132 Teahouse Storytelling

Li A San took a odor of escape farmer to the well to clean it. After washing it several times, the strong smell of horse manure on the NPC escape farmer finally faded. After a while, Li A San came to meet Zhan Xiaobai with the clean escape farmer.

The escaped farmer looked sad. When he saw Zhan Xiaobai, he pounced on the ground and whined: "Mr. Village Chief, save the young one! If the village chief doesn't save the young one, the young one will not survive, so just jump into the river!"

Is there anything big, is it necessary to live and die?

Zhan Xiaobai quickly helped him up and said, "Get up and talk, I will make the decision for you if you have any problems. Did you escape from that village? What kind of skills do you know?"

The fugitive farmer quickly complained: "The village chief is such a good person. The young man was originally a farmer who planted tea outside Hualing Village. More than two months ago, the horse thieves were caught and slave. Those hateful horse thieves didn't like the villain's work, beat and scolded him. After eating the whole meal, they even locked me in the stable. The villain has been working in the past two months, so he asked the adults to take in the villain and found some work to do. The villain can endure hardships very much."

Tea farmers in Hualing Village!

Zhan Xiaobai and Li A San were surprised. It is said that the tea farmers in Hualing Village were lost when they were harassed by horse thieves in February. Unexpectedly, they were caught by horse thieves to work as coolies and are still alive. Poor Hualing Village, after the tea farmers were lost, they have lost a large income.

Zhan Xiaobai thought about it for a long time and thought about how to deal with this tea farmer.

Li A San suggested: "Lord, since he can grow tea, let's take him in. Our village can also earn an extra income."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and said, "I want to harvest too, but we must plant a tea forest ourselves... There is only wild tea forest next to Hualing Village in this area. In addition, we must handle the relationship with Hualing Village now. If Hualing Village knows that the tea farmers are in our hands, they will be afraid that they will immediately send someone to ask for it. If the handling is not done properly, it will cause great conflicts. Other villages will also say that we are too domineering and have robbed other people's important talents."

Li A San muttered secretly: Our village has done a lot of domineering things, one less, and one more. However, he knew that Zhan Xiaobai has always been considerate in his work, so he dared not say much.

Seeing that Zhan Xiaobai was still considering whether to take him in, the tea farmer hurriedly cried: "Sir, don't leave the villain behind, you don't want to suffer any more. You just want to have a safe place to live."

Zhan Xiaobai suddenly had an idea and asked the tea farmer: "How high are your skill level?"

The tea farmer hurriedly said, "The villain is now a high-level tea farmer."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and smiled, "That's it, you can accept apprentices, right? How many apprentices can you accept now?"

"Yes, what the adults said is good. The villain can now accept three apprentices and teach the skills of growing tea, stir-frying tea, and making tea."

"This is easy to do." Zhan Xiaobai turned to Li A San and said, "A San, you immediately arranged three farmers to be the apprentices of tea farmers. In addition, if you send someone to Hualing Village, you will say that Xiaobai Village has recently recruited four tea farmers. Thinking about what happened to Hualing Village several months ago, I feel deeply regretful. I want to discuss with them and give them one of the junior tea farmers to them and ask them to send a few people to discuss the cooperation."

Li Asan quickly arranged to accept disciples and send someone to Hualing Village to contact us.

The tea farmer was overjoyed, and tears flowed, and he lay on the ground and kowtowed several times: "Mr. Xie, take it in! The villain can finally live a stable life."

Zhan Xiaobai was so amused and laughed, "Get up, you will be a villager of Xiaobai Village from now on. Change your outfit from head to toe, so that people will not recognize your previous identity."

When Hualing Village received the news from Xiaobai Village, it was overjoyed. There was such a good thing! Xiaobai Village actually wanted to give them one of the four tea farmers he got?

A certain elder said: "Since the tea farmers in our village were lost, we can only make money from other production income. The large area of ​​wild tea forests nearby cannot be used. Xiaobai Village was really lucky and actually got 4 tea farmers at once. Now, we can produce tea again."

A certain elder was worried: "Will they have any conditions?"

Hua Ling: "No matter what, as long as our village can resume tea production, it will be a big income and can quickly improve our financial situation. Let's go to Xiaobai Village immediately."

