The big boss and the three big families who returned to Longzhai didn't know that this time the pirates came ashore and were wiped out.

not only died of death, but also caught it, but also shook off the matter of returning to Longzhai.

At this time, they are still waiting for the pirates to spread the good news!

If it weren't for the fact that the second boss was arrested and beheaded to show the public, it was too difficult for them to enter the city again, and now it would have been too difficult for them to enter the city again, they would have gone to inquire about the news by themselves.

However, even if he didn't enter the city, he learned from the villages around the city that the fishing villages along the coast of Nanyue Fucheng had been wiped out.

Those who listen to the news are afraid that their identities will be discovered.

I only dared to ask a few rough words, and then went back to tell him.

I didn't know that although some fishing villages were destroyed, those pirates also kicked the iron plate, died and caught.

"Big boss, I believe it won't be long before this Lord Futai has no intention of putting any thought on our stockade!"

The third master smoothed the two mustaches on his mouth and said proudly.

"The third child, why don't you take advantage of the fact that Nanyue Mansion is now focused on the fishing village, and let's do a good job?"

When the big boss thought that he had been hiding in the stockade all these days, he was really suffocating.

Today's Lord Futai of Nanyue Mansion definitely has no intention of targeting them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he took his brothers down the mountain to do a big job, and when the time came, he would hide in the village for a few more months, and he would not be so depressed!

When the third master heard the boss's words, he couldn't help but think of the grain stored in the cottage warehouse now.

Although it can at least let everyone in the village eat for a year and a half.

But who is afraid of having too many things?

The most important point is that there was no target for them in Nanyue Province before, and they could still take silver taels and secretly go to Nafu City to buy grain.

But now, even if the big guy has the silver in his hand, he can't spend it!

Therefore, this year's and a half years of grain storage seems to be really a bit insufficient.

"Okay, then let the brothers go and inquire carefully, and be sure to get a fat sheep."

Money is secondary, and the most important thing is to be able to get food.

In fact, it stands to reason that Cui Qingyuan asked the people to plant the sweet potatoes, just relying on the yield of the sweet potatoes, deducting the taxes paid, it is enough for people to eat their stomachs.

It's a pity that this time Longzhai was killed before because the predecessor Futai was killed, and the new Futai was not familiar with it, so it was not very clear about the high-yield crop of sweet potatoes promoted by Cui Qingyuan.

And, in their hearts.

Naturally, the ones that can fill your stomach are rice and wheat, and so on.

What kind of high-yield sweet potatoes are, it is estimated that this new Futai lord is talking nonsense and fooling the people.

Why did they fall into the grass before, wasn't it because the greed of the officials would fool them as low-class pariahs?

Cui Qingyuan didn't know what the two masters in Huilongzhai thought of him.

After receiving Xie Qiping's reply, he patiently waited for the arrival of the three thousand soldiers and horses.

As for the matter of the three pirates, he covered them to death and did not let anyone know.

is also because of Mrs. Ning's heroic fight against this group of pirates this time, and a reminder that for Liu Hulai's request to buy more stones, she gave a note with a big stroke of the pen!

Speaking of this stone, there is a stone mine in the county under the jurisdiction of Nam Viet Province.

The terrain here is special, and it is basically impossible to plant land, because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and this mountain is full of stones.

I happen to live in a fishing village by the sea, and the houses built with thatched houses are easily blown away by the sea breeze.

It was also here that the county commander had a flexible brain, and immediately thought of chiseling the stone into a square shape and selling it to the fishing villages along the coast to build stone houses.

After feeling that the stone house is much better than the thatched house, most of the fishermen in the fishing village, as long as they have a little silver in their hands, will be willing to spend silver to buy stones to build the house.

So, at first, the chiseled stone was not very sold.

Later, it was in short supply.

After all, the stones on this mountain, piece by piece, need to be knocked down by someone and then chiseled into stones by hand to be useful.

In this way, the amount that people who need it will naturally not be able to buy a lot at one time.

The Ning family wanted to build a stone tulou, even if it was silver to open the way, it would only buy part of it.

After all, the stones in this stone mine could not be given to the Ning family.

Liu Hu really had no choice but to ask in front of Lord Futai.

Hearing what Liu Hu said, Cui Qingyuan didn't say a word, so he wrote a note of approval, asking the local county order to give priority to the stones needed by the Ning family.

Liu Hu, who went to buy stones with the approval slip, naturally got what he wanted.

Pulling a large number of stones back to Yujiawan, and at this time, the tulou built in Ning's house in Yujiawan was already five meters high.

But even if it was five meters high, Ning Pengpeng still shook his head, saying that it was not enough, and he had to build it again.

In Ning Pengpeng's heart, he felt that this tulou should be built to the scale of three to four floors.

The height of each floor is about 2.8 meters, in that case, if it is a four-story building, the height of the wall will be more than 10 meters.

The height of ten meters is nothing compared to the height of the capital city of Nanyue.

However, it was enough to deal with the pirates who came ashore.

Unless, these pirates, who come ashore, can get cannons or catapults or anything like that.

Otherwise, before you get close, you will easily be noticed by the inspectors.

When the rain of arrows falls from above, it will definitely make these pirates feel cold.

In addition, this tulou is also divided into an inner circle and an outer circle.

In this way, the required stones, that is, very much.

Now that Liu Hu pulled these stones, Ning Pengpeng still thinks that it is a bit less, and the more the better.

"Old lady, the county magistrate over there took me to the stone mine to see, there are not enough people to dig stones, we want a lot, they don't have time to supply it!"

Hearing Liu Hu's words, Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but miss the modern era of directly blowing up stones with fire.

As long as you blow down those rocks on the mountain, the rest of the work will be much easier, and the speed will be several times faster.

However, this Great Jin Dynasty is still in the era of cold weapons.

If she gets this thing out, I'm afraid it will slow back the course of history by at least a few decades.

Of course, the most important point.

That stone mine does not belong to the Ning family, she got this thing out, and the county magistrate over the stone mine knows such a useful thing, will he be willing to continue to let the people manually chisel stones?

It's not that Ning Pengpeng is selfish, even if he wants to use it, Ning Pengpeng just wants to hold this technology in his own hands.

After all, it's no better than making oyster sauce and other recipes.

After thinking about it, Ning Pengpeng finally pressed down on the matter of researching fire powder.

The speed of the construction of this tulou should be slowed down!

I believe that this group of pirates came ashore and have not returned to the lair for a long time, and the group of pirates in the lair is afraid that they will be in peace for a while.

After all, the person who can be the leader of the pirates is definitely not an ordinary person.

Someone will definitely be sent to investigate the reality of the current Nanyue Mansion City before proceeding to the next step.
