After agreeing on the trading time, Meng Chen and Lin Rufeng both laughed heartily.

Seeing that the business was over, Qing'er, who had been standing behind Lin Rufeng, asked in that cold voice, "Boss Meng, where is Ah Fu?" ”

Meng Chen looked stunned, first looked at Qing'er, and then at Alfred, not knowing how to answer this question for a while.

When Lin Rufeng heard this, he immediately blew his beard and glared at him and said, "Why do you ask Ah Fu?" Let's go, we still have something to do. Boss Meng, farewell! ”

After speaking, Lin Rufeng was ready to pull Qing'er out of Dilong Valley.

However, Qing'er stubbornly stood in place, waiting for Meng Chen's answer.

"This ...... This ......"

Just when Meng Chen was at a loss, Alfred made a noble salute to Qing'er, and said in an unskilled southern Xinjiang dialect: "Miss Qing'er, I am Ah Fu!" ”

"What? used to be just a bumpy look, but now he has become a weirdo. Let's go! Qing'er, hurry up and leave with Dad! Lin Rufeng exclaimed.

"......" Meng Chen looked at the soap opera speechlessly.

Qing'er was also shocked by Ah Fu's true appearance, and couldn't imagine that Ah Fu was actually an Oseriel.

Alfred said seriously, "The people of Ocellell are not weirdos, and I have a lover of my own. I'm sorry, Miss Qing'er! ”

In the end, Qing'er followed Lin Rufeng out of Dilong Valley with tears in her eyes.

Looking at the backs of Lin Rufeng and Qing'er leaving, and then at Alfred's flat expression, Meng Chen patted Alfred's shoulder and said, "When it is broken, it is broken, admire!" ”

Alfred said helplessly: "Lord Lord, my subordinates have no special feelings for Miss Qing'er. ”

Six days later, Lin Rufeng led five ox carts to arrive as scheduled.

This time, Qing'er did not appear.

And Lin Rufeng glared at Alfred the whole time, which made Alfred feel very embarrassed.

After delivering a hundred sets of elite equipment to Lin Rufeng, Lin Rufeng handed Meng Chen a huge roll of animal skin paper.

In this scroll of animal skin paper, the terrain is outlined with black lines, with a radius of hundreds of miles; The red lines are used to depict the scope of the surrounding beast territory; The specific locations of dozens of villages are marked with white lines.

After a cursory glance at the map, Meng Chen held back the excitement in his heart and arched his hand towards Lin Rufeng: "Senior Lin, happy cooperation!" ”

"Hmm!"

Lin Rufeng nodded, and asked casually, "If Lin needs a large amount of grain, are the Ocellreans willing to trade?" ”

Meng Chen thought for a moment and asked, "How much does Senior Lin need?" ”

Lin Rufeng looked at Meng Chen and replied, "A thousand stones!" ”

Meng Chen said with a look of surprise: "A thousand stones? So much food is enough for thousands of people to survive the evil moon period. Are there thousands of remnants in Taoyuan Village? ”

Lin Rufeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, are the people of Oseril willing to trade?" ”

Don't look at a thousand stone of grain, according to the usual market price, it is only about two hundred gold knife coins.

But that's a piecemeal purchase, and it's not the same thing as buying in bulk.

Especially as the evil moon period is gradually approaching, the price of grain in various places has skyrocketed, and it has fallen into a state of price and no market.

At present, the city of hope has enough food, and it is not impossible to give out 100,000 units of food, but the question is whether it is worth it.

Meng Chen said in a deep voice: "If the Oseril people are willing to trade, what is Senior Lin going to exchange for?" ”

Lin Rufeng looked at Meng Chen in surprise and said curiously: "Isn't Boss Meng needing such a big deal, please ask the leader of the Otera people?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Meng Chen coughed and covered up: "As the Minister of the Interior, that is, the village elder of the Village of Hope, this right is still there. ”

"Oh! I see! Lin Rufeng looked abrupt, and he didn't know if he believed it or not.

"Hehe......" Meng Chen could only laugh a few times.

Subsequently, Lin Rufeng said solemnly: "Lin accidentally learned a piece of news yesterday, which is related to the Blood Refining Sect, Manniu Village, and Dilong Valley. Lin used this news in exchange for a thousand stone of grain, how about it? ”

"It's about the Blood Refining Sect, the Barbarian Cow Village, and the Earth Dragon Valley? Could it be that the Blood Refining Sect is preparing to make a move against Earth Dragon Valley? Thinking of this, Meng Chen's heart was heavy.

Seeing that Meng Chen's face was cloudy, Lin Rufeng asked with a smile, "Does Boss Meng think this deal can be done?" ”

Meng Chen nodded slowly and said, "I can do it!" However, detailed and accurate information is required below. Moreover, Senior Lin also has to give a detailed map from Dilong Valley to Wumeng City. ”

Lin Rufeng thought for a moment and replied, "Deal!" But...... Lin will have three more days to get specific information. ”

It was agreed that the transaction would be carried out in three days, and Meng Chen could only wait patiently for the transaction to come.

The next day, a message popped up from the light curtain in Meng Chen's mind, "The ditch (1st level) has been built!" ”

After receiving the information, Meng Chen's spirits perked up and he was overjoyed: "The first section of the moat has finally been built!" ”

When I came to the outer wall of the inner city, I saw a huge ditch 30 meters wide and 10 meters deep, which had already surrounded the inner city for a third of the circle.

Through the light curtain in his mind, Meng Chen checked the resource reserves of the City of Hope at this moment.

Due to too many resources, Meng Chen built two new warehouses some time ago.

Currently, there are 26,020 lumber (grey/white), 22,280 stone (grey), 1,232 metal (grey/white), and grain (grey/white) 1125640 of the six warehouses in the City of Hope.

Meng Chen passed the light curtain in his mind and gave the order to build the second and third sections of the moat.

"Gold - 4000, Stone (Gray) - 10000, start building a ditch (1st tier)! After 480 hours, the construction was complete! ”×2

"In another twenty days, the moat will be built. By that time, the defense of the inner city will be basically systematic. That's right! A few days ago, I asked the scholars in the library to improve the drawbridge drawings I drew, but I don't know how it is progressing now? ”

Thinking of this, Meng Chen walked towards the library.

When Meng Chen came to the library, the chief scholar bowed to Meng Chen and said, "Welcome, Honorable Lord!" ”

Meng Chen waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite!" How have the drawbridge drawings improved? ”

The Chief Scholar replied respectfully, "It can be improved today, this is a rough design sketch, Lord Lord, please take a look!" ”

After speaking, the chief scholar spread out a roll of animal skin paper and began to introduce it to Meng Chen: "Since the distance between the piers reserved for the moat is ten meters, the length of the suspension bridge should be more than ten meters. The entire suspension bridge consists of columns, trusses, steel plates, chains, pulleys and rivets. A single drawbridge weighs 20 tons, consumes 20 units of metal (white), and the column part of the blacksmith cannot be forged. ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "After the drawing improvement is completed, immediately hand it over to the blacksmith shop, let the blacksmiths start work as soon as possible, and I will solve the column part." ”

"Yes! Your Lord! The chief scholar bowed and said.
