118 Borrowing grain and fake accounts

In the weapons workshop, the old npc hunter Lu Shan spent a few days making several ordinary style bows: 1 level 10 short bow, 1 level 15 wooden bow, and 1 level 20 hardwood hunting bow. These are all small hand gestures for him, and there is no technical difficulty.

After a little proficient in his hand, he began to make a level 25 strengthened hunting bow. These level 25 strengthened hunting bows are more complicated, and the medium-grade hardwood required is made first by a carpenter and sent to him.

The little beggar suddenly slipped into the weapons workshop and was very curious about the bow and arrow. He asked the old hunter for the level 10 short bow. The old hunter didn't care much and gave him the little thing directly. The little beggar ran to Xiaobao of Huojia to ask for 10 short arrows, and ran happily to somewhere to play.

The old hunter began to make level 25 strengthened hunting bows wholeheartedly - Xiaobai Village now has only enough materials to make such level 25 strengthened hunting bows.

First, he made the bow handle, and he took two easy-to-bend materials [hedron wood] with good elasticity and toughness to make, which was about 120 cm long. The middle part of the bow handle was about 5 cm wide, and the two ends gradually narrowed until 1.5 cm. A groove was carved about 1.25 cm from the tail of the handle to fix the bow string. First, the shavings were flat and smooth, and after the bow handle was shaved, apply a layer of grease on the surface.

The tread of the bow handle is attached with corners, and then reinforced with high-quality fish glue, and peach skin on the outside is attached. The bow is a hyperbolic bow shape, with the tip of the bow being handled with a horny cushion, and the middle of the bow is inlaid with a piece of warm wood for easy hand grip.

The bow string is made of beef tendon and is wrapped with silk threads. When fixing the bow string, the bow handle is slightly tightened - only when the bow is drawn, the bow handle is further bent and tightened to provide considerable elasticity. First, buckle the bow string on the groove of the bow handle, and then wrap it two and a half circles.

After a lot of effort, a craftsmanship was completed and a level 25-level enhanced hunting bow was made.

[Strength Hunting Bow] - Level 25, intermediate long-range weapons, used with arrows. Objects of restraint: light infantry, light cavalry. Good bows, often used by experienced old hunters.

Performance: Range 100 meters, strength requires 10 points.

Consumable materials: hickory x2, beef tendon x1, high-quality fish glue x10, silk x5, keratin x5, oil x5.

After making this bow, the old hunter had no material for beef tendons, so he had to make a level 20 hunting bow. He did not forget to guide Huojia Xiaobao to make arrows. After all, having a good bow alone is not enough, and arrows must also be good.

Level 20 birch arrows can meet the needs of level 20 to 25 hunting bows.

[Birch Arrow] - Level 20, intermediate long-range weapon, can be used with intermediate bows. Objects of restraint: light infantry, light cavalry.

Performance: +2 attack, durability 30.

Consumable materials: iron x1, birch x1, pheasant feather x1.

The master and apprentice were repeatedly studying a lot of good materials, thinking about how to process them into high-quality bows and arrow weapons.

The skill of Liuying Feixue and Snow Cramps was escorted to the wild by a group of experts from Xiaobai Village in the village to look for the [trap] skills of the hunter on the grass. In conjunction with the elder Jianba, he arranged hidden traps at the wooden fence around the village to increase the defense of the wall. The other two disciples of the old hunter each looked for work.

......

The little beggar took a small broken bow to play. When he was in a state of interest, he suddenly regarded the Dog-headed Military Advisor Gou Buli as an imaginary enemy. He knew Gou Buli's origin. He shouted and fought and killed, and chased the whole village. "Dog-headed bandits, immediately stop surrendering to this general, shouting three times to spare your life, otherwise I will take your life."

Gou Buli ran away with his head in his arms and cursed in anger, and he had no choice but to do anything to this little ancestor.

It happened to meet the deputy village chief Li A San. Li A San quickly seized the little beggar's weapon, scolded him, and locked up the cottage for a long time. The little beggar was angry and had to cut clothes in the house.

......

