The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Through the telescope, Liu Sheng could not only see the laziness of the officers and soldiers, but even the details of their armor.

In a word, it looks worse than Liu Xicai's soldiers.

He, Hong Niangzi and others will fall into the hands of these officers and soldiers, and their previous efforts have been in vain.

Thinking that he would have to escort the grain transport team to Dashui Pingzhai today, and the bandits on the road might be more threatening, Liu Sheng said to Shi Jincai: "You continue to monitor. Once the army comes towards Gaozhuang, report it immediately." .”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Shi Jincai couldn't help but ask: "What if the officers and soldiers stay in the town and don't come out?"

Liu Sheng thought about the appearance of these officers and soldiers, and felt that such a thing might indeed happen, so he said: "If there is no movement from the officers and soldiers by the time the sun reaches zenith, you can go back to Tianmu Mountain."

"Yes!"

Shi Jincai and others looked happy when they heard this.

On this hot day, it's not that pleasant to be a sentinel doing surveillance. Of course, they are happy to be able to go back to the mountains early...

Minggang Town, the Zhang family mansion.

The officers and soldiers also wanted to go back early.

Jiang Deshan, the commander-in-chief of the Xinyang Prefecture garrison, was sitting in the hall of the main house of the Zhang family, drinking millet porridge and fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan.

I thought: It’s already so hot in early June, won’t it get even hotter in July?

Why the hell can't you let it rain?

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Shi Chang, the servant, came in sweating profusely and casually saluted him with fists in his hands.

"Master, when will we return to Zhoucheng?"

Jiang Deshan rolled his eyes, "You've only been out for a few days and you want to go back. What kind of soldier are you doing?"

"Master, Minggang is really unbearable. I asked my brothers to go out and inquire early in the morning. The Red Lady's people transported almost all the food in Minggang, leaving some rations for the people.

The big households were robbed of thousands of stones. When they saw us, they cried and complained that there was no way they could provide food and grass. If they didn't leave, we would have to steal food from the people. "

Jiang Deshan thought for a while and said: "Go and tell those big households to provide us with food and grass for three days. If there is no trace of the bandits tomorrow, we will leave."

When the chief heard this, he understood that Jiang Deshan was threatening the big households - if you don't supply food and grass, we will use the pretext of suppressing bandits to stay and cause chaos in Minggang.

Provide food and grass honestly, and we will leave tomorrow.

"I understand, I'll do it now."

Shi Chang responded and left happily.

After a while, a soldier captain under Jiang Deshan broke in.

The captain was a fool who wanted to make meritorious deeds. When they met, he asked: "Master, when are we going to kill that red lady?"

Jiang Deshan said impatiently: "What kind of suppression? Do you know where she went?"

The captain said: "I asked, and the people in the town said they went along the official road to Xingji. They transported so much food, and they couldn't move fast. We may be able to track them down now."

"and then?"

"Then we killed them." The captain said matter-of-factly.

"Kill you!" Jiang Deshan picked up the porridge bowl and wanted to hit the captain. "Liu Xicai had five hundred soldiers, but more than three hundred were wiped out in one battle. We only have more than a hundred soldiers, what should we use to kill them? Give them away. ah!"

"You don't care about Madam Red and those bandits?" the captain asked in disbelief, "I asked, they have robbed thousands of stones of food, and also kidnapped thousands of refugees!"

Jiang Deshan wanted to hit the captain with the porridge bowl again, but considering that the captain came from a wealthy family in the city, the porridge bowl was not smashed after all.

He had to explain patiently, "Even if we want to take care of it, we have to wait until we go back and report the situation here to the governor, who will then report it to Fucheng and let the soldiers from Fucheng come to suppress it.

Besides, if the red lady hadn't taken many refugees hostage, she might have been able to wander around for a few months.

But with thousands of refugees, how long can the thousands of stones of food she grabbed last? After this summer, as long as she didn't capture another town and get food and grass, she would be finished. "

"What if they capture other towns?" Captain Hanhan argued.

Jiang Deshan rolled his eyes and said: "Wherever it is breached, it is the responsibility of the defenders. As long as it is not a state city, it has nothing to do with us!"

Then he softened his tone and said: "Don't you always want to make meritorious deeds? We have made a lot of merit in driving away the bandits in Minggang. As long as you are honest and obedient, you will be indispensable in repaying the merit."

Captain Hanhan was confused and thought: Were we the ones who drove away the Minggang bandits? Why don't I know?

···

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Sheng led the last grain transport team to Dashui Pingzhai.

