Guo Yang, Anu and Wang Huzi returned to the Grand Canyon of Wuling Mountain.

They entered the stockade in secret, because they went out in secret. Except for the thirty teenagers and the hundred or so men brought by Wang Huzi, the life of the descendants of the merchants living in the Grand Canyon is still the same, from sunrise to sunset, and nothing has changed.

This time I went out to make food, which was quite rewarding, but it was also extremely dangerous, and Guo Yang was a little afraid in retrospect.

Looting food in the midst of the chaotic army is much more dangerous than snatching food from the tiger's mouth. In particular, the coordinated queue attack of those foot soldiers is much more dangerous than facing a person with high martial arts, and it feels like a tiger biting the sky.

If there is no way to do the robbery, you should try to do as little or even no way as possible!

Guo Yang made up his mind that he wanted to find a way to make himself strong through other methods.

On the way back, Guo Yang thought about it repeatedly, thinking that his biggest advantage at present was not force, but that he had a relatively stable land with hundreds of people.

As soon as he returned to the Grand Canyon, Guo Yang directly announced the division of labor between Anu and Wang Huzi.

Anu was in charge of the production of the village, including planting and breeding, as well as iron ore mining and smelting, which were kept secret for the time being. Wang Huzi was in charge of the armed forces of the entire village, including vigilance, escorts, and personnel training.

In addition, Guo Yang also announced an important thing, he gave a name to the village of the Wuling Mountain Grand Canyon: Tianshui Village.

When Guo Yang said the name, the others didn't feel anything, they just felt that their village finally had a name, cheered for a while, and went to get busy.

Only Anu, hearing this name, a touch of shock appeared on his dark face, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.

Tianshui Village!

With his head bowed and tears in his eyes, Anu slowly walked out of Guo Yang's cave and came to a high hill.

"Is the name of Tianshui Village bad?" Just when Anu was looking into the distance in despair, Guo Yang didn't know when he came to his side and asked very seriously.

"No, young master, it's good, it's great!" Anu is a little incoherent, trying to hide her vulnerability.

Guo Yang was a little puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask.

Everyone has their own secrets, and they also have their own secret wounds, Guo Yang respects Anu and doesn't want to poke his fingers into his wounds.

The two of them stood on the hill, looking at the peaceful and busy Grand Canyon, happy and fulfilling.

"Young master, is our village really called Tianshui Village?" Anu asked suddenly.

"Hmm." Guo Yang replied vaguely.

"Asu is also in Tianshui Village, but that Tianshui Village is in southern Xinjiang." Anu said.

"So coincidentally?" Guo Yang asked in some surprise.

"Tianshui Village...... Hey, Tianshui Village. Anu suddenly smiled, with a strange expression on his face, and he didn't know what he thought.

"That's the name, right? When I robbed the grain of the Yan army that day, a name suddenly popped up in my heart, and I thought it was not bad, so I gave it to our stockade. Guo Yang said.

Both of them were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts, like two black mutes.

……

Anu quickly came up with a set of effective plans, and Tianshui Village launched a vigorous large-scale production.

A large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed, and millet and sorghum have been sown in time for the season. The millet was milled into rice, and it was eaten by men, and the bran was eaten by the animals.

Sorghum is a new variety introduced by Anu after repeated comparisons, and it is said that it is not very nutritious, but it has a high yield, which is very suitable for cultivation in the Grand Canyon, and can be stored for livestock to eat.

Many places in Tianshui Village began to have names, the land suitable for planting millet is called Gupo, and the large piece of land suitable for planting wheat is called Maizigou. A place dedicated to cattle, sheep and livestock drinking water is called Donkey Bay.

And the most famous is the waterfall that Guo Yang and Anu found when they first selected the site, called Tianshui.

Some of the newly reclaimed wasteland, carefully fenced by the people of Tianshui Village with wooden stakes to prevent those wild beasts on the mountain, looking at it from a distance, it is a bit like a patch on the earth, one in the east and one in the west, which looks very comfortable.

Anu divided the three or four hundred people into several groups, some were responsible for growing wheat, some were responsible for planting sorghum, some were responsible for planting oats, and some were responsible for planting millet.

The two most special groups of people are under the direct command of Anu. One group is responsible for farming, and the other group is for ore mining.

Anu's farming skills convinced everyone, and even the most stupid merchant descendants quickly learned a lot of farming techniques. From technical work such as seed selection, breeding, delivery, and milk pasting, to rough work such as feeding, ingredient, and removal of feces, everyone has a strict division of labor among those old and disabled women and children.

In addition, Anu also set up a special group for slaughtering, pickling, storage and other links, with only four or five people, but they were responsible for the meat eating problem of the entire Tianshui Village people.

All kinds of farming tools were designed and manufactured, including farming and breeding, and each tool was designed by Guo Yang and Anu in consultation with each other.

Later, Guo Yang felt that it was too troublesome, and designing all kinds of tools took up a lot of his cultivation time, which made him a little unbearable.

