As the firewood burned, and then the water was splashed, the rocks at the entrance of the cave cracked, softened, and slipped like ice, and the once neat opening of the cave became tattered......

The only remaining hesitation in the eyes of the busy and onlookers has become nowhere to be seen, and the next thing is to repeat the labor, no one doubts anything anymore, together with the people who originally watched the excitement and watch, and in the afternoon dozens of old craftsmen who do not need to participate in the training, claiming to be in the name of seeing the new flower work to understand the new stone opening mode, by the way, help to shovel away the gravel, clean up the floating objects, refill the firewood, light the fire and burn, and shovel the snow on the other side, melt the snow and turn the water...... This remote cave entrance is as lively as a festival.

In the end, there are many people and there is a lot of strength, and it is just a matter of expanding the entrance of the cave, it did not take two or three days as Lao Luo expected, only one and a half days, the originally narrow small hole was expanded into a smooth road that can accommodate the passage of the van, and the fireworks of the last barbecue rock were extinguished by cold water, and after cleaning the passage mouth, he could finally enter the cave calmly.

There are thousands of square meters in the cave, the highest cave wall is thirty or forty meters from the ground, there are a few holes in the corners that do not know where to go, this is not a lava terrain, but an ice erosion landform, the ground is very flat, there are no stalagmites that will stumble people's footsteps, there are several natural windows on the dome that can vaguely see the sky, although it is not very regular, but there is no need to worry about the cold wind in winter, and there is no need to worry about the fireworks in the cave in the future......

"Dao Ancestor is above, this is simply the best workshop created by God...... There can be at least twenty forges here, and there are sixty sets of anvils......" Li Ne followed Lao Luo into the cave, looked around, and sighed loudly.

"Not only can you put a forge, if you can't dig a sand pit, it's enough to place four smelting furnaces......" Li Nie was followed by the master smelter who was busy casting in Sylvan at the beginning, and it was the fifth uncle of Zong who liked to work against Li Ne.

As for the stubborn old man who likes to join in the fun? Now I can't get out of it, the old guy is busy with the winter training of civilians, and he shouts and scolds every day, I don't know how majestic it is.

"Put the refining furnace, in this winter, there is nowhere to find iron and stone with the refining furnace, Zong Lao Wu, don't make trouble!" Thinking of hearing the sound of hammering and hammering again, Li Nie's mood was not to mention how good.

"Hey......" Uncle Zong smiled and stopped talking.

The smell of fireworks from the previous barbecue rocks was still in the air, and the stone walls inside the cave were black and full of charcoal from the fireworks, but it was just right for the environment of the workshop.

Probably the most primitive mountain bullet reloading arsenal in later generations is also this kind of environment, right?

Lao Luo thought silently.

Next, the old guys shouted at the young craftsmen and apprentices to bring the soft gravel and muck that had been burned outside the cave, filled several holes that did not need to be explored, and then built the forge with stones on the edge of the cave, and even had time to order everyone to repair the entrance of the cave.

Lao Luo, who broke away from the great cause of opening caves, was not idle.

Kuzak is surrounded by mountains to the north, hills to the east, and mountains to the south, but far to the south of the Syr Darya, the water of medicine. Because it was already a harsh winter, after the heavy snowfall, the Syr Darya was completely frozen. Lao Luo led people to drive the four-wheeled carriage directly through the ice, according to some memories from later generations, plus a spiritual power induction to explore the surface under the snow, and soon found an open-pit coal mine with small reserves in the south of the river, which directly and easily solved the future fuel problem of the workshop, which is really not a difficult thing.

At this point, the matter of civil needs for Lao Luo has come to an end, not that he has no patience to develop civil affairs with peace of mind, but in fact, this place is just a temporary place to settle down, and the people of Qarakhanid next to him are difficult to understand, and there are Turkmen not far away, and it is not a good time to set up camp and develop themselves.

Putting down the trivial things that are being prepared, Lao Luo is planning the expected place to live in the future, a starting point.

According to the historical context in his memory, the area of his hometown Suide happened to be the place of conquest of Song Liao and Western Xia in the future during this period.

So where to get out of this place?

Lao Luo was a little hesitant, judging from the general political environment, it was not a wise move to confront Song Liao immediately, not to mention fighting with Song Liao, he always had a feeling of fighting a civil war.

If you choose the position of Suide at this time, you are destined to be attacked by the Song and Liao countries, and Lao Luo, who only has more than 10,000 soldiers at hand, can't play a direct confrontation. It's nothing to fight left and right, but it's hard to say if you want to calm down and develop.

