"So what if there are five thousand Black Tortoise Armors escorting us?"

"Once he arrives in Tianyong City, he has no say in what he does."

The two people who had just entered smiled at each other, bowed and said, "In that case, I will trouble you, old general."

"If this succeeds, then the old general will be a hero of our Tiandihui. No matter when, he will definitely be a figure who enjoys incense in the elder hall of our Tiandihui."

Linghu Zheng waved his hand: "Alright, no need to say more about these empty words."

"Is your staffing arrangement almost done?"

"Old General, we have already made all the necessary arrangements."

"You missed a spot. We have to deploy manpower at Xinhedu. Liu Feng is too powerful. We have to be on guard."

The two men looked at each other with suspicion, not understanding what Linghu was trying to say by squeezing the old man's throat.

"Old General, Liu Feng is your son-in-law."

Linghu Zheng suddenly revealed a ruthless look.

"He is my son-in-law, yes, but he is too opinionated and not completely under my control."

"Just go and make the arrangements. Leave a hidden chess piece with him. It might be very useful at a critical moment."

As soon as he returned to the village, Liu Feng entered a state of seclusion.

This retreat was unusual. He was not busy shuttling between his wives, nor was he busy releasing his power on his wives. Instead, he was hiding away to study the loom he had seen in the new era.

After seven or eight days of hard work, Liu Feng finally made the first loom. Although it did not reach the terrifying number of 120 pieces, he finally made one with 48 pieces.

Liu Feng was still worried, so he asked someone to get the raw materials and personally debugged the machine, and the results were very good.

At present, Liu Feng has no plans to increase the number of reeds on the loom to one hundred and twenty. The current forty-eight reeds are already very large. If it is increased to one hundred and twenty, the difficulty coefficient will increase exponentially, and the size of the loom will also become larger and larger.

After it is completed, it will probably be as big as a room, large enough for many people to stand on.

Even if I want to make one for Chen Lingyun, I can only make the parts here and send them to Xiuyuan Pavilion for assembly. Otherwise, it will be so big after it is made that transportation will be a problem.

So Liu Feng is not planning to continue at the moment. After being busy for so long, it’s time to take a break.

According to the news brought by Lin Xiaoxi recently, the construction of the entire Xinhedu has reached a new level, and the construction of the commercial street has been basically completed.

In accordance with Liu Feng's request, Wu Jiang took the people from the water fort to work in the water in the middle of winter. After a period of dredging, the depth of the dock was completely sufficient, even deeper than Liu Feng had originally requested.

In order to make the pier durable and reduce the number of dredging and repairs, the pier was rebuilt with stones and directly turned into a stone pier.

Now the weather has completely warmed up. In a few days, the water in the Xinqiang River will completely thaw. At that time, merchant ships from the south will definitely dare to come.

After all, the north needs spring plowing after the spring begins, and the south can transport all kinds of necessary things to the farmers in the north, and they are good quality and low-priced.

So even though Liu Feng wanted to rest, he was actually still very busy between Siwa Village and Shuizhai.

When Liu Feng walked out, the first thing he saw was Da Zhuang standing upright in the yard.

Dazhuang is very conscientious. As long as Liu Feng is in the yard, he will guard the door no matter it is windy or rainy.

The big tree that originally stood on the roadside outside his courtyard has now become a landscape at the gate after several expansions of the courtyard.

And Dazhuang was standing under the big tree.

Although Dazhuang's work was hard, Liu Feng didn't say anything. Dazhuang was well-furnished and didn't feel cold even with his bare chest in the middle of winter. Besides, it was spring now, so he didn't say much.

After Liu Feng stretched his muscles in the yard, he came to Da Zhuang and said, "Come on, walk with me to the river."

Liu Feng came out of his yard and was still some distance away from the commercial district by the river. The area in between was the future residential area of ​​the entire Xinhedu.

However, because it is winter, the construction of the residential area has not yet begun, so this place is now the base of the entire Tiger Roar Army.

Apart from the Huxiao Army's dormitory, Liu Feng had already assigned other places to people. Those who didn't have houses each had a piece of land. Some diligent families had already repaired the foundations and even filled them with stones.

Some have not yet started construction.

Some people are diligent, some are lazy, he understands this.

After the spring comes, in at most two months, houses will slowly start to be built here one by one.

The soldiers in the Tiger Roar Army are now divided into three categories. The first category is local villagers, who are basically small officers like battalion commanders. The second category is recruited refugees and bandits. The third category is soldiers recruited from Dasan Pass and other cities.

Of course, apart from the hundreds of people who came with their families to help him suppress bandits in Youzhou City, Liu Feng allocated land to them. However, Liu Feng would not allocate land to those recruited from places like Dasan Pass. If they needed land, they would have to buy it with their own money or exchange it for military products.

This is also Liu Feng’s strategy. If you want to truly join Xinhedu, you must adopt the most simple attitude.

It is noon now. In addition to the time for lunch, there is also half an hour of rest time.

The closer you get to the commercial street of Xinhedu, the more people there are.

Although it has not yet been fully put into use, many places still need detailed treatment and the street hygiene also needs to be thoroughly maintained.

But even so, every morning early, people will set up their own small stalls in every corner of the commercial street.

They sell everything, including food, daily necessities, and even straw sandals.

Of course, Liu Feng also arranged shops to sell hunted fish, furs, tools produced by the blacksmith shop, bowls and stools produced by the carpenter shop and other miscellaneous items.

Today, the planned Xinhe Ferry has taken shape and gained popularity. Although it is called a ferry, its population is actually the size of a county. If calculated by the number of garrisons, the garrison at Xinhe Ferry is larger than that of Tianyong City.

In the eyes of Liu Feng, the chief operator, Xinhedu is like his child, growing up little by little.

Xinhedu is like a rising sun.

"General, come and try my sesame cakes."

"General, please take some of the purses I embroidered back with you."

Seeing Liu Feng step into the commercial street, everyone suddenly became lively.

Liu Feng smiled as he watched each family buy a little and let Dazhuang take it all. It was the first time he went to his own commercial street, and he felt bad for not taking care of the business of these people who had supported him the earliest.
