248 Actions of the parties (medium)
After negotiating the ransom, Duncan left with two escorts. Before leaving, he counted the subordinates who were still alive, less than half of them, the dead would be transported to the mountains three or four kilometers away for burial, although they were enemies, but the mercenaries would still have a certain degree of respect for the dead, as long as they didn't hate each other too much, or there were really special circumstances, otherwise they would gather up the bodies and bury them together.
Ze Longer and his cavalry escorted the prisoners of war away, and before leaving, he persuaded: "Your Excellency Chen Xiantian, although I don't really understand your methods, according to my experience, you reward those guards so generously, not to mention the waste of money, and will also feed the appetite of those people, and it will be difficult to manage them in the future. ”
In his opinion, Chen Xiansong is a genius, a real genius, and attaches great importance to affection, which is a very rare character in the aristocratic class, and the only deficiency is that he does not know much about human feelings, let alone people's hearts.
Hearing this, Chen Xiansong smiled unhurriedly: "It's good to have a good appetite, so who else will hire them besides me, as for the difficulty of management, with Xiaomin and Sister Qianxin here, I don't think I'm afraid of them coming nonsense." Also, on the question of money, according to real economists...... Well, it's good to understand that people who specialize in how to make money, their theory is that money is a thing that needs to be circulated to create value, and if it is only stored at home, then it loses the original purpose of making money. Besides, I'll find a way to get the gold coins that have gone out of the rewards to flow back. ”
Zelonger said that he could not understand this half-tone of plausible economic theory, but he still wrote it down word for word, and planned to write it in the 'genealogy' for future generations to study. He left with a stomach full of doubts and puzzles, and was high on a mountain peak not far away. Chen Zeyi and Chen Guangrong were on the top of the mountain and watched what had just happened in their entirety.
When they received the news of the servant at home, Duncan happened to rush into the Graystone Village with people, they thought that the Graystone Village was suddenly attacked, and they would definitely win, after all, there was a Sun God Servant, and another person suspected of being a Yang God Servant, but they had to lose some of their manpower afterwards, and the result was much beyond their expectations, the group of Graystone Village guards were attacked at the moment. It was true that they were in a state of panic for a short time, but they quickly reacted, and actually forced the other party out of the castle, and only let two or three fish that slipped through the net enter the castle.
This kind of combat power surprised them very much, and Chen Zeyi secretly compared it. If it were his own subordinates who encountered such an attack, they would definitely kill a group of people in the first place. Don't talk back. Whether or not a decent defense can be organized is unknown. But before he could marvel, Bai Qianxin walked out of the castle, they were a little far away from the incident point, standing on the top of the mountain, they could only barely see a white figure, and the result was this white figure. If the slender white dragon wanders through the number of people, they can see the attackers fall quickly one by one, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.
Then there was the city lord's cavalry team that hurried over, but this team could no longer arouse their interest.
The two were silent on the hill for a long time. Then Chen Zeyi said: "Elite soldiers, as well as fierce generals who can ride a thousand, the operation of the Chen family in Heluo has surpassed us too much in the past few hundred years." Thankfully, we sent Thirteen into their house, and now that I think about it, I was really wise. ”
"The thirteenth sister doesn't seem to be facing our family anymore, she has been in Chen Xiansong's house for a while, but she hasn't sent out a single message." Chen Guangrong snorted, he flicked his braids that were blown by the mountain wind, and said with some distraction: "Last time, Chen Xiansong knew such a big thing as making salt, and she didn't have a word from the ward. ”
Chen Zeyi smiled: "Little guy, you don't understand this." If the strength of the two of us is about the same, the thirteenth sister is not facing us, it is really unreasonable. But the problem is that now it is obvious that the Heluo Chen family wants to win too much against us, and the thirteenth sister is devoted to Chen Xiansong, which is a good thing, so that we can make a real marriage relationship, which is the in-laws. ”
"If the enemy can't fight, then cooperate with them. This is written on the genealogy for more than 300 years. Chen Zeyi muttered to himself: "This is Chrysostom's good words for a weak family to survive." Guangrong, you go and prepare some gifts, our neighbor and in-law have such a big thing, we are next to us, even if we don't help, it is very normal, very reasonable, and very affectionate to go and condole. ”
After dealing with the matter at hand, it was almost evening. Alice and Ruth had already made dinner, and the members of the family were sitting together talking and laughing, and the little one was making trouble, Alice was afraid that she would eat too much and get fat, and wanted to limit her amount of food, but the little guy was so aggrieved that he didn't let go.
