In the village chief's home, sitting across from Xie Feng and others was the long-lost village chief Wayezeji.

The village chief put down his cup and said sincerely: "Hatz (the village elder) has already told us what happened before. We also very much agree with your idea, Mr. Xie Feng. As for what happened before..." At this point, the village chief

He sighed slightly and continued: "I won't mention the past anymore."

Xie Feng bowed to the village chief and said: "No matter what, I was the one who felt sorry for your village. This time I help rebuild the village, which can be regarded as my atonement for everyone."

The village chief waved his hand and said: "You are not worthy of atonement. My lord, you are now the captain of the guard of Tichlog Fort, and you are also the officially recognized commander appointed to rebuild the village. As long as you can spare no effort in building, you will still be our leader."

The great benefactor of the village."

Xie Feng said hurriedly: "You're welcome."

The village chief seemed to not want to dwell on the unpleasant past, so he said: "Excuse me, Lord Xie Feng, how do you plan to rebuild the village?"

Xie Feng waved, and Ali immediately stepped forward and spread out a map on the table.

Ali said to the village chief: "This is the map of Wayezeji Village."

The village chief took a look at the map and nodded. He has lived in this village for decades. He can't say that he knows every flower and grass in the village, but he can see what is drawn in the picture with just one glance.

The architectural layout is indeed unmistakable for its own village.

Ali said: "First of all, we plan to build two sentry towers in the south and east of the village. We have already chosen the location. The terrain is quite high and there are no visual obstructions nearby. After the sentry towers are built, the view will be extremely broad. Boss

You can see if there are any enemies from a distance."

The village chief was a little confused and asked: "Only the east and south? What about the west and north?"

Ali smiled and said: "Of course there are Tikhlog Fort monitoring the west and north of the village. I believe that even if a sentry tower is built, we can't see it clearly from the tall castle."

The village chief realized that he had asked an idiotic question, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Well, what next?"

Ali pointed to a small open space in the southeast of the village on the map and said: "We plan to build a simple beacon tower here. The scale does not need to be too big, as long as the beacon lighted can be seen from inside the castle."

Seeing the village chief nod, Ali continued: "There are several families near the open space where the beacon tower is to be built. As long as there is someone in one of them, the beacon can be lit in time when the gong is heard."

"Gong sound?" the village chief asked doubtfully.

Ali nodded and said: "Both watch towers will be equipped with a gong, which can be sounded in case of emergency. And the place we chose to build the beacon tower happens to be able to clearly hear the two watch towers.

Of course, when the beacon is lit, it means that what happens in the village must be solved by the castle's army. So in general, try not to light the beacon - we will put a big gong next to the beacon tower and strike it.

Loud enough for the whole village to hear - used to communicate general emergencies."

The village chief seemed a little confused, and tried to sum it up: "You mean, the beacon can only be lit when it is extremely urgent, and for general emergencies, just ring the gong next to it?"

Xie Feng interjected: "That's right, because in addition to rebuilding the village, we will also help you train some villagers so that they have a certain ability to protect themselves. In this way, in the face of ordinary emergencies, the villagers can protect themselves -

—For example, a small group of bandits want to enter the village and extort money.”

The village chief nodded. It was unrealistic to rely on other forces to protect him. Making his villagers stronger was the key.

Ali continued: "Then, we will also make some military obstacles such as antlers. In case of enemy invasion, they can be arranged immediately to achieve good results. In addition, we plan to modify some houses to allow crossbowmen to

What’s the name of someone who hides inside and shoots at external enemies?”

Xie Feng reminded in a low voice: "Bunker!"

Ali suddenly realized it and said: "Yes, yes, it's called bombing."

Xie Feng stumbled and almost fell off the stool. His face was covered with black lines, and he continued to remind: "It's a bunker!"

Ali frowned and said: "Well... that's what it is anyway." Then he continued: "Of course, the guards are hanging... the crossbowmen in that thing are the villagers themselves." As he spoke, he used a pen.

Outlined on the map are those places that were converted into bunkers and those places where military obstacles were placed.

The village chief nodded while listening, and Ali added: "Finally, if the budget is enough, I also plan to build a few ballistas. If my design does not have too many flaws, it will be very powerful against the enemy on the battlefield!"

The village chief looked up and asked: "Budget? How much is it?"

At this time, Xie Feng answered and said: "Because the workers can be done by the villagers and our soldiers themselves, and the wood and stone can be collected by ourselves. The only things that need money are steel and weapons. As for weapons, Chris

Lord Tina is willing to fund part of it, so I initially decided on a budget of 8,000 dinars.”

After hearing this, the village chief thought for a while and said, "Master Xie Feng, I have a problem."

Xie Feng said: "Please tell me."

The village chief said: "We are very grateful that you paid for us to build so many defense facilities and also planned to train the villagers for us, but there are two problems. First, if the villagers go to train, it will inevitably delay their farm work.

, The labor force in our village itself is not sufficient... Secondly, sir, you have invested so much money, but now the village is no longer on the border, and the chance of large-scale looting is not high. Building this and that

, I’m afraid it will be a bit of a waste. In this way, so much money has been invested, and then because the villagers have to go to training and have no time to farm, it will not bring economic effects... I am afraid that there will be some losses that outweigh the gains..."

The corner of Xie Feng's mouth curled up slightly and he said, "So, when I come here this time, I have something important to discuss with the village chief." The village chief frowned and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Xie Feng closed his eyes slightly, and after organizing the sentences in his mind, he slowly said: "I plan to build a military factory in Wayeseji."

