I have millions of wage earners

So Flynn first said to the players: "I saw that you just rode a horse and almost knocked down my people. This is a kind of disrespect to my lord and an infringement of my property."

"There are hundreds of people inside and outside Tudou Village. I ask you not to ride horses inside the village. You can only lead the horses forward."

"When you are in and outside the village, you must be courteous to pedestrians. I don't mind if you hit a few goblins on horseback, but if you hit the people of my Tudou Village and knock down the grandparents, then don't blame me for giving them a fine." Your BMW has turned into a donkey.”

Later, Flynn also specially issued a system announcement to inform players of the traffic regulations they need to abide by when driving, er... riding horses in Tudou Village.

Players don't have any objections to this restriction and generally agree with it.

Because there are currently only a few players with horses, and most players are horseless, the traffic regulations have no impact on them for the time being.

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

Players have always been very tolerant of game updates that can enhance their sense of immersion.

After warning the players on horseback and then issuing an announcement on traffic regulations, Flynn was inspired.

Perhaps, you need to build a stable.

Stables, in many real-time strategy games, are essential facilities for producing cavalry.

Today's Tudou Village is still far from being able to arm 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 now, but there are only two or three donkeys at the disposal of the livestock for transporting goods. This is far from being able to meet the needs of Tudou Village.

You, yourself, should build a stable and keep horses, mules, donkeys, etc. in it.

Horses, mules, donkeys and other animals that are your own private property can be invested in the construction of potato villages: although this is a losing business, it is for the purpose of building your own potato village.

If you invest your own money to build a potato village, it cannot be regarded as losing money.

There happened to be a businessman from Dunshan Town in the village, so Flynn told the businessman the news. He wanted to buy 20 mules and 20 donkeys as soon as possible.

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

When friends make business, they can also receive a small thank you fee.

While waiting for the mules and donkeys to be delivered by the merchants in Shield Mountain Town, Flynn also summoned the horseherd NPC Hassler.

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

"He's actually wearing a cowboy hat, and his style is quite Western-style."

Flynn said to the stylish Hassler: "Welcome to Potato Village. From today on, you are my stable herd. I will build a stable immediately and put you in charge."

Hassler nodded respectfully to Flynn and said, "No problem, raising horses is my specialty. May I ask Lord Flynn, how many horses are there in Tudou Village that I need to raise now?"

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 receive a batch of mules and donkeys, and you will be temporarily responsible for raising and managing them."

Hassler nodded and said, "Is that so? It turns out that I am a donkey herdsman, not a horse herdsman, so there is no problem."

As an NPC, Horseherd Hassler was not complaining, but Flynn always felt a little embarrassed hearing the word "Donkey Herdsman".

So Flynn explained: "You won't be managing too many horses for the time being. I will let the players keep their horses with you and receive formal unified maintenance and management."

"But later, with the economic and military development of Tudou Village, you will be able to take care of it."

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

After all, including the mules and donkeys purchased, plus the horses on hand by the players, the total is less than 100.

But Flynn didn't think there was anything wrong.

Not all NPCs can make money.

These NPCs who are not very profitable will have to be hired sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.

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

The players were also very happy when they saw the horseherd NPC Hasler and knew that a batch of beasts of burden such as donkeys and mules would be delivered soon.

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

"Many tasks would be much more efficient if mules were used for transportation."

"I estimate that if we borrow mules and donkeys, 80% of them will not be free."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you charge a fee, as long as you still make money after charging, then I'm willing to rent it."

Flynn himself is also looking forward to using animal power to improve the production efficiency of Potato Village.

If funds allowed, Flynn would have loved to buy 200 of them at once!

Unfortunately, the average market price of donkeys is 2,000 copper coins, and the average market price of mules is as high as over 3,500 copper coins. 20 donkeys and 20 mules and horses add up to 100,000 copper coins.

Soon, the livestock dealer in Dunshan Town sent 20 donkeys and 20 mules to Flynn, which was very efficient.

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

He carefully inspected the goods with Geres, and used his professional expertise. During the inspection of the goods, he discovered two mules and horses with hidden diseases.

I don’t know if it is indeed a hidden disease that is difficult to detect, or if the businessmen in Dunshan Town are deliberately trying to make a fortune.

But in any case, when Hassler pointed out the mules with hidden diseases, the merchants in Dunshan Town still had a good attitude - they said they would replace the mules with high-quality ones as soon as possible.

Flynn spent more than 100,000 copper coins to purchase 20 mules and 20 donkeys. Flynn stored these in the newly built stables, and the stableman Hassler was responsible for raising, cleaning, managing and using them.

These stables are usually given to other NPCs for use. Everyone is an NPC, so naturally they can use them for free.

There is no need to worry that other NPCs will abuse it at will and harm Flynn's interests.

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

Renting a donkey for 20 copper coins per day and renting a mule for 35 copper coins per day can be regarded as a small income.

In addition to being responsible for raising the donkeys and mules purchased by Flynn, Flynn requires players to also raise their own horses in the stables.
