Chapter 7 The Market and the Dog
After arranging the work of Zhao Dexian and others, Ouyang Shuo himself was not idle. He was going to go to the primary market to see if he had the opportunity to find some good things.
The primary market is built in the northwest corner of the village, close to the entrance of the village. The market occupies a large area. In addition to a small wooden building used for trading, there is also an open space on the west side of the building, which serves as an unloading area.
Walking into the building, there was no one inside. On the left side of the hall was a display screen, which looked like the real light-brain screen. On the right side was a teleportation array, emitting a faint magic light, an extremely mysterious one.
The market can be said to be a product of the game beyond the times. On the left is the crystallization of technological civilization and on the right is the crystallization of magic civilization. To achieve long-distance platform transactions, it is impossible to achieve without these two things.
The transaction scope of the primary market is the area around Dali City. The teleportation array cannot transmit living bodies. All transactions are paid by the seller of 20% transaction tax.
Ouyang Shuo walked to the display screen on the left and found that the entire trading platform was divided into four sections. They were the material trading platform, the special item trading platform, the limited-time auction platform and the negotiation and cooperation platform. The two platforms behind were gray and had not been opened yet.
Click to open a material trading platform, including grain, wood, stone, ore, cloth, salt and other materials. The only things that do not have are military supplies such as weapons, armor, bows and crossbows. These are prohibited items and cannot be sold.
Let’s look at the price again. One unit of grain is 10 copper coins, one unit of wood is 20 copper coins, and one unit of iron ore is 100 copper coins, which are not cheap. The most scarce thing in the territory is wood resources. Ouyang Shuo directly purchased 500 units and spent 1 gold coin.
What he is really interested in is the special item trading platform. Click on the platform, and the special items are divided into four categories, namely architectural drawings, item manufacturing technical manuals, skill books and other items.
Needless to say, there are all architectural drawings for non-hidden buildings required for territory construction, and there is a complete set of primary, intermediate, advanced and special.
During territory construction, in addition to upgrading necessary buildings, the lord's additional construction is completely unrestricted, as long as you meet the construction conditions.
For example, as long as you have brothel construction drawings, you can build this building that belongs to a third-level county town in a first-level village. As for whether you can operate brothels normally, that is another matter.
Despite this, most players still build various basic buildings step by step, and rarely build them over the level. The reason is that high-level architectural drawings are too expensive.
A brothel building drawing of 1,000 gold coins, which village chief is such a rich man. If he has this money in real time, no one will be stupid to spend this money in vain.
Ouyang Shuo first bought the necessary canteen construction drawings, toilet construction drawings, residential courtyard construction drawings, blacksmith shop construction drawings, grocery shop construction drawings and military camp construction drawings. Each piece was 2 gold coins, and a total of 12 gold coins were spent.
This is actually a bit of a waste of money, and most players are reluctant to go directly to the market to buy drawings. The more common way to obtain architectural drawings is to kill bandits or attack bandits' counterfeits. After these humanoid NPCs die, there is a certain probability that the drawings will drop.
Ouyang Shuo did this entirely to give full play to the value of these 100 gold coins, exchange money for rapid development in the early stage, and to be one step ahead.
In addition, he spent 15 gold coins to buy three more special drawings, namely the ferry construction drawings, the dock construction drawings and the shipyard construction drawings.
These are water-related buildings. Only territories close to water sources can be built. Therefore, they are not included in the scope of buildings necessary for territorial upgrading and belong to special buildings.
After buying the drawings, Ouyang Shuo clicks on the item manufacturing technology manual. The so-called item manufacturing technology is some special and confidential manufacturing technology in the industry, which cannot be mastered by ordinary skilled people.
For example, a master winemaker can theoretically make all kinds of high-end wines. But in fact, he cannot make "Hougongfang" liquor. Why? Because the recipe is confidential, no matter how skilled your skills are, it is useless.
Ouyang Shuo chose the "Technical Manual for Salt Drying in Sea Water" and the "Technical Manual for Guide Vehicle Manufacturing". Two technical manuals, the former has twenty gold coins and the latter has ten gold coins. In ancient times, salt was sold uniformly by the official. It is different in the game. Except for arms, everything else can be traded.
If a lord on the beach does not master the salt-drying technique of seawater, it would be a waste of resources. As for the guide, it is a key item for a certain task in the future. The rewards for the task are comparable to the golden-level village building token.
The third type of skill books includes all professional skills and some special skills. Skill books can only be used by players, and NPCs can only teach this way through master-apprentice learning skills. Ouyang Shuo chose basic riding, basic gunshot technique, basic archery and primary reconnaissance, and only 1 gold coin was spent on the four skill books.
The fourth category of other items is a variety of things, and all kinds of strange items may appear. It depends on whether you are lucky or not and whether your vision is accurate.
Ouyang Shuo's eyes were sore, and he couldn't find an item that was both practical and affordable. Just as he was about to give up, the list of items suddenly refreshed.
A newly added item came into view, the statue of Mazu (remembered), priced at 20 gold coins. Check the properties of the item and Ouyang Shuo bought it without hesitation.
【Name】: Mazu statue (remembered)
【Level】: Silver level
[Evaluation]: This is a broken statue of Mazu, with a faint trace of Mazu's divine power. Long-term worship will help repair the statue.
[Attribute]: Sea God Blessing (the fleet's sea navigation ability to resist storms is increased by 40%)
In order to worship the statue of Mazu, Ouyang Shuo had to buy another village temple construction drawing. Village temples are a must-have building for third-level villages, and a drawing costs 10 gold coins.
