Su Clan's son of a thousand families

Chapter 23 Calculation
"Qingming breaks the snow, Grain Rain breaks the frost", the arrival of the Grain Rain solar term means that the cold wave weather is basically over, and the temperature rise is also accelerating.

This season is the best season for crops to grow. Transplanting seedlings and sowing seeds have become the main farm work of farmers, and it has really entered the busy season in the wilderness.

sujiabao

Su Yong's room
Since the fate of the Su family came to an end, after Su Xun suggested that the three lines of the Su family discuss land reclamation together, Su Yong also returned from the Su family's ancestral hall to the West House compound of Sujiabao, and was responsible for controlling the land reclamation of Sujia village. Logistical support required.

No, before enjoying a few good days at home, Su Yong received a letter from Su Xun from the barracks yesterday, which detailed the support Su Xun needs this time.

But in summary there are only two things:
The first thing is simple but relatively useless manpower, that is, Su Xun asked to build three thousand three-meter-long stone hammers, and the hammer body must be made of solid fine iron.

The hammer head took into account the refined iron stock of the Su family, and required the use of bluestone from the mountains. Each stone hammer was required to weigh 400 jin.

Seeing the weight of the stone hammer that Su Xun asked for, Su Yong understood why he had to use a refined iron hammer.

The hammer head is really too heavy. A 400-jin heavy hammer weighs more than 300 jin even if the hammer body is removed.

As for the reason why the stone hammer is needed, Su Xun also explained in the letter that Su Xun's consideration of opening up wasteland in the mountains is different from the private struggle of the human race.

If the human army is facing each other, all people are facing, it must be swords, guns, swords, horse-drawn carriages, bows and crossbows, all kinds of ordnance emerge in endlessly, which is extremely troublesome.

Opening up wasteland in the mountains is different. There is only one difficulty for the army to open up wasteland in the mountains, and that is monsters, or groups of wild beasts with monsters.

For example, the pig monsters in the wild boar forest not only need to hunt and kill the pig monsters when opening up wasteland, but also need to deal with the more than 2000 ordinary wild boars together.

As mentioned earlier, the monsters in this world only cultivate their physical bodies, and there is no such thing as changing their human bodies. After enlightenment, their spiritual wisdom is no worse than that of humans, but human beings are smart not only because of their innate IQ, but also because of acquired education and systematic education.

As for a monster in the mountains who got spiritual wisdom by chance, let alone education, no one taught him the language of the race, and all he had in his mind was the survival experience of being a beast since he was a child.

They can neither understand human language nor the language of other monsters, just like snakes and pigs, how to communicate, I am afraid that they will have a fight first when they meet to taste each other.

Ordinary monsters' cognition of humans is limited to the fact that humans are a huge race, and the strong among them cannot be easily provoked, and they don't know anything else. Of course, the longer the monsters live, the more they understand humans, and the more they know. many.

Because monsters only cultivate their physical bodies, their physical bodies are extremely powerful. Originally, many beasts in this world were born with very strong physical bodies, especially after becoming demons.

And Su Xun found that such a powerful body of monsters led to a result, that is, the weapons currently used by the human race have no effect on them, or the effect is very small.

Since the Middle Ages, when aristocratic families settled in the mountains and forests, the human race gradually seldom took the initiative to open up wasteland. On the contrary, each dynasty and each generation of the human race fought more fiercely, and their weapons were updated early.

So this time Su Xun opened up wasteland, the first thing to update is the weapons of the soldiers. After all, if you take a knife or a gun and go into the mountains to fight those wild beasts and monsters, the small ones are okay, and the big ones are probably skinny. Might not even pierce.

Su Xun's open up of wild boar forests this time is different from previous years of hunting in the Su family. The hunting of the Su family is round hunting. They only kill small ones but not big ones. .

Su Xun's land reclamation is just the opposite. If he wants to use war to support war and seize resources, he has to find strong and tough ones everywhere. Take the wild boars that Su Xun will deal with this time as an example.

A 3000-jin pig king, more than 100 2000-jin pig demons, and 300 [-]-jin adult wild boars, together, this is a huge force, almost catching up with half of the fighting power of the Su family before the army.

