Five squads with a total of 500 people drove directly to the mountains west of Fang County, and occupied a small iron mine close to the tributaries of the Malan River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 500 men were in good order, and under the guidance of an "insider", they built a large-scale steelmaking furnace near the mine, intending to refine the steel needed for the project directly here.

Another five teams, along with the captain, came to Liujia Village, where Balding Mountain is located, set up tents on the spot, and began to burn clay, grind it with machines, and make cement!

There were ten squads of about 1,000 people, and under the leadership of the captain, they began to collect pebbles along the Malan River with wagons and ox carts requisitioned from all over Fang County.

Of course, there were five squads that began to collect sand.

The various building materials are gradually gathered and collected one by one.

As for the remaining 1,500 people, under the direct leadership of Liu Yuanshan, they began to manually excavate at the prospected site, level the site, clean the river, and deal with the foundation.

This is the hardest and most technical job.

The selection point of Xiongguan is about five kilometers downstream of Fang County, where the river is narrow, the cliffs on both sides are numerous, the width is less than 200 meters, and it must be an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack after it is built.

Now that it has entered autumn, the Malan River has ushered in a dry period, Liu Yuanshan naturally took advantage of the time and place, cut off half of the entire river with artificial rubble, built a small island, and then began to deal with the foundation.

The remaining children among the displaced people were all placed in a vacant lot next to the Liu family's compound, and the land was provided by the county, and Liu Yuanshan was only responsible for building some temporary shacks on it.

He can't be exhaustive, he can only let people take care of the general, and now the education force is not enough, these children really can't expect too much in addition to being fed.

As for the rest of the women, except for those who were breastfeeding, they were all singled out separately and divided into two groups, which were specifically responsible for the life and work of these laborers who built Xiongguan, who could cook food, and also help with laundry and clothes, and so on.

After most of the refugees were resettled, the law and order situation in Fang County suddenly improved.

Those old men in the county government finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The county officials breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Yuanshan was indeed a little overwhelmed.

There are 6,000 people, although it is a huge human resource, but the daily consumption is also very expensive, according to the calculation of two catties of rice a day for one person, the consumption of this day is as much as 100 stones, and the total amount of silver is 50 taels.

In fact, the consumption is far more than food, and the daily cost of resettlement of refugees alone has reached 100 taels of silver.

One hundred taels a day, it doesn't seem like much, but in fact, if you take the property looted from the Zhao family and consume it, it can only last for three months.

Moreover, there is still a problem in Liu Yuanshan's mind.

That's the Ye family!

Fifty percent of the grain and oil shops and medicinal herb shops in Fang County are the Zhao family, and now the population of Fang County has increased suddenly, and the daily grain sales have also increased greatly.

According to the market price, one tael of silver can buy two catties of rice, but now the price of grain in Fang County has risen by two percent.

Even if Liu Yuanshan buys it from Xiangyang Mansion, the consumption of round-trip vehicles and boats is only 20%!

"This Ye family, Lao Tzu will erase it for him sooner or later!" Liu Yuanshan's face turned blue.

However, it can't be helped.

The Ye family actually didn't value those two money, it was purely to block Liu Yuanshan.

Adding blockage to Liu Yuanshan is already good news!

The real bad news is: the Ye family's grain and oil store is closed!

As the saying goes, hitting a snake hits seven inches, and this board obviously hit Liu Yuanshan's seven inches.

Now it is autumn, and this season's autumn grain can only be harvested in a small month, and it is impossible for the peasant uncle to have a lot of grain in his hands, except for those big landlords who are against the sky, they can't get grain at all.

Now the Ye family is deliberately closed for business, which suddenly disrupts Liu Yuanshan's position.

Dry rack!

Ye Xiang secretly said Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, your family has only three or four hundred soldiers, and Lao Tzu's new recruits plus the original ones are eight hundred.

The point is, how do you do it for no reason?

Even if Liu Yuanshan holds a strong division, it is impossible for him to rob the Ye family with a swagger, after all, they are just closing their doors, and they are not doing anything illegal.

If the level is built now, what if Lao Tzu beats the dog behind closed doors? Liu Yuanshan secretly hated.

Unfortunately, the level hasn't been built yet.

In addition to Liu Yuanshan, there was another person who was more anxious after hearing the news of the closure of the Ye family's grain shop, and that was Liu Xin, the county leader.

He rode a donkey and walked in the direction of the checkpoint under the guidance of the servants of the good people.

Horses and cattle were requisitioned throughout the county, and in order to show his support for the construction of Xiongguan, Liu Xin was the first to donate his own horses, so now he can only ride donkeys.

"Master, it's almost there!" looked at a simple two-story wooden building next to the construction site, and the subordinate breathed a sigh of relief: this donkey is really slow, and the old man is almost going crazy.

"Good!" Liu Xin couldn't wait, jumped off the donkey's back directly, and walked towards the two-story small wooden building on foot.

There, it was Liu Yuanshan who set up a specially set up engineering headquarters for the construction of the headquarters, and now he basically eats and lives in the headquarters except for special things.

"San Lang!" Liu Xin ran to Liu Yuanshan's office in a panic, and saw that he was concentrating on watching the drawings, and his heavy mood melted a little bit.

"Yo, Lord Liu is here!" Liu Yuanshan hurriedly gave up his seat for tea.

"I've heard about everything, although Ye Xiang is not usually a benevolent person, he can't do such things as bad as beasts, it must be the last time you offended him!" Liu Xin smiled bitterly.

"I'm still afraid that the old thing won't make it, and when I free my hand, I have to clean him up!" Liu Yuanshan has been in contact with Liu Xin a lot recently because of the project, and although the two are not confidants now, they can be regarded as very good friends.

Liu Xin is in the official office, but he is the kind of person who can do practical things, which is in stark contrast to Lord Huang, the county magistrate, who is keen on reciting poetry all day long, which is also one of the main reasons why Liu Yuanshan regards him as a friend.

"Now is not the time to say cruel words, if you can't raise food in the next two days, I'm afraid that Fang County will be in chaos!" Liu Xin said worriedly.

Since the Ye family closed yesterday, Liu Yuanshan has basically been eating the old bottom, and the food in his hands can only cope with it for three days.

"Master Liu has a way?" Liu Yuanshan put the drawings down and asked.

"There is a way, but I'm afraid that in this way, the entire Fang County clan will be offended by us!" Liu Xin took a deep breath, his face turned ruthless, and said, "But for the sake of the overall situation, the old man will not hesitate!" ”

"The kid is also fearless!" Liu Yuanshan's eyes were like cold stars, and he said, "Please speak." ”

"Borrow!" Liu Xin squinted his eyes and squeezed out a word from his mouth.

"Borrow?"

"That's right! Now that the autumn harvest is in sight, there is no grain in the hands of the people, in addition to the Ye family, there are many rich households in Fang County, many people have their own granaries at home, if you pick up one or two soft persimmons and pinch them, how can you pinch out two taels of sugar water! ”
