98 Light Spear
Zhan Xiaobai asked Jianba to be responsible for the acquisition of raw materials this time, and asked Li Asan to provide blood medicine and weapons. Jianba sent dozens of confidants to a village within a radius of 30 miles to purchase raw materials. By the time they completed the deployment of the task, it was already very late.
This acquisition took several days to achieve results, and it was too urgent. That night, Yiqi Yuntian, the boss of the Yiqiu Gang, invited guests to greet the restaurant in the tavern. Zhan Xiaobai and several elders went there. He set up a table of side dishes and talked about his experiences in Wuwei. Zhan Xiaobai said that a player had learned the skills of a general, which surprised everyone. He even wanted to meet him for a while to see how powerful he was.
Gather together and nothing happened overnight.
The next day at dawn, Zhan Xiaobai got up early and planned to deal with a lot of matters left over the past two days. After leaving the wing room, Li A San happened to be in the courtyard and hurried up and said, "Lord, I haven't reported the village situation to you yet. I wonder if the lord is free now?"
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to find disabled veterans and carpenters now to see how to use the synthetic drawing of level 10 weapon. It's better to create a level 10 light spear earlier. Let's talk while walking."
Li A San said yes. They left the administrative courtyard and walked towards the craftsman area. Although it was still early, there were already many players in the village.
Li A San followed Zhan Xiaobai's side and reported: "There are two things I have to report: the first thing is the grain harvest and expenditure in February. At the end of February, our village collected 7,312 kilograms of grain, and the remaining 2,000 kilograms from the village were obtained. After deducting hundreds of kilograms of consumption, 500 kilograms were given to Mazhe, and 1,500 kilograms were given to Jiangjia Village. The remaining 7,000 kilograms of grain in our village, which is enough for the current villagers to eat in March, with a surplus of about 1,300 kilograms. However, once it is upgraded to a medium-sized village, if the population of villagers increases sharply to 500, I am afraid that the surplus grain cannot be dealt with at all. Moreover, the small river near my village has very limited output of small fat fish. Therefore, I suggest that after upgrading to a medium-sized village, do not immediately expand the recruitment of NPc villagers, and wait until the grain reserves in the village are more abundant, and it is not too late to recruit."
Zhan Xiaobai nodded, there was a headache for food problems. If the crop yield in farmland cannot increase, the population will be difficult to expand.
"I have my own opinions on this matter, so you can continue talking about it."
Li A San quickly continued: "The second thing is the tax, trade income and expenditure of our village, and various products of our village. Currently, there are four types of products in our village, medicine, wood, iron, and chicken and poultry breeding. Among them, wood, chicken and poultry are mainly produced and sold by themselves. +5HP medicine, iron weapons, wooden shield [+1 defense], the martial arts center is the pillar of foreign trade and can bring a large amount of fiscal revenue. The expenditure is mainly the wages of villagers' work and the expenses paid to players. The financial situation is good, and the copper coins reserves remain at around 4 jin, which is slowly increasing every day."
Li Asan explained all the trade balance data in detail.
After listening to it, Zhan Xiaobai said with satisfaction: "I did a good job. Thank you so much for this period of time. You have to assist me in handling village affairs and make medicine."
Li A San said happily: "With the lord as an example, he will lead by example. How dare I be lazy? The lord is a person with great ambitions. I will definitely assist the lord in managing village affairs well and lay the foundation for his future great cause."
Zhan Xiaobai shook his head and smiled. Great ambitions? Hehe, the ambition to fight for the supremacy of the Three Kingdoms is indeed quite great, but you still need to develop carefully and steadily, otherwise you will lose your goal if you take a wrong step.
Zhan Xiaobai took the old village chief to the carpenter's house and found the carpenter. Then he took the two of them to the martial arts hall and found the disabled veteran who was teaching the players basic swordsmanship. First, let the disabled veterans put the matter of teaching martial arts, and the four of them went to the yard where the blacksmith shop was located to study the matter of synthesis of weapon drawings at level 10.
Zhan Xiaobai handed the weapon drawings to the disabled veteran. The carpenter looked at it and asked, "Can this weapon be made?"
