Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 251: Raising a Gang is a Pressure

The sun was warm after the heavy snow, and the sunlight spread all over the earth, melting the last bits of snow bit by bit and melting into people's hearts.

Who could have imagined that under the bright sunshine there was a piece of solid ice, and when the north wind blew, everyone's bodies trembled.

Luo Yu noticed that the clothes worn by each member of the "Flying Tigers" were too few and too thin, and most of them were coarse linen clothes. Even if they wrapped themselves in several layers, they were not warm enough. In addition, they huddled together to burn a bonfire at night, and there was no place to shelter from the wind. It would be troublesome if a group of people fell down before they reached Qianzhou.

Luo Yu shared her idea with Qin Bingrui. There were still fifty miles to go before they arrived in Tanzhou. She decided to go to Tanzhou to stock up on some supplies. At least, ensuring everyone's health was the key.

They had been walking for three consecutive days. Based on the daily exercise consumption required by this group of people, one hundred kilograms of food would have been consumed in three days.

At this rate, if we reach Qianzhou, wouldn’t we have to eat several thousand kilograms of rice and hundreds of kilograms of meat?

Qin Bingrui also realized the problem. Fortunately, the food in the bandit's lair was enough for them to eat in the past few days. In two days, everyone might have to rely on eating wild vegetables and hunting in the mountains to survive.

"Sister, besides buying food and meat, we also need to prepare cloth to set up tents. I also want to buy a few large coats for everyone. We can't just make armor casually, but large coats are inconvenient to wear in battle. I think we should just buy a few pairs of good leather boots for everyone, so that we can at least sprint faster in battle. However, it seems that weapons cannot be bought and sold casually. The swords we took from the bandits are of very poor quality. I see if I can find some real weapons on the black market."

Yan Xuan was surprised and asked: "Who else are you going to fight?"

Qin Bingrui glanced at him and said contemptuously, "Better to take precautions than to cause trouble. Do you understand? Besides, many tribes in the southwest of Qianzhou haven't recovered their strength yet. It's up to us to recover them."

When Yan Xuan and He Yuan heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. This Miss Qin really dared to think and do it!

Xia Liang also became interested: "We must control our stomach. I heard that the pristine forest environment over there is excellent. We can let the lackeys build a large base for the wolf cubs there."

Yan Xuan thought, this is terrible, the wolf cubs are so good at reproduction, will they become a disaster?

Luo Yu was thinking that if Xia Liang entered the primitive forest, he should be able to command the birds and beasts, right?

Several people, each with their own thoughts, rushed to a small village before dark. Seeing that everyone was very cold, Luo Yu asked Qin Bingrui to stay in the village for one night.

Old Jin couldn't help but sigh privately that Miss Bai was more considerate of everyone, while Miss Qin really didn't treat them as ordinary people for training.

The head of Taohua Village was a young man in his early twenties. When he saw that they were businessmen, he asked them what their main business was.

Luo Yu thought that he couldn't just make up a story. After all, there was nothing in the car except a bunch of quilts, pots, pans, and other junk. Wouldn't it be obvious that someone would see through it?

"We are actually a group of construction workers, mainly building houses, but the houses we build are miniature, they are ornamental models, with various shapes and sizes, and are sold specifically to wealthy people for entertainment and viewing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lingyi immediately took out a wooden pavilion model placed in the carriage and showed it to the villagers.

The village chief, who had originally wondered what kind of business this was, was surprised to see such a realistic model, which was only slightly smaller than the real building. If this thing were to be sold, not only would the rich, but even a poor village chief like him would be very fond of it.

"This, this is difficult to build, right?"

Luo Yu nodded and explained, "Well, a good craftsman would take more than ten days to make a complex model, but if everyone divides the work, it will be much faster."

"Miss, our Taohua Village is famous for its scenery. If you don't mind, you can stay here for as many days as you want. We are also close to Tanzhou. If you drive a carriage to do business, you can arrive in an hour and a half."

Luo Yu smiled and expressed her gratitude. She did make some plans. Except for those with normal status who would go to Tanzhou to stock up on goods, everyone else would stay in Taohua Village for the night.

The lackeys and the wolves naturally hid in the mountains and forests to forage for food freely, while Dong Nuan stayed behind to be taken care of by several ladies.

More and more villagers came to join in the fun, but when they looked, they saw dozens of men, plus two young men riding tall horses who looked like guards. They were so strong and powerful that they didn't dare to take their money. They were afraid that this group of people would rob the village clean, and the villagers in their village were powerless to resist.

It was so scary that no one dared to accept this group of people to stay.

Fortunately, the villager was a considerate person. He gave up his large yard and several old houses for everyone to stay in, and he took his wife and children to stay at his cousin's house.

It can be seen that this young village headman is a guy with some vision. No wonder he can become a village headman at such a young age. I have visited so many villages and found that the head of each village is not an elderly elder.

Not only is he not afraid of trouble, he also knows how to ask questions from the beginning to see if Luo Yu and the others are real businessmen. After proving it, he thinks of ways to keep them. This guy is quite capable.

Luo Yu was thinking of passing on this craft to the young headman. As long as Taohua Village could do a good job of logistics, she could open a big shop in Tanzhou to sell these building blocks. She could make models of different difficulty levels for different groups of people. Wouldn't she be able to make a fortune?

Then let the "Flying Tigers" members learn to make these things. She only needs to be responsible for drawing the drawings and designing the various models to assemble, from the most basic to the most difficult. Let everyone make a living with their own skills, and they will not end up eating up all their savings?

Qin Bingrui waited until all the villagers who had come to watch the fun had left before he had the boxes filled with gold, silver, and jewelry moved into the house, and asked Lao Jin to arrange accommodation for the people.

Because they had weapons in their hands and had eaten well recently, they were no longer as fearful as before. Most importantly, they now had faith. A girl who could command wild beasts must not be an ordinary mortal.

After the accommodation was allocated, Luo Yu, Qin Bingrui and all the other women and girls squeezed into one room. They spread straw all over the room and spread out their blankets, living in great joy.

Luo Yu secretly told Qin Bingrui his plan, and Qin Bingrui agreed very much.

"Sister, you are so talented. You are always thinking about how to make money. Did your talent for making money suddenly burst out here?"

"Did the three of us need to make money before?"

"Yes, they are all ours."

"I thought, you need to support the team, so I will work hard to make money. If they make contributions in the future, they will be rewarded. That way everyone will be more loyal, right?"

"Well, exchanging sincerity for sincerity is definitely better than forcing them. However, I still have to issue this military order. Those who deserve punishment will be punished, and those who deserve reward will be rewarded."

"Then let's go to Tanzhou to check out the market early tomorrow morning!"

"Sister, it seems that Mr. Murong's hometown is Tanzhou."

Luo Yu's eyes darkened. As the days went by, she almost forgot about Master Murong!

I can't repay the favor I owe him anytime soon...
