Xu Zheng couldn't help but laugh secretly as he walked towards the council hall, Belles and Yasangren, both of whom were close to thirty years old, were still fighting like children. However, this also means that the friendship between the two is deep, and both parties are putting aside their estrangement and enjoying the precious friendship. It's heartwarming.

While walking forward, people kept greeting Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng nodded in response. The position of the manor has been given to Hawke, this guy has a desire for power and a talent for management, he likes to do it, let him do it, he is happy to be a happy idler.

But there is no aura of the owner on his head, which does not mean that Xu Zheng's prestige has decreased. In fact, Xu Zheng's reputation is getting higher and higher, as if he is the first person in Aosen Manor. Lead the tribes to this place, give the scattered tribes living on the verge of extinction the hope of tomorrow, start from scratch, and establish Orson Manor. Later, he got acquainted with the dwarf tribe and the elf race, attracted the dwarf race and the demon race, and then came to the imperial capital, united the silver arrow personnel of Hawke, and the Orson Manor was unprecedentedly powerful! Who is better than this boy with the halo of the star of the Aris continent?

Not to mention the nearest Hall of Heroes. It is only the heroes who know the heroes, the heroes are valued, the heroes are loved, and the establishment of the Hall of Heroes is just an ordinary move in Xu Zheng's opinion, but its far-reaching impact has made everyone cherish this teenager more and more, and it is both respect and love. So everywhere he went, there was a lot of cheering and laughter. What's more, this person has no frame, gentle as the wind, although he has a noble halo, he is wearing a cloth shirt sewn by Lucina all the year round, if it weren't for the black hair and black eyes who are too outstanding, he would be an ordinary cloth boy everywhere he goes. This is even more painful and lovely, and the intuition is one of the children of my own family.

Xu Zheng could feel everyone's care. also sincerely reciprocate, along the way, all smiles. The handsome face is written with a warm breeze, warm and pleasant.

But. Xu Zheng smiled with a spring breeze on his face, but he actually had a little trouble in his heart. This is because under Hawke's management, the entire estate infrastructure has been almost completed, and the railroad and road to the West Cape of Good Hope have been paved. Although construction of the East Cape of Good Hope has not yet begun, thanks to Hawke's high efficiency, rail and road connections have been made there. At the same time, the basic living buildings in the manor have almost been completed, the roads in the place are all there, and the square-shaped plan of the manor has been revealed. Something like a carpenter's workshop, a windmill, a mill, a dwelling, etc. Simple intra-estate trade also began to take place, and each family exchanged what it produced for what it produced in other households, and the place of life needed it.

At the same time, the dwarves are digging deep beneath the Orson Manor, and the size of the dungeon is still far from the same, but digging a big hole is real. The demon guys are also uneasy, and they can't find anything to do after being idle for a long time, so they also go to help the dwarves dig holes. It's like a ground rat who is halfway home---- they can't get the sun anyway. Shrinking under the ground and making a fuss, one by one is very happy. excavated dirt and rocks. Either for laying farmland or for building houses. That's a lot of savings.

As far as the whole situation is concerned, the manor has begun to get on the right track, and life, trade, and internal economic circulation are all beginning to take shape.

However, the overall standard of living is not rich, and to be honest, everyone is still very poor, except for relying on the mountains and water. Most of the monthly salaries are used to buy food, because the amount of production in Orson Manor itself is seriously insufficient, and the small amount of production plus the help of dwarfs and elves, the real important source of land is still from the acquisition of the West Good Corner. The grain was purchased from the Cape of Good Hope in West and sold to the people in the farm, without making a penny in between. So to put it bluntly, the whole situation is still that Xu Zheng, Bruce, and Hawke are still paying money to subsidize the land of all the people in the manor, including salaries and other expenses.

For this, Hawk and Bruce are already in a hurry in the line of fire, and a lot of money is invested in infrastructure construction, which is only in and out, large-scale construction, and they have spent the money to a lot, and if they don't think about it, they have to tighten their belts to get by. No matter how much money you have, you can't afford to spend so much money that you can't get in and out, so you have to find a way to do it quickly.

Now that life has been initially stabilized, how to let everyone start earning money and live a better life is what Xu Zheng is most concerned about.

Planting, of course. Already people are starting to reclaim the land for planting. It is a fact that the country is based on agriculture, and all life is inseparable from it, but it is too slow for people to live a good life faster. Brewing, industry, the development of a combination of magic and science and technology to improve people's lives, etc., Xu Zheng has a way, but these do not conform to the status quo, Xu Zheng has already suffered the loss of eagerness, and more and more realize that it is not realistic to do this now, and it will only get worse and worse if you want to ascend to heaven in one step.

Xu Zheng is thinking hard about whether there is any way that is closely related to people's lives, can further improve people's lives, and can also make everyone make money. This requirement seems to be a bit high, but Xu Zheng believes that it is not nothing, but he has not thought about it yet.

