The soul is mysterious and mysterious.

Since ancient times, no one can tell what it is, why the body decays and the soul can exist alone, and why it can continue to be powerful, and even be reincarnated and reborn?

A sack of glass marbles almost exhausted Xia Yi's soul power. It was the next day that he woke up slowly. He was like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness. He was like an old man in his seventies and eighties, and was dozing in the sun under the tree for more than ten days, and then he gradually recovered as before.

However, this period of time also scared the subjects in the fief.

On the one hand, everyone has no backbone and no energy to do things. On the other hand, a young minister who has just been granted no descendants and has no descendants to inherit him. If he unfortunately dies, he will be directly deprived of his title and everyone will have a good life together.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Xia Yi immediately inspected the fiefdom, and led a few young and strong men to hunt in the forest, and swam several miles around.

During this period, the people sent out to purchase iron tools and grain also came back. They also bought twenty oxen oxen and some crude plows. The speed of land reclamation increased significantly. Since the Yishui River next to it was the Yishui River, many fields were filled with water.

Along the way, there were traffic in the fields, houses and brick kilns emitting blue smoke. The fiefs had begun to take shape and built seven or eight small villages around the most central forest.

Every household has built a house, and those who are faster have also built pigpens and chicken coops, and have begun to raise poultry and livestock.

In the sun, smoke from cooking is rising, and it is the time to make fire and make rice.

Zifang sighed, money and grain were already nervous, and there were another 1,500 mouths to eat, build walls, cut down forests, cultivate fields, build houses... Which one does not need money? The worker Han Kuang even felt that he was not in enough staff and wanted to buy hundreds of slaves to serve, but who knew the difficulties of the head of the family?

"Oh, why is our treasurer so bitter all day long? If others know, they would think they had suffered some grievances when they took care of my money and food."

Xia Yi quipped.

Zifang looked sad and bowed, "Your Majesty is laughing at me again. It is a matter of sharing your worries, but... but... it's not yet time for spring plowing!"

Xia Yi knew what he was going to say.

During this period, he has made a lot of construction and spent money to buy an axe for every household, burning kilns and buying cattle and sheep. In half a month, there were only more than 80,000 sword coins left in the warehouse, but now there are only 20,000 left. If this continues, I am afraid I won’t be able to sustain the spring plowing.

In this case, the ovary must be anxious.

Xia Yi took out a glass marble from his arms and handed it to the ovary, saying, "Sir Treasurer, see what this is?"

In an instant, the ovary opened his eyes wide, his blood surged, and he said tremblingly: "This...this!this!this!this!this!this!this!this!this!"

In the sun, the glass marbles seem to reflect light, crystal clear, and there are strange patterns inside, which are even more dazzling and beautiful than pearls. Just take a look at them, and it seems that there is a fascinating magic.

Xia Yi smiled and said, "Sir Treasurer, guess how much this bead is worth?"

"According to what my ministers see, it can be worth at least 100,000 yuan! No, it is possible to have 500,000 yuan! No, it is hard to say, the first time in my life I have seen such a foreign object..." Zifang murmured while marveling, and suddenly wondered: "Your Majesty, the ministers will ask, where does this thing come from?"

"Oh, where did you say it came from?" Xia Yi said in a contemplative manner, "I remembered that I picked it up by the lake in the east! Yes, I was chasing a elk at that time and accidentally slid into the water... If I had known that this thing was so valuable, I should have picked up more."

The zi shivered and suddenly looked radiant. He hurriedly said, "You are the one who is here to pick it up now! Such a magical object must be the kindness of God, and you must not disobey!"

Xia Yi suddenly realized and said with a solemn look on his face: "Heaven does not take it, but he will be blamed. You are right!"

So, while pretending, Xia Yi took the zifang and a group of guards to a small lake in the woods, searched on the shore, and took out a handful of beads from a crack in a stone.

I counted it and it was exactly three hundred.

It is precious to things because they are precious. There are more than 3,000 beads in the sack. He dug a hole in the room and buried the glass marbles underground. He only placed one tenth of them in the crack of the rocks in the lake, and then performed this drama.

The ovary was so excited that his face turned red, his heart was pounding, and his breathing was heavy.

Next to them, twenty guards looked at each other.

A bead can be sold for 100,000 yuan, so how many are three hundred? They are all slaves and have never been involved in arithmetic since childhood, but they should be able to compete with the three major families...

"Ahem... don't make this happen, and don't let others know about it." Xia Yi cleared his throat and said, "Sir Treasurer, tomorrow you will bring thirty beads to exchange for some money, grain and supplies, and visit my second uncle by the way. If possible, see if you can get some physical training methods and train us for sergeants."

"After orders, my subordinates will fulfill their mission!"

The Dali Dynasty was centered on the well-field system and was a typical small peasant economy. The commerce and trade between countries were not developed. The biggest trade between major countries was salt, iron, slaves, cattle, sheep, horses, fur, etc.

For example, in a medium-sized country like Xia, the largest market is in the capital. There are shops of all sizes on the streets. Vendors from neighboring countries often come to sell rare goods. It is also the most lively place in Xia. However, Xia State is more than 200 miles in a radius, and many fiefs often take several days to travel, so it has also formed a gathering place in some large fiefs.

The Mu family has a population of 20,000, and the fiefdom is very prosperous. Over time, a "Mu City" has been formed. Every time the first and fifteenth day of the day, many people go to the market. People in the surrounding areas who need to trade goods will go there. During this period, the purchase is arranged by the ovary houses. However, this time the relationship is important, and the treasurer must take action personally, because there are not many people who can afford the price. Only by connecting with the senior management of the Mu family can this matter be done.

With money, everything is much easier.

The world is in troubled times, and the wars of various countries are getting stronger and stronger year by year. Xia State has a bad relationship with several surrounding countries. It will not take long to see a war. As a nobleman, he has the obligation to defend the capital. Once a war breaks out, he may not be out of the matter.

Moreover, there was a prince eyeing him, which made people uncomfortable.

More importantly, since he started practicing, he gradually guessed some clues, such as during this period, he liked to go to the ancestral temple to practice the most. Making a wish consumed the power of his soul, but his entry was very fast, and he had the confidence to maintain it in the sun for a moment even during the day.

Perhaps, the Qi Refiner was greedy for the position of Supreme Master, and built a large-scale construction in the fiefdom, and asked his subjects to sacrifice every day, which was also related to the cultivation of the soul. Otherwise, how could all this be explained?

"Your Majesty, I want to report something." Wei Heng walked over and handed over a bamboo slip, saying, "Recently, all households have made arrangements and devoted themselves to building the city. However, people are missing every day. After checking for several days, I have no clue, so I came to report to you to make a decision."

Missing?

Xia Yi frowned and took the bamboo slips to see that there were more than a dozen people on it, all of which were young and strong laborers, including civilians and slaves, and the time of disappearance was different.

This is really strange. During this period, we came to the fiefdom to patrol tightly. During the day, people were sent to hunt in the surrounding woods, and bonfires were lit at night. Wild beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards were empty. Logically speaking, there should be no danger. How could people keep disappearing?
