Chapter 19: Brainstorming and Construction

This is a boundary about ten miles wide, about twenty miles away from Wu Shangui's lair, in the southern direction, and now more than 30,000 captives are temporarily imprisoned here.

After the panic of being captured, it was quiet now, and there was a heated discussion going on somewhere in the crowd. From time to time, someone next to me joins in and asks, really? So good or something, the voice is full of yearning.

Of course, he was my fellow countryman, and he told me, a triumphant voice replied. Lao Li, you talk about it again, I didn't hear it clearly just now, and another voice said, let's talk about it.

Okay, the one called Lao Li replied; I'll tell you! The king of the mountain intends to build a city here, and the men are those of us; Don't talk yet, waved his hand to interrupt someone who wanted to pick up the stubble, and continued: Eat and live, don't send silver for the first month, hair and clothes, that's it, said and patted the clothes on his body.

There was a coax, and people kept asking, really? How good. Someone else said, how can such warm clothes be still haired, your fellow countryman won't lie to you!

Lao Li waited until someone finished asking before he said; Don't you look at what the guards are wearing, and know what they did before, and tell you that they were also officers and soldiers before.

Defeated and captured before us, he said, pointing to the road not far away; Seeing that road, they built it. And the wall we fought before was also built by them.

And look at you one by one, that's why I said? Let me tell you! In addition to distributing clothes, how many taels will be paid every month for future work?

It's our bad luck, it's cold now, otherwise we can get the silver after working for a month? But now it's not bad, just the outfit we have on us is not cheap. There is nothing to sell outside, only them, pointing to the guards: they can buy at a low price, and they are not allowed to take out.

Aren't they in a gang? Why do you have to pay for it, another voice said. Look at how fresh this question is, Lao Li said angrily. Who said they were in a gang, they wanted to join, and the king of the mountain didn't want it!

I'll tell you! They are just a group of people who build roads and walls, and we will do the same in the future, building roads and walls every day. can receive three or five taels of silver every month, a small hello in the team of the king of the mountain; It's eight taels a month! During the war, I heard about it twice.

I can eat and drink enough every day, and there are meat examples. I'll tell you! If there are any people who come to teach you to read and write, it is best to learn more, listen to my fellow countryman, the king of the mountain can pick an example! Don't want to know how to read, and build roads honestly.

After speaking, he ignored the crowd, stood up and said; go. Then he walked towards the crowd on the other side, and another person followed him also stood up and said; Let's go together! By the way, tell me about the charter. The same thing is not only here, but also from other groups of people from time to time to issue inquiries or questions, or my fellow villagers and fellow villagers say.

With more than 30,000 captives, it is naturally not something that can be done by being imprisoned, and Wu Shangui has thought of a lot of tricks. urgently trained a group of people, and selected a lot of clever ones from the minions and the more than 3,000 people. The effect! It's okay, you don't have to send most of the people to watch it.

When the captives were building the city, they accidentally discovered a coal mine on the mountain, which was an unexpected favorite. I don't know how old it is, Wu Shangui transferred some more people, and took the small notebook he issued to take a look, not to mention whether it can become a financial road or something, at least solve the problem of keeping warm first.

It is naturally impossible to just build a city when there are enough people, although the first city looks like it is going to be built very large, ten miles long and wide, in fact, it is a reinforcement of the mountains on both sides, and a small section is made up at the gaps in some easily accessible mountains. Mainly the city walls before and after construction,

Is it all over when the city is built? That's impossible, digging ditches to build houses to divert water, and even digging coal in the future. In short, it is a scene of large-scale construction, which can make the businessmen who come and go happy, and they have asked what to ask when it will be built, and what is the charter now. As for whether there was any trouble, there was still one at the beginning, and after "grabbing" a few batches of people with goods, it was finally gone, after all, people started as bandits.

If you want to say that you won't come in the future, other businessmen are not allowed to die, but the businessmen are very shrewd, as long as they abide by the rules of the king of the mountain, pay the "protection fee" according to the chapter, and earn more than before, don't look at the people in this place are only fifty or sixty thousand, but people are all masters who can take the money to consume.

--------01----------12-----------20--------

More than a month passed, and after the captives received another set of clothes, they worked even harder, if it were not for the total cement production to keep up, the construction of the city had already begun, the foundations and everything had been done, the mountains on both sides had been reinforced, and the interior had been leveled, and these alone had used up the homemade cement.

If the output can't keep up, then expand production, which is easy to solve, not only that, Wu Shangui plans to draw out 20,000 people, carry out a "repair" of the entire canyon, repair the mountain water conservancy, and plan to farm in the future; I have to say that there is no one in this brain hole.

Today, Wu Shangui once again looked at the information sent by the merchants, and had to say that the leader named Zhao Huai was a straw bag to fight, and he still had the "ability" to be an official. What a big defeat turned out to be fine, and I don't know how it passed this time, and now it's rearmament again.

Not only does it plan to draw all the troops from the surrounding areas, but it also plans to draw it from the land south of the Yangtze River, and the latter one is likely to be vetoed, and there is no news yet. But there are a lot of troops in the surrounding area alone, what about hundreds of thousands? This thing seems to be planning to die to the end.

Wu Shangui didn't care about the news in the south, let alone hundreds of thousands, and he didn't care about adding zero. He is now lying on the table thinking about how to build a small hydropower station, equipment or something can be exchanged, and what makes him headache is that no one will manage it!

Wu Shangui once again gathered a group of minions with fast learning speed and more literacy, and then exchanged a batch of equipment and materials. Pointing at them, he said to the minions, "The king plans to build a hydropower station, and these are the materials and equipment." Take it back to study and study, and if you don't understand something, write it down, and ask the king.

After speaking, he wanted to slip away again, but was "stopped" by the minions, and then the minions asked; King, we don't understand now, what is a hydropower station, you can't just throw down the cannon and run away like you did to Battalion Commander Wu last time!
