Chapter 545 The Li Family Comes Again (1)
The publicity was a complete success, and Hu Tian and others arrived in the city smoothly. Old Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and he valued Ji Xiaou even more in his heart.
Bai Yichen found a nice place for them in the city, which was across the street from the Bai family. Old Hu and others were very satisfied with the huge playground in the yard. What they valued was not the living conditions, but whether there was a place in the yard to practice martial arts.
The women, on the other hand, care more about whether life is convenient. Men who practice martial arts have big appetites, so they have to cook a lot of food for one meal. However, food is in short supply now, and they haven't had a full meal for a long time.
The amount of food consumed by a thousand mouths every day is no joke, let alone a martial artist whose appetite is three or four times bigger than that of an ordinary person.
Even for the Bai family, it would be a headache to support these people.
After arranging the accommodation, the next thing to worry about was food. The Hu family brought a lot of food, but it could only support the family for up to one month.
Mr. Hu had already discussed with Mrs. Ji that they could eat the food they brought first, and a month later would be the harvest season for another batch of potatoes, so they could continue their supply.
Food and accommodation have been arranged, and without the oppression of the eldest prince, there is a source of food supply, so the Hu family can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The spies sent by the eldest prince left after finding no trace of the Hu family in the city. After investigation, they chose to believe that the Hu family had defected to the fourth prince.
Quan Wan had no idea that the Hu family had already escaped and was now in another inconspicuous city.
Without the spies' pursuit, the Hu family joined the Bai family's team on the second day after arriving in the city and dug traps together outside the city.
Fang Chen looked at the trap that was almost completed, calculating the chance of winning after the battle. According to the news just sent by Bai Yichen, the Fourth Prince's 100,000 troops had been discovered by the First Prince, and the First Prince and the Prime Minister had begun to question the Fourth Prince. The First Prince was even more certain that the Hu family had defected to the Fourth Prince, and therefore regarded the Fourth Prince as a priority target for elimination.
Now that the trap has been set, there are still many things missing. Manpower is secondary, and weapons are more important...
But these still need long-term consideration.
Fang Chen was busy with the traps outside the city every day, while Ji Xiaomu was busy with the village construction of Wu Yidao and others. She first took the yamen runners to measure and plan the land for them, and then took Wang Qiang's men to the suburbs to teach Wu Yidao and others how to build houses, so that they could all participate and gradually become proficient.
When Ji Xiaou brought her master to look for Wu Yidao, Wu Yidao was leading his men to cut down trees. In a short period of time, they had cleared out the planned area. Fearing that there would not be enough wood for building the house, they hurried to cut down trees and store the wood.
The group of people were full of energy and were even more respectful when they saw Ji Xiaou, for fear of offending her. Every time Ji Xiaou went to the village, Liu Xiaohua followed her the whole time. Just as Wu Yidao worried, some old women wanted to give Ji Xiaou advice by relying on their old age, but before they could finish their words, they were scolded by Liu Xiaohua without any courtesy.
Seeing that they had adapted to the stability, Ji Xiaomu decided not to disturb them anymore. She brought them enough food and gave it to Wu Yidao to distribute. She left the rest to them to decide for themselves.
"Wu Yidao, you have done a great job and managed the area very well! In the days ahead, you will have to work hard to make a living. I have placed seeds and food here for you. You will be the head of your village in the future. You must encourage them and don't let them cause any trouble."
