When Wang Hu took a long team of grain trucks and joined Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye saw not only Yang Tianshou and Mei'er, but also Li Muchen and Li Langzhong, who were angry.

Under the persecution of Wang Hu's sharp knife, Li Langzhong did not dare to blow up the stab, for fear of being injured by a boy who did not know the depths, didn't he see that the guards of the Han family also turned a blind eye to him; Now that it's easy to see the main master, Li Muchen can't help it.

"Oh, Xiao boy, uh, no, it's Xiao Baihu, you can be regarded as coming," under a pair of unkind eyes, Li Muchen ran out of the convoy in a panic, and a blinking sound sounded in his ears, so that he had to slow down, waving his hand and shouting Xiao Ye loudly.

He tried to run through, but the sharp short arrow, the fear that crackled at his feet, still made Li Langzhong, who had always loved to brag, so obedient in front of Wang Hu that he didn't even want to drink.

Han Baocai did not come to the transaction this time, firstly, Xiao Ye paid all the money, and secondly, he had a taboo against Xiao Ye's unpredictable temperament, and the only thing Li Langzhong could pray for was that Xiao Baihu had a large number of lords and put him, a drunkard, back to the county seat.

Han Jiawei delivered the goods early and had already returned when Xiao Ye arrived. And his Li Langzhong's cry, in this wilderness, no one cared about it.

went to Shiguan, where the wine was missing, he was simply worse than dead.

"Hehe, Li Langzhong, when the official saw Li Langzhong, he knew that the sick children and old people on Shiguan Mountain were really grateful," Xiao Ye bowed deeply to Li Muchen, didn't wait for him to talk more, and waved his hand to call Xiao Liuzi, "I am optimistic about Dr. Li, but there is a mistake, ask you,"

It's just a medicine household, but it's not beautiful if it's polite.

"Then what if he runs away," Xiao Liuzi asked worriedly, looking at Li Langzhong, who was covered in a sour smell, if he didn't want to sleep with one eye open.

"The crossbow in your hand is vegetarian? pierced his legs, "Xiao Ye, who didn't look back, passed the stunned Li Langzhong, and walked towards Yang Tianshou with a smile; Of course, what he values most in his eyes is the smiling Mei'er.

With the orders of the hundred households, patting the military crossbow hanging from his waist, Xiao Liuzi approached Li Muchen with a knife, and smiled in a low voice, "Doctor Li, along the way, I will serve you," The gloomy laughter made Li Muchen, whose face was full of wrinkles, stunned and his hands and feet weakened, these boys, who have not seen each other for a few days, how can they become so fierce.

Han Baocai also has a heart, not only did he give enough food and good quality this time, but also gave a cart of water tanks, more than fifty water tanks, plus a few brought earlier, it happened that each family on the mountain was divided into one, Xiao Ye looked at it thoughtfully.

After the fire pier, the convoy drove into the rugged mountainous terrain, and along the way, Xiao Ye, who was accompanied by Mei'er, once again, felt that this meadow and low forest full of autumn was full of seclusion.

Of course, Li Muchen, who was full of resentment, sat on the smoked herb cart and could only mumble incessantly.

On the way, Xiao Ye told Yang Tianshou about his experience in Qianhusuo, and also wholeheartedly introduced the general situation on the stone mountain.

Yang Tianshou, who was twisting his beard, squinted and listened to Xiao Ye's narration, and did not comment too much on Jiang Jie, but asked about the situation on the stone mountain from time to time. After all, the net worth of him and his daughter has already been connected with the distant stone mountain.

When Xiao Ye handed over the small flag waist card with the hot name to Wang Hu, Wang Hu hurriedly held the waist card, his eyes were red, and he knelt heavily at Xiao Ye's feet, "Lord Baihu, the little flag Wang Hu under his command, let the Lord drive,"

The sergeant's waist card with his name on his face was also issued to the hands of the nine sergeants, and these sons who had changed from craftsmen to military households did not know the taste of sorrow, and each happily put on the mandarin duck jacket issued down, tied the waist card, and was full of joy.

Yang Tianshou and Li Muchen looked at these young sergeants in confusion, and it was difficult to accept their expressions of such excitement.

Only Yang Mei'er followed Xiao Ye's side, her slender eyes smiled into a line, without him, these familiar boys have all become Xiao Ge'er's subordinates, so aren't everyone together.

On the third day, after a bumpy trek, the convoy met the first wave of scouts from Wang Meng's team who came to greet them, and under the leadership of the envious scouts, the convoy bypassed two large slopes and stopped at the foot of the stone mountain.

Raising his eyes to look at the stone mountain, Xiao Ye smiled and was about to point out to Yang Tianshou, but was surprised to see that on the top of the stone mountain, the circle of low stone walls that were originally eye-catching was no longer visible; Instead, there were large patches of green vines that had completely obscured the earthy stone walls.

In a few days, these vines and grasses grew so luxuriantly.

"Lord Baihu, I can't go up the mountain here, I have to take a detour there," the scout who led the way pointed in the direction of the mountain col to the west, and the corner of his eye swept Wang Hu's battle jacket again.

