Chapter 35 Pig Farm Crossing Base

During the time that Yan Xu was away, the foot soldiers and the farmers had already cleaned the pig farm thoroughly and were currently repairing the dilapidated areas. Their craftsmanship was OK and at least it looked presentable.

Yan Xu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never used the system's building manufacturing function yet.

It’s not that he forgot, but this function is a bit useless.

Instant construction requires gold. How extravagant must he be to choose this function?

Ordinary construction requires manpower, and farmers can only build low-level buildings. Only civilians can build better buildings, and high-level buildings require professional craftsmen.

But in Japan, Yan Xu had no need for this at all. Farmers would build their own thatched huts to live in, foot soldiers always lived in tents, and he even lived in the old house of the Yamada family.

This is mainly because Yan Xu himself is not sure whether he will stay there forever, which would take time and energy to build the building.

Now, perhaps it's time to let them play a role.

Yan Xu didn't want to build Japanese-style buildings here, but planned to let them build roads.

Although the pig farm only has this road that passes through Goujiazhuang, it has two gates. This is because Yan's father considered that it would be unpleasant to have the trucks carrying pigs and feed passing through the village all day long, and was afraid that the people in the village would have objections and do something bad to you secretly, so he built a back door and planned to build a small road specifically for the trucks carrying pigs and feed.

Yan Xu's requirements were not high. He just wanted to simply build a dirt road that could be used for traffic when it was not raining. This would also help explain the inexplicable appearance of things in the pig farm. After all, it was not easy to conceal if everything went through the roads in the village, and the old men and women in the village were not easy to fool.

After making a plan, Yan Xu looked at the huge pig farm in front of him. Now he had the manpower to raise pigs, cheap feed from the feed factory, and he could reopen the pig farm by buying some piglets.

Although it is a bit late to raise pigs this month, Yan Xu doesn't care.

He has a feed mill that provides cheap feed, as well as free labor and a ready-made pig farm, so a slight increase in feeding costs is nothing.

The only problem was that he was running out of money. If he spent all his money on buying the piglets, he would not be able to pay a penny if any emergency occurred.

There was no way. Yan Xu had spent a lot of money recently, especially after buying the feed factory and stockpiling a batch of coarse grains. These had consumed a lot of his cash. What's more, he had to take a batch of supplies with him when he traveled through time at the end of the month, which put him under a lot of pressure.

Things don't fall from the sky. Even if you take them from your own property, you have to spend money to settle the bill. Otherwise, the upper and lower levels will follow suit and there will be chaos. At most, you can calculate it as the cost price, so it's normal that he has no money.

There is money in the accounts of the hardware factory and the supermarket, but Yan Xu will not use it easily, because these two places are his foundation, and he must ensure that they are foolproof, otherwise he will have to give up the title of the richest man in Goujiazhuang to others, and the local area will no longer give him preferential policies, so exchanging the gold he brought back for money is his only option besides mortgage loan.

Although I had considered this issue before coming here, it still gives me a headache when I think about it now.

Yan Xu had a total of sixty taels of gold on hand, which was not a small amount after removing the impurities. It would be almost two hundred thousand yuan in cash, enough to buy an apartment, but where to exchange it was a problem.

Although gold is a hard currency and can be exchanged for money by individuals, gold shops, and banks, Yan Xu doesn't know any individual who can consume so much gold in one go. After all, he was just a college student who had not yet graduated, and his father passed away suddenly, so he had no connections at all.

As for asking the Gou brothers to introduce him, Yan Xu trusted them, but he would not test their bottom line, because exchanging gold could not be done only once, and if it was done too many times, he would inevitably have doubts. As for the gold shop, there were not many gold shops in the local area that could take up so much gold in one go. In fact, there were only a few gold shops nearby, so he had to go to the city, but he had no connections or background there, so if something unexpected happened, he would not be surprised at all.

The bank is much better. As the richest man in the area, he has some family background that can explain it. Even if the news leaks out, at most people will talk about how much wealth his father left him, how he squandered the family fortune, and now he's living off his savings, but no one will doubt the origin of the gold.

If it were an ordinary family in the village, believe it or not, someone would come to their door with a banner and 500 yuan, because there is no other way to get so much gold except by digging it out.

Unfortunately, he is only the richest man in Goujiazhuang, not the richest man in the world. There is no problem in taking out dozens of taels of gold, but if he takes out hundreds or thousands of taels, it would be a pure insult to other people's IQ.

Yan Xu eventually exchanged gold at the town’s bank, then used the money to buy piglets and reopened the pig farm.

The pig farm was reopened, but Yan Xu did not hold a grand celebration, nor did he set off firecrackers or dance the lion or anything like that. He just transported a hundred lively piglets and a lot of feed from the back door of the pig farm, and let the farmers who did not need to be paid take care of them, and that was all.

Yan Xu had to keep a low profile as much as possible. After all, the pig farm was his transit station and base for traveling through time. If he attracted a lot of attention all day long, there was no point in him hiding anything.

It’s better now. Because the place is remote and the smell is bad, no one comes here on weekdays. Then we can raise two wolfhounds, and it will be safer.

With money in hand, Yan Xu started to get busy without stopping. In addition to ordering a batch of old grain, he also went to the bamboo mat seller to buy new bamboo mats. His various requests stunned the other party.

However, it is the beginning of autumn harvest, and naturally there is no market for cool mats. I have never seen anyone selling cool mats in autumn and winter. So when such a big order came to their door, the family was so happy that they couldn't wait to push it away. It's just that the conditions are a bit weird, but it doesn't matter. As long as the money is in place, not to mention the armor, even the pants will be made of bamboo silk, guaranteed to be without even a single barb, so you can enjoy the silky smoothness.

As for why Yan Xu bought bamboo armor instead of leather armor or iron armor, it was mainly because it has the best cost-effectiveness.

The improvement of armor on combat effectiveness is not a small matter. In ancient times, people could turn a blind eye to the private possession of weapons, but the possession of armor was not allowed and was directly linked to treason.

This is because if you don’t wear armor, you will bleed if you get stabbed, and any hero will have to kneel down if you get stabbed.

It’s different if you have a good suit of armor. You have more opportunities to make mistakes and it’s okay to be shot like a hedgehog.

It was with this in mind that Yan Xu specially prepared a batch of armor before traveling through time.

As for the reason for choosing bamboo armor, in addition to the cost-effectiveness, the main reason was that he had no other choice.

Where can you buy armor these days, especially in bulk? Even if there is armor, the price is too high for him to afford. It is not as cheap as the one made from bamboo mats.

Fortunately, apart from being made from a cool mat, the bamboo armor is quite effective in other aspects. It has a strong defensive ability against arrows and hacking, but it is easy to be injured when being stabbed by swords or spears because of the gaps between the bamboo armor.

But it's cheap, that's enough, not to mention it's autumn and there's a discount, which makes Yan Xu even more satisfied.
