118 Borrowing of grain and false accounts

In the weapon workshop, the NPC old hunter Lu Shan spent a small half a day making a few ordinary style bows: 1 level 10 short bow, 1 level 15 wooden bow, and 1 level 20 hardwood hunting bow. These things are small for him, and there is no technical difficulty.

After becoming proficient in his hands, he began to craft a level 25 enhanced hunting bow. This level 25 strengthened hunting bow is a bit more complicated, and the medium-grade hardwood required is all made by the carpenter and sent to him.

The little beggar suddenly slipped into the weapon workshop, and was very curious about the bow and arrows, and asked the old hunter for the level 10 short bow. The old hunter didn't care too much, and gave him the gadget directly, and the little beggar ran to the fire family Xiaobao to ask for 10 short arrows, and ran happily to the point where he didn't know where to play.

The old hunter began to devote himself to crafting a level 25 enhanced hunting bow - Xiaobai Village now only had enough materials to make a pair of such a level 25 enhanced hunting bow.

First, to make the bow handle, he took two bendable materials [hickory] with good elasticity and toughness, which were about 120 cm long. The stem of the bow is about 5 cm wide in the middle and narrows at the ends until it reaches 1.5 cm. Grooves are carved about 1.25 cm from the end of the shank to secure the bowstring. After the bow handle is sharpened and shaped, a layer of grease is applied to the surface.

The tread of the bow handle is pasted with horns, and then reinforced with tendons and high-quality fish glue, and the peach skin is pasted on the outside. The bow is a double-curved bow, the tip of the bow is made of pads, and the middle of the bow is inlaid with a piece of warm wood for easy holding.

The bowstring is made of beef tendon and wrapped with silk thread. The handle is slightly taut when the string is secured – it is only when the bow is pulled apart that the handle bends further and tightens, providing considerable spring. Fasten the bowstring with a loop on the groove of the bow shank, then circle it two and a half times.

After a lot of effort, a set of processes was completed, and a level 25 strengthened hunting bow was made.

[Enhanced Hunting Bow] - Level 25, an intermediate ranged weapon, used with arrows. Restraint Target: Light Infantry, Light Cavalry. A good bow, often used by experienced old hunters.

"Sexual" ability: "Shooting" range is 100 meters, and strength needs to be 10 points.

Consumable materials: hickory x2, beef tendon x1, high-quality fish gelatin x10, silk x5, keratin x5, grease x5.

After making this bow, the old hunter had no ox tendon materials, so he had to make a level 20 hunting bow. He also did not forget to guide the fire family Xiaobao to make arrows. After all, a good bow is not enough, but also a good arrow.

The level 20 birch arrow can meet the needs of the level 20~25 hunting bow.

[Birch Arrow] - Level 20, a mid-range weapon that can be used with an intermediate-level bow. Restraint Target: Light Infantry, Light Cavalry.

Sexuality: +2 Attack, Durability 30.

Consumable Materials: Iron Hammer x1, Birch x1, Pheasant Feather Feather x1.

The master and apprentice were repeatedly studying a large number of good materials, pondering how to process them into high-quality bows and arrows.

Liuyu Feixue will have the [cramp] skill, and is escorted to the wild by a group of masters from Xiaobai Village in the village to look for bison, rhinos, and deer. The [Trap] skill of the Flying Hunter on the Grass is combined with the Elder Sword Tyrant to place hidden traps at the wooden fence around the village to increase the defensive power of the wall. The other two apprentices of the old hunter each found a job to do.

......

The little beggar took a small broken bow and went to play, and when he was interested, he suddenly regarded the dog-headed military master Gou Buyi as an imaginary enemy—he knew Gou Buyi's origin. Ya Ya shouted to fight and kill, chasing the village and running, "Dog-headed bandit, immediately stop and surrender to General Ben, and shout three times to spare your life, otherwise General Ben will want your life." ”

Gou Bu hugged his head and scolded, helpless against this little ancestor.

happened to meet the deputy village chief Li Asan, Li Asan hurriedly confiscated the little beggar's weapon, gave him a lecture, and locked him in the hut for half a day. The little beggar was so angry that he had to cut his clothes in the house.

......