"Anu, we need to set up a team dedicated to designing and making tools." One day, Guo Yang called Anu to the cave and gave an order directly.

Anu nodded, turned around and left, and immediately set about organizing the handicraft group.

He picked seven or eight men from among those whom Wang Huzi had brought with him, and began to train them patiently. In less than a month, those people were already able to make somewhat ugly but practical farm tools.

Guo Yang came once, checked the manual team, and expressed clear dissatisfaction with the work efficiency of these people, and he asked Anu to transfer a dozen and a half children to help those men.

"A good tool is like a good knife that is worth a group of slaves. We don't have slaves in Tianshui Village, so give me a good design and production tool. Guo Yang changed his usual gentleness, and said a word to Anu very seriously, and went to the back mountain to cultivate.

Anu was sad for a whole afternoon, and he made up his mind that he must let this handicraft group grow up quickly and no longer disappoint Guo Yang.

He led them on a tour of the farmland, the canals, the sheepfolds, the pigsty, the donkey pens, and even all the details of the living conditions. Then, he took out a large jar of wine, boiled a lot of meat, and asked everyone to sit down and think of a way together.

"Actually, we were all a little blind before, only thinking about how to make wood into tools, and in the past few days, we have looked at those specific production links to know how ridiculous we are." A man said with a smile.

"Internally, we can also divide into small groups according to everyone's needs. For example, if I am interested in agriculture, I can be responsible for making the most practical tools for the women and the elderly who are farming. For example, Li Laosan is interested in canals and irrigation, so let him be in charge of the water tools of the entire Tianshui Village. ”

The other man was not a good drinker, and after a few sips of wine, he began to curl his tongue, but his advice was taken seriously by Anu.

The handicraft team quickly agreed on the next goal, they carried axes and wood, squatted directly in the fields and livestock pens, carefully observed all aspects of production, let the working women, the elderly and children make requests, and then directly design and make a tool according to everyone's requirements.

This simple improvement has made handmade composition one of the most popular people, and they can see the variety of simple and usable things they design, no matter where they are. In Tianshui Village, as long as you are a clever person, you will be fully respected wherever you go.

The tools were advanced, just like the knife in Anu's hand was sharpened, and the productivity quickly increased to the point of amazement. In the past, more than 100 people had to work hard for two or three months with blood and sweat, but now it can be completed in less than three or four days.

Guo Yang was very satisfied with this, and for this reason, he specially invited Anu to get drunk on the nearby mountain.

However, as production efficiency increases, new problems arise.

After finishing the farm work, people began to squat in the shade in twos and threes, picking their toes, and discussing big and small things in Tianshui Village. At first, everyone was still a little introverted and only talked about production, but later, the topic gradually expanded, and people began to talk about other people's things, which made Anu a little depressed.

Especially in winter, the people of Tianshui Village are nested in their respective caves, surrounded by a fire, wrapped in animal skins or sheepskins, and can talk all day and night. Men's affairs, women's affairs, children's affairs, and old people's affairs have all become everyone's talking points.

Looking at the appearance of those people and listening to the laughter of everyone, Anu became anxious. He planned to discuss it with Guo Yang, Tianshui Village became like this, which made Anu very sad.

……

Guo Yang moved to the back mountain and opened a new cave next to the mine. While he was studying the refining technique, he cultivated, and except for Anu and Wang Huzi, no one else was forbidden to enter that area.

He met Anu in his new cave.

"That's a good thing." Guo Yang listened to Anu's worries and said with a smile.

"However, in the long run, everyone's enthusiasm for production will weaken." Anu said worriedly.

"This shows that you, the person in charge of production, are not doing well enough." Guo Yang said meaningfully.

Anu pondered for a long time, but couldn't remember what she hadn't done well enough.

"The next step is to keep everyone busy. The ore needs to be mined, the scale of cultivation and breeding needs to be expanded, and none of this is a big deal. Guo Yang said.

"But...... Everyone is talking about other people, which obviously doesn't bode well! Anu sat down, picked up a bottle of wine, and took a shallow sip.

"That's a great thing." Guo Yang laughed.

Looking at Anu's blank expression, Guo Yang continued: "People are like animals. Your breeding skills are so good, but why can't your brain turn around? ”

"Young master, Anu is a little confused, just say it directly, it makes me a little dizzy by going around." Anu said with a bitter face.

"Our Tianshui Village needs to develop and exist for a long time. The old people are going to die slowly, the young people are getting old, the children are growing up, how can we go on like this? Gotta get everyone to breed, Anu. Guo Yang looked at Anu gently and said with deep meaning.

"Huh? Master...... You mean? Anu slapped his head, and his face suddenly realized, and he couldn't help laughing.

Guo Yang smiled, scratched the back of his head, and rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, like a bad boy.

"I know what to do, young master, I'll make arrangements! Hahahaha...... "Anu laughed all the way and walked back to Tianshui Village quickly.
