With the Famous Name of the Three Kingdoms

"..." Sensing Wu Meng's smiling eyes, Qin Xiaobai didn't know what to do, but he didn't care about these details, the most important thing was to recruit blacksmiths.

So he looked like a good village head, and said kindly to the three brothers of the Niu family: "I am Qin Xiaobai, the head of Yandang Village. Please tell me what you need, and I will definitely solve your problems."

When the three Niu family brothers heard this, they looked at each other, and then Niu Da, who was the biggest elder brother, stood up, cupped his hands at Qin Xiaobai and said in a low voice:

"Since Village Chief Qin said so, then we will be blunt. The reason why we don't want to stay in Yandang Village is because the iron mines in Yandang Village are too scarce."

"Too little iron ore?" Qin Xiaobai wondered. Junior blacksmiths can consume at most 1 unit of iron ore per day. After the village is built, there will be 100 units of iron ore of its own. Three people should be enough for at least a month, right? .

"Yes, our three brothers are all senior blacksmiths. We consume hundreds of iron ore every day. We can use up all the iron ore in your village in three days. We have nothing to do when the iron ore is used up. Let's drink the northwest wind..."

The third child of the Niu family was not as mature and stable as his elder brother, and he was directly dissatisfied with this little village chief who had no self-knowledge and pestered the three brothers.

Only when Niu gave him a big stare did Niu San snort and didn't continue talking.

"Ahem... it's the old man Meng Lang, the three great talents shouldn't be relegated to this village."

Wu Meng was shocked when he heard that the three brothers of the Niu family needed so much.

And without asking clearly first, the victimized lord was ridiculed, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, and immediately said that the three brothers of the Niu family could leave at will, and he would never stop him again.

Qin Xiaobai scoured a lot of basic materials in the player trading area in Guangwu County, but there was no iron ore. The 100 units of iron ore in the village were given away by the system when the village was built.

Because iron ore is different from wood and stone, this kind of basic material that can be mined everywhere, iron ore is a scarce resource in the "world".

Most of the iron ore resources in China are occupied by the imperial court, but the imperial court does not have enough money to support tens of millions of troops, so very few of them can fall into the hands of players.

The three brothers of the Niu family have such a huge demand for iron ore, which is not something that a small player village like Yandang Village can get their hands on. Only a system city like Guangwu County can afford it.

"Wait a minute, the three are great talents, but whoever said that our Yandang Village can't afford it."

Different from Wu Meng, Qin Xiaobai was full of surprise when he heard this. He thought it was three junior blacksmiths, but he didn't expect it to be three senior blacksmiths.

Junior blacksmiths can only make simple iron farm tools, but advanced blacksmiths can make soldiers' armor and equipment, and the efficiency of refining iron ore is ten times higher than that of junior blacksmiths.

In the early stage of the game, it was extremely rare to see talents of high-level professions. If he encountered three at once, there would be no reason for him to let them go.

"Cunnel Chief Qin is serious?" Niu Da couldn't help being a little puzzled when he heard the words, and Niu Er and Niu San even doubted the words written on their faces. Naturally, such a scarcity of iron ore is not so easy to get. .

"Of course it's true." Qin Xiaobai completely ignored Wu Meng's repeated coughing and his fierce winks.

Patting his chest, he promised to the three brothers of the Niu family: "The three of you can rest assured to stay in Yandang Village, and I will not short you half a day, otherwise you can leave at any time."

"If it is true, we can live in the village for a long time.

"The three brothers of the Niu family were still skeptical, but seeing that Qin Xiaobai, as the head of a village, assured them like this, coupled with the promise that they could leave at any time, the three brothers finally agreed to temporarily settle down in Yandang Village.

Qin Xiaobai was overjoyed and quickly asked Wu Meng to arrange a residence for the three brothers of the Niu family and build a blacksmith shop.

"My lord, you must never lose your trust, or you will lose your reputation."

Wu Meng was in a hurry, he knew Qin Xiaobai was good at fooling around, but he didn't expect him to boast so much, he hurriedly pulled Qin Xiaobai aside and said.

Prestige is extremely important in 'The World'. After reaching a certain amount, one can be appointed as an official by the imperial court. If it becomes a negative number, it will greatly reduce the popularity and security of the people in the territory.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. Iron mines are difficult for others, but it's not a problem for me at all." Qin Xiaobai said with a smile.

Yandang Mountain is poor and bad, why will it become the treasure mountain that the entire Guangwu County, and even the entire Yandang County players dream of in the future?

All because of one reason, that is because Yandang Mountain was discovered later, and there are iron ore veins in the mountain, and it is very rich.

In this "world" where iron ore is a scarce resource, whoever owns iron ore controls the resource economy.

Iron ore can also be refined into armor. Whoever controls the iron ore can have a steady stream of combat power.

That's why Yandang Mountain is so important, and therefore, anyone can be short of iron ore, except Qin Xiaobai.

And Qin Xiaobai's extreme development of the village now is to have the strength to develop Yandang Mountain as soon as possible, and to monopolize this big cake.

Of course, Qin Xiaobai would not talk to Wu Mengxiang before he had no strength.

Wu Meng, however, thought that Qin Xiaobai was continuing to use the Dafa of fooling around, so he couldn't help but pour out his bitterness:

"My lord, there are no lumber mills or quarries in the village. It is extremely inefficient and too slow for the villagers to mine these basic materials. The supply of the extremely developed village is in short supply."

"The development of the village can be slowed down for a while. What is really imminent is that there are more and more villagers in the village. Each villager consumes an average of one unit of grain per day. There are only 321 units of grain left in the village, and the grain and grass will be exhausted tomorrow... ..."

Qin Xiaobai smiled slightly. He knew that Wu Meng presented the data of various economic crises in Yandang Village to remind him that he should fulfill the promise he said yesterday to solve the resource worries today, so he said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. I'll take care of this myself. By the way, Mr. Wu will draw 30, no, 50 strong men from the village. I want to train soldiers."

"My lord still needs to train soldiers?"

Wu Meng originally waited for Qin Xiaobai to find his way back, but Qin Xiaobai didn't care about it, and instead wanted to train soldiers.

Yandang Village is isolated from the world in Yandang Mountain, and there are no powerful wild monsters in its sphere of influence. In Wu Meng's view, Hua Mulan is more than enough in Yandang Village, and there is no need for military training.

More importantly, military training costs money. Soldiers need money for training, and soldiers need money for changing jobs. When villagers become soldiers, it means that they will not be productive and need more villagers to support them.

Originally, Yandang Village was in economic crisis, and Qin Xiaobai had to train troops to make things worse. Wu Meng suddenly turned into a bitter face.

"If you don't train your troops, how will you solve the economic crisis?" Qin Xiaobai grinned.
