247-248 Xiaobai Town, Military Map

On October 28, thousands of riders from Xiaobai Village welcomed Zhan Xiaobai, walked up the river and returned to Xiaobai Village.

The first thing everyone arrived at was Wutong Village, which had changed a lot. A stone wall that lasted several miles long was established outside the village, which shows that Wutong Village was already a large village. Outside were large areas of excellent grass, groups of oxen, horses, and players.

Several gravel-paved roads connect Xiaobai Village, Hubao Village and other directions. This gravel road can save 10% of the time for the first horse and carriages. On the road, there are many gravel horses and carriages going to Wutong Village, and the trade is already very prosperous.

Wutong invited Zhan Xiaobai to go into the village and sit down.

Zhan Xiaobai entered the village to watch with everyone. The neat wheat fields in the village, a handicraft workshop and wooden house next to each other. Zhan Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction. The current level of Wutong Village is no less than that of his leaving Xiaobai Village eight months ago, and it is even better. This is already very good in the game.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Wutong, it's a good job."

Wutong smiled and said, "Brother is joking. If I can compare to one-fifth of Xiaobai Village, I will be satisfied. Now, about half of the income in the village is mainly the interest rate spreads fought for in Xiaobai Village's trade exchanges. The rest are also primary processed products."

After half an hour, I visited Wutong Village.

It was getting late, and Zhan Xiaobai didn't delay here too much. He and everyone rode their horses upstream along the stone paving road to Xiaobai Village, which was six or seven miles upstream. He was already a little anxious to see the situation of Xiaobai Village.

When I returned to Xiaobai Village, I saw a larger welcome scene.

Outside the long stone wall of the village, Deputy Village Chief Li Asan led the village's Ministry of Agriculture, Tai Academy and other NPC officials Lin Yang, Zhang Cong, Li Ting, the great pharmacist, Confucian scholar Xu Yang, Gou Buli, Taoist Master Wu, Old Man He, Xu Niang in the Tavern... Hundreds of NPCs.

Nearly 10,000 Xiaobai Village players greeted at the village gate, with extremely loud cheers.

"The village chief is back!"

"Boss Xiaobai is back~!"

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and waved to everyone.

Li A San stepped forward excitedly and had not seen his lord for half a year, which made him want to die.

He bowed: "I pay homage to the lord."

Zhan Xiaobai dismounted, stepped forward and held it up quickly, laughing and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers, let's all enter the village."

Everyone's horses were deposited into the stable, 20 Hu Benqi and 50 archers, as well as a master craftsman and three master craftsmen, and they were handed over to A Fei to settle for accommodation. This was the first time that A Fei had seen these advanced NPC soldiers, the master craftsmen. These senior soldiers with full armor almost scared all the NPCs.

In Xiaobai Village, there have been many blocks and workshop areas, and the defense facilities have been improved, and various types of construction have been densely constructed. Hundreds of stone arrow towers are scattered around the village, and there are also stone casting platforms, which almost reaches the level of a town.

There are two walls in the village: the wooden wall is on the inside and the stone wall is on the outside, and the range is larger.

Within the wooden wall, it is the core area and mainly distributed with many buildings. Between the stone wall and the wooden wall, it is a sub-region, farmland and defense.

In the village, there are two main roads in the southeast and northwest, and beside them, except for restaurants, teahouses, inns, etc., almost all of them are NPCs, and there are hundreds of shops opened by players.

There is a pawn shop, jewelry store, equipment store, weapon store, clothing store, cloth store, gambling store, second-hand goods supermarket, treasure store, and even an escort agency, which specializes in delivering goods to players.

There are also chambers of commerce, various chambers of commerce organizations, adventure organizations, skill organizations, and industrial organizations. They all rent shops on the streets of Xiaobai Village and set up open office locations so that players can have convenient places to join and communicate.

It is no exaggeration to say that the organization of Xiaobai Village has gradually become the most perfect and developed organization in Liangzhou.

The population limit of 1,500 in Xiaobai Village is fully completed and has developed to a limit. It is impossible to expand the production capacity of NPC craftsmen, but they can only increase their proficiency.

After Zhan Xiaobai returned to Xiaobai Village, the first thing he did was to use the town drawings to upgrade the village.

To upgrade a large village to a small town, there are requirements: 1. The village chief obtains an official position from the sixth rank or above. 2. The villagers exceed 1500. 3. The town drawings are required. 4. Complete functional building facilities.

After using the town drawings and a brilliant light, Xiaobai Village was officially upgraded to Xiaobai Town. The buildings in the village seemed to have a new feeling. The administrative courtyard located in the center of the town has been expanded again and has become more brilliant.

Zhan Xiaobai led the crowd into the Executive Yuan.

