Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

There is no rush to improve education, he has plenty of time, so he can take his time, Zhong Qingran thought so.

After finishing all the affairs of the academy, Zhong Qingran looked up at the sky and saw that there was still some time before lunch, so he simply got up and planned to go around the various branches.Promulgating new rules without seeing it with your own eyes and knowing the actual situation is just like talking on paper.

Just this one time is not enough, Zhong Qingran decided that in the future, when he is free, he will come to the academy more often, and then find someone to gather up the troubles encountered by teachers and students, or those unreasonable things, and then they will be corrected together. .

There were not many students in the academy, so Zhong Qingran didn't spend much time, so he went through it roughly.This time he did not go back to the School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but instead went to the School of Arts to pick up Jian Mingchen.

The moment the bell rang, many classes instantly became noisy.Under such circumstances, even if some teachers did not finish their lectures, they ended in a hurry and waited for the next time to explain in detail.After a busy morning, no matter whether it is a husband or a student, everyone is hungry. If they don't add some nutrition, they will be unsustainable.Gentlemen are aware of this, so the last class is usually finished ahead of time, leaving a little time for students to study by themselves.

"Mingchen, this way." Zhong Qingran waved his hand.

Jian Mingchen followed the sound and saw at a glance that Zhong Qingran, who stood out from the crowd, trotted forward, with a big smile on his face: "Big brother, why are you here?"

"I have something to do, no, seeing that it's almost time for school, I'll drop by to pick you up." Zhong Qingran won't intentionally show how nice he is to Jian Mingchen, that's really meaningless, "But I haven't seen you in a month , why do I see that your face is rounder?"

Not only did Zhong Qingran say that, but he even touched it with his hands, which made Jian Mingchen blush with shame.

"What's the matter, it's better for a child to be fatter. Besides, you are still a long way from being fat." Zhong Qingran said while paying attention to Jian Mingchen's expression, seeing the blush on his face gradually faded, he finally felt relieved.

It's not easy for this kid. What Mingyu said last time was good. The knot in his heart in the morning has indeed been untied. When he said that, he only blushed for a while. After a while, it returned to normal, and he even told him It's a good thing that she laughs and is more lively than before, no wonder she gained some weight during this time.

"Tomorrow morning, there are a lot of small animals at home, and you know this. Today, grandparents will each pick one to keep by their side. What about you? You have to wait a little longer. Don't think too much, the family The same goes for everyone else." Zhong Qingran took precautions in advance and resolutely put an end to the estrangement caused by poor communication. In the end, the gap became bigger and bigger, and they could no longer live in harmony.Thinking about the result, he felt terrible.

Jian Mingchen nodded sensiblely, showing two small canine teeth, and responded with a smile: "It's good that I have Xiaohua by my side."

Zhong Qingran didn't say much, and walked slowly towards Zhong's house with a small schoolbag in one hand and Jian Mingchen in the other.Some strong sunlight at noon shone on the two of them, leaving a faint light and shadow.

Sleepy in spring, exhausted in autumn, and dozing off in summer, Meimei had a good lunch, and after walking for a while to digest food, as soon as she sat down on a chair, not long after, several members of the Zhong family all dozed off at the same time.Everyone had nothing to do at noon, they all obeyed their instincts, responded to Zhou Gong's call, and fell into a sound sleep one after another.

After a short rest, Jian Mingchen went to the academy with his schoolbag on his shoulders, while the other four members of Zhong's family sat around in the main room, busy with the work at hand, and chatted casually at the same time.

"Grandpa, in the past month, no other tribal people have visited Fucheng?" Zhong Qingran was a little puzzled.Merchants seek profit, and new forces appear. It is obvious that all tribes are welcome to come to conduct business transactions.

"Well, only Walin Village and Moxi Tribe sent people over to have a look, and bought some goods to go back. The other tribes haven't acted yet. Presumably, they are still waiting and watching." Having said that, Mr. Zhong paused. Then he continued, "Walin Village and Moxi Tribe are the two tribes closest to Fucheng, and it's not yet the harvest season. I thought, even if someone from other tribes has this idea, they have to inquire first and make sure. Only when there are no potential dangers can we lead the team with confidence.”

Zhong Qingran agreed with Mr. Zhong's statement.Hanhai Prefecture is not peaceful, not to mention wolves haunting it from time to time, and we have to guard against the elusive robbers.

These robbers are different from the bandits that Zhong Qingran wiped out, they have always existed before, and they didn't just rise up in recent years.The two groups of people can be regarded as a red face and a bad face. If there were no such robbers on the surface, how could the robbers pretend to be defenders?The small and medium-sized tribes will not accept their exploitation so obediently.

