Chapter 16 Looking to the Future

"You can fight wild beasts. Zhao Jialiang was a little surprised by Yi Xingchen's words, but he didn't ask much, thought about it, and took out a machete with a blade about half a meter long from the warehouse, and said with a smile: "This is a machete I made when I was young, well, it's still good to use it to cut watermelons." ”

Yi Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he took it and took a closer look. The style of this machete is the most in line with his mind among these knives, but the length of the blade is slightly shorter, if it can be lengthened, it should be better, so he said to Zhao Jialiang: "This is good, but I don't know if it can be made longer? It is best to make the blade 80 cm long, and it will be delivered within five days!"

Zhao Jialiang secretly calculated, and then said: "It's no problem to lengthen to 80 centimeters." However, because your delivery time is urgent, plus the manual fee, the wholesale price will have to be 100 yuan a handful. ”

100 yuan for a machete, according to the market price, is indeed a bit expensive. But right now, Yi Xingchen is in a hurry, as long as it's not too outrageous, it's acceptable.

However, Yi Xingchen thought of another question. He roughly estimated that there were not many adults in the Kingdom of the Forgotten Valley, and there were many old people and minors, for the latter, an excessively long blade might be a burden, and the size of the machete should not be a fixed size.

So, Yi Xingchen asked again: "How much is a 50 cm machete? And what is the price of the woodcutter just now? I want a lot of money, you have to give the wholesale price." ”

Zhao Jialiang quickly replied: "A 50-centimeter machete is 60 yuan a piece, and a woodcutter is 40 yuan a piece." ”

"300 80 cm long machetes, 150 50 cm machetes, and 100 wood chopping knives, must be delivered within five days, if I can do it, I will pay a quarter of the payment as a deposit, and on the day of delivery, I will pay the remaining three-quarters. ”

The final word, Yi Xingchen didn't talk much nonsense, and directly confirmed the order. After speaking, he looked at Zhao Jialiang and waited for his answer.

Zhao Jialiang was also very happy, and immediately agreed: "Okay, deal!"

Yi Xingchen saw that Zhao Jialiang had no objection, and directly signed a subscription contract worth 43,000 yuan with him in the office, and paid a quarter of the cash in advance, 10,750 yuan as a deposit.

Yi Xingchen stayed in Shunfeng Hardware Factory for a while, visited the factory's machinery and equipment, and confirmed that Zhao Jialiang had the ability to complete the order on time, so he politely refused Zhao Jialiang's invitation and left the factory.

Back in the city, Yi Xingchen calculated the accounts. Aside from the balance to be paid in the next few days, as well as college tuition and a semester's worth of living, he doesn't have much money left. Yi Xingchen thought about it, and he was ready to take the money and buy more dry food and drinking water for the subjects of the Forgotten Valley before school started, so as to help them tide over the beast tide.

Yi Xingchen didn't have time to buy ceramic wine bottles, so he could only buy a few oak barrels instead, and take them back to Lucas to store the wine.

Then, Yi Xingchen went to some small commodity retail and wholesale markets in Brewing Xiang City to make up for some daily necessities as much as possible, especially those that can be used in the tunnels. Such as flashlights, batteries, quilts, thermoses, oxygen cylinders, etc. The number of these items was not large, and Yi Xingchen had been spending all the unplanned excess money before he stopped purchasing, and placed all the items in a centralized manner, and then sent them to the Valley of Oblivion one by one.

"Hurry up and get everything into the hole. "Sheen is directing everyone to carry the materials that Yi Xingchen has purchased.

And Yi Xingchen stood on the city wall, looking down at the busyness of Sheen and the others, and after a while, he turned around again and looked out of the stockade. Accompanying Yi Xingchen was the person in charge of his safety, Allen, who had just been appointed by Yi Xingchen as his personal guard.

The beast tide was approaching, and he looked at the seemingly calm but fierce environment outside the walled city, and there was an indescribable sense of depression in his heart.

At this time, Yi Xingchen didn't see a single animal, as if there had never been an animal in the Valley of Oblivion. In the face of what he saw in front of him, if it weren't for the devastating destruction of the beast tide that had indeed been encountered here, it would be difficult for people to associate the two together.

"How long do you think it will take until the beast tide erupts?" Yi Xingchen asked Allen, who was standing behind him.

"Returning to His Majesty, the minister thinks that it will be noon tomorrow. Alan replied.

Yi Xingchen sighed, and the closer he got to the beast tide, the more he felt the pressure. It seems that it is really not an easy task to establish a country in the Valley of Oblivion, but you can imagine how much the people here have been suffering to survive.

"After the beast tide, I promise that I will lead all the people to rebuild a fortified city here and establish another country!"

When Alan heard this, he was immediately excited, and even looked a little trembling, and immediately knelt down to Yi Xingchen and said, "Long live the king! God bless me and we will be able to rebuild the kingdom." ”

Yi Xingchen's voice was not only heard by Allen, but also the people on the protective wall, like Allen, knelt down and shouted long live.

Soon, even Sheehan and the others, who were not far away, heard the other people's relays. For a time, the faces of hundreds of people in the entire village were full of hope that they had never seen before.

"Long live the king!" all the people shouted incessantly, and did not stop for a long time. In the cheers of everyone, a strong belief slowly flowed into Yi Xingchen's heart.

Yi Xingchen shouted loudly: "Stand up! ”

When Sheen heard this, he immediately stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Everyone hurry up! The king has an order, each of us must do our best to tide over the beast tide, and then we can establish a country!"

With Sheehan's command, the people who were deeply encouraged immediately accelerated the speed of transportation.

"This is an oxygen cylinder, and it's packed with compressed oxygen. People who feel that they have difficulty breathing can get fresh air through it. This is a flashlight that does not require kerosene to illuminate. I bought two cases of No. 5 batteries, which should be enough for you to use for a long time. This is canned meat, there is a pull hook here, you can eat it if you pull it hard" Yi Xingchen took out various daily necessities, and tried his best to use easy-to-understand words to explain the use and function of these items to the people standing aside.

Sheen stood aside, with a complicated look on his face, and kept looking at Yi Xingchen, as if he wanted to say something. But he still waited until Yi Xingchen finished explaining, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart curiously: "Your Majesty, can we really build a strong wall that is strong enough to block the beast tide?"

"Yes. I'm going to strengthen the walls with a special item that makes them so hard that even thousands of beasts can't break through them. ”

The item Yi Xingchen said was cement. With cement, Yi Xingchen was able to build a strong city wall. With a strong city wall, Yi Xingchen would naturally be able to establish a kingdom in the Valley of Oblivion.

In addition, the harsh environment, changeable climate, unsuitable cultivation and other factors in the Forgotten Valley are enough to stifle the idea of any country occupying this place, and it will naturally become a natural barrier to Yi Xingchen's new country in disguise.
