Chapter 191 Memorial

There are more than 1,700 craftsmen in the two valleys of Fangcheng Mountain. These more than 1,700 people have all been on the list after Ying Yi conquered Kaifeng.

Among the 30,000 people currently on the list, the army accounts for 27,000. The civil servants are actually the smallest, with only more than 1,200 people. The rest are craftsmen.

The significance of craftsmen is very important to Ying Yi. In the future, the manufacture of Yuanqi cannot be separated from them.

The way of humanity is to put people first. Civilization and knowledge both rely on people for their existence. Yuanqi is wonderful, but it also needs people to make it.

Of course, there are many prerequisites for manufacturing Yuanqi, Yuanfu is one, and the manufacturing plan is the second. But it all relies on craftsmen, and talent is the foundation.

The current craftsmen are not yet qualified to make Yuan weapons. They do not yet understand the secrets of Yuan talismans and how to combine Yuan talismans to formulate plans, but Ying Yi will slowly guide them.

The Yuan Qi Plan is a vast system that cannot be accomplished by one person. He doesn't have that much energy to take care of both. Corresponding talents must be cultivated, and craftsmen are Ying Yi's first choice for cultivating talents.

The first means of cultivation is the true spiritual feedback of humane achievements.

As long as the physical strength and soul strength reach the corresponding level, it should not be difficult to get started with Yu Yuanfu.

No more gossip.

The first thing Ying Yi did when he came back this time was not a national event. But for Ying Yi, it is a very important thing to settle the grudges.

Bringing Li Chuang's head was not for any special hobby, but as a sacrifice, together with Li Guo, to pay homage to the villagers who suffered in Xiaowangzhuang, Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang, Xiaoya, and those whose voices and smiles still appear in his mind from time to time. The father in front of Ying Yi.

After hearing the details of Bibo Valley from Er Niu, Ying Yi didn't say much and just said: "Take me to see Li Guo."

Erniu was startled, his happy face darkened, and he nodded: "Brother Ying, come with me."

In a cold, damp, dark cellar, more than a month later, Ying Yi met Li Guo again.

The thief was high-spirited at first, but now he looks like a consumptive man on the verge of death. His hair covered his face, yellow and white, and his whole body seemed to be rotten, huddled in the corner.

Ying Yi knew very well that Li Guo's life here would definitely be difficult. But he was originally placed here just to let Er Niu and the others vent their resentment.

Get what you deserve.

The folks in Xiaowangzhuang have never offended anyone.

"Li Guo."

Ying Yi stood down like a giant, blocking all the light at the cellar door.

Li Guo moved slightly, his eyes hidden under his dry hair fell on Ying Yi with a dull look.

Ying Yi opened the wooden box and threw a human head on the ground: "Look who it is."

Li Guo looked slowly and suddenly burst into tears, shrinking into a ball while crying.

"Kill...kill me."

Li Guo grabbed the ground with his head and held Li Chuang's head in his arms.

Ying Yi waved his hand: "Take it away."

...

Xiaowangzhuang.

According to Ying Yi's original advice, military uniform weaving was moved from Crescent Valley to Xiaowangzhuang. Now, a distribution center for items has formed outside Xiaowangzhuang.

Materials and raw materials transported from the outside world to the mountains will rest here, and goods transported from the mountains will also stop here.

In addition to using rattan to weave military uniforms, weaving workshops also gradually involved civilian use, producing some fabrics for sale. Coupled with the gradual opening up of the supply of refined salt, some businessmen sensed business opportunities and either set up warehouses or opened taverns, which gradually became prosperous.

However, the original place of Xiaowangzhuang is still quiet.

Everyone knows where this place is and what happened.

There are two graves at the entrance of the village, one big and one small. The big one is for the elders of the village who were killed, and the smaller one is for Brother Zhang's family of three.

Ying Yi never forgot. When the Zhang family's sister-in-law committed suicide, she was buried on the spot. When Ying Yi gained power, he sent people to move it back and bury the three members of their family together.

There are steles and inscriptions erected, and the tombs are made of stones, which are ancient and heavy. Planting pines and cypresses will make them evergreen all year round.

There was a short scream, blood stains fell on the grave, and Li Guo's head fell to the ground. Ying Yi picked up Li Guo's head, placed Li Chuang's head on top, lit a stick of incense, and just watched silently.

After a long time, he bowed and bowed.

In an instant, the last worry in my heart finally came to an end.

"Let's go."

He took a breath, turned around and left.

Er Niu and Fourth Sister-in-law were silent, and master and disciple Li Zhenren were also speechless.

After a few months, it seemed like a long time when I looked back, and I felt sad and speechless.

After walking out of the grove, a small town-like distribution center was right in front of him, but Ying Yi did not go in. Ying Yi has already planned the development direction of this place, and will gradually build it in the future as a front station for the two valleys of Fangcheng Mountain. It seems a bit prosperous now, but in fact it is far from reaching the standards in Ying Yi's mind.

Ying Yi walked slowly along the gravel road where five carriages could run parallel.

Suddenly he spoke: "Looking back at the beginning, it's really a bit sad. Maybe you don't know that I didn't have any ambitions at first, but I mostly lived in peace and quiet. The world is hard, and I would have starved to death in the wilderness, but it was Brother Zhang who saved me. So here I am. I settled in Xiaowangzhuang and spent my days hunting or helping the villagers do whatever I could to repay the kindness of taking them in."

He seemed to be talking to himself: "That day I went into the mountains, dozens of miles deep, and did not come back all night. When I came back the next day, I saw the tragic news, and I almost went crazy with lust. The whole village, old and young, were dying with their eyes open. Thanks to the scholar who saved his life, I realized that it was the evil deeds of thieves. It was that Li Guo!"

"This beast is worse than a pig or a dog."

"How kind of a person is my brother Zhang? How kind of people are the folks in Xiaowangzhuang? My niece Xiaoya is only in her teens! How can she do such a heinous thing if she is not a beast?"

"I followed the scholar and him all night until we reached the intersection. I asked the scholar to go to the county seat of Ye County. I chased him dozens of miles south of Ye County before I picked up the thief Li Guo. It was a pity that I couldn't kill him at that time. This beast The animal has kidnapped some village women. I want to save them, but there is nothing I can do. Otherwise, I would have sneaked in and cut off his head!"

"After I quietly rescued him, I went back to kill him, but he still escaped. I pity my fellow villagers, but my sister-in-law of the Zhang family committed suicide because of her shamelessness. So I wanted to go north, and I wanted to kill him no matter what. , can you eliminate the hatred in your heart."

"It was in Ye County that by chance, we gradually reached this point."

"Life is unpredictable, it's really...haha..."

When Master Li heard Ying Yi's words, he couldn't help but reveal a look of sadness on his face, and said: "The fate may be coincidental, but it is also inevitable. When you say you are contented with it, it doesn't mean that you don't have courage and ambition, it's just that you hide it in the depths. The so-called golden scales are not ponds. The thing in the middle turns into a dragon when it encounters the wind and clouds. This is a true saying. The world is in chaos, dragons and snakes rise together. If you have the appearance of a real dragon, how can you drown the dust? Even if there is no thief like Li Guo, according to Pindao's opinion, Sooner or later, adults will take advantage of the situation."

When Ying Yi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
