Civilization spreads to another world

"My lord, Qingshi is back!"

Long Zhi quickly ran over to report the message.

Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the stake, rushed out the door, ran out of the new village in one breath, and ran to the entrance of the original Baishan Village.

He didn't stop until he saw Qingshi and Jinyi, bent down and gasped for breath.

came back!still alive!

Huo Ci followed and supported him: "It's okay, they're all here, they're all alive."

Qingshi came up to them and saluted them: "Report, sir, 21 people left, 21 people came back, no injuries!"

Jin Yi hurried over to claim credit: "Look, my lord, we have bought a lot of food!"

Shi Yu's heart that had been hanging for four days finally let go.

Then he noticed a group of people behind him.

"So many?" He was surprised.

He did ask Qingshi and Jinyi to try to see if they could bring some people back, especially the craftsmen, but he did not expect to bring so many people back at once.

It is estimated that there are nearly three hundred.

Jin Yi grabbed the bluestone and talked about the ins and outs with a smile on his face.

It turned out that when they arrived at Xiangkui Town, they found that most of the serfs in the territory had gathered outside Xiangkui Town. Like Baishan Village, other villages had been raided for food. When winter came, the serfs starved to death one by one. Everyone dared not go to the baron's manor, and all ran to Xiangkui Town.

Most of the people living in the town were free folk, including the families of the baron's officers.

At first, the baron had people close the entrance to Xiangkui Town and sent knights to drive away the serfs, but a fight broke out, killing many serfs and a knight.

In the end, the whole family of the serfs who killed the knights were executed by the baron, and the other serfs could stay outside Xiangkui Town, and they were allowed to catch fish in the river to satisfy their hunger.

That's why they've caught fewer and smaller fish recently.

Jin Yi marveled: "I grew up so old that I didn't know there were so many fish in the Green River."

Shi Yu joked, "Why do you want to stay in Xiangkui Town to catch fish?"

Jin Yi hurriedly shook his head to express his loyalty: "No, no, I am the servant of the lord. I will be there wherever the lord is. There are a lot of fish in the town, but half of the fish caught must be handed over to the baron. How can the lord be kind?"

"I still have to hand it in?" Shi Yu frowned, "All the serfs are willing?"

Jin Yi was surprised: "Of course I would, if it wasn't for the baron's grace, they would have starved to death."

Shi Yu had nothing to say for a moment.

Huo Ci signaled Jin Yi to continue.

When Jin Yi and Qing Shi arrived in Xiangkui Town, more than half a month had passed since the bloodshed. Originally, the baron asked the serfs to go back to the village to fish separately, but the serfs did not leave. They stayed outside Xiangkui Town and fished during the day. Come back to sleep at night.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci exchanged glances.

There must be a smart man among these serfs!

If the serfs listened to the baron and returned to the village, they might be intercepted and killed by the knights in batches, and with more people and more strength, they could catch more fish.

And before the serfs besieged Xiangkui Town, someone was definitely behind the scenes.

Shi Yu was a little surprised. It turned out that not all serfs were only obedient and obedient, and there were still some who had a sense of resistance.

Although this sense of resistance is a little weaker, just fighting for survival, at least there is.

In order to prevent the serfs from mixing into the town, the baron sent someone to guard the entrance. They would not have been able to enter at all if they hadn't had Jin Yi on their trip.

Jin Yi took credit for this very proudly, and was praised by Shi Yu and Huo Ci before continuing.

Most people in Xiangkui Town knew Jin Yi, a peddler, and he found the owner of the bakery without any trouble. He exchanged empty glass bottles for five carts of grain.

This is not over yet, Jin Yi originally planned to take the bottle of wine to a squire he knew in exchange for money and other things, but the owner of the bakery found that he still had a bottle, and heard that it was wine, he was willing to exchange more food .

In the end, Jin Yi changed to ten carts of grain, plus salt, vinegar, sugar, cloth and so on.

He excitedly took it from the car and showed it off.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci skipped the cloth and looked at the grain first.

The staple food in this territory is wheat, half of what Jin Yi brings back is wheat bran and half is black flour.

Although they had already prepared themselves, the two modern people who grew up eating refined rice noodles were still shocked.

Forget about the black flour, at least it feels like flour, and the wheat bran looks like sawdust to the two of them, can this be eaten?

However, the village chief who followed was already so excited that he carefully picked up a handful of wheat bran, smelled it, and was about to cry with his lips trembling.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci were speechless.

In any case, the food problem has been temporarily resolved.

The seasoning cloth and seeds were put aside first, and they would be tidied up later, and the two asked about the extra people.

Jin Yi: "Your Excellency told us to find a craftsman to come back, but people are not allowed to go out casually in the town, and I didn't complete the task that your lord gave me. I was very sad. Fortunately, when I left the city, I saw a craftsman I knew among the serfs..."

It turns out that the village is not necessarily full of serfs, there are also free people.

Especially in some villages close to towns, many craftsmen do not have houses in the towns and do not want to spend money to pay rent, so they choose to live in the villages.

This time they were also affected. Although they were free citizens, they were also refused to enter the town.

Jin Yi used to be a businessman and knew these people very well. Seeing this, he had an idea and invited them to go with him.

