Chapter 007: In full swing
Bungalow: A place where the people live, which can accommodate 3 people. The construction of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info consumes 5 square wood and 50 copper coins to build.
Now there are only three people, and there is no division of labor. It took an hour to build a house, during which time not a single homeless person appeared. I don't know why, but it may be because there are no houses.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for winning 13 copper coins."
"Hey, how did I suddenly get 13 copper coins?" Deng Yi was surprised where this copper coin came from.
"My lord, this is the salary we just built for the house, deducting 20% of the tax, and the remaining three of us will each get 13." Jiang Ming explained on the side.
"Isn't a 20% tax too much?"
"It's up to you, Lord, to decide, and you can use the Lord's Order to modify it." Jiang Ming said cautiously. Taxation is a sensitive topic, and if you are not careful, you may offend your own father-in-law.
Deng Yi didn't pay attention to this, took out the lord's order, and adjusted the tax to 10%.
"The lord is wise!" Seeing that Deng Yi lowered the tax by 10%, Jiang Ming and Xia Yu bowed their hands at the same time and praised in unison. The lower the tax, the higher your income, who doesn't like it?
"Lord, you can set your subordinates to receive a monthly payment. In this way, we will not receive wages for working for the territory, but only monthly salaries. Moreover, it is better for the lord to set up a sum of money for himself, otherwise it will not be good if the lord has any personal belongings to buy in the future, but he has no money in hand. Territorial money is not allowed to be withdrawn without permission. Jiang Ming suggested again.
"Are there any restrictions?" Deng Yi asked.
"No, it is determined by the lord according to the financial revenue of the territory."
"Well, it's okay for you two to pay 2 taels a month?" Deng Yi asked. It is true that the monthly salary is not high, but considering that the territory has just started, there is no financial resources, so it can only be so.
"Thank you, Jiang Ming (Xia Yu) understands the difficulties of the lord."
"My own money can also be used for territory construction, right?"
"Absolutely."
"That's good." Now Deng Yi is really relieved, he has nothing else now, that is, he has money, 500 taels of gold is not a small number, it is a full 50 million copper coins.
Two more houses were built in succession, and during this time, three homeless people with mediocre qualifications were finally spawned. Deng Yi registered for their naturalization, and pulled them together to work in full swing.
Level 1 Farm: It is convenient for cultivating farmland and increases the cultivation efficiency of farmland by 10%. The construction cost 10 wood and 100 copper coins.
Farmland: used to sow crops, the growth cycle is 5 days, and the normal yield is 5 catties. The construction cost 50 copper coins.
Compared with the others, cultivating crops is definitely the first priority, and everything else is vain without food. So after building three houses, Deng Yi took everyone and began to build farms and reclaim farmland non-stop, striving to sow 10 kilograms of seeds as soon as possible.
However, at this time, Jiang Ming stopped Deng Yi and said: "Lord Qiqi, now there is only one set of farm tools in the whole village, and the work efficiency is extremely low. It's better to build a grocery store or blacksmith shop first, and have enough tools to make the territory grow quickly. ”
After Jiang Mingyi's reminder, Deng Yi found that everyone was basically working with sticks and stones. Nodding his head and saying, "Thank you Jiang Ming for reminding me, otherwise it wouldn't be a mistake." Let's go and build the grocery store first. ”
Level 1 Grocery Store: A small shop that sells purchased goods, mostly found in villages. The construction cost 10 wood and 100 copper coins.
With the cooperation of several people, the grocery store was completed in one and a half hours, and if you have enough tools, you should be able to do it a lot faster.
"Lord, I need to arrange for a villager to be the owner of this grocery store. However, there are no talents with business expertise in the territory now, so they can only appoint a general to use it first. But there is no way to collect taxes. Jiang Ming explained in detail to Deng Yi.
Deng Yi assigned a villager to enter the grocery store to be the grocery store owner, and then began to check the goods inside. There are all kinds of farm tools, grain, crop seeds, these have a quantity limit, only ten pieces of farm tools are sold every day, ten kilograms of grain, one kilogram of seeds. You can also buy weapons, all of which are of the lowest quality.
Without hesitation, Deng Yi directly swept away all the goods except weapons, spending a total of 1,800 copper coins. Seeing Jiang Ming's heart pounding, he didn't say anything considering that these were things that the territory urgently needed.
With enough tools, the job is different. Moreover, Deng Yi lowered the tax, and everyone's enthusiasm for work was relatively high. By evening, the construction of the farm and the cultivation of ten acres of farmland had been completed.
At this time, the three houses were all full, and Deng Yi led everyone to build another house in the afterglow, and then returned to the lord's mansion to practice the "Casting God Technique". He was now accustomed to using cultivation instead of sleep, and the effect of recuperating his energy was much better than that of simple sleep.
