Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

Upon hearing Li Wen's words, Blackstone knew that an opportunity had arrived for the Blackstone tribe. He immediately and decisively replied, "General, rest assured! I am utterly loyal to you! No matter what the mission is, as long as you entrust it to me, even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, I will definitely complete it!"

Blackstone's words were resolute and also expressed his loyalty.

Li Wen did not speak directly, but instead smiled and looked at the black stone.

The fact that this guy could say such things shows that he has a deep understanding of Han Chinese culture. If you only look at his appearance, Heishi looks like a typical herdsman, but the thoughts he expresses are more like those of a Zhou person.

Hei Shi felt some pressure under Li Wen's gaze, and his resolute expression crumbled, replaced by a fawning smile.

Li Wen then spoke up, "Chief Blackstone, there's no need for such pleasantries. We are currently only in a cooperative relationship, and our positions are equal. Neither of us can demand that the other must accomplish a certain task."

Li Wen first emphasized the relationship between the two parties, and then continued, "The task I asked was to ask Chief Black Stone to take some people to the Great Zhou to do some business, and also to help my brothers send some letters home."

Although Li Wen emphasized distancing himself from the relationship, Black Stone was not disappointed, because his biggest test was the title of "General". Since Li Wen did not refuse, it meant that they still had a chance to become one of their own.

The task Li Wen asked Black Stone to undertake was quite simple: he had to pretend to do business inside the pass and then help send Anxi Army's family letters back home.

Because of its location on the border, the post stations in Yumen had a well-established system for handling letters home.

Upon hearing the details of the mission, Blackstone became even more excited, as the mission was now completely effortless.

If it were a while ago, Blackstone might not have accepted the mission given by Li Wen, since the battle was still raging around the Great Wall.

Now that the Great Zhou has taken the initiative to retreat, the Yanshan area has become a no-go zone.

Because the terrain around Yumen was very advantageous for defense, and other forces knew they didn't have the ability to break through Yumen, they left after reaping the benefits in the Yanshan area.

They did not exterminate the people of the Great Zhou in the Yanshan region.

Because they plan to plunder again next year.

To them, the common people in these areas with no land, no property, and no housing are like leeks; as long as they are not eradicated, they will never be completely cut down.

The fact that caravans are appearing on the Da Zhou side means that Yumen is not restricting their entry and exit.

It is common for herdsmen to frequently visit the Great Wall Pass. Apart from being a bit time-consuming, this task is not difficult in any other way.

"In that case, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Li Wen proactively extended his hand.

Blackstone awkwardly shook hands with him.

Besides sending letters, Heishi also brought back a lot of intelligence from the temple. Li Wen was a little curious about the current situation in the Great Zhou court.

Blackstone acted quickly. After receiving the letter and address from Li Wen, he returned to the tribal camp that same day, took some supplies, and set off with his men that very night.

After Blackstone set off, the planning for the pigsties in Anxi Town was almost complete.

The next day, Li Wen summoned the remaining members of the Black Stone Herdsmen in Anxi Town and issued them temporary identity tokens.

When Blackstone accepted this commission, it was essentially equivalent to passing Li Wen's test, which is why Li Wen gave them their identity tokens in advance.

"General, what's the purpose of this identification tag?"

A member of the herdsman asked Jiang Tian, ​​who was distributing identity tags, with a puzzled look.

Jiang Tian glared at him first: "What nonsense are you spouting! There's only one general in Anxi Town! If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be working in Anxi Town from now on."

"Yes, yes, yes! Sir, you're right, I was just talking nonsense."

The herdsmen quickly admitted their mistake.

It can only be said that the kind of clan leader you have determines the kind of clan members you have.

The other Blackrock tribesmen also share similar customs with their chieftain.

"You can call me Head Jiang or Captain Jiang," Jiang Tian corrected.

"Chief Jiang, what's the purpose of this identification tag?"

"With this identity card, your identity will be officially recognized in Anxi Town. From now on, you will not only be provided with food and lodging when you work, but you will also receive wages."

"Wages? We not only get to eat while we work, but we also get paid? Is this for real?!"

The herdsmen's eyes revealed a hint of confusion, because this good thing seemed too good to be true, as if they were being deceived.

Jiang Tian said disdainfully, "Do you think our general would lie to you?"

Upon hearing Li Wen's name, the herdsmen immediately believed him.

"The general is a messenger of the gods; naturally he wouldn't deceive mortals like us!"

"Here you go. The monthly wage is tentatively set at five hundred coins. When we settle the accounts, we'll give you rice, flour, and other supplies in return."

The herdsmen were overjoyed upon hearing about these generous terms.

They have a habit of bartering, and giving them goods is far better than giving them money.

Jiang Tian shook his head and continued distributing identity cards.

He didn't actually look down on the shepherd from earlier, because he had acted similarly before.

The average soldier in the Anxi Army earned about 1,000 coins per month.

This kind of treatment was something Jiang Tian never dared to dream of before.

"Have you finished sending them?"

"General, all have been distributed."

"Okay, you take some people to clean the pigsty, I'll go get the piglets."

Li Wen didn't say where he got the piglets, and Jiang Tian didn't ask either. He led his men to do the cleaning work.

Li Wen first arrived in the modern world, and then took a taxi to the orchard in Dashan Village.

The village chief has already cleared out the abandoned yard in the orchard, and the temporary pigsty that Li Wen requested has been built.

It seems the village chief is truly heartbroken about this.

After the pigsty was finished, Li Wen called Director Zhu to ask him to send piglets.

Since Director Zhu was already in the suburbs, the delivery driver brought the goods over in just over an hour.

When the driver arrived at the orchard, he saw only a makeshift pigpen and paused for a moment before asking, "Manager Li, are the piglets just going to be kept here? This is too rudimentary."

"It's okay, you can put it there. I'll move it myself in a bit."

The driver was just delivering goods. When he saw Li Wen's request, he told his companion to unload the piglets and quickly put them into the temporary pigpen.

The driver left immediately after finishing his work.

After the other party left, Li Wen slowly began to move the piglets.

At first, Li Wen was a little nervous, as he was unsure whether the double-passage door would allow living beings to pass through.

When Li Wen placed his hands on the piglet, he tried it out, and the piglet was successfully brought to Anxi Town.

Li Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the consumption is greater than that of ordinary material transportation.

It took Li Wen almost an hour to transport the ninety piglets over.

While Li Wen was carefully moving the piglets, several leaders of pastoral tribes in the Gobi Desert gathered together again.

However, this time there is no Blackstone.

"Do you think Anxi Town is really rolling in wealth?"
