Start a city building order

Chapter 106 One Hundred Thousand Refugees
early morning,

After an autumn rain, the rising sun was extraordinarily bright, but when the light shone on the inside and outside of Lucheng, what it reflected was the light of blood.

In Lucheng, which was originally very prosperous, there was thick smoke, screams, and begging for mercy.

A strong smell of blood enveloped the state city.

In the center of the city, in the territory of the Lu family, the blood even gathered into a stream, gurgling in the canal.

The heads of dead people piled up casually, providing the flies in late autumn with their last gluttonous meal.

In some rooms, there are women's howls and wanton laughter.

The whole city is like a noble lady being ravaged by beggars and hooligans.

"Idiot, have you ignored this general's orders? Except for Mrs. Lu, other people in the city are not allowed to harm, rape or plunder. How do you restrain your subordinates?"

In the spacious, tall and outrageously extravagant ancestral hall of the Lu family, Jin Wushu cursed at the three commanders.

He is not a kind person, but he clearly knows that burning, killing and looting at this stage will only spoil the big things.

The three-way black-toothed army was wiped out and maimed all the way. He knew this from the Mengyuan chat group, but he couldn't say it. As soon as the black-toothed cavalry broke through the city and killed all the rebels, they immediately plundered and killed like a pack of wolves, what the hell.

Jin Wushu managed to recruit these commanders, but the guys who had just put on their trouser belts were humming and haha, so angry that his nose was crooked.

But what can he do?
He knows that these are the faults of nomadic groups.

And it has only been five days since he was summoned, and he hasn't even started training his direct lineage yet.

What's more, wouldn't it be the same to cultivate direct descendants?
For the grassland nomads, as long as they can lead them to continuous victories, capture the enemy's cities, rob wealth, women, and food, then they will become extremely loyal.

Jin Wushu sighed secretly, he had already sensed something was wrong, today's battle was too simple and easy.

In a state city with a population of more than 20, although the city wall collapsed because of the ground dragon turning over, the Lu family was also a powerful family, so they couldn't organize a decent counterattack.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were controlling it.

This thought made Jin Wushu shudder.

If he is just a pure black-toothed general, it doesn't matter, eat and drink together, fight and kill, have enough addiction, and die happily.

But he is a historical reincarnation.

"In any case, we must evacuate Lucheng early tomorrow morning."

Jin Wushu issued the strictest order.

He is so insecure now that he doesn't even dare to call private soldiers anymore.

-

Lucheng has become a purgatory.

The thick smoke that goes straight up to the sky can be seen dozens of miles away, this is the most unmistakable signal.

The people in the villages and towns seemed to be the end of the day, helping the old and the young, bringing valuables and food at home, and started fleeing in unison.

Flee towards Luming Mountain.

In the panic, no one knew exactly what was going on, but everyone knew that staying was definitely not the best choice.

Even some big households are also fleeing, the only difference is that they have horse carts, ox carts, and lastly donkey carts and mule carts.

Those who are close to Dashi County will flee to Dashi County.

Those who are close to Yanhui Mountain will flee to Yanhui Mountain.

Those who are next to the counties in the west will flee to the west.

The rest, the richest land in the southeast of Lucheng, basically fled to Luming Mountain, or fled to Lujia Town.

Looking down from a high altitude, the people are like ants.

Even they themselves will feel so humble, so small.

"Father, mother, I'm hungry—"

On an old scooter, only a four or five-year-old boy shouted softly. He is too young to understand what it means to escape?
He only thought it was fun watching his parents pulling the cart desperately in front of him, and he couldn't understand the worries on the faces of his brothers and sisters next to him. He would cry hungry when he was tired from playing.

"Shitou, don't make trouble, after passing the mountain in front, mother will cook something delicious for you."

The woman who helped her husband pull the cart turned her head, a difficult smile appeared on her dark and thin face, they didn't dare to stop, when they woke up in the morning, they heard that the barbarian was coming, and they hurriedly woke up the child with their husband, Grabbing the only food at home, some household items were soft, and ran into the mountains with the villagers.

Damn it, this year was going well, and I was hoping to have a good year, but the barbarians came.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the fields planted by the family have been harvested, and the rent has been paid to the lords, and there are still a few hundred catties left. Now that the city has suffered a disaster, it has given them a chance to escape.

I just hope that the savage can retreat sooner, otherwise the whole family will be frozen to death in the mountains when it is winter.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden clamor in front of him, many people stopped, and some people ran back in a panic.

