Xun Chen and Zhen Yao finished discussing and happily reached a cooperation.

Subsequently.

Zhen Mi and Zhen Yao met and talked about some parents' shortcomings.

Zhen Yao, who was already willing to help Yuan Xi, saw Yuan Xi's unusual love for Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi gave birth to a little boy for Yuan Xi, and his desire to support Yuan Xi became even firmer.

.........................

Yuan Xi, who has just returned to Jixian County, has a lot of things to do.

The captured Li Dian, Yu Ban, and Le Jin were all waiting to be persuaded to surrender.

Chen Deng was also not properly resettled.

Tens of thousands of new recruits lacked training and were weak in combat. It is necessary to arrange a competent general to take command.

However, before dealing with these things, there was one more important thing that Yuan Xi couldn't wait to do. That is, after several months of trading with Wu Huan, how many cattle, sheep and horses have been accumulated.

He is now anxious to control and recycle the animals, and buy more powerful and useful beasts.

And.

He already has a goal.

Want to buy a batch of adult bats.

Why buy bats? Bats are neither prehistoric animals nor have a powerful attack. It can be said to be the weakest beast in the system store, and it is difficult to hurt the enemy.

After Yuan Xi's understanding....

Bats are currently the only beasts in the world that can fly, and they are inexpensive and have a wide range of functions.

They generally move at night and can reach speeds of tens of miles per hour, faster than horses can run.

Ultrasound waves can be emitted to dodge obstacles.

This is a feature that many animals don't have.

Yuan Xi wanted to form a bat army, fly to various places to find out the news, and send it back in time.

There is a cloud in the art of war: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Without accurate sources, you can't win a war.

The appearance of the Bat Army can serve as his two eyes and ears, monitoring the movements of Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, and Jizhou. Seeing or hearing something that the spies couldn't find.

It's just that...

Although the price of bats is low, the demand is huge. Without tens of thousands of beast crystals, it would definitely not be able to be formed.

Jixian County.

Yuan Xi arrived at Xun Chen's office, sat down and asked, "Mr. Xun." How is the market in Jixian County built? With Wuhuan and Xianbei, have you ever made a deal? How many cows, sheep and horses are there? ”

"Uh... Don't worry, don't wait. Xun Chen asked someone to serve tea.

He also sat aside and said, "Returning to Gongzi." Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun, since he had the grain given to him by his son, he returned to Wuhuan Mountain, took advantage of the Three Kings to resist the Xiongnu, gathered tens of thousands of people, and formed a huge army. Half a year ago, he started a war with the Three Kings Tribe, successively defeated Nanlou, Su Muyan, Wuyan, etc., surrendered their clansmen, and drove the Three Kings Department out of Wuhuan. ”

"Bunton still kept his promise, after he took control of Wuhuan, he immediately sent someone to contact him, promising to form a volunteer army within two months..."

Volunteer in the army?

Hearing these three words, Yuan Xi's heart trembled and asked, "Is it ready?" ”

"Yes."

Xun Chen said: "The 10,000 righteous soldiers have been sent to Yuyang, and Tian Chou is responsible for training. The humble post has ordered Tian Chou to send the righteous army to Jixian County, which will be controlled by our commander. ”

"A few days ago, Badun contacted Yan Rou and sent more than 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses to exchange food with us..."

"Where are the cows, sheep and horses?" Yuan Xi asked anxiously.

"In the market....

Yuan Xi stood up and said, "You're busy." I'll go to the market and have a look. With that, he left.

Xun Chen, who was left with a confused face: "It's really strange, don't you want to listen to my report?" ”

North Side.

Jixian Market.

Yan Rou personally led the way and welcomed Yuan Xi to inspect.

Seeing Yan Rou, who was diligent and conscientious, Yuan Xi remembered his experience in history. A general who is valued by Cao Pi, guards the north and resists foreign races, but now deals with some animals, is it condescending?

If Yan Rou was given military power, would he do better?

The idea was just a fleeting one.

If Yan Rou was loyal enough, Yuan Xi would definitely give it consideration.

"Childe, please take a look. That was the cattle, sheep and horses sent by Wuhuan Shan Yu Dun, a total of 12,000 heads. All of them are raised by our market, waiting for the son to dispose of them. Yan Rou pointed to the rows of wooden fences in the distance and said, "Eastern Xianbei also sent people to negotiate, and they are willing to exchange cattle and sheep for grain. It's just that they can't talk well, and the price may be higher. ”

"No matter how high the price is, you have to buy it!"

Yuan Xi said in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, the minister will try to negotiate with them to ensure that the price is fair, after all, Wuhuan is also providing us with cattle and sheep, if the price is lower than Xianbei, I am afraid that it will offend Wuhuan." Yan Rou replied.

"Well, you've thought it through, so do as you say." Yuan Xi's mind was racing rapidly, thinking about how to control the cattle, sheep and horses in the market, and then turn them into beast crystals.

Suddenly, I saw a large clearing in the distance, and the fence had not yet been built.

Yuan Xi said: "An open-air enclosure was built there. Get some rockeries, trees, and bamboo forests, and plant them there. From now on, my mammoths and Vajra great apes will live in the paddock, and you will be responsible for feeding them. Also, every once in a while, they eat large quantities. I'm afraid the cattle and sheep in the market are just enough to eat. ”

Yes?

Yan Rou was shocked and said, "Can they eat so much?" ”

"That's not much." Yuan Xi is actually not afraid of letting people know that he has a beast control system, but it is too shocking to say it, and with the idea that more things are better than less, he simply let the mammoth and the King Kong giant ape take the blame.

After inspecting Yan Rou's market.

Yuan Xi also went to the furniture factory in Dongcheng. The furniture factory covers an extremely large area, with more than a dozen warehouses and four huge squares, where workers can be seen everywhere, making all kinds of furniture.

But...

Most of the workers are working to carry materials, and it is rare to see a master craftsman.

It's at the speed at which furniture is made, very slowly.

Yuan Xi asked the person in charge of the furniture factory and said that there were more than 1,000 workers and could only make 50 sets of furniture a day. The reason is that there are only fifty craftsmen and masters, and they do one set from beginning to end.

"A thousand? Only 50 sets of furniture? ”

Yuan Xi was also speechless.

Return to the Jixian County Mansion. He suggested to Xun Chen that assembly line production be carried out. The work that does not require technology is handed over to ordinary workers to do, and the craftsmen are responsible for the work that requires technical processing.

In this way, the efficiency of the work will be multiplied.

Xun Chen's suggestion of assembly line production greatly inspired him. After Yuan Xi left, he personally rushed to the furniture factory to carry out rectification and reform, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of work.

A hundred clever workers were also selected to study from the side and reserve talents in advance.

If furniture can be promoted to Hebei states and the demand increases, it is necessary to build a few more furniture factories for mass production. At that time, the number of craftsmen directly determined the number of tables, chairs and benches.
