"Young Master, this is great news!"
When Li Ergou returned to Five Carriage City from Xianyang, he was busy telling Ying Ziyi about the news of the King of Qin becoming the ruler. However, he didn't find Ying Ziyi in the newly built main building of Five Carriage City. He heard from his subordinates that Young Master had gone hunting.
After that, Li Ergou rode his horse to the outskirts of Five Carriages City. He found Ying Zige and his group by the river beside the forest.
Ying Zige was roasting meat on a strange tool beside a small stream. Beside him were Fatty Jin, Black Bear, and a few of his subordinates. They were now the commanders of the Qin army. In addition, there were more than twenty personal guards guarding the surroundings.
"Young Master, what are you doing?" Li Ergou asked Ying Ziyi, who was roasting meat with a bamboo skewer.
"Mutton skewers! It's almost done. Do you want to try it too?”The strange grill was made of copper and supported by four supports. There was only one gap on the rectangular box, and at this moment, smoke was still coming out of the gap. Around them, Black Bear and his subordinates were drooling. Their eyes were shining like hungry wolves as they stared at the lamb that Ying Zige was roasting.
"Alright, alright. One more step." Ying Zige grabbed a handful of spices from the copper box beside him and sprinkled them on the kebabs. Immediately, the fragrance of the meat spread out.
Ying Ziyi gave the entire skewer to Black Bear, who was closest to him. This kid had a cunning look in his eyes, and it seemed like he wanted to keep it all for himself. He looked at the empty space and quickly ran into the distance, eating as he ran.
Black Bear's subordinates could not take it anymore. They chased after Black Bear and denounced him, wanting a piece of meat!
This bunch of foodies!
Li Ergou thought to himself," Young Master, these Hu people were still a little unruly a few days ago. Why are they so tame now?”
"If you want to capture the Hu Krupp's heart, you must first capture their stomach.”Ying Ziyi subconsciously copied another famous quote.
"You went to Xianyang, how did it go?”
"Great news!" Li Ergou then remembered the important matter. He took out the imperial edict that the King of Qin had given him and handed it to Ying Ziyi. "The King of Qin has issued an edict to confer Young Master the title of Lord Anxi. The territory is west of Five Carriage City, and Young Master can take it for himself.”
"An Xijun! Lord Rest in Peace!" Ying Ziyi glanced at it and cursed in his heart. What kind of stupid name was this?
"In addition, the king also promised to give young master three thousand soldiers and twenty thousand people to guard your fief. He also promised to give young master a certain amount of food. At this moment, the 3,000 soldiers led by General Zhang Han were escorting 20,000 prisoners of war. They had already arrived in Longxi, and they would reach Five Carriage City in at most ten days.”
"What is it? More than 20,000 people!" Parting Lord Ying Ziyi was shocked.
One had to know that as the number of people in the city increased, the difficulty of managing it would increase exponentially. Although Ying Ziyi had the Super Villain System, which could reduce a lot of trouble, how could he feed these 20,000 mouths in the future? The Great Villain System could not conjure food out of thin air!
Moreover, with so many people suddenly appearing at the borders of the Qin country, what would the Da Yue clan and the Xiongnu do?
Most importantly, the Five Car City had just been built! According to Ying Ziyi's original plan, Five Carriage City could only hold four thousand people. The arrival of these 20,000 people was obviously not enough to accommodate them. They still needed to continue expanding the city.
This way, they would need more farmland, cattle, sheep, houses, entertainment facilities, and armor. They also needed to expand the city walls to constantly guard against the invasion of the Hu Tribe.
Could she still let her brother farm in peace and become rich?
"Young Master, this way, we can expand the scale of our caravan.”Fatty Jin said happily.
"Ah! Indeed!" Ying Zige nodded. Along with the trouble came great benefits. "How many waves of our caravan have gone?”
"Three small caravans is already the limit of our Chamber of Commerce. The earliest group had returned with a bountiful harvest. He also brought a grape vine and a man from the Western Region who was good at planting.”Fatty Jin said.
