171 Filial piety and hard work

Zhan Xiaobai carried out a preliminary division of labor for all the players and NPCs in Xiaobai Village, and introduced different systems. In the future, it will definitely be straightened out, more refined, and a special person will be responsible for various affairs.

While he was making a department appointment on the jade interface, all players in the village received these system prompts:

"Xiaobai Village System News: The village head Xiaobai issued the following appointments: ....... member of the Ministry of Political Affairs. 180/9/12/21:52。 ”

......

These are the administrative system messages of Xiaobai Village, which can only be received by players in Xiaobai Village.

With a series of personnel appointments, the players of Xiaobai Village Online quickly started to talk, and most of them were excited, overjoyed, and satisfied. Of course, there are a small number of players who are frustrated and envious of this appointment.

But then again, there is nothing particularly unexpected about Zhan Xiaobai's appointment, but the previous general functions have been completely clarified, strengthened to varying degrees, or weakened the rights of some players.

Many players are well aware of the power and relationship of the bigwigs in Xiaobai Village, and the distribution of Xiaobai can be said to take into account the balance of interests of the vast majority of player organizations.

Zhan Xiaobai and the other six people spent most of the night arranging the players and NPCs from all over the village into various departments. Clarify the rights of all people, perform their own duties, and improve the efficiency of competition in the village.

Another point to emphasize is that the "Daxian Village Map" designed by Zhang Jiao comes with a hidden mission: "The heart is in the yellow scarf and the body is in the Han", which does not force the change of the existing camp in the player's village.

The news that Xiaobai Village was upgraded to a large village on the night of September 12 directly hit the player villages in all of China. Upgrading a village in this game is not an easy task, luck and strength, are equally important.

Hundreds of thousands of small villages have been established in 13 states and counties in China, and less than one-twentieth of them have been successfully upgraded to medium-sized villages in a matter of months. The vast majority of villages are still in the small village stage.

Among the medium-sized villages, there are only 500 truly powerful villages. In Liangzhou, there are no more than 20 powerful villages, six of which are concentrated in Wuwei County. Xiaobai Village broke through the barrier of the middle village and became a large village, which also means that Xiaobai Village finally stood out from the 500 player villages in China and firmly occupied the title of the first village in the world.

In Wuwei County,

Except for a small number of players who were overshadowed, most of the players and villages were happy to accept the upgrade of Xiaobai Village. Xiaobai Village has always been the number one in the world, and it is not unacceptable to continue to be the number one in the world.

Early the next morning, many villages in Wuwei County sent envoys to Xiaobai Village on horseback to congratulate them. After all, Zhan Xiaobai's image and reputation are still very high in the minds of most players in Wuwei County.

Liangzhou can be the first village in the world, which is also a rare pride for all Liangzhou players. Among the top 50 villages in the world, only Xiaobai Village, a lonely village in Liangzhou, is on the list, which cannot but be said to be a satire and stimulation for Liangzhou players.

When players in Liangzhou and players in other states meet offline, bragging about who and whose villages in which state are more at stake, Liangzhou players can only show off Xiaobai Village, and other villages are embarrassed to say it.

There were too many envoys from various villages, those who congratulated, those who asked for alliances, those who hoped to get a little benefit, those who hoped to deepen their relations, and those who wanted to contact their feelings.

For a whole day, there were more than 100 stagecoaches at the post station alone, so that the post stables could not accommodate so many horses, so they had to be urgently built and expanded.

Zhan Xiaobai spent half a day receiving these envoys, but there were too many envoys coming, and most of the things they talked about were trivial things, which was a waste of time. He simply threw all these reception things to Qiushui and some female players to do, and hurried away to do serious things.

Not only the players, but also the NPCs are here to join in the fun.

Liangzhou Thorn History, and Wuwei County Taishou, early the next morning, received a report from his subordinates Kuaimalai, and the player village in the governance, Xiaobai Village, was officially upgraded to a large tribe, bringing a high reputation to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou NPC assassin Shi Geng contempt got the good news, and was happy, and immediately ordered the Taishou of Wuwei County to reward Xiaobai Village, "This village has greatly increased the prestige of my Liangzhou, and immediately reward the village head, don't be too stingy, don't disappoint the heroes of the world!" It has caused my court to lose talents. ”

Wu Wei Taishou was a little embarrassed when he received this order. There are many rewards for this material, which exceeds the rules set by the imperial court. The reward is less, and it makes Thorn Shi unhappy, it's not easy to do.

Or Taishou assistant Jun Cheng, he immediately came up with an idea, "My lord, my county can recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and there is one person for each of the incorruptible, so it is better for us to simply recommend him as filial piety and give him a big gift." This does not violate the rules of the imperial court, but also satisfies Lord Thorn Shi. ”

Taishou was overjoyed, "Okay, since you have this big gift, it's better to save money and rewards and the like." Immediately send an envoy to Xiaobai Village to announce the news, so that the head of Xiaobai Township can come to Wuwei City when he has time, and the official will have a good chat with him. Ah, wait~, and let Xiaobai copy all the household registration information in his village and record it in the yamen of the county government. The village has met the requirements and opened the household registration transfer function, allowing the residents and villagers to move between the two places. ”

Jun Cheng immediately said, "Yes, my lord!" "And immediately set about it.

