Orthodox seven years, August, Fish Mountain Salt Pond.

After Chen Ziping and Gao Ran took many stove households to join Liu Juntao, Liu Juntao carefully screened the 380 stove households brought by the two, and left the 200 stove households who were willing to continue to boil private salt in the "Yushan Salt Pond", and asked Yan Hu to lead a sentry Qingzhuang who came over temporarily to stay and garrison to assist the two hundred stove households to make preliminary preparations for the resumption of production.

After that, Liu Juntao prepared to return to Yushanji with the remaining 180 stove households, and settled all these stove households in Yushanji.

Before leaving, Liu Juntao said to Chen Ziping: "I think so, Gao Ran and I will take everyone back to Yushanji first, you stay here for the time being, and seize the time to recruit young people who are willing to join my Yushanji escort team from the two hundred stove households that remained, and Yan Hu will tell you about the specific treatment of the escort team." ”

Chen Ziping nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible." ”

"Good! It's up to you! ”

After that, Liu Juntao said to Gao Ran: "Your task is also very heavy, after we arrive at Yushanji, I will settle these 180 stove households as soon as possible to relieve everyone's worries." After that, you have to recruit young people from it as soon as possible to join my Yushan Collective Guard. ”

Gao Ran also clenched his fists and said, "Order!" Big brother, don't worry! ”

In fact, Chen Ziping and Gao Ran are both older than Liu Juntao, but the two have just taken refuge, and Liu Juntao does not have any decent titles, and the two of them don't know how to call Liu Juntao for a while, so they both called the eldest brother with Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Huguan Liu Juntao.

Liu Juntao was still very uncomfortable at first, but after a lot of it, he got used to it, so he didn't say anything.

The next day, Liu Juntao, Gao Ran, and Tang Yu returned to Yushanji with one hundred and eighty stove households.

Yan Hu began to deploy in the Yushan Salt Pond, and according to Liu Juntao's intentions, a total of 40 young men and horses under his command were divided into two parts, and 30 young men were stationed in the Yushan Salt Pond, guarding everywhere and sticking to the high wall.

The remaining ten young men were divided into five groups, two people in each group, and scattered around the Yushan Salt Pond to find out the news, and at the same time find a way to spread the news of the Yushan Collection's incorporation of various stove households, and the most important thing is to spread the benefits obtained by Chen Ziping, Gao Ran and others together, and strive to make more stove households tempted to vote.

In this way, not only can we continue to recruit stove households to expand our power, but also spread the name of Yushanji and expand the influence of Yushanji, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

At the same time, Chen Ziping was not idle, while beckoning the two hundred stove households to pack their bags, settle down and prepare to resume the production of illicit salt as soon as possible, and at the same time called a few capable men and began to recruit young people among the stove households.

Yan Hu also assisted from the side, and sent his young men to tell everyone about the many benefits of the Yushan Guard.

For a time, the two hundred stove households in the Yushan Salt Pond were all vying to join, and the vast majority of the young and strong wanted to join the Yushan Guard.

At the same time, Liu Juntao led everyone to return to Yushan in two days.

Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui, who received the news earlier, were also ready to clean up the more than a dozen vacant houses in the village, and mobilized the men, women, and children in the village to build a sufficient number of nests around the village for the 180 households to live in temporarily.

Fortunately, it is a hot summer, the weather is hot, the nights are cool, and these nests can also be inhabited, so you don't have to worry about being too cold.

And Zhang Baigui and Guo Yongzhong also took the villagers to work around and brought food and simple clothes to everyone. Of course, these grains and clothing were recorded in Liu Juntao's account, and they were deducted from the money and grain seized from the Wang family.

After temporarily settling down the one hundred and eighty stove households, Liu Juntao said to Gao Ran: "No way, the time is too tight, so I have to wronged everyone to settle down first." But don't worry, it won't be long before the lives of the folks will get better! ”

"Big brother, where is this, in the reeds, we don't even have a nest, in order to avoid wolves and thieves, we almost live a wandering life, which is much stronger than the reeds!"

Liu Juntao pointed to the masons and carpenters who were busy working in the distance, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, it is estimated that it won't be long before everyone will have a place to live!" ”

Gao Ran's eyes were slightly red and he looked at the elated stove households around him, as if he had seen a happy life in the future, and he was looking forward to it.

Liu Juntao was also emotionally moved when he saw this, paused, and said: "The house can't be built in a few days, so you still have to hurry up and recruit young people during this period!" ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I will do it as soon as possible."

Liu Juntao nodded and said, "I will send someone to assist you." ”

On this afternoon, Zhang Xiaojun also rushed back with his young men, and at the same time brought good news to Liu Juntao.

"Big brother, six villages have agreed to merge into our Yushan Market!"

"Good! Such a big thing can be done! ”

Zhang Xiaojun frowned and said, "It's just that the villagers of these villages have a prerequisite. ”

"Say!"

"What happened to the yellow book and fish scale atlas on the government side? We need to find a way to do this, and only if the government agrees, they will be willing to discuss the merger with us. ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Expected! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao thought for a while and continued: "Let go of this in advance, I will find an opportunity to go to Huakou Town to discuss with Hu Dexing." During this time, you first assisted Gao Ran and recruited young people from the 180 stove households that moved in! ”

"Gao Ran?"

