"Where are the farmers? Say it quickly!"

Li A San hurriedly said, "Beside the jade in the yard, please go and have a look!"

Zhan Xiaobai quickly put down the big plan at hand and ran to the yard with A Fei and the young man Chunqiu to see the late arrival of the farmer.

Sure enough, there was a simple-dressed farmer standing in the middle of the yard, carrying a large wooden frame behind his back, as if he was carrying some tools. He was looking around, and then kept shaking his head "tsk" and looking very disappointed.

Zhan Xiaobai was secretly surprised that this farmer was not much the same as the farmers he had seen before. Ordinary farmers were carrying hoes. He resisted his psychological questions and went up to ask politely: "Would you like to be a villager in this village?"

The simple farmer shook his head and said, "This place is too simple, there is not even a decent utensil. It is not suitable for me to live and stay." He said that and was about to leave.

Zhan Xiaobai was stunned for the first time when he saw a farmer who would refuse on his own initiative.

"Oh, wait!"

Li A San kept calling him and limped up: "Please wait a moment, so why not let our village chief talk to you about the specific conditions. As long as you stay, all the conditions are easy to say."

The simple-dressed farmer stopped hesitantly after hearing this and asked, "What discount conditions can you provide?"

Li A San said directly: "I will make the decision on behalf of the village chief and provide you with a separate thatched hut to live in."

The farmer in simple clothes thought about it and shook his head: "This condition is OK, but it is not enough. It is sparsely populated here and it is not suitable for me to work. I'd better go to other villages."

Li A San was anxious and wanted to offer other preferential conditions.

Zhan Xiaobai quickly pulled Li A San aside and asked him: "Why is this farmer so angry? It's not enough to provide a hut alone? Is he a NPc with a name like you?"

Li A San glanced back at the simple farmer and whispered to Zhan Xiaobai: "Lord, no, although this person has no name, he cannot be neglected. This is a skilled farmer. It is rare these days."

A skilled farmer = a craftsman, Zhan Xiaobai knew this truth very well. No wonder Li A San tried his best to keep him.

After Zhan Xiaobai figured it out, he smiled and said to the simple farmer: "Let's do this, you can make your own conditions, what kind of discount will you be willing to stay?"

After thinking about it, the simple farmer said for a long time: "All my taxes will be reduced for three months."

"Okay, deal!"

Zhan Xiaobai didn't wait for him to speak all the conditions and blocked his words in one mouthful. The current tax on the small village is 5%, and this little money has no effect on him at all. A craftsman has a much larger role.

The farmer was stunned for a while - the transaction had been established, but his other conditions had not been expressed. In the end, he had to stay and become the second NPc villager in Xiaobai Village. The carpenter alone needed to occupy a thatched hut (10 people). At present, there were no sufficient living conditions to accommodate other farmers and could no longer recruit other NPcs.

The simple farmer started working and sorted out his toolbox. Only then did Zhan Xiaobai realize that he was a carpenter. To be precise, he was a junior carpenter apprentice and could only make some very basic wooden tools. The box was full of tools for making wooden tools.

Zhan Xiaobai, A Fei, the young man from Chunqiu, the carpenter, and four of them lit torches and built a wooden thatched hut overnight. Even the old village chief Li A San was helping. The construction was not completed until midnight.

"Damn, I'm so tired. Boss, remember to pay me a salary in the future!"

A Fei paved the last piece of straw on the roof and shouted breathlessly.

"Okay, keep it in the account. If you have money, you will get your salary."

Zhan Xiaobai laughed loudly, touched the hay stuck to his face, and got off the ladder. He was so tired today. However, he got two special NPcs in a row and four player helpers. This is a good sign! As long as the development momentum of the village is guaranteed, there is absolutely no problem to win the side. The only thing he is worried about now is whether he can survive the early construction level.

The carpenter's housing was solved.

Not long after, a farmer carrying a hoe appeared next to the jade in the administrative hall. The farmer looked around and, tempted by the village chief Zhan Xiaobai's small preferential conditions, he took the initiative to stay in the village and became the third NPc villager in the village.

