After checking the rankings, Yang Tao came to the government office and lowered the agricultural tax from 1/3 to 1/5.

Originally, Jianghe Village could produce 30 units of grain per mu every 10 days, but now there are only 15 units left due to the impact of famine. If the agricultural tax remains 1/3, the people's hearts in the village will continue to decline. When the people's hearts drop below 50, there is a certain chance of defection, and it is not conducive to the future development of the village.

Although the reduction of agricultural tax will lead to a decrease in grain income, this can promote villagers to trade, thereby generating commercial taxes and subsidizing money in the village. You should know that there are many places in the village that use money. Just dozens of soldiers' food and salary will cost dozens of units of grain and copper coins every day. This is only the food and salary of the first-level soldiers in the first-level soldiers. When the soldiers upgrade to the middle level, the food and salary will also be increased accordingly. However, this is a huge burden, not to mention that the construction of the village also requires a lot of money, and it is better to have some income.

After adjusting the agricultural tax, Yang Tao also had to deal with the special village construction order, but before this, something was arranged in the village.

Yang Tao first found Pu Lin and Pang Zheng. He asked Pu Lin to increase the number of people who were reclaimed from 20 to 50, and increase the process of reclaiming wasteland. Pang Zheng was responsible for leading people to find out the newly emerging companion humanoid communities near the village after the system was updated.

Afterwards, Yang Tao went to the market for a while and found that in just half an hour, the prices of all items on the market had soared nearly 1 times. Among them, the most powerful price increase was grain, which increased from 5 copper per unit to 12 copper, and the price increase trend was still very strong. Yang Tao thought about evacuating the villagers who were originally arranged to be responsible for purchasing grain in the market, leaving only the villagers who purchased iron ore and continuing to purchase iron ore.

After arranging the matters in the village, Yang Tao went to Chaoge City to prepare for the transaction of the special village construction order.

Halfway through, Yang Tao opened the friend column and added Sima Ying's ID Tianying Haoran, then contacted Sima Ying for a while before continuing to go on the road. However, not long after, a prompt sound from adding friends with Yu Luo Xingkong sounded. This should be the little sister's ID.

After Yang Tao connected Yu Luoxing, he asked, "Little sister, is it you? Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?" "Brother, no need, I don't want to go to your place yet. This game is so good, I want to go to many places to go." "Okay, you can play happily. If you want to come to me, I'll pick you up." "Well! Brother, goodbye."...

After talking to her sister, Yang Tao was a little surprised. Why was the younger sister who was in a hurry to meet two days ago? She was not in a hurry at this time?

Unable to figure it out, Yang Tao stopped thinking about it and continued to move towards Chaoge City.

Along the way, Yang Tao saw the ruins left by many player villages after being destroyed by monsters, and also encountered a player village that was fighting with monsters. Hundreds of wild dogs attacked the player villages in groups, destroying everything in the village, and there was a piece of flesh and blood flying everywhere. Fortunately, there was a shielding system in the game that could block some bloody scenes, otherwise not many people could withstand such bloody scenes.

Yang Tao did not stop watching or rescue him. The lord players were either enemies or friends, and there was no help for no reason. This may be the sorrow of being a lord player.

In the afternoon, Yang Tao came to Chaoge City and contacted Sima Ying. He learned that he had arrived at Chaoge and was having dinner at Huixiang Restaurant in the city.

Yang Tao entered Huixiang Restaurant and looked around. There was no magnificent decoration in the restaurant, but it was also spacious and tidy, much better than the inn. It is worthy of being an upgraded building of the inn, and it is just high-end.

Yang Tao found Sima Ying in the private room by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. He was sitting in a window seat while enjoying the wine while enjoying the scenery outside the window. With the literati costume he was wearing, he really had a bit of a talented person, but he always felt that something was missing, not very harmonious.

"Come on, just sit down." Hearing the voice, Sima Ying did not look back or get up to greet him, but just spoke lightly. Yang Tao knew that his personality was a bit strange and was not angry, but just said straight to the point: "I have brought it to the special village construction, let's complete the transaction quickly... There are still many things in my village that are in a hurry to deal with."

"No hurry, you can try the wine and food on the table first. The wine and food in this restaurant are good." Sima Ying still didn't look back, but said slowly. Yang Tao chuckled, shook his head, poured a glass of wine, and tasted the wine and food in front of him helplessly: "The wine and food are good, but the wine and food in this restaurant are very expensive, and it is unreasonable to say that the wine and food are not good." "Then do you think it's good or the food?" Sima Ying turned around and asked lightly, but after seeing Yang Tao's face, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Haha... you have been looking out the window just now, and you won't be thinking about this question all the time." Yang Tao asked with a smile when he saw Sima Ying finally turned around.

Sima Ying did not answer, but after watching Yang Tao for a long time, Yang Tao felt a little embarrassed, and then said, "Have we seen it somewhere before?" "No, at least we have never seen it in this life." "What does it mean." "Nothing, we should complete the transaction quickly and go back to arrange the territory. The game has just been updated, and I think you have many things to deal with." Seeing that he asked carefully, Yang Tao changed the topic.

Sima Ying was silent for a while, no longer thought about the previous questions, took out a drawing from her backpack and said to Yang Tao, "Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. The special village construction order is worth at least 10 million Chinese coins based on the current market. You only offer 5 million to sell it to me. Wouldn't I owe you a favor? I am the most afraid of owing everyone favors, so I brought a drawing and treat it as the remaining 5 million."

"Then I want to see which drawings are worth 5 million." Yang Tao took out the special village construction order from his backpack and handed them to Sima Ying. After taking the drawings from Sima Ying's hand, he took the drawings from Sima Ying and took a look, and was stunned in an instant.

Drawings of large-scale warship warships (fine steel grade): After use, large-scale warship warships can be built, and high-level carpenters and high-level blacksmiths can be built; each warship needs to consume 10,000 units of ordinary wood, 3,000 units of 10 grade wood, 1,000 units of 9 grade wood, 500 units of 8 grade wood, and 8,000 pieces of smelting iron.

Yang Tao did not expect that it was a drawing of a large-scale warship warship. There are small, medium and large warship warships. The more advanced the warship warship, the more people the more people it rides, the faster it is, and the stronger its combat power.

"How is it, are you still satisfied." Sima Ying saw Yang Tao staring at the drawings in his hand blankly, and then spoke up to remind him.

Yang Tao heard Sima Ying's reminder and came back to his senses and put away the drawings. He said gratefully to Sima Ying: "Satisfied, this drawing is of great use to me. By the way, how did you get such advanced drawings?" "It's good to be useful. As for how it got it, it's okay to tell you. Before the game was updated, I organized a team of tens of thousands of players several times and built a native intermediate water bandit camp, which I got from it. In order to capture that camp, tens of thousands of people died." "You are really courageous, but the game has not been opened for a long time.

It is a good idea to organize a large number of players to attack high-level monster communities, especially native communities. After all, players will not really die in the game, and the game has not been opened for a long time. The level of players is not high. Even if the game is extremely punished for death, the number of dead players is tens of thousands, as long as they can win an intermediate camp, it is worth it. It’s a pity that I don’t have the power like you, otherwise I might be even more crazy.” “It seems that you are also a smart person, so why not make friends?” “Okay.”…

"I have contacted my subordinates and transferred the remaining 4.5 million to your account. You can now go offline to check." "Okay!"...

After confirming that the money was received, Yang Tao and Sima Ying chatted for a while before leaving one after another.
Chapter completed!