"En! Arrange a house for the man from the Western Regions and let him grow the fruits and vegetables he brought back from the Western Regions.”After Ying Zige finished giving Li Ergou his instructions, he continued to speak to Fatty Jin,"The caravans now transport less goods and less times. If they wanted to expand the scale, they would have to add guards to the caravan. Only large and medium-sized caravans could go to the farther and wealthier places in the Western Regions. Most importantly, we need to build a good relationship with the Great Yue tribe in the Hexi Corridor.”
"Roar!" A loud noise interrupted Ying Zige's conversation.
There were ferocious beasts nearby. Black Bear and the others put down their meat skewers and pulled out their scimitars to protect Ying Zige. The guards nearby all gathered their horses and took out their bows. They shrank the range of their defense and were on guard.
At the foot of the mountain in the distance, a huge beast could be seen hunting. It was five to six miles away, but its roar could be heard clearly. All the beasts, birds, and insects within a radius of a few miles heard this sound and disappeared. The surrounding scenery instantly became solemn and desolate.
"Kabedon! The low-level treasure hunt mission, the Goddess 'bracelet, was activated. Guardian Beast, Black-spotted Tiger King (Famous) The mission map could be downloaded. Do you want to download it now?"
The system's voice sounded. Ying Zige raised his head and saw the huge tiger king in the distance. Then, he looked at the people beside him. He chose no.
"Young Master, this place is dangerous. We should hurry back to the city!”Li Ergou said.
"Get on the horse, let's go!" Ying Zige said.
Ten days later. Zhang Han's troops finally arrived outside Wuche City.
The mighty army consisted of Qin soldiers, immigrants, and large amounts of supplies.
Ying Ziyi opened the city gates to welcome Zhang Han.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
"General, please rise. The journey was very tiring, so it was better to enter the city to rest first!”Ying Zige said.
"Young Master, there's no hurry. I arranged for these three thousand soldiers and twenty thousand immigrants.”Zhang Han bowed.
"Go!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Zhang Han left to make arrangements while Ying Ziyi went up the city wall to watch.
In the distance, the three thousand soldiers received Zhang Han's orders and urged the twenty thousand immigrants to set up tents in the wilderness outside Five Carriages City. They arranged for food and water, and built temporary fences.
Ten hours later, a simple camp had been built on the originally empty grassland.
The camp was simple and crude, with only a few sentry towers as defense measures, but at least it was enough for now.
After Zhang Han finished arranging everything, he brought 3,000 Qin soldiers and 20,000 immigrants to Ying Ziyi.
"Young Master, everything has been arranged. The king issued an edict, saying that the general and his 3,000 soldiers would obey the orders of the son from now on, and no one dared to disobey.”
"We will obey Young Master's orders.”The 3,000 soldiers behind Zhang Han also shouted loudly.
In comparison, the 20,000 immigrants were much colder.
Ying Zige took out a small loudspeaker and shouted into the distance,"Soldiers, you've worked hard."
After that, Ying Zige took out a small loudspeaker and shouted at the 20,000 people trapped in the middle,""You've all followed the army and traveled thousands of miles. It's been hard on you.”
After he said that, the atmosphere turned cold. Ying Zige felt his aggro bar increase again.
What was going on? Giving a speech can also attract hatred?
"Ying Ziyi is very grateful that you destroyed your family and came here. In the future, we need to work together to build a beautiful home.”
"Kabedon! Congratulations to the OP for successfully advancing. The OP's current level has risen to fame. Current Hatred Points: 3 (Red) Unlocked character related information, loyalty and friendliness. Unlock the mechanism manufacturing technology. Choose whether to activate the subprogram."
"No!"
Although leveling up was very happy, this level increase was inexplicable!
Ying Ziyi looked at Zhang Han and whispered,""Young Master, most of these people are prisoners of war from the various countries that Great Qin conquered, as well as vagrants who lost their land.”
