Fortunately, Liu Yong was accompanied by Ouyang Lanlan, Yun'er, and Su Erniang, which made his thoughts not so heavy and reduced his psychological burden.

It rained lightly for a few days in the past few days, but the work of building the village has not stopped. Workers work during the day and sleep in tents at night. It's very hard. On rainy days, Liu Yong asked them to return to the ship to stay, and instructed the kitchen to improve their food and give them wine.

The workers are very grateful to Liu Yong, because they feel that it is even better to eat here than at home. I have to say that these people are all poor people, otherwise they would not have followed Liu Yong to this place tens of thousands of miles away from home. Although they didn't know exactly what this place was, they knew through the voyage of the fleet that this must be a place far away from the Great Song Dynasty.

Give them food well, and they will have the strength to work. The new village is being built step by step, and it can already be seen in its prototype.

After a few days of light rain, the weather cleared up and became very cool.

Liu Yong got off the boat, Su Erniang, Yun'er, and Ouyang Lanlan and Maria also followed him, all riding horses, and they were going to play on the prairie. Of course, the guards still have to be brought. And he took twenty guards. The guards were all carrying grenades.

The grasslands dried up after the rain, and I thought it was a dry climate in winter. Liu Yong and others rode horses, walking slowly on the grassland, enjoying the surrounding scenery.

Walking to an open area without grass, Liu Yong told the guards to keep an eye on the grass around them, where there were likely lions or cheetahs ambushing their prey.

Indeed, Liu Yong's heart is right, because there is indeed a lion hidden in it. There happened to be a group of lions here, they were looking for prey, and they set their eyes on Liu Yong and his party.

At that moment, one of the guards shouted, "Not good, lion. ”

Liu Yong and the other horses immediately became restless.

They rushed out five or six more lions together.

"Quick, grenade." Liu Yong shouted.

The guards immediately lit the grenade and threw it.

Suddenly, a lion was blown up and its flesh flew sideways.

Then one of the lions was blown off a leg and lay on the ground convulsively, while the rest of the lions did not dare to rush forward anymore when they saw this. They all stopped, hesitated in place for a while, and then retreated into the grass one after another.

This frightened Ouyang Lanlan, Yun'er, and Maria.

Liu Yong saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ordered to return, this African savannah is indeed full of dangers!

Back on the boat, several of the ladies were still in shock.

It's scary to think about it.

Liu Yong comforted them that there were guards who were afraid of something.

Ouyang Lanlan said: "Ah, I saw it, the appearance of that lion running is really scary!" ”

Yun'er also interjected and said, "Yes, it's really going to scare me to death, these lions are really scary." ”

Maria patted her bulging chest and nodded in agreement with Yun'er and Ouyang Lanlan's statement.

Not to mention Yun'er, Ouyang Lanlan, and Maria, Rao is a generation of heroines Su Erniang was also scared into a cold sweat. Because the lion's attack was indeed sudden, and swift, if the guards threw grenades slowly, and let a lion rush over, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But fortunately, there is no danger, Yun'er, Ouyang Lanlan, and Maria all said that they will never go to the grassland to play in the future.

Regarding today's encounter with a lion, Liu Yong took it to heart. He thinks that the new village should also be protected. It is best to fence off the surrounding area, including the gold mines and factories, with barbed wire to ensure the safety of people.

So he immediately ordered the workers to make barbed wire. Although they don't have a lot of wire, this one can be brought again next time.

At that time, the iron wire was not as strong as that of later generations, but it was also very effective.

Liu Yong told them how to make barbed wire, and then at the designated location, a large circle was formed around the city, where the workers worked, the new village, and the gold mine.

The barbed wire is a high point, and although the wire is not dense, large carnivores like lions cannot get through, and if they try to get in, they will get scars all over their bodies, and even get stuck in the wire.

It took five days to complete. The next step is to build a village with peace of mind.

Now the village is already taking shape. It looks like it will be completed in just over a month.

At this time, Liu Yong was a little anxious, because he also wanted to build the village as soon as possible. So that you can move on to the next one, build a gold refinery. In the end, the serious 800 began to mine the gold mines.

In the anxiety, the months passed slowly like a snail.

The new village was finally built, with a straight street lined with houses on both sides. Each house is forty square meters, enough for a small family. There is a small yard in front of the house, and a vegetable garden in the back, and a cowshed and sheepfold.

The yards are all fenced off with wooden fences. The houses are all the same, except that Liu Yong's house is a small two-story building.

The first floor is the living room, and the second floor is more than a dozen bedrooms, which is enough for Liu Yong's family.

Liu Yong took Yun'er, Ouyang Lanlan, Su Erniang, and Maria to check their small building first, and the beds in it were all ready, and now the futon was missing.

Liu Yong was very satisfied.

The foreman has prepared the firecrackers, and the old mother has prepared the red silk, ready for Liu Yong to cut the ribbon.

For a time, there were firecrackers here, and Liu Yong took scissors and cut colored silk, and Liu Yong Village was officially able to live.

Workers moved their salutes into their houses. Their hearts can be put to rest. In the future, I can work safely, even if Liu Yong's fleet is no longer here.

Liu Yong asked people to bring the pots and stoves on the boat, and today they were going to start their first meal in this new village.

This meal was eaten in the courtyard in front of Liu Yong's small building, this courtyard is quite large, and more than 100 people are fine.

During the banquet, Liu Yong lectured these workers with a wine glass, asking them to work here in peace and stability in the future. After drinking, the workers agreed in unison.

And the workers said that Liu Yong must fulfill his promise and bring their families.

Liu Yong gave them a package ticket.

After the meal, Liu Yong and the foremen studied the work of the alchemy factory, there is a technical problem here, because alchemy requires water, and it has to be flowing water, and there is no water source found in this radius of several miles, which is a difficult problem for Brother Yu.

The foreman said, "Even if there is no water here, it would be better to have it farther away." As long as we have it, we can dig rivers and bring water over. ”
