Chapter 14: I'm in charge
"Huh? What does it mean to sell cute? Chen Shuozhen held the reins and rode his horse to hurry, and Zhou Shaoyu, who was sitting comfortably on her, listened to him say that it was said to be more than a thousand years later, and at the same time felt surprised and at the same time there were many words that he couldn't understand.
"Sell cute, how can you say it?" Zhou Shaoyu leaned on Chen Shuozhen's body, not to mention how comfortable it was, and he didn't move lazily. After thinking about it, he turned his head, winked at Chen Shuozhen, and said innocently.
"Big sister, what's on my back, it's soft, is it a meat bun? Sister, I'm hungry, why don't you take it out and give it to me? ”
Burst...... Chen Shuozhen was instantly dumbfounded, and wanted to have a seizure of shame, but seeing his innocent appearance, he couldn't get up, and he was embarrassed, so he saw Zhou Shaoyu leaning comfortably on her again and said lazily.
"Mmmm.,That's probably what selling cuteness looks like.,Innocent, cute, or something."
The contrast between before and after is too great, the last moment he was still innocent and baby-like, and the next moment he was so inflated, Chen Shuo really felt that his feelings had been deceived, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Lang, my fingers are suddenly a little itchy, where do you say to pinch you to stop itching?" ”
"Ouch, ouch! Lady, spare your life, spare your life......"
The next day, Qilin Mountain, the four tigers of the Zhou family, Zhou Shaoyu and Chen Shuozhen all gathered here.
"Shaoyu, let's move all the belongings, this place is really good, you say, what should we do next." Zhou Dashan asked.
"Simple, cut down trees!" Zhou Shaoyu's words were amazing.
"What's that? Eldest nephew, aren't we the king of the mountain, how did it become a tree cutdown? Thursday Shan was dumbfounded when he heard this, what is the situation.
"Fourth, don't interject, listen to our eldest nephew continue." Tuesday Shan said with a straight face.
"That's it, our eldest nephew must have a reason for saying this, come to the eldest nephew, you continue." Wednesday Hill also chimed in.
"Ahem, we can't sleep on the ground, cutting trees can not only clear out an open place, but also build a house, why not, I've already seen it, if the top of this mountain is completely cleaned up and built a house, I'm afraid that thousands of people will live down, but it is impossible to build all houses, to free up some space to grow vegetables and fruits, raise some livestock, and get a vacant land out for training, as for Qinglong Mountain, Baihu Mountain and Xuanwu Mountain, there is no need to rush to develop."
Zhou Shaoyu said, took out a folded piece of paper and spread it out, and continued: "You see, this is the sketch I have drawn, and it is also the future appearance of our cottage. ”
Everyone took a look, and exclaimed continuously, those houses are scattered, although they are not neatly corrected, but they are unique, especially the mansion closest to Xuanwu Mountain, it feels spectacular at a glance. On the periphery, there are as many as three layers of city wall arches.
However, the four tigers of the Zhou family can't see it, it doesn't mean that Chen Shuo really can't see it, although those small wooden houses are located a little messy, but if a strong enemy attacks, they will be forced to disperse into small units due to the terrain, which is conducive to defense, and the mansion, needless to say, if it is a strong attack, it will not be able to attack at all without losing some manpower.
In fact, if there are people from later generations who also travel here at this moment, they will find that this thing painted by Zhou Shaoyu is so similar to the castle tower of a certain island country.
In fact, Zhou Shaoyu also has his own considerations in this regard, in ancient China, cities were basically built on flat land, and almost no big cities were built on the top of the mountain.
And what about island nations? The daimyo liked to do the most was to choose a mountain and put up several wooden or stone defensive walls, called Nimaru Sanmaru and Shimaru, and the most central castle was the Honmaru, in which the daimyo lived.
In all fairness, in the era of cold weapons, such a structure is indeed quite conducive to defense, so Zhou Shaoyu naturally borrowed it unceremoniously and took it out with a slight modification.