Li Asan found Zhan Xiaobai in the courtyard and stepped forward to report: "Lord, the food in my village is about to run out, I don't know what arrangements you have?" ”

Zhan Xiaobai was inquiring about the various materials in the village at the moment, his face was a little heavy, and he nodded: "Well, in a few days, we will collect grain, but our surplus grain is only enough for 1 day, I'm afraid it won't last until that time." I've been thinking about this for the past two days. ”

"Once the food is exhausted, the morale of the villagers will plummet, affecting the operation of the village, which is very detrimental to the construction of the village. ...... The lord looks very calm, is there a good solution to it? ”

"There are several ways, but I don't know if it will work."

Four hundred villagers is very beneficial to increasing the speed of village construction, but it is also a big food burden.

Zhan Xiaobai groaned in the courtyard, deliberating on the feasibility of several methods. There are only two ways to go: reducing personnel and increasing food.

Attrition is to convert NPC villagers into NPC militia and transfer them to the player at a low price, (NPC villagers and villages belong to the support relationship, and NPC militia and the player also belong to the support relationship.) This transfer does not cause a change in the morale of the NPC villagers, and the player only needs to ensure the militia's normal food supply. ）

Increasing grain is nothing more than asking for food from others. But at the end of the month, most of the villages had little food left.

Zhan Xiaobai set his eyes on Pei Yuanshao.

Pei Yuanshao has stored tens of thousands of catties of grain in the village this month, and after deducting the withdrawal, there are still nearly 6,000 catties.

That night, when more than ten horse thieves went to Xiaobai Village to get food under the leadership of Wang Laohu, Zhan Xiaobai asked him to bring a little word to Pei Yuanshao, wanting to talk to Pei Yuanshao. In the past month, he has also become familiar with this group of horse thieves, and it is easier than before to talk about things.

Wang Laohu smacked his lips, "My eldest brother hasn't been free for the past two days!" ”

Zhan Xiaobai hurriedly asked, "Oh, what's wrong?" Please also talk about Brother Wang. ”

Wang Laohu didn't mean to keep the information secret at all, scolded and told everything, and said angrily: "Damn, during this time, there are often a few groups of Qianghu horse thieves who cross the border to get food, and my eldest brother is taking Cheng Lao Er and his brothers to fight with them." The Qianghu thieves were very hard to contain, and many brothers died, and this matter could not be finished in three or two days. ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Then what can I help with?" ”

Wang Laohu glared and said, "You? How can you help? He looked up to the sky and laughed, "If you kid can help, then my Wang Laohu can't walk sideways." ”

Zhan Xiaobai said with a smile: "I'm not good at field warfare, but I have some experience in dealing with cavalry." I have a batch of weapons here, and I want to give them to Chief Pei. I don't know if Brother Wang wants to take a look? Your satisfaction is guaranteed. ”

Wang Laohu said disdainfully: "What kind of weapon can you have?" Take it up and take a look. ”

Zhan Xiaobai asked people to bring several bundles of iron lumps and throw them on the ground, at least hundreds.

Iron Quinoa: A level 20 defensive weapon that can be crafted with advanced blacksmith skills. Pierce attack, durability 5/5, use 5 times.

When Wang Laohu saw these little things that were not slippery, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted in surprise: "Damn, Iron Quinoa, this thing is a good thing for the Yin people, why did you get so much." ”

"Be prepared! Brother Wang, how do you look at these weapons? Use them to yin those Qianghu horse thieves, and when the two sides were running, they suddenly scattered a large piece of it, which was sure to make them tricked, and people turned on their backs. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled, I originally wanted you to taste it, but since we have established a "mutually beneficial" relationship, it will not come in handy. It's not bad to make a deal with it.

Wang Laohule shouted, his eyebrows trembling with joy, "Okay! My Wang Laohu likes the tone of this yin person, and Brother Bai really fits my temper! Brother Bai brought all these things, and I sent them to my eldest brother overnight. ”

Zhan Xiaobai was not in a hurry, "There are hundreds, this is not in a hurry." It's just that I want to borrow a little food from you for emergencies, Brother Wang, you see? ”

Wang Laohu patted his chest proudly and shouted: "Small things, small things, as long as you can slaughter those Qianghu horse thieves, a little food is nothing." You don't have to ask my eldest brother, I, Wang Laohu, can call the shots in this matter. ..... However, don't mention this to Cheng Er, that guy is stingy. If he knew, he would definitely be crooked in front of his eldest brother. I, Wang Laohu, can bear this matter alone. ”

Wang Laohu muttered in his heart: Mom, the meritorious service is also made by our Wang Laohu alone, but we can't let the "treacherous" and deceitful Cheng Lao Er give points.

