Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 231 I want to rename

The scorching sun hangs high.

Chen Zheng rode his horse to the vicinity of the manor outside Jianzhou City, accompanied by a little girl named Jinse.Looking around, you can see a thriving scene of working.Different people are working hard in the field. Because of Chen Zheng's reward regulations, the output of this hundred acres of land is not only Chen Zheng's but also some of the laborers. Naturally, they do their best when they work. If he dares to slack off in the slightest, his enthusiasm is very high. It is estimated that he has reached the point where he can be impatient with you if you don't let him work.

When Chen Zheng got off his horse, a stranger came to greet him. A shrewd man who looked about thirty came up, with a small tail behind him, and his face was very serious. His little tail was shaking uncomfortably, which made Chen Zheng secretly amused.

"Meet the young master."

"Oh, it's okay, excuse me, remember that I don't like these etiquettes, just talk normally." Chen Zheng waved his hand. Sometimes these strangers are very simple, but sometimes they are really Some stubborn.

However, Chen Zheng could clearly feel the surge of blood in this strange person with his naked eyes, and his complexion was also radiant, so he nodded involuntarily. His blood is very abundant, and he must be a good player in the future if he can practice martial arts.

Jinse also introduced from the side: "Master, this is Gong Kui, the steward of our manor. Let's go to the manor first, and then we will talk about it in detail."

Chen Zheng nodded, and the three walked towards the inside of the manor.The strangers working in the fields nearby glanced at their master's house from a distance, and then devoted themselves to the work gratefully.

When he came to the inner room of the manor, Chen Zheng took the main seat very naturally, and soon a foreign maid brought him tea.

This time I used some black tea from Xiliang. Although it is of the highest grade from time to time, it has a unique flavor and is sweet and delicious.Although the weather has gotten warmer now, there is still a cool breeze outside, and with the wind blowing, you can still feel a little bit of the faint fragrance of flowers, which is just two words comfortable.

After Jinse and Gong Kui were seated, Chen Zheng asked, "How is the current state of the manor?"

"Master, I've been practicing martial arts recently, and I haven't been to the manor a few times. If I want to come to Mr. Gong to have a certain understanding of the work of the manor, let Mr. Gong talk about it." Jinse smiled and asked Gong Kui to come up and talk.His eyes were still pointing to Gong Kui, obviously he wanted to give the credit to Gong Kui, Gong Kui naturally understood what Jin Se meant, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and then he bowed and began to report in detail .

"Master, after my calculation, the current one hundred acres of land have been cultivated and sown. The current growth rate is good, and there may be a bumper harvest this fall. There are currently 470 strangers in the manor... . . ”

Gong Kui reported all the details of the manor in an orderly manner, and it seemed that he had worked hard at ordinary times. With this serious attitude, even if he had no talent, Chen Zheng was ready to promote him.

"Very good, Gong Kui explained it in detail. Since you are already very familiar with these tasks, I will let you be in charge of the big and small matters of the manor. From today onwards, you will be the first boss of my Chen family Manager, Jinse, hand it over as soon as you get back, and transfer the people in that part of the manor from your subordinates to Gong Kui's management, and Gong Kui will be your direct subordinate to assist you in handling the work." Chen Zheng waved his hand, first Give Gong Kui a taste of the sweetness, give Gong Kui a suitable platform, proper exercise, and it will be easier to convince people.

"Yes, young master, this servant understands." Jinse also agreed with a happy face. It's great to have someone from the same clan help her to share a little work pressure.

Gong Kui is of course very grateful. Although there are many strangers in the Chen family, many powers have not been delegated. Originally, the old man Wang Sanyun was mainly responsible, but he fished when he had nothing to do, so many things were done by Jinse. It can be said that Jinse is the one with the highest status among other people, and the others do not have such great rights. Being able to become the first big steward means that Gong Kui has already entered Chen Zheng's eyes. As long as he works hard in the future, rewards are certain Indispensable, I am used to the bitter days, but no one will dislike the lack of rewards.

