When the first owner of the Bezhuang built the Bezhuang, he came here mainly to escape the heat in the summer. Therefore, there are many tall trees planted near Biezhuang, even in the middle of the day, you will not feel a trace of heat in Zhuangzi.

More than three hundred young laborers and bandits who were called to build a fort in this cool environment at this moment. According to the instructions of the steward, they first built a three-foot-thick and one-foot-high fence around Biezhuang, and planted a phoenix tree not far from the fence every dozens of steps.

Near noon, the people in the kitchen came over with the cooked food.

As if they had received a certain signal, they all put down the work in their hands, scrambling to rush towards the clearing.

Shen Ling wants to complete this project as soon as possible, so he is very willing to pay for the food. Breakfast is rice porridge and green onion flatbread, at noon there are two dishes of rice, one meat and one vegetarian, and at night, it is steamed buns and pickles coarse grain porridge.

At the moment, every young worker received a large bowl full of brown rice, and a small bowl filled with fragrant braised pork and green vegetable tofu.

After everyone had eaten, there was still half an hour's rest time, which was ordered by Shen Ling. Only if you have a good rest at noon, can you better devote yourself to the heavy physical work.

The food is good, the pay is good, and there is a break at noon.

More than 300 young laborers worked for more than half a month. After some well-informed farmers in the neighborhood got the news, they began to inquire about whether to add people to Biezhuang.

When Lu Guan went back and forth to Shen Ling, Shen Ling said without hesitation: "Of course, the more people, the better." After the fortress is built in the future, she will expand the land owned by the village, and now those farmers can open it for her. If she comes to work and works, she will become her tenant because of profit-driven work in the future.

Shen Ling's prediction was not wrong at all. When Bie Zhuang agreed with those young and strong laborers from outside to join the construction of the wall, half of the young and strong labors within a hundred li were attracted by the good treatment.

The original more than 300 people slowly grew to more than 500 people, and the wall was built in less than a month. Next, the more than five hundred people started to build the turrets according to Shen Ling's intentions, and a full eight turrets were completed before they were completed.

Shen Ling fulfilled his previous promise and distributed one hundred yuan to each young and strong laborer.

Then that night, she took advantage of the darkness to quietly place a piece of mysterious tortoise shell on the highest point of each of the eight turrets. The mysterious tortoise shell piece was found in Fangshi at the family of Xiuxianshi before, and it has the effect of warding off evil spirits in the town house. Coupled with the gossip orientation of the turret, the surrounding wall can be kept indestructible and protected from fire and water.

After doing this, Shen Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Who knows when the group of rebels stationed in the depths of Meishan will attack Bezhuang, but with the protection of the wall, everyone in Bezhuang can be temporarily preserved before talking about it. Future development.

Shen Ling had been thinking about this in her heart for the past two months. Now that she has taken defensive measures, she was relieved and began to think about her future plans.

It turned out that when he was in the county town, Shen Ling had a good idea, relying on Meishan, an easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack terrain, to use the fields near Biezhuang to develop his power little by little.

But after coming, the group of rebels stationed in the depths of Meishan suddenly disrupted her plan and made her stop to build fortifications. Now that the fortifications have been built, Shen Ling has a bold plan in mind to drive out the group of rebels in Meishan.

With those rebels, Shen Ling always felt that no matter what he did, he would be restrained. Instead of doing this, he might as well drive them out.

After Shen Ling had this idea in his mind, he went to meet the twenty bandits.

The bandits pretended to be farmers in accordance with Shen Ling's orders to build the fortress in Biezhuang. Now that the fortress is built, they have nothing to do, and they hunt or sleep nearby every day.

When Shen Ling arrived at their resting place, a dozen people were grilling hares around the fire, and several others were lying on the ground sleeping.

Shen Ling coughed slightly, and the gangsters who heard the movement stood up hurriedly.

After more than twenty people stood there for a while, they heard the **** the opposite side say: "From tomorrow on, you will learn martial arts with me. You don’t want you to become martial arts masters, but you must be proficient in these three weapons. Two words."

With regard to military training, Shen Ling asked herself to be a layman, but martial arts cultivation was her strong point. So she plans to create a private army with a higher level of martial arts, which will be able to sweep the battlefield in the future.

Since Shen Ling was determined to train the twenty bandits, he not only took out books suitable for them to practice martial arts from the space, but also provided medicinal materials to help them improve their physical fitness.

While these bandits were being trained, Shen Ling began to expand the fields of Biezhuang, spending a lot of money to purchase land.

There were more and more fields, and Guan Shi was a little too busy. Shen Ling put the son of the big housekeeper, Asheng, next to Guan Shi, and asked him to beat Guan Shi, so that he could be a deputy in the future.

As for the families that Shen Ling had brought, she didn't let them sit idle. They were divided into three groups, patrolling near the wall every day.

