The meeting turned from the issue of copycat production to discussing future military strategy.
The future of the empire will definitely be a mess. But because of the barrier of Liangzhou City, there is no need to worry about who will attack Toad City at the moment.
But Toad City... was the former Qinchuan Pass, located at the border between the empire and the Rong people. It was the only place where the Rong people invaded the empire. The original purpose of Qinchuan Pass was to defend against the invasion of the Rong people and protect Liangzhou.
land.
If the Rong tribe comes to attack, how should everyone respond?
"What's the current situation with the Rong tribe?" Cheng Dalei asked He Shen.
During the time when everyone went to Bingzhou to do things, Heshen managed all matters in the village, including production, life, military and intelligence work.
He cleared his throat and stood up, saying: "We have always had a good relationship with several nearby Rong tribes, and we have exchanges of goods with each other. Because we sold the grain, salt, iron, cloth and other items in the past, their lives were pretty good.
Go down. However, the life of other Rong tribes is a bit miserable. The tribes are fighting each other, and some of the defeated soldiers of the empire have fled to the grasslands, burning, killing and looting to make a living on the grasslands. Now the war has a tendency to spread to nearby areas."
"Master, I also got a piece of information." Ah Xi said.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"The information we heard was on the way back from the grassland. It is said that a new force is rising on the grassland. The leader is named Nohara Huo. Although he has only appeared for a short time, his followers gathered many people and plundered many Rong tribes.
"
"Ye Yuan Fire?" Cheng Dalei muttered these three words. He vaguely remembered where he had heard it, but couldn't remember it for a moment. He waved his hand and said: "The more chaotic the Rong people are, the better, so that they don't
It’s time to harass us. However, we must be wary of any thieves coming to take advantage of us. As for Nohara Huo, we must continue to pay attention to him. If you have any information about him, pass it to me as soon as possible.”
"Yes." Ah Xijing agreed.
This meeting lasted for a long time from beginning to end. Through this meeting, the future development strategy of Shanzhai was basically finalized. The first was to develop production, including planting, breeding and the production of daily necessities; the second was to strengthen the military.
Expand troops, strengthen training, and prepare for possible battles in the future.
During the period when Cheng Dalei left, the village was managed by He Shen. He Shen did a good job and the village has been developing in an orderly manner.
After that meeting, Shanzhai immediately launched a vigorous production campaign. It reclaimed wasteland and planted rice, wheat, soybeans, sorghum and other crops. The soil in Liangzhou is very fertile, but because of the years of war, the land is vast and the population is
dilute.
Cheng Dalei personally took charge of this matter and led his men to reclaim wasteland. He was not good at clearing wasteland and farming. But Cheng Dalei had a lot of strength. When it came to farming, as long as he had enough strength, he couldn't make any big mistakes.
Cheng Dalei just took the lead and boosted everyone's morale. No matter how much he said, he was still the master of Qinchuan, so he didn't need to work in the fields every day.
In the afternoon of this day, Cheng Dalei came back from outside the city. He had just washed off the sweat on his body at the city lord's mansion. Before he could even have a chance to chat with Su Ying, He Shen rushed over to report the matter.
"Master, now the village is clearing up wasteland, including the five teams in the village. However, with such a large area of cultivation, there is an urgent need for livestock, plows, hoes and other tools. We are in short supply of these in the village now."
"Just let the craftsman get some of the necessary tools. As for the livestock that go to the fields, don't the Long Ziqi have war horses? Can't they go to work in the fields?" Cheng Dalei was a little impatient, and He Shen couldn't handle such a small matter well.
"That's why I came to see the big boss. The big boss didn't know something. Long Ziqi values their horses more than their wives. Of course, most of them don't have wives. I went to see General Zhao, and General Zhao almost missed it.
Big mouth slaps me, but I can't control this matter."
"Oh..." Cheng Dalei suddenly realized that it turned out that He Shen was here to complain. He comforted him: "Master He, you understand, they work with their heads in their belts, and it's normal to have a bad temper.
After all, you are a civilian official."
"What about the livestock?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. We all have a clever idea. There will definitely be the livestock you need before dark."
After the cottage is upgraded to a city, horses can be exchanged from the system store. Every 200,000 fear points can be exchanged for a black-maned horse. Cheng Dalei took a trip to Bingzhou, killing people like mowing grass, and harvested a wave of fear points.
, now, he can be considered a wealthy person.
After He Shen left, Cheng Dalei began to exchange horses through the system store. He exchanged for a thousand horses in a row. He probably felt that the number was enough, and he had to save some fear points for other uses.
The monk left the city lord's mansion, still a little depressed in his heart. The master said it was easy, but he didn't tell himself what he had in mind. There is nothing so easy in the world, do you really think he is a disciple of an immortal?
I looked at the sun and saw that it was getting dark not far away. I should have known that sometimes the words of the boss were not reliable.
At this time, He Shen suddenly saw everyone running towards the city gate, and one person almost bumped into him. He grabbed the person's shoulder and asked:
"What happened?"
"Horses, there are a lot of horses coming." The man's expression was a little excited.
He Shen was startled and followed the crowd to the city gate. He climbed to the top of the city. Qin Man, Zhao Zilong and others had already arrived. Everyone looked at the distance and saw a group of horses running towards them from nowhere.
The uniform black color, like black flags, made the whole earth shake.
He Shen was stunned. He rubbed his eyes to confirm that this was not his hallucination. These black horses came running, but they did not rush into the crowd. They just gathered under the city gate. Some people were bold enough to touch their manes, and they also
It's just a snort.
He Shen remembered what Cheng Dalei said, his ears buzzed, and he exclaimed in his heart: "The master is really a disciple of the immortal."
He raised his eyes and looked at the west. The sun was just a little tilted, and it was not dark yet.
Qin Man noticed something strange about him and felt He Shen standing there, shivering all over, with layers of cold sweat on the back of his neck.
"Master He, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Qin Man pulled him.
"Nothing, nothing."
He Shen woke up from a dream, shook his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Send someone quickly to bring these horses to the city. They are all gifts from the immortals."
Through this incident, He Shen was convinced of Cheng Dalei and would not dare to have second thoughts in this life.
