"What's up with these people?" After entering the village, he didn't expect there to be people. However, these people weren't mountain bandits. They were all refugees in ragged clothes. He couldn't help but frown and ask.
When Guo Liang heard this, his forehead was covered in sweat. However, he did not dare to be negligent and said honestly,"Hero, please forgive me. These are the people we kidnapped to farm for us.”
"Mountain bandits still need to farm?" Bull said disapprovingly.
Guo Liang forced a smile and said," This hero has gone too far. In the past two years, disasters have been happening nonstop. The government has been exploiting them severely, so the commoners rarely have food in reserve. Those of us who do business without capital often starve, and we don't know how to farm. Therefore, we have captured some commoners to help us farm. Half of our usual food is obtained by robbing, and we usually rely on these commoners to farm to maintain our livelihood.”
"My lord, our village has just been built and we need a group of villagers. Why don't we take these people into the village?”Before the village was built, Zhang Xue had already begun to plan for the development of the village.
"Alright, you can handle this matter.”Lu Bu nodded his head and directly handed this matter over to Zhang Xue. Every time he agreed to a suggestion from his subordinate, the intimacy would increase more or less. In order to avoid the suspicion of adding up the number of words, he did not mention it in detail in the future.
Zhang Xue accepted the order. Although her Political Attribute was only 18 points, in ancient times, there were some talents of a state or a county. According to the calculation of the jurisdiction area, each point of Political Attribute represented that the player or NPC could easily manage 10 square kilometers. 18 Political Attribute meant that Zhang Xue could manage up to 180 square kilometers. This was only under the initial situation of not having any identity. When she obtained some official positions, the official positions would also increase the management area. The higher the official position, the more effective the management area was. The range of the bonus increased.
Very easily, Zhang Xue distributed some food to the refugees who had families and sent them away. In the end, 28 refugees were left behind. These refugees were all homeless and were the easiest to manage in the early stages.
Following that, Guo Liang obediently handed a village blueprint to Lu Bu. At the same time, the system sent a notification:
" Ding: Congratulations player Lu Fengxian, the small village leader Guo Liang is willing to offer all the capital of the village to you. Do you agree?"”
"You want to follow me?" Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Guo Liang. He didn't think much of this useless bandit leader, but since he had offered the capital of the village to him just for a place to stay, it would be too unreasonable if he didn't accept it.
"Hero, please take me in. I can do anything!”Guo Liang hurriedly nodded.
"Farming Association?" Lu Bu laughed.
"..." Guo Liang choked and shook his head awkwardly.
"Other than robbing, what else can you do?”Lu Bu asked again.
"This…I won't hide this from you, Hero. Before I became a bandit, I was a chef in Nanpi City. I can cook for you!”Guo Liang's rough face turned red. Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a saying that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen. Cooking had always been done by women. If a man did this, he would be laughed at.
"Wen Hou, let this person stay. After the village is built, we will need to open an inn, and an inn will need a chef. We don't have such talents right now. Moreover, we can recruit generals from the wilderness and obtain some information from the inn, which is very useful.”Bull advised.
"Alright, in the future, you will help me manage the restaurant. If you hear any news, inform me immediately.”Lu Bu didn't really care about these things. Since Barbaric Bull said so, he would do as he said.
"Thank you, my lord. I have decided to open the most famous restaurant for you.”Guo Liang was overjoyed, thumping his chest loudly.
" Ding! Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian. You have received the service of a low-level general and high-level chef, Guo Liang. Guo Liang is grateful for your kindness and is willing to contribute all his family's assets. You have successfully become the owner of the original Guo Liang Mountain Stronghold. You can build a village here or occupy the mountain as your king. You have received a Basic Village Construction Blueprint, a Basic Inn Construction Blueprint, a Basic Blacksmith Shop Blueprint, 182 units of food, 264 units of wood, 236 units of stone, 48 units of iron ore, and 18 weapons. 7 spears, 17 short bows, 28 refugees, 523 copper coins.”

"How do I use this village blueprint?" Lu Bu looked at the three blueprints that suddenly appeared in his hand and looked at Barbaric Bull and Zhang Xue in confusion.
Barbarian Bull was already numb to Lu Bu's ignorance. Together with Zhang Xue, he explained to Lu Bu that if he wanted to build a village on empty land, not only would he need the village blueprint, but he would also need the corresponding resources. However, now that he had occupied Guo Liang's stronghold, as long as he used the village blueprint, the system would use the stronghold as the foundation and make some slight changes. The previous Basic Gathering Hall would be changed into a meeting hall. Moreover, there were already some thatched cottages that had to be built in the stronghold, which were directly converted into Basic Houses by the system. There was also a warehouse and the original stockade gate that had become a simple fence gate of the village.
In less than ten minutes, this small village had turned into a basic village with 32 villagers (including Lu Bu's group of four).
"Ding! Congratulations to player Lu Fengxian for successfully building a Basic Village. Please name the village.”
"Let's call it Flying Bears Village." After such a long period of adapting and understanding, Lu Bu had already gotten used to the system notifications. Hearing this, he very arbitrarily set the village name to Flying Bear Village. This name came from the name of the cavalry army he had led before-Flying Bear Army.
