"Haven't you ever thought of these dogs?!"

Deng Shifeng's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the old grandson and Qin Er, who were also in the shack, were stunned, they thought that Daxian would have various solutions, and even thought that Daxian would turn into a mountain of food from the mountains like a trick, but they never thought of this one.

"What? Can't? Still scared?! Deng Shifeng looked at the expressions of the two and asked with a playful smile.

"Scared, scared of birds!! Daxian, if you don't say it, I'm about to forget, Lao Tzu has been scared for so many years, and I have been angry with those people for so long, I didn't expect that when I was about to enter the ground, I would be able to get out of this evil breath for my old father!! ”

The first to come back to his senses was the old grandson, only to see him viciously break a piece of firewood in his hand, gritted his teeth and spit out a cruel word, from the previous exchange Deng Shifeng knew that the father of the old grandson was the last time he was armed to seize the land many years ago, and he couldn't stand the hatred of taking the land and suffered internal injuries and finally died of depression. If it was before, the old grandson would not dare to expect that he would be able to avenge his father in this life.

"! Anyway, shrinking your head is also a knife, so it's better to pick up your arms and get a hand! But if we just rely on our people, we only have to die?! ”

Seeing that Lao Sun Tou had expressed his position, Qin Er spat and expressed his approval, but at the same time, he did not forget to remind Deng Shifeng how weak his own strength is now. Although Qin Er has lived a small life in agriculture, he is still from a military family after all, and he is not a good baby who is obedient, and don't forget that the ancestors of these people are all chaotic people who were born in trouble.

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure about, but you have to support me with all my might!"

Since he already understood that next year's grain must be purchased from outside or even snatched to make up for the shortage, Qin Er no longer bothered to put the young and strong labor force in the village into the infrastructure construction of opening roads. After receiving the support of Qin Er and Lao Sun Tou, Deng Shifeng began to tell the two in detail about his entire plan......

In Deng Shifeng's plan, let Luo Dan organize people to kill the beasts near the mine This is the first step, which not only ensures the safety of the subsequent construction of simple roads, but also increases the supply of meat in the village, don't forget, Luo Dan Half of the meat of the trophies they hunt is to be distributed by Deng Shifeng, if the hunting of the mine generation goes smoothly or the harvest is too small, then Luo Dan They will continue to clean up the beasts near the new village that may endanger the lives of the villagers to obtain more meat and hides.

In the process of building roads, opening mines and building basic furnaces, Qin Er will take people to Taiping Town, 20 kilometers west (now Liucheng County), to find a way to exchange some materials for some materials. Although everyone in the Ming Dynasty is a black household can not get this kind of thing, but there are policies and countermeasures, some things are not so absolute, and in this era, there is a kind of businessman called the picky trader, they pick up all kinds of haberdashery things between the villages, as long as you find such a picky foot merchant to catch up with the line, then the other party can help you solve all kinds of problems from purchase to shipment, even if he can't eat it personally, he will unite with other traveling merchants and even some trading houses to complete the transaction; Of course, the largest part of the profit must be taken away by the other party, if you want to get the maximum benefit, then you must take the risk to complete the series of processes from shipment to purchase, at this point, Deng Shifeng does not expect to be able to do this step in a short period of time.

There is no way to open up trade routes to the west, from Deng Shifeng's map, there is a town in the north and south that can be traded, but on one side is a local official and on the other side is a large landlord, both sides have coveted the land in the village for a long time, and there are many filthy and grievances between them, Qin Er takes people to these two places to trade ninety percent of them will be recognized by the other party's subordinates, that is simply giving the other party a head, and everyone can only choose to open the channel of trading to the west as a last resort.

Qin Er they don't have many things to trade, considering that if they don't get out of the horse, some modern things in the future world can't be sold at a price, and they may even be too shocking and coveted by others, so Qin Er's current trading is basically all kinds of animal skins and some mountain goods, and there is not much advantage in price, but Deng Shifeng doesn't expect to rely on these animal skins to eat. What Deng Shifeng values is that it is one thing to be able to open a trade route and set up an online line to pave the way for future product sales, and to find a way to let these businessmen help him inquire about outside information, so as to determine the general situation of Liucheng County and Rong (An) County in the north.

