On October 17, the caravan of the Heyan family came to Bairensburg again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This was the third time that the caravan of the Heyan family had delivered grain to Byronsburg, and the caravan of the Heyan family was the only caravan that could pass through the trading post and trade with Byronsburg. The envious expressions of the merchants in the trading station gave the guards and men of the Heyan family an inexplicable sense of superiority.

But this time, they didn't dare to show this superiority too obviously. Because this time, there is a heavyweight in the caravan of the Heyan family.

He Yan Zhiliang, the eldest son of the current head of the Heyan family and Yan Ruizhi, and the hottest candidate for the heir of the Heyan family. His prestige in the Heyan family is currently only with his father, and everyone knows that he is not smiling, so everyone does not dare to be too active.

He Yan Zhiliang always rides a horse when he goes out, and always walks in the front. He likes to walk in front not for the sake of showmanship, but simply because the first person in the line is the most vulnerable to outlaws.

His mount was just an ordinary touring horse, all black, which he had bought two years earlier, and the previous one was too old to ride. In October last year, the horse died peacefully in the stables of the Heyan family. He Yan Zhiliang did not hold a funeral for it, but just found a secluded place outside the city and buried it with his own hands.

He Yan Zhiliang did not inform Maier in advance that he was coming. When he was in Liangyuecheng, he met with Meier once, when Meier returned to Liangyuecheng from Bairensburg and entrusted the Heyan family to buy farm tools and women's clothes. Meier left only one impression on He Yan Zhiliang, that is, "This is a good person who can be trusted".

He came to Byronsburg this time to have a good talk with Mel for his father. After all the affiliated villages were built, Byrensburg did not need to import grain from the outside world, but this did not mean that Byrensburg's business with the Heyan family was over. As a newly developed force, the commercial potential of Byrensburg is very large, and the two sides can cooperate in other areas besides the grain business.

Located deep in the mountains, Byrensburg has abundant forest resources, and wood, mushrooms, nuts and other goods can be sold well in Liangyue City. Moreover, Byrensburg is currently not being developed economically, and after development, new specialties may appear in Byrensburg.

Based on the relationship between Maier and Heyan Ruizhi, it is not difficult for Heyan to buy goods from Bairensburg at a low price. But before He Yan Zhiliang set off, He Yan Ruizhi repeatedly warned him that when discussing business, he should never use favors to lower prices.

In Heyan Ruizhi's view, it is very stupid to exchange this favor for economic benefits. As he had expected at the beginning, Liang Yuecheng really failed to trap Maier. It took just over a year for the son of this great man to go from commoner to lord, managing thousands of people, a rate of development that can only be described as a "miracle".

Such a person is definitely not a thing in the pool, if the relationship between the Yan family and Maier is not properly handled, if the Yan family does not meet other nobles in the future, they can only be the head of the public in Liangyue City.

In fact, the mentality of Heyan Ruizhi is exactly the same as when Maier first became a businessman, except that Maier wants to see how far he can go, and Heyan Ruizhi wants to see how far Heyanjia can go.

As the Kazuyan's team passed through the trading post, the Kugi Five recognized Kazuyan Shira at a sight. The man who walked at the front of the caravan changed their fate, and without him, there would be no Kugi Five. So the eyes of the five people looking at He Yan Zhiliang were full of gratitude, and they almost threw themselves over and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

But He Yan Zhiliang didn't recognize them. When he passed in front of the Jiumu Five, he was also surprised how these five people cried when they saw it, which made the Jiumu Five-person group very disappointed. Looking at the back of Yan Zhiliang who was far away, the five of them could only clasp each other's hands as comfort while they were lonely.

After the caravan arrived at Bairensburg, he and Yan Zhiliang asked his deputy to contact Xiaoxiao, who was leading people to receive food at the west gate, and he walked around Bairensburg.

There were a lot of marching tents around the walls of Byronsburg, there were no people in the tents, and there were no people nearby to guard the contents of the tents. He Yan Zhiliang walked around the city wall for a while, and saw a large area of land that had been reclaimed.