The Executive Yuan Center is already a huge piece of blue jade. Green jade: jade used for town processing, with a durability of 5 million, automatic recovery speed of 1,000 points/second, and defense of 100.

Zhan Xiaobai touched the jade and a government affairs processing interface appeared.

1. The upper limit of the population of the town: 5000. Under the camp: Eastern Han Dynasty imperial court. Territory range: 50 miles (residents have combat effectiveness in the territory + 3% bonus).

The villages under its jurisdiction: 1/5. The mayor has the authority to appoint village chiefs of 5 small villages, but does not directly interfere in village affairs.

List of small villages under the jurisdiction: 1. Lüshi Village [Village Chief: Lüshan]. (Lüshan has already worshipped Zhan Xiaobai as his lord, and Lüshi Village automatically defaults to belong to Xiaobai Town)

2. Town buildings: In addition to conventional buildings, the following buildings are added:

Infantry barracks: 1 seat, lv1 level barracks. You can recruit 20-level brave soldiers in the Pian Township and 20-level brave soldiers in the Pudao Township. The total speed of soldiers is 50 per day, and the maximum limit for soldiers in the barracks is 100/100. Recruitment cost: 200 copper/soldiers. The recruitment income is owned by the town finance and 1/3 of them belongs to the court.

Military fortifications: 1. Lu Pan - Military fortifications that can be built in the field, consume wood and copper coins.

3. Official positions in small towns and appointments by administrative officials.

Mayor: The fifth-rank rank of the Central Army General of Pinglu - Xiaobai.

Deputy Mayor: None yet.

Remaining officials: None yet. (All officials need to be reappointed)

Vacant official positions in the town: 4 civil and military officers with eighth rank, 8 civil and military officers with ninth rank, and 24 civil and military officers with tenth rank.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded secretly. The big village was upgraded to a town. In addition to the increase in population by more than three times, the main one was to increase the villages under his jurisdiction.

In this way, the town can have control over other villages, although there are only 5 small villages.

If you upgrade to a big town, you may be able to have 5 big villages under your jurisdiction. In this way, the strength of the big town will be very great.

......

That night, tens of thousands of people in Xiaobai Town celebrated. For Zhan Xiaobai, they won the fifth-rank general for Zhan Xiaobai, upgraded the village to a small town, and for these three joys, all the taverns and inns in the village held banquets and drinks.

At the entire banquet, Li A-san, as the deputy village chief, was undoubtedly the happiest one. He was originally just the village chief of a small village. Although he had the plan to assist the wise leader in establishing a great cause, it was just a strong wish and never dared to take it seriously.

But today, the lord was honored to be appointed as the General of the Central Army of the Court to Pinggu. What a great official! This is the General of the Central Army. It is said that he is a high official around the emperor of the court. As for how big he fell to the ground, he doesn't know how big he fell to the ground. However, he recognized the three words "fifth rank", and the prefect of the county in Wuwei County was only the fifth rank. What a high official!

Li A San's eyes were filled with tears. He was satisfied with the lord he assisted with as long as there was a trace of his contribution.

What's more, Zhan Xiaobai just told him in person that he wanted him to be the deputy mayor.

All players and NPCs also agreed.

He almost fainted in surprise, because he was the deputy of the county prefect, the chief of the county magistrate.

But Li A San did not agree immediately. He thought about it. Now he was very reluctant to be the deputy village chief of a big village. He didn't feel that he had the ability to serve as the deputy town mayor. If he dragged his lord down, it would be bad. It would be better to be a free official and take care of his old age with peace of mind.

Li A San talked about his thoughts to Zhan Xiaobai.

However, Zhan Xiaobai has his considerations. People with sufficient prestige in NPC must hold important positions to enable NPC. Except for Li A-san who has such great influence, other NPCs do not have this qualification and contribution.

Zhan Xiaobai immediately rejected his refusal and said, "Asan, this deputy mayor, now there is no one suitable for you. I will help you choose a few assistants to help you handle the town affairs. You can work for a while and wait until there is a suitable candidate."

Li A San could not refuse, so he could only accept the appointment with some anxiety in joy.

The fun lasted almost all night, and it was not until the morning when the players and NPCs dispersed.

Zhan Xiaobai also sent out most of the various skill books and top-quality equipment he had picked up on the battlefield. Almost every one of the hundreds of important figures in Xiaobai Town and Wutong Village received such a gift.

The next morning, Zhan Xiaobai convened a town meeting in the meeting hall to attend more than 50 players, NPC backbone and civil and military officials in the town.

