After arranging the messy things, Zhao Ru returned to the house built by Li Chenfeng for Zhao Ru. In fact, there were two courtyards. There were a few Zhao Xiong brothers living in front, while Zhao Mother, Lian'er and Xin'er living in the back.
As well as four maids and two old mothers.
"Mother, how do you feel?" Zhao Rong came to the back hall and saw his mother and Lian'er. Xin'er was talking, so she spoke from afar.
"What's the matter? It's pretty good here, surrounded by mountains. I heard that there is a small horse farm inside. Xin'er kept yelling to go riding a horse." Zhao's mother said with a smile.
Zhao Rong knocked on Xiner's little head and said, "Little girl, don't you learn to be a female worker with your sister Lianer, why do you learn how to ride a horse? You are not afraid of getting married when you grow up."
Xin'er glared at Zhao Rong and said angrily: "What little girl? I'm not young anymore. You promised me last time, and you won't call me a little girl anymore. In addition, you promised me to teach me how to ride a horse.
”
"Is that true? Have I promised?" Zhao Rong said pretending to be ignorant.
"You promised me, you clearly promised me, you don't trust me!"
"Okay, okay, I agree. I'll teach you how to ride a horse in a while. OK." Seeing a layer of mist seeping out of the little girl's eyes, Zhao Rong said quickly.
"Liang'er, what are you doing?" Zhao Rong asked in confusion when he saw Xu Qinlian embroidering something on a piece of silk.
Xu Qinlian's face turned red and she said softly: "This is your underwear, I'm embroidering the unicorn on it."
When Zhao Rong heard this, he felt warm and said softly: "Liang'er, thank you. But why do you want to embroider the Qilin?"
Is that true? I have some underwear to repair the Kirin, anyway, I wear it inside, and others can’t see it.
Xu Qinlian blushed and didn't say anything. Xin'er looked straight at Zhao Rong until Zhao Rong was a little unnatural when she saw him, and she said, "When we came, we heard a lot of people talking about you, and they all said you are so awesome.
Yes, what is the white horse, silver spear, red Qilin? Oh, in short, your red Qilin is famous, and everyone knows it was embroidered by Sister Lian'er, and they all praise Sister Lian'er's female worker as good as that."
Zhao Rong understood this. He moved many people's families one after another and provided accommodation, fields, seeds, etc. More importantly, it could ensure their safety. They naturally praised themselves and saw their own.
The relatives naturally approached. Looking at their mother, they were sure that Zhao's mother nodded slightly at Zhao Ruo, meaning that they were as Zhao Ruo guessed.
"By the way, there are so many aunts today, and mother-in-law delivering us things? Although it is not worth it, they seem very sincere. Cousin, you are so awesome." Xin'er looked at Zhao Rong in admiration and said excitedly.
Looking at Xu Qinlian looking at Zhao Rong deeply, Zhao's mother shook her head secretly. She liked and was afraid. Lian'er's mother died for her. Although it was a voluntary transaction, others may not understand it. It's a good thing.
Things have changed. But when she sees that her son likes Lian'er very much, she has nothing to say and can only let it develop.
The child is grown up! A sudden idea came to Zhao's mother. Forget it, I can handle my own business by myself. I can't control such things.
"Liang'er, have you repaired the cloak I gave you at noon today?" Zhao Rong asked.
"I've made up for it, and I won't be able to see the difference if I don't look carefully. I'll make one for you in the next two days."
"No hurry, I have something I need Lian'er's help."
"My cousin said it's right, I will definitely do what I can do." When Xu Qinlian heard Zhao Rong's words, she quickly answered with affirmative answer.
"That's right. There are more than a hundred women caught by bandits in our village before. They are all homeless. I put them in the logistics team, but I was a little worried about being with a large group of men, so
I am going to arrange it together separately to help the soldiers make clothes and other things. I just need some military uniforms and cloaks, so please give Lianer some guidance. In addition, if there is nothing wrong with the newly moved family members at the foot of the mountain, they can also attract them and let them do it.
Come and help, and then calculate the wages per day."
Xu Qinlian's face froze when she heard this, and she hesitated: "I'm going to take someone? Is this appropriate?"
Zhao Rong knew what Xu Qinlian was worried about. Although the Great Yan State did not have the strictness of women in the Southern Song and Ming dynasties, women from wealthy families rarely showed up in public.
"Of course I'm not asking you to go out and take them. The whole Wohu Mountain Village has grown into strips. The innermost is the horse farm, the middle is the residential area, the outermost is the training ground and the military camp on duty. On the left side of the residential area in the middle are me and a few others.
The captain's courtyard is on the right of the soldiers' resting place, and it is also a barracks. There is also a large vacant courtyard on the right of this courtyard. It was originally for Zhao Xiong and the others to live in, but they live here, so there is
After the emptied time, I planned to open up several courtyards to specially place some women and some orphans in the disaster. So, no one went except boys under ten years old."
Zhao Rong continued: "More importantly, the hundred and ten women in distress are all sixteen or seventeen years old. I hope you can control them, let them calm down, forget the past, and concentrate on serving us."
