544 - It's not time yet
After chatting a few more words, Ji Thief took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Okay, let's get busy first, I still have something to do, so I won't bother a few brothers to hunt." โ
All the patriarchs also waved their hands politely: "It's okay, it's okay, warriors, you are busy beforehand." โ
The thief turned around with a smile and motioned for Usma to take him to see the situation at the fortress.
Usma nodded, then turned and led the thief away.
When he came to the northern entrance, the thief was shocked.
I saw that the middle fault was 50 meters wide and there was an extra wall no less than 5 meters high and 1 meter thick.
The walls are all made of clay and stones.
On the wall, there are two wooden doors with a width of about three meters, and on the wall, there is a passage for people to defend and walk on them.
The thief subconsciously walked forward, went up to the wall and looked back and forth, and sighed while looking: "Okay, Usma, how did you come up with the idea of doing this?"
Usma scratched his head and smiled: "Patriarch, have you forgotten, when our tribe built a wall on the hillside before, you told me to use this method, but I just thickened the wall in this place. โ
Ji Thief still sighed: "More than three hundred, a little more than a month to make such a thick wall, Usma, you can do it." โ
Usma sighed: "It's not too difficult, in fact, patriarch, on the surface, you only have these three hundred people to build the wall, but the other four hundred people in the White Bone Wasteland are also helping, these wood and these stones on the wall are all processed by those people." Moreover, with Forrest Gump and his father's help, there has been no trouble or time-wasting incident. โ
Usma praised here, and the thief couldn't help but be stunned, and when he looked back, he saw Forrest Gump standing twenty steps away from the rest of the clansmen, and he didn't dare to cross the slightest.
With a thought, the thief beckoned to Forrest Gump and shouted, "Forrest Gump, come here." โ
Forrest Gump, who was lowering his head and walking forward slowly, paused for a moment, and then quickly ran to the thief and said respectfully, "Patriarch." โ
Ji Thief looked at him up and down, his eyes full of appreciation: "I didn't expect you to do me such a big favor this time." โ
Forrest Gump glanced at Usma, and knew that it was the latter who said good things to him in front of the thief, and he didn't dare to be a little proud at that time, so he hurriedly lowered his head: "This is the patriarch who should be." โ
Ji Thief smiled and patted Forrest Gump's shoulder: "Yes, yes, this is all with Usma's ability to learn to be flamboyant." โ
Usma: "...
"I also learned this from you, the patriarch. โ
Unable to help but mumble in his mouth, Usma said.
"Your father and son are doing a good job this time, Usma, what we said before was how much currency to give everyone in the Bone Wasteland?"
Usma thought for a moment: "At the beginning, it was said that it was ten currencies, and in thirty-two days, each person was three hundred and twenty currencies. โ
Ji Thief nodded, and said to Forrest Gump: "Later, you will go back with me, find a few trustworthy people, and bring back the currency, in addition, I will give you an extra hundred currency each." โ
Forrest Gump looked at the thief in confusion.
I saw it, Ji Thief smiled and said: "This extra 100 currency is to establish prestige for your father and son, when the time comes, you just need to say that you see that everyone is working too hard these days, and you propose to me to add currency, what do you think, what will everyone think of your father and son?"
These days, Forrest Gump has also known the benefits of currency, which is convenient and easy to use.
At the same time, he also understands that currency is not easy to earn, you must know that most of the clansmen of the Lihuo tribe only have 300 coins a month, if he brings back the currency that everyone deserves, and gives them more, then Forrest Gump believes that the prestige of his father and son will immediately be raised.
"Ah, Ah, Forrest Gump understands!"
As soon as he was excited, Forrest Gump couldn't help but stutter when he spoke.
