"What is it? Your tribe has already built a village?”
When they received Mu Yang's visit, the people of Ah Niu's previous village were very surprised, especially the ordinary NPC villagers who had lower requirements.
The other high-level NPCs were also surprised by the rapid development of the poor tribe. They did not expect that they would quickly build a village and even have the strength to kill bandits and complete the test.
Mu Yang was overjoyed. He knew that he had barely met the requirements to attract this batch of special NPCs. As long as he increased his efforts and spent some money, he should be qualified to recruit them.
If not, he would not hesitate even if he had to pay double the reward. However, that highly respected village elder Mao Chang poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
"It's just a village with good luck. We don't even care about the big black village, let alone such a small place.”
The supposedly highly respected Elder Maochang said bluntly. At the same time, he hinted and reminded,"Have you forgotten that you are going to Yongchang County? With your abilities, you won't have to worry about food and drink, and you won't have to worry about any life-threatening dangers.”
The few skill NPCs thought about it and shook their heads. They immediately smiled and rejected Mu Yang's invitation.
The other elders also advised kindly,"Young man, don't aim too high. With your current conditions, it's very difficult to attract us.”
When Mu Yang heard this and saw the intelligence of these elders, he knew that it was impossible to subdue them.
With the size of Ah Niu's village, it was a large village with hundreds of people living in it. Most of them were high-level talents like Ah Niu's parents. Although it had been destroyed, Elder Mao Chang and the others were still skilled. They had high standards and naturally did not care about the small village that Mu Yang had just built.
That made sense. If it wasn't for Elder Mao Chang and the others wanting to move to the city, how could Ah Niu, this fanatical tamer, be so easily subdued by him?
After thinking about it, Mu Yang finally understood.
Just as he was about to bid farewell and leave, he heard Elder Mao Chang pause for a moment and say,""We will leave tomorrow and head to Yongchang County. We will pass by your village and visit the other clansmen.”
"You're welcome anytime!"
Although he did not manage to invite anyone, Mu Yang was not too dejected. He still generously welcomed them, then bid farewell to the others and went back.
When he returned, Hundred Ages had already successfully built the woodworking workshop and started making some ordinary tools.
The three of them and Chen Da welcomed him at the same time."Several players have already appeared near the village. They are scattered and shouting to join the village. If it was not resolved as soon as possible, it would easily cause chaos and trouble.”
There weren't many villages in the area yet, and he reckoned that he was the only village in the area. If the players didn't rush over immediately, a large number of players would be attracted in the near future.
As for whether or not to recruit players, the four elders could not help but nod and frown.
Savage Sword and Savage Heart were experienced in this area. They immediately said,""The players 'labor efficiency is far inferior to the NPC farmers. The sowing at the beginning of the month is related to the harvest at the end of the month. Moreover, recruiting players would easily result in many negative effects. Most importantly, the village's population was limited, and there were too many players.”
The biggest problem for normal players was that they had no organization or discipline. They had a lot of people, and they did not obey the management. It was a lot of trouble.
Mu Yang knew what the two of them meant. They had already made it very vague, and Baishi also felt that it was troublesome.
Once the first ordinary player was publicly recruited, the others would follow suit. With just 50 slots, there would be dozens of players. If they recruited players, there would probably not even be enough farmers.
Hero players were more capable than more. After all, most Hero players chose Hero Mode because they envied freedom. Their character determined that ordinary Hero players would not accept the unified management of the village by the feudal lords.
Hummer immediately said,"It's more lively with more players, but it's also troublesome with more people." In the past, when they played games, the gang members would always fight and not listen to orders. It was also very annoying.”
As a businessman, Hundred Ages naturally understood these principles. He also had to be smooth in managing his employees, so he agreed,"That's right, these are indeed some troublesome things, so we have to unify our views and temporarily not accept players.”
The five of them couldn't help but nod in agreement. Mister Chen had no intention of dealing with all kinds of players, so everyone agreed that they wouldn't accept players for the time being.
Mu Yang saw that everyone had agreed not to accept Hero players for the time being, so he concluded,""We still need the backbone of the hero players. When the time comes, I will implement it in another way.”
Then, he asked Mister Chen to put up a notice saying that they were not recruiting players at the moment.
Then, the deputy village chief Chen Da reported that he had successfully recruited another ordinary NPC farmer. At the same time, he had already started working in the fields, and the speed of farming had increased slightly.
"My lord, there are currently 8 farmers in the village, and 11 mu of land has been reclaimed. By using the plow, the plowing speed has been greatly increased. The effect is very obvious, and it can increase the plowing speed by 30%. They were recruiting villagers according to the lord's instructions. It was estimated that the speed would be faster in the near future. At this speed, they would be able to reclaim about 40 mu of fertile land by the end of the 5th.”
