Chapter 7: Departure to the Outpost

Zhang Yiyuan rinsed it briefly, and randomly chose a set of clothes for himself to wear, it is now May, and the clothes are beginning to thin out when the summer is approaching, and the way to wear clothes is also much simpler, unlike in winter......

After packing up, he went out, and he was going to tell the current head of the house, that is, his grandmother, about going to the countryside Zhuangzi, so as not to worry the old man.

For more than two years, this family has basically relied on the old lady to support it, but the old lady is also older after all, and her energy is not as good as before.

According to the old lady, getting married means that when you grow up, you have to assume the responsibility of being the head of the family.

Qi Shoutang, Zhang Yiyuan crossed the threshold, nodded to Xu Liu's two mothers who came out of it, and said softly: "Grandmother can be inside?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the old lady is having lunch, since you are here, then go in and eat with the old lady, the old lady must be very happy to see it." Mother Liu, who was on the left, said with a smile.

"Okay." Anyway, Qin'er and Zhang Song are estimated to be not so fast, and he is estimated to be unable to come back for ten days and half a month.

"Hey, the slave is going to prepare the dishes and chopsticks."

Zhang Yiyuan nodded, walked through the corridor to the main hall, and saw an old man with a kind face eating, so he smiled and said: "Grandmother, my grandson has come to eat with you, what is delicious today?" ”

The old man looked up: "You baby, why are you back so early today, have you eaten lunch, if you haven't eaten, come and eat some with your grandmother." ”

"Hey, I ate some, but I heard Mother Lin say that today's grandmother, you are delicious, just come to your place to rub a little delicious drops."

While eating, the old lady looked up at Zhang Yiyuan: "But what happened, I don't eat with Lan'er's girl today." ”

"You two don't have to be awkward, right?"

"Grandmother, don't worry, the child and Lan'er have a good relationship, I'm just eating some with her, but I suddenly remembered one thing, I'm going to go to Qishaozhuang later, this time I came to see Grandmother, but also to talk to you so that you don't worry." Zhang Yiyuan directly told the old lady the purpose of this trip, because even if he didn't say it, the old lady probably knew it, including everything he had done in the past year.

After all, it didn't take long for him to start taking over the affairs of the Zhang family, and it was easy for the old lady to really want to know, there was no need to hide these things, it was better to say it directly.

When the old lady heard Zhang Yiyuan say that she was going to Qishaozhuang, she frowned slightly, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and waved to Mother Liu, who was standing behind her.

When there were only two people left in the living room, he said, "But what happened?" ”

She knew some of the arrangements of her grandson on the side of Qishaozhuang, although she didn't know the specific situation, because she took the initiative to cut off the contact there, and there was no need to stare at everything when the child was older.

Yes, she only knew that there was a dark flag, a dark flag used in times of crisis, and his grandson went there every month, basically there was a rule, and the last time was seven days ago.

Zhang Yiyuan saw that the old lady was serious, so he also put down the dishes and chopsticks, his expression became serious, and he said the manuscript that he had just typed several times in his heart:

"Grandmother, something happened to my teacher, the same teacher I told you about earlier who taught me strange skills."

He had previously told the old lady that he had a teacher who specialized in teaching him strange techniques.

"It's serious."

"And the grandson wants to help him!"

"But it takes a lot of manpower to help him, so my grandson needs to go to the sentry village to make some arrangements."

"Do you have to go?"

The old lady frowned.

Zhang Yiyuan nodded: "He's very important." ”

The old lady looked at Zhang Yiyuan seriously, and when she saw that his eyes were firm, she knew that her grandson had made up her mind, so she lowered her head and was silent for a while, when Zhang Yiyuan thought that the old lady was going to refuse.

The old lady raised her head again, looked at Zhang Yiyuan, and said with a very serious expression: "I don't know what your relationship with your master is." ”

"I don't know how serious it is, but looking at your appearance, you are determined to do it, and even if I stop it, an old bone, you will do it."

In that case, then my old bones will not do that annoying thing. ”

"You can go, I can agree with you to help him in this matter, this is your affection with that person."

