Chapter 313 The wind rises from the end of Qingping
Chapter 313
When Cheng Dalei returned to Toad Village, he saw that most of the entire project had been completed. It must be said that with the blessing of his proficient construction skills, the progress of the project was very fast.
There are busy workers everywhere, and everyone is working enthusiastically, but this is only beautiful on the surface, and the consumption of Toad Village is already very serious on the inside.
When Cheng Dalei was sitting in the Juyi Hall, listening to Liu Bei's report, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
"There are now more than 3,000 people working in the village. Counting our original brothers, there are more than 4,000 people who need to eat. The food stored in the village can only last for three days at most. In the past few days, Zilong and the others have been allowed to rob the surrounding large households.
, but still unable to make ends meet.”
"In addition, the brothers have been asked to mine the large wooden rocks in the mountains, but a lot of copper and iron are needed. These things can only be bought at high prices. The prices are very high. If we continue to build, we will need at least one thousand kilograms of copper and iron. We can no longer afford such
That’s a lot of money.”
"..."
Liu Bei reported one by one, and brought the account book to Cheng Dalei to see. Cheng Dalei saw that every account was recorded very clearly, and the handwriting was also very graceful.
"You can't tell." Cheng Dalei praised: "Uncle Huang has such good regular script, it's rare for him to be able to calculate accounts clearly."
"It's not my calculation."
"Hey, who is that?" Cheng Dalei.
"your Highness."
There is only one princess in Toad Village, and everyone in Toad Village still respects Li Waner very much. After all, she is an imperial princess and has natural prestige. Cheng Dalei does not take the title of princess seriously, which does not mean that a native of the empire like Liu Bei should not do it either.
thing.
Cheng Dalei just didn't expect that Li Wan'er could be good at calculating accounts, but she had always buried him.
According to Liu Bei, since the start of the project, there have been all kinds of things to deal with, and Liu Bei alone can't handle it, even with Li Xingzai's help. At the critical moment, thanks to Li Waner, he took action and made every account clear.
Chu, it allowed things to get on track without increasing unnecessary consumption.
As for how to deal with the current predicament, Li Waner has no choice. Now that Cheng Dalei has come back, these things are not too big of a problem.
First send people to Ximen Chunchang, sell the herbs they brought back, and exchange them for a boatload of food to come back for emergency relief. At the same time, don't forget to buy a hundred bolts of flower cloth, which Heiyan has ordered.
After that, Cheng Dalei quickly sent people with tools to Luoyuzhai to repair and strengthen the wooden bridge over the canyon. This bridge will be the main economic pillar of Toad Village in the future.
Today, Cheng Dalei is like throwing five balls with two hands. As long as one ball hits the ground, his plate will be ruined.
When Yun Zhonglong and the others delivered the food, the crisis in front of him was finally over, and Cheng Dalei finally didn't mess up.
The three people brought not only food, but also tea, silk, ironware, porcelain, etc. These were intended to be sent to the grassland for trade. The newly built wooden bridge had allowed large quantities of goods to pass. This time, Cheng Dalei no longer personally
Instead of taking action, he handed it over to... Li Xingzai.
Li Xingzai was curious about everything and wanted to experience leading a caravan. Although he was occasionally a little out of tune, he was still reliable at critical moments. So Cheng Dalei asked him to take Fordler with him.
Everything is on track. As long as we seize the time and upgrade the village to level three when Mo Mingmi wakes up, Cheng Dalei will no longer be afraid of him. By then, who is the owner of this land? Cheng Dalei will find him.
Discuss it carefully.
Cheng Dalei stayed in the village and began to read the news from the restaurant. With the skill of Jianghu Rumors, the information Cheng Dalei received covered the entire empire. Of course, because it was Jianghu rumors, how many of them were true and how many were false still needed Cheng Dalei
Distinguish for yourself.
"A group of barbarian merchants landed in the South China Sea and sold female slaves from foreign lands."
"After the death of the Prairie King, civil strife broke out in the Rong tribe. Many princes began to fight for power. The war has not yet begun. Everyone is sharpening their swords and getting ready to go."
"The Northern Man King died of illness and passed the throne to Jin Dao"
"In the south of the Yangtze River, there is an uprising of the Righteous Sect, with hundreds of thousands of followers. The imperial court has begun to send troops to encircle and suppress the followers of the Righteous Sect."
…
…
Cheng Dalei was tired from reading. As soon as he raised his head, a cup of tea was already placed on the table. Then Yinmu retreated to the corner of the room with his sword on his back without saying a word.
Of course, she couldn't speak either. These days, her silver eyes followed Cheng Dalei like a shadow, always fearing behind Cheng Dalei. At first, Cheng Dalei was a little uncomfortable. Being stared at like this always gave him a creepy feeling. But later,
He got used to it, as long as she didn't exist.
Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea and continued to read the incoming messages. Some of the messages were completely useless and were all spam, but some of the messages revealed everything at a glance. The wind started at the end of Qingping, and some messages that seemed insignificant were actually
There is a big trend brewing.
The Righteous Religion...
Mr. Cheng pulled out the note about the Justice Cult and asked the restaurant to collect more information about the Justice Cult. Cheng Dalei was not surprised by what happened on the grassland. It was nothing more than a power struggle. You kill me and I will kill you.
But the rise of the Righteous Cult forced Cheng Dalei to be cautious.
The empire is riddled with holes and is in danger. Now the rise of a group of heretics with hundreds of thousands of believers will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
It is said that the imperial court has sent soldiers to suppress the bandits, and Su Ying is in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder if they can survive this banditry.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei could no longer stay safely in Toad Village. He decided to go to the south of the Yangtze River to bring Su Ying back.
"Master, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..." Liu Bei and others firmly stopped Cheng Dalei.
"Why am I being impulsive?" Cheng Dalei said speechlessly: "I'm just going alone. Of course Commander Xu must follow me. With the sword in my hand, I can survive any dangers along the way."
"We all know what the big boss is capable of." Liu Bei said: "But the cottage has just started, and there are still strong enemies around. When the big boss leaves, people's hearts will be in chaos."
"I'll go back as soon as I go, and it will only take a month at most."
"Is it possible to send someone else there? Zhang Fei and Zilong can all go. With their abilities, nothing can go wrong."
After all, if you let others go, you won't be able to rest assured. But Liu Bei is right, this village cannot do without him at the moment.
He sat down on the chair dejectedly, and then gave a wry smile, but it turned out that the more people he had, the less and less he could do.
Finally, Cheng Dalei sent Qin Man, Gao Feibao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to Jiangnan, sending four generals at once, which shows that Cheng Dalei attached great importance to this matter.
As for Zhao Zilong, he is absolutely not allowed to go. What if Su Ying is forced to jump into the well?
