A Timely Wife

No one thought that the world-famous First Army was developed from a small handicraft workshop. The First Army made great contributions to the rejuvenation of the Great Chu and the final realization of the unification of the world.

After listening to Steward Zhang's words, Chengdong became more fond of this old general Zhou, who had never met before. He was born in a military family, and he knew very well that the generals who can make his subordinates follow him here must have a unique personality. This sentence already outlines the image of an awe-inspiring middle-aged general.

"I would like to ask, do these thirty soldiers all have children?" Li Qi asked after listening to Steward Zhang's words, after thinking for a while.

Steward Zhang looked at Zhou Nuyuan, Zhou Nuyuan replied: "The group under my hands are all unmarried, the oldest is 17 years old, and the youngest is only 14 years old. There are more than 12 people, and I only have [-] people here."

Hearing this, Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. If there were only 12 people, it would be easier for him to arrange it. Now the courtyard with three entrances is already a bit crowded. Originally, he had the idea of ​​building a courtyard with three entrances. I was a little uncertain for a while, and I didn't know when it would be better to build it.

Since twelve people are going to come, I will go to the village chief to talk about this matter early tomorrow morning, buy all the land next to them, and build a bigger yard over there, except for the place where they live, the martial arts field The places where bows and crossbows are made should also be reserved, so that the place where you live and the place where you practice martial arts can be separated, and it is easier to take care of.

"I wonder how long it will take for these people to come?" Li Qi asked.

Zhou Nuyuan calculated in his mind, and said: "If they come here from the capital, it will take about two months."

Li Qi thought about it, and felt that the time could almost catch up. Although the time was tight, if he hired more craftsmen and started construction of several yards at the same time, he could still catch up, so he replied: "In this case, I will Tomorrow, I will go talk to the village chief about this matter, let’s talk about the Nursing Academy, it was originally a subordinate of the Zhou Nursing Academy, and it is also under the management of the Zhou Nursing Academy when we come here, so it’s not wrong to say that.”

But Zhou Nuyuan shook his head and said: "After these dozen or so people come, I am going to hand over to Young Fulang to take care of them. Everyone including me is going to let Young Fulang take care of them."

Chengdong was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously said: "No, I can't, you should change someone else, I can't do this thing, really, if I can do it, I will never shirk it, but I really don't care about this matter." If they are not competent, it would be better for the Zhou Nursing Institute to take care of it by themselves."

Zhou Nuyuan will never change the things that have been decided. Regarding Cheng Dong's words, he just said that he has made up his mind and asked Cheng Dong not to refuse, even if Cheng Dong refused, he would not accept it.

Chengdong felt as if he was being chased away, seeing that he couldn't convince Zhou Nuyuan, Cheng Dong subconsciously looked at Li Ruosong, with a strong pleading in his eyes, Li Ruosong was also a little afraid of Zhou Nuyuan, but Cheng Dong Dong looked at him with such eyes, and he didn't know where the courage came from that made Li Ruosong directly face Zhou Nuyuan.

"Zhou Nuyuan, please tell me something, let my husband take care of these people. Although Zhou Nuyuan recognizes my husband's ability so much, I am very proud to be his husband, but I I understand Fu Lang, he is very smart and good at doing these things, he can do these things for ten people alone, but if he is asked to control these people, I am afraid he will not be able to control them.

Don't say anything else, but as far as Zhou Huyuan is concerned, think about it carefully, if my husband hadn't made the Zhuge Liannu yesterday, would you want to bring Zhou's army here today?Do you want to hand over these dozen people, including yourself, to my husband?

I don't think so, if you are like this, then the people who come here will probably have the same idea, plus my husband doesn't appear often on weekdays, if it is because of these reasons that your subordinates don't accept my husband Lang, or because of this matter, I have opinions on my husband, Lang, or even you, so it is not a good thing for either party, what do you think? "

At first, Zhou Nuyuan dismissed Li Ruosong's words, but after hearing about his attitude towards Cheng Dong, Zhou Nuyuan was a little shaken. At that time, although he would not look down on Chengdong, he would not approach Chengdong either. In his opinion, Chengdong was not the same as himself.

