Niushou Mountain, located in the south of Jiankang Mansion, east of Banqiao Town, north of Cuiping Mountain, south of Zutang Mountain, surrounded by induction spring, Hupao Spring, White Turtle Pond, Tushi Rock, Wenshu Cave, Bizhi Cave, Hanxu Pavilion, Diyong Spring, Drinking Horse Pond and other places, because the north and south peaks of the top of the mountain are like horns and get the name.

Hongjue Temple Tower, located on the southwest slope of the eastern peak of Niushou Mountain, was built in the ninth year of the Tang Dynasty. The body of the tower has a total of seven layers, about ten zhang high, is octagonal, and is made of blue bricks. The temple, which used to be full of incense, is now empty, and not only are there no tourists and pilgrims, but even the monks in the temple are nowhere to be seen.

"Li Shiyi, I've been lying here for a few hours, and there aren't any birds, isn't it time to change you?" In the narrow room on the seventh floor of the top of the tower, a forbidden soldier was lying in front of the window and holding a telescope to look out, muttering incessantly.

"Don't be noisy, you stared at it from early morning to noon, how long did you and his grandmother watch it, carefully, if someone misses the past, Lao Tzu's big stick can't kill you." Li Shiyi was covering his head with Fan Yangli, leaning on the inner wall and pretending to sleep, and shouted angrily when he heard the words.

"Isn't it just a small team, just in charge of a few people, just like Lao Tzu to be a big-tailed wolf, treat Lao Tzu, what is this?" The forbidden army, who was babbling a lot, suddenly noticed that the image in the mirror was unusual, and quickly adjusted the knob with his hand to try to see more clearly.

The image in the mirror slowly became clearer, and a group of cavalry appeared in the field of vision, with strange symbols painted on the banners, and the appearance of felt hats and leather robes looked like Tartars. Li Shiyi got up when he heard this, grabbed the telescope and looked there, his face slowly became solemn.

"Good girl, I'm afraid that there will be no less than thousands of riders, hurry up and go back to the city from the back mountain." Li Shiyi looked at it for a moment, and then said categorically.

"Why don't you report it on the spot, and the microphone on your body doesn't flash?" The forbidden army asked in a low voice, Li Shiyi didn't speak, only nodded, and the two quickly packed their things, slipped down the tower, and ran towards the back door of the temple. The walkie-talkie on their team has not been charged for a long time, so it has long been unable to turn on.

The resettlement area for the hungry at Xiajiang Bridge is still like a construction site, and craftsmen and people are installing the color steel parts that have been transported. More than 100 buildings in the area of Qiaotou were assembled in the early stage, each building was divided into two rooms, and a total of more than 200 hungry families were accommodated.

A slender man carrying a bag of things knocked on the door of a colored steel room, and it was a woman who opened the door, looked at the man with godless eyes, let him into the room, and then quickly closed the door.

"Mom, how are you doing today?" The man leaned the bag against the corner, lifted the corner of his coat and wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at the innermost bunk in the room.

"Well, after Lao Langzhong saw it yesterday, his mother's cough was much lighter, but the medicine was too expensive, and there was nothing at home to change." The woman's voice was weak, but her eyes scanned the empty room.

Their family of three was the lucky one among the hungry, and they became the first people to move into the Caigang prefabricated house, like most families, because they came from Majiadu, the most marginal part of Jiankang Province. However, all the way away, almost empty-handed.

The brand new room had only two bunks, no beds, no fire pits, no kitchen utensils, not even running water pipes. Only on one side was a stove made of clay, on which was the only belongings in the house, an iron pot.

However, the man's eyes couldn't stop smiling, and although the house was not big, it was very strong. I thought that the government would build a shed at most for them to protect from the rain, but I never thought it would be so expensive, so I took out the card called the "temporary residence permit" that I treasured in my arms, and looked at the bright red prefect's seal on it, and the man was like a dream.

"Big brother, where did you get this rice grain, so much, didn't you do something stupid." The woman was taken aback when she saw the man open the bag full of rice, and her face, which had not had much blood, turned even whiter.

"I went to join the army, this is the effect of the army, and it will be every month in the future, you will cook some in a while, and when my mother wakes up, I will feed her some." The man grabbed a handful and watched the rice slip from his fingers, shining brightly.

"How can you not have a thorn in the army?" The woman stared at his face in disbelief.

