Chapter 142: Expansion

"I'm going to Yanchang County for development, after you summarize it to me, I will choose the strong as soldiers, three meals a day, one dry meal, and the weak Tuntian, also three meals a day, two dry and one thin, you promise, you can drink porridge now, and then follow me to extend." Wang Zhi didn't say much, in a word, I have something to eat.

Hearing this, the three old men looked at each other for a while, and after discussing with their eyes, they knelt down together: "We are willing to summarize it to the general." ”

"Get up, go and call your people, and come with us when you have finished drinking the porridge!"

"Yes, yes!"

The three old men went back happily and said something to the homeless, and a group of homeless people ran towards this side happily, but when they arrived at Wang Zhi, they stopped and looked at the two cauldrons in a daze.

Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, Wang Zhi took out the electric horn and said loudly: "My name is Wang Zhi, since you have promised to be loyal to me, you will listen to my rules in the future, and now I will say that the first rule is to line up, whether it is to eat or receive things, all must line up, and it is not allowed to crowd together in a chaotic manner." Now, everyone is lined up in five, one person stands behind the other, when is it lined up, when is it porridge eaten. ”

Under the power, these homeless people were still very obedient, and soon formed a line of five.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi opened the door of the space, and those homeless people saw that a white hole suddenly appeared next to Wang Zhi, they were a little panicked, and they were almost in chaos, but the family members on both sides held spears to intimidate them to keep the formation, otherwise there must be many people who would be scared and run away.

"Go in and bring out the porridge, and then divide it among them." Wang Zhi instructed a team of family members beside him.

The homeless people immediately went into the space-time corridor to bring out the porridge, and when the homeless people saw the housekeeper take out buckets of rice porridge with white flowers from the white hole, the fear dissipated a lot, and they quieted down, and lined up to lead the porridge.

Twenty barrels plus two large pots of rice porridge were more than enough for hundreds of homeless people to eat, and each person drank a large bowl, although it was not full, but it could be regarded as recovering some strength, Wang Zhi found the three old men who were in charge of the negotiation before and asked them about their situation.

They are villagers of a nearby Zhangjia village, because all of them are members of the Zhangjia clan, and they can barely get by, but some time ago a group of homeless people came and robbed their village, not only injured many people, but this year's rations were all robbed, and the crops could not be ripe without food, so the whole village had to start fleeing.

The person who spoke to Wang Zhi before was Zhang Song, the patriarch of the Zhang clan, Wang Zhi asked him to manage his own people, and after asking the direction of Yanchang County, he took them along the Yan River to Yanchang County.

walked for five days in a row, along the way, Wang Zhi encountered more than a dozen groups of homeless people one after another, but he never encountered hundreds of people like Zhangjiacun, who dragged his family with hundreds of people, all of them were in groups of dozens or more than 100 people, and the composition was mostly middle-aged men, but as long as there was a certain proportion of women and children who were homeless, Wang Zhi would accept them, and the kind of people who were completely middle-aged men would let the family team dispatch, whether it was a bad person or not, it would be regarded as a military training.

This kind of acceptance is almost unrefusal, and it also expands Wang Zhi's team from more than 300 people at the beginning to more than 2,000 people.

In addition to the homeless, along the way, I encountered three waves of thieves, two waves of sitting mountain bandits who blocked the road and robbed, not much stronger than the homeless, just the Jiading team easily defeated them, but the third wave was the horse thieves attracted by their huge team, Wang Zhi took action to kill them.

The horse thieves who plundered everywhere had much more oil and water than the mountain bandits, and the horse thieves who destroyed this group of more than 50 people not only harvested a lot of property, but also dozens of horses, but Wang Zhi's family members did not know how to ride horses, so they could only let some homeless people who had raised horses lead them.

At this time, this huge team of displaced people stopped at the foot of a mountain, began to bury the pot for cooking, set up the pot, and someone took a bucket to the river to fetch water, poured it into the pot, and then took out two brick-sized objects from a woven bag and threw them into the pot. This is the compressed biscuit produced by the second uncle's factory, in which all kinds of nutrients are very balanced, only for the homeless people to eat this, two pieces can cook a big pot of paste, which greatly relieves the logistical pressure.

When ordinary homeless people are buried in the pot to cook, outside the team, Wang Zhi and his family are also eating, but what they eat is not ordinary paste, three bowls in front of each person, a bowl of white flowery rice, a bowl of seaweed egg soup and a bowl of vegetables, half of meat and vegetables, Wang Zhi's cooking secrets, plus after cooking for so long, the logistics team is no longer the second-in-command who can only cook soup in the past, and there are also a few good at stir-frying, such as braised pork and braised fish pieces, and today's two dishes are braised pork and fried tofu with cabbage.

