189 The vast prairie
189 Thousands of miles of vast grassland
Seeing that recruiting farmers was very effective, Zigong Changfeng successfully recruited a new NPC farmer and said happily: "Ha, this is too easy! It turns out that the management and construction of the village is so simple, and I have always wondered how other villages recruit so many farmers. Now it's easy, I can fill our village's population in two days."
"Don't rush to recruit so many farmers. It is the main thing to transport grain from Baling Village and Matayin Mountain Village quickly, otherwise you will suffer. You will first recruit five or six farmers to build three thatched huts of residents. When the grain comes, it can expand rapidly. Recruit more than ten farmers to cut down wood and mine in nearby trees."
Zhan Xiaobai talked about the work flow to Zigong Changfeng, and Zigong Changfeng nodded repeatedly. He knew nothing about these things, and he heard that Zhan Xiaobai was sure to be correct. He then waited next to the jade in the courtyard to brush the farmers.
The deputy village chief and the newly recruited farmer were stunned and didn't know how to find work.
Zhan Xiaobai urged the newly recruited farmers to build a thatched hut.
He also asked the deputy village chief and farmer to modify the management settings of Xiaohei Village and add a guest elder: Xiaobai. (Guest Master: not a player in this village or npc.)
In this way, he has the management authority second only to Xiao Hei and the deputy village chief, and is at the level of elders like Zigong Changfeng.
Zi Gong Changfeng didn't say much when he saw it, but just smiled.
Before the evening, all the early preparations for Xiaohei Village were completed.
The fence wall was repaired, and the small wild animals two or three miles around the village were cleaned up, and two thatched huts were built. The first batch of 200 kilograms of grain from Matayinshan Village had also been transported, which enabled Xiaohei Village to have the ability to rapidly expand its population.
By the morning of the next day, Xiaohei Village had twenty farmers. Ten were assigned to log and build new buildings. Ten began to dig the surface of Xiaohei Village to find mineral sites. Xiaohei Village is located in a remote hill valley. The nearby surface is mostly rocks and sand and gravel, and only a small piece of land is suitable for farming.
The farmers have successively dug up some fragmented stones, including gold, silver, copper and other components, but the main ore veins have not been found yet. The discovery of these fragmented ores has greatly strengthened the confidence of Xiaobai Village, Baling Village, and Matayin Mountain Village. At least their early investment can earn back the capital.
Zhan Xiaobai estimated that according to the current process, it will take some time to find and dig out the main mine vein, and then there will be a mining site, a division of mines, or even refining. I am afraid that it will not be completed in a short period of time, and there will be no results in less than ten days. The most important thing is that some specialized craftsmen are needed to further process the minerals.
Zhan Xiaobai didn't have so much time to stay in this place, and he had to rush to the grassland to attend the event. After he explained to Zigong Changfeng, he took the nine people from Xiaobai Village to say goodbye to everyone and walked up the grassland.
grassland.
Zhan Xiaobai, A Fei, Lu Shan, Zhou Meng, Cheng Jian, and the Light and Dark Team, went on a long journey and gradually entered the base camp of the Qiang tribe - Xiqiang. After going deep into the Western Qiang land, the gentle mountains were undulating and the soil gradually fertile. The grass on the grassland also gradually became plump and plump, suitable for large-scale grazing.
Zhan Xiaobai saw the endless mountains and grasslands, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This land in Xiqiang is good! If you don't mention anything else, it's absolutely okay to build a pasture here and raise a large group of cavalry. How much food can you leave? And the territory is large, so it's also easy to train cavalry."
A Fei said excitedly: "Brother, do you think there are red rabbit horses on this grassland? If we have a red rabbit, sweat and blood, and form a red rabbit and sweat and blood cavalry team, it would be great. The whole world has to look up at it ninety degrees. Which Lu Bu, Guan Yu came out, and we had to stare at it. They only had one, and we would have more than ten horses as soon as we appeared. We would be angry without fighting. Then we would get a group of powerful NPC generals and bombard them in turn. When Lu Bu came, he would have to beat him down."
Zhan Xiaobai laughed: "This idea is good. But we have to search the entire nearly one million kilometers of grassland in the Western Qiang land, and we may be able to gather ten and twenty red rabbits with sweat and blood. But some of us are busy, and we have to search the territory of thousands of Qiang tribes on the grassland. Ah Fei, why don't we send you to the grassland to find red rabbits with sweat and blood?"
A Fei quickly shrank his neck and laughed: "Don't, I don't have this ability. I can't find my grandson even if I was born."
Behind the Light, I waited for someone to come to the grassland and was more familiar with the situation here.
The light smiled behind him and said, "Boss, if we can really build a ranch here, that would be a good thing. But the Qiang people refused to build a village on the grassland, and there would definitely be no player villages on the grassland. Even if a player came from other places to build a village, he would be beaten and destroyed by the Qiang tribe in a day."
