My husband, who said he was leaving for a while to pick up a batch of overseas goods, has not come back yet.
Fang Qingyan couldn't help but feel some worry and anxiety, and couldn't help but start thinking wildly, and even thought of some bad unexpected situations - although she tried her best to restrain herself and not think in those unlucky directions.
After all, the good days have only passed a few days ago, those beautiful memories have just been created, and we are just full of hope for the future. How could we let it end so suddenly?
But there is no use in thinking wildly.
I can only clasp my hands and pray secretly:
"Gods and Buddhas bless me, I will never let my husband teach me how to ride a bicycle in person in the future. I have completely learned it myself and will never accidentally fall on my husband again."
"I don't need my husband to teach me how to read and write in person. I have memorized more than 100 words with the teacher on the learning machine. Since I master less than ten words every day, Xia He will hit my palms with a ruler, which will hit me very hard."
It hurts because of the force. I originally wanted to complain to you, my husband, but I don’t plan to do that now. I want to work hard to learn more words so that Xia He can’t find an excuse to hit me and make you, my husband, look at me with admiration!"
"Hey~! When are you coming back? It's my fault that I'm so unsatisfied that I haven't consummated the marriage with my husband until now. If I had my husband's child, I wouldn't be so worried and scared."
Fang Qingyan kept mumbling, she felt that she was still too shy, and she must be more proactive in the future.
"The owner of the village is back!"
at this time.
Inside the bastion, an unknown servant's voice sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the whole manor became lively, and many people ran around telling each other the good news, with smiles and relaxation on their faces.
Fang Qingyan also became excited, put down what she was studying, got up and walked towards the liveliest area in the fort. Sure enough, she soon saw Xu Yuan surrounded by people, with a face that was dusty from all the travel.
"Husband!"
She screamed in surprise, and the crowd consciously made a gap. She quickly came to the man, took his arm, and said excitedly: "Husband, you are back!"
The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that the maid Xia He had already arrived first and hugged the man's right arm tightly.
"You don't need to gather here. Butler, you can take someone to check and sort out the goods in the basement. When customers come, we will deliver the goods directly to them."
Xu Yuan arranged to go down.
"Yes, owner."
Butler Zhao Jinde nodded and quickly took most of the workers to the basement.
Xu Yuan took Fang Qingyan, maid Xia He, guard Zhang Hu and a few others around the fortress and asked them some questions.
"Did anything go wrong in the village during the few days I left?"
"No, everything is as usual." Xia He said.
"It's okay. It's just that you're not here, Master, so everyone feels a little uneasy." Zhang Hu scratched his head and said hehey.
"And you?"
Xu Yuan turned his head and asked Fang Qingyan specifically: "Can you get used to the fact that I haven't been able to accompany you these past few days? No one in the village bullies you, right?"
"No."
Fang Qingyan glanced at Xia He next to her and said: "Husband, can't you just leave things like purchasing goods to others? Why do you have to go in person? Nowadays, the Xu family has a big business and can't do it anywhere.
You'd better be on the safe side."
"Who can trust me with goods worth millions of taels?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and said: "I understand your concern, but don't worry too much. If you don't believe me, just ask Zhang Hu and Xia He. They have made such purchases dozens of times without any problems... Don't worry when I do my work.
Just enjoy it from now on."
"But I also want to help my husband. Even if I can't help you a lot, I can still do some small things, such as... give your husband a son and a half."
Fang Qingyan's pretty face turned red, and she finally had the courage to say what she had been holding in her heart.
"The time has not come yet."
Xu Yuan looked at her body and shook his head with a smile: "Your body will have to take care of itself for a while, and you will need to eat more meat, eggs, milk, and supplement some nutrients. Only when your body develops to its optimal state, will the risk of giving birth to a child arise?"
The ability has been reduced to the lowest level. Look at yourself, and then look at Xia He. In addition to being taller, you are not as good as Xia He in weight, physical strength, and figure. You are as thin as a bamboo pole. How can you complete the great cause of reproducing future generations? Give it a while.
!”
"Master, I think I'm more suitable."
Xia He seized the opportunity, stood up immediately, puffed out his chest and said: "I have been taking supplements for several years, and I have already had enough nutrition. I am more suitable than this woman. Master, please accept me quickly."
"How dare you, a maid, dare to compete for favor? Do you have the final say whether your husband will accept you or not? Husband, you are so self-assertive that you have to sell this maid!"
Fang Qingyan scolded, she was so angry that in front of her, a mere maid dared to dance like this. She didn't take her seriously at all. If she really succeeded, she would be so unbridled in the future.
To what extent?
"Master, I have been following you for almost three years..." Xia He just looked at Xu Yuan with a look of resentment and longing.
"Okay, stop making trouble and calm down for a while!"
