Chapter 123 The Broken Building Ship
Since last time he bought a yurt near a civilized area from the market, Yang Rui has been asking Chi Zhong to pay attention to this aspect of equipment.
Each yurt equipment can only accommodate 5 people. It is not a special equipment for marching and fighting, but a type of housing. It does not appear very frequently in the market, so many days, I only bought 3 from the market!
These tents can only accommodate 10 or 20 people, and small-scale operations are barely enough, but it is obviously far from enough to use as a forward base for attacking native NPC camps. Without enough accommodation for soldiers to rest and recover their physical strength, it is impossible to achieve long-distance monster sweeps!
Yang Rui also tried to find out if there were any nearby players' villages. If so, he could try to negotiate with him and station his soldiers in the inn in his territory. Unfortunately, these two native NPC camps are located in remote areas, and there is no nearby player's village in a radius!
If he had communicated with Han Laixiang early and used his village to fight against Wenshui thieves, Yang Rui could save the village building token of Shuiyuan Village, which would come in handy at this time! However, it would be used after use. Shuiyuan Village is closer to Wenshui, so it might have other uses.
It is okay to buy a village building token to build a new village and kill monsters. However, a village building token is still a rare thing at this time, and it will cost a lot of money to buy it! Otherwise, there would not be only a few and sparse villages on the huge map!
These two native NPC stronghold tasks can only be placed first. The current few humanoid NPC strongholds can meet the needs of Dashan Town's skill book and equipment supply in the short term. Another thing also made Yang Rui very troubled.
Since the end of Dashan Town [Efficiency Scroll Month], the drought that ravages in Yanzhou have also come to Dashan Town! The drought is easier to solve. There are mountains and water around Dashan Town, and the water resources are very abundant; however, the locust plague is extremely powerful, and it is almost chewing away most of the sweet potato seedlings in Dashan Town!
Fortunately, the Hulu Valley has been wet and foggy for a long time, so the locusts have not visited there, or the locusts do not like to eat crops like Ganoderma lucidum, so the cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum has not been affected!
Yang Rui had already expected to encounter a locust plague. He also did some preliminary preparations, such as many players summarizing it, preparing firewood for smoke. However, when he was really facing the overwhelming locusts, there was no time to take measures. Most of the large pieces of sweet potato stems and leaves have been gnawed!
It is worth mentioning that sweet potato is indeed a crop with very high tolerance and adaptability. Even though it is broken by locusts, there are only a few remaining branches and leaves left. The yield reduction is only 60%, and it still retains 40% of the harvest, which is 20% lower than the general level of 80% reduction in production in the entire Yanzhou!
Such a harvest, coupled with the large number of sweet potato stocks in previous years, can basically maintain transactions with Yipinxiang sweet potatoes, which is a very good result! Then again, when the sweet potato business has been launched, appropriately reducing some supply may not be a bad thing, as rare things are expensive.
In fact, Yang Rui was not worried about the problem of grain production reduction. Dashan Town has been purchasing grain from the market, and the inventory is not small, which is enough for Dashan Town to survive the special period of grain production reduction! What he cares about is that since the entire Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone and even the surrounding civilized areas are in a state of low grain and shortage of grain, the price of grain has increased significantly, reaching a level of more than 20 copper per kilogram!
Although this price is still a lot different from the highest price of grain in the past life of more than 40 copper per kilogram, it also caused many obstacles to Yang Rui's plan to purchase a large amount of grain. Because Dashan Town is currently tight in funds, he knows that there is still a lot of profit margins in grain, but he cannot purchase it in bulk!
But at this special time, the Canyue people found Yang Rui and asked about the same question about food.
Yang Rui has heard of the reputation of Canyue in his previous life, especially in the forums, which are discussed a lot by players! Because Canyue is a very special game organization, consisting of only ten people, and the names used in each game range from "Cancel? One" to "Cancel? Ten", and have never changed.
Moreover, in all previous games, Canyue appeared as a killer organization, taking advantage of people to chase and kill the characters in the game, or completing some tasks for a living! These ten people have very good game skills, so their reputation has slowly emerged.
What others talk about is that Canyue changed her previous characteristics in the "War of the World" game and focused on becoming a lord player! Moreover, the number of players in her territory has remained at the level of ten people, and no other players have been attracted to come in!
It was such a territory organized by ten people, but it quietly squeezed into the top 100 in the Three Kingdoms Region rankings! Especially after the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Canyue even counted a small number of them who were upgraded to the town first!
The most important thing is that players all know the existence of Canyue and know that their territory is in Qingzhou, but no player has ever seen their territory! Many players have a guess - that Canyue's territory may not be on land, but may be on an island on the sea!
"Can? Jiu has seen the head of Lieyang Pavilion!"
After being invited into Aolai Valley Pass, the cool young man in front of him claimed to be a garrison? Jiu. After only saying this sentence when he met, he was not going to express anything. If Yang Rui hadn't been interested in Canyue's mystery and was not very busy at hand, he might have just said hello and left.
After Yang Rui's active conversation, Can Jiu slowly realized his purpose, and almost Yang Rui said something, he said something. When it comes to food, it was nearly half an hour!
"Please forgive me, brother Jiu. My Dashan Town is very nervous at the moment and there is no surplus food. I am afraid that my brother will go there for nothing."
When it comes to food, Yang Rui naturally wants to refuse! Previously, several player forces came to exchange for some food with Yang Rui, but Yang Rui refused with the same excuse, including several player forces like Dragon Soul, who are ranked very high!
The reason why many forces are generally short of food is not because of their lack of financial resources or poor vision. The key is that the plot has been promoted for two years after the first system update! It caught everyone off guard and there was no other way!
"Look at this by Lieyang Pavilion!"
Can? Jiu still answered concisely, and threw a viewing window to Yang Rui.
"Broken Tower Ship: used to be a flagship with strong combat power, but now it has no pulp and sails, and even no rudder, but occasionally it can hold something..."
Yang Rui lost interest just after just a glance. He thought it was a rare skill book, equipment, and other things that could make him moved, but he didn't expect it to be just a dilapidated building ship I got from somewhere!
"Clang!"
Just after Yang Rui felt very disdainful, a loud noise rang outside Aolai Valley Pass. A dilapidated building ship appeared in front of Yang Rui, causing a circle of dust to swell!
“Sometimes it can be used to smash people too!”
