Zhao Yan and Huang An sat at the top, and the rest of the brothers took their seats one by one.
The table was filled with delicacies and some light drinks.
It was getting late today, and he had been traveling for two days, so Huang An did not invite the other three brothers to get together.
However, Huang An did not invite them, but the three people who got the news came to visit him in person, and then left.
Zhao Yan has a special status, so they have to come.
The opportunity was too late. After asking after I came, I could only leave in anger, leaving it to be flattered later.
For Zhao Yan, the current Xialin Village is very novel.
This is Junior Brother's power. She has a special relationship with Junior Brother, so there is nothing formal or unfamiliar about her.
She was in high spirits, turning her head from time to time to explore around, or asking Xiaocao who was waiting beside her about what was going on in the forest village.
Seeing that Senior Sister Zhao was at ease, Huang An directly asked about the official affairs of Xialin Village.
"Yan Long, tell me about the construction progress!"
He went straight to the point.
Everyone is also familiar with Huang An's work style, especially Yan Long.
After hearing Huang An's question, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand and quickly swallowed the food in his throat.
He cleared his throat and blurted out:
"Brother, the construction is now on track! The roads have basically been laid according to your requirements. Our earthwork and stones are all transported from the back mountain.
Therefore, the roads were paved in advance to make it easier for brothers to enter and exit the village, and for horse-drawn and ox-drawn carriages to transport materials!"
Huang An understood. No wonder when he came up today, he found that the road was paved. It turned out that there was such a reason.
Otherwise, generally speaking, in construction projects, roads are always completed last.
After all, with such a large project, it is almost obvious that damage to the road will be inevitable.
However, the Ming Dynasty is special, and there are no heavy machinery that can damage the roads. It can be repaired first. It is a stone road anyway, and the damage will not be much worse.
The only troublesome thing may be that the livestock excrement needs to be cleaned up in time.
"All the houses have been planned. In order to facilitate management and speed up the construction, we have chosen to build them in a unified manner and complete them one by one. According to the current progress, we have now completed all the foundations of the houses to be built. We have begun to erect the beams and prepare
Stone, transporting wood and other work.”
Yan Long explained very carefully, and Huang An listened very carefully.
Combining what he saw at the construction site and on the way back, Huang An knew what he was doing.
He nodded, smiled and motioned for Yan Long to continue.
"Stones and earthwork are basically free of charge. They are made in the back mountains by our own people. The wood we need is all dry wood. We buy it from the mountain people and the wood merchants in the city, that is, the Yangjia Timber Shop.
The price is relatively affordable and the quality is acceptable. They will ship as much as we need.”
Huang An was stunned by Yan Long's words.
He explained it too carefully, and he is not interested in it now.
It's getting late now, so it's time to give a brief explanation.
Raising his hand, Huang An stopped him from continuing.
"Did those workers cause trouble?"
Hearing Huang An talk about this, Yan Long and others paused for a moment, then looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
There seemed to be some fear in their eyes. They were afraid of being held accountable by their elder brother after revealing the truth.
They naturally understood who the workers the elder brother was talking about were.
Naturally, they were the 700 workers working under the other three heads of Xialin Village.
Huang An raised his eyebrows, his voice suddenly became deeper, and he scolded:
"You're so long-winded. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You and I, brothers, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Although it was a scolding, everyone understood the meaning of protection and favoritism in the words, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Yan Long directly raised his hand and said:
"Brother, since you went to Youzhou, some unruly people have become more courageous. There was trouble a few days ago. There were twenty-five people who stole chickens and dogs, and twelve people who cheated and cheated. They beat our brothers.
, there are seven people in total who do not obey orders.”
Huang An's face darkened.
He knew that this would definitely happen.
However, he did not expect that someone would actually beat his brothers, which was absolutely intolerable.
He suppressed his temper and continued to listen.
Yan Long added, "They are all three heads of the family!"
Huang An blinked, suppressing the anger in his heart, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking around the crowd, and asked in a deep voice:
"How do you deal with these people?"
Hearing Huang An ask this question, Yan Long swallowed his throat and looked at the faces of the brothers. They all avoided his eyes for help.
He immediately cursed himself for being unlucky and had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply:
"My eldest brother emphasized discipline over and over again, and we had our word first. Therefore, after beating these people severely, they were expelled from the workers' team, and finally they were escorted and carried to the three bosses."
Beaten?
Carry it back?
When Huang An heard this, his expression finally softened a lot.
He touched his head and tried to recall the subtle expressions on their faces when he had just met his three good brothers, and he suddenly understood.
