The Miwoks surrendered, and Zhou Li'an became even busier.
There was a language barrier between the three departments, so when issuing orders, he had to do it himself. However, when assigning work tasks, the Modocs were still the main ones, leading the other two departments.
After all, they were the first to integrate into the Balance, and they had mature craftsmen and knights who could teach these brand-new skills and techniques to the Mono and Miwok people.
Men were responsible for hunting, logging, and building housing.
Women picked wild fruits and vegetables, tended the fields, and cultivated them.
The three parts are integrated and the progress is rapid.
The school now built can accommodate 500 children learning the language, and Snow Girl selected a group of children who were the first to learn Chinese as teachers.
During the day, they teach the basics, and in the evening, the snow girl teaches them advanced knowledge.
After nine o'clock every night, Zhou Li'an will tutor Xue Nu for three hours, forming a knowledge production line.
Of course, more tribal children are still unable to enter school, and the teaching staff is weak, so we can only follow the steps.
What needs to be done at this stage is to enable these nearly 30,000 balanced people to survive self-sufficiently and ensure population reproduction.
Only when everything was complete could Zhou Li'an dare to use the [Time Flow Configurator] to accelerate time.
And before that.
Zhou Li'an needs to buy more horses in this world.
Stone Ranch had almost all the young horses under the age of 2 years old; but there are countless horse farms in Montana, so there is no need to worry about finding a source of supplies.
After contacting Ben Stone, he was happy to help search for the source of goods. Firstly, it was a friendly favor, and secondly, he could also make a small profit from the price difference.
Zhou Li'an doesn't want to appear in public, so it would be best to have their family help.
While waiting for the horses to arrive.
Zhou Li'an visited Owens Valley again, this time he brought a dozen Mono craftsmen who had learned to build houses.
The Mono and Paiute had a common language and could teach them new technologies.
At the same time, the seventeenth Ma clan was ready, and the migratory troops of more than 5,000 people set off towards the Balance Station.
Mid-June.
The Balance Chapter received the map given by our Lord.
The previously discovered tribal settlements were marked on the map, and they began to sweep into southern California to complete their rule over the entire state.
Present life.
Stone also brought good news. 3,500 horses were in place. After Zhou Li'an paid the deposit, they began to transfer the horses to Zhou Li'an's rented horse farm in Montana, where they were temporarily taken care of by Old Kenting.
Wait for the transfer to be completed.
Zhou Li'an set off again, heading to Montana.
Old rules.
After getting old Kenting, a drunkard, all 3,500 horses into the system for temporary storage.
This batch of horses should be the last transaction between Zhou Li'an and the Stone family.
It wouldn't be good to make too much noise in Montana. Even if he wanted to buy more horses in the future, he planned to move to another place to reduce the impact.
The relationship with the Stone family came to an end.
So Zhou Li'an stayed for two more days.
I have been so busy these past few months that I have to neglect Martina, the youngest daughter of the Stone family.
The man had already had a failed marriage and had little interest in the love of his children. Martina probably knew that the relationship between the two would not work out in the end, and the exchange of news was becoming increasingly rare.
This is good, leaving a good memory for each other.
After staying at Stone's house for two days, Zhou Li'an flew directly from Montana to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, to surprise Comrade Lao Wang.
5 containers, a total of 11,000 bison skins arrived.
Even so, there are still thousands of furs in the system space that have not been taken out; the people of Balance have now mastered the migration patterns of the local bison herds, and the harvest has soared after summer.
There are also 2,000 people left in the Owens Valley, and they are all the actual fighting force within the tribe.
Armed with new iron weapons, I hunted buffalo hides every day for embalming. Waiting for the coming of my Lord, I piled up altars and dedicated them to the true God.
night.
The two celebrated with a drink in the room and ate Mexican-style barbecue.
After three rounds of drinking, Lao Wang had a sudden thought, "Ah Zhou Sheng, how about we become sworn brothers? In the days to come, we will share blessings and share hardships..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Zhou Li'an frowned and looked at him, "You don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but you want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day?"
"Half of your body has been buried in the ground, and you want to hold me on your back before you die?"
"Old Wang, I haven't treated you badly, have I?"
Wang Defa was stunned and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Oh my, how about I ask Yingying to recognize you as my godfather?"
Zhou Li'an was really happy.
Lao Wang felt that it was too easy to get the money, and he wouldn't be able to live without calling him daddy a few times.
"Since you are so emotional, how about doing me a favor?"
Wang Defa immediately patted his chest and said: "Ah Zhou Sheng, just say it, if I, Afa, say no, my family will be rich!"
The next day.
When Wang Defa woke up, he went to ring the doorbell next door, but found that Zhou Li'an was not there. After calling the phone, he learned that he had gone to the villa he had purchased in Juarez early in the morning.
So, Lao Wang drove there and brought a week's worth of ingredients as required.