The old hunter Lu Shan said, "Yes. The power of the government is limited to Liangzhou, and it cannot control the prairie of the Western Qiang land beside Liangzhou. The Qiang people have lived on this prairie for hundreds of years. It is difficult for adults to build a new pasture here!"
Zhan Xiaobai nodded slightly, and it must be difficult. However, the matter is due to humans. The system has made various restrictions, which restricts players from developing on the grassland, so it is naturally a purpose.
But he didn't believe there was no sew inside. If he could convince Beigong Boyu, the chief of the Qianghu tribe, to allow him to build a ranch here, things would be easy. If the Qiang people refused, there would be some trouble.
Behind the light, "Although the Qiang tribe refuses players to build villages here, they will not kill players at will. Players can do other things on the grassland, such as leveling, doing business, fighting monsters and exploding raw materials. If you are lucky, you may be able to collect precious snow lotus. So in the grassland, you can see many players leveling up. And many are high-level players from afar. If you want to obtain precious herbs, horses, buffalo skins and other items on the grassland, the village chief of Matayinshan Village made a fortune by taming wild horses. The only one in the village has the largest income."
Speaking of taming horses, the players couldn't help but look at Lu Shan. Because among the crowd, only the old hunter Lu Shan knew this skill. The purpose of their trip was to rush to wild horses. Whether the harvest was great depends entirely on whether Lu Shan's unique skills were powerful.
When the old hunter Lu Shan saw everyone looking at him, he couldn't help but say, "My taming skills are much better than that of the child. There are no wild horses on this grassland that I can't tame. As long as we can take root in this grassland and have a stable pasture, I can immediately tame the wild horses. The horses I trained are no problem in marching and fighting."
Everyone laughed.
"I'll feel relieved if Mr. Lu's bold words."
They were walking with laughter and chatting. Along the way, you could occasionally see flocks of wild sheep at level 20 to level 30 to level 40, and wild horses at level 20 to level 40. Their numbers range from hundreds to thousands. These things are not easy to mess with. The huge bisons are crazy, and even the Qiang and Hu cavalry cannot stop them. They must avoid their sharp edge.
The player can only watch from a distance and dare not kill those wild animals that are too large, but can only hunt down those lonely wild animals.
The easier to deal with are dozens of wild donkeys of level 20, with low attack power and easy to kill. There are also groups of 30-5 wild camels of level 30. If players who are leveling on the grassland encounter large pieces of herbs growing on the grassland, they will also collect herbs and wait until they return to the player's village to sell them.
Zhan Xiaobai saw a small group of wild camels in the distance. He was very interested for a moment and pointed at the group of camels and asked Lu Shan: "Old Lu, can you tame wild camels?"
Lu Shan was stunned for a moment, "Camels? What are they training to do? They run too slowly and cannot be used to fight."
Zhan Xiaobai explained: "Camel cavalry is a group of soldiers in the desert. Grassland and plains are rarely used, and neither Qiang or Han people use this kind of soldiers, but people in the Western Regions can use it."
Lu Shan said: "I can tame camels, but I don't know much about camel cavalry and can't train the kind of camels to fight camels. I heard that hundreds of miles after the West Sea, the hinterland of the Western Qiang land, passed by, there was a large desert, maybe there was this camel cavalry."
A Fei was curious, "What big desert? There are also big deserts on the grasslands?"
Zhan Xiaobai smiled and said, "It's the desert of the Qaidam Basin, west of Qinghai Lake."
A Fei suddenly realized, "Oh, I almost forgot. I said where the desert came out! This Xiqiang land is not Qinghai, right? The Xihai should be Qinghai Lake!"
"correct!"
The players laughed.
A Fei asked pesteredly: "Where is the old nest of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou? I heard that they are the Yicong of Huangzhong, what does that mean?"
As a Di people, Lu Shan knew a lot about this and said in a respectful tone: "The tribes of these two great chiefs occupy the most fertile grassland of Sun and Moon Mountain in Huangzhong, the western Qiang land. They are the most powerful Qiang tribe on the grassland, wearing tens of thousands of armors. These two people are respected on this grassland."
A Fei smacked his tongue, "Damn, there are tens of thousands of armored soldiers in Qiang cavalry, and there are so many people. If you don't block the gods and kill gods and Buddhas, no wonder you dare to take the lead in rebellion."
They talked about things on the grassland while walking, without restraint and no boredom.
Suddenly, some chaotic horse hooves and neighing sounds came from a distance. Nearly a hundred horse riding players were chasing and blocking a fiery wild wild horse leader. The fiery wild horse leader jumped wildly, and wherever they hit, everyone was overturning the horse. Nearly a hundred and ten horse riding players couldn't stop it.
