Chapter Twenty-Three: The Nail Household Under the Mountain
In the past ten days, Linghe City has gradually taken on its appearance. The city wall was also half high, and Yang Fan took the original 1,000 men and horses all day long, and mixed in the Thirteen Peaks all day long.
Under the leadership of Qi Dabai, a potter, the third echelon finally built the kind of earthen blast furnace that Yang Fan requested. It is the kind of blast furnace that our great working people did to make earth and steel in the Great Yue Jin. Yang Fan instructed Qi Dabai to mix the ground lime ore with clay and burn it for me like a kiln, and then he took the mountain map made by these people and continued to move forward.
"Lord Yang, there are a total of eighty-four households in these thirteen peaks, and eighty households have moved out in the past few days, and four households still refuse to move out."
Yang Fan frowned, did this nail household really have it from ancient times to the present, and said: "What's the matter, didn't you explain the situation to them?" β
A hundred households said: "I said it, but that day there was a Wanghai Temple at the foot of Luojing Mountain, and the temple and monks inside refused to move, and the believers of the four households next to it refused to leave." Adults, you said that you can't force it, and the little ones are about to wear out their mouths, that is, they don't listen to persuasion. β
Yang Fan's face turned dark, he really didn't want to die. "You first go to the places that were marked and set up according to the original plan, and I'll solve it over there."
"Yes!" Five hundred cavalry scattered in all directions, rushing towards the Thirteen Peaks.

"You stay here first. Lao Hong, the fat man and I went in. "Yang Fan has never done the demolition of nail households, but he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run. If this group of soldiers rushed in, it would be counterproductive.
As soon as Yang Fan walked to the temple gate, the sharp-eyed Miao Zhu saw the pile of officers and soldiers in the distance, and hurriedly ran in, "Presiding, those officers and soldiers have come to demolish the temple again." β
"What? Not again? Hurry up and close the temple door! β
Miaozhu shouted, "Come...... It was too late, they came in. Miao Zhu was so nervous that he even snorted a shoe on the threshold, looked at Yang Fan and the three of them awkwardly, and smiled.
"Who's the host?"
"Amitabha. Lao Wei is exactly, a few officials, the small temple is not easy, and he still looks at Haihan. The old monk walked out of the temple gate, folded his hands and begged.
Yang Fan said: "You don't know which is more important? That Jiannu is about to go east, and I am so kind to persuade him, but he is so stubborn? β
"Amitabha, God has the virtue of a good life. If the official is trying to persuade me to leave the temple, there is no need. The temple is in the people, and the monk hits the bell for a day. I believe that those distant visitors will be influenced by our Buddha and will not harm these innocent people. β
Yang Fan directly interrupted the old monk's broken thoughts, "I don't have anything to do with you." If you want to die, don't drag everyone to die together. There are three families around here, you go and do the work, let them move out as much as possible. Yang Fan had heard that the monk temple didn't even take the devil with him when he came, and he gave up his plan to persuade him.
"Donor, this is difficult for a strong man. Those people were influenced by my Buddha and were willing to always accompany the green lantern, why did the donor still be aggressive? β
"What kind of person am I being aggressive?" Yang Fan hates the kind of indiscriminate second goods who like to directly buckle their hats.
"The donor just wants to demolish the temple, why bother looking for this kind of reason to build slaves to the east?"
"Who said I was going to demolish the temple?" Yang Fan's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at the fat man.
The fat man rubbed his hands and said a little twisted: "Two days ago, the hundred households spent a lot of money, but these bald donkeys just refused to go, and the hundred households were in a hurry, so they said that they would demolish the Wanghai Temple to see if they could move." β
"Okay, I said, don't demolish the temple. Move out now. β
"Donor, do you still want to demolish the temple?"
"I won't demolish the temple, it's just that it's dangerous here, you guys leave first. etc......"
"Amitabha, donor. The monks don't say anything, and the old man does see your determination to demolish the temple. If the donor has made up his mind, walk over the corpse of the old man. β
ββ¦β¦β
Yang Fan was convinced, turned to look at the fat man and Lao Hong, and said, "Do I seem to be the kind of person who wants to demolish the temple?" β
The two nodded, saw the anger on Yang Fan's face again, hurriedly shook their heads, and said, "It's not like it!" He received disdainful glances from the temple and a few small novices.
"Don't go and pull down." Yang Fan left with his hands in his hands. If this person doesn't leave, will he still carry them away? I'm sorry, but I don't have the obligation and effort.
Now that time is pressing, Yang Fan also has to take care of the overall situation, let him nail it like this, and it is not they who will suffer at that time. When Yang Fan returned to Pingdingshan, he found Qi Dabai sitting on the ground with a sad face.
"Qi Dabai, what's going on?"
Seeing that Yang Fan was back, Qi Dabai hurriedly complained: "Lord Yang, I'm sorry for you." You give the small task, and the small one disgraces you. β
Yang Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, take me to see." β
Yang Fan flipped off the horse, ready to go and see what was going on with what he wanted. The fire in the blast furnace had been extinguished, and there was still a slight trace of residual heat. Yang Fan looked at the basket of gray lumpy objects that had just been pulled out of the stove. Qi Dabai sighed and said, "Although I don't know where Lord Yang got the recipe, but the small one was not burned well, and it was burned like this." β
"Well done, Qi Dabai. It's going to burn like that in the future! Yang Fan picked up the lumpy things, "Cover them all with straw and transport them to the vacant houses that are a little closer." β
Qi Dabai was stunned, this is all burned like this, and he is still doing a good job? He touched the back of his head, not knowing what Yang Fan wanted these things for. He wondered if Yang Fan wanted to refine the elixir? He hurried after him and carried the basket with him.
Zu Dashou has been urging food and salary for more than ten days, and he has also been in the city for two months, as long as that plan can be realized, two months' food and salary will definitely be enough. He walked to Yang Fan, who was wiping his face on the side, and said, "Yang Zi, how can you be so sure that this Emperor Taiji will besiege the city and send reinforcements, what if he kills him directly?" β
"Kill in? He hasn't eaten enough of the previous lessons? Even if he chooses to attack the city, it will be more beneficial to us. With this artillery, their cavalry has no temper. What's more, when I wipe the cement on the city wall, he Huang Taiji can't see the reality of the void, and he must not dare to attack the city rashly. β
"Cement? What's that? β
Yang Fan shook the towel and said, "In the past ten days in the Thirteenth Peak, I have been tinkering with this kind of thing." If it weren't for the urgency of time, the city wall made of reinforced concrete would not have been able to be bombarded. β
Zu Dashou's mind was a little confused, what the hell is this cement, is it harder than stone? The cannon can't be fired. His hand touched Yang Fan's brain.
"What?"
Zu Dashou said dumbly: "I just want to touch it, how long is this brain." What's the difference with my solid brain. β
