It's not good to have your parents-in-law in the house. You have to get their consent to make any decision. If they firmly object and you don't listen to them, you will be labeled as unfilial. Although

She can ignore him, but her reputation outside will not be good, which is not conducive to winning the hearts of the people.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li were quite reasonable and did not give random orders or ask her to do as they said. They knew that An Ran built the bastion and other things and that An Ran was capable and respected her.

Pull her back.

If you change those JPs and rely on their status as parents-in-law to ask her to do what they ask, especially when they see that she has obtained a lot of food, they are jealous and want to take it for themselves and turn it into personal property, then it will be a headache.

.

At this moment, Old Man Li and Mrs. Li heard what An Ran said and thought so, so they stopped persuading them and continued to build the fortress along with An Ran.

Just when Anron was building a new fortress not far from Pingyuan Town, Anran repelled the refugees, even retaliated against them, and grabbed food. Li Xiuyin once again sent his cronies to deliver food, and Li Xiuyin also heard about it and asked him to

I can’t help but be curious.

However, the fighting on the front line was becoming more and more intense day by day, and Li Xiu couldn't help but go back to take a look, so he had no choice but to let Zhang Tiezhu and others go back to take a look at the situation and talk to himself.

Because Li Xiu didn't come back, An Ran was relieved. After all, she didn't want to see Li Xiu before his power was strong. Then he would be unhappy and pressure her to hand over his power. If Li Xiu wanted to do this now,

She really has no choice. Although she has some martial arts skills, if the other party gets angry and leads troops to attack her if she doesn't hand it over, her newly minted team will still be unable to resist it.

When she becomes more powerful in the future, he will pressure her to hand over her power. If she doesn't, Li Xiu will have nothing to do, and at most, her reputation will be affected a little because she doesn't listen to her husband.

Yes, although Li Xiu is the husband of the original body, she did not want to hand over her power to Li Xiu. If the original body did not give a five-star rating because of this, she would let her go. There was no other way, in such troubled times, there was no one of her own.

She didn't feel safe about her power, especially since the imperial court was about to wipe out Li Xiu. In this case, she would hand over her power to Li Xiu, letting the incompetent Li Xiu defeat her hard work, and then leave.

Should she take the same path as the original body, so that she can't complete the task? Besides, she doesn't want to hand over her things.

Although she defeated Song Mazi and grabbed some food, this small amount of food would not last long, and she had to continue looking for food.

At that time, Song Mazi's food reserve could probably feed his group of people for five days, which was about 100,000 catties.

But when Song Mazi escaped, their people moved about 10,000 jins, and An Ran only got 90,000 jins.

The 90,000 jins came back safely. Each of the 1,000 people who participated in the war was given a reward of 10 jins, leaving only 80,000 jins.

Currently, there are almost three thousand members of Ping An's patrol team, including those who build walls, blacksmiths, clothes makers, teachers, and various civilians.

Three thousand people need at least two kilograms of food for food, drink and wages every day. This is the cost to maintain the minimum operation. In this way, it is six thousand or eighty thousand kilograms a day, which is not enough for half a month.

Not to mention that in the future, the patrol team will definitely select reliable ones from among the people who built the wall to continue to replenish it. For the time being, there must be at least three thousand in order to maintain the operation of the two bastions.

In this way, more food will be needed.

Therefore, even though she has obtained so much food, in fact, she still has to continue to obtain food.

She doesn't want to steal people's things, which is not in line with her three views. It's best if others steal her things and she takes advantage of the situation to fight back.

Thinking of this, An Ran arranged for people to go around and spread the news, saying that she had robbed a lot of food and had food to eat. She wanted to use this trick to attract people.

Of course, you still need to be very skillful in spreading the news. For example, you can't spread it to those big forces, lest it attracts a siege from the big forces. With so many of them, they can't handle it.

And you can't spread among ordinary refugees. They are not rebels, they are people fleeing from famine. They come in groups looking for food. Spreading among them is just looking for trouble. Even if they attack you and you fight back, they will

There will be no food for you. I will only hear that you have food here and surround your city like locusts. And as time goes by, more and more people will gather after hearing the news, and eventually they will

Unable to stand the hunger, he launched an attack.

Although these people have little fighting power, if a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of people gather and surround you like a zombie siege, this small fortress cannot hold it.

An Ran is not worried about not attracting people. Now the rebels in the Central Plains are short of food. I heard that there is food here. Except for the good people, anyone who is a little greedy will come to find trouble for him.

Then you can fight back.

Of course, before that, she has to train more patrol teams to avoid encountering larger forces that cannot be defeated by a thousand people.

However, she felt that two thousand patrols armed to the teeth should be able to sweep away all the forces in the area.

So she only plans to recruit 3,000 people for the time being. In this way, if there is a war, 2,000 people will be dispatched and 1,000 people will stay in the nest for defense.

Thinking of this, Anron began to continue recruiting people. While recruiting people, he also sent people out to spread such news.

Not to mention, An Ran's method was still effective. Soon someone heard that there was food here and took an interest like Song Mazi. So soon, An Ran harvested some more food.

The reason why it can be solved so easily is that those who usually focus on the small area of ​​​​Enron are small forces. After all, big forces, when they focus on influence, will not easily attack the forts built by ordinary people for no reason - they

It is true that they will rob the rich and give to the poor, and attack the forts of the rich, but they generally do not attack the forts or villages built by ordinary people like An Ran, so as not to lose a bad reputation; secondly, they have many people, and An Ran

The little food they spread out is not enough for them. On the contrary, it would take a lot of effort and effort to fight there, and it would also take the risk of offending Li Xiu. It is not worth it, so they usually don't come.

The small forces will not pay attention to the impact. As long as there is food, they will rob it, and they are not afraid of offending Li Xiu, because generally small forces do not have a fixed territory, and if they rob An Ran's things, they are afraid of being held accountable by Li Xiu.

Just run away.

Such a small force is exactly what An Ran wants, and they hit it off immediately, which makes An Ran naturally happy. After all, in this way, they can fight successfully and have food for sustainable development. How great.

Soon Enron embarked on the road of rapid development. With food, Enron continued to recruit people to build more bastions. Once the bastions were established, more patrol teams were recruited to guard them. In this way, the scale expanded.
Chapter completed!
