As for Huang Xiumei, they don't have a place to live yet, so it's not a problem at all.

Xu Kuang still remembers that when his cheap father died, there were more than 2,000 households in Mushroom Ridge, but after the predecessor became the lord, he had no intention of governing, he just wanted to find the truth, and everyone ran away, leaving only more than 200 households.

The houses are all ready-made, so let Huang Xiumei and her family just find a piece to live in, it is not a problem at all.

As for what to do with the group of people who ran back? Let them go and live in someone else's room.

……

After Huang Xiumei received the news, she began to think about where to build a blast furnace.

At this time, Huang Xiumei's eldest daughter Chen Xiaofeng and second daughter Chen Xiaoying pushed the door and walked in.

"Mother, I heard that the lord is going to build a river out tomorrow when he worships the heavens, do you want to go and see it?"

Huang Xiumei raised her head and said with a smile:

"Of course we have to go, we can eat enough with the lord, and of course we have to make up for the excitement of the lord, but you said that he wants to build a river out, you can't hear it wrong, right?"

Chen Xiaoying hurriedly defended:

"No, it was the lord who posted the notice, and Steward Ryan said it himself."

Huang Xiumei opened her mouth, she also couldn't figure out the path of the lord.

People, once they are full, they begin to like to join in the fun, and the news that Xu Kuang is going to build a river spreads throughout the Mushroom Ridge like wings.

The next day, everyone gathered at the highest point of the Mushroom Ridge and gathered next to a deep pit with a diameter of fifty meters.

Xu Kuang stood next to the pit, and he was also a little excited.

He had the altar set up, then turned to the group before him:

"Before sacrificing to the sky, I can't hide things in my heart, I have one thing to tell you, I want to recruit a hundred soldiers, who wants to come?"

Chen Xiaohu and Chen Xiaobao came out of the crowd and shouted in unison:

"I do!".

Xu Kuang shouted:

"Good! The two of you are the second and third, and you will be rewarded with a hundred catties and fifty catties of grain respectively! The top 10 selected will each be rewarded with 20 catties of grain! There are still seven slots, on a first-come, first-served basis, so hurry up to Lane Butler to sign up. ”。

The crowd swarmed around, and soon, Ryan's pamphlets were all written.

Then York, Chen Xiaohu, and Chen Xiaobao followed Xu Kuang and Lane to select soldiers, starting from eyesight, physical fitness, etc., and soon selected 70 soldiers.

"Okay, the rest depends on luck, come to me to draw the ball, draw the red ball as a soldier, draw the white ball and go back to farming."

Everyone rushed to draw the ball, and soon, thirty red balls were drawn, and strangely enough, the red balls were drawn by some poor people.

Chen Xiaohu looked at this situation and felt that his head was really not enough, so he asked:

"My lord, why are you doing this?"

Xu Kuang looked at Chen Xiaohu and smiled meaningfully:

"It's simple, if I take all the strong men away, who will farm the land?".

Chen Xiaohu was thoughtful.

"Mission complete, mission reward has been credited to your storage.".

Xu Kuang had already taken out everything else, and he was not worried that the storage space would be flooded.

Xu Kuang's mind moved, and the scene of storage space appeared in front of him.

Two booklets lie quietly in the storage space, next to three telescopes.

Before he could look at it, he heard the voice of the green flower.

"You already have the breakthrough requirements, do you choose to break through?"

Xu Kuang thought for a moment and chose not to break through.

It's not the first time Xu Kuang has met the breakthrough requirements, he has already met the requirements when he sold the bell for the first time, and he forgot all about it before.

But now is not the time to break through, he still has to build a river out.

Xu Kuang took out the booklet and began to check how to use it.

"[River Book (Meihe Chapter)]

To use this book, you need to prepare three animals of pigs, cattle and sheep, burn incense and bathe, bury the sword in the ground, burn this book in the candle flame, throw it at the source of the river, the ceremony is completed, and the river is revealed. ”。

Xu Kuang saw the method of use, and couldn't help but underestimate:

"What a god's ......".

But then he realized that what he was doing was a god-wrenching thing, and he couldn't help but smile, and he started to do it.

Although the worship here does not burn incense, Xu Kuang has already prepared a bundle of incense, Xu Kuang is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, he uses incense to worship his cheap father.

After the pigs, cattle and sheep were arranged, Xu Kuang began to sacrifice to the sky, he took out the river book, lit a corner, and then threw the river book to the place where the sword was buried.

Xu Kuang stood by the river, staring at the fire quietly, and the others also stretched out their heads to look at Xu Kuang, all wanting to see what the lord was doing.

Suddenly, Xu Kuang saw a spring suddenly appear in the ground, and the spring was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to expand to Xu Kuang's feet.

Xu Kuang ran away.

The crowd facing Xu Kuang's back was stunned, and the group of people who were smiling at Xu Kuang didn't dare to laugh, so they could only watch their lord run away in embarrassment.

More people were shocked, especially Huang Xiumei.

She understands too well what it means for Xu Kuang to create a river, why can't the people survive all these years? It's not because the weather is too dry, but now that there is water, it means that there will be a harvest next year, which means that the wheat can be irrigated in the spring......

Huang Xiumei knelt down directly in the direction of Xu Kuang.

"What a miracle! Your lord has performed miracles! ”。

Everyone knelt down in the direction of Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang looked at this scene and sighed, he knew that there was no god in this world, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and he couldn't say anything.

Xu Kuang began to tell York a few things:

"When the river is stable, the waterwheel will be erected, and all the ditches will be dug before spring, so let's hurry up."

York, too, had just pulled himself out of the scene, and he nodded a little dazedly.

Xu Kuang was very satisfied with the effect of the river, and he turned his head to look at Ryan:

"From tomorrow, get ready to receive refugees, we have water, and there will be a lot of people coming to us."

Ryan took out a pen and paper and carefully memorized everything Xu Kuang explained.

"Young master, but we suddenly have a river, there must be a lot of people thinking about it."

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"It's okay, we have soldiers.".

Ryan didn't say anything, just nodded.

Xu Kuang called Chen Xiaohu again, handed the soldier's basic training manual into his hand, and asked:

"Is it literate?".

Chen Xiaohu nodded.

"Then practice according to the above method."

Xu Kuang took a look, and what was recorded on it was the military training method of the Great Xia Kingdom in the eighties of the twentieth century. Xu Kuang remembers very well that the soldiers at that time were ridiculed by later netizens as "sanctification of the flesh" and "the strongest individual soldier king on the surface", which shows the strength of this training method.

Xu Kuang saw Huang Xiumei again:

"The day after tomorrow to start building a blast furnace, the materials are ready-made, two hundred people estimate that it only takes a day or two to build a blast furnace, Xiaolong will have to leave tomorrow, I will give him twenty sets of mule carts, the materials for iron smelting can not be broken. Still have questions? ”。

Huang Xiumei nodded, and he said to Xu Kuang:

"Well, I can't understand this iron-making furnace, why is it built so high?".
