After returning to Badaling, Jiajing sorted out his thoughts and began to plan what he would do in the future.

After staying with Yanmei for a while, in this kind of day of affection and love, Jiajing gradually found that his hatred for Muhande and Poly Zongsi had actually faded a lot, "Gentle Township is the grave of iron-blooded men" is really not wrong at all, Jiajing even thought that he would simply be happy with Yanmei and live a life without quarrel.

The distillery has formed a scale, and many of the workers in charge of distillation are orphans and vagabonds who have signed contracts, never paying attention to the outside world, and working there every day without much management.

Those soldiers were trained and managed by the Punnard brothers and the veteran Allady, and their training method was based on the Tyrant Bear brothers as the vice-president, and Alladay as the positive.

It is said that Alladier is the commander of the empire, a high-level warrior of black iron, with real talent and learning, and later because he offended the people above, he was forced to leave the army, Jiajing saw that his management of soldiers was very good, three hundred soldiers listened to his command and could actually lay down several formations, the door is exquisite, and with the brutal strength of the Punar brothers to assist in training, the effect complements each other.

When Alladay saw Jiajing returning, he sent him two deputies, knowing that Jiajing did not trust him very much. But this is also human nature, after all, no master would leave the soldier who protects his life in the hands of an unfamiliar person. He originally thought that Jiajing was going to send someone to replace him, but now that Jiajing still let him be the captain, he was moved and decided to work harder to train the army, so as to be recognized by Jiajing as soon as possible.

In addition to the tavern and soldiers, the last thing is the construction of Badaling. Jiajing seriously thought about it for a night, and felt that although the terrain of Badaling was dangerous, it was only for ground attacks, and their air defense capability was still weak. At present, it seems that a single air force can put Badaling in a dangerous situation. Although the large-scale air force is only available to the regular army of the Empire, and Jiajing never thought that he would be an enemy of the Empire, no one can say which bandit gang may have hidden a small air force.

As for the formation of the Air Force, it is also unlikely for Jiajing. There are not many types of Warcraft that can become aerial war beasts, requiring extremely strong load capacity and continuous flight ability, so far, the only Air Force War Beasts developed by the mainland are lions and herons, Pegasus, Chimera, Thunderbirds, and giant locusts, these Warcraft belong to the state-controlled strategic materials, and private transactions are not allowed, even if you have a lot of money, it is difficult to buy.

Of course, if there is demand, there will be a market, and Jiajing is now among the upper class, so naturally there are channels to get it, but even if Jiajing buys a lion heron, he will not dare to develop the air force on a large scale, at most a hundred to the top, and any more will have to suffer from the imperial crusade.

Jiajing thought about it, and finally decided to buy some crossbow arrows and form a special force for air fighting. At the same time, he also decided to hire more miners in order to mine more ore.

His idea was not to make money by mining, after all, it seemed that no matter how many mineral deposits there were in Badaling, the profit would not be comparable to that of the distillery, unless he could dig out the rare and rare mineral resources of gold veins and spar veins.

The reason why she made this plan is because the caves that Yan Mei said are very strong, and there is absolutely no problem for the residents, and the scale of Badaling is very large, and it is not a problem to dig thousands of caves. In case the enemy attacks and forcibly attacks Badaling, the soldier can also hide in the cave, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and attack the enemy with bows and arrows.

Compared with the tunnels buried underground, the mine cave has many unique features, and it is not afraid of flooding and burying the earth.

Only if you are strong enough can you better protect the people you care about, as well as yourself.

In order to protect his relatives and himself, Jiajing has to plan thoughtfully for the future, even if he and Cafirot turn their faces in the future, they have the capital to protect themselves.

The diameter of the foot of Badaling is four or five kilometers, and the height is 500 meters, which looks small, but it is really used, the area has to be several times larger, and the workers pick up a large amount of soil, plant grain, and raise livestock, which is enough to facilitate the self-sufficiency of more than 3,000 people, and can also dig a ring-shaped deep ditch at the foot of the mountain and introduce the water of the nearby river as a mountain moat.

However, this project is very huge, just digging a river around the mountains is about 10 kilometers, even if it is not deep or wide, at least thousands of people have to work day and night for a whole year, and we must not be in a hurry.

Jiajing knew that cultivating the Heavenly Fury was not an overnight thing, so he discussed with Yan Mei the next day and decided to recruit people to excavate the ore first, and at the same time consciously opened up several mine caves that had been excavated to establish a dwelling in the mountain.