"By the way, Gong Kui just has a few things that you should write down first, and they need to be done well. This is related to the foundation of our Chen family." Chen Zheng suddenly had a whim, and remembered some things. I didn't say it, and now it's time to arrange for Gong Kui to do it.

"Master, please tell me, the villain will definitely do his best." Looking at Gong Kuina's serious application, Chen Zheng reckoned that this kid was about to issue a military order.

"Okay, there are two things first. The first is the area of ​​cultivated land. We should expand it as much as possible if the money in our government allows. But remember, we want good fields and good land, but we don't want to enclave land. That's not enough. It is suitable for management. This matter should be taken slowly. After all, food is the foundation, and you all know that I work in the Embroidery Guard. The barbarians in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang and some people with bad intentions have started to do things secretly, although it has not yet been revealed. It’s a young age, but there is absolutely no problem with farming yield, this is the most important thing, and I hope you can do it well.”

"The second thing is to train soldiers."

"Practice... Bing?" Gong Kui screamed out, realizing something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth.Private soldiers are strictly controlled by the Beiyan court. On the surface, only those with titles can train private soldiers. Otherwise, no matter how high your official position is, if there are private soldiers under your command, the court can definitely arrest them for treason. execute.

Some people may think that private soldiers and servants are the same thing, but in fact they are not.To put it bluntly, the servant is just a servant, and many times he can do things for the master's family. It is exactly the kind of brick that can be moved wherever there is a gap.

If there are two laundry men missing here today, they will be called two servants. If there are two grooms missing tomorrow, two servants will come here. If there are two less patrolmen the day after tomorrow, two servants will be called to go up.Although it is often said that servants will go through life and death for the master's family, and perhaps some of them have strong personal strength. The master's family has rewarded them with cultivation methods and elixirs, but they have not experienced systematic training in many cases.The fighting power has not been brought into full play.

But private soldiers are different.They are dedicated to killing and protecting their masters.Every private soldier has invested a lot of effort.From weapons and equipment, daily diet, kung fu pills, gold and jade rewards, and even professional warriors to come for systematic training, if possible, it would be even better to find veterans who joined the army to come over and learn from the battle formation. The method, the art of joint attack, can often explode with stronger lethality.

Gong Kui subconsciously thought that his young master was going to practice private soldiers, and he was sweating from fright. If the court found out, even if his whole body was full of mouths, he wouldn't be able to tell.

Chen Zheng patted his forehead, coughed, he gasped for breath but scared others.He explained: "Gong Kui, you are thinking too much. The training I am talking about is not private soldiers, but foreign soldiers in the form of military training. If more than 400 people go to work, it is a waste of labor, and it is troublesome now. We You must plan ahead. You should all know that if you have a second-hand skill, you may be able to save your life when you encounter a crisis. So I decided that everyone in our manor should work on time in the future when the farming is busy. But a certain degree of military training is required during the break. I have already found the instructor for you, that is, Tan Daoji who once taught you, but Lao Tan is still working in the Embroidery Guard, so there may not be much time Come to teach you, so you first select [-] people who are more outstanding to receive Tan Daoji's training first, and these [-] people will be responsible for the next daily training, and this matter will be handed over to you, Gong Kui."

"Yes, master, the villain will definitely manage it well." Gong Kui agreed on the surface very happily, but he also had some guesses in his heart. Although he said that he would not train private soldiers, his young master's behavior was obviously to go to the private soldiers. Yes, it's just that they didn't put it on the bright side and kept this fig leaf.The young master has a big plan, so he has to do his best.

On the way back to the city, Chen Zheng and Jinse were also chatting and laughing, maybe because they saw people of the same clan living well, or because they loved the life in front of them, Chen Zheng always felt that the girl Jinse seemed to be more cheerful than before Now, it's not like she was a timid little girl at the beginning, and she also has a little majesty belonging to the management, she seems to have grown up a lot.

