Beside the bonfire in the night, Su Shi and the others' figures were clearly illuminated. Even though they were still far away, Shi Fo and the others could already recognize them.
"Master, this is the Stone Buddha." Hearing the familiar voice, Lou Yang turned around and said to Su Shi.
"Let them come over." Su Shi nodded.
"Come here." Lou Yang turned around and shouted again, and then he saw black shadows emerging from the forest and quickly rushing to Su Shi's face.
"The young one has met the young master."
There were quite a few people coming, and it looked like there should be about fifty people, but the voices were all in unison, almost coming from one voice, and they all knelt down on the ground in front of Su Shi.
It is precisely because of meeting Su Shi that people like Wang Ada have a life where they don't have to worry about food and clothing. They are all grateful people, and they only have infinite gratitude and admiration for Su Shi.
"Everyone, get up and go into the mountain to speak." Su Shi said with a look of relief as he looked at this absolute power that belonged to him.
Considering Su Shi's health, Wang Ada and others had already prepared a mountain sedan, a simple sedan that requires two people to carry. It is convenient and quick. After moving Su Shi onto the sedan, it is small in size.
You can quickly enter the mountain when you get off.
Su Shi did not want to make public the matter that he could stand up. Unless he was an absolute confidant, he thought it was not time for outsiders to know about this matter.
Everyone held torches, either in front, behind or on both wings, completely protecting Su Shi, and headed straight into Shangcang Mountain.
Halfway up the mountainside of Shangcang Mountain, the weeds and trees here have long been cleared away, forming a large natural square, where hundreds of houses have been erected to accommodate the people here.
This was Su Shi's first time coming to Shangcang Mountain. Looking at the scattered thatched houses, which seemed to imply gossip, Su Shi looked at the stone Buddha beside him with a questioning look on his face.
"Master, according to Wang Ada's opinion, this is actually a formation. The elderly, women, children and children live in the middle, and the young people live on the outer layer. Once attacked, the safety of the people inside can be guaranteed to the maximum extent, and the people inside can be left as safe as possible.
People inside have more time to evacuate."
"Oh? Is there such a formation?" Su Shi said with curiosity on his face.
"Yes, young master, this is what our ancestors left behind, making you laugh." Wang Ada came to Su Shi at some point and explained with a smile.
After passing through a number of houses, we came to the middle and largest house. Needless to say, this was built specifically for Su Shi by Wang Ada and others.
Su Shi had long heard that Wang Ada and the others had reserved this best location for themselves before building the house, and the materials they used were also the best. Although they didn't know whether Master Bengong would come to the mountain, they still
Having made preparations early shows the sincerity of my grateful heart.
"Okay, not bad." When he came to the house and saw that it turned out to be a house with a small courtyard, which was also divided into a main hall, a side hall, and a backyard, Su Shi admired sincerely.
Su Shi's satisfaction fell in the eyes of Wang Ada and others, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that what they did would make the young master dissatisfied, and in that case, they would die without redemption. And they didn't.
Until then, Su Shi occupied a very important position in their hearts.
Needless to say, there is a shrine right next to the largest house. Inside, there is a portrait of Su Shi painted by someone unknown. Although it is not too vivid, if you look carefully, you can still see it.
The one painted in Qing Dynasty is Su Shi.
Every morning on weekdays, Wang Adu would bring everyone to burn incense on the portrait. This was the source of the faith value Su Shide had obtained in Bianliang City.
Su Shi was very satisfied with this. The reason why he took in everyone from Shanhou Wangzhuang in the first place was here. Now it seems that his random behavior at the beginning played a big role.
In the side hall, other people had retreated to rest. Only Stone Buddha, Wang Ada and Ji Zhu were left.
During the day, Su Shi slept most of the day, and now he was not sleepy at all. He left the three of them alone because he just wanted to know more about the situation on Shangcang Mountain.
Su Shi was sitting there with some snacks and tea in front of him. Wang Ada and Ji Zhu were a little embarrassed at first, but when Shi Fo took the lead and reported while eating, they gradually relaxed.
The first one was reported by Shi Fo, "Master, according to your instructions, we began to intentionally expand the power and population in the mountain half a month ago. There were originally 408 villagers. After several expansions, the current population
A total of 1,835 people."
Among them, there are 325 young people, 310 women between the ages of 13 and 25, 320 children under the age of 13, and the others are all over 20 years old.
Women and elderly people over ten years old.
"Okay." Su Shi took out a pen and paper and recorded the numbers reported by Shi Buddha.
