As soon as the recruits recruited by the imperial court arrived, Xiao'an Village became more and more lively.

After eating and drinking to send off the officials sent by the imperial court to hand over the troops, Yan Lao Er directly assigned the recruits.

Cutting down trees, digging ditches, building waterwheels by rivers, clearing land for farming......

The newcomers started their work vigorously.

The recruitment of troops by the imperial court was mainly concentrated in Qishan Mansion, which was severely affected.

As soon as this familiar local voice appeared, it directly filled the intimacy between the recruits and the people of Xiao'an Village.

The exchange is very frequent.

I heard that the situation of Qishan Mansion is very bad now, prices are soaring, there is no next meal after eating, the relief food of the imperial court is pitiful, the people in the city are in Wuyang, and the wells in the city are controlled by big households and even local ruffians.

The people of Xiao'an Village were glad to hear this.

Fortunately, the village elders had the right idea and followed the Yan family to Guanzhou.

Otherwise, they will have to fight hard to grab water and others.

After careful inquiry, I learned that the imperial court's recruitment quota this time was not expensive, and it was necessary to be strong and healthy, and An Jiayin would only give half of it.

The money is left for the family to spend.

The 5,000 recruits slept all the way through the air, relying on their feet, and they were even more miserable than when they fled the famine last year.

At least they had a few cars to get around, they could take turns resting, the weather was warm, and they had a few meat meals on the way.

But look at these thousands of people, and they don't have a good pair of shoes on their feet.

Not to mention eating and drinking, can they ensure that they will not starve to death, and even if they complete the task, they still expect the officials who escorted them over to give them good food and drink?

The villagers went home and turned out old straw shoes.

There are also some broken bowls and jars, although there are cracks or something, they are not willing to throw them, and give them to the villagers to use first.

"You're here, we're here!"

The ladies of the village watched the fire and kept sewing clothes to make new shoes.

"You can't be wrong with Yan Zongqi! Work steadfastly, look at this porridge we boiled, dry thin or thin, you can fill your stomach without dry food, Yan Er on the first day you came, oh, Yan Zongqi said, don't use you to work in vain, we will give you meat in the village, what do you say? ”

"The military and civilians are a fish and water situation!" Mrs. Qi bit off the thread, unfolded the clothes to take a look, put them in the garment basket on the side, and took out a few pieces of cut cloth and twisted the needle and sewed them. "You help our village farm, we are grateful, and we will send you meat and vegetables!"

"Yes, it's the love between fish and water!" Mrs. Wang answered: "My kid has been netting fish for two days, I have listened to the inquiry, and I will make you pancakes and fish soup tonight!" Fresh! ”

"Said to pull the pig back tomorrow to kill? Luo Sandu has made a deal with others? Why don't you kill sheep, we have so much. ”

"The lard and water are bigger, these boys have empty stomachs, and they can't make up for them if they do such heavy work every day."

"Then we all have to go over tomorrow, these old people have to kill a lot of pigs, boil water and scald the hair to catch the pig's blood...... There's still a lot to do! ”

"Then I have to help with the work, just let Luo San pull the pig to kill here, the big stove and cauldron here are ready-made......"

Before noon, the news that the village was going to kill pigs for them to feed the morrow was spreading among the recruits.

"Did you hear me? Is it true? We're thousands of people, if you really kill pigs for us, how many will we get?! ! I can't even think about it! ”

"If you can drink fish soup and eat cakes, we won't be beautiful, and you want to eat pork for us?!"

"The general flag is too good for us!"

"Woooooooooooo I miss my mother, I miss home, when I was busy with farming, my mother was willing to buy meat for our brothers to eat......"

"What are you crying about! Let's do a good job, and in the future, we will send all the money back to the family, so that they can have water to drink and food to eat, and as long as people live, there is hope for goodbye. ”

"Zongqi said that these lands we opened are not only to help the village, but also our own, you say, can it be true?"

"Didn't Zongqi say it in front of all of us on the first day, what's the matter, don't you believe it?"

"I think the general banner is true, the court will deduct half of the money given to us to settle down, and it is not unusual for this food and salary to be given incompletely, this matter cannot be broken, and we will not stay in this new barracks all the time, when will we go out and ask other soldiers.

Then we can't wait to be hungry, expect people to make up for us, it's better for us to make more effort ourselves, catch up with this good time for spring ploughing, let's plant it, the seeds are the villagers in the village on credit, then let's take them to do some work, our fellow treat us more pro, and send us shoes and meat, alas! If it weren't for the fact that I was so hungry, I really didn't have the face to make it so white. ”

"One person said yes, ten people said yes, and everyone in the village said that the Yan family is good and our general flag is good, that's really good, anyway, I believe it!"

"I'm afraid you don't know that these people are not all under the control of General Yan, saying that when we finish training, we will have to go to other military camps."

"Then I wish I could stay here."

"Me too!"

"I'm the same!"

……

Yan Yu doesn't have to go to the ground now.

Good guy, thousands of strong laborers have cleared the wasteland, and this meeting has opened her eyes.

It's spectacular!

The canal in the village is visibly lengthening, and it is excavated along with the location of the planned high wall.

Not to mention, the progress of land reclamation has already exceeded her expectations.

Because the labor force was really sufficient, Yan Yu also built a grain storage warehouse in the west of the village and in the two arrow towers in the village.

Storage of food for the boot barracks.

Master Lu became the head of the construction of the barracks, and his brothers, his sons, and his nephews all brought a long line of apprentices to build houses for the barracks.

Yan Lao Er made careful calculations, and after learning from several criminal officials who had worked in the Ministry of Industry before, he decided to invite a master who could burn bricks from other villages to come back, and cut out the cost of building a brick kiln and the cost of the master's labor, and they still earned!

According to the statements of several convicts, the difficulty lies in building a brick kiln, and then how to burn bricks is to accumulate experience, sincerely support the master for a few years, and bring a few apprentices, and this brick kiln was established in the village.

In addition to the village's own use, you can also sell it if you are wealthy in the future.

It's a long-term livelihood.

As soon as the village elders heard about it, they slapped their thighs and muttered that they didn't know about it, and how much more money it cost to buy bricks from outside......

The convicts saw the village elders' picking.

The village elders also realized that these big men who committed crimes really had something in their heads.

The village elders discussed it and decided to wait for the brick kiln in the village to be built and build houses for them.

Of course, you can't occupy the homestead like the families in the village, there are several houses in the front and back yards, and you can learn the kind of cottage in the city, one by one, which doesn't occupy much space, and you can save a lot of materials.

Let's look at the first chapter.,Make up for it in the code~
