"This valley is not very large, but it should be able to accommodate a few thousand people!" Cao Yi stood in the original meeting hall of the mountain bandits and looked around the entire valley.

"Well, the key is that there is still a living water source here, so it's much better, as long as you have enough food, you can save a lot of trouble!" Wang Zhiyuan said.

Yun Qing also nodded with deep sympathy, they marched and fought before, and the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, so the most important thing is the water source and grain and grass, now the water source is completely worry-free, then just solve the grain, there is no large land in this valley, so there is no way to grow food self-sufficiently.

You can only rely on transporting food from the outside, but this place is a secret in a secret after all, so it is not good to transport food frequently, if there are too many times, the probability of being discovered by others will rise, and you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. Therefore, even if this valley is used as a secret training base for dust and concealment in the future, this thing must be prepared.

"There is no need to dig the well water here, but the food is a big problem, even if you come to deliver food every other month, but after all, there are more than 1,000 people, and you have to send many cars!" Yun Qing brought up her thoughts.

"You mean you're afraid that you'll notice too much of the shipment and find out?" Cao Yi looked at Yun Qing and asked suspiciously.

Yun Qing nodded: "Well, I'll calculate it with a thousand people first, and the daily consumption of rice alone will be at least five hundred catties, which is only one day, if it is converted into a month's amount, plus other meat and vegetable ingredients, it will be terrible." ”

Cao Yi fell into contemplation when he heard this, indeed, this will be a big problem, after all, this is not like Ziji Mountain Villa and Tianbai Mountain Villa, although it is also hidden, but it can be transported in a carriage openly, after all, these two places have serious wineries, even if they are concerned, it doesn't matter, the villa, isn't it just that people live, since people live, it is very normal to transport food.

But this mountain valley is different, for the outside world, this is purely a mountain mountain, a borderless land with no people, seeing that there are carriages frequently transporting things into it, it is natural to be suspicious, which does not achieve the original intention of the secret base not to be discovered and noticed.

"Actually, this question ......" Cao Yi, who was in deep thought, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Wang Zhiyuan, Yun Qing and Gongye Yuanzhou, and all three of them looked at Cao Yi intently. Although they are also thinking about how to solve this problem, they themselves do not have much hope.

Everyone's hearts still felt that Gongzi would solve this problem perfectly, so as soon as Cao Yi spoke, everyone put down their thoughts and waited for Cao Yi's solution.

"Or go back to what I called the secret escape route." Cao Yi raised his head and looked at everyone.

Wang Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly brightened: "Cao Yi, do you mean to use that secret escape passage to transport food?" ”

After Wang Zhiyuan's prompt, everyone's eyes lit up, and it seemed that this problem could solve the problem that Yun Qing said just now.

After hearing this, Yun Qing at first felt that the problem seemed to have been solved, but then after thinking about it, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said hesitantly: "If this is the case, will it expose our secret escape route instead?" Also, where is the exit of this secret passage better? ”

"My suggestion is that the exit of our escape route should be built about two or three miles from our valley......"

"So long?" Wang Zhiyuan exclaimed.

Cao Yi touched his nose, and he seemed to feel that this escape passage was a bit too long, but he still explained: "Three miles is a bit long, but I still think that two miles is still necessary, so that it can meet the requirements of the secret escape passage and play its due role." ”

"First of all, if it's too close, in fact, if others find that many carriages are frequently pulling things here, then they will definitely search nearby, and if they get closer, they will be exposed." Cao Yi said slowly, everyone nodded, this, Cao Yi was right, and they also agreed.

"Does that Childe mean that the exit of the secret passage is within two miles of the valley?" Yun Qing asked.

"Huh? It's best to hide somewhere, like in a dense forest, or in a small valley, but in order to make the exit more hidden, we can cover it up by building a courtyard for the exit. ”

"Courtyard?"

"Well, it's still the kind of high-gate compound, others can't find it, the entrance to the secret escape passage in our valley must be placed in the secret room of that building, and the exit is also designed in this way, and it is also placed in the secret room, and then surrounded by a courtyard outside, preferably a high-strength deep courtyard, so that a large number of carriages will pull grain into that courtyard, so that there will be many fewer targets to be suspected." Cao Yi patiently explained.

"It's still the child's thoughtfulness...... Gongye Yuanzhou also felt that this seemed to be the most thoughtful and comprehensive way to do so, and said with sincere admiration.

