Chapter 143: Arrival
After eating, led by Zhong Yicai, Wang Zhi led the way with more than 2,000 homeless people towards the coal mine he said.
Along the way, Wang Zhi fully understood the meaning of the word desolation, all the way was abandoned land, and the villages passing by were also empty**, through most of Yanchang County, walked for nearly two days, and the people he met on the road could be counted with one hand.
When they were about to arrive at the mine that Zhong Yicai said, there were more people on the way, but as soon as they saw his huge team, they avoided it from afar, but Wang Zhi could detect that someone had been following them, needless to say, it must be a spy sent by the county town.
"My lord, if it weren't for the entry of Jiannu into the Kou last year, the armies of the three sides (Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu Trilateral Towns) would have entered King Qin, and now the county town is afraid that it will send troops to drive me away." Zhong Yicai also wanted to admonish, after all, in his opinion, it was indeed not a good thing to be too close to the county seat.
"Needless to say, I have my own decision." Leng Yan blocked Zhong Yicai's remaining words, and Wang Zhi immediately walked quickly to the front of the team and shook him off.
Even though Zhong Yicai was unwilling, he finally brought people to the mine. The mine is located in the upstream of a tributary of the Yan River that flows into the Yan River from the side of Yanchang County, and is only more than 30 miles away from Yanchang County, which can be reached in one or two hours.
Because of the peasant uprising led by Zhang Yingjin and Wang Ziyong broke out in Yanchang County in the first year of Chongzhen, the county seat was breached, and the large landlords in the county were basically wiped out, so the mine was naturally abandoned, and the shack next to the mine for the miners to live in had been abandoned for a long time, and it was impossible to live in.
Because the coal mines here are shallow and basically open-pit mining, and the pit is not far from the shack, Wang Zhi naturally could not build a city here, so he summoned five assistant officials to inspect the surrounding area together, and finally selected a gravel land under a hill near the mine, and decided to build a city here to settle the displaced people.
"I plan to build a city here and settle the people, if you have any ideas and opinions, you can put them forward." Wang Zhi asked the five assistant officers.
"General, this place is suitable for building a city, but how to solve this material?" An assistant officer asked, his name was Zhang Youyu, he was a mason, and he was the most authoritative of the group of homeless people in terms of construction, and more than 100 craftsmen and their families among the homeless people were under his control
"I'll take care of the materials." The final finishing work of the warehouse in the main world has also been completed, and it can already be used, Wang Zhi can directly transport cement from the main world, and it can be used to build cities and houses.
"Now that you've arrived at your destination, it's time to start working, you go and gather all the men in the prime of life, I have something to announce."
On the way to Yanchang County, Wang Zhi only registered the displaced people, and then appointed five assistant officials to manage them, and did not make much other arrangements, because he spent most of his time arranging materials in the main world, after all, the rebellion was about to start, and all the materials needed were sent to the sea, and he had to finalize them in the same way.
Now that we have reached our destination, it is time to subdivide these displaced people, and those who are strong will go to the army, and those who have a skill are workers, and those who don't know anything will be laborers, and where they need to go.
Among the displaced people, in addition to the assistant officer appointed by Wang Zhi, there is also a group of people who are not considered management, that is, the gang leader, Wang Zhi according to the number of people who can support the paste boiled in a pot, and the gang leader is responsible for cooking, and is also responsible for going to Wang Zhi to receive compressed biscuits that they call grain bricks, because they are in charge of important grain, and the gang leader is a respected person in each gang, although there is no substantive right, but each gang of displaced people is more obedient to the gang leader.
After Wang Zhi discovered this phenomenon, he saw that no gang dared to embezzle grain, and there was no oppression, so he acquiesced to the existence of this class, after all, he needed a group of grassroots managers.
Under the organization of the gang leader, the young and strong among the displaced people quickly gathered on the gravel ground, each gang lined up, and the gang leader stood at the back, without saying a word, quietly waiting for Wang Zhi to speak.
Wang Zhi registered a total of 2,357 displaced people under his command, of which the majority were men between the ages of 16 and 35, accounting for 70 percent, and there were 1,642 people.
Wang Zhi took the electric horn, walked to the displaced people, and said loudly: "You are all poor people who have to abandon their fields and land and go out to escape because of natural disasters or **, if it weren't for the good luck that met me, at least half of you would starve to death on the way to escape the famine, and the rest of you will be like those who were killed by my men along the way, living by eating people, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, and they are eventually eaten by others."
But you are lucky, because you have met me, I have food here, and I have food that will feed you for a hundred years, but food cannot be given to you for nothing, and from this day onwards you will have to do things for me in exchange for daily rations.
