After everyone returned, Liu An selected 60 people with the highest force value from all the victims and asked them to stand aside.

The force level of these people is above 20. They all come from the northern border. The border has been harassed by barbarians all year round, which has resulted in the martial custom of the people on the border. It can be said that all the people are soldiers.

Among them, the one with the highest force is even higher than Liu Ming, with 39 points of force!

It's just that this person's intelligence is only 14 points. He is dull and stupid and cannot be used for much purpose. He can only be a bodyguard.

During the process of selecting Qingzhuang, Liu An found two people who had no loyalty, only compatibility, and the compatibility was still negative.

These two people's strength was average, and they were not among the 60 people.

Liu An came to Feng Yan to ask about the situation of these two people, and Feng Yan directly suggested that they be taken down.

It turned out that these two people had been ostracized and expelled by everyone because they had repeatedly snatched food from their companions when the county minister was giving porridge.

The 273 people mentioned by Feng Yan did not include these two people. I thought that the two people had left the team, but unexpectedly they seemed to be following the team without being discovered.

After Liu An learned about the situation, he ordered Feng Yan not to move for the time being. In the dead of night, he secretly took a few people to another place and killed them directly.

If we drive away this potential threat, we will let the tiger return to the mountain and harm others.

Then Liu An selected two people from the selected 60 people whose comprehensive abilities were similar to Feng Yan, and divided the 60 people into three groups, with each of the three people responsible for 19 people.

One of these two people was named He Guan and the other was named Wang Chi. They were both from poor families without names.

One group is in charge of Feng Yan, the second group is in charge of He Guan, and the third group is in charge of Wang Chi.

Then three groups of people were asked to receive materials and tools. One group of 20 people each received a hoe, the second group of 20 people each received an axe, and the third group of 20 people each received a saw.

Then each of the 60 people received a straw mat to carry on their backs and a pair of straw sandals to put on on the spot. Going to work in the wasteland is not as good as walking on flat ground. If these people are still barefoot, by night, 60 people will

I'm afraid I don't have a single intact foot.

The remaining bedding and 3 straw mats are left for the rest of the people to share.

After the tools have been distributed, it’s time to go to the site to work.

Liu An took a look at the sky and saw that the time had passed Wei hour and was approaching You hour. He had to go to the city to buy food, tableware and other items, so he gave Liu Bei the land certificate that Gongsun Zan had given him.

He also asked Liu Ming to go to his house to pull a few cars and all the things he bought. Liu Ming and Liu Bei would first take the victims to the fields to level out a square piece of land one acre in size.

He drove to the city himself.

After paying the entry fee, Liu An drove the cattle to the north of the city without stopping, and first rented five carriages.

The carriage was charged by time. Liu An rented it for one hour, and together with the groom, the total cost after negotiation was 150 yuan.

Then he took 5 carriages and bought 3 water tanks and 3 cauldrons.

This cauldron is indeed very big, and it is not a problem to cook 300 bowls of porridge. The reason why Liu An bought 3 bowls of porridge was because Liu An considered that a bowl of thick porridge would not be enough to fill him up. If he was not full, how could he have enough energy to work?

So Liu An planned to use two of the cauldrons to cook rice and the other to cook vegetables.

The cauldron costs 500 yuan each, plus 3 water tanks, the total is 1644 yuan. The shopkeeper saved a small change and spent a total of 1640 yuan.

After loading the cauldron and water tank on two carriages, Liu An went to the grain store and bought 20 shi of rice for 4,600 yuan.

Also loaded on two carriages, Liu An once again went to the place where he bought old bedding in the morning. This time he did not buy another straw mat, but spent 6,000 yuan to buy 30 sets of bedding.

Now that there is not even a shelter from the wind in his fields, he can no longer let the victims walk more than 10 miles back to Liujia Village or outside Zhuo County to find shelter from the wind. It would be too far to travel back and forth.

In this way, how to spend the night becomes the key. You can't let the disaster victims freeze to death after following you on the first day.

I bought 20 sets of bedding before, and adding these 30 sets, there are 50 sets in total. When taken apart, there are 100 sheets.

Two people can wrap up and keep warm for a while, at least enough for the old, weak, women and children.

As for Qingzhuang, with a straw mat and a few fires, he should be able to survive the night.

So Liu An put the bedding on his ox cart, bought another cart of firewood, and put it on the last cart.

A bundle of firewood costs 10 cents, and a cart contains 20 bundles, which costs 200 cents.

I bought all the firewood and cauldron for cooking, and there are still a few tools left, such as spoons, basins, cutting boards, and bowls and chopsticks for eating.

But now Liu An only has 780 yuan left on him, 4 yuan for a pottery bowl, and 10 pairs of chopsticks for 1 yuan. There are 273 victims in total. Subtracting the 20 pairs of bowls and chopsticks he bought before, he still needs at least 250 pairs.

Liu An no longer had enough money left to buy so many bowls and chopsticks, so he could only take a step back and buy 130 pairs first, and then take turns eating.

Wait until the lottery is finished today, or sell the Lao Ganma in the inventory tomorrow and replenish the remaining dishes.

Liu An spent 533 yuan to buy 130 pairs of bowls and chopsticks. In addition to the ones he bought before, if he eats in two rounds, he can still have some free bowls for serving dishes.

Of the remaining 247 coins, Liu An spent 100 coins on tools such as spoons and cutting boards, and another 50 coins on two pairs of fire sickles for making fire.

Liu An didn't touch the remaining 97 yuan. He had to pay the entrance fee when he entered the city tomorrow, and he had no money at all.

In just a short time, Liu An's 13,385 money bottomed out.

It even included the final payment of 1,000 yuan that Liu An had originally planned to pay for the wooden box and ceramic tiles, but now he could only think of another way.

All the money was spent, and there was no need for Liu An to stay in the city any longer. He called five carriage drivers to get on the carriage, and the five carriages followed a cow and drove out of the city in a mighty manner.

After returning home first, Liu An poured fifty or sixty potatoes into the water tank in the car, told his mother to come back for dinner in the evening, and then headed towards the approximate location of the field in his memory.

The 50 barren fields given to him by Gongsun Zan are located 15 miles west of Zhuo County and 10 miles south of Taohe River.

Liu An still had some memory of the location of Taohe River. It was a river flowing from the northwest of Zhuo County. When his predecessor was a child, he was taken there to play by Liu Ming, Liu Bei and others.

It is 15 miles west of Zhuoxian County and 10 miles south of Taohe River, roughly southwest of Liujia Village.

So Liu An followed the westward direction of Zhuoxian County for about 15 miles, and then started to head south.

Liu An only needed to estimate the approximate location. Liu Bei had already taken the victims there first. With so many people, they could be seen even from a long distance, so Liu An didn't have to worry about not being able to find them.

Before Liu Bei left, Liu An had already handed Liu Bei the land certificate Gongsun Zan had given him.

There was detailed information about the property on it, including the geographical location and land coordinates. He remembered them all clearly. Liu An believed that with Liu Bei's ability, he would never be able to find the wrong information.

Half an hour later, Liu An found Liu Bei and others.

This place can't even be called a 'field', it can only be described as a wasteland. Not only are there grass and rocks everywhere, but there are also many thick trees growing on the ground.

Just as Liu An expected, if he wanted to make reasonable use of these 50 acres of wasteland, he would first have to cut down the trees and pull out the roots, and then clear out the mess of rocks and hay.
