Tao Cong (84, Networking) Searches Xiang Yang. Success! During your search, you come across a trader who is holding the reigns to two horses. He seems to be perturbed, and catches your eye. He explains that he was told to stay here and keep track of these horses for a rich man while he went into the local inn for some reason... four hours ago. He is greatly annoyed and wants to leave, but fears that the rich man might hunt him down if he merely abandons them. He wonders if you will keep the reigns yourself?

Tao Cong shall hold onto the horsies.

Another hour passes, but the man returns for the horses, and gives Tao Cong a very sizable 100 gold reward for his efforts.

Fu Hui successfully magistrates in Jianye. Fu Hui’s next case is a raggedy looking farmer who seems down on his luck. He is looking for a little more money from the regional government to help with the coming winter storms, as he does not have enough to protect his family from the storm. If he gets enough from the government, he will have no fears for their safety. Fu Hui’s decision will be the one that gives this man enough security for the winter or not. Does Fu Hui allow for a small loan from the government?**

"I will allow it but, raggedy looking farmer, be sure to repay the loan once winter passes."

Fu Hui does allow the small loan from the government!

You gain Terrain Map of the Central Plains (Map; +5 Int) in thanks!

Shi Ming-Hua holds a Debate tournament. +86 gold, +20 cha xp
Shi Ming-Hua searches Jian Ye, fail.
Shi Ming-Hua teaches characters in Jian Ye, success. The public school board is short on funds for the next term. Surely an investment of fifty gold is not too much to ask of an officer of Jian Ye?
Shi Ming-Hua studies networking 1 time for +20 X

As of December I would not have the 50 gold to do this. If I have it now (via my expo gold and officer pay) can I use that gold?

bumping this

[The Tiger Guard]

Oops, sorry about that. Um, yes you would have the expo money at this point (not the salary though). So...

Clapping their hands in glee, the public school board can now continue on with their curriculum. They offer their thanks. They also offer you to become a member of the PTA. And...that's it. -50 gold.

Why 1895 gold? Is it because I succeeded in making a unique item? I thought that was what the 500 gold was for no? (895 for a +8 and 500 for a unique item = 1395 no???)

[The Tiger Guard]

Oh, yeah. Probably a mistake somewhere along the process. -1395 gold. Though why you still care is beyond me.

Zhuang Shi (71) trains his Politics three times. [+117 Pol XP]
Zhuang Shi searches Luo Yang. (72 Cha, Networking II). Success! During your search, you come across, of all things, an axe lying in a trash heap. In careful examination, it looks like it might yet be serviceable, although it has the signs of heavy use and has, perhaps, been in the gutter here for a lot time. Do you take it?
Zhuang Shi hires staff to construct a Catapult. [1/2 Months, -1380 Gold]
Remaining AP: 10 AP

#1 - I take it that my catapult isn't nerfed given the new rule about siege weapons isn't retrospective.

#2 - I'll take that axe and make it shiney again.

#1 - You can continue constructing the catapult.... just make sure you have a Machine Shop (or one of its upgrades)... but it's possessed by evil spirits... luckily they got bored and left... for now...

#B - After your long adventure through the garbage heap you get a hold of the axe! It's like they say: One Person's Trash, Another Person's Axe (MR, War+1)!
