"It turns out to be Senhu-sama!"

Unexpectedly, there were officials from the Ming Dynasty in this desolate northern land.

To the common people who worked hard to cultivate the loess, these ancient officials were nothing more than superior.

What's more, this is the Jinyi Guard Qianhu.

In fact, most of the people who ended up here are disaster victims and have complicated feelings towards Ming Dynasty.

Bitter and cold in the wilderness, my heart is tied to my hometown.

But the tragic experience left irreparable wounds in my heart.

Let everyone feel strangely alienated from the so-called Ming Dynasty that exists in that land.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty failed to protect their homes, and there was no relief for the disaster.

The towering fortress can only protect the wealth of the gentry, while the people at the bottom are like weeds.

Like an abandoned person.

Being plundered, exiled and trampled on...

The people's fantasy and awe of the Ming Emperor eventually became numb.

They are people who have been abandoned once.

There are many scholar-bureaucrats who are good at wine and meat, and can give desperate slaves a way out in the cold soil.

He is a true warrior.

"If the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all like Lu Qianhu, why would we end up like this!"

Some people couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

More and more servants gathered around him.

People in torn clothes stretched out their necks and surrounded Ula.

"Da Ming? What does Da Ming mean?"

Ula spat, and this time she simply stood on a stage and raised her face again: "My master has said that the land built by his own sweat cannot tolerate the imperial power on his head!"

The tone was very passionate.

Yelang was arrogant, he was talking about things like Wula, and thought that his master was the only one in the world.

Wula didn't even understand what Ming Dynasty or Qianhu was.

He is just a second-generation senior slave.

A person who has never seen the world dares to say it so carelessly and casually under the compliments of everyone.

But those "slaves" below, who have been reduced to this, are common people who have been under the imperial power for generations.

All of them looked blank and their eyes were wide open.

The tools some people were holding fell down at some point.

There seemed to be some energy in his skinny body.

Several strong men who secretly ran over to listen shouted excitedly: "That's so right! Go to hell with the dog emperor!"

...

Looking at everyone, the mood is getting higher and higher.

In this cold winter, there seems to be a different kind of enthusiasm.

The rags on his body seemed to have turned into flags, dancing with a clanging sound.

But suddenly.

The surroundings became quiet again.

Wula was still bragging on the stage. Everyone moved out of the way, and Lu Zhou kicked him down:

"The cows are blowing to the sky? Get the oxcart and horses ready, I want to go out!"

Lu Zhou knew in his heart that Wula didn't know anything, but he was just excited and acting nonsense.

But after Ula’s rendering.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou and looked different.

It could be said that it was mysterious before, but now there is a sense of awe and strange expectation.

Everyone hopes that Zhuangzi can build better and better under the leadership of this young "adult".

They continued to perform their duties and started working.

...

Ulla received the order and did not dare to delay, so she quickly made arrangements.

The equipment is still the same as before, an ox cart with two strong men.

I brought more meat.

But this time, all the strong men were on horses.

What he holds in his hand is an improved version of the firecracker.

Lu Er got wind of it and followed him again.

"There won't be anyone in the north, Lu Er, why are you following me here again?"

Wula carried a bow on his back and kept saying that he was going to go out and kill a wolf this time.

In addition to Wula, the two strong men and Lu Zhou were carrying not only short-barreled firearms, but also spears.

There is really no need to fear any wild beasts.

Lu Er scratched his head: "I'm worried about the master's safety. There were fewer calves the day before yesterday."

"There are fewer calves again?"

"Why are there so many missing calves lately?"

"Master, there are fewer calves, but they have become more stable recently! If the wolves in previous years had made a fuss, there would have been more than just a few."

But Ulla didn't think it was anything. Compared with previous years, this year's losses were much smaller.

Not only were the losses reduced, Zhuangzi also accumulated some wolf skins.

Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something: "The wolves are quiet. Could it be that the bears in the forest ran to the grassland?"

"It's possible! It's very possible! Master, just let me go!"

After Lu Er heard this, he nodded his head desperately.

He was almost crying and begging. He had been training in Zhuangzi for many days.

After all, he should still belong to the age of a sliding shovel boy.

Especially since I saw a bear being hunted yesterday, I was not in the mood to train all day.

The handle of the gun was slippery.

"Don't be afraid even if there is a bear, I still have the bow on me!"

Wula was very proud: "Now my arrows are accurate at 30 steps away. If the wind is not strong, I can hit the target at 50 steps!"

“Go if you want to!”

Lu Zhou waved his hand, not caring about the extra person.

Lu Er was so happy that he jumped on a horse and followed happily.

Lu Zhou took the two of them away from Zhuangzi.

This time when we come out, we still have to look for ores, and the main target is gypsum.

"Master, look at this thing called a sled, it's really good!"

The group of people walked all the way to the north.

Within a few minutes, you can see oxcarts carrying clay and saltpeter coming and going.

There are usually two people on the bullock cart, one driving the cart and the other guarding with a weapon.

The wheel hubs of the oxcarts now being transported have been changed into two wooden sleds, which has made the efficiency even higher.

In fact, Lu Zhou felt that Lu Er's worries were indeed a bit unnecessary.

Now, almost the entire uninhabited land in the north has become Luzhuang's rear area.

The ore veins that Lu Zhou visited previously have been excavated in small batches.

Especially the clay, which is transported to Zhuangzi every day, does not look good enough.

The main reason is that the demand is high, and the efficiency of mining this winter is probably not high.

Although transportation is convenient, in the cold winter in the north, it should be difficult for people to dig the soil.
