"Li Ling, when you go down the mountain this time, you not only have to gather the population, but also buy some materials, quilts, cotton clothes, salt, grain, and ......."

Just as Li Ling was leading people to prepare to go down the mountain, Li Yi commanded.

While talking, Li Yi asked people to take out all the money in their cottage.

In the past few days, Heifeng Village has been building a lot of construction, everyone's labor has increased, and the amount of food has also increased, and in addition, Li Yi's food standards for everyone are relatively high, so the food reserves of Heifeng Village are very seriously consumed.

At the current rate of consumption, it will be a week at most, and it will be gone, and you must plan in advance.

In addition, in the past few days, the population of Heifeng Village has skyrocketed, most of them are refugees, and their warm clothes are also a big problem, their original reserves, compared to so many people, are far from enough, these days, many people's clothes, covers are very thin.

It is imperative to go down the mountain to purchase supplies.

Fifteen taels of silver, and more than twenty-three copper coins.

This is the money that Li Yi gave to Li Ling, and it is also all their funds.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the materials purchased with these silver money are not enough for us to consume for a long time, so let's postpone the matter of collecting the population......" Li Ling's expression flashed with a trace of worry, and he said softly.

In fact, on the issue of material consumption, he mentioned it two days ago.

Even, Li Yi organized a hunt by hand in the past few days, and he also asked to participate.

It's just that Li Yi hasn't allowed it, just asking him not to worry too much.

Now, seeing that Li Yi took out all the money and asked him to buy supplies, he couldn't help but bring up the matter again.

Fifteen taels of silver, twenty-three taels of copper.

It's not much, but it's not a lot either.

Let an ordinary family of five, not production, ordinary consumption, almost enough to spend ten years.

However, there are more than 500 of them here...... Everyone's food consumption is not low, and the materials purchased with these silver dollars are not enough for them to consume in a month.

If, in the past few days, they add a large number of people every day, it is difficult to say whether they can support half a month.

They are mountains...... cough, it is an insurrectionary army, and the relationship with the government is very delicate, and such a small material reserve is simply not enough for them to defend against accidents.

"Don't stop the matter of gathering the population, don't stop yet, don't worry, I know it in my heart, by the way, when you buy materials this time, help me buy two pieces of jade, you don't need to be of good quality, just a few hundred copper coins a piece." Li Yi groaned.

Although the population is increasing rapidly, the pressure on them is very high.

However, Li Yi knew that this was only temporary.

The more pressure there is now, the more they will gain in the future.

As for the source of supplies, he already had a plan in mind.

The power of faith can not only improve people's professional level, but also improve the level of various items.

The primary battle knife he gave Li Ling, before it was upgraded, was not valuable, and in the market, one or two pieces of silver could buy several pairs.

After upgrading to a hundred refining battle knives, it is worth at least a dozen taels of silver.

The power of faith is money!

That's for sure!

However, selling knives is too conspicuous, ordinary kitchen knives are worthless, and knives upgraded with gold fingers already belong to the ranks of high-quality war knives, although they are bandits, and what they usually do is illegal, but they sell items and buy materials, but they have to deal with ordinary legal businessmen, and it is best not to sell weapons!

Moreover, the war knife is a strategic weapon, and maybe, the object of sale now will be their enemy in the future, which is not good!

Jade piece, this is an item chosen by Li Yi!

Gold is priceless, jade is priceless, even in ancient times, good jade is more valuable!

Previously, when the predecessor raised supplies, he used a piece of jade pendant on his body and exchanged it for nine taels of silver!

He wanted to try to upgrade the jade piece to see if he could upgrade it to a jade piece with a relatively high value!

Jade is a special thing, and the same variety of jade is often of poor quality, and the value is very different.

If it is feasible, it is no worse than him upgrading his sword!

"Yes!"

Li Ling received the order, and then led people down the mountain.

Li Yi continued to lead people to build houses.

Because the construction on the mountain has been on the right track, Li Yi is not particularly busy, he just needs to look around, and there is still a lot of time to practice calligraphy.

In the evening, Li Ling brought people back.

Because the refugees near the county seat have been almost collected by them, this point, Li Ling has already told Li Yi that spring is coming, it is the time when there are not many refugees, the county next to them is a prosperous county, but the permanent population of the county town is more than 50,000, and the number of people coming and going every day is more, otherwise, they may not be able to collect so many refugees.

On this day, Li Yi led people to build 26 simple houses, and the original flat land around Heifeng Village was almost full.

In the evening, Li Ling only brought back more than 70 new people.

It's not that Li Ling is not dedicated, and it's not because Li Ling buys materials and delays too much time, but the population that can be brought back has been almost brought back in the past few days.

Li Yi expressed understanding.

To be honest, in the past few days, Li Ling has brought back so many people, which has surprised him very much.

Today, it only brought back more than 70 new people, which also made Li Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

With so many new populations, it takes time to digest.

On the same day, the number of new people decreased, so that their slightly crowded houses these days also became a little more relaxed.

The materials that Li Ling brought back seemed to be a lot.

It also made many people in the cottage very excited.

These days, many people build cottages together and already regard this place as their home.

Li Ling brought back a large amount of supplies, which made them naturally happy.

When Li Yi handed out some cotton clothes and quilts to the thinly dressed people, many people became more excited and bowed down to Li Yi.

"Your Majesty, we came back this time, and we saw other people from the cottage again, I estimate that if we continue like this a few more times, we will have to fight sooner or later, and even, it is not impossible for them to find this place and suddenly attack us......" In the wing, Li Ling said in a low voice.

They are not afraid of small bandits, but there are not only small bandits in this mountain range.

There are too many ordinary people among them, and if they are attacked, they can cause chaos, and even if they repel the enemy, they do not know how much damage they will suffer.

As for...... Why did the bandits attack them?

Very simple! There are a lot of them! But the combat effectiveness is not good!

I believe that in the past few days, those bandits have seen the details of many of them, many of them are refugees from nearby counties, and there are many seriously ill people, old and weak women and children, this kind of team does not have much combat effectiveness...... However, there are so many of them, and the materials they consume every day are not a small number.

They dare to gather such a population, who believes that they do not have many supplies?

A large number of supplies...... The combat effectiveness is not good, I believe, it is difficult for a bandit not to be tempted!

Today, they brought back a lot of supplies for some bandits to see, which is estimated to make them even more excited!

Li Ling told Li Yi about these analyses.
