Chapter 23: The attack is over, and the harvest is plentiful!
After the battle is over.
Zhou Liang then went to the battlefield to take stock of the spoils of war and the losses.
After the statistics are completed.
Approaching Zhu Youjian, he said, "Your Majesty."
Zhu Youjian looked at the water and nodded: "Speak."
"A total of 150 guards participated in the attack, with 27 killed and 76 of the 120 iron helmets damaged."
"Of the 120 iron breastplates, 91 were damaged."
"Eighty-four pairs of trousers were damaged, and sixty-six pairs of shoes were damaged."
"Sixteen diamond helmets were lost, the diamond breastplates were completely destroyed, the trousers were completely destroyed, and nine shoes were damaged."
"The remaining ones have varying degrees of durability loss, but almost none of them have more than half their durability remaining."
"Regarding weaponry, all 150 bows were destroyed, and 300 shields were damaged."
Zhou Liang paused slightly when he mentioned this data.
Fortunately, His Majesty had instructed that several shields should be prepared.
If the shields hadn't been adequately prepared, the losses in this battle would likely have been far greater than this.
Zhu Youjian looked up: "Why did you stop reading?"
Zhou Liang came to his senses.
"Twenty-five diamond swords were damaged, and ninety-five iron swords were damaged."
"Six thousand one hundred loaves of bread were wasted."
"Seventy-six warhorses lost."
This can be seen from these data.
The battle was extremely fierce, and although the victory was won, it was a Pyrrhic one.
In Zhu Youjian's prediction, the number of deaths in battle would be no more than ten, which was the ideal situation.
But clearly, the death toll exceeded their budget.
"Collect the bodies of all the fallen soldiers."
"Also, please compile a list of the hometowns of the fallen soldiers and give it to me."
Zhou Liang was confused.
"Your Majesty, what do you intend to do?"
Zhu Youjian slowly stood up: "Fallen leaves, how can they not return to their roots?"
"I will take their bodies back and bury them in their hometowns."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang smiled slightly, bowed, and nodded, "Your Majesty, I understand."
"If they have families, the compensation money should be properly organized."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Liang seemed somewhat troubled.
Some of the soldiers who died in battle did indeed have families.
However, this world has no shortage of food, and a monetary system has not yet been established.
I'm not sure what to give the compensation to.
"Your Majesty, what should the pension be for?"
Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment: "Give me land."
"Land? Where is the land?"
"Naturally, it was farmland during the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youjian began, "I believe that many people will miss the days in the real world."
Although there is no shortage of food and drink here.
But there is one thing missing.
That is... being unable to have children.
That's right, normal villagers can have children, but they can't.
In terms of their status, they were identified as villagers.
In terms of physical structure, they are players, without mods.
Players cannot have children with each other.
As the saying goes, once you're full and satisfied, you'll start to think about lustful things; it's instinct.
Those who do not indulge in lust will have no offspring, and their genes will not be passed down.
"But now the farmland is in the hands of powerful and wealthy families, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youjian was naturally aware of this.
Ninety percent of the country's arable land was in the hands of powerful and wealthy families, while the remaining ten percent belonged to the poor.
"I cannot pay the pension now, but I will certainly do so soon."
Zhou Liang pondered for a moment.
It seems that we need to get Father to sell all the land in the family estate.
Sooner or later, the emperor will take action against powerful and wealthy families.
Perhaps, by taking the initiative, we can preserve our family.
"Your Majesty understands."
"What about the soldiers who don't have families?"
Most of those who enter this place are refugees.
They were all alone.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youjian said, "Find a place and erect a monument for them."
Without family members, material compensation is useless.
All he could give these people was a tombstone commemorating their deeds.
After dealing with these matters.
Then came the receipt of the spoils of war.
Because there were too many spoils, they were all put in boxes.
Raiders drop crossbows, arrows, emeralds, and a small chance of enchanted books.
The Defender drops emeralds, and has a small chance of dropping enchanted books.
The witch's drops are slightly worse, including redstone dust, spider eyes, and other items used for making potions.
The raider, on the other hand, lost its saddle.
The most crucial summoner is the one that drops the Undying Totem and has a chance to drop Emeralds.
Looking at a box full of immortal totems.
Zhu Youjian felt slightly better.
With these immortal totems, the lives of the village guards can be protected once again.
Ninety Summoners appeared in total, and ninety Undying Totems were lost.
Eighty of them can be used by the villagers' guards.
The remaining ten.
Perhaps, it can be bestowed upon those meritorious officials.
If Cao Wenzhao and others had an immortal totem, perhaps they could have changed their fate.
The Undying Totem can withstand a fatal blow, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
Apart from the immortal totem.
The most precious item is the enchanted book.
The chances of a moral guardian dropping an enchanted book are very low, Zhu Youjian glanced at it briefly.
Most of them are durable, sharp, and protective.
There are a total of thirty enchanted books.
Durability accounts for half of the total, fifteen books.
Five sharp books.
Protect the five books.
One copy each of Flame Affect, Efficiency, Knockback, Undead Slayer, and Thorns.
Although it doesn't have rarer enchantment books like Infinite, Loot, Fortune, or Frostwalker.
But its durability, sharpness, and ability to protect these enchanted books are also quite good.
Come to think of it.
If the dropped enchanted books were all infinite, then the attack would be nothing to worry about.
It instantly transforms into a machine gun, unleashing a barrage of arrows.
Who can stop them?
"Zhou Liang".
"Your subject is here."
"Give these enchanted books to Zhu Yong and the others, and let them choose according to the number of enemies each of them has killed."
To use an enchanted book, you need experience points.
Experience points are earned either by killing enemies or by mining.
"Yes." Zhu Yong and the others were somewhat surprised when they learned that the emperor was going to reward them with all the enchanted books.
"Did His Majesty really give us such wondrous things?"
They didn't know what enchanting was.
But they knew that these enchanted books could make weapons sharper and armor stronger.
There were eight waves of attacks in total, killing nearly a thousand raiders and moralists.
Only thirty books were lost in total.
This is enough to prove its rarity.
Such a fine thing, yet the emperor didn't keep it for himself.
"His Majesty said that these enchanted books will only gather dust in his hands."
"Only in your hands can they reach their full potential."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong no longer refused. As the one who had made the greatest contribution, Zhu Yong was the first to be chosen.
After reviewing the information, Zhu Yong immediately selected: Undead Slayer.
"This is the one."
It sounds impressive just from its name.
Next up is Zhao Zhu.
After thinking it over, Zhao Zhu chose to apply the Flame Attachment.
Then comes sharpness, and protection is chosen first.
Because durability is not very useful to them.
"Sigh, I'm just missing a Raider, otherwise that Sharp Sword would be mine."
"It's good enough that there are any. There are only thirty enchanted books, and I rank thirty-first in terms of kills."
Some people envy those who rank in the top 30 in kills, as they get to choose an enchanted book.
Those who could only choose durability enchantment books envied Zhu Yong's Undead Slayer and Zhao Zhu's Fire Attachment.
Having fighting spirit is a good thing.
There are currently too few players in my world, so it's difficult to establish a merit system at the moment.
This was the only way to reward them, and it worked surprisingly well.
Zhu Youjian watched this scene, smiled slightly, and immediately turned and left the Minecraft world.
