"Abba, is this where we live?" Demi asked the skinny man behind her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After following Chen Xiaochu to the north bank of the river, a Yellow Turban soldier soon guided them to station in the designated area. Although the horses that were unexpectedly harvested on the road were "turned in", to Demi's surprise, these people did not touch their sheep and other property.

"Demi, this is it, you see over there, there are many people like us, the rumors are true, as long as we get here, there will be someone to protect us, and we don't have to be forced to go to the battlefield." With a happy smile, the thin man led his family to remove the tents from the trailer, unpack the supplies, and begin camping.

Not far from Demi's family, a lot of people were logging, and among them were nomads and many dressed in styles that Demi hadn't seen before.

Some old carpenters in Huangjia Village are directing people to process the cut wood, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are maintaining order, like a huge construction site, and thousands of people are active in it.

"This speed is completely beyond my expectations, Liao Hua, well done." Chen Xiaochu came to the mansion under construction and said to Liao Hua.

"The victorious return of the lord is gratifying." Although he was left behind and had no chance to fight, Liao Hua was not unhappy at all, and being entrusted with guarding the most important base camp was a high degree of trust and recognition of the Yellow Turban Army under his command.

"Liao Hua, I can't see it, you still have the talent to build towns, I just took a closer look, the east side of this government is a shantytown, used for temporary residence, and the west side of the government is very detailed planning, and some neat building foundations have been laid, which is probably the prototype of the town in the future." Chen Xiaochu said to Liao Hua with great satisfaction, originally he was just thinking about moving people over to avoid being plundered by nomadic tribes, but he didn't expect Liao Hua to do it so dedicatedly.

"The lord observed very carefully, indeed, as the lord said, the functions of the east and west areas of the government are different, in fact, this degree is nothing, it is a little embarrassing to say, when the Yellow Turban Army was a rogue in the early years, it was actually a village after village rebelled one after another, not only the young and strong, but when fighting, they usually took their families with them, so they built temporary residences and organized the people, in fact, they have done it many times, so they are very experienced." Liao Hua arched his hand a little embarrassed.

"It turns out that there is still this reason, the Yellow Turban Army with a small family?" Chen Xiaochu said with a smile: "Those are all things in the past, but this time it is not a temporary place to live, but a permanent town, and you have done a very good job." ”

"This is not only the credit of the Yellow Turban Army, but also other people designated by the lord, Liao Hua does not dare to take credit." Glancing at the young man who was arranging various affairs in the palace, Liao Hua arched his hand.

"Oh, and the credit of others?" Chen Xiaochu recalled for a while, and there didn't seem to be any special assignment.

"Huang Quan, come over here." Liao Hua shouted in the palace, and soon, a young man in a strong suit immediately ran out.

"General Liao, what did you call me?" After the young man came out, he saw Chen Xiaochu, and immediately understood the reason, and hurriedly half-knelt on the ground and saluted: "See my lord, it was Huang Quan who was clumsy just now." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, hurry up, it's been a good thing these days." Chen Xiaochu immediately helped him up, looked at this young face, and quickly remembered that this was the eldest son of Huang Xian, the patriarch of Huangjia Village.

"No wonder they work so hard, when they were asked for allegiance on the first day, this Huang Quan was excited, and he had to give some sweetness, so that his younger brothers could see the benefits, and follow me with a bright future." Chen Xiaochu thought about it with a smile. "Huang Quan, it is said that this town was planned by you, and General Liao also appreciates you very much, can you tell me a little bit about it?"

As soon as he talked about his work, Huang Quan's spirit immediately came, and he said happily: "The subordinates are preparing to build it into a town with a scale of 5,000 people, and seeing that the adults continue to bring in the displaced people, the subordinates decided to revise their plans. ”

"Five thousand?" Looking at the land leveled out to the west of the mansion, Chen Xiaochu seemed to see a small county town rising from the ground, transmitting the benefits of the rare "scholars" too quickly, but he didn't expect that there were talents in urban construction, this is a key training object, Chen Xiaochu continued to ask: "Will there be more, are our materials and tools enough, and how long will it take for the existing manpower to be completed?" ”

"There is no problem with tools and manpower for the time being, and the construction is only the prototype of the town, but there are some difficulties in materials, and the most lacking thing at present is stone." Huang Quan said frankly.

"Missing materials?" Chen Xiaochu looked at the mansion that was built, many of them were wood, and the only stones that could be searched around were used on it, and the other buildings under construction to the west of the mansion were all made of wood.

"No wonder the south can be so fierce for the mining area, you can't do anything to build a house without stones, this world, if you want to burn bricks without stones, you must have a large number of technical personnel, which requires a large number of three thousand people in the town, in order to have a chance to get this kind of talent who can burn bricks, they currently do not have this level at all, the survival world of the race against time, ready-made stones and minerals have become rare resources in the struggle for life and death." Chen Xiaochu thought about it, it must be recognized by other Chinese civilization seeds, if they have talents in this field, they can send people to study, and then come to the cottage, even if the quality of the burned bricks is not good, it is much better than their own all-wood building.

"The disadvantages of all-wood construction are too obvious, and the enemy can destroy me with a single fire, so I will not end up like Yamamoto Oura." Chen Xiaochu looked at the surrounding buildings, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt like this, so he said to Huang Quan: "Don't worry, there will be stones in the future, the main buildings of the town you plan, in addition to building this mansion, first build private houses, and I will find a way to find other required materials." ”

"Yes, my lord, in fact, for the homeless people, the more they contribute, the faster they can live in the west of the mansion, and all of them are full of energy." Hearing Chen Xiaochu's assurance, Huang Quan said happily.

"Oh, so you did this, relying on contributions to select the first candidates to live in the private houses in the West District, no wonder I saw that the homeless people in the north who were logging were all desperate, they didn't need the urging of the army, and they were all terrifying with high consciousness." Looking at the people who were busy building, Chen Xiaochu suddenly realized that it was really necessary to draw cakes to be effective in mobilizing enthusiasm, so he said to Huang Quan: "After the construction of the prototype of the town is completed, you will be the first mayor of this town, continue to assist General Liao in his work." ”

"Lord Xie promoted." When Huang Quan heard this, he immediately saluted excitedly.
