Chapter 6 Primitive Accumulation
"Mr. Village Chief, please come to our house to talk to you. My old daughter is still young and looks pretty."
"My village chief, although I am fifty years old, my charm is still there, so you can just leave me."
Xu Tian inspected Zhao Village and was enthusiastically popular among the villagers.
His charm value is as high as 90, which is already a perverted number. Only monarchs such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, beauties such as Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan have more than 90 charms.
Compared with ordinary games, in "The World", charm is a very practical basic ability. The most direct function is to be popular and it is easier to recruit generals.
But sometimes, Xu Tian is troubled because of his high charm value.
Alas, what should I do if it is so popular?
Zhao Village does not refuse the influx of incoming population, it is better to say that more people are better.
The population has rapidly increased from more than 100 people to 300 people. There are more than a dozen free players who have settled in Zhaocun and set Zhaocun as the birth point, including doctors, blacksmiths, and merchants.
There are hundreds of millions of players in Huaxia District, and it is not surprising that there are free players in Zhaocun.
There are many wild-brushing points near Zhaocun, and level 30 gold BOSS appears, attracting many players from Zhending County to come to Zhaocun to kill monsters.
This incident inspired Xu Tian.
Although the population of Zhao Village has reached 300, there is not much fuel and water to exploit these poor NPC villagers, which will also lead to a decline in people's hearts and an uprising broke out.
Xu Tian has been paying attention to the news on the game forum, one of which was a post "Shock! The black-hearted lord of Chenliu County exploited villagers, and the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in Chenliu County. At the order of Emperor Ling of Han, millions of Han troops went to Chenliu!" attracted Xu Tian's attention.
The lord in the post is said to have directly increased the tax rate of the village to 80%. In addition, many names were set up to force the villagers to seize the plunder, which resulted in the villagers voluntarily joining the Yellow Turban Army and killing the lord to the deletion account.
In order to prevent players from repeatedly deleting accounts and brushing features, players cannot re-create their accounts within one month after deleting accounts.
As for establishing the village a month later, it has been left far behind by other lords.
Naturally, Xu Tian could not be so unintentional and forced the villagers to rebel.
The capital accumulation cannot be obtained from the villagers, so Xu Tian can only play the players' ideas.
Free players often swipe monsters in the wild, which is much richer than NPC villagers who farm.
So Xu Tian set up a temporary market in the center of Zhao Village for players who swipe monsters near Zhao Village to trade and build wooden houses in the village. As long as the free players pay a little fee, they can be allowed to live in the village for a period of time.
The township heroes in Zhao Village are responsible for maintaining order. If a player causes trouble, Zhao Dalang will lead the township heroes to expel him or even kill him.
Under Xu Tian's management, Zhaocun became a novice village in a sense, collecting transaction commissions and rents.
There are many wild monsters around Zhao Village, as well as Black Mountain Army activities, which are the leveling holy places for free players.
News of the 30th-level elite bosses appearing near Zhaocun spreading, and more and more players from Zhending County came to Zhaocun, and Zhaocun made wild incomes.
Two wooden arrow towers have also been completed and are erected at the entrance of Zhaocun Village. Each wooden arrow tower has a village warrior stationed.
Zhaozhou Qiao Mei smiled and came to see Xu Tian with bags of copper coins, and made a plan: "My village chief, trade is much faster than farming. In the past three days, 20 Yiren have officially entered our Zhao Village, and 50 Yiren have temporarily settled in. The number of Yiren trades in the village every day is as many as 200."
"In the early stage, rely on trade, but in the later stage, we still rely on farming, so we must never fall behind in farming."
Xu Tian knew the relationship very well.
In the primitive accumulation stage, gold and silver are directly plundered, and wealth is accumulated the fastest, followed by trade and farming.
During the Age of Discovery, the Spanish directly plundered silver mines in South America. Later, the Dutch and English established East India Company to trade. Later, the colonists created the plantation economy, showing the stages of the original accumulation of capital.
To plunder requires a certain amount of strength. Xu Tian, who has not strong military strength, naturally cannot plunder the gold and silver of the Black Mountain Army, so trade is the fastest way to develop territory in the early stage.
Of course, farming is still the last destination, after all, land is the most important factor of production.
Xu Tian went too far and focused on managing Zhaocun.
Zhaocun is currently a small village. In addition to reclaiming a batch of farmland, taxes mainly come from players.
Xu Tian considers upgrading Zhao Village to a medium-sized village as soon as possible.
In addition, the income brought by players is only temporary. When the player level increases, they may go to a more advanced map to sweep monsters.
Zhao Village needs to develop fisheries, animal husbandry, mining, logging and quarry to have a stable financial source.
Territorial construction is by no means as simple as farming, farming is just the most basic job.
"It seems that it is necessary to go to Zhending City to buy production-type architectural drawings."
Xu Tian recruited another group of township warriors to lead a team to Zhending City, 30 kilometers away to purchase drawings.
Zhending City is a medium-sized city, guarded by officers and soldiers of the Han Empire, and the Black Mountain Army is not afraid to attack Zhending City for the time being.
It is also very easy to get to Zhending City, and it can be reached in one day.
Before going to Zhending City, Xu Tian took the village hero to clean up wild monsters around the village, sold the materials to players or villagers, and obtained 50 taels of silver.
Xu Tian has the A-level group injury skill "Crow Flame Arrow". He shoots an arrow and directly shoots a group of wild monsters. The efficiency of killing monsters is very high.
However, fire-type skills can destroy fur, which is also a disadvantage.
Xu Tian remembered that the Wolf King's top leather had not been used yet, so he posted a notice on the village bulletin board to recruit players who are tailors.
After waiting for about half a day, a female player actually took over the task released by Xu Tian.
Generally, male players rarely choose to become tailors, so most female players make armor.
"let me see."
"Mr. Village Chief, this is not good..."
“I mean look at your traits and skills.”
Xu Tian looked dark, and it was obvious that the other party misunderstood his thoughts.
He is a serious person.
【Features】: Skillful (blue)
[Effect]: The failure rate of production of armor and fashion decreases by 5%, and there is a 5% chance of increasing one level.
[Restrictions]: Tailoring profession.
Sure enough, different professions and characteristics are very different.
It is very popular for players to become tailors. No matter which city you need such a specialist.
"This is the C-level skill I have obtained - 'Excellent Leather Armor Making'."
This female player sent her skill panel to Xu Tian again.
【Skill】: Excellent leather armor making
【Level】: C-level
【Effect】: Can produce silver-grade and bronze-grade leather armor protective gear
【Restrictions】: Tailoring profession
"In the future, you will work for our village. For every piece of armor you produce, you will get the corresponding reward, and the materials will be sent from the village warehouse."
Seeing that the female player had good characteristics and skills, Xu Tian decided to hire her to use the Wolf King's leather to produce 30 pairs of silver-level leather armor.
After Xu Tian arranged for personnel to produce leather armor, he decided to set off the next day and go to Zhending City.
After a few days of opening the server, most players have already entered the role.
The number of posts on the forum has soared, dozens of times more than before the server was launched. The posts in the front are all strange stories - "About becoming the adopted son of the ten eunuchs", "There is indeed a big problem in the development of my village", "Xu Chu is obviously super strong but unwilling to go to the officialdom", "The Five-Class of the Northern Army and the Five Schools", "How to cultivate Lu Xun in childhood"...
What weird are these posts...