There are a lot of people building wooden houses, and most of the people who work there are women. About 500 meters from the site, Mel's men skillfully processed the logs into usable wood, which the maidens and warriors carried to the site and assembled by the men.

Seeing this scene, He Yan Zhiliang believed what the guys said that "there are twice as many women in Bairensburg as men". At the same time, he also sighed: "It's a miracle that Zhiheng can stay here for so long." ”

He Yan Zhiheng was afraid of witches, so he rarely left his residence when he lived in Byronsburg. Even when he went out, he only ran to Meier's house. Although Maier allowed him to enter and leave the council hall, Ling Yu would definitely be there during the meeting, and sometimes Lan Xian would accompany him, so he would definitely not run to that place.

In the vicinity of the construction site, many people are using agricultural tools to turn over the land, and some are digging wells. In the mountains where Byronsburg is located, there are abundant underground water veins, and water can be dug almost casually for three or four meters in the ground. Most of the people digging the wells are also women, and many of them wear shrine maiden costumes.

Farther away, more people are cutting and transporting logs to open fields to dry. He Yan Zhiliang saw Maier's figure from a distance among the loggers, which surprised him.

As the lord of Byronsburg, he actually cut down trees with civilians, which ......

He Yan Zhiliang didn't know what to say about Maier's behavior, so he could only turn around with a complicated countenance to see what was going on in the castle.

Inside the west gate, there were many women and half-grown children weaving baskets with vines, and not far away, some old people sat around a large group of small children. One of the old men was telling a story, and when he got closer to Yan Zhiliang, he found that the old man was telling the story of Maier leading the people to defeat the evil witch in the twenty-ninth village.

In fact, these old people not only tell the story of Maier, they were born in the 29th Village, and they tell more about the legends of the Nami monks and the ancestors of the 29th Village. But the children don't like to hear this kind of story, so the old people can only tell them more exciting battle stories.

There are too few battle stories of Nami Jushi, and her strength is too strong, and she is always killed in seconds against outlaws. This kind of story lacks excitement, and the children don't want to listen to it, so Mel's story is brought out. Of course, in addition to the story of Meier, there is also the story of Yu Changnian and Yu Mingli.

The story of Yu Changnian leading the cavalry to repel the rebels is very popular among children, but the story of Yu Mingli's law enforcement is basically used to scare disobedient children. The stories of the old people made the children very afraid of Yu Mingli, which made Yu Mingli, who always wanted to be close to the children, very depressed.

Sometimes, in order to be lazy, Little Bird will pull Kiki and Xiaoye to come here and let Kiki tell everyone about Myer's heroic deeds. During his time as a bounty hunter, Mel accumulated many battle stories, and the children were eager to hear stories about Mel pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger as a trader, luring outlaws to attack them and then destroy them.

The logistics team was busy today, so the three maids didn't come to tell the children stories. The old man who told the story to the children was the one who personally participated in the defense of the Yu family's mansion, and he also lost his right hand in the battle. He did not personally participate in either of the two battles that Mel fought in the village of Twenty-Nine, so he also heard both stories from others.

Stories that are passed on by word of mouth are easily adulterated, and the stories will become more and more outrageous. In Byronsburg, there are more than a dozen versions of the story of Mel leading his troops to defeat the Witch Maiden, and each version is very different. The version told by the old man is one of the more outrageous ones, and it is also mixed with some unreliable gossip news.

"Lord Maier wasn't originally from the Twenty-Nine Village, but why did he help the Twenty-Nine Village? It all started more than a decade ago. At that time, Lord Yu Changnian and the great theologian Gray? Byron drank tea together, and the two drank so much that they made an agreement. The two made an agreement and said that if one gave birth to a son and the other gave birth to a daughter, the two families would make a marriage contract. ”

"No, Lord Yu Changnian gave birth to Lord Yu Mingli, the great theologian Gray? Byron gave birth to Lord Myer, a boy and a girl, and the two became in-laws. Lord Maier couldn't bear to let his fiancée's hometown be harmed by wicked people, so he united the princesses of the Egus Kingdom and the Xiaohu family, and gathered thousands of troops to ambush in the Nami Castle......"

