Chapter 15: The Carpenter
"The small village is newly built, and there is definitely not much grain in stock, each villager has to consume two catties of grain every day, and if too much is recruited at once, the village will be unsustainable at the end of the month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What happens if the village runs out of food and can't supply it to the villagers?" Lin Ran asked.
"Well, if the villagers starve, their loyalty to the village will definitely be greatly reduced, and if it drops to a certain extent, the villagers will flee the village, and there is a chance that they will mutini and attack the village. At the same time, the attractiveness of the village to NPCs will be greatly reduced. ”
In this game, the migrant workers' sense of rights protection is quite strong, and they will go on strike and resign without paying wages, and the villagers will have a great impact on the future development of the village after the strike, and it is difficult for a person who can no longer attract villagers to develop.
Lin Ran thought about it carefully, and now among the villages established by many players, he must be at the forefront, not because he has the title of the so-called "No. 1 Village in the World", but because of the large amount of information he got from Village Chief Jiang, for example, the village can only be cultivated in the first three days of each month.
You have to make the most of this to your advantage and develop it in the early stages of the game. In fact, compared to other large game organizations, whether in terms of financial resources or manpower, he is at an obvious disadvantage, and after so many years in the online game industry, Lin Ran naturally knows how terrifying those large game organizations are.
In the past, Lin Ran was also known as a man in a popular online game, and in the entire regional server, no player could beat this equipment, and his technology and reaction speed were top-notch.
But later, Lin Ran had a grudge with a medium-sized game guild during a mission, and was brutalized and killed by a group of thousands of people on the other side with the lowest-level fireball wind blade technique, dropped one level, and broke out one of the best equipment.
In any game, a game organization with a crowd of tactical killers has a natural advantage.
Therefore, Lin Ran must now desperately develop and lead, if it develops slowly, others have a village supported by thousands of players, and they can throw themselves off 108,000 miles in less than a month.
If you have 15 villagers, you can consume 30 catties of food a day, which is about 900 catties a month, which is very stressful, but there should be other ways to get food in this game.
Lin Ran set his sights on the river outside the village.
The water of the river is clear and cold, and on both sides of it are some reed poles and green weeds that rise high and sway in the wind.
From time to time, a few dark shadows crossed the water, which were river fish swimming in the river.
By the way, Lin Ran suddenly thought that on the night he rescued Village Chief Jiang, he also held a banquet to thank him, and there were fish on the table during the banquet. In this way, fish is allowed to be used as food in this game.
Thinking of a way to solve the food shortage, Lin Ran had a bottom in his heart, and said to Village Chief Jiang: "The small village has just been newly built now, and it really needs a lot of manpower to speed up the development, I will find a way to solve the food problem in the future, and now the time is urgent, first recruit fifteen villagers, and start cultivating the land immediately."
Seeing Lin Ran's resolute attitude, Village Chief Jiang didn't say anything more.
After a while, ten NPC farmers gathered at the entrance of the village's government affairs hall, and with the help of Village Chief Jiang, Lin Ran easily persuaded these villagers to join the village.
Just when Lin Ran had found all the manpower and was about to start work, an NPC villager suddenly appeared outside the government affairs hall.
"You go back, our village doesn't need the villagers to ...... now" The food gap is big enough, Lin Ran doesn't want to fill the village with a mouth to eat.
"Wait a minute." Village Chief Jiang motioned to Lin Ran to take a closer look at the NPC in front of him.
Lin Ran looked at this NPC again with some doubts, his appearance was five big and three thick, and his skin was dark, and he was indeed the same as an ordinary NPC farmer, but after a closer look, Lin Ran found the clue.
This NPC didn't even carry farming tools, but carried a large wooden box behind his back.
"This man is certainly not an ordinary farmer, but more likely a craftsman."
Artisan? This is an extremely rare NPC, a skilled craftsman, far more useful than an ordinary farmer who can farm.
"What do you know, this villager?" Village Chief Jiang asked the other party with a pleasant face.
"I'm a carpenter, and now I'm a junior carpenter, and some simple carpentry work is not difficult for me."
"Then I don't know if you want to stay in my Xiaobai Village, I will agree to any conditions." Lin Ran said.
"Your village?" The carpenter looked at the simple government office of the village, and then at the crooked thatched houses built by the villagers on both sides, and pouted, "Your village is too shabby, right, such a village can also live in people?" ”
Lin Ran said with some embarrassment: "Isn't it just starting now." ”
Village Chief Jiang also helped and said: "Village Chief Xiaobai is a young talent, and he will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future." ”
Lin Ran and Village Chief Jiang lobbied the carpenter for a long time, and the carpenter reluctantly put forward his request to join Xiaobai Village.
"I usually have carpentry work and need a separate house, so I don't sleep with the farmers."
This is easy to do, Lin Ran immediately agreed.
"Also, my monthly salary is 30 copper, and I have a big appetite, and I have to eat four catties of food a day."
Lin Ran looked at the black and thin carpenter in front of him, it was really hard to imagine how he could put four catties of rice into his small stomach.
After Lin Ran agreed, the carpenter showed a satisfied expression and joined the village.
Lin Ran was overjoyed to accidentally obtain a valuable craftsman NPC, and immediately assigned two farmers to the carpenter and asked them to assist the carpenter in building a new house.
The remaining eight villagers, Lin Ran and Village Chief Jiang, took them outside the village and began the operation of cultivating fields.
Lin Ran has always lived in the city, and has never seen such a scene, a group of farmers plowing and cultivating the fields, and from time to time a villager borrows water from the nearby river to irrigate the land.
Lin Ran was very novel at first, jumped into the field, pulled out the iron sword and learned the movements of the NPC villagers, ploughed the ground decently, and imagined in his heart that with his own joining, maybe he could plough seven or eight more acres of land in the end.
Soon, Lin Ran felt back pain and boredom, and gave up before he could plough one-third of an acre of land.
This farmland is really not something the player can do. Lin Ran sighed that most of the players come to play games for fun, and no player is willing to do this kind of thing, and the efficiency is low, so it seems that only NPC villagers can do this job.