Moreover, these wild boars are not only huge in size and fearless of death, but also the armor-like pigskin that has been rolled in the mud since childhood and smeared on them over the years is not something that the long knives and spears in the hands of the Su family soldiers can handle. of.

The three thousand heavy hammers that Su Xun asked Su Yong to build this time were specially used for land reclamation.

As for why it is necessary to find such a tough monster to fight, because only the stronger the monster, the more valuable the land it occupies, and the more treasures in the cave.

We must know that in the wilderness of this world, there is abundant earth qi, many inspirations, treasures of heaven and earth emerge in endlessly, and hundreds of years old medicines are often found.

Because after the monster is enlightened, its intelligence is not inferior to that of human beings.

So these treasures and old medicines, as well as the areas with the most inspiration and confidence, will basically be occupied by the strongest local monsters.

And dealing with this kind of beast group, the monster group has another advantage.

All beast herds with strong races have a strong sense of place. Generally, apart from their race, no other beast herds can survive and forage in the places they occupy.

So as long as Su Xun gnaws down the hardest bones, not only the natural treasures and old medicines collected by the monsters in the den are his.

It can also occupy the most abundant place in the local area to grow herbs, and there is no need to bother to clean up the mountains and forests.

Having said that, in fact, wild boars, with their brute strength and two fangs, are covered in armor and skin. They can really be said to be triangular warriors who can attack, fight and defend.

In addition, because they are fighting in the mountains and forests, due to terrain constraints, other species have no advantage in speed. No wonder even tigers may not be able to beat these wild boars alone, not to mention that these "Second Senior Brothers" especially like to appear in groups.

So the first thing Su Xun asked for was to replace the weapons, which will be used to open up wasteland in the future, and as long as there is a need, the equipment will continue to be updated in the future.

As for the second thing in Su Xun's letter to Su Yong, it was about Su Xun's need for help from the butcher Zhangjiacun, the paper figurine Wangjiacun, and the veterinarian Lijiacun.

After seeing Su Xun's written reasons why he needed Sancun's help, Su Yong also felt that this method was very good and thoughtful.

Since Su Xun's request is very reasonable, with Su Yong's resolute character, of course he will deal with it immediately.

So Su Yong thought for a while, and after making some arrangements, he sent people to post door stickers to the family members of the third village who stayed in the Sujiabao, explained the situation, and invited the heads of the families of the three villages to come to the Sujiabao for a while today.

Su's Xifang Mansion
Fuchu living room
At this time, in the guest room of the Su family's west room, he was sitting in the guest room of the Su family's west room. After receiving the sticker from Su Yong's door yesterday, he did not dare to take it too seriously. He rushed to the Su family's west room early today, waiting for the "butcher", "paper figurine" and "veterinarian" to be arranged. There are three village chiefs, two on the left and one on the right.

On the left near the door of the Su family's guest room is Zhang Kui, the patriarch of the butcher Zhangjia Village. Although Zhang Kui, who killed pigs since he was a child, looks old, he is still big and round, with a swollen face. Knowing that he is a professional old butcher, he specially dressed as a professional butcher.

Sitting next to Zhang Kui, chatting happily with Zhang Kui, drinking tea with tea in his hand, wearing a gray uniform and looking a little thin and elegant, is Dong Ren, the patriarch of Dongjia Village, a veterinarian.

Opposite Zhang Kui and Dong Ren, sitting alone on the right side of the living room, not interacting with others, dressed in a full-body white robe, palm-sized paper figurines hanging on his waist, and an old man with a face full of strangers, that is Wang Baishun, the head of the paper figurine Wangjia Village, who has the inheritance of a paper maker.

Because the veterinarian Dongjiacun raises livestock and the butcher Zhangjiacun kills livestock, the two businesses often deal with each other, and they complement each other, so Zhang Kui and Dong Ren are very familiar with each other and have a "very good personal relationship."

At this time, in the living room of the Su family's west room, Zhang Kui, who was hulking and full of flesh, but with a trace of worry on his face, was saying to Dong Ren who was slowly drinking tea beside him: "Brother Dong, this time, Master Su Brother Dong asked me to help them eradicate the wild boar forest outside Sujiabao. I don’t know how to help?
To tell you the truth, I feel a little uneasy. The Su family is benevolent and righteous. Let us raise conditions casually. According to me, it’s just to help kill pigs. Zhang promises to be on call. "

Dong Ren, who was sitting and drinking tea, knew Zhang Kui very well. Hearing his friend's seemingly bold inquiry, he was actually asking for advice in secret.

