Although the old man's cultivation was extremely fast and his speed was extremely fast, it took more than ten days to go back and forth between the First Army garrison and Qingshan Village, and when he came back, it was already mid-January.

The two sides of the mountain beam are full of people, and both sides are excavated at the same time, and the progress is extremely fast, and three percent of the mountain has been opened. The soldiers were also enthusiastic one by one. Not to mention anything else, even if you have enough meat every day, it is much better than the barracks. Although the peasant women's cooking is not delicious, compared to them, which rarely see meat once in a month or two, it is definitely an irresistible delicacy, and it is worth selling more effort.

However, the farmers in Qingshan Village were a little unhappy, and they took care of the meat every day, and bought a large number of quilts and leather bedding, plus the tools that were constantly being worn out, and the charcoal used to calcine the mountain rocks.

Now they all support and worship Jiang Xingchen from the bottom of their hearts, watching the truckloads of goods continue to be transported, and the citrine coins are spent, they all feel sorry for the lord.

However, Jiang Xingchen himself did not have such an awareness, although his flesh hurt when he took out 500,000 citrine coins, but the money is not just for spending, otherwise it will be kept for the small ones. Besides, if you really want to build the territory into what you imagined, the money spent in the future will be a sea of money, and the 500,000 citrine coins are nothing.

Seeing that the progress of the mountain opening was normal, Jiang Xingchen stopped caring about it, and just let Han Xiaowu and them keep an eye on it, he still had more important things to do.

In addition to studying the effects of the formation development every day, Jiang Xingchen also asked Du Rushan to get a lot of hard wood and began to make a large number of toothbrushes. The Marquis of Dingbei had already told him that he was going to go to the imperial capital, so he had to prepare some for the Hou Ye to let him run the relationship. Those great nobles in the imperial capital may not be interested in the precious jewelry of the mountains and seas, but they absolutely like this practical novelty!

In addition, he has a more important matter, which is directly related to whether he can get the reward for the expansion of his territory......

And just when Jiang Xingchen was closed and busy working every day, the bomb he planted during the food crisis finally broke out.

Those aristocrats who were hoarding grain at that time were all approached one by one, and the secret recipe for the steamed buns they sold could not be used at all, and the steamed buns were not cooked, and the meat filling inside was raw.

All of a sudden, these people were dumbfounded, how could this be, could it be that Mo Hongxian was fooling them, the secret recipe of the bun was simply fake.

With such a thought, more than a dozen nobles were regarded as representatives and went to the Bauhinia mercenary group to ask why such a situation occurred, selling so many secret recipes, even if they returned the money, they couldn't calm the anger of the buyers, they couldn't afford it.

Mo Hongxian seemed to have known that they would come, and told them unhurriedly that the secret recipe of the bun was correct, and the bun shop in Hongyuan City did just that.

Of course, a group of people didn't believe it and strongly demanded to see the kitchen of the bun shop.

Mo Hongxian did not refuse, and led them to a steamed bun shop with a smile.

When they entered the kitchen and saw a guy pushing and pulling the bellows by the stove, the fire in the stove was burning violently, and the heat on the cage drawer was steaming like smoke, and their faces were all crying, and then they all understood that without this thing to increase the firepower, the buns would not be able to do it at all.

"It's too a trick, who knew that the secret recipe still had to cooperate with this ghostly thing......" A group of people wanted to cry without tears, although they scolded Mo Hongxian in their hearts, but there was no way, there was really no problem with the secret recipe that people gave you.

"Everyone, how about it, I didn't lie to you, right!" Mo Hongxian smiled, her heart blossomed, and she was unhappy when she had no choice but to take out the secret recipe, but at this moment, it was all gone, and her whole body was comfortable from the inside out.

At the same time, in the Hou Mansion, the Marquis of Dingbei also held his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face, and hummed a little song in his mouth.

"Look at you this time, I won't pay you to death...... As a nobleman under Lao Tzu's leadership, if he doesn't come to help me when there is a food crisis, he will even rush to buy grain and prepare to sell it at a high price...... Hmph! This time, at least peel off your three layers of skin, and see if you dare to get sè in the future!"

While thinking about it, the Marquis of Dingbei showed a smug smile and said in a low voice: "Jiang Xingchen, this kid, there are really a lot of ghost ideas......

Just as Hou Ye expected, Mo Hongxian did not agree to provide a push-pull bellows, so those nobles were tragic, not only to return all the citrine coins obtained from the sale of the secret recipe, but also to pay a lot of money.

Although the middle family can still resist, the smaller nobles can't stand it, and they crawl to find the Marquis of Dingbei for help.

Dingbei Hou only said lightly: "Now that you think of me, what did you do when there was a food crisis in Hongyuan City!"

"Plop! plop ......" The entire front hall suddenly fell to its knees, and the little nobles almost pulled out their hearts, and all kinds of heartfelt words rushed out, just begging the Hou Ye to save them.

