I took out the "Hero Sticker" from the mailbox, there is nothing special, some are similar to invitations, the materials are also very ordinary, and there is a map attached to the back. The quality of this map is even more miserable www.biquge.info, just pointing out the location of Hero Mountain on a simple map that can barely distinguish the region.

As for the task, the hero sticker is just an invitation, and you still need to go to the Hero Mountain to accept the task, of course, Wu Yi is most worried about whether he will be surrounded and suppressed as a bandit after accepting the task, the lord is not as good as a solo player, and he still has to take care of the territory. However, before the White Shark Water Village was completely solved, Wu Yi had no time to go to Hero Mountain.

Putting away the hero sticker for the time being, Wu Yi went to the mayor's office in Wangmei Town. The towns of the Hongyu Empire are divided into two kinds, one is the fief that belongs to the noble lord, that is, the NPC lord, almost everything in the fief is decided by these noble lords, including the appointment and dismissal of officials, almost no different from the player lord, except for paying taxes, the empire almost does not care.

The other is that officials are sent by the empire, and all the income of the town belongs to the empire, and it will be relatively easy to talk about things in this kind of place, for reasons that everyone understands.

It's not difficult for the player to meet with the mayor of the town, but there is only one chance, and there will be important events to be released in the future.

The mayor of Wangmei Town is a lean and half-hundred-year-old man in his fifties, and the place to meet Wu Yi is also selected in a pavilion in the backyard, the mayor of the town is lying on a delicate rattan recliner, and there are two maids of a small family jasper standing behind him to help him pinch his shoulders.

"Oh? Hulu Village wants to join the Empire's mailing network? The mayor squinted slightly, enjoying the service of the maid behind him.

"Yes, this still needs the mayor's approval."

"Do you know the rules?"

"Know! One hundred gold coins and one percent of the quarterly revenue of the province as a tax. "The tax aspect is almost dispensable for players at this stage, mainly because most of the territories have no production, and those transactions between private players are not counted in the territory transactions, such as the war equipment that Hulu Village defeated the White Shark Water Pirates, and it is impossible to count it in, unless Wangmei Town sends a tax officer to squat in Hulu Village.

"No, no, no, if you say that, you don't know." The town elder finally sat up from the recliner at this time and stared at Wu Yi seriously.

"Huh?" Wu Yi was a little confused for a moment, he had already inquired about this matter clearly, how could it be wrong?

"Little brother, if you want to get closer to the empire, your consciousness must be enough!"

Paralyzed, as soon as he heard this, Wu Yi suddenly became clear, he was indeed not mistaken, it was the town elder who wanted benefits. "What does the mayor mean ......"

"What about the tax in your Hulu Village, it doesn't matter if you pay it or not, but as a subordinate village of Wangmei Town, you should also make a little contribution to the town, I remember that you have taken over Hulu Village for a long time, and you have not paid taxes for such a long time, and I have never let people trouble you."

Wu Yi's heart sank when he heard this, the more the mayor talked like this, the greater the benefits this guy wanted. Although this kind of thing with a price can be settled even if Wu Yi finally does not agree to the mayor's rude conditions, but if you offend the mayor for this matter, it will be difficult for Hulu Village to live in the future.

"Mayor Town, do you think I'll increase the price by 50%?" Wu Yi gritted his teeth, 50% is equal to more than fifty gold coins, if it is normal, the village chief of Wuyi will definitely turn around and leave, but he has only earned a batch of war equipment before, and after learning that players and NPCs can communicate with each other by mail, this function is more important to Hulu Village, which can make him more at ease to host Hulu Village.

"What do you mean by that?" The town elder's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Wu Yi with some displeasure, "Do you think I want to take kickbacks?" ”

"I didn't mean that......" Wu Yi had an urge to scold his mother at this moment, and he was not satisfied with the 50% increase.

"What about opening the mailing function, according to the price of the empire, it is a hundred gold coins, and I will only accept you a hundred gold coins, but recently we have opened a new brewery in the town, which is a little difficult, if you can, you can invest a little."

"Distillery?" The specialty of Wangmei Town is the green plum bar, if you can't compare to the green plum wine, isn't it looking for death to open a brewery here!

"Of course, they won't let you pay for nothing, they will give you the shares of the distillery according to how much you invest, so that you can be considered to have something in Wangmei Town, and it will be much more convenient to do anything in the future."

