncomfortable waiting for Xiaobao to wake up naturally, so he hurriedly urged him to leave.
Hua Xi quickly greeted the two hunters and hurriedly led the way to the village.
"Because there are often bandits and monsters around, the strong young men in the village spontaneously formed a village joint defense team. Now there are about twenty people, all of whom are Orion origins and are agile. Orion A and B are the best among them. In the past two days, in order to find
Mr. Village Chief, I specially called these two, otherwise this old guy might not be able to see Mr. Village Chief." Hua Xi said as he ran, not out of breath at all. Wu Qi was secretly surprised and couldn't help but curiously test it.
After looking at Huaxi's ability value, good guy, it actually has 3000. Isn't that the same level as the three village masters? No wonder the village can be preserved in such a dangerous place. I can't help but yearn for my own territory, and I wish I could get wings.
Flying in soon.
"Back to the village chief's question, there is a doctor in the village named Li Fu. When he was young, he used to work outside the home and learned good medical skills. Later, he somehow returned to the village and settled down. He also opened a Huichun Medical Clinic. What a wonderful person.
What a good man, he doesn't charge anyone in the village who is even slightly poorer. Don't worry, village chief, he will definitely heal your friend's injury, so don't worry! Haha~~ Let's go, let's go." Hua Xi introduced it by the way while running, thinking
I wanted to turn around and urge the two hunters again.
From a distance, the palm-sized village gradually grew larger as it got closer. Huaxi was running at the head, waving his hands and shouting, "Village people please pay attention, villagers please pay attention, the village chief is here!" Wu Qi was secretly amused, and seemed to be doing some tricks.
He had to have some style. As he got closer, he discovered that there were more than twenty burly young men with various weapons in their hands, who were heading towards the village entrance with vigilance. When they saw Hua Xi, they seemed to relax and put down the weapons in their hands.
"You haven't saluted the village chief yet!" Hua Xi shouted loudly at these young people and the villagers who came to watch after hearing the sound. He turned his head and whispered a few words to Orion A and B. Orion A and B nodded.
Xiaobao and Wang Tian hurriedly walked towards a hut in the village...
"Hello, village chief!" "Hello, village chief!" "Hello, sir!"...A flurry of greetings came from these simple villagers. Wu Qi couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded. He waved and faced the NPCs in the game.
The reaction was amazing.
Hua Xi took Wu Qi with him to inspect Zhonghua Village. After Wu Qi learned that Hua Xi had arranged for Li Fu to treat Xiaobao and Wang Tian, he relaxed and began to inspect his territory. Zhonghua Village is about three square kilometers, with one south and one north.
Stone roads run through the entire village, and villagers' houses are scattered on both sides of the street. According to Hua Xi, there is only a medical clinic opened by Li Fu and no other industries. The villagers make a living by hunting and fishing, and sometimes exchange needed supplies with other villages.
, sometimes wandering merchants come over and sell miscellaneous things, and sometimes weapons are sold. The weapons in the hands of the villagers' joint defense team are basically bought from wandering merchants.
"The village chief now understands the general situation in the village. Let's go to the meeting hall to take a rest!" After Hua Xi finished speaking, he led Wu Qi to a taller and wider stone building in the north of the village.
As soon as you enter the meeting hall, you will see a spacious hall with several chairs neatly arranged in the middle and on both sides. The sign hanging on the door on the right clearly reads "Village Chief's Office". There are two doors on the left, which seem to be divided into two rooms, one
The sign above reads "Office of the Deputy Village Chief" and the other reads "Office of the Assistant Village Chief".
"..." Wu Qi almost burst out laughing in his heart. Who set up this pattern? It's so funny. He was said to be well-behaved, but he was not in line with the rules. He was said to be unruly. It seemed that he was not only concise and orderly. However, there was a deputy villager.
If there is a mayor’s office, then there must be a deputy village chief? What does the deputy village chief do and where is he?
"Come on, Mr. Village Chief, please take a seat. I believe Mr. Village Chief already has a general understanding of our Chinese Village. So how should we manage and develop the Chinese Village? I have to explain this to you!" Hua Xi pointed to the meeting hall.
The big chair in the middle signaled Wu Qi to sit down, and finally came to the most critical issue. As soon as Wu Qi sat down, he couldn't help but pricked his ears when he heard this, this is what he wanted. The official website did not introduce it,
I only have a vague concept of this aspect, and I have no idea of how it will develop in the future. Now that Hua Xi has mentioned it, it seems that the most critical person in the operation of the territory is the assistant to the village chief, which is the NPC Hua Xi.
Already.
"Well, then just tell me, the more detailed the better!" Wu Qi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and signaled Hua Xi to start.
"Ahem!" Hua Xi cleared his throat! You're still pretending... you don't have to be so realistic, Wu Qi cursed secretly.
"The general manager of the Pangu City Palace, Longhua Continent, allows the lord to freely manage the territory. First, the village allows the lord to appoint a player as the deputy village chief, who is fully responsible for village management and operation, and responds to emergencies." Hua Xi explained! Wu Qi listened.
Enjoy it with relish.
"Second, set the tax rate freely. Of course, the minimum cannot be less than 10%, because 10% has to be turned over to the palace, and the lord has no tax income. For example, if the tax rate is set at 15%, then the lord can collect tax revenue from various businesses operated by other players.
The farming store charges 15% of the profit, 5% of which belongs to the lord. Of course, too high a tax rate will seriously affect the production and life of the villagers, causing the villagers to flee or rebel, which is not conducive to the further upgrading of the village! Please be careful before raising the tax rate.
Consider it." Wu Qi groaned, hearing that one of the conditions for upgrading the village is an increase in the population of villagers.
"Third, the lord can freely set the conditions for opening a store. For example, if you set the requirement to pay 1,000 gold coins to operate a store, then if a player wants to open any store on the territory, he must pay 1,000 gold coins, and the village's income will also increase by 1,000 gold coins accordingly.
But the total income of the village must also pay 10% tax to the palace." Double taxation? This palace, no, it is a game company, it is really cruel...
As soon as Hua Xi started talking, he couldn't stop and kept talking... Wu Qi became more and more frightened as he listened. He seemed to be breaking more and more rules. His brothers originally wanted to dig a gold mine, but they jumped instead.
