If the bragging comes true, then it doesn’t count as bragging.

Great Zhou Dynasty.

Canal construction site.

Ye Chen has stopped digging canals recently.

He obtained copper coins by digging wild vegetables and reselling them to the system, which he exchanged for a large amount of pickles and white porridge.

Then in the middle of the night, Qing Mimi gave pickles and white porridge to the fellow campers.

The peasants were so hungry that they couldn't sleep and depended on a bowl of vegetable soup every day.

After working these days, I almost died.

Unexpectedly, when they saw the warm white porridge that Ye Chen gave them, they burst into tears of excitement.

One by one they ate hungrily.

While eating, he promised that Ye Chen would be the only one to follow his lead in the future.

They have been forced to do corvee labor in the past few days, and they, the common people, have finally figured it out.

The imperial court did not regard them as human beings at all, but as donkeys.

They have starved to death this month and many people have been beaten to death.

If nothing happens, in a few days, they, the common people, will become cold skeletons and be buried by the canal.

At the darkest moment of their lives, Ye Chen was like a ray of light, shining into their lives.

The common people all have the idea of ​​following Ye Chen in their hearts.

In this way, Ye Chen recruited dozens of civilians.

With the help of dozens of younger brothers, Ye Chen dug wild vegetables faster.

but.

Recently, Ye Chen stopped digging wild vegetables. Instead, he led a group of boys to cut down trees where the canal was planned to flow.

In the imperial court's plan, the canal needed to pass through some forests.

These forests are hundreds of thousands of years old.

The ancient trees inside are towering.

There are countless precious woods.

There are all kinds of woods such as golden nanmu and agarwood.

Ye Chen discovered that cutting these woods was much more valuable than digging wild vegetables.

Especially for agarwood, the system offered a high price for one tael of agarwood and one tael of gold.

With such valuable wood in front of him, why would Ye Chen dig wild vegetables?

He took his subordinates directly, applied to the supervisor, and ran to the front to cut down the trees.

When he heard that Ye Chen wanted to cut down the tree, the supervisor agreed without saying a word.

From the supervisor's point of view, cutting down trees is no simple job.

Much more difficult than digging a canal.

Their tools are simple axes, and most of those ancient trees are too big for two people to hug.

It is definitely a tiring job to cut down such a big tree.

I don't know what kind of illness this kid Ye Chen has, but he has to rush to do the work that even the common people are unwilling to do.

But the supervisor was happy to let him do it.

this day.

The sun is rising.

Gou Xiong Ridge.

Ye Chen and his two dozen younger brothers were chopping down trees with great interest.

"80, 80, 80."

Ye Chen took the lead, carrying a big ax and heading towards a big tree with a diameter of two meters.

The sharp ax hit the big tree, knocking out countless wood chips.

I saw that about 20 centimeters of gouge marks had been made.

Suddenly, two large bears over two meters tall emerged from the woods, pointing at Ye Chen angrily and speaking in bear language.

"Humans, don't even think about destroying our woods."

To the ears of the people, these two bears were howling.

But Ye Chen could understand their meaning.

For no other reason, he recently took a certificate.

[Certificate of Proficiency in Commonly Used Languages ​​in All Worlds]

Due to the sudden appearance of the bear, the villagers were a little panicked.

Nothing else. The bear's body, which is more than two meters tall, can really cause a great sense of oppression to humans.

However, this was not the first time that these two bears had come. The villagers also had experience in dealing with them. They stopped what they were doing, gathered in a circle with axes, and watched the bears warily.

Hearing Gou Xiong's words, Ye Chen, who was surrounded by everyone, had a headache.

"Xiong Da, Xiong Er, I told you, I just need to dig out a passage, not cut down all your forests."

In the past two days, these two bears have been fighting with them every day, trying to get them to stop cutting.

But how could Ye Chen agree?

Each of these big trees represents a lot of money.

This is his capital to establish himself in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xiong Daxiong Er heard Ye Chen's words and instantly understood what Ye Chen meant.

They were also surprised that they could understand Ye Chen's words, but they were simple-minded and didn't think too much.

Knowing that Ye Chen insisted on cutting down, Xiong Daxiong Er was extremely angry.

Especially Xiong Da, he put his hands on his hips and pointed at the big tree that Ye Chen was cutting down: "You can't cut down a single tree. Do you know that the tree you cut down belongs to my good brother Little Squirrel?" Home, if you cut down the tree, where will the little squirrel live?”

"Uh." Ye Chen looked at the tree he was chopping down and found that there was indeed a tree hole on the top of the tree. A furry head poked out of the tree hole and was poking its brain towards him.

He was holding a pine cone in his hand, and it looked like he wanted to hit Ye Chen.

It should be the little squirrel that Xiong Da mentioned as his good brother.

At this moment, the little squirrel's big eyes showed anger and fear, but in short, he looked lovable.

Ye Chen coughed and said, "Well, we have to cut down trees, but we won't cut down too much. We just need to open up a passage of about 80 meters. Also, how about I pay you compensation? I'll give it to you." It’s such a big lump of honey to eat.”

Ye Chen opened his hands as wide as possible, making a big lump.

His god-level sign-in system has grown a lot recently. In addition to pickles and white porridge, it can also be exchanged for other things.

Among them is wild honey.

"Honey?"

Hearing that there was honey to eat, Xiong Daxiong Er swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I have to say that Xiong Da and Xiong Er were deeply moved.

They have tasted honey, which is extremely delicious.

But if they steal honey, they will often be stung by bees, so they love and fear honey.

"You can't bribe us, we are not that kind of bear." Xiong Da said with difficulty.

Xiong Er also chimed in: "Boss is right, if you dare to chop down our trees, we, the Bear Clan, will fight you to the death."

Xiong Da continued: "You're right, don't think that we are afraid of you because you have an axe. Let me tell you, there are many bears in our Bear Clan, and there are also Tiger Clan and Leopard Clan. Believe it or not, I can shoot a thousand cloud-piercing arrows. Thousands of troops are coming to meet you."

"How about two lumps?" Ye Chen quoted again.

"Stop tempting us, we won't be tempted." Xiong Da wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth.

"Three lumps, no more." Ye Chen stretched out three fingers and said firmly.

Hearing that he could get three big lumps of honey, Xiong Da Xiong Da was so excited that he almost fell down.

Fortunately, they supported each other and managed to stand firm.

"Well, little squirrel, come down, Xiong Er and I will find you a new home." Xiong Da looked at the top of the tree and waved to his good brother, little squirrel.

The little squirrel, who was watching from the hole in the tree, was stunned for a moment.

Didn't you say that you won't be moved?

Why are you asking me to move?

Are you determined to fight to the end?

That's it?

The little squirrel ran down from the tree with a drooping face.

Big Bear and Big Bear didn't resist anymore. This little squirrel would definitely not be able to defeat the humans in front of them, so they had no choice but to give up their tree holes.

Seeing that Xiong Daxiong Er has compromised and made way for himself.

Ye Chen did what he said, and immediately took out three large lumps of honey and gave them to Xiong Daxiong Er. At the same time, he also stuffed a handful of pine nuts into the dejected little squirrel.

The little squirrel's eyes lit up when he saw the pine nuts. The short legs in front took the pine nuts from Ye Chen's hand and stuffed them into his mouth. His cheeks suddenly bulged.

The resentment towards Ye Chen in his heart also dissipated a lot.

Why don't you just move? What's the big deal.

move.

Move immediately.

that's it.

Ye Chen solved the animal problem in the woods and continued to cut down trees.
