As the saying goes: a general who can't plant a tree is not a good general. (Utterance of Shuke)

What Shuck does these days is planting trees, yes, planting trees. All the coolie work in Hanxi Lake is done by goblins, and the technical work is done by professionals, so these soldiers have nothing to do, and they can only plant trees and play in their spare time. Ying Zihan sent people to send seeds and seedlings of the Suosuo tree for them to plant, of course, this is not an order, just do what you can, and Ying Zihan is not lacking this bit of land.

Beta is very similar to Ying Zihan in one aspect, so Ying Zihan arranged him here. Beta fully volatilizes the surplus value of all people. Beta sent four hundred goblins to help the masons build houses, while the other goblins kept digging ore. And Beta thought that building a house out of wood in the desert would not only cost a lot of effort to get the wood there, but also that there would be no dead end in the event of a fire. So Beta also borrowed the method of Ying Zihan to build the dynasty song to build the village.

The method used by Beta was to place two planks at regular intervals on the ground where the white lines had been drawn, and in the middle lay rows of wooden pillars, which were tied together with ropes, but the gaps between the planks were filled with loess excavated from the wasteland and tamped. In accordance with this distance, layer by layer. The walls built in this way are no less sturdy than those made of stone, and the materials are easy to obtain. Beta built the camp as a mini-camp. And the site he built is not far from the water of Lihu Lake, and if anyone wants to get water, they will be shot by the archers on the wall.

The name of the camp is Hanxi Village, and the buildings inside are also very simple. Far from the lake is home to a rapidly built but rudimentary place inhabited by goblins who fear they will pollute the lake, even if it is separated by a wall. On one side is the place where the army rests, and on the other side is where the craftsmen and technicians live. As for the other side, which is still retained, this is a holiday house specially left by Beta for Ying Zihan, and it will be built when there is time.

Everything went very smoothly under Beta's command, and half a month later, all the buildings and the stoves for refining refined salt were built. The rest of the goblins also began to mine, and then began to refine the refined salt under their command.

At the same time, Shuk led his troops to guard the goblins and began to search the oasis with his cavalry. However, the effect was not great, and nothing was found, so Shuke returned with his troops. During this time, another batch of refined salt was refined, and Beta and his cavalry were going to hurry back to transport them back. Now Yingzihan's territory is short of salt, food and money, so after refining a batch of refined salt, he will quickly transport it back to a batch. After a period of time, Ying Zihan's finances will stabilize and there will be no need to be so troublesome, and then it will be shipped once every half a month or once a month.

Ying Zihan was truly relieved after this batch of salt was transported back and heard about the development of Hanxi Lake. During this time, the problem of money and food has been pressing on him like a mountain, and he usually disguises himself very well, and only Yang Xixi, who has always been by his side, knows the pressure of Ying Zihan. The only specific manifestation is that Ying Zihan has rarely done some embarrassing things at night recently...

Ying Zihan also really knows how many catties and taels he has, he is simply a little white. Fortunately, I made the right bet this time, otherwise I would have to start all over again.

In the evening, Ying Zihan sent Yang Jian and Bai Ling to discuss the matter of Thorn Ridge. Now there are more than 7,000 troops in Qindi, and it is better to take these grains and feed them to the pigs if they don't do anything. Ying Zihan's purpose this time was to let Yang Jian take the Xuan Ce Camp or Bai Ling to the Tiance Camp to help. So many people don't go to war, stay at home, and consume food, but Yingzihan doesn't want to. Ying Zihan's idea was to send Yang Jian's Xuan Ce Battalion, but he refused, so Ying Zihan asked him to take the 3,000 Tiance Battalion army and the Shenji Battalion. In this way, the army of Thorn Ridge has 3,000 people in the Tiance Battalion, 500 people in the Shenji Battalion, and 1,500 people in the Macedonian phalanx (including 500 violet cavalry), a total of 5,000 people. These 5,000 people are still elites, Ying Zihan let them go and do a big job, if the other party dares to attack this time, they will fight back.

At the same time, the newly imported five-stone salt from the Cold Lake was transported by Eno to Stormwind City, and he found a large grain household, and the two sides began to negotiate a plan. The object of Ino's trade this time is called Bowen, the most powerful merchant in the North County, and he is also an earl. It's just that this title of earl was bought by him with money, and there is no fief.

......

Eno said: "Count Bowen, I think our sincerity is enough, and you have taken a big advantage. The benefits of refined salt at only 20% off the price of refined salt can be obtained by you, so you don't need me to talk about it. ”

"Hehe, don't worry," Bowen said slowly, a fat old man in his fifties, "but the refined salt they provide is too little, not enough for a month in Stormwind." You're just a drop in the bucket for me. But if you tell us where the salt mines are, let's work together..."

"Hmph," Ino sneered, "My earl is just looking at your strength, if you have this strength, we will naturally provide more refined salt in the future." Moreover, refined salt is not coarse salt, it can be used by the people, I don't believe that Stormwind has such a big appetite. ”

"Well, I agreed. Bowen directly agreed to this matter, but he also made a request: "It's just that you can only sell refined salt to us, not to other families." Also, I'm going to buy two of your wines. ”

Ino paused for a moment and asked, "The former condition is fine, but you are not afraid of offending the Antonio family if you buy our wine." "After all, people said that they wanted to ban Ying Zihan's brewing industry.

"Haha, don't worry," Bowen didn't seem to take the matter to heart. He replied, "My business is in the northern counties, and the Antonio family is not so powerful. Besides, I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will buy these wines in my hands, and the name Antonio won't scare everyone. ”

Eno immediately understood, and he thought of what Ying Zihan once said: "Once there is a proper profit, capital will be emboldened, and if there is a profit of ten percent, it will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even risking hanging its head. At the time, Ino and the others didn't know what it meant, but now he finally understood. However, it was a bonus, and Ino realized that he might be running around again. But he likes this kind of life, and if he is allowed to deal with these government affairs again, it is estimated that he will collapse.

In fact, he is not irreplaceable, Ying Zihan can also find others to help Yang Yuan when dealing with government affairs, it is just a matter of loyalty. Ying Zihan's employment first depends on loyalty, and then ability.

(Well, that's it.) I know I'm short, forgive me for being a lazy person.

Of course, I chose to forgive