Li Asan found Zhan Xiaobai in the courtyard and came forward to report: "Lord, the food in my village is about to be exhausted. I wonder what arrangements do you have?"

Zhan Xiaobai was currently inquiring about all the supplies in the village. His face was a little heavy, and he nodded and said, "Well, we will collect grain in a few days, but our surplus grain is only enough for one day, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on at that time. I'm thinking about this in the past two days."

"Once the food is exhausted, the morale of the villagers will plummet immediately, affecting the operation of the village and being very unfavorable to the construction of the village... The lord looks very calm. Is there a good solution to the problem?"

"There are several ways, but I don't know if it will work."

Four hundred villagers are very beneficial to improving the speed of village construction, but it is also a huge grain burden.

Zhan Xiaobai pondered in the courtyard, pondering the feasibility of several methods. There are only two ways to reduce staff and increase grain.

Reducing personnel means converting NPC villagers into NPC militias and transferring them to players at a low price (NPC villagers and villages are in a support relationship, while NPC militias and players are also in a support relationship. This transfer will not cause changes in the morale of NPC villagers. Players only need to ensure the normal supply of militias.)

Increased grain is nothing more than asking for food from others. But at the end of the month, most villages have very little surplus food.

Zhan Xiaobai focused on Pei Yuanshao.

This month, Pei Yuanshao has stored tens of thousands of kilograms of grain in the village. After deducting the withdrawal, there are still nearly 6,000 kilograms.

That night, when more than ten horse thieves were led by Wang Laohu to Xiaobai Village to collect food, Zhan Xiaobai asked him to bring a little word to Pei Yuanshao, wanting to talk to Pei Yuanshao. Over the past month, he has become familiar with these horse thieves, and it is easier to talk about things than before.

Wang Laohu smacked his lips, "My elder brother hasn't had time these two days!"

Zhan Xiaobai asked quickly, "Oh, what's wrong? Please tell me about Brother Wang."

Wang Laohu had no intention of keeping the information confidential. He cursed and told everything, and said angrily: "Damn, during this period, several groups of Qianghu horse thieves often crossed the border to get food. My elder brother was taking Cheng Lao Er and his brothers to fight with them. Those Qianghu horse thieves were very hard and difficult to deal with. Many brothers died. This matter would not be over in a few days."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Then what can I help?"

Wang Laohu stared at his eyes and said, "You? What can you help?" He laughed to the sky, "If you can help, then I, Wang Laohu, can't I, go sideways."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "I am not good at fighting in the field, but I have some experience in dealing with cavalry. I have a batch of weapons here and I want to give them to Chief Pei. I don't know if Brother Wang wants to see it? I guarantee you are satisfied."

Wang Laohu said disdainfully: "What kind of weapons can you have? Take them up and take a look."

Zhan Xiaobai asked someone to bring several bundles of iron lumps and throw them on the ground, at least hundreds of them.

Tiexue: Level 20 defense weapon, advanced blacksmith technology can be manufactured. Puncture attack, durability 5/5, 5 times used.

When Wang Laohu saw these dark little things, his face changed and he screamed in shock: "Damn it, Iron Quinoa, this thing is a good thing for the yin people. Why have you done so much?"

"Are you prepared for any trouble? Brother Wang see how these weapons are? Use them to the Qiang, Hu horse thieves. When both sides were running, they suddenly sprinkled a large area. The package would definitely make them fall into the trap and turn the horses over."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled. He originally wanted you to taste it, but since we have established a "mutually beneficial" relationship, it is useless. It is not bad to use it to make a deal.

Wang Laohu shouted happily, his eyebrows were trembling with joy, "Okay! I, Wang Laohu, like the tune of this Yin people. Brother Bai is really in line with my temper! Brother Bai has so many of these things, and I will send them to my elder brother overnight."

Zhan Xiaobai was calm and calm, "There are hundreds of them, so there is no hurry. I just want to borrow some food from you for emergency treatment. Brother Wang, look?"

Wang Laohu patted his chest and shouted: "A small matter, as long as he can kill the group of Qianghu horse thieves, a little food is nothing. There is no need to ask my elder brother, I, Wang Laohu, can make the decision... But don't mention this matter to Cheng Lao Er, that guy is so stingy. If he knows, he will definitely chatter in front of the elder brother. I, Wang Laohu, carry this matter alone."