He sent an NPC messenger to set off from Wuwei City early in the morning, and the messenger arrived at Xiaobai Village on horseback, saying that there was something important to report to the village chief. The militia guards at the gate of the village saw that he was a messenger and did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly took him to the administrative compound and asked to see Zhan Xiaobai.

The NPC envoy entered the council hall, saw Zhan Xiaobai, and said with a little respect: "Township Chief, our county Taishou intends to promote you to the imperial court as the filial piety of the county this year, as a reward for your promotion to the first large village in the world. The official document of filial piety will be sent after a period of time, and you will be called up to serve in the imperial court. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was wondering what was the matter with Taishou sending a messenger to find him, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed.

At first, he thought that if he became the "largest village in the world" this time, the Wuwei government might reward him with a large amount of food, weapons and the like, but he never thought that the government would actually give this reward.

Filial piety by the government! He hadn't thought about such ecstatic things at all.

Because this is the first step into the political circle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is also the most important step. If you can't become filial piety, not only will it be difficult to be reused, but it will also be very detrimental to your own reputation and subjugation of NPCs.

"This brother, it's really hard for you to travel all the way. I wonder if Taishou-sama has anything else to say? ”

As Zhan Xiaobai spoke, he took out a hundred copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of the NPC messengers - stuffing money into the hands of officials, which had become a habit for him.

The NPC envoy weighed the heavy copper coin in his hand, his face was really happy, and he continued: "My lord, really, how embarrassing is this...... Lord Taishou has no other instructions, but the villain has a sentence that I don't know if to say or not. ”

"Speak!"

"Although Lord Taishou has the intention to raise you as filial piety, this filial piety is not so easy to do, and after becoming filial piety, you still need to accept the test of the imperial court. If there is no silver up and down to dredge up the relationship, even if filial piety is raised, it is likely to be eliminated and unable to serve as an official of the imperial court. ”

Zhan Xiaobai listened to the messenger's words, and "revealed" a difficult "color". Make a little copper coin, and he will take it out. But the appetite of the court officials is not ordinarily large. A "terrifying" NPC eunuch like the Ten Standing Servants can only be satisfied with thousands of taels of silver.

"Oh, there's no other way than to make money?"

"Hehe, if your lord can move the world, be favored by the important ministers of the court, and even go straight to the holy hearing, then everything will be spared, you will be penniless, and you will be able to prosper in official life. Otherwise, money is always indispensable. This villain has no idea, you can figure it out yourself. ”

The NPC envoy also told Zhan Xiaobai that he would copy a copy of the household registration and bring it back to the county government yamen for the record. and told Zhan Xiaobai that the household registration of Wuwei City and Xiaobai Village can already move to each other.

Zhan Xiaobai remembered that he was in Wuwei City, and he was looked at by all the NPC citizens, and he was not interested in the opening of this household registration. The skill NPCs of Wuwei City may not be willing to come to his Xiaobai Village, and their own artisan villagers will definitely not let them go to Wuwei City. Therefore, this function of hukou migration may not be used.

He asked Li Asan to take the envoy to copy the household register.

The NPC envoy stayed in Xiaobai Village for a day, brought back a copy of Xiaobai Village's household registration information, and returned to Wuwei.

The matter of filial piety has not been skimmed yet, so Zhan Xiaobai did not say it to others. He was busy dealing with village affairs, and in the blink of an eye, he left the matter of "filial piety and honesty" behind.

The NPC envoy of the court here has just left on the front foot, and the envoy of the Qiang tribe over there has come on the back foot.

Beigong Boyu, the great chief of the Qianghu tribe on the grassland, sent a Qiang envoy to congratulate Zhan Xiaobai and proposed to Zhan Xiaobai the willingness to strengthen exchanges.

The NPC Qianghu envoy said respectfully: "My big chief's meaning is very simple, that is, please go to my tribe more often with a few elders and others. Or my tribe will send more Qiang people to your Xiaobai Village as guests, and the two sides will strengthen exchanges and mutual trust. ”

Just listening to the words of the Qianghu envoy, it was clear that Beigong Boyu had a very obvious intention - to win over Xiaobai Village.

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, you want to win me over, I also want to use you! There is nothing wrong with mutual benefit. "This couldn't be better, and please reply to the Great Chief of Beigong, I will go back to your tribe as a guest when I have time." I have always had a good impression of your tribe and your chieftain, and I very much hope to strengthen the relationship between you and me. ”

Li Asan sent away the Taishou envoy, and when he came back, he was busy entertaining the Qianghu envoy.

For Zhan Xiaobai's means, Li Asan really admires the five-body throw. He has been in Liangzhou for decades, so he naturally knows that on the ground of Liangzhou, if he offends the powerful NPC forces such as the government, the Qiang tribe, and the local tyrants, it will be nothing to mess with, and he will definitely be wiped out.