Zhan Xiaobai asked him to build a thatched hut with the carpenter, increase the number of thatched hut housing, and attract more farmers to come and live.

Unable to stand the sleepiness, Zhan Xiaobai and the others fell asleep in the administrative lobby. Three hours later, Zhan Xiaobai woke up. It was only the first day of the public beta, and he had adjusted to his best condition and was not sleepy at all.

Zhan Xiaobai did not disturb A Fei and Chunqiu Young Hero who were sleeping on the wooden pillow, and came to the yard alone.

Li A San was commanding the carpenter and two farmers to build the hut. Two thatched huts have been built, and the foundation pillars of the third building are being built. NPc farmers' work efficiency is almost twice as high as players.

Zhan Xiaobai was in a great mood. Hehe, there was another farmer in his small village in less than three hours, and the construction progress will be much faster.

When Li A San saw Zhan Xiaobai, he hurried over and said hello: "Lord, we now have two farmers and one carpenter. The construction of the village has become regular. I believe that it won't take long to come to our village to live. However,"

Zhan Xiaobaiqi said: "But what?"

Li A San said worriedly: "They build huts to work for the village, so you need to pay them wages. 10 copper coins per person a day."

Zhan Xiaobai has been thinking about how to build a small village, but almost forgot about the fact that there is a salary. Construction requires financial and material support, otherwise it will not be carried out at all. He hurriedly asked: "How much do we have now?"

Li A San took out an abacus and said, "The village comes with materials and funds for starting up: 100 wood, 100 stone, 500 kilograms of grain, and 500 copper coins. (It's pitiful). Each thatched hut consumes 10 wood, and in addition, 3 wood is needed to make four small villages' wooden doors, and now there are 61 wood left. Each farmer consumes 1 kilogram of grain every day, and now there are 496 kilograms left. The farmers and workers need to pay a salary of 2 copper coins in one day. After deducting 6, there are 494 copper coins left. If we don't have an income, we will soon fall into a state of shortage of funds, causing the morale of residents to decline, and even leave the village. Please make it clear."

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked after hearing these data. He didn't need to calculate, and he knew that this little bit of grain and wood would last for only 10 days.

He walked around the yard and thought mentally. The current situation of the village is extremely short of supplies. Once the supplies are short, the village that has been built will face the danger of collapse. At present, it should focus on storing food, wood and other materials, and then have the ability to increase the number of farmers and support more residents of the village. Otherwise, there will be too many residents and they will run out of food in a moment.

After thinking about it, he immediately said: "After the construction of the third hut is completed, the construction of the hut will be stopped immediately. In addition, let all farmers reclaim fertile land, so that we do not need to consume our reserve copper coins and increase our food."

Li A San hurriedly said: "After building three thatched huts, we will recruit up to 24 farmers. I suggest that they be divided into three groups. One group will reclaim fertile fields, one group will build logging farms, and one group will make utensils in craftsmen's houses. These three can bring income."

Zhan Xiaobai quickly asked Li A San to stop. Li A San was too long-winded and had to tell him clearly everything in detail. This was not good.

"You are the deputy village chief, just divide the labor directly. Now you are talking about our most important job?"

Li A San immediately said: "The most important thing is to build a carpenter's house (it takes 20 wood). Without a carpenter's house, the carpenter lacks many tools and is inefficient in work. Others also lack tools. The second is to reclaim farmland. It must be reclaimed in the first five days of the month, and the grain can only be collected at the end of the month. If the time is missed, the grain cannot be collected. (Care grain every month) and the third is a logging farm, which requires 20 wood. In this way, we can get the wood continuously."

Zhan Xiaobai immediately said: "Okay, the construction of thatched huts will be suspended and the construction of carpenters will be started immediately. It is dawn now, and it should be possible to build carpenters at noon and reclaim in the afternoon. As for the construction of a logging farm, there is not enough manpower now, so I don't need to pay attention to it for the time being. Wait until five days later, I will do it. I will choose the most important thing first."