Wang Laohu muttered in his heart: Mom, we, Wang Laohu, can't let the treacherous Cheng Lao Er give it to him.

Zhan Xiaobai laughed and bowed, "This is the best, thank you Brother Wang."

Wang Laohu ordered the horse thieves to put all the bundles of iron lumps in sacks of grain, then brought a small amount of grain and went to the wilderness far away.

Zhan Xiaobai only looked at the food they collected and felt that their situation was a little bad.

Those more than 240 kilograms of grain were only enough to eat more than 80 people a day. In other words, Pei Yuanshao and his group of horse thieves have recently lost nearly half of their staff. Under Pei Yuanshao's historical NPC leadership, such a large number of casualties have occurred. Those Qiang and Hu horse thieves are afraid that they are not easy to mess with. I don't know where they are.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't worry much about them. He had to deal with many troubles himself. Now that the food is guaranteed, he would not have to lay off employees from villagers, and everything would be normal. When this batch of more than 300 acres of grain is collected, their food crisis will be greatly alleviated, and there should be no serious shortage of food next month.

Li A San said happily: "The lord is such a god! Seeing the upcoming food crisis, it disappeared without a trace."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "Okay, when will I learn to flatter me?" He paused and said cautiously: "Now it's the end of the month. There is an important thing that you must deal with immediately."

Li A San didn't understand that the food danger had been resolved and all matters were carried out in an orderly manner. What else was there to do? He couldn't help but ask: "My lord, please speak, I will do it immediately."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Make a fake account."

Li A San was stunned, "This... is making fake accounts? I really can't figure out why the lord suddenly had this idea. Why are we doing fake accounts?"

"On the last day of the end of the month, our village will hand over 20% of its income to the prefectures and counties. Can you tell me that the money we finally earned can be paid for in vain?"

"This... it is natural for the imperial court to collect taxes. Although the tax is a bit heavy, it is not good to make fake accounts." After all, Li A-san was once an old village chief and had a lot of thoughts to be loyal to the Eastern Han court.

Zhan Xiaobai persuaded him: "If our village doesn't do it, other medium-sized villages will definitely do it. At that time, we will pay 20% of the income, while other villages will only pay 3 to 5% of the income. Isn't that weakening our own strength? There will be no effect in one or two months, but over time, our village will fall behind other medium-sized villages. Think about it carefully."

Li A San hesitated for a long time and sighed, "That's it... Then follow the lord's orders."

After he agreed, he began to figure out how to reduce the money, grain and other income on the village's books.

Of course, this fake account cannot be easily made. There are extremely detailed records on the system, and it will not work if it cannot be checked. 20% will still be deducted and transferred to the property books of the prefectures and counties.

Li A San worked hard for a while and had no progress. He wiped his sweat and asked for instructions: "Lord, please ask Elder Jianba to help. I really can't do this by myself."

Zhan Xiaobai smiled and found the sword bull.

Jianba followed Zhan Xiaobai to the courtyard and laughed: "Fake account? Xiaobai, you really know how to find people. Does my Jianba look like the kind of master who makes fake accounts? I am absolutely a serious businessman!"

......

No one knows whether Jianba is a serious businessman. However, the fake accounts he made Li A-san ashamed and admired.

Jianba mobilized various incomes and asked Wutong Village to cooperate on the books. The two villages borrowed property from each other, spent a lot of money, borrowed at high prices, and borrowed at low prices. After several rounds, they lost the net income of grain in the end. Xiaobai Village owed a large sum of grain in Wutong Village. Even if the harvest is good next month, they would give priority to repaying the loan without paying a grain.

There are very few incomes in copper coins, property, raw materials, weapons, etc.

Xiaobai Village symbolically paid a copper coin tax. Officials from prefectures and counties were afraid that they would vomit blood when they saw this book.

Not only Xiaobai Village, but almost all the medium-sized villages in the game have used this trick. However, the clever ones are doing nothing, and the clever ones are deducted a lot of money.
