The people heading north were quickly assembled.

The so-called family members are just some old and weak women and children, as well as the disabled old soldiers of the begging army. There are more than 1,300 people with gray hair, sitting on dozens of large donkey carts and slowly heading north.

The donkey cart was covered with thick hay and carried a lot of coal cakes to prevent the temperature from plummeting.

However, there was not much frustration on their faces. Instead, they were quite happy when they heard that they were going to Guangzong.

Guangzong is the base camp of the beggar army. There is plenty of money and food, so there is no need to go hungry or cold.

In contrast, life is precarious on Black Cloud Mountain.

"Old brothers, if you go to Guangzong, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking." Bo Wu encouraged people's hearts.

"Haha, several of my nephews are in Guangzong, and I don't know what's going on. We're going over now, so we can get together."

"My wife and children were separated in Hebei back then, and I don't know if they can be found."

Most people don't know the game and calculations involved, so they happily go there without fear of their lives.

What Li Nong wants is the attitude of Heiyun Mountain.

Now that Bo Wu has gone with his family, there is no need for the two sides to be at war with each other.

"Mr. Chang is indeed remarkable." Li Yue said expressionlessly as he looked at the people who were gradually going away.

Chang Wei put on his rattan hat and leather cloak again at this moment, "A man can bend and stretch, but he should not be limited to small details. Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and Zhang Liang was humiliated by picking up his shoes. If the leader of the village has great ambitions, he should not be stubborn. I have something to say.

, I wonder if the leader of the village is willing to listen?"

"Sir, please speak."

"It can take as short as one year or as long as two years. There will be great chaos in Yecheng. The leader of the village has great ambitions, but he must not show his prominence too early. Bo Tou leads this. Heiyun Mountain is closely connected with Guangzong, which is not a bad thing. This is already

This is the best solution I can think of."

Although he was sent by Li Nong, Li Yue felt that he seemed to be leaning towards him.

Looking back, I think that Bo Wu going to Guangzong is the best solution to pave the way for the future.

And General Bo left his only flesh and blood to himself, which was also to reassure himself.

Li Yue took a deep breath and said, "Thank you sir."

Chang Wei cupped his hands and said: "Since the Yongjia Rebellion, blood has flowed like the sea, withered bones like mountains, jackals and wolves are in the way, and wild dogs are rampant. The village owners have great medical skills and countless people are alive. This is a great merit. In the future, there will be chaos in Hebei. I hope there will be more village owners."

Take care of the people and think about the common people."

Everyone has their own motives behind their actions.

"Yue Ding will try his best!"

"Farewell." After saying this, he went down the mountain with his entourage.

Looking at his back walking down the mountain, Li Yue suddenly felt that this world was not all about money wolves and wild dogs, but there were still many people who cared about the common people.

Such people are also objects of solidarity.

It's a pity that the current strength is too weak.

Shi Tao's two envoys hurried over, no longer trying to conceal their malice, "For what happened today, Duke Qin will definitely pay off in the future!"

Li Yue glanced at the two of them and paid no attention to the two wild dogs, "Oh? I'll wait and see."

"Goodbye!" The two left angrily.

After the heavy snowfall, there were two light snowfalls, but the weather was no longer so cold.

Zhou Qian came to report on Hucao's progress, "Rough statistics show that there are 6,800 households in Heiyun Mountain, more than 30,000 people, and more than 7,500 young men. The detailed number of people will take two months to complete.

No statistics have been compiled for Xuanyuan Mountain."

Li Yue turned over several door panels.

The characters on it are crooked and unsightly, but they are still legible.

Most of the names are Wang Aqi, Liu Shiyi, Yang Gou, Zhao Shu and the like.

Zhou Qian felt ashamed and said: "Things are in a hurry, and many people don't have names, so my subordinates should distinguish them by numbers."

Ordinary people don't care about their names at all. In history, many people changed their names only after they became famous.

"Follow authority in urgent matters. This is a great strategy." Time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so you can only use your brain more.

"When I was doing household registration, my subordinates found more than fifty craftsmen. Now that there is iron ore, the craftsmen are put to good use!"

"Is there such a good thing?" Li Yue was overjoyed.

There is a mixture of people among the refugees, including farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, garrison soldiers, government servants, etc.

A few dozen craftsmen is not that many, but compared to a population of thirty to forty thousand, it is somewhat insufficient.

"These people were hiding in hiding at first, but then they let down their guard after seeing that people on the mountain were calm."

"Don't blame them." Li Yue smiled.

Everyone has their own little calculation in their mind. If there is fighting and killing all day long on Heiyun Mountain, who would dare to come out?

The best place of refuge for most refugees is Jiangdong, not a bandit village.

In order for others to contribute, the mountain must first make people feel at ease.

Before setting up the Dharma Cao, everyone on the mountain was in danger.

"There are not enough people. Anyone with skills can become a famous craftsman. No one will be compensated with twenty kilograms of food per month."

People these days always like to save something. It doesn’t make sense that there are only a few dozen craftsmen among 30,000 people.

Productivity is combat effectiveness.

Any improvement in craftsmanship in weapons and farm tools will increase productivity.

Li Yue also hopes to build trebuchets, bed crossbows, iron armor, etc.

The temptation to receive an extra twenty kilograms of grain every month is great, and there are many applicants.

There are more than 20 blacksmiths alone, and there are more than 200 other carpenters, stonemasons, cobblers, gelding workers, tailors, butchers, etc. There are also people who are good at weaving straw mats, straw clothes, straw shoes, and can herd cattle.

There are all kinds of people, those who know how to raise fish, etc.

Li Yue didn't mind it either, and divided people into four categories: iron, wood, leather, and miscellaneous.

As long as they have skills, give them a name to encourage their enthusiasm for production.

Choose a person with relatively high skills in each category as the leader, take advantage of the winter, recruit apprentices, teach one person, and gain five kilograms of food per month.

The mountain was immediately in full swing. Stonemasons expanded the forge, and carpenters and cobblers built shackles.

Among all craftsmen, the blacksmith is the busiest, followed by smelting. The key is hammering, which requires hundreds or thousands of swings of the hammer. It is difficult for inexperienced people to successfully create the required iron tools.

In the past, what I forged were hammers, bones, maces and other items with simple craftsmanship. Now I want to make armor pieces, arrow clusters, and swords, which is a great test of the skill of the craftsmen.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Du Shi, the prefect of Nanyang, invented the water drainage system and used hydraulic blasting to smelt iron, which greatly improved the smelting technology, greatly increased the output, and improved the quality a lot.

The entire Han Dynasty attached great importance to technological development.

The government specializes in ironware, paving the way for great technological development.

However, with the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the melee of the Three Kingdoms, the great plague, the Wuhu chaos in China and other natural and man-made disasters, Nanyang Ironworks has long since declined, and many technologies have been lost.

There are currently no such conditions in the mountains, and no one knows how to make water drainage. There are certain requirements for materials and site selection. This kind of high technology is generally in the hands of the nobles.

In the short term, it will be difficult for Black Cloud Mountain to replicate.

We can only solve the problems of yes and no first, and then slowly improve.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it is not difficult once you get started. It is a process where practice makes perfect.

Li Yue gave them enough time. If the items were not finished, they would be resmelted without penalty. The experience would always be accumulated.
Chapter completed!
