Chapter 49: Strengthening People's Livelihood and Stabilizing the Political Situation

The sparse and simple fence of the former village has now been replaced by a wooden wall formed by a side-by-side wooden pile that is tightly connected, and the wooden wall faces the interior with two towering arrow towers, mainly for enemy observation. The defensive walls were not as combat-effective as the wooden walls that the bandits used to have battlements and allow fighters to stand guard and defend on top of the walls, but they were much better. Although further improvements are needed, Wittur is already very gratified.

Many of the ruins of the former village have been cleared, new houses have been rebuilt, and barracks have been set up for the guards to live and a training ground for the guards. Witt circled twice, but there was no sight of the range. I was right, the cottage had few bows and arrows before the cave people came, and it was not uncommon for it to lack a shooting range.

The chain bridge leading to the main village has not changed much, and it still straddles between the steep twin peaks like a brave warrior. The appearance of the main village remains the same, but the layout of the village in the cave has changed. The rock wall and the roof of the cave are fixed and blocked by smooth wooden boards, which makes the damp atmosphere in the cave significantly weakened, and it will not be said that the water in the cave will drip when it rains, which makes the cave have more cottage atmosphere. In addition to the stone walls decorated with wooden panels, the space inside the cave is also divided into rooms of different sizes. The large rooms were originally planned to be used as warehouses, while the smaller rooms were mainly used as bedrooms and various other purposes. Don't look at the space in the cave seems to be small, hundreds of square meters of places are separated by hundreds of large and small rooms, during which the use of manpower and material resources can be imagined.

During Wit's inspection of the main village, he happened to meet Jena who was busy with the sundries in the main village, and after inquiry, he learned that during his absence, the big and small matters in the main village, including cooking, warehouse management, and the layout of the cottage sundries, were all completed by Jena as a servant arranged for the refugees. I have to say that women are careful and do a good job in detail management.

Witt's conversation with Jena happened to be overheard by Bandney, who came to report to work, and Bandney immediately interjected with a smile: "Owner, Edward's contribution to the cottage has also been quite large. Some time ago, the new refugees were entrained with fever patients, and the facilities in the village were not perfect at that time, the environment was bad, and the fever once caused riots in the village. Willy nodded, not commenting much, but in his heart he made a note of Edward's contribution to the stockade.

"By the way, how are the new villagers resettled?" Witt asked.

"The owner of the village, I have already settled them, and the matter of clearing the wasteland has been arranged for them, but they don't seem to be very integrated into the collective of the villagers, and they maintain a certain degree of armed independence, which may bring some trouble to the task arrangement." Bandney will report back to Witt live.

"It's okay, they'll get used to it slowly, and they'll be instructed by you. They're used to bandits, and only you can control them, and you can report anything directly to me. As for the well-trained cottage guards, they can be divided into three squads, with Rum, Safin, and Star in charge. As for the usual training, with the three of them to help you, I believe you can handle it. Witt tried to further consolidate his power.

"Everything is arranged by the owner of the village!" Banderny could still guess Witt's intentions more or less, but he had been in the army under the banner of Warissienboye for many years, and he had no ambitions of his own, so he didn't worry too much.

"In addition, most of the guards in your charge have been taught bow and arrow skills by me before, so they have a certain foundation in bow learning. I just inspected the cottage, there is no special shooting range in the cottage, after going down, I told the villagers to build a shooting range, when you train them, remember to urge them to practice archery skills diligently, practice makes perfect. Witt continued.

"My subordinates understand! After going down, I immediately asked people to handle the matter of the shooting range. Banderi replied in a fixed voice, exuding a soldier's temperament all over his body.

"Are there any special circumstances in the stockade during my absence?" Witt asked.

Banderi frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied: "During the more than one month that you have been absent, the owner of the village, refugees have come to the cottage every day. As of today, including the more than 50 people you brought in, the number of people in the whole cottage is as high as 300. The food pressure of these 300 people is like a mountain, and we are increasingly overwhelmed, if we rely on the beasts in the forest for food, I believe that in less than half a year, the beasts in the forest will die out, and then we will also collapse and fall apart, just in a thought. ”

Witt nodded in agreement, and was speechless. Because Witt had anticipated the outcome of the day, because hunting alone would never solve the root of the problem, but Witt did not want to be as unscrupulous as other robbers to attack passers-by. Witt believes that old Danny will certainly not agree with the bandits. That's why Witt ordered all the capable villagers to go to the wasteland and contribute to the sustainable development of the cottage in the future. But I'm afraid I won't survive until then, and it seems that I really need to get some resources from some passing caravans.

Seeing that Witt was silent, Bandeni just nodded and motioned for himself to continue, and then added: "Secondly, the number of cottagers is increasing day by day, and there are some villains among them, disrupting the order of the cottage, which not only causes great trouble to the cottage people, but also makes it difficult for us to carry out the governance process of the cottage, so I hope that the owner of the cottage will approve the construction of a small prison in the cottage to detain those villains." ”

Wei Ting nodded in agreement, and immediately said: "You are right, any reactionary element who destroys the harmony of the cottage, no matter what the reason, should be detained and severely punished!" I approve the prison matter, so I'll leave it to you! ”

After a moment, Witt added, "Banderni, is there anything else you would like to add?" ”

Banderi thought for a moment, then simply replied, saying that there were no other questions for the time being. Witt then said: "Since you have nothing to say, then I will give you two more tasks." When Bandni heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened.

"First, in response to the problem of food and clothing for the villagers you just mentioned, I approve you to obtain the required resources from the passing caravans, but the premise is to find out the situation of the other party, and you must not take risks when you are unsure, and the training of the guards must be intensified, and do not joke with the lives of the guards!" Witt clearly remembers the terrible price paid by the cave people when they ambushed the pseudo-caravan, and is determined to prevent such a situation from happening again.

"Second, the defensive walls of the cottage need to be further strengthened, and the reinforcement needs to be reinforced with a mixture of wooden piles, stones and clay, especially on the exterior of the defensive walls, with as little wood as possible. At the top of the defensive wall, there should be battlements and guards to stand guard, and on the perimeter of the defensive wall and on the rock wall outside the main cave, there should be a protruding horizontal arrow tower, each arrow tower should be wide enough to accommodate more than five people, which is conducive to defense in case of emergency. I'll make a rough drawing later for your reference. "When Witt and Cass broke through the Twin Peaks, they used the wooden structure of the wall to destroy it, and it was impossible for Witt to repeat the mistake of the past and give others a chance to take advantage of it.

"The owner of the village can rest assured that his subordinates will finish it as soon as possible......