After all, he was in the Su family. Normally, Dong Ren would not reveal his thoughts, lest it would cause trouble for the Su family to misunderstand.

But today is different, because Dong Ren thought that Su Yong summoned himself alone yesterday, so that he needs to find a suitable time to say today, and now is not the right time.

As soon as the thought came to mind and the words came to his mind, Dong Ren had some calculations in his mind, but his face did not leak. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhang is still so quick-spoken and enthusiastic, but this Jianghuai Xilingshan Su family , is a big family of the Jianghuai family. They have always governed the family according to the "Book of Rites". We help for nothing.

So brother Zhang, relax, we have been hit by the God of Wealth this time, the Su clan is so bold, and now Master Su Xun, the East Household of the Su clan, controls the Su clan's [-] elite soldiers with the Liangyi army formation, coercing Huainan The territory of the county is thousands of miles away. I think that as long as we put our minds to it this time, we don't need to mention it and let them watch it. The harvest may be much more than what you and I want. "

Hearing Dong Ren, who has always been smart and caring, replied to him like this, Zhang Kui, the old butcher, put his heart back into his stomach, and had an idea in his heart, Zhang Kui opened his eyebrows, grinned, and picked up the table. The water cup then gulped down the tea.

It's a pity that this pot of good Mingqian tea was poured down by him chewing peonies. The corners of Dong Ren's mouth twitched while watching, and he kept talking about Zhang Kui's atrocities.

And Wang Baishun, the patriarch of the paper doll village who was sitting on the west side, pretending to be ruthless from the moment he entered the door, was also thinking secretly after hearing the analysis from the veterinarian Dong Ren.

However, Wang Baishun naturally became more and more right about Dong Ren's words, which were not wrong at all. Thinking of the end, Wang Baishun's eyes also brightened, his eyes lit up, and there was a slight smile of approval from the corner of his mouth.

And everything that happened in this living room was also heard and watched by Lao Huang who Su Yong arranged to eavesdrop. Seeing that his task was completed, Lao Huang also retreated slowly without a trace.

Sujiaxifang
Su Yong's room
For Su Yong, the two things his nephew Su Xun told him, the first thing cost money but not troublesome, and the second thing was troublesome but not cost money.

Su Yong knows that in the wilderness, there is no sincerity, and if he wants these three families to help, he can just lure them, but it is not so easy to get them to let go of their guard and help the Su family with all their strength.

So Su Yong thought for a long time yesterday and made some arrangements. In general, he deliberately handed over what Dong Ren said just now to Dong Ren, the head of the Dong family village who is the smartest but greedy for petty gains, and promised him. As long as it is done, Dongjiacun will be given more benefits afterwards.

In fact, the benefits are second to none. The real purpose of this move is to dispel Dong Ren's deep worries and wariness first.

Then, Dong Renlai, who was the most thoughtful and smartest among the three, said this in public, in order to use Dong Ren's shrewd reputation to relieve the worries of the other two families at the same time.

Only in this way can the "butcher, paper man, and veterinarian" all be able to put down their guards and fully assist Su Xun in reclaiming the wild boar forest.

Just when Su Yong was thinking in the room whether the plan he handed over to Dong Ren, the patriarch of Dongjia Village yesterday, would be successful, he heard the voice of the loyal servant Huang from outside the door:
"Master, in the door guest hall you ordered, the patriarchs of Zhangjiacun, Wangjiacun, and Dongjiacun are already waiting in the side room. He has already said what you told patriarch Dong to say, and the other two patriarchs seem to agree. "

"It's done." Hearing the words from Lao Huang outside the door, Su Yong, who was frowning in the room, raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the letter written by Su Xun in his hand, smiled, and said happily: " Okay, I see, Lao Huang, you go first and tell them to wait in the side room, I will change my clothes and come right away."

"Yes, master." Hearing Su Yong's order in the room, the loyal servant Lao Huang who was waiting outside the door immediately returned.

Sure enough, in this barbaric world with many actors and "rough and crazy" style, if IQ is not enough, I really can't get along.
