More than half a month after Cheng Dalei started his military plan, the village once again encountered a food shortage crisis.
The five hundred people who suddenly joined became the main food consumers. Of course, Cheng Dalei was no longer a fledgling, and he also had experience in dealing with such things. In the past few days, he had been sending people to various places to buy food, and naturally he used Mo Mingmi.
The money left behind has been able to last until now, but it can no longer be sustained.
"How many days will the current food be enough to last?" Cheng Dalei.
Li Xingzai calculated silently and said, "At most three days."
Cheng Dalei has always been surrounded by a talented person who understands economics. He used to rely on Huang Sanyuan, but now Huang Sanyuan and Gao Feihu have gone to the south. The current cottage is supported by Liu Bei, but it is just a matter of rushing to the shelves. As for Xu Shenji...
He would be better off as a mascot.
But Li Xingzai is a rare talent in this field. After all, he is the sixth prince of the empire. He has received elite education since he was a child. Although he has not passed the diploma (imperial examination), he is obviously the most educated in the village. However, how can his majestic prince accompany him?
Although he helped me occasionally, as he said, there was more of an examination and learning component.
"Can we only last three days? We have to find a way to get some food."
The environment of Qinchuan is different from that of Qingniu Mountain. Qingniu Mountain is poor and rough, and the surrounding villages are poorer than the villages. However, relatively speaking, Qinchuan is relatively wealthy.
Therefore, Cheng Dalei had no intention of farming from the beginning.
The eighteen powerful families like Dou Zhu and others just rely on collecting protection fees to survive.
Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up, yes, why did he forget about him?
Cheng Dalei, Li Xingzai and Fudler walked into the dungeon.
Yun Zhonglong was still imprisoned in the dungeon. During these attacks, he even gained weight. It must be said that Cheng Dalei's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners was implemented well.
As soon as he saw Cheng Dalei, Yun Zhonglong became more energetic: "Boss Cheng, you are here, when will you let me go."
Cheng Dalei sighed and said: "Originally, I have sent a message to your people. As long as they bring the money, I plan to let you go. However, your people not only failed to send the money, but also cooperated with them.
A gang came to attack me, well, what should I do?"
"Those bastards, Boss Cheng, please let me go back. I promise to deliver the money within three days."
"Now that you are locked up here, will they still listen to you? Will they treat you as a dead person?"
"Don't worry, Boss Cheng. Without me, those bastards can't have fun. As long as I go back, I will still be their boss."
"Okay, I will believe you once." Cheng Dalei said, "You can go back this time."
Cheng Dalei really released Yun Zhonglong, and Zhao Zilong led his team to escort him straight to Gray Sheep Plains. Before leaving, Yun Zhonglong burst into tears of gratitude to Cheng Dalei, and his feelings of farewell were beyond words.
"Boss Cheng, we are waiting for you to get up. If you can kill Mo Mingmi, we will make sure that Cheng Dalei obeys you."
A group of people went, Gao Feibao and Zhang Fei came over and said: "Master, you are not very interesting. Why did you send Zilong? We can go too."
After being divided into teams, there was also competition between the various teams, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Cheng Dalei first thought of Zhao Zilong this time, and he obviously felt that everyone was not as good as Zhao Zilong.
This is indeed Cheng Dalei's true inner thought.
Cheng Dalei gathered Zhang Fei, Qin Man, Guan Yu, and Gao Feibao into Juyi Hall.
"Everyone has been training for a long time. Whether it is useful and how useful it is still needs to be tested in actual combat. I decided to start a ten-day actual combat competition and determine the winner based on the results."
"What kind of actual combat competition?" Gao Feibao.
"robbery."
Upon hearing these two words, everyone became energetic. After all, heavy training is indeed a bit boring, and everyone is willing to go outside to stretch their muscles.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. There are no birds on the island."
"Master, when does it start? Is it now?"
Several people jumped up and seemed unable to hold down no matter what.
"Immediately, immediately." Cheng Dalei said: "This time you two will act separately. I don't care how you act, but I have to decide who to rob."
"Who are you robbing?"
"Whoever came to rob us a few days ago, we will rob."
The four of them nodded and understood what Cheng Dalei meant. The leaders of the Eighteen Families have been domineering here for so many years and how much wealth they have accumulated. If they say they are taking advantage of the rich, are there any who are richer than them? What's more, both parties have already
After fighting, the opponent's combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning at all.
After receiving Cheng Dalei's order, the four people left and began to take action. Four teams, namely the Fish-shaped team, the Zhang-shaped team, the Barbarian-shaped team, and the Leopard-shaped team, assembled. Everyone was high-spirited and wanted to win in this competition.
A commander can often determine the spirit of a team. Guan Yu is arrogant by nature and never knows how to write "lose", while Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao are usually competitive leaders. In comparison,
Qin Man's determination to win was not very strong, so his Manzi team also played steadily.
It's just that they are all strong-blooded men. No one wants to be inferior to others, and they all have the intention of competing in their hearts.
Cheng Dalei just let them go this time and let them do whatever they wanted. Anyway, the leaders of the Eighteen Families were not very powerful in fighting and could not cause any serious problems.
The four groups of people showed their special abilities and went out to rob. Cheng Dalei and others were hiding on the island. At this time, someone suddenly came to join the village.
Recently, people have come to join them from time to time, and Cheng Dalei can't ask everyone. The cottage naturally has a set of assessment procedures. However, the cottage is relatively empty today, and Cheng Dalei has nothing to do, so he helps Xu Shenji with the assessment.
"Name?" Cheng Dalei asked casually. Standing in front of him was an eight-foot-tall man with ordinary facial features.
"My surname is Zhang, Zhang Qiang." The man was clumsy and his expression was a bit silly.
Cheng Dalei narrowed his eyes and looked at the man twice.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The man seemed to notice something strange in Cheng Dalei's eyes.
"Oh, nothing, what are you doing?"
"He is a blacksmith in the village."
"Oh, blacksmith." Cheng Dalei pursed his lips, but in his eyes, the man's message was clearly visible.
Name: Mu Changgeng (an unknown top military general)
Age:32
Skill: Iron Ring Knife
Hidden attributes: none
Why did the military commander pretend to be a blacksmith? Why did his surname Mu say that his surname was Zhang... His name was hidden, but it was just for that reason. Therefore, Cheng Dalei's smile became a little meaningful.
"Your Majesty, is something wrong?" Shepherd Changgeng scratched the back of his head naively.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Zhang Qiang. I've been expecting you."
"Well, does your Majesty know me?"
"Hey, from now on we are all brothers, what else don't we know?"
