Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Don't worry, my brothers and I are only after money, and we will never do anything else. Look at those two tender-skinned people, they must be the sons of a big family. Even if they are short of a little money, at most they will be scolded by their families. But if we don't have this money, we will starve to death."

Zhang San continued to shake Zhang Xiaoyi's psychological defenses.

"You guys, are you really just looking for money?"

Zhang Xiaoyi spoke slowly. Jiang Han was nice to him, but it was just a deal. Zhang San's words really touched him. Yes, those two were obviously kids from wealthy families, but they had nowhere else to go.

"I promise, we will only touch the money and food, nothing else!"

"Okay, I didn't ask too much about the specific situation of the two people. They live in the courtyard in Hechun Lane. You should know that the courtyard has always been in the hands of the county magistrate. Why the courtyard was rented to them is naturally needless for me to explain. They don't have many servants. It's better to say that there are no servants at all. There are only one man and one woman, a couple. According to what I saw today, the two of them spent more than a hundred taels today!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lai and Li Gousheng were delighted: "Only two of us! Big brother! Let's do it!"

"Let me think about it..."

Zhang San was a little hesitant. The name of Hechun Lane scared him. Since those two people could live there, did it mean that they had some relationship with the county magistrate? If he and others took action, would they offend the county magistrate?

Zhao Lai was impatient, and he said immediately: "Oh, what's there to think about! We brothers will cover our faces and go in at night to move the things. If that bastard wakes up, we can just knock him out!"

"Oh... that's not a good idea. If they see us, they will recognize us. We need to think of a safer way."

"How about... using smoke?"

Li Gousheng tentatively came up with an idea.

"Hmm? That makes sense! We'll knock him out with smoke first, and then we'll go in and move the things. When he wakes up the next day, he definitely won't be able to guess who did it. Great! Great! Gousheng, your brain is still working pretty well!"

Zhang San praised Li Gousheng's idea highly, thinking it was a rare good idea. But in fact, they all didn't know one thing, that is, the smoke screen was only effective on humans, and tactical humanoids would not eat that stuff.

"Well, I'll get the smoke. We'll meet at Hechun Lane at three o'clock tonight and act according to the situation. Xiaoyi, you can come with us. Don't worry, I'll give you some."

Zhang San simply brought Zhang Xiaoyi into the group. Zhang Xiaoyi opened his mouth but still said nothing.

"Brother, why are we holding him? He is such a person..."

After leaving the house, Zhao Lai was still a little resentful.

"It is precisely because he is such a person that we want to drag him into this. If we don't count him as a part of the case, and he goes out to sue the county magistrate, what should we do?"

"Ah... this guy should be killed!"

"Nonsense! If we are involved in a murder case, you and I will have no choice but to become bandits with our families. Although it is difficult in Anping City, we can still survive. If we go outside, there will be no way to survive."

Zhang San sighed, and the group of three slowly walked away.

At this moment, Jiang Han was still preparing to make smoked bacon.

He planned to smoke all the meat and make it into bacon that could be preserved for a long time. This way, even if he was traveling outside, he would at least have some meat and vegetables, instead of having to just chew on dry food and biscuits. This was a way to improve the food that he thought of after thinking for a long time. Before finding a suitable place to develop in the future, they would definitely spend a lot of time on the road, and this was one of the preparations Jiang Han had made for this.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If conditions permit, Jiang Han still hopes to make his life as better as possible, rather than just being alive. Now, he is doing salt massage on pork.

First, marinate the meat with coarse salt, cooking wine, spices and other seasonings, and then hang it to the side of the room to air-dry for about 7 days. The bacon is basically ready and can be stored for a long time. When you want to eat it, take it out, cut a slice, steam it slightly, or use it to stir-fry, all of which are very good choices.

While making bacon, Jiang Han was also checking his system, because it had just given him a prompt.

"Because of what you have done, you have become a topic of conversation among local residents. Your reputation with the residents is +365."

What do you mean? You're saying I'm Batman's old rival, right? Don't people in this city have anything else to do? They just stare at others all day. Did I buy your rice?