Opposite Wang Zhi, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan gown picked up a piece of red braised pork, stuffed it into his mouth, and took it for a while before he began to chew, with an expression of enjoyment, and then he realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly confessed: "Don't blame the lord, students haven't eaten such delicious food for many years." ”

"You also said the same thing when you ate meatballs the day before yesterday, is this already in Yanchang County?" Wang Zhi asked.

This middle-aged man, called Zhong Yicai, has the name of Xiucai, is a native of Yanchang County, and was appointed by Wang Zhi as an assistant officer, that is, an official who assists him in managing the displaced people, and the displaced people refer to them as "Li Chang", more than 2,300 displaced people, and there are five assistant officials responsible for management, all of whom were originally more prestigious among the displaced people, for example, Zhang Song, the patriarch of the Zhang clan, is also one of the assistant officers, responsible for managing the Zhang clan.

Zhong Yicai was appointed as an assistant officer by Wang Zhi, not because of his fame, among the more than 2,300 refugees accepted by Wang Zhi, there were more than 40 literate people, and there were four people with meritorious fame. He was also stabbed to death.

As a feudal literati hated by Wang Zhi, Zhong Yi was able to get the position of assistant officer, and he did have some talents, not to mention anything else, he started to escape from Yanchang County, and when he met Wang Zhi, his wife and a son and daughter were still alive.

"This place is already in Yanchang County, and it belongs to Wen'anli."

"Do you know where there is coal?" Wang Zhi asked, since the Song Dynasty in China, coal has been used on a large scale to make iron, and there are illustrations depicting miners mining coal underground in Tiangong Kaiwu, which shows that people at that time had a very clear understanding of coal.

"My lord, Yanchang has been a coal-producing place since the Song Dynasty, with coal mines all over the territory, and there are more than 100 coal mining mines,"

After being appointed by Wang Zhi as an assistant officer, Zhong Yicai automatically put himself into the role of a master and even a strategist, so other refugees and assistant officials all called Wang Zhi a general or an adult, and only he called Wang Zhi the lord.

"Did you know that there are mines close to water sources, preferably by the big river, and even better if there are iron mines nearby?" In addition to providing power, coal also has a role in making iron, and it is better to be close to iron ore.

"Students know one of these places, but it's closer to the county seat." Zhong Yicai is not stupid, he can naturally see that Wang Zhi's group is not an official army, they have such good weapons and equipment, and they also collect the displaced people, if they are not an official army, they must be anti-thieves, since they are anti-thieves, they must not be too close to the county seat, he does not think that Wang Zhi's family, which is less than 100 people, can capture the county seat.

"It's okay, just go there, you lead the way!" Wang Zhicai, who has absolute strength, is not afraid of being close to the county seat.

"Lord, the student knows that you are not afraid of prolonging the county soldiers in the county, but my strength is weak now, so it is better to keep a low profile and not provoke the attention of the imperial court, so as not to attract the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army." Zhong Yicai admonished that he was now determined to join Wang Zhi's rebel team.

Hearing this, Wang Zhi put down his chopsticks, pointed to himself and asked Zhong Yicai, "Do you think I look like an ordinary person?" ”

"The lord has great mana, and he can make immortal law, how can ordinary people reach." Zhong Yicai is telling the truth, and he is definitely not a sycophant, because Wang Zhi often opens the space door to return to the main world or goes to the ninth world, and does not shy away from them at all, so these outcasts all know that General Wang can spell, which is why Zhong Yicai is willing to be loyal to Wang Zhi, a small thief with less than 100 people, after all, now that the number of Ming Qi is not exhausted, few scholars defect to the anti-thief.

"Then do you think I'll be afraid of the imperial army? No matter how many people the court sends, I can destroy them with one hand. Wang Zhi said very domineeringly, his words did not contain a trace of water, no matter how many troops the imperial court sent, he could scare them into collapse with one punch.

"Lord Shenwei, the students know." Although he said this, Zhong Yicai was still skeptical of Wang Zhi's words, he was really so powerful, why didn't he go directly to the capital?

If Wang Zhi knew Zhong Yicai's thoughts at this time, he would say a word about the limitations of feudal literati, he really thought that he could become the new emperor by killing the emperor, how could it be so easy.

"What I say, you are responsible for the implementation, don't think too much, some don't have."

Seeing that Wang Zhi's face was cold, Zhong Yicai didn't answer with interest, and quickly picked up the rice in the bowl.

・・・・・・

Well, I still decided to write about the ordinary end of the Ming Dynasty, and the traverser smash brawl was still put in the second world of the end of the Ming Dynasty as originally planned.

Then, friends who don't have a collection or watch piracy, come to the starting point to collect it.