The moment he walked in, he was no longer calm.
"Wardfark????"
"Jo, Jonah's daughter?"
"God, Zhou Sheng, are you kidding me?"
"Why is she here?"
Zhou Li'an did not answer, but introduced them to each other, "Patricia, you obviously know each other."
"This is Wang, my business partner. He will also be the one responsible for taking care of you and buying ingredients in the future."
Patricia nodded silently, still not good at words.
She had learned about the current situation more than an hour ago.
There was a gap of two months in her memory. The moment before, she was on the run after an assassination. After meeting Zhou Li'an, she fell into a coma.
When he woke up, he actually appeared in a small town in Mexico.
Jonah was not released.
Zhou Li'an planned to release him before leaving, leaving the ideological work to Patricia.
After all, the whole thing was Patricia's attention.
Zhou Li'an said he would not take the blame.
At this scene, Lao Wang's whole body exploded, "I? I want to take care of them? But Zhou Sheng, he, they are wanted criminals!!"
Zhou Li'an looked at him lightly, "So, you are not willing to help me with this?"
"..."
Wang Defa was speechless.
If he dares to say no, let alone whether the curse last night will take effect; if only Zhou Li'an cuts off the supply of goods, the transaction between the two will not be able to continue.
Money and risk are directly proportional.
He said that the transaction went too smoothly.
It turns out that the hole has been dug long ago and is waiting for him here.
Seeing that Lao Wang calmed down, Zhou Li'an took Patricia to the safe house in the villa.
In the safe house, a large amount of weapons and ammunition were taken out and kept for self-protection.
The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Zhou Li'an.
Lao Wang is responsible for delivering food and daily necessities every week, and Jonah and his daughter live here with peace of mind.
After a period of time, when the limelight is less, they will find David Liang, a local snake, to apply for a new identity for them. As long as they do not leave Mexico, their normal life will not be affected.
Before leaving.
Zhou Li'an entered the bedroom on the second floor and released Jonah.
Then he ducked downstairs and left with Lao Wang.
In the car.
Wang Defa kept sighing and sighing, with thousands of words stuck in his throat, but in the end he couldn't help complaining, "Zhou Sheng, why do you have to wade into this muddy water?"
"..."
"Mexico is not a lawless place. If the gangs knew that two fugitives were hiding here, they would sell the information to the FBI in exchange for profit chips."
"..."
"Zhou Sheng, I'm not being alarmist."
Zhou Li'an didn't talk at all.
Not to mention that they will not show up for the time being, even if they show up, Zhou Li'an will still want Jonah and his daughter to be his person in charge in front of the Mexican stage.
What can be betrayed is often not enough.
What can the FBI bring to the gangs? To inform them before arrests? Or to release their once-arrested bosses?
When 12 million ounces of gold are in front of you, it is clear who to cooperate with.
Gold is hard currency, and more importantly, it is anonymous.
"Zhou Sheng, did you listen to what I said..." Lao Wang was still persuading him tirelessly.
Zhou Li'an looked at him slightly indifferently, "If you regret cooperating with me, you can withdraw your shares now, and I will repay the original price of the leather factory and offshore company."
As soon as he finished speaking, the noise along the way disappeared without a trace.
Lao Wang was not in a hurry to give an answer. He needed to think... Should he give up for three buckets of rice, or should he decisively withdraw his capital and run away to save his life?
What's more, this is not three buckets of rice; this time Zhou Li'an brought 11,000 furs.
Even if each ticket is sold at 3,000 dollars, 3.3 million of the 33 million dollars will be divided equally between two people. Excluding the cost, each family will get 1.5 million U.S. dollars.
This is one month’s net profit.
The future is still long, and making 10 million a year is not a dream.
Zhou Li'an did not continue to use threats or inducements.
At this point, Comrade Lao Wang has completed his mission, and the tool man can go offline at any time.
The factory has a manager who is responsible for operations, and the worst case scenario is hiring a professional manager with a high salary to be responsible for accounting matters.
The supply of goods is in your own hands, and no one else can take advantage of it.
Get off at the hotel.
Zhou Li'an checked out and left without saying a word to Lao Wang the whole time.
However.
When he returned to the United States, a text message from Lao Wang was sent——
"Ah Zhou Sheng, two brothers in one generation!"
"Your business is my business. Don't worry about taking care of their business!"
Hahaha.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
…
Midsummer in July.
4,000 acres of paddy fields have been drained of water and have grown into continuous green ears of rice.
Because plowing and sowing were delayed, only 4,000 acres of hybrid rice were sown this year, and this was only the first farming trial for the people of Balance.
The requirements are not high. If the yield per mu is 400 kilograms of rice, the task is completed if the rice is harvested at 320 kilograms. In the end, the total harvest is 1.28 million kilograms of grain.
Assuming that 30,000 people consume 12,000 kilograms per day, this harvest can satisfy consumption for three months.