After a big purchase, Ouyang Shuo only had 11 gold coins left, which really cost money. After the purchase was completed, Ouyang Shuo walked to the teleportation array on the right.
I saw a white light flashing in the teleportation array, and the ten architectural drawings, two technical manuals, four skill books and one statue I bought were teleported over.
As for the 500 units of wood, it appears directly in the open space in front of the small building. These things are put into the storage bag and use them directly in four skill books.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for saying that Wuyi has successfully mastered the basic riding skills."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for saying Wuyi successfully mastered the basic gun technique."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for saying that Wuyi successfully mastered the basic archery skills."
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for saying Wuyi successfully mastered the primary reconnaissance."
Walking out of the small building, Zhao Dexian and his seven people were busy building fences. There was nothing left and right, so Ouyang Shuo simply helped them work together. The area of the third-level village is 1 square kilometer, with a length of one thousand meters each. The entire fence is 4 kilometers long, which is really a huge project.
According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, a main gate is opened in the middle of the north side. At the same time, for convenience, a side gate is opened on each side of the east and west sides. The logging yards under construction, as well as subsequent quarries and mining farms, will be distributed to the west of the territory. Therefore, the gate on the west side will serve as the main entrance and exit for transportation resources.
Similarly, the subsequent dock and shipyard will be built on the riverside on the east side of the territory. The east side door is used to connect the village and the dock. The straight line connected by the east and west side doors together with the central axis divides the entire village into four major areas.
The central axis building complex will become the most prosperous area in the village, and the territory will be divided into two major areas. The southernmost end of the central axis is the already built Lord's Mansion. There is an open space in front of the Lord's Mansion, which is reserved as a future square. Further north, there is the commercial street of the village. All the shops, inns, martial arts halls and other buildings in the village will be distributed on both sides of the commercial street.
The West District is a residential area. The southwest area mainly arranges the residential agricultural population, such as farmers, fruit farmers, vegetable farmers, lumberjacks, etc. The northwest area mainly arranges the residential commercial population, such as miners, blacksmiths, tailors, masons, merchants and other craftsmen. The northernmost end of the Northwest area is the built primary market.
The East District is a military zone and a science, education, culture and health zone. The southeast area is a science, education, culture and health zone. The future private schools, medical clinics, ancestral halls, and village temples will all be located here. The Northeast District is a military zone. The subsequent weapon workshops, strategic granaries, and the soon-to-be-built military camps will all be located here.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo spent the whole village planning while building a fence. One quarter of the fence has been built. After tomorrow, all the fences should be built in one day.
At dusk, Shi Wansui finally returned from patrol. The yellow horse was hung with pheasants, rabbits and other wild game, and a cloth bag was hung on the other side, and there was something moving inside.
Ouyang Shuo stopped the work in his hand, greeted him, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General, it seems that he has gained a lot?"
Shi Wansui quickly dismounted, clasped his fists and bowed, "I only met a few little thieves, it's not worth it. I found a toy for the adults, and I hope he can like it."
"Oh, I don't know what it is? I naturally believe in the general's vision."
Shi Wansui laughed and turned around and untied the cloth bag from the horse's back. He untied the cloth bag, and a pure black little wolf appeared in front of Ouyang Shuo.
The little guy was obviously not long ago, with big dark green eyes half-closed and half-open, which was very cute.
"Is this a young wolf cub?" Ouyang Shuo asked with some uncertainty.
Shi Wansui seemed a little proud, "Haha, to be precise, it should be a black wolf dog cub. He looks like a wolf, not a real wolf."
"Black wolfdog?! Not bad, not bad. The little guy should be a good hunting helper when he grows up."
Zhao Dexian and the others also surrounded each other and looked at the little boy in the cloth bag curiously. Seeing that everyone was so rare, Shi Wansui seemed even more contented. This was a straightforward man who could not hide his worries on his face.
Ouyang Shuo didn't want to sweep his interest and asked curiously: "I didn't expect that the general would be like a harvest when he went out. There must be a story in it? Why not tell everyone while everyone is here so that we can see the world." As he said that, he asked everyone to sit on the ground and form a circle.
Shi Wansui laughed, and was not nervous, so he sat down straight and began to tell his patrol experience today.
"As the lord's orders, I set out from the entrance of the village at noon and began to patrol the territory. It was peaceful all the way, but there were some small animals such as pheasants and hares on the left and right. I shot them down. Occasionally, I encountered one or two traitors and two traitors, so I had no mounts and stabbed them to death. On the way back, I encountered a group of wolf dogs surrounding wild goats. Without saying a word, I rushed forward and killed most of the wolf dogs. I followed the fleeing wolf dogs all the way, but I found their kennel. Of course, I picked them together, and unexpectedly saw this little boy in the kennel. Thinking that the lord might be useful, I stayed."
When Ouyang Shuo heard Shi Wansui mention the wild goat, he silently remembered it in his heart and had already made some mistakes. But it was getting late now, so he was ready to make plans tomorrow.
Not long after, Zhao Youfang and the other two who went out had built a primary logging farm and came back together. Starting tomorrow, the logging farm can be officially operated. Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo suggested that tonight, the meal for everyone, which can be regarded as celebrating the official establishment of Shanhai Village.
The only drawback is that everyone is a group of big men, and no one can cook. Fortunately, the wild game brought by Shi Longsui to entertain, otherwise the meal would be a big start and a bad end. Ouyang Shuo really hopes that among the refugees who will be released tomorrow, there will be a chef.
He arranged for Shi Wansui to stay in the east wing room, and at the same time asked him to arrange the night shift, Ouyang Shuo returned to his room in the main hall and prepared to rest.
Chapter completed!
