Leaving the sword shop, Shen Lang first went to the silver coin shop to exchange for some copper-

Don't look at him throwing a few or dozens of silver dollars at every turn, but if it is just daily life, the purchasing power of silver dollars is still very strong.

In a small county like Changsheng County, where prices are relatively low, one silver dollar can buy 40 catties of pork and more than 200 catties of rice.

Therefore, when you buy vegetables and eat every day, you must first exchange some copper.

A silver dollar, minus the exchange fee, can be exchanged for 990 copper, and it is packed with a bag, which is a big bag.

After redeeming the copper, Shen Lang went to the vegetable market again to buy food for Xiaoyu and Xiaozhao.

After buying a fresh carp for Xiao Zhao, he went to the butcher's shop again and said to the butcher:

"Cut three catties of fine meat and chop me into fine pieces."

"Great!"

The butcher cut off a large piece of fine meat with a knife in his hand, and weighed it on a scale, which was exactly three catties and one tael.

For the sake of Shen Lang's official uniform, the butcher didn't cut off the extra one or two pieces of meat, waved his double knives, chopped them for a while, and then took the lotus leaf wrap and handed it to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang paid for the meat with copper, carried the big fish and lotus leaves out of the vegetable market, and when he turned the corner, he put the fish and meat into the space of the fine pen.

Before leaving, Shen Lang asked the shopkeeper another question:

"Shopkeeper, what do you think of the Zhao family in the north of the city?"

The face of the shopkeeper of the sword shop turned pale suddenly, and his lips trembled and said:

"Official, official, I have been wronged! I, I've never said anything bad about Zhao Dashao, I'm so wronged......"

Shen Lang was speechless for a while, too lazy to speak, turned around and walked out of the sword shop, and walked away.

The shopkeeper of the sword shop trembled on his legs, and sat down on the chair with his ass, and his heart was afraid and disdainful:

"Look at that kid who looks like a heroic young man, I thought he was a serious person, but I didn't expect to want to be a dog leg of the Zhao family! Damn, Lao Tzu was drunk a few days ago, and accidentally said a few words in front of the apprentices, the Zhao family Yahuan died too much, and things were too strange, why did this get out? Which dog deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors betrayed Lao Tzu? ”

Not to mention that the shopkeeper of the sword shop is suspicious.

After Shen Lang took the sword, he randomly found a beggar on the street corner and asked:

"If someone who has no support, no relatives and no reason dies, where will they be buried?"

"Did the official say that it was called Hanako? We called Hanako dead, so naturally it was a straw mat wrapped casually, and buried casually in the mass grave in the north of the city! ”

"Thank you."

Throwing a handful of copper plates into the beggar's broken bowl, Shen Lang walked to the west of the city like an idle slur.

There was a small barracks in the west of the city, where thirty county soldiers were stationed.

That's right, in the entire Changsheng County, there are only thirty county soldiers who eat regular salaries.

However, if you really want to pull a large number of soldiers out to suppress bandits, you can use the 30 county soldiers as the backbone at any time to pull out two or three hundred militias in the county town who can use flintlock muskets and can form a phalanx of guns.

If you give more time and expand the scope of conscription to the countryside, then there will be no problem in pulling out one or two thousand militia in the entire Changsheng County.

These days, it's all too easy to train a musketeer.

Practicing casually for a month during the slack time, a soldier who can line up and put a gun is considered to be drilled.

It may not be possible to fight a big battle, and it is more than enough to exterminate ordinary bandits and bandits.

In other words, when Wangjiazhuang was exterminated before, he went to 200 militiamen.

After returning to the county seat, the militia was disbanded on the spot and returned to their respective homes with the bounty. Thirty regular soldiers returned to the barracks west of the city and stationed there.

At this time, it was noon, the sun was scorching, the county soldiers were not soldiers, the military discipline was average, it was not easy not to disturb the people, it was impossible to withstand the sun, practice under the sun, and they had already hid back in the barracks to rest in the summer.

Therefore, Shen Lang wore a military uniform, stood opposite the barracks and looked around for most of the day, and even climbed onto the roof of the opposite street and probed his brain into the barracks for a while, without attracting anyone's attention.

After watching it for a while, Shen Lang jumped off the roof, didn't continue to wander around, and went back to his residence.

I heard the door open.

The cat, who was lying on the edge of the pond, in the shade of the big mulberry tree, drooling at the fish while taking advantage of the cold, suddenly put on a weak and cute appearance, and turned around and meowed sweetly at Shen Lang.

There is telepathy, even if you don't use your eyes to see, the cat knows that it is Shen Lang who has returned.

