All of his subordinates were sent out, and Zhao Yun took Li Shilan and began to wander around Mayi City, while Dian Wei was with him.

It was difficult to find someone in the huge city, even if you know the name, it was difficult. Three days later, Zhao Yun received the report and found the Zhang family.

The Zhang Liao family is also a wealthy family, but not a big family. The family has some money, the mansion is pretty good, and there are dozens of servants.

Zhang Feng is also well-known in Mayi, otherwise Zhao Yun's subordinates would not have found him so quickly.

After receiving the news, Zhao Yun immediately brought Dian Wei to visit him.

Zhang Feng came out to greet him in person, but there was no way. No matter what, Zhao Yun came as the magistrate of Qinghu County. No matter how small his official position is, he is still an official, so the Zhang family dare not neglect it.

After sitting down and chatting, Zhao Yun realized that Zhang Feng had two sons, one of them was naturally Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao also had an older brother named Zhang Fan.

I came here today and didn't see Zhang Liao. Zhang Feng said that the two brothers had gone out of the city for a trip and would probably not come back tomorrow. Zhao Yun and Zhang Feng talked for a moment before saying goodbye.

The weather was getting colder, and Zhao Yun was very caring about Li Shilan and intimately added clothes to him.

Walking on the road, suddenly a child rushed over and hit Li Shilan, and then ran away in an instant. Li Shilan was shocked and screamed.

Zhao Yun quickly supported him, turned his head and saw that the child ran to the corner of the street and disappeared.

"Weiguo, go and have a look, but don't scare him."

Dian Wei nodded and left.

He sent Li Shilan back to the inn, but his wallet was gone. Zhao Yun smiled slightly, comforted her a few words, and then waited downstairs of the inn.

Soon, Dian Wei came back and said, "I followed him to a slum, where there were many wandering children, with a population of about sixty or seventy. The child had a seriously ill mother at home, and the whole dilapidated house smelled of medicine."

Zhao Yun nodded and said nothing. He was not angry, otherwise Dian Wei would not have scared the child.

I often see such plots on TV, but I didn’t expect that I was encountered by myself now. I didn’t have much money and Zhao Yun didn’t care, but he thought of another problem from this child.

As an otaku in his previous life, reading novels was one of his indispensable pleasures. Many protagonists in the book would adopt some orphans, cultivate them, and do things for themselves.

Zhao Yun felt that in the future, if you want to fight for the world, you will have a force hidden in the dark and absolutely loyal to you.

So he asked Li Shilan to wait in the inn, and took Dian Wei and seven strong men to the street, bought food on a large scale, and carried the seven strong men and Dian Wei, led by Dian Wei to this slum.

There are not only wandering children in the slums, but also many adults, who are struggling to survive in the city. There is a stench in the air around it, which makes Zhao Yun frown slightly.

After ordering people to divide the food, many people gathered soon, hundreds of them, including less than fifty of the wandering children, most of whom were adults, and more than ten elderly people.

These foods are not expensive, but they are not enough. Zhao Yun asked someone to buy more and then found one of the old men to talk to.

"Brother-in-law, are the children here orphans?"

The old man replied: "Some of them are, and some have parents, but life is difficult and there is no difference between them and wandering children."

"If I buy these children with money, do you think their parents will agree?"

The old man said: "Of course, not only can I get the money, but I also help them solve the problem of raising children. I'm afraid I can't get it."

Zhao Yun nodded and thanked the old man, he visited the door to door. As the old man said, when he expressed his wish, most of these parents with children were willing to sell their children, and only a few two or three families were unwilling.

If he didn't want to, Zhao Yun did not force him, so he left some food and left.

As for those who are willing, the price has been negotiated, two thousand yuan!

I bought a total of 36 children, spending a total of 72,000 yuan. Thirty-six children are not as valuable as a war horse!

Zhao Yun returned to the inn, pulled out the Yezhao Jade Lion, rode out of the city, and circled around the city, and soon found a broken house outside the city. He didn't know what he was worshipped before, but now he is dilapidated.

Ye Zhao Yushidu was very fast, and he immediately returned to the city and asked someone to take the children out of the city to this dilapidated house. There were also those wandering children who were willing to follow him, plus the thirty-six children he bought, a total of 133 people.

Dian Wei said before that there were 60 or 70, because he did not understand the situation and only reported what he saw.

If you have food to eat, these wandering children are naturally willing to come with you.

The dilapidated house is not big, and it is a bit crowded for more than 100 children, but fortunately they are all used to it, and everyone is crowded together one by one, and it will not be cold at night. Zhao Yun asked someone to buy food from the city and let the children have a sumptuous dinner.

More than one hundred children, but they can’t spend 300 yuan a meal, so Zhao Yun can afford it.

He and Dian Wei rode around for three or five days, and finally found a good place, hired people from the city, cut down trees on the spot, and built more than twenty wooden houses. Half a month passed.

It was a small valley with a large area inside and a river passed by, less than fifty miles from Mayi City.

He brought the children and Li Shilan over, and Zhao Yun was about to live here for a permanent residence!

The servants of the Li family also had seven strong men and more than ten workers employed, and worked for several days. Finally, a month later, a total of more than fifty wooden houses were built, which were enough for ten people to live in.

One night, on the way back to Mayi City, Zhao Yun shot down a big tree with a shot, looked at the workers coldly, and said, "I don't want anyone to know what happened in the past month. I hope you keep your mouth shut. If the news spreads, your fate will be the same as this tree!"

More than a dozen workers were scared and knelt down and said they did not dare to reveal it. Zhao Yun then sent them back.

In the next ten days, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also had seven strong men. They recruited secretly or attracted homeless people in Mayi City and several surrounding small towns. A total of 527 people were recruited and sent to the small valley.

The cities are not small, at least larger than Qinghu Lake, with a total of more than 300,000 people missing, and no waves were made.

At this point, Zhao Yun has been away from Qinghu for more than two months and has finally completed his customized preliminary plan.

A total of twenty women were hired in Mayi City, ten people were responsible for cooking, and ten people were responsible for hygiene. In addition, the children, the servants and maids of the Li family, totaling nearly seven hundred people, lived in that small valley. More than sixty wooden houses were arranged in a very wide area, but they were less than one-third of the area of ​​the small valley.

After everything was settled, Zhao Yun began to train troops!

First, people were asked to cut down trees and created many wooden guns and wooden knives. Dian Wei also guided them to create fifty pairs of double halberds. These fifty people will be trained by him personally, and will be trained in a focus. Including seven strong men, all of them are strong and tall.

The rest were handed over to Zhao Yun. After giving them some simple moves, Zhao Yun focused his attention on the group of children.

The first step to teach is to learn literacy. Zhao Yun did not need them to understand the meaning of scriptures, classics, poems, and lyrics. As long as they know the words and what they mean, they also taught them Arabic numerals that were common throughout the world in later generations.

These children have different talents, but simply recognizing words is not difficult for them. Everyone learns quickly.

The youngest is only four years old, and the oldest is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Since meeting Zhao Yun, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. At least they can eat full food and wear warm clothes. Although the wooden house is not luxurious, it can at least shelter from wind and rain.

Everyone, including the soldiers recruited, was very grateful to Zhao Yun. When he trained, he worked very hard and worked hard.

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, three months have passed!
