The next day.

Lu Chen pitifully asked Su Xiaomo for 100 million copper coins, and then another death-defying toss came.

"Tian Zhong, you immediately recruit three hundred fruit farmers and winemakers, and I will plant grapes in the Western Regions in the valley of the river."

Tian Zhong was speechless: "......"

Since the last time he got six types of fruit seeds, walnuts, watermelons, bayberry, sand fruits, and cantaloupe have begun to be planted by fruit farmers in the city, and at the same time, Lu Chen found that some lords also have these things, which made Lu Chen give up the idea of monopolizing planting.

However, grapes from the Western Regions are unique to Starfall City, but the initial investment is still too small, after all, there are still a lot of alternative fruits, which makes Lu Chen only plant 300 plants in the Xihe Valley, and has not expanded further since then.

After Tian Zhong's reminder yesterday, Lu Chen finally faced up to the specialty, as long as he mastered it, it was a patent that only belonged to Starfall City.

Yuwenjia was able to make apricot blossom wine, and Lu Chen believed that he would be able to make wine, and 50 million copper coins were temporarily invested in wine research and development.

Meantime.

Lu Chen also used the remaining 50 million copper coins to invest in the cultivation of medicinal herbs, which was planted on the north mountain of the Xihe Valley, and the entire hill was designated for medicinal farmers to plant.

Tian Zhong looked at the fund ledger, shook his head helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "Loser, really a loser, don't blame Dr. Su for not giving money, this loser is ...... fast."

The next day.

A total of 600 fruit growers, brewers, and medicine farmers were recruited.

【Highlight】

【Skill: Brewing】

【Huaan】

Lu Chen probed the information of the three of them, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he smiled faintly: "Yes, in the future, the Xihe Valley will be managed by the three of you." ”

Liu Liu manages the grape base, Gao Liang manages the winery, and Hua'an manages the herb field, all three of which are set up in the Xihe Valley, and since then, Lu Chen has been running to the Xihe Valley every day for half a month.

The winery's winemaking method is so old that Lu Chen has to go back and forth between the game and reality, and then look up the information again and again, and try to produce wine by himself.

Outcome.

Because he was not a winemaker, not only did he go back in defeat, but he made the whole brewery stink, and almost killed two hundred winemakers.

He immediately understood.

Yu Wenyuan's uncle must have a side profession as a winemaker.

Lu Chen had no choice but to quit tinkering.

The grain in Starfall City began to be harvested, and Lu Chen, in addition to penance in the military camp every day, rode a snow black shut, and went to the valley of the river to investigate the progress of winemaking.

Pity.

When the winemaking was not successful, the herbs strangely ruined a large area, and when Lu Chen heard the report, he thought that the medicine farmer had not taken care of it.

Hua An hurriedly explained: "Lord, it's not that we didn't take care of it, but that there are fierce beasts, and it is the fierce beasts who have stolen the herbs!" ”

Lu Chen was suddenly a little speechless, the valley of the river is located in the northeast, to the north is the snow mountain, to the east is the forest, and to the west is Taihu Town, it is purely normal for fierce beasts to appear, but!

What the hell is the beast that steals medicinal herbs!

Hua An cried and shouted with a sad face: "Lord, there are really fierce beasts there!" ”

Lu Chen exhaled.

Nodding.

Now.

Complete one's misery.

"My lord, the expenditure of the brewery in the city has exceeded the budget, if it continues like this, the meat in the barracks will be cut off, and there is still this season's grain, we don't have copper coins to buy at all, you see this... Is it to stop the brewery experiment? ”

Tian Zhong immediately reported the consumption of funds in the city at this moment, which caught Lu Chen a little off guard, it was really a wave of unsettled, it was really a little... Alas, investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market.

"Ding. The Han court issued a grain requisition order, and farmers belonging to the Han camp could sell grain to the Han trading firm, with an average price of 800 copper coins per quintal, and the lord player was not allowed to stop it privately, otherwise he would be punished for treason. ”

Bang!

"Lord, lord, what's wrong with you?"

Tian Zhong desperately shook Lu Chen, who had fainted, and then there was no movement for a long time, and the rich three and four immediately sent Lu Chen to the hospital for treatment.

Midnight.

Lu Chen woke up.

He was lying on the bed in the hospital, Su Xiaomo fell asleep at the head of the bed, Lu Chen got up cautiously, hugged Su Xiaomo to the bed, covered the futon, he quietly walked out of the courtyard, and when he checked the system's grain requisition order again, his eyes were full of disdain.

Secretly said: "You deserve to perish,!" ”

He remembered the incident of the fierce beast stealing the herbs that the medicine farmer said, and immediately rushed to the barracks to gather three hundred guards, mounted a war horse, held a spear, carried a bow and arrows, and hurried to the northern slope of the herb hill without stopping.

The torches should be seen clearly, and there is a white giant bear below, and then the medicine farmers seem to find that the white bear seems to be afraid of the torch, and they have lit the torch to drive it away.

Lu Chen scolded secretly: "Damn, there are really fierce beasts!" ”

Hua An, who was covered in mud, saw Lu Chen leading his troops to come, and immediately greeted him, with a slight claw mark on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord, you are finally here!" ”

"Hua'an, you beckoned everyone to step down, leave it to me here!"

"Yes, my lord."

The medicine farmers retreated, and Lu Chen rushed towards the white bear first, and with a bang, the white bear was motionless, but Lu Chen was almost shocked and flew out.

"Damn!"

"Lord, Feng Helaiye!"

Feng He's big knife slashed at the medicine farmer's body, and with a bang, I saw the white bear slap it over, and Feng He and the people flew out with the horse!