General Chen made a rough calculation of the current situation in the village and reported unhurriedly.
Normal farmland could produce 50 catties of grain per mu, while his own farmland could produce 35 catties of grain per mu. At the end of the month, he could harvest nearly 1,200 catties of grain.
According to the calculation of the village's full population, the next month's grain harvest was enough for a month's use. However, the small village would develop and improve. Once the small village reached the requirements to upgrade to a medium-sized village, it could still continue to recruit people. At that time, there would be a huge shortage of food, and food would always be a problem!
If his own village was in trouble, the other villages probably wouldn't be doing too well either. The system would not suppress players too much in the early stages of the game. Mu Yang believed that things would work out when they came to it.
However, after Chen Da reported the situation, he said worriedly,""My lord, although recruiting more farmers will help us plowing the fields faster, based on our current situation of recruiting villagers with all our strength, we can probably recruit 5-10 people a day. In just a few days, we can recruit all the members of the small village. The village only had 200 or so rations, which was impossible to satisfy the 50 full members. Based on the current number of members, the food supply for the later part of the month was already relatively tight. If this continued, the food consumption would be cut off before the end of the month. Once there was a shortage of food, it might cause the morale of the villagers to drop and cause panic. Even the villagers might flee. In serious cases, there might even be riots. This could not be ignored.”
After Mu Yang heard Mister Chen's official report, he was surprised that the villagers were recruited so quickly. He signaled for him to not be anxious and then carefully understand them.
Big Chen looked worried, but he still spoke in a calm manner.
"My lord, ordinary villagers need to consume one jin of food every day. Currently, there are 13 people in total. Excluding the village chief and the four elders (Elder Chen and Ah Niu are direct subordinates and do not account for the population), they have a daily supply of eight jin of food. The imperial court would provide a total of 250 catties of food for the village. In addition, Elder Ah Niu could tame wild beasts as his family beasts and could obtain dried meat from wild beasts as food. The total amount of wild beast resources was estimated to be about 200 catties. In total, it would be about 450 catties of food. It was enough to support the current population until the end of the month. However, if they continued to recruit people, they would need to consume nearly 50 catties of food every day after the population was full. In a month, they would have a huge shortage of more than 50 catties.”
There was a shortage of nearly a thousand pounds of food!
As he listened and calculated, Savage Sword and the others were all shocked by the situation. How could there be such a huge discrepancy? It was difficult for them to supply more than 500 kilograms of food, and the wild beasts were limited. This was really a big problem.
Only the tribe leader Mu Yang himself knew the stakes involved.
As he listened, Mu Yang gradually frowned. He should think of a way to deal with this problem. In the early stages of the game, the system would not force players to die.
If he kept recruiting NPCs, he would run out of food. However, if they did not continue to recruit NPCs, how could the development of the village speed up? Did they have to stop the progress of the village temporarily?
The population problem was the key. It was impossible to stop recruiting villagers because of a lack of food.
Moreover, the terrain in front of the small village was flat and not easy to defend. They needed to quickly develop some military forces, and recruiting militia could not be separated from the guarantee of food resources.
After a few days, the players would come and there would be more and more of them. Fighting and causing trouble would cause the village to be in trouble.
"Pass down the order to do everything possible to find food resources. If you have any good ideas, report them in time and you will be rewarded heavily.”Mu Yang quickly gave the order, and Savage Sword and the others began to move.
" Reporting to my lord," Chen Da immediately suggested," We can use fish to alleviate the shortage of food."”
Fishing was indeed a good method. Fish could fill up the food supply without raising any objections from the villagers.
Mu Yang knew this. There was a resource near the river, but there were no tools like fishing nets. The speed of catching fish by hand was too slow and time-consuming.
"My lord, I once stayed in a village near the other side of the river for a period of time. I found that some villagers in their village went into the river to fish and even made fish nets. I suggest that we should go buy fish nets and let some villagers catch fish to supplement the lack of food.”
Mu Yang was impressed by Eldest Chen's unhurried report. But it was a good plan after all, and he immediately praised him.
"Well done, we'll do as you say.”Mu Yang made the arrangements.
"Thank you, my lord."
[Congratulations!] Because Chen Da's suggestion was adopted, both the body and mind were happy. Loyalty increased by 5, Morale increased by 5.
Seeing that his suggestion had been accepted by the lord, Mister Chen was unusually happy and walked away with a smile.
Mu Yang was rather surprised. Eldest Chen was quite intelligent and knew how to take the initiative to give suggestions. He had a bright future ahead of him. However, it was not a good habit to speak slowly without leaving the lord's side for three sentences. It was really anxious to death!
P.S.: It's the second update. I hope everyone will add it to their collection first. It's constantly updated!
