C47 The Charm of Money
A group of men and horses returned in a sorry state and walked into the mountain stronghold on top of the mountain.
The gatekeepers didn't dare to say anything, they just kept looking at the group of men and horses that had just returned.
Walking into the mountain stronghold, a large red building sat in the middle. Two big red lanterns hung outside the red building, but the door was tightly shut.
At the entrance of the red building stood a dozen guards, looking at Feng Kun who was walking over with a serious expression.
"Third leader, Madam is currently in seclusion, no one is allowed to enter!"
The guards were all very handsome, and the moment they blocked Feng Kun was the most handsome moment.
"Un, hurry up!"
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from upstairs, and the red lantern hanging on the roof swayed, showing the same pattern as the swaying bed on the red building.
The moon gradually climbed up, standing quite high.
Borrowing the advantage of being high up, it could see everything he wanted to see.
Through the doors and windows of the red building, one could see a few figures tangled together on a large red bed.
A half-naked beautiful woman in a red dress was hanging on a robust male body. Behind her, a handsome man was also hugging two pure white full moons, sweat dripping down his face as he fought.
The woman's eyes had already revealed some fish tails. Seeing that she was about thirty years old, the beautiful body that the red dress could not wrap around made the moon a bit shy.
It was too hot, and any male animal would not be able to resist it.
Her red lips opened slightly from time to time, and the sound coming out of her mouth was even more unbearable. The two men who were serving her became even more hardworking.
During this process, a faint red light appeared on the man's body and was absorbed into the beautiful woman's body.
At the same time, the man's face became paler and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The beautiful woman turned her head and stretched out her snow white arm and placed it on the man's shoulder. She said softly, "What are you waiting for?"
Feng Kun looked up and heard the beautiful woman's delicate breathing. Although his lower body was somewhat hot, he let out a heavy sigh.
"When the Big Head comes out of seclusion, I'm afraid it will be another three to seven days. "
"The two men who came this time have very good physical strength. I'm afraid it will be another seven days. " The most handsome guard said.
"Sigh!
With another sigh, Feng Kun shook his head and left.
Mrs. Gouyu practiced the Art of Accumulating Yang. Once it started, it could not be interrupted until one side died.
If Chiang Kang knew about it, he would definitely laugh his two front teeth off.
The night had gradually faded.
Apart from the few people who were on guard, the rest of the Black Armored Army had entered into a state of dormancy.
The matter was rushed and there was no manpower left. Everyone pulled open their tents and went to sleep.
Chiang Kang sat alone in a tent and opened the King Hero Summoning System in his mind.
Opening the King's Crystal warehouse, Chiang Kang immediately used all the white King's Crystals.
A ray of light shone from Chiang Kang's body and broke through the obstruction of the tent, startling the birds flying across the night sky.
"Ding! System Notification: You have leveled up to 4, you can choose the ultimate skill.
Skill Choice 1 - Ultimate Overlord Chopping: Hsiang Yu's ultimate skill. He waved the Overlord Spear in his hand and unleashed a powerful spear light in front of him, causing a large scale area of effect damage to the enemy. It will cause a stun effect within a short distance.
Skill Choice 2 - Winter Spear Dance : Summons the power of winter and waves the spear in his hand, causing a large amount of AoE damage to the surrounding enemies. "
"Choose the Ultimate Overlord Chopping!"
Chiang Kang excitedly clicked on the skill in his mind. This skill was even more domineering than the name in the game. He didn't know if its power had increased or not.
The skill's indicator lit up, and the system prompted him that the Ultimate Overlord Chopping could be used.
Chiang Kang suppressed his restless thoughts and started to size up his energy.
He discovered to his dismay that he was only 10% away from leveling up to the fifth level, and the blue King's Crystal required him to level up to the fifth level. Right now, he simply could not use it!
"If I reach level 5, I can automatically unlock Wang Zhaojun's passive skill. What will the effect be after I change it?"
