Regarding the guarantee of the lost wealth green cow, Qin Xiaobai praised: "I believe that you can do this, which is why I can rest assured that I will hand over the shipyard to you to operate." Now the shipyard has suspended the study of sailing ships, expanded the number of docks to twenty, increased the number of ships built per day, and sold as many ships as the market needs. You don't have to worry about anyone competing with you in Zhoushui, I have monopolized the shipping rights of Zhoushui Lake and Zhoushui River, and only the ships we built ourselves are allowed to sail.

However, if you go out of the territory of Zhoushui and enter the rivers of other walled cities, you are likely to face competitors from other walled cities. Once the opponent is present, no matter what method is used, the competitor must be defeated immediately, and in the inland waters of the entire Yan Kingdom, it can only be our ships!

After the craftsmen improved their basic knowledge and developed sailing ships, they immediately marched into the Bohai Bay, controlled the entire Bohai Bay shipping, and then sold the boats to the Yellow River Valley. In this way, we can avoid all kinds of conflicts without going through the complicated 6 routes, and directly reach the border of Yan and Qi, and even go to the Korean Peninsula, North Korea, South Korea and other places for long-distance trade.

The shipping plan is one of the important strategic links of the whole layout, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise it will lead to a loss. We cannot afford to lose this war, and if we lose, we will lose our qualifications in many aspects.

Including, the qualification to dominate the national war. Can you monopolize the shipping of the entire Yan Kingdom? If I can't, I'll have to do it instead! ”

"Yes, I can do it!"

The green cow nodded desperately. His fists were clenched, and his eyes were feverishly red.

The strategic blueprint drawn by the little white boss, he will become one of the important roles in the overall situation, this is exactly the position he dreams of getting, there was no chance before, but now the opportunity is in front of him, his chest is full of blood, and he can't wait to shout it out!

Sheep sent a henchman to the lake to find Qin Xiaobai, saying that there was an important matter that he urgently needed to go back to deal with. Qin Xiaobai quickly left the dock in Zhoushui Lake. Return to Zhoushui Walled City.

With a group of his brothers, the Fortune Bull immediately expanded the number of dockyards and the number of craftsmen used for shipbuilding. The daily production capacity has been greatly increased. The Fortune Cow inspected the work in various docks, and yelled from time to time. "Hurry up for me, don't bother!"

"Whoever dares to be lazy, be careful that I kick him!"

It is indeed an important thing for sheep to find Qin Xiaobai. He was already waiting in the office of the dean of Zhoushui Academy, and after Qin Xiaobai came in, he hurriedly said, "Big brother, according to the news brought back by the players of the caravan. There have been many walled cities where bronze objects have appeared. But not we produce. Rather, it was produced by other Walled City players. I've already made a rough count of the situation in this regard, what do you think should be done? ”

Qin Xiaobai sat down in his place. smiled: "This is not surprising, there are countless walled cities in the Yan Kingdom and Zhou Dynasty, and there are even more walled cities in the world." The bronze competition has long been uncountable. Have you counted all of your competitors? ”

The sheep took out a map and explained it to Qin Xiaobai in detail.

This is a simple map of the geography of the Yan Kingdom, which was bought by a merchant player of the Sheep Chamber of Commerce in an NPC shop for 3,000 copper coins when he was in the Jicheng trading ground. It marks the simple river and the approximate location of all the Diyan Kingdom walled cities, with an error of ten miles.

The sheep pointed to the map and said, "The three closest cities to us, Jicheng, Bohai City, and Liaoxi City, all three walled cities are now smelting bronze production. Among them, there are five in Jicheng, one in Liaoxi, and two in Bohai, which is where we can reach the current trade scope.

As for the farther places, it is temporarily impossible to reach and do not understand the situation. But judging from the current situation, almost every walled city may have already appeared a bronze smelting workshop. ”

The sheep are worried.

Qin Xiaobai smiled: "Okay, this is normal." We've been producing bronze for a month, and if these walled cities haven't started producing yet, I'm afraid they'll have a hard time in the future. ”

The sheep was anxious and said, "Big brother, do you still have the heart to laugh?" I mean really, there is so much competition, there are as many as forty or fifty walled cities in Yan Kingdom alone, and each walled city has competitors, how can we defeat them all? ”

Qin Xiaobai casually pointed to the two points on the map - Zhoushui Walled City and Jicheng City, and smiled, "There's nothing to worry about, as long as you master these two cities, then you can control the bronze smelting of the entire Yan Kingdom." ”

The sheep looked carefully at the walled city of Zhoushui, as well as Jicheng, but he didn't see any clue, and pondered for a while before saying: "These two walled cities, one is the walled city of the monarch Ji Xu, and the other is the walled city of Ji Zhigongzi, does the eldest brother want to start from this aspect?" However, Ji Zhi is now just a local big chief, not even a prince. I am afraid it will be a long time before he succeeds to the throne. ”

