With a bang, Chen Changping picked up a big hammer, knocked down a large piece of a big stone that was more than half a person high in front of him that had been barbecued by the fire for more than an hour, and then hammered it like rain, and knocked it into a small stone that was not much bigger than a baby's fist.

They're building roads.

After renovating the safe place, this is a new task given to them by Li Ze, to build a road to connect with his Zhuangzi, this is not a small project, they here, there is a small ten miles away from Li Ze's Zhuangzi, even if they are all dispatched, there are only a thousand people, and it is estimated that they will not be able to finish it at all this winter.

"Why do you want to build a road to get out, it's not that there was no road before?" Chen Changfu swung a shovel and filled a basket of shovels, and said dissatisfiedly: "In the winter, this surnamed Li is tossing us." ”

Chen Chang straightened up and looked at the busy crowd in front of him.

Men, women, and children go into battle together, everyone is busy, and no one cheats and cheats, because there is no chance. Li Ze sent special personnel to supervise their work, more than 1,000 people, except for the dolls, the rest of them were divided into groups, what each group did, how to do it, and to what extent, were clearly stipulated. There are even clear regulations on how far you can do it every half day, and if you can't do it, the corresponding penalties will follow. If the specified amount is exceeded, the reward will follow.

Now this village, which was just named Qingshantun by Li Ze, is still eating a big pot of rice! And all this food is provided by Li Ze, and the punishment and reward are very simple, that is, the difference between having food to eat and not having food. After only one short day, everyone figured out the gap between them, and they did the work quickly without anyone talking.

And he, now the foreman here, takes these people to work.

Chen Changping found that he couldn't understand what kind of person Li Ze was at all, he asked himself to go south and north, and he could be regarded as well-informed, but when he faced Li Ze, he found that this person was like a thick layer of fog, which made him look at flowers in a fog, and he couldn't have an intuitive understanding of him at all.

At the beginning, he thought that Li Ze was an official under the Chengde Jiedu envoy, although he was younger, but for these noble children, age was never a problem. But after staying in Zhuangzi for a few days, he found that it was not the case at all, and Li Ze seemed to be a small rural landlord.

If he is a country tycoon, but the local government is obedient to this person, almost a dog in front of him, what Li Ze says, that's what, in a short time, he has already seen Wuyi's county order to go to Li Ze's Zhuangzi twice.

This man is not an official, but he is better than an official.

What's more, this man has a pretty powerful armed force. The army that surrounded them and finally forced him to surrender disappeared without a trace after they came out of the mountain, and there was no shadow to be seen again, but some of the officers who led this army, many of whom had been seen on Zhuangzi, but at that time, they took off their armor and put on the same green clothes and servant clothes as he was.

He was particularly shocked to see Li Ze training the farmers in the Zhuangzi. Six or seven hundred sturdy peasants, under the command of those guards, advanced and retreated in a measured manner, like a well-trained army, if he had such a team at that time, when facing Liu Chenglin, he would not be completely powerless to fight back.

But when he saw the food that Li Ze provided to these farmers, he was depressed again. Even if he had the time and space to train the farmers at the beginning, where did he get so much food and meat to feed these farmers one by one? If there was all this food, why did the peasants rebel with him?

Thinking about the sturdy farmers he saw on Li Ze's Zhuangzi, and then looking at the lean farmers who were working in the wind and snow in front of him, Chen Changping suddenly understood what Li Ze seemed to be saying to him unintentionally one day.

"The military horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."

His four brothers are now divided into two shifts by Li Ze, one shift every ten days, when two of them are here to lead people to work, the other two are on duty in the outer courtyard of Zhuangzi, and the head of the guard, Tu Lichun, did not treat them specially, but instead arranged for each of them to be a captain and train with those farmers.

And this is what makes Chen Changping the most puzzled.

Because in addition to training with these farmers, as one of the guards in the Zhuangzi and one of Li Ze's servants, they would also be opened at night to open a small stove, not only to read and write, but also to learn to lead the troops into battle. And the person who gave the lecture was sometimes Tu Lichun, and sometimes, a person named Shi Zhuang.

The four Chen brothers are illiterate. Although he has a lot of courage and has made a lot of names on the side of Henghai, he is also completely unfamiliar with leading troops to fight, and these small stoves have undoubtedly opened another window for them and made Chen Changping understand a lot of things.

He even regretted that if he had understood these things, he might not have ended up like this. Or he will still lose, but he can definitely do something bigger.

Although I don't understand what Li Ze's purpose is for him like this, but this knowledge is not fake, Chen Changping is like a sponge, desperately absorbing this knowledge, and Chen Changan and Chen Changgui have the same feelings as him, and only the third Chen Changfu in front of him still has resistance, so that Chen Changping has to force him to do things honestly and study.

First, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and second, learning these things is indeed a kind of benefit for them.

Knowledge is not something that can be learned if you want to learn it at this time, and the art of war taught by Tu Lichun Shizhuang is, to a certain extent, a secret that cannot be passed on.

Now that they can learn, they have made a fortune.

Whether it is Tu Lichun or Shi Zhuang, they are definitely not ordinary people, when the two of them were lecturing, some examples they inadvertently cited can prove that they are definitely personal participants, and their status is not low, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a deep understanding, but why did they also become Li Ze's servants?

The longer he stayed in Zhuangzi, the more Chen Changping couldn't understand Li Ze, and unconsciously, he had a fear of Li Ze.

People will always feel inexplicably afraid and afraid of what they don't understand and don't understand.

Tu Lichun or Shi Zhuang, they are far superior to themselves in terms of knowledge, they are not comparable to them at all, and in terms of their proud force, they are not inferior at all, face-to-face fighting, Tu Lichun can completely beat himself without the strength to fight back, that Shi Zhuang is even more terrifying, under his hands, he can't take ten moves.

The only thing I can be proud of is that my archery skills are unmatched. For themselves, a hundred steps are just the beginning, and for them, it is a big problem.

It is precisely because of this archery skill that he has gained the respect of these two.

Hammer down again, Chen Changping looked at the flying rubble, and some numbers suddenly flashed in his mind, the soldiers he saw in the mountains in those days, plus these well-trained farmers in Zhuangzi, Li Ze's subordinates actually had an elite army of thousands of people, which made him terrified.

What kind of person is Li Ze?

Wielding a hammer, the question is always circling in my head.

Now his authority among these people has plummeted, and everyone is more in awe of the guy sent by Li Ze to serve as the head of Qingshan Tuntun, firstly, this person is now in control of everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and secondly, this person is also quite fair. As for Chen Changping and his four brothers, the feelings of these tunmin are now much more complicated.

Without Chen Changping, they would have died, but it was precisely because of Chen Changping that they were displaced, and many relatives died on the road. Here, they suddenly found that they seemed to have a new world, a new life.

As for Li Ze, that is the existence they need to look up to, and for them, this person is a benefactor like a parent. The food they eat, the clothes they wear, the cotton wool they cover at night, and even the land on which they are standing are all given to them by this man.

Chen Changping could clearly feel this, and when Chen Changfu scolded these people for being ungrateful, Chen Changping thought more and understood more.

Of course, this world should be like this, whoever can give them stability, who can give them food, they will naturally support whom, is it possible that they put the good life in front of them, but are they willing to follow themselves to live that kind of precarious and turbulent life?

Who would be that stupid?

Don't look at Li Ze now, it seems that he is desperately squeezing these people to work, but in the eyes of these people, this is giving them a chance to live.

Those who do not work shall not eat.

In fact, these people at the lowest level understand this truth most deeply and understand it most clearly.
