Chapter 54: Crouching Tiger Village

Gao Huaiyuan sorted out his thoughts, although he was not very familiar with this history, but he knew some of it, if this situation continued, the fate of the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia would naturally not be able to escape the way to destruction, how much time would history leave him?

A sense of urgency arose, and Gao Huaiyuan felt that it seemed that it was time to speed up a little progress now! So after thinking about it for a while, considering that the things on the side of the old mansion have basically been sorted out, he asked Xue Yan to stay in the old mansion, take care of the affairs of the old mansion, take Liu'er with him, rush back to the villa together, and start to work on the things over there!

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively short, with the warm wind blowing, just after the Spring Festival, here is full of spring, the mountains are full of birds and flowers, walking on the road to the villa, the eyes are full of quiet mountains and forests, the dense bamboo forest is verdant, straight, the surrounding quiet can only hear the birdsong of the empty valley, the mood of dormant winter suddenly has a trace of sprout, the spring flowers all over the mountains, like the tender yellow carpet all the way out, the mood is active with the yellow again.

This kind of scenery makes Gao Huaiyuan feel a lot better, since he has come to this era, it is useless to be blindly nervous, as long as he does what he should do, there is nothing to regret later, although the Great Song Dynasty may eventually be destroyed under the iron hooves of Mongolia, but after all, there is still some time, if he has been immersed in this kind of worry, he will no longer be able to enjoy this life, isn't it equivalent to a trip in vain?

After thinking about this, Gao Huaiyuan let go of the uneasiness in his heart, and sang casually and proudly: "The sea laughs, the tide on both sides of the strait, the ups and downs with the waves, only remember the ...... of the present day"

Liu Er listened to Gao Huaiyuan's song for the first time, so she stretched out her head out of the carriage and listened carefully, Gao Huaiyuan habitually sang this song in Cantonese, she didn't really hear the lyrics, but she liked this tune very much, it was fresh and good, so she gently hummed with Gao Huaiyuan.

The villa is still lively, at the foot of the mountain, in the shade of green trees, it is really a wonderful place, to have such a good place to settle here, Gao Huaiyuan is really grateful to that Gao Laogen, if it weren't for this guy, how could he have such a clean place to stand? Pity this Gao Laogen, I don't know where I went or what kind of life I was living at this time, but Gao Huaiyuan won't miss him at this time.

Since Gao Huaiyuan went to live in the villa, the speed of the project here has also accelerated a little, and Gao Huaiyuan has relatively abundant financial support, Zhuangzi, which was originally expected to be completed in three months, was basically completed in two months.

Standing in the newly built house, smelling the smell of lime smeared on the wall, all the young men were happy, although this time was hard, but watching the houses with their help, finally completed, everyone had a strong sense of belonging here, and this will be their orphans' home from now on!

Gao Huaiyuan is generally satisfied with the quality of the work of these houses, but he just thinks that the walls made of mortar are not as strong as cement, but where is there such a thing as cement in this era! He can only be settled! But in my heart, I think about the next step, if I see a big project somewhere, I will also burn some cement? Anyway, the high-tech content of this thing is not too high, and the raw materials are even more readily available.

After settling the wages of these craftsmen and tenants, these people quickly tidied up the yard, and then thanked Gao Huaiyuan for the generous reward with joy, and left the villa, which was immediately clean.

Looking at the tall wall, Gao Huaiyuan and the people here feel very fond, if you want to see the situation inside from the outside, it is basically impossible now, Huang Yan looked at the empty lintel, and suddenly said to Gao Huaiyuan: "I said boss! We're a mountain village here, right? I always feel that I don't have a name that is not majestic enough, so I can't just call it Gaojiazhuang, that's too vulgar! Otherwise, you can give us a majestic name! How about everyone remember our name in the future? ”

Even Zhou Hao, who doesn't like to talk on weekdays, nodded again and again: "That's it!" Big brother, you might as well give us a resounding name here! ”

Gao Huaiyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with them saying this, if they wanted to make the people here really have a sense of belonging in the future, it would be good to take a resounding name, so he thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Since you said so, then let's call it Crouching Tiger Villa in the future!" ”

After everyone heard this, there was a cheer immediately, Gao Huaiyuan also specially brought a firecracker, hung it on the door and lit it, crackling for a while, and after asking for a lottery, everyone poured into the villa.

Although the house was still a little damp, the teenagers didn't care about it, and immediately moved to the new house in the back and cleaned it up.

