Now that Liu Yunzhai is facing the dilemma that no one is available, only the two of them can work, she thinks that she can consider it.

Li Xiuyuan had long known that Bai Xiahui's writing was different from theirs, and there were numbers, she taught him a lot at that time, and now when he draws, he will also use numbers to record, and feels that numbers are much simpler than the original words.

And it's beautiful.

"This can be considered, but we have to wait for Bai Xia to come back."

"I don't know what happened to her"

Li Xiuyuan sighed, thinking about Bai Xia a little in his heart.

Liu Yunzhai was in ruins, Yu Dahai opened a hundred things workshop in the name of the village, and the first business he did was to collect straw shoes and other woven products.

I also collect wood and stone, and anyway, as long as I can think of anything, I basically collect it.

And after collecting a lot of things, he put the fertilizer out, and Bai Xia gave him the idea at that time, and gave the fertilizer to the villagers on credit in the form of an IOU, so that they could sprinkle the fertilizer, but in ten days, the crops planted were all grown.

Bai Xia got 10,000 catties of grain out at that time, so that he would not die because of the lack of silver.

Now that more and more land has been cleared, they are getting busier and busier.

The number of guards in the village has also expanded from a dozen to a hundred.

Except for the elderly under the age of ten and over fifty who do not need to be trained, the rest of the people in the village have to train in the village every morning to practice basic slashing skills, so although there are only 100 guards in the village, when something really happens, it is all soldiers.

In just a few days, they have even practiced several times how to deal with bandits or refugees attacking them, and now although everyone looks like ordinary peasants on the surface, they are actually soldiers who can be used at any time.

This is only the first step, and Li Xiuyuan still has a lot of plans and arrangements that have not been realized.

For example, build a tofu factory, build a city wall to enclose the entire Liuyun Village, and repair the village and even the road down the mountain.

This has to be done little by little.

To do this, you need people.

It takes many, many people.

But before that, there must be enough food.

"Newspaper"

Just as Li Xiuyuan was thinking about this, a shout suddenly came from outside.

Li Xiuyuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly got up and walked out.

"Report to the owner, we caught a refugee on the mountain road"

"Refugees?"

Li Xiuyuan muttered.

"What about people?"

"Locked up in the cellar at the head of the village"

To put it bluntly, Liu Yunzhai is an old forest in the deep mountains, and the bandits who are usually rumored to eat people in it are going to eat people, even if the refugees can't survive, they generally won't run to the mountains.

So this refugee came a little strangely.

Li Xiuyuan followed the people who came to report and walked towards the east end of the village.

Speaking of this refugee, it was none other than the scout sent by the garrison Baihu to inquire about intelligence, and speaking of him, it was also unlucky.

But said that the mountain road of Liu Yunzhai is narrow, but if you take the right road, you can also go up the mountain, but in order not to be discovered, he specially chose a section of the road next to the cliff, thinking that this road is difficult to walk, there must be few people, and those bandits are easy to ignore, but he didn't expect that this cliff is too difficult to walk, and the bare piece of the cliff is in the middle of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, it was still far from the mountain, but the strange mountain was sharp-eyed, and I guessed in my mind over and over again where someone would go if they wanted to go up the mountain and this person had bad intentions.

Thinking about it, I thought of the cliff halfway up the mountain, and my eyes looked there, it was not dark at this time, and the surrounding scenery was still visible, but it was not so clear.

At first he thought he was dazzled, but then he looked carefully for a while, and finally determined that where was the dazzle, it was clear that there was really something moving.

He immediately grabbed Xu Cheng, who was weaving straw sandals next to him.

"Xu Cheng, take a look, is there something moving there?"

Because of the distance, they couldn't see what was there, so they could only see it moving.

Xu Cheng had just knitted a straw sandal, and he was thinking about changing shifts with Qishan and letting him rest for a while, so he stood up and looked in the direction of Qishan.

Now, good fellow, there is indeed a black thing on the cliff moving in the direction of the stockade.

The two looked at each other.

"You're watching here, I'm going to inform the convoys"

After saying that, Qishan got off the sentry and informed the escort team to go.

Xu Chengla didn't even hold it.

There is only one thing, whether it is clear to anyone or not, so naturally it will not light the fire to report the news.

After the escort team learned the news, they immediately set out, and then at the position where they had just left the cliff, they caught the scouts of the garrison of 100 households.

It's just that the scouts of the garrison are dressed as refugees, although they have doubts about his identity, they don't dare to act rashly, so they immediately reported the news to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan followed the person to the cellar, the person was tied to a wooden stake, the cloth was blocked in his mouth, and he looked at Li Xiuyuan who came in with a frightened face.

"The Owner of the Village"

This time it was the bolt and Li San'er who went out to arrest people, the bolt was the mainstay, and Li San'er was the supplement, and it was the bolt who stayed here at the moment.

After more than ten days of training, the plug has almost been reborn, the whole person is calm and calm, the back is straight, the chin is slightly raised, and the body is full of confidence.

"Have you asked?"

"I asked, I said that I was a refugee from Ganzhou, and it turned out to be a person from Lijia Village, Wu Town, Wu County."

"Oh?" That's not a coincidence.

Li Xiuyuan stepped forward, and the guards holding the lamp put the torch forward a little to illuminate the face of the person who was tied.

Li Xiuyuan stood in place and looked left and right, but he didn't recognize this person.

Among the people in Lijia Village in his impression, there is no such person.

"What's your name?"

Motioning for someone to take off the rag head in his mouth, Li Xiuyuan asked.

"I ...... My name is Li Tieniu" The scout thought of the names of the mining slaves that the hundred households had told him before, and chose one at random.

Li Xiuyuan's face was stunned.

Uncle Tie Niu is the eldest son of the second mother-in-law, and he was arrested when the grain tax was levied.

"Really? I remember that there is no such person as Li Tieniu in Lijia Village."

What he said was naturally false, but when the man heard this, his eyes showed a trace of confusion, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had misremembered?

But soon, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of him and said, "Are you from Lijia Village?" ”

Li Tieniu is from Lijia Village, which is absolutely true, and the little doll in front of him said that there is no such person in Lijia Village, not to mention that what he said is true or false, why did he say that there was no such person as soon as he opened his mouth, instead of asking where Lijia Village was?

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm from Lijia Village"

"Tell me about you, who are you?"

"Don't tell me you're a refugee, we've been on the run for so long, and we've never seen you as a clean and sturdy refugee."

Li Xiuyuan smiled, looking at the man's thick arms and the calluses on his hands.

He seems to have seen similar calluses somewhere.

Just when the scout was racking his brains and thinking about how to make up his life experience, Li Xiuyuan suddenly spoke: "I know, you are the Tushan garrison"
