Chapter 211: Children
With this time, the locust plague has been significantly alleviated, and some areas that are not serious have shown a tendency to stop. Li Anran, who has been busy for almost a month, can finally be truly idle.
"It's still comfortable at home......" Li Anran, who was lying on the balcony on the second floor of the Crystal Palace, that is, the sunshine and his sister's paper skillful hand massage, didn't care about the traces of locust plague in the courtyard, and sighed leisurely.
Xiangyun, who was sitting in front of the table not far away, stopped the brush in his hand that was recording accounts, looked at someone's lazy appearance, and smiled at the moment. Then he picked up the preserved juice that was placed in the ice bucket and took a sip. Suddenly, the sweet taste that was refreshing and refreshing made the body that was originally a little hot because of the sun become comfortable.
"By the way, Xiangyun, how is the manufacturing of locust powder?" Li Anran, who hadn't stayed at home for a while for disaster relief, asked with a comfortable face after pouring a glass of chilled grape wine.
"Young master, ***** catties of locust powder have been stockpiled, and at present, various purchasing points are still constantly transporting a considerable amount of dried locusts to Zhuangzi. I believe that the final inventory quantity will be much higher than now. "Because the time and space travel brain is good for a lot of Xiangyun, you don't need to go through the account book to tell the relevant situation.
"Oh? There are so many. Although he intuitively felt the horror of the locust plague during the disaster relief, Li Anran was still a little surprised to see that the inventory of locust powder had been available for so long so quickly.
"Young master, this is because of the poultry in the Zhuangzi. And the birds you bring to the hardest-hit areas consume a lot of locusts every day, otherwise, the number will rise even more. Xiangyun explained with a smile.
"I know the way, I know the way. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy One couldn't hold his breath today, he had to take me to make a move, where would he be so tired. Throwing the wine cup on the table, Li Anran, who let Su Xiaomei fill it for herself, said with a somewhat stinky face.
"Hee-hee...... Young master, I heard that your title of pure yang real person has been widely spread outside. Su Xiaomei, who poured red wine into the empty wine cup, said with a smile.
"Cut. What's the use of fame. I didn't come to the Nether to make a name for myself. Fortunately, this disaster relief can be regarded as accumulating a lot of merit, and it is worthy of this busyness. Li Anran, who didn't take that reputation to heart at all, comforted himself.
"Young Master. Do as you command. This time, the locust plague in the village bought back a total of 365 children who could not walk on the ground. Right now, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in Zhuangzi are taking care of it, you look at the next step......" Xiangyun, who was made by the expression of his young master and laughed a few times, did not forget to report.
Buying children. This is a key step for Li Anran in Datang's development plan. Speaking of which, it is also thanks to the blessing of this locust plague, in the past, it was difficult to sell their own children, especially this kind of little guy who was in swaddling clothes, only knew how to eat, drink, and sleep, and this time he took the opportunity to buy a lot.
This kind of purchase is not a resale of children in the conventional sense, not only has it been filed with the government in the name of cultivating domestic servants, but also Li Anran has also given extremely generous compensation to families who have to sell their children because of locust plagues or other reasons.
After being sure that their children will be cultivated in a way that is the envy of most of the children of the poor family, even the children of the big families, those ordinary people who have to sell their children for various reasons, and who have also received enough money for their families to live in peace for many years, can finally feel better psychologically.
"The work on the other side of the valley is almost complete, and when I go over there and make sure everything is OK, I'll take the children away." Seeing that he was talking about business, Li Anran put away his previous laziness and said.
"Young Master, when are we going to go to the valley?" Knowing that this matter is much more important than what locust powder is Xiangyun, asked.
"Forget it, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day, since this matter has been talked about, then without further ado, I'll go over there to confirm the situation." Li Anran, who originally wanted to rest for two days, shrugged helplessly and said.
"Young master, isn't it possible for Yun'er and I to go play after we get it done over there?" After enjoying the valley hot springs, Su Xiaomei, who had always been obsessed, suddenly interjected.
"Huh...... If you want to soak in the hot springs, there are several places besides the valley that have hot springs, so you can go whenever you want, as long as you don't have much time to delay. Li Anran, who knew very well what the other party was thinking, smiled dotingly.
"Oh, then young master, go and get down to business, Mei'er is waiting for you to come back." Su Xiaomei, who knew that the valley was for some reason, and she and Xiangyun couldn't go over for the time being, didn't mean to be willful or coquettish, and said very obediently.
Seeing that the business was important, Li Anran, who had to spit out a bad sentence and shook his hands and was very incompetent, didn't even bother to change his clothes. Directly to the clearing that had already been cleared as a crossing point, and let people open the simple room specially built for the helicopter in order to prevent locusts from flying in, and the previous antelope helicopter immediately came into view.
Since the care and maintenance work has not been left behind, after some inspection, Li Anran, who is very satisfied with the state of the helicopter, quickly piloted the little antelope helicopter, completely opened the roof to the surroundings, and slowly took off. It didn't take long for him to disappear into the air.
Not long after Li Anran left, Cheng Yanjin came to Xiaoyao Villa with the inner servants and internal guards who announced the decree.
After learning that someone was driving a flying magic weapon to go out to run errands, Zhilu Dao, who couldn't live with common sense at all, simply took his inner servant and walked around the villa openly.
After Li Anran parked the helicopter on the tarmac in the valley, he finally got the news that the project here had been completed.
In fact, this valley is said to be a secret base, and there is no big work, and the largest one is a warehouse located inside the mountain. After such a long time, not to mention the buildings themselves, even the interior decoration and furnishing work has been completed.
"Very good, Yao Gong, this time it is really hard for you." Accompanied by Yao Jinsong, after inspecting all the buildings and corresponding equipment in the valley one by one, Li Anran said with great satisfaction.
This is really not polite, although these buildings are designed purely for practicality, and they are really not very good in terms of shape. But everything is in place. According to Yao Jinsong's words, this project was accepted in accordance with military standards, and there was no problem at all.
Seeing that the project had ended, Li Anran, who knew that the construction team was eager to go back to reunite with his family, did not waste any more time. Directly from the helicopter, he took out the powerful hypnotic potion prepared for the duck and integrated it into the drinking water, and then said with a smile: "Come, Yao Gong, I will first toast you with water instead of wine, and when we get back to the island, we will celebrate again!" ”
As for the idea of whether someone will unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, Yao Jinsong has not thought about it. But as soon as I and my brothers' families were in each other's hands, there was nothing I could do if I was worried. Second, with the relationship between the other party and Shi Ju'an, it seems that he should not do anything like a rabbit and a dog.
But what really made Yao Jinsong feel at ease was that during a previous private exchange, Ang Lee made it clear that he wanted to hire six of his party to do some work similar to security guards, bodyguards, and even killers.
For such a request, when he knew what project he was going to do this time, Yao Jinsong already had some guesses about someone's identity. To be able to build such a place at such a large cost, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a master who keeps to himself.
Compared with the result of being crossed by people crossing the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys, the new work to be engaged in in the future is really not a problem for Yao Jinsong and his gang of veterans who have performed some special tasks.
After adding nearly five times the amount of powerful hypnotic drugs to take effect, Li Anran, who was glad that he had predicted and estimated the change in physique and increased resistance to drugs, first went back to modern time and space alone, and only after determining the location of the crossing did he return to Datang and brought Yao Jinsong and them back.
