The horse thief suffered heavy losses, and only the leader escaped with injuries.

The battle to seize grain at the end of the month in Xiaobai Village ended with players' victory under careful planning. Without Zhan Xiaobai's instructions, the players cleaned the battlefield. More than a dozen horse thieves actually lost more than a hundred copper coins, a level 10 Park Knife. The copper coins were divided by players as spoils. Park Knife was sent to Zhan Xiaobai.

Zhan Xiaobai sighed at the "richness" of the horse thief, but he was helpless with the gap in strength between the two sides. If he had a powerful cavalry team of 100 people, he could make a fortune by just destroying the horse thief. He played with Park Knife a few times. This level 10 Park Knife + 3 attack was very good. He handed it to Jian Badao: "This Park Knife is given to the player with the greatest contribution to combat."

Jianba nodded and took Pu Dao.

The five military observation teams in Daqi Village couldn't help but sigh. In addition to admiration, they followed Zhan Xiaobai and flattered him. "I have always heard that the elder Qiushui of Xiaobai Village is very good, but I didn't expect that she is really so powerful. She can easily command the team of two or three thousand players. If it were our Daqi, we may not be able to get together with a team of one thousand people, let alone command. It's not comparable!" "We have the chance in the future, so we should come to Xiaobai Village more."

Zhan Xiaobai, Jianba and others laughed. The observers of Daqi Village are really interesting. They seem to want to join Xiaobai Village. However, there are some hindrances in the identity of both parties. In addition, Daqi and Xiaobai are "friendly neighbors" villages, so I am afraid that it will not work in the short term.

Qiu Shui smiled and said, "The brothers of Daqi have been too rewarded. I dare not take credit for this great contribution to protecting the safety of the village. This is the result of Brother Bai, Jianba, Young Hero, A Fei, and many brothers working together."

Wutong also has to exaggerate this battle.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and waved his hand, "Don't praise us brothers. I think after the horse thief was frustrated this time, there should be no more big moves within a month. Otherwise, most villages in the world will not be able to withstand that kind of crazy attack. So this period is very precious. After you return to Wutong Village, you should speed up the time to resume construction and recruit farmers. When you encounter difficulties, come here to find Jianba directly, and he will try his best to help you solve it."

Wutong smiled and said, "Brother Xiaobai, don't worry, I won't make those low-level mistakes again this time."

After bidding farewell to the military observation team of Daqi Village, the players of Xiaobai Village and Wutong Village celebrated all night long. They lit a bonfire in the wilderness outside the village to congratulate the success of guarding the village. There was no good wine and delicacies, so they could only barbecue some wild game. I would like to say something.

The farmland has 50 acres, and it took only one day to harvest all the grain.

Li Asan replied to Zhan Xiaobai: "Lord, only the farmland in our village has been seldom trampled and damaged. Because a small amount of river fertilizer was added to the fields, the yield per mu reached 39 jin per mu, and now a total of 1,950 jin of grain is collected. In addition, hundreds of fish can be purchased every day. If we recruit 200 farmers in one breath, we will need to consume 6,000 jin of grain per month, and the gap is a bit huge."

Zhan Xiaobai said without thinking: "Increase the purchase of fish and strive to recruit 200 farmers by February 1st."

"I'm afraid there are not enough fish in the river"

"The fish production near the village is not enough, so go farther and catch it along the entire river." Zhan Xiaobai patted Li A San's shoulder and said, "I know there are many difficulties, but it is related to the future of the village. We must do all our strength to complete this task."

Seeing Zhan Xiaobai's determination, Li A San quickly said yes and said he would not say more.

In the next few days, Xiaobai Village and Wutong Village are urgently recruiting farmers, hoping to increase the population of villagers to the maximum in these days. Fortunately, when growing grain at the beginning of next month, they have the largest number of NPc farmers' labor.

In the past few days, although the grain was collected, so many farmers could not be idle, so they cut the wood first.

Zhan Xiaobai stayed in the blacksmith shop himself.

The disabled veteran made irons in the blacksmith shop every day and hurriedly made more than 20 pairs of rough iron plows. This thing is very helpful for farmers to plow the fields.

Rough iron plow: Level 1 farm tool, increasing farmers' plowing speed by 5%.

Seeing that he was very busy, Zhan Xiaobai asked curiously: "Brother, how good can your ironwork be created now?"

The disabled veteran said, "Lord, this is my primary iron-striking technique. I can create the lowest-level farm tools and +1 crude iron weapons. But I can upgrade it soon. After five or six days, I will be upgraded to the intermediate iron-striking technique. I can create +2 iron swords and big swords. If I create more, I can achieve advanced iron-striking technique in about a month, and create +3 weapons and armor. The soldiers in our village no longer have to wear cloth clothes to the battlefield."

Zhan Xiaobai nodded and would be able to use the +2 iron sword next month. Although he is still not satisfied, it is better than using a copper knife. "I will try my best to provide you with iron ore, and I will just build it with peace of mind."

When Zhan Xiaobai was free, he visited the small village carpenter again.

The small village carpenter was exhausted during this period and processed every day and night, making various wooden tools.

Zhan Xiaobai asked him if he was satisfied with his living in the small village.

The carpenter said happily: "There are more work and more wages, and the younger ones are of course satisfied. Yes, the village chief, the younger ones have already been upgraded to the intermediate level and are pursuing advanced carpenter skills. Last time you asked Mr. Li to ask about the shipbuilding at the ferry. The younger ones think that it should be fine to build a few small boats that can carry two people now."

Zhan Xiaobai was very happy to hear the carpenter being promoted to the intermediate level. However, he was not satisfied with the boat: "There are too few people. If it is a raft, how many people can it carry?"

The carpenter replied: "I can build large rafts, which can carry up to 8 people at a time, but this raft is not as stable as a small boat. It is easy to overturn when encountering rapids and is not easy to operate."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's just used to ferry a small river, and it can't be overturned. Let's build a large raft first, so that it can transport people faster. If you have time these two days, I'll ask Elder A Fei to take you to build a ferry by the river. What do you think?"

The carpenter hurriedly said, "If you have time, you can build it."
