"Stay all?"

Su Di and Xu Guanshan both planned to take their little family back to Shituling Xinzhai, but Liu Qiong'er came over and advocated that they all settle in Jinshagou Village.

Xu Wujiang and Xu Xin'an gained a foothold in Xiema Mountain. In addition to the initial military soldiers and the enlistment of some remnants of the enemy, they also secretly recruited more than 30 young and strong people from Xuli, Xiafang. Their families were small, as well as the refugees who had escaped bandits near Huaiyuan for more than a month, and those who had been intimidated from Shituling Xinzhai to Jinshagou Village after the war.

There are more than 250 people in many families, and there are almost 400 people who have officially moved to Jinshagou Village, Dingkou is worth equating to Lutai Nanzhai.

Su Di and Xu Guanshan were not particularly sad about the fact that the new village in Shituling had been built and reclaimed, but were worried that the Jinshagou Village was small and where could it accommodate so many people?

Fifty or sixty wooden terraced houses were built in Jinshagou Village, instead of fifty or sixty yards, and the houses were very scarce.

There were chaos in the war, five or six or even seven or eight people squeezed into a small wooden house during the hot summer season, which everyone could barely endure, but in the long run, it was far worse than living in a shack.

Another thing is that forty or fifty acres of vegetable fields have been reclaimed near Jinshagou Village. So many people’s food must be carried from the outside, and this part of the extra consumption will be quite amazing over time.

At present, gold mining in the valley can only accommodate seventy or eighty women and children. The scale of the blacksmith shop is limited, and eleven or two people are enough to work. The extra two or three hundred people do not have land to cultivate. What are you doing?

And the new village houses and cultivated fields that were left in Jinshagou Village and Shituo Ridge were abandoned? Su Di, Xu Guanshan and others didn't care, but in the eyes of too many people, the land and houses were the foundation of everything, their lives | roots, how could they be willing to give up easily?

It’s not Su Di. Xu Guanshan wants to sing a stage drama with Liu Qiong'er. The key is that they have to convince many young people to agree to stay.

Faced with this series of problems that were thrown over, Liu Qiong'er was as big as a numb head. Seeing Xu Huai and Yin Peng and Zheng Tu competed with the half-grown boys in the village in the valley below, she was so angry that she wanted to poke his villain, but she said calmly:

"There is a lot of people who can collect seven or eight jin of gold sand every day at this valley, but now Jinshagou Village is a bit powerful and is not afraid of others taking it in the future. However, have you ever thought about what the situation will be if the golden sand that can be collected in this valley is really doubled?"

"Can you still get ten jin of gold sand in this valley every day?" Xu Guanshan asked in surprise.

Organizing more than a hundred women and children to pick seven or eight jin of gold sand every day, it will be worth one or two thousand acres of high-quality paddy fields or three or four thousand acres of dry land.

If it doubles several times, it will be scary to collect ten jin of gold sand every day.

Xu Guanshan suspected that Liu Qiong'er was talking nonsense, but there was no way to question it.

Neighbors around the world have known that there are gold sands in Jinsha Grottoes for eight years, but every year they settle down to find gold, and the income is even difficult to make a living. Who would have thought that after Liu Qiong'er came, someone would cut a big tree open, but it would be several times more profitable than a wooden plate to make gold?

He dares to say that Liu Qiong'er has no better way, but he just doesn't want to rush to take it out for the time being, so as not to attract jealousy?

Liu Qiong'er thought that this lie was always more convincing than Xu Huai's nonsense. She smiled deeply and said, "Some things cannot be too ostentatious now, but you can wait and see, can I still deceive you?"

"If we could really pick 35 jin of gold and sand here every day, the situation would be more complicated..." Xu Guanshan didn't know much about the major affairs of the court, but he could still imagine how to fight for it if a treasure land that would really make a fortune in Tongbai Mountain.

They want to occupy the interests of Jinshagou more reasonably and restrict other forces from making excuses to intervene. The best way is to build houses in all the livable places along Jinshagou with Jinshagou as the core.

This requires a large enough base of dittoes that they absolutely control.

"What should I do on the side of Shitu Ridge? You can't just give up like this. Why don't you divide the people into two groups?" Su Di asked hesitantly.

"Xu Jiewei led the soldiers from all over the country to kill the thieves and earn rewards, but the rewards cannot be made to the soldiers without restraint," said Liu Qiong'er. "The land and houses that have been built in Shitu Ridge are actually of great use to sell them at a low price to these generals and soldiers. In addition to gathering the soldiers who are good at fighting and family members, it also saves the house Xu from worrying that you will have the intention of taking their land and houses in the future!"

