Lin Han was overjoyed to obtain the [Large-Scale Village Construction Drawings].
The village is now saturated with population, and with more than 800 laborers joining in, the village is being developed at a very fast speed. Once it becomes a large-scale mountain village, the village will become even more powerful.
Lin Han immediately called Lao Mu.
Now Lao Mu is the leader of the craftsman team and his skills are improving rapidly.
The NPC characters in this game do not have fixed attributes. All attributes can grow. Bandits grow in battle, and craftsmen grow in construction. It depends on how the players use them. If they use them properly, these ordinary characters can become great talents.
"Old Wood, if we want the village to become a large one, take a look at the blueprints. How many resources and materials are needed?"
Lao Mu was shocked and thought carefully.
"I'm afraid this will require quite a bit. 12,000 cubic meters of wood, 34,000 cubic meters of stone, 50,000 kilograms of iron ore, 1,000 workers, and 5,000 taels of gold. The construction will take a month."
Seeing the information given by Lao Mu, Lin Han froze in place.
Damn, this is too scary.
Five thousand taels of gold, according to the current real currency ratio, is worth more than four million.
His stronghold was now financially well-off after the windfall, and he could indeed take out five thousand taels of gold, but it would have almost wiped out his entire fortune.
There is hard work in quarrying the stone, but the accumulation from the recent reclamation now amounts to nearly 110,000 cubic meters, and the timber to over 50,000 cubic meters.
No wonder the system prompts that the conditions are met.
“Is there a more cost-effective way?”
"Sir, this is considered a small amount. Our stronghold is surrounded by mountains on three sides, so we only need one side of the wall to build, saving 60% of the materials. If it were an ordinary stronghold, the materials needed would be more than twice as much."
"The wall of this village is a high-level wall, with better and higher defense than our current one."
"The blueprints for a large-scale village include some architectural plans, such as artisan camps, pioneer camps, warehouses, academies, barracks, granaries, meeting halls, and advanced training grounds. The village will be significantly transformed, so the cost will naturally be high."
Over four million, plus even more money for materials, if converted into real money, he could live comfortably for the rest of his life. Once he did it, he would be a pauper again, but the defense strength of the copycat would rise to a new level.
Do it or not?
Lin Han gritted his teeth and decided to kill the brave ones.
"Do it."
"Okay." Lao Mu was very surprised and took his leave in a hurry.
After making the decision, Lin Han slumped in his chair.
He assured me that this was the craziest decision he had ever made in his life.
Hanjiang Village entered a period of vigorous construction, taking advantage of the time when there were no soldiers attacking to strengthen the village.
Having spent a huge amount of money to build the village and with an empty pocket, Lin Han naturally would not sit idle. He led his troops to sweep and plunder the bandits around Hulu Mountain again to replenish the inventory.
The bandits around Hulu Mountain cried and didn't know who they had offended, as this disaster had befallen them.
A month passed without incident.
After that battle, the entire An County was in a panic, fearing revenge from the bandits in Hanjiang Village. However, they waited in fear, but did not see the bandits coming down the mountain to plunder, so they finally felt relieved.
The magistrate of An County did not dare to recruit more soldiers to attack Hanjiang Village. They were scared out of their wits after losing two county lieutenants in two battles.
Lu Kang had not returned from suppressing the bandits, and there was no response to his report to the court. He could only wait in fear, hoping that Lin Han would not attack them.
Hanjiang Village has attracted the attention of players, but due to a long period of inactivity, people gradually lost interest.
Looking at Hanjiang Village again, it had changed drastically.
A city wall 20 meters high, 10 meters wide and 200 meters long stands at the entrance of Hulu Valley. The tributary of Lujiang River becomes a natural moat for the stronghold. The bridge is widened and reinforced, and a river embankment is built, which is higher in the north and lower in the south, to prevent the enemy from intercepting the river and attacking.
Inside Hulu Mountain, the stronghold was expanded into the inner city and outer city.
The mouth of the second gourd was also cut off by a tall city wall, forming two gourd bellies.
The outer part is a place for combat training, with barracks, advanced training grounds, and granaries; the inner part is where residents live, artisan camps, pioneer camps, academies and other logistical buildings are located.
Entering from Hulukou, the main stone road is four meters wide, allowing two carriages to travel side by side, leading directly to the inner valley. The two sides of the road are separated by guardrails. Outside is the training ground, which is blocked by the camp fence and the training situation on the training ground cannot be seen.
Entering the inner city is the residential area, which is like a paradise.

The construction of the cottage had just been completed, and a series of prompts made Lin Han overwhelmed.
So terrifying.
A great harvest.
Lin Han was stunned for three seconds, then he was ecstatic.