Next, Wang Ada reported on the work, "Master, there are two blacksmith shops on Shangcang Mountain. They can make two hundred bows and arrows and twenty knives every day..."
There are hundreds of acres of fertile farmland that have been cultivated in spring, and some seeds have been planted, but the harvest should not be large and cannot meet the needs of the mountain; there are two water sources nearby, which are sufficient; there are newly dug and previously dug cellars.
There are more than a hundred, but the young master said last time not to buy large quantities of food in Tongxu County, so there is not a lot of food in it now, and it is only enough to last on the mountain for seven days at most.
When he said this, Wang Ada lowered his head involuntarily. Obviously, this result made him very dissatisfied. He thought that he had betrayed Su Shi's trust. He usually gave them so much money, but now he didn't even have the extra food.
If you are not prepared to come out, you are derelict in your duty.
"Well, continue." Su Shi did not express too much. Without understanding and investigation, he has no right to speak. Before he fully understands the situation in the mountain, he will not issue any instructions, because it may be wrong.
.
After hearing Su Shi's words of encouragement, Wang Ada continued to report: "According to the young master's instructions, we imitated the academy at the foot of the mountain and built a larger academy, which can accommodate hundreds of children.
.”
"According to the young master's instructions, we cooperated with Cui Yuan's master to build a large medicine hall..."
After Wang Ada, Ji Zhu reported on the work. Compared with the first two, his words were more capable and concise. "Young Master, there are 325 young people in the mountain, and they have all been incorporated into the army.
During the campaign, we took the initiative three times and destroyed three bandit nests; we set up traps four times and attacked the bandits who came to steal the mountain. We killed hundreds of unscrupulous bandits and captured about a thousand prisoners. Now
They are all being held in another location, waiting for the young master's order."
"Not bad." Su Shi took a pen and recorded some numbers again, then nodded with satisfaction.
He had a kind heart at the beginning and casually dropped the word. He is very satisfied with the achievements he has made now. What he needs to do now is to integrate this power and let him exert his maximum energy.
As for the problems encountered, haha, Su Shi came with the system, and there are still more than 30,000 trust points in the system. Those who have nothing to eat, wear or wear, Su Shi will train them.
"Okay, you three are all tired. Go down and have a rest first. Starting tomorrow, I will look around and talk to you alone at any time. By the way, since I'm here, I have to express it, so
, starting tomorrow, we will have dinner for three days in a row, it can be regarded as a meeting gift from me to everyone."
"Ah?" After hearing this, Wang Ada looked like he was about to speak but hesitated.
He made it very clear just now that if we don't go to Tongxu County to buy the food in the mountains, we can only eat it for seven days. This meal will take two to three days in one day. How can we persevere?
Woolen cloth?
"Yes, Master." But before Wang Ada could speak, Shi Fo, who knew Su Shi, had already agreed.
Then, Shi Buddha pulled Wang Ada out of the side hall. As soon as he came out and could no longer see Su Shi, Shi Buddha said first: "I know what you are worried about, but please believe in the young master. Since the young master
Having said that, we have already prepared, and all we have to do is execute it."
"This...okay." Wang Ada didn't know where Shi Fo's confidence came from, but since he said this, he carried out it. In the worst case, if there is no food, he will go into the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat. Now that spring is here, everything will revive.
, there are a lot of wild vegetables. Besides, it’s not like I haven’t eaten them before.
After there was no one else in the room, Su Shi took out the paper that had been filled with words from his arms. These were the names of some items he had written down when he was in Su's house in Bianliang City. What he had to do now was to make statistics.
, how to use existing points to redeem various items that are most needed today.
That night, the lights in Su Shi's room were not turned off until dawn. This night, Su Shi slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up. Lou Yang woke up early, and after helping Su Shi wash up, he pushed the
He left the small courtyard.
In the morning on the mountain, the air was much fresher than in Bianliang City. More importantly, where Su Shi saw it, all the people, whether they were old people or children, had expressions of excitement and excitement on their faces.
They received the news early in the morning that they were going to have a dinner party for three days. Of course they were overjoyed to have food and delicious food. When they saw Su Shi, the young man in white, who was sitting in a wheelchair from a distance, they were all excited.
They stood still at a respectful distance, and then saluted devoutly. They already knew that the noble man who provided them with food and clothing was going up the mountain.
Among them there are some people who were not originally from the Wangzhuang after the Mountain, but they are also poor people. They are all people who have been rescued recently. They can now have food and clothing all because of Su Shi's help. At this moment, they are still
When I saw my benefactor for the first time, there was curiosity and gratitude in my eyes.