After learning the skill, there would be some changes to the skill. This was not bad. At the same time, it made Chiang Kang look forward to it even more.
More importantly, his level was not high enough. He still could not use the storage ring, which made him feel very aggrieved.
There was a treasure mountain, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"No way! I have to quickly level up this level! Also, I have to find a cauldron! If that's the case, I can even make one or two weapons. "
"Wang Zhaojun is already very powerful with her bare hands. If I give her another weapon, her strength will rise to another level. "
"It's just that she said that she needs the cultivation method, but this is a little difficult. When she is settled, I'll go to the Gouyu Manor and take a look, perhaps I'll get some benefits "
After clearing his thoughts, Chiang Kang slowly calmed the restless energy in his body.
After leveling up, besides learning skills, his attributes had also increased greatly.
If he met Chung Yaojin now, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to leave. He would have to die under his own spear!
"Let's rest for a while. Someone will probably come tomorrow. "
This made Chiang Kang feel helpless. After letting out a sigh, he crossed his legs and closed his eyes.
Unexpectedly, even when the sun rose high in the sky, there was still no movement at the foot of the mountain. It was just that the smoke from the kitchen in the village was curling up, making people feel hungry.
Black Armored Army arranged for a group of people to go down the mountain to fetch water, while the others set up a pot on the spot to roast meat and cook rice.
The Snow Tiger actually went out to hunt and bit a deer.
This made everyone very happy. They ate horse meat every day, and their eyebrows were sore to the point that they couldn't stand straight anymore.
"Mr. Chiang, there are a total of three mountain paths up here. One of them is the path we came from. The other is a narrow path. We can only climb up, and the last one is behind the forest. That path is very big, and it's connected to the mountain range. It's very difficult to set up any defenses. "
Chiang Kang was chatting with Wang Zhaojun when Lian Chengyue walked over.
"Is that so? Let's go and take a look. " Chiang Kang smiled and said to Wang Zhaojun.
"Sure. "
In front of outsiders, the mask had never been broken. Wang Zhaojun slightly nodded her head.
It was already daytime. After resting, the Black Armored Army seemed to be full of energy.
Chiang Kang was not in a hurry to rush to the position Lian Chengyue mentioned. Instead, he looked around the tent.
"We also need to set up the tent and guard Zhaojun's big tent in the middle. Also, we need to dig out the drainage channel. We are not staying here for a day or two.
Let everyone cut out some big trees in the middle and leave some big trees as a defense point. The tent is only temporary so we can change it to a wooden house immediately. It has better anti-rain and cold properties.
It would be very difficult to live here if one fell sick from the cold. Animals' fur must be left behind to keep them warm.
As for the construction of the house, let me demonstrate it to you. "
Chiang Kang shook his head and walked to the empty space in the middle.
In the middle was Wang Zhaojun's big tent, followed by a wide piece of land.
Chiang Kang asked in surprise, "What is this place for?"
They tied it with a string and did not set up any tents. Obviously, it was empty here.
Lian Chengyue smiled and looked at Chiang Kang with an ambiguous look. He said, "Of course it's for Mr. Chiang. "
Wang Zhaojun immediately turned her head away when she heard him, as if she was looking at a bird in the sky.
Chiang Kang was stunned for a moment, then coughed and nodded. "That's true. I am the best, and it is safer for me to be by the princess's side. "
"What thick skin. "
Wang Zhaojun's voice was very low but it was still heard by Chiang Kang. He immediately laughed and said, "As long as the skin is not long, it will be fine. "
"What is the skin?"
Wang Zhaojun and Lian Chengyue had puzzled expressions.
"It's nothing. This involves the structure of a man's body. It's not something that can be explained in a few sentences. "
Chiang Kang hurriedly waved his hand and walked to a soldier to take the knife from him.
Then, he quickly cut the two wooden tips and threw them into the ground.
