Chapter Twenty-Three: The Return Three days after the old magician left, Zhao Yannian finally returned to the Rodnik Territory with the Chamber of Commerce of the Half-Elf and Bunir, during which he also dealt with some miscellaneous matters, such as receiving the Chamber of Commerce purchased in Digang City, and arranging for some members of the Chamber of Commerce to stay behind, Bunier was originally going to see his daughter first, but after seeing the Chamber of Commerce purchased by Zhao Yannian, he resolutely decided to stay and put the Chamber of Commerce on the right track, and to pick up the members of the Chamber of Commerce and their families who came one after another.
Then Zhao Yannian led the half-elves and some of the families of the Chamber of Commerce back to Cuifeng Town, after arriving in Cuifeng Town, the mercenaries who held the shield hand immediately wanted to return, Zhao Yannian was not good to keep and had to give the mercenaries some gold coins as a thank you gift, and said that his territory welcomed the hand of the shield to establish a branch.
Then Zhao Yannian led everyone to Cuifeng Town to live temporarily, and assigned a piece of land in the east of the castle, which is in the opposite direction to Cuifeng Town, to the half-elves to establish a place to live.
Zhao Yannian listened to the servants in the castle that most of the people in the territory are now building roads, and Luna Erica has not returned to the castle for the night, so she took the magic car and began to patrol her territory.
On this trip, Zhao Yannian met a prophet who could change his fate, an old man who warned himself that his luck was too much, and an old magician who solemnly warned himself, Zhao Yannian completely believed the words of these three people, Zhao Yannian knew that he had not yet mastered the power of his own destiny, and after becoming a soul walker, he had seen the price paid by Dawuzun, Zhao Yannian had to believe that the ethereal thing of fate was probably real, so in order to protect his territory and protect his family, Zhao Yannian had no choice but to speed up his plan as much as he could.
In Zhao Yannian's territory in late July, there was already a sea of green in the fields, and the arrival of the half-elves did not bring too much trouble to the people of Cuifeng Town, because the grassland elves in the territory would occasionally come to Cuifeng Town to exchange their furs for some living products, so the townspeople were very calm about these guys with long ears.
This had to make Zhao Yannian and the half-elf breathe a sigh of relief.
The magic flying car roared low in the air, the road leading from the town to Hulu Mountain has been built, the six-meter-wide gravel road can allow two carriages to run side by side, the fine gravel makes the road not muddy because of the rain, the gravel is produced in a quarry opened up in Hulu Mountain with the people before the road starts to be built, manpower gravel requires a lot of labor and time, all Zhao Yannian specially installed a stone crusher for the quarry, this stone crusher is driven by the seventh-order magic crystal, in order to prevent the loss of the magic crystal, Zhao Yannian made the stone crusher very huge, and used a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate to seal the magic crystal inside the machine.
Zhao Yannian, who has been tinkering with gunpowder since he was a child, of course can't let the leader use a pickaxe and hammer to knock stones little by little, so he specially selected two smart and capable young men from the garrison and taught them the skills of fixed-point blasting, with the help of safety explosives, the quarry only needs two hundred people to operate normally.
At present, the limestone mined from the quarry is crushed into gravel to pave the road, and when the roads in the territory are paved, the quarry will not be closed, and in Zhao Yannian's plan, a small cement plant with an annual output of 600 tons will be built nearby in the near future to meet the construction needs of the territory.
After exploration, the limestone reserves selected by Zhao Yannian exceeded 50 million tons, and if all of them were mined to produce cement, it would be enough to turn Zhao Yannian's territory into a small city.
This is an indispensable material in Zhao Yannian's territorial construction plan.
When it comes to territorial construction, we have to mention infrastructure, roads, water and electricity, public transportation, and public communications, which are the basic infrastructure needed to meet the needs of an ordinary person in the previous life, without these, it is absolutely unbearable for people who have enjoyed the convenience brought by modern society.
For Zhao Yannian, who has endured more than 20 years of communication and transportation, it is his biggest dream to establish a territory with smooth road information and flushing toilets.
Erica is leading the people to repair the section of the road from Cuifeng Town to the inner region these days, the original four-meter-wide dirt road has now been repaired and widened to six meters, and returned to Cuifeng Town and flew sixty kilometers along the road that has been repaired, Zhao Yannian drove the magic car slowly landed outside the campsite at the construction site, and the magic speed car that fell from the sky attracted many people's exclamations.
"It's your lord!"
The sharp-eyed man had already discovered that it was his lord who had come down from this strange creature that breathed fire in the sky.
