The square in front of the village hall had been leveled by Zeng Mu. In the evening, Zeng Mu lit a fire to repel insects in front of the village hall.
One hundred and thirty households in Yixia sent representatives to attend this meeting.
Zeng Mu cleared his throat and said, "Everyone knows that the railway is going to be built, right?"
Some well-informed villagers nodded, while others raised their hands and asked what the railway was about.
Zeng Mu said irritably: "The railway is just a carriage running on the rails. It can run very fast and carry very heavy goods with only a few horses."
There is such a magical thing, and the people in the post are talking a lot. Is this another good thing created by His Highness King Jianning?
Zeng Mu said: "As long as the railway is built, Shazhou and Guazhou can be reached by train in just one day, and the goods transported in one trip will be much more than those transported by cars, horses and camels."
"So awesome?" Many villagers cheered, but some frowned.
If the distance between Guazhou and Shazhou can be reached in one day, will any businessmen stay at the Guandao Rest Area? In that case, wouldn’t the Guandao Rest Area, which has finally become prosperous, become useless?
Everyone was talking and looking at Zeng Mu worriedly.
Zeng Mu said: "Everyone, be quiet. I have written to His Highness, requesting that a station be built in Yixia. However, whether it can be built is still undecided. We in Yixiali cannot sit still and wait for death. We must transform."
Now the common people began to talk again. They had just eaten at the Shangguandao rest area and had been living a good life for a few days and were about to undergo a transformation.
Zeng Mu was helpless, but once the railway was built, the Guandao rest area would definitely be affected. Instead of transforming when food was no longer available, it was better to transform now when food was available.
Zeng Mu said: "Since the railway has taken away our business, we will do business with the railway."
The villagers all looked at Zeng Mu, only to see Zeng Mu take out two small things.
One is a slender iron rod with circles of threads on it.
The other one is a curved spiral wire. What is this?
Zeng Mu said: "This thing is called a screw, and this thing is called a spring. Both screws and springs are necessary after building a railway. I want to introduce workshops to produce these two things."
Screws and springs, these are the top products after Zeng Mu’s inspection. Building a railway is not just about laying the rails on the ground, but also requires screws to fix them.
Similarly, horse-drawn trains also need carriages, which also require springs to absorb shock.
But both of these things are high-tech products.
In modern times, mechanical enthusiasts can even turn screws at home. However, in this era, there are no industrial machine tools or milling machines, so it is quite difficult to produce qualified screws.
In fact, Zeng Mu was unsure, but now the General Administration of Railways has been established and a comprehensive bidding process has begun.
If Yixiali can win the bid, the General Administration of Railways will organize players with technical knowledge to come to Yixiali to guide production. As long as the workshop can be established, Yixiali will have a pillar industry in the future.
Zeng Mu sighed, farming is still really difficult!
A non-money player like him cannot afford to buy land in the city or suburbs, so he can only buy in remote villages like this.
When he thought of this, Zeng Mu felt that there was such a big gap between people.
On the Datang Lichang forum, only Lichang players can post, but this forum has a large number of posts and is active every day.
But this is normal. Players in the territory rarely leave the territory, so they have nothing to do but visit the forum.
And through other people's posts, Zeng Mu knew how he got off to a bad start.
Zeng Mu cannot compare with wealthy players like Sun Jianguo.
The buildings in Jucaifang not only include inns and shops, but also a patrol department and a fire prevention bureau responsible for fire protection.
In addition, Jucaifang also has stables and warehouses. Seeing so many buildings made Zeng Mu drool.
You must know that when Zeng Mu first came to Yixiali, there were only two wells!
The others are all shabby thatched houses, and the village hall doesn’t even have a dry toilet!
The initial building is nothing more. To build a building in Datang Fengyun, all you need is manpower. Unlike other business simulation games, you need to unlock blueprints.
The septic tank in the post house was dug by Zeng Mu himself. As long as it can be used, the system will determine that the building has been successfully constructed.
Nowadays, there are many buildings in Yixiali, and the village is gradually becoming more prosperous.
However, buildings can still be built, and it depends on what kind of property there is in the territory.
Product resources, the resources in these territories are all unbalanced, and what is produced in your territory is random.
For example, there was a player whose territory was densely populated by rivers. He immediately organized villagers to build nets to catch fish, and sent the fish to Shazhou City, where he made a fortune.
The village chief simply taught himself the knowledge of aquaculture, led the villagers to dig fish ponds to raise fish, and vigorously promoted fish dishes.
Some players had fruit trees in their territory, so this player simply learned to make wine. The fruit wine in the village quickly opened up sales and became a well-known brand in Shazhou.
In comparison, except for a few acres of thin farmland in Yixia, it can be said that everything is poor.
It doesn't matter if there are no specialties. There are no talents in Yixia.
Everything about the "game" Datang Fengyun is good, but you have to explore all the functions yourself.
Just like when the expansion pack "Li Chang of the Tang Dynasty" was launched, there was only one sentence to introduce the system, and the specific functions were all discovered by the players themselves.
The farming elements are okay, and players who often play farming games will be familiar with them, but the management in the game is more realistic and requires more considerations.
Isn’t this just reclaiming fields to develop industry? Isn’t this an element that is poorly played in business simulation games? Brave farming players are not afraid of difficulties!
But the villagers in Tang Dynasty are not the obedient game villains in the business simulation game. These villagers also have emotions and ideas, and it takes skills to mobilize them to work.
It is impossible for players to manage every villager in detail, and this is where the importance of "talent" comes into play.
The territory chief can recruit indigenous people to help manage the territory. A reliable and reliable person can save a lot of things.
This is jokingly called "card drawing" by lord players, and the kind of player you can get depends entirely on your life.
For example, one village chief was assigned a territory similar to Zeng Mu's, but there was an old carpenter living in his territory.
This player spent a lot of effort and finally completed the carpenter's "mission" and gained the old carpenter's allegiance.
The old carpenter helped him open a carpentry workshop. The player found a lot of Ming and Qing furniture designs and handed them over to the workshop for production. As a result, the village became a famous furniture village in Shazhou. The furniture produced sold well in Shazhou, making this village
Players made huge amounts of money.
After this player posted the process of recruiting old carpenters to the forum, various district leaders began a campaign to discover local talents.
It's a pity that Yixia is not only poor, but also doesn't even have any skilled people!