Seeing that he was pulling so much food, these people agreed without saying a word.

Jin Yi asked them to look for other craftsmen, and they spread the word to ten. In the end, many people followed, and there were more, but after walking for a while, they seemed to think that Jin Yi had become a robber, and went back in fright.

Speaking of robbers, Shi Yuxin raised it: "You haven't met any robbers, have you?"

"No." Jin Yi himself was a little confused.

Qingshi puffed out his chest: "The robber must have scared us away because of the number of us."

Shi Yu and Huo Ci couldn't guess the reason, so they could only put it aside for the time being, and briefly discussed how to arrange these people.

From the appearance of these people, Goldfinger reminded them that the conditions for unlocking the next area had been fulfilled, and the two chose the area that included the original Baishan Village, which happened to be adjacent to the new village.

The baron obviously didn't care about the condition of the village at all, and he would only be happy if he knew that they took in the serfs.

If there are more than 100 people in Guangbai Mountain Village, they can still hide. If there are too many people, there will always be traces. Since the baron doesn't care, there is no need to hide deliberately.

Moreover, Shi Yu and Huo Ci had a premonition that they might accept more people in the future.

Jin Yi and Qingshi were only happy to have bought the food, but Shi Yu and Huo Ci felt that something was wrong.

How did a bakery owner take out thousands of catties of grain at once?

Even if he has the habit of hoarding goods, the front line has been reduced to the point of plundering food from serfs. How could he let these merchants who are obviously related to food go.

Shi Yuzai inquired carefully about the process of Jin Yi's transaction with the other party, and always felt that the other party was faintly revealing a kind of eagerness, and he not only sold to Jin Yi, but also sold to other merchants.

It's like rushing to exchange for money and then fly away.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci looked at each other in surprise, a secret worry arose in their hearts.

If it's what they think, I'm afraid there will be trouble.

But all of this is just their speculation, and the situation may not be so bad.

The grain brought back was first brought back to the new village behind. Shiyu had already built a granary, but he did not expect so much grain to be brought back, so he built another granary next to it.

When he finished the construction, Jin Yi had already taken Chongshan and counted the three people who would bring them back.

A total of 240 three people.

There are no old people, no young children, the oldest is 42, and the youngest is twelve.

"The old man and the children are all dead." Jin Yi whispered.

Shi Yu paused and changed the subject.

Among these 240 people, there are 190 men, 52 women, and only [-] craftsmen, eight of whom are apprentices.

But something is better than nothing.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci called these people out, and then performed building a house out of thin air in front of everyone.

The new arrivals were stunned.

Jin Yi took the opportunity to publicize the identities of the two god envoys. The refugees were both surprised and happy, and they all knelt down and kowtowed, just like the villagers in Baishan Village when they first saw them.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci only put on the benevolent smiles that belonged to the envoys of the gods.

The two built three shacks and distributed them to thirteen craftsmen.

The rest of them moved into the vacant houses left by the villagers of Baishan Village.

You can't put them into the new village without confirming whether there are black sheep in it, and this has become an unlocked area, so there is no need to hide them all in the new village.

Most importantly, there are not many gold coins left.

The huts are cheap, but the granaries and cabbage fields are not cheap. One granary costs [-] gold coins, two cost [-], and the cabbage fields cost [-]. Shiyu built ten in one go.

Also, the water wells used to be worth changing rooms and canteens. The shacks and thatched huts are cheap, but the dripping water is like a river, and the total is nearly [-].

There are many things, half of the starting capital of [-] has been spent.

Now that there are so many people here again, we must save some money.

"It's time to study and make some money." Huo Ci said.

Shi Yu was deeply convinced.

With the craftsman, there are more than 200 more manpower, and then everything seems to be accelerated by magic.

The stacked logs became useful, and quickly became pieces of furniture, such as benches, tables, boxes, cabinets, beds, and even the Chinese-style Duobao Pavilion that Shi Yu tried to draw. The two oldest craftsmen studied carefully After a while, I tried for a few days and made it.

The water well is equipped with wheels, so that the water no longer has to be pulled up.

The dinner plates that the two wanted were also made, so there was no need to worry about the lack of pottery bowls, including simple wooden barrels and wooden basins, and every household had one.

There is also a wooden bathtub, Shi Yu and Huo Ci can finally take a bath to their heart's content.

Although firewood is useless, the most indispensable thing on this mountain is wood.

And with a craftsman, there is no need for Shiyu to spend gold coins to upgrade the house. The model is placed there, and the model is directly built after research. There is no straw, and the wooden house is directly built, which is better than the shack and thatched house at the beginning.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci could finally try firing ceramics.

Although these craftsmen didn't know how to do it, it didn't hinder them from experimenting, so the potter asked the blacksmith to try it.

Including soap, toothbrush, papermaking, etc., the two of them can remember the general principles of small inventions and try them one by one.

Refugees are busier than craftsmen, cutting trees, fishing, hunting, building houses, plowing land, repairing roads...

And most importantly, build the city wall.

The news that Jin Yi brought back from this trip gave Shi Yu and Huo Ci a sense of crisis. Everything else can be taken care of. The city wall must be built first, even an earthen wall will do.

For a while, the whole village was in full swing, and it was a busy scene.