Jiang Han felt quite unhappy when he heard that he had become a joke, but the subsequent increase in his reputation made him overjoyed.

"I'm awesome! I'm JIKOER! Talk about me as much as you want! Don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower!"

Looking at the commander who was having another attack, M4A1 couldn't help but sigh.

There are too many things to do at home, so the two of them have to divide the work. Since few humanoids seem to have a cooking module, the task of cooking and preparing food can only be left to Jiang Han.

In order to enable Jiang Han to gain core competitiveness in the marriage market, Jiang Han's mother trained his cooking skills intensively. Now he can cook home-cooked meals, and the taste is pretty good.

Previously in the village, M4A1 killed a bunch of people and gained more than people. This time in the city, we got more than . That's right. After all, Anping City is much bigger and there are more residents. It is much more than the base number of only a dozen people in Xiaohegou Village.

Jiang Han scratched his head. Would he have to show off his reputation in public? He was not sure about how to obtain this reputation value.

But that’s not the point. The key is that I can finally summon a new humanoid!

The system's summoning mode is somewhat different. Ammunition and rations have been eliminated, leaving only reputation and resources. However, the minimum ratio of reputation is 400, so even if a new column has been unlocked before, there is no way to summon new people.

After skillfully calculating the formula of 400 plus 400, Jiang Han thought about it and added 200 counterweights to the resource column, making it 400 plus , and then he put it into the summons! Come out, my warrior!

"It's midnight, everything is fine~"

The night watchman's shouting was still ringing in their ears as Zhang San and his companions gathered under the wall of Jiang Han's house and began to discuss today's actions.

"Zhao Laizi, why does your face towel smell like urine?"

"Stop talking nonsense, this is my son's loincloth, I can't find any other cloth at home"

"Okay, stop making noise. Hurry up and get ready to climb over the wall into the yard. Be careful not to wake anyone up. Xiao Yi, you just keep watch outside."

The three of them joined hands, folded their hands to use as a footstool, and lifted Zhang San to the top of the wall. Li Gousheng also climbed up, and the two of them pulled Zhao Lai up. It was obvious that this was not the first time the trio had done this and they were very skilled at the job.

Landing gently on the ground, the three of them looked around. There were actually quite a few things piled up in the yard, and it looked very messy. The most important task for the three of them was to find the main house.

It was actually quite easy to find the main house. Jiang Han was sleeping soundly inside. Because the weather was too cold, there was a kang in the house, so we just had to follow the heat to find the house.

Pulling open the door and looking at the figure inside, Zhang San and the others glanced at each other and nodded.

Zhang San took out the incense from his arms, took out a fire starter, blew a few breaths to ignite it, slowly lit the incense, put it into the crack of the door, and fanned it with his hands to let the incense float into the house.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden voice from behind scared the trio so much that Zhang San almost dropped the incense in his hand.

Zhao Lai turned around suddenly. The cold moonlight was hanging down. A woman was standing in the middle of the yard with an unknown smile on her face, looking at them with interest.

Zhao Lai looked at the woman's face, then lowered his head to look at her chest: "How come there is still a child here?"

The smile on the girl's face disappeared. Tonight, it looked like it would be lively.

Volume 11: Chapter Chapter : This is how rumors spread

There is a new bustle in Anping City today.

After a whole night of work, four thieves were tied up in the county government office early this morning. They were vaguely identified as the third son of the Zhang family, Zhao Lai from the Zhao family, Li Gousheng and the scoundrel Zhang Xiaoyi.

Why do I say that I can vaguely recognize it? This story starts from last night.

As we all know, there are several things about Griffin that must not be mentioned, among which, sister 45's bust size has always been among the best.

This is a painful experience that countless commanders have paid for with their own nose bones, and it is a bloody lesson written in Commander Griffin's job code, but today, Zhao Lai committed the crime.

Yes, this time Jiang Han summoned the captain of our 404 team, an expert in data warfare and intelligence warfare: UMP45.

In fact, in essence, Team 404 is a cooperative unit of Griffin, but for Jiang Han, no matter who you are, you are my wife.