Gao Huaiyuan watched them tidy up the room, nodded with satisfaction, this is a bit of a barracks, it seems that during this time, the newcomers who came here over the years have also adapted to the life here, and the consciousness of obedience has long been ingrained, although they are still teenagers, but Gao Huaiyuan believes that as long as time passes, he will be able to train these guys into a group of soldiers who can fight well.

In the following days, life here in the villa returned to its previous appearance again, and when he heard the rooster crow early in the morning, he immediately got up and lined up to carry out the necessary physical strengthening training every day, and at the same time let these teenagers receive some simple and practical training in fists, feet and weapons, in the past, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao were responsible for teaching them knives and guns, and now Gao Huaiyuan replaced the two of them after he came, and he was personally responsible for this matter.

These teenagers really know how powerful Gao Huaiyuan is, they go out to exercise the same every day, they are each dressed lightly, running with Gao Huaiyuan, and after running down a lap, they all have a feeling of being angry, but look at Gao Huaiyuan every day to wear a suit full of iron sand, running the same as them, even Huang Yan and Zhou Hao have to put on sandbags and go out to exercise together, these teenagers have nothing to say at all!

In the past, they sometimes had a lot of complaints in their hearts about this kind of running, but Gao Huaiyuan told them that they can't underestimate this running, which is a very workout thing, often when you feel that you have no strength, but you still have to persevere, it is a good tempering for perseverance, and it can also greatly strengthen their physique, so after getting used to it, these people will feel awkward if they don't run for a day, so that their bodies are also much stronger.

After the drill training, it was breakfast, and after eating, everyone was busy in the backyard workshop under the command of Gao Huaiyuan, packing up all kinds of things, and preparing for the production of the soap workshop.

In addition, Gao Huaiyuan continued to insist on making these teenagers literate, and continued to be taught by Zhou Junlai, and he also personally served as a math teacher, teaching these teenagers Arabic numerals and commonly used numerals, with his ability, teaching this thing is a matter of hand, anyway, there is no need to teach the profound, just know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and after these teenagers mature in the future, even if they are not suitable for being a soldier, they can also handle some accounts and other things for him.

The bows and arrows that Xing Zhutou sent to them before, after these teenagers received strict training, finally began to play a role, under normal circumstances, the bows of the Song Dynasty were divided into three grades, generally the strongest is the nine-bucket yellow birch bow, the weaker one has eight buckets, and the most important is the seven-bucket hemp back bow, as for the two-stone strong bow used by Gao Huaiyuan, it is definitely a non-standard weapon, it belongs to a super perverted kind of guy, and it can't be regarded as a normal range! You must know that even the strongest god arm crossbow equipped in the army of the Song Dynasty is only two stones and one bucket, which is relied on by the foot pedal, and it can be pulled away with the strength of the whole body, and Gao Huaiyuan is now playing with two stone hard bows, naturally it can't be measured by common sense!

It was this kind of seven-bucket hemp back bow that Xing Zhutou sent to them, which just made up for the shortcomings of these teenagers' lack of strength, so that they could practice archery.

For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan set aside a special space behind the villa and set up arrow targets and other objects for these teenagers to practice archery, and Gao Huaiyuan was also the best of the three of Huang Yan and Zhou Hao, so it was up to him to guide him personally.

The teenagers only have the opportunity to train in archery in the backyard only if they can pull out the seven bucket bows, so it has also become a symbol of honor among them, who said that the archers are the weak in the army, Gao Huaiyuan does not believe in this evil, it is to elevate the status of the archers, by him, the archers are the strong ones who dominate the battlefield, and only the fools act as cannon fodder in front! So it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of these guys to practice shooting.

During this period, Gao Huaiyuan also continued to leave the villa, to Daye County or the surrounding Yangxin County to run a bit, separately from all over the purchase of raw materials, but a little depressed in the matter of buying salt, since ancient times all dynasties are only allowed to operate salt, but in the Southern Song Dynasty this era, the quality of official salt is high, if you buy it back, you have to boil it once, re-purify, waste a lot of time and energy, fortunately, Xue Yan has mixed on the road before, and knows that there is a place to buy good quality private salt, So Gao Huaiyuan immediately asked Xue Yan to go and buy a batch of private salt, which was transferred to Crouching Tiger Village in batches for storage, and the rest was to purchase herb alkali or soil alkali, and also contacted many butchers to send a fat to Crouching Tiger Village regularly.

After tossing for a while, everything was arranged, and it was only time to start work on a certain day!
