One hundred and thirty-eighth day after the crossing.

The sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds, and the dripping rain was mixed with loose light white snowflakes, which smashed on the tops of the trees, on the ground, in the water...

Named by Li Kang as the gold panning point of the Fuxi camp, the gold diggers did not stop their work because of this small sleet.

He Bei, a seventeen-year-old newcomer wearing a hat and a robe, was huffing while enduring the biting cold of the river under his feet, and the tin basin in his hand was violently inserted into the bottom of the river, and he lifted the tin basin full of river sand out of the water with a trumpet, and then quickly turned around, ran ashore, and rushed towards the barrel pile.

A lot of exercise and the cold weather made the hands and feet of this thin young man red and red, and there were beads of sweat overflowing on his forehead, which was a feeling of ice and fire on the outside and hot inside.

But all this did not make He Bei have any complaints, for He Bei, whose grandfather is a tenant, his father is a tenant, and he has been herding cattle for the landlord since he was seven years old, since he was summoned, he polished rice and white flour every day, salted fish and fresh meat are enough--the new immigrants do not pay wages in the first month, only take care of the meal-not to mention that it is still three meals a day, the landlord's family is not so luxurious, compared to the happy life that he couldn't think of before, what is this hardship?

This kind of thinking of He Bei is common among new immigrants, so the harsh environment has not weakened the enthusiasm of the gold diggers and affected the progress of gold panning.

This is very satisfying to Li Kang, who has been personally involved in recycling.

Today's Fuxi camp, the scale is no less than the Xin'an Town before the completion of the "city wall", and when the population reaches 500 people, it can be logically upgraded and renamed "Fuxi Town".

Fuxi, one of the legendary Three Emperors, Emperor Fuxi.

The reason why this place is named 'Fuxi' is because all kinds of names must be indispensable in the future, Li Kang is troublesome, so he simply tries to name the place name with the name, trade name, honorific title, etc. of ancient celebrities, and mainly uses celebrities that Li Kang is not ready to call, such as thinkers, non-essential poets, writers, and painters who have not been waiting to see, but after all, people have been famous through the ages, have made outstanding contributions, and cannot turn a blind eye, such as some 'emperors through the ages' In order to show respect for them, it is very appropriate to use their names as place names, and it can also solve Li Kang's naming troubles, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

As the first 'Chinese territory' outside the 'capital' of Xin'an Town, the name of Fuxi, the head of the Three Emperors, is enough to match its identity.

A row of wooden houses built along the river bank, in the form of a long snake, is located in the west of the middle of the Jin River, backed by an unknown hill, there are two hundred people, because Li Kang will summon most of the displaced people in Xin'an Town, and most of the soldiers who stay in the camp are soldiers, so most of the more than 200 people are young men, and less than one-third of the gold pans who are directly involved in gold panning - mainly because Li Kang can't recover it, there is no need to send more people- Letting them be idle is a serious waste of labor, and it just so happens that no one is nagging here, and there are no bad signs of the nearby natives, so Li Kang's fanatical 'infrastructure heart' is ready to move again.

First of all, although no one nagged, but forced by the tense living environment, Li Kang had to bow to reality, temporarily postponed his favorite cement road, and chose to build a fence at both ends of this narrow corridor first, especially the camp is also surrounded by mountains and rivers, saving both sides, the work intensity is not large, and the construction period is not long.

At this time, Li Kang and a group of people were inspecting the fence at the north end of the camp, this project has been carried out for three days, because the north end is narrower than the south end, and the wall is being repaired quickly, and today it is in the final stage.

And Li Kang came over to find the location of the arrow tower that would be built after the completion of the wall, in addition to the arrow tower behind the wall, he also planned to build another one on the hillside next to it.

"Lord, if the arrow tower is built on the mountain, then it is necessary to build a road up the mountain, I'm afraid..."Zhou Bi was obviously not optimistic about Li Kang's idea, and frowned.

Li Kang knew that Zhou Bi's worries were nothing more than the fear of spending a lot, but Li Kang didn't think so, he would rather spend more time and money than let the people be idle, as long as there is a need, then repair.

"Don't worry, this cost is still bearable. Li Kang said with a smile while finding the best position to go up the mountain, "Only by climbing high can you see far, and the safety of the camp is the most important." Glancing at Zhou Bi, "Besides, don't you think that the people are too idle and easy to make trouble?

"Yes, the lord is wise!" Zhou Bi could only say anything but compliment. He wasn't worried about Li Kang's indiscriminate spending of money at all, he actually wanted Li Kang to spend his limited resources on riots and food, rather than a senseless waste, yes, in the hearts of the Fuxi camp military led by Zhou Bi, unnecessary construction is a waste of resources, just like the arrow tower on the mountain that is about to be launched.

Among the people behind him, some of them looked at each other helplessly, and they all showed unwillingness, but they could only sigh in their hearts, and they had to keep up with Li Kang and help him choose the location.

......

In Xin'an Town, in the newly built temporary town mansion, the mayor Yu Wenkai was staring at the first-class deacon of the Coordination Division standing at the table with an ugly face, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, there is a group of natives with unknown attitudes sneaking around outside the town?"

"It's... Forehead... Yes!" Compared with Li Kang, who was born in an ordinary merchant family, Yu Wenkai, who was born in a noble family, has too strong aura, and usually because of deliberate control, it is nothing, but now it is exuded in a hurry, and Zhi Jing, who bears the brunt of it, is sweating on his forehead under the pressure of this momentum, and he can't even speak.

Yu Wenkai also realized that he was out of shape, and immediately regained his composure, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Do you know who they are?

"Uh... Because the time is still short, the identities of these people can't be determined..."Zhi Jing said, glanced up at Yu Wenkai again, saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged, and hurriedly said, "But we think it's nothing more than people from a few surrounding tribes, or a certain passing migratory tribe, or some defeated people and wanderers who gathered together!"

"You're so sure it's not a big tribe a little farther away, you should know that there are many thousand tribes on both sides of our northwest, and they should have the confidence to watch over us more than small tribes, right?" Yu Wenkai asked with an expressionless face.

When Zhi Jing heard this, the sweat on his forehead was even more, and Zhi Wu said: "Because... It's freezing cold, and these big tribes should... Didn't stand the expedition of the laborers... Besides, since ancient times, the conquest has mostly been in the autumn, and the natives can be forced to go out in the harsh winter, and the possibility of food shortage is the greatest, compared to the small tribes, the large tribes have a stronger ability to resist hunger, so they will not take risks, so..."

"Hmm..." Yu Wenkai nodded, unable to hear whether he agreed or opposed, but skipped the question and changed to a question, "Then what are they doing outside the town?"

"I didn't do anything, I just looked into the town, because there was a fence, they climbed trees, and other than that, they didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Zhi Jing replied, "It's just that recently we found that there are fewer people outside the town, and we guess we should go back to report the news... But not all of them were withdrawn. ”

"I see, you go down first!"

"No!"

After Zhi Jing left, Yu Wenkai shouted outside: "Someone!"

"Your Excellency..."

"Please take a long time through the door. ”

"No!"
