When Nangong Sima and Zhao Xiaomei arrived at the camp with 4 soldiers, they were all taken aback by the changes here.

I saw a majestic and majestic fortress in front of me, stretching for several kilometers long, like a castle in all directions. The bottom of the walls on all four sides is made of horizontal wood sandwiched with clay, and the vertical logs on top raise the walls of the fortress to 4 meters high.

There is a station on the city wall for the sentinels to stand.

The gate is a large gatehouse, with three floors, and there is an iron fence gate outside the outermost wooden door. Outside the gate were guarded by five guards, and there were spearmen and archers on the gatehouse.

Inside, there are already many houses on the left, and the rows of houses are neatly arranged and atmospheric, and in the middle of that group of houses, there is a two-story building with a small courtyard standing out from the middle, and there are guards outside the courtyard.

On the right, a new house is being built, and it can be seen that the laborers are in high spirits, shouting trumpets, and working energetically, not at all the slack and foolish in the previous legions.

"It seems that the alpacas have done a good job, and they have lifted the spirit of this group of people." Nangong Sima smiled, this big camp is well built!

Zhao Xiaomei said: "Look over there! He pointed to their left.

Nangong Sima looked over and found that in the distance on the left, a group of soldiers were transporting timber, or horses pulling a cart, and the cart was loaded with timber in vertical strips, and entered through another side door of the camp.

The line was long, with a carriage following a carriage and an ox cart in between. They were all very quiet, and it was obvious that the animals had been trained to be very obedient, and they knew what they were supposed to do.

Nangong Sima was about to ask the soldiers to report, but Zhao Xiaomei stopped him, made a wicked smile, walked up to the guards and said, "Get out of the way!" Tell you, sir, to come out! ”

Two guards guarded the door, and the remaining three guards came up with spears aimed at Nangong Sima and Zhao Xiaomei, and the leader said, "Bold!" Who's shouting here, disperse! ”

Zhao Xiaomei said: "We have a background! You won't let us in, be careful of losing your head! ”

"Less scare me! Even if someone comes from the military department, you have to report it by official letter and get approval! If it's a hard break, let's see if you can handle the weapon above your head! ”

Hula, a shooting hole was opened on the gatehouse overhead, and 8 bows and arrows stretched out and aimed at Nangong Sima and Zhao Xiaomei.

The four soldiers behind him rushed up and blocked in front of them, spears in hand, and confronted each other.

Nangong Sima and Zhao Xiaomei stood here to visit and provoke, and the people inside knew without waiting for the report.

The alpaca in my heart hurried out with one of the guards.

The soldier guarding the gate saw the alpaca in his heart and said, "My lord, they are bullying the weak and still breaking in!" ”

In his heart, the alpaca waved his hand and motioned for them to retreat, and Nangong Sima also asked the soldiers in front of him to retreat.

"President! Madam! Said the alpaca in my heart.

The soldiers guarding the door were stunned, they didn't expect their adults to be so polite to this arrogant person, it seems that it is still his genus!

But the soldier guarding the gate was only slightly stunned, and then stood with his head raised and his chest upright, in his opinion, the world is big, but the rules are big, and everything has to be done according to the rules!

Nangong Sima said loudly: "I'm going to come in, this damn soldier still stops me!" Believe it or not, I grabbed and killed you? Are you afraid? If you're afraid, beg for mercy, and I'll probably spare you! ”

The soldier said angrily: "Afraid of you? Hum! You are the king of heaven, and you don't want to enter the door without approval! ”

Nangong Sima was overjoyed, and said angrily to the alpaca in his heart: "How do you manage the department?" What to do with him being so presumptuous? Go, condemn him as you like, and I'll spare you!" ”

The alpaca in his heart already knew his intentions, and said, "The captain of the gatekeeper cannot punish because he has done the right thing." Not only will I not punish him, but I will praise him. ”

As soon as these words came out, the guards guarding the door were all shocked, and they hadn't digested what was going on.

"Haha!" Nangong Sima and Zhao Xiaomei both laughed, and Nangong Sima said: "The goalkeeper captain is commendable, righteous and awe-inspiring, and worthy of praise!" ”

The alpaca in his heart smiled and said, "President, madam, please come inside." ”

The soldiers guarding the gate got out of the way, and the alpaca in his heart took the two into the camp, and visited various facilities and constructions along the way.

Nangong Sima asked: "I think the gatekeeper is good, why don't you promote it!" ”

In his heart, the alpaca asked: "There is no shortage of official positions at present." ”

"It's absolutely fine for him to be in charge of the security of the camp."

"The position is full, and there are people."

Zhao Xiaomei said: "Then you will get another picket brigade directly under you, which will strictly investigate the bad atmosphere and bad phenomena in the army, he must be iron-faced and selfless." ”

The alpaca in my heart said, "Okay, I'll think about it." ”

The three of them walked and watched, Nangong Sima saw that the infrastructure was much better than before, the water was guaranteed, and he also drilled his own well, a special drinking water, and a life.

The canteen, bathhouse, livelihood, medical care, etc. have their own special areas, and the planning of the entire barracks is quite scientific and reasonable. The northwest corner is not yet fully built.