It seems that there is nothing wrong for my brothers to do this.
After all, both sides had made ugly remarks at the time, and there was no need for him to wrong his own people in order to maintain the so-called brotherhood between him and the three leaders.
They are a bunch of cheap guys who only have food to eat and can be paid on time, but they dare to make troubles selectively and even hit people.
If it weren't for Huang An's insufficient martial arts cultivation, he would naturally have no confidence.
Otherwise, Yang Chengwu and the others would have no problem beating these troublemakers to death.
He suddenly smiled and said bitterly:
"Well done! These bitches should be treated like this! Tomorrow, I will tell the three leaders face to face!"
Huang An's words reassured everyone.
What they were most afraid of and worried about was that after they punished these people as required, when their eldest brother came back, he was concerned about the brotherhood with the three leaders and took it out on them.
It is quite normal for such a situation to occur.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because this is what their former commander did.
The three heads of the family are all Bronze Skin Realm warriors. It is basically reasonable and reasonable for their eldest brother to choose to sacrifice them to maintain the so-called brotherhood.
However, what surprised and moved them was that their eldest brother was really different.
Their eldest brother's feelings for them were actually deeper than those of the three brothers in the Bronze Skin Realm.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue had changed to one of common hatred and hatred, Zhao Yan, who was still a little worried on one side, breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Xiaocao back to continue to understand what Huang An had done in Xialin Village.
He also asked roundaboutly whether Huang An had any maids around him and other questions.
Huang An was not afraid of the slanting shadow. Even if he could hear the conversation between the two women on the side, he pretended not to have heard it.
Gently reach out and make the noisy scene quiet again.
Huang An changed his tone and asked:
"Did the three heads of the family react abnormally to this matter? Did they come to seek justice?"
After hearing Huang An's words, everyone turned their attention to Yang Chengwu.
This matter was handled by Yang Chengwu with full authority, and he knew the details best.
Yang Chengwu blinked and said directly:
"The three masters were reasonable and did not make things difficult for us. After driving these people back, the second master came to talk to me personally and asked me to apologize to you, eldest brother, on his behalf. Then the next morning, they made up for it.
There is a vacancy in manpower.”
Seeing Huang An's relaxed expression, Yang Chengwu added.
"Since then, such a situation has never happened again. Those who were kicked out were not asked for wages. Even after they returned, they were pulled to the square in the center of the stockade and beaten severely."
At this point, not to mention Yang Chengwu, many other brothers laughed.
"oh?"
When Huang An heard this, his eyebrows jumped, he pursed his lips, and his brows that were originally slightly wrinkled also relaxed.
It seems that the three brothers are easier to get along with than expected.
Since you are giving yourself face in this way, you should treat the three of them a little closer tomorrow.
As soon as his voice changed, he asked:
"Our brother, is he seriously injured?"
When Yang Chengwu and others heard Huang An's question, they suddenly showed relaxed and carefree smiles.
"Brother, there are many of us and we are in our territory, how can we let our brothers suffer?"
Yan Long even gave it a try, but when Huang An glanced at him, he instantly became weak and quickly explained:
"These are just skin injuries, they have been cured long ago!"
Hearing this, Huang Ancai laughed out loud and praised:
"Well done, we are responsible for this matter and we can't let our brothers suffer!"
He clasped his fingers on the table and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of everyone being together to talk about sending people to Feng'an City, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
"Now that everything has been discussed, let's start eating. I believe you are all hungry too!"
When Yang Chengwu and others heard this, they were overjoyed and started to change cups one by one.
Huang An felt someone looking at him, turned around and saw that it was Senior Sister Zhao.
Senior Sister Zhao seemed to have something to say in her eyes. Huang An calmly shook his head. Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, blinked his beautiful eyes, and then said no more.
Apparently, the two of them had just thought of going together, that is, to transfer manpower from Xialin Village to Feng'an City to help.
However, Huang An already had an idea in mind and did not want to allocate manpower in such a hurry, so he gave up the idea.
I'll take a closer look at the entire project tomorrow and then talk about allocating manpower.
He not only wanted to ensure that he would have some available manpower around him when he went to Feng'an City, but he also wanted to ensure as much as possible that the construction of Xialin Village would not be delayed.
This matter can actually be balanced.
Because the helpers he needs are literate warriors, while the helpers he needs on the Xialinzhai construction site are just laborers doing hard work.
Most of the management people left in Xialin Village can be illiterate, as long as the leader can calculate accounts.