Without him, as long as the small and medium-sized tribes hand in the offerings on time, they will not be robbed by robbers.It can be said that the bandits standing behind the small and medium-sized tribes as guards, to a certain extent, have indeed acted as the patron saint of everyone. As long as you don't think deeply about the relationship between the two, you can still live.

Hanhai Prefecture has a vast territory and sparsely populated areas. The tribes control limited areas, and there are many no-man's lands. This greatly increases the survival rate of the robbers. It is not easy to catch them.

Originally, the robbers were just a deterrent, and they came out occasionally to let the tribes know that there was such a threat, so as to make them less disgusted with the so-called "protectors".Today, most of the "protectors" have been wiped out, and only the part of the robbers that colluded with the "protectors" but was not incorporated remains.Even so, these resurgent robbers still caused a lot of trouble for the tribes to travel.

Getting something for nothing is addictive. The robbers can live a comfortable life by plundering, and it may be difficult for them to return to peace.

Since most of the "protectors" were silently dealt with, the major tribes were very afraid of the behind-the-scenes, and let them raise a bunch of robbers who were unwilling to do anything but rob. How can you be happy?Besides, if they were really brought into the tribe, once the identity of the robbers was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests, this is really not a joke.It’s okay for the various tribes to tinker with various methods behind the scenes, but they must stand upright on the surface. Even if it is a large tribe, it is enough for them to drink a pot. It may not be obvious in a short period of time. Over time, the decline of the tribe is inevitable. .

You must know that large tribes are different from small and medium tribes. People from various tribes will stay in the tribe for a long time, and the population flow is much higher than that of small tribes with stagnant water.If the small and medium-sized tribes unite and secretly drag the big tribes back, this energy must not be underestimated.

The key point is that the big tribes are not monolithic. One day, if any big tribe appears to be in decline, for the sake of their own interests, they will never hesitate to step on it again, and they have to bite off a piece of meat to survive. Let go of the original partner.

All in all, in a word, if you travel alone, you can only hope for luck and avoid all dangers. Only in this way can you reach your destination safely. Otherwise, as long as you encounter any of the above-mentioned situations, the result will be fine. Foresight, it will definitely not be too wonderful.

The situation is much better now, the number of robbers has dropped sharply, but people still have to travel in groups, there are no absolutes in the world, not afraid of [-], just in case.It is better to live than to die. Even if there are slaves who do not have personal freedom, there are not many people who are not afraid of life and death, let alone ordinary tribesmen who have a good life.

After getting a general idea, Zhong Qingran went to Zhong Zhengyi and Zhong Qingshu's place again. Based on all kinds of information, he found that the only trip of the Huaxia caravan was not fruitless. The three who reached a cooperation intention with Fucheng Commercial Co., Ltd. Moxi tribal merchants, their movements really showed that his plan was likely to be realized.

The other tribes didn't move at all, but the three merchants from the Moxi tribe came together and bought several carriage goods.The Moxi tribe did not have such a strong consumption power, and Zhong Qingran knew without guessing where the excess supplies went, it must be exported to other tribes.

This is a good thing, Zhong Qingran didn't mind before no other tribesmen came to Fucheng from afar to conduct business activities, and let the three partners make a profit.Once Fucheng's goods entered the tribes, he would not believe it. No one would not be envious of the benefits. Presumably, it would not take long before someone would come to share a piece of the pie.Money touches people's hearts, as long as the benefits are large enough, no matter how dangerous the journey is, some people will be willing to take the risk.

Zhong Qingran strolled on the main street of Shangqingfang, looking at the shops facing the street with courtyards, the corner of his mouth curled into a nice arc.Regardless of how deserted it is now, there is no one on the whole street except for the masons. He believes that it will take a long time for this place to take on a new look and become so lively that it is unbelievable.

This is not Zhong Qingran's blind self-confidence, he has a reason.Since the establishment of Fucheng, in just over half a year, the population growth has been predictable. There are many women in Jiqingfang who are pregnant, and there will only be more in Xiangqingfang.In recent years, the population of Fucheng will grow explosively, and then it will gradually stabilize.As long as food can be supplied in Fucheng, the population can grow steadily until it is saturated.

Zhong Qingran has no doubt that in time, Fucheng will be able to catch up with the big tribes.

However, this is something that will happen in the next few years, Zhong Qingran thinks so, and focuses on the present.As long as businesses from other tribes continue to settle in Shangqingfang, why worry that the main street will be as deserted as it is now?

"What's the matter?" When Jian Mingyu was having dinner, Zhong Qingran wanted to ask, but because the two elders were there, he didn't want to disturb their enjoyment of eating, so he ignored it and went back to Xizheng Room Finally, looking at Jian Mingyu's eyebrows stained with worry, how could he hold back, and asked directly.

