74 Prelude to the trade war
After hearing the words of Ah Fei and Chunqiu Shaoxia announcing that they were going to start a war with Tiger and Leopard Village, Jian Ba immediately persuaded: "The purpose of the Black Tiger is just to take the opportunity to win the right to take the initiative in trade, so as to gain benefits in trade. We can't take the liberty of going to war with a neighboring village that is not too weak, because it will consume huge construction resources and seriously hinder the construction of the village. We are still in a critical period of construction, and we cannot afford a small conflict to affect the construction of the village. ”
Li Asan was uneasy when he saw that the two elders Ah Fei and Spring and Autumn Shaoxia advocated the use of force, and when he heard that the Sword Boss Elder opposed the raising of troops, Li Asan immediately took the opportunity to interject and express his opinion: "Lord, the old man thinks that what Elder Sword Boss said is good, once the war starts, it will hurt his vitality too much, and he doesn't know how many people will die." ”
Players may feel indifferent to death. But Li Asan is an NPc, his courage is not much stronger than ordinary ordinary people, he is very afraid of war and death, if he can avoid it, he will never want to get involved.
Zhan Xiaobai looked at Qiushui, who was meditating on the right side, and asked, "Qiushui, what do you think?" ”
Qiushui smiled: "War is for profit. If I can defeat Haw Par Village in one fell swoop and seize their iron mines, I will naturally approve of it. ”
Zhan Xiaobai asked everyone: "How likely is it that the Haw Par Village will be destroyed in one fell swoop?" ”
Jian overbearing: "The chance is no more than 5%, and Tiger and Par Village is the second strongest village in this area after ours." Although their overall strength is much inferior to ours, they have always attached great importance to the development of armed forces, which can be seen from their conflict with Daqi Village upstream. Now they have a large number of iron weapons, and their force has risen to a higher level. I don't think we have the power to break their village easily. ...... If the war stalemate, a long-term war of attrition is formed. Then we don't have the strength to build the village. ”
Spring and Autumn Shaoxia and Ah Fei quickly calmed down.
They also know that trade conflicts cannot be resolved by force alone.
Zhan Xiaobai pondered for a while and issued a series of instructions.
"The intention of the Black Tiger is to gain dominance in trade. In the absence of a huge advantage, he himself would never have taken a huge risk to wage a war with us. We can't afford it, and he can't afford it. Therefore, Xiaobai Village and Haw Par Village will be limited to a short-term competition of trade strength. It ends with one of the parties giving in. So we have to take the initiative as much as possible. ”
"Ah Fei, go investigate their hole cards and see what they dare to fight with us. Pay special attention to their weapons, the abilities of special NPc in the village. ”
"Sword Lord, you investigate the market in the nearby villages, and pay attention to the price fluctuations of medicines, iron ore, and iron weapons. Since they dare to call out. Then we will tell them in the market who controls the market and who is the owner of the area. ”
"Ah San, copper coins are a necessity for trade wars. From now on, slow down the outflow of copper coins, strengthen capital reserves, and avoid a large flow of copper coins to Haw Par Village. ”
Finally, Zhan Xiaobai stood up and said in a firm tone: "This conflict must end with the submission of Haw Par Village!" ”
The crowd immediately shouted, "Yes! ”
Haw Par Village.
After listening carefully to the reports of Shen Biao and the other two players, Black Tiger unexpectedly did not blame Shen Biao for his recklessness.
Shen Biao was afraid of the black tiger and was a little uneasy: "Big brother, it's all my fault for being impulsive for a while and messing things up...... Why don't I apologize? Renegotiate with them? ”
The black tiger shook his head and said indifferently: "No need, you did a good job." Do you still remember, when you said that Haw Par Village and Xiaobai Village were separated in two, what was Xiaobai's expression? ”
Shen Biao shook his head blankly, he just said a happy thing at that time, where would he pay attention to these things.
A player hurriedly said: "But Xiaobai didn't get angry, just took a bite or else our proposal to exchange weapons for medicine." His attitude seems to be very resolute, and I don't know why. ”
The Black Tiger sneered: "Because iron ore is cheap, and weapons are expensive. I don't understand this, so go out first. ”
Shen Biao hurriedly went out with the other two players.
The Black Tiger sat alone on the first seat, thinking about something that had happened in the last two months. Black Tiger knew that since he discovered this open-pit iron mine and established a village here, he was sure that he would be one of the best villages.
Open-pit iron ore is very easy to dig and is a necessity for the manufacture of weapons in the medium term, and it is very profitable. With this alone, he could easily get ahead of the other villages without much effort. But what made him very depressed was that Xiaobai Village on the other side of the river had the +HP blood value medicine necessary for leveling before him. In order not to let the level strength of the core players in the village lag behind the neighboring villages, he had to exchange cheap iron ore for +HP blood potion.
There are more than 50 core players in Haw Par Village, and they are constantly growing slowly, and the blood medicine consumed every day is huge. More than half of the iron ore dug up by tigers and leopards was used to exchange for medicines. The remaining iron ore was sent to the most secret place in the village, where it was supplied to the blacksmith to build and increase the skill level.
Of course, this huge effort has also paid off handsomely, and the level of the core players of Haw Par Village is higher than that of all villages within a radius of tens of miles - except for Xiaobai Village. The players in their Tiger and Par Village were able to easily repair the players in Daqi Village precisely because they had enough blood medicine in their hands.
Previously, he had to endure extremely unfair trade agreements for blood medicine, but now the situation is different, and his blacksmith has become a high-level blacksmith, able to create various types of high-quality +3~+4 iron weapons. More than a dozen such high-quality weapons can be produced stably every day. He made up his mind that he could no longer give away the iron ore resources that belonged to him to others cheaply.
"Hmph, I already have more than 2,000 blood pills in my hand, even if you stop supplying me blood medicine, what can you do with me! In a day or two, the Longyou market will be full of high-quality ironware, and let's see if you Xiaobai is in a hurry to buy a large number of high-quality weapons. Or my black tiger can't bear it first, buy your blood medicine! I have been preparing for this day for more than half a month. ”
While thinking about it, Heihu walked out of the small courtyard and instructed several famous henchmen: "Don't be lazy, you guys should pay attention to strengthening security checks in the village, and don't let strangers approach forbidden places and mining areas at will." "You, you few, stop playing, tell you to go to the nearby village to contact the buyer, are you done?" Village chiefs and professional businessmen with deep financial resources are invited to visit us as much as possible. "Why are you guys still here, didn't you tell you to level up?"
"Hehe, Brother Tiger don't worry~, you don't need to tell me about this little thing, it will be done." "Let's go, brothers, let's go to other villages!" "Brother Tiger, I'm waiting for the blacksmith to make me a weapon at hand, I'll finish it in a while, and I'll go to level up right away."
A silent dark dynasty began to appear between Xiaobai Village and Haw Par Village on both sides of the river.