Like Zhan Xiaobai, who can win over the government and the Qiang tribe at the same time, Li Asan is pleased and admired. For the rest, as long as they don't offend the local tyrants in Wuwei County, Xiaobai Village will not be easily attacked by NPC strong enemies.

The Qianghu envoy was in Xiaobai Village, Zhan Xiaobai personally accompanied, ate, drank and entertained guests in the village tavern and other places, and entertained the Qiang envoy very satisfactorily, deepening the relationship with the Qiang envoy.

Zhan Xiaobai sent away the Qianghu envoy again, and after a whole day, the time was spent accompanying the NPC envoy, and he lacked skills.

When he finally had a free time in the evening, he thought about it carefully, it seemed that nothing had been done in the past two days, and he was about to become a ****.

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked, this is not good. The current time is one day less, and it is not long before the Yellow Turban Uprising (the Yellow Turban Thirty-six Days Book Task, which directly cut three years of time), where can it withstand such consumption.

The strength of a village depends on whether it is strong or not, not by wooing an NPC. Whether it is the NPC government or the NPC Qiang tribe, they only look at their strength and do not recognize people, and they will turn their faces when they say that they will turn their faces.

He summoned Jian Ba, Li Asan and others overnight to inquire about the construction of the village.

"Sword Ba, how has the construction progress in the village been in the past two days?"

Jian Ba said with a smile: "I have been renovating various buildings in the village in the past two days, as long as the craftsmen in the village reach the advanced level, they can be replaced with high-level buildings to increase work efficiency." Houses, blacksmiths' workshops, carpenter's workshops, martial arts halls, taverns, inns, post houses, lumberyards have been renovated...... Wait a minute. In addition, a new village layout, as well as a new stone wall for the village, is being planned. When the stone is hoarded to a certain amount, construction begins. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was very satisfied, he had spent the past two days receiving the envoys. However, Jianba has completed the construction task of the Ministry of Urban Industry very well, so that the village buildings have been updated in time. Didn't really delay anything.

He said: "Very good, now the village needs a small amount of wood, so let some idle farmers go to Hutou Mountain to dig stones, and the village will hoard more stones to build a medium-level arrow tower with higher durability and defense." The Ministry of Urban Industry and the Diannong Yuan should pay attention to maintaining coordination, make rational use of human resources, and do not let redundant peasants be idle or waste on unimportant things. ”

Zhan Xiaobai turned his head and said to Li Asan again: "Ah San, how is the recruitment of new villagers in the Diannong Institute in the past few days?" ”

Li A Sanyu reported: "If a large number of villagers are recruited, by the end of this month, my village will not have enough food. By the middle of next month, it will be completely impossible to meet the food bills. The old man thought that this matter was related to the food comfort of my village, and he still needed to act cautiously. ”

When Zhan Xiaobai heard this, he fell into deep thought. Thinking about where to get food.

Jian Ba listened beside him, and said at this time: "Xiaobai, I think what Ah San said is not unreasonable." In the past, when there were only more than 100 farmers in small villages, we could still make up some fishery products or other things to supplement, and it was not a big problem. But now that the population is capped at 1500, all the food in the village is obviously not enough for so many NPCs. Even if you go to rob, you can't rob such a peasant's food. The risk is too high, but the benefit is small. The matter of recruiting NPC farmers is not in a hurry. At present, there is no shortage of peasant manpower for the time being. ”

The persuasion of Li Asan and Jian Ba finally made Zhan Xiaobai dispel the idea of rapidly expanding the peasant population.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, in the absence of food security, cautious recruitment is a correct choice.

He said, "Well, the peasants will not be recruiting for the time being. However, once you find that there are NPC craftsmen and special talents who appear in the village, they must be recruited immediately. The role of one craftsman is worth a hundred militiamen. ”

Li Asan immediately said: "Yes!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai continued: "As for absorbing and recruiting players from other villages who have professional skills in life and production, it will be up to the sword lord to do it, and they will all be classified as Tai Academy. ”

Jian Ba nodded: "No problem." ”

After Zhan Xiaobai explained these things, he thought about the ways to enhance the strength of his village, one is production and construction, and the other is armed armament. Everything else is subject to change and is not reliable.

Standing on the cusp of the world's first throne, although you can get a lot of benefits, you also need to take a lot of risks. If the above two points are not enough, once something unexpected happens, the first one who is unlucky will be Xiaobai Village.

"After producing 20 ox carts and horse-drawn carts for transportation, let the craftsmen of Na Pao Village repair the two catapults that were slightly damaged and start making catapults. During this time, we have to work hard. ”

Zhan Xiaobai stood up and looked at the night, "It's late, you guys can rest." When the affairs of the village are completed in the next few days, I plan to go to the grassland. It's going to be hard work for you two. ”

Li Asan hurriedly said: "Lord, this is what I should do." ”

Jian Ba was slightly puzzled: "Oh, you are going to visit the Qiang tribe?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Well, the lack of formed cavalry has always been one of our biggest weaknesses in the military. It would be more beneficial for us to solve it one day earlier. I'm going to go to the grasslands myself and see if there's any way to solve the problem of grain, grass and horses. ”
