There were five auctions, and the one with the fastest results was the homeless people.
The first place bid was as high as 400 farmers, while the second place bid was only 300.
The dust has basically settled.
"These fans are really willing to go out of their way. Four hundred farmers can wipe out a small camp even if they use the human wave tactics. Is that so?" Tang Jing was puzzled.
As everyone knows, the brothers play tough guys in movies and TV dramas, but in reality they are silver pewter gun heads.
Where do you dare to lead your troops on an expedition?
An army of refugees without organization and command is simply a mess.
How is it possible to destroy the wild camp?
Tang Jing ignored it and happily accepted the four hundred refugees and made a huge profit.
The gold coins also came out.
The first place bid was as high as two hundred gold coins, which was far beyond Tang Jing's expectations. It is said that some fans even borrowed money from relatives and friends in order to raise money for his brother.
It is also difficult for Sister Li.
I received 100,000 catties of berries and 10,000 sheets of leather, and the prices quoted were very generous.
It can be seen that the fighting power of fans is really awesome!
In order to collect supplies in the shortest time, fans not only crowdfunded on their own, but also took the initiative to spend money to shop for goods in the market, and by the way, the lords of Zunlong Kingdom also took a sip of the soup.
Tang Jing is of course the biggest winner.
The only piece of iron ore that failed to be auctioned was the iron ore. Because the bid was too low, Tang Jing simply withdrew from the auction and sold the second-grade crystal core that failed to be auctioned to the top bidder who paid 300 yuan.
Three hundred is a lot, and Tang Jing wouldn't mind it.
He could easily attract 700 people to the territory, but no one else could.
It's a pity that opportunities like today don't come around every day.
This time it is also a special situation. We are stuck at the threshold of promotion to the village, and we happen to encounter competition on the ranking list. When my brothers' territory is promoted to the village, there will be people around them who can vote for them.
The desire for crystal nuclei is not that strong.
No one is stupid!
………
"Sir, this, this, this..."
Seeing the lord conjure up so many people and supplies at once, even Mr. Wu, who was as calm as he was, was shocked.
"Ahem, can you make arrangements?" Tang Jing felt a little guilty.
"With the current number of residential buildings in the territory, it would be a bit overwhelming to fill the whole yard, let alone the house." Mr. Wu had a rare headache.
The population explosion is also a worry.
"Then urgently organize a group of people to build residential houses by ourselves." Tang Jing proposed a solution.
The territory now has no shortage of craftsmen or building materials, and there are ready-made examples of residential buildings. There is no need to wait for "automatic construction", but can also be built simultaneously.
"That's all it can do."
Mr. Wu nodded, "Sir, please don't continue to increase the population in the near future. Take it slow for a while."
"good!"
Tang Jing agreed wholeheartedly.
"With this population of 500, the scale of carpentry workshops, clothing workshops, etc. can be larger than previously expected. There is no problem in placing two to three hundred people in each workshop." Mr. Wu supplemented with a smile.
The number of carpenters, tailors, and blacksmiths hired previously was originally beyond expectations.
Just in time to expand the scale.
Fortunately, Mr. Wu had already considered subsequent expansion when making construction plans.
Otherwise, you will be in a hurry again.
"By the way, sir, what about recruiting internal affairs talents?" Mr. Wu asked.
"Ahem, this is already being done."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Tang Jing's face, he really had no confidence.
………
After bidding farewell to Mr. Wu, Tang Jing went to the weapons workshop under construction, found the dwarf Bage and his son who were busy, and asked with concern: "Has the craftsmanship of the God Arm Crossbow been thoroughly studied?"
But he wanted the weapons workshop to replicate the skill of the God Arm Crossbow and produce it on its own.
Honor store is too expensive!
"We have mastered the craftsmanship of crossbows and can produce them ourselves. They are the key parts of the crossbow. There are still some processes that we have not fully understood." Dwarf Bag reported.
The dwarves pride themselves on their achievements in the field of forging, but they are also full of admiration for the divine arm crossbows from the east.
The father and son have been obsessed with each other these past two days.
"With this, will it be helpful to your research?" Tang Jing smiled and took out the "Fuzi Crossbow Manufacturing Technical Manual" he just obtained and handed it to Bag.
"Bed crossbow?"
Bug curiously took the manual and couldn't help but admire it.
"Okay, great!"
"Sir, the bed crossbow and the divine arm crossbow are similar in terms of craftsmanship. With the bed son crossbow's technical manual as a reference, combined with the actual divine arm crossbow, it should be possible to imitate it soon." Bage's confidence increased greatly.
