Skynet In Another World

Chapter 016 The dilemma of mountain fort

The principle of powerhouse is respected has always been implemented by the band of bandits within the body. Whoever has the big fist, whoever is Boss, these ordinary bandits are weak in physique, so their status in the mountain fort is also the lowest.

Above the most common bandits, there are some people who are in the middle of the mountain fort and belong to the technical trade. These people are the 50 or so blacksmiths that Xiao Clan raises in the mountain fort. worker.

Hong Ji was surprised. She never expected that there would be so many blacksmiths in such an ordinary mountain fort.

"This is simply no effort! With these basic blacksmith workers, I am confident that a steam engine can be manufactured within a month, and the mountain fort will enter the steam age!"

Hong Ji stared scorchingly at the crude smelting and iron-making tools accumulated in the mountain fort warehouse. Not only did he not have the slightest dislike in his heart, but he was extremely excited.

Teng Yuan, who was in charge of the introduction, pointed to the idle iron tools in the mountain fort warehouse and the neatly displayed handful of finished sharp blades on the weapon rack.

"The tools for smelting and iron making were provided by Xiao Clan. The purpose was to quietly forge weapons and armors for Xiao Clan. Because of the laws of the vassal states, the Aristocratic Family family members kept private soldiers in captivity. There are restrictions. Weapons and armor have strict upper limits. The purpose is to ensure that the military power of the Royal Family of the princes will always have an absolute advantage."

Hong Ji introduced after taking over the mountain fort. When I came from, I claimed to be from a certain unborn Sect of Hidden World. Because Sect has been cut off from the outside world for a long time, there is a lot of current common sense information that I don’t know.

Teng Yuan explained this to Hong Ji in such detail at this time based on such considerations. Of course, Sect of Hidden World and so on are all fabricated by Hong Ji. In fact, Hong Ji has already acquired everything you want to know from Teng Yuan's brain memory. The reason why I am still patiently listening to Teng Yuan's explanation is just a cutscene.

Hong Ji's attention was obviously not focused on Teng Yuan's words, but he was still gently nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Teng Yuan received positive feedback from Hong Ji, and he was quite excited at the moment. You know, from Hong Ji's point of view, introducing the internal affairs of the mountain fort to Hong Ji at this time is a great opportunity to please Hong Ji.

Teng Yuan is not only talented, but also has great ambitions and ambitions in his heart. He used to rely on the arrogance and pursuit in his heart to achieve the position of the leader of the bandit all the way from the ordinary bandit, although it was only the last boss.

At this time, Teng Yuan has only one thought in his mind, and he is working hard to perform well in front of Hong Ji. If he can be valued by Hong Ji and pass his martial arts of a half move, then he will be so prosperous.

If you are lucky enough to visit the Sect of Hidden World behind Hong Ji, it will be ascending to the skies with a single leap. The development of the civilian Teng Yuan in this era has been restricted and discriminated too much. Without fortuitous encounters, Teng Yuan would have been impossible to surpass the civilians in his life.

Aristocratic Family is impossible to reuse Teng Yuan from the commoner background. In this era, the class threshold is extremely strict. The upper class is impossible to allow the lower class to share their interests.

Xiao Clan can't give it to Teng Yuan, but a warrior from Sect of Hidden World like Hong Ji can give it to him. It is precisely because of this that Teng Yuan spared no effort after turning to Hong Ji's camp.

Teng Yuan is betting, he bet his future on Hong Ji.

"However, although each vassal state has clear laws restricting the number of private soldiers of each Aristocratic Family family, the Aristocratic Family family members can always think of alternative methods, such as raising bandits as soldiers, in the mountains We build and stock up armors in the strongholds. Once things change, these Aristocratic Family gatekeepers will be able to arm a strong armored army in a short time."

Hong Ji turned on the metal detector. It was found that nearly 1,008 weapons and 508 armors were piled up in the warehouse. From the analysis of the metal oxide layer on the surface of the armor of these weapons, the creation of the armor of these weapons has spanned at least a few years.

"Really deliberate..."

Hong Ji couldn't help but sigh for the patience of these Aristocratic family members. Within the princes countries where iron ore is strictly controlled, it took several years to save these possessions by means of smuggling, smuggling, and misrepresentation of losses. And now everything here is cheaper for her.

……

The inspection of the weapon arsenal was ended, and Teng Yuan finally took Hong Ji to inspect the accounts in the mountain fort.

For all the previous, Hong Ji is generally satisfied. The material foundation of the mountain fort is good, especially the more than 50 blacksmiths and the tools for smelting and ironing are enough to support the mountain fort from feudalism within a month. Ancient civilization progress, enter the steam civilization progress.

However, the good situation seems to come to an abrupt end at the mountain fort's internal affairs accounts.

Hong Ji held Teng Yuan's complicated and long accounts recorded in the ancient writings of this era. It took nearly half a minute to turn a thick account from beginning to end.

The intelligent core with super computing power can easily find the problem of the accounts in the mountain fort.

"From these accounts, the amount of money looted by mountain fort in the past six months is huge, but this income, expenditure and balance obviously don't match...Teng Yuan, explain it."

p>

Hong Ji's eyes are not at all leaving the ledger. She is reading the ledger casually while asking Teng Yuan questions in a cold voice.

"Yes~~Yes!" Hearing Hong Ji's question, Teng Yuan's voice clearly trembled. Obviously, he didn't expect Hong Ji to see the problem so quickly.

Slightly sorted out my mind and raised up the language secretly, Teng Yuan immediately explained the reason.

It turns out that this mountain fort was secretly raised by Xiao Clan. Most of the property looted by the mountain fort will be confiscated by Xiao Clan. Xiao Clan's influence naturally does not value the money. The reason for this It is also done to strengthen the control of mountain fort.

Also in order to strengthen the control of the mountain fort, Xiao Clan will send people to transport the property looted by the mountain fort back to Xiao Clan every once in a while, and at the same time bring back the mountain fort when it comes back. It is necessary for everyone to survive. Food, salt, medicine and other materials.

Just before Hong Ji entered the mountain fort, Chu Huang’s wife, Xiao Ruyi, had returned to Xiao Clan with the money looted by the mountain fort in the past six months. According to the plan, when Xiao Clan returned from Xiao Clan, Xiao Ruyi would bring enough food for half a year of the mountain fort to supplement the food that has been exhausted inside the mountain fort.

But now Hong Ji has killed Xiao Rulie and stole the control of mountain fort, which is tantamount to seizing food from the tiger's mouth.

The survival of mountain fort depends on Xiao Clan's supplies. Now the entire mountain fort memory is only enough for half a month. It can be said that the situation in mountain fort was learned by Xiao Clan, and Xiao Clan wants to solve it. They don’t even need to spend a single soldier on the mountain fort, they just need to cut off the food supply of the mountain fort. After half a month, most people in the mountain fort had to starve to death.

In the Northern Domain, which has been fighting for years, food is extremely precious. Except for the Aristocratic family like Xiao Clan, ordinary persons want to get a lot of food basically impossible.

When it rains, it pours, at this moment someone suddenly came to Chu Huang's side very quietly, lying in his ear and whispering something.

And Chu Huang, who was originally self-explanatory, changed his face suddenly after hearing this person's report.

I saw him hurriedly took a step forward and moved towards Hong Ji with a heavy face and said, "Boss, just got the news that two of them released the two homing pigeons in the mountain fort without permission. Xiao Clan’s nails inserted in the mountain fort are reporting to Xiao Clan!"

"Hiss!"

All the thieves on the scene heard Chu Huang’s words at the moment they were sucked in a breath of cold air, all in my heart are secretly thought: something bad!
