There is a village built by refugees in the mountains near Xiacun mining farm, and it looks like a bandit. This news alarmed Zhang Hua.

The sixth-level iron ore near Xiacun is the source of raw materials for the production of agricultural tools and weapons, and cannot be missed.

Zhang Hua took the initiative to summon the refugee leader who had newly joined Xia Village to learn about the situation in the northern mountains.

To the north of Xia Village is the northern mountain range of the river valley, stretching for hundreds of miles.

There are also refugees in the mountains and forests. These refugees gather together to form a village.

The refugee leader had rough hands, but he was not a farmer: "The refugee who attacked us was known as the subordinates of the Great General Huang Chao. But according to the following, most of these people were just farmers."

“How many of them are there?”

"Including the elderly, young, women and children, there are about 300 people. Although the number is not large, there are 40 oxen. These people are still 20 oxen that have been taken away by them. If the adults subdue this group of refugees, they can obtain 60 oxen and 300 people."

The refugee leader had the intention of instigating Zhang Hua to send troops in his words.

Zhang Hua looked at this person with a strange look.

It’s not that Zhang Hua thought the other party was telling a lie, but that this person answered it smoothly, and was definitely not a simple refugee.

Those who can stand out in troubled times and lead a group of refugees will not be ordinary people.

"Will you have a job before that?"

Zhang Hua stared at the refugee leader tightly, trying to determine whether the other party was lying through the other party's expression changes.

The refugee leader replied truthfully: "The villain is named Kuai Xiang, and he was a carpenter who served the imperial court during the Yongle period. Many of the refugees I led were also carpenters."

The imperial carpenter?!

Zhang Hua was shocked.

The imperial carpenter usually inherits his father's business, representing the highest woodworking skills in ancient China!

Moreover, this refugee Kuai Xiang was not only alone, but also brought more than a dozen carpenters and their families.

There are more and more buildings in Xia Village, and more and more carpenters are needed.

The role of a high-level carpenter is to build buildings faster, build buildings with higher durability and better shape.

The buildings needed by the village are almost the same as ordinary carpenters and stonemasons.

However, to build high-end buildings or complexes such as Zhaozhou Bridge, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Forbidden City, then senior carpenters and senior stonemasons are required.

The carpenter Kuai Xiang in front of him is probably a senior carpenter, and the dozen carpenters he brought are also senior carpenters.

Zhang Hua suppressed his excitement and asked calmly: "I wonder if you are willing to settle in Xia Village?"

Kuai Xiang sighed: "We are so grateful that sir can take us in. How can we have other extravagant hopes?"

It's done!

"In the future, I will have to worry about all kinds of buildings in the village."

"You are polite. We carpenters make a living by carpenters. If we go to farm, we will waste our skills."

"If you have any difficulties, come to me."

Zhang Hua comforted him again and asked someone to prepare a residence for the group of carpenters.

Kuai Xiang is the leader of a carpenter. As long as Zhang Hua wins over Kuai Xiang, it is equivalent to winning over a whole group of carpenters.

After Kuai Xiang brought a group of carpenters to Xia Village, Zhang Hua actually saw another historical hero entering the territory panel.

"Is Kuai Xiang a big shot?"

Zhang Hua saw Kuai Xiang's name among the historical heroes who settled in Xia Village.

【Hero】: Kuai Xiang

【Occupation】: Carpenter

[Commander]: 61 [Military power]: 50 [Intellect]: 83 [Politics]: 79

【Health volume】: 50

【Attack】: 5~7

【Defense】: 1

【Agility】: 5

[Awakening Talent]: Architecture (Kuai Xiang is proficient in scale calculation, has superb tenon and rivet skills, the location, distance, size and design drawings of the building are exactly the same, greatly shortening the construction time, and has the ability to preside over advanced construction projects)

[Article]: The Ming Dynasty architect, a master of carpenters in Xiangshan Gang, Jiangnan, was the Minister of Works, and was in charge of the construction of the Ming Dynasty Palace, the three front halls, Changling, Xianling, Longfu Temple, Xiyuan and other buildings.

Zhang Hua was shocked after seeing Kuai Xiang's awakening talent and origin.

Zhang Hua had never heard of Kuai Xiang's name, but Kuai Xiang was indeed a great man. He was a carpenter during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and served as the Minister of Works.

The Minister of Works, a third-rank official, and a carpenter who is capable of holding this position will not be a simple person.

It is a bit useless for big names like Kuai Xiang to build primary buildings.

All the carpenters brought by Kuai Xiang were imperial carpenters from the Yongle period, and there were Kuai Xiang's apprentices.

"Lady Liu, in the future, he used Kuai Xiang and others to build buildings. They were the imperial carpenters in the Yongle period."

Zhang Hua recruited Liu Xiucai and asked Liu Xiucai to reuse the carpenters like Kuai Xiang.

Liu Qisu's eyes widened.

In the year of Yongle, it is the year name of Emperor Zhu Di!

Zhu Di's imperial carpenter actually came to Xia Village and could make them work at a low price. It was simply too beautiful.

Kuai Xiang and his group of carpenters will have a role to play even if Xia Village develops into a city.

"I'll arrange errands for them now."

Liu Qisu showed a sinister smile. These imperial carpenters were idle without having to, so they must squeeze them out.

"Mulan, you bring a team of cavalry to follow me into the mountains and move away refugees who threaten the iron ore."

Zhang Hua thought for a while and finally decided to take Mulan and a team of cavalry to the northern mountains to clear out refugees who threatened the iron ore.

This group of refugees was suspected to be subordinates of Huang Chao, the leader of the peasant uprising army in the late Tang Dynasty.

Huang Chao was not very famous in later generations, but after he failed, he wrote a poem "The Untitled Fu Ju" that was passed down to later generations.

When autumn comes, September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after the flowers bloom.

The fragrance array soars into Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor.

Later, the peasant uprising army led by Huang Chao really captured Chang'an and killed it happily.

Facts have proved that you must not provoke candidates who fail the exam, especially those who have great ambitions.

If Huang Chao's subordinates are allowed to develop in the mountains, it may pose a threat to Xiacun in the future.

The threat must be erased in the bud.

Mulan summoned almost 30 light cavalry and went to the mining site with Zhang Hua.

According to what Kuai Xiang said, Huang Chao's subordinates did not have decent military generals, and they were probably just a group of peasants who joined the Huang Chao's uprising army.

Mulan, plus thirty light cavalry, was enough to suppress 300 refugees.

Between the mountains in the north, three hundred refugees from the Huang Chao Uprising Army robbed the village established by Kuai Xiang and others of the Ming Dynasty's imperial carpenters.

When Zhang Hua and Mulan brought thirty light cavalry and twenty miners appeared in front of this mountain village, frightening the refugees.

These refugees gathered at the entrance of the village, holding spears, hoes and other iron tools, and confronted Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua glanced over and there was indeed no figure at the level of a general.

"Everyone, there are not many arable lands in this mountain, so it is better to move south to the plains."

"What if we don't follow?"

"I, Zhang Hua, have always convinced others with reason and treated others with sincerity."