He couldn't wait for the weapons workshop to be built.
"That's good!"
Tang Jing was also very happy, "The bed crossbow is also a good thing, and we must hurry up and arrange for its construction."
"clear!"
Bage did not forget to remind: "But sir, we also need to step up a large reserve of iron ore."
Without pig iron, nothing can be done.
………
"Iron ore..."
Tang Jing was stumped for a moment. He couldn't buy it, and there were no iron mines around the territory.
What can I do?
The Hammer Tribe where the dwarf Olin belongs does have ready-made pig iron for purchase, but the Hammer Tribe is located deep in the mountains, and transportation of pig iron is inconvenient, so it is more convenient to purchase it in the market.
I was having a headache when I suddenly received a private message.
"Boss Tang, there happens to be a large-scale open-pit iron mine next to my territory. Are you interested in cooperating?"
"How to cooperate?"
As expected, Tang Jing suddenly became interested.
“It’s easy!”
"You will send one hundred refugees to mine iron ore, and the mined iron ore will be divided into 50 and 50 shares. Then arrange at least ten soldiers to guard the safety of the iron ore."
"Well, in order to show your sincerity, you'd better give me a level 2 crystal core."
The other lion opened his mouth wide.
Tang Jing was also laughed out of anger, "That is to say, without doing anything, you can get a hundred refugees + ten warriors + a level 2 crystal core, and you can also get half of the iron ore?"
"But the mine is mine. This is fair, isn't it?" Tan Liang was quite proud.
I thought I had a good grasp of Tang Jing's shortcomings.
"hehe!"
Tang Jing, however, was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person and blocked him directly.
A white wolf with empty gloves?
However, Tan Liang's proposal reminded Tang Jing how to obtain iron ore.
Immediately speak on the national channel——
"Who has a large-scale open-pit iron mine? Looking for a sincere long-term partner. If interested, we can chat privately."
Soon I received thousands of private messages.
Tang Jing patiently checked each letter and was surprised to find that there was Pei Ye inside.
past few days.
Pei Ye was very persistent in sending a rabbit every day.
I also successfully added friends.
"You shouldn't be short of people for mining, right?" Tang Jing asked.
"No shortage."
"Then how can we cooperate?"
"What kind of weapons and equipment do you want to build with so much iron ore?" Pei Ye asked without answering.
"yes."
Tang Jing didn't hide it either, "My territory can make divine arm crossbows and bed crossbows."
"Then exchange the divine arm crossbow for iron ore."
Pei Ye's calm eyes suddenly shot out a bright light.
As a professional soldier, without thermal weapons, his advantages in "Star Bound" are actually greatly weakened, leaving only fighting skills and combat consciousness.
There is a great lack of a handy weapon.
And long-range attack weapons like the Divine Arm Crossbow are very suitable for them.
In reality, military crossbows are also used.
Pei Ye just wanted to help Tang Jing, but he didn't expect a surprise.
"I'm afraid not. In the early stage, Chang'an Village didn't have enough space to sell it to outsiders." Tang Jing said truthfully.
"..."
Pei Ye's expression was stagnant. He probably rarely gets rejected.
"But I can send you a divine arm crossbow."
Tang Jing changed the topic, "If you have a real object as a reference, you should be able to find someone to copy it, right?"
There are many talented players among the players.
It would be difficult for Tang Jing to find a few experts in Zunlong Kingdom who knew how to reproduce ancient cold weapons, but for a being like Pei Ye, it should not be difficult.
"Okay, but what's the price?" Pei Ye asked.
"You bid!"
Tang Jing is not stupid. No matter how valuable the divine arm crossbow is, it is still a one-time deal.
Iron ore has not yet been found.
"I heard that you are recruiting people, I will give you two as gifts."
"good!"
Tang Jing agreed without thinking. The talents recommended by Pei Ye were definitely not bad.
The deal is done.
"What about the iron ore cooperation?" Tang Jing asked.
It’s not that he’s ignorant, it’s that even if he finds other potential collaborators, if both parties don’t have enough trust, it’s very likely that the miners sent will be directly hacked.
At that time, the bamboo basket was empty.
"Star Bound" does not have any institution to restrict the performance of the contract, and it relies entirely on credibility.
Compared to other lords, Pei Ye is obviously more trustworthy.
"Send someone here, and you can collect as much as you can within three months."
The implication.
Three months later, the miners sent by Tang Jing were owned by Pei Ye and used to offset the iron ore.
"good!"
Tang Jing also agreed and immediately sent Pei Ye a hundred strong men and 20,000 kilograms of rations.