According to the comprehensive consideration of the location environment, the south is the Song, the north is Liao, although the dynasty of this era is not very good to control the place, but it is not a good place to go, the Hetao area (1) is the best choice, choose in Suide is not peaceful, then ......

Scratching his finger around the map, Lao Luo's gaze stayed on the place of Western Xia, by the Yellow River...... Yinzhou and Jingzhou ...... That is, the place of Xingqing Mansion during this period. In this position, you can hold the silk trade route, you can go down the river to the sea, you can go south to Bashu to communicate the grain route, and you can go north to the grassland, and make some contact with your mother's side......

It's just that right now, the Dingyan Army, Lao Luo muttered, according to the business saying some time ago, the Dingyan Army controlled by the party is entrenched here, Li Jiqian is dead, and now it is controlled by Li Deming, as for Yuan Hao, who is famous in later generations, he is only three years old......

"Smack", Lao Luo slapped his face, damn, Tianyu didn't take it, but took the blame...... Anyway, the party members here will succeed for a while in the future, this time the eastward return may also be a roadblock, they who control the business road are the ones who collect protection money along the way, who will be beaten if they don't beat him?

As for the legendary Yuan Hao, all the Yeli family is going to die......

After making a decision, Lao Luo began to make a fuss about this core.

Although I am not familiar with the combat strength of the party members in this period, it is estimated that there will be no big differences in the face of various situations, and the party and the Qarakhanid people are not in harmony, and it should be good to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but first of all, it is necessary to show the power to drive the tiger, not to mention that according to historical records, the party members only began to develop greatly when Yuan Hao became the emperor, and there must be no such thing as an iron harrier and an iron float at the moment......

But what if you have some good combat power?

Lao Luo is a special soldier who has wandered among thousands of troops in later generations, and he is not a light enemy, and he really didn't take the party members at this time in his eyes.

Although he also knew that he couldn't believe all the history books, Li Jiqian couldn't be wrong to play left and right between Song and Liao, if it wasn't for his lack of strength, how could he bow down to the unruly party members?

For Lao Luo, it is simple to make a plan, but when it comes to the future of Western Xia, he can't help but make more preparations, and more than a dozen different plans have been made, and it has been more than ten days later.

Relax the mood of Lao Luo with the sled drawings that have been drawn a long time ago to find the cave workshop that has started, this thing is very simple, two large feet of thirty or forty centimeters wide skis placed under the carriage of ideas, as for single skis are easier to do, order a few exquisite accessories, choose some good wood, knife and axe cutting plus polishing is enough.

Of course, as long as this kind of thing is displayed, it will inevitably cause everyone to chase after it. So along with the clumsy Gonzhas and the big man Stan have become obsessed with skiing, every day guest carpenter carving skis is a must-do activity, the children in the boy camp naturally also have hand-pushed sleds as big toys, Lao Luo even opened a few group sleigh competitions for the children, of course, the civilian children who are participating in the winter training also joined.

In the days that followed, in addition to training, the people in the small town of Kuzak saw some guys with blue noses and swollen faces accustomed to the usual routine, but no one made fun of them, because the whole town was filled with a smell of all the people being soldiers.

The people who train in rotation are not easy, in the past, they watched the humble expression of the baby and his father waving the long knife in rows, and the fierce baby mother was also holding a wooden pole that was much longer than the rolling pin to pick and smash the spurs, and there were a group of old men and old ladies with white hair next to them pointing fingers on the side, how a lively one.

There are no idlers in Kuzak City, everyone has their own things to do, so the daily consumption begins to increase. But with Lao Luo, who is well-prepared, there is no shortage of food and the like, and you can even eat fresh, except for green vegetables. Every five days, Lao Luo would lead people to dig ice nets and fish on the lake to the east, and the fellows of the scout camp could also go hunting in the mountains and forests on their days off, and bears, wolves, wild boars, hares, and pheasants could all satisfy the appetites of the pot-bellied men and women who consumed a lot of physical strength.

The days are passing day by day, tens of thousands of civilians are busy with necessary things every day, but also have to participate in training, although a little tired, but day by day full and strong, not to mention the veterans and recruits in the army, the training is more difficult than before, and they have no energy to go to those grassland "bride-to-be" who also participate in the training to laugh.

Seeing that the daily routine of winter had begun to get on track, and there had been no killing for more than a month, Lao Luo's restless heart moved again.
