For three or four days, Hao Jian has been busy except eating, sleeping and going to the toilet.

The people and people of Heiniu Mountain have all been brought back, and Ran Wu, the people of Guanjiatun, has also taken a team of people to pick them up, and they have been there for two days, and whether they can be brought back is between these two days.

The newly hired archers and light cavalry from the merchant post were also in place, and now two other knights, led by two other knights, were taking turns patrolling the valley outside the valley.

The archers and spearmen were responsible for guarding the Gukou wall, and the archers Li Yi and the spearmen were the three chiefs Tie Ning and Tie Mu as the rotating commanders.

After a few days of searching and extermination, the fifty monks led by Xu Zhu basically wiped out all the scattered and hidden horse thieves and swept away the disasters that the remnants of these horse thieves might bring.

Therefore, the fifty monks became a mobile team, and they went wherever they were needed.

In addition to Hai Dongqing's private secret treasure discovered that day, Ran Wu searched and found a public warehouse of horse thieves, which also contained a lot of belongings and materials, such as grain, cloth and silk, ironware, wine, salt and other things, many of which had not even been opened, and were printed with the names of various merchants, which were obviously obtained by these horse thieves from robbing caravans.

These materials were not included in the system accounts after thinking about it, because after all, a lot of expenses are also needed in reality, and if they are all included in the system accounts, it will be very troublesome to withdraw in the future, and it will also lead to doubts.

Looking at these things, Hao Jian felt that he needed an accountant, oh no, Mr. Bookkeeper. Although he can barely do it, how can he have time to manage this.

I have the intention to hand it over to Liu Ji, but Liu Ji also has a bunch of things on hand now, and it is estimated that he can't take care of it, so he hasn't counted it for a while.

On that day, after the appeasement of Bai Jinxiu's master and servant, the women who were robbed by the horse thieves were in a stable mood, and nothing unusual happened, after thinking about it, most of them were willing to stay, only a few people asked to go home, and Hao Jian also issued them a section of coiling and escorting them according to the promise.

For the women who stayed, Hao Jian can somewhat understand, after all, these women are mostly defiled by horse thieves, for the ancients who attached importance to women's chastity, even if they go back to find their relatives, they will be tarnished because of their reputation, and even become the target of public criticism, maybe they will go to a dead end.

So it's not necessarily because I feel at ease with Hao Jian's group, it's just the lesser of two evils and a helpless move.

In order to reassure these women, Hao Jian strictly ordered any man, whether a soldier or a civilian, not to approach these women without an order, and if they violated, they would be severely punished.

And in order to accommodate these women, they let them live in the courtyard of the second master vulture.

In order to make them feel at ease, Bai Jinxiu's master and servant were responsible for cooking, cleaning and other chores in the past two days, Bai Jinxiu was in charge and informed Hao Jian, and selected a few women with smart hands and feet and outstanding appearance from among them to be assigned to the General's Mansion as maids, responsible for Hao Jian's daily life.

Although Hao Jian was a little unaccustomed to being served by so many people at first, it was easy to go from thrift to luxury, and soon he felt that it was still very cool to be served.

After all, there are a lot of things going on every day, and having someone to help with trivial matters can also save him a lot of energy.

Of course, in order to let these women live with peace of mind, Hao Jian also ordered them to be paid salaries so that they could feel respected.

These women didn't know Hao Jian's details at first, and they were all a little trembling, but after getting along for a few days, they felt that the young general was kind and kind, and they all slowly relaxed, and they became more harmonious.

The people brought back from the Black Cow Mountain are also busy with their new homes, the men are organized to cut wood, the women and children are responsible for cooking and laying the hands, and the last thing in the gourd valley is all kinds of wood.

Of course, Hao Jian also took into account the problems that will affect the environment in the future, and set aside a special area for logging, otherwise if there is a heavy rainstorm in the future, if the vegetation on the mountain is cut down excessively, it may cause mudslides.

In the news of the previous life, you can often see the news that the mudslide washed away an entire village, and every time you see it, it makes people feel heartache and helplessness, so what can be prevented in advance is still to be done.

In the house, after Hao Jian sat on the bookcase, Liu Ji sat opposite him, reporting on the situation of visiting and surveying the valley in the past few days.

Liu Ji also went deep into the valley and took a turn, and the harvest was indeed not small.

"General, look here, this is the place where the coal was found." Liu Ji pointed to a sketchy map of the valley on the case, and pointed to a certain road.

And Hao Jian looked at the black mass in his hand and was staring intently.

He saw this thing too much when he was a child, and every household had to use it for heating and cooking, yes, coal.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ji accidentally found coal on this three-day trip to Hulu Valley, and it is said that this thing was picked up on the ground, not dug up.

"Strategist, you've done a great job this time. This seems to be a shallow coal mine on the surface, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you, this gourd valley is really a good place. Hao Jian said excitedly.

