Chapter 702: Be well prepared

Since the emperor allocated another 500 slaves to Yu Wenze, the two of them left the palace, so they naturally had to go to the slave division first, so that they could select the newly obtained 500 slaves and take them away together.

It's a pity that there is no time for Zhang Xiaoxue to waste here, otherwise he can take the opportunity to give some boiled potatoes to the slaves to help Yu Wenze choose slaves and get some wishing items.

On second thought, you can wait until you're transporting them to the border, and then give them some potatoes from the farm.

That might be able to get some love points from them.

With the Giant Wolf of the Woods on their way, it certainly took them a short time to get to the Slave Division.

The person in charge over there also helped pick out the male slaves who looked relatively strong.

It's just to open up the wasteland and farm, except for good health, there is nothing else to pick and choose.

Yu Wenze also asked symbolically, which of them didn't know how to farm, and no one made a sound, which naturally means that they are no strangers to farming.

Yu Wenze happily explained to the person in charge here, and sent the five hundred slaves selected to the location where the previous batch of slaves were.

They wasted no time walking slowly with the slaves, and thought of going to the blacksmith shop to buy some farming tools for cultivating the wasteland.

This time, there were a thousand slaves who needed to use agricultural tools, and such a large number of tools would definitely not be available in a blacksmith's shop.

So the two of them didn't have to bother, and they basically finished shopping the few blacksmith shops they knew in the imperial city, and the farm tools they collected were still a little worse.

Just when she decided to buy the iron plough in the blacksmith shop, Zhang Xiaoxue suggested that she should go back to the county town and buy the new iron plough she designed.

The remaining farm tools that are not enough can also go back to the blacksmith shop in the county town, and then see if you can definitely make up some of them.

If there are still shortcomings, it won't be too much trouble to have an RV to get around anyway, and at most in other towns, you can visit a few more blacksmith shops.

Regarding Zhang Xiaoxue's suggestion, Yu Wenze certainly would not put forward different opinions.

The new type of iron pear designed by Sister Xiaoxue is indeed doubling the efficiency of cultivating land, and the county town is slowly becoming popular.

However, the new iron plough has not yet been popularized in the imperial city, and it is estimated that it will be soon.

After the two of them had finished visiting the blacksmith shop in the imperial city, they thought that a thousand slaves were clearing the land on the border, and they also had to provide food and shelter.

Although it was decided to turn the reclaimed wasteland into military land, it was certain that people from the army would have to manage it at that time.

However, it is better to solve the temporary food and housing problems of these slaves at the same time, so as not to trouble the army on the border first.

Therefore, they not only entered the grain and oil shops again, but also bought a lot of cornmeal, sorghum flour and other cheaper coarse grains, and even oil, salt and other condiments, but also did not forget to buy some of them.

Thinking that cooking could not be done without kitchen utensils such as pots and shovels, I returned to the blacksmith shop and bought two large iron pots and ten kitchen knives.

Seeing the axes next to him, Yu Wenze bought a few more axes, so that those slaves could use them for chopping wood.

The two of them also went to a grocery store, and basically collected all the bowls, plates, chopsticks, wooden basins, and barrels in their store, and gathered enough for a thousand sets of things for eating and some odds and ends.

"Hee-hee, there shouldn't be anything missing now, right?"

Out of the door of the grocery store, Zhang Xiaoxue asked with a smile, feeling that the preparations were sufficient.

"It should be gone, let's think about it in detail enough, if you don't have Sister Xiaoxue by your side, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it so completely.

Let's go, let's pick up the slaves and go to the border. ”

Let Zhang Xiaoxue accompany him to walk around the shops in the imperial city, this trivial and crazy shopping mode, Yu Wenze really felt tired, of course, not to say that he was physically tired, but to be tired.

I thought that if there was such a thing next time, I would leave it to someone else to do it.

This kind of thing, Yu Wenze doesn't want to experience it personally at all.

However, looking at Zhang Xiaoxue next to her, she still looked excited and smiling, Yu Wenze couldn't help but sigh, this man and woman are really different.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't know what Yu Wenze was thinking, she didn't resist shopping at all, but was really excited.

This kind of thing you like, don't worry about the lack of money in your hand, and the feeling of directly paying for it is very cool, this kind of small citizen's mind, Zhang Xiaoxue embodies it vividly.

When they arrived at the place where the slaves were staying, they saw that the newly selected slaves had also arrived.

Yu Wenze directly asked the person in charge here to point them to a large courtyard with a back door.

Let all the slaves go to the courtyard, and let the people outside the courtyard arrange guards to prevent people from entering the courtyard.

"The ban on this yard will be lifted by tomorrow morning. ”

The person in charge here naturally did not disobey Yu Wenze's words, and quickly agreed.

And ensure that no one will enter the yard, and people will be arranged to keep vigil in shifts at night.

said to the people here that they should also guard outside the door at night, Yu Wenze was noncommittal.

He didn't know how many trips he would have to make to get all these slaves to the border, so he didn't refuse the arguments of the people here.

When Yu Wenze finally entered the courtyard, he asked the guards outside the gate to close the courtyard door and asked them to promise that no one was allowed to peep into the courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze were the last to enter the courtyard, and when they saw more than a thousand slaves standing in the courtyard, they spontaneously divided into three gangs.

The smallest part of the slaves is, of course, the seventy slaves under Zhang Xiaoxue's name.

Their mental outlook was the best of this group of slaves.

When I heard Zhang Xiaoxue tell them, I had to take them home.

So these seventy people, when Zhang Xiaoxue asked them to go back and get their respective items, they all changed into new clothes made in the past two days.

They had long heard from their masters that the slaves in the house had new clothes to wear, and that they would never go hungry every day as long as they worked well.

These slaves have been staying here for the past two days, although because of Yu Wenze's orders to the people here, they can eat enough every day.

In the past two days, they have actually lived in a situation that they could not have imagined when they were in the slave division.

However, the master bought cloth and asked several female slaves to make new clothes for them to wear.

With so much fabric, in addition to making a new set of clothes for each person, the remaining fabrics can also make a change of clothes for each person.

They were already looking forward to going to their master's house.