Xu Yuan said impatiently: "You will all enjoy what should be given to you. I have my own arrangements here. Just listen to my arrangements. You can make your own decisions. If you make trouble out of nothing, you can be forgiven once or twice. It's too many times.
, don’t blame me for not missing old friendships, my patience has its limits.”
He gave a stern warning.
"Yes, owner."
Xia He nodded sarcastically.
Fang Qingyan raised her chin slightly, and secretly decided that she must eat more of those milk, eggs, meat and the like to get a lot of nutrients, and she must be able to compete with this Xia He.
…
The next day, morning.
At the southernmost corner of the bastion, there is a compound covering an area of more than 20 acres. It is the residence of the Xujiazhuang Guard Team and is called the "Security Police Training Office".
As the name suggests, this is the place responsible for the daily security work of Xujiazhuang, as well as the specialized training of village guards. It is also responsible for the tasks of preventing fire and theft, maintaining public security, handling major civil disputes, providing disaster relief, and resisting foreign enemies.
It can be said that it has a heavy responsibility and a mission. It is the place where the safety of all people and property in Xujiazhuang depends.
It was also the initial prototype of the most powerful army planned by Xu Yuan.
However, although Xu Yuan invested a lot of cost and energy, and even personally taught the guards to read and read, in three years, about 300 qualified village guards were trained and organized into three teams, one for patrols and one for patrols.
team, guard team, security team.
The main responsibility of the patrol team is patrolling.
The main task of the guard is to protect the personal safety of the manor and its owner Xu Yuan.
The security team is responsible for handling daily security incidents.
Recently, due to the rapid expansion of Xujiazhuang and various situations, the village guards have been transferred to various places. Currently, there are only about 100 guards left in Xujiazhuang, and they have been very busy recently.
Not only did they have to complete the daily fixed training, but they also had to undertake patrol and security tasks that were not theirs. The workload was three times that of before. The manpower was suddenly seriously insufficient, and many aspects were stretched.
Therefore, the owner of the village, Xu Yuan, came.
Guard captain Zhao Yang, who is twenty-eight years old this year, is a tall man with a height of 1.8 meters, bronze skin, a strong back, a horse on his shoulders, and an amazingly strong physique. He complained in front of Xu Yuan: "Master of the village, Security Police Training Department
The manpower here must be increased. We only have more than 100 people. We have to train every morning, maintain security in the afternoon, patrol in the evening, and take time to read and read. We are simply too busy. If this continues, we will
More than 100 people will be exhausted, and a new group of people will have to be recruited."
I listened to what he said.
Look at the more than 100 muscular men training in the training ground. They all look quite tired.
"I came here this time to discuss with you how many people it would be best to expand the number of people in the village protection team. I want to ask you what you think." Xu Yuandao.
"Of course the better, the better!"
Zhao Yang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "It is far from enough to use more than 300 village guards to protect 11 large manors. 300 village guards for each manor is about the same, that is
He said that it would be more appropriate to recruit another 3,000 people to expand the total number of village protection team members to 3,300."
"No, it's too much, it's too ostentatious!"
Xu Yuan immediately rejected his idea, "If we recruit so many people, they will definitely be slandered and slandered by people, which will arouse the suspicion of the court. We can recruit up to 1,000 more people. It's not enough. What's more, the police training department cannot accommodate thousands of people at the same time. Training
There’s not enough space either.”
"Only to expand enrollment by 1,000 people? The training ground is not enough. We will train them in New Manor..."
Zhao Yang stopped talking in time and could not continue talking. If the new manor also has the authority to train the village guards, what does that mean? Any smart person can imagine the possible consequences.
Recruiting and training new village protection team members can only be done in Xujiazhuang.
"But there are only 1,300 people in total, but they have to protect 11 manors. On average, they can only be allocated to more than 100 people. This number is really not enough."
Zhao Yang still expressed his doubts. It took more than a thousand people to protect more than a dozen places with a population of more than 100,000. No matter how the manpower was arranged, it felt like it was not enough.
"Don't worry, we can equip these more than a thousand people with new weapons to improve their combat effectiveness, so that they can block ten with one, defeat ten thousand with one hundred, and if thousands of people gather together, they will be invincible."
Xu Yuan said.
Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up again.
New weapons? What kind of new weapons?
You must know that the team members who protect the village are now equipped with a sharp, strong, and never rust alloy Yan Ling knife; a recurve compound bow with an effective range of 150 meters and a scope; plus one set for each person.
With the invulnerable stab-proof clothing and the usual nutritional intake of 1 pound of meat, 2 eggs, and 1 pound of milk per person per day, each of them has become a muscular man, and his individual combat effectiveness is very invincible.
Definitely the strongest on this planet!
If it were to be replaced with a more powerful new weapon, how powerful would it have to be?