After hearing Zhao Liu's explanation, Xu Qinlian calmed down and agreed, "Okay, I'll go, I don't know what style my cousin wants to do, and when will I want it?"
"It's the cotton and linen round neck dress built into the Mansion Armor. It's black. After three days, the more the better. The cloak, imitating mine, at least one hundred pieces, the more the better. It's also necessary in three days, but these cloaks are not
It takes such a big unicorn, only a ball of fire is needed." Zhao Rong described it roughly.
"I understand, I will arrange for them to start work in the afternoon."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone prepare the place for you later. At the same time, I'll go to the two towns at the foot of the mountain to recruit workers, and I also need to buy some cloth. Oh, when making clothes, don't be alone.
Make one, and everyone needs to do it together.” As he said that, he explained the assembly line method.
Xu Qinlian's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Cousin, you are so smart. In this way, our speed will be much faster."
Zhao Rong accompanied his mother and the two girls to have lunch. After talking to Zhao Xiong and other brothers, he hurried to the meeting hall in front of the yard to make some future arrangements.
"Uncle Li, how many soldiers are there in the village now?" Zhao Rong asked after everyone came to Qi.
"There are 730 people who can fight after being injured today. However, recently, people from far away wander to the foot of the mountain every day, so some can be recruited, about 800 people. The war horses and the harvest today
There are 1,100 horses in total, which not only reaches the limit of the horse farm in the village, but also often takes these horses out for a walk. Otherwise, they will only be used to pull carts in the future."
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "I don't worry about this. Once the soldiers rode, there would not be too many. Apart from leaving some good horses as stallions, the rest would be ridden by the soldiers."
"Okay, just count it as eight hundred people, we will take action immediately, so we need to adjust the arrangement from a small amount. Eight hundred people are divided into five sentries, three teams per sentry, fifty people per team, and the remaining fifty people are the same.
, I personally took it. I think Uncle Li, Zhao Xiong and Ling Feng have already told you about the short-term arrangements in the future, so two of them will follow me in five days. I wonder who would like to go with me?"
"Brother, I do!"
"I do, too!"
For a moment, the crowd was excited and wanted to go to Yanzhou with Zhao Rong.
"Yuan'er, didn't you say you would take them all? Why did you only bring six?" Li Chenfeng asked in confusion.
Zhao Rong explained: "I have a dark look at the situation in Yanzhou and I don't know at all. This is my follower. My mother is also here. I must not lose it here. Yanzhou Commander Sima Yun
Maybe I won’t be so openly, but I will definitely attack here secretly, so this is the top priority. In addition, secret sentries must be arranged for villages and towns around Wohu Mountain. Whenever there is any situation, we
You must know."
Li Lingfeng nodded after hearing this and said, "I also think what the adults said is reasonable, but this time I go to Yanzhou, I must have me." He understood very well that Wohu Mountain is Zhao Rong's base camp, and the person who stayed behind must be himself.
The confidants, the Zhao brothers here are more suitable than themselves. In addition, they are in their thirties and do not want to stay alone.
Zhao Rong nodded secretly, very satisfied with Li Lingfeng's awareness, so his hometown was naturally left to his own people to guard.
"How is it? Have you agreed?" Zhao Rong asked with a smile as he looked at the people who were arguing.
"It's better for the arrangement of the elder brother. No one is willing to stay, so I'll stay. Anyway, I'll leave more than half of it. When the elder brother is settled there, I'll go there." Zhao Xiong, who has always been steady and honest, said.
Zhao Xun has always been very satisfied with Zhao Xiong. He is a loyal but not stupid person. He is steady in his work and supports Zhao Xu very much.
"Five sentries are one sentry at a time, and two sentries are the two sentries and five sentries. Each sentry is headed by two deputy sentry chiefs, the sentry chief and the deputy sentry chief each lead a team, responsible for training, and the war is based on the order of the sentry chief.
The whistle chief Li Chenfeng, Li Shu, Xiao Changshan, Zhao Mang; the whistle chief Zhao Xiong, Xu He, Zhao Ning; the thunder chief Zhao Lin, Luo Li, Zhao Fei; the thunder chief Li Lingfeng, He Fang,
Zhao Hai; Five whistle chiefs Lin Luo, Zhao Kang, Zhao Jie. You are only temporarily appointed. In the future, according to the performance and number of people, the deputy team rate of each team will be the veterans who have made contributions this time. The fourth young master and the fifth
After five days, I will go to Yanzhou to go with me. I will train strictly in the past few days. Especially for the immediate rush, gun technique, and knife technique. Are there more than 200 round iron shields this time? That's a good thing."
Li Chenfeng also smiled and said, "It's indeed a good thing. According to Lord Su, this is not easy to see in Yanzhou City. The soldiers used large shields with iron-clad hardwood, and they were not as good as this one. In addition,
There are more than 270 excellent long swords, all of which are excellent."
"That Sima Jack is going to hurt!" Lin Luo said with a smile.
