After a night of thinking, Ye Feng also understood that the most urgent task at present was to strengthen the defense of the village and the construction of the pier. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAt present, there is almost no protective force in the village, and the highest strength is only in the middle stage of qi refining. Relying on the strength of one person can never stop the invasion of Wei, and only by strengthening the defense of the village can there be a glimmer of possibility by relying on the strength of the entire village.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Ye Feng walked out of the room, found the housekeeper Zhu Gui and the head of the house, Li Zhuang, and gave a few orders. The two people who received Ye Feng's order immediately left Ye Mansion and walked around the village.

After instructing the two to leave, Ye Feng walked towards his mother Zhao's room again.

"Mother, I've come to greet you. Walking into his mother's room, Ye Feng saluted respectfully.

"I heard that you left yesterday with a hurried look and a worried face, is there something going on. Zhao heard the maid outside the door say that the young master's expression was different after he left yesterday, so he asked with concern.

"I was about to tell my mother, but something happened. Ye Feng said about the official document he received from the county after leaving yesterday.

"Hey, this good day is going to be messy again. The state of Wei stopped for a few years and began to make waves again. I think your grandfather ...... back then" As soon as Zhao heard that there might be a war, he couldn't help but worry, and remembered the tragic situation of his mother's family, and began to cry quietly.

"Mother's Day, although my grandfather's family is gone, I don't think they want you to cry. Ye Feng comforted.

"I'm just worried about you, afraid you're just like your grandfather. Is there anything you can do? Why don't we get out of here?" Zhao said worriedly.

"It's impossible to escape, it was okay before. But now that the county has officially issued a paperwork, it is a felony for me to abandon the village and escape. ”

"That's good. The Wei State is a barbarian who kills people without blinking, and they are fierce and brutal......"

"Actually, my mother doesn't have to worry too much, presumably the county is also prepared this time, and our pressure will not be too great. I already have a few ideas in mind, and I just want to discuss them with my mother this time. I have already sent someone to inform the three elders in the village. ”

"Since you have an idea, discuss it with them, and I don't have any opinions as a woman. ”

"I actually wanted my mother to come with me and scare them. My father died suddenly, and I was still young, and I was afraid that they would not obey me. ”

"But there is some truth in your words, those old fellows are all slippery, if your father doesn't dare to make a mistake in them, but now ...... But I guess they wouldn't dare to be presumptuous even if I was there. Zhao's expression was furious, and the momentum at this moment was not at all like that of some uninformed lady. How can he be born in a wealthy family, and decades of pampering and grandeur should not be underestimated.

In the Ye Mansion study, the others had already arrived and were waiting for Ye Feng.

After Ye Feng's father died some time ago, several prestigious old people in the village were pondering that Ye Feng would definitely take over Li Zheng's position, and several people had already summed it up together, and when Ye Feng replaced Li Zheng, they would come over to congratulate him.

But before they could come, Ye Feng's housekeeper and the family suddenly found them, saying that there was something to discuss in the Ye Mansion, and they guessed that Ye Feng might have become Lizheng, so they were looking for them. Therefore, they also brought gifts for each one. They didn't think the worst.

As soon as Ye Feng and his mother walked into the study, several people in the room immediately stopped talking and looked at Ye Feng in unison.

Although several people often come to Ye Mansion, they are not too familiar with Ye Feng. In the past, they had the impression that Ye Feng was just a child, and he was also relatively homely, and rarely came out, and several people didn't pay too much attention to it.

But now that they looked at it, they found that Ye Feng had grown up. Ye Feng, who was just eighteen years old, had a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and it was the time when he was complacent. And although it was only a small Lizheng, the momentum on his body was better than that of Lao Lizheng, and several people suddenly did not dare to underestimate it.

When they were looking at Ye Feng, Ye Feng was also looking at them, there were a total of four people in the house, all of them were the three elders of Wastestone Village.

The so-called three elders generally refer to the old people who are old and virtuous. There are in every village, and the number of people varies. And Ye Feng didn't know how the virtues of these three elders in Huangshi Village were, they were selected for the three elders by virtue of their financial resources. Half of the land in Huangshi Village was occupied by Ye Mansion, and the rest was divided by these few people. In fact, it is the same in other villages, and the three elders are all some yeoman farmers in the village who are inferior to Lizheng.

"It's just right, Mrs. Ye is good. Several people rushed to greet each other.

"Hello Sanlao, please sit down. Ye Feng replied.

"First of all, congratulations to Young Master Ye for becoming Lizheng, this is a little congratulatory gift, not a tribute. I wonder why Lizheng came to us today?" asked a few people.

Ye Feng didn't answer immediately, but beckoned Zhu Gui and Li Zhuang in.

A few people didn't understand why Ye Feng recruited his subordinates as well, could there really be something?

Waiting for Zhu Gui and Li Zhuang to come in and sit down, they didn't wait for a few people to continue to ask. Ye Feng said a piece of news that shocked everyone.

