At noon on December 21, Qin Xiaobai took more than 100 members of the NPCs and slaves of the two tribes to build a large number of bronze workshops in the two camps of the Xiaobai tribe and the sheep tribe by the Zhoushui River 10 miles south of the Zhoushui Walled City. It is planned to use this as a base to smelt copper on a large scale and produce copper weapons and equipment.

As long as the player's fief is over 10 acres, they can set up their own camp.

With the frenzy of the fiefdom movement in the past two days, a large number of player teams poured into the North Ridge to kill the mountain, and obtained a large number of fiefs ranging from 10 acres to 300 acres. The * thousand players gathered in the Zhoushui Walled City began to spread around quickly with their NPC clans, and at present, within dozens of miles around the Zhoushui Walled City, there have been as many as three or four thousand player clan camps, scattered all over the wasteland. The congestion around the outskirts of Zhoushui City began to improve, and the trade circle was not limited to the Zhoushui Walled City, and the trade between the player's tribal camps also began to appear in small quantities.

After obtaining various production technologies from Zhoushui Walled City, players can produce them in their own tribes, and then sell them to other players in exchange for the goods they need.

Since the north side is a mountain range, it is too close to the mountain and it is not very safe. Players mainly build their own tribal camps in the west, south, and east directions, of which the south is the most vast, and the wasteland is almost endless, so the players who go to the south are the most. The farthest one, even forty or fifty miles away, takes 12 hours to run on horseback. The nearest ones are three or four miles around the Zhoushui Walled City, and you can enter the city in a few minutes. Within three miles of the outskirts of the Zhoushui Walled City, which has been occupied by the NPC government, is preparing to expand a stone-walled new city. The new city has not yet been named. Waiting for the name of the chief of the Ji office.

Where to set up a tribal camp. This is up to the player. There are benefits from near and far from there.

The player tribe close to the city is convenient for trading with the Zhoushui Walled City and other players, but the arable land is naturally limited - everyone is crowded to build camps near the outskirts of the city, and the land is very tight. It was quickly carved up. If a new fief is obtained, it is necessary to run farther to cultivate the land.

It is far away from the city, although it is not too convenient to travel to and fro, but few people compete for land, and all the cultivated land can be connected into a large area, and a large manor of hundreds of hectares can be built.

Because the Zhou Shui tribe carried out a set of penal rule of the Zhou Dynasty, it was a light fine. The player will be expelled from the Yan nobility. The most serious is defined as rebellion - all player nobles who commit crimes will be fined in varying amounts. If he did not pay the fine within the time limit, he was expelled from the nobility of Yan State, and he lost the convenience that only various nobles could enjoy. Those who dare to provoke the government will be directly designated as a rebellion and will be wanted in the entire vassal state.

Therefore, although there are frequent fights between players and sporadic NPCs being killed, the overall situation has not yet reached the point where the flood is uncontrollable, and usually NPCs who kill others will take the initiative to pay fines and compensation. The law and order situation is in the hands of the Zhoushui Tribe Executive Yuan; After all, most players now have their families and families, NPC clans, and fields and land. Even the most "aggressive and disrespectful of the law" players have not yet given up their Yan nobility. The intention of becoming a rebel in the Wandering Land. In that case, the loss will be too great, and it will be easy to become the target of public criticism.

Qin Xiaobai's tribal camp. It is 10 miles south of the city on the bank of the Zhoushui River, not far from the location of Zhoushui City. There are already a few other player camps nearby, but they are still a little distance away from his fiefdom.

The construction of a large number of workshops in the camps of the Xiaobai tribe and the sheep tribe did not attract much attention. Buildings of all kinds are being built in almost every camp, but there aren't as many as they are.

The sheep hired several transport carriages in the city to transport a large number of copper ore raw materials to the Xiaobai tribe and the sheep tribe, which is also not eye-catching, after all, the trade exchanges inside and outside the city have been quite frequent, and it is common to transport horse-drawn carriages out of the city.

At two o'clock at noon, the first batch of five copper smelting workshops and copper smelting furnaces in the Xiaobai camp have been established, and the sheep have also transported the first batch of 50,000 units of copper ore, charcoal, quartz stone, wax and other raw materials. There is a copper smelting furnace in a copper smelting workshop, which requires five people to cooperate with the operation, heat the copper smelting furnace, and continue to put in batches with less measurement into the raw materials configured according to the proportion, an unskilled coppersmith needs about 2 hours, and can smelt a tank of 5 catties of pure copper liquid. The molten copper can be used immediately to shape the copper ware, or it can be divided into five pieces of copper ingots weighing 1 kg and stored in the copper ingot warehouse.