"Because it is next to the big forest, our camp is a few kilometers deeper into the big forest than the original camp, so, as if embedded in the forest, the northwest corner is under construction." Said the alpaca in my heart.

Nangong Sima looked at it and said: "The forest is too close to the wall, how can it be carved out 500 to 1000 meters, if the enemy attacks, such a distance will wait for the soldiers to arm and run to the wall, and the enemy will enter the kitchen to eat." ”

"After the northwest corner is built, the buffer zone around the perimeter of the fence will be expanded to a distance of 1,000 meters, and all the trees and weeds in the middle will be cleared."

"Well, yes, I'll arrange it."

Nangong Sima looked at it as he walked and said, "Is this barracks big enough?" How much does it occupy? ”

The alpaca in his heart said, "It covers an area of 30 acres, which is one-fifth of a district in the city." ”

Nodding, Nangong Sima said, "Do you know what my plan is?" I want you to slowly expand the camp to the south, then to the east and west, and finally, when the people in the city are not looking, I will see that there is another rock city in the southern suburbs, just outside their south gate! ”

The alpaca's eyes jumped in his heart and he said, "What does the president mean...... Well, I see, I'll take care of it. ”

The four of them returned to the room, only to see that everything in it was very rudimentary, except for the furniture and objects.

When I arrived at the office, only Nangong Sima and the alpaca in my heart were left. Zhao Xiaomei rested in the outer hall, and the guard of the alpaca in her heart stood guard outside the door.

Nangong Sima handed him the drawings, explanations and other things made by Yimi, and said, "Look at it, this is the main reason why I came to you." ”

The alpaca in his heart handed Nangong Sima a notebook and said, "This is the accounts of the past three months, I have sorted them out, you can take a look." ”

The two people are like an exchange, you look at me, I look at yours, and they both look seriously.

Nangong Sima saw that on the accounts, the first month was a loss of 30,000 gold coins, the second month was a loss of 10,000 gold coins, and the third month was flat. In other words, the situation is gradually improving.

Looking at the income and expenditure in March, I found that the most profitable ones were the sale of potions, equipment openings, enchantments, and gem sales. Among them, the sale of gems accounted for 40 percent. And these gems are all drawn from Nangong Sima's mine. In other words, this money was not actually created by the Sima Manufacturing Guild, but Nangong Sima's personal wealth.

The biggest expense is salary, more than 200 Sima manufacturing employees account for 10 out of the salary, while the salary of more than 6,000 soldiers accounts for only 3% of the expenditure.

This is a big problem, and how to reduce expenses and increase income is a matter of urgency.

The alpaca in his heart said: "I think you have read it, and you also know that gold coins are a big problem, and if you start building the road now, where will this expenditure come from, and there will be no shortage of manpower." ”

Nangong Sima thought for a while and said, "Last time, I let a friend have had enough of some unidentified equipment, I'll go and take a look, after the appraisal is completed, pick out the openings with good attributes, enchant them, and then sell them for a good price." ”

"In addition, I haven't been back for such a long time, there should be a lot of gems stored in the mailbox, I will bring them again, and all you have left is to process and sell."

"Regarding manpower, I am going to go to the city lord and ask him to release all the prisoners and participate in the construction. And if he needs potions to support the front line, don't we happen to have so many alchemists! ”

"The money from these things should allow us to start our plans to build roads. In addition, you have to send another 1,000 people out and send them to the front village, and if we develop further, we will take people from the village. ”

"Okay, then I'll take care of it." Said the alpaca in my heart.

Bidding farewell to the alpaca in his heart, with Zhao Xiaomei and 4 guards, Nangong Sima quickly whipped into the south gate and entered the Rock City.

Nangong Sima said: "I still have a few things to complete, otherwise you can go back to the guild first!" ”

Zhao Xiaomei reluctantly said: "Okay, that's the only way, then I'll go!" ”

Bidding farewell to Zhao Xiaomei, and letting the 4 guards go to the City Lord's Mansion to wait for him, Nangong Sima walked to the mailbox, opened it and looked,! A mailbox full of ores, this time I made a fortune, probably because of the skill upgrade of the miners, this time a warehouse is full of level 2 and 3 gems! There must be more than 1,000 pieces!

Nangong Sima looked for it, and there were no more colorful gems, but it was a pity that the last time it was given to the city lord for nothing.

I packed a bag of medium-quality gemstones, took 3 single ones, packed them, and put the rest into the package. Nangong Sima walked to the stall area.

He saw Qian Liu's stall, and before he could get to him, Qian Liu found him and said with a smile: "Ha, look, the God of Wealth has arrived!" ”

Nangong Sima smiled: "Laughing wool, what about the equipment I asked you to buy?" How's it going? ”

Qian Liu smiled and said: "How can I be lazy about the things you entrust, now I have received a total of 121 pieces, all of which I think have good attributes and will be more brilliant after identification." Do you want to take it today? ”

Nangong Sima handed him 3 gems and said, "Give them all to me, continue to collect them again, and give you the money when they are sold." ”

"Haha! It's good to say, Sima, you are polite, friendship first, cooperation second! ”