So while thinking about it, I smiled at the people's greetings and walked slowly towards the council hall.

"Hey, Xu Zheng!" a sturdy Terran boy grabbed Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng grinned: "Hi, Brown." ”

Blanc grabbed him: "Don't rush to go yet, you have to tell me what the defenders are before expanding the recruitment." ”

Xu Zheng scratched his scalp: "I don't know, you have to ask Xiao Chu or Notting, they are in charge of this." However, the number of people is enough at present, and it seems unlikely that the expansion of enrollment will be possible. ”

The young man salivated and smiled: "Help, tell Xiao Chu together, he won't listen to your words." I don't ask for anything, just give me a chance to take the exam!"

"Why do you want to be a defender so much?"

Blanc said: "Of course I want to be! The defenders are very majestic, and I also want to protect my home." The young man slapped his chest loudly: "Believe me, if I can pass the exam, I will definitely be a qualified defender!"

"I believe it. Xu Zheng said with a smile.

"Really?" said Brown, who was amused, "Don't coax me." Just give me a chance, I can prove myself. When Uncle Orson was teaching swordsmanship, I had been practicing it seriously! But I didn't practice your women's self-defense technique, and it was too shameful for a man to practice that. ”

"When did my dad teach swordsmanship?"

Bronn sneered a little embarrassedly: "When he taught Xiaohu and the little sapling, I kept watching and learning secretly. It doesn't matter, do you? Don't tell Uncle Orson, I'm afraid he'll be angry. ”

"Angry? My dad wasn't that stingy. Xu Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you like to learn swordsmanship?"

Blanc nodded busily: "Yes! Many of my friends like it!"

Xu Zheng's heart moved, young people like to be lively and active, as if there is nothing wrong with opening another martial arts course. In the distance, it can strengthen the body, and in the near future, it can enhance the strength of the manor, and the militia principle that the people are the people and the war is for the soldiers in the leisure time is further strengthened.

At the moment, he nodded and smiled: "My father is a person who has no patience, let him teach you seriously and estimate that he is unwilling, and his patience is given to those little dolls." Why don't you go ask the bald York, he has learned martial arts from me, anyway, he is too idle all this time, so I will let him teach you some martial arts...... Uh, the skills of the martial artists, how about asking the knight captain Agasi to teach you sword skills, and the elf Alfonso to teach you some elven bows and arrows?"

Blanc was overjoyed and said happily: "Great! You know, we don't know how to learn dwarf literacy, manufacturing technology or anything, and we don't like it very much, but we like to learn combat skills, but no one teaches us, so it's great!"

Xu Zheng smiled and said that he understood that this was like a top student in sports and a top student in cultural studies, each with their own strengths and hobbies, and they couldn't be forced. Instead of drawing the same frame to limit their development, so that everyone is like being cast in the same mold, it is better to let them play their own hobbies and play their own role in what they are good at.

Blanc rubbed his hands together with joy and hurried to his mother to show off. Xu Zheng saw that Brown's mother was boiling something in an iron pot, so he walked over in curiosity.

Seeing Xu Zheng coming, Brown's mother hurriedly asked her son to move a stool for Xu Zheng to sit on. Xu Zheng didn't sit, he held a stool like a puppy in front of the iron pot, and looked at the things boiling in the pot interestingly.

Brown's mother looked at Xu Zheng and only thought that this child was really funny, so she said, "Xiao Zheng, what are you looking at?"

Xu Zheng said, "Aunt Leni, what are you doing?" Leni continued to add water to the pot, stirring and saying, "Boil salt." ”

"Boil salt?" Xu Zheng's heart moved, and he asked, "What are you doing with boiling salt?"

Leni looked at her funny: "Silly boy, don't boil salt, what should I do when I usually eat salt?"

Xu Zheng asked puzzledly: "Didn't you transport salt from the Cape of Good Hope West?"

Leni said: "Yes, yes, but this thing is not cheap, and I have to use it at any time, I am reluctant to buy it with money, I use the money to buy food, and when I am idle, I boil salt by myself, one can use it myself, and the other can also exchange some other things with my neighbors." I'm not good at female workers, but when I lived in a fishing village, I learned to boil salt by myself, and I was able to supplement my household a little bit in normal times. ”

Xu Zheng scratched his scalp and smiled embarrassedly. He lives with Orson, including the fat cat and the little monster Furball, who usually eat and drink and are taken care of by Abel and Jenny, but he never thinks about these problems, and he doesn't realize where the salt he eats comes from.

"Make your own salt, isn't it troublesome?"

"It's not troublesome, it's just that the yield is low, and the quality of the production is not good, you can see it by looking at it. Brown, show Xu Zheng what I did first. ”

Blanc answered, and went into the house to get salt. To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, UC eBook Chinese network, more chapters, support authors, support UC eBook!)
