"Hey-ha-"

Qingyang gasped and waved the ebony sword in his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The originally heavy ebony sword became more handy as his strength gradually increased.

In just over a month, he has changed from a weak young man with no power to a much stronger and more masculine man, with more than 100 catties of strength on one arm.

This cultivation progress is enough to shock a considerable number of people, but Qingyang's face is full of disappointment, compared to Lie Muyang, he is now much worse.

Lie Muyang was full of tigers and tigers at his feet, holding the dark red wide wooden sword to practice martial arts, and a wooden sword was wielded as dense as mercury.

The speed is extremely fast, the moves are complex, and it seems to be as relaxed and comfortable as the breeze blowing willows, when Qingyang performs these moves, he is like a blind bear and clumsy, and his body reaction cannot keep up with the speed of thinking at all.

When I practiced a sword technique just now, if it wasn't for Qingyang who had practiced body forging and channeling techniques for more than a month, and had practiced to a certain extent, I was afraid that even the bones would have broken when he stabbed back that move.

Lie Muyang couldn't help but shake his head, stopped Qingyang's clumsy movements, frowned and thought for a long time.

Only then did he suggest: "My lord, although your one-arm strength has reached more than 100 catties, but after all, you have not completed the forging body, and it is difficult to forcibly practice swordsmanship without laying a good foundation, it is better to concentrate on practicing a stabbing swordsmanship!" ”

"That's right!"

Qingyang is extremely dissatisfied with the slow progress of his cultivation, if he specializes in stabbing swordsmanship, as long as the sword is fast enough to a certain extent, he can save his life at critical moments, and this is the reason why one move is eaten all over the world.

Thinking of Lian Po's process of training the young servants, it seems that he only taught three martial arts skills, and let those young servants train repeatedly.

At first, I always felt that those actions were boring, but now that I want to fight between life and death, I don't need too many tricks at all.

Besides, the teenagers are like themselves, their foundation is weak and they can't master too many moves, and if they concentrate on practicing these few moves, if they are desperate on the battlefield, they will be separated from life and death in two or three strokes, and practicing only one move is much stronger than being greedy and chewing.

Thinking of this, Qingyang looked at the teenagers who were still immersed in training stabbing in the distance.

After having enough food, they once again trained hard without distractions, even if the weather was cold, it still could not discourage the teenagers' enthusiasm for training.

Ji's successive assassinations and Su Kuo's provocations made them feel angry, but in the face of increasingly powerful enemies, that deep sense of powerlessness greatly stimulated them.

This kind of pressure makes the teenagers willing to give up all their playtime to practice and train for more powerful strength, and they are not willing to be controlled by the enemy to control their fate.

The only thing that worries Qingyang is that these guys are too good to eat.

If it weren't for the food supported by the Cheng clan and the Ye clan, there would really not be enough food for them to eat.

"Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are fundamental!"

While eating, looking at a large group of rice buckets, Qingyang couldn't help but sigh again, "Fortunately, the food problem has been basically solved, and we have enough food, so that everyone can train with peace of mind!" Hey? ”

Speaking of this, Qingyang looked at the teenagers who were gobbling up the meal, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said to Lian Po beside him: "Why are they still wearing thin linen clothes?" Don't have winter clothes? ”

"Lord, we have been like this for many years!" Lian Po had a very strange expression, lord.

Qingyang was speechless.

Zhong Rui explained: "Lord, we rarely go out in winter, and we definitely don't need to wear too thick clothes, so we stuff some animal skins in our sackcloth in winter to keep out the cold, and only when we go out will we change into animal skin clothes." ”

Qingyang knocked on the table and said loudly: "This will definitely not work, since we are going to hunt in winter, we must have enough warm clothes!" ”

The most basic winter clothing problem has become the basic guarantee for whether this year's winter hunt can be carried out smoothly, without enough leather clothes and hats, it is easy to be frostbitten and frozen to death in the wilderness.

However, a new problem has arisen, and the Qing clan does not have enough fur to make animal skins and winter clothes for winter hunting.

In the Qing's fiefdom, only the cattle and sheep raised produce hides, but the cow and sheep skins accumulated in a year have to be used to make leather armor and other things, and where is the excess part to make leather clothes?

