The entire Shanyang of Luoliang Mountain is a busy figure, wearing shabby clothes and rolling in the mud, in order to live a better life in the future.

In front of the abandoned old village on the top of the mountain, on a protruding rock, Tang Xidong and Liu Lianqing sat side by side on the cold stone, the cold wind blew the girl's hair, and the action of raising his hand to collect the hair was too graceful, making the man's eyes shine.

After the road up the mountain, she finally packed up her mood, and Liu Lianqing became cold again.

"You mean, there might be ore halfway up the mountain?" The girl asked softly, and the voice brushed in the man's ear, and was carried away by the cold wind.

"According to what the young men who dig wells say, there should be seven or eight points possible." The man thought for a moment, and a heartfelt smile appeared.

The girl nodded, looking at the air, her thoughts drifting somewhere.

"Plans don't keep up with changes, and I think we have to reconsider our previous plans." The man sighed, seeing the prosperity of the future generations, he always looked down on everything that was poor and backward in the Ming Dynasty, but he had to create it by himself.

The girl turned her face, a puzzled expression on her pretty face.

"Time waits for no one, the official army may come at any time, maybe the rebel army from Shaanxi will also come in the future, we can only build everything we want quickly, and we can live a good life little by little under the protection of everyone's concerted efforts."

"You never told me what we're doing now, and what it would be like to do it well?" The girl frowned, questioning.

"You never asked, I thought you'd believe me?"

The man's words made the girl's frown turn into a trace of anger between the eyebrows, and in an instant, it was as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and the earth was shining.

The man coughed twice to hide his gaffe, turned his face and didn't dare to look again, looked at the busy figure under the mountain, and pointed with his finger: "If you want to live, you must first have land, robbery will not last for a long time, only by farming and supporting yourself can you live in this world." ”

"The weather is dry, it is the season for planting, but there is little rain and cold, and the wheat cannot survive." The girl rolled her eyes, as if to laugh at the scholar for not knowing how to farm.

The man smiled and took a small pebble and wrote on the smooth stone surface: "That's why I asked everyone to build a greenhouse." You have already seen it in the greenhouse, with the heat provided by the kang inside, the wheat noodles are no longer afraid of cold, and the wheat seedlings can grow again with fertilizer and water. ”

"But right now, I haven't seen the sprouts emerge." Liu Lianqing looked at Tang Xidong questioningly.

"It's coming, it's coming." In addition to waiting, Tang Xidong found that he couldn't do anything else, the greenhouse, it should be possible, right?

Tang Xidong pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and then said: "When the time comes, dig a few more wells at the bottom of the mountain and make a track from the top of the mountain, what is the track?" When the time comes, when the carpenter is done, you will know, the track is completed, people do not have to waste time and effort to carry water from the bottom of the mountain, as long as the water tank is placed on the board car of the track, two adults on the mountain with a roll, the water tank can come up along the track itself, when the time comes, it can not only solve the problem of drinking water, but also water the terraces. ”

"After doing this, we can solve the problem of having land and not being able to grow food. At that time, half of the entire Luoliang Mountain will be planted with grain, and it will be able to feed many people. ”

"Moreover, we have now discovered coal mines, and the coal dug up can not only be sold to make money, but also solve our problem of burning fires for heating."

"There's also iron ore, and when it's mined, we'll be able to make more, and I know that iron ore can make something stronger and more durable than pig iron."

"The days will be better and better in the future, and when all this is done, I will prepare to expand the city wall at the foot of the mountain, build a big city that rises against the mountain, and enclose the entire Luoliang Mountain, so that not only can it prevent outsiders from destroying it, but the city is also close to the official road, so we can form a caravan, do business everywhere, sell coal and stone, sell ironware, sell grain, and buy what we need."

The girl was shocked by what the man said, both novel and too bold.

"Let's not talk about it, can the strange things you said be done, first of all, if you want to do all this, how many people do you need to build, how long will it take to complete, if it can really be built as you said, how can we ensure that outsiders will not come to rob it, and then it will hurt everyone." The girl frowned and questioned again.

"In this world, if you don't move forward, you will be starved to death, frozen to death, killed, the current food of the cottage is limited, there will always be a day when it will be eaten, what if it is finished one day? As for the idea that someone really wants to fight the copycat in the future, there is no other way but to desperately beat them down and kill them all. The man said.

"In the final analysis, there are still too few of us, and if we can join more people, we can complete it earlier, and we will have more strength to protect the wealth we have created."

The man sighed and looked at the huge Luoliang Mountain, there is a place where there is no population.

The girl also looked and thought, and fell silent.

"The third uncle went down the mountain to recruit people, when he comes back, I will ask him to find more people to come back, this year, the most important thing is people, I believe it won't be long before you can have enough manpower you need." The girl was silent and then spoke.

"I only hope for one thing, no matter how successful you can be in the future, I hope that you can take everyone to live, instead of taking everyone to death." The girl looked at the ambitious man in front of her, with both expectations and worries.

The man nodded solemnly, which can be regarded as a promise.

After that, the two of them talked intermittently, discussing the latrine, the coal mine, digging wells, children, the old and the weak......

The mountain wind slowly became stronger, and the two men got up and disappeared behind the stones.

After the conversation in front of the village, the relationship between Liu Lianqing and Tang Xidong seemed to be one step closer.

On the second day, Liu Dagou recruited 500 people for the cottage again, this time the quality was good, the young Zhuang accounted for half, these young Zhuang did not bring their families, all of them were close to the towns and villages near Luoliang Mountain.

After all, the faith of the mountain bandits is very questionable, even if this group of mountain bandits has never robbed the nearby villagers.

But as long as they come, Tang Xidong is confident that they will stay.

Liu Dagou put down the people and left again, I heard that after the rebel army approached the Hongdong area of Zhaocheng, the people in the north recently began to migrate south on a large scale in order to escape the war.

Tang Xidong remembered that there were really few Shanxi people he met in later generations, and he had always heard that Shanxi people loved their families, and they would try not to go out if they could not go out to work hard.

This point is recognized, and the paradox is that the largest merchant group in this era is also the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants do business in all corners of the Ming Dynasty, and even extend beyond the borders of the Ming Dynasty.

The Jin people love their families, and there are not many people who are willing to rebel with the rebels, and many people encounter war, and they choose to go around in circles in a place, anyway, they don't rebel with you.

As soon as there were many displaced people, Tang Xidong believed that the government would never take the initiative to resettle them, so that it would be easier for Liu Dagou to go down the mountain to recruit labor, and more and more people would go up the mountain.

This is a little good, and Tang Xidong is also more sure of his previous analysis.

That's why the officers and soldiers chose to leave after peeking at the cottage for a few days, probably because the anti-army was approaching, and they went back to the city to hold the city.

At this time, the guard station has been abolished, and there are only a few people with combat effectiveness, and these people still have to defend the city for the officials to ensure that they do not lose, so naturally they can't take care of the cottage, or they can't take care of the affairs of the Kang family.

The crisis has been temporarily lifted.
