After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 278
Ji Shuisheng looked at the continuous mountains. The iron ore in the mountains was rich enough for him to equip the three armies.

"Uncle Qu, for the sake of safety, you will take them to station here to build weapons."

Ji Shuisheng shared his thoughts with Qu Da. Uncle Qu has ruled the mountain for so many years, so he can adapt to the life in the mountain.

"Okay, it's just that there are no tools!"

Qu Da respected the young master very much, he listened to his words as military orders, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, how can she forge weapons without tools?
"I'm going to Jincheng to buy blacksmithing tools, food and other daily necessities, and you take everyone to build the furnace first."

Iron ore needs to be smelted before it can be turned into iron after being collected. A furnace is a must, and the molten iron can be smelted before it can be turned into iron. There is also a stone trough for cooling the molten iron.

Windmills, iron clips, and big hammers shaped by smashing iron are currently the only tools such as hammers, and the others have to be purchased in Jincheng.

Qu Da told Ji Shuisheng to be careful, Ji Shuisheng nodded to show that he understood, he didn't bother to assemble the carriage brought in, the assembly was too time-consuming, and he couldn't enter the city even after dark, so he went to Jincheng to buy two more carriages, which he would use in the future with.

It takes half a day to walk from Zhushan to Jincheng. Ji Shuisheng arrived before dark and found that the guards in Jincheng were even stricter than last time. Ji Shuisheng calmly showed the purchase approval document from the Mocheng government. Bing confirmed again and again that the approval document was genuine, and seeing Ji Shuishengqi's imposing aura, he also looked like a soldier who had fought for a long time, so he let the two of them enter the city without any doubt.

When Ji Shuisheng was walking into the city, he only glanced at the city wall, and saw that the portraits of himself, Su Qing and grandpa were still pasted on it, so it was still so new after so long?
If you look carefully, you can see the old paper under the new portrait. At first glance, the old one was damaged by the wind, and a new notice will be replaced immediately. This proves that the imperial court is unwilling to catch them.

After entering the city, Ji Shuisheng found that the city was not as prosperous and peaceful as last time. The vendors were looking around nervously while selling goods, and their fearful expressions were exactly the same as those of the people in Mexico City.

It seems that Brother Yang is right, Jincheng is not peaceful either.

It was getting dark and he couldn't go out of the city after shopping, so Ji Shuisheng simply went door to door to order what he needed, and he could just drive the car and load it all the way tomorrow without wasting time.

He first went to the grain store to order grain, and when he saw that he had official procedures, the shopkeeper of the grain store immediately helped him prepare the grain he needed, and was very eager.

Ji Shuisheng ordered two carts of brown rice and a large bag of salt. There were too many things to buy and time was limited. He paid the money and went out to order other supplies.

A short walk from the grain shop was a blacksmith shop, and he went to the blacksmith shop to order a complete set of equipment for blacksmithing.

Seeing that he had just come out of the grain shop, the blacksmith felt that Ji Shuisheng was an outsider and should leave in a hurry, so he wanted to raise the price to transfer his existing set of equipment.

Hearing that his quotation was too high, Ji Shuisheng was clearly unhappy, and put on a threatening face:
"You don't want to make this deal?"

The master blacksmith was frightened by Ji Shuisheng's aura, so he quickly lowered his attitude and apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the price I want includes everything in my house, including bellows, iron stove, tongs, fire shovel, water tanks and buckets, pots and pans, as long as you need it, take it away."

It is rare to meet a buyer and don't want to run away, so give more things, anyway, what I need most is money.

Ji Shuisheng took a look around, found that it was not bad, basically everything he needed, so he nodded and paid the deposit, agreed to come to load the car tomorrow morning, and then left to go to the next one.

Ji Shuisheng went to the quilt store to order a few more sets of quilts, regretting that he had sold all the leathers, otherwise they could be used as both quilts and quilts.

After everything was ordered, it was completely dark. The small vendors on the street left cleanly, and the shops closed with shutters.

Except for restaurants, there are romantic places where the doors are still open. Those seductive ladies dressed in all kinds of styles stand upstairs and flirt with men on the street, throwing handkerchiefs and winking.

Ji Shuisheng ignored these gaudy women, he found a modest inn and walked in.

When the buddy sees a businessman, he comes over and greets him hospitablely:
"Guest officer, please come inside, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?"

This inn has meals on the first floor and accommodation on the second floor, earning money for both.

"I also eat and stay in the hotel."

Ji Shuisheng's sharp eyes glanced around. It was the time of dinner, and there were not many people on the first floor, and the business was very deserted.

"Your business is not doing well!"

Ji Shuisheng asked the guy next to him, he was worried about entering a black shop, so he asked first.

"I can't help it. In the past, Jincheng was in good weather. Businessmen from all over the world came here to do business. Since it was attacked and occupied by the disaster victims, it was attacked by barbarians again. Those merchants were so scared that they didn't dare to come to Jincheng. Is the store doing well?"

The buddy complained that Jincheng was in chaos, and the common people were unlucky.

"The barbarians attack the city?"

Ji Shuisheng frowned thickly, faintly feeling that the matter was not simple, the Tatan Kingdom attacked the city on the Mocheng side, and the barbarians attacked the city on the Jincheng side, how could they all rush together?

"No, the Anjia army defending the city is useless. They couldn't hold back the fierce barbarians and were beaten and disarmed. If the imperial court hadn't sent troops to support Jincheng, Jincheng would have been breached long ago. We were frightened. We have connections and The rich have long since left, and we are the only ordinary people who have nowhere to go, so we can only hold on here, it’s better when the Wanjia army is here, and the barbarians dare not come.”

The buddy was full of resentment when he said it, and he was very contemptuous of the useless Anjia army. When the Wanjia army was stationed in Jincheng, how come no barbarians dared to invade?
Ji Shuisheng raised his eyebrows, someone actually praised the Wan Family Army?

"Guest officer, do you want to eat first or go back to the room to wash?"

The buddy said twice in a row and found that Ji Shuisheng didn't hear him, and he didn't know why he was so engrossed in his thoughts?He raised his voice.

"Go back to the room to wash up first, and you will prepare the food for me."

Ji Shuisheng's face was covered in ashes all the way, so he wanted to wash it before eating, and asked the waiter to prepare the food first, so that he could eat it after washing.

I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten for a day, and my stomach has already been empty.

The clerk asked him if he wanted a private room and took Ji Shuisheng to the second floor. Soon a clerk brought hot water and a wooden basin. Ji Shuisheng washed it inside and out, put on clean clothes and went downstairs to eat.

It was only when Ji Shuisheng went downstairs that he found another group of people had come to the post station.

He looks like ordinary people in clothes, but with weapons under his clothes, his eyes are as sharp as eagles, and his murderous aura is obviously the unique temperament of soldiers.

These people filled three tables and heard the guests on other tables talking about Wan Jiajun. They looked down while eating but obviously listened with their ears up!