None of them spoke out about what happened during the day. The women sitting here, except for the two cyborgs, are all aristocratic women, they understand that if a family wants to rise and prosper in the aristocratic class, it is impossible not to go through the baptism of blood and time, and they women only need to manage the internal affairs of the family, and the outside affairs are handled by men, and they don't need to ask too much.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Xiansong suddenly put down his chopsticks, and he said: "During the day, I had an idea to open a tavern in the village by myself, so as to recover the wages of those mercenaries, and at the same time create a place for them to have fun and be happy. Catherine, you used to manage a family, and you should be very good at management, you see that you seem bored at home, and you don't have much to do, why don't you help me manage this tavern that is about to be built? ”
Catherine's eyes lit up at once, she was indeed a little tired of being here. It's not that she doesn't like this place, but when a person really doesn't have to do tasks and has nothing to do, there is always a sense of uneasy emptiness, and Catherine is the same, hearing Chen Xiansong let her do things, she suddenly feels relaxed.
"Are you really going to put me in charge of a tavern?" Catherine's expression was obviously very happy: "But we don't seem to have a source of wine, what should we do?" ”
"Let's brew, I know the principle of the Dao!" Chen Xiansong pointed to his nose: "When the tavern is built, the grain in the field should be harvested, and then we will collect the grain, brew some wine, and buy it in winter." Alcohol that hasn't been matured over time may not taste good, but I don't think the Guardians will mind. ”
Catherine looked at Chen Xiansong a little strangely for a while, and then shook her head helplessly, not long ago when she knew that Chen Xiansong knew how to make salt, she was already surprised, and now she heard him say that he can also make wine, although the impact is not as big as last time, it can be seen from this that Chen Xiansong is indeed a genius, and it is a great blessing for his daughter to study with him.
"You're the man in the family, you have the final say." When Catherine had said this, she began to eat, but anyone could tell that she was happy.
"Huilian, I heard that the food of the Aurora Kingdom is famous all over the world, you know a lot." Chen Xiansong said: "I hope you can train a few chefs, you can't have wine in the tavern without food." Besides, if you become Catherine's deputy, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it alone. ”
Hui Lian looked at Chen Xiansong with some surprise, since Bai Qianxin warned her once some time ago, she felt that she was careful and small, Chen Xiansong would definitely know the way, and she would definitely snub herself for a long time, but she didn't expect that she would have to take power so soon.
Many times, the leader or boss often sends someone to work, not to embarrass or punish him, but to look at him and find a way to train him. The same is true among the aristocracy, the more idle a child is, the less valued his position in the clan is.
"I know that you have been idle lately......" Chen Xiansong noticed that Huilian's expression was a little strange at this time, so he asked, "What's the matter, don't you like this job?"
Hui Lian hurriedly shook her head, and then said: "The dishes I understand are all the dishes of the Aurora Kingdom, mainly vegetarian, this is the Kate Kingdom, I'm afraid they won't be used to it." ”
"That's not up to them." Hearing what Huilian was worried about, Chen Xiansong smiled: "Now there is no tavern in the village, and no one knows how to make wine, as soon as our tavern opens, it is the only tavern within ten miles of this neighborhood, and the monopoly is the best to make money, and it is also the easiest for people to get used to, they drink wine, they must have appetizers, even if they are not used to it at first, if they drink too much, they will definitely get used to it if they eat too much." ”
Although Huilian didn't know what a monopoly was, she understood the general meaning, and then nodded, indicating that she was willing to accept the position of love.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be doing something, Frances, the youngest among the women, was unwilling, she would sit next to Chen Xiansong every time she ate, and this time was no exception, she leaned over, leaned over and asked Chen Xiansong: "Teacher, my mother and every big sister have something to do, but I don't, you can also arrange something for me to do!" ”
"Sith reads a few more books a day and is working." Chen Xiansong said with a smile.
When the little guy heard this, she was not very happy, but she quickly became happy again, put her little face in front of Chen Xiansong, and said, "Teacher, you promised me to kiss me every day today, and now it's night, you have to fulfill your promise." ”
Hearing this, the chopsticks in Catherine's hand fell to the ground.
Chen Xiansong responded: "Okay." Then he smashed the little guy on the forehead and cheek: "Satisfied! ”
When Catherine saw this, she finally put her mind at ease. But she soon had a headache again, for the little one actually said this:
"If only the teacher could kiss me on the lips."
