Chapter 68: Preparation

Everyone arrived, Yang Fan stretched out his hand and pressed down, and after everyone quieted down, he said: "The main reason for calling you here today is to arrange your usual tasks, now the strength of the territory has increased a lot, and the number of farmers has also increased, in order to develop the territory more efficiently, I decided to let everyone act separately." ”

"Master, just tell us what to do! Whether it is up the Sword Mountain or the Sea of Fire, we infantry will never frown. Ed patted his chest and said loudly.

Yang Fan looked at Ed with a serious expression on his face and said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you say." Then he glanced at the three arms and said, "We now have a total of 22 mobilized peasants, 20 infantry, and 16 archers. So I decided to divide the peasants into two teams, 11 people each, one quarrying and one felling, while each group of peasants was protected by 2 infantry and 3 archers. Then I sent 10 infantry and 5 archers, and the rest remained in the territory. ”

In fact, before this recruitment, Yang Fan had already thought about the arrangement of these people, for the rapid development of the territory, the peasants' separate actions were inevitable, and while separating these peasants, the strength to protect them must also be increased. Now that there are redundant manpower, Yang Fan naturally has to arrange a few more people to protect their safety.

2 infantry and 3 archers, it seems that they don't have much strength, but at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and the edge of the whispering forest, these people are more than enough, after all, these soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, two hoplites equivalent to the 5th order profession in this world, and three archers equivalent to the 3rd order profession, even if they encounter a sixth-order demonic beast dinosaur, they have the strength to fight.

"Master, when are we leaving?" Seeing that Yang Fan had finished assigning, Farrant asked.

Yang Fan looked up at the sky and said: "You go back for breakfast first, and then set off immediately after breakfast, the specific personnel arrangements will be discussed by the three of you commanders, and the people I want will gather here directly in a while." ”

"Yes, master. Keith replied along with Ed and Farrant.

Then the three of them divided their team into several squads, appointed a person in charge of each squad, and then combined them according to Yang Fan's instructions, and after everything was arranged, they disbanded one after another and returned to their respective residences to prepare.

After seeing everyone return, Yang Fan returned to the castle.

Although he got up and found something to eat in the kitchen, he was not full. Since he was about to lead the team out of the territory, he naturally had to enjoy a good breakfast, otherwise he might only be able to eat greasy barbecue meat every day in addition to dry food.

Walking to the dining room on the second floor, Laurent was preparing at the dining table, and immediately greeted Yang Fan when he saw him.

"Young master, are things all taken care of? Come and sit down, breakfast will be ready soon." I saw that you slept too soundly at dinner yesterday, so I didn't call you, you must have been hungry one night!"

"Grandpa Laurent, how do you know that I didn't just get up and went to deal with things?" Yang Fan asked suspiciously.

A kind smile hung on Laurent's wrinkled face, "I heard it when the young master went downstairs, but when I got up, I didn't see the young master, so I guess the young master may have gone out to deal with some things." ”

I thought that I was already very careful when I went downstairs and would not disturb the rest of the people downstairs, but I didn't expect to wake up Laurent, Yang Fan couldn't help but say apologetically: "Grandpa Laurent, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest." ”

"Young master, don't say that. I'm a bad old man like me, and I can't help you much, and I am already very happy to take care of your food and clothing while I can still move. Laurent looked at Yang Fan with a look of relief and said.

Yang Fan felt a trace of warmth in his heart, took his hand and patted the back of his hand and said: "Grandpa Laurent, you are also so old, and there are more people in the territory after a while, I will find a few people to serve you, and you can enjoy the happiness with peace of mind!"

"How can this be, I am in good health now, and I don't need to be served. Laurent frowned and said unhappily.

Yang Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, very helpless for this somewhat stubborn old man.

"Young master, you better sit down first! I'll go and call Mr. Gatet and Miss Catherine to breakfast. As if afraid that Yang Fan would deprive him of his right to take care of him, Laurent hurriedly walked out of the dining room after speaking.

Coming to the main seat and sitting down, Yang Fan supported his chin with one hand, stirred the rice porridge in the bowl with a spoon in the other, and his eyes drifted to the door, a little dazed.

Originally, the staple food in this world was bread and meat, but Yang Fan couldn't stand eating those things every day, so he asked the farmers to harvest a lot of freshly ripe wheat from the wheat field and cook it into rice porridge to eat.

Laurent's current skill in cooking porridge was taught to him by Yang Fan himself, of course, Yang Fan only provided theory, and as for practice, he had to rely on Laurent's own slow exploration.

However, judging from the few bowls of rice porridge on the table now, Laurent seems to have done it very skillfully, and even improved it himself, adding a lot of things to the rice porridge. For example, diced meat, wild vegetables, and Lily's favorite leaves.

Smelling the fragrance of rice porridge on the table, Yang Fan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and his eyes began to become eager when he looked at the door.

As the master of this place, there is no need for him to wait for anyone else, but as the saying goes, the more people, the better the food, not to mention the presence of the lady Catherine, out of politeness he had to hold back his appetite and wait for them.

Ten minutes later, the door of the dining room was finally pushed open under Yang Fan's expectant gaze, and the first to come in was Lily, the little guy. As soon as she entered the dining room, she cheered and rushed towards Yang Fanfei.

"Master, when did you get up, why didn't you call me. ”

Stretching out his hands to catch Lily, Yang Fan smiled: "It's you who sleep like a pig yourself, how can you blame me." ”

Lily's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said crisply, "People played too late with their friends last night! When I went back to the room, the master was not sleeping like a pig." ”

"Wow! I dare to say that I am like a pig, and you will not be allowed to eat leaves today. Yang Fan pretended to be angry.

The little guy frowned, looked at Yang Fan aggrievedly, and said, "How can the master be like this, you can talk about me, why can't I talk about you." ”

"Because I am your master. Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and said with a straight face.

Lily was slightly stunned, her small mouth pouted downward, her nose twitched, her eyes were shining, and she looked like she wanted to cry, which was very cute.

Seeing that the little guy was about to cry, Yang Fan was about to explain that he was just joking with her, but he heard a coquettish cry from the door. "Yang Fan, how can you bully Lily as a big person. Come on, come to my sister, we'll ignore that bad guy. ”