"I don't know, a certain person is a village brave, just helping to defend the city, and it will be disbanded when it is over, and it will be a thorn. How many of our children have gone to our more than 100 families, and two of the three sons of the Wang family next door have gone. ”

"But there is only one man in our family, who is in danger of fighting, what if there is a good guy and calls me and my mother?" When the woman heard this, she really joined the army, and she was in a hurry, and she fled to this Jiankang City to avoid the war, but she never thought that she still had to defend the city.

"It's okay, the top ones are all forbidden troops, which round to get our newly recruited villagers, the left just do the heavy work of moving and lifting, even if you really want to go to the city wall, you will be careful."

The man didn't care, but the woman was terrified, but she also knew that her man was for the family. It is difficult to find work in Jiankang City, and the family who could only farm has long had no financial resources, so they didn't say much at the moment, but hugged him silently.

On the large school field in the southwest of the city, there are many people at this moment, several people line up in a long line, and there is a big flagpole on the side of the school field, on which the word "recruitment" is written. The paperwork in front of the desk registered the qualified people into a book, and then issued a bag of rice, and the soldier who had just become a village warrior carried the bag and walked out of the school in an endless stream in the envious eyes of everyone.

Yuan Hong, who was standing on a high place, looked at this qiē with a frown, most of the people who came to join the army now were hungry people who had just entered the city, and they were generally not tall. These peasants, who had just laid down their hoes, had not had time to train too much, and they were about to face a fierce battle to defend the city, and only God knows how many of them would survive in the end.

"How many have you recruited?" A clerk hurried over, and he asked without looking back.

"As of now, there are a total of 1,735 people recorded in this volume in a certain hand, and looking at the situation outside, I am afraid that there will be no less than 3,000 people today." The clerk flipped through the booklet in his hand and reported the number to Yuan Hong.

"Well, don't have an only son in the family, and leave the youngest one to others if you have many sons, don't just make more moves. The instructions were clear, and they returned to the camp immediately after sending the rice and grain home, and from now on they were already village soldiers. "There is no other way but to seize this time, and one more moment of training may result in one less death in the future.

"I made it clear to them that everything was clear, and they nodded before they pressed their handprints, and they didn't dare to come nonsense." After listening to the words, Yuan Hong waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and he also walked out of the school field and rode to the north of the city, where the military camp was located.

is not what the men think, Liu Yu ordered to recruit these villagers, mainly to supplement the losses of the forbidden army defending the city in the future, and secondly, to find a way out for the redundant people in the city, it is always good to let them have nothing to do, so it is easy to have an accident.

According to his idea, all the grain will no longer be sold directly for money, but will be exchanged for labor by the people. Men can join the army and carry heavy loads, women can do laundry, cooking, and do light things, and even the elderly and children will be paid according to their work as long as they can.

In this way, not only can the people get food, but also effectively stabilize the rising prices in the city, and once the city is besieged in the future, money or anything will be useless. For the profiteers who figured out Guò Tun to accumulate Juqi to make a fortune in the country, Liu Yu has no time to take care of them for the time being, but it does not mean that he will let them go.

However, Liu Yu's plan was not fully implemented, and his plan to build a women's field care camp was rejected. Even Wang Lixin, who has always supported him unconditionally, rejected him very simply this time, letting his own women serve men he didn't know, which is still unacceptable in this society.

Helpless, he could only change the woman to a larger boy, and the stretcher team modeled after the later generations had also been established, and the non-stop propaganda of the loudspeaker in the city made the people in the city very enthusiastic about signing up, and for a while, even the figure of the ruffians was much less.

"In March, the pear blossoms are full of branches,

People in love meet after dusk.

Ah Mei held Lang's hand tightly,

I don't know how to say a thousand words.

Lang said that he envied the high-flying birds,

A good man is determined to reach the end of the world in all directions.

Since I was a child, I wanted to wear a mandarin duck jacket,

Hang the brocade and return to his hometown, and he will not hesitate to struggle for his life.

Ah Mei said that although you go in style,

Even if you wait for your whole life to be white-headed.

It's hard to give up, and you have to part with your hands,

Defending the family and the country is a real big husband.

In March, the pear blossoms are full of branches

Looking at the starry sky in the distance, the crescent moon is like a hook.

Don't know when to hold hands again,

May love last forever"

The lyrics were shamelessly plagiarized by Liu Yu from the Internet of later generations, which bluntly made the literati scold the vulgar, but the familiar Jiangnan minor tune made ordinary people feel more cordial, and even the illiterate military men straightened their waists when they heard it.