"Although it may take us a long time to develop this appearance to reach this standard, we have a bottom in our hearts, as long as we continue to do it step by step, sooner or later we will become like this." Zhou Shaoyu cheered up.
"Okay, good, our Shaoyu is smart." The four tigers of the Zhou family nodded very satisfied, if it really became like that, there were thousands of people to defend, even if the officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed, if they chose to attack, such a posture would not be able to defeat tens of thousands of people. But now there are only a few troops in the entire Tanzhou, which is simply solid.
"Well, the cottage is over, let's talk about absorbing the population." Zhou Shaoyu immediately started the next topic. "No one, no matter how good we are, we can't develop, but we can't accept everything! First of all, we only accepted 100 people, mainly women and children, as well as middle-aged people who dragged their families and old people with craftsmanship. ”
"And why is that?" This will not only be incomprehensible to the four tigers of the Zhou family, but even Chen Shuozhen can't understand it, isn't it generally young and strong to establish a cottage to occupy the mountain as the king. Women, children, and old people, how can these people fight with people with swords? And the young man who dragged his family with his mouth, because he was concerned, was naturally reluctant to sell his life.
"It's very simple, it's development!" Zhou Shaoyu said solemnly. "What if all these 100 people are replaced by young and strong? How long will it take to train to beat the hundreds of soldiers in the city? ”
"Women can do farm work, will be women's red, equal to the logistics of this piece of security, children can be cultivated and grown, representing the future, not to mention the old people with craftsmanship, that are all treasures, experienced, and these three kinds of people preach out, on behalf of our benevolence and righteousness, as long as they enter the cottage, we will protect them, not starving or freezing, those displaced people who have no way to live heard, An can not come over one after another? In the early stage of the development of the cottage, if it is stable and stable, refuse any thorns, we are long-term development, rather than summoning a group of ruffians and hooligans to get by. It can even be said that even if the government knows, when they see us living honestly, they may not bother to come all the way to take care of us. ”
"Well said!" Chen Shuozhen was amazed.
In short, the matter is settled, this year, even in a small Wu County, there are too many people who can't eat, only a hundred people, it is easy to summon, not to mention that Chen Shuozhen still has a skill to drum.
However, as Zhou Shaoyu said, in the early stage of development, stability was the main thing, and the thorns and people with improper minds were eliminated as much as possible, so even if it was only a hundred people, Zhou Shaoyu and Chen Shuozhen spent ten days to observe before they determined the candidates one by one and took them away.
Location, Kirin Mountain. Time, evening.
In ten days, the four tigers of the Zhou family plus the people who joined the cottage intermittently were enough to clear out a vacant land, in order to facilitate the speech, Zhou Shaoyu also specially asked people to build a simple platform, Zhou Shaoyu stood on the stage, Chen Shuozhen stood aside, and the four tigers of the Zhou family took care of the discipline of the hundred people below.
Among the 100 people, 53 were women, 21 were children under the age of 14, 25 were men over the age of 14, and only one was an old man, who was born as a carpenter.
"Maybe you once had a happy family, with a husband, a wife, parents, and children, maybe your life was not rich, but you lived a peaceful and stable life, but why, why can't you even continue your life now? Heaven is unfair, natural disaster! Man-made disaster! Not only does the government not care, but even taxes are still paid, forcing us to death! ”
"The family is broken, the wife is separated, and even the most basic food and clothing can't be solved, so I can only survive one day at a time and live a life that is not as good as a dog! You are sad, you are desperate! You suppress the sorrow and anger in your hearts! ”
Zhou Shaoyu was frustrated, and what he said was very emotional, and the people below felt hurt when they thought of what they had experienced.
"But then everything is over, what about natural disasters, what about man-made disasters? The government doesn't care? I'll take care of it! From today on, we are a big family, and I, Zhou Shaoyu, swear here, that if I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry. But! I will not raise idlers in vain, and everyone must contribute to the construction of our common home. ”
"You weave cloth, I plough the land, he builds houses, everyone has a role, the suffering of the past will eventually pass, and what will greet us will be a better tomorrow!"