Not to mention that there is enough bison meat and 1,000 acres of radishes and potatoes. It is impossible to go hungry.
In the past half month, the equestrian training for the seventeenth Ma clan has come to an end.
Zhou Li'an went to investigate and they handed over satisfactory answers.
So at noon on this day.
2,000 people bathed, changed clothes, and worshiped our Lord after being balanced.
Zhou Li'an first gave them 500 horses. Both men and women must be proficient in riding skills.
The seventeenth Ma clan were shocked by the greatness of our Lord's creation. After sheltering and pacifying 500 horses, they began a night of carnival.
The warriors left behind by the flute department even played the flute, and the women compiled songs for the Great Balance and danced to bless the gods.
However, Zhou Li'an was a little absent-minded.
because--
[Ding! Time travel ×500; deduction of 4,999,500 US dollars!]
[Ding! The cumulative consumption of the system has reached 10,000,000 US dollars; system functions (except time travel) are temporarily locked!!]
[The system will be updated to version 2.0, estimated update time is 71:59:59]
[The use of system functions will be reopened after the system update is completed...]
【Stay tuned!!】
system update?
Totally unexpected!!
I vaguely remember that when the trial version was updated from the 1.0 system, it seemed to be mentioned that there would be system functions in the next version.
Although the time travel function does not affect the use now, it feels like a cat's claw scratching my heart.
Urgent, urgent.
The next day.
System functions are closed.
Zhou Li'an didn't even dare to fly the plane back to the equilibrium station. Even if the time-travel was not affected, what if the system had a seizure and became inoperable?
The risk of a plane crash exists, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Li'an to risk his life.
Return to the present world.
Zhou Li'an simply contacted Lao Wang and asked about the situation of Jonah and his daughter during this period.
Comrade Lao Wang has resigned himself to his fate, or he is blinded by money.
The 6,000 furs sent at the end of May were still sold at US$3,000 each, with a revenue of 18 million; while the 11,000 bison skins sent in mid-June are still being processed.
Lao Wang has negotiated with the buyer to sell it at a price of 2,700 U.S. dollars, for a total price of 29.7 million U.S. dollars.
Added together for two months, Lao Wang's net profit reached 2.1 million US dollars, with an average of 1 million per month. If you don't kneel down, why are you waiting?
Zhou Li'an's purchase of 3,500 horses costs 5 million, and placing 500 horses costs another 5 million. The account balance is 40 million, but there are still 4,000 horses that have not yet been placed, waiting for system deductions.
16.2 million is the balance that has been accounted for, and 29 million was accounted for at the end of July. The assets are constant at around 40 million US dollars.
Now let’s see what consumption functions will be available after the system is updated, which will allow you to make money.
Otherwise, the money would be too much to spend, so he would have to buy more horses to add to the balanced cavalry.
Half a month after Jonah and his daughter arrived in Juarez, Zhou Li'an had no contact with them.
All conveyed by Lao Wang.
"Luke is still the same as before. He has a lot of complaints against you. Let me tell you... Zhou Sheng, you shouldn't have helped them. Didn't the dog bite Lu Dongbin?"
"By the way, I have given the outline of the manuscript you sent to Luke Jonah. I don't know whether he has written it or not."
The Codex of Balance has not been updated for two months, and there are too many things to write about.
The Miwok and Paiute surrendered.
The latter was even given a surname by the great Lord of Balance.
All of these are worth writing about, after all, they are all myths and legends about the miracles performed by our Lord.
And unlike the Bible...
A few years later, the historical records left by the people of Kung Fu will be consistent with the descriptions in the Kōng Kōng Scripture.
It is not written in the Bible that a certain Jesus restored sight to the blind and made the lame walk.
That's it, that's it?
It is completely unreliable.
Open your mouth at the beginning, and then rely on your blowing.
Zhou Li'an felt relieved when he heard that the father and daughter were fine, and then asked about arranging new identities for them.
Lao Wang said: "This matter is not easy to handle, Zhou Sheng. You can trust me, but we can't trust David!"
"If he leaks the information, we will all be exposed. After all, I have to go back to the United States to live, and I don't want to be visited by the FBI."
In fact, Lao Wang is passing the blame.
The subtext is nothing more than, if you want to die, you die, I will not contact David Liang.
Zhou Li'an is not afraid that David Liang will report him. This is what he wants. Will reporting on Jonah and his daughter bring him any benefits?
On the contrary, Zhou Li'an was offended and his monthly service fee of 20,000 US dollars was lost at all.
And for doing this favor, he won't lose even a penny of the extra service fee.
Lao Wang is cautious, Zhou Li'an doesn't blame him.
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Make sure they have food and daily necessities. I will take care of other things myself."
In a blink of an eye.
Three days later.
[Ding! System update completed...]
[Please check the system update items yourself to get a better founding experience!!]
