The old ox looked up at the busy figures around him, and then looked at the huge building in the center of the village. There was a hint of doubt in the huge bull's eyes.

“Moo…”

After screaming, he lowered his head and continued to chew on the grass on the ground. How could the grass smell like in human affairs?

The town center looks two floors from the outside, but in fact, there are three floors including the top bell tower, and the first and second floors are considered a duplex structure.

The first floor has the largest area, with more than twenty rooms, of which fifteen warehouses are included in various types, and various materials are stored in different categories.

The remaining ten rooms are all available for living, with all the beds, tables, chairs and cabinets inside, but they are all like big bunks, and each room can accommodate at least six people.

In addition to dozens of rooms, there is also a spacious hall on the first floor, which is more than 100 square meters.

The area on the second floor is much smaller, with only five suites, the largest one in the innermost part.

The ensuite includes a bedroom, a living room, a small study and a small living room.

The other suites are relatively small, with only the bedroom and the living room outside.

Li Xu naturally chose the largest suite as his residence. Of course, this was originally prepared for him, and no one except him was qualified to live there.

He was sitting behind the table in the small study, looking at the several weapons placed in front of him.

The clothes on his body have changed from the original green robe to a well-tailed black warrior robe with golden cloud patterns on his cuffs. His black bun is tied with a white jade crown. His handsome face is firm and serious. With his well-proportioned and sturdy body, he looks heroic and elegant, and he can really be called "The world is like jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world."

In down-to-earth terms, when walking on the street, you will easily be invited by all kinds of enthusiastic young ladies to visit her newly bought bed sheets.

In the ancient context, if a girl who just helps to fight the car, she will be promised to repay the prince’s great kindness with her body.

In short, looking at the face inside the bronze mirror, Li Xu still feels very immersive, but it is no less beautiful than his previous life.

On the table in front of him was a long sword, a dagger, a bow, a crossbow, and a musket about one meter five.

Next to it is a pot of feather arrows, a pot of crossbow arrows, and a bag of prototype lead bullets and launching medicines for muskets.

These are the weapons prepared by the system for Li Xu personally.

The long sword and dagger are made of shark skin sheaths. The long sword style is very similar to the horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty. The front end is slightly curved, and the back is a straight blade. The knife is shining cold and can be seen. You can feel a creepy palpitation just by getting closer.

The dagger is dark all over, but it is also very cold. You can tell at a glance that it is not a vulgar product.

The bow is an iron-tied bow, long and thick, and the bowstring alone is thinner than the adult little finger. It can be seen that it requires great strength to pull it apart, let alone be used for combat.

Such a strong bow can naturally be used by only those fierce people with natural divine power. The feathered arrows are naturally longer, thicker and heavier than ordinary arrows.

It just so happens that Li Xu is now a member of this group.

Although he is a lie, he is a veritable fierce man.

The crossbow is a hand crossbow, which is relatively small and can be used to protect yourself.

At the end of the firearm, although Li Xu was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw the real thing.

Just like in the game, is it a front-mounted smoothbore gunpowder or uses incompletely burning black gunpowder.

Although Li Xu never thought there would be a rifle like World War I and World War II, such as Water Pearl, Sanba Dabao, Chuntian style, or even Hanyang-made, at least it would be equipped with a gun.

Even if there is no rear-mounted gun, then at least a front-mounted rifled gun is given.

But……

Fortunately, what he asked to comfort him was that this old antique musket was not a combroach, but a flintlock rifle.

This also makes him feel a little more comfortable.

In his opinion, a coercine gun is actually not much better than a fire stick. A flintlock gun is different. Even if it is a fire stick, it is also a fire stick with several times more powerful.

Although the rate of fire does not improve qualitatively compared to the flint gun, it can basically avoid the impact of the weather. In this regard, it is the most important value of the flintlock gun.

Although Li Xu didn't know how far the firearms in this world had developed, he had not seen much of his experiences in his previous life, and it seemed that there had been no large-scale firearm wars.

Recalling and analyzing carefully from various information in memory, this world should also have firearms, and the imperial courts of various countries have special firearm camps.

But the number of people should not be too large, and even if it is equipped with a musket, it is likely to be a coercion rather than a flintlock rifle.

Although the flintlock only adds a small flint to fire the ignition firing medicine compared to the flintlock gun, this is a revolutionary step and is not so easy to achieve.

Li Xu imagined that if his future army was equipped with flintlock rifles from the beginning, it would have a great advantage over other firearm armies in this world and could be maintained for a considerable period of time. After all, the gap between generation gap is not so easy to smooth.

Thinking about this, even if the number of troops under your command is not large, you can maintain a relatively strong position with the advantage of generation difference in technical equipment. Of course, the premise is that you only protect yourself, not take the initiative to die.

