As soon as the peasants left on the front foot, Wang Zhi sent out a company supported by Liu Liu.

Why?

Of course, it was to build houses for 10,000 peasants.

This is tropical, except that the wind is stronger, there are more mosquitoes, and the air is more humid, the temperature is still suitable.

Fortunately, they have a lot of mosquito coils, which are enough to support.

Besides, after the surrounding trees were cleaned up, the mosquitoes would be untenable as soon as the wind blew.

There is a piece of land halfway up the mountain of Shenlong Island, where the terrain is flat and there are many trees, which can be used for local materials.

And he set up the four pillars of the house at the four corners, and put branches around them, and a house came out.

The room is equipped with a few beds, a set of tables, chairs and benches, and at most a cabinet for clothes.

In short, fast, everything is simple.

Since the peasants sent all women, girls and children, Wang Zhi planned to divide it into ten districts, with about 1,000 people in each district, and some doctors and guards would be enough.

There are no sewers, so you can only go to the dry toilet, sprinkle some lime around it, and send someone to clean it regularly.

In addition, some people can also be accommodated in the vacant houses of some government departments, and the weak and young are preferred.

The conditions are a little tougher, but you can deal with it.

As long as you pass this hurdle, good days are ahead.

Liu Zhi, who came back from completing the mission, was intercepted by Wang Zhi and sent to clean up the beasts halfway up the mountain.

Now there is a shortage of houses, even if there is no peasant family, the follow-up reinforcements will have to have land to live in.

The merchants followed Wang Xuan back, and the rest were technicians and laborers from various factories, as well as people who came here to pan for gold.

Coupled with the miraculous rise of Jixiang all the way to the past, they didn't have any crooked thoughts, coupled with effective internal supervision and a clear division of labor, the progress was not slow.

Back in the tribe's chaiyi, they immediately convened an emergency meeting of the clan.

This time it was very smooth, and Chai Feng's cooperative attitude made the resolutions pass smoothly.

"Chai Rong, you are responsible for preparing the food and organizing people to transport it overnight, at least enough for the 10,000 women and children. ”

Chai Rong answered and went out with someone.

Chai Yi was worried that there would be less food to be delivered, and the mascot did not wait to see those people.

"Elder Feng, the women and children of the clan are please. ”

"Good. ”

Chai Feng didn't talk nonsense, got up and took his gang away.

After everyone left, Chai Yi sat at the table alone, recalling the bits and pieces of these years, and the five flavors welled up in his heart, and tears soaked his clothes.

Who said that men don't shed tears, but they haven't reached the sad place.

The peasant family has reached a crossroads that will determine their fate!

"Has it really come to this?"

Chai Yi's wife walked in, her words full of worry.

"It's just two hands of equipment, I can't gamble on the future of the peasants. Chai Yi wiped the corners of his eyes, the old husband and wife didn't feel any shame, "Someone needs to be calmed down over there, you are the most suitable in the past, no one will chew your tongue on this matter." ”

Looking at the silver threads on his wife's sideburns and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, Chai Yi realized that she had really suffered all these years.

The two have no children so far, only one daughter, who is seventeen years old.

Although his wife recruited a few women who looked good to give birth to him, he refused.

The head of a family, in charge of a million people, he really has no extra energy to focus on the affairs of men and women, and with her, he is content.

As she grew older, her wife also stopped thinking about it.

No, no, no.

But the wife still had a knot in her heart, and she felt guilty for not being able to give him a son.

And Chai Yi, as the head of the family, rarely takes care of the family, and his wife is alone inside and out, and he also feels guilty.

So the relationship between the two is very good, and there are few times when they quarrel.

At this time, he said that he wanted to separate, and his wife was willing to leave wherever she wanted.

This walk may be goodbye.

"Take Zhen'er with you, don't distract me. ”

Mosuo looked at his wife's yellowed face, Chai Yi still chose to force her with righteousness, in his opinion, this departure may also be goodbye.

"It's not too early, hurry up and pack up, Elder Feng, I still have you to show up, we don't have time." ”

The woman left with tears in her eyes, and without waiting for her daughter to come back to say goodbye, Chai Yi put on the cloak of auspiciousness and went out.

