The beggar emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

The villagers are still very simple, as long as they receive the rice, the next day, the sky is still bright and they rushed to the bottom of the Black Mountain.

However, they were all up and down in their hearts, and everyone was carrying wooden sticks in their hands. Those who didn't know thought they were here to attack the cottage.

And Dahu even took the big iron fork with him. This was the same outfit they had beaten a tiger the year before, and he sold the tiger skin and bought it.

After Qin Yu learned of it, he was also overjoyed, and quickly finished dressing with the help of the mother and daughter, and led people to the foot of the mountain.

"Guys, don't be nervous, I am the owner of this cottage, my surname is Qin, you can call me the owner of Qin in the future.

The job of the cottage is very simple. It is to build a stone wall on the mountainside that is two feet high and one meter wide. It is about fifteen feet long. The porridge has been cooked on it. Now everyone will follow me up the mountain to drink the porridge. Work after the porridge and finish work before sunset."

For these people, Qin Yu naturally wouldn't say that he was the leader of the anti-thief, otherwise he would be scared off immediately.

More than fifty men, look at me, I look at you, no one wants to move first, and finally the big tiger took the lead and walked up the mountain with the iron fork, and the others followed.

"Chuntao..."

"Big... Big Tiger, Monkey, Third Uncle..."

When all the villagers in Liujia Village saw the women cooking porridge on the mountainside, they were shocked.

"Chuntao, it turns out that you were caught up to the mountain by the black tiger, hateful, I should have thought of this long ago."

Big Tiger slammed his regretful punch on the mound, his teeth creaked, and the others were equally distressed.

Two years ago, Chuntao and the other two went up the mountain to chop wood and disappeared. They both thought they were taken away by a big worm. Who would have thought that they were caught up to the mountain by bandits.

"Chuntao, my wife?

"What about my spring flowers?"

"Uncle Fourth, Uncle Six, Sister Chunhua and Nizi are gone..." Chun Tao started sobbing as she said.

Two middle-aged men in their 40s also burst into tears when they heard this, and more than 50 people were sad.

"Chuntao, come back with us!"

"Big Tiger Brother, I don't want to go back. The son and the wife treated us very well. The son also rescued us..."

Chuntao shook her head, then explained to them.

Although the people in the village are all her relatives, her mother was no longer there when she was a child, and her father left two years ago, so she didn't want to go back and be embarrassed.

When everyone saw that she refused to go back, and heard that she was doing well now, they didn't worry about it anymore, but they had a much better impression of these little thieves.

Qin Yu had been watching this scene all the time without interrupting. The reason why Chuntao and the others were asked to come out was to dispel the suspicions of these villagers.

After drinking the porridge, Qin Yu first drew the foundation for about ten feet in front of the wooden village, and asked half of the people to level the ground and half to lift the stones.

There are a lot of rocks on the mountainside. The big ones are as high as several tons per person, and the small ones are several hundred catties and dozens of catties.

Qin Yu only knows how to burn cement, but he doesn't know how to burn it.

There is no limestone on the mountain. It is too troublesome to buy it. The legendary sticky rice juice is used as a binder, which is to be struck by lightning, so I have to cut the stone with clay and straw.

The people in Liujia Village did not work for a quarter of an hour, and more than 100 people from the other two villages, Huangjia Village and Wangjia Village who received food, also came.

At noon, there are really two fist-sized steamed buns per person. Although the vegetable soup has no oil and water, it is enough. This makes more than 100 people full of energy and no one dares to be lazy.

Watching this scene, Qin Yu was a little bit satisfied. Although these people are all yellow and thin, they are good seedlings for soldiers and swords as long as they are raised for two to three months.

"My son, it's time to drink medicine."

As soon as she returned to the room, Mrs. Li walked in with a bowl of black medicinal soup, Qin Yu's brows suddenly frowned.

"Madam, I really can't drink this medicine, and I don't know whether it works. The injury has been much stronger in the past few days. I don't think I need to drink it!"

"My son, don't talk nonsense, good medicine is bitter, come, open your mouth..."

Mrs. Li shook a spoon and blew it twice before handing it to his mouth and smiling.

Qin Yu had also drunk Chinese medicine in his previous life, but I don't know what happened to the medicinal power in his previous life. It was not as bitter as it is now.