Zhan Xiaobai was happy, and arched his hand: "This is no better, thank you Brother Wang." ”

Wang Laohu ordered the horse thieves to put bundles of iron lumps in sacks of grain, and then took a small amount of grain and went to the distant wilderness.

Zhan Xiaobai only looked at the grain they withdrew, and felt that their situation was a little bad.

Those more than 240 catties of grain are only enough to eat more than 80 people for one day. In other words, Pei Yuanshao and his group of horse thieves have recently lost nearly half of their staff. Under the leadership of an NPC like Pei Yuanshao in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there were such large casualties, and those Qianghu horse thieves were afraid that they were not easy to provoke, and they didn't know what the way was coming.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't worry much about them. He still has a lot of troubles to deal with on his own. Now that the food can be guaranteed, he doesn't have to lay off the villagers, and everything can be normal. When this batch of more than 300 mu of grain is harvested, their grain crisis will be greatly alleviated, and there should be no serious grain shortage next month.

Li Asan was overjoyed and said, "The lord is really a god!" Seeing an imminent food crisis, it disappeared without a trace. ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled: "Okay, when did you follow Gou Yixue to pat on the back?" He paused and said cautiously: "It is almost the end of the month, and there is an important matter that you must deal with immediately. ”

Li Asan didn't understand, the food crisis was solved, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner, what else was important? He couldn't help asking, "My lord, please speak, and the old man will do it immediately." ”

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Make fake accounts." ”

Li Asan was dumbfounded, "This ...... Making fake accounts? The old man really couldn't understand, how could the lord suddenly have this idea, what are we doing with fake accounts? ”

"On the last day of the month, our village will hand over 20% of its income to the prefecture and county. Do you think that the money we have earned so hard can be handed over in vain? ”

"This ...... It is the principle of heaven for the imperial court states and counties to collect taxes. The tax is a bit heavier though. But it's not good to make fake accounts. After all, Li Asan used to be the old village chief, and his thoughts of loyalty to the Eastern Han Dynasty were not small.

Zhan Xiaobai persuaded him: "If our village doesn't do it, other medium-sized villages will definitely do it." At that time, we will pay 20% of the income, and other villages will only pay 3~5% of the income. Doesn't that weaken our own strength? I can't see the effect for a month or two, but after a long time, our village will lag behind other medium-sized villages, you think about it. ”

Li Asan hesitated for a long time and sighed, "That's it...... It was all at the command of the Lord. ”

After he agreed, he began to calculate how to reduce the money, food, and other income on the village books.

Of course, this fake account is not easy to make. There are extremely detailed records on the system, and if you can't check them, you can't do it. The 20% is still to be deducted and transferred to the state and county property books.

Li Asan was busy for a while, but there was no progress, wiped his sweat, and asked: "Lord, let's ask Elder Jianba to help, this is a fake account, and the old man really can't do it alone." ”

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and brought the sword bully.

Jian Ba followed Zhan Xiaobai to the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Fake account? Xiaobai, you really know how to find someone, does my sword bully look like the kind of master who makes fake accounts? I'm an absolute businessman! ”

......

Whether the sword lord is a serious businessman or not, no one knows. However, the fake accounts he made made Li Asan embarrassed, and he admired the five bodies to the ground.

Jian Ba mobilized all kinds of income, and let Wutong Village's books cooperate, and the two villages borrowed money and property from each other, spending a lot of money, borrowing at a high price, lending at a low price, and reversing several rounds to write off. In the end, the net income of grain became negative, and Xiaobai Village owed a large amount of grain to Wutong Village, even if there was a bumper harvest next month, they would have to give priority to repaying the loan, and they did not have to hand over 1 grain of grain.

There is also very little income from copper coins, goods, raw materials, weapons, etc.

Xiaobai Village symbolizes "sex" and pays a tax of 1 copper coin. When the state and county officials saw this account, they were afraid that they would vomit blood in anger.

Not only Xiaobai Village, but almost all medium-sized villages in the game use this trick. However, the clever ones are not leaky, and the books are not smart, but a lot of money has been deducted.
