Chapter 25 Pre-Hunting Arrangements
After returning from the Thousand Households, Feng Youcai felt that it was almost winter now, and if he continued to build the city wall, it would not be very strong, so he stopped the construction of the city wall first, and now he is going all out to build the military camp and residence, how many pairs of houses can be built, and the military camp must be completed, otherwise there will really be no place to live in winter, and now it will feel very cold when living in a tent at night, and it is estimated that it will start to snow in half a month.

The 55 horses captured last time were actually synthesized from the system, a total of 5 small banners of light cavalry, and now Zhao Gaoming, the deputy hundred, is responsible for command and training. Now that there is 1 cavalry of the general banner, plus the young master's private soldiers, close to 70 cavalry, it is estimated that the 100-man team of the Mongols will definitely be able to stay, which also makes the construction personnel not worried about the arrival of the Mongolian cavalry.
Lu Xiao's recent work has been very good, not only busy transporting food, but also preparing vegetables, and even all the materials needed for construction are all he managed to buy.
Here, Feng Youcai couldn't help much, so he went home and stayed for 1 day to accompany his mother. I've been in this world for so long, and I just stayed at home for one night, and I feel that it's too little. Niuniu is very happy that Feng Youcai can come back, now her little husband is a hundred households, several brothers and many neighbors are working under the husband, the husband is really amazing, he is a hundred households at a young age, so he has been busy making food, and now he has a little change in his hand, and he can buy something that his husband likes to eat.
I went to Li Baihu's house first, and I want to thank Li Baihu for his help, otherwise I would definitely not have risen to 100 households so quickly, although it was a trial of 100 households, it was also 100 households. The most important thing is that Li Baihu gave me all the land north of the North Great Wall, which also set a precedent, and when Huang Zhen implemented this policy again, it was much easier to gather, so that Feng Youcai easily obtained more than 700,000 mu of good land, although it is still barren, as long as it is reclaimed, it is absolutely the best water to irrigate the field, which makes Feng Youcai feel very Li Baihu. In order to support Feng Youcai, Li Baihu gave all the craftsmen of the 100 households to Feng Youcai, which also made Feng Youcai have a good impression of Li Baihu, which solved his own needs, and also allowed these craftsmen to have food, no longer so miserable, although in essence, Li Baihu was throwing off the burden, but after all, it was a good thing.
However, when Feng Youcai said that he now has 68 cavalry, he was still very envious, this kid is really fateful, his luck is so good that he is against the sky, Lao Tzu has not had 68 cavalry in his life.
By the way, I went to Zhao Laozhuan's house again, and gave him 10 catties of pork, 1 bag of rice and 1 bag of white noodles, to be honest, in this era, white noodles are still a luxury, and it is hard work to grind wheat. Zhao Laozhuan also accepted it calmly, after all, he knew that Feng Youcai was rich and had food, and he didn't know how he came here. However, he can be regarded as a good deed when he is old, not only helping Feng Youcai, a kid, but also allowing many poor military families like himself to have a full meal, and they can also get a salary, which is a win-win thing, a good thing, and he can be regarded as accumulating virtue. Besides, this kid has never forgotten my goodness, and he has sent things three and twice, although he doesn't care about his things, but he still cares about his mind, after all, this is something sent by hundreds of households, and he is very pleased; In addition, he didn't disgrace me, I heard that all he worked there was rice or flatbread to eat casually, and until he was full, he didn't deceive me, so that I could have face in front of my brothers.
This year, it was also Zhao Laozhuan who helped and hired thousands of workers to construct, otherwise the construction progress would be lower, Feng Youcai is grateful to Zhao Laozhuan from the bottom of his heart.
When she went home for dinner, Niuniu had already prepared all the meals, and Niuniu's cooking skills were also good, and the boasting Niuniu blushed, after all, she was still a little girl. Now my mother doesn't weave anymore, and she is happy at home, and I really want to buy them a maid, but my mother and Niuniu don't agree, so forget it. When chatting with her mother, Niuniu sat quietly and listened, just like listening to a story. Feng Youcai promised her that he would take her out to play next spring, when the weather was warm, but now the weather is getting colder, and there is no place to play. I also told my mother that in winter, Mongolians may come very often, so the number of times I go home may be less recently, and my mother still instructed me as always, to pay attention to safety, eat well, and don't be embarrassed by the words that I have nagged thousands of times for myself. Mother also said that the life of the two sisters' families is not very good, and they are all difficult, Feng Youcai said, the hardships are temporary, and it will be fine in the future. Before leaving, Feng Youcai left 30 taels of silver for his mother, and told her to eat well, if her sister's family comes, help her sister's family, take care of a few little nephews and nieces, and let them send some rice and white noodles back to the family after they go back. and gave Niu Niu 5 taels of silver to make cotton clothes and cotton shoes.
After living at home for 2 days, I returned to Zhenguandun, and now there are a hundred barracks built, and now Feng Youcai's heart is basically in his stomach, even if it starts to snow now, he is not afraid, at least everyone can squeeze into the barracks to live, so that they will not live in tents in the cold winter.
Feng Youcai arranged for Lu Xiao to release the news that Zhenguandun purchased firewood in large quantities, which could be used to burn the kang in winter.
They also arranged for the elderly and children to start collecting thatch in the morning and afternoon, so that it could be dried and placed on the kang in winter. It was also arranged for these old men and children to dig horse pits within a two-mile radius around the fort to prevent the Mongol cavalry from attacking the fort in winter.
As for the house, dozens of small yards have been built, but they have not yet been moved in, and the walls and floors are still very wet; The best construction is the classroom, 3 spans for one classroom, a total of 3 classrooms were built, the ground inside the classroom is relatively high, the fire path is designed below the ground, there is a hearth outside, and the hearth can be burned in the cold winter, so that the classroom will be very warm. Lu Xiao has already been asked to hire a few Xiucai to be Mr. Teacher, and when there is nothing to do in winter, the class can be started, and the class can be officially opened next spring. This also gave hope to many families, and Feng Youcai promised that the children of these builders could go to school for free.
The soldiers' preliminary inspection has ended, and the 500 people have been decided, and when the construction is over, these people can be turned into security guards, whose duty is to protect the town and guard the town and the town.
He also arranged for Lu Xiao to ensure that each beacon pier had at least one month's rations in stock, in case of heavy snow or the Mongols could not deliver supplies in time, and besides, it was about to snow, so all the food could be contained.
The carpenter is now making tables and chairs for the school, and the requirements are what the future generations look like, and they can't use the furniture that they kneel on now, it's too uncomfortable, it's the drawings provided by Feng Youcai. After making the school's furniture, he made desks and chairs for the office staff, which was also a drawing provided by Feng Youcai.
Feng Youcai thought of these things, and if he couldn't think of them, let Zheng Hao continue to work hard. Winter is coming, the Yellow River is about to freeze, and after the Yellow River freezes, it will lose the role of the Yellow River, and the Mongols on the Ordos side will also cross the Yellow River to the west. In fact, these people are all warmongers, they all like to take the initiative, they just like to fight, and the result is the same whether they discuss or not.
With Zhao Gaoming here, he led 500 security troops, and the original 13 synthetic soldiers were responsible for training; He also left Feng Di, Feng Jiu, and Feng Shi to lead these 55 cavalrymen. Feng Youcai felt that Zhenguan Fort should be able to be guarded.
