I have tens of millions of wage earners

Chapter 79
So Flynn first said to the players: "I see that you rode horses just now and almost knocked down my people. This is a kind of disrespect for the lord, and it is also a violation of my property."

"Now there are hundreds of people inside and outside Tudou Village. I ask you not to ride horses in the village, but to lead the horses forward."

"When you are in the village or outside the village, you should be polite to passers-by. I don't mind if you hit a few goblins by riding a horse, but if you bump into the people of my Tudou Village and knock down grandpa and grandma, then don't blame me. Your BMW has turned into a donkey."

Afterwards, Flynn also specially issued a system announcement, informing players of the traffic regulations that players need to abide by when driving in Tudou Village, uh... riding horses.

Regarding this limitation, the players have no opinion, and generally agree with it.

Because there are only a small number of players with horses at present, most of the players are horseless, and the traffic regulations have no effect on them for the time being.

On the other hand, the promulgation of traffic rules has also made the game world more real, which can increase the sense of substitution and make Tudou Village more orderly.

Players have always had a high level of patience for game updates that can improve the sense of substitution.

After admonishing the players who were riding horses, and then announcing traffic regulations, Flynn was inspired.

Perhaps, I need to build a stable.

Stables, in many real-time strategy games, are a must-have facility for cavalry production.

Today's Tudou Village is still far from being armed with real cavalry in batches.

However, in addition to raising horses, stables can also raise mules and donkeys!

There are so many construction projects in Tudou Village, but there are only two or three donkeys at their disposal, which is far from meeting the needs of Tudou Village.

Oneself, one should build a stable and keep horses, mules, donkeys, etc. in it.

Animals such as horses, mules and donkeys that are privately owned by themselves can be invested in the construction of potato villages: this is certainly a business that loses money, but it is for the construction of their own potato villages.

If you invest your own money in the construction of Tudou Village, this is not a loss of money.

It happened that there was a businessman from Shield Mountain Town in the village, so Flynn informed the businessman that he wanted to buy 20 mules and 20 donkeys as soon as possible.

Among the merchants in Tudou Village, there is no mule, horse and donkey business, but when they return to Dunshan Town, they will tell other friendly merchants about the business.

Friends and merchants have made business, and they can also get a little thank you fee.

While waiting for the mules and donkeys from the merchants of Shield Mountain Town, Flynn also summoned the stable NPC Hassler.

Before, Flynn thought that Hassler, the stable boy, would be a stout man who raised horses, but when he was summoned, Flynn couldn't help being a little surprised.

"It's actually wearing a cowboy hat, and the style is kind of like a western movie."

Flynn said to the handsome Hassler: "Welcome to Potato Village. From today on, you will be my horseman. I will build a stable right away, and you will be in charge."

Hassler nodded to Flynn respectfully, and said, "No problem, horse breeding is my specialty. May I ask Mr. Flynn, how many horses do I need to raise in Tudou Village?"

Flynn said: "Now I only have one horse, which is usually tied directly in my yard, and I don't need you to raise it."

"I hired you because Tudou Village is about to buy a batch of mules and donkeys, and you will be in charge of raising and managing them temporarily."

Hassler nodded and said, "Is this the case? It turns out that I'm a donkey breeder, not a horse breeder, so there's no problem."

As an NPC, Hassler, the horse herd, didn't complain, but Flynn always felt a little embarrassed hearing the word "donkey herd".

So Flynn explained: "For the time being, you won't manage too many horses. I will let the players raise their horses with you and accept formal unified maintenance and management."

"But in the future, with the development of Tudou Village's economy and military, I will let you take care of it."

The weekly salary of the stable NPC Hassler is 10 grams of mithril powder. Perhaps with the current configuration of Tudou Village, summoning a weekly maintenance fee of 10 grams of mithril powder is a bit extravagant.

After all, counting the purchased mules and donkeys, plus the horses on hand of the players, there are less than 100 in total.

But Flynn didn't see anything wrong.

Not all NPCs can make money in the first place.

These non-profitable NPCs will be hired and summoned sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

In order to improve Tudou Village step by step, sometimes it is necessary to hire those NPCs who are not very cost-effective.

And the players were also very happy when they saw the horseman NPC Hassler and knew that a batch of pack animals such as donkeys and mules would arrive soon.

"Aha, can we finally get rid of the age of human power and enter the age of animal power?"

"If there are mules to transport many tasks, the efficiency will be improved a lot."

"I estimate that if we borrow mules and donkeys, [-]% will not be free."

"It doesn't matter, even if there is a fee, as long as there is still profit after the fee, then I am willing to rent it."

Including Flynn himself, he is also looking forward to using animal power to improve the production efficiency of Tudou Village.

If funds allow, Flynn would like to buy 200 heads at once!

Unfortunately, the average market price of donkeys is 2000 copper coins, and the average market price of mules is as high as 3500 copper coins. 20 donkeys, 20 mules and horses add up to 10 copper coins.

Soon the livestock merchants in Shield Mountain Town sent 20 donkeys and 20 mules to Flynn, which was very efficient.

As the chief stablekeeper of Tudou Village, Hassler played an important role in this transaction.

He followed Ge Gesi to inspect the goods carefully, and showed his professional expertise. During the inspection of the goods, he found two mules and horses with hidden diseases.

I don't know if it is really a hidden disease that is hard to find, or the merchants in Dunshan Town deliberately want to make a fortune.

But in any case, when Hassler pointed out the mule with a hidden disease, the merchants in Shield Mountain Town had a very good attitude-they said they would replace it with a high-quality mule as soon as possible.

Spending a little over 100000 copper coins, he bought 20 mules and 20 donkeys, which Flynn stored in the newly built stables, which were raised, cleaned, managed and used by the stableman Hassler.

These stables are generally handed over to other NPCs for use. Everyone is an NPC, so naturally they are free to use.

There is no need to worry about other NPCs arbitrarily abusing it and harming Flynn's interests.

In addition to being used by NPCs, Flynn also allows Hassler to lease donkeys or mules to players for limited use, of course for a fee.

Rent a donkey for 20 copper coins a day, and rent a mule for 35 copper coins a day, which is a small income.

In addition to being responsible for raising the donkeys and mules bought by Flynn, Flynn asked the players to raise their own horses in the stables as well.