"Wei is coming. ”

"What? Wei is coming? I don't know where Li Zheng knows?" Several people were a little panicked when they heard the news, but at the same time, they also had some disbelief in their hearts.

"The county has issued a document to tell all villages and towns to do a good job of protection. Ye Feng said in an unquestionable tone.

"It's true, how is this good?" confirmed the news, several people were even more flustered, although several people were old and did not have a few years to live, but the older they were, the more afraid they were of death.

"You don't need to panic, I'm here to discuss countermeasures. ”

"Li Zheng, what countermeasures do you have? Wei people are not easy to deal with?" several people said worriedly.

"There are no good countermeasures, just a few small ideas. First, I plan to build a new village wall, the current wall is only one zhang high, and the earthen system is weak, and I plan to build a stone wall three zhang high. Ye Feng said the first plan.

"Stone walls, it's a lot of money, it's built at or above the town level, do we have so many spirit stones?" It's a good thing to build a stronger wall, but the cost is too great for the village to afford.

"I've calculated, if you build a stone wall with the size of Wastestone Village, it will take about a month, and it will cost 120,000 spirit stones. Ye Feng reported a number.

"So many, how can we have so many spirit stones. "Several people have some money left in their homes, but it's not enough. As for the rest of the village, they are all poor people, and they have no money.

"I will personally take out 60,000 spirit stones, and the remaining 60,000 will only be shared equally between the four of you. Don't tell me you can't get one or two thousand spirit stones. Ye Feng had already estimated the number of spirit stones in each family, and said an amount that would make several families feel pain and could bear it.

The immortals in the village can only earn 5,000 spirit stones a year, but there is not much left after removing all kinds of expenses. And most of the immortals' expenses went into the pockets of Ye Feng and the others. Ye Feng has a systematic 100,000 spirit stones, and his own family also has 50,000 or 60,000. And the following three old families also have more than 20,000 spirit stones, and 15,000 can definitely be obtained.

"We ......" 15,000 is almost half of their property, it must be painful, and several people want to find an excuse to cry poor.

"You have to think about it, one or two thousand spirit stones will just make you break your muscles and bones, but if Wei Guo fights, you will die. Let me tell you that what I want to build is not an ordinary wall, but a defensive formation with a defensive formation, which can reach eighty percent of the defense power of a town-level wall. Even if Wei fights, it won't arrange too many troops in one village. Ye Feng gave a few people a reassuring pill.

The defense of the formation obtained by the system was comparable to the defense of the town level, and he did not say anything big.

"Really, if we can really reach eighty percent of the defense power of the town-level wall, we will pay for it. ”

"I promise it can be achieved. When Wei Guo hits, not only will you die, but I will also die. I won't do anything I'm not sure about. I'm not going to joke with my life. ”

"Li Zheng has any other countermeasures, let's talk about it together. "Since Ye Feng took away most of his property, several people have also seen it. My own heel is in the barren stone village, so I simply fight.

"Since you have asked for it, I will speak together. The second is to build piers, which is required by the county, and I will bear the cost myself, so I don't need you, but you must send people.

The third is to form a village guard. The household registration record of Huangshi Village is more than 120 people, in fact, it is far more than that, my Ye family's family guards plus your family, the entire Huangshi Village is nearly 200 people. I plan to recruit fifty guards, ten to guard the pier, and the rest to defend the village. ”

"I don't know about this personnel arrangement?" Fifty people is quite a lot, accounting for a quarter of the village's population, and several people want to catch it.

"More than 120 people in the village are of average physique, most of them are unqualified, I plan to recruit 15 people, 15 people from Yefu, and the remaining 20 people from your family. As for the captain, I am directly in charge, and the ten people on the other side of the pier are in charge of Li Zhuang. The remaining forty are in charge of ten of your families. ”

Most of the subordinates in the homes of several people are family guards, and they can be used when they are pulled out. And the people in the village are not good, so this time the escort team is still dominated by the original personnel of several families.

"Yes. Several families thought about it and agreed. The big power is sure that Ye Feng will hold it, and it is okay to get some small ones.

"I wonder if there's anything else going on?"

"That's the big thing. The rest is a few minor problems, I understand that I went to the county seat to buy materials. Start construction as soon as possible, complete it one day earlier, and we will be safe one day sooner. ”

That's all for today. A few proposals were also relatively smooth, and a few of the three elders did not make trouble, so in general, Ye Feng was not bad on the first day.

Next, the few people discussed some details, the expenditure of money and food, the allocation of immortals, and so on. It continued until the afternoon, and the details were gradually refined.

During this period, Ye Feng's eldest brother-in-law Liu Yan came to Ye Mansion to pick up his eldest sister. also brought the news of Liushutun by the way. It's similar to that of Arashi Village, and he also received an order from the county.

Although Liu Yan is not Li Zheng yet, he can also represent Liu Shutun. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Feng talked about the alliance between the two villages again. Liu Yan also agreed. In the face of pressure from the Wei State, the small village had to huddle together for warmth.
