No matter what kind of conspiracy the other party is planning, it will not shake Luo Ming's pace now.

Of course, after discovering the matter of the Three Ape Division, he deeply realized the danger of the mastermind behind the scenes, but he would not be led by the other party.

Although Luo Ming is not afraid of seeing the move, but in that case, he will have to pay more mental work, and he will have to tense his nerves all the time, and if he is not careful, he may go wrong, which is actually no good.

Instead of passively accepting the move and following the rhythm of the other party, it is better to go your own way and follow your original pace, and the other party will have a headache at this time.

Under normal circumstances, of course, there is no capital to do this, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, and it is easy to be caught by the other party if I don't see the move.

But Luo Ming's strength is very strong - even if all the forces in the entire Carlo Mountain join forces against him, at most it can only delay his time to become the master of Carlo Mountain.

In addition to the soldiers and servants of Luo Ming's headquarters, the allies also sent some soldiers who had fought against monsters and fought the bishop together in the past, and also provided a lot of food to help.

Of course, borrowing troops and food like this will definitely have to repay the debt in the future, but both the allies and Luo Ming himself are convinced that he is a super performance stock, and Luo Ming will most likely not refuse even if he delays repaying his debts for an extra year or two.

As for what else - even if they were given more grain, they would not be able to digest it, and they would either put it in the warehouse to become moldy, or sell it to grain merchants, and endure a wave of exploitation.

So Lomin promised future profits from the Carlow Hill development, and even if the profits were insufficient, Lomin would be able to pay for them from his existing estate.

Although the Carlow Hill development project is still in a state of pouring money into it, and the so-called profit is just a big picture, even Lockin's current income is quite considerable - soap and distilled blends have not yet been sold outside of Van Shee County, but they have already reaped a lot of profits.

Even according to the current sales volume, it can net more than 200 gold coins in a year - if it is sold to the counties, it is appropriate to get an annual profit of thousands of gold coins.

If he went out now and publicly declared that he was going to borrow troops and food, perhaps many nobles outside the Covenant would take a stake - of course, the help of his allies was enough now, and he was not willing to give too many people the opportunity to meddle in Mount Carlo, which in his mind was to be a reliable rear base for him.

Even if these allies are now, Luo Ming only intends to give them some industrial dry shares or dividend rights, and will never let them infiltrate the actual power into the mountain.

To get back to the point, Luo Ming already has 840 soldiers in his hands this time, all of them are regular troops, and the militia of the Production and Construction Corps has now almost reached 700.

Holding such a powerful force in his hand is where Luo Ming's confidence lies in his own way and at his own pace.

Even if there is another great sword master, if you are not careful, you will break your head and bleed.

Luo Ming asked the soldiers to be vigilant and take turns to stand guard on duty, and then he dispatched the militia of the Production and Construction Corps and some other mountain people who were able to work, and let them start construction under the guidance of some officers and craftsmen.

Originally, the mountain people basically had to run every day for food, although there would be a little bit of food, but generally it was only enough to eat for a few days, and it was impossible to take a long-term off-production operation - but Luo Ming's allies who couldn't stand it sent bags of wheat flour directly, and Luo Ming covered all their food.

The reason why wheat flour is not called flour is because the wheat is sent to the mill without removing the bran, although the taste is rougher, but the bran accounts for a quarter of the total weight of the wheat grains, and if it is not removed, it is equivalent to adding one-third of the yield per mu.

Luo Ming's land production has increased, and he has not raised taxes too much, so that they can occasionally eat a few meals of flour with the bran removed, and the mountain people will not complain when they eat such food - they also grow wheat themselves as a supplement to food, the yield is low, the wheat grains are shriveled, not to mention, they can only rely on manual grinding, the taste is actually worse than this.

And what these mountain people have to do is complicated to say, but simple is simple.

For themselves, it is actually quite simple, go to cut trees, follow the craftsmen brought by Luo Ming to find clay to build a brick kiln to burn bricks, and then dig soil and lay bricks...... It's really not a high-tech job, and they do it very quickly.

Of course, some fine parts have to be handed over to the craftsmen brought by Luo Ming, but Luo Ming charges them by the piece, as long as they work more, they can get more money, and they are all very diligent, and even a mason's foot was smashed and swollen by a brick and "slightly injured and can't get out of the line of fire", limping and continuing to work for half a day - finally Luo Ming found out and asked an assistant priest to come over to help him heal his wounds, and those who didn't know thought he was very thoughtful and ready to select model workers.

And in order to prevent them from pursuing speed one-sidedly and ignoring quality problems, Luo Ming also prepared an extra amount of money - as long as these brick walls do not have accidents in the future, then they will be given some bonuses every year for five years.

said that it was complicated, because Luo Ming and Aya helped to undertake a lot of complex calculations and drawings - Aya was responsible for the calculation work and formulated the drawings of the building, while Luo Ming, as a swordsman, was superb in martial arts, he could carry a sword to stab flies, he could pick up a large blade and carve on tofu, and his hands were not stable, so he took on the work of drawing Aya's drawings on paper.

There is nothing unusual about the structure of the building on this drawing, except that it is simple and sturdy, except for beacon towers, watchtowers, city walls, houses, and ditches, and the materials are simple bricks, earth, cement, and wood—only the walls are rammed earth and covered with a layer of bricks.

Such a city wall is naturally less powerful than a stone city wall or a pure brick city wall, but even if the strength is low, it is still a city wall, and it is impossible for a big sword master to smash it, and it is impossible to have a gap without smashing it for half a day.

As for the siege equipment...... It's all garbage in front of artillery.

A heavy trebuchet that is tens of meters high and can throw stones from a distance of 500 meters is very powerful? Luo Ming set up a cannon with a range of thousands of meters at the head of the city, and it was completely possible to reduce it to a piece of rotten wood before it was transported and installed.

As for the siege engines and siege towers, not to mention whether they can move in the mountains, even if they barely get close, they will be killed.

At close range, it was easy for the artillery to hit such a large target, unless the gunner was blind, or he was in a half-asleep state.
