Fenghua City is actually not that far away from Haishu City. Now the members of the Beggar Clan seem to be walking much faster after getting new clothes and new shoes.
In addition, we had very little rest time along the way, so we were halfway through the journey in only about three hours.
Like everyone else, Xia Yan and Su Yue also walked the entire journey. This was nothing to Xia Yan, but to Su Yong, who had not exercised much all year round, it was a bit of a hardship.
After three hours, Su Yue's feet were already scratched, and she looked at Xia Yan with a sad look in her eyes.
"I haven't seen a ghost in two or three days, but I've found so many little brothers. Are you ready to go to heaven?"
Xia Yan smiled awkwardly, but actually he felt miserable.
What do I want from these little brothers? Wolong didn't bring them to me. How could I be willing if I could choose?
But thinking so in my heart, I naturally couldn't say that in my mouth. I could only simply comfort him and carry him on his back.
Soon after, it got dark today, and everyone had to prepare to find a place to rest.
But after the sky darkened, it became a problem where more than 3,000 people would go to sleep.
If it had been in the past, this would have been nothing. The world is so vast that it is home to all the seas. As long as there is ground, you can sleep on it.
But now everyone is wearing new clothes, and no one is willing to get them dirty like this.
At this moment, Xia Yan secretly regretted that he only thought about buying clothes for everyone but forgot to buy a quilt for everyone.
This was good, a group of people just sat on the ground and didn't want to touch the ground any more.
What's more, some people don't even sit down but just stand straight up, for fear that their new clothes will be stained with even a little bit of dust.
Even though Xia Yan emphasized over and over again that he would buy new clothes for everyone and everyone could rest assured, it seemed to have little effect.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Su Yue hugged her legs and said in Xia Yan's ear.
"They used to be people in rags. Now that they have new clothes, they naturally have to protect them well. This is normal."
Xia Yan nodded, knowing that he couldn't persuade them anymore, so he gave up.
So, instead of cherishing his clothes like others, he lay down on the spot and began to sleep soundly.
The second day...
The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky, another perfect day.
Xia Yan slowly woke up under the sunshine, but felt as if he had had a very beautiful dream and couldn't help but stretch.
Slowly opening his eyes, he froze on the spot for a moment.
Yesterday...were there so many people?
Beside Xia Yan, there were densely packed people standing there. Since it was not too early, not many people were asleep now.
Seeing Xia Yan regaining consciousness, Wolong also supported his waist and came to Xia Yan's side.
"Gang leader, all the more than 37,000 people are ready and ready to go at any time."
There were more than 37,000 people, exactly ten times the number of people yesterday.
Nowadays, these people are chatting happily with each other, and they don't seem to feel any strangeness due to the increase in the number of people, as if there have always been so many people.
Hearing this, Xia Yan's heart moved.
Good guy, you've already multiplied your number by ten. Now that you're so advanced, can you give out rewards without telling yourself?
Although Xia Yan's attitude didn't look like he was raising an army to accuse him, he was at least a little unhappy and confused.
You know, in the past, you would wait until you were awake and free to talk about anything, but now you are giving out rewards when you are asleep, sneak attacks! No martial ethics!
However, Xia Yan also understood that what was supposed to come would always come, so he didn't say anything more and just continued to walk silently.
Another three or four hours passed, and a group of people finally arrived outside Fenghua City with their slightly tired bodies.
This place can be regarded as a suburb outside Fenghua City. There are three or two ruined temples here. Due to the lack of people all year round, the place is now somewhat dilapidated.
In the temple, there is also a Buddha statue with some paint peeling off.
The Buddha statue was covered with dust and it seemed that no one had cleaned it for many years.
Xia Yan could tell that this temple used to be quite small, but he didn't know why the monks here stopped coming back here.
While the monks were away, the beggars naturally took over the place.
Of course, this is not for staying overnight.
Although these beggars are all members of the Beggar Gang, the Beggar Gang does not have any base. It is just that people come here to take a rest from time to time.
After all, Fenghua City is huge. It takes half a day to walk from the East City to the West City. The beggars sleep wherever they go. It’s not worth traveling such a long way just to get some sleep.
It's just that occasionally people pass by here when begging and come here to sit and take a rest or see if other members of the beggar gang come here to brag and gossip.
When Xia Yan and others arrived, they all sat down to rest. Wolong also came to Xia Yan and Su Yue at this moment.
"Gang Leader, now that we have arrived, I will let the brothers go and do their own business first. It is time for them to continue begging."
Hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly, "You just came here and you're going to beg?"
"Haha, there is nothing you can do if you don't go. We don't have much income. Many people have nothing to eat. If we don't go begging, there will be nothing else to do. You can imagine that there are probably a large number of our brothers.
You have to starve. After all, there are more than 300,000 people in Fenghua City, but there are more than 30,000 beggars. I don’t know how we had so many beggars in the first place..."
After hearing Wolong's words, Xia Yan scratched his head in embarrassment. If it hadn't been for him, there wouldn't have been so many beggars.
Therefore, since these beggars appear because of me, I also have the obligation to prevent them from becoming beggars.
So Xia Yan said directly to Wolong: "Brother Long, from now on you will be the general manager of our gang. The brothers in our gang now have new clothes, so they should no longer beg. We should have our own
cause."
"Career? What career?"
After listening to Xia Yan's words, Wolong's eyes flashed with light, seeming to be very interested in Xia Yan's words.
Xia Yan did not hide anything, "I will give you the money, and you will be responsible for finding someone to purchase a series of materials for building houses, such as wood, bricks and tiles, so that all of us can build our own homes together. We should not continue to be beggars."
Help, we have to rely on ourselves to continue to strengthen ourselves.”
After that, Xia Yan directly told Wolong the specific method.
For example, how should my group of people be self-reliant, grow vegetables in the fields, cut firewood, build houses, buy equipment, etc.
In short, in one sentence, the old beggar gang can no longer become a new beggar gang and needs to become a powerful regular army!
