Chapter 34 High Maintenance Costs
With the death of the three bandit leaders in battle, the rest couldn't last long at all, Yue Yun was like a killing machine, one hammer at a time, Zhang Fan was not bad, and he could kill one person at a time when he broke out his skills. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The gap in equipment, the gap in personnel cooperation, and the fact that the levels of the two sides have been leveled, and the bandits who are not superior in numbers and combat effectiveness are quickly bulldozed.
After some inventory, the harvest is quite rich, not to mention ordinary weapons, although the attributes are much better than the second-level bandits, but it is estimated that it is only the price of one or two silver coins, but you can also get a few gold coins.
There are also resources, there are a lot more resources of all kinds, all of which are more than 60,000 units, grain, stone, iron ore, timber, etc., and some other things, but there are not so many at one time.
Zhang Fan is most concerned about skill books, this time he hit more than 50 skill books, in addition to some basic skill books, there are more than 10 primary skill books, primary skill books can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, Zhang Fan is still very concerned.
Three of the dozen skill books are of little use, one is a hammer skill, one is a sword skill book, and one is a nunchuck.
So why is the beginner skill book of the sword useless? Personally, the sword is indeed a good weapon, but it is not suitable for large-scale equipment for the army, and it is still rare for the army to be equipped with a sword on a large scale throughout ancient history.
Zhang Fan currently has sword skills, and he doesn't want to switch to a sword, anyway, the power is about the same, so these basic skills Zhang Fan plans to sell them, the current price of the skill book is still very good, Zhang Fan will also take out some basic skills to sell, of course, some more remote skill books Zhang Fan will take out and sell.
There are also some drawings seized, some are useful, and some are no longer of much use, such as the construction of the cottage gate, which is of no use to the village at all, and Zhang Fan thinks that the drawings of the arrow tower are good, and he can build a few more arrow towers in the future to defend the village.
In terms of coins, more than 50 gold coins were seized, and the rest of the silver and copper coins combined also had about a dozen gold coins.
"Ding~ System Announcement: Congratulations to the player Zhang Yunxia for breaking through the third-level bandit cottage, rewarding reputation 10 and gold coins 10."
This harvest is good, the most important thing is that his consumption is not much, more than 30 soldiers died in the entire cottage, and the income obtained, sorted out, is estimated to reach about three hundred gold coins, which is a direct benefit, and indirect benefits, such as obtaining so many resources, then the village can free up some manpower to do other things.
This attack on the third-level village has produced a very good effect on the training of troops, and it has also been able to obtain great benefits.
After fighting the cottage and tidying it up, Zhang Fan led the troops back to the village.
"Lord, today our junior prospector found a mine outside the village, called Huoyun Iron Ore, which is a second-level material, and the master blacksmith has already said that we can build better weapons." Back in the village, Yu Qian said to him.
"Great, has it been mined?"
"A little bit has been mined, and it has been sent over for the master to start working on new weapons, and the results are expected tomorrow." Yu Qian said.
Zhang Fan was a little excited, if you want to be an arms dealer, this weapon must be high-level, and now there is no market for low-level weapons, Zhang Fan estimates that the ordinary weapons of the first-level and second-level cottages can no longer be sold, and the weapon attributes of the third-level cottages are slightly better, and they should be able to sell for some money.
But if your territory can build high-end weapons, then it will be an ATM, you know, Zhang Fan sold a batch of standard weapons before, but they were sold at a premium of nearly 50%, which shows how high the profit is.
Nowadays, the price of weapons is falling rapidly, only by constantly improving the quality of weapons and creating weapons with higher attributes can we make money.
"Yu Qian, now the territory has a population of more than 10,000, consuming more than 30,000 grains a day, and now more than 60,000 grains can be harvested by playing a third-level cottage, so there is no shortage of food for the time being, arrange more people to do others, and arrange for them to go to various workshops as apprentices if they don't have any special attributes, and increase technical talents."
"Okay, my lord, I've made a note of it." Yu Qian happily agreed, the food problem was solved, so of course the population could not be wasted on food, and many of the population of the territory was refreshed by farmers, which were basically only suitable for farming, so they were arranged to farm.
After Zhang Fan came back, he went to the shipyard to take a look, and now he is most concerned about the shipbuilding industry, and he wants to make the shipbuilding industry a pillar industry in the territory.
"Village Chief, I advise you to find some high-end materials to come back, using this kind of ordinary material is more expensive."
Zhang Fan came to inquire about the situation of the shipyard, but he was unexpectedly complained by Wang Hai.
"Why is that?" Zhang Fan didn't quite understand, so he asked.
"This ship made of ordinary wood generally needs to be maintained once it is driven, and it will be overhauled once in a few days, and it will cost more than a dozen gold coins for a small maintenance, and it will cost more than a dozen gold coins for major repairs."
"I'll go..."
Zhang Fan couldn't help but scolded, the speed of this ship swallowing gold is not a one-time thing, it is only fifty gold coins at a time, and the maintenance costs in the later stage are even more expensive, which makes Zhang Fan, who was already short of money, scolded.
Don't look at Zhang Fan's trip to brush the third-level cottage this time, and he harvested more than 300 gold coins, but that is with all kinds of resources, these resources are not cash, they are all to be consumed, and the cash obtained is dozens of gold coins, and all aspects of the construction of the village are needed.
"So, village chief, I suggest you go and get some advanced materials back as soon as possible, so that although it costs a little more money when it is built, the maintenance cost can be reduced a lot in the later stage."
Zhang Fan pursed his lips and nodded in agreement, his dream is to sail far, today's ships can theoretically sail far, but the materials can't keep up, it is impossible to sail far, maybe a small wind and wave may disintegrate.
"I can only work hard to make money." Zhang Fan is helpless, if he wants to support the entire navigation industry, then it is impossible without huge funds.
Zhang Fan returned to the village chief's office and began to think about it, and the next day, in addition to letting people continue to brush the bandits, he sent a large number of people to find more advanced wood.
A day has passed, and the village has been searched for a radius of thirty miles, except for the discovery of a few ordinary forest farms, no better materials have been found, which makes Zhang Fan very helpless, now such a high maintenance cost, he can't afford it, these boats will seriously drag down the development of the village, so Zhang Fan wants to solve it.
Finding a higher grade wood to build a boat is the best way to do it.
"My lord, there are a large number of islands around us, and these small islands have all kinds of resources, maybe there are materials we need."
"yes, I didn't think of that." As soon as Yu Qian said, Zhang Fan patted his thigh excitedly and cried out.
There are a large number of islands around here, this Zhang Fan has long known that there are many small islands that he will encounter on the next trip to the south, Zhang Fan didn't care about it at that time, but now it seems that he should indeed send someone to find it.
