buried the remains of the thieves to avoid the outbreak of the plague, everyone then returned, Wu Yong and Xu Zhengze walked in front, the two discussed the matter of recruiting troops, today's battle, in the village their fame is like the sky, to become famous as soon as possible, while the iron is hot, Xu Zhengze suggested to erect a flag to recruit people, Wu Yong immediately agreed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because there has been no name, it is awkward to call, the so-called justification, Xu Zhengze felt that they had to at least have a name, the two thought for a long time and had no clue, Wu Yong rarely read, Xu Zheng is not talented, the two discussed for a long time, and finally discussed a vulgar name called "Wanshengjun", but it was Wu Yong, who wanted to please a good fortune, so that the thin-skinned Xu Zhengze couldn't help blushing, and they dared to name it.

The Stone Buddha Temple is about twenty miles away, so after eating lunch early, Wu Yong took two people and set off quickly. Before this, Xu Zhengze erected the banner of Wanshengjun and began to recruit troops, the village was a lot of young and strong, and then sent people around to pull acquaintances, relying on their prestige in today's battle, but in an hour, more than 30 people came.

In just a few days, their ranks have more than quadrupled. It's just that there are more people and more things, and Xu Zhengze has never managed so many people, so he can't help but be a little in a hurry. With so many people, he doesn't want to simply divide them all into small soldiers, use what they can, and concentrate on farming.

If you don't have pen and paper, you can't make a simple record, you have to rely on your brain to remember, and it was okay when there were few people, but now it can't, so you have to divide these people into good jobs.

According to Xu Zhengze's idea, he hopes to find some useful craftsmen in it, especially craftsmen who are good at making weapons, and if he wants to become an organization that makes a difference, then looking for and mining all kinds of talents and organizing the production of various materials is the most important thing, which directly determines the combat effectiveness of an organization.

He called an old man from the team and asked him to ask questions in front, and the first thing he asked was if there was a blacksmith. In feudal society, iron was a strategic material second only to grain. Whether it is a weapon or a farm tool, a lot of iron must be used, which is the key thing for them.

Unfortunately, no. Xu Zhengze was very disappointed, which meant that there would be no craftsmen who could make weapons, and then asked if anyone could make weapons and farm tools, and no one would, and asked if there were anyone who knew some medical skills, and no one would ask about carpenters and bricklayers, but there were a few people who would, and Xu Zhengze was no longer interested in asking again, what he was most concerned about at the moment was nothing more than farming and warfare, plus doctors, this is something to be done immediately, and there is no need to rush the rest.

Seeing that he didn't find the professionals he urgently needed, Xu Zhengze didn't bother anymore, so he beckoned everyone to start lining up, two of them were seriously injured in the room, and two more followed Wu Yong, and now there are still thirty-eight people here, and with the assistance of the old man who joined a few days earlier, everyone was quickly lined up in four rows.

There are also four veterans in the ranks, Xu Zhengze divided everyone into four teams, and temporarily designated them to become captains, but Xu Zhengze also said ugly things ahead, this is just a temporary arrangement, after a few days, everyone is familiar with it, and the training is on the right track.

Even those old people have not trained for a few days, so Xu Zhengze taught everyone from the beginning, stood in line for an hour, that is, turned left and right, and added a backward turn, after this battle, Xu Zhengze's courage is also known, today's blade thief, except for Wu Yong is him, everyone can't help but be in awe and respect for this tall showman.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze of this battle, Xu Zhengze did not hesitate to increase the intensity and time of training, in the past, he and Wu Yong did not stand up, everyone was not convinced by them, those days could only train for an hour and then herded the sheep, today he has been training for more than three hours, seeing that the sun is about to set, this is why everyone disbanded. In the morning, seeing that Xu Zhengze stabbed and killed thieves with bamboo guns, everyone was shocked, so after training for such a long time, these people all obediently followed Xu Zhengze's requirements, and he always maintained patience, but sometimes when he encountered a really hopeless stupid, he couldn't bear to kick it, and the effect was not bad, a few fools were kicked by him, and it was also funny.

After the training that day, Xu Zhengze arranged a few people to go fishing, and arranged for the Pei brothers and sisters to take care of the horses, leaving those few craftsmen who knew carpentry, and the rest of the people sent them to be their own men.

After calling everyone over, Xu Zhengze asked everyone how many wooden boats might they make? Or simply a raft. Boating on the lake, fishing will be more convenient, and the weaving of fishing nets to those women is good, Wu Yong and his mother will do it, with these profit tools, there is no need to keep guarding the near shore, after all, fishing on the shore, not to mention, there are few fish, especially recently the fish have become smarter, and there are many fewer fish on the shore.