Qin Xiaobai said with a smile: "The big chief wants me to prepare three thousand armor soldiers within half a year. I don't know what the Great Chief is doing in a hurry to ask for these three thousand soldiers in full bronze armor and weapons. But this quest is not on the public task list that has never appeared in the Zhoushui Walled City, only from the mouth of the big chief, don't you think it's a strange thing? If it's just a normal move to strengthen the armament, just put it on the list of military tasks in Sima Mansion. ”

The sheep was taken aback: "Yes, large-scale tasks such as road construction and city building are all on the task list, but this task is indeed not on the public task list, this is a hidden task, and it should be set up to touch special tasks." Big brother, you once suggested that it should take a year to complete this task, but the requirement of the big chief is that it must be within half a year, so it should be born within half a year. I actually ignored that. However, big brother, even half a year is too long, enough for the bronze smelting players in other walled cities to become very powerful, even if we can use the power of the Great Chief at that time, I am afraid that we may not be able to clean them up, and the price paid will be very large. ”

Qin Xiaobai groaned and said, "If you make them strong, it will indeed be very troublesome. Let's start deploying from now on, starting with the competitors of the three walled cities around us, and cleaning them up one by one. ”

He pointed to the four places of "Jicheng, Zhoushui, Liaoxi, and Bohai", which are distributed in a semicircle.

The sheep immediately looked at Qin Xiaobai's map carefully, "Big brother, you say it, I'll write it down." ”

Qin Xiaobai thought about it quickly and said, "The two bronze productions in the Bohai Walled City are the easiest to clean up. The Bohai Walled City is located on the plains, and there are no large copper mines around, so it must rely on transporting copper ore from other places. Their ore sources are nothing more than the Zhoushui Walled City area in the north, Liaoxi in the northeast, and Jicheng in the west. Cutting off the three nearest sources of raw materials for copper mines, there are basically no copper mines in the Bohai Walled City to smelt bronze. If you go further afield, looking for copper mines, this adds a lot of cost. As for how to cut it off, you can think of some ways at will, harass, rush to buy, in short, don't let them get a large amount of copper ore. ”

The sheep smiled, "Okay, after cutting off their copper mines, we are selling a large amount of bronze to Bohai at a lower price, so that they can't even find their pants if they lose." ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled and moved his gaze to Jicheng.

This place is a hassle.

This is the capital of Yan Kingdom, and the population of NPCs and players is ten times that of other walled cities, and its strength is very strong. However, because of the large number of players here, no player force has enough strength to rule this place. At present, Jicheng is still in a stage of fierce competition among many players. Unlike a smaller place like Zhoushui Walled City, as long as a strong force appears, it will be able to unite the players of the entire walled city and form a joint force. In a place with a large population like Jicheng, there may often be several strong forces that contain each other.

It is very troublesome to rule a place like this.

Fortunately, he didn't need to pay attention to this, and he was now thinking about how to defeat the five competitors with bronze production capacity in this walled city.

Qin Xiaobai said: "The situation in Jicheng is different from that of Bohai, it is close to Taihang Mountain, and the transportation network extends in all directions, so you can easily obtain the copper ore you need. Blockading copper raw materials can't kill them, fight hard with them for prices, fight a price war and defeat them," he thought for a while, shook his head and vetoed, "It's not okay, this method is too easy to hurt yourself." Think of another way. ”

At this time, the sheep suddenly remembered something and said, "Big brother, I almost forgot, I also received a message recently. The five bronze producers in Jicheng have been using various means to squeeze out our merchant players who sell bronzes, trying to drive our merchants out. Some players have already reported this matter to the Zhoushui Alliance, hoping that the alliance will come forward and stop their exclusion. ”

Qin Xiaobai was taken aback and said, "Is there such a thing? ”

Sheep nodded: "Yes, the alliance has received complaints from thirty merchant players who went to Jicheng to sell bronze, and I hope the alliance can help." These are all ordinary merchant players in our walled city, who went to Jicheng alone to sell bronzes, but were surrounded and chased by the players in Jicheng. Although there are not many such cases at present, I am afraid that it will turn into a large-scale armed conflict between the merchants of Jicheng and Zhoushuicheng, which will have very tragic consequences. Nameless has already begun to deal with these disputes, trying to defuse them as much as possible, so that our merchants will not get caught up in a personal conflict with the merchants of Jicheng. ”

Qin Xiaobai fell into deep thought.

From this point of view, the five bronze producers of Jicheng have already felt a strong threat from the Zhoushui Walled City, and have a tendency to join forces to resist. Even, if the threat posed to them by the Zhoushui Walled City is too great, the major player forces in the entire Jicheng may be forced to join forces in order to protect themselves.

That would be a situation he would never want to see.
