The yard was small, with only one house, which was very different from the cleanliness and elegance of the other buildings of the Chen family, which was in tatters and covered with dust.

Chen Ping just stood in front of the courtyard and didn't go in, Li Xin'an also stood beside him and looked at the courtyard, except for the decline and dilapidation, he didn't see anything special, but Chen Ping's eyes were full of nostalgia at this time.

He whispered, "I lived here as a child, was born here, and grew up here.

My mother was an outcast, and because of her beauty, Chen Ze took a fancy to her, and he imprisoned my mother in a house on the plantation and became a tool for him to vent his desires.

Later, when my mother became pregnant and gave birth to me, he took us back to the Chen family and threw us into this courtyard, regardless of it, and only came here when the desire arose.

Chen Ze's wife is a vicious and jealous woman, and since then she has been insulting and scolding my mother, and has caused the entire Chen family to target my mother.

When Chen Ze lost interest in my mother and never came again, the vicious woman became even more violent, treating our mother and son like dogs.

For as long as I can remember, my mother and I have been constantly abused and beaten by the people around us, but my mother always protected me with her thin body.

At that time, I felt that there was all malice around me, and that it was a mistake for me to come into this world. But in the dead of night, she would always tell me that it was not my fault, it was her fault, that she was a lowly outcast, and that I was a noble person, a real man, and that I should stand up to the sky and achieve a career.

I don't know why, but I feel bad every now and then.

I want to tell my mother that she is the best person, that she has nothing wrong and that she is also a very good person.

But I didn't say anything at that time.

Then one day, Chen Ze's younger brother, Chen Yan, who was drunk before, came to our yard by chance, saw my mother for a long time, talked with her for a while and left.

Since that time, he has come almost every day, and each time he stays with my mother for a long, long time.

And I always bring some good food, beautiful clothes, fun toys, and my favorite is a small dagger, which is pale yellow all over and inlaid with a red gem.

He would also tell me stories and teach me some swordsmanship and fun games.

I liked him at the time, and it was the best time of my childhood.

Until one day, he told my mother that he was going to take us away and take us out of here, and she was very happy, and that was the only time I ever saw her smile.

But he said he was going to go back and pack his things and let me and my mother wait a while.

The mother agreed, stayed in the house and happily packed her belongings.

After cleaning up, he told me about the outside of Frost City, saying that there were high mountain peaks, palm-sized snowflakes, and small animals everywhere......

Until late at night until I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, he didn't come, and my mother comforted me and told me that he wouldn't leave us, but that something was delayed.

But we waited from morning to evening and he still didn't come.

We waited for a long, long time, but in the end it was Chen Ze with a blank face, who forced my mother to take a pill and left.

My mother was in great pain after eating the pill, and she rolled on the ground, wailing incessantly, and picking at her body with her fingers until it was bloody, and begged me to kill her.

I poked my mother's chest with the dagger that Chen Yan had given me, and the blood kept pouring out, and I was scared.

But my mother, on the contrary, calmed down and just kept saying to me, get out of here, get out of here, and repeat this sentence until she died.

I sneaked into a dung truck and left the city, going out of town.

Haha, I have been pressing these things in my heart for more than ten years, and it is much more comfortable to say it, thank you for listening to me say so much. ”

Li Xin'an was silent for a long time and asked, "Did you see Chen Ze's wife today?"

Chen Ping smiled miserably and said: "She is dead, she was poisoned by the undercover agents I later planted in the Chen family, but unfortunately, I should have left her to torture slowly." ”

Li Xin'an then asked, "Don't you go into the courtyard to have a look?"

Chen Ping replied, "No, I don't think my mother will want me to step into this place again, you can help me burn it." ”

"Good. ”

Li Xin'an didn't ask much, and condensed a flame bomb in his hand and threw it on the dilapidated house, which suddenly burst into flames.

Li Xin'an took out the Zhongzhou wine he bought before from Mo Xue, took a sip and handed it to Chen Ping, Chen Ping picked it up and poured it several times, the two did not speak, just quietly watched the burning fire.

