The game time has been advanced for more than 3 months, which really makes Yang Rui at a loss! Whether it is the production and accumulation of various resources, or the expansion of the military power of Dashan Town, it is currently in a very critical stage, and the game time has advanced so much, and many things will be too late to be completed!

Especially the few tasks that Yang Rui has at hand at present, according to Yang Rui's original prediction, even if the game is advanced for another month or two, the time is almost enough for him to complete the task, and if it is advanced so suddenly, Yang Rui's plan will be completely disrupted!

If these missions wait for the Yellow Turban Uprising to break out, it is likely that several rebel humanoid NPC strongholds in the mission will all take refuge in the Yellow Turbans.

The most important thing is that if these tasks are not completed, you will not be able to do the task of sealing the box in the box! When County Lieutenant Liu handed over the task to Yang Rui, he explained it very clearly, and only after all the 5 bandit suppression tasks were completed could he open the sealed box and receive the tasks inside!

If Yang Rui has several bandit suppression tasks at hand, in addition to the difficulty of Jiangji Wutun bandit eradication task, the other ones can be completed at present, such as the Liukou of Aolai Valley, the water thieves of Wenshui and Wenyang, and the strongmen of the mountains and forests of Mazhuang where they are currently located, not to mention the thieves in Gaoqiao Town!

However, these strongholds are all resources! If you brush for one more day, you will be able to provide some more upgrade skill books and weapons and equipment for Dashan Town! In particular, the third-order archer produced here by the strongman of the Mazhuang Mountain Forest is a rare long-range power! There is also Wenshui Wenyang water thief, and the water power will definitely come in handy in many times in the future!

Even the thieves in Takahashi Market Town often produce some very good equipment and items, and if you take down their stronghold, you won't be able to do that anymore! According to Xiaohui, two days ago, he actually received a special architectural drawing ---- pawnshop drawing from the thieves in Gaoqiao Town!

As for the mountain bandits in the valley, they are completely within the scope of Dashan Town, and they are in the pocket of Dashan Town, so they are even more indispensable resources, and Yang Rui does not intend to take them down at all until the last moment!

Thinking about it, Yang Rui is not in a hurry, anyway, there is still a month, and there is still time to decide which one to take first, and then brush it for a few days!

It is imperative to further increase the scope of conscription in response to the impending Yellow Turban Uprising. With so much time in the game, the pressure to get together 3,000 soldiers before the Yellow Turban Uprising is high!

After more than a month of large-scale conscription, the total number of soldiers in Dashan Town now exceeds 1,500, but the first-order militia accounts for most of them! Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, the goal of 3,000 soldiers must be reached, and in the future, the number of recruits per day must be more than 50, which is nearly double the previous 30 per day!

However, after the system deduces the compensation, the number of displaced people has doubled again, and the number of villagers in Dashan Town has remained above seventy or eighty per day, even if more than 50 people are recruited every day.

According to the population ratio of Dashan Town, 1,500 soldiers account for almost a quarter of the total population, which means that three people have to raise one soldier. In the era of cold weapons in reality, this proportion is already very high, and under normal circumstances, "ten people take one soldier" is more reasonable.

In the game, the soldiers themselves can also get a lot of income, just like the current situation in Dashan Town, since most of the soldiers are farming humanoid NPCs, the money that bursts out every day is enough to support themselves.

At present, the total population of Dashan Town has reached more than 6,500 people, of which more than 1,400 are in Xiamo Village, and the rest are residents of Dashan Town. A large enough peasant base is also enough to support a period of strong conscription!

"Stop the search for timber, ore and other other resources, and use all the spare money every day to buy grain, no matter how the price of grain changes in the market, and select the list with the lowest price every day to let go of the purchase ......"

Yang Rui, who had stopped practicing basic internal skills, resumed his state of running back and forth, and the first thing he did when he returned to Dashan Town was to explain the matter of buying food in the pool.

At present, the price of grain has reached forty or fifty copper coins per catty, and once the Yellow Turban Rebellion breaks out, the price of grain will soon rise to a high price of seventy or eighty copper coins per catty, and will continue for a long time, so the top priority is to buy more grain as a strategic material reserve!

If it weren't for the fact that Dashan Town has a special market, I am afraid that the food that can be bought will be very limited. Under the current situation of comprehensive food shortage, there are not many people who are willing to sell the grain in their hands, and only in a special market like Dashan Town can some grain orders be collected!

"The lord is back!"

Yang Rui had just finished explaining the matter to Chi Zhong, and Wang Hai had already come to the Dashan Town Political Center to find him.

"Well, it just so happens that Chi Zhong and Qian Qiang are here, and I was about to talk to Uncle Wang Hai about continuing to expand the conscription."

"Uh, expanding conscription?"

Wang Hai's expression was dumb, he obviously didn't expect that Yang Rui would expand the conscription at this juncture! In his opinion, Yang Rui's previous recruitment of 30 soldiers every day was a bit too much, and now he has to continue to expand the range, which is really a bit of a reckless feeling!

However, this time Wang Hai was only stunned for a moment, and did not object in the following discussion, which made Yang Rui surprised.

"Lord, the main purpose of the little old man is to report a good news!"

When Yang Rui and the others finalized the matter of recruiting soldiers, Wang Hai immediately talked about another matter.

Good news? Could it be that Cheng Yu is willing to stay in Dashan Town?! Yang Rui couldn't help but get excited, but in the end, what Wang Hai said was not this matter.

"Tell the lord, when Dashan Village was established not long ago, the militia in my territory had found high-quality ore in the wild boar brush point, I wonder if the lord still remembers? Now this source has been found! The quality of the iron ore mined from this source is no less than that of Linwen Village, and it is likely to be a rich mine! ”

"Oh? I didn't expect to find an iron-rich mine! ”

Although the supply of iron ore has been solved, Yang Rui is still very happy to find an iron ore at the door of Dashan Town. At present, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to break out, and Yang Rui has reason to believe that the demand for iron ore will only continue to increase, and its value will naturally rise!

"Yes! Lord. Since the last time he found those few pieces of iron ore from the monster refresh stronghold, Xiao Lao'er has been keeping an eye on the situation of the iron ore around him, but unfortunately he has not found anything! It wasn't until recently, when a quarry was being built a few miles away from the boar stronghold, that the villagers inadvertently dug up a few pieces of iron ore and found the vein......"

Yang Rui asked this question, and Wang Hai naturally told in detail about the discovery of iron ore.