"If it's transporting grain, and the passage is two miles long...... Relying on human ...... It seems to be extremely difficult to do. Wang Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

"Uncle Wang, the passage doesn't need to be too big, as long as people can walk upright, and it's a little smaller than the width of the line, it's fine, because as long as the grain is transported to that courtyard, and then in the passage, we can use a flatbed cart to transfer it." Cao Yi replied with a smile on his face.

Wang Zhiyuan thought about it, it seemed that this was really okay, and he nodded slowly at the moment, agreeing with what Cao Yi said.

"Okay, there shouldn't be any big problems now, right? As for the candidates for digging the passage, the people from the Taibai Secret Camp will take turns, especially those who urgently need to exercise their physical strength and need a stronger body, they can be sent here to dig the soil, and one person can do it for three or four days, five or six days. The excavated soil is first in the valley, and when you see it, you should use it to make some training grounds or dig trenches and other traps, anyway, you can use it flexibly. Cao Yi looked at everyone and said.

Everyone shook their heads, and after thinking about it, there should be no problem.

"That's it, Uncle Wang, Brother Yun, then it's up to you here, as for the transfer of personnel, it's up to you to decide, as for the funds, anyway, there is a lot of silver stored in Ziji Villa, you can use it casually, just don't forget to record it in the accounts, and when the time comes, it's good to reconcile." Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing and said.

The latter two nodded in response, now the hidden place has been found, and it is exactly the middle of Ziji Mountain Villa and Taibai Mountain Villa, and when there is a problem, both places can be rescued.

It can be said that the hardware conditions of this secret base are already very good, and the next thing is to rely on how the two of them establish the two departments of Hidden Killing and Dust Light from scratch.

In the early stage of the concealment killing, just select from the Taibai Secret Guard, the number of people is not too much, a hundred to two hundred people is already enough, and the rest are all used for the intelligence department of Dustlight, and the two departments add up to a thousand people, Cao Yi feels that this is enough. First, build the prototype and framework of these two departments, and let these two departments operate first. If there is still a need for personnel in the future, buy more people at that time.

When everyone was chatting here, the Taibai secret guards under had already returned, all of them had been investigated, and no mountain bandits had been found, it seemed that they had come out to rob Cao Yi before, and they really came out of the nest, no wonder they saw a person who wanted to be a cook, and the weapon he took was also the same as the pig-killing knife, at that time Cao Yi was just a little puzzled, thinking that this person was just more maverick and liked this kind of weird weapon, now that he thinks about it, he is really a cook......

"I'm going back to Purple Mountain Villa today, what about you?" Cao Yi looked at everyone and said.

"I'll go back today, too." Wang Zhiyuan also replied closely, and then looked at Yun Qing and Gongye Yuanzhou.

"Uh......" Yun Qing finally shook his shoulder: "Then Yuanzhou, you can go back too, but I'll stay, after all, someone has to watch here, I'll stay with fifty Taibai Secret Guards, and the rest will go back with you." ”

The others nodded, agreeing with Yun Qing's suggestion, there really can't be no one here.

"When the people at the bottom were looking for the supplies just now, they found that there was not much food here, it was estimated that it was only enough to feed fifty or sixty people for two meals, no wonder the bandits did not flee back to the valley in the afternoon, it turned out that there was no surplus food in it...... So Yunqing, you stay tonight and tomorrow morning to eat, after I go back today, I will arrange for people to come over, and bring the food by the way, and then you and I will stay here and transform this place! Wang Zhiyuan said to Cheng Ning.

"Uncle Wang, I see that you went back today to move the bar? Otherwise, why bother going back in the afternoon and coming back tomorrow morning......" Cao Yi joked with a smile, after all, Wang Zhiyuan is old, and it is tiring to go back and forth like this, but Wang Zhiyuan did it, and the only thing Cao Yi could think of was this.

If he had been left to someone else to arrange it, he would definitely not have delivered the non-essential wine, but he had passed by himself, and then everything was up to him.

"Hehehehe, don't say it!" Wang Zhiyuan's old face turned red, laughed out loud embarrassedly, and then his eyes widened, and he said to Cao Yi.

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I'll talk to Zhu Lao after I go back, and ask him to keep all the good wine for you, anyway, Ziji Mountain Villa said that after you go back in the afternoon, assign someone to be responsible for transporting grain, and let him bring you the good wine prepared by Zhu Lao every time in the future......" Cao Yi hurriedly said with a smile.

"So good, so good! Hahahaha! ”

When the others heard this, they laughed out loud.
