That's what bandits call it!

Look at what this bandit did, it used to be a shame!

More than 150 carts slowly walked in the dark tunnels, each with two or three people on board, one person driving the car, and the others lying or sitting on the cart.

In the tunnel, there are oil lamps every twenty meters.

Although this light is not bright, it will not make the whole tunnel dark.

This tunnel is the only trunk tunnel that has been opened at present, and the farthest point has reached more than 40 miles from Ranzhuang.

On this main road, there are four branch roads more than ten miles long, all of which can be used by horse-drawn carriages.

On these main road branches, there are a total of nine main entrances where horse-drawn carriages can enter, and each of them is in a large forest.

Under each entrance, there are special people guarding them, and there are telephones directly to the headquarters of Ranzhuang.

The "bandits" are comfortable, so comfortable, comfortable many times, their eyes are clearly open, but they feel like they are in a dream.

They are comfortable, not only because their lives are stable and comfortable, but more importantly, because they can live like normal people.

Most of their families moved to nearby villages and towns, so that they could have enough food and clothing, and were no longer oppressed by any landlords, old money, and the government.

Moreover, they themselves can start a family and have children.

There are two duty rooms under the tunnel, both of which are covered with big kangs, and Zhang Yueming and eight big men lie on the kang, closing their eyes and resting.

At dawn, Zhang Yueming was woken up by the person on duty. When he woke up, he asked, "Is there any movement?" ”

The man: "No. ”

Zhang Yueming led people out of the tunnel and began to clean up the traces left behind.

After cleaning, the traces do not disappear immediately, but they do not last long, and after a few rains, they disappear completely.

At nine o'clock in the morning, eight more people came back, and they were in charge of monitoring to see if anyone was following.

Zhang Yueming just left, but the eight people who were in charge of monitoring just now did not leave, and they wanted to continue to monitor, at least for a week.

Of course, even if these people are gone, the two people on duty will continue to monitor, and they have the means and ability to eliminate snoopers.

As for what to do, there are strict and clear rules in these aspects.

Halfway back to the road, the lights suddenly turned on.

Tunnels are being dug here.

At the beginning, it was to dig the tunnels under Ranzhuang with all his strength and build an impregnable fortress base. After this task was completed, it was necessary to dig this main road to the south, away from Baoding, to a more remote place.

So far, this main road is only beginning to take shape, and it will take a lot of effort to improve it thoroughly.

Perfection is to let the main road have more tentacles, expand and cover farther areas.

The only difficulty in improving the main road is to transport the soil out, but fortunately, there are more manpower and livestock, and all the soil can be transported to Ranzhuang for burning bricks.

In addition to the 87 families in the three small villages near Ranzhuang, which were completely integrated into the system, the newly increased manpower in Ranzhuang was mainly from those bandits who had "turned into regulars".

Up to now, 267 bandits have been "regularized" and have become members of the system. In addition to these people, there are also the family members of the bandits who have been taken over.

Taken together, there are already more than 2,400 people living in Ranzhuang and its three nearby villages.

These people were fully mobilized, and they worked day and night.

The people who carried the soil were mules, horses, and livestock.

The main road is two meters wide and one meter seven high, and the large livestock that come in to carry the soil are on the left, and the large livestock with sacks full of soil on the camels are on the right side and go back.

Due to the good scheduling, the livestock hardly stopped, the only difference was that there were more sacks of soil on their backs. So, although it seems to be slow, the amount of earthwork that is shipped out is actually not a lot.

The tunnel is excavated for one meter, and the amount of earthwork is 3.7 cubic meters. The soil will be looser when dug out, with an average of four cubic meters.

It takes an average of two and a half large livestock to transport one cubic meter of soil. It takes an average of ten large livestock to transport one meter of earthwork out of a tunnel.

There is enough manpower and there is no shortage of livestock.

Now there are 900 large livestock, and in addition to the looted, some of them are bought.

The 900 animals were divided into three shifts, each with 200 animals, and the remaining 300 heads as substitutes or for other purposes.

In this way, 200 large animals are transported out of the country at all times. On average, more than 150 meters of tunnels can be dug every day, and one mile can be dug in three days.

The livestock all wear blindfolds, and they are very obedient, and one person can manage seven or eight heads.

The carriage is less than one meter three wide, and a plug is added to the livestock, so that nothing can be taken away.

When Zhang Yueming arrived home, Ranzhuang was still lively.

This time, more than 300 pigs were killed in Chenjiaji, and now it is hot, and I can't stay, so I have to divide them all when I go home.

Although it has been a few days now, the oil and water are still insufficient, and the average person eats a pound of meat at a time, which is a piece of cake, not a problem.

Therefore, the fat is bigger than the silver, and the people in the village are more happy.

Seeing the smiling faces on everyone's faces, Zhang Yueming felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness that he had never felt before.

The hot water in the bathhouse has long been boiling, waiting for the hero to return victoriously.

Zhang Yueming took a hot bath, and his whole body was so comfortable, when he returned home, Li Qiaozhen was not there, and he couldn't help but scold happily in his heart: This old lady is getting more and more out of place.

In a word, since she arrived in Ranzhuang, Li Qiaozhen seems to have changed as a person, her revolutionary enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and she has become one of the main leaders of the women's world, and she is very busy every day, busier than him.

Zhang Yueming was happy to see such a daughter-in-law.