In my case, there are three classes of people, and the treatment of each class is also different: those who are strong and strong are soldiers, and they are the first class, and they have a dry meal and meat every day; There is a skilled elder craftsman, who is the second class, eats grain bricks, and eats vegetable soup with food; The rest is the third class, the men do the hard work, and the women are responsible for cooking, washing, and mending, feeding on grain bricks and paste, and pickles as food.
In addition to these three people, the old and the young are also collectively supported by me. Now the division of grades begins, and those who have a skill, go to the left to register; If you are willing to join the military, go to the right to sign up and get tested. ”
As soon as Wang Zhi finished speaking, the people who were originally standing neatly all ran to the right to sign up.
In the past, when the family Ding team ate, they never shied away from these homeless people, so these homeless people knew that Wang Zhi's family members could eat meat at every meal, and they usually saw the family Ding team eating meat, they could only drool greedily, and now they heard that they also had the opportunity to eat meat at once, and they scrambled one by one, and even many craftsmen with a skill also ran to be tested, which made Zhang Youyu embarrassed.
More than 1,000 young and strong, it will take a while to pick, Wang Zhi called the five assistant officers to him and began to arrange their work: "After the family team has finished selecting people in a while, you can arrange the rest of the people to lay the foundation and tamp the ground." ”
If you build your own house, it is estimated that the residence of more than 2,000 people will have to be busy for more than half a year, not to mention expansion, in order to save time, Wang Zhi ordered a large number of movable steel plate houses in the No. 3 world, and only need to lay the foundation here.
"Lord, the house can't be built right away, should we send people into the mountains to cut wood and build some shacks for everyone to shelter in?" Zhong Yicai suggested that he did not know about the movable steel house.
"No, it's enough to have these tents now, and the houses will be set up in no time." On the way to Yanchang, Wang Zhi returned to the main world and bought a lot of large tents for field construction and disaster relief, which were used for the family and the homeless people.
"You wait here, I'll go to the sky and see the terrain."
After speaking, Wang Zhi took out the bamboo dragonfly, put it on his head and flew up, this was the first time he flew in front of outsiders, and the displaced people who were being screened by the Jiading team in the distance saw it, and many of them were so frightened that they bowed their heads, although the Jiading team had never seen Wang Zhi fly, but in their minds, the teacher was omnipotent, flying was nothing, and they were not very surprised, and after being surprised, they immediately suppressed those displaced people who had messed up the order.
And Wang Zhi, who suddenly flew up at this time, was not to pretend to be forced, but planned to fly to a high place to take a closer look at the terrain below, so as to plan the structure of the city.
It's definitely not enough to just look at it, Wang Zhi took a few bird's-eye views with his mobile phone, and when he landed, he saw the five assistant officers looking surprised, and he didn't care, he took out a notebook and transferred the pictures in the mobile phone to the computer, and then shouted to the five people who were still in a sluggish state: "Come back to your senses, look here......"
The five assistant officials had long regarded Wang Zhi as an immortal, and they were not as fearful as those ordinary homeless people, and immediately looked at the place where Wang Zhi pointed his finger.
I saw Wang Zhi draw a circle in the middle of the photo on the computer, clicked on the piece he drew and said: "First dig a trench around the place I painted, which will be used as the foundation of the future city wall, and then here, first tamp the ground on the left side ......" Saying, Wang Zhi suddenly looked at Zhang Youyu: "I remember that a few of the craftsmen can burn bricks!" ”
Hearing Wang Zhi's question, Zhang Youyu hurriedly replied: "Yes, there are six old craftsmen who burn bricks." ”
"Arrange some people for them and let them build kilns to burn bricks." As the two major raw materials for construction, cement Wang Zhi can be transported from the main world, but brick and stone is not good, the efficiency of transportation from the main world is too low, and localized production must be completed.
"Yes, the little ones will be arranged." Zhang Youyu hurriedly answered.
"Okay, you guys go, I'll go and see how the soldiers are screened."
Wang Zhi's test to screen soldiers is actually two, first lifting weights, this is a test of strength, a ninety pound barbell, can be lifted and lifted for three seconds to be qualified; Then there is running, which tests endurance, ten kilometers, and can be completed in an hour.
What is being done now is a weightlifting test, ninety pounds of barbells are not difficult for these perennial farmers, most of them are qualified, standing aside and watching others lift barbells, when Wang Zhi came over, whether it was passing or waiting in line, they cast an awe-inspiring look at him.
Wang Zhi saw that the queue was long, and knew that this screening would have to be carried out for a while, and after saying a few words of encouragement, he opened the space door and left this world.
