In the blink of an eye, it entered the second half of the month.

Xanadu Village has developed very steadily. There are more Rogue Camps and an unknown number of player territories in the vicinity, and the population is growing at a rate that is not slow. Considering whether there was a national background in the surrounding player territory, Lu Yao reluctantly recruited twenty Pu Dao soldiers for Ding Yan to further strengthen the military strength of the territory.

Pak Knife Soldier: One of the basic troops, it needs to consume 3 units of grain and grass per day.

Seeing twenty Pu Dao soldiers coming out of the barracks, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. The shortcomings of the territory's military strength can be regarded as making up for it. Ding Yan is an internal affairs talent and does not go out often. With him in command of twenty Pak sword soldiers, the village does not have to worry about being attacked at all.

Cavalry squad: 20 people, commanded by Zhao Yun, mainly responsible for patrolling and eliminating single rogues or bandits.

Bow and Arrow Squad: Twenty people, commanded by Lu Yao, mainly responsible for hunting, finding iron mines, neutral villages, etc.

Pu Dao Squad: Twenty people, commanded by Ding Yan, mainly responsible for guarding the village, maintaining law and order in the village, and other trivial matters.

A rational military system has been initially established. Lu Yao finally didn't have to be afraid, and really put his energy into finding a strategic resource such as iron ore and finding a neutral village.

"25 copper." Lu Yao glanced at the trading platform and closed it silently.

The price of food is so crazy that it is like a wild horse that has escaped its reins, and it has soared all the way with joy. This is 10 copper per unit higher than the price of grain at this time in the previous life. He had no doubt that by the end of the month, the price of grain would soar by more than 30 copper per unit.

"Two more days...... Cash out. Lu Yao silently reminded himself. To say that such a high food price is not tempting is to deceive yourself. But he knew the dangers better. This highly professional game is not something that the average player can play. If one is not good, it will become a bitter pick-up man. Now it depends on when those professional speculators may leave the market, so that they can maximize their benefits.

26 copper per unit

27 copper per unit

28 copper

29 copper

……

Food prices rose by 1 copper per unit in almost a few hours. Ordinary players are crazy and have invested what little money they have to join this crazy feast. Lu Yao took the time to look at the forum, on which all kinds of bricks and beasts were called, and various professionals analyzed them, which further stimulated players who were eager to make a big profit.

Crazy, all crazy.

In just two days, the price of grain and grass on the trading platform skyrocketed to 35 copper per unit. Even at such an outrageous price, the trading platform is still empty, and there is not a single grain and grass in sight. Whenever there is an order, the second shot.

Lu Yao witnessed the madness of food prices and was speechless. He never imagined that his small test of the power of the country would turn into the current crazy situation. It is conceivable that once those professional speculators withdraw from the market, basically more than 90% of ordinary players will become bitter pick-up heroes.

Cash out.

Lu Yao immediately pressed the idea of continuing to wait and see, and left the scene in advance. In the past half a month, after full collection, 11 intermediate granaries are full. A total of 66,000 units of grain and grass. At present, the village can obtain about 1,000 units of grain and grass per day, and needs to consume about 800 units of grain and grass.

This ratio of income and expenditure made Lu Yao quite satisfied. But after all, this is to tap the potential of those two orchards in advance. Three more new orchards were discovered, but they were too far away from the village. Once these two orchards are collected, the village can barely guarantee about 700 units of grain and grass per day.

After careful analysis and discussion with Ding Yan, Lu Yao left 6,000 units of grain and grass to ensure that the village would not have a food shortage before the arrival of next month. The remaining 60,000 units of grain and grass were decisively listed on the trading platform at a price of 36 copper per unit, and an order per 500 units. What is staggering is that every time 60,000 units of grain and grass set off too much fluctuation, they were photographed in seconds as soon as they placed an order.

216 gold

Lu Yao looked at the number of the territory funds in the territory panel that suddenly skyrocketed, and was silent. In a short period of time, the profit actually reached 100%. He knew that it was a small amount of money compared to those forces, but for the average player, it was a huge amount of money, enough to put the development of the territory on the right track.

With money in his hand, Lu Yao put aside those distractions and decisively built nine granaries. There are a total of 20 granaries in the village, which can store 120,000 units of grain and grass. This number seems to be gratifying, but it is actually enough to choke.

It's late June, and the harvest season will be in July. The climate in Zhuya Prefecture is suitable, and one season of grain and grass can be replanted and harvested in November. For the next four months, we had to rely on food storage. Four months are a total of one hundred and twenty days. At the current rate of population growth in the village, it is not an exaggeration to consume an average of 1,200 units of grain and grass a day in four months. That's a total of 144,000 units of grain and grass. In addition to the 20 granaries with a total of 120,000 units of grain, there is a shortfall of 24,000 units that can only be obtained by hunting and gathering. In this way, it is barely enough, and there may be a slight surplus.

