The newly added population is distributed in this way.

Of course, there are still some remaining people who are waiting to be randomly recruited when needed. For example, mining, transportation, textiles and clothing, etc., also need manpower.

It won't be possible to subdivide it for a while.

...

the next day.

In the early morning, a few people went to the tent outside to select people.

More than two hundred slaves had also woken up early, and were awakened by the sound of slogans. The strange slogans they had never heard before, the shouts of "one, two, one," came from the village. In the cold winter morning, they shouted

Tremendous sound.

After a while, I saw someone coming over again with a knife.

"mother,......"

The child nestled in her mother's arms, trembling with fear.

"Don't, don't be afraid..."

The mother comforted the child. The next moment, she saw the bright knife in the man's hand flickering, and one by one, the hemp ropes on everyone's feet were cut off.

Since coming to the Northland, their feet that had been bound were completely released for the first time. Some people wanted to stand up, but staggered and fell back to the ground.

It seems that the cold winter last night was not pleasant.

While Gou Sheng was cutting the grass rope, he carefully observed all the faces that he had not had time to look at before.

Then he shook his head, returned to Lu Da, and said sadly: "It's so tragic, there is no familiar face..."

The familiar faces are gone, which proves that all Gou Sheng's former comrades are dead, unless they can escape.

These are still a new batch of slaves.

"Okay, then let's start selecting people!"

Lu Da grinned. As a second-generation senior slave, he had absolutely no empathy for Gou Sheng. With a grin on his face, he went over to select a young man.

This person takes a look, that person takes a look.

When all the slaves saw this ferocious man approaching, they were even more frightened. The people who were picked up were even more frightened. The children turned their heads and did not dare to look. They wanted to cry but did not dare.

cry.

At this time, Lu Zhou also walked out of Zhuangzi.

Just now he went to the horse pen to sign in, and the system rewarded eight good horses. When he was in a good mood, he came out and saw these slaves, and suddenly he frowned again.

He called Lu Da over: "Lu Da, there were women and children among these people earlier, why didn't you tell me?"

When I came back yesterday, everyone was buried under the grass and I couldn't see clearly. Now I saw someone holding a child in their hands, and then I realized that there was a woman in the crowd?

It is very rare for women and children to come here alive.

Lu Dahu was stunned, then scratched his head and said with a cheerful smile: "Master, if you want a woman, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Lu Zhou kicked him directly. He didn't know what was going on in this guy's head all day long, but he just ordered: "Bring me all the women and children!"

...

Lu Da excitedly ran back to the crowd and shouted: "All women, stand up! Come to our master!"

After a while, a sparse group of people formed. There were twenty-four people in total. Some of these people were holding children in their hands, some were not, and most of them were middle-aged women.

"Hurry up and go in first! Don't keep the master waiting!"

Lu Da asked people to take them away, while he continued to select young men.

An old woman endured her weakness and spat, but she still didn't dare to hesitate. A group of people followed her in. As soon as they entered the middle of the village, the noise actually began to subside.

Upon closer inspection, there are some buildings built around Zhuangzi, blocking part of the cold wind.

Compared with the outside, the inside of Zhuangzi is more like some fireworks. There are strong men patrolling around from time to time, in twos and threes, but they are also neat and tidy, which makes it look inexplicably more imposing.

What's more important is that the people here all have faces from the motherland! I can't help but look forward to it, if this is the Zhuangzi of the Ming Dynasty...

The women and children followed curiously until they came to a big tent.

This tent originally belonged to Lu Zhou and was the thickest in Zhuangzi.

Some servants have also packed away some of the ores and bottles that were originally piled here, and plan to move the place where gunpowder is prepared to another place.

Lu Zhou was already waiting here and pointed at the tent: "From now on, you can just live here."

There was no sound from all the women. The one who should be holding the child still held the child. They looked blankly at this strange man in front of them.

This so-called owner of the village is really weird. He wears leather coats one after another as if they are free. There is nothing visible on his face, only a piece of mink fur with two eyeballs exposed.

.....

The children were also frightened. Just like this, they were even scarier than the fierce man outside just now.

I'm afraid there's no face behind this mink...

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then remembered something and tore off the mink skin on his face before continuing: "Don't be afraid, everyone, I am also a member of the Ming Dynasty..."

Under the mink skin, there is actually a fair and peaceful Ming Dynasty face!

All the women and children knelt down quickly: "Master, master, please take us in..."

He begged and kowtowed.

"Okay, okay, didn't I tell you to live here? The women and children will be accommodated in advance."

Lu Zhou quickly waved his hand to stop everyone's behavior. These people were all older than him and were really not used to it.

After saying this, everyone realized that they had been settled and could actually live in this big tent from now on.

No more living with animals...

Everyone just didn't react because no matter where they went, women and children were the first targets of abuse.

Didn’t you expect that this place would be given priority?

Looking at the face of the young village owner in front of me, he has regular facial features and a bit of elegance, typical of a scholar.

He must have been an extraordinary nobleman during the Ming Dynasty. No wonder there is a reason why such a Zhuangzi could be established in this cold land...

"Okay, I called you here for a purpose. In my village, no matter who you are, you can't eat and drink for free."

Having said this, Lu Zhou tugged at the crooked fur coat on his body and continued to ask: "Let me ask you, who of you can spin clothes?"

"meeting!"

"We all do!"

Everyone raised their hands.

Lu Zhou smiled happily. It seemed that from now on, he would no longer have to wear clothes made by rough men. Women in ancient times were so clever and ingenious.

"From now on, you will be organized into workshops. Each of you will receive half a catty of meat per day. If you have children, you will receive an additional half catty..."

This group of people is simply unbelievable, and the situation has reversed so quickly.

Originally, he was still a slave living on his last breath, suffering from hunger and cold, and this Zhuangzi really looked like him, so I was afraid that he would really be able to survive in the future.

"Don't worry, owner, we are the best at spinning clothes."

All the women were grateful, and after putting their children in the tents, they were about to make clothes.

Lu Zhou asked someone to take them to eat meat, and then immediately went to the workshop. There were more spinning pendants in the past few days. We couldn't let those people continue to waste the wool...

Just as a group of people were about to leave, a woman was left alone.

Everyone can weave, but she can’t?

I have been standing here like this.

It could be seen that the people around her were keeping away from her just now, as if they were a little scared.

Lu Zhou was thinking about how to arrange it.

At this time, a woman came over and whispered: "Her name is Du Erniang. She was killed by barbarians and has some mental problems..."

Lu Zhou nodded and understood immediately, so he asked Wula to come in and arrange a job doing chores, so that he could have food in the future.

Wula walked in. When she saw Du Erniang for the first time, she was stunned for no reason: "Master, if you want, why don't we arrange to go to the horse pen..."

Lu Zhou nodded: "Old Wu, you are now the head of internal affairs. It's up to you."

Wula took Du Erniang away.

At this time, Lu Er came out of nowhere and said thiefly: "Master, I'm afraid Ula is interested in Du Erniang..."

Lu Zhou shook his head: "Hey, they are all pitiful people."

Lu Er was still smiling mischievously.
