198 Rapid establishment of villages
In Liangzhou, the gathering of more than fifty Liangzhou medium-sized player village chiefs convened by Beigong Boyu, the great chief of Xiqiang, ended hastily.
Under the pressure of NPCs, Liangzhou Village inevitably began to move towards several different camps, laying the root of the future "chaotic" war. Players across the world also saw some signs from this gathering - the NPC power is strong, and villages in other states and counties will soon face this pressure to choose a side. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, NPC factions will turn against each other, and bloody battles will also break out between player villages of different factions.
The Player Village, which has the foresight, has already begun to prepare a countermeasure.
As of the end of the Grassland Festival, about 23 of the 36 volumes of the Yellow Turban Book of Heaven have been completed, and the time has advanced to one year and eleven months. The course of history is moving forward slowly but surely.
Throughout the world, several player villages have been upgraded to large villages. Including the world-famous villages such as Xiaobai Village, Silent Village, Shengshi Hantang Village, and Xiaoye Village, about ten villages have been upgraded to large villages. Due to the large number and complexity of the Heavenly Books, these processes are no longer mentioned.
After Zhan Xiaobai got Beigong Boyu's personal promise, he left the Beigong tribe with a total of ten people, including Ah Fei, Lu Shan, Zhou Meng, Cheng Jian, and the Light and Dark Clan.
They borrowed nine ordinary horses from the tribe, plus a wild horse king, and galloped into the depths of the savannah. I found a place to build a village.
Zhan Xiaobai's level is not enough to ride the level 35 Wild Horse King, and only the level of the two NPCs, Lu Shan and Cheng Jian, is enough to ride it.
Ordinary players on the grassland, mainly in the edge of the grassland, with the village as the backing, it is convenient to go back and forth. There is no player village as a base in the depths of the grassland, so it is naturally difficult for them to go deeper. So the deeper you go into the grassland, the fewer players there are, and the players born here will soon die elsewhere. The main thing here is that the NPC Qiang tribe is active, and it does not help the player, and the ubiquitous horse thief wolf pack will also easily clear the lone player out of the grassland.
The Xiqiang grassland is vast and the terrain is complex. Rolling grasslands, hills, cliffs, towering mountains, lakes, rivers, swamps, basins, deserts. It is important to choose a good terrain to build a village.
Two days later, they arrived at the foot of a majestic mountain in ten horses.
The old man of Lu Shan is very old, and when he saw this mountain range, he was very excited, and pointed to the foot of the mountain and said: "My lord, this big mountain is called Chiling, and it is a key place for the Qiang people. After the Chiling Mountains passed, there was a western sea, where there was the most fertile pasture in the grassland. ”
Zhan Xiaobai looked at the towering mountains and nodded, "Well, let's find a dangerous place in this Chiling and build a village." ”
Ah Fei was puzzled: "Chiling? What kind of place is it? I haven't heard of it! ”
Zhan Xiaobai raised his whip and pointed to the foothills in the distance, and said with a smile: "This Chiling is also the name of the Han Dynasty. Princess Tang Wencheng passed by this place when she married Turpan, and later renamed it Sun Moon Mountain. Bounded by this mountain, to the west is Qinghai Lake, as well as the most fertile pastures in the grassland. Let's go, drive! ”
A group of ten people roared to the sound of horses' hooves and went up the mountain. Occasionally, I encountered a large group of high-level Qiang soldiers, and I was not embarrassed when I saw that they all had the waist cards of the Iron Spear Alliance.
Passing through the Chiling Pass, we went up to a foothill.
Looking from afar, I saw the vast and ethereal West Sea in the distance. The vastness of the West Sea was beyond the expectations of all of them, and they stood on such a high place that they couldn't even see the edge of the West Sea.
Ah Fei, Guangguang and others exclaimed, "Damn, no wonder it's called Xihai, it's so big, you can fight a sea battle in it." "There should be a lot of fish in it, but it's a pity that this place is too far away from our Xiaobai Village, otherwise there is no need to worry about food."
After watching for a while, the sun was about to set. Only then did everyone remember what was going on and began to look for the address of the village here. Safety is the number one priority in this small village.
In a large canyon at the foot of the Chiling Mountains, they found a place where they could build a village.
The Grand Canyon is ten miles long and five miles wide, with a wide hinterland. There is flowing water in the valley, fertile soil, can grow food, and self-sufficiency should be no problem. As long as you build a defensive wooden fence or a stone wall at both ends, you can defend the entire canyon.
Here, all they have to deal with are horse thieves and wolves, and there is no other threat. Moreover, this is a dense area of the Qiang tribe, with many NPC Qiang people, and there are actually no horse thieves and wolves here.
More than a dozen of them found a safe place to live in the canyon, and the next day as soon as the dawn appeared, they began to build the Yellow Turban Village.
