Chapter 51: Mountain People
Yang Bai and the two members used Zhao Qufei as a bridge, and after a few rounds of back and forth exchanges, they reached an agreement, this Chen Er can't stay!
The two sides also quickly finalized a general strategy for dealing with Chen Er.
Bai Yuanwai recognized Yang Yuanwai's plan to deceive Chen Er out of Zhuangzi and make a move in the wilderness, after all, in any art of war, attacking the city is the next strategy, and it is more cost-effective to trick Chen Er into fighting in the wilderness than to attack Chen's shop.
On the one hand, in this era, the generals Zhuang Ding in the hands of Hao Qiang are all the capital to settle down, in case this Chen Er's thunder method is powerful and hurts the vitality of the two families, then even if Chen Er doesn't come to clean them up, other forces will pounce on Dong Zhuangzi who is unable to protect himself like a shark who asks about the smell of blood.
In addition, the two members were also afraid that Chen Er's thunder method was powerful, so they directly tore their faces, in case they didn't die by beating the snake, let Chen Er sneak back to Zhuangzi and give them one thunder ......
Therefore, they unanimously agreed that they should find some outsiders to do this, on the one hand, to test how powerful Chen Erleifa is, and on the other hand, to avoid directly tearing their faces, if the matter fails, they can also push three, two, five, so as not to test the thunder.
As a result, Chen Xian soon received a message from Bai Yuanwai through Bai Anfu that if he could dedicate the forging method of the Tang Dao to the Bai family, then Bai Yuanwai could send someone to Yang Yuanwai to help him repair the new Zhuangzi.
Although Chen Xian smelled the smell of conspiracy from this news.
Chen Xian tentatively passed Bai Yuanwai's meaning to Yang Yuanwai's ears through Steward Yang, wanting to see Yang Yuanwai's reaction.
To his surprise, Yang Yuanwai did not object to the Bai family's participation in the construction of the new Zhuangzi.
This news made Chen Xian's heart sink slightly, it seems that the Yang and Bai families actually have the intention of joining forces to deal with themselves!
However, Chen Xian is not surprised, after all, the rifle, a thing that is beyond the times, must have a great shock to the people of this era, and it is not an accident that the Yang and Bai families are frightened to huddle together to keep warm and join forces to deal with him.
After the temptation understood, Chen Xian agreed to the Bai family's request.
In any case, with the participation of the Bai family, under Chen Xian's suggestion of multi-point simultaneous construction, the construction speed of Zhuangzi can be greatly improved again.
……
By the end of October, with the simultaneous efforts of hundreds of people, the main body of Chen Xian's new Zhuangzi had been completed for the most part, and the adobe of the four rows of houses had been basically erected.
Among these adobe walls, the walls facing the inside of the Zhuangzi are ordinary earthen walls more than a foot thick, but the one facing the outside of the Zhuangzi is a three-foot thick wall.
With the progress of the new Zhuangzi project, the Yang and Bai families also acted secretly.
In the mountains around Yiyuan, there are many hunters who live by hunting.
Just like the territory of carnivores, the hunters in the mountains live more scattered, and even if they form villages, they are only small settlements of seven or eight households, because there are too many people, and it is difficult for prey in one area to feed.
These hunters live in the deep mountains and old forests, fighting with the sky, the earth, and sometimes with bandits and bandits, all of whom are not good at stubble.
On the way to Dongzhuangzi that year, Zhao Qufei was robbed by several hunters and was scared out of a big ugly place.
Although hunters live by hunting, they cannot only eat meat, and if they eat only meat, it will be difficult for even the best hunters to feed themselves.
In fact, hunters survived by hunting wild beasts and exchanging their meat and fur for some grain and cloth from the Zhuangzi at the bottom of the mountain, as well as some essential daily necessities.
A considerable part of the mountain goods in the shops of the Bai family and the Yang family in Dongzhuangzi come from trading with Orion.
In exchange for the mountain goods in the hands of the Orion mountain people, the Bai family and the Yang family opened a market in the south and north of Zhuangzi respectively.
On this day, the white staff called the seven stewards of the house.
The seven stewards of the Bai family are the stewards who are specifically responsible for the Bai family.
The reason why this steward is called the seventh steward does not mean that he is the seventh steward.
The seven stewards are the members of the family outside the white staff, ranking seventh among the brothers of the same generation, often called the white seven, and after being the steward, people are often called the seven stewards.
In fact, the Seven Stewards are the second stewards in the Bai family's firm.
The seventh steward came to Bai Yuanwai's study, and Bai Yuanwai instructed him, "You go and contact some hunters in the mountains, and say that the Bai family has a big business to give them, if the matter is successful, each person will have two stones of grain and one piece of cloth, but if there are dead and wounded, the reward will be doubled, and the leader will give ten stones of grain and five pieces of cloth......
The Seventh Steward quickly made contact with several prestigious veterans among the Orions.
Two stones of grain and a piece of cloth are a lot of wealth for the poor mountain hunters, and several old bosses heard that they were just ambushing the owner of a blacksmith shop, so they all agreed, and through these old bosses, the Bai family soon contacted more than sixty hunters.
The Yang family was doing the same thing, and they quickly contacted sixty or seventy hunters who were in constant contact.
The Yang and Bai families gathered more than 100 mountain hunters in the mountains and forests northwest of Zhuangzi, which was only more than two miles away from the road between New Zhuangzi and East Zhuangzi, and as long as they received the news in time, they could easily intercept the road between New Zhuangzi and East Zhuangzi.
Under the pretext of doing business, the caravans of the two poplars successively sent a large amount of supplies to the camp where the hunters were hiding, and let them wait quietly for their opportunity.
In Zhuangzi, the two families of Baiyang stared at the Chen family shop again, and as long as Chen Xian showed signs of going to the new Zhuangzi, he would immediately send the news to the hunter camp.
But this wait was more than half a month, and I didn't see Chen Xian leave the blacksmith shop half a step.
After waiting for a day, they lost a day's harvest, and if they waited for ten days or eight days, as long as the trade was completed, two stones of grain and a piece of cloth were enough to make up for it, but if they waited too long, even if the business was completed, the gains outweighed the losses.
Hearing that the hunters were clamoring to leave, the two families had to increase their remuneration and pay a part in advance, so that the hunters could send them home to settle down before they could stabilize these lawless hunters.
……
In fact, Chen Xian was busy with his own affairs in the blacksmith shop, and he had no intention of going out before the new Zhuangzi was built.
Chen Xian went all out in the shop to train the new apprentices, in order to form combat effectiveness faster, although he has a semi-automatic body, but the bullets in his hands are limited, although the semi-automatic is powerful, but it is a source of water, Chen Xian understands very well that in this era, only these apprentices under him who are still immature but have a promising future are the foundation of his life.
