Honorary Knight Taipal stood on the threshing floor of Village No. 3 with his two lieutenants.
More than 600 people from the entire collective farm have arrived. They are in good spirits, but their clothes are still in tatters and they look like they are not in high spirits. The fear in their bodies and the evasive eyes make Tapal immediately remember.
He recalled the farmers of the old days whom he had seen in some old documentaries, and the way they formed a sparse square formation here under the leadership of the militiamen sent from the Scarlet Fort made Taipa
I felt like a puppet army leader who came to the village to steal things.
He quickly shook his mind, cleared this unreliable imagination from his mind, and silently thought about serving the people to keep his mentality correct.
At this moment, Taipal himself was standing on a temporary wooden shelf built to welcome the arrival of the "village elder". He and the two lieutenants beside him looked around at the village in front of them that he would soon order as a "newbie village".
place.
There were no low thatched houses, haphazardly stacked timber, or livestock. On the contrary, what Taipal saw was a row of well-planned three-story "tube buildings" with the same appearance.
Those were the residential areas built for the collective farms by the work teams of the "Brotherhood of Stonemasons" under the Chosen Asher in the past period of time, and the plan of the entire village was personally drawn by Professor Chen, the honorary president of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons.
It is full of the neat beauty of a "new countryside".
Because Transian officials currently do not have enough manpower and material resources to paint the buildings, the square houses that have been built maintain the original appearance after the fossils were catalyzed by the mud spell, which is the cold gray color that the stone should have.
But on the contrary, because of this uniform color, the architectural style of the entire village tends to be conservative and unified.
Sure enough, Professor Chen is truly a rare talent in this field. Not only does he do his best under the existing environment, but he can even maintain a unified architectural aesthetic.
What's even more awesome is that Lao Chentou not only planned the residential area for the collective farm, but also planned the area for raising livestock and storing materials. Since it is a collective farm, raising livestock must also be allocated collectively.
.
Based on Taipal's "internship experience" in the past period, he knew that the current basic model of governance used by the Administrative Office to manage the territorial people is based on the three brothers who are the most popular in the game: a dump truck, a shovel, and a full-risk semitrailer.
Started on the basis of proposed "labor points".
Although this kind of work-point system will indeed cause many problems, Taipal also has to admit that in the current situation in Transia, this commune-like collective management method is definitely the most suitable.
none of them.
It can not only concentrate manpower and material resources with maximum efficiency, but also extend the village chief's management of the farm to the detail level. Through the daily summary of labor points, the current situation of the village can be clearly understood. This system can also make the farm more efficient.
Everyone in the system is under the management of the same system, and it is difficult for people who are disobedient and want to cause trouble secretly to find ways in this system.
Under the premise of the work-point system, the benefits gained from obedience are far greater than the gains gained from not following the rules, and for the people of Transia, they are already very satisfied with their current life.
They would not allow one or two "rats" to wantonly destroy the "grace" from Master Murphy and Lady Miriam. When they were still living in the forward camp outside the city, there had been more than one incident where a leader took the initiative to report to the administrative office.
Petty theft.
Obviously, the local residents have sharp eyes.
Although they are limited by culture and are dumb and cannot sing praises, they know which is better, the current life protected by order, or the chaotic social memory of the past under the rule of vampires.
All this makes Taipal, the new village chief, full of gratitude and respect for the senior administrative players. It is precisely because the three dump truck brothers have laid the foundation in the past that they, the latecomers, do not have to worry about
How to let the villagers know him and obey him.
"Report to the village chief! There are 657 people in Farm No. 5, and the actual number is 630, and 27 people have been sent to Scarlet Castle to apply for apprenticeships in the Masonic Brotherhood.
They will return in a week."
The militia captain in the farm, a somewhat thin but energetic young man wearing leather armor, a sword and shield, strode forward and loudly reported to Taipal.
Honorary Knight Taipal nodded and asked again:
"When I left the administrative office, Professor Malcolm told me that a group of blood servants will be demobilized in a few days, and some of them will be assigned to our farm. Are their houses ready?
?”
"Of course, Mr. Village Chief."
The young militia captain smiled and replied:
"The two 'grey buildings' on the edge were unoccupied before. The blood servants can live in them directly after they return, and some of their families are also here with us. You don't have to worry about this.
Most of them were locals before they set off to fight, and we can get along well with them.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Goldham Joan Portman, Mr. Village Chief, and my 30 brothers and I will be under your management from now on."
"Oh, I know you!"
Tapal smiled.
