There are a total of six acres of land, which basically need to be fenced off, but it is not practical to build it all with bricks.

Shen You and Zhou Ning discussed it and cut some wood to make wooden pillars, sharpened the tops, and surrounded the place tightly.

Li Dazhuang and his gang also arrived at this time, followed by Shen Zhong, Shen Xin and Shen Shi.

Originally they were supposed to go to the town today, but all the private schools in the town were closed, so they came back, thinking that since they had nothing to do, they might as well come up and help.

"Dad, take Uncle Dazhuang and the others to cut down trees. Don't just cut down trees in one place. Try to cut down trees in every place equally." Shen You instructed.

"Okay." Shen Shi didn't even ask the reason, because he knew Shen You had a plan and time was precious.

Next, Shen You asked Shen Yi to take his team to wait for the trees to arrive and then cut them.

Zhou Ning said to the female workers, "Sisters-in-law, please work hard. Youzi will take you to the designated location to dig a hole. Aunts, follow me to renovate the site. If bandits come, I'm afraid you will have to stay here for who knows how long. This place is not suitable for long-term residence."

Zhou Ning thought that the aunts were older after all, and should be more adept at this kind of thing.

Ji Jinshu, who was selling rouge and powder in the market, sent someone to take them away and gave 1,200 taels to Zhou Ning, saying that he would sell them through his own channels, but it could only be this time.

There was nothing left in the rest of the field.

Originally, Zhou Ning thought of putting a table under the bed or a bunk bed to save space, but he was afraid that it was not sturdy or that everyone would not accept it, so he gave up the idea and just went with a dorm bed.

After the site was built, a few more rooms were built. Now, excluding the office, there are a total of eight large rooms, each of which is 100 square meters.

Shen You decided to convert these eight rooms into male and female dormitories.

There are three rooms for men and five rooms for women.

why?

Because there are many children under the age of five in the village, some of whom need to sleep with their mothers, so more female dormitories are needed.

Zhou Ning asked someone to write a sign over the men's dormitory and mark the numbers of the men's dormitories.

Give them to the old man, young man and boy to sleep separately.

If one room is divided into four rooms, about forty people can live in it.

The simple thing was to ask Shen Yi to find two young carpenters to make a wooden bed. No special requirements were required, just that it was sturdy. As for the rest, they would deal with it later, after all, there was a shortage of staff now.

But in the women's dormitory, Zhou Ning felt that they should be more careful because women's physical conditions are worse than men's.

There is no need for a wooden bed, a kang will do.

Speaking of the kang, Zhou Ning watched the master make it from beginning to end, and asked him for his key points. Since the ideas were Zhou Ning's, the master tried to explain as much as he could.

The women's dormitory was divided into two compartments, and Zhou Ning led the aunts to make a kang.

Bricks are needed to make a kang, so Zhou Ning and her aunts first made some earthen bricks, thinking that the weather would be hot and dry, so it would heal quickly.

It would take some time for the earthen bricks to dry, so Zhou Ning took the aunts to find Shen You.

The shape designed by Shen You is circular. Shen You wiped the dirt off his face and said, "Here, here, there, I think we need to set up eight beacon towers? Or what is it called? Observation towers? Anyway, that's the idea. We can observe the enemy at any time."

Zhou Ning wiped the dirt off her face and said, "But this is also dangerous. I don't know who will be willing to do it when the time comes."

"If it really doesn't work, I'll do it, but it's not always necessary. Isn't this the last resort?" Shen You replied.

Zhou Ning responded, but was still worried.

Some sharpened wood has been installed here, which is more than two meters high, and the rest is underground.

Zhou Ning touched the wood and said, "Why do I always feel unsafe?"

"Where do you think needs improvement?" Shen You came forward and asked.

Zhou Ning held up his silver needle and said, "It would be good if there were something piercing hidden here."

"Youzi, let's go to the mountains and find some thorny flowers and plants, transplant them here, and plant them in a circle around the wall. Then, hide arrows inside. Even if those people get in, they will be crippled if not killed." Zhou Ning said.

Shen You smiled evilly, punched her and said, "If you want to talk about bad people, it's you. But, what if I'm led astray by you?"

Then, Shen You hugged Zhou Ning's neck and said affectionately, "If no one marries me in the future, you have to take me."

Qi Ji just arrived and heard what Shen You said.

He thought to himself: No way, you are so good, someone will love you.

Zhou Ning turned her head and saw Qi Ji looking at Shen You.

How should I put it? Qi Ji usually looks as gentle as jade, and his eyes are gentle to everyone he looks at, but the look just now...

Even though Zhou Ning had already treated them as peers after a year of getting along, after all, Qi Ji's behavior was steady and dignified, even more steady than the college student in his previous life, but he still didn't think about it that way.

Qi Ji came over and said with a smile: "Master and Bai Zhao are still arranging some things. They will come back later."

Qi Ji was still dressed in white, but he usually dressed like a scholar with loose-fitting clothes. But today, his clothes looked like riding clothes, with a sword at his waist. At this glance, he looked like a scholar-knight.

When Shen You saw Qi Ji, she said casually, "Hey, Qi Ji, you look... in good shape."

Qi Ji smiled and said, "A Ning's medicine is very good. I also exercise diligently every day. Now my physique is not weak anymore."

Shen You smiled and said, "If you are not weak, then help me with the work. Follow my father and the others to cut down trees."

Qi Ji just smiled and responded, then went to chop down the tree.

Shen You and Zhou Ning asked the female workers to continue digging holes, while they went to dig out the thorny plants while there was still some light in the day.

Zhou Ning also asked Shen You to wear thick gloves, after all, she was not familiar with them, to avoid hurting her.

While digging, he introduced what these plants are.

In the end, Zhou Ning and Shen You returned carrying two full baskets of plants.

Shen You accompanied Zhou Ning in planting seriously.

When Qi Ji and Shen Shi came back from chopping trees, they saw Shen You fiddling with the thorny plants and said anxiously, "Youzi, let me do this so I don't hurt you...you."

Shen You said without even looking up: "It's okay, I have gloves, it won't hurt me."

"What are you doing this for?" Seeing that he couldn't stop Shen You, Qi Ji simply asked to find out.

Shen You smiled and said, "It was our An Ning who came up with this idea. Just plant some of these plants here and put some arrows there. Even if the thieves try to climb down, they will fall half to death."