As for the fur of the prey, it is even more difficult, because of the restrictions of hunting laws in the mountains and forests, hunting is only possible in winter throughout the year.

However, for more than ten years, the Qing clan had to send most of their servants to fight in the northern frontier every winter, and they had not hunted well for many years, so naturally they did not have any spare fur reserves.

It's really an afterthought, Qingyang really can't wait to slap himself, why does he look at everyone every day but don't find these problems in time?

Not to mention that the slaves were still working shirtless in the cold wind, and even the recently promoted to retainers, such as Pulin, Guihe, Wenbo, and their families, wore only thin linen clothes.

has always emphasized the importance of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but only cares about the food problem, and actually ignores the equally important clothing and housing, this problem is even helpless for Qiu Niang.

"Lord, our animal skin winter coat can be solved by itself!"

Just when Qingyang, Lian Po, Zhong Rui and others were worried, a group of young slave servants who had always had a very weak sense of existence came out.

"Oh? Where did the hides come from? Qingyang suddenly came to the spirit.

"Look, my lord!" Sui is very satisfied with her new clothes, in previous years, she used to pick up her father's old clothes and wear, this is the first time she can remember wearing new clothes.

Qingyang was disappointed at first, and then felt a little sad.

The five young slaves, including the young Sui, were very happy to take out the warm leather coat that their family had prepared for them, which was actually sewn from vole skin.

How big does a vole get? Even if it is about three catties of fat vole skin, it takes dozens of voles to sew a leather coat, which looks like a beggar's hundred clothes, but a few children are still very happy!

"After a while, I will definitely get a good leather coat for each of you!" Qingyang patted the young man on the shoulder and solemnly promised the teenagers.

After temporarily solving the food problem, Qingyang found that Qing's current problems are quite numerous.

In addition to the extreme shortage of warm clothes, there is also a shortage of houses that can protect against the cold, more than half of the people in their own family are still crowded in a grass hut, as the wind is getting colder and colder, Qingyang is a little anxious.

"Why should the lord be in a hurry!"

Just when the young men were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, unexpectedly Lie Muyang spoke, "Aren't there many herds of cattle, sheep, and deer on the edge of Yanze outside the Qing clan's fiefdom? A rough estimate is that there are tens of thousands!

After the first snow of the beginning of winter, I will hunt a dozen heads to make animal skin winter clothes for everyone! ”

"That's right! We're all really confused! ”

Qingyang's sorrow dissipated instantly, but he felt that his sense of small farmers was too strong, and the young servants had no winter hunting experience.

For a while, I actually forgot that in previous years, there was naturally no herd of beasts when the salt dried up, but now because of the backflow of the cold stream, a shallow lake with half salt water and half fresh water has been formed.

The abundant water source allows many salt-tolerant plants in the shallows of the lake to remain green in late autumn, attracting tens of thousands of wild animals to come and eat.

At that time, Qingyang only needs to look at Yanze, and first hunt a few prey to make leather clothes, and naturally he can take the teenagers to winter hunting.

In this way, the clothing is finally temporarily solved, but the problem of housing cannot be easily solved, after all, living in a straw hut for the winter is too painful, and it takes more time and manpower to build a house.

Now there are more than 130 people in the Qing clan, most of them are women and children, and the main labor force is three peasant retainers and eighteen slaves, and it is also these people who are most in need of improving their living conditions.

Whether it was for the sake of these young servants, or for the peasant slaves to work better for their families, they had to be made to live a little better, and every effort had to be made to keep them in warm rooms before winter officially came.

Zhong Rui's young people are very concerned about this matter.

The houses of the soldiers and the families of the servants are naturally nothing to worry about, and the houses are all civil structures, sturdy and warm, and not very spacious.

The reason why they are concerned is because after a long time of getting along, the teenagers have initially blurred the originally strict class.

After experiencing Su Kuo's provocative incident, the young servants who were born slaves did not hesitate to rush to the forefront during the conflict that day.

Although the incident was finally resolved with the support of the Ye family and the deterrence of Lie Muyang, this did not affect Lian Po, Zhong Rui, and Pu Lin to look at them with admiration.

In the past, the young people of the Qing clan always thought that slaves were slaves, but with the training of the young people every day, they can now sit together and laugh.

Seeing that the middle of winter is approaching, how can they see their friend's family still living in such a dilapidated straw hut.
