Three months later, the state of Chu was about to come with a series of major battles in the north, grain harvests, and military disasters, which led to the exile of the people. The south was affected by the south, and the royal family of Chu did not care about the life and death of the people, and forcibly conscripted food and soldiers for the needs of the war, which led to the soaring price of grain. And corrupt officials are fishing in troubled waters, and countless ordinary people's families are bankrupt and it is difficult to buy a grain of rice.

Tuller's lodge was in the midst of development at this time.

After a recruitment, a group of literate and well-kept talents entered the villa and became a part of the villa.

Under the direction of Tule, the lodge was divided into two parts: external and internal. Internally, the housekeeping of the villa is mainly arranged, and the original housekeeper is still responsible. Externally, it is divided into several parts, including the Samurai, the workshop, the mine, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Personnel.

After calculation, the harvest of Dule's theft at Manchester City was enough to make millions of people support it for three months. Therefore, in order to protect his industry in troubled times, Du Le decided to continue to recruit strong men in the nursing courtyard and changed his name to Huzhuang Samurai. Huzhuang samurai per 100 people a team, 1,000 people for a group, the number of stable at 3,000 people, the elimination system, every three months for an assessment, physical strength and force of the strong up, the weak down, emphasis on loyalty and discipline, high salary. In addition to the warriors who protect the village, there are also ordinary Zhuang guards, as long as they are strong men with good physical fitness, they are recruited to join the training, and the number is controlled at about 10,000, and the treatment is low. He also trains on weekdays, mainly responsible for guarding mines, farmlands, mountain roads, and patrols.

The workshop, which is mainly responsible for building houses, with a number of about 1,000 people, builds a large number of houses in front of and behind the villa and at the foot of the mountain, so as to accommodate the displaced people who come at any time.

The mine, where the original energy stone veins are located. Independently manage miners and minerals, maintain workers' basic wages, basic food and drink, provide housing, and working hours.

In addition to continuing to grow clover, other crops have also been planted. The fields under the mountain were also bought one by one by various means and cultivated by hand. The Ministry of Agriculture, the department that manages the cultivation.

The Personnel Department is a department dedicated to the registration, recruitment, work arrangement, and accommodation arrangement of mountain village personnel and displaced people.

In the general situation of Jinyang City and other big cities with closed gates and refusal to be homeless, except for a small number of people who have the conditions to flee to neighboring countries, the remaining homeless people have taken action after hearing the news that there is food in the mountain villa. Countless displaced people from the north, and even some of the poor people in the south who lacked food and clothing, rushed to Tule's villa.

Every day, at the intersection of the mountain villa, hundreds or even thousands of people flock to the mountain villa to seek a stable life. The pressure on the lodge suddenly increased. The increase in population has made it more difficult to manage.

Of course, as a merchant, in addition to arranging for the homeless, providing relief to the homeless, and paying gold coins every day for the wages of the armed men of the mountain villages, the mine workers, and the agricultural workers, Du Le would not give up earning gold coins. After all, in addition to grain, there are some meat products, especially fresh pork, fish, which are sometimes bought by Du Le himself at the vegetable market or in the suburban fish ponds. As a result, Du Le sold a limited number of rations at twice the market price before the troubled times. For example, a fish costs two gold coins, and a pound of pork costs one gold coin. Another reason is to accumulate some gold coins, in case there is no extra Chinese dollars, you can use them for emergencies.

At the foot of the mountain. Not far from the mountain gate, a relatively flat settlement covering an area of dozens of square kilometers rises from the ground. This was the first batch of houses that were built by the workshop and began to be put into use. Displaced people who have been registered with the Ministry of Personnel can get a house if they sign a contract of employment at the lodge or pay gold coins.

After three months of development, even the people of many surrounding mountain villages have rushed here to trade daily necessities because the towns are closed from time to time. This settlement was named Xingmin Market by Du Le, and the 2nd, 8th, 12th, 18th, 22nd, and 28th of each month were market days, as well as rest days. The bulletin board in the residence will also post the latest announcements of the villa from time to time. In order to prevent bandits and robbers, outside the Xingmin Market, relying on the mountain walls on both sides, Du Le also ordered the housekeeper to arrange for people to build a civil and engineering mixed wall about five meters high at the entrance to the mountain pass. …,

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the gate of Xingmin Market had not yet opened, and there were already hundreds of people waiting outside the door.

Two doormen stood behind the door, holding a one-meter-long wooden stick in their hands, like a market in the past, waiting for the captain to ring the bell to open the door.

A patrol of about twenty people walked quickly to the gate, and they came to maintain order at the gate. The owner of the village stipulated that all those who do business in the bazaar must behave according to the rules, line up to enter the door, set up a stall in the designated place, and are not allowed to make trouble, otherwise they will be punished.

In the crowd waiting outside the wall, three men in brocade clothes stood on the side of the road and waited together. If Xiao Duocai was here, he would definitely be able to recognize one of them as Huang Daya, the chief catcher of Jinyang City, who often went to the Meiweixuan Noodle Restaurant.

"This villa is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the owner of the villa has built a town under the mountain, bought people's hearts, and accumulated armor, and his heart can be punished." A young man in brocade with a paper fan in his hand pointed to the guards on the earthen wall.

"Your Excellency, you are right! I think the people here are trying to plot," Huang Daya said.

"Be careful!" Another young man in a strong suit with a sword wrapped around his waist patted Huang Daya's shoulder and interrupted him.

"If you spoil the affairs of adults, you will not escape the death penalty."

Huang Daya hurriedly covered his mouth and looked around. The people around were waiting to open the door, but no one paid attention to them. The young man was none other than the third prince of the Chu State, Duan Shen. The young man in the power suit who followed was the first-class guard of the Chu State, Fei Qing. Huang Daya was sent by the prefect of Jinyang City as the retinue and guide of the prince Shen.

The reason why Huang Zishen came to the villa was because an official government reported to the royal family, saying that the number of displaced people in Jinyang City was decreasing, and a mountain villa outside the city seemed to be gathering displaced people, gathering momentum, and there was a fear of abnormality.

In addition, the villa was not very far from Jinyang City, and the royal family's worries suddenly rose, and they decided to go to investigate. Because he happened to come across the bazaar, the prince cautiously asked for an order, and decided to personally lead more than 100 guards to camp twenty miles away from here, and the three of them went into the mountain first to check the situation.

The door opened, the door opened, and the crowd shouted. The crowd surged, and at this time, the prince Shen discovered that the people, who were originally only a few hundred people, had joined a lot of people, about a thousand.

The prince frowned, the door opened, but before he could let go, he saw a group of soldiers with waist knives walking out of the gate, letting the people at the door line up in two rows and enter in an orderly manner.

As a member of the royal family, Prince Shenke has never experienced such a thing as queuing, he has never been lined up by others to welcome him wherever he goes, and which round has he been lined up? But as an ambitious and ambitious prince, he didn't plan to attack, but beckoned Fei Qing and Huang Daya to line up together and hide in the crowd to enter the door.
