Rent, I suddenly remembered my rental house that was worse than a kennel, I hadn't been back for more than two weeks, there were only five silver coins, and I asked, "Is their rent expensive?"

"Rent is not the main thing, the main thing is the cost of eating, anyway, as long as you are willing to find, there is still a job to do, how can there be more than ten or twenty copper coins a month can be put into the account, the rent is generally about ten copper coins, but you can pay the rent, how to eat? A month's meal money, the most economical also needs more than ten copper coins. Ma Li looked at the shacks and said.

"......" I don't have a say in prices, for a long time, I don't have any feelings about this at all, I always thought that it was normal to have one or two hundred copper coins a month, but I didn't expect that those people only earned one or twenty copper coins a month, how do you live?

"Why are there so many children here?"

"There is no pillar in the family, women do little work, it is difficult for a married woman to find her in-law's family, some people can only sell themselves, if you are not careful, you may get pregnant, after pregnancy, in order to save money, you can only give birth, and it costs more money to be born, so you will enter a vicious circle. Ma Li's voice was deep.

"Sister...... You ......"

"How can I say that I am also a mercenary, there is no money, I can always do a few tasks, at that time I united a few survivors of the storm, when I went out to do the task, they helped me watch the children at home, these children are very obedient, and learn things very quickly, we are mercenaries, teaching children is also full of mercenary skills, there were a few older children in the regiment before, they learned to know, and they also became mercenaries, they can help me, in recent years, there are more and more children who can go out on tasks, and our lives are slowly getting better. ”

Ma Li pointed to her wooden house and said, "This has been built in the past few years, it didn't cost much, we have a tree behind us, and we can build it by cutting down the tree." She looked at me and smiled, and only she knew how sad it was in that smile.

"After the children of our Storm Regiment grew up, we slowly began to help the orphans and widows here, I went to find a Sister Martha, and asked her to teach her children to read, not to read, even if you are a mercenary, you can't be illiterate, otherwise we don't know if we are deceived, those big children, we will organize to teach mercenaries skills, let them be mercenaries to make money, I have to say, mercenaries are a profession that comes quickly. Ma Li looked out the window again.

"I didn't go on a mission today, I heard Aunt Xiao Hong say, you are coming this afternoon, I went to buy something on the street, but I didn't expect you to come over in the morning, and the things were not sold. Everyone else had gone out to work and wouldn't be back until noon, but this point was almost coming back. ”

"Are all the people of the storm here?"

"No, I've basically gathered all the people in this city, and there are one or two people living in other neighborhoods, but I've already informed them, and they'll come over in a while, and a few are in other cities, I'm still looking, have you found them?" asked me.

"Nope. I pointed to my head and said, "Just got the hang of it, so I'm just starting to look for it." ”

Ma Li nodded, looked back at the name brands and flash gold cards on the table, and said, "Let's solve these first, and find the others slowly." ”

"Sister, I have an idea, I want to sell this piece of land, I want to build this place into a mercenary home, specifically to take in the families of those disabled and dead mercenaries who are unable to survive, our children can be organized and trained, they will become the reserve personnel of our mercenary group, if they are not willing to become our reserve regiment ......"

Mary interrupted me and said, "Then kick them out!"

"No, they can go wherever they want, we don't stop them, just let them pay some training money, I want to build a special mercenary school here, so that there is an advantage, often use the mercenaries we train, how will they deal with the relationship between us?" I asked Ma Li, the idea of a mercenary training school jumped out of the deepest part of my soul fire.

"What does it matter?" said Mary, looking at me puzzled.

"The mercenaries we have cultivated will naturally go to mercenary groups that have a good relationship with us, so the relationship between these mercenary groups can only be better with us, slowly, we can set up a mercenary alliance and gather the strength of several mercenary groups, what will happen to those mercenary groups that have a bad relationship with us?" I induced Ma Li.

"They definitely don't dare to provoke us!" Ma Li thought for a while, this is a good way, if an alliance can be formed, many large-scale tasks can be done together with the strength of many people, it will be much easier.

"Martin, I support your idea, let's do it!But what about those women?" Ma Li thought of the widows and wives of those girls and mercenaries, and she really didn't know how to arrange it.

"Let's raise it now, there will be work for them to do in the future, and those girls can also let them learn mercenary skills, aren't you the best example?" I thought for a moment, as if there was really nothing for them to do now.

"It's better for girls not to be mercenaries, mercenaries are too hard, and their lives will be in danger at any time, your sister and I can't help it. Ma Li said as she looked at a girl playing on the playground.

"I think it's better for them to make their own choices. I said as I looked at the girl.

Ma Li turned her head to look at me, nodded, and agreed with my statement, I suddenly slapped my head and said, "Why didn't I think of it! We can organize them to weave, learn tailoring, let them make clothes and sell them!"

You see, it's a good idea, and there are quite a few women working in the tailors' shops. Ma Li's eyes lit up.

"That's it, Uncle Zhang!" I shouted outside.

"Uncle Zhang?" Ma Li frowned.

Zhang Hanwen came in from outside the door, Ma Li looked at him and said, "Uncle Zhang in Martin's mouth can't be you, right?"

"yes!"

"No, I, Han Wu, and Martin are all brothers and sisters, and we are a generation shorter when we come to you, this is not good!" Ma Li felt that the livelihood problem of everyone here had been solved, and she was in a good mood for a while, and joked with Zhang Hanwen.

"Yes, I completely agree with Ma Li's words, I have reminded Martin a few times, he can't call me that! He is now my boss!" Zhang Hanwen actually teased Ma Li in turn.

"Okay, okay, Lao Zhang, I'll call you Lao Zhang in the future!"

As for the excitement on Zhang Hanwen's face and the smugness on Ma Li's face, I didn't care, I said to Zhang Hanwen: "Lao Zhang, you go to the city hall now and ask, I want to sell this piece of land, what procedures do I have to go through." ”

"Now?" Zhang Hanwen asked uncertainly.

"Now!"

"The town hall should be empty by this time!" he pulled out his magic watch from his bosom and looked at it.