The stall was too big. He had only learned about the problems on the construction site here tonight, but he had not yet asked about the large farmland and pig farm on the opposite side of the hillside.
After looking at the construction issues of the house tomorrow, he plans to go to Dapo to have a look, and then discuss and decide on the manpower to be transferred.
And this is also the most important reason.
The decision was made, Huang An was ready to eat.
He and his senior sister had just taken a bath and changed their clothes. At this time, he was eating slowly and enjoying the refreshing mountain breeze in the evening, which made him feel relaxed and comfortable.
Most of the fatigue all over my body disappeared.
This small banquet lasted from seven o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock in the evening.
Huang An and Zhao Yan had been traveling for two days. Although they were not tired, Huang An had not finished his evening martial arts training yet, so he informed everyone and left early.
When Zhao Yan saw Huang An leaving, he got up and chased after him.
As soon as the two left, everyone no longer felt left out, but instead ate more happily.
It was late today, they needed to fill their stomachs quickly, and then help clean up the leftovers in the house and yard.
In the school grounds, Huang An practiced the exercise method over and over again.
Under the moonlight, his strong figure appears more agile and agile.
Zhao Yan folded his arms and looked at it with a smile.
However, her pretty face was slightly flushed with a charming blush.
Because Huang An found it troublesome, he just practiced martial arts shirtless.
Although Zhao Yan had seen Huang An like this before, looking at him now, his heartbeat accelerated, and even the energy and blood in his body seemed to be out of control.
This is completely different from the feeling before.
She is not practicing martial arts now, not because she is lazy, but because she just made a breakthrough.
She had just broken through not long ago, and her body had not yet fully adapted to the sudden surge in energy and blood, and her body had not yet completely entered a stable stage.
She can kill people, and even use the power of blood and qi in her body, but she can't practice with all her strength for the time being.
Because once you practice with all your strength, the power of qi and blood that skyrockets due to practice will tear apart the relatively fragile body that has not fully adapted to the current state, causing certain damage to the body and causing internal injuries.
Therefore, after practicing martial arts every morning, she will not practice hard the rest of the time.
Seeing Huang An using various body-building techniques at this moment, Zhao Yan was not surprised, but felt rather honored.
On the way, Huang An practiced body-building techniques and did not avoid her, so she knew that Huang An had mastered eleven body-building techniques.
She was surprised, even frightened, when she first heard it, but after a little time, she accepted it.
Moreover, she is not just watching now, but is learning and becoming familiar with several exercises that are unfamiliar to her.
The younger junior brother said that if she wanted to learn body-building techniques, he could teach her what he knew.
Zhao Yan has now broken through to the copper-skin realm. Although he is not yet able to practice, it is still possible to learn it and become familiar with it in advance.
With a Bronze Skin realm cultivation, she will be able to learn new body-building techniques very quickly.
Although the effect is not as great as when practicing in the Six Fu Realm or the Five Zang Realm, it is still of great benefit to the foundation of martial arts.
She had many skills but was not overwhelmed, so she did not refuse.
After finishing their martial arts practice, the two walked side by side toward the house.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and the two of them are in a good mood.
"Why didn't you just talk about sending people to Feng'an City?"
Zhao Yan turned his head and asked softly.
Huang An kept walking, as if he already knew that Senior Sister Zhao also asked this question, he smiled directly and said:
"Sister, you have also seen the changes in Xialin Village. The people we want in Feng'an City are literate, and preferably those who can fight."
Zhao Yan nodded slightly and signaled Huang An to continue.
"In Xialin Village, the only people under my control and able to mobilize are these twenty-two warriors, and you can be considered acquainted with them today. The rest of them don't know a single word, and it actually makes no difference whether they go to Feng'an City or not.
"
"The position of Feng'an City Lord is vacant, and the managers below, or the people in the mansion, are leaderless. If Senior Sister takes over the City Lord's Mansion, these people will inevitably swarm in and be used by us."
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and had to admit that Huang An was telling the truth.
Her identity is here, and her background is tough.
Among the people who work in the city lord's palace, although there are more children from big families, overall, the majority are those warriors from small families who work in the city lord's palace to earn a living.
This group of people can really be used first, and then you can select and train your own people.
"This month, my brothers are also responsible for escorting passengers. Every time the escort team sets off, at least ten warriors must accompany them."
Hearing Huang An's sighing tone, Zhao Yan's expression changed. She actually ignored this and couldn't help but said anxiously:
"Then what should we do? We can't ignore Feng'an City! We can't just throw away this escort duty!"