This night, whether it is a mascot or a farmer, is destined to be sleepless.

The invaders have compiled the information they have gathered and are preparing for war in full swing.

The mascot built fortifications overnight, the soldiers worked in shifts, and the others worked more than eight hours a day, exchanging their lives for time.

The torches in the peasant settlement area were bright, bags of grain were piled up in two-wheeled carriages, and women and children under the age of twenty lined up, under the command of the clan soldiers, heading north, the long line was like a fiery snake, so enchanting.

Liu Liu, who had been busy for a day, returned to the base camp of Shenlong Island, and due to external environmental factors, he would meet with Wang Zhi every day to discuss undecided matters.

Of course, most of the day, he was in charge of the military headquarters.

"What do you think about this? ”

Wang Zhi told him in detail about the peasant clan and wanted to hear his thoughts.

"There are only women and children, not even older women, are they betting on us?"

"Yes, if the peasants are plagued, these women will be auspicious daughters-in-law in the future. These boys are not very old, and they are sent to the school for a few years, and who still remembers that they are peasants. ”

Not only Wang Zhi, but even Liu Liu admired the determination of the peasant clan, and bet on all his net worth, more confident than himself.

"Then, can we settle it?" Liu Liu was a little worried.

After all, Shenlong Island has not been developed for a long time, and many areas have not been cleaned up, and adults are fine, whether it is resistance or awareness of avoiding danger, it is good to grasp safety.

But these are women, girls and children, and if something happens, it's a big deal.

People handed over their families to the mascot for protection, not to send them to meet with an accident, what happened, how to explain it to Chai Yi?

"There are so many people, it is impossible to transfer them all at once. The climate here is still good, don't worry about freezing, as long as you clean up a large area, build some simple houses, and do a good job of hygiene, nothing will happen. ”

Wang Zhi said so, and did the same, and then he said that the flat land in the middle of the mountain was used as a peasant station, and Liu Liu expressed his support.

"If there is a shortage of manpower, I can support it more. ”

"No, the war is coming, let's let them eat and sleep well, it's not auspicious here, let's fold one less one, we can't afford it." ”

Wang Zhi's worries are clear to everyone, counting the common people, there are more than 5,000 people here, and excluding the old and young, only about 4,500 people can go up to the city wall, and there are many new young women.

On the navy's side, there are still more than ten warships, four supply ships, and two transport ships, with a number of about 2,030.

"Death and injury are inevitable, let everyone have their destiny.

I'm going to blow the trail open, and they're going to have to pay a bigger price if they want to come over here. Liu Liu also came to the table and pointed to the map on it and said.

"This, where are you going to bomb?" Wang Zhi asked.

"That's it, five hundred meters in front of the city gate, if they want to get close to the city wall, they must fill it with human lives. ”

Wang Zhi put on reading glasses and looked at the map carefully, "Then we will really become turtles in the urn." ”

"No, by raft, we can always communicate with the fleet and the farmers. ”

"That's right, then I support it. ”

Since there is a waterway to go and it is safe, it doesn't matter if the trail on this side exists or not, it's a big deal to drive out the enemy and repair it.

Since Wang Zhi had no opinion, Liu Liu thought about going to arrange it first, so that he could blow up the road first when the enemy came.

Wang Zhi saw that Liu Liu was leaving, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, there are still a few sets of surgical instruments and medical alcohol in the library, didn't you build a field hospital, send someone to take it, maybe you can use it." ”

Liu Liu was overjoyed when he heard this, "I'll arrange it." ”

Subsequently, the quartermaster sent someone to receive the approval slip, and then went to the government treasury to pick up the goods, including several sets of surgical knives, medical alcohol, forceps, cotton swabs, gauze, needles and threads for suturing wounds, etc., two large carts full.

This was life-saving material for the brothers, and they walked very steadily.

Around the hour, the first batch of grain for the peasants arrived, full of ten carts, and many people also carried grain on their shoulders.

"That's all we can use, so we can only use manpower to resist, and the two of us can make do with it. ”

Chai Rong said it very freely, but Wang Zhi was very sad when he heard it.

I patted him the shoulder and didn't say anything.