Nowadays, more than 5,000 people who migrated with Liu Sheng and Lady Hong are staying in Dashui Ping Village. Even though the village is quite large, it seems a bit crowded with the people in the village.

Tents were scattered everywhere, and more people were lying out in the open.

It seems that the atmosphere inside and outside the Walled City is not very good.

The most important thing is that after many people came to Tianmu Mountain, they really understood the situation in Tianmu Mountain, and no matter how they thought about it, they felt that the plan of reclaiming wasteland in the mountain was unreliable.

Without a secure future life, people will inevitably feel uneasy.

Even Lady Hong, who had trusted Liu Sheng eighty-nine points before, felt unsure.

No, Liu Sheng just got off his horse outside the west gate of the Walled City, and a red lady in red came out to greet him.

She said very directly: "Master Liu, there is no need to go in. While it is still early, take me to see the 'treasure land' you mentioned."

Liu Sheng smiled after hearing this, "Why, are you doubting the authenticity of the treasure land again?"

"It's not that I doubt you, but everyone thinks that Tianmu Mountain is not suitable for farming."

Liu Sheng didn't explain any more and said, "Okay, let's go."

Liu Sheng handed the horse to Yang Kuiwu and took the red lady to Liujiazhai. What follows is basically a mountain road. With the two people's skills, walking is much faster than riding a horse.

About an hour later, the two arrived at Liujiazhai.

Liu Sheng's original planned village only occupied a few dozen acres, and its walls had already been built.

The inside and outside are fixed with logs in rows, and the middle is rammed with earth. It was originally one foot high and five feet wide.

During the time Liu Sheng left, everyone in the village felt that it was not safe enough, so they raised the height to one and a half feet - this was already the height limit of the village wall. If possible, the villagers might want to continue to raise the height.

Also for safety, everyone began to build an outer wall along the edge of the slope.

If this outer wall is repaired, the Liujiazhai area will be expanded to more than 200 acres.

It's just that it's difficult to build a wall on the edge of the slope, and the villagers want to build the outer wall higher and wider. In the past month, they can only build part of the foundation.

When the villagers saw Liu Sheng, they all showed joy. If Ma Jinshui hadn't come back to deliver the news about Liu Sheng a few days earlier, I'm afraid many people would be anxious.

"Master!"

"My boss is back!"

"···"

The villagers put down their hands and greeted Liu Sheng with a smile.

Zhou Maohua and several other stewards came out to welcome him.

The red lady followed behind and watched, and it could be seen that Liu Sheng had a high prestige in the village and was very popular.

But the village is too small and there are too few people.

Compared with some large villages, such as the small-town-like Dashuiping Village, there are indeed not many people living in Liujiazhai. There are only about twenty households recruited by Liu Sheng from Maojiaji, and among them there are ten young people. Soldiers in North America.

Then there are the ten households that moved from Xifen Ridge and the ten households that moved from Dashui Pingzhai.

In total, there are only more than a hundred people.

Unfortunately, Liujiazhai was built very small, and some people had already moved to build houses outside the village wall.

The red lady originally thought that Liujiazhai was not small. Even if the "treasure land" mentioned by Liu Sheng was not worthy of the name, she could still lead her team and the refugees to rely on Liujiazhai for repairs and spend this summer.

Now it seems that I have given up the idea.

Her expectations for the "treasure land" are getting lower and lower - if there is a treasure land suitable for large-scale reclamation, why would Liu Sheng build Liujiazhai here?

Liu Sheng inspected the area and saw that in addition to the heightening of the village wall, more than a dozen wooden houses were built inside and outside. Dozens of acres of vegetable land were cultivated nearby, and the vegetables planted had sprouted. He couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Then he called the red lady to go to the mountain path leading to the cave.

"Where are we going?" asked the red lady.

"Where else can we go, of course, to see the treasure."

While talking, Liu Sheng was thinking that now that he had enough manpower, this mountain road should be repaired.

Otherwise, ordinary people have to be careful when walking to avoid falling and getting injured. The most important thing is that it is inconvenient to transport supplies.

Manual digging of mountain roads is too slow, and the construction of Liujiazhai and North American camps also needs to be accelerated. Now that there are thousands of people, cement may be fired.

Liu Sheng had made preparations for the end of the world, and naturally he also made some preparations for the resumption of production, such as the three famous sacred books "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual", "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents", "Militia Training Manual", and other records Books on various technologies, and even a large amount of hard drive data.

Cement firing is such an important technology, so he naturally included it.

By the time Liu Sheng's thoughts returned, he had brought the Red Lady to the cave.
