Chapter 555: Eccentric
Because of this expedition, the eyes of the entire Northland were attracted to the past......
At the same time, a large amount of material and manpower and logistical baggage, the tide generally poured towards the border towns.
At this time, the track laying personnel sent out by the Flying Fox Trail, with the help of the local garrison and the people, quickly laid the ironwood track that connected several important points and was thousands of miles long, saving great trouble for the increasingly large logistics and heavy transportation.
In the past, logistics and heavy transportation had to be completed by a large number of pack horses.
But no matter how convenient the pack horse is, it needs to consume a lot of grain and forage, and it needs to be taken care of by special personnel, and the utilization efficiency is not as great as imagined.
But the situation of rail transit is different, the materials that two pack horses can drag are dozens of times larger than their own load, and the speed is quite fast.
Whether it is to transport goods or people, it is quite convenient.
The general of the Northland Border Army saw the effect of rail transit, and immediately had the idea of covering the track in the entire Northland.
"Is there so much ironwood?"
Listening to the news brought by the messenger, that is, one of the sisters-in-law, Chen Ying looked playful, and said angrily: "It's not so ironwood, and it can be done with steel!" ”
As the sister-in-law of the messenger, she was embarrassed, she didn't use such a cheap material as ironwood, but she had to use expensive steel, so there was nothing wrong with her brain.
"So, the final thing for now is to plant ironwood!"
With his hands spread, Chen Ying said angrily: "When you have a sufficient amount of materials, it's not too late to continue laying tracks!" ”
As the name suggests, this thing is as hard as steel.
The growing environment is not very picky, but the production speed and cutting are a bit difficult, after all, the hardness of the trees is there.
In the hinterland of the Great Snow Mountain, there is enough iron and wood, but which force dares to fight the idea there?
As for ironwood elsewhere, the amount is acceptable, but not enough to lay a track covering the entire Northland.
Just kidding, the entire area of the Northland is almost a million square kilometers.
Although most of the terrain is flat and easy to lay ironwood tracks, there are not so many ironwood resources in the north.
Chen Ying knows a lot about ironmaking and steelmaking technology, although it is naturally inferior to the iron and steel factories of the modern period, but it is not a problem to supply track laying on a large scale.
Northland is quite rich in resources, and there are enough iron ore and coal mines.
It's just that steel has always been an important strategic resource, and his identity is more sensitive, so it's better not to take out the technology of steelmaking and ironmaking.
Chen Ying didn't want to be paid special attention to by the royal family, and then he was constantly being watched on his life, and that life was not very easy.
In other words, in fact, he is quite satisfied with the current Great Qi Empire, which is in a period of prosperity, whether it is the royal family or the court, it is relatively normal.
All parts of the country are quite stable, and unless something drastic happens, the stability of the Great Qi Empire can be maintained for at least a few decades.
During the reign of the current emperor, there will be no major twists and turns......
Speaking of which, the feudal dynasty is not good at this, the stability of the country is all tied to one person, and it is easy to cause chaos.
But at the moment, Chen Ying has no idea of going against the Great Qi Empire.
In any case, he was a member of the ruling class at this time, enjoying the great benefits of the ruling class, and he had no ambition to expand for the time being.
As for the hegemony, until the situation in the Overworld is thoroughly figured out, forget it.
It is said that the Great Qi Empire, a powerful empire that will exceed tens of millions of square kilometers, is a small country in the remote part of the main world.
When he heard the news, the shock in his heart can be imagined!
Coupled with the knowledge that has been passed down since ancient times, as long as there is no problem with the brain, you will know that the water in the main world is deep.
This is also the main reason why many of his methods are hidden and not taken out.
……
On the other side, the 150,000 troops who went out to conquer outside the fortress ran rampant, at least before killing the White Bear Tribe, they did not encounter any strong resistance, or difficult opponents.
As the commander of the army, the eldest prince is naturally high-spirited, and his henchmen have also emerged.
Whether it is staying in the rear to supervise the logistics of grain and grass transportation, or liaising with the existence of all parties, they are all high-spirited and not excited.
It seems that the eldest prince will be able to achieve a big victory on this trip.
No, this is such a remote territory as the Flying Fox Trail, and a place that has nothing to do with the direction of the army's departure, has been dispatched with several envoys.
The purpose is also very simple, and the production of Flying Fox Trail is still very competitive.
In particular, the low- and medium-grade pills that have been able to be industrially produced are an important part of the logistics supply of the army.
Ahem,......, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the eldest prince's move is a bit of a suspicion of fake public benefit.
It's just that the commander of the eldest prince gave enough money to go to the army, and the military expenses were all allocated by the imperial court, which had little to do with the Flying Fox Path.
As long as the money is in place, who is it not sold to?
As a result, during the period when the army led by the Great Prince went out to conquer outside the Saiwai, almost eighty percent of the low-grade elixirs produced by Flying Fox Trail were purchased by the army.