On that day, the village chief and elder of Hualing Village came to Xiaobai Village in person to talk about the gift of NPC tea farmers and the cooperation. They had no idea that it was their own tea farmers in the hands of Xiaobai Village.

Elder Jianba negotiated with them. Of course, the tea farmers could not give it to them for free. Xiaobai Village offered a condition: 50% of the tea production in Hualing Village will belong to Xiaobai Village. Hualing Village is in a difficult situation. Xiaobai Village gave them a person, and they must appreciate it. However, the 50% tea production is too high, so it must be reduced.

Xiaobai Village made a step forward and finally agreed to 60% of Hualing Village and 40% of Xiaobai Village. However, a small number of tea trees wild outside Hualing Village were transferred and cultivated in Xiaobai Village.

In addition, since tea is a scarce product, even the entire Liangzhou is very rare. Xiaobai Village will reach a commercial agreement with Hualing Village to control the tea market in Wuwei County and even Liangzhou, increase tea profits, and share the benefits together.

The two sides signed the commercial cooperation agreement without any objection. Afterwards, Zhan Xiaobai, Jianba, Qiushui and others personally discussed a more important thing in the meeting hall - forming allies.

Hua Ling and several elders were very excited. Because there was a Daqi village between Hua Ling and Xiaobai Village, they did not have much contact with Xiaobai Village before and did not have a deep understanding of Xiaobai Village's style.

They never expected Xiaobai Village to be so generous, and they would give them a precious NPC tea farmer as soon as they made a move, and were willing to control the tea market with him Hualing Village. If the two sides could go further and form an alliance, it would be better.

Hua Ling smiled and said, "Boss Xiaobai has always been the leader of all villages. Since you have proposed to form an alliance with my Hualing Village, my Hualing Village is naturally very willing. In the future, if there are places where I need my Hualing Village, whether it is war or financial resources, if Xiaobai just says hello, my Hualing Village will definitely be effective."

Zhan Xiaobai laughed: "Haha, Brother Hualing is very good, so let's officially form an alliance."

In just one day, Xiaobai Village formed a partnership with Hualing Village in a lightning manner. The news of this system was officially announced in Wuwei County.

So far, Xiaobai Village has three alliance villages, Wutong Village, and the brother alliance villages are fully integrated. Hubao Village is a trade alliance village, limited to trade. Hualing Village is a partner alliance village, which supports each other in terms of trade, force, etc.

The two villages formed an alliance, which caused considerable shock and speculation among the villages in the nearby area.

The most uneasy thing was Daqi Village. Daqi was nervously guessing whether Hualing had reached any agreement and wanted to conspire to deal with Daqi Village sandwiched between the two villages. Because Daqi Village and Hualing Village and Xiaobai Village were not very good, this possibility was high. He quickly sent many spies to the two villages to inquire about information.

The second is Hubao Village. Heihu, Tianbao and others studied for a long time but couldn't figure out what the purpose of Zhan Xiaobai and Hualing formed an alliance. It should not be that they came to Hubao Village. Hualing Village is a long distance from Hubao Village. If Hualing Village wants to mobilize a large number of troops to go on an expedition, it will definitely cause a strong backlash in Daqi Village.

The cooperation between Xiaobai Village and Hualing Village is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Some of the wild tea trees are transplanted in Xiaobai’s newly built tea garden, and the tea farmers and his apprentices can grow tea in the village. Since the whole tree is transplanted directly, tea can be produced in the shortest time.

Zhan Xiaobai's first inspection in the tea garden.

The tea farmer replanted the tea leaves and was grateful to Zhan Xiaobai for his gratitude.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and shook his head, remembering something: "By the way, how did you escape from the horse thief? Are they unattended?"

When the tea farmer heard Zhan Xiaobai's inquiry, he hurriedly said, "They were afraid that the villains would escape, so they were very strict. However, these days, the horse thieves fought with the Qiang people every day. They snatched a lot of things from the Qiang people, such as cows, sheep, horses, pigs, food and grass. The horse thieves were not enough, and even the last horse thief who took care of me was transferred. Sometimes there was no one in their camp. The villain found an opportunity and ran away overnight."

"oh"

Pei Yuanshao's horse thief robbed the property of the Qiang tribe every day? It's so powerful.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Do you know how many people they have now?"

The tea farmer shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that there are a lot more during this period. I have to kill several pigs every day to make the sheep eat."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded. It seemed that Pei Yuanshao had acquired some horse thieves from somewhere, and he had expanded the team again. He looked for an opportunity to see if he could get some plowing ox from them.