It was only after getting in touch with Chengdong that he began to admire Chengdong, especially after what happened yesterday, he firmly wanted to hand over himself and his team to Chengdong. He felt that following Chengdong He can learn a lot, but after what Li Ruosong said, Zhou Huyuan felt that what Li Ruosong said was indeed reasonable. No matter how capable Cheng Dong was, it was useless if the people below couldn't see it. Those people's loyalty to the Zhou family is absolute, and they often look down on people outside the Zhou family. In addition, the Zhou family's army has always recruited on merit, and those who can enter are all outstanding children of each family. To put it bluntly, these Human beings are inherently arrogant, and it's impossible for them to admire Chengdong as soon as they come here.

Seeing Zhou Nuyuan's expression began to hesitate, Li Ruosong said while the iron was hot: "Actually, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want Fulang to do things, but we might as well change our approach. If there is a very suitable follower among the dozen or so people My husband is learning weapons, um, what's going on?"

Li Ruosong suddenly couldn't remember the word Chengdong told him, so he turned his head and asked Chengdong, and Chengdong continued: "The research and development of weapons depends on people. Some people are very savvy and can draw inferences from one instance. He taught how to make this kind of weapon, and he was able to transform several kinds of weapons. This kind of person can only be said to be met but not sought after. However, if there is such a person, I will have no problem with him , but if you want me to take care of the dozen or so of you, it's not that I'm shirking, but that I really don't have the ability. I'm worried that if I'm really allowed to join, the originally good team will be tossed apart by me. "

Listening to Wan Wandong's explanation, Zhou Nuyuan's original worries have dissipated a lot. He first said that he hoped to hand over Cheng Dong, including himself, mainly because he was afraid that Cheng Dong would not really take care of everything as he said. Teach him everything, although this kind of thinking is a bit of a villain's heart, but this kind of worry is not completely unreasonable. After all, they are not relatives, so why should they not hold back at all? Let me tell you, the common people say that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master. He doesn't believe that Cheng Dong is not worried about this problem at all. After all, Zhou Huyuan is not Chengdong's husband. For the rest of his life, it's not that Chengdong didn't worry about the disciples of the church starving to death of the master, but that no one could dig out the things in his mind. Even if Zhuge Liannu was taken away by others, Chengdong told himself Guns that can fire a lot of bullets at once, cannons that can blow down a city wall, hot air balloons and airplanes that can fly into the sky, and cars that can run fast without horses. It's impossible to imagine, and only Chengdong has seen these things, and only Chengdong knows how to do them, so Chengdong has no need to worry at all.

"Since the young husband and the eldest young master both said so, then I can rest assured. I will write a letter to them now, asking them to start from there in a few days and come here as soon as possible, and wait until they come over." It just happened to catch up with the busy farming season, and I can come over to help." Zhou Nuyuan finally took a step back and agreed with Chengdong and Li Ruosong.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong glanced at each other at the same time, seeing smiles in each other's eyes.

Even if this matter was settled, Li Qi called Guanshi Li immediately after they finished talking about it, and asked Li Guanshi to go to the town to find some craftsmen, but he didn't wait until the next day to find the village chief. After lunch, Li Qi and Li Liang went to visit the village head, and told the village head that they planned to buy the land next to their house.

The house Li Qi lives in is far from the village. The house itself is relatively close to the mountain. To put it bluntly, it is a lonely house built there. Before that, Li Qi wanted to live far away from the villagers so as not to He had a dispute with the villagers, and he couldn't buy houses in the village. Even if he could buy them, he wouldn't want to live in a house that others lived in. It would cost money anyway, so he might as well build a new house by himself. You can do it exactly as you want.

Now all the land around this house is unowned, and because it is not a homestead, the purchase price is not very expensive. Considering what they are going to do in the future, Li Qi decided to buy all the surrounding land , in addition to building a three-entry house, a large martial arts training ground must be built, and a row of houses dedicated to making bows and crossbows must be built. The secrecy must be strong. People who come and go are watched.

The most important thing is that it is a big taboo to build weapons privately. Once people find out, everyone here will lose their lives, because the imperial court explicitly prohibits them. Small things, if they are not done well, the nine clans will be wiped out, which is more troublesome.

In addition to these, the school can be placed in the first courtyard of their old house for a short period of time, and they still have to change places in the future. Instead of the trouble of exchanging in the future, it is better to build a house with three entrances now, and the area can be small. One point, the entrance at the front is for kids to read and practice calligraphy, the entrance in the middle is for the master, and the entrance at the end can be seen as a study room, which is specially used to store some books for borrowing by everyone in the village. This idea is still a building brought up earlier.