Looking at the nobleman who knelt down and wept bitterly to express his repentance, and then said bold words like a stone on his chest, Dingbei Hou felt that his mood had never been so happy, and it was simply refreshing.

In the end, after kneeling for an afternoon among these nobles, the Marquis of Dingbei finally nodded and agreed to talk to Mo Hongxian about the sale of sliding bellows.

After the little nobles thanked them for leaving, the middle nobles also got the news, and they all ran to the Hou Mansion and fell to their knees again......

In fact, the manufacture of push-pull bellows is not complicated, and if someone sees the effect, they can definitely study it, this Jiang Xingchen has already told Mo Hongxian, so she didn't plan to keep it secret at all, just to cooperate with Dingbei Hou, she deliberately didn't sell it. Now that Hou Ye has spoken, there is no need to resist.

However, Mo Hongxian is not the one who suffers: "If you want to buy a push-pull bellows, you can do it, but you took the secret recipe for nothing at that time!"

The meaning of eating fruit like this can be heard by a fool. Those small and medium-sized nobles who had hoarded grain before were about to collapse at this time. originally thought that he could make a lot of money, but in the end, he lost all his money.

However, the shape is stronger than the people, and they have to cater to Mo Hongxian's intentions, reprice the secret recipe obtained for nothing, and give the money to the Bauhinia mercenary group, which made Mo Hongxian loosen his mouth and sell the method of making the push-pull bellows.

After this incident, these small and medium-sized nobles, not only did not take advantage of the food crisis, but paid a lot of extra money to keep their family business, otherwise just the compensation would make them bankrupt......

In Hongyuan City, when the bomb planted by Jiang Xingchen before exploded, Luo Yu, who was thousands of miles away from the orc alliance and successfully negotiated, also returned.

"What? Are you crazy, you actually agreed to sell a hundred head horses?" Hearing the news that Luo Yu brought back, in the palace of the Golden Lion Clan, all the sacrifices widened their eyes and shouted incredulously.

"Don't you know that breeding is our foundation...... You actually used the head horse to trade with the Qiankun Empire!" an old orc shouted loudly.

Next to this person, a middle-aged man sneered and said lightly: "I said a long time ago that Luo Yu is not suitable for this mission, although he is a young patriarch, he is not mature enough!"

"Hmm!" another middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, although the sheep intestines of the Qiankun Empire are extremely useful, it is really not cost-effective to exchange them for a hundred head horses!"

The lion patriarch sitting at the top frowned slightly, his expression was extremely gloomy, he didn't expect that Luo Yu would sign such a contract. I sent him out this time to improve his qualifications, but who would have thought that it would cause such a big trouble......

On the right side of the patriarch, a young man hung his head slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the corners of his eyes were all cast on Luo Yu.

"Hehe! You dare to decide such a big thing without permission, and in the future, I am afraid that your position as the young patriarch will not be so stable...... I really didn't expect that the opportunity I had been waiting for for so many years would come so easily!"

As the young man was thinking, an old minister on the right suddenly spoke: "I don't think it's appropriate to exchange a hundred horses for sheep gut... A hundred headed horses play a very small role and cannot reproduce for several generations...... But the effect of sheep intestines can be seen from the battle of Pingjuncheng...... It's a good deal!"

"It's worth a fart, the head horse is much more useful than that sheep gut...... Our orcs have always been physically strong, and it is the same with or without sheep intestines, but the head horse is our secret, how can we talk about the same day!"

"Hmph!" Luo Yu looked at everyone's accusations and abuse, and suddenly let out a sneer, and said loudly: "The agreement signed this time is not only a kind of sheep intestine!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned, but then they criticized them again: "Luo Yu, you are really stupid, others use a little favor, and you sell the head horse to others......"

Some people sneered and said lightly: "I really don't know, apart from things like sheep gut, what else can make you sign such a contract......

Quietly looking at everyone's expressions, Luo Yu slowly took out a small jar from behind his back and slowly opened it.

Suddenly, a strong smell of alcohol filled the entire room, and everyone, including those who opposed Luo Yu, all kept silent for an instant, kept twitching their noses, and their eyes were fixed on the wine jar.

"The condition I have added is this wine ......" As he spoke, Luo Yu beckoned his soldiers to come in and asked him to pour a glass of wine for everyone.

"This spirit is the only one I've ever seen in my life, so I added it to the sheep gut line...... Now that I have agreed, the winemaker will supply us with 100 catties of this wine every year from now on......"

Not many people listened to his words, and their attention at this time was all attracted by the wine jar, every orc is a connoisseur of drinking, and the liquor in this jar can be judged by just smelling, it is definitely a rare good wine.

So, while Luo Yu was speaking, all the orcs brought the wine to their mouths and drank it down.

"Hehe!" Seeing everyone in the hall raising their glasses and drinking, and then showing a look of enjoyment, the corners of Luo Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't suppress a smug smile, he knew that this matter was ...... It's done!