"In the afternoon, I led people to practice, and I happened to see the vast sea from a distance. I thought, since the birds and beasts on the ground are favored by Wuguo, then the ones in the sea..." Jian Mingyu didn't say it clearly, but the meaning behind his words was very clear but.

Zhong Qingran remained silent, this matter was no small matter.Seafood is a major source of food in Fucheng. If something goes wrong in this place, the future of Fucheng will be clouded and it will no longer be clearly foreseeable.

After all, there is a huge food shortage in Fucheng. After extensive hunting, the prey in the back mountain has decreased sharply. Now hunting is not so easy. It takes a lot of time just to find the prey. If you want to have a big harvest, you must go deeper into the forest , which can greatly increase the burden on the city guards.

If the mountains, forests and oceans become forbidden places for humans in the future, Zhong Qingran really can't imagine what kind of life people will live in the future.If this is the case, the first thing to be affected is medicine.There are artificial cultivation of medicinal materials in this world, but it is not popularized. Most of the medicinal materials come from the mountains and forests. Once this source of supply is cut off, the number of people who die of diseases due to the shortage of medicinal materials will increase significantly.For ordinary people, survival is not easy, and suffering from illness is really worse.

No matter how he considered it, Zhong Qingran didn't want to see it come true. He hoped that he was just thinking too much.

Fucheng is backed by mountains and faces the sea. This address was chosen by Zhong Qingran through Fu Yunzhu. He didn't believe that Fu Yunzhu would deceive him, but the future he speculated ran counter to Fu Yunzhu's choice. Could there be other changes?

Thinking of this, Zhong Qingran felt a little apprehensive.It's a pity that he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't come up with any idea, so he could only put it aside.Forget it, it's useless to think too much, there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. He still doesn't want to scare himself, and the right way is to manage Fucheng well.

Putting away his mixed thoughts, Zhong Qingran said seriously: "Mingyu, this matter is still uncertain, let's go to sea sometime to have a look."

"it is good."

Silent all night.

In the middle of the morning of the next day, Zhong Qingran finished feeding the small animals and sat in the study room.He originally planned to keep them for a few more days to cultivate a deeper relationship, but now, he hesitated.

The good luck that Wuguo consumes every day has always been a big burden for Zhong Qingran. When the future is uncertain, everything else can be slowed down. The only thing that matters is to strengthen the force of Fucheng. Among them, the lucky pearl is Fucheng For the final reliance, he must ensure that he has enough good luck.

Zhong Qingran has been with the little animals for nearly a month, it's really not short of a few days.After making a decision, he immediately went to the school grounds, found Jian Mingyu, and explained his purpose in a few words.

After thinking for a while, Jian Mingyu organized his words, ordered the city guards on the school grounds to gather, lined up in two rows and walked to Zhong's house.

Zhong Qingran took a few city guards and went home first, moved the insects, birds and beasts to the eaves of the front yard, and waited for everyone to pick them one by one.

City guards have many responsibilities, and the city guards who practice in the school grounds are only a part of them. The rest can only be selected when they are not on duty.

As for the functions of birds and beasts, Zhong Qingran could still ponder a thing or two. As for bugs, except for a few, he really couldn't imagine what they could be used for.

It's just that something is better than nothing, and Zhong Qingran adheres to this principle and never refuses anyone who comes.Fortunately, most insects have small heads, and the consumption of fog fruits is also small.This has been verified. Although there are mostly birds and beasts in the foggy valley, there are still some inconspicuous bugs who have gone through untold hardships and arrived safely in the foggy valley.Basically, ants and the like can only eat a fog fruit the size of a fingernail at most, and most of them can't even reach this amount.

The number of bugs captured by Zhong Qingran far exceeds the proportion in Foggy Valley.He guessed that a large part of the bugs were preyed on the way to the foggy valley, or, with their leg strength, they couldn't catch up at all.Zhong Qingran couldn't help feeling deeply, for Wuguo, they were desperate, even ignoring the danger of their lives.Apart from these two reasons, Zhong Qingran really can't think of any other reasonable explanations. It's impossible for two sections of forest to have such a big difference innately, right?

As soon as Zhong Qingran finished his work here, Jian Mingyu rushed over with the city guards.

"Quiet, according to the team's serial number, from small to large, come forward whoever is called." Jian Mingyu stood in the front yard, near the eaves of the porch, with a solemn expression on his face. Wherever his eyes passed, there was no sound in an instant.

The city guards raised their heads and chests slightly, maintaining a consistent standing posture, and the masculine breath gushed out.If the girls who have not yet left the cabinet saw this scene, it might cause quite a commotion.

Xu Shi had expected this a long time ago. The school grounds were not open to the public. It would be difficult for girls and wives to see the city guards training in groups.It was also because of this that the front yard of Zhong's house had been cleared long ago, and the servants were all busy in the back yard.

