The construction of the guerrilla camp is in full swing, the cattle pen needs to be expanded, and the barracks of the sergeants also need to be built, after all, Wang Er has brought more than 6,000 young men to vote, and they cannot be left without a place to live.

In Wang Zezhi's planning, the guerrilla camp has a circumference of more than five miles, with barracks, granaries, martial arts grounds, cowsheds, stables, and city walls, city gates, urn cities, corner towers, gun towers, etc., and the defense of a county is basically like this.

However, Wang Zezhi's top priority is to build the barracks first, and it just so happens that Wang Er needs time to gather people, so Wang Zezhi can concentrate on building the barracks while he is in this space.

After Wang Zezhi decided, the people of Shouyang and Yuxian County, as well as the displaced people who joined the military households, immediately became busy.

First of all, the area around Fangshan was painted with white lime and used to build barracks.

Then set aside a piece of land in the west to build a dry toilet, and Wang Zezhi was very concerned about their open defecation.

After the toilet is built, these people can only go to the toilet to defecate in the future, one is sanitation, and the other is that he plans to use human manure and cow dung to make fertilizer to enrich the land.

In addition, he also wants to build a medical center, Wang Zezhi thinks that the medical center is very important, such as the sergeants are injured, not to mention, if there is any disease, he does not have to go outside to invite Langzhong.

The most important point is that he needs to guard against the plague, which has ravaged the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, but it started in Shanxi.

In addition to Wang Zezhi's planning, he found that the people and military households spontaneously built a temple called the Land Temple to ensure the safety of the land.

Wang Zezhi also expressed his understanding of their behavior.

After all, people in this era have a lack of spiritual world, and can only believe in ghosts and gods to comfort their empty hearts.

In addition to these, Wang Zezhi also specially inquired about the common people and military households, and found some people who knew how to strike iron and built an iron room.

He wanted to build his own weapons and equipment.

After making these arrangements, Wang Zeyi gave an order, and all the people and military households took action together.

The only advantage of setting up camp in Fangshan is that trees, loess, and stones can be used locally, and he didn't spend much money except for spending money to buy some limestone from Shouyang.

Between the mountainside and the ravine of Fangshan, the spring water overflows and is inexhaustible all year round, which Wang Zezhi did not expect.

Since there is water in Fangshan, Wang Zezhi plans to build some small reservoirs, and then use small waterwheels to lead the water to the camp with hollow paulownia wood, otherwise these thousands of people will not always be able to run to the ravine to fetch water to drink.

In addition to this, some wells should be drilled for emergency purposes.

There was originally a well in Fangshan, but it was a small puddle surrounded by flowing water in the mountain, which was not a well in the real sense.

Fangshan groundwater is very abundant, it will come out of the water without twenty zhang, and the water quality is mostly clear and sweet, as for other places, it is not as easy to produce water as Fangshan, and some places will not necessarily have water if they play thirty or forty zhang.

With reservoirs and wells, Wang Zezhi is not satisfied, he also plans to build some water towers to store water, now there is water here, in case of a once-in-a-century drought, no one dares to guarantee that there will be water to drink.

The drought in the Ming Dynasty lasted for five or six years in history, and he had to prepare for a rainy day.

There are stones and wood in Fangshan, but Wang Zezhi lacks tools, Wang Zezhi remembers that a businessman surnamed Li in Yuxian County once said that Yuxian has many coal mines and iron smelting, so he sent someone to Yuxian to buy a lot of quarrying and logging tools.

After the tools came back, the quarried stone king specially confessed, giving priority to digging wells and making reservoirs. Yiyun Chinese

There must be a few wells first, barely enough for everyone to use, and then we will build barracks, otherwise there will be more people and there will not be enough water to drink.

On the second day, the first well was finally laid, the well was 15 zhang deep, the well water was shallow, the water quality was clear, the bottom of the well was paved with pebbles, the wall of the well was repaired with quarried stones, and the outside of the well was paved with gravel.

When the first bucket of water came up, there was a thunderous roar of joy for a while, and the people and military households could not help but take turns to taste the well water, which was far sweeter than the water they had drunk before.

The soldiers were smiling, especially the displaced people who joined later, who had never drunk such sweet well water from place to place.

After unanimous discussion, the military households finally named this well "Zezhijing" to thank Wang Zezhi for his kindness.

After the well was built, the people who came to work in Shouyang and Yuxian had their eyes flashing, and after they tasted it, they compared it with the bitter water they had drunk, and they had a plan to stay.

After the first well was laid, after continuous efforts, the foundation of the camp, toilets, medical hall, and cowshed that Wang Zezhi confessed to the guerrilla camp had been built as a priority.

The people and military households in the camp were very curious about the toilet that Wang Zezhi was going to build, and they didn't understand why Wang Zezhi dug such a big pit to build a thatched house.

During the construction of the toilets, people would come over from time to time to see the strangeness.

The foundation of the city wall has not yet been built, and Wang Zezhi is worried that after the planning is exceeded, the city wall will be too small and will have to be expanded at that time, so he plans to wait for all the buildings in the camp to be built before building the city wall.

The guerrilla battalion has laid the foundations, and it is not possible to complete the construction in a short time.

Wang Zezhi left Fangshan and focused on recruiting displaced people, cultivating wasteland, and repairing water conservancy.

We must strive to build water conservancy and reclaim the fields before August, so that he will have time to grow grain and harvest early tomorrow.

In fact, from Fangshan to Yuxian, there are many places to cultivate between the mountains and forests, and there are even many places where there are water sources.

After this period of investigation, Wang Zezhi decided to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland in these areas with water sources.

In this way, he did not have enough manpower, and he inevitably had to recruit some homeless, but the homeless people who came were either skinny or old and weak.

There were very few people who could really use it immediately, so he had to find another place, settle these displaced people, raise them with soup porridge first, and wait for a few months, when their physical condition was better, and then send them out to reclaim the wasteland.

Since the newly recruited displaced people could not be used immediately, he had no choice but to recruit some people from Shouyang and Yuxian, pay them grain and silver, and ask them to reclaim wasteland in the mountains and forests and build water conservancy.

For the next few days, these people went to work before dawn and returned after dark, working hard every day.

The most important thing is that Wang Zezhi will also follow them out every day, in addition to checking the situation, he also has to experience this hard life, so as not to live too comfortably.

The people were a little surprised, they had lived for so many years, and they had never seen such a military master.

Since Wang Zezhi will take the lead in working every day, these people naturally dare not be lazy, and they work harder than the other.

During this period, the Cowherd drove fifty or sixty cows once, and he told Wang Zezhi that if he wanted to cultivate cattle strongly, he would have to wait for five days, and he would come to deliver them every five days, and Wang Zezhi nodded and agreed.

The military households in the guerrilla camp could not help but yearn for their future life when they saw that there were more and more cattle ploughing.