He lowered his voice and said:
"You are Commander Portman's nephew, right? Before I left Scarlet Castle, he specifically asked me to take care of you. I heard that Commander Portman applied for the position of 'Executive Knight' for you. Two months later,
The exam is coming soon, are you ready?"
This question made the young Captain Goldham look embarrassed, and he whispered with some embarrassment:
"The practical courses are definitely fine. I have also killed gnolls with you warriors, but the cultural courses are a bit troublesome. But it doesn't matter. Professor Malcolm has assigned teachers to travel to five farms to teach classes. I think I can handle it!
"
"very good."
Taipal nodded with satisfaction and promised:
"If our village develops well, I will write a letter of introduction for you."
This sentence made Captain Godham's eyes light up.
He knew that these "administrative warriors" who were directly assigned to the farms from the administrative office had the right to write letters of introduction to recommend talents to the administrative office. This was a reward from Governor Murphy to the warriors.
"The villagers are waiting for your speech, Mr. Village Chief."
Captain Goldem stepped aside, while Taipal looked at the more than 600 villagers of all ages and in front of him. He was a little nervous. After taking a few deep breaths, he stepped forward and said loudly:
"I am your village chief, my name is Taipal, from the Torrent Knights! My team will soon build a new city in the Under Armor Hills, and you will be able to see its rise with your own eyes.
I have set up Farm No. 3 as a supply place for the Torrent Knights, which means that anything you grow from the earth will be marketable!
But in addition to being the leader of the Knights, I am also your protector and leader!
My villagers, I am not here to extract money from you, I hope to lead you to a better life.
I know it is not easy to do this in Transia, but we have passed the most difficult moment, and I believe we will not stop at this stage.
Food and clothing is just the beginning! Wealth is the goal.
I am not good at talking, and I have no intention of using words to make you trust me. I believe you can see with your own eyes the development and prosperity I have brought to Farm No. 3.
By that time, I believe that you will sincerely recognize me as the village chief.
Then, I will announce that the first thing I will do after becoming the village chief is to change my name!"
Tapal's voice rose a few notches and he said:
"Starting today! Our farm will be renamed 'Novice Village'. Don't worry about the connotation of this name, because sooner or later, the entire Transia and even the entire continent will know our existence!"
"Papa pa pa"
Ma Lin, the arcane master next to Taipal, immediately applauded.
The crowd below was stunned for a moment, and then there was sparse applause, which was not enthusiastic. Most of the villagers still looked at this "village chief who descended from the sky" with a critical look.
Some people also sneered at Taipal.
Not only because he is too young, but also because this guy can't even speak the local dialect of Transia, and he can only use that weird psychic device to make everyone understand him.
Everyone knows that this guy is Lord Murphy's "warrior". The Governor's warriors are brave and fearless. Everyone present has seen their ferocious appearance when hunting down jackals. They have no doubt that Tapal is also one of these brave men.
A member of the gentry.
However, being good at fighting does not mean that you will be outstanding as a village chief.
What if he screws up
Hehe, Master Murphy will not let him go.
After all, no matter how benevolent a vampire is, he is still a vampire, right?
——
While Taipal announced his new plan impassionedly to his villagers, the welcome ceremony in Collective Farm No. 1 ended hastily.
As the village chief, he did a pretty good job. He just introduced himself to his subjects rather perfunctorily, and then announced that each of the villagers who arrived today would receive a "gift" from the new village chief, and they received it on the threshing floor.
A piece of relief food can be taken back as a snack.
Simple and crude method, but very effective!
The whole village became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the villagers who had benefited also praised their generous new village chief.
Of course, the young men's eyes would always stay on the four charming girls next to the new village chief, but the "nobility" exuded by those girls kept them away.
That is not a noble lady that they, the lower class, can have contact with.
After Lao Huo completed his first meeting with his villagers, he plunged into his village chief's mansion. It was actually a small courtyard. It was also designed by Professor Chen for administrative players. The place was not big but was well-kept.
.
After all, players also have to consider the comfort of their residence.
Lao Huo met the "messenger" from Farm No. 2 in his office. She was a sixteen-year-old girl who was the secretary of the village chief of "Pink Cat and Rabbit".
She brought a souvenir to the head of Maomaotu Village. Lao Huo nodded after reading the souvenir.
He said to the girl waiting for orders in front of him:
"You go back and tell Chief Maomaotu that my plan will be launched soon. He can wait and see first before making a decision whether to join. The location of your No. 2 Farm is very critical. It happens to be between Bataxin City and
In the middle of Scarlet Castle, with your help, my plan will go more smoothly.
As for the distribution of profits between the two farms, we can leave it to later. I believe that Village Chief Maomaotu can understand my difficulties."
"Okay, Village Chief Lao Huo."
