It rained for three days in a row in the Beiyuan military village, and the grass and trees on the mountain quickly withered and turned yellow.

Li Kou stood outside the courtyard of his house, looking at the village shrouded in smoke curtains, and felt a little uneasy.

In the past few days, the Jingsai thieves have not sent people to attack and disturb, and they have not been seen when the grain guards pass by. I'm afraid there's a bigger conspiracy.

He planned to go down the mountain before it was dark.

At this moment, the training team ran up from the bottom of the mountain.

Li Kou looked carefully, the team of 120 people was divided into 24 groups, eight teams, the group had a captain, and the team had a team leader, assembled under the control of Hu Dalang, and they were usually scattered, and each team was leading the patrol.

The armament is also good, each group of five people, the captain holds a hand knife, a spear, and a gong and a trumpet, and there are two sword and axe men under it, each holding a simple knife and axe, and in addition to the two, there are two people holding shields, which can be regarded as covering the knife and axe men and the team is attacking.

A team of fifteen people, all equipped with the same equipment.

In this way, one team has three groups, and three teams become one.

There are two teams in addition to the two, and this is a carefully selected elite.

Hu Dalang was born in the army and polished the two teams finely.

They were able to wear bows and arrows, which were approved by the Weizhou Yamen.

Otherwise, the people will be killed if they dare to hold bows and arrows.

The two teams are not close, they just draw bows and shoot arrows.

They are equipped with fast boots, leather armor, a bow and a pot of arrows, a knife, a spear, and a hand card, a group of three, can attack each other alternately, and are the main force in the military fortress.

In addition to these 120 people, there is also a grain protection team taken over by Yang Niangzi outside the mountain.

There were a lot of them, and now there were probably two or three hundred of them, and at present there were no horses and had to go with the carts, and the equipment was slightly worse than that of the archers, after all, they could not carry bows and arrows.

But they can be equipped with cloth armor, and if they have the financial resources, they can fully equip all the horses.

Li Kou looked at the archers running over from the road, and thought of the defense strategy of the military village where all the people were soldiers.

He didn't mention the children's group or the women's group, but Zhu Wen knew what to do when he heard him say that all the people were soldiers.

When the women work, they also carry warning equipment with them.

The children have not even started school, and they all carry horns when they run around the mountains during the day.

Even the old people in the village have taken action, which can be regarded as the best they can do so far.

Li Kou always felt that this was not enough.

He also needs to build another army.

In the name of it, it is to escort grain and grass.

This will certainly be a burden on him, but if he does not take the opportunity to build up an army, when will he go?

"Let's train well, if you defend the military village, you will also protect the future of more than 1,800 people." Li Kou commanded.

Zhu Wen wore short clothes and carried two iron swords on his back, and asked Hu Dalang to lead the team to the mountain to train the pace first, and ran into the courtyard by himself.

"There is something that needs to be informed to Dalang, the military village yamen will not be established again, but I am afraid that the upper authorities will be held accountable." Zhu Wendao.

Li Kou pointed to his yard and said, "If I use this as a military village yamen, who can say anything bad?" ”

Ha?

Zhu Wen was stunned, how could he use his home as a yamen?

"The military village is very simple, just have a place to work." Li Kou said, "If the thieves don't come, and the civil officials don't come, I guess they are waiting for the yamen to be built, and even if Wenzhizhai can't send it, they have to send a few people who are restrained." There is no hurry in this matter, the military village has been established, and even if they have all kinds of difficulties, we have 10,000 excuses. ”

Only then did Zhu Wen understand Li Kou's reluctance to establish a yamen, and he was worried that the civil officials would send someone to pick peaches.

He said worriedly: "The main reason is that we have been on the mountain for nearly a month, but I am afraid that they will deliberately find out if it is wrong." ”

Of course, you will deliberately find out if it is not.

Li Kou didn't tell Zhu Wen about his plans.

Only let him hurry up and train out of the team.

Take the military village into your own hands first, and no one can snatch it away, which is your own.

Li Kou said: "I went down the mountain, there happened to be some puzzled Zhang Shi to ask for advice, if there is any information, I will bring it back to discuss with you, after the weather is fine today, the whole village should not go to the edge of the cliff, in addition, the cattle I entrusted Miss Ma to buy, should also be able to bring back, before the winter, we need to open up at least 1,000 acres of land - can you know the terraces?" ”

Zhu Wen actually knew that he already had some experience in mountain development in this era.

It's just not named Terrace.

"It is indeed a good way to store water and nutrients and prevent crops from being washed away, but it requires more manpower, and I am afraid that it will take a while for the whole village to work together." Li Kou said, "Also, don't throw away the cut grass, don't burn it, all of it is concentrated in one field, and in the next year, the fertilizer will be all up to you." In addition, I have a 'health plan' for the whole village, you can look closely. ”

After entering the door, Li Kou's plan to take the handwritten book was handed to Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wenzan said: "Da Lang's words have already entered the house." ”

"Paint the tiger according to the cat." Li Kou waved his hand and said, "For the sanitation of the whole village, I only have one requirement, that is, it must be clean. In addition, in these days, infectious diseases are too common - you only treat them as smallpox and the like - and the danger of not doing a good job of hygiene and cleaning is more than fifty percent. At this time, you discuss with the families in the village, and before the establishment of the military village yamen, a special person will supervise it. When the yamen is established, this is the position to be written into the roster. The deacons in the village, the first one is the chief bookkeeper, which is your responsibility. The second is the training of soldiers and horses, and Hu Dalai is in charge. The third is the health officer, who is in charge of both the Langzhong and the hygiene, and the stakes are very high, so you should not take it lightly. ”

Zhu Wen said strangely: "How can this be done?" ”

"Listen to me, if you don't obey, there is a law of punishment, choose a reliable, upright person who is willing to do this, preferably a woman." Li Kou said.

Zhu Wen was shocked: "How can you let a woman ......?"

"What are you worried about? If you can be an official, you are naturally an official, you can't do it, you can do things in the dark first, all the treatment is comparable to you and the tiger, I personally pay the salary, and the court does not do it. Li Kou said, "You have to pay attention to these three things, if I go out to study or fight in the future, the village will be handed over to you." ”

Zhu Wen hesitated again and again, sighed and recommended the two to Li Kou.

"Da Lang, do you remember, I still have a brother?" Zhu Wen asked.

Li Kou smiled and said, "The old lady often talks to me. ”

Zhu Wen's wife will come up to help clean up if she is fine, Li Kou is friendly with her, and she also talks about some family matters, but she doesn't know where Zhu Wen's younger brother is.

Zhu Wendao: "My brother, a few days ago, I accidentally learned from the mouth of the homeless people in Guanzhong that he actually fell into the grass in Shaohua Mountain, Huayin County, and there were dozens of minions under him. ”

Li Kou asked in surprise, "But the Divine Machine Master Zhu Wu?" ”

"Da Lang also knows?" Zhu Wen said suddenly, "The family is unfortunate, he actually fell into the grass......"

"Think of a way to recruit me." Li Kou was overjoyed and said, "With such a person, we naturally have to recruit them." ”

"This matter is not easy, since the younger brother has fallen into the grass, the government will naturally file it." Zhu Wen relaxed slightly, Li Kou did not reject it, that is also a good thing, but he also had someone to introduce, "I met a person among the homeless people, surnamed Sun, named An, also a native of Jingyuan, has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, twenty miles away, good at making two iron swords, very brave and good at fighting, and has read military books, and is good at gathering people, if he gets him, there will be hundreds of elites in the village, and there will be a good general!" ”
