The new bandits were all confused, and they watched Jin Lan and them happily digging in the river one by one, and then made bricks from the silt, and then exchanged the number of bricks for bullets.

Ten bricks, only in exchange for one bullet.

When they saw this, they didn't feel anything, but the moment Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng got a bullet, their faces were filled with happy smiles!

Aren't you all bandit leaders, why are you so happy to get a bullet!

Seeing that this group of people dug the river wider and wider, the riverbed was originally just a ditch formed by the diversion of a small river, but now the river is getting wider and wider, and it is about to become a big river.

Originally, the displaced people were worried that when the spring flood came, the canal would burst due to the rise of the riverbed, which would definitely affect the crops.

And now they are not worried at all, and there is nothing to be afraid of in the spring flood......

In the river, Jin Lan and the others were loaded with bullets in their trouser pockets, and the bullets rattled in their pockets, and the new bandits were frightened by this strange scene: "Are these people being decapitated......

After Jin Lan finished the little work at hand, he called the new bandits together and told them what they were going to do, what they could get in exchange for bricks, and what long-term plans they had for the future, such as their plan to build ten small houses after the spring flood came, and then in the summer......

The bandit listened stunned, and said in his heart, is this still a bandit?

Then Jin Lan got to the main point: "Do you know who is in charge of this, you think you are unlucky to be caught, but I tell you, this is lucky." ”

While talking, Jin Lan chattered endlessly, and the group of bandits looked at Jin Lan for a while, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin for a while, and their eyes gradually became confused.

At this time, there is no need for Ren Xiaosu to do anything, Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng can settle everything for him, and he and Yang Xiaojin only need to reduce casualties at the beginning.

A wave of bandits came over, and then came to join the brick-burning army, digging silt to make bricks during the day, and carrying discipline at night, and living a very fulfilling life......

The spring flood is coming as scheduled, everyone can feel that the water in the ditch is getting bigger and bigger, and they can often catch fish, and now this fish is bitten by everyone, if it weren't for their large number of people, it would be really difficult to clean up.

More and more firewood was accumulated on the shore to dry, and there were also whole tree trunks that had been washed away by the upstream floods.

The displaced people in the settlement also helped to build some temporary mud houses for them, as well as two small brick kilns.

The bandits helped the homeless people dig canals and rivers, and the homeless people reciprocated for a small favor.

At this time, the homeless people were no longer afraid of bandits, and everyone was like a villager in a small village.

A homeless person found Ren Xiaosu and said, "Big brother, let's start burning bricks, otherwise when the first rain falls, many of the bricks we made before will be destroyed." ”

"Okay!" Ren Xiaosu agreed, at this time, a large piece of bricks had been laid out, which seemed to be enough to build more than ten houses.

Burning bricks is not a particularly difficult technical job, just put the bricks into the kiln, close the door of the earthen kiln, and wait for the firewood.

Naturally, the bandit who understands the matter of adding water to cool down in the middle will do it.

The bricks are divided into red bricks and green bricks, and this silt clay contains iron, which is completely oxidized during the firing process to form ferric oxide, which is red bricks.

If the iron is not completely oxidized during the firing process, it is a green brick.

The brick kiln built by Ren Xiaosu has a roof and is impermeable to oxygen, so all the bricks are burned.

"How many days does this brick have to be burned?" Ren Xiaosu, the bandit who burned the bricks.

"Our kiln is small, and we only burn more than 20,000 bricks at a time, and it is estimated that it will be burned in ten days, but there is time to add water to cool down, and it will take two more days," the bandit explained: "It takes nearly 2,000 bricks to build a house of more than 20 square meters, and there are more than ten in this kiln." ”

The bandits were excited to think that they would soon be living in a brick and stone house.

After all, most people here have never lived in a brick house in their lives, and in the market town, the brick and stone house is a status symbol......

"Okay," Ren Xiaosu said to the displaced people in the settlement, "You can divide some people to come and guard it, and when the bricks are burned, I can build you a few houses." ”

Jin Lan muttered in a low voice: "Why do we burn bricks and build houses for them." ”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Jin Lan hung his head and ran, he shouted to the brothers to get more bricks before the rainy season came, now the number of bandits on their side has reached more than four hundred, work thieves quickly!

But just a few days after drying, the sky was overcast, which made Jin Lan and Zhang Yiheng feel distressed: "Hurry up, rescue the bricks with me, and carry all the dried bricks to the earthen house for me!"

About halfway through the rescue, a drizzle of rain fell over the wasteland like muslin.

"Bad luck," Jin Lan said as she hid under the eaves, "It's not early or late, but it's time to do it." ”

"Captain, can we go inside the house to take shelter from the rain," one of the bandits muttered quietly.

At this time, the house was full of bricks, and there was no place for anyone to stay, Jin Lan glared at him when he heard this: "You went in to shelter from the rain, where did you put the bricks?!" These are all bricks that the big guy worked hard to press, can they be wasted?"

The bandits are pouting, and now this is not as good as bricks......

A large group of people, squatting outside a pile of mud huts in the rain, guarding the bricks inside......

Jin Lan muttered: "The eldest brother still has to build a house for those homeless people, and I don't know what the plan is, our brother is not enough to live." ”

"What's the captain, are you complaining about the big brother?" someone whispered.

"I didn't complain," Jin Lan pouted: "I can see that those two are indeed different from those big people in the barrier, those big people look down on us from the bottom of their bones, these two are not, have you ever seen a consortium big man who can dig mud in the ditch like us? ”

"What do you mean, Captain?"

"I just don't think it's worth it, why can those homeless people live without pressing a single brick," Jin Lan said with a scolding grin.

"The brick kiln was built by someone," someone muttered quietly.

Jin Lan glared at him: "You talk a lot." ”

However, at this moment, a number of homeless people came in the rain, and they shouted at Jin Lan: "Don't get drenched in the rain here, go to our house to take shelter from the rain, we have discussed it over there, you can go to whoever you want to take shelter from the rain, there must be enough place." There is still some hot soup at home, you can drink some to warm up. ”

Jin Lan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Hey, okay, come here!"

A bandit next to him whispered, "Captain, aren't we still angry because of building a house?"

"Who said I'm angry?" Jin Lan stiffened her neck: "The fellow is so good to us, what's wrong with building a few houses for others? We have to have the pattern of the eldest brother, you know, be a little more atmospheric! The rain has stopped to build houses for the fellows!"
