While accompanying the craftsmen to build the model of the gantry crane, Xu Yi muttered in his mouth, mainly greetings, greeting those people and things that let their plans fall through.

What a good plan, and the future is bright. Just a fief in Qinzhou, and he was thrown into the pit directly.

It's too pitiful, it's self-pitting.

Xu Yi did not doubt that the matter of building a ferry could be brought down from the imperial court, and it was himself······ Alas, it was kind of a service in vain.

The idea of the ferry port still has to be completed, and the model of the gantry crane has to be made, and the tracks, portable loading and unloading trucks, etc., have to be made.

Even, Xu Yi also needed to go to the field to measure and make the sand table of the entire ferry······ It's a big loss.

Don't expect those big families to be merciful, don't think that they will respect the value of knowledge, and if you can leave soup for yourself, Xu Yi will be grateful.

Hide behind and count the money, so cheap?

Xu Qing didn't understand, but when Xu Yi said it, he understood, and he muttered, not daring to really open his mouth to scold his mother.

In addition to feeling that Xu Yi was unhappy, Yingniang also listened to Xu Yi explain the reason, but she still didn't understand, but this time she didn't say who to kill.

Then Zhao Zhonghan knew.

With four or five people, he blocked Xu Yi in the study with a solemn face.

"Lord, we have land!"

It takes a lot of determination to get a group of people who depend on land above their lives to say that they want to give up their land.

In Zhao Zhonghan's opinion, the general was humiliated by the left-behind family, and he wanted to give them this breath······

Xu Yi was a little embarrassed, calculating Zhao Zhonghan and them, not only did he not have a sense of accomplishment, but also a sense of guilt.

It's not good, it's really not a good taste.

How could Xu Yi not know that this group of people had land? They are all natives of the Eastern Capital, the ancestors of Luoyang, the former government soldiers, and the original Yin Shi family, how can they not cultivate the fields?

There is a helplessness, Xu Yi doesn't want to calculate them. The problem is that this matter has already begun, Xu Yi can't retract it, and he is unwilling to throw away the huge benefits like this.

Although in Xu Yi's heart, he really didn't look down on the income from that bit of land, just like he never cared about how many fiefs he had.

But Xu Yi also understands the obsession of people in this era with the land.

"Lao Zhao, don't say that there is nothing here, you won't know what the tidal flat is like, the key is, I didn't bring those lands to farm!"

"Lord, don't say anything, if you recognize us old brothers, you will exchange our land. Just give us what the Lord gives us to stutter! ”

Xu Yi really needs those places on the tidal flats, see Zhao Zhonghan insisted······ In fact, I didn't insist much, but I was a little more resolute.

Xu Yi didn't want to be hypocritical: "Lao Zhao, it's decided, as long as I, Xu Yi, have a mouthful of meat to eat, I will never let everyone drink soup with me." There is meat to eat together, there is soup to drink, even if it is to nibble on the last piece of cooking cake, then everyone will come in turn! ”

I don't believe it yet, as a person with a brilliant mind······ Well, I have the advantage of the knowledge of later generations, and I have always boasted of being smart, even if it is.

Xu Yi believes that he cannot be so depressed that he cannot afford to feed dozens of people.

Not to mention anything else, with the industry that has been launched now, it is more than enough to feed 180 people.

Golden wheat stuffing, briquette stoves, horse-drawn carriages, and then yak jerky and port industry······ This is a large group company with multi-industry development, and is it still worried about feeding Zhao Zhonghan and them?

Done!

"General, we are willing to be the retainers of the Xu family, and we will not regret it until we die!"

Zhao Zhonghan, Wei Changtian, Yuan Xinhui, Lu Qingshan, and Wu Yinhu were all saved by Xu Yi himself.

There is no need to doubt loyalty, this moment of silence is just because Xu Yi is a little excited.

"Are you really willing to be my Xu Yi's retainer?"

"General, we are willing, and we will not regret it until we die!"

"Good!"

O retainers! The Maison's emblem. I didn't expect me Xu Yi to have such a day.

