Chapter 26: The Influence of Cotton Cloth, Mushroom Ridge’s Business Begins
three days later
Xu Kuang finished carving the last formation pattern with a tired look on his face, and a white light shimmered on the test stone.
"The host makes the 'Elementary Test Stone' for the first time, and the reward is x1 technology tree fragment, and x1000 career experience."
Xu Kuang clicked on the attribute panel and found that he had gained more than 8,000 experience points in the past three days, and he could now level up again.
But now he didn't want to pay attention to this. He asked people to carry the stone out, eager to test the performance of the test stone.
The test stone was erected in the square that was transformed into the Lord's Mansion. A group of people gathered around, wanting to see what the Lord was doing and whether they could help.
Xu Kuang gathered a few children and said with a smile:
"Come here quickly, put your hands up, one by one."
The first child curiously put his hand on the test stone, and the surface of the test stone immediately emitted a white light.
White represents no connection with the three major professions.
Xu Kuang sighed secretly and called the next child over.
Soon, dozens of people nearby had completed the test, and there were only six people with the three major professional qualifications, including five warriors, one priest, and no magician.
But this is shocking enough. There are only one million people with the three major professional qualifications in the entire continent. How many people are there in the mainland? Ten billion or hundreds of billions? No one has counted it, but Xu Kuang’s estimated number is probably only
Will it be more or less.
Xu Kuang called a few capable people and asked them to summon people on the yellow list to come here for the test, including soldiers and guards.
After giving instructions, Xu Kuang left.
He went back and took a nap.
When he woke up, the test results had come out.
Among the more than 12,000 registered residents of Mushroom Ridge, there are more than 700 people with cultivation qualifications, more than 600 warriors, more than 80 priest qualifications, and only 30 magicians.
Xu Kuang sighed secretly. He understood that the scarcity of the three major professions was not because there were few people with such qualifications, but because most people did not have the opportunity to awaken.
Xu Kuang sighed secretly, he didn't know how to wake up these people.
"Cuihua, how should I wake up these people?".
Cuihua's voice echoed in Xu Kuang's mind:
"Task: Negotiation
Mission introduction: Gain an advantage in negotiations with the six major lords
Mission content: 1. Recover the lost land
2. Collect rent and land use tax of three thousand gold coins from each lord;
Third, request 60 square kilometers of land from Lord Forio.
Mission Difficulty: c
Mission rewards: twelve warrior-level teachers, two cult-level nature priest teachers, one cult-level totem priest teacher, one cult-level alchemy priest teacher, one trainee-level magician teacher, unlock the 'automatic generation' function, profession
Experience x1000.".
Xu Kuang's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the system to be so considerate. He quickly thanked the system a few more times.
"Task: Name
Mission content: Give your army a resounding name.
Task requirements: Name the army and make military flags, emblems and other symbols.
Mission Difficulty: None
Mission reward: Technology tree fragment x1, professional experience x50."
Xu Kuang nodded. He also felt that it was time to give the unit a loud name.
Before Xu Kuang could react, Cuihua's voice rang again:
"The iron smelting workshop successfully smelted spring steel and obtained technology tree fragment x1".
Xu Kuang did the math and found that he only needed one technology tree fragment to unlock the technology tree function.
As long as you give the army a good name, he can harvest the technology tree fragments.
Xu Kuang thought for a while and felt that all his men were rough people and did not have the ability to name them.
Xu Kuang thought for a long time and finally decided to name his new army the Rock Army. At the same time, he also drew the general's emblem, which was a rock protecting mushrooms.
The meaning is simple, his army must be as indestructible as a rock and protect Mushroom Ridge.
Xu Kuang handed the general emblem to the textile factory. In half a day, the textile factory produced a hundred military flags of different sizes.
Xu Kuang ordered general flags to be planted everywhere in Mushroom Ridge, and at the same time announced that Mushroom Ridge and the Panshi Army were established.
"[Task: Naming] has been completed. Reward technology tree fragment x1, career experience x50."
"The technology tree function has been activated, please host go to the technology tree interface.".
Xu Kuang excitedly opened the technology tree interface and began to browse the main functions.
The technology tree function currently only has one interface, which has four sections: "Infrastructure", "Scale Production", "Scientific Research and Innovation", and "Individual Bonus". Xu Kuang thought for a while and clicked on the scientific research and innovation section.
"Unlocking the scientific research and innovation section requires 1 technology tree fragment x1. Do you want to unlock it?".
Xu Kuang almost didn't curse out loud. He seriously suspected that the system was messing with him.
"Task: Unlock the mall
Mission: Improve productivity
Task requirements: The total daily production value of Mushroom Ridge reaches 10,000 gold coins, and this should be maintained for ten consecutive days. Note: The alchemical products produced by the host are not included.
Mission Difficulty: b
Mission reward: Unlock the "mall" function, purchase points x100, technology tree fragments x5, professional experience x50000."
Xu Kuang took a deep breath. He knew that this task was not difficult. When Jenny came back, he would know how much money he had earned from those one hundred carts.
Xu Kuang frowned slightly when he thought of this. He didn't understand why Jenny hadn't come back yet.
At this moment, his subordinates came to report that Jenny was back.
Jenny is indeed back, and she has brought back a dozen businessmen, all of whom are powerful businessmen in Hulu Town.
Jenny began to report on this harvest.
"Among the goods brought this time, cotton cloth is priced at 3 gold coins/horsepower, cotton yarn is priced at 10 silver coins/catty, linen cloth is priced at 1 gold coin/horsepower, and linen yarn is priced at 6 silver coins/catty. The total income is 10,300 gold coins."
Xu Kuang opened his eyes wide and asked:
"Jenny, you didn't lie to me, did you?".
Jenny took out a storage ring and said with a smile:
"Master, don't you still believe me?".
Xu Kuang laughed and said:
"Okay! Don't forget to pay your taxes later."
As soon as these words came out, all the businessmen looked at Xu Kuang in surprise.
One businessman bravely asked:
"May I ask your lord, this spinning mill is your private property, why do you still have to pay taxes?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Private property also has to pay taxes, otherwise it would be chaos."
All the businessmen looked at Xu Kuang and felt strange.
Another businessman asked:
"Lord, I want to open a shop in Mogu Ridge. I don't know how much rent I need to pay every year? How much tax do I need to pay?".
Xu Kuang thought for a while and said to the businessman:
"I don't have anything to say about the rent. You can go talk to my butler. He has the final say. As for taxes, the stepped tax is 5% for the amount within 1,000 gold coins, and 100% for the amount within 10,000 gold coins.
For ten, if the price is within one hundred thousand gold coins, 15% will be drawn, and if the price is within one million gold coins, 20% will be drawn. Of course, these are rough conditions, and specific conditions need to be refined by dedicated personnel. But don’t worry, it won’t happen.