The resources used to summon humanoids come from sacrifices. According to Jiang Han's experiments, there are restrictions on the items that can be sacrificed. One category is various carbon-based substances, including biological corpses, wood, ore, fuel, and fur. The second category is various metals. Silver, iron, steel, copper, etc. can all be sacrificed. Whether there are other substances in the future, Jiang Han still needs to continue research.

He also discovered a point, that is, it seems that the system does not summon the character's special skin form, but summons it according to Jiang Han's inner impression. This was verified when he saw that the summoned Sister 45 was the initial skin, not the Agent Lop-Eared Rabbit he had been using.

It’s not that he has any fantasies about the little girl 45, after all, he doesn’t practice, but it should be said that little 45 is indeed a bit cute. He doesn’t practice at all, but to be honest, she is indeed cute. He is not saying that he likes to practice, but this lop-eared rabbit is indeed too cute, but he doesn’t practice.

Although Sister 45 is very handsome after her mental upgrade, the mechanical arm is heartbreaking to look at. In Jiang Han's heart, he still hopes that she can be the same as she was at the beginning.

As a veteran of night battles, 45, an old night owl, had just arrived and had not yet adjusted to the jet lag. He tossed and turned in the room, unable to fall asleep.

Jiang Han also explained to 45 where he was now. Of course, this time he had experience and used a method that the people on the Girl's Front line could understand.

Confused? A little, indeed. Suddenly coming to this strange world, being told that everything in the past is far away from them, and they can start a new life here, all together.

A warm bed, decent food, and a nice looking small yard. Of course, the yard was a bit small, and if 9 and his friends came over in the future, they might not be able to accommodate them... Everything looked so beautiful, so beautiful that 45 felt it was a little unreal.

Until she was lying in bed and heard the sound of someone climbing over the wall and sneaking in.

Yes, yes, that's the feeling! 45 doesn't like doing dirty work, and no one likes living in the dark, but now, at this moment, these thieves gave her a strange sense of security and familiarity. How does the saying go, meeting an old friend in a foreign land?

No matter what, she was ready to go out and take a look.

I have to say, the scene of three grown men sticking their butts out in front of the door in the dark was really funny, so funny that she wanted to laugh, but she had to interrupt, after all, the person sleeping inside was the commander.

Up to now, 45 is in a good mood, of course, only up to now.

Just 4 seconds later, a horrific human tragedy took place here. The crackling sounds and wailing sounds of broken ribs and broken noses echoed throughout Hechun Lane, waking up a large circle of dogs around, which joined in the chorus.

The moment Zhang Xiaoyi heard the screams, his heart trembled instantly. He could tell that it was Zhao Lai's scream, Li Gousheng's scream, and Zhang San's scream...

This time it was broken, that person really had a guard inside! Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoyi almost ran away, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a dark shadow standing in front of him.

The noise from the outside world had nothing to do with Jiang Han. He was drugged and slept like a dead pig until the next morning, when he woke up refreshed. Then he saw his four good brothers hanging on the eaves of his house. The brothers looked miserable now, with blood flowing from their faces and noses from being beaten. It would take a while for their mother to recognize them.

"What does this mean?"

Jiang Han was a little confused. It was supposed to be hanging bacon, but what was this?

At this moment, they were in the county government office, watching Zhao Pu sitting in the hall with a rather bad look on his face.

The people just entered the city yesterday, and they were robbed that night. Doesn't this show that the public security in Anping City is extremely poor? Isn't this a slap in the face of the parent official? Looking at the miserable state of the three people in the audience, Zhao Pu didn't feel sorry at all, but felt that it was right!

Breaking into someone's home without permission, breaking their legs is the least of their problems. To avoid trouble, I had arranged for them to stay in Hechun Lane's yard. I believe that normal people can see the meaning behind this at a glance, but these people still did it. Not only did they do it, but they were also caught and beaten like this. Bah! In one word, disgusting!

With all the witnesses and evidence, the proof was irrefutable and the trial of the case ended without much hassle. The four of them were taken to jail, where they lived in comfort. Their separate homes were transformed into shared dormitories, and they would be beaten with sticks when their injuries healed.