The young NPC secretary nodded seriously and reminded:
"The village chief Cat, Cat and Rabbit has changed the name of Farm No. 2. Our village will be called 'Pride of the Lion King' from now on. The village chief Cat, Cat and Rabbit is working on establishing the logistics and postal lines for the Earl of Cadman.
He wants you and your friends to get involved, too."
"Ha, solicit sponsorship, right?"
Old Huo laughed and said:
"I knew that Brother Mao Mao Rabbit was hiding his secrets. He planned to enter the logistics industry and become the 'postmaster' of Transia. Such a keen vision is really amazing. Please go back and tell Mao Mao Rabbit that I
Will help him get sponsorship.
My good friend Xiao Fu Ge has nothing to spend his money on and suffers from fever all day long. I can’t just watch him waste the resources he has.
He may go to your farm to negotiate in the next few days, so please be prepared.
I mean, have your PPT ready to use to scam money.”
The messenger of the pink cat and rabbit village chief obviously couldn't understand what the old village chief Huo meant, but she knew that the warriors had their own way of communicating, so she kept the three words PPT in her heart, then said goodbye in a polite way and turned to leave.
As he watched the girl walk out the door, he noticed that the little girl had a very unique brooch on her collar, which should have been a gift from Lumina.
It means that this child was one of the children that Lumina Yanghen personally rescued from the ruins of Cadman City.
She has obviously grown from an orphan to the talent Transia needs in its current situation.
"This game fully displays the growth curve of NPCs before our eyes. I can't always tell whether they are a bunch of data or real people."
I sighed as my life was quite good.
He planned to take a rest and then make a plan, but not long after, a knock on the door woke him up.
"Please come in."
Lao Huo said something, and the next moment, Ms. Dorothy opened the door and walked in.
Seeing how she wrapped herself up like a rice dumpling, you knew that the leader of the Blood Rat Gang had flown here all the way under the sun. This uncomfortable journey for a vampire made Dorothy very angry, so she was naturally not polite.
.
She put her hands on her hips and asked directly:
"You said you have business to discuss with us?
To be honest, I don’t think you, a newly appointed village chief, have any good business, but my apprentice Yaya has repeatedly assured me that this is a business that can make a lot of money. I trust Yaya, and I know that taciturn little fool will not
Cheating me on something like this.
but you
I'm not familiar with you.
But I can smell some familiar smells from you, the same smells as those halfling factory owners and big businessmen in Port Shardeau."
Dorothy whispered:
"I don't want to deal with you. You will always throw a piece of bait to us who are not smart enough. When we are full of food, we will not be able to leave you."
"You are joking, Mrs. Dorothy, you are now the absolute master of the gray area of Scarlet Castle."
Lao Huo pretended.
He stood up from his chair and said with a smile on his face:
"I really only chose to cooperate with you based on my duty as a village chief who wants to see his village develop rapidly, and what we want to do is just a small test before a big operation to seize wealth.
We want to release a unique gambling tool, but I don’t have the resources at hand and I want the full support of the Bloodrats.”
"What do I get?"
Dorothy asked back, and Lao Huo shrugged and said:
"This product called 'Scratch Off' itself is a gift from me to you. All the profits you make after a successful attempt will be taken away by you. I promise that as long as you operate it well, you will not be stupid enough to kill this chicken that lays eggs."
Instead of eating meat, you and your brothers can make more money than you can spend in your lifetime.
All I need is your resources, nothing more.
This is also a ‘voucher of title’.
After you realize that my village and I can bring huge benefits to you and the whole of Transia, I believe that you and your subordinates will make a rational and correct judgment.
After all, no matter what means we use to make money, we will ultimately serve the cause of Transia as a whole and Mr. Murphy.
We are followers and servants, and there is no better loyalty we can offer to Transia than this."
These words made Dorothy hesitate.
She finally stared at the extremely sincere eyes of Xue Zhenghao. After thinking for several seconds, she said:
"How many people do you need? How long will it take for this project to be effective? Please understand, Mr. Village Chief, as a subordinate organization of the Shadow Intelligence Bureau, the Blood Rat Gang is responsible for raising funds for Madam Adele's secret operation.
If this job is not profitable, there is really no need for us to continue working together.
And if you choose to use deceptive means to bully us gray-area rats who don’t understand business, then you will offend more than just a small blood rat gang.
I believe you are all smart people, and I don’t need to remind you any more about the risks involved.
Therefore, I give you five minutes to rephrase your words before you decide whether to invite us."
"I am sure!"
Xingzheng was very good. He didn't hesitate at all. He waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Stop wasting time, let's start doing big things!"