When the mascot saw so much food arrived, he cheered, they were not alone, they still had foreign aid.

That's enough, Wang Zhi didn't have the heart to explain this, so it's better.

That night, the peasants carried two batches of grain and delivered the first wave of women and children.

On the second day, two more batches of grain arrived, and at the same time, Jixiang received nearly 5,000 women and children.

"Leader Chai Rong, are there any more people?" Wang Zhi asked.

Coupled with the number of people in the night, there are now more than 9,000 people, and if there are any more, it is really difficult to do.

"No, the remaining old and weak will stay in the clan, and they won't cause you any trouble. ”

There is a level to what I said.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhi said again: "Last time, I said that I was not worried about the invaders retaliating against you, from the perspective of our chief officer, but it does not mean that they will not retaliate, can you understand this." ”

Wang Zhi wants the peasants to take some measures to protect themselves, or find a way out, don't be stupid and gamble on luck, generally this will not end well.

"Thank you for the reminder, our clan has discussed this matter, originally I wanted to organize a group of young people to come with women and children, and I can also help you defend the city, but the patriarch disagrees, for fear that you will have concerns. ”

That's really what happened.

But Wang Zhi can't invite people to garrison for the sake of face, it is estimated that Liu Liu will be the first to disagree.

But it's not impossible, so he thought about it and said, "Although Shenlong Island is not small, it has not yet been developed, and it can't squeeze so many people." As far as the current environment is concerned, it is better to take care of more people than to have fewer people, and we have to be cautious when the war is imminent. ”

This is an eight-point truth, explaining the reason for not taking them in, everyone has a hard time, no one should blame anyone, it would be good to take care of themselves.

"We've discussed it a few times here, but there's a plan, you can refer to it. ”

"Oh, Commissioner Wang, please speak. ”

This is a lifesaver, Chai Rong is young and has a lively head, unlike Chai Yi, who is a little rigid, so he naturally followed the conversation.

"That's right, our navy is not weak, and we have the strength to fight the enemy head-on, so this island on the east side is safe until we are defeated. You have a lot of ships and can move a group of people there, and we can provide a topographic map of the islands and a map of the distribution of resources. ”

It was a bonus.

It's not that the peasants don't want to transfer, but they don't have land.

The entire island to the north was sold to the mascots, and they were not allowed to land on their own.

Moreover, they who lived mainly in agriculture left the land on which they depended for their livelihood and went to the island full of stones, didn't they dig their own graves?

With a population of one million, these islands have no sustainable resources, where can they afford to feed them.

But since Wang Zhi said so, he must have a reason.

With doubts, Chai Rong explained the reason why the peasants did not move to the island, expecting Wang Zhi to explain his doubts.

After listening to this, Wang Zhi also understood their thoughts, to put it bluntly, it was still not at the last moment of life and death, and the desire to survive was not strong.

"I'm not going to let you all move to the islands, even though some of them are contiguous and not small, but as you said, there aren't many places to farm and not be able to support so many people.

I mean, you arrange for a group of pioneers to go there, and there are a lot of habitable islands there, and build the base first as a last resort.

At the same time, you can move some important supplies such as food to the island, even if the invaders are angry with you, and you can always survive for a while, and then our reinforcements will come.

The rest of us can build some fortifications around your dock, and if they do, they can buy some time for the transfer. ”

Wang Zhi's words couldn't be clearer.

The first step is to find the rear well, transfer important materials over, and retain the capital to survive.

The second step is to relocate some of the personnel to reduce the transportation pressure during the major retreat.

The third step is to exchange space for time, the enemy is really coming, keep people behind, don't sacrifice some people, those grains can't feed the entire race.

Chai Rong pondered Wang Zhi's words carefully, his face changed, he glanced at him a few times from time to time, and finally turned into a sigh, he understood the hidden meaning of the words.

Rong will go back and ask the patriarch, no matter what, the peasant people accept this feeling. ”

Looking at Chai Rong, who left in a hurry, Wang Zhi felt uncomfortable.

Although the cause of such a situation is not auspicious, but there is a cause to have an effect, auspiciousness has been involved in this cause and effect, and the life and death of the peasant people have to be managed.