" Huaxia System Announcement: Player Lu Fengxian of Nanpi County, Bohai County, Jizhou, Huaxia Region has successfully established a Basic Village-Flying Bear Village. As this village is the first village established by players in Hero, the player is rewarded with five houses, three Basic Talents, 10 Militia, and 10 Reputation Points.”
The moment the system announcement ended, the Chinese service area was in an uproar. It was very difficult to build a village in the early stages of the game because the chances of finding a village blueprint in the wild were very low. It was difficult for many players to find it together. Moreover, to obtain a village blueprint, one needed to collect 100 each of the three resources of wood, stone, and iron ore. In the early stages, the players did not have many farmers under them. Even if they did, they would only have two or three farmers. It had only been a few hours since the game started.(Game time), it was impossible for two or three Peasants to gather enough resources in such a short time. It was hard to imagine how Lu Fengxian had built the village. Could it be that Lu Bu, the God of War, had attacked the village directly? Not many people would believe this conclusion.
Originally, there were three houses in the village, each of which could accommodate five people. With the five houses rewarded by the system, it was enough for the 28 villagers, three elementary talents, and 10 militia to live in. Lu Bu and the other three stayed in the meeting hall, which was not only the place for the village chief to discuss matters, but also had five rooms for living. Therefore, as the only advanced living talent in the village, Guo Liang had made great contributions to the construction of the village, so he was allowed to stay in the meeting hall temporarily by Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Guo Liang's loyalty increased a little, reaching 67.
A new village required a lot of work to be done, but Lu Bu wasn't the type of person to do that. He had irresponsibly left the development of the village to Barbaric Bull and Zhang Xue. He was very confident in the two of them. Zhang Xue didn't need to say anything, but with Barbaric Bull's explanation, it would be very difficult for them to rebel. As for Barbaric Bull, after spending some time with him, Lu Bu was also very confident. Although Lu Bu was a general, his ability to judge people was not inferior to Cao Cao or Liu Bei. He could still tell who was loyal and who was treacherous.
In fact, the main task of building the village still fell on Zhang Xue. Because Raging Bull was a player and had modern thinking, he could give some good development suggestions. However, the main decision was still made by Zhang Xue. Although 61's intelligence was not high, according to the system's settings, 61's intelligence was definitely comparable to an outstanding graduate student.
The grading method for strategists was similar to that of generals. Those below 60 were divided into three levels, with each level being counted every 20 points. They were divided into middle, intermediate, and advanced levels. 61 to 80 were third-rate strategists, 81 to 90 were second-rate strategists, 91 to 93 were first-rate strategists, 94 to 95 were super-first-rate strategists, and 96 to 99 were top-notch strategists. In addition, strategists were divided into internal and strategic strategists. Internal strategists looked at politics in addition to intelligence, while strategic strategists looked at intelligence.
With Zhang Xue's 18 years of political experience, it was a bit of a waste of her talent to govern a village that was less than a mile in radius. However, Zhang Xue was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, she managed the village in an orderly manner. In just two days, the number of villagers in the village increased by 21. It was a sight to behold. At the same time, she felt ashamed of Zhang Xue's intelligence. Usually, when she gave a suggestion, others would be able to draw inferences from one instance. Moreover, Zhang Xue was mainly a strategist with a strong view of the big picture. From the very beginning, the village was built as a city. The planning was very appropriate, and even a boor like Lu Bu praised it.
The maximum population of a primary village was 100. There was also a subsidiary village. After Zhang Xue's request and Lu Bu's approval, the subsidiary village would be built on the third day when the village's population reached 68. This time, there was no help from the system. Everything had to be built by themselves. Of the 68 villagers (excluding the militia), except for 24 who were responsible for farming, the rest were sent to build the subsidiary village.
Lu Bu was not idle either. He had contributed greatly to the village's rapid development. In three days, Lu Bu had picked six small villages. All the construction blueprints and resources needed for the village's construction had been single-handedly prepared by Lu Bu. If it were not for the time needed for transportation and the fact that the village did not have any defense forces, there would have been more than this number. At the same time, Bull had also seen the effect of Lu Bu's bravery. Although the six villages were all small, they had also improved the village's security. The people's hearts had greatly increased, and as a result, there were many more refugees joining the village every day.
Furthermore, Lu Bu did not forget to train while he was fighting. The intensity of the training almost scared Bull out of his wits. The first Intermediate Blacksmith recruited by the village was tasked with forging a set of armor for Lu Bu. He did not need it to be exquisite, but the only requirement was that it was heavy. 30 kilograms of armor was very difficult for Lu Bu, who was only comparable to a special forces soldier, to carry. However, Lu Bu was able to carry it and continuously attack cities and strongholds. He rarely took it off during battle. The speed at which Lu Bu's combat strength increased surprised Bull as well. In just three days, it had increased to 18 points, which was an average of 2.30 points per day. Under Lu Bu's guidance, Bull had trained very hard for the past three days, but he had only increased his combat strength from 2 to 5 points.
Whether it was martial strength or intelligence, it was harder to improve as one progressed. From this, one could see how insane Lu Bu's training was.
