Chapter 58: Setting Up and Moving

Early in the morning of the second day, Wang Yue took Wang Youhua and his party of more than 30 people out of the east gate, headed southeast of Xingyuan, and soon stopped at a lake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe water in this lake flows down from the mountains to the south and collects here to form a lake. There is a meadow of several thousand acres around the lake, and there are only a few scattered families on it.

Seeing this, Wang Yue decided to build a new military camp here and decided to build a new mansion here. In this way, Wang Yue can go back and forth between home and school at any time. Hearing this, Wang Youhua and others echoed and said that they would also build a house for themselves next to Wang Yue's house. These people around Wang Yue also have some money in their hands, and it is not a problem to build a new house for themselves.

When Wang Yue heard Wang Youhua's words, he smiled and didn't say anything. He had heard a lot of things like this these days, and the villagers felt embarrassed to live in their own homes. Wang Yue has no way to do this, if the other party wants to move out, let them move out, and according to Wang Youhua, he and these people actually live together, but there is just one more wall.

Now that the place has been chosen, Wang Yue and the others went home and informed the ironclad army of the news. After everyone learned the news, they asked to build their own houses near Wang Yue's house, firstly, they now have money, and they are indeed ready to build a house for themselves. The second is that it is convenient for everyone to train there, and they don't have to run back and forth for a long distance.

But Wang Yue has a requirement for this, that is, the work of building houses must be handed over to those refugees outside the city, so that those refugees can also earn a sum of money, and the winter will be better.

Originally, the sergeants lived outside the city, and there were many refugee friends. Therefore, when they heard Wang Yue say this, they all agreed, and they also wanted to help their friends, but they had more than enough heart but not enough strength. Now that they finally have this opportunity, even if Wang Yue doesn't say it, they will do it.

As soon as he said it, Wang Yue asked the sergeants to spread the news outside the city, and set up a table in the southeast region for recruiting people to register.

On the second day, there was a long queue at the registry. Seeing this, Wang Yue hurriedly announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, since we need to build a house with a limited number of people, we will first recruit skilled masons, carpenters, and others!" ”

Seeing this, those who did not have the skills were a little depressed, and they hoped that they would earn some silver this time, so that they could buy some cotton clothes for their families, and if they were lucky, they could build a thatched hut. In this way, the family will be guaranteed to survive the winter. But now their hopes have undoubtedly been shattered.

Wang Yue also saw the frustration of these people, and then hurriedly said: "Don't be frustrated, although we only recruit craftsmen. But that doesn't mean we don't want ordinary workers, and when we're done recruiting craftsmen, if there's still a shortage of people, we'll give priority to you. In addition, we will buy all the wood and stone we need to build a house, as long as you bring it. ”

Hearing Wang Yue's promise, the eyes of the refugees, who were still depressed, flashed with hope. As long as you can earn money, it is much better to have work than nothing, and this quarrying of stone and wood does not require any skills at all, as long as you have the strength. So, these refugees who had no skills went up the mountain in groups.

……

It is said that when Wang Yue saw that there were nearly 1,000 craftsmen he had recruited, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity. As a modern man, he knows the value of these people. To develop, it is necessary to build, and in construction, these craftsmen are indispensable, so Wang Yue plans to keep these craftsmen for his own use, but this is a matter that takes time, and can only be imperceptibly changed after the completion of this matter.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of many refugees, it took less than a month. Wang Yue's house has already been built, and without the residence of the villagers, Wang Yue's new house covers an area of only more than 100 acres. Connected around the house are the houses of the villagers, although not as big as Wang Yue's house, but at least it is a courtyard house. Beyond this are the houses of the ironclad army, under Wang Yue's planning, these houses are built very neatly, and Wang Yue has left room for future road construction.

Viewed from above, the dwelling looks about a square. The houses of each ironclad army are located in the four corners of the square, leaving a road in the middle of the word 'ten', and in the focus of this 'ten' character, Wang Yue's new house and school field are built here, and there is only one road between Wang Yue's house and the school field, forming a 'day' character in the middle of this square.

On the day when this dwelling was built, at the invitation of everyone, Wang Yue gave this dwelling a name, called 'Tiejiazhuang'. On the day when the ironclad village was completed, Wang Yue's fellow villagers and the ironclad army all moved out of the city, and the mighty convoy once again became a scenic line in Xingyuan.

At the time of Wang Yue's relocation, the prefect of Xingyuan came to congratulate Wang Yue. Looking at the appearance of Tiejiazhuang, the prefect couldn't help but sigh: "If I can build such a house in the whole territory of Xingyuan, then my Xingyuan will definitely become the first mansion of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The prefect is right, not to mention how Wang Yue's house is. The walls of the houses of nearly a thousand tiger households of the ironclad sergeants were all built with mud and tamped up, and the roofs of the houses were all green cloth tiles. In the era of the Great Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as the 'first village'.

In addition to this ironclad village, the craftsmen who built the house also built their own houses outside, their houses are naturally not as beautiful as the ironclad village, but they are enough to withstand the cold winter.

After building the house, Wang Yue prepared the next step, which was to expand the army. After the task was released, he didn't care about this matter, and handed it over to Wang Youhua, after all, he already had an experience, and he had to do it with a lot of means. As for Wang Yue himself, he is going to prepare for the next year's tribute examination, and only when he is admitted to the Jinshi can he have the qualifications to be an official, will he have the opportunity to step into the temple, and can he realize Wang Yue's ambitions.

In this expansion, Wang Yue decided to recruit 2,000 recruits, so that he could make up enough for a regiment. In his plan, a regiment should have three battalions, each with four companies with a total of 1,000 men, and now his two battalions are not satisfied with the strength of these two battalions.

In addition to these things, there is another important thing for Wang Yue, that is, to accompany his wife. Now Yue'er's belly is already bulging, Wang Yue is not worried about the care of those subordinates, and he always feels that he can rest assured when he is on the side.