After dealing with the terrible matter of grain and grass, Lu Yao bought a batch of farm tools on the trading platform. At present, the focus of the village is on collection, and the progress of farmland reclamation is slow. Until now, the village has only reclaimed 80 acres of farmland, less than half an acre per capita. This is also thanks to Ding Yan's snatching up when he adjusted the village structure some time ago. Then Lu Yao, the lord, arranged all the manpower to collect, and even stopped logging and quarrying.

In this regard, Lu Yao was very guilty. What made him strange was that Ding Yan always maintained a hard-working attitude, didn't say anything, and took care of all internal affairs properly. Before he was reborn, he didn't hear many other players complain about how his own internal affairs talents were holding back and so on.

"Ding Yan has connotation." Lu Yao sighed as he left the village with the bow and arrow team.

……

Only one day passed, when the high grain price of 39 copper per unit was expected by many players to climb to 40 copper per unit, the food price on the trading platform suddenly plunged.

38 copper

37 copper

36 copper

35 copper

Food prices have been the same as some time ago, and even exceeded, falling by an average of 1 copper every hour. By nightfall, the price of grain had fallen to a terrible price of 30 copper per unit.

In the game, on the forums, countless players cried and cried about how much they had lost in this high food price. But the cries of these players did not attract the attention of other players who still had funds in their hands. They are like gamblers who have lost red-eyed, constantly investing funds obtained from various channels to protect the disk.

Waiting until the next morning, Lu Yao couldn't help but open the trading platform curiously. Food prices have plummeted to 20 copper per unit. He silently closed the trading platform. It's not a good feeling to open Pandora's box with your own hands. He knew that in addition to himself and a very small number of sane players, most of the profits were divided among various forces. Countless ordinary players have become bitter pick-up heroes and taste the last bitter fruit.

In the afternoon, the price of grain finally returned to the price that Lu Yao remembered in his previous life, 15 copper per unit. This price level becomes stable. Although it is not yet harvest season, almost every player has more or less saved up the last few days of food and grass. And the attempts of the pick-ups to raise food prices again look so ridiculous.

The forces of all parties have already left the scene.

In a high-end club somewhere in the capital, Song Ziyang and the other three celebrated this victory together. In this gluttonous feast that only belongs to large and small forces, although they entered the market late, they also reached 30% of the income.

"It's a pity that my family only gave me 20,000 gold." Song Ziyang took a sip of red wine unsatisfied, and his regret was overflowing.

"I have 50,000 gold start-up capital. This time it was a hard vote. Blood Sword smiled proudly. His family has no power, but he has money.

"I don't have much, only 40,000, fortunately, I made a lot of money this time, otherwise I don't know how to develop the territory." Ke Zhou Qiu Jian shook his head again and again, and denounced the family's lack of attention to him.

"Come on, now 1 gold on various trading platforms has been speculated to 100 yuan. It's good that the family can give us this money. Song Ziyang made up for the common sense of the game, and knew that although the family was exercising himself, he deliberately limited himself. As the son of the Song family, he knows some insiders. This game is no ordinary online game. The old man values Nanhai County, the foundation of the Song family, even more.

"That's right, don't talk about that. Let's get down to business first. Song Ziyang turned to the topic: "Each of the three of us has a studio. There is also ample development funds on hand. What I mean by that is that we have to build a solid rear, form an iron triangle, and avoid fighting on our own. When it reaches level 1 town, it will attack that lonely boat. ”

"So late?" Blood Sword was surprised. With the manpower of the three studios and sufficient development funds, there are enough troops to develop to a level 2 village. Gathering the power of three people, can't it level the territory of an ordinary player?

"Late? It's too early. Ke Zhou sneered at the sword and said, "There is no teleportation array in this game. According to the cloud, we were only a few hundred kilometers away from the territory of the lonely boat at most. This may not sound like a long distance, but don't forget that there is no highway in Zhuya Prefecture in the game. There is also logistics and baggage, how can it be so simple. ”

"Yes, I will listen to your arrangements, and I will fight wherever you want." Blood Sword rolled his eyes and simply sent the command away.

"I consulted with a specialist. The most suitable for us is to take it step by step and work steadily. After all, Song Ziyang was born in the Song family, and he was not a pure gentleman, and he said: "It takes time for the studio to arrive." We can push that way gradually. Come to one, and build a new territory forward. When the three studios are fully staffed, a stable logistical supply line can be created. When the time comes, even if there are five tiger generals in that lonely boat, they will not be able to stop our thousands of troops. ”

"That's good." Ke Zhou asked for a sword and immediately expressed his position.

Song Ziyang clapped on the spot and raised the wine glass in his hand: "Each urged his studios to come as soon as possible." This is the point. ”

Bite.

Three wine glasses touched lightly in the air, and the wine was slightly rippling, revealing a blood-like color.
