Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Xie Xian was holding two property deeds in her hands, which were stamped with the seal of Tongguan. As expected, they belonged to two fur stores.

Xie Xian has gotten used to it. Wherever the Blackstone Guards go, there is always a fur shop. The most frequent activity in Copper Pass is large-scale livestock trading, and the profits from the fur shop are obvious.

The street location on the title deed was good, and the floor space was much larger than the narrow shop of 15 or 16 square meters on East Street.

"Uncle, our shop is quite big." Xie Xian touched her nose, unable to find anything to praise.

Xie Yun glanced at him and said unhappily, "Take the things and leave quickly."

Xie Xian felt disappointed, so she put the deed into her pocket, laughed a few times, and went out.

"Ah! Are all the guys blaming me, this useless old guy?" Xie Yun sighed quietly.

"My Lord. This is the fate of the Blackstone Guard. Your Majesty suppresses warriors. If it weren't for the fact that we need to guard the Bronze Pass, the Blackstone Guard would have ceased to exist long ago."

Old Man Suo quickly brewed a cup of hot tea and placed it next to Xie Yun.

He and Xie Yun both knew very well that the fate of the Black Stone Guards in Tongguan would be either death in battle or being divided up by other families.

After Liu Yu and his companions came back, they reported that many noble families had promised them many benefits.

Hereditary military families such as Liu Yu's are still relatively popular in the eyes of other aristocratic families, but now that His Majesty is on high alert, they dare not blatantly recruit soldiers.

But there were indeed a lot of small actions in secret, and the gradually weakening Black Stone Guards of the Xie family became fat meat in their eyes, and everyone wanted to take a bite.

Now that Xie Xian has taken over as the head of the Xie family's Xingjun, Black Stone Guard has become a popular place in the surrounding villages and towns.

The Blackrock Guards who returned from rotation were given meat every three days and new clothes and equipment, which was euphemistically called labor security.

This suppressed the restless hearts of the noble families. What a joke! How could those crude peasants deserve to eat meat? If they were given a meal, they should charge into battle for their masters and die for them.

Some of the uneasy people among the Black Stone Guards were also calmed down.

Lao Suotou saw that Xie Yun was daydreaming and didn't know what he was thinking about.

He chuckled and said, "Mr. Weng, I heard that many of the boys in Wei have gotten married recently. I think there will be many more babies next year."

He had a kind look on his face, and everyone in the Black Stone Guard was happy to see this happen.

Xie Yun said: "Good! Good! It is a great achievement for you brothers to leave descendants."

The Black Stone Guards serving today are basically orphans left behind by the old men who followed Xie Yun in the battles. Since their parents are no longer around, they have relied on the support of the second branch of the Xie family to grow up.

Many hereditary military families, some of whom could not bear it, left, and those who remained were the diehard fans of the Xie family.

Now seeing that they are living better and better, Xie Yun is very pleased. The Black Stone Guard can make progress because of Xie Xian.

Therefore, Xie Yun always responded to Xie Xian's various requests.

The old lock said, "Lord Weng, why don't you send a message to Tongguan so that they can prepare. It looks like the lady is going to make a big move."

Xie Yun nodded. The last batch of frozen fish had been sent to Tongguan a few days ago. He wondered what was happening to these little guys.

A month ago, Xie Xian only equipped the existing 3000 people in the Shenji Battalion and the 2000 people who were left behind with the armor produced by the textile factory.

As for clothes, shoes and hats, Xie Xian did not have abundant materials on hand and had originally planned to send a batch over. However, she was not sure whether there were any uniform requirements for the soldiers' clothing.

So we didn't send it out, but only sent a few trucks of frozen fish and rice, and brought them the method of growing bean sprouts, just hoping to give the brothers over there some extra food.

Last year, 3000 people returned to the team, accounting for only 1/5 of the total number of Blackstone Guards.

There are still many Black Stone Guards scattered throughout the Copper Pass. With Xie Xian's current strength, she cannot take care of every one of them, so she can only take it slow.

"The 5000 cotton-padded clothes we sent have been distributed to the kids. It's just that they want to come back more." Xie Yun laughed. Of course, who doesn't want to have enough food and warm clothes?

He was so miserable guarding the frontier, but when his brothers came back, they all ate fish and meat, wore new clothes, and even got married. The contrast is too obvious.

"When will the next batch of guard changes be?" Xie Yun asked, "Contact them and try to have as many people as possible this time." Old Suotou understood that his father-in-law no longer had much patience with Yang Mao, the governor of Tongguan.

He looked out the window at the gloomy sky and thought to himself, “What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.”

Xie Xian has been arranging matters at the chicken farm these past two days. The chicks are different every day. Now everyone's favorite place to go is the textile factory. Many people have never seen so many chickens in their lives.

"The chickens are growing so fast. The six pens in the woods over at Taozhuang are all full, but it looks like they're still incubating in the greenhouse." A female worker asked in a low voice.

"What do you know? There are thousands of eggs in the warehouse. I guess they all need to be hatched!"

Hearing this, the female workers were a little confused: "Isn't there no place?"

The purchase of eggs has stopped. According to Xie Xian, since we are raising chickens, we can’t just sit around doing nothing!

Her three thousand chickens will not be able to withstand such eating when they mature, so she still has to rely on everyone to raise them together.

Liu knew Xie Xian's plan, but she kept everyone on suspense.

"Who said there is no place? There is plenty of space to raise chickens!" Liu's face was rosy. Because she had been eating meat frequently in the past two months, her body became stronger.

He had a loud voice to begin with, and now it was even louder. "Everyone, pay attention. The lady said these chickens are for sale. Anyone who wants to raise them can come and register."

Everyone was immediately excited. "I want ten," the quick-witted people shouted.

Liu's eyebrows raised: "Don't have those evil thoughts. This batch of chickens are 20 cents each, and the female worker welfare price is only 10 cents, but each person can only buy five."

There are not many. An adult chicken costs about sixty to seventy cents in the market. This is the price in the south where every household has chickens. If you go to the barren north, the price of the chicken may sometimes go up to eighty or ninety cents.

They also have to be weighed, as chicks are very rare in the market, and wealthy families who can afford to raise chickens mostly keep them for themselves.

The basic price of an egg is two cents. The price of a chick in the market is 25 cents, and the highest price can be 30 cents.

"Wow! They're so cheap, I have to buy a few more," some smart people have already started calculating how much they can sell the chicken for.

But Liu said: "Each person is only entitled to five chickens. Once this batch of chickens is distributed, the next batch will be taken to the county to be sold. If you have relatives or friends who also want some, you can place an order earlier. The factory price is 20 cents per chicken."

This is fixed, and transactions can only be made using Xie's Iron Coins.
