It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 313

When Cheng Dalei returned to Toad Village, he saw that most of the entire project had been completed. It must be said that with the blessing of mastery of construction skills, the progress of the project was very fast.

There are busy workers everywhere, and everyone is working in full swing, but this is only good-looking on the surface, and the consumption of the toad village inside is already very serious.

When Cheng Dalei sat in the Juyi Hall and listened to Liu Bei's report, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.

"Now there are more than 3,000 people working in the cottage, including our original brothers, there are more than 4,000 people who need to eat, and now the food in the cottage can last for three days at most. In the past few days, Zilong and the others have been asked to rob the surrounding big households. , but it still doesn’t make ends meet.”

"In addition, we have asked the brothers to go to the mountains to mine the big wood and rocks, but we need a lot of copper and iron. These things can only be bought at a high price. The price is very high. If we continue to build, we will need at least 1,000 kilograms of copper and iron. We can't get that much. more money."

"..."

Liu Bei reported it one by one, and also brought the ledger to Cheng Dalei to see. Cheng Dalei saw that he had memorized all the accounts above very clearly, at a glance, and the handwriting was also very beautiful.

"I can't see it." Cheng Dalei praised: "Uncle Huang still has such a good Xiaojie, and the rare account can be calculated clearly."

"It's not my account."

"Hey, who is that?" Cheng Dalei.

"your Highness."

There is only one princess in Toad Village, and everyone in Toad Village still respects Li Wan'er very much. After all, she is an imperial princess and has a natural prestige. Cheng Dalei does not take the title of princess seriously, which does not mean that a native of the empire like Liu Bei should not be able to do things well.

Cheng Dalei just didn't expect that Li Wan'er could still be considered a good account, but when he thought about it, he kept burying him.

According to Liu Bei, since the start of the project, all kinds of things have to be dealt with, and Liu Bei can't do it alone, even with Li Xingzai's help. At the critical moment, thanks to Li Waner's action, every account is counted. Chu, only let things go on the right track, without increasing insignificant consumption.

As for how to deal with the current predicament, Li Wan'er had no choice. Now that Cheng Dalei has returned, these things are not too big of a problem.

First, send someone to Ximen Chunchang, sell the herbs they brought back, and exchange for a shipment of food to come back for emergency. At the same time, don't forget to buy 100 pieces of flower cloth, which was ordered by Heiyan.

After that, Cheng Dalei hurriedly sent people to Luoyu Village with tools to repair and strengthen the wooden bridge on the canyon. This bridge will be the main economic pillar in the future of Toad Village.

Today's Cheng Dalei is like throwing five balls with two hands. As long as one ball hits the ground, his plate will be broken.

When the three of Yun Zhonglong brought the food, the crisis at hand was finally over, and Cheng Dalei finally didn't mess around.

The three brought not only food, but also tea, silk cloth, iron ware, porcelain and so on. These are ready to be sent to the grasslands for trade, and the newly built wooden bridge has allowed a large number of goods to pass through. This time, Cheng Dalei no longer went out in person, but handed it over to... Li Xingzai.

Li Xingzai was full of curiosity about everything and was clamoring to experience leading a caravan. Although he was occasionally out of tune, he was still reliable at critical moments. So Cheng Dalei asked him to take Fordler with him.

Everything is on the right track, as long as you seize the time and can upgrade the cottage to level three when Mo Mingmi wakes up, then Cheng Dalei will no longer be afraid of him. At that time, Cheng Dalei will ask him to discuss who is the owner of this land.

Cheng Dalei stayed in the cottage and began to read the news from the restaurant. There were rumors in the rivers and lakes that this skill was blessed, and the information received by Cheng Dalei covered the entire empire. Of course, because of the rumors in the rivers and lakes, how many of them are true and how many are false, it is still necessary for Cheng Dalei to distinguish by himself.

"A group of barbarian merchants landed in the South China Sea to sell female slaves from foreign regions"

"After the death of the Prairie King, civil strife broke out in the Rong tribe, and many princes began to fight for power. Now the war has not yet begun, each of them is sharpening their knives and ready to go."

"Beijing King died of illness and passed the throne to Jin Wendao"

"In the south of the Yangtze River, there is an uprising of the Justice Church, with hundreds of thousands of believers, and the imperial court has begun to send troops to encircle and suppress the members of the Justice Church."

...

...

Cheng Dalei was tired of reading, and just looked up, a cup of tea was already on the table. Then Yinmu withdrew to the corner of the room with the sword on his back, without saying a word.

Of course, she can't speak either. These days, the silver eyes follow Cheng Dalei like a shadow, always frightened behind Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei was a little uncomfortable at first, and it always felt creepy to be stared at like this. But later, he got used to it, as long as she didn't exist.

Cheng Dalei took a sip of tea and continued to read the message. Some information is completely useless and spam, and some information is just a glimpse. The wind started at the end of Qingping, some seemingly indifferent information, but there is a general trend brewing in it.

The Church of Justice...

Cheng Dangjia took out the note about the Justice Religion, and turned around and asked the restaurant to collect more information about the Justice Religion. Cheng Dalei was not surprised by what happened on the grassland. It was nothing more than a power struggle. You kill me and I will kill you. But the rise of the Righteous Religion made Cheng Dalei solemn.

The empire is riddled with holes and precarious, and now the rise of a group of pagans with hundreds of thousands of believers will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

It is said that the imperial court has sent soldiers to suppress the bandits, and Su Ying is in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder if they can survive this bandit chaos.

Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei could no longer stay in Toad Village safely. He decided to go to Jiangnan and bring Su Ying back.

"Master, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..." Liu Bei and several people stopped Cheng Dalei firmly.

"What am I impulsive about?" Cheng Dalei said speechlessly, "I am single-handedly. Of course, Sergeant Xu must follow me. With the sword in my hand, even if I encounter any danger along the way, I can survive it."

"We all know the ability of the big boss." Liu Bei said: "But the cottage has just started, and there are still strong enemies around. When the big boss leaves, people's hearts are in chaos."

"I'll be back when I go, at most a month."

"Is it absolutely possible to send someone else? Zhang Fei and Zilong can go there. With their abilities, nothing can go wrong."

Let others go, after all, do not worry about yourself. But Liu Bei is right, this cottage is indeed inseparable from itself.

He slumped down on the chair, and then smiled bitterly, but it turned out that the more people there were, the fewer things he could do.

In the end, Cheng Dalei sent Qin Man, Gao Feibao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to Jiangnan and dispatched four generals in one go, which shows that Cheng Dalei attached great importance to this matter.

As for Zhao Zilong, it is absolutely not allowed to go, what if the forced Su Ying jumps into the well.