"You say this very reasonably," Su Di said hesitantly, "You are going to Beiqiao Village today. Let's go to Wujiang and the others to discuss..."

"Xu Wujiang and the others are preparing to attack the Trekker Camp. We cannot bother them with these trivial matters at this time," said Liu Qiong'er. "The bandits have not yet settled, and the new village in Shituling is not safe. I don't think too much now. Everyone should stay for the time being, even if it's better to build more houses here first..."

Liu Qiong'er thought to keep all these people for the time being. As long as she rushes to build enough houses, she will officially keep everyone here in ten days and half a month, and there will be less resistance.

Su Di and Xu Guanshan asked Liu Qiong'er to persuade him, and decided to stay first and wait until the situation stabilizes further before talking about other things.

Seeing Su Di, Xu Guanshan went to order things. Liu Qiong'er called Ge and Madam Kun to help. She walked to Xu Huai with her skirt, patted her towering chest, and said breathlessly: "I have told all my lies in this life..."

"After urinating, you can still hold it out if you drink a few more sips of water. You are lying if you say this." Xu Huai said.

"Why are you talking more and more vulgar?" Liu Qiong'er glanced at Xu Huai with beautiful eyes and said angrily.

"I wrote the sign of "Chushan Zhuhu surrendered the thief's head" in the street market, but when the thief saw me, he cried, 'The thief is here again'. It seems that my 'recklessness' has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. How can I learn from a novice and ruin my image?" Xu Huai said.

"What a broken image that makes you so proud?" Liu Qiong'er asked, "It's not difficult to deceive so many people against your conscience, but do you know exactly how to build a so-called fort?"

"Chonghuang Temple opened remote pavilions and halls between Chongshan, especially the upper courtyard, and based on the dangerous terrain, some renovations will be carried out in the future, that is, to build a solid stone wall at Yicang, and there are many defensive platforms, whistle towers, arrow towers, and arrow towers. Jinshagou Village also has to choose a high and dangerous place to build a dock fort." Xu Huai said.

The location of Lutai Village is mainly to facilitate the people to cultivate the fields in the Qingliuxi River Valley. Building a village in a river valley with a gentle terrain is naturally much cheaper to build.

Shituoling Dongpo Xinzhai chooses a gentle mountain valley as much as possible, but it is nearly twenty feet above the flat ground. The same house, opening remote mountain roads, logging and burning bricks, etc. are much troublesome.

When it comes to Jinshagou, the terrain is even more remote, and you have to specialize in high and dangerous places to build a fort. However, when you repair the Panshan Road and connect it with the outside world, Liu Qiong'er had a headache when she thought about it, and asked Xu Huai: "Do you know how long it took to be built in Chonghuang Temple and how much money has been spent to repair and repair over the years? Do you feel your back hurt when you stand and speak?"

"You just boasted that you can pick ten cents of gold sand in this stream every day. You can really find a way to do this. Isn't money and food enough?" Xu Huai said.

Shangfang Xuji's family merged so many land, pastures and fields in Yuhuangling, and had several businesses in Huaiyuan, Biyang and other places, but if they had to raise so many people, they might only earn a few thousand guan of money in the end of the year.

Of course, the Xu family can be called a wealthy family in Tongbai Mountain and even Biyang County, and it has a greater relationship with the accumulation of generations.

However, this stream really needs to produce tens of thousands of chunks of money every year, which is definitely not a small amount. It is enough to support the subsequent two to three military forts and the remoteness of the carriage and horse lanes.

The key is to convince everyone to use so much money and food to build military forts.

In the coming first year of Jianhe, Chihu people invaded Central Plains, and Dayue was facing the disaster of national destruction. No one would believe this. How can we explain the significance of building a military fort here at such a high cost?

Others are not chess pieces that can be merciless, and they have more or less their own opinions. Xu Huai can only ask Liu Qiong'er to continue to stand up and take the blame.

Anyway, beautiful women should be qualified to be willful.

"You said that you have to go out for a trip, but you have to go out for so many things here," Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai suspiciously and said, "Do you want to let me do something for you here?"

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind," said Xu Huai. "This is just a difficult thing to convince people to decide to do it, but if things can be arranged, Uncle Wu Liang and Uncle Wu Kun can focus on this business. How can you do it here? Don't be so cautious, okay?"

"The world is so big, I want to go and see it too - but I'm determined, don't throw me down!" Liu Qiong'er stared at Xu Huai's advice with concern.

"Hook?" Xu Huai stretched out his little finger and asked Liu Qiong'er to hook him with his little finger.

Liu Qiong'er's fingertips were tender and soft. Xu Huai's mind was waving and he couldn't help but want to grab her little hand, but Liu Qiong'er quickly pulled her hand back. It was really boring...