Zhan Xiaobai left the tea garden and thought that the tea would be produced before it would take long, so he arranged for some farmers to build a basic living building next to the tavern - the teahouse.

Intermediate teahouse: 10 to 30 foreign NPCs appear every day, and drink tea, and spend 1 to 30 copper coins - the higher the tea level, the higher the cost. The chance of storytellers appearing is 10%, telling stories and biography in the teahouse can improve the morale of villagers.

After the teahouse was built, Zhan Xiaobai became the first group of guests of the teahouse, along with Li Asan, Jianba and others, and many players who joined in the fun. The tea used was also the lowest-grade tea.

A junior apprentice of the tea farmer works as a tea doctor in the teahouse and treats tea to the guests. As for cups, they cannot afford ceramics, all bamboo tea cups and bamboo kettles. The tables and chairs are also made of wood.

Dr. Tea filled everyone with tea one by one.

Low-grade green tea: +5% physical recovery speed, aging: one cup of tea.

Zhan Xiaobai picked up the teacup and smiled at the players: "Drinking is too expensive. The attributes of this tea look pretty good. It seems that we will change to drinking tea in the future. Today, our Xiaobai Village Teahouse has been newly opened, and all tea is free. Don't be polite. In the future, the tea in this teahouse will be sold cheaply, so that everyone can have a good place to restore their energy. I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you a cup."

The players laughed, "Haha, I have to thank Boss Xiaobai!" "If it's free every day, I'll come to support you every day!" "No wine, tea is fine."

Jianba took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This tea can speed up the recovery of physical strength. It's good. I was worried that I couldn't open the player market. With this attribute, there is no need to worry about sales. But this 5% is a bit cold, and I have to develop advanced tea."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Jianba, when the village merchants go to the business, please let them pay attention to whether there are tea seeds or wild tea. Even if it is purchased at a high price, it is definitely a good deal."

Jianba nodded.

Everyone upstairs were chatting. A middle-aged NPC wearing a gray cloth shirt and holding a paper fan walked up to the teahouse. When he saw that the teahouse was full of people, he couldn't help but feel happy. He came, bowed from everyone, and smiled with a hint of spirit: "All guests, I am Fu Dayan, and I am a storyteller. Since I have nothing to do, why not listen to the next paragraph of book?"

On the first day of opening, the NPC storyteller came!

The players were very happy, "Okay, I'm idle, I'll give you some time."

Storyteller Fu Dayan said, "Let's say that our great Han Dynasty had the great powers of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and his great achievements were made. Later, there were Emperor Wu Liu Che and Wen Jing's rule, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went to the Xiongnu, and horses stepped on the Qilian Mountains and sealed the wolf's servants. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu revived our great Han Dynasty, and to this day, Emperor Ling ascended the throne, and the heroes were beyond words. Why not, let me talk about it below, Ma Yuan, the famous General Fu Bo during the period of Emperor Guangwu."

There may be a few players in Ma Yuan who don’t know his origin, but when it comes to Ma Teng and Ma Chao, I’m afraid all players will know it. Ma Yuan is the most famous ancestor in the history of the Ma clan in Liangzhou. The mighty power of the Ma clan in Liangzhou was largely obtained by Ma Yuan. Without Ma Yuan, there would be no strong Ma family warlords who ruled Liangzhou during the Three Kingdoms period.

When the players heard him say that Ma Yuan, they couldn't help but calm down, listening with relish.

"Ma Yuan's ancestor was Zhao She, a famous general of Zhao State during the Warring States Period. Zhao She was named "Ma Fujun". Since then, Zhao She's descendants have taken Ma as their surname. The Ma family has produced loyal and virtuous talents for generations, Ma Yuan's brothers, and each of them has two thousand stone high-ranking officials. Speaking of which, Ma Yuan became the supervisor of the county and was ordered to escort prisoners once..."

Fu Dayan's storytelling attracted the players so much that he almost squeezed the teahouse. Not only the players, but even the NPC villagers came to listen, each with their necks raised, and said, "Oh, okay, it's so awesome!"

Zhan Xiaobai secretly admired him. This NPC storyteller is very powerful. I don’t know if he can subdue him, so he can increase morale to the villagers every day.