As the fire became more and more intense, the energy around Chen Ping fluctuated violently, and one by one wind scrolls appeared out of thin air around him, constantly absorbing the aura between heaven and earth and pouring into his body, the wind scrolls merged with each other, turning into a small tornado around him, blowing his clothes to the sound of hunting, Li Xin'an was a little unsteady on his feet, and hurriedly moved away from Chen Ping.

And Chen Ping had already closed his eyes at this time, falling into a mysterious realm, the tornado lasted for a while before disappearing, Chen Ping slowly opened his eyes, and the essence was revealed.

At this time, Chen Ping's aura was already much stronger, and his temperament was even more mysterious.

Li Xin'an asked in surprise, "Have you broken through to a fourth-level transcendent?"

Chen Ping smiled and nodded: "Yes, the knot that has suppressed me for a long time is untied, and it naturally breaks through." ”

Li Xin'an said with a smile:

"Congratulations, congratulations, you may be the youngest Level 4 Transcendent in Frost City. ”

Chen Ping looked to be only in his twenties, and he could indeed be said to be the youngest fourth-level transcendent in Condensing Frost City.

Chen Ping smiled and was about to speak.

Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers were hurrying over, still holding buckets in their hands, and they were immediately relieved when they saw Li Xin'an and Chen Ping.

Chen Ping asked, "What's wrong?"

A quick-witted warrior replied, "We saw that there was a fire here, and we feared for the safety of the adults, so we rushed here." ”

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Haha, it's okay. How's your search? ”

The soldier replied, "Report, some members of the Chen family ran out of nowhere, and there were some small battles, but the casualties were not large.

In addition, dozens of hidden cowards were found from some hidden places, and at your orders, all over the age of 18 were killed, and all the following were imprisoned.

We also found the Chen family's granary and warehouse, which contained a lot of grain, enough for us to eat for several years.

There were many treasures in the warehouse, and I was worried that someone would steal them, so I found a few transcendent adults to guard it there, sealed the warehouse, and waited for the adults to check it. ”

"This man is capable of doing things and talking, and he is a talent. ”

Li Xin'an thought to himself.

Chen Ping opened his mouth and praised: "Well done, what's your name?"

The man was obviously flattered, and said, "Thank you, Lord for the compliment, the people in the gathering place call me Xiao Hei, and I am from the gathering place of Silver Valley." ”

Chen Ping smiled: "Haha, it's a pity that I didn't find your talent earlier, take me to the warehouse to have a look." ”

"Okay, two adults, please come with me. ”

The warrior turned around and walked away, and Chen Ping and Li Xin'an followed him to the warehouse he had mentioned.

This is a separate courtyard in the courtyard of the Chen family's house, surrounded by many watchtowers and arrow towers and other buildings, which shows that the defense is usually very tight, but at this time, there is no one standing guard here except for some corpses.

Only eight huge buildings remain, three cuboid and five cylindrical buildings in the courtyard.

Xiao Hei introduced in detail: "The three rectangular buildings are warehouses, which contain many gold, silver, jewelry, and bags.

The five cylindrical buildings were granaries filled with different kinds of grain. ”

Li Xin'an and Chen Ping walked to one of the cylindrical buildings, after all, compared to gold, silver and jewelry, food is now the most important.

The building was sealed throughout, with a spiraling staircase on the perimeter, and the two of them walked up the staircase until they were about halfway up to a door.

After opening, a humid and warm air flow came to the face, mixed with the aroma of grain.

The two of them looked down, and saw a dense pile of grain under their feet, full of grains and moist in color, obviously of extremely high quality, much better than what they usually eat.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This grain storage building is huge, there is a deep part of the ground, and the amount of food stored is huge, with this food can solve the food problem of the rebels, and at the same time, it can also meet the requirements of the caravan, and also have the ability to accommodate the residents of Frost City who have been affected by the war.

After coming out of the granary, the two came to the rectangular warehouse, where a group of rebel soldiers were crowded, trying to take a closer look at the warehouse.

Xiao Hei shouted loudly at this time: "What are you doing, get out of the way, the two adults are here." ”

The rebel fighters heard the shouting and hurriedly stood on either side, leaving a path.

Li Xin'an and Chen Ping walked to the door of the warehouse, only to see that the door made of stainless steel in the warehouse had been smashed open at this time, and there were several extraordinary people guarding the door with a strong breath, these were Chen Ping's original subordinates.

