Chapter 89: Tiger Head Fort

In order to allow those refugees to leave as soon as possible, the county borrowed dozens of taels of carts and horses from various wealthy shops, and arranged for many officials to help. The sun has just come out, and the large shack by the moat in Nancheng has all been demolished, although Liu Jun has already given everyone an family silver, but everyone is reluctant to have any useful things.

A clay bowl, a wooden basin, and even a piece of broken felt were all packed and taken away.

The elderly, children, and women with small feet made them in the car, while the men carried all kinds of rags and household items brought out of the shacks. The older children also followed their parents with a belongings or two.

Thousands of people moved, and the scene was very lively. Outside the south gate, many people in the county also came to watch. They watched the departure of their neighbors, who they had seen often but were strangers. Some people's eyes showed joy that these poor men were finally gone. Some people are envious, although they are natives of their hometown, and even some people still live in the county town, but in fact, their lives are not better than these outsiders.

It may have been better, but now, these strangers are about to live a good life, and they can only go from tomorrow to tomorrow.

The county seat to Hutouguan, seventy miles apart, fortunately it is Guanghuang Avenue, which is a large commercial road connecting Guangzhou, Henan and Huguang Huangzhou, which is very flat.

The team marched all the way, taking a break every five miles, a break for ten miles, and stopping for a meal at the halfway point of the forty-mile journey.

By the time the team arrived at the Hutou Pass Inspection Yamen, the sun was already about to disappear into the mountains.

The Yamen of the Inspection Department is not small, there are about dozens of acres of land in it, and there are many houses, but it will definitely not be able to accommodate these thousands of people.

Fortunately, because the inspection department is stuck in the place where the road must pass, so over the years, a lot of tea shops, inns, restaurants, warehouses and other dozens of houses of all sizes have been built near the Yamen official hall, which are next to the official hall and built along both sides of the road, so that the Hutouguan Inspection Division also has a street of about 100 meters.

The time was not early, and it was too late to build a shed, so Liu Jun placed these people in each house and rented them. Most of those shops are front shops and back shops, or back houses, everyone squeezes in, but they can barely live, anyway, it is still summer at this time, there is a tile to block the wind.

"Starting tomorrow, let's build some simple sheds to give everyone a place to stay, and then cut down trees to build houses." Liu Jun arranged.

Although everyone was very tired after a day of walking, and on the first day of Hutou Pass, there was not even a shed, but everyone was still very happy.

After dark, piles of bonfires were lit in the open space of the large playground outside the official hall of the Hutouguan Yamen, and Liu Jun asked the Hydra team members who moved first to take out the prepared wine and meat, and began to cook the meat, and everyone celebrated this new beginning together.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Hutou Pass was already lively. More than a thousand people have been added at once, and the town has never been more lively. There are many smart merchants who have come like cats smelling fishy.

They came in horse-drawn carts, in wheelbarrows, pushing all kinds of goods, and some people bought and sold, not to mention more than a thousand people who had just moved in, and everyone knew that these people had just received a sum of money in their hands. If you want to settle a new home, you must buy a lot of new household belongings, pots and pans, clothes, bedding, mats, etc.

Even Liu Jun's father-in-law, Lu Weizhang, rushed over in person, with a large convoy of dozens of people, pulling more than a dozen truckloads of goods.

"Tell me what you need." Lu Weizhang jumped out of the carriage, pointed to the goods behind, and said very angrily.

Liu Jun said gratefully, "In the future, I will be stationed here, hundreds of brothers, and more than a thousand people, I really need a lot of things, first of all, I need a house." With so many people, it's impossible to sit in the open all the time. ”

Lu Weizhang patted his chest, "It's easy to build a house, invite some craftsmen, and then as long as the materials are sufficient, you have so many people here, half a month is enough." Leave these to me, you can take your soldiers with you, and I'll help you take care of the rest. ”

The daughter and Liu Jun have been officially engaged, and they will get married soon, so Lu Weizhang's attitude towards Liu Jun has also changed greatly, and he completely regards him as his own family. The son-in-law wants to be an official here, and of course he must give his full support.

With a shrewd businessman like Lu Weizhang in charge, Liu Jun was happy to hand over the logistics to him. In addition to the 309-headed bird team members, Liu Jun transferred out the workers recruited from the 200 displaced people, and the rest of the men, women, and children of thousands were all handed over to Lu Weizhang to command.

Lu Weizhang became Liu Jun's logistics manager, and the first task that Liu Jun handed over to his father-in-law was to build a toilet first, and there was more than one, and more than a dozen toilets should be built inside and outside the yamen of the inspection department, especially a few large toilets with dozens of squatting pits.

"What are you doing with so many thatched huts? Don't you have to build a house first? Lu Weizhang was a little puzzled.

"It is very important to ensure cleanliness, and it was written in the military book of Li Jing, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, that the first thing the army did when they set up a village was to dig a toilet, which shows the importance of this small thatched house. We now have more than 2,000 civilians, civilians, and traders here, so many people are here, but there are few thatched pits, and everyone defecates and defecates everywhere, not to mention inconvenient, and it is not clean. Not to mention the stinking smell, it is very likely to cause some epidemics. ”

Liu Jun not only wanted to build toilets, but also bathrooms.

