The smoke is curling, and it is dusk-

The area around the desolate and dilapidated Rock Fort in the past is now a densely populated and untouched place.

To the north of the city is Qingfeng Mountain, the mountain is steep, and it is surrounded by a large area of dense forest, the wood is high and the forest is deep, and the ordinary people dare not enter. This large forest has been extending more than ten miles to the north, covering a large hilly terrain to the north of Panshi Fort, forming a large forest sea, which has been connected with the mountain forest to the west of Anxiangdun. Further north, it can even stretch into the Great Green Mountain.

The three directions of the east, west and south of Panshibao are all large fields, especially the banks of the Huanshui River in the south and the Ganhe River in the east, close to the big river, rich in water, suitable for irrigation, and fertile land. As long as there is a powerful person who can lead the people to dig irrigation canals and build water conservancy, it is enough to turn this large area of potential irrigated land into a land of fish and rice in northern Shanxi. Not to mention Dong Ce, this errand Li Gui is enough to be promoted.

However, it is still too early to talk about the reclamation of land on both sides of the river, there are too few people at present, only 291 households, and even the land west of the north and Ganhe rivers has not been reclaimed, and only about 30% of this small area has been reclaimed.

But at this point, it's almost the limit. This shows that the land around the Rock Fort is vast and fertile.

The neat ridges divide the ground into pieces, and if you look at it from a high altitude, it looks like a grid on a chessboard, with longitude and latitude, which is very beautiful. It's a pity that it is the middle of winter at this time, if it is spring, the wheat seedlings are pine green, and in the middle of summer, the wheat waves are rolling, and it is the most abundant scenery.

In this strange land, there are patches of settlements, which look like a few small villages are located.

The settlement is divided into three parts, which are divided according to the three guarantees. There are a total of 291 households, divided into three guarantees and 29 A, the first is 100 households, the second is 100 households, and the third is 91 households. In order to facilitate the practice of the chief and the chief of A, a bao is a village, gathered together, and the subordinates of the bao, these smaller grassroots units, also live together.

The people who are assigned to a A and a protector are destined to be much closer than others. They live together, which is not only convenient for management, but also easy to enhance the relationship, and the neighbors help each other. According to the development trajectory of the countryside under China's feudal system, if nothing else, they will always live in the village, for more than ten generations, dozens of generations, until their children and grandchildren multiply, each of them develops into a big family. But these people, these households, will still live together, in the same village.

They are neighbors now, and they will be neighbors for thousands of years.

Of these three settlements, the best settlement is undoubtedly the westernmost part of the settlement in the middle to the east, because it is close to the Dongguan Canal.

Both sides of Dongguan Canal are good fertile fields, and living closer to here means that they are closer to their own fields, and it is easier to work in the future. Moreover, not far from the west of Dongguan Canal is the official road leading directly to the south gate, and the traffic is convenient.

So this is the best location around. However, this is also what I realized later, when the displaced people first came, they directly arranged to let them live wherever they wanted, and they had no choice there, and they didn't care about this at the time. Later, when I settled down and the days went by, I felt good and bad.

To the east of Dongguan Canal, there is a small hilly land, which is said to be a hill, but in fact it is only seven or eight dirt bags, each of which is about three or four zhang square, but six or seven feet high, and the slope is very gentle.

Here, inhabited by the first and ninth armor. Ten households, twenty-seven people.

They are all from homeless backgrounds.

It was covered by a block of houses, most of which were made of adobe thatched wood, and were very shabby and crooked, so that at a glance it was clear that they should have built it themselves, rather than the masons of the countryside who had been hired to make such a living. Not only at this time, but also in later generations, hundreds of years later, there will still be such a group of people in the villages on this land, who usually work in the fields, but also build houses with one hand. When the farm is not working, I go out to earn some extra money, because of this skill, I always live more comfortably than others.

The group walked this way from the direction of the south city gate, bypassed the livestock farm, and came to the front of their own house. This is a group of about 20 people, of whom there are almost half men and half women, ranging from seventeen or eighteen to thirty-seven or eighteen, but there are few more than forty. There were also five or six half-grown children, mostly boys.