"It's best to dig a tunnel where the wooden houses are built, just like the foundation of a dead house. Then, you can go around and collect stones, pour them into water and mix them with mud. This way, the ground will be much sturdier after it's dried. "
As Chiang Kang spoke, he had already let the few of them imitate him and nailed two rows of wood into the ground.
He stepped on the soil and said, "The structure of the soil here is quite stable. It doesn't matter if you don't do that. Just make the wooden stakes a little deeper. "
After saying that, he got someone to bring water over.
"You guys go and cut some grass over, dry it is also fine, grind it into powder"
Very quickly, someone pulled over mud and grass powder.
The powder was rough. One look and one could tell that it was the effect of a soldier cutting randomly with a knife. However, it could also be used.
"Stirring the powder into the soil can strengthen the sturdiness of the soil. After that, pour the soil into the middle of the wood and wait for it to solidify before building it up. That will do. "
"However, if we wait for it to solidify, it will take a long time. " Lian Chengyue said.
"The weather here is so cold. The low temperature will freeze it. "
Chiang Kang grinned and said, "If the temperature is not low enough, we happen to have a Great Mage here, right?"
As he spoke, He looked at Wang Zhaojun.
Wang Zhaojun was slightly startled and her beautiful phoenix eyes blinked. Her red lips opened slightly and said, "There is no problem with freezing, but once it melts, wouldn't everyone waste their energy?"
"No. "
Chiang Kang waved his hand and said, "The weather will only get colder and colder. Plus, the terrain here is high, so it won't melt. You freezing it is only to speed up the progress of the project. I think the soldiers' working hours should be about the same as your cooling down.
It's just that these days, I need you to be busy. "
" No. "
Wang Zhaojun shook her head and waved her hand. The soil instantly condensed and there was a layer of frost on the wooden board.
"This kind of freezing doesn't require much freezing, it saves a lot of strength. "
"That's good. "
0
Chiang Kang smiled and asked his men to stick the wooden board to the wall.
"There is no lack of wood here. Covering the wooden board on the frozen soil can make it sturdier, or else it will be too fragile. "
"Oh right, after the house is made, we can add a layer of soil on the outer layer of the wood. At the same time, we can strengthen it and preserve the temperature inside. "
"Alright. "
"Let's go. We'll leave this place to them. Take me to the back mountain. "
Lian Chengyue nodded and led the way.
After walking for a while, the three of them walked out of the forest. Behind them was the junction of the mountain pass.
This mountain was a little special. It was slightly taller than the surrounding mountains. It was only a dozen or so meters away from the other mountains. This should be the reason why their ancestors chose this place.
And the reason why they didn't live on the mountain's mountainside was also very simple.
The mountain top was only suitable for people like Chiang Kang to live on, and not a good place for reproduction.
"This place is too spacious. It will be very difficult for us to defend it with just our manpower. " Wang Zhaojun frowned and said.
Chiang Kang was silent for a while and then smiled. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Let's build a city wall here. "
"City wall!?"
Wang Zhaojun and Lian Chengyue instantly lost their voice. They looked at Chiang Kang like they were looking at a madman.
"That's right. To be precise, it is the city wall. I plan to build a castle on this mountain. "
"A castle, what is that?" The two of them were confused.
"I'll try my best to draw it later. Everyone, try your best to make it. "
Chiang Kang said and took a few steps forward. He faced north and took a breath of cold wind.
He looked up at the branches of the trees. Although there was a sun hanging in the sky, the leaves were still covered with frost.
"According to the common sense on Earth, this kind of place should be so cold all year round. If that's the case, Bingcheng is very likely to be built. In addition, Wang Zhaojun is here. It shouldn't be too difficult to maintain it. "
Chiang Kang thought about it in his heart and said, "We don't have a place to stay right now. We need a base, and this place will become our base.
From now on, everyone should start preparing for this castle. Let everyone prepare some hay and put it under the sun to warm up the house. "
"Alright. "
"Okay, I'll go to the village and see if I can borrow something," said Wang Yao. Yes, Chiang Kang said.
"What do you want?"