Yihong's generous salary was well known, so Jiajing quickly recruited more than 300 young adults and began his mining business.

Before I knew it, another half a month had passed.

Picking the stars gradually became calmer, and Vilia, who was already the leader of the bandit alliance near the picking, secretly came to Badaling to visit Jiajing - now Jiajing is also a famous nobleman, and he can't openly meet with Vilia, the bandit leader, again.

Jiajing and he met in the mine.

There are no miners digging in this mine, but Yan Mei and Renault live, a total of five or six caves have been dug, and the layout is quite good, and Jiajing is now moving here to live with Yan Mei.

Vilia was the same as Jiajing when they first met, not much had changed, he still had a dazzling red hair, and when he saw Jiajing, he laughed and said, "Brother Jiajing, I saw a lot of workers when I first came. Why didn't my brother buy some slaves and come back, it was much more cost-effective than hiring workers, and the eldest was a living person, and even a strong Kasia warrior would only cost a dozen gold coins. ”

Jiajing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm not used to recruiting slaves, maybe I'll be cut off by slaves at any time." By the way, Vilia, long time no see, how are you lately?"

Vilia's eyebrows fluttered and she replied loudly: "It's good! Of course, it's all stained with my brother's light, those merchants are waiting in line for us to collect protection money, hahaha! Brother's wine is really good, take me two bottles of Biluo Chun to taste, that thing really fucking tastes!"

As she spoke, Vilia suddenly rattled and laughed twice, and whispered to Jiajing mysteriously: "Brother, if you give me a jar of Biluochun, I will tell you a big secret, make sure you are interested!"

Jiajing was stunned: "What secret?"

Vilia smiled treacherously and said, "That's it, hehe, brother, I can tell you, our alliance just did a lot of bad work, lost a lot of manpower, and killed the slave catcher team of the Indian Calnia family, guess what we gained?"

Seeing Vilia so mysterious, Jiajing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you get?"

Vilia laughed and lowered her voice again: "The fucking slave hunting team actually caught a mermaid, a sea dragon warrior, and two swordfish warriors! This is a powerful race of the Sea Clan, especially that mermaid, it is really beautiful! It is so tempting to lock it firmly with a big iron box! I just don't know if my brother is interested, I can sell it to you at a low price! Alas! If this was not done with the alliance, I really want to keep her for my own enjoyment, and all the good things will be taken up by Brother Jiajing!"

"Mermaid?" Jiajing remembered that he had seen the sea monster at the bottom of the sea at the beginning of the day, and couldn't help but have a cold war, and muttered twice with a wry smile: "That's also good......-looking?

Vilia couldn't help but be a little strange when she saw Jiajing's reaction: "Won't it? Brother, it's not good-looking? Haven't you seen a mermaid? These sea tribes can leave the sea for a long time, but the time can't be too long, usually they have to soak in the sea water for a few hours or so a week, otherwise they will die if they lack water for a long time, and it is because of this that the sea tribe cannot invade the Western Regions continent on a large scale." ”

"I've seen mermaids, and they look too shabby, and I don't like that. Jiajing waved his hand again and again.

How do you know that Vilia grabbed his arm: "No, brother, you must go and see me, if you don't fall in love with her, I will return Bi Luo Chun to you immediately!"

He suddenly turned straight face, and then admonished: "But brother, you must not publicize it, it's good that our brothers know about this matter, then the Innia family is powerful, and it is not easy to provoke." ”

Jiajing secretly thought that the mermaids were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and Vilia was talking about the same good-looking ones on TV, so he nodded, and asked by the way: "This is natural, is there anything strange about the swordfish warriors and the sea dragon warriors?"

Vilia pretended to be mysterious and said, "When you see it, you will know that the sea dragon warriors are of the same rank as the whale warriors among the sea clans. Although the size is not as huge as the whale warrior, it is born with the ability to summon sea dragon beasts, and in terms of strength, I am afraid that it is a little stronger than the whale warriors! Although the swordfish warrior is slightly inferior to the sea dragon warrior, it is also a powerful sea clan that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the shark warrior. The slave catching team of the Indian family is famous in the mainland, and the strength is very strong, the slave catching team of more than three hundred people, with two golden warriors and five or six mages, if it weren't for the capture of the royal mermaid and the warrior who protected her, the strength was greatly damaged, and we didn't dare to take the opportunity to start, hehe, I heard that they also killed one of the shark warriors, that is really amazing, hehehe. ”

Hearing Vilia praise them like this, Jiajing couldn't help but be curious: "So, I'd better go and take a look, I don't know what price they are on the mainland?"