"But no matter what, you have to answer me a question first." The old lady paused at this point, and her expression became more serious.

stared at Zhang Yiyuan, word by word:

"Are you, will, are, dangerous?"

Looking at the old lady's eyes and words, I don't know why, Zhang Yiyuan felt that his chest was a little blocked, and he wanted to say: "easy", but now he can't say it anymore without knowing why.

Zhang Yiyuan took a breath, thought about it and said seriously:

"Yes, but this is for the future, at least for three years, there should be no danger, and the master has left me a lot of things to protect."

"Three years?" The old lady stared at her, and muttered in a low voice, you know what to think, and was silent for a while before continuing:

"You can do what you want, and I can do that."

"But, before that, you have to promise me two things."

Zhang Yiyuan was happy: "Grandmother, you said, as long as,"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted again, and the old lady said in a deep voice: "I am not discussing with you, but you must agree." ”

As soon as Zhang Yiyuan saw the old lady's expression, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, and he became serious:

"Grandmother, you say."

"First, protect yourself."

"Second, you and Lan'er's marriage date will be married immediately, without delay, if you can leave some heirs, it would be better."

did not give Zhang Yiyuan a chance to speak, and said very bluntly:

"I don't deny it, the condition I said is that there is the idea that you will leave a descendant, so as not to make the Zhang family extinct."

"But it's also a fetter for you, a fetter that can alert you every time you are impulsive!"

"It will always tell you that you are not alone anymore!!"

"Of course, this is not to make you act in a cringe, but to make you think twice about everything and not be impulsive!"

"But, you know?"

As she spoke, the old lady's originally sharp eyes also shrugged down, shook her head slightly and sighed:

"Alas~ I'm getting older, and my energy is not as good as before, I wanted to let you live in Yiyang City safely and securely in this life, but I didn't expect ......"

"Yes, the child does." Zhang Yiyuan was also silent, and didn't say anything superfluous, he could only nod his head, no matter how much he said at the moment, it was meaningless.

To be honest, he didn't find it difficult for the old lady to meet these two conditions, they were all things he could complete, but he didn't expect the old lady to be so open-minded.

……

On the way from Yiyang City to the Qiduan Mountains, Zhang Yiyuan leaned his back in the carriage for testing, holding a homemade charcoal pen to write and draw on the paper of the carriage's homemade board, perfecting the first step of the plan.

Because of the time, he didn't write in great detail before, but he could have written well on the road at this time: "Qin'er give me the account book of the population of the sentry village and several surrounding villages of ours." ”

"No." Qin'er answered, opened the box beside her casually, and took out an account book from the third layer of the box with a clear purpose, and handed it to Zhang Yiyuan.

The Zhang family has six Zhuangzi in this area plus the Whistle Village, and it is not a coincidence that these villages are connected together, but he made do with them by buying or replacing them.

Located to the east, closest to the Qiduan Mountains, the village is more populous, with 642 guards and 80; Nakamura: 339 guards 50; Nishimura: 378 guards 40; Nancun 466 guards 60; North Village: 411 guards 50; New West Village: 224 escort 30.

Zhang Yiyuan counted that the population of several villages was 2,460 people, and there were 310 guards.

estimated that the people he could mobilize should be able to mobilize 1,500 to 1,800 people, and the more than 300 guards were counted.

In these villages, almost half of them are elderly (over 50 years old). 1st floor for children (under 10 years old), 3rd floor for women, 4 and a half floors for men.

One-third of the population of the village, except for the original, were tenants who he had recruited or bought domestic servants after he had taken charge of the house.

At this time, almost four hours had passed since he started refining the small world, and the first wave of the second batch of refining small worlds had already been refined, and the reason why he checked the population data was that he wanted to transfer people into the small world to open up the wasteland.

"Knock, knock ......"

"Childe, it's time to go to the sentry village." Zhang Song's slamming sound came from outside the car.

"Okay." Zhang Yiyuan answered, put away the objects in his hand, stretched out his hand and put it on Qin'er's shoulder, got up and walked out.