"Military factory?" Everyone present, except Xie Feng and Ali, asked in surprise.

Xie Feng said: "That's right, a military factory. This friend of mine..." After that, he pointed at Ali and continued: "He is an engineer. It's a pity that his talent has always been ignored - this is what he said himself." Hearing this, Ali was fierce.

He glared at Xie Feng. Xie Feng ignored Ali's expression and continued: "So, I want to give him a platform to develop his potential talents. Therefore, I plan to open a military factory in Wayeseji Village to research and develop

, produces various siege and defense equipment, including the ballista just mentioned. In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will also manufacture catapults, ladder trucks and the like."

Seeing that the village chief was confused after hearing these terms, Xie Feng stopped introducing the details and said: "So, I want to build such a factory in the village. The products produced can be sold directly to various lords, and we will also

Recruit workers from the villagers. I think the benefits the factory will bring to you will be much greater than your own farming. In addition, we will consider recruiting villagers who are well-trained as soldiers."

After saying that, Xie Feng quietly waited for the village chief's response. As a person who has been working as a farmer for half his life, it is not easy to change his mind and let him switch to industry. Therefore, for the success or failure of this matter, Xie Feng

Feng didn't have a clue in his mind. Xie Feng also considered that it would be a bit unrealistic to simply invest money to build so many defense facilities. But it would be different if a military factory was built in the village. Even if hundreds of tanks and cannons were placed in the village

None of it is wasted - it is merchandise anyway, ready to be sold.

As expected, after listening to Xie Feng's words, the village chief's brows almost knitted together, and after a long time he said: "This... I want to discuss this with everyone."

Xie Feng looked up and looked out the window. It was getting late, so he took out a pre-made factory plan from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "Then the village chief is here, this is a plan about the factory.

, I hope everyone can consider - OK, it's getting late, we won't disturb you anymore, goodbye to the village chief, and we will talk about rebuilding the village in detail tomorrow." The plan was written very poorly, and there was no systematic writing pattern.

Just write down the nature and plan of the factory, as well as the benefits it can bring to the village - Xie Feng has never written these things before, but I believe it will not be a problem to fool the villagers who are not highly educated.

After walking out of the village chief's house, Fernand approached Xie Feng and asked, "Captain, do you really plan to build a military factory here?"

Xie Feng nodded seriously and said: "Wars in the future will gradually develop towards mechanization. The era of hand-to-hand combat between people will soon pass. If we can achieve mechanization of war first, it will be quite beneficial to us."

Fernand added: "But the problem of raw materials... wood can be solved on the spot, but the Kingdom of Nord does not produce iron ore. Now the Kingdom of Nord is at war with two surrounding countries at the same time, so we can't send people there.

Purchase enough pig iron. If you want to buy pig iron, you can only buy it at a high price from traveling merchants in other countries..."

Xie Feng said: "I have also thought about this question... Do you know where iron is produced?"

Fernand said: "The nearest place is Korau - but the Kingdom of Nord is at war with the Kingdom of Vigia, and yesterday they just captured the Ismorola Castle of the Kingdom of Vigia."

Xie Feng thought for a while and said: "Leave the pig iron matter to me, you don't have to worry about it." Now with Xie Feng's ability, he has a large mobile warehouse like the inventory, plus Liu Yan, a thousand-mile horse, if he wants to run

Isn't it easy to do business? One person is enough. At the same time, Xie Feng is also thinking about whether he should also go into business? This way, he can make money quickly and safely. But unfortunately, Xie Feng used to play

He has never run a business before during the game, so he doesn’t know where to buy or sell. If he were to run a business now, he would probably lose money to death.

Suddenly remembering something, Xie Feng asked: "By the way, look at the village chief's attitude and face, do you think this can be done?"

Fernand frowned and said, "It's hard to tell. From the look in his eyes, it seems that he has difficulty accepting the plan to build a factory, but he seems to be somewhat interested. At the same time, he seems to be worried about something."

Xie Feng asked: "Are you sure you can convince them?"

Fernand shook his head and said, "My eyes are good, but my mouth is not as good as yours."

Xie Feng's face was full of black lines, and he asked ferociously: "What does 'I can't do it yet' mean?"

Fernand also realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he was very adaptable and immediately said: "Look, let me just say that I am not good at speaking. I will offend you when I speak."

Back at the castle, Judy has already started cooking in the kitchen. It must be said that Judy is very active. She cleaned everyone's room in one afternoon, and now she has just finished the cleaning work and started cooking again.

In sharp contrast, Sera was idly tapping on the wall in the castle. Xie Feng stepped forward depressedly and asked, "What are you doing? Want to test the hardness of your hands with the wall?"

Sera rolled her eyes at Xie Feng and said, "I'm not as boring as you. I'm just trying to see if there are any dark rooms, secret passages, etc. in this castle." After saying that, she no longer cared about Xie Feng and continued.

The man was tapping against the stone wall again.

Xie Feng has a dark look on his face, who is boring?

After dinner, Xie Feng practiced some sword and kick skills on the playground. It was not until bedtime that he lay down on the big bed in the master room of the castle. This bed was so damn comfortable and spacious.

This is the first time I slept in such a comfortable room. Xie Feng kept thinking, I have the soldiers, I have the land, and I have the money. Well, all I need is a woman. Looking at the one on her body, it is almost two meters wide.

It's a waste to sleep alone on a bed. But after all, Xie Feng was just thinking about it. He might be able to return to the original world sometime, but he didn't want to owe a love debt in this world.
