Chapter Ninety-Four: The Craftsman

The northbound people were quickly assembled.

The so-called family members are nothing more than some old and weak women and children, as well as the disabled old soldiers of the beggar army, gray-haired, more than 1,300 people, sitting on dozens of big donkey carts and slowly heading north.

The donkey cart was covered with thick hay and a lot of briquettes were carried in case the temperature plummeted.

However, there was not much frustration on their faces, and when they heard that they had gone to Guangzong, they were quite happy.

Guangzong is the base camp of the beggar army, with plenty of money and food, and there is no need to starve and freeze.

In comparison, it is precarious on Black Cloud Mountain.

"Old brothers, if you go to Guangzong, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking." Bo Wu stirred people's hearts.

"Haha, several nephews of my family are in Guangzong, and I don't know what happened, now in the past, we just happened to get together."

"My wife and children were separated in Hebei back then, and I don't know if I can find them."

Most people didn't know the game and calculations, and they didn't have to worry about their lives, so they happily went.

What Li Nong wants is also the attitude of Heiyun Mountain.

Now that Bo Wu has gone with his family, there is no need for tension between the two sides.

"Mr. Chang is really good." Li Yue looked at the person who was gradually moving away and said expressionlessly.

Chang Wei changed into a rattan hat and leather at this moment, "The big husband can bend and stretch, and he can't be confined to small sections, Han Xin has the humiliation of his crotch, Zhang Liang has the shame of picking up his shoes, if the owner of the village has great ambitions, he can't be blindly strong, there is a word under him, I don't know if the owner of the village is willing to listen?" ”

"Sir, please."

"It's a short year, it's two years, there will be chaos in Yecheng, the owner of the village is ambitious, but he can't show his head too early, the thin leader is here, Heiyun Mountain has a close connection with Guangzong, it's not a bad thing, this is already the best solution I can think of."

Although it was sent by Li Nong, Li Yue felt that he seemed to be a little inclined to himself.

Looking back, Bo Wu's trip to Guangzong is the best solution to pave the way for the future.

And Bo Wu kept the only blood and bone for himself, and he was also reassuring his own heart.

Li Yue took a deep breath, "Thank you, sir." ”

Chang Wei arched his hand and said: "Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the blood flows like the sea, the dry bones are like a mountain, the jackals are in charge, the wild dogs are rampant, the master of the village has excellent medical skills, and there are countless living people, this is a great merit. ”

Behind everyone's actions is their own motivation.

"Yue will do his best!"

"Farewell." After saying this, he went down the mountain with his attendants.

Looking at his back as he descended the mountain, Li Yue suddenly felt that this world was not full of wolves and wild dogs, but there were still many people with a heart for the common people.

Such people are also objects of unity.

It's a pity that the strength is too weak now.

Shi Tao's two envoys hurriedly came, no longer hiding their malice, "Today's matter, Duke Qin will be rewarded one day!" ”

Li Yue glanced at the two of them, not bothering to pay attention to the two wild dogs, "Oh? We'll see. ”

"Farewell!" The two went away angrily.

Heavy snow was followed by two light snowfalls, but it was no longer as cold.

Zhou Qian came to report on Hu Cao's progress, "According to rough statistics, there are 6,800 households in Heiyun Mountain, more than 30,000 mouths, and more than 7,500 Ding Zhuang, and the detailed number of people will take two months to complete, and Xuanyuan Mountain has not made statistics." ”

Li Yue flipped over a few household boards.

The words on it are crooked, unspeakably ugly, but still recognizable.

Most of the names are Wang Aqi, Liu Shiyi, Yang Gou, Zhao Feng and the like.

Zhou Lian was ashamed and said: "Things are in a hurry, many people don't have big names, and they should be distinguished by numbers by their subordinates." ”

Ordinary people don't care about names at all, and many people in history changed their names only after they mixed up.

"It's a great strategy to follow the power in a hurry." Time is tight, the task is heavy, and you can only use your brain.

"When I was compiling the household, my subordinates found more than 50 craftsmen, and now there is an iron mine, and the craftsmen are just doing it!"

"And such a good thing?" Li Yue was overjoyed.

Among the homeless people, there were already a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there were all kinds of people, farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, soldiers, servants, and so on.

A few dozen craftsmen is not much, compared to a population of thirty or forty thousand, it is somewhat insufficient.

"These people were hiding at first, but when they saw that the people on the mountain were stable, they let down their guard."

"Don't blame them." Li Yue said with a smile.

Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts, if they fight and kill all day long on Heiyun Mountain, who dares to come out?

The best place of refuge in the hearts of most displaced people is Jiangdong, not a village of bandits.

If you want others to contribute, first of all, the mountain must be able to make people feel at ease.

Before the Facao was set up, everyone on the mountain was in danger.

"This is not enough, anyone who has a skill can become a famous craftsman, and no one will compensate for an extra twenty catties of food every month."

People in these years always like to keep a hand, and only a few dozen craftsmen of 30,000 people can't say it.

Productivity is combat effectiveness.

Any technological improvement in weapons and agricultural tools will increase productivity.

Li Yue also counted on building trebuchets, bed crossbows, iron armor, and so on.

Twenty catties of grain were given more every month, and the temptation was great, and there were quite a few applicants.

There are more than 20 blacksmiths alone, and there are more than 200 carpenters, stonemasons, leathermen, gelders, tailors, butchers, etc., and there are also people who are good at weaving straw mats, straw clothes, straw shoes, people who can herd, people who can raise fish, and so on.

Li Yue did not dislike it, and divided people into four categories: iron, wood, skin, and miscellaneous.

As long as there is a skill, they will be given a name to encourage their enthusiasm for production.

In each category, one of the relatively skilled people is the main task, and while the winter is used, an apprentice is recruited, and one person is taught, and another five catties of grain are added every month.

Immediately the mountain was in full swing, and the stonemasons expanded the forges, and the carpenters and cobblers built the barricades.

Of all the craftsmen, the blacksmith is the busiest, and the smelting is secondary, and the key is hammering, which requires hundreds or thousands of swings of the hammer, and it is difficult for an inexperienced person to successfully craft the required iron tools.

In the past, the forging was made of hammers, bones, maces, etc., but now I want to make armor, arrows, and swords, which is a great test of the level of craftsmen.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang Taishou Du Shi invented the water drain, using hydraulic blast to smelt iron, which greatly improved the smelting technology, greatly increased the output, and improved the quality a lot.

Throughout the Han Dynasty, great importance was placed on technological development.

The government's iron monopoly paved the way for the great development of technology.

However, with the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms War, the Great Plague, the Wuhu Chaos and other natural and man-made disasters, the Nanyang Iron Workshop has long been in decline, and many technologies have also been lost.

There are no such conditions on the mountain for the time being, and no one will make water drains, and there are certain requirements for materials and site selection, and this kind of high-tech is generally in the hands of the scholars.

In the short term, Heiyun Mountain is difficult to replicate.

You can only solve the problem of having and not having first, and then slowly improve it.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it is not difficult at the beginning, and it is a process where practice makes perfect.

Li Yue gave them enough time, the things were not made, they were re-smelted, and there was no punishment, and experience would always be accumulated.

Before building weapons, Li Yue first asked them to build a batch of farm tools to practice their hands and prepare for spring ploughing.