For a time, the price of low-grade pills soared, but it did not have much impact on ordinary people, and there was no movement.
The existence of the elixir is basically a martial artist with a certain strength.
Most of the pills produced by Flying Fox Trail are also aimed at martial artists, some improve the true qi power, some increase the energy of qi and blood, or have a strengthening effect on certain parts of the body, and so on.
As for life-saving pills, there are also them, but there are not many of them.
Flying Fox Trail has a complete medical system, mainly because there are many martial artists, and it is quite successful in external and internal injuries, and it is easy to form a strong medical system.
In addition, Flying Fox Trail has formed an industrial food processing industry, such as milk powder, candy and dried fruits, as well as a variety of cooked food products, all of which are continuously sent to the front-line army as a military procurement project.
In addition, the eldest prince and his subordinates are naturally also the master resources of the Flying Fox Path, and naturally they also have the intention of soliciting and wooing.
So, after the eldest prince set out on the expedition, he sent two envoys to stay in the Flying Fox Trail to keep an eye on these things.
Chen Ying was noncommittal about this, since the eldest prince sent someone over, then he would entertain him well, and the others didn't have to care too much.
However, among the two envoys, a guy named Ji Jun, who was born in Dingzhou, caught his attention slightly.
It's not how powerful the strength of the third runner-up is, and the level of the late congenital stage is okay, but that's it.
The main thing is that the experience of this guy is very good for luck, and to put it bluntly, it is a son of luck similar to Ling Feng.
It is rumored that this guy was born poor, and he was really poor, even inferior to a mountain hunter like Ling Feng.
It is also at the moment of the revival of the aura, through all kinds of adventures, big or small, that he broke free from the farm and became an amazing young master.
At present, he is only in his early thirties, and he has reached the level of the late congenital stage, which is already quite impressive.
This guy used to be in Dingzhou, and he has always been a loose cultivator, but this time when the prince passed by Dingzhou and gathered 10,000 Dingzhou people, this guy suddenly took the initiative to defect.
The strange thing is that this guy did not defect to the eldest prince, but to Ling Feng, who followed the eldest prince.
According to his words, Knife Crazy Ling Feng is a well-known hero in the Northland, and he has admired it for a long time, and now that he has the opportunity to take refuge, he naturally has no words.
This guy is quite clever and acts quite boldly, which is very valued by Ling Feng.
It is estimated that Ling Feng saw his previous shadow from this guy.
Therefore, when the third runner-up and another companion were sent to the Flying Fox Trail, they carried a letter of recommendation written by Ling Feng to Chen Ying, asking Chen Ying to take good care of one or two.
This guy has a relationship with Ling Feng, and Chen Ying will naturally take a few more looks.
It's just that for some reason, the feeling that the third runner-up gave him was always a little weird.
Especially when they met for the first time, he could still clearly recall this guy, and the undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
It gave him the feeling that he Chen Ying shouldn't be the Lord of the Flying Fox Path, and he shouldn't even appear in front of him.
It's just that such a strange mood quickly subsided, and Chen Ying didn't see more clues.
Although he felt a little weird, Chen Ying didn't pay much attention to it......
No matter who it is, the first time to come to Flying Fox Trail, it is indispensable to be shocked, and the mood of the third runner-up this time is a little strange, and it is not a big deal.
It is impossible for him to carry out secret knowledge and investigation against the other party because of such a matter, he doesn't have so many resources and no thoughts.
As long as the third runner-up is honest and settles down in the Flying Fox Trail and abides by the rules of the Flying Fox Trail, the others don't need to be ignored.
At present, the Flying Fox Trail, the population is approaching 100,000, and it is a prosperous and noisy place in the Northland, how can you be in the mood to pay attention to the strangeness of a messenger?
At this time, the third runner-up, who was defined by Chen Ying as a little eccentric, was sitting in a community tavern somewhere outside Taniguchi City, and asked for a quiet corner to sit alone, muttering to himself while eating and drinking.
"No, the Flying Fox Trail should be desolate at this time, how can it develop so bustling and noisy?"
"And Chen Ying, the lord of the Flying Fox Path, shouldn't he be a well-known gentleman in the Northland City, who did all kinds of evil and finally fell into the hands of the knife madness Ling Feng, and was finally cut in two by Ling Feng and died, how can he still be alive?"
"The weirdest thing is that Knife Crazy Ling Feng has been wandering around in the Northland all the time, when did he go to the imperial capital to follow the eldest prince, isn't he known as a powerful killer, and he can't pee in a pot with the powerful at all?"
"Also, the eldest prince's expedition to the outside of the fortress was not so smooth, there were many accidents during the period, and he even suffered a defeat soon after leaving the fortress, but now it is ......"
"What's the difference, how do you feel like the world is all messed up right now?"
For some reason, Ji Jun's eating and drinking movements stopped, grabbing his hair so that he was not distressed, his eyes were blank and at a loss, and he obviously encountered an incomprehensible dilemma......