It's an investment again! This is somewhat similar to Wu Yi's previous cooperation with the Wizards Association, but is there a future for investing in such a new winery?

Winemaking is really a high-profit industry, Wu Yi had thought about opening one in Hulu Village before, but Zhao Xiaochu's cooking skills are very good, but winemaking is not good.

"This ...... Don't know how much to invest? In Wu Yi's opinion, investing in this kind of dying winery will definitely not make money if there is no distinctive wine formula, but it can't lose too much, ordinary wine can be used to reward soldiers, it can improve a certain morale, and the demand is very large, so if it can't be sold cheaply, it can be sold to the player lord cheaply.

"I don't care about this, Xiao Tao, you take this village elder to find Young Master Dan."

Young Master Cousin!

Wu Yi suddenly felt that this was a deep pit! The psychology of some luck was suddenly gone, can this kind of relationship industry do not expect them to play any tricks?

"Young Master Cousin, a village chief has come and wants to invest in your winery." In the mayor's backyard, the maid Xiao Tao took Wu Yi to a room and knocked on the door and shouted.

The door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a little sleepiness on his face appeared, this is the so-called young master? That's a bit old!

"Oh, is that it?" The middle-aged man looked at Wu Yi with a little expectation in his eyes.

"Find out first."

"No problem! Let's come into the house and talk, by the way, my name is Sun Yulong, what do you call the village elder? ”

"It's okay to call me May Day." Wu Yi looked at this one a little strangely, and he didn't have the kind of hardness to have a big backer at all.

"Okay, the village chief of Wuyi, please."

The house was very messy, and Xiao Tao, who led the way for Wu Yi, began to clean up, and Sun Yulong invited Wu Yi to sit at the round table on the side, and poured tea himself.

"Wuyi Village Chief, how much do you plan to invest in our distillery?"

"Well, I don't know anything about your brewery." Wu Yi feels that this Sun Yulong's personality is a bit like a technician, not at all like the old oilman like the mayor of the town, it shouldn't be so easy to be pitted into talking to such a person, right?

"Oh, then I'll introduce you first."

followed Sun Yulong and said a lot.

Sun Yulong has only recently come to Wangmei Town to join the mayor, he has been learning winemaking outside, and it has been many years since he reached the advanced level, but he has not been able to take the step of the master, so he came to Wangmei Town in desperation, planning to open a winery, for the sake of his cousins, the mayor of the town also helped with this, and also funded some.

The distillery is set up, named Yulong Distillery, but the green plum wine in Meizhen is too famous in the surrounding area, and the ordinary wine brewed by Yulong Distillery can't find any sales at all, and Sun Yulong has no enthusiasm for selling these ordinary wines, he has always wanted to study new recipes and impact the master level. For the pillar industry of Wangmei Town, even the mayor of the town cannot be suppressed casually.

It didn't take long for the Jade Dragon Distillery to run out of business.

"Then what does Director Sun think is appropriate to invest in the law?" Wu Yi is still very optimistic about this kind of investment stuck in the threshold of the master, as long as the research can be successful, the current investment will make a lot of money, it seems that this business is not a pit, but I don't know what chance this Sun Yulong can have.

"Five thousand gold coins! As long as the village chief can invest 5,000 gold coins, you can take 40% of the shares of the distillery. ”

Five thousand gold coins accounted for 40%, which was much cheaper than that of the Wizards' Guild, but he couldn't afford that much money now. "I can invest up to a thousand gold coins in you right now."

"Wuyi Village Chief, a thousand gold coins is too much, I need a lot of gold coins to research a new formula, I have already researched some clues before, you can rest assured, as long as the formula is successful, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money."

"So be it! I will invest 1,000 gold coins first, and in half a month at most, I will invest another 4,000 gold coins. Wu Yi thought about it for a while and said, this investment is still a bit tricky, as long as the matter of the White Shark Water Village is over, the ships and war equipment in his hand will be transferred, and the five thousand gold coins will be a trivial matter.

"Alright then, but a thousand gold coins can only take one percent of the shares for the time being."

"Yes, by the way, in a moment, pull me a thousand jars of wine that the distillery produced before." Wu Yi plans to pull a batch of wine back to distribute benefits, and Hululou also needs ordinary wine.

"No problem! I'll give you a 20% discount. ”