Vilia saw that Jiajing was finally willing to buy it, and then smiled: "The royal mermaid and the sea dragon warrior are extremely rare to be auctioned on the mainland, but the shark warrior was sold once, and I heard that it was three thousand gold coins." ”

Jiajing shook his head with a bitter face: "Vilia, then I can't afford it." ”

Vilia glared for a moment: "Who wants to buy you as a slave, except for the great nobles who are far away from the sea, who dares to ask for this sought-after goods, and it is also the royal mermaid of the Sea Clan! Not afraid of the revenge of the Sea Clan? The Sea Clan has been blessed by the high-level sea priest to leave the water barrier, but he can leave the sea for sixty days! There are also many sea tribe monsters, they all have amphibious skills, and it is very simple to send a few masters to retaliate." And this was snatched from the Invenia family, if it is found out, we will have to face the revenge of the Invenia family. ”

Jiajing smiled bitterly: "Then you still said that you sold it to me, didn't you want to kill me?"

Vilia smiled and said: "Of course not, we sold them to my brother, not to be slaves, we saved them from the slave hunting team, why should they pay us! Tell you, this is a hot item, and at the same time a great treasure, I don't know if you have the courage to do this, brother. ”

"Can't you trade directly with the Sea Clan?"

Vilia glanced at Jiajing: "We robbers trade with the Sea Clan, I'm afraid that before we reach the territory of the Sea Clan, we will be taken by the border guards, and the Sea Clan is not a good lord to get along with, even if we are destroyed, the empire will not care about our life or death." The elder brother has a knighthood, and the sea clan can't ignore it, and use the treasures they don't need to exchange for mermaids and sea dragon warriors, and they naturally won't easily leave the sea to provoke a war. The other thing is that this is not my Vilia's property alone, if it is not cheap, brother is not cheap, and others can't do it? If my brother buys it, remember that my Veria is a credit!"

Jiajing was still a little jealous, worried that he would be discovered by the Indian Nian family and cause those unnecessary troubles, but then he thought of the oil tanker that was still sinking in the deep sea, where there might be a way to leave this world, and the guns in the oil tanker, if they could be transferred to Badaling, he would have more ability to protect himself, in case he could really get the help of the Sea Clan in the future, it was not impossible to drag the oil tanker up, so he nodded and said, "When will we go and see." But then again, I don't have much money. ”

Vilia patted Jiajing on the shoulder: "Don't worry, will my big brother still cheat you?" We'll go now, you know, it's not easy for me to come all the way to you." ”

Jiajing nodded, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, Vilia, is there any way you can get a batch of crossbows?"

Vilia was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, and smiled: "My brother really wants to make this Badaling not a drop of water? In the future, I will come, I'm afraid I won't dare to fly in, alas! Only a rich person like you will not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to transform Badaling, of course there is no problem with crossbow arrows, we have a lot of stock, I don't know how much my brother needs?"

These robbers don't know how many small armies they have looted, and those military supplies such as crossbows are not easy to get rid of, and they have been hoarded by them all the time, Jiajing needs it now, and Vilia naturally welcomes it.

Jiajing thought for a moment: "Two hundred strong crossbows, forty thousand crossbow arrows." Is there any?"

Villa couldn't tell how many crossbows the Tempest Knights had, but he thought that the number should be enough: "This is no problem, I'll go back and say hello to them, how about ten gold and one crossbow arrow, five crossbow arrows and one silver?"

Jiajing knew that Vilia would not pit herself, and even if she wanted to, she would not pit herself in such a small matter, so she nodded and agreed: "There is no problem with this, but you have to give it to me as soon as possible." ”

Vilia smiled happily: "Okay, that's it, I'll send it to you in a few days! Let's go, brother, let's go see the mermaid!"

Jiajing looked at Ville's anxious look, which matched his dazzling red hair very well, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you when I finish explaining some things." ”

At that moment, Jiajing explained to Yan Mei about hiring a large number of laborers to dig up the mountain, and sent someone to call Maidil of Star City to recruit a hundred private soldiers to train to become crossbowmen, so he rode his silver Pegasus with Vilia and quietly left Badaling.

The living standards of the civilians in Star Picking City are not high, and a large number of residents are below the poverty line, and when they knew that Yihong was recruiting people to develop Badaling, a large number of residents immediately came to sign up.

Yan Mei knew that the disaster of war had begun.
