() In the administrative hall of Novice Village, Village Chief Qian looked at the map of Novice Village with a melancholy look on his face.
The surge in aliens has also brought countless benefits to Novice Village.
The task of collecting food and grass released yesterday has already reached the standard of upgrading from a large novice village to an NPC town today.
But this powerful force also worries Village Chief Qian, who is worried that if it is not controlled well, it will suffer backlash.
However, in addition to this long-term concern, he also has a near-term concern, which is how to transport the money and food to upgrade the Novice Village.
To upgrade a novice village, you need to pay a certain amount of money and food to the NPC county under its jurisdiction, and the county will then notify the court.
However, the mountain forest in the north of the village is the only way to reach the county seat under its jurisdiction, Wuwei County. There are only fifty militiamen in the village, but hundreds of bandits gather on the mountain.
Although the level of the bandits is not high and their individual combat capabilities are extremely poor, it would be difficult for the militiamen to hold them back if they swarm them.
Because the fifty militiamen have no commander and cannot form a unified command and dispatch, even if their combat power is several times that of the bandits, they still cannot stop the bandits.
Originally there were many officials, big and small, in the village, but in order to save money, food and salary, Village Chief Qian Ru took on most of those positions, including militia chief, chief and even corps commander.
Because of this, Village Chief Qian could not leave the village and command the militiamen to fight.
Because once he leaves, there will be no one in the village to handle official duties, which will stop the operation of various systems in the entire village, leading to the collapse of the village.
He knew the details of most of the villagers in the village, but it seemed that none of them had the ability to command soldiers.
As for the aliens, they can only use them. He is not confident that they can control the most powerful power in his hands.
As for selecting a village chief from the militia, Village Chief Qian has not thought about it, but the militiamen are all passionate young people, impulsive and warlike, and have no previous commanding experience and do not understand the way of marching. Let them be the commander.
, not to mention that the chance of defeating the bandits is not more than 50%.
Even if they can barely resist, they will strain their muscles and bones. This is what Village Chief Qian least wants to see. He has spent a lot of money to train the village militiamen. Losing one of them will make him extremely heartbroken.
But the matter of upgrading the large novice village to an NPC town is imminent. The so-called aliens' foresight is actually not far away. He can see that the abilities of these aliens are improving extremely quickly, and the aliens are quite restless.
of.
There is a substantial difference between Xinshou Village and a small town. The village chief of Xinshou Village is appointed by the town, but at the town level, the chief executive is appointed by the court.
Even if the aliens looted a novice village, nothing major would happen. At most, the rebellion value would increase by some insignificant amount.
But if you attack the town, you will be regarded as a traitor and rebel. Killing the town NPC or plundering the town property will increase the crime value, and you will be hunted by the imperial army. The stranger will definitely not dare to mess around, and he will be safe.
.
Therefore, how to safely transport money and food across the bandit's territory in the north of the village is not only a matter of his future, but also a matter of life safety.
"Village Chief, villager Qin Xiaobai is outside asking for a meeting." At this time, a guard ran outside the administrative hall and informed Village Chief Qian.
"That newly acquired young man? Oh, let him report to the accounting office, register, learn about various taxes, and receive grain seeds, so he doesn't have to come to see me."
Village Chief Qian was worried, racking his brains to think about the problem of transporting money and grain. He had no time to pay attention to these small things, so he waved his hand and asked the guard to go down.
"But the village chief...the villager named Qin Xiaobai said that he has something important to report and is extremely anxious, and it is related to the future of Xinshou Village..." The guard hesitated, remembering that Qin Xiaobai's eager expression did not seem to be fake, but
Hesitantly reported to Village Chief Qian, his exact words.
"What was he wearing when he came? How did he look?" After hearing this, Village Chief Qian suddenly raised his head and asked eagerly.
"Still... I was still wearing the same coarse linen clothes when I first entered the village. There seemed to be a look of worry between my eyebrows." Village Chief Qian's question made the guard confused, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Oh, that's good." Qian Village breathed a long sigh of relief. He thought Qin Xiaobai had collected enough money to pay off the debt within 24 hours, and then wanted to blackmail him by leaving his village's household registration, but now it depends on the situation
, probably not.
"But... the strange thing is that he came in the most luxurious and luxurious four-horse carriage in the village." The guard thought about it carefully, and then said.
"Pfft..." The guard spoke so hesitantly that Village Chief Qian almost spat out a mouthful of old wine and shouted quickly: "Invite my folks in quickly."
At the same time, he thought quickly in his mind: "The front line is uncertain, and there is a fire in the backyard. Is God going to kill me? If not, I have to find a way, um, to appease him, to appease him greatly. I have to keep him until he can be upgraded to a small town."
After Qin Xiaobai received the notification, he quickly walked into the administrative hall. The group of players who gathered at the village gate just now was about a few hundred people. The players with the prefix "Fire" accounted for about a hundred people. The rest of the players didn't know whether they were onlookers or came to help.
.