"My son, let me bear it again. I will go to the county town tomorrow and buy some brown sugar by the way. It will be much better then."

"I'll do it myself."

If she feeds other things by spoonful by spoonful, it is naturally a joy to enjoy, but this Chinese medicine is simply torture, so she grabs the bowl and pinches the nose, which is a violent injection. Long pain is worse than short pain.

"The son really has extraordinary perseverance, and he needs to know that he will endure hardships, and he will be a master. With the son's disposition, he will not do anything in the future..."

Mrs. Li praised her when she took the bowl, but she didn't forget to secretly teach some benevolence and etiquette, etc., the size can be said to be quite wonderful, and it is obvious that someone's temperament is clear.

...

On the second day, more people came, and there were more than 500 men and women together. Even some old and weak came to join in the fun.

For these people, Qin Yu wouldn't want it, and he didn't have any food to eat. As for sending rice, he didn't even think about it.

After giving an explanation, he and Xiao Xinru set off again to Nanzhang County. This time, not only did he bring five young people, but also selected five people from the working men, each with one or two pennies.

Among them was Liu Hu, the man with a stubborn back and a back.

With a squeezed fist, it was really the size of a baby's head, holding a sack weighing a hundred catties in one hand, and still walking like flying, which surprised Qin Yu secretly.

Nanzhang County is only 50 miles away from Heishanzhai. If you go directly south from Heishi Town, you can take the mountain road to the east and Shangguan Road to the south, which is almost 70 miles.

However, in order to avoid Blackstone Town, he had to take a long detour.

The group only took two mules and horses. They set off in the early morning, hurriedly and hurriedly, and finally entered the city at the moment the gate was closed.

After a day's journey, everyone was very tired, especially Xiao Xinru, so he hurriedly searched for an inn and rested after eating.

In this era, scholars are really popular, and ordinary people have to check when they enter the city, but Xiao Xinru only lost a piece of silver, and the group of uncles at the city gate smiled.

The shopkeeper of the shop in the city was also very polite. In just one morning, he bought two hundred cotton cloth, five hundred catties of cotton, one hundred catties of salt, some chickens and pigs, brown sugar, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and tea.

As for the sulphur, it is only 50 kilograms.

The last time I bought food, I spent almost a thousand taels of silver. This time I spent two thousand taels of silver. I hired ten carts. The main reason was that cotton was too expensive and took up a lot of space.

But Qin Yu felt that this cotton cloth was far from enough.

Not only did he make cotton jackets, cotton trousers, quilts, and cotton shoes, he also wanted to make a set of cotton armor for each of the boys.

"My son, you can't buy it anymore. We have already attracted attention. If you buy it again, it may attract the attention of the county magistrate. If you say that you can't make a concubine, you have to go to the county office again, or come again next time!

Seeing that Qin Yu wanted to buy more, Xiao Xinru hurriedly persuaded that she would buy all the cotton and cotton cloth after she bought it.

"Well then! Get out of the city now, and you will be able to reach the three fork in the road in the evening."

Qin Yu also nodded. He didn't want Xiao Xinru to be called by the county magistrate to the county office to drink tea, so he confessed to Qin Feng, "Qin Feng, do you know me more cleverly this time? If we hit, let this leader come to rescue you."

"The leader can rest assured, within three days, I will treat the little girl Huadu in the city well!" Qin Feng assured him, patting his chest.

"Well, not just in the city, but the orphans nearby will also be called together and sent to Montenegro together. What we lack now is the manpower."

Qin Yu nodded and ordered for a while before leading the convoy to the gate of the city.

This time he not only kept Qin Feng, but also two young men as assistants, who will be responsible for finding out all the news that is unfavorable to them and recruiting staff by the way.

Because after several wars, the original three hundred and twenty-five teenagers had killed 105 people, and the casualties were as high as one-third.

This was extremely terrifying in ancient times. These young people followed him to Huguang, and they had a good life to find a wife, not to die.

This is exactly why he dared not use swords and soldiers anymore, but chose to take the money to risk buying food and supplies.

The teenagers' endurance has reached the limit, and it's okay if they win. If they lose, they are afraid that they will be distracted immediately. Therefore, they urgently need to add new troops and live a stable life.