"Master, isn't there bandits blocking the way?" The woman asked in horror, her hands were so frightened that she was at a loss for what to do. A few days ago, she heard from the old villager in the village that a group of strong men came out of Luming Mountain. Several towns have been robbed, killing countless people.

"Why panic, even if you meet bandits, it's better than being killed by barbarians."

The woman's husband has his own ideas. Although he rents ten acres of farmland from Mr. Lu San's family, he also goes to Lucheng to work as a handyman in his spare time. For more than a month, he has heard that he is a barbarian. How to slaughter the royal capital of Dayan, hundreds of members of Dayan's emperor's old family were beheaded.

So these barbarians are naturally much more powerful than bandits.

When encountering bandits, at most give up some belongings, and if the barbarians catch up, the whole family will die.

As for the gang of bandits on Luming Mountain.

Hey, he knows, that's not an ordinary bandit, how can there be a bandit doing business?
A few days ago, he went to the house of Master Lu Wu in Lujia Town to do miscellaneous work and harvest rice, but he had heard with his own ears that there was a female bandit over there, sitting firmly in the third place, with copper bells, big eyes and beards, extremely vicious , with a knife in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, killing people without blinking an eye.

But in the end, bandits would give money for meals and money for drinking. Even if they did business, they would pay both money and goods, and there would be no debts.

If not, then why did Master Lu Er from Qingfeng Town, Master Lu Jiu from Xiushui Town, and Master Lu Shiba from Guangtian Town all move their belongings to Lu Family Town?

In short, it is absolutely right to follow these smart old masters.

In the chaos, I vaguely heard someone shouting something in a loud voice. The panicked people gradually calmed down, and even those who turned around and ran back gradually stopped.

After a while, after confirming that there was really no danger, groups of quail-like refugees moved forward with a little curiosity.

"Let's go and see."

The man pulled up the scooter and raised his neck hard, but his eyes were looking around vigilantly. If something went wrong, he would throw down the scooter, pull the wife, pick up the child and run away. It would be better to live than to die.

The farther we go, the more people there are. Many people are asking and inquiring, but they all have a half-knowledge and can't explain everything.

When the man wanted to leave, it was already too late, the surroundings were crowded, this is a crossroad, you can go to Lujia Town to the north, Lutou Mountain to the east, Dahe to the south, and Dahe to the west. It is Lucheng.

To the east of Lucheng, there are seven or eight towns and more than 50 villages. If you want to escape to Lutou Mountain or Lujia Town, you have to go from here.

"I have found out, I have found out, it is the old men who are recruiting workers, men do manual work, women can do sewing, mending, washing and cooking..."

Someone in front shouted excitedly, but there were also people who raised their voices and just shouted, "Whoever wants to go to work, the barbarians are coming, we are going to take refuge in the mountains, life is the most important thing!"

"Scary, just go to the mountains to take refuge? It's winter soon, what do you eat, what do you wear, where do you live? You're fine, what about your mother and child?"

"The savages have robbed enough in Lucheng, and they still don't leave? After they leave, we will come back to farm."

"Then what if I don't leave!"

"Don't talk nonsense. If you are willing to recruit workers, you will definitely not be afraid of the barbarians. Lujia Town is richer than Dashi County. Don't tell me you haven't been there. The city wall is as high as Lucheng. The barbarians are determined. Can't get in."

"Then why was Lucheng captured?"

"You son of a bitch, Dilong turned over last night, and the wall of Lucheng collapsed a lot, that's why the barbarians broke the city."

"Hey, if you want to talk about hunger, it's good to break it. If the city is not broken, you guys think about it. At this moment, it is not the barbarians who are harming Lucheng, but the villages and towns around Lucheng."

This sentence caused everyone to gasp, and at the same time rejoicing in their hearts, they pushed forward even harder. They all wanted to go to Lujia Town.

The man also wants to go, because he has been there more than once, and Lujia Town is really wider than the county seat.

He wanted to work there, even if he could only do it for a few months, as long as he could survive this winter, it would be fine.

But there are too many people. The big guys went from panic at the beginning, to curiosity, to anticipation, and even eager anticipation. In just a moment, the news seemed to have grown wings. For the common people, it is a life-saving straw.

"Come here, come here! We're also recruiting here, so don't crowd! Take care of food and housing, don't be lazy, don't be hooligans."

In the distance, there seemed to be another recruiting place. The crowd roared and split into more than half, and the men took the opportunity to squeeze to the front. The woman and the three children turned pale with fright. I have never experienced such an exciting and thrilling thing in my life.