Wang Zhaojun quickly followed. "The people in the village are still very wary of us. It may not be a good thing to go there rashly. "
"It's fine. They won't dare to make things difficult for me. They don't have the ability either. "
Chiang Kang smiled and said, "I want to see if there is a rope to borrow. I want to make a catapult. "
If there was a catapult in the sky, its power would be quite terrifying. Its attack range would also be greatly increased. Whether it was blocking the enemy's attack or blocking the enemy's retreat, it would play a huge role.
"catapult, do you know how to make that thing?" Wang Zhaojun's face was full of surprise.
"It's just a simple lever principle. It's very easy. " Chiang Kang shrugged his shoulders and looked relaxed and happy.
This was the advantage of being a transmigrator. For them, things that were very difficult were indeed very simple for Chiang Kang.
"Do you want me to go down with you?" Wang Zhaojun was still a little worried.
"No need. You just need to help them build our castle here. Anyway, the outer perimeter is relatively simple. Let's build a defensive line first. Follow me to the village. It will be easy for something to happen. "
After saying that, Chiang Kang chuckled and added, "I don't think there are any pretty girls in the mountain village. If those big men see your appearance, won't they drool?"
"You are the only one who knows how to talk rubbish. Go quickly!"
Wang Zhaojun snorted and waved her sleeves to chase them away.
Chiang Kang pretended to bow and said, "Yes, Princess!"
"You!!"
Before he could say anything, Chiang Kang had already climbed onto the wide back of the Snow Tiger and went straight to the village halfway up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, there were also some villagers who were guarding the area, obviously guarding against the people on the mountain who would suddenly attack.
Suddenly, a huge tiger more than five meters long walked down, scaring the villagers so much that their faces immediately changed.
"Quickly stop!"
A brawny man shouted loudly, drawing his bow and making an appearance.
The Snow Tiger was enraged, and it let out a tiger's roar. It shook the other party so much that his feet trembled, and he almost peed himself.
"It's done!"
Chiang Kang patted the Snow Tiger and said to the people guarding in front of him, "Make way. I will go to the village to borrow a few things. "
When the villagers heard this, anger immediately appeared on their faces. However, they were afraid and did not dare to say anything. They could only helplessly withdraw.
The brawny man in the lead ran away. It seemed like he was going to call the old village chief over.
"Don't worry, I can lend it to you or buy it. "
Chiang Kang smiled and took out a few silver coins and threw them out.
Compared to the chaotic currency system on Earth, it was much better here.
In the entire King Continent, there was a common currency. This was even more advanced than the later generations.
One silver coin was equal to 100 copper coins, and one gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins.
As for the purchasing power, two or three silver coins was almost enough to buy a cow, and for a middle-class family, 10 silver coins per year was enough to cover the expenses.
Of course, the middle-class families mentioned here were actually the kind of families that could barely survive from starvation. They were not comparable to the smaller-class families on Earth.
Just now, Chiang Kang threw out five silver coins with a wave of his hand, which was equivalent to two cows, and half a year's worth of expenses for a family.
The expressions of the villagers instantly changed. They swallowed their saliva and looked at the silver coins on the ground, but did not dare to pick them up.
"Take it. This will be your first meeting gift. "
Chiang Kang smiled and was incomparably generous.
Nonsense, if he wasn't generous, who would?
Zhaojun came out and stuffed her. Qin Shihuang had given her countless precious pearls and gold coins, one bag after another.
They had lost a lot in the battles, but they still brought more things. Fortunately, there were many horses, so they were not worried that they would not be able to take them.
Silver coins were really rare, and it wasn't easy for Chiang Kang to find them.
Looking at the excited villagers who went to pick up money, Chiang Kang thoughtfully touched his chin.
"The charm of money is the same no matter which world it is. Later, I will give everyone a bag of gold coins. I'm afraid it will raise the morale of everyone, right?"
Just as he was in deep thought, the old Village Chief hurriedly walked out with a few people.
