Zhan Xiaobai asked Jian Ba to be in charge of the acquisition of raw materials, and asked Li Asan to provide blood medicine and weapons. Sword Tyrant sent dozens of henchmen to villages within a radius of thirty miles to buy raw materials. By the time they had finished deploying the mission, it was already late.

It will take several days for the acquisition to bear fruit, so there is no urgency. That night, the boss of the Yiqi Gang, Yiqi Yuntian, invited guests to the tavern, and Zhan Xiaobai and several elders went to visit. Set up a table of side dishes, chatted about what he had seen and heard in Wuwei, Zhan Xiaobai said that there was already a player who had learned the martial arts skills, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and even wanted to meet him for a while to see how powerful he was.

Have a good time and have nothing to do all night.

At dawn the next day, Zhan Xiaobai got up early, intending to deal with a lot of affairs left over from the past two days. Out of the wing, it happened that Li Asan was also in the small courtyard, and hurriedly came up and said: "Lord, the old man hasn't reported the village situation to you yet, I don't know if the lord is free now?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "Well, I'm going to go to the disabled veteran and the carpenter now to see how to use the level 10 weapon synthesis blueprint, so that I can make a level 10 light spear as soon as possible." Let's just talk as we go. ”

Li Asan said yes. They walked out of the administrative courtyard and towards the artisan quarter. Although it's still early, there are already quite a few players active in the village.

Li Asan followed Zhan Xiaobai's side and reported: "There are two things that the old man wants to report: the first thing is the grain harvest and expenditure in February, at the end of February, my village collected 7,312 catties of grain, and the remaining 2,000 catties of grain from the cottage, deducting hundreds of catties of consumption, as well as 500 catties to the horse thief, 1,500 catties to Jiangjia Village, the remaining grain in my village is about 7,000 catties, enough for the current villagers to eat in March, with a surplus of about 1,300 catties." However, once it is upgraded to a medium-sized village, if the number of villagers increases dramatically to 500, I am afraid that this surplus of food will not be able to cope with it. Moreover, in the small river near my village, the production of small fatty fish in the river is very limited. Therefore, the old man suggested that after upgrading to a medium-sized village, do not immediately expand the recruitment of NPc villagers, and wait for the food reserves in the village to be more full. ”

Zhan Xiaobai nodded, the food problem is a bit of a headache. If the grain production of farmland cannot be increased, it will be difficult for the population to expand.

"I have my own opinion on this matter, you can go on."

Li Asan hurriedly continued: "The second matter is my village's taxes, trade balances, and various products in my village. At present, there are four types of products in our village, medicine, wood, iron, chicken and poultry breeding. Among them, woodware, chickens and poultry are mainly self-produced and sold. +5HP Potions, Iron Weapons, Wooden Shields[+1 Defense], and Martial Arts Halls are the pillars of foreign trade and can bring in a lot of revenue. The expenses are mainly the wages of the villagers and the fees paid to the players. The financial situation is good, and the copper coin reserve is maintained at about 4 yuan, which is slowly increasing ...... every day. ”

Li Asan explained all the trade balance data in detail.

After listening to this, Zhan Xiaobai said with satisfaction: "It's a good job, it's really hard for you this time." It is necessary to assist me in handling village affairs, and also to make medicines. ”

Li Asan said happily: "There is the lord to set an example and take the lead." How dare the old man be lazy? The lord is a man with great ambitions, and the old man must assist the lord in taking care of the affairs of the village and laying the cornerstone for the future cause. ”

Zhan Xiaobai shook his head and smiled. Ambition? Hehe, the ambition to dominate the Three Kingdoms is indeed quite big, but you still need to be cautious and steadfast in development, otherwise you will take a wrong step and fall short.

Zhan Xiaobai took the old village chief to the carpenter's house and found the carpenter. Then he took the two of them to the martial arts hall together and found the disabled veteran who was teaching players basic swordsmanship. Let the disabled veteran put aside the matter of teaching martial arts, and the four of them came to the courtyard where the blacksmith shop was located to study the matter of the level 10 synthetic weapon drawings.