The five copper smelting workshops of the Xiaobai tribe can produce 25 catties of pure copper at a time. After the NPC coppersmiths of the Sheep tribe learned how to operate the furnace, they worked alone in the five newly built copper smelting workshops in the sheep tribe camp. More than an hour can produce 50 pounds of pure copper.

Qin Xiaobai is commanding the crowd; The sheep watched from the side, calculated the amount of copper in a day, and said in surprise: "Big brother, if you let NPC craftsmen work 15 hours a day, then our ten copper smelting furnaces can produce more than 350 catties of pure copper in one day." We need to purchase at least 70,000 units of copper ore a day, which is a total of 350 copper coins based on the current market price of 1,000 units/50 copper coins. As long as 10 catties of pure copper can be minted a complete set of copper weapons and equipment, at least more than 2,000 copper coins can be sold. Profit up to 20 times! This profit is amazing! ”

Qin Xiaobai smiled, if the profits were not amazing, would he come to do this? He said, "You're missing two numbers. If there is an urgent shortage of raw materials for copper ore in the market, and the price soars by 10 times, then the profit of copper will directly drop to 2 times. If there is an overproduction of bronze weapons and equipment, and the price falls by half, then we will not be able to earn a single copper coin. ”

The sheep nodded and said, "Big brother, when do you say that the raw materials of copper ore will start to rise?" ”

Qin Xiaobai pondered for a moment and said, "The Zhou Shui Mansion has hoarded a part of the copper ore reserves in its hands and made bronze ordnance in the barracks. An NPC copper smelter in the city is buying up a portion of the copper ore in the market. As far as I know, this workshop has a master and four NPC coppersmith apprentices who have mastered the art of copper smelting. If nothing else, this copper smelting workshop will be divided, and the apprentices will open their own workshops. There will soon be 14 new NBSPs in town; In addition to NPCs, we are also buying copper ore in bulk here. I don't have any other players buying this item other than us. Sheep, you have to pay more attention to this, if other players are buying copper ore in bulk, then it means that they probably have copper smelting technology in their hands. Our competitors have also appeared, and at this time, I am afraid it is likely that it will be the time when the price of copper mines will start to rise. ”

The sheep nodded and smiled, "Well, I have some business brothers in the city, let them help me keep an eye on them." I'll soon find out if there's any movement in the market. Qin Xiaobai said: "Now we have limited funds in our hands, and there is no other way to do it, just to grab time with the prices in the market." Strive to quietly hoard a batch of cheap copper raw materials before the rise of copper raw materials. Strive to sell a batch of copper weapons and equipment when there are fewer weapons and equipment on the market. As long as we sell a batch of copper equipment, we have enough strength to compete with our competitors. ”

The sheep said: "Big brother, who will we sell the copper equipment we produce?" ”

Qin Xiaobai said: "After the first batch of copper equipment comes out, half of it will be kept to equip its own troops, and half will be sold to the thirty members of the Little White Army first, those guys are all rich now, and they are still staring at my copper equipment this morning and shouting to buy it." I promised to sell some of the copper equipment to them first. Hey, you go out and sell them and earn them a lot of money. It is not convenient for me to slaughter them. ”

The sheep laughed, "I said how did the eldest brother wear a full set of copper equipment to go out to kill Shanjung this morning, it turned out that he deliberately lured them to buy equipment!" ”

Qin Xiaobai also smiled, "Of course, if you don't tempt them, you can't bear it, how can they be willing to invest money to buy it." Bronze equipment is very expensive, and its lethality is somewhat stronger than that of stone equipment, but not much. But the problem is that the durability is too poor, and after five or six minutes of fierce fighting, the sharpness value will be damaged, and frequent repairs will be required. Copper equipment, I think the biggest advantage is that it looks particularly bright and dazzling, with an aristocratic temperament, walking in a group of barbarians wearing animal skin clothes, it is simply standing out from the crowd. When I wore my brass gear to level up this morning, their eyes widened, and they wanted to pull it off and put it on themselves.

However, it is estimated that they will buy at most one or two sets of copper equipment to show their identity, bubble mm, swagger through the market or something. Equipping an entire NPC army on a large scale is unlikely, and the amount of copper required is not yet affordable for that player. When you go to sell, you have to seize the extremely eye-catching, representative status of the point to sell, whether it is a man or a woman, and knock them their money.

After slaughtering them, go to other rich players in the city and slaughter them one by one. By the way, you can also take this opportunity to establish relations with the various power leaders in the city, so that it will be convenient to deal with them in the future. Try to be a neutral businessman and not clash with any power. ”

The sheep patted his chest to ensure that the task was completed, and said happily: "This matter is wrapped up in the little brother." ”