Unlike traditional Chinese rural families, the number of families of these former homeless people under the rule of Panshibao is relatively small, basically there are two or three people in a household, and four people are rare, and there are many singles in one household. When Gain's family fled, the last people who survived were basically young men and women who were the main laborers at home, while the elderly and children had a hard time surviving. The old man is not in good health, and as for the children, the Chinese people pay attention to filial piety, so naturally they can't eat their parents, but advocate cutting their own flesh for their parents to eat. If you are very hungry, then you will naturally start eating children. I was reluctant to eat myself, so I had to exchange them for food, but in the end, I killed and ate after all. Boys are going to inherit the lineage, and they are reluctant to eat, so girls have no scruples, and girls are relatively tender and more delicious.

So now the remaining half-grown children and children are basically men.

As for the military households who moved from Shilipu, they were not among them, and they were all dragged with their families, a large family.

However, there is nothing wrong with the health of the displaced people, on the contrary, anyone who can survive is in good health and has a good foundation. With such a safe haven as Rock Fort, well-fed, warmly dressed, and well-slept, there is hope for life, and in a few years, the population will surely double.

The group of people was almost all dressed in the same way, wearing a large gray-black cotton jacket on the top, gray-black cotton pants on the bottom, and gray-black cotton shoes on the bottom, looking like the dark night of this winter day is coming. The female is a uniform blue tone, and the padded jacket on her body is bloated and fat, which does not show her background, but in the severe cold of minus 20 degrees, it represents absolute warmth and the guarantee of survival. After a day's work, the padded jackets on their bodies were dirty, but everyone's faces and hands were absolutely clean, and even the dirt in the direct seams was cleaned clean. And their hair, both men and women, is also quite smooth, apparently washed frequently.

In these days, that's rare.

They were tall and short, but they were mostly ruddy-complexion—except for those who were too dark—and their bodies were strong, and their yellow-faced muscles were not present here.

In these days, this is also rare.

All in all, they look very comfortable.

They came to a stand in front of an empty mound, and a strong man in his thirties walked up to the crowd, and he walked up to the mound, making himself taller than the others.

He raised his right arm high and shouted: "Our current days, there is white rice at a time, and the belly is round that can be eaten, is it a good life?" ”

The crowd shouted in unison, "Good! ”

"Who gave us a reward on this day?"

"Master Dong!"

"How should we thank Master Dong?"

"Honestly pay food, actively serve, smear the liver and brain of Master Dong, and repay the death force! What Master Dong said was remembered in his heart, and what Master Dong asked him to do, he did it honestly and didn't dare to be lazy. Master Dong is a Buddha of ten thousand families, we want to worship the tablet of Lord Dong at home, worship every day, incense is endless, I wish Lord Dong a prosperous martial arts, and the prince of Wandai! ”

Every time the chief asked a question, everyone shouted in unison in reply, and they answered quickly and neatly, and there were no typos, obviously, given the level of education and discipline of the people at this time, it was not easy to achieve this.

As you can imagine, this kind of Q&A conversation must have been done many times, and it is possible that they have been specifically trained.

And at this time, not only here, but also in the entire Rock Castle, all the places of residence, echoing with such a voice. Everyone was loudly praising and praising Dong Ce, the great benefactor who brought them a good life, pious or unreligious.

But in any case, they will eventually turn into religious. If you tell a lie a thousand times, you will take it seriously, this is not speculation or exaggeration, but a fact that conforms to the laws of the human spirit, in fact, constantly repeating a lie is a process of self-brainwashing. Sooner or later, they will be convinced of what is said above and regard Dong Ce as a god.

This was not brought up by Dong Ce, but once he accidentally mentioned it, but on the second day, Zhang Han wrote a note to him, and Dong Ce also adopted it. The dialogue is very realistic, the language is very popular, and it is easy for people to remember and understand.

It has almost been implemented for about ten days, and the people are very familiar with it, and the effect of all aspects is still good. Because of this, Dong Ce attaches a little more importance to Zhang Han. "Okay, it's over today, go back to your own home, and eat and sleep." The strong man waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow in the middle of the morning (six o'clock in the morning) to gather here, don't miss the hour." Most of the three barracks we are responsible for have been built, and they will be good in two days, and at this time, no one should drag them down. Master Li Guili has spoken, who is in charge of the first to finish it, and each household will be given a pound of white noodles and three taels of pork! It's almost the New Year, and you can eat pork dumplings, if you want me to say, this day is unimaginable before! ”