In fact, Deng Shifeng originally planned to take people to do it himself, and at the same time, he could go outside to get the first-hand information he wanted to know most, but considering that these things brought over by later generations would be a little more than worth the loss if they caused some people to covet or cause trouble, and in the next period of time, a series of work such as teaching, roads, mines, and blast furnaces in the iron factory must be done by himself, Deng Shifeng had to hand over this matter to Qin Er.

Expressing his thoughts and recent development plans to the two in the shack, Qin Er and Lao Sun Tou had no opinions, and the three of them basically set a plan for next year, but Qin Er asked a few more questions on how to do a vote, after all, he knew very well how weak the village's current combat effectiveness was. Regarding Qin Er's worries, Deng Shifeng just smiled:

"Don't worry, when I start next year, although I can't guarantee that everyone will be able to get a musket, at least I can get a lot of gunpowder to make a thunderbolt!!"

……………………

With the full support of the two leading brothers, the next day, Qin Er, who knew that the time was pressing, took the initiative to kick Luo Dan's ass and asked him to quickly organize a hunt, Luo Dan immediately organized five or six young people to go up the mountain after getting confirmation from Deng Shifeng, who had a good bow and crossbow but had been unable to kill and quit He had long been eager to find something to prove what he had learned from Deng Shifeng some time ago. As for Qin Er and Lao Sun Tou, they arranged for more than a dozen laborers in the village to start building the road from the new village to the mine, and during this period, naturally many villagers were very puzzled why they wanted to occupy their own time and labor to reclaim the new field. Fortunately, although the villagers didn't understand, because it was the order of the great immortal, even if the villagers had ideas, they couldn't show them; And after going to work, you can also get the food after the labor of the Daxian crop as compensation, and there is a certain amount of food supplementation that also makes the villagers feel a little relieved, in ancient times, food is hard currency!!

Five days later, Luo Dan set up a few big traps without dishonoring his mission, and took a few young people to clean up a few wild boars and black bears that had been threatening the prospecting team last time, and when a few beasts were carried back to the new village, the faces of the villagers were full of joyful smiles - Daxian said that some of the meat would be used as for those young people who went out hunting. But a larger part will be used as remuneration for construction, which means that the villagers who are about to celebrate the New Year can have so many more pieces of meat at home during the New Year, and even make other dishes have such a fishy smell, this kind of thing has not appeared on the dinner table at home for a long time! Tempted by the temptation of meat, the enthusiasm of the village to go to work suddenly increased a lot, and the progress was significantly accelerated in those days......

Qin Er, on the other hand, took two familiar Yao dressed as hunters, carrying a few animal skins and some mountain goods, and went west along the valley according to the direction given by Deng Shifeng, and finally walked out of the mountains and forests after two days' footsteps, and after continuing to walk west along a small river, he found a village with dozens of families six miles away from Taiping Town. Because the contradictions between the ethnic minorities and the Han population in this area are not as intensified as those in Guidong, the people in the village are only surprised but not nervous to see the Yao people appear......

The picky traders are also very surprised to meet Shu Yao here, but compared with the villagers, the merchants who go to the village will be more excited to see Shu Yao, because the ethnic minorities settle in the mountains, compared with the Han people who live under the mountain, it means a series of various life products from needles and threads to iron axes, which means that there is a huge market gap to occupy, especially the two picky traders are even happier after receiving the invitation of Qin Er, the "pretended" leader. This means that you are allowed to enter the interior of the mountains and forests, you must know that in this era, in many areas controlled by ethnic minorities and local officials, outsiders enter without the permission of the chief, which is to use their bodies as targets and joke with their lives.

After successfully catching the line of the picker merchant, Qin Er and the other party agreed on the corresponding time and place of the transaction (although they agreed to enter the territory, it does not mean that they can enter the village) and returned to their village, the goods that the two pickers can provide and the ability to sell goods are limited after all, the two merchants will naturally look for their peers to expand the scale of the transaction, Qin Er They only need to wait patiently......
