Perhaps for the first time in history, so many people gathered in Trojan County, which is made up of more than a dozen dilapidated houses.

Yang Zongman and others' recruitment work is not going smoothly, the common people just want to work and eat, and they are not interested in fighting devils to protect their families and defend the country, for them, this country has not given them the opportunity to eat and clothe, so they have no sense of belonging, not to mention that almost all of them are illiterate, they know what crops to plant in what season and when to fertilize and increase production, but they have no concept of home and country at all.

This is a manifestation of ignorance, which is hated by many student literati like Li Xuejin or Peng Zhiguo, and what they try to awaken is that they are in this kind of ignorance.

It's just that they forget one thing, when a country can't keep its people fed and clothed, and can't let its people be protected, why should the people fight to the death for such a country instead of overthrowing it or expecting better rulers?

At least that's what Lu Yuan thinks in his heart, but the premise is that this is the Chinese's own China, and it is not the turn of those dogs. Japan's little Japan is making wind and rain in this land.

The Chinese can overthrow and rebuild their own country, but if outsiders want to intervene, it is aggression, just like their own face, they can fight as much as they want, but if others reach out to fight - then he . Mother. Hit back!

It doesn't make sense.

"In the future, put more rice ......"

Lu Yuan drank a few large bowls of porridge, but he could count the grains of rice in his stomach when he swallowed it, and he was really a little embarrassed.

It's the people who suck bowl after bowl of energy, and it seems that they have never eaten such a delicious thing.

"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are ......?"

Luo Qinghu said: "Give them an open belly to eat, your tens of thousands of oceans are estimated to be for them to eat for a long time, not to mention that you still want to recruit more people and develop ......."

"Now I'm in charge, you don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Yuan scolded depressedly, this is just the beginning, he has already realized the importance of this money word, it is like a tight spell on Sun Monkey's head.

After eating, it was time to build various fortifications.

This is the first priority, and the housing aspect can be relieved.

Although Yang Zongman and others are not strategic experts, they are also veterans who have fought wars, and they don't need to worry about the rough defensive arrangement at all.

Although the recruitment of soldiers did not go smoothly, under the temptation of being able to eat one meal a day and have a bright salary a month, more than 50 young men were recruited, and under the leadership of the big bear, they began the first training since the establishment of Trojan Horse County.

Lu Yuan, under the leadership of Zhang Zaixian, left the county headquarters that could not be called a county with a few rice balls and carried out the first on-site inspection.

The whole Trojan Horse County is nearly 60 miles in circumference, the typical hilly area, the whole county area is almost composed of large and small hills, the slope of many hills is nearly 45 degrees, the mountains are full of low shrubs, among which the only suitable for cultivation and living is the slightly slower Stopping Boat Mountain, Shijiagou, Chashan Liang and Tingzikou, the whole county hundreds of families men, women and children more than 1,000 people, are distributed in these areas.

The rain here is not too little, the reason for the lack of water is entirely because of the soil and the mountain, the soil is slightly sandy, it is not easy to store water, and the mountain is steep, the difficulty of water storage increases, and in the dry season, the soil is even more arid, as it is completely difficult to grow until it dies or reduces the yield.

"Oh, what a sin it is to live in this place!"

Zhang Zaixian said: "I can't even make ends meet all year round...... I can't even make ends meet" and wiped tears from his eyes.

"What kind of mountain is that?"

Lu Yuan pointed to a higher hill in front of him, several mountains suitable for cultivation were connected with this mountain, and he thought that if a water conservancy facility could be established on this higher mountain, and water would be released to irrigate the surrounding farmland in the dry season, even if the entire county was suitable for cultivation and properly developed, at least tens of thousands of people could be fed.

"That's the Ship Parking Mountain!"

Zhang Zaixian smiled bitterly: "Captain Lu, we haven't tried your idea, in the early years, the ancestors also dug a weir pond on that mountain to prepare for water storage, but our soil here can't hold water at all, and when it rains, the weir pond is full, and after ten days and half a month, the water is gone......

"The peasants are so pitiful that they can only rely on the sky for food...... "Niu Pimple wiped tears sadly.

"When people live, they have to fight with the sky and the earth, there is always a way!"

Lu Yuan already had a few vague thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and directly asked Zhang Zaixian to take him around the vicinity of Dock Mountain.

The ravine is extremely deep, and the drop at the foot of the mountain is not less than seven or eight hundred meters, and when he sees this mountain, he understands the origin of the name of this mountain - there is a river at the foot of the mountain, and the water potential is not small, but the river is full of rocks near it, and there is no farmland that can be cultivated at all.

There is a small wharf built at the foot of the mountain, and several broken fishing boats are parked next to it, but the current here is relatively fast, and it is estimated that it is impossible to make a living by fishing.

"Every dry season, seeing the water in this river can't be used, watching the crops dry up and dying, I feel uncomfortable......" Zhang Zaixian sighed.

"Hahaha......"

Lu Yuan laughed, patted Zhang Zaixian's shoulder and said: "Village Chief Zhang, you can rest assured, from next year, our Trojan County will no longer be short of water, and the Trojan County where birds don't will become history completely, here, under the governance of our Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, it will become a land of fish and rice, a rich land for everyone!" ”

"That feeling is so ......",

Zhang Zaixian said happily, but his eyes flickered, and at first glance, it seemed that he had a sentence written on his face - boy, you don't brag and don't make drafts, the problems that the ancestors have lived here for thousands of years and have not been able to solve, you can solve them as soon as you come? Do you really think of yourself as a god?

Lu Yuan didn't explain, because he always believed in one sentence, that is, things are done, not said!

But Niu Pimple is full of confidence in him, in his eyes, Lu Yuan is a living immortal, and there is nothing he can't do.

"Turn left...... Tell you to the left, what are you turning around? ”

The big bear roared like thunder, and dozens of newly recruited soldiers practiced standing and other foundations under his command, but one turned left and right to make these recruits dizzy, and some people turned around and touched their heads with the people in the team, staring at each other and then dazed.

In the absence of cultural education, people's thinking is so simple that it is somewhat ignorant, and there is no distinction between left and right, and it is true that it has existed in history.

This is not a trivial matter for a soldier.
