The Yun family is also a family that has been inherited for more than 200 years, there are hundreds of clansmen, and there are not a few people who can take charge of themselves, and there are even more people who are loyal to the Yun family, as the patriarch of the Yun family, Yun Yi will not lack subordinates.

After Xu Hui handed over the paper mill and printing house to his successor, Yun Lang, he prepared to start building the place that Yun Yi named "Base No. 1".

The No. 1 base is deep in the interior of Yunhua County, in the southeast of Yunhua County, is a flat land with an area of about 1,700 acres, surrounded by mountains, there is only one artificially opened up path in and out of here, the location is hidden enough, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not too far from the iron ore to be mined, about more than 90 miles.

The only drawback of Base One is that there are fewer water resources, and there are only a few streams around, but the steam engine has been built, and the steam engine can be used to drive the pump to draw a large amount of water from the ground, and this only drawback has been eliminated.

All kinds of materials have been prepared, Xu Hui set off with the first batch of more than 300 young men and dozens of carts of supplies, followed by a private soldier of the Yun family with more than 50 people-Yun Family Army.

The purpose of Yun Yi sending the Yun family army is to take care of these young men and prevent someone from sneaking away to report to the outside world, and now the Yunhua Yun clan has resounded in the Dali Empire, the Yun Clan's salt making method, Yunhua paper and even silver mines, the appearance of the same thing has given the attention of many forces in Yunhua County, the most remote area of the Dali Empire, maybe there are spies from other forces mixed into the people recruited by the Yun Clan in the outside world.

From the mining of silver mines to the present, the Yun clan has recruited more than 3,000 young people from the outside world, including their families, about 15,000 people have moved into Yunhua County from the outside world, making the population of Yunhua County break through the 100,000 mark, reaching 110,000 is a matter of a month.

Fortunately, there is such a thing as mining silver mines, if the Yun clan recruits a large number of people silently, it will even attract the attention of the official forces of the Dali Empire, "rebellion" is an unbearable thing for the Dali Empire, once found, it is necessary to dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress, as soon as the Dali Empire was founded, there were many rebellions of the clans, there were officials who forced the people to rebel, and there were also the expansion of the ambitions of the clans who were not satisfied with their status, and of course there were those who were wronged.

However, Yun Yi was planning in his mind how to replace the Dali Empire, and the powerful firearms must not be discovered by the outside world, so after Yun Yi informed the third uncle Yun Yuankai, he dispatched a Tunyun family army to follow Xu Hui.

Xu Hui led a team of several hundred people along the official road built by the Yun clan to the south, this road is said to be an official road, but in fact it is a dirt road that is wider and smoother than the other roads, and it is also paved with a layer of gravel.

After traveling for about forty miles, the team stopped and did not continue to move south, because the No. 1 base is now located in the east of the team, and there is only one path left to go to the No. 1 base that can only pass one ride, and the first thing Xu Hui and the team have to do is to build a road, build a road that can pass through two carriages at the same time.

Base No. 1 is Yunyi's secret base and needs to be kept secret, why is Xu Hui building roads with such fanfare?

The reason is very simple, the total population of Yunhua County is so much, a group of more than 300 young people is dispatched together, there must be something important, maybe there are many spies behind the back, and it is impossible to completely conceal it, anyway, the No. 1 base is surrounded by mountains, if there is only one way to enter and exit the No. 1 base, as long as the Yunjia army is sent to guard the entrance and exit of the No. 1 base, it is very difficult for the spies of other forces to explore the internal affairs of the No. 1 base, as long as the things inside the No. 1 base are not discovered by the outside world.

In this era, building a road was a very simple thing, after all, it was just a dirt road, and at most it was paved with a layer of small stones, and if it was a cement road or an asphalt road, it would be a troublesome thing.

Xu Hui divided the team of more than 300 young people according to the way in the army, five people were in the team, ten people were in the team, 50 people were in the tun, 100 people were in the team, and more than 300 people were divided into three teams and six tuns.

Then Xu Hui took the tun as a unit, let the six tuns on the way to the No. 1 base to open the distance, build the road together, set the time for road repair, and make a reward and punishment plan, in the specified time to complete the task in their own area of the tun each person received 10 silver reward, the second completed tun each reward 3 silver, the third reward 1 silver, did not complete the task within the specified time, each day more than the specified time, then deduct 1 silver monthly salary.

By the way, the monthly salary of these young people is 15 silver per month, which is enough for these people's families to eat, of course, it is impossible to eat well, if you save a little, the family can buy a cheap clothes a year.

As soon as Xu Hui's reward and punishment plan was said, it caused a strong response from the young team, and each tun held a meeting to compete for the first place, as for not completing the task within the specified time, this is impossible, Xu Hui's prescribed time was originally thought about by him, under normal circumstances, as long as there are not many lazy and slippery people in the team, each tun can complete the task within the specified time.

The road construction began, six Tun young and strong, with various tools in their hands to work hard to repair the road, want to complete their task as soon as possible to grab the first place, 10 because is not a small amount, 10 silver can make the life of a family better, who doesn't want their family to live better?

Yunyi estimates that the road to Base No. 1 will be completed before the start of the iron mine, and the three hundred young people are only the first batch of people, and more young people will be transferred to Xu Hui later.

After the road was repaired, Xu Hui did not immediately enter the No. 1 base with Qingzhuang, but set up two factories near the No. 1 base: a cement factory and a masonry yard.

The establishment of these two factories can cover the existence of the No. 1 base, and the cement and masonry can be used for the construction of houses in the No. 1 base, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Yunyi needs to mine more and more ore veins, iron ore, lead ore, sulfur ore, saltpeter ore and coal mines, limestone, etc., mining these ore veins need to use a large number of young and strong labor, Yun Shi is recruiting more and more people in the outside world, and the recruited young and strong families are relocated to Yunhua County to enhance the population potential of Yunhua County.

It is inevitable to recruit labor from the outside world, but the movement is a little too big, the number of labor force that the Yun clan needs to recruit will exceed five thousand in a short period of time, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds ten thousand, if you add the family members of the labor force, this number will be multiplied by five, such a large-scale population migration, it is impossible not to attract the attention of outsiders.

Fortunately, the prestige of the Yun clan has increased greatly, and it has also been valued by the old emperor, otherwise this will bring all kinds of disasters to the Yun clan, and Yun Yi needs to hide his intentions deeply before gaining a certain strength, even if the family members can't tell it.
