It is even harder to get from Jinshagou to Xiema Mountain. Xu Xin'an and his men rushed to Shituoling before the sky was completely dark. After taking some meat jerky and waiting for dry food, they rushed to Xinzhai, Shituoling for a night's stay. After using stagnant food in Jinshagou Village, the thieves were exhausted and arranged to go to three wooden houses to sleep first.

I was afraid that someone would run away, so the doors and windows of the wooden house were locked from outside.

Dad Han, Han Qi and Zhai Mazi were naturally treated differently, and they arranged for the three of them to live in a wooden house in a simple village; the wooden house also separated the residence of the thieves from the inside of the valley, and they were clearly required to monitor the newly-accompanied thieves at night.

They were not restricted in the village, so they asked them to help Ge and Niang Kun clean up the village first.

Everything is simple and there are too many things to do.

Xu Huai, Liu Qionger, Xu Wukun, and Xu Wuliang have to discuss subsequent arrangements in front of the oil lamp.

The person Xu Wujiang sent here was much better than expected, and Xu Huai's previous plans needed to be adjusted.

Although there are only more than 20 people at present, they can be divided into two teams directly. Xu Wukun takes Zhai Mazi and Han Qi to one team, specializing in inspections, escorts, supervision and other matters; Xu Huai can free up his hands.

Otherwise, Xu Wukun would not be able to take care of himself in the short term. Apart from Xu Xiaohuan, Liu Qiong'er and others were all powerless, so Xu Huai would never dare to leave the Golden Sand Hook easily.

The remaining personnel are led by Xu Wuliang and Mr. Han, and the construction of villages, iron furnaces, and the mining of sand and gold by chutes can also be carried out at the same time.

In this way, the framework of Jinshagou Village was built. When new people were added in the future, everything could be carried out in an orderly manner.

Speaking of manpower, in addition to the 17 Xu clan members, many people in Tongbai Mountain were captured and incorporated into the Jingsheng Army, and a total of hundreds of soldiers returned to Tongbai Mountain.

A considerable number of these people made a living by selling hard work or farming in the fields after returning; they were the first to become bandits, and they were definitely not pursuing a romantic life of drinking and eating meat from big mouthfuls, and they really couldn't survive.

They are now managing the village alone, and Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun are thinking about recruiting these people, but Xu Huai doesn't refuse, but this matter is in a hurry.

Everything must be kept secret. Where can they have the time to get out of touch and test it now?

If you cannot carry out the Xu clan flag, Xiema Mountain and Jinshagou are still too weak, so why should you recruit others?

If the so-called old friendship could withstand the test of life and death, Xu Wuli and Zhou Jing would not have been devoted to licking Xu Wufu's ditch.

Speaking of this, Xu Wuliang and Xu Wukun were also very angry and said:

"Don't look at the situation now that Dazhai is approaching us, but people like Xu Wufu and Xu Wuji have already become bad, so we have to be on guard against that side."

That being said, but the staff here is too limited. A large amount of supplies purchased from outside are carried in. A convenient path between Shitu Ridge and Jinsha Gully is required to rely on the dispatch of personnel from Dazhai.

Fortunately, under the huge crisis, Xu Wufu and others also acted very quickly.

It is indeed an impeccable excuse to build a rolling dam between Yuhuangling and Shituling, and to clear large open spaces at the bottom of the valley to clear rocks. The Xu family can openly recruit people who make a living outside.

Now Xu Wufu and several other major families and clans pay for their food. The clans returned to Yuhuangling to work and had money to get the grain. The cultivated fields can be given priority to rent and cultivate them, and they can even buy the newly reclaimed fields directly at a cheap land price. How many people in this world are willing to be displaced and chaotic?

With this excuse, Xu can even buy grain, iron and other materials from outside.

In the past, the Lutai villages were not only privately stored, but the clans also stocked up some waste grains. However, overall, the Lutai villages were limited by the scale of cultivated land, and the annual output of grain was much lower than the consumption.

Every year, we need to use the breeding of poultry, cocoons, and other breeding of mules, horses, chickens, sheep, etc., tea medicine collected, tung oil seeds, raw lacquer, wood, animal skins, bacon and other products, as well as hundreds of young and middle-aged people to make a living, to supplement the insufficient grain production in Yuhuangling.

Cellars were also built inside Yuhuangling to burn charcoal and lime, but there was no iron ore.

There are two blacksmith shops in Lutai Village, but they mainly purchase iron materials from outside to cast iron for farming and living.

Tongbai Mountain is about to start. If the storm continues for a long time, business and tourism will be cut off, and food, iron, cotton, salt and other materials will become increasingly scarce. At this time, a large number of people who are planning to return and not prepare early will only further aggravate the shortage of internal material supply.

No matter how much gold, silver and jewelry you stock up in your hands, it will be far less reassuring than food; and the strengthening of internal military equipment is inseparable from the full supply of raw and cooked iron.

Regardless of whether Xu Wufu is a vicious person or whether Shangfang Xu exploits the Xu clans, the internal mobilization of Xu's internal mobilization is still quite amazing.

The grain planting in Tongbai Mountain is mainly wheat and beans. After summer, the rain gradually increases, and the busiest farming season has passed.