However, it seemed that hope was right in front of him, and the bleak mood like a bereaved dog before was suddenly diluted a lot.

"Fellow, don't worry. We are from Li's Commercial Company in Xishan County. We want to recruit hard-working young men who can do tiring work. We also want hard-working women who can cook, wash, and sew clothes. Food and clothing are included. Living, each person can bring two children or two old people, give a wooden house, each person is given two meals a day, one meal of porridge, the work is a bit tiring, but the men are given 30 Wen per month, and the women are given 20 Wen per month. Wen, never default."

A gentle voice sounded, and the conditions described made the man unbelievable, and he was a little worried about gains and losses, because the Lu family's gentlemen had never had such good conditions.

Wait, Li's Firm, Mr. Li?

The man looked up boldly. The man in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old. At first glance, he looked like a son and young master from a wealthy family. He had a nice smile and spoke patiently. Let him not dare to look again.

But in my heart, I am sure that such a person will lie to mud bastards like us?

"Father, mother, I'm hungry."

It's so hard to die, the little bastard screamed at this moment, the man was startled, for fear of bumping into the noble man.

"It's okay, are you hungry? To be honest, I'm a little hungry too. Here, I'll give you a chicken leg." As he spoke, the young man smiled again, and handed over half a roasted chicken leg wrapped in paper.

"I can't do it, my lord can't do it!" The man panicked in fright.

"So, so, whoever enters my Li's business today, I, Li Si, can promise here that no matter men, women, old or young, they are all my fathers, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters of Li, and everyone will work for me, and I will guarantee that everyone will not be hungry. abdomen!"

"Master Li, what if the barbarians come over?" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Of course, to send them back to grandma's house!"

Li Si looked around with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but regret in his heart. For such domineering words to be uttered by him, Master Li, it was a bit like bragging.

Maybe this is what you lose and you gain.

Dilong turned over last night, and many houses in Xishan County were also affected by the disaster. He led people back to Xishan County overnight. The news that the Tooth Legion was killed and the Lu clan was wiped out.

He immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to gather Lucheng refugees.

However, his reputation as the Prince of Great Yan is not very good, and he was described as a bandit in the army by the aristocratic family before.

Furthermore, the fleeing people were already psychologically fragile. He led a large army to drive there. Even if the guard of honor of Prince Dayan was erected, there would be a large number of refugees who would flee in fright when they saw it from afar.

So Li Si immediately led the team in person, temporarily established Li's Commercial Firm, with food and accommodation as a slogan, and led the backbone of each division, marched all the way around Lujia Town, and came to this crossroads to recruit workers.

He is not interested in recruiting those rich and powerful people. Even if they don't care about them, they will have a good life in Lujia Town. What he needs are those low-level people such as craftsmen and tenants.

As long as the fields and houses are allocated to them, they will follow him and support him wholeheartedly.

Even if one hundred thousand refugees were recruited in this wave, Li Si would make a lot of money.

I wanted to say a few more heroic words to support Master Li's character design, but everyone didn't seem to care much about whether he could beat the black-toothed barbarians.

"Master Li, I'm a carpenter, I'm hardworking, please recruit me."

"Master Li, I don't have any skills, but I have great strength, and I will never be lazy when I work for you."

"Master Li..."

In a blink of an eye, Li Si was overwhelmed. After all, he still miscalculated on one thing, the enthusiasm of the refugees for life-saving straws.

Fortunately, Sun Jin brought people here to share the pain and happiness for Li Si.

"Your Highness, there are more and more refugees. According to the report from Yebu, the final number will exceed at least [-]. Xishan County may not be able to accommodate them."

The head of household affairs, Zhou Yue, hurried over, looking overly frightened. At the beginning, she followed Li Si's lead to receive and appease the refugees, but she was quickly defeated. Really, these refugees don't need to be so sweet With words, a big pot of rice porridge can lower their vigilance.

"Yanmenguan, Zhou Yue, you go to dispatch, select a certain number of young and strong from among the refugees, and transfer them to Dongjiazhuang and Mijiazhuang together with their families. Qin Xiaodao's urban construction engineer battalion will build simple wooden houses in these two places. Put people down first, in addition, the expansion of Zhulu Pass will also require more manpower, what is 10 people, I can afford it!"

The reason why Li Si said he was extremely confident was that he had a bumper harvest this year, and he had really, really too much food in his hands.