However, the prompt sound of the system at this time also made it too late for Chen Zheng to think too much. Instead, it urged the horses to return to the mansion in Jianzhou City one step faster.

At this time, the crisp system prompt sound is so pleasant to the ears.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission [Caring for Subordinates] Mission reward: 1 merit point."

That's right, Chen Zheng's visit to the manor this time was entirely due to system tasks.Originally, Chen Zheng was obsessed with practicing kung fu these days and had no interest in foreign affairs.

If the trip to the grassland is two months later, although there are helpers to help, Chen Zheng feels that he can be stronger, but the danger will be less in the end. Naturally, he will practice hard, hoping to make a breakthrough in cultivation .

However, breaking through the Luck Realm is more difficult for Chen Zheng than ordinary people.Because, the true meaning of the Luck Realm is that warriors try to control the movement of true qi, guide the real qi into the limbs, and finally achieve something as simple as eating and drinking water, then they can try to break through to the stage of circulating the meridians of the sky and enter the stage of the sky. .

As a result, Chen Zheng's zhenqi far surpassed that of people in the same realm, but it caused some difficulties in manipulating it. Currently, only about one-third of the zhenqi in Chen Zheng's body can be used at will, and he can use it however he wants, while the rest is It requires the combination of mental methods, formulas and the connection between true qi to mobilize. Just a few days of hard work is not enough for Chen Zheng to break through to the middle stage of luck.

It was at this time that the system suddenly released a task, and the task reward was also very simple, just merit points.But Chen Zheng still values ​​​​it very much. After all, there is an unknown mysterious egg in the room of his system space. He has luck, but he has never had a clue about merit points. If it were not a task of the system, he would probably get it. No, but Chen Zheng also began to wonder, is it because the system thinks that he is not interested in obtaining merit points, and there is really no other way, so he uses this method to awaken the consciousness of the egg?If Chen Zheng's conjecture is correct, then this egg may be something extraordinary. Even the system values ​​it so much that it even opens a backdoor for it. This makes Chen Zheng even more concerned and he can't wait to know. What the hell is that.

After finally agreeing to come to the system space, Chen Zheng didn't care whether there was anyone in the inn at this time, and came to his room in a hurry, and immediately touched the egg with his hand.An interface popped up.

"Consume 100 luck points and 1 merit point to activate the mysterious egg, confirm/cancel."

"Confirm." It's as if the mental retardation has touched it by itself, so it must be confirmed.

In an instant, Chen Zheng felt a chill on his body, as if something had been extracted. This is the effect of luck value and merit value being extracted. At the same time, Chen Zheng's hand suddenly felt a lump The bright yellow light, with a warm feeling, slowly penetrated into the eggshell.

And the egg was like the rain after a long drought, absorbing the power of light to its heart's content, absorbing nutrients, and soon without the system saying more, Chen Zheng felt that there seemed to be a little life in the egg, and he could feel it. The eggshell was trembling slightly, it was already a living thing, not like it was a complete decoration before.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully activating Eggy. This egg is an important thing for the host, and it will also be the main task of the host for the next period of time, which is to raise eggs. From today onwards, the host will be an honorable breeder, but the object is not cats and dogs. , but an egg. However, the system hereby solemnly reminds the host that the egg is also alive, and it is also conscious. Although it cannot communicate with you now, the egg can feel your every move. Please host Be cautious in your words and deeds, and be an excellent successor in raising eggs."

Well, now that he has become a breeder, Chen Zheng waved his hand and opened the system panel of Eggy, almost vomiting blood.

【Chen Zheng's balls】

【Incubation period】

[The distance from breaking the shell requires 500 luck points and 10 merit points]

What the hell, how could it be called Chen Zheng's balls? Chen Zheng immediately protested to the system, thinking that the system was targeting him. Fortunately, the system was also a reasonable person, and soon allowed Chen Zheng to change his name.

The name Eggy is really scary sometimes, but what name should I change?