At the end of the day, the construction of the territory cost a total of 1,100 copper coins, and Deng Yi's own money was used to buy tools in the grocery store. Consume 40 square meters of wood, this consumption is relatively large, there is not much left, and you must start cutting wood tomorrow.
The consumption of 2 kg of grain is mainly because most of the displaced people are brushed out in the afternoon and only eat one meal, so it is so little, and a normal villager consumes 1 kg of grain a day. The tax is 115 copper coins, and the key is that the villagers who have no business expertise, otherwise they can collect 180 copper coins from the grocery store.
At dawn the next day, everyone in the village had already started their activities. The first thing Deng Yi did was to go to the grocery store and sweep all the goods.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming couldn't help but say: "Lord, the basic purchase yesterday is enough for today's use, and now the territory is in urgent need of funds, and you are buying it so aggressively... It's unwise! ”
After saying that, Jiang Ming began to regret it, blaming his own lord in public like this, wouldn't he offend him ruthlessly, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future!
patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder, Deng Yi said, "Don't worry, I use my own private money." Although these appliances are surplus for the time being, they will be able to be used later. From now on, you are the deputy head of Xiaoyao Village, and you will have to worry a lot about the affairs of the village in the future, I can't do everything myself. ”
"Thank you for your love! The subordinates will do their best and never give up. However, the subordinates do not know the reason, wantonly accuse and suspect the lord, and ask the lord to punish him! Jiang Ming saw that Deng Yi not only did not scold himself, but also made himself the deputy village head, and he was both excited and self-blaming in his heart, blaming himself for blaming his own father-in-law.
"Jiang Ming doesn't have to be like this. Now you have two people to build the houses, two people to build the lumberyard, and the rest of the people to go and cultivate the farmland and plant the remaining seeds as soon as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the naturalization matters for those homeless people. Deng Yi commanded, and at the same time used the lord's order to assign Jiang Ming the authority of the deputy village chief.
"Yes, my lord. Jiang Ming will do it. Jiang Ming happily took the order and left.
"Xia Yu, you follow me to the woods to have a look. I'm afraid there are a lot of wild beasts in the forest, let's go clean up, don't let them hurt our villagers. Deng Yi handed Xia Yu a long knife bought from the grocery store and commanded.
"Yes, my lord." Xia Yu immediately took the order and followed.
Although Xia Yu is proficient in military affairs and good at leading troops to fight, he is still too vulnerable in the face of those ferocious beasts. Fortunately, Deng Yi's strength was strong enough, and he waved the long sword in his hand wantonly. Although there are no powerful moves, killing the beast is not ambiguous at all, as simple as chopping vegetables and melons.
With Deng Yi on the side to help take care of it, Xia Yu would not be the stuff of the beast. And his excellent qualifications were not given in vain, as the battle progressed, he slowly began to advance and retreat, and the long knife in his hand became more and more aggressive.
There are indeed many wild beasts in the forest, all kinds, poisonous snakes, mountain wolves, wild boars, etc. Deng Yi took Xia Yu back and forth near the lumber yard and killed happily. At the same time, it is also very helpless, because the slightest negligence of the villagers who cut the wood will be attacked. It wasn't until dark that the villagers who were logging had finished their work, and Deng Yi and Xia Yu stopped and returned to the village.
It seems that the barracks must be built as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too much time to fight with wild beasts here every day and be a bodyguard, so it would be better to cultivate in the village with peace of mind.
"Enlightening the lord, today a total of 7 houses were built, 1 lumber yard was built, a total of 45 square meters of wood were consumed, and a total of 45 square meters of timber were harvested. 18 acres of farmland have been reclaimed, of which 14 acres have been sown, and all seeds have been used up.
2,460 copper coins for various expenses and 246 copper coins for taxes. 13 were naturalized and homeless, and 9 kilograms of grain were consumed. There are 1696 copper coins left, 60 square meters of wood remaining, stone iron ingots unchanged, and 22 villagers. One of the villagers had a blacksmith specialty and suggested that the blacksmith shop be built as soon as possible. As soon as he returned to the Lord's Mansion, Jiang Ming came forward to report on the progress and income and expenditure of the territory today.
"Looks like you've put a lot of thought into it. Okay, very good, thank you! In the face of such a detailed report, Deng Yi couldn't find any fault.
"It's all a matter of subordination, and it should be. However, there is not much money left in the village now, and I am afraid that it will slow down the development progress of the territory. You have to think of a way to make money. As long as he thought of the problem of money, Jiang Ming was very sad, but he couldn't think of a way, so he could only be anxious.
"You don't have to worry about money, I still have some on me, which should last a long time." Saying that, Deng Yi took out 1 tael of gold from the ring and handed it to Jiang Ming. Fortunately, the territory has the function of automatic integration and change, otherwise the gold will be put into the territory treasury, and the territory will not be able to use it, because there is no money to change.