The Ming Dynasty was quite strict about theft. Even if you didn't steal anything but broke into someone else's house, it would be considered theft and you would be punished with beating. However, based on the injuries of these people, they would probably be beaten to death if they were beaten with a stick, so they were given a break before being punished.

"I am very curious, who beat them like this? Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

"Uh, it's me."

Jiang Han had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the blame for Sister 45, otherwise it would be difficult to explain himself.

"Oh? I didn't realize you have special skills. Okay, let's go."

It was obvious that the official was in a bad mood. After the case was handled, Jiang Han quickly withdrew after signing his name. As the plaintiff, he basically had nothing to do.

"Hey, did you hear that Zhang San and his gang have been arrested?"

In the teahouse, several tables of people gathered together to chat and talked about this matter. This is also the reason why there are not many new things in Anping City.

"I heard it was some kind of theft."

"Then do you know whose house they robbed?"

"I really don't know, could you please tell me?"

"Hey, I was watching it live, so I told you. Did you know that a family came to our Anping City yesterday?"

"Ah, is it that stupid young man from some unknown family? Whose family did Zhang San and his gang steal from?"

"That's right! Yesterday, they saw that silly young man shopping lavishly on the street, spending money like water. Zhang San and his friends were tempted. They calculated that there were only a couple in the yard, so they sneaked into the yard in the middle of the night and prepared to take away all the money."

"This thief is really abominable!"

Everyone hates thieves who get something for nothing. The behavior of Zhang San and others undoubtedly aroused the indignation of the people.

"So what happened next?"

"What happened later? These people never expected that the silly young man actually had superb martial arts skills! With just three punches and two kicks, they were beaten to the point of crying for their parents. They were tied up and taken to the government office early in the morning. I was watching outside the government office at the time. Oh, it was so miserable. Their faces were beaten so badly that they looked unrecognizable."

"Oh my goodness! There is such a thing!"

The news that the new silly young master had martial arts skills spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Have you heard that Zhang San and his men went to the house of the new stupid young master with weapons to steal, but they were beaten to a pulp by the stupid young master!"

"Do you know that Zhang San and his gang of more than ten people went to the silly young master's house to steal with weapons, but they were all defeated by the silly young master alone!"

"Oh, I saw him when he entered the city! He brought more than ten war horses with him. He must be a capable man. I'm afraid he has killed dozens of Tartars."

Unconsciously, Jiang Han had become known among the common people as the unrivalled warrior with a height of eight feet and a waist of eight feet. As a result, he felt that people around him were looking at him strangely when he went out for a walk these past few days.

But that was not Jiang Han's biggest worry. He was now worried about another thing: crops.

The various trades in the Ming Dynasty brought a variety of new crops into the country, including the most important ones, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc....

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are crucial. In all novels, they are the first step for the protagonist to become a superior person. The food problem has troubled the Chinese for thousands of years. It was not until these two crops became popular in the country that the Chinese were freed from the suffering of starvation. Even in years of famine, there was food to eat. And those who could feed the people were worthy of having temples built for them and worshipped as gods.

The idea was good, but there was a problem. The textbooks he had read before said that these crops had been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, but they were generally regarded as tributes from foreign countries and were basically concentrated in the hands of wealthy families. Small-scale cultivation, such as potatoes, was only carried out by vegetable farmers in Shanglinyuan. Ordinary people could not afford to eat them at all, and had no way to eat them.

Sweet potatoes are not so bad. They should be grown in Fujian now, but that place is too far away and merchants simply won't go there to do business. Jiang Han has been wandering around the market these two days, asking around, but he hasn't found the seeds he wants. After thinking of the answer, he became even more worried.

This famine situation will continue for quite some time and will not be changed by any individual's will. Food will become more and more expensive until it is unaffordable, unless there is a crop that can feed people.

But now the feeling of seeing a treasure mountain but not being able to enter is too uncomfortable. Where can he find someone who can buy potatoes?

Volume 12: Chapter Chapter : I came to the end of Ming Dynasty to do only three things