And when he came out of the carriage, Wang Yuan, the head of the village, had already led some people to stand at the entrance of the village to greet him.

"Whistle Village, Zhuangtou Wang Yuan led several stewards in the village to meet the son."

"Uncle Yuan, how many times have you said it, you don't have to see me like this, just call me one yuan." Wang Yuan was his father's scholar, and when he went out on business, he left behind a close and protective person.

"It's Childe."

“……”

Zhang Yiyuan was helpless, but he also knew Uncle Yuan's character, so he didn't say anything more, and walked towards the village with Wang Yuanbian:

"Uncle Yuan, now that the farming has passed, what else needs to be done in the Zhuangzi?"

Wang Yuan groaned: "After planting seedlings a few days ago, now there is no big deal. ”

"Since there's nothing to do, let's do it, you arrange for people to go to each household to notify you, come to work, and get a share of work."

"Let each family discuss it for themselves, leave a person in charge who can take care of the family, and then the rest of the laborers, whether men or women, as long as they want to earn a share of the work, gather in the open space of the village after sunset, bring quilts, change of clothes, tools and farm tools, and tell them that it will be a long time to go."

"And let them say goodbye to their homes when they leave, and then those who have not left work should not go out, and stay at home quietly and do not run around."

"In addition, tomorrow, the manpower drawn from the villages in the south, the northwest and other villages will also arrive one after another."

"I have left ten guards in each village, and the rest of the people have also been dispatched, they will arrive before the villagers, I will assign some people to you, from today onwards, the village must be strictly audited for entry and exit, and outsiders are prohibited from entering."

Unlike the tenants in other villages, the people in it are basically bought, or born to a family, and their deeds are still more trustworthy in their hands.

Wang Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yiyuan in some surprise, and then lowered his head again, although he was strange in his heart, he would not ask more: "Yes, the subordinates will arrange it." ”

After speaking, Wang Yuan turned around and walked towards the people who followed him before, and went down to arrange it very neatly.

"Why is this uncle still so urgent, in a hurry." Zhang Yiyuan shook his head helplessly and smiled, and then beckoned to Qin'er, Zhang Song, and the ten guards who came from the mansion who followed him: "Let's go, let's go to the warehouse." ”

The warehouse is located in the east of Zhuangzi, the terrain is higher than the rest of the village, there are ten granaries, each can hold 50 tons of rice, and two sundries warehouses, where some utensils are placed, agricultural tools, Dading and the like.

Some of the grain in these ten warehouses is the reserve grain that the family has hoarded over the years, and the other part is purchased by him after he took charge of the family, which is the main hoarding place, although several other villages also have granaries, but the number is certainly not comparable with here, 2 or 3 in each village.

Soon, Zhang Yiyuan came to the door of the warehouse, looked at the dozen warehouses, took out the key he brought with him, opened the two-story door of the nearest granary, walked in, and motioned for others to wait outside.

After entering, close the inner door, summon the Astral Order, open the binomial artifact area, and find another category, the space/storage ring.

1 cubic meter: 100 (1/1)

10 cubic meters: 1000 (1/1)

100 cubic meters: 10,000 (1/1)

500 cubic meters: 50,000 (1/1)

1000 cubic meters: 100,000 (1/1)

……

Zhang Yiyuan had a clear goal and directly bought the storage rings of 1, 10, 100, and 500.

Then he took out the 500-gauge ring: "Madoka will help put the grain from several warehouses into this ring until it is full." ”

He doesn't have enough mental strength now, he can only collect some small things, like this kind of large-scale collection of things, he is too slow, it is better to spend a little money to let Xiao Yuan do it quickly.

"Yes, master."

The voice of the machine spirit Xiaoyuan sounded, and I saw that the ring lit up slightly.

A second or a moment: "The master of the task has been completed, and the origin 500 will be deducted." ”

Zhang Yiyuan: "......"

You're so fast, there's no sense of ritual at all.

For Mao, there is a kind of unjust rush to spend this money, and there is no sense of user experience at all.
