I built a fairy city in troubled times

Chapter 3 Three Months

After a while, Zhang Mu gasped and said, "Master Hou, I will pass on this technique tomorrow!"

When he spoke, his eyes turned red due to excessive excitement. Although the other retainers were curious, they didn't ask any more questions.

Each of them is in charge of their own affairs, and they never inquire about each other. This is the rule.

"Master Marquis, this elixir can be refined. The auxiliary medicine is easy to say. It is abundant in the south. I guess it is available in the nearby mountains and can be picked. However, the main medicine, body-building grass, can only be found in the north. The price is a bit expensive. , if you buy it from outside, it costs ten taels of silver per plant, but with this herb and various auxiliary medicines, you can refine ten pills!"

"Then tomorrow we will select people to pick the auxiliary medicine. As for the body-strengthening grass, let the caravan buy it outside. It is guaranteed that all the soldiers can take the elixir once every ten days!" The soldiers of the Huangcheng Hou Mansion are also considered to be powerful. Yes, almost all of them have reached the early stage of body quenching.

However, because the elixirs are too expensive, after reaching the early stage of body tempering, it is difficult to go further. You can only slowly polish your body by yourself, but without strong talent, it is very difficult to improve with this.

But a body-tempering pill outside can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver each, and even the Hou Mansion cannot afford it.

Now that the cost can be reduced so much, there is no problem.

One body strengthening grass and auxiliary medicine can be used to refine ten body tempering pills, which only cost ten taels of silver. Even if manpower and material resources are added, 20 taels of silver are enough.

Each person takes three pills per month, which is 180 body tempering pills, which can be converted into [-] taels of silver, which is completely sufficient.

Even if there are more soldiers, there will be no problem.

I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, those aristocratic families and the royal family are really cheating. The cost of a pill is only one tael of silver, but they dare to sell it for 100 taels of silver.

However, what he didn't know was that this was the elixir produced by the system. Not only was it cheaper, but it was also as effective as the ones on the market, or even better.

This is not the case with other people's refining methods. Although the cost price of an elixir does not reach the exaggerated 100 taels of silver, 50 taels are still available.

Otherwise, all the Daxia army would have taken it long ago.

Then, Xia Ming seemed to have thought of something again. He looked at Baili Zhe and said, "If you want to stock up on more body-building grass, buy three thousand plants first!" Three thousand plants are equivalent to 3 taels of silver.

The Hou Mansion can afford it completely, and it will be difficult to buy it in the future if you save.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Baili Zhe is in charge of the family's caravan and has never made any mistakes. It is most appropriate to leave these matters to him.

At this time, Kui Tie finally finished reading the drawings: "Master Hou, this step armor and Mo Dao are indeed rare weapons. If the family soldiers are equipped with them, coupled with the cultivation of the body tempering realm.

They are not afraid of any cavalry at all, but the cost is a bit expensive, and they all need to be mixed with black iron. Although the Marquis Mansion has them, the quantity is too small, so they can only be purchased outside.

A piece of armor and a Mo Dao requires ten kilograms of black iron, and three hundred sets of equipment require three thousand kilograms of black iron. The price per kilogram has reached 100 taels of silver outside, for a total of 30 taels of silver!
As for ordinary iron materials, it's easy to say. There are iron ores here, and we can make them ourselves! "

After Kuitie finished speaking, the expressions of several retainers changed.

This amount is a bit large. Although the Hou Mansion has some money, it not only needs to buy food to feed the refugees, but the entire Hou Mansion also needs expenses. It is not cost-effective to spend another 30 taels of silver.

After all, the average warrior only spends ten taels of silver. These 30 taels of silver can feed 3 horses.

Of course, this is the configuration of ordinary cannon fodder rebels.

If it were replaced by the regular army of the imperial court, the equipment of the soldiers would only cost 50 taels of silver, and this would still be infantry.

However, Xia Ming didn't seem to care at all and said directly, "Then go buy it, we can still get it for 30 taels of silver!"

"Master Marquis, we only have 100 million taels of silver in our treasury now." Baili Zhe wanted to say something, but Xia Ming waved his hand and interrupted.

At present, the most important thing is to improve the strength. Without strength, no matter how much money you have, you can't keep it.

“That’s how things are done, we all have purchasing channels, and we must purchase things back in the shortest possible time.

As for money, isn't there a caravan? Just think of ways to make money.

Improving strength is the top priority! "

After hearing what Xia Ming said, everyone stopped talking.

Although they felt a little uncomfortable, it was rare for the Marquis to be tough. These retainers were actually very pleased.

You know, in the past, after the death of the old Marquis, the Marquis became timid, making them lose hope for a time.

Now, the Marquis has become stronger, making them feel like they have a backbone.

"Old man Baili, from now on, in addition to the affairs of the Hou Mansion, you will also be responsible for the arrangements for the refugees and land reclamation. If you are too busy, you can ask your son to help. Since the refugees have come to our place, we will provide them with a way A way to survive!

Moreover, the Hou Mansion cannot afford to support so many idle people!

Tell them to work if they want to survive! Xia Ming turned his gaze to Baili Zhe.

The latter's son seems to have good talent. At a young age, his cultivation has already reached the late stage of bone forging. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can step into the blood-moving realm. Now he is working as a steward in the Hou Mansion.

Now, it can be put to use.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Baili Zhe naturally would not refuse.