"It's really the lord, the lord is good."
The nearby leaders found that it was Zhao Yanhou, and they all bowed and saluted.
"Have you been tired from work lately?
How's the food?
” Zhao Yannian waved his hand and chatted with a few acquaintances, and then walked quickly into Erica's tent in the center of the camp.
Erica didn't wear her hair in a long red dress in a bun as usual, but now her long blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and casually hit on her shoulders, and the woman was wearing a normal men's trousers and shirt.
"Yo, I haven't seen you for a month, and my family's Erica has become pretty again."
After Zhao Yannian entered the tent, he laughed and stepped forward, picked up Erica and spun around a few times.
"Bastard, put me down, you brought back hundreds of beauties this time and still care if my yellow-faced woman is not beautiful!?"
Erica angrily slapped Zhao Yannian's back with her pink fist.
"Of course I care, those half-elves won't sleep with me, what's the use of looking good."
Zhao Yannian Tian shamelessly argued.
"How do I seem to have heard that the half-elves are already sleeping with you?"
Erica said sourly.
"That, ahahaha, by the way, why don't you wear a long skirt?"
Zhao Yannian tried to change the subject.
"Dead ghost, you still have the face to ask, such a big mess, you say let go, I have to take care of the eating, drinking and Lazar of tens of thousands of people these days, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to groom and dress up!"
As soon as Erica talked about the long skirt, she began to complain about Zhao Yannian.
"Baby, you can't blame me, if I don't pick up the half-elf, my father-in-law will be killed."
Zhao Yannian continued to change the subject.
"What!?
Who's going to kill my dad?!
Erica asked, stunned.
"Okay, it's all over, it's just some people who want to make money, and I'll go to the dark guild in a few days to issue a bounty, and this matter will be over."
Zhao Yannian grabbed Erica's ponytail with his hand and said while playing.
"No, you make things clear, I want to see who is trying to kill my father."
Hearing that her father was almost killed, Erica insisted on asking about the whole story.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Zhao Yannian stretched out his hand and pulled Erica into the chair, and began to detail what he encountered on this trip.
"By the way, you just said that an alchemist named Sherlock is coming to our territory?!"
Something suddenly occurred to Erica when she heard the name Sherlock.
"yes, he's already there?"
Zhao Yannian asked a little strangely when he saw Erica's strange expression.
"That guy went around the town and was interrogated by Luna with the guards, and for some reason, he was beaten up by Luna, and now he is being locked up in the castle dungeon."
"Well, Baby Luna and I really have a heart, and I'm about to beat him up."
Zhao Yannian was not sad when he heard the news that Sherlock was beaten, and even clapped his hands happily.
"What did that guy provoke you?"
Erica asked curiously.
"That guy has a bad problem is that he likes to inquire about other people's private things, I was cheated by him at the beginning, although the final result was good, but I have been very unhappy for so many years, but for some reason I have not investigated, and I only recently learned that he was the one who cheated me."
Zhao Yannian said with a smile.
"I see, then we must take care of him before letting him out, but why do you want to contain such a bad guy?"
When Erica heard that her husband had been cheated, whether it was right or wrong, she naturally wanted to help her husband speak.
"Don't you think such people are useful?
He was able to find me from some very small clues, so if he was given some information, would he be able to find more secrets, just like my father-in-law's case this time, I planned to let Sherlock find the mastermind who killed my father-in-law.
Zhao Yannian explained to Erica his vision for Sherlock.
"You're going to make him an intelligence monger?"
"Isn't this a good arrangement, his original hobby was to snoop on other people's secrets, and now his work and hobbies are unified, and it can also help our territory."
Xiao Biesheng was newly married, after Zhao Yannian and Erica chatted for a while, Zhao Yannian was a little anxious to start entangling with Erica, just as Zhao Yannian was about to kiss Erica, Erica suddenly pushed Zhao Yannian away, and then picked up the things around him and smashed them at Zhao Yannian.
"You bastard, I was almost abducted into the ditch by you, the money for the project is running out, I also need help here, if you don't solve this matter for me, don't think about going to my bed this month."
Erica, who kicked Zhao Yannian out of the tent like a lioness, stood at the door of the tent with her hands on her hips and said with a fierce face.
"Erika baby, don't worry, I'll solve this matter right away, right away."
Zhao Yannian was messy, nodding and flattering Erica.
In the good-natured laughter of the onlookers, Zhao Yannian left the camp and got on the magic car.
"Phew, Erica shouldn't have a problem with this, but I really can't mess with flowers in the future."
Zhao Yannian muttered to himself and started the flying car.
