County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

After recruiting the refugees,

Han Yilin arrived at the armory, ready to dispose of all the surplus weapons he had just seized.

As for bows and arrows

original,

Han Yilin was thinking of canceling everything and then making the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

result,

When he opened the blacksmith shop interface,

When they tried to make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, they were shocked to discover that... the current Zhatian County simply couldn't make it.

Components like the crossbow body, quiver, and grip can be crafted in the carpentry workshop, and the blacksmith can make the mechanism and other metal parts, but the most crucial component, the bowstring...

Given the current conditions,

However, it is impossible to make it.

Under normal circumstances,

There are three main types of materials used for bowstrings. The most distinctive material is hemp, which is made by twisting ramie, hemp, or flax into multiple strands. It is inexpensive and readily available, making it the most practical material for large-scale military equipment.

Secondly,

It is the sinew of an animal.

For example, beef tendon, deer tendon, etc.

After being dried, pounded, and torn into fine fibers, they are kneaded together.

The tendons are strong and tough, but they are troublesome to make and are relatively susceptible to moisture.

At last,

It uses silkworm silk.

The fibers are fine and strong, making them suitable for twisting into uniform bowstrings, but the cost is significantly higher than that of hemp.

According to the blueprints of Zhuge Repeating Crossbow

What's needed isn't just one type, but a combination of beef tendon and silk... Beef tendon is fine, but where can we find silk right now?

There's no hope of getting the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow anytime soon, which is really frustrating for Han Yilin. It's like having a mountain of gold at home but not being able to spend it at all.

The weapons included the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

The military branch included the White Horse Cavalry.

result,

I can't do any of it.

How could I not feel bad?

Soon,

Upon arriving at the armory and finding Zhuang Li, Han Yilin took out all the captured weapons and some leather armor.

These spoils of war,

Han Yilin naturally couldn't sell them all.

For example, warhorses can be kept for now, as cavalry will definitely need to be expanded later. As for bows and arrows, we can't count on the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, but these bows can be used as a temporary measure.

As for leather armor

We must first equip all the militia.

In this way, all that can be sold are weapons and the remaining leather armor.

Let's calculate how much it costs.

"Alright, sir, shall we stick to the usual rules?"

"OK."

"These standard weapons of the Pingtian Army are indeed of good quality. Here, I, Zhuang, congratulate you, sir, on this great victory."

"Stop with the nonsense. Oh, right, there's one more thing. We'll leave the bows and arrows we ordered for now; we've already captured quite a few this time."

"It's alright, it's alright."

Zhuang Li responded with a smile.

quickly,

After the count was completed,

He picked up the abacus and began to calculate rapidly: "Sir, according to the old price, the total is nine hundred and forty-eight coins."

As he spoke,

He returned to the shop.

He took out nine one-hundred-tael notes and some loose silver, and handed them over: "Sir, these are silver notes, please count them."

Once received,

Han Yilin didn't count either.

After putting it away,

It directly turned into a string of numbers on the data panel, faster than a money counting machine, making it clear at a glance how much money had increased.

at this time,

In the panel,

I don't know if it's because the amount is too large, but the unit in the money column has changed from copper coins to silver.

[Territory]: Zhatian County

[Level]: Second-tier county town

Magistrate: Han Yilin

Population: 4819

[Wealth]: 9527 (taels)

[Grain]: 217883

[Soldier]: 1041

Public sentiment: 100

[Public Security]: 100

[Power Value]: 23250

【...】

Looking at the panel,

At first glance,

Han Yilin noticed the change in the unit of payment in the "money" column.

He wasn't surprised by this, since using copper coins as the unit could easily result in excessively large numbers.

In contrast,

He was more concerned about it.

The current population of Zhatian County.

"Unbelievably, we've already reached almost five thousand people."

"If there were fewer casualties in this battle, we could upgrade now, but it would only be a day later."

Upgrade the city lord's mansion to level three.

Besides materials,

There was an additional condition: having a population of 5,000. After holding back for more than ten days, we are finally about to meet the requirement.

As for the other players, Han Yilin estimated that if they had developed normally, they would have already upgraded to the second-level city lord's mansion.

In addition,

In terms of resources,

This battle,

It can be described as a bumper harvest.

In particular, 12 units of grain were seized, which directly extended the life of Zhatian County by more than ten days.

Han Yilin understood.

In Sun Tzu's Art of War,

Why do I say that?

"A skilled strategist does not require two separate military service assignments, nor three separate supply runs; he takes supplies from the country and supplies from the enemy, thus ensuring sufficient provisions for his army."

have to say,

Enemy's food always tastes better!

For a time,

Han Yilin hoped that the Pingtian Army could deliver more food, so that he wouldn't have to worry about food anymore.

However, this kind of thing

That's definitely wishful thinking.

Next time,

It's estimated that there are more than three thousand people.

and,

After this battle,

Han Yilin felt that the mission of the fallen empress probably wouldn't involve the Pingtian Army storyline.

But it doesn't really matter.

Who will be emperor?

It has nothing to do with him.

Han Yilin was more concerned about the mission rewards.

Thinking of this,

Han Yilin checked his recent gains.

First of all,

It is a rare object.

Currently, there are three.

Pan Yue City Foundation (Gold), a rare treasure of the territory.

Wan Ke Lai Lantern (Purple), a rare commodity in commerce.

Broken Army Battle Flag (Blue), a war marvel.

Different types,

They have different effects.

In terms of crafting blueprints, they obtained the Rift Wind Blade and Fish Scale Light Armor in the early stages.

These two,

It has now become almost standard equipment in Zhatian County.

The blacksmith shop was constantly making clanging and banging sounds as he forged things.

Nowadays,

He also obtained the blueprints for the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow. In addition... during the past few days of clearing out various areas, Han Yilin also obtained quite a lot by opening treasure chests.

include:

A green-quality weapon, the willow-leaf dagger.

Blue quality combat boots, wind-riding boots.

Green quality shield, leather-covered round shield.

These drawings,

Most of them are not very practical.

As for combat boots, they definitely have to take a backseat compared to armor and weapons.

Other than that,

There are also some architectural drawings,

Most of their functions are rather useless. Now Han Yilin really wants to know what conditions are needed to open the trading house so that he can get rid of these blueprints.

After handling the matter,

Han Yilin didn't plan to attack any more resource areas; the soldiers had just gone through a major battle and definitely needed rest.

Moreover, there are still many wounded who need to be dealt with.

These things,

Han Yilin all at once,

They left everything to Li Zehao, then pretended to go back to rest, but actually went back to play in the water.

Another day will pass.

The next day.

On the nineteenth day since the start of the nationwide game,

After waking up,

Han Yilin's first task was to recruit refugees. With the population increasing by 240, the total number finally exceeded 5,000.

This also fulfills the conditions for upgrading to a level three city lord's mansion.

With a thought,

The screen in front of him switched to the list of buildings, and Han Yilin's gaze immediately fell on the City Lord's Mansion.

Daniel Wu and his ilk.

I'm currently out and about, watching the World Cup final in the early hours of the morning. I'm taking a day off today, so I'll only be updating one chapter for now.

Whispering: Thank goodness it didn't reach 8 points yet. I should have asked for leave before then, otherwise it would have been difficult to ask for leave later.