Zhan Xiaobai handed over the weapon drawings to the disabled veteran and carpenter, and asked, "Can this weapon be manufactured?" ”

The disabled veteran took the weapon drawings like a baby and looked at them carefully. The carpenter was also very surprised by the thing, and hastily took it from the disabled veteran's hand. The two got together and argued, and it took a while before they came up with a result.

The disabled veteran sighed, respectfully returned the drawings to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Lord, it's the first time I've seen this kind of drawing with the carpenter. I was originally a blacksmith and could only make agricultural tools, but I later learned to build a level 10 iron sword, a level 10 iron knife, and a level 20 iron gun in the barracks. The carpenter brother only knows some rough carpentry work. As for whether you can make a synthetic weapon of iron and wood, you still need to try it to find out. Please wait, the carpenter and I will start working immediately. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "Okay, I'll see how you make it here." ”

Disabled veterans and carpenters hurriedly got to work.

The disabled veteran took an inferior iron ingot and burned it in a furnace to create the light spearhead of two feet long iron, flattened and edged on both sides, as shown on the drawings. The carpenter returned to the carpenter's shop to get tools, and a long piece of hardwood, which was machined into a spear handle that was three feet long as shown on the drawings.

Both of these tasks are relatively simple, and they do not pursue how good the manufacturing is, but only the success of the experiment, so they are completed without much effort. Disabled veterans cool light spearheads with cold water.

Zhan Xiaobai personally picked up the spearhead and spear handle, wanting to put them together. But as soon as he let go, the two objects fell off. He thought for a moment and said to himself, "Can't wood and iron be systematically recognized?" It could be that only the maker can put them together, and you two will give it a try. ”

Both the disabled veteran and the carpenter tried, but they still couldn't fit together. They shook their heads in shame.

Zhan Xiaobai couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on?" How to use the level 10 weapon synthesis blueprint? ”

Li Asan was already watching from the side, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord, as far as the old man knows, I am afraid that you have to be a carpenter and a blacksmith at the same time to synthesize this weapon." ”

Zhan Xiaobai asked: "People who learn carpenter and blacksmith skills at the same time?" Where can you find this kind of talent? ”

Li Asan knew that he could play a big role again, so he couldn't help but smile excitedly: "The lord may have forgotten one thing, when the skill of the craftsman reaches the advanced level, it is allowed to accept apprentices. The veteran brother and the carpenter brother are now senior craftsmen. So it's easy to find someone who learns both woodworking and ironworking. Each senior craftsman is allowed to accept three apprentices and teach a skill to each other. Therefore, I can add 3~6 craftsmen to my village. As for whether it is 3 or 6, the stakes are very high at this time, and the old man does not dare to make a claim, so please make a decision. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised, "Okay! Ah San, you immediately find 3 suitable NPc villagers...... Slow, or find 5. Among them, 2 people learn woodwork, 2 people learn ironware making, and 1 person learns both, so this combination is the most appropriate! ”

Li Asan went to the NPc villagers to apprentice. It didn't take long for him to bring in 5 young NPc villagers. "Lord, the old man found that these five people have the highest talent."

Zhan Xiaobai personally presided over a simple apprenticeship ceremony.

The five villagers kowtow to the disabled veteran and the carpenter, and then their status changed, and they officially became beginner carpenters and blacksmiths from farmers, and were taught all the skills of carpenters and blacksmiths. Of course, the skills are all entry-level.

One of them is a carpenter and a blacksmith at the same time.

Zhan Xiaobai handed him the blueprint of the level 10 spear weapon and asked him to synthesize the weapon.

With a ding-dong, the level 10 weapon blueprint disappeared in an instant.

Two items combined, one light long weapon, appeared in the hands of the dual-class craftsman. The Tinkerer's system prompt reads, "Obtain the Light Spear Crafting Skill".

Light Spear: Can be used by level 10 characters, +1 Attack, +1 Piercing. More than one zhang and three feet, a light foot pawn with a medium-sized long weapon in both hands, weighing about 10 catties. Restraint Target: Light Cavalry. (Additional Effect: +1 Thorn Attack Weapon.) ）