Xiao Ye smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "On the mountain, the sergeant in the small flag has to be haired,"

Less than ten miles to the southwest, with the shrill whistle of the scouts, three boys with spears and blades, covered in dust, jumped out of the hidden meadow and ran towards the convoy with cheers; Naturally, the ragged battle jackets on their bodies are more conspicuous than Wang Hu's outfits.

A five-step wide earthy yellow mountain path, on both sides of the two dark castles hidden in the green grass interlaced, Xiao Ye stepped forward to check it, and it was also amazing; In less than six days, Wang Dali not only led people to rest the road up the mountain, but also built a defensive fortress on the side of the road that could be reached by ox carts, which was really unexpected.

The ox cart walked on the hard path, although the speed was not fast, but it was already a great relief for Xiao Ye.

Yang Tianshou walked on the trail, stomping his feet very suspiciously about this kind of hard pavement, and Li Muchen, who was also full of suspicion, aroused great curiosity.

The zigzag four or five miles long mountain road, soon saw the wall on the top of the mountain, Xiao Ye and Wang Dali, who greeted him, bowed his hand and praised him vigorously.

Now in the stone mountain, with the powder that can be condensed, Wang Dali led the craftsmen, not only raised the wall, built the dark fort outside the exit of the wall, but even the road down the mountain was repaired and paved with yellow plaster.

Yellow plaster is the name of the craftsmen for the earthy yellow powder, and Xiao Ye also followed the trend.

When he arrived at the mountain, Xiao Ye knew why Wang Dali was racking his mind and kept busy with this and that, in order not to give everyone a place to distribute rations, and the large and small water storage tanks behind the land temple had also been put into use.

Now, the busy military families on the hill are building solid stone houses close to the wall, and the wooden sheds that were hastily erected earlier have been slowly dismantled and turned into simple furniture.

In the land temple, the fireworks are everywhere, and there are carpenters who actually make out rough incense sticks, and there is a large earthy yellow tripod outside the main hall, densely inserted incense.

The sergeants who were training under the big tree, when they saw the hundred households returning to the mountain, invariably stopped the spears in their hands, but no one dared to rush up; The two old military households standing on the side were staring at each other and scolding loudly.

The grain cart entered the warehouse, Li Muchen curiously followed the herb cart to a newly built stone house behind the land temple, although there was no iron gate at the entrance of the wall, but the sergeant guarding the guard obviously would not let him out at will.

At the gate of the small courtyard, Xiao Ye gave Wang Hu an order to disband, took Yang Tianshou and Mei'er, and walked to the family who had been waiting for a long time. Wang Dali, who is interested, said goodbye and went to be busy, reporting the things of the past few days, let's wait for the evening, he is also used to it.

"Sister Mei, you're here too, it's great," Ximen Hanjuan, who was full of joy, was very familiar with Yang Mei'er, and after smiling at her eldest brother, she pulled Yang Mei'er around.

Led his father-in-law into his own courtyard, Xiao Ye looked at the stone mill in front of him and was speechless, this stone mill that looked like it was already one person tall and three feet in diameter, and the thick grinding disc made him dare not recognize him.

In particular, the stone platform under the stone mill, where the box was opened, had become a bulky foundation stone three feet long and one foot high.

"Brother, Uncle Wang keeps loading stones into it every day, he said that he wants yellow plaster, which makes the yard full of fine ash all day long, and Uncle Kun can't clean it," Zuo Shi, who was chirping around him, complained very happily, but he didn't notice the huge changes in the stone mill.

"Eh, yes," looking at this extremely sturdy stone mill, Xiao Ye came back to his senses and smashed his mouth a few times in embarrassment, "Mr. is here, don't hurry up and salute,"

Ximen Zuoshi also went to private school for a few days, and after the head injury was healed, although he was indifferent to others, he could still remember the wooden ruler that Yang Tianshou had captured in his hand, and suddenly collapsed, bowed to Mr., shouted in a low voice, and ran out.

"Hehe, don't get in the way, a leather monkey," Xiao Ye hadn't apologized yet, but Yang Tianshou didn't care, looking at the stone mill in the yard, "This stone mill is too much of a space, I'm afraid it will have to be pulled by a cow,"

Where do the traces of cow's hooves come from on the gravel floor? That is, Xiucai can express such feelings, and the bankers have long been suspicious of occupying space.

Two wings, it is really not enough to accommodate six people, but fortunately, Wang Dali built the same small courtyard next door, which was originally built for his own family, and he contributed it without hesitation.

Before dinner, in front of the three big trees that were already two zhang high, Xiao Ye gathered everyone, took the roster, and began the first official assembly of sergeants in the Hundred Households.

"Fellow villagers, brothers, all the orders of thousands of households, Shiguantun will be built today, and in the future, Shiguanbao under the mountain can also be built," after a few short words, Xiao Ye, who was standing under the big tree, began the work in his hand, he took the roster and read his name, and the little six sons on the side distributed the long-awaited waist cards, mandarin duck battle jackets, red jackets and cloth shoes, and wide-brimmed felt hats.