Goo!

Three hundred guards grunted.

"Shoot it with a bow and arrow."

Lu Chen hurriedly shouted, only to see the guards react, and the swishing arrows shot at the white bear, with a low sound, like the sound of raindrops hitting the earth.

The white bear didn't react at all.

It quickly plucked the cultivated herbs, not paying any attention to the light raindrops of the guards.

When Lu Chen saw the white bear destroy the herbs he had purchased with a large amount of copper coins, he couldn't wait to rush up and slap it in the mouth.

"Torches! Hurry up and get ready for the torches! ”

Three quarters later.

The white bear had already grabbed a large piece of herbs, and it watched as the three hundred guards came with torches, roared twice, and then slapped its ass and ran away.

When the guards saw the white bear leaving, they carried Feng He, who had fainted, to the hospital for treatment.

Lu Chen looked at the empty area below, and then at the large medicine field behind him, he realized that Starfall City's rapidly expanding territory had already touched the forbidden area.

The white bear is clearly not an ordinary beast.

"It seems that we have to send a large army to garrison here, otherwise, 50 million copper coins will be wasted again." Lu Chen thought secretly.

When he returned to the hospital, it was already the third watch.

Feng He's injuries have stabilized and did not cause fatal injuries, but he was slapped in the abdomen by a bear's paw, but fortunately he was wearing armor, otherwise he would have been crippled if he didn't die.

After receiving Su Xiaomo and the two returning to the mansion, when Lu Chen wanted to take the opportunity to ask for another two or three hundred million copper coins, Su Xiaomo suddenly fell asleep again, and Lu Chen had no choice but to give up.

Wake up the next day.

Su Xiaomo had already gone into the mountain with the old man to collect medicine.

Lu Chen's face was bitter, the grain harvest had begun, whether he could keep the grain in Starfall City from being purchased by the imperial court depended on whether the treasury had enough coins.

The imperial court used 800 copper coins/quintal, as long as the copper coins were sufficient, Lu Chen dared to drive to 1000 copper coins/quintal, and the grain of Xingluo City was never allowed to fall into the hands of the imperial court.

At this time.

Tian Zhong excitedly came to report: "Lord, there is news from the winery, the wine production has improved, the first jar of wine is in the process of testing, and good news should come soon." ”

Lu Chen clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, it's finally starting to produce special products!" Ha ha. ”

"My lord, but the winemaking, production, and sale of wine still need to wait, this grain purchase? I'm afraid it still can't be solved. ”

Lu Chen instantly looked like a decadent rooster, he exhaled a resolute tone and said: "The grain of Starfall City must not fall into the hands of the Han Imperial Court, so I will find a way to make up coins." ”

"Lord, all the grain that can be purchased in Xingluo City, Tian Zhong has estimated that the total harvest of all farmers in this season is about 10 million quintals, according to the regulations, we can buy about half, with a price of 1,000 copper coins per quintal, which requires at least 5 billion copper coins!"

Bang!

Lu Chen suddenly fell to the ground softly.

He said goodbye to Tian Zhong, gathered the four battalions of guards, armed with torches, spears, iron cables, hooks and other props, and went to the North Mountain Medicine Field in the valley of the river, they guarded the place where the white bear stole the herbs last night, this time, they wanted to completely catch the white bear.

Although the grain problem can't be solved, he can't let the investment in the medicine field lose money, if he loses money again, Lu Chen will really have to go to the street to beg for food.

Night falls.

Lu Chen and the others waited quietly, they had already set a trap, as long as they waited for the white bear to appear, this time, no matter how hard he was, he would definitely not be able to escape the tragic fate of being arrested.

Three quarters of an hour passed.

There was no movement, and they continued to wait.

Because Hua'an and other medicine farmers said that white bears always appear about an hour after nightfall.

An hour passed.

Lu Chen stared closely at the trap pit under the hill, he was looking forward to the stupid bear coming soon, as long as he caught it, he might be able to sell it for a good price, if he could burst out of any special resources and weapons, it would be a good deal.

This kind of white bear should be a fierce beast in the forbidden area, and the things it bursts out must not be comparable to the things that ordinary beasts explode, and now it seems that if you really want something good, you can send it to Luoyang City for auction, and easily make tens of billions of dollars, not just playing, in this way, it is much more awesome than your old father-in-law.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Another hour passed.

The white bear, which was supposed to come, still didn't arrive.

He had some doubts in his heart, could it be that the white bear's weekend is coming, and it has to take a holiday and rest?

But when he thought of the explosive resources of the fierce beast, Lu Chen immediately extinguished the faint impatience in his heart, and he waited patiently.

Another hour passed.

......

"It's okay, it's just oversleeping, and it will come later."

Lu Chen comforted himself.

......

I don't know how many hours have passed.

Purr!

There was a snoring sound behind him!

In a dream.

Lu Chen saw the white bear fall into the trap, struggling uselessly, he could only strangely hook its head with a hook, trap its limbs with iron locks, tie it with ropes, drag it to a cart and slowly transport it into the city, the blind adoring eyes of the NPC residents in the city, and the envious and jealous eyes of adventure players.

Lu Chen stood on the belly of the white bear and laughed, holding the Mixed Yuan Overlord Halberd to cut off the white bear's head, and then burst out of shiny gold jewelry.

"Hahahaha."

"My lord... Lord-in-law......" Yang Feng shook Lu Chen, who was intoxicated and laughing in his sleep, and shouted in a panic: "Lord, something is wrong, the medicine field in the east has been stolen by a white bear!" ”