Faced with players who might attack at any time and attract wind wolves to block the door, Qin Xiaobai felt more and more pressed for time.
However, as soon as he entered the administrative hall, he saw old man Qian rushing towards him.
"Oh, folks, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. The village chief just went to see the folks, but unexpectedly the folks came by themselves. Come on, please take a seat."
Qin Xiaobai was stunned by Village Chief Qian's inexplicable enthusiasm. He was pulled to the seat by Village Chief Qian, and then he realized what he was doing and said hurriedly: "Village Chief Qian..."
"The folks want to talk about my debt issue. Hahaha, that's all a joke. How can the folks take it seriously? Hahaha..." Village Chief Qian smiled very stiffly, a bit like a facial muscle cramp...
For a tough guy like him, who has nothing to earn but nothing to earn, losing forty-seven cents in one go is enough to make him tired...
"Village Chief Qian..." Qin Xiaobai's thoughts were running at high speed, but they were still full of things about the wind wolves blocking the village gate, so he still couldn't turn around.
"Hehehe... Folks, all the benefits in our village are quite generous, especially for new villagers. There are two sets of houses, oh no, three sets, and the location is yours to choose, folks."
"And within one year, all taxes in the village will be halved... Folks, don't look at me with such big eyes. In fact, what I mean is, tax exemption, tax exemption for three years... Hahaha."
Village Chief Qian no longer seems to be smiling, but more like crying, because his heart is bleeding...
But I kept comforting myself in my heart, it's just the real estate, the whole village is mine, it's okay, it's okay. It's just tax exemption, how much tax can a young man collect, it's okay, it's okay...
"This..., here comes the village chief." Qin Xiaobai is a fool if he can't turn around at this point.
After being taught in the village that nothing could be done without money, Qin Xiaobai naturally agreed and agreed.
It can also be regarded as the little interest recovered when I was bullied by old man Qian at the village gate.
Seeing the "smiling face" of Village Chief Qian that looked like a kid to death, Qin Xiaobai felt much more comfortable.
"But Village Chief Qian, I have two purposes for this trip. One has been solved just now, and the other needs Village Chief Qian's approval." After he finished feeling comfortable, Qin Xiaobai brought the topic down to business.
"You..." Seeing that Qin Xiaobai still had demands, Village Chief Qian almost flipped the table over on the spot. After a long while, he finally held back and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Two wind wolves outside the main gate of the village blocked the door, preventing people from entering or exiting. Someone among the strangers organized hundreds of people to drive away the wind wolves. But the village chief, your old residence is here, and you should know that once the wind wolves are blocked, they will summon the wolves
A group of strangers will be defeated. Although the wind wolves are not human and cannot invade the novice village with solid wooden walls, they are extremely vindictive, so they will definitely block the village gate. If they try to get out, the price will be high.
Already."
Qin Xiaobai knew that Village Chief Qian loved money, and the village militia was also a type of property, and judging from the difficulty of upgrading NPCs, each militia was quite expensive.
So he thought that if he said this, Old Man Qian would definitely be anxious and agree to what he proposed later.
"Yes." Village Chief Qian said with a noncommittal expression of gratitude. His current thoughts were entirely on transporting money and food. To transport food, you only need to go through the mountains and forests in the north of the village, and there is no need to go through the village gate.
If it can be upgraded to a small town and it takes a few months to train the militiamen into town soldiers, then the mere wind wolves will have nothing to fear. It will just be a bunch of experience points from activities.
Qin Xiaobai saw that Village Chief Qian was unmoved and did not give up. His thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and he said again: "If these two wind wolves can be driven away, the village will definitely prosper."
"Daxing? What's the explanation?" Village Chief Qian was intrigued by the word Qin Xiaobai.
Qin Xiaobai patiently and quickly explained to Qian Zun, the virtuous cycle, expelling the wind wolf, players go out to kill monsters, get a large amount of materials, sell them to shops, and at the same time purchase the needed materials from the shops. There are both taxes in the village and
A large amount of materials can be obtained to speed up the construction, more shops will be added, players will be more diligent in killing monsters, the village will be built faster, and there will be more shops... This cycle will continue, and the village will prosper and the wealth will be rolling in.
He also told Village Chief Qian that if he did the same, Qin Xiaobai was willing to personally lead the militia to drive away the wind wolves, and promised not to attract the wind wolves and not hurt any militiamen.
Village Chief Qian was deceived by the beautiful blueprint created by Qin Xiaobai, but he still maintained a sense of clarity in his heart, knowing that strangers are a double-edged sword, and they might play with fire.
What really concerned him was that Qin Xiaobai said that letting him lead the militia would ensure that he could drive away the storm without being harmed. You must know that he was worried about finding a commander. Qin Xiaobai's words touched his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a very long troop deployment order and asked Qin Xiaobai to select twenty militiamen from the village barracks to drive away the wind wolf unscathed. If he couldn't do it, what could he do?
Talked.
Qin Xiaobai accepted the order and took the order. Twenty militiamen were enough for him.