However, there were only three bathrooms, one was in the inspection yacheng, and one was a large public bathroom, which was specially used by soldiers for soldiers. The other two bathrooms are at the north and south ends of the street outside, one for men and one for women, both of which are large bathrooms that can accommodate dozens of people.

"It's very important to keep your body clean to prevent disease." Liu Jun's reasons are very valid and important.

Lu Weizhang did not object, but Liu Jun participated in the construction and design of the bathroom, "You can't just build this kind of big bath, you have to build a shower room." Liu Jun carefully explained to Lu Weizhang and the craftsmen he invited that it was not difficult to add a bath, but how to get water.

But this is not a matter in Liu Jun's eyes, just build a few water towers, draw water from the well, and then use a pulley to carry it to the high water tower, and then connect a bamboo pipe from the water tower to the bathroom, because of the height difference between the water tower and the bathroom, the bathroom has tap water.

Although you still have to fetch water to the water tower first, there is no shortage of people here.

Toilets, bathrooms were the first to be built, then canteens, and finally housing.

Considering the location of Hutou Pass, Liu Jun personally designed the residence.

The house he designed is actually equivalent to the Hakka tulou, the house was built in the shape of a circular fortress, with a four-story design, civil engineering to be manufactured, fifty-three rooms on the ground floor, fifty-six rooms on each floor above the second floor, the kitchen on the ground floor, the granary on the second floor, and the bedroom on the third and fourth floors. There are 72 staircases connecting the whole building, the second floor of the ground floor is not windowed, there is a patio inside, and the inner and outer ring passages.

This is completely a fortress, which can also be called a round village.

One building is a fortress, and each floor can accommodate more than 50 households. Liu Jun plans to build nine buildings, after the building is completed, then these nine forts will surround the Hutouguan Yamen, here is a castle group, even if there are thieves besieging it, it is not easy to capture.

The tulou is not a rare thing, the craftsman recognized it at a glance, and he can also build this kind of building, but it is just a rammed earth wall, which takes more man-hours. And this building has four floors, and there are more than 50 rooms on the first floor, which is very huge.

"It's much more expensive than building a wooden house or a mud house."

"Can you make it?"

"Yes." The master is very sure.

"If you can make it, you will build it in this way." Liu Jun didn't have money to burn, but considered many aspects. In the next few years, Huguang will be a place of chaos, all parties will fight back and forth, and you will build a wooden building, which is not enough for others to burn. Since we want to build it, let's make a stronger one while there is still time.

It's definitely worth the extra money now.

This kind of building is actually not difficult, the key is to spend manpower, rammed earth walls have to fill in a lot of soil, and it has to be tamped. However, manpower is the least valuable, and Liu Jun feels that there is no problem.

After these things were confirmed, Liu Jun threw the logistics to Lu Weizhang and didn't care about it.

Liu Jun began to shut up the inspection department and no longer care about the hustle and bustle outside, he now has to start training his team.

The above reply has arrived, and Liu Jun was officially appointed as the head of the regiment training in Macheng County, from the eighth grade.

In just a few days, Liu Jungang was officially appointed as the inspector of the ninth grade, and was immediately promoted to the general manager of the eighth grade. However, according to the agreement between Liu Jun and Lu Jinxi, after Liu Jun was promoted to the general manager of the county regiment, he still served as the patrol inspector of Hutou Pass and governed the Taiping Station. In a word, the territory of Taiping Township was basically handed over to Liu Jun.

The banner of the regimental training of Macheng County, Huangzhou, Huguang has been made, and it is fluttering high in the yacheng that covers an area of dozens of acres.

The members of the Nine-headed Bird team have also become the practice of the county regiment. However, Liu Jun still retains the flag of the nine-headed bird, and the nine-headed bird has now become the symbol of Macheng's group training. Macheng group practice, also called the nine-headed bird group.

On the martial arts arena in Yacheng.

Of the more than 500 Ma Su, the one who stood most in the middle and stood the straightest was the former veteran.

On the left are the one hundred and two new members recruited by Taiping Township, although they have not joined for a long time, they have already proved themselves with spears outside the Hutou Pass, with fifty thief heads. Standing there at this time, although in the eyes of the old players, they are still just a group of new players, but in their own hearts, they are already old players, and they look at the more than 100 new team members on the right with the eyes of the nine-headed bird veterans.

The more than 100 new members of the homeless team recruited from Macheng County, wearing the brand-new uniforms that had just been issued, were still a little difficult to calm down, and they couldn't help but look around.

Behind these three teams, there is also a team of 200 people, also from the shack area of the county seat, who were recruited by Liu Jun as workers, and are now standing here as part of the regimental training. However, they are not yet the official members of the Hydra, they can only be regarded as reserve members, and they usually practice, but after the workshop is built, they will be workers, and occasionally practice every five or ten, and they can only be regarded as reserve members.

Standing on the stage, Liu Jun swept over the more than 500 faces, most of which were unfamiliar.

He looked to the side, but he looked empty, and then remembered that Li Chunjiang had already left Huguang for Nanjing.

From then on, the nine-headed bird was led by him alone!

This is his new team!
