"How long are you going to let us do it?"

"Not counting the rain, ten days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I can't finish it."

"Yes."

Jian Chen shouted, and several people came over with tools such as axes and short saws, and two or three sturdy ones took familiar tools and jingled down the trees, and soon cut down a few trees.

Cut down a few round trees and spread them on the ground as rollers, tied to a rope on a large log, pulled and stacked aside, neatly and orderly.

Ze's eyes straightened, and Jian Chen snapped his fingers and said, "You guys will definitely not be able to finish it with stones, but Xia Cheng rarely uses stones anymore, so you can finish it." I'll provide you with the food and the like, and you will send a few women to cook. ”

After a while, the few people who collaborated on the logging had already made a sample, and the branches were still on the ground waiting to be dried before they could be ignited, Ze nodded and said, "If the tools are enough, it should be done in ten days." ”

"Then it's decided, not counting the rain, ten days to finish. If it's one day overdue, you owe me an extra 200 pounds of salt. If you do it slowly, you may not only not repay my salt when you are done, but you will also owe a great deal. Do you agree? ”

Ze Xin said: "If I don't agree, I have to agree!" Nodding helplessly, Jian Chen smiled and said: "Okay, don't count today, I'm going to Sucheng tomorrow to transport grain, you also prepare, the day after tomorrow is the third day of July, and I'll take a look on July 13." You must remember that if you are lazy now, you will have to do more work in the future. Unless you find another place to get salt, grain, and herbs, but that is impossible, and I will exterminate them at once if you dare to sell them to you. Please don't think otherwise, that's unrealistic. ”

Jian Chen thought for a while, and then asked people to take down the black and white bear flag and wheat ear symbol of Xia Cheng and put them on the island: "Someone sees you and mentions my name, they don't dare to embarrass you when they see Xia Cheng's flag and wheat ear." ”

Ze Chang sighed, reluctantly accepted, and followed Jian Chen on the boat and said, "Let's go, it's already like this anyway, go to the island to rest?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

After returning to the island where the fugitives lived, Yu Qian'er and Hongyu were talking to a group of women, and the children next to them were much more polite than yesterday, and they were not too afraid, Ji Bai had been familiar with the characteristic accent with a thick nasal accent and the wheat ear sign of the Xia City people in the few months here, and they had also heard a lot of stories about Ji Xia, which were both cordial and familiar, and they were not afraid.

"Brother, have you found the island?"

"Found it. Tomorrow you and Redfish will stay, and I will keep some more people, when you built Xia City before, you took care of building houses, and Redfish managed building stables, you two are capable, this matter will be handed over to you, divide it, and finish it as soon as possible. I scared and scared them, and the seven days of life gave them ten days, and they didn't know the difference between boiling water and washing the mutton first. ”

Yu Qian'er thought of the story her brother told when she first commanded everyone to build a house a few years ago, smiled knowingly, nodded and said, "Then I'll be in charge with Hongyu, and you will go to Sucheng?" ”

"Well, let them get the grain first, Sucheng still owes us three boatloads of grain for bronze ingots. I'm going to take a look at the people on the island, so you two can keep talking to them. ”

After walking a few steps, he turned back and whispered in the ears of the two of them: "I have thought of the name of the city, the wood of the left elm and the fish of the red fish on the right, which is the same as the elm of Yu Qian'er." Twenty years ago, the meteorite fell to the ground in the season of July Flowing Fire, and since the red fish was born in these days, it is counted as my birthday gift to you. When the opportunity came in the future, he gave this city to Yu Qian'er. ”

Hongyu felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, walked over and hugged Jian Chen gently, thinking about the rumors of Jian Chen and Yuemei that he had heard before, his heart was even warmer.

kissed the red fish lightly, and walked away with a brush, loose ink and silk.

…………

Outside the manhole on the island, Ze and the few very prestigious people among the fugitive slaves got together, and he didn't tell all the people what Jian Chen said, but only talked to these people.

Three or five people said angrily: "This Ji Xia is not as good as the previous master, what the master does sometimes has to have some face, he doesn't want face at all, he says it so explicitly." ”

"That is, he said that he is not a good person, I just think he is humble, this look, he is really not a good person."

Ze spread his hands and said, "Is there any way?" I can't say whether it's good or not. I'd rather talk to this kind of bad guy for a deal. He looked at it and smiled, but I ask you, are there still villages on the shore today? ”

"No, all of them moved away in the spring of this year."

"That's it. He said that whoever traded with us in the future would be exterminated, and he did it, and I heard Ji Bai say that he led people to kill them on the grassland for a month, leaving no women and children, and not even arresting slaves, and tying the Xijon slaves of the Acropolis to their gunpowder and exploding them into powder. ”

Ze stretched out his hand and touched the burn marks left on his face when he was a slave and said, "We are slaves when we get out of Onozawa, and we even have to die." In Onozawa, even if Ji Xia is a bad person, he said it clearly, we are still human beings, we are free, if you don't want to do it, you can not do it, it is said that he is still reasonable. Where else can we go besides being in Onozawa? ”

"You have seen the ship, and you have seen his soldiers, but they can't beat it. Even if we can fight, what will we do in the future? Ji Xia also told me yesterday that he doesn't care about our island, there are lotus root land fish and shrimp, and he can always survive without starvation, but when the children grow up, there are more and more, what should I do? This island is clearly given to me, but in fact it belongs to everyone, and I beg him to give it to all the people on the island, but he does not agree, and I can only accept it. Once I die one day, this island can't support so many people, is it possible that it will be the same as outside, some people are fed and some people are slaves? ”

The group of people had no clue, and finally whispered, "In this way, didn't he give us ten days of work?" Let's do it, and if we can do it in ten days, we'll do it. If you can't finish it, the more you owe, the more you owe, why don't you fight with him! If it doesn't take ten days to finish, it's actually easier than before, and it's not unacceptable. ”

"Ten days? Even if you have that tool, how can you finish such a large forest? ”

"Let's try it, is there another way?"

Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I agree." What about you? ”

Everyone couldn't think of any idea, so they had to agree, and when they were about to get up, they heard a sharp pottery whistle outside, and they stretched out their heads to take a look, and saw that the children on the island were playing around Chen Jian, and seemed to be queuing up to get some snacks with a smile.

Faintly listened to Jian Chen say outside: "Yes, just line up like this, don't mess around, lead them one by one, and give you candy every day in the future." In the future, you have to be like this, you have to understand the whistle, and you know that you are going to work? Rest? Dine? Or to receive corn goods. Oh, this piece of sugar is yours, sweet or not? ”

"Sweet."

"Do you know what to do the next time you get candy?"

"Know, stand in line, listen to the whistle."

Chen Jian squatted down with a smile and touched the head of the yellow-haired weak child, saw Ze's group of people, gave the candy to the people next to him, waved at Ze and said, "I'm looking for you." ”

Ze squeezed out a smile and watched the group of children line up to listen to the whistle to receive candy, and suddenly felt a little scared.

"Ten years later...... Instead of receiving candy, these children will line up to the whistle...... Go to work, kill the enemy? (To be continued.) )