As for the family members, Shen Ling divided them into the sewing room, washing room and kitchen according to their specialties.

And the maids selected by Shen Ling also have their own places to go, and they are not busy every day.

Before you know it, it's autumn harvest time.

When Guan Shi Lu came to mention the matter with Shen Ling, he was a little worried that the group of rebels nesting in Meishan would come to Biezhuang to grab the grain that was about to mature.

Shen Ling frowned and said, "When did these rebels be stationed in Meishan, and why did they not leave?"

Guanshi Lu replied: "These people came in the spring of the year before last. I heard that they lost a battle when attacking a certain county town, and suffered a lot of casualties. Now they are staying in Meishan. They want to wait for them. I'll talk about the severely injured."

Shen Ling pondered for a moment. If only some young men were seriously injured, they could be left to recover slowly in the mountains. Thinking about it this way, an important figure in the Rebel army must have been seriously injured, so they would be here. Stay here for so long.

But even if an important person is seriously injured, a team of more than 1,000 people cannot be underestimated.

Shen Ling only turned his thoughts for a moment, and then extinguished the sprouted thoughts. The plan for the present is to grab the grain in the fields. As long as there is grain, the people can grow up a little bit.

"Order to go down, from tomorrow, except for the old, the weak and the sick, everyone else in the village will go down to help grab the grain." Shen Ling ordered, "In addition, all tenants will be exempted from tenants by 10% this year."

After the news of the rent reduction and exemption was released, the tenants who had seized the time to grab the rent became more motivated. In addition, there are special people in the Zhuangzi who deliver food and water to the people who work in these fields, which greatly saves time and rushes to harvest. The speed has been greatly accelerated.

Only when the tenants grabbed half of the receipt, the volunteers stationed in Meishan came out.

Fifty rebels came to Biezhuang. They were farmers and they were no worse than the tenants. Although they had never taken action against the tenants, because of their identities, the tenants naturally did not dare to step forward to stop them, so they had to quietly speed up their hands.

Shen Ling had already anticipated this fact. Although fifty or so rebels were not terrible, it was a lot to clean up more rebels. What's more, this incident can just arouse the resistance of the tenants, so Shen Ling ordered all the tenants not to conflict with the rebels for their own safety.

When Shen Ling's words reached the tenants' ears, the tenants couldn't help but feel grateful. In contrast, they resented the rebels who came to grab the food. Earlier, when the rebels had no conflict of interest with them, they had a good impression of them because of their origins. Nowadays, when it comes to their own food rations, the rebels will receive one more food, and their food rations will be reduced by one point. Therefore, although the tenants did not dare to know what to do to the rebels, they cursed them secretly.

At the end of the autumn harvest, although Shen Ling spared the tenants 10% of the rent, because of the rebels, the tenants' rations were still less than in previous years. Just as the tenants were frowning, a notice was posted here in Biezhuang, enrolling two hundred householders. As long as they are over 20 years old and under 40 years old, they can sign up. The young and strong laborers who pass through can receive 30 catties of grain and a bunch of money per month.

As soon as this notice was posted, everyone immediately boiled over, and the treatment was even higher than when the fortress was built.

So there were more than 500 young and strong laborers who came to sign up, and most of them had contributed to the construction of the fortress.

In accordance with Shen Ling's instructions, Guan Shi selected two hundred people, all under 30 years old and healthy.

After these two hundred people were recruited, a gangster came to teach them some basic skills, such as standing on wooden stakes and squatting on horses, the next day.

That gangster man is no one else, but the one with the most martial arts talent among the twenty gangsters. Shen Ling picked out the two hundred young men to train these two hundred young men.

After the autumn harvest, there will be a long slack time for the farming. Shen Ling intends to use this time to train 200 young and strong soldiers into soldiers with initial military value.

So in addition to standing on stakes and squatting, they also have to run with weights. These projects were all seen by Shen Ling from TV dramas in modern times. For her non-professionals, she can only learn from the more conventional training methods.

However, the method is relatively old-fashioned, but the effect is very good. After a month, Shen Ling stood on the turret and looked at the two hundred neatly standing people underneath. He had already begun to be a soldier.

It just seems that something is missing.

After Shen Ling got down from the turret, he ordered someone to call Lu to take care of him and asked him how many blacksmiths there were in the other village.

Manager Lu has had a vague guess since Shen Ling recruited two hundred householders. Now that he heard Shen Ling asking the blacksmith, he knew that he had guessed Shen Ling's intentions correctly.

He replied honestly: "There are two blacksmiths in the Zhuangzi, and they often give the tenants some farm tools and their craftsmanship is so-so."

Shen Ling thought for a while and said, "I want to equip each of the two hundred new recruits with a knife and a handle. What do you think?"
