Yizhou's Duan commander sent a batch of iron over, those military households saw the life of the former Luoshan military households now in Maojiatun, extremely envious, many people on the way back to turn back, stayed in Maojiatun, many of the temporarily unable to stay is also back to Yizhou to prepare, another to find a family to flee over, Duan Commander came a few letters, is very put down the figure of the central begged Yang Bo, no way, the commander to use silver too many places, Maojiatun is his big customer is not good too offended, I had to think of a way to send my own family to escort him. Yang Bo's demand for the population has always been the more the better, but the article on the surface still has to be done, and he replied with some kind words at the moment, and said that as long as the military households from Yizhou are caught in the future, they will be escorted back to their hometown Yunyun.

After writing the letter, those family members and Xiao Yulan also settled the iron money and got some rewards, so they happily said goodbye to Yang Bo, Yang Bo did not leave them, and waved goodbye.

After a while, the shopkeeper of the Hutchison garment shop in the fort asked to see him, and when Yang Bo heard it, he knew that Chen Bilian had sent someone to deliver the letter, so he hurriedly ordered him to come in.

With the advent of the winter leisure season, Maojiatun began to build a large number of buildings, the construction of Tunpu, this planned Tunpu east of the sea and salt pond, north to Dafu Mountain, south and Zhaojiatun village border, including most of Santun, before Yang Bo prepared some stones, and so on when the start of construction was only two days is not enough, he can only remobilize Santun in addition to the salt team other than the residents, regardless of men, women and children together to help, even the families of those artisan battalions have been summoned, finally barely kept up with the progress, a large number of dustpans, Men and women in baskets ran back and forth along the walls of the fort, some craftsmen were directing the men of Jingbian Fort to polish the stones, and some craftsmen were directing the men to ram the fort wall. The scene is in full swing, and at present, this small city has been built half a person high.

In Yang Bo's planning, the circumference of this new city is nearly two miles, the stone wall is about eight meters high, and the main function is a semi-military base, or to prevent limited bandit robbery, so it is not built in accordance with strict standards.

The first to move into is the artisan camp, which is an inner city of reading, there is only one city gate exit, in addition to the barricades, there is a team of six sergeants guarded, the artisan needs to enter and exit by identity, idle people are not allowed to snoop here, violators are severely punished.

Close to the inner city is the family area of the artisan household camp, Yang Bo adopts the design of a single-door detached family in later generations, and each family member is a small courtyard house with three rooms and a courtyard, which is enough for a family of five. At present, it is still a weedy field, and the stones are used as a foundation.

The center of the city is the residential area of the officers, including Yang Bo's official office is also here, the barracks of the three battalions are planned on the other side, and a large area is deliberately vacated for the school field, what theaters, temples, churches, and health centers are still lying on the planning drawings nearby, and I don't know when it will be built.

There are two wide streets in the east-west and north-south directions, and there are some shops nearby, Chen Bilian also opened branches here in several dens of selling stolen goods in Anton Wei, and the old lady Yao also came to ask a few times after hearing the news, Yang Bo was very resolute to break his thoughts, he even shared some private salt, and gave the shopkeeper of the Hutchison clothing store another contact buyer to do, and he was also ready to cultivate some of his own business talents. Some clever family members in Maojiatun also began to raise some chickens and pigs at home, but the scale was not large.

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper of the Hutchison ready-to-wear shop walked in, this person is about fifty, skinny, three beards, and even more like a thief, since Chen Bilian instructed him to open a branch shop in Maojiatun, he received some orders for cotton, saltpeter, clothing, and common utensils, and as soon as he received the letter, he sent it for Yang Bo.

"In a few days, I will send a batch of glutinous rice, the price will be lower than the market price, and I will exchange it with salt" Yang Bo took the letter and said casually to the golden shopkeeper

"Okay"

The golden shopkeeper smiled happily, seeing that the city was in full swing here, and a large amount of glutinous rice juice was needed to prepare Sanhe soil. Maojiatun has good snowflake salt, which is transported by ship to the area of Beizhili, and the price will increase several times.

Seeing Yang Bo waving his hand, the golden shopkeeper followed the military household and retreated.

Chen Bilian's letter first roughly talked about the situation over there, because her father's leg was useless in the last battle, and the appeal was not as good as before, if it weren't for the last time she went back, the Black Pearl was very powerful, it would be difficult to deter the group of exotic pirates, and now she is leading the pirates to find a decisive battle for the pirates on Pingshan Island, hoping to clear the sea channel as soon as possible. Yang Bo supported her ten gunners and instructor Fernandez last time, and they are now stepping up their training of artillery crews, Chen Bilian complained about the problem that the explosion time of the flowering shell fuse is not easy to control, and a mortar exploded early, and a gunner was turned into pockmarks by the flames, and complained that Fernandez ate too much and didn't work much, and a lot of balabala was full of trivial things, and he looked like a little woman.

At the end of the letter, there was a sentence: "I really want to go back to Maojiatun, I don't want to live ......"

After reading it, Yang Bo laughed, and secretly said in his heart, if you don't die now, I will die after a while. Yang Bo is a rough embryo, and when he does that, he likes to say that he will kill you or something, and the fun in it is not enough for outsiders.

After reading the letter, Yang Bo was in a good mood, so he walked slowly towards the craftsman camp, he was still thinking about the bird gun, after the mortar was driven out, now the artisan camp is building bird guns, Yang Bo should be equipped with at least two platoons before the Wenxiang Sect started.

"Now there are 40 craftsmen drilling pipes, each of which can produce more than 30 pipes, and nearly 45 have been rushed out since the end of September, and there is still a gap between the requirements of adults" Chen Jianghu knew what he wanted to ask as soon as he saw Yang Bo, so he hurriedly reported first.

"Do you have any technology for drill pipes, so why don't you let those helpers do it?" Yang Bo asked

"Adults don't know, this drill pipe is the most prone to heat, if it is a bad one, scrap a pipe, besides, with those people to drill crookedly, not to mention, the drill bit of the light drilling will be scrapped more than double, if people rush the schedule, they can only increase the number of craftsmen." Chen Craftsman also has no way

"In this way, I have to help you design some crank drills and fixtures, you first pick some helpers to come here to learn, you can't always be a craftsman to drill and pipe for a month" Yang Bo knows that in this era, drill bits, frustration knives and other tools made of hard steel are made of fallen steel, and the steel surname is not very hard, so half of the time to make bird guns is in drilling and scraping guns, and the time is as long as a month.

Yang Bo didn't know much about steelmaking, but he could design a simple drilling machine, use good wooden beams as a frame, make the customary wheel with pig iron, tie the belt and turn it by man, which would simplify some time and free a large number of skilled workers from this long labor.

The atmosphere on the ground of Anton Wei began to become tense, and various gossip spread around......

Yang Bo felt that he still underestimated the destruction of the peasant uprising, and after the attack on the big family surnamed Hu near Jingbiantun, these people set fire to Hujia Village, and more than a dozen big houses of the Hu family were burned to the ground, and none of the dozens of families escaped. And that's not all, as the entire vicinity of the stone mortar was constantly receiving news of small groups of incense-smelling cultists attacking large households, and these people had already begun to openly burn and plunder.

Maojiatun salt protection team is notorious, and now there is no such fragrance sect that dares to make up minds, but it is almost over, Maojiatun's wealth is also famous, how can those people give up this piece of fat?