An old antique musket made Li Xu's thinking dissipate a lot in an instant, and even thought of things several years later.

But he quickly came to his senses and laughed at himself.

After all, these ideas can only be realized after upgrading to the colonial era, but it is a bit too early to think about it now.

After all, in order to upgrade to the colonial era, in addition to the necessary condition of one thousand taels of silver, one thousand points of experience is also required.

There are two ways to obtain experience values ​​in the imperial system. One is to create experience values. Simply put, it is to build a house and cultivate the emperor. Each building has a fixed experience value and clearly marked the price.

Another way is to obtain experience points in battle. The more enemies you kill, the more experience points you will naturally be. The stronger the enemy you are killed, the higher the experience points you provide.

Therefore, you need to do a lot of construction in the early stage to earn experience value.

However, the village is only so big. After leaving the necessary roads, greening land and crop land, there will not be too many places to be used to build houses.

Moreover, there is no need to build too many buildings in the later stage, so the experience value in the later stage must be obtained from killing enemies.

Of course, the target of killing enemies cannot be killed just by seeing people. Not to mention whether the system will reward experience points, Li Xu, as a normal person, could not do this.

If you want to kill, you have to kill those guys who are unwilling to you, as well as those bandits and soldiers who are suffering everywhere.

But I don’t know if there are any bandits near this village, and if there are, I don’t know where they are.

Besides, although he has combat skills now, he has never fought with anyone after all, so he is actually a little confused about what level he is now.

Although there are sixty people under my command now, they are all non-combatants. It is probably OK to fight a group, but it is not enough to use it to fight.

So after thinking about it, only by doing big construction is the only way to make as much money as possible in the construction experience value, so that the town center can be upgraded as soon as possible, so that other things can be considered.

If you want to build a farm as soon as possible, you need more manpower.

Li Xu checked and found that he now has 6,000 kilograms of food on hand.

According to the price of summoning a farmer for 100 kilograms of grain, he can summon another 60 people.

However, the accounts obviously cannot be settled like this, because he and so many of his subordinates still have to eat every day, and if they spend all their food, they will not starve to death.

Even if you farm and open up land, you have to wait until autumn to harvest. After all, it is the real world now, not in the game, and food growth must comply with the Basic Law.

So Li Xu finally calculated and decided to spend 2,000 kilograms of grain to recruit twenty people from his hometown city.

At that time, there will be 4,000 kilograms of grain left, and eighty people will be able to eat it for about one month based on the consumption of two kilograms of grain per person per day.

With this month, he can do a lot of things.

Food is the most important thing for the people, so when the entire Zhuangzi has basic defensive functions, he will try every means to get more food.

As the saying goes, the most precious thing in troubled times is food.

Although it seems that the world is not so chaotic that it is uncontrollable, it is probably on the verge of collapse.

Not to mention other things, but now the Zhongzhou mainland is divided into seven or eight countries, adjacent to each other, and constantly quarrels. It has been a hundred years of struggle. Although it has not been unified yet, according to historical laws, it is time to unify after a long period of division.

There is no doubt about this.

The only uncertain thing is which country is to unify and which monarch completes the great cause of unification.

Therefore, what we can encounter is that in the next ten or twenty years, war will inevitably be the biggest theme.

Therefore, if you want to survive and live a comfortable life in the upcoming battle, you must prepare in advance, otherwise everything will be over.

It is precisely because of realizing this that Li Xu's heart is now full of crisis.

There are four words in my heart: time is gone. Although there is a system as a trump card, I cannot develop a slack heart.

In the next few days, Li Xu either stayed in the study and wrote and painted, and recorded his various plans and defense facilities for the Zhuangzi; or he took his secretary Xiao Ailin to patrol everywhere, supervised the construction of construction sites at any time, and checked for omissions and filled in.

Once a person is involved in a job, he will constantly have various ideas. When eating, he suddenly has an idea. As soon as he pushes his job, he should remember it quickly.

When I was walking, I suddenly felt that there was a defensive measure to add somewhere, so I turned around and told me that I had to remember it.

Even when I was sleeping in the middle of the night, I suddenly sat up, got out of bed immediately, and remembered it quickly.

As a secretary, Little Ailin must be on standby at any time, carrying paper and pen on her body at all times, and ensure that she can record the lord's instructions at any time and then organize them out.

When I met such a workaholic lord, although Xiao Ailin had no experience as a secretary and was a little busy at first, she quickly adapted to it and became more and more tacit in cooperating with Li Xu's style and habits.

After several days of running-in and adapting, Little Ailin has basically reached the level of knowing what he wants to do with just one look, which makes Li Xu very satisfied.