Then, everyone discussed the resettlement of the refugees.

They dispersed.

Early the next morning, Xia Ming started practicing.

In this world, only by having strong strength can you live longer, and now your cultivation talents are slowly increasing.

He won't slack off.

In the days to come, apart from practicing, Xia Ming would mostly observe the favorability of the refugees and the progress of land reclamation.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed.

On this day, Xia Ming, who was practicing, felt a surge of power from inside his body, seeping into the surroundings, and his bones made a "crackling" sound.After a while, when the strangeness disappeared.

I knew in my heart that I must have made a breakthrough.

Then, he opened the data panel.

[Name: Xia Ming]

[Affiliated force: Huangcheng]

[Subjects: 620 and three people (talent +0.4)]

[Talent: 4+3 (ordinary level, lower talent)]

[Cultivation: Bone Forging Realm (98%)]

[Kung Fu: Imperial Kung Fu "Three Emperors Reflecting the World"]

In three months, the number of people in Huangcheng increased to more than 7000, and his talent also reached seven.

This made Xia Ming very satisfied.

Then, he stood up and walked outside. When he first arrived outside the house.

You can see that the entire deserted city has changed.

It was originally only the size of an ordinary village, but now it has the appearance of a town.

After Baili Zhe's planning, all the houses of the new refugees were arranged and built in a tic-tac-shape. Even the original villagers' houses, which were not very good, were directly pushed to reconstruction. Now when walking on the street, everything is covered with bluestone. A small yard was built.

The roofs are covered with green tiles, and the streets are not as muddy as in the past. They are also paved with bluestones. It is very comfortable to walk on them. Canals are dug on both sides, and clear water flows through them, making a natural and pleasant sound.

In terms of cost, there was not much investment. Baili Zhe divided more than 1000 refugees. Some were responsible for logging, some were responsible for transporting stones, and some were responsible for building houses. After a few months, the current results were achieved.

To this end, a tile-making workshop was built outside the village. There are craftsmen among the refugees, and almost all of them can make their own tiles.

All they had to pay was the refugees' hard work and some food. But because the house was built for him and there was someone to take care of the food, all the refugees were grateful to Xia Ming. He observed it.

The favorability score is almost always around 70%.

This is already very remarkable.

The most gratifying thing is that shops have appeared on both sides of the street, with the sound of sales constantly ringing out, and the smell of fireworks. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and even weapons.

Of course, most of these vendors were released by the Hou Mansion. After all, after having a house, the refugees also need to live, and some of them brought money with them when they came. They still have necessary consumption. of.

When Xia Ming walked out of the village, Baili Zhe didn't know when he was already following him. However, Xia Ming didn't mind. He still looked forward and saw a school field outside the village. They are practicing, and their equipment has been replaced by infantry armor. Black iron scale armor leaves are covered layer by layer, which is enough to withstand powerful attacks. Even the palms are equipped with hand armor, iron war armor. When the boots were kicked on the ground, bursts of smoke and dust were splashed, and the Shura masks fell down on their faces, looking ferocious and tough, just like a group of Shura from hell.

He held the famous Mo Dao in his hand, and it let out an astonishing roar when swung.

Each and every one of them was as powerful as a dragon or a tiger, which made Xia Ming very satisfied.

At this time, Tie Lin, who was training his family soldiers, saw Xia Ming arriving and hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Hou!"

Xia Ming's eyes flashed, and the other party's data appeared in front of him.

[Name: Tielin]

[Favorability: 93% (surrendering to the host)]

[Skills: Xuan-level low-grade "Golden Body Technique", "Shaking Sea Fist", "Breaking Saber"]

[Cultivation: Blood Moving Realm]

[Fate: Cyan (Mangniu crossing the mountain)]

[Talent: 5.3+0.4 (Ordinary level (low posture)]

"How is the training progress of the family soldiers?" Xia Ming glanced at the family soldiers who were still wielding their swords, and said slowly.

"With the exercises you gave us and the elixirs we refined, our people's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Among the 300 people, 120 have reached the early stage of bone forging, and the others have also reached the bone tempering stage. At the peak physical level, it won’t take long for them all to enter the bone forging realm!”

"Not bad!" A smile appeared on Xia Ming's face.

Such cultivation is considered elite no matter where it is placed.

Then, he looked further away, where the people were clearing up wasteland. After the large areas of wasteland were ignited, they left ashes, which are also the best fertilizer. After being dug into the ground, next year's crops will definitely grow. Well done.

"Master Marquis, the summer harvest has begun. However, there is not much land this year, only more than 1000 acres. It is expected to produce three thousand dan of grain. However, during the next autumn harvest, there will be a lot more grain, with [-] acres of land. It can be farmed!”

Xia Ming nodded, everything was developing for the better.

He believes that it won't be long before he can occupy a place in this troubled world.

At this moment, a servant from the Hou Mansion hurried over.

"Master Marquis, your letter!"

Xia Ming raised his eyebrows and then took it.

When I saw the signature, a smile appeared on my face.

It was written by Chu Qinghuan, and he didn't know what he wanted to tell him.

　Thank you to the boss Judge Tianshen for the reward. This is the first time I opened a new book. There was a reward from a boss on the first day. Thank you. Thank you to the boss Xingtian of Armor Fusion for the recommendation vote. Thank you to everyone who has followed it. I am extremely grateful. Thank you!