Between the city guard and the small animals, two-way selection is not troublesome. It takes a lot of time for the first few people, and as the animals are taken away one by one, the further back, the faster the speed.

By the time the scorching sun hit, all the city guards had been selected.

"Okay, those who didn't get the small animals can leave now." Jian Mingyu paused for a moment, his eyes sharp, "I said ugly things first, if anyone has resentment because of this, he will do something that is not good for the Zhong family and Fucheng , that’s what happened.”

As soon as Jian Mingyu finished speaking, he slapped the wooden chair by his feet.Everyone present was attracted attention and looked over there one after another. After a "snap", the sawdust fragments flew in all directions, and the chair became unrecognizable. How can we still see the original appearance?

Zhong Qingran was startled for a moment, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a heart-warming smile, without blinking his eyes, he stared straight at Jian Mingyu's back.

Feeling the scorching sight behind him, Jian Mingyu's back stiffened for a moment, and he returned to normal after a while.The person who dared to look at him like this was only lucky. If it was him, no matter how you looked at it, it would not be an exaggeration.No, he should be happy, his strength was not so strong before, and it was because he failed to control his strength yesterday that he realized that his strength has grown again.

Jian Mingyu was trying to find a time to talk about this with Qingran, but he had no choice but to play by ear.He was still thinking about how he would explain it to Qingran later, but now he didn't need it.

Jian Mingyu is not a dumb person at all. Ever since he noticed and solved Mingchen's knot, he has realized the importance of communication, especially between the closest couples. It is very difficult to make up for it.

Seeing this scene, all the people present had a trace of fear in their eyes, and they cheered loudly when they came back to their senses.It is a great blessing for them to have someone as powerful as Jian Mingyu commanding the city guards.After thinking about it, the city guards looked at each other with fiery eyes. Apart from being proud and envious, they also had regrets. They thought in private, if only they had such ability.

After sending away the city guard who had no chance of being favored by Wuguo, the rest of the people took their future partners and lined up for the small animals to eat Wuguo.

After the last cub finished eating, Jian Mingyu clapped his hands and emphasized again: "I think everyone knows the value of Wuguo. In order not to favor one over the other, the cub and Wuguo will not be given in vain. The specific price will be discussed later." Set, the minimum price is five taels, as before, if you don’t have enough money, you can owe it first. I will give you half a stick of incense time to think about it. If anyone is unwilling, you can return the cub. Don’t worry, I won’t give you small shoes Wear it. After leaving the gate of Zhong’s house, there is no chance to go back on your word. You should think it through before making a decision.”

Although everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they persisted for a moment in Jian Mingyu's actions, but soon realized that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Seeing how solemn the city lord and commander are, it is obvious that these little animals It must be of great use, but it's only a matter of a few taels of silver, it's as simple as hunting more game.

"No objection?" Jian Mingyu glanced at everyone present one by one, "That's fine, let's disband on the spot."

"It's all done?" Mrs. Tong pushed open the gate of the main courtyard, "You're hungry, go in and eat."

"Grandma, someone has to watch over here." Jian Mingyu pointed to the rows of cages and baskets under the eaves of the porch, and said, "Qingran eat first, come and replace me later."

Zhong Qingran did not refuse. He followed Mrs. Tong, entered the main courtyard, and finished his lunch in two or three strokes. When he put down the rice bowl, he said: "Grandpa and grandma, when you finish your lunch, send someone to inform our relatives and friends. Well, they will pick the next batch, if something good happens, you can’t leave your family behind, right? Tomorrow morning, you will pick one later.”

Zhong Qingran didn't mind benefiting relatives and friends, he couldn't guarantee that everyone could find speculative cubs, at least most of them could bring back small animals that didn't hate them, that's for sure.If the city guard's criteria for choosing favors were followed, most of the relatives and friends of the Zhong family would have to leave empty-handed.

Zhong Qingran had already made up his mind that, except for his own family members who received preferential treatment, everyone else would be treated according to the highest standard. If all the people in Fucheng passed through and there were still cubs left, then the standard would be lowered and the second round of selection would continue. , will not terminate until the remaining number reaches the predetermined standard.

After receiving the consent from Mr. Zhong and the three of them, Zhong Qingran quickly walked towards the front yard and replaced Jian Mingyu.

Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu did this not because they were stingy, but to prevent problems before they happen.It's okay for young birds and young beasts, such a big one, you can't hide it if you want, but the bugs are different, whoever hides one, it's really hard to find, unless Zhong Qingran uses the ability of the lucky bead.With such an arrangement, Jian Mingyu put an end to all petty tricks, so that it would be difficult for them to deal with such a thing if it happened.

"Third brother, here I come. I heard that there are puppies and cats, where are they? Let me see."