Looking at Zhang Xiaojun's puzzled expression, Liu Juntao remembered that he hadn't let each other know each other yet.

So, Liu Juntao found Gao Ran and instructed the two of them about recruiting young people. Zhang Xiaojun and Gao Ran immediately received the order and prepared to go together.

In this way, Liu Juntao has been busy for half a month before sorting out the matters of all parties.

The 180 stove households that moved to Yushanji have settled down, Yan Hu sent news that the 200 stove households in Yushan Salt Pond have also begun to resume the cultivation of private salt, and Tang Yu has already returned to Huakou Town, and it will not be long before the three industries there can reopen.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, Liu Juntao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Within two days, Zhang Xiaojun and Gao Ran came to return to their lives, and the two recruited a total of 120 young men; Later, Yan Hu and Chen Ziping also sent news, and the two also recruited 180 young men.

At this point, the Yushan Guardian Team suddenly increased by a full three hundred, and the strength of the time has tripled!

As a result, Liu Juntao formulated an expansion plan for the Yushan Collective Guard Team overnight:

At this time, the Yushan Collective Guard, plus the three hundred stove households, totaled four hundred and twenty people.

Liu Juntao decided to add a "general" system on the basis of the original "sentinels", with two sentinels being one general, one sentry being sword and shield bearers, and one sentry being pikemen, for a total of 87 people.

Each general manager was promoted by Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran, and a total of four general managers were established, with a total of 348 people.

The remaining seventy-two people were personally led by Liu Juntao, all equipped with long knives, which were used as Liu Juntao's personal guards, and were personally trained by Liu Juntao on weekdays.

Early the next morning, Liu Juntao ordered Yan Hu and Chen Ziping to rush to Yushanji immediately, and after the two arrived, Liu Juntao called Zhang Xiaojun and Gao Ran, and announced his reorganization plan to the four of them.

"In a month's time, my Yushan Collective Guard only has one month to reorganize. Not only will you have to train your young men in this month's time, but Master Zhang will also equip everyone with corresponding blades. After January, I will write to the Liu family to discuss the replacement of the Wang family by Yushanji. At that time, whether the Liu family in Yushanji and Anshan Town will fight or make peace, it will depend on the attitude of the Liu family! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked, and at the same time their hearts were surging, as if there was a strange feeling in their hearts that their future career had deviated from the original trajectory and embarked on a path that they had never dared to think of before.

After Liu Juntao finished arranging the expansion plan of the escort team, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran left separately. Liu Juntao gave the four of them five days to select their personnel, and after five days, the location of each of the four will be announced.

After that, Liu Juntao dragged his tired body to the blacksmith shop.

"Master Zhang, this is the blade I need, twenty days, can you prepare it all?"

Zhang Baigui looked at the list handed over by Liu Juntao, and saw that it was written: 172 waist knives, 172 rattan cards, 172 spears, and 72 long knives!

In just an instant, rolling cold sweat flowed down Zhang Baigui's forehead.

"Jun Tao, are we a little big? You're not really going to build armor and firearms, are you? ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Master Zhang has worked hard, and he must complete the production as soon as possible!" ”

"It's not difficult to catch up with these, we have captured many blades from the Wang family before, and some of them can come in handy. It's just, is it really appropriate for us to build these? ”

Liu Juntao smiled noncommittally, then turned around and walked away.

"Jun Tao! Is it really okay? Zhang Baigui muttered, still worried in his heart.

Five days later, Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu, Chen Ziping, and Gao Ran had already selected their subordinates, and had already built the structure of the entire escort team according to the system set by Liu Juntao.

Of course, most of the captains, captains, and sentry chiefs at all levels were promoted from the members of the old guards, and a small number of them were manufacturable materials among the young and strong people of the stove households.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: order Yan Hu to lead a total of men and horses to Yushan Yanchi to garrison, and order Zhang Xiaojun to lead a total of men and horses to Huakou Town to garrison (all the men and horses are scattered into three industries), Chen Ziping and Gao Ran led a total of men and horses under their respective commands to garrison Yushanji.

After that, Liu Juntao said to Chen Ziping and Gao Ran: "During your garrison, I will personally train these two sentinels. ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran clasped their fists and said, "It's all up to the eldest brother!" ”

Then, Liu Juntao said to Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu: "The two of you are guarding one place, don't slack off, just train your brothers according to my method." ”

"Order!"

Yan Hu is okay there, it is located in a remote area, and it is more convenient for dozens of young people to train. And Zhang Xiaojun is in Huakou Town, and once dozens of people are too conspicuous in practice, Liu Juntao is not very relieved.

"Xiao Jun, your general force is too conspicuous, and you have to disperse your brothers and camp in those three shops on weekdays. If you practice, you must pull the brothers to a hidden place outside the town, and don't show off the market and attract attention! You have to remember that the tree is very popular, not to mention that our Yushan set is still in the grass creation period, so don't be too eye-catching! ”

Zhang Xiaojun replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, big brother, I will pay attention!" ”

After arranging these, Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu will set off with their brothers." Chen Ziping and Gao Ran are also going to start training their brothers, and I have to deal with the things at hand. ”

"What else does Big Brother have to deal with?"

The four of them asked suspiciously.

"In a few days, I'm going to go to Huakou Town to find Hu Xiaoqi to catch up with the old days!"