If this story had been heard by Mel, he would have vomited three liters of blood and fell to the ground. You must know that now the three women have made him very big, if there is one more Yu Mingli, even if the two are just in a relationship in public opinion, he will hit the wall with his head because he can't bear the pressure.

And Yan Zhiliang to Gray? Byron didn't know much about it, but he had heard from his father that there were now two princesses by Mel's side, and that he was still being chased by them. If you add another Yu Ming Rei from the Ira clan, then Maier's side will become very "lively".

It's not easy for Mistress Meyer.

He Yan Zhiliang, who didn't know the truth, sighed softly and shook his head sympathetically.

By the way, after Maier became a lord, the Heyan family only called him "Little Brother Meier" stupidly with Yan Zhiheng, and everyone else called him "Master Meier". However, with Mel's temperament, as long as you get acquainted with him, it doesn't matter what you call him.

Kazuyan didn't finish the story and continued to walk inside the castle. He hadn't gone far and saw hundreds of cauldrons, and many maid-like ancients were busy around the cauldrons. Three maids were among them, and in addition to the maids, there were also housewives who were in charge of cooking.

Although Byrensburg is moving towards a "full pay system", when it comes to land reclamation, a big pot of rice still has to be eaten, after all, efficiency is the most important thing at this time. The security forces and the garrison at the West Gate Trading Post will be fed according to military standards and paid at the same time.

He and Yan Zhiliang walked around the castle, but they didn't see anything famous, so they could only go to the lumberyard to find Maier. When he arrived at the lumber yard, Mel happened to cut down a tree. After the tree fell to the ground, He Yan Zhiliang saw that Maier was heading straight for the next tree, so he quickly ran over and grabbed his clothes.

When Mel saw someone tugging at his arm, he turned his head to see who it was. When he saw He Yan Zhiliang, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Brother Zhiliang? What are you doing here? ”

He Yan Zhiliang's heart warmed when he heard this title, but there was still no expression on his face. He adjusted his emotions, let go of Maier's arm, and apologized solemnly.

"I have come to Byronsburg without invitation, and I hope that Lord Maier will forgive me."

"Hey, what else are we talking about?"

Maier smiled, handed the axe to his subordinates, and then made a "please" gesture to He Yan Zhiliang.

"It's too noisy here, let's go back to the castle and talk."

He Yan Zhiliang bowed slightly to Maier, and then the two walked in the direction of the castle. When walking, He Yan Zhiliang deliberately lagged behind Maier, but Maier didn't like to walk like this, so he stopped and said to He Yan Zhiliang.

"Brother Zhiliang, Mr. Ruizhi has a kindness to me, and Zhiheng is my friend, you don't have to see the outside like this."

When He Yan Zhiliang heard this, he could only walk forward side by side with Meier. As the two of them walked back, Xiaoxiao happened to be heading to the lumberyard to report to Mel about receiving food and payment. Xiaoxiao had never seen He Yan Zhiliang, and felt that this person was blind, but she saw that Maier and this person seemed to have a good relationship, so she smiled politely at him.

"Oh, smile, you're just in time."

Without waiting for Xiaoxiao to report to Meier, Meier introduced He Yanzhiliang to her first. Xiaoxiao heard that He Yan Zhiliang was the son of He Yan Ruizhi and Yan Zhiheng's brother, so he smiled more politely. When Maier was at the Black Shrine, he didn't tell Xiaoxiao about these two people, and as Meier's wife-to-be, Xiaoxiao must have greeted Meier's friend with a smile.

After this, the three of them returned to the castle together and went to Meier's house. Because the three maids were not at home, Xiaoxiao brought two glasses of cold boiled water to the two, and then stood obediently behind Meier.