Zhan Xiaobai took out a drawing of the Yellow Turban Village and handed it to Lu Shandao: "Lu Lao, you will build this village." ”
The old hunter Lu Shan was stunned, he didn't expect Zhan Xiaobai to let him be the village chief of the small village, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord, I can't help it, the old man is a grass people, and he is old and weak, how can he be qualified for the position of the village chief?" It would be more appropriate for Elder Ah Fei to serve as the village head. ”
Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "No, you must be the village chief." I have an agreement with the big chief, only people from the Qiang clan can build a village here. Besides, Ah Fei is my right-hand man, but if you want to go back to Liangzhou with me, how can you stay here as the village head? You're the only one here who can tame wild horses, so you're definitely going to want to stay here. Everyone else is going back with me. You say don't you? ”
Ah Fei originally wanted to be the head of the village, but when he heard Zhan Xiaobai's words, he immediately dispelled his mind. He has to follow his eldest brother to fight everywhere, and he can't see players for ten days and a half without this effort.
The rest of the people also nodded, and the five members of the Light and Dark Clan would definitely not stay. Zhou Meng is now Zhan Xiaobai's number one guard and can't stay. Cheng Jian was bent on following Zhan Xiaobai to make contributions, and he didn't want to stay in this place. The only one who can stay is Lu Shan.
The old hunter Lu Shan was very excited, and bowed down and said: "Thank you for the trust of the lord, the old man will definitely swear to serve!" ”
Ding dong!
NPC Lu Shan worships Zhan Xiaobai as the main father, officially by the identity of ordinary villagers in Xiaobai Village, specially designed for Zhan Xiaobai's personal subordinates.
Zhan Xiaobai was a little surprised and surprised.
Hurry up and let Lu Shan get up.
"Drawings for the Construction of Small Villages - Yellow Turban Villages": 1. The maximum number of villagers is 100, and there is an administrative courtyard. Belongs to the Yellow Turban faction. 2。 Recruit Yellow Turban Farmers [Farmers who believe in the teachings of the Taiping Dao].
Lu Shan uses the Yellow Turban Village drawings. A simple yellow turban administrative courtyard appeared in the middle of the canyon in an instant. It comes with 100 wood, 100 stones, 500 catties of grain, and 500 copper coins.
Lu Shan set Zhan Xiaobai and A Fei as the elders of Keqing, and had part of the management authority of the village. Then, they began to recruit villagers.
This small village does not need to be built to be prosperous, its only purpose is to let Xiaobai Village have a base here, which can directly recruit NPC labor, assist Lu Shan in building pastures, and domesticate war horses.
Now that the players are experienced, they don't need to build a small village as slowly as before to accumulate strength to develop, and they can be built at a fast pace.
Zhan Xiaobai used an explosive method to expand the population of Yellow Turban Village.
He first recruited an NPC, the Yellow Turban Farmer.
But I don't know why, but it was a yellow turban herdsman who ran out. Moreover, this Yellow Turban herdsman is also an NPC Qiang person. Probably because this is the Xiqiang grassland.
Yellow Turban Herdsmen: Qiang herdsmen who believe in Taiping Dao, level 10, force 1, and the rest belong to "sex": none. Satisfaction and morale are both 30.
Zhan Xiaobai didn't care so much, as long as it was a labor force, he was directly recruited into the village.
Eleven people began to build thatched huts, each of which could accommodate 10 people, and cost 10 units of wood, which was just enough to build 10.
It took a day to build the ten thatched huts.
Early the next morning, he gave a monetary reward of 700 copper, which quickly raised the satisfaction and morale of this NPC Yellow Turban herdsman to an extremely high value, and raised the satisfaction and morale of the entire small village. (Village chiefs and players are not counted in the village's satisfaction and morale.) )
As a result, the village's appeal to NPCs quickly increased. One after another, yellow turban herders began to appear in the village. Zhan Xiaobai did not recruit immediately, because their satisfaction and morale were both around 30, and letting them enter the village at this time would quickly reduce the satisfaction and morale of the entire village, and reduce the attractiveness of the village to NPCs.
Just two hours later, more than 150 Yellow Turban herders were drawn out of the village's administrative courtyard, strongly begging to join the Yellow Turban Village.
Zhan Xiaobai selected the strongest yellow turban herdsmen, about 45 men and 45 women, and joined the village at one time. As soon as the average satisfaction and morale of the village fell to around 30, the attractiveness of the village was greatly reduced, and the rest of the Yellow Turban herders dispersed.
At this time, Zhan Xiaobai took back 650 copper from the first Yellow Turban herdsman, and only kept 50 copper for him as a reward. Before the yellow turban herdsman could cover the copper coins, most of the money was withdrawn, and he suddenly cried with a sad face.
In less than two hours, in the early morning, the population of the Yellow Turban Village had expanded and was almost full.
Ah Fei looked at the herdsmen who had been recruited full of yards, and was dumbfounded: "Big brother, strong!" ”
"Small!"
Zhan Xiaobai clapped his hands and smiled, and then shouted to everyone: "The most critical thing now is the food problem. The five of you take 45 female herders to catch fish in the stream in the canyon, and you teach them how to do it. Lu Lao, you immediately take 45 male herders to the vicinity outside the canyon to catch wild sheep and the like, and domesticate them, turning them into domestic animals for food. Be fast, or everyone will go hungry today. Cheng Jian, you will patrol the vicinity inside and outside the canyon to see if there are any dangerous beasts or the like, and come back to report. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone listened to the order, shouted in unison, and hurried to work.
Zhan Xiaobai, A Fei, and Zhou Meng patrolled the canyon and checked the canyon terrain around.
