An Ran heard about this and quickly built fortifications at the entrance of the village.

Even if the large army will not come, there are probably small groups of refugees. Just this, she has to defend herself to prevent the villagers from suffering losses. Since she has collected the protection fees from the villagers, she naturally has to protect them.

To.

In the case of harassment by small groups of refugees, it would be impossible to prevent them just by patrolling every day, so we simply built fortifications to prevent those people from entering.

As for how to build fortifications, Enron, who has military experience in many worlds, is naturally familiar with it.

There are also manpower - more than a hundred people from the patrol team went into battle, and the simple fortifications were built within two days.

This simple fortification can naturally only defend against small groups of refugees, not large groups. However, she does not need to defend large groups. If she is really worried, she can continue to reinforce them in the future.

With the fortifications in place, the refugees who came to Taiping Village were indeed blocked. Of course, the main reason is that Taiping Village has a geographical advantage - it is surrounded by mountains, with higher mountains on three sides. Although there are small trails passing through, it is difficult to cross the mountains and ridges to get in from the outside.

It is not easy; although the other side is better, it is the road that villagers take more often to leave the village, but it also has to go over mountains and ridges, and it is not a flat road. In this way, building a fortification in this better place is basically

We can prevent most of the refugees. If we send a small number of people to patrol the other three intersections, basically no refugees can come in. After all, it is not easy to come from the road or the mountains. It is deep in the mountains and forests, and the bushes are deep.

, can’t get out at all.

The refugees couldn't get in, so they would take detours, but there were also some who saw that Taiping Village was well-defended and felt that they would be safe if they settled there, so they asked to be taken in. An Ran would occasionally take in some - mostly those with family members.

Generally speaking, people like this are mostly people with good character. After all, they have become refugees, and they also bring the young and old at home with them. This shows that the family has good character and has not left the young and old behind.

An Ran generally does not accept refugees who are only young and strong men. This kind of people are either sent by an army of refugees to check on them, or they are of poor character and only focus on their own escape, leaving behind the old, weak, women and children at home.

Because of the intake of people, the patrol team has expanded a lot, and now the entire patrol team has 200 people.

With the increase in the number of people and the completion of fortifications, it is now difficult for patrols to catch the theft gangs. As a result, income has stopped but expenses have increased. Chen Lizheng can't help but worry about Enron's expenses.

"You are taking in more and more people. Those refugees have nothing to eat. Some of them don't even have money. They just rely on joining your patrol team to earn some money to buy food. But you have no income now. You will not be able to pay by then."

If they have no money to support their expenses, they will starve to death. I am afraid they will cause trouble. So, should we remove them from the village and let them live outside our village? Otherwise, it will be dangerous to our village.

Ah."

An Ran said: "Don't worry, it's getting more and more chaotic outside. Are you worried that you won't make any money?"

Chen Lizheng said in confusion: "How to make money?"

An Ran smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Chen Li was really curious, but seeing that An Ran refused to say anything, there was nothing he could do, so he could only wait patiently.

But soon, he knew.

But he said that as Kyoto was breached, the outside world became more and more chaotic, and soon there were bandit troops coming to the city in Taiping County. The county magistrate was so anxious that he had blisters on his lips and wanted to abandon the city and run away. Fortunately, he held back at the last moment.

Because the county captain told him that these bandit soldiers were not too powerful and they could try to defend them for a while. After all, if the bandit soldiers came and fled, and the court pursued them, the future of the county magistrate would be gone.

Although Kyoto has been captured and the imperial court has been displaced, who knows what will happen in the future. If the imperial court rises again, it will be troublesome to hold them accountable for their faults.

The county magistrate also knew that this was indeed the case. He thought that if he ran away like this and lost his future after working so hard to get the honors, it would be a great loss, so he listened to the county captain and prepared to stay for a while.

Of course, it was mainly the county captain who said that there were capable people in their county who could defend it.

After the county magistrate had no intention of running away, he asked the county captain, "I wonder who the capable person Mr. Li is talking about is?"

"Your Excellency, you have forgotten that in our county, there is a female tiger hunter who is born with supernatural powers. I heard that since the civil unrest, she has set up a patrol team in Taiping Village to protect the countryside. She is quite impressive. Your Excellency, you might as well tell her about it.

If she invites us here, and with the brave soldiers in our county, we may be able to defend the city."

Lieutenant Li was responsible for public security in the county. An Ran had sold wild boars and even tigers in the county several times. Lieutenant Li naturally heard about it, so he mentioned it to the county magistrate.

A little girl actually killed a tiger. This would usually become big news in the local area. Li County Lieutenant had heard about it, and Zhang Zhixian had also heard about it. After hearing what Li County Lieutenant said, he nodded.

The head said: "I've heard about it, I've heard about it. You're right. With such capable people in this county, why should we be afraid of bandit soldiers?"

Not to mention anything else, even if the little girl doesn't know how to arrange troops and dispatch troops, she can just go out and punch the opponent's leader to death, which is still a good thing.

So he immediately asked Li County Lieutenant to invite An Ran to come out, and told him that Li County Lieutenant must go and invite him, and don't order a servant to call the person, so as not to make the other party feel that they are not sincere, and don't be unwilling to come out, and just treat the talented people.

You should be sincere, so why not imitate Liu Huangshu and visit the thatched cottage three times? You can also gain a reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal.

As for whether he is afraid that An Ran will seize his county seat... Zhang Zhixian has no such idea at all. In his thinking, just like Chen Lizheng, he does not think that a woman can occupy the county seat. Of course, he is not afraid of a little girl, so he is relieved.

He boldly asked Li County Lieutenant to invite someone, but if the person was a seven-foot-tall man, he would not dare to invite someone, for fear of attracting a wolf into the house.

Lieutenant Li Xian promised not to mention it.

When Lieutenant Li came to Taiping Village and saw the fortifications at the intersection of Taiping Village, he was somewhat knowledgeable. Unlike the villagers in Taiping Village who couldn't see the entrance, he could see that the fortifications looked decent and couldn't help but secretly marveled.

, thinking about it, it seems that this girl from Taiping Village is quite capable.

Immediately, he reported his home to the guards on the fortifications, and then directly said that he wanted to see their captain, Gu Wufu.

I heard that the county lieutenant was visiting. The guards who had never seen such a high official could not help but feel a little nervous. They hurriedly responded and went to report. Then they found out the identity of the county lieutenant - he sent someone to find Chen Lizheng to identify him.