For the retainers, Xu Yi still knows that this is the existence of living and dying with the main family, and it is a share of honor and disgrace.

Just like Yingniang's master family, they have guarded the Xu family for generations.

If the door is destroyed, the retainers will be together. Even if it is the opposite of Dasheng, the retainers have no choice...... Of course, Xu Yi is not looking for that kind of death.

Xu Yi was anxious to find a knife...... He remembered that it was written in the novel that accepting retainers was to make a blood alliance.

This is quite a holy thing.

Although Xu Yi suffered from the beatings of later generations, he still believed in the beliefs of people at this time.

Xu Qing came in with a knife...... This dog day is really ruthless, holding Yingniang's short sword.

When Xu Yi and Zhao Zhonghan melted their blood, Xu Yi felt a little connected by blood and became closer.

"Head of ......"

"Pick an auspicious day for the zodiac and move into the house."

They are all retainers, that is, a family, and they can no longer divide each other, their land is their own land, and their own money is their money.

To a certain extent, their status in the mansion is not lighter than Xu Qing, and even comparable to his wife.

Although Xu Yi may not think so, in this era, it is so.

This time, Xu Yi didn't suture the wound, just bandaged it casually, and waited for the crack to heal on its own.

It's glory, it's a symbol of awesomeness.

In fact, they all play with knives, who doesn't know how to go under the knife?

Yingniang seemed to be very familiar with this, and waited until the ceremony was over, and even waited for Xu Yi to explain to Zhao Zhonghan before entering the door of the study.

Xu Qing took Zhao Zhonghan and the five of them to arrange a residence. They are all dragged with their families and need to be placed with all their hearts.

"If they have a different heart, I will destroy their whole house."

Yingniang is still so direct.

"Yingniang, they will all be their own people in the future, and you have already said that they are my people."

can accept these people as retainers, and there is still basic trust.

Zhao Zhonghan is not the kind of person who has no score, and the reason why he only brought five people today is that he was also selected and chosen.

I'm afraid that before they came, or when they decided to contribute the land, they decided to be vassals of the Xu family.

This decision is not easy, which means that everything is based on the interests of the Xu family, and it is no longer a separate portal.

"Master said that when the eldest son of the family rebelled, there were many retainers in it."

I haven't heard of this Xu Yi, and he Xu Yi is not Xu Jingye's stupidity.

"Don't worry, I've got the bottom. If you really have different intentions, don't be reckless, discuss with me. ”

Xu Yi was not firm when Yingniang said it.

Or, the right to supervise was given to Yingniang, she belongs to the real love and hate, and she rarely gets involved in secular entanglements.

It's nice to have such a person watching, including looking at himself.

The point is that she was brought out by a master who gave her life to loyalty.

Xu Yi didn't want to make a fuss about this, so he wanted to wait for the scar on his wrist to heal before going out.

But the old man Cui sent someone to ......

The blending is almost done, but Cui Sheng is a little bottomless.

A tidal flat that has been killed by generations of water conservancy masters, and several generations have denied that it can be built at the ferry, why is his brain hot, believing that Xu Yi's little brat?

The deeper the matter progressed, the more uneasy Cui Sheng became.

This is no longer the business of his Cui family, so he must find Xu Yi's kid to correct it.

"Uncle Weng, this thing is called a gantry crane, which can easily move thousands of pounds of heavy objects with a pulley without having to land on the ground......"

"This is a track, this is a loading and unloading truck, which does not require manpower to carry and move, or requires very little manpower, and the efficiency is comparable to that of multi-person handling......"

Xu Yi took the model and explained it to Cui Sheng in detail...... After talking for a long time, Cui Sheng didn't understand at all.

He is a scholar, and he has never seen a dock coolie doing work, so can he understand?

However, he saw the scar on Xu Yi's wrist.

"Recognizing a retainer?"

"Hmm."

"Yes, it's the sprout of a family."

This evaluation turned out to be just an embryonic one.

The sprout will sprout, and we will not compare with your thousand-year-old family.