Ji Thief laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "In addition to their currency, I personally give you an extra five hundred for your father and son, which is considered a reward for you." โ
"Thank you, Patriarch. โ
"Okay, you go down first, don't forget to call everyone to get ready, and go back. โ
"Yes, Patriarch. โ
After Forrest Gump left, Usma couldn't help but ask Ji Thief with some doubts: "Patriarch, did you give them a little too much currency this time?"
Ji Thief looked back at him: "Why do you say that?"
Usma scratched his head: "Four hundred coins for one person, seven hundred people, that's twenty, twenty..."
Ji thief said: "Two hundred and eighty thousand currency, didn't I teach you multiplication and division, why did you forget it?"
Usma: "...
"Let's not talk about these patriarchs, we have to give them at least 280,000 yuan, and this month of building the fortress, and taking care of their food, this is still not too much. โ
Looking at Usma, who looked like a miser, the thief smiled: "What? No matter how these currencies are spent, in the end, they will fall into our hands." Moreover, the more currency they have in their hands, the better it will be for us. โ
Usma looked at the thief with a puzzled expression.
Ji Thief said: "Just imagine, thousands of people from the Qingfeng tribe are going south, what kind of scene is that?
"I'm sure I'm going to surrender, I'm sure I can't beat it. โ
Ji Thief nodded: "By the way, it must have surrendered, our own people or allies may not do this, but what about the Bone Wasteland? What about these people who are regarded as mercenaries by us? Will they surrender when they see that the situation is not good? Anyway, where is not to live." But if they hold our currency in their hands, it will be different, this thing, only we can use it here, and other places will not recognize it, if they surrender, it is equivalent to saying that the currency they have saved in their hands has become a waste product, are you willing to exchange it for you?"
Usma nodded, "Yes." โ
The thief stared at Usma.
Usma hurriedly said: "It's not the patriarch, my 1,000 coins per month will only come to me for about 200, and the rest will be all for you to take away, and you won't be able to save it at all." โ
"Hey, what do young people want so much currency for, I'll save it for you. โ
The thief was about to get angry, but when he heard Usma's words, he immediately lost his anger, and hurriedly smiled and said.
Usma: "...
"Speaking of the patriarch, when are you going to tell you about the Qingfeng tribe?"
As she walked, Usma suddenly asked.
The thief, who was walking, stopped and looked up at the sky: "It's not the time yet, at least, we have to wait for a while longer, and wait until the wheat we planted is ripe." โ
"Why the patriarch?"
"Now that I have said it, I am afraid that when the tribesmen are in a panic, they will have no intention of working, and when the time comes, the wheat left on the ground will be fed to the birds. After harvesting the wheat and preparing enough food, it is a good time to tell the truth of the matter. โ
Usma looked straight at the thief.
Ji Thief looked at Usma and said: "Dealing with the Qingfeng tribe, it is not a simple matter, they are so numerous, we are likely to spend a lot of time dealing with them, this process may be very long, if we don't prepare all the food, how can we fight with them?
"Isn't it?" Usma was surprised.
Ji Thief nodded: "If the number is small, it may be that the side will win depending on which side is brave, but if the number is large, it will be the logistics." โ
Usma lowered her head, looking thoughtful.
"Okay, don't be foolish, I haven't seen your Ayin for more than a month, it's itchy in my heart, let's go, let's go back, and let you two get together." โ
Usma pointed to the fortress under his feet: "What about this place?"
"Let the hunter stay here with the people first, then again, what about the hunter? Why don't you see him. โ
Usma also wondered: "It was still there before." โ
As he spoke, the two of them looked down.
At this time, Chou, one of the twelve dead soldiers, took a step forward and said, "That patriarch, Ka-sama and Tushan-sama are fighting below." โ
Ji Thief: "ยทยทยท"
Usma: "...
Quickly went down the fortress to search, and as the ugly said, these two were not fighting.
One is holding two knives, and the other is holding a double hammer to fight in one place, saying that the opponent's weapons are ugly while fighting back.
The thief was speechless, and when he saw this, he said, "Patriarch, why don't I call them?"