Wealth touches people's hearts.

If it weren't for them, these rebel fighters would have gone in and scrambled.

Li Xin'an and Chen Ping praised these transcendents for a while, and walked into the warehouse to check.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a hill of gold coins and jewelry, but both of them knew that although these gold and silver jewelry were precious, they were not the most important thing in the Chen family.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and some refining materials such as ores, plants, and animal parts of different forms appeared, and some spiritual power fluctuations were very obvious, and they might be refining materials above level four.

Then, a number of weapons appeared, which did not look like mortals.

At the end, some imperial tools that were much stronger than the Red Fire Sword appeared, but the two of them did not take anything.

According to the contract, these items need to be distributed after consultation with the caravan.

The two of them left the warehouse and went to the warehouse next to it.

This warehouse contains precious medicines, which are packed in boxes and placed on shelves on both sides.

It is densely packed and placed in different areas according to its medicinal properties and value, in addition to many finished pills and alchemy furnaces.

Leaving the warehouse where the medicinal herbs were kept, the two of them went to the last warehouse.

This warehouse is like a large library, which is full of books, paintings, sculptures and other things with a deep cultural atmosphere, and some precious information record items have appeared in the depths of the warehouse, and Li Xin'an even saw a few jade plaques.

After walking out of the warehouse, Li Xin'an stood at the door and took a breath of fresh air and couldn't help but sigh: "The Chen family is really profound, and the only way to grab a big family is to really make a fortune." ”

Chen Ping smiled: "Haha, these things belong to all the residents of Frost City. ”

Li Xin'an smiled and said: "The idea is very good, I support it, I think the captain will also support you, but have you figured out how to divide it?"

How to distribute social wealth has always been a difficult problem that plagues human development, and it has not been completely solved even in the highly economically and culturally developed earth, let alone this backward world.

Although Chen Ping has the world in mind and wants to make everyone equal, Li Xin'an thinks that he can't come up with a good way by himself.

Chen Ping hadn't thought about this question, and after pondering for a long time, he frowned and said, "I want to divide the gold coins equally among everyone, but other things are a little difficult, after all, ordinary people don't need pills and imperial tools." ”

Li Xin'an smiled and said, "I have some ideas, do you want to hear them." ”

In fact, he wanted to tell Chen Ping about the wealth distribution method adopted by Huaxia and try it out in this frost city.

Chen Ping said with interest: "Say it quickly, say it quickly." ”

Li Xin'an thought back on the knowledge he had learned, the perception of playing strategy games, and the information he got from mixing the stickers, and summed up his mouth and said:

"My idea is to distribute according to work, according to need.

These riches seem to be a lot, but in fact, they are not much to be distributed to each person, at most a dozen gold coins, but they are still quickly spent, and after they are spent, they are still the same as before, and nothing has changed.

Instead of that, it would be better to use the money to do things that would benefit the residents of Frost City, such as building schools, creating jobs, and building a medical center......

Let every child in Frost City have a school, let every sick person have a place to see a doctor, and let every resident of Frost City use their hands to earn enough wealth to support their families. ”

Chen Ping listened with relish, although he didn't know what school and employment were, it didn't affect his understanding of Li Xin'an's meaning, but he felt that this method could better promote the development of Frost City and was a correct route.

And faintly, Chen Ping realized a more high-end idea, not only limited to wealth distribution, but also more things, but he couldn't say it.

When Li Xin'an stopped talking, Chen Ping said anxiously: "Why did you stop, and continue." ”

Li Xin'an's mouth was dry, and he pouted and said: "There are many things that need to be said, let's talk about it later, now we have to get down to business, go and see how the captain is." ”

Chen Ping was completely different from his previous steady appearance at this time, and he lost his temper like a child: "No, say it quickly, I still want to hear it." ”

Li Xin'an was a little helpless, so he could only say: "Let's talk about it when the matter is settled, and now let's get down to business." ”

Chen Ping still wanted to entangle, but a majestic voice interrupted him.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm late again, nothing happened. ”

The two turned their heads to look, only to see Tie Lei Mountain rushing over at this time.