"Jianba, Li A San, Lin Yang, Zhang Cong, Li Ting, you five are fully responsible for the construction of the village... Ah, it is the construction of the town, and recruits new NPC farmers, so as to strive to quickly build our town in the shortest time possible. We have the drawings of Zhongzhen and Dazhen. As long as the number of villagers is enough, we can directly upgrade to Zhongzhen or even Dazhen. Do this work immediately and don't waste time."

Zhan Xiaobai was in the chief and said to several civilian officials beside his right hand.

Jianba, Li A San and five others nodded immediately, and took their players and NPC administrative officials to personally dispatch personnel, arrange construction and recruitment work.

Zhan Xiaobai then said to Qiushui: "Now, Qiushui will inform us of the latest situation in this town, the surrounding areas of this town, and the entire Wuwei County village."

"yes!"

Qiu Shui stood up and looked at the remaining forty people in the audience and said, "From February 15 to October 15, 184, the biggest impact on the game was the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Yellow Turban Rebellion had a profound impact on Wuwei County."

She picked up a data sheet and said: "As of October 28, 184 (Yesterday), a total of 2,724 villages were established in Wuwei County, of which 897 have become ruined villages and have no owners. 223 are Yellow Turban Villages, and there are still Yellow Turban soldiers refreshed. 131 are villages built for ordinary NPCs, with neutral positions and trade with players. The remaining 1,473 are player villages, including 2 small towns, 56 large villages, 234 middle villages, and 1,181 small villages. In other words, the village damage rate is as high as 41.1%.

Zhan Xiaobai frowned slightly, "There are 56 large villages and 234 central villages now, are there so many?" This is a bit tricky. He doesn't care about how many villages are destroyed, he only cares about the strength gap between the villages and Xiaobai villages.

His village was still a big village yesterday. According to his current strength level, it is almost impossible to suppress up to 56 big villages with the power of a small town and unify Wuwei County.

No matter how strong Xiaobai Town is, it is not as strong as being able to annex 56 large villages. Even if you only want to annex a few of them, it is extremely difficult.

Qiushuidao: "In the past eight months, many villages have reached the level of large villages, and their strength has increased rapidly. The strength of each village is gradually getting closer, and our village's leading advantage is gradually losing, only about three to five times higher than other large villages. However,"

She smiled, "Now we are leading and upgrading to small towns again, and we can quickly distance ourselves from each village again. If we reach the level of a big town in a short time, our strength will be widened to a level of fifteen times to twenty times. It will be much easier to deal with these big villages."

Small village: 100 people. Central village: 500 people. Large village: 1500 people. Small town: 5,000 people. Central town: 100,000 people. Large town: 200,000 people. Small town: 500,000 people. Central city: 100,000 people. Large city: 200,000 people. Major city: 500,000 people. Capital: 1 million people. Imperial city: 5 million people.

A large town has a population of 13 times that of a large village and its production capacity is at least 13 times higher. From the perspective of the overall consideration of the scale concentration effect, it is normal for a large town to have 20 times more powerful than a large village.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded. The level gap between the big villages would not be too big. However, the production capacity of the big town's 20,000 people is easy enough to annex any big village.

He said: "Continue."

Qiushui continued: "We now have more than 18,000 professional warriors, about 4,000 professional life players, and about 1,500 npcs. Our town’s military deployment in Wuwei City is 8 player armies, each with 1,000 people, and has occupied half of the urban area of ​​Wuwei City alone. The remaining 10 armies are in the town and several leveling points outside the town. Each army implements a rotation and position transfer system, and adjusts the deployment every once in a while.

In the past eight months, our military operations have been mainly concentrated near Wuwei City, mainly to annex the urban streets. In addition, our village, Wutong Village, Hubao Village, Hutoushan Village, and Hualing-Daqi Village have adopted active defensive tactics to prevent all military destruction in the area. Therefore, in our 30-mile area, we basically did not suffer major war losses in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Among the 1,500 people in our village, there are as many as 1,300 NPC craftsmen, almost all of which have reached the level of advanced craftsmen. The quantity and quality of our craftsmen are far beyond other villages.

Production, construction and defense have made great progress.

Horses, weapons, equipment, food and finance are all hoarded in large quantities, making it the highest reserved village in Wuwei County. The village currently stocks up enough grain of 1,500 people with a population of more than three months. Now it can support one month of high-intensity combat."

Zhan Xiaobai was secretly amazed. He had stockpiled so much food! I'm afraid it was not produced by his own farmland, but obtained it from other places.

Qiushui continued: "In addition, there are 27 leagues in our village, and we are actively contacting new leagues..."

Two hours later, several main responsible persons reported on the general situation of the town and the town affairs meeting ended. Zhan Xiaobai and his backbone inspected the village and handled various issues in the town - government affairs, military affairs, construction, production, life, and almost all aspects of the town.
To be continued...