Wang Dali, who got the paperwork and the iron waist card, held the cyan robe, and suddenly burst into tears. This is not up to the level of the official body, and only the common people look at it.

The official position that has not entered the stream, in the eyes of all craftsmen, is already very remarkable, and the monthly salary is three stones, where can the family eat it.

Coupled with Wang Hu and Wang Meng's small banner waist cards, the Wang family's monthly salary will have five stones, and the good days in the future will not be far away. For a time, the prestige of Wang Dali's family in Shiguantun rose to a height of envy.

And Xiao Ye is also happy to see the heat in the eyes of others, and his own sergeants in the future will be inseparable from the support of these people.

The small flags of other craftsmen who transferred to the military households, the waist cards of the sergeants, and the battle jackets, Xiao Ye personally issued them one by one, and the stone pass was not as good as other tuns, and there was no arable land available.

The five small banners of the hundred households are full of sergeants, the other five are the logistics small banners composed of craftsmen and old military households, and the people on the other mountains are also classified by Xiao Ye into the category of military miscellaneous soldiers; The remaining twenty or so elderly people were arranged to take turns guarding the water storage tank during the day.

Another major job of these old men was to carefully cut off the young branches and leaves of the vine grass that poked into their heads outside the wall, and collect them and give them to Uncle Kun.

By the way, a small piece of vegetable patch was also reclaimed by the old people who did not want to sit idle; Of course, it would be better if there was an extra flock of chickens and ducks.

The military and artisan families have a place to live, and the food is still sufficient, as long as the Tartars do not come to disturb them anymore, it is inevitable that the people's hearts will be stable.

A group of children younger than fourteen years old, fifty or sixty people, were thrown into the private school by Xiao Ye, believing in Yang Xiucai's prestige, and he would subdue these children who were scurrying around the mountains.

Li Langzhong's clinic opened on the same day, and he had to cheer up because of Xiao Ye's house arrest, and his only request was to provide 100 households with alcohol every month.

So, the moldy grain that made Wang Dali's heart ache, with the consent of the hundred households, was drummed out of the warehouse, picked and washed, and tried to start brewing.

A month later, Wang Dali quietly poured out several jars of sour wine, and the winemaking quietly ended in failure.

On the night of returning to the mountain, Xiao Ye, who slept in the wing, kept the sound of entering and exiting in the small courtyard in his ears, and the sound of stones being put into the grinding eyes; Wang Dali, who fell in love with the yellow plaster, poured stones into it with all his strength.

If it weren't for the fact that the stone mill didn't turn during the day, it would have been possible that this small courtyard had been turned into a workshop.

Zuo Shi, who was sleeping in another room, seemed to understand that there was no possibility of losing such a dead stone mill, so he focused on his little sister and no longer paid attention to the stone mill.

In the early hours of the morning, in order not to disturb the rest of the hundred households, Wang Dali led the craftsmen to fill the water tank in the courtyard of the hundred households, and then went to each house to rest, and it was the time to go to work after noon tomorrow.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Xiao Ye opened his eyes and got up, and put on his clothes in the dark; At the same time, Uncle Kun also got up from the kang in the opposite wing room, opened the door silently and went out.

With the yellow plaster, the ondols of each family were repaired when the houses were built, otherwise the winter here would not have been able to survive at all.

Xiao Ye also informed Zuo Shi and Uncle Kun of the two chief flag officers' clerical waist cards, but the two of them didn't care about it, so they still let him put it in the suitcase.

With the white sky overhead, he came to the stone mill, Xiao Ye pressed the grinding disc, and the stone mill rotated silently, and after six days of silence, the small pattern lit up again.

As usual, Uncle Kun quietly stood guard at the door of the fence.

The stones that Wang Dali put into the grinding eyes were very miscellaneous, mixed with some other minerals, impurities crystal stones and some associated copper, which were also poured into the stone mill by him in large heaps, which was nothing more than knocking the big stones into small pieces.

The shiny pattern slowly slid past Xiao Ye's eyes, and when a dressing mirror with copper-colored patterns inlaid around appeared in front of him, Xiao Ye couldn't help but sigh and pressed the button casually; Well, a surprise for Mei'er is considered a gift for her.

The sachet that has been hidden close to him was quietly given to him by Mei'er on the day of the marriage, and the stupid Xiao Ye actually took out a copper coin and gave it to her, so that she hung it around her neck.

The wide and empty box was quietly opened, and in Xiao Ye's hand was a mirror, a mirror as clean as water, and the light was dim, and Xiao Ye was also surprised to see that his appearance in the mirror was exquisite.

Just as he was about to turn around, Xiao Ye blinked suddenly, and found that the pattern next to the button was still shiny, so he couldn't help but crack his mouth and smile secretly, and took out a brand-new repeating crossbow again; It's just that there are not many short arrows, which makes him a lot of headaches.

In the evening, Wang Dali came to report that the production of short arrows was not only labor-intensive and costly, but also the iron and charcoal on the mountain were also in short supply, and it was very difficult to replenish them. The little iron material that was brought with them was not enough to make hammers and drills.

It is not easy for the blacksmith shop to be opened.