The disabled veteran took the weapon drawings like a treasure and took a closer look. The carpenter was also very surprised by the thing and hurriedly took it from the disabled veteran. The two got together to argue, and after a while, they decided to come up with a result.
The disabled veteran sighed and respectfully returned the drawing to Zhan Xiaobai, saying, "Lord, this is the first time that the carpenter and I have seen such drawings. I was originally a blacksmith and only knew how to make agricultural tools. Later, I learned to build a level 10 iron sword, a level 10 iron knife, and a level 20 iron spear in the military camp. These three weapons are unknown to the function of wooden tools. The carpenter also only knows some rough carpenter work. As for whether we can make synthetic weapons of iron and wood, we still need to try it out before we know. Please wait for the lord, and the carpenter and I will start work soon."
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll see how you make it here."
The disabled veteran and the carpenter hurriedly started work.
The disabled veteran took a piece of inferior iron ingot and burned it in the fire to create a two-foot-long light iron spearhead, flat and two-sided blades displayed on the drawings. The carpenter returned to the carpenter's shop to get the tools, and a long hardwood, which was processed into a one-three-meter-long spear handle displayed on the drawings.
Both jobs are relatively simple, and they do not pursue how well-made the manufacturing is, and only seek to succeed in the experiment, so they are completed without much effort. The disabled veteran uses cold water to cool the light spearhead.
Zhan Xiaobai personally picked up the spearhead and handle and wanted to put them together. But as soon as he let go, the two objects fell off. He thought for a moment and said to himself: "Can't the wood and iron tools be recognized by the system? Maybe only the manufacturer can combine them together, you two can give it a try."
The disabled veteran and carpenter tried it, but they still couldn't fit it together. They shook their heads ashamed.
Zhan Xiaobai couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? How to use the synthetic drawings of level 10 weapons?"
Li A San had been watching from the side for a long time and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord, as far as I know, this is probably because I can synthesize this weapon as a carpenter and a blacksmith at the same time."
Zhan Xiaobai asked: "Where can people who learn carpenters and blacksmith skills at the same time? Where can I find such talents?"
Li A San knew that he could play a big role again, and couldn't help but smile excitedly: "Master may have forgotten one thing. When the craftsman's skills reach high level, it is allowed to accept disciples. The veteran and the carpenter are now senior craftsmen. Therefore, it is easy to find a person who learns wood craftsmanship and iron craftsmanship at the same time. Each senior craftsman is allowed to accept three apprentices and teach them all their skills. Therefore, 3 to 6 new craftsmen can be added to our village. As for whether 3 or 6, it is of great importance at this time. I dare not make any decisions, so I ask the lord to decide."
Zhan Xiaobai was overwhelmed with surprise, "Okay! A San, you should immediately find 3 suitable NPc villagers, or find 5. Among them, 2 learn wood making, 2 learn iron making, and 1 learn both. This combination is the most appropriate way!"
Li A San happily went to find NPc villagers to become masters and apprentices. After a short while, he brought five young NPc villagers. "Lord, I found that these five people have the highest talent."
Zhan Xiaobai personally presided over a simple apprenticeship ceremony.
Five villagers kowtowed to the disabled veterans and carpenters to become disciples, and then their identities changed, and farmers officially became introductory carpenters and blacksmiths, and were taught all the skills of carpenters and blacksmiths. Of course, the skills were all introductory.
One of them is a carpenter and blacksmith.
Zhan Xiaobai handed him the drawings of the level 10 spear weapon and asked him to synthesize the weapons.
With a ding dong, the level 10 weapon drawings disappeared instantly.
The two items are combined, and a light long soldier weapon appears in the hands of the craftsman with a dual profession. The craftsman appears in the system prompt, "Get the light spear synthesis skill."
Light Spear: Level 10 characters can be used, +1 attack, +1 puncture. More than one zhang and three zhang, light infantry's medium-sized long-soldier weapon with both hands, weighing about 10 kilograms. The object of restraint: light cavalry. (Additional effect: +1 puncture attack weapon.)