But before Xiao Zhao could go over to sell cuteness, Xiao Yu jumped out of the water and complained to Shen Lang:

Shen Lang, the cat hit me again just now and wanted to catch me again! Teach it a lesson!

Miwoo~ It's not like this, the fish is complaining, and people just want to play with it......

Hmph, you obviously want to eat me!

Mi woo~~ didn't ......

Telepathically, the two little demons quarreled, and Shen Lang could only shake his head helplessly:

"Okay, don't make any noise, I'll bring you food back, save your strength to eat."

After speaking, he took out the big fish from the space of the fine pen and put it into the cat basin, took out the lotus leaf bag and untied it, and threw the fine meat into the pond.

The cat and the fish, who also love dry rice, suddenly ignored the argument and ate their respective delicacies beautifully.

Whether it's a cat or a fish, it's all small things that weigh no more than a pound.

But their stomachs are simply bottomless, and the cat can eat four or five catties of fresh fish with its belly open. The fish has a slightly smaller appetite, but it can also dry up more than three catties of various foods in one go.

No matter how much they eat, their bellies do not swell. And after only half a day, you can eat the same amount of food again.

While the cat and the fish were cooking separately, Shen Lang sat on the edge of the pond, stroked the cat's soft snow-white back hair, and said with a low smile:

"Xiao Zhao, you eat happily every day, but why don't you see you grow up? The little fish has grown to a foot, but it is still the same as a few days ago, such a small one. ”

Miwoo ~ people will grow up. One day, I will grow into a big tiger. Shen Lang, why do you have a sword in your hand?

"Of course, it's because I want to practice swordsmanship. The martial arts I practice is 'ten steps and one kill'...... As for me, when I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a hero, a person, a horse, a pot of wine, fighting violence and peace, and fighting the sword world. ”

Shen Lang said with a smile, and hummed a song again: I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword and being a chic swordsman......

The cat also hummed a song in her heart: rampant in the world, a tiger is turbulent, alarming the world's dreams......

Shen Lang was slightly stunned, his face full of surprise: "Xiao Zhao, how do you know this song?" ”

You taught me!

"I taught?"

That's right, when you enlightened me, and when you were learning "White Emperor Xuangong", there were a lot of strange things that passed into people's minds......

“……”

Shen Lang was speechless, he really didn't know that there was such a stubble.

In fact, although the fine pen can open up the wisdom to the little demon, but the simple enlightenment does not mean that the little demon has knowledge.

It's like a human being born with normal intelligence, if he is isolated from the world from infancy and has no one to teach and learn, he will only grow up to be mentally retarded, and he will not even be able to speak.

Therefore, the dotting of the fine pen is not only to let the little demon open up and understand the wisdom, but also to instill part of the knowledge and information of Shen Lang, the master, into the little demon.

In addition, when Shen Lang touched the little moon of the "Demon Taming Formula", part of his knowledge was also left in the Little Moon of the Demon Taming Formula.

When the little demon is fused with the exercises they are cultivating, that part of the knowledge information will be copied and instilled into the little demon's mind.

Because of this, when they were just ignited, they were still a little ignorant, and only Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhao, who were like human infants and young children, could make rapid progress in intelligence in just a few days.

Even if he can't speak, he can use complete sentences to pour out his "heart" to Shen Lang.

Thinking about this section, Shen Lang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh:

"It seems that no matter what earth stalks pop out of Xiao Zhao and Xiaoyu's mouths in the future, there is no need to make a fuss."

At this time, Xiaoyu suddenly asked him: Why did you go home so early today? Are you fishing at work?

"I'm not calling it fishing at work, I'm calling it early quitting and absenteeism."

Yes! Early departure from work? Wouldn't that deduct wages?

"No, I'm verbally asking for leave. My boss agreed. ”

That's good, that's good. I'm afraid that you won't be able to earn money in the future and won't be able to support us. After all, cats can eat so much......

Hey, fish, why are you embarrassed to say me? Even if Shen Lang doesn't raise me, I can hunt by myself, okay? You can even feed him in reverse, can you?

Heh, ask Shen Lang to put me in the river, and see if I can feed him.

Seeing that the two little guys were about to quarrel again, Shen Lang hurriedly played a round:

"Okay, okay, it's all a family, what's there to fight about? Be harmonious and friendly, and don't quarrel at every turn. Well, I'm coming back early today, and I'm on business. In the afternoon, you should hurry up and practice, and in the evening, Xiao Zhao, I will take you to a place, give you some fine pen, and you can help me bring something out......"