"Shallow coal mines?" Liu Ji was a little dazed.

"Yes, the coal you are talking about, the scientific name is called coal, the shallow coal mine on the surface, and consciousness is this thing that can be dug up casually. It's just not known what the reserves are and what the quality is. It seems that we have to find someone to dig more and come back to try, with coal, our future life will be much better, and it will be much more convenient to cook and even make iron. ”

Hao Jian said to himself, his eyes were still staring at the coal in his hand with interest, and he didn't notice the confusion on Liu Ji's face at all.

Although I have been with Hao Jian for a few days, the fresh words that Hao Jian often unconsciously emerges still make Liu Ji often confused, and he often feels at a loss when he first hears it, but it is very interesting to think about it carefully.

"General, if you want to send someone to dig coal, oh, it's the coal you said, we just have a group of people who can use it." Liu Jidao.

"Huh?" Hao Jian was stunned.

"General, have you forgotten the original owner of this gourd valley?" Liu Ji smiled and touched his beard.

"It's still your old Liu's quick brain, and you almost forgot about this group of grandchildren, you can't let them eat white rice every day, and the landlord's family has no surplus food. That's right, let them go to be coal diggers, just to accept the labor reform. Where is Li Qian? Hao Jian patted his head and suddenly realized.

"The subordinates are here!" Li Qian, the herald who was guarding the door of the council hall, strode in and hugged his fist.

"You also heard, the matter of digging coal will be handed over to you, prepare for the past two days, and take these guys to dig coal tomorrow, don't make it too easy for them, just starve to death." Hao Jian commanded loudly.

"Subordinates obey!" Li Jian took the order proudly.

After Li Jian went out, Liu Ji pointed to the lakeside on the map and said happily: "General, if you go to the depths of the valley from here for about half a day, you can see this lakeside." This lake is quite large and deep, the water is clear, and there are many fish and shrimp in it, but there is no river flowing into this lake, but I don't know where the water comes from. ”

"According to you, this lakeside must be the outlet of the underground river, and from the underground river it goes out and from another underground river, so that the lakeside is formed here. There are mountains, mountains, and coal mines, this is really a good place, thanks to your advice at the time, otherwise I really can't find a better base than this. Hao Jian said excitedly.

"It turns out that there are rivers underground, and the general is really knowledgeable, and he admires it." Liu Ji said with sincere admiration.

Although Liu Ji is not the traditional kind of reader, he only knows how to talk about the poor scriptures, but his main direction of attack is mainly how to assist the king in marching and fighting, and governing the country.

Hao Jian had gradually become accustomed to Liu Ji's admiring eyes from time to time, and continued with a smile: "Military Master, how big is the area around this lake? Can we carve out fertile land here? ”

"In Xiazheng is about to give the general, the terrain around this lake is flat, the grass and trees are verdant, if the land can be reclaimed, it is estimated that there will be at least more than 1,000 acres. In addition, this place is nourished by water, and the land must be fertile, and it will definitely be a fertile field if it is cultivated in the future. Liu Ji said with a smile.

"Okay, with these thousands of acres of fertile land, at least we won't be hungry in the future, and we don't have to worry about this irrigation problem." Hao Jian also slapped the table and said happily.

It's just that he suddenly thought of a question, and sighed: "It's just that we have too many things to do now, and we need a lot of manpower to assist, especially the scribes who know how to read and hyphenate and know how to arithmetic, otherwise General Ben won't even be able to find a bookkeeper." What's more, after the fields are cultivated, they need to be measured, distributed, registered, and taxed, and a large number of clerical affairs in the future need people, and you and I are too tired to be busy. ”

Liu Ji also deeply felt the same way about this problem, in the past two days, he has been visiting and surveying everywhere, in addition to his own use, several other soldiers are just doing some foul language to protect him, and they can't do other things, and they are tired enough.

"I said military advisor, you don't have any peers, fellow villagers, friends and the like, you can recommend some to us." Hao Jian said suddenly.

Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said: "General, in this bitter cold place in northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid no one wants to come." ”

Hao Jian knew that he was insincere, and he could understand the meaning of his words. The bitter cold land is a pretext, and the real reason is that he has no foundation at all, and there are only 200 people under his hands, and the population of the people is less than 1,000 even if you add the people in Guanjiatun.

Although he claims to be a general, in the eyes of outsiders, he is probably a thief who is crowned by a monkey.

Not to mention those who are above the top, even if Liu Ji writes a letter to invite, no one will definitely want to come. Who is so miserable that they would be willing to come to a ravine to assist a bandit leader?

Liu Ji, you say? He is semi-voluntary and semi-forced, you don't see that Ya is still talking about it now, and he has no consciousness of being a subordinate at all.

Hao Jian also knew that this kind of thing could not be forced, so he had to avoid this topic with a smile.