A young man spoke: "We live near the Wu Lake, and we have built small boats before, as long as there is enough wood, there is no problem. ”

Xu Zhengze was very interested and asked, "What's your name?" ”

“…… Liu Hu. ”

"Well, then you'll be in charge of building the ship." Xu Zhengze made a final decision, and everyone looked at him with jealousy and envy in an instant. Seeing that Liu Hu was almost unable to help himself with excitement for a moment, Xu Zhengze was also secretly amused, as for it, "Listen to what you mean, it seems that there are some difficulties in wood, there are many woods nearby, just use wood?" Is it because the wood used to make the ship material needs to be dried for a long time? ”

"Well, yes, and the shipbuilding wood is particular, it is best to choose fir and pine, and it is necessary to oil and dry it repeatedly, and it takes two or three years of hard work to select. Shipbuilding generally requires the preparation of timber in advance. Xu Zhengze was also familiar with it, he vaguely remembered that he used to read books to explain this, in short, it was very complicated and time-consuming, but.

But will he be able to stay here for another year? Xu Zhengze was very skeptical, what time is it now? Chongzhen four years, the world was in turmoil, when the peasant uprising in Shaanxi broke out on a large scale, there was already a large number of rebels in Shanxi, a year later, he Xu Zhengze was still or not, he was not sure, just a boat, there was no place to go away from Wu Lake, what to do in the long run?

Because of such thoughts, Xu Zhengze said directly: "You don't have to think so far, you can use it for a while first, and besides, the lake surnamed Wu is calm, can you still capsize the boat?" You can start doing it tomorrow. ”

Several people only said yes, their faces were bitter, Xu Zhengze saw it, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's the matter, if you have any opinions, just mention them." ”

Seeing that Xu Zhengze was easy-going, someone finally said: "We still have acres to take care of." "Everyone has enclosed the fields here, in such troubled times, the crops growing in the fields are their lifeblood, how can they give up their acres to focus on other things?

"Well, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone else to help you share the burden." Xu Zhengze said casually, this is his remark to comfort everyone. In fact, he had an idea in his heart, that is, to use these acres of land as public land, everyone worked together, and the harvested grain was owned by everyone, of course, this matter was very hateful, so he had to get Wu Yong's support first, but he didn't dare to say nonsense.

After arranging the shipbuilding, Xu Zhengze asked everyone if they knew where there were blacksmiths nearby, which was the issue he was most concerned about at present, in addition to the food problem. And someone gave him the answer to this matter, a young man named Lin Da told him that there was a blacksmith in the village, and he fled from the same village, and his skills were quite good.

I didn't expect that there was really a blacksmith, and Xu Zhengze, who was overjoyed, immediately went to find someone.

Xu Zhengze has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to move, for more than two months, he has often met with people in the village, most of whom have familiar faces, but unfortunately they can't be named, and the details of those people are even more unclear. Lin Da took him to a house, Xu Zhengze thought for a while, and an image of a middle-aged and elderly man with a rickety body and gray hair appeared in his mind, this person was old and frail, hunched over, and was able to survive, which was really surprising - the catastrophe has always survived the young and strong, and the old and weak women and children are easily sacrificed because of their weak status.

After asking Lin Da's name, Xu Zhengze stepped forward and pushed open the door and shouted inside, "Is Lin Boke at home?" ”

Soon an old man came out of the house, and Xu Zhengze found that this person was much stronger than he thought, unlike the common refugees at this time, who were always thin and dry. He stepped forward to greet politely and asked, "Lin Bo, we have something to make, I heard that you used to be a blacksmith, so I came over and asked if you were interested." ”

"Oh, Xiu is you. What are you going to hit? I'll see if I can make it. "Although this person is strong, but he has no fierce spirit, he speaks and does things with a little flattery, this morning this person also saw Wu Yong and Xu Zhengze fighting, this white-faced Xiucai is not soft at all when he kills people, he is naturally afraid.

"Shoot some weapons—just spearheads, and some farm tools, can you make them?"

"No problem, no problem, it's just this salary...... "The old man's craftsmanship is not bad, after all, he has decades of experience, some simple weapons, as well as hoes, shovels, iron plows and other farm tools, all of which are not a problem.

"The salary ......" Xu Zhengze was also worried when he heard it, he didn't have copper money - he couldn't buy anything if he had it, and it wasn't scrap copper and rotten iron? But if you don't give money, what do you give? There's no food.

Seeing that Xu Zhengze was silent, the old blacksmith was worried in his heart, and whispered: "There is no salary, and the old man can have a meal." ”

Hearing what the old blacksmith said, Xu Zhengze smiled: "How come? It's better to manage 11,000,000 tons, and keep it in charge. ”