In addition to the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, including strong women, Xu Wufu mobilized nearly 2,000 strong laborers as quickly as possible and first built three rolling dams in the middle of the mountain valley between Yuhuangling and Shituling.

The rolling dam is not an earth dam, but a quarry is mined, the floating rocks in the valley are cleared out, the solid foundation is cleared out, and the glutinous rice, kudzu vines are boiled into juice, and stir to the lime to apply stones.

Although this kind of mortar stone dam is expensive, the built rolling dam is solid and does not fear water immersion. It is only five or six feet high. It makes full use of the dry ditches washed out by mountain torrents inside the valley. Even if a single-channel rolling dam consumes one or two thousand tannes of money and grain, it can be barely accepted under the current situation.

After these three rolling dams are completed, when the weather is clear and rainy, the stone dam will be exposed to the water, which is equivalent to three additional shortcuts that can pass quickly between the Xinzhai, Dongpo, Shituling and the Xu family village.

The construction of houses inside Xinzhai was quickly unfolding; from Xinzhai to the west and south, two walkways inside Shituo Ridge were also advancing very quickly. The deep ravine that once blocked Xu Huai, Xu Xin'an and Xu Sihu were planning to build a wooden bridge on it.

The consumption of these manpower and materials is still digested by the Xu tribe. After all, the entire Shitu Ridge is considered to be the product of the Xu tribe; the fields reclaimed by the families who pay for the grain will be converted into their names first.

From Xiangtuo Ridge to the west, you have to cross a mountain to reach Jinshagou. The construction of this three-mile road is directly arranged by Xinzhai, and people are also arranged to carry four or five hundred kilograms of grain and corresponding tools into Jinshagou Village every day. However, the cost of money and grain is recorded in the account of Jinshagou Village.

The chute method gold digging is not complicated from preparation to operation.

Considering that the wooden boards were extended and the separation was more fully carried out, Xu Wuliang, with his manpower, finally sawed two cypress trees and fell diagonally beside the valley, driving dozens of thieves to dig the stream mud every day, and he could make up one or two taels of gold sand in about two or three days.

After Xu Wujiang occupied Xiema Mountain, although he burned tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and the thief village of the lower court of Chonghuangguan to cut off Pan Chenghu's retreat, Pan Chenghu had privately collected gold, silver, jewelry and other property in Xiema Mountain and seized a lot of them.

According to the counterfeit rules that have been popular in Tongbai Mountain for many years, half of them are seized and half is distributed to leaders of all sizes.

In addition to sending the twenty thieves in Jinxigou, after counting and seizing them, Xu Wujiang also promptly sent all the money and goods he had borrowed from Liu Qionger and Xu Huai, as well as the reward he deserved, and the total amount worth nearly 2,000 guan of money.

With this batch of money, Jinshagou Village has also started to reserve some necessary materials in the early stage, increase the construction speed of mountain roads and village houses, and strengthen the previous simple wall...

"Cheng Lunying has met Wang Xianggong..."

Cheng Lunying was only 40 years old and was admitted to the Jinshi Academy for several years. He was appointed as a member of Linzhou in the first year of Tianxuan. He was transferred to Biyang as the magistrate and the commander of the military commander at the end of the year before yesterday.

At this time, he had just learned about his destiny, his temples were slightly white. He walked into the courtyard and bowed to Wang Bing with a long bow, but his thin face had no expression. When he came to Huaiyuan, Yu Li had to come to pay homage to Wang Bing, but he seemed to be afraid of showing any unnecessary expression, which fell into the eyes of those who were interested and became a huge handle.

In the officialdom of Dayue, the serious face has become the standard.

"I am a cold person, and I can't stand this gift from Langjun Cheng." Wang Bing twisted a chess piece with his hand, stopped on the chessboard, turned sideways and nodded slightly at Cheng Lunying, and then returned the gift.

"The inspector Guo Caoling was assassinated before he took over the office. The prefectures and counties were shocked. The matter was reported to the Lu Office. Gu Zhengluo should have the power of thunder. In addition to rushing to report to the court for 500 miles, he also ordered the county officials to search for assassins. Lun Ying turned dizzy and came to pay homage to Gong Wang until today. Please forgive me." Cheng Lunying said these words calmly, as if Wang Bing had been to Linhuaiyuan for three months, he had been busy with Guo Caoling's assassination.

It seems that Guo Caoling was assassinated more than three months ago, rather than being assassinated at the Military Village Inn by Huaiyuan Inspection Office eleven days ago.

Wang Xuan stared at her bright eyes in surprise. She was still naive by nature and could not imagine how a person like Cheng Lunying could just speak lies, but her face could not change at all.

"It's easy to talk about. Cheng Langjun is a parent official in a county in Biyang. He is worried about the people and the king. Don't worry about the old man and the old man." Wang Bing also replied seriously.

As if he had completed a specific program, Cheng Lunying bowed slightly and left the courtyard. The county magistrate Zhu Tong also said nothing and followed the head of the capital and the clerk to walk out of the courtyard. Deng Gui wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and finally walked away without saying a word.

"Guo Caoling has been dead for eleven days. Cheng Lunying couldn't help but ruthlessly walked to Huaiyuan. It was really busy!" Lu Xiong couldn't help but sarcastically.
Chapter completed!
