With a bang, Chen Changping swung a big punch and knocked a large piece of stone that had been barbecued by the fire for more than an hour in front of him. Then he hit it like rain and knocked it into a small stone that was not much larger than a baby's fist. Chen Changfu on one side waved a shovel and shoveled the gravels into two baskets. Another man put the mulberry wooden shoulder pole in the middle, carried it up and left.

They are building roads.

After rectifying the settlement, this was a new task given to them by Li Ze, building a road to connect with his village. This is not a small project. They are ten miles away from Li Ze's village. Even if all the staff are dispatched here, there will be only a thousand people. I guess they will never finish this winter.

"Why do you need to build a road? There was no road before?" Chen Changfu shoveled a basket again and said dissatisfiedly: "In the winter, this person named Li is just tossing us."

Chen Changping straightened up and looked at the busy crowd ahead.

Men, women, young and old, everyone was busy, and no one was cheating because there was no chance. Li Ze sent special personnel to supervise their work. More than a thousand people, except for the children, the remaining ones were divided into groups. What each group did, how to do, and what level to reach were clearly stipulated. Even if they had clear regulations on how to do every half of the day, if they could not be completed, the corresponding punishment would come. If the amount exceeded the specified amount, the reward would come in response.

Now, this village, which was just named Qingshantun by Li Ze, is still eating a big pot of rice! All of these foods are provided by Li Ze. The punishment and reward are very simple, which is the difference between having food and having no food. After only a short day, everyone understood the gap between them, and they did their work very quickly without anyone saying it.

And he is now the foreman here, taking these people to work.

Chen Changping found that he could not understand what kind of person Li Ze was. He asked himself that he was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but when he was opposite Li Ze, he found that this person was covered with a thick layer of fog, making him look like watching flowers in the fog, and he could not have an intuitive understanding of him at all.

At first, he thought Li Ze was an official under the rule of the governor of Chengde Jiedu. Although he was younger, age was never a problem for these noble children. But after staying in the village for some days, he found that it was not the same thing at all. Li Ze seemed to be a small rural landlord.

If he was a country rich man, the local government obeyed this person, almost a dog in front of him. Whatever Li Ze said was, that was something. In a short time, he had seen the county magistrate of Wuyi go to Li Ze's village twice.

This person is not an official, but he is better than an official.

More importantly, this man had a very powerful armed force. The army that surrounded them and finally forced him to surrender disappeared without a trace since they came out of the mountain, and there was no trace of shadow. However, many of the officers who led this army had seen it in the village, but at that time, they took off their armor and put on the same blue-clothed servants as he did to obey.

He was particularly shocked when he saw Li Ze training those farmers in the village. The six or seven hundred strong farmers, under the command of those guards, advanced and retreated in moderation, like a well-trained army. If he had such a team at that time, he would not have no power to fight back when facing Liu Chenglin.

But when he saw the food that Li Ze provided to these farmers, he became depressed again. Even if he had time and space to train the farmers at that time, where did he get so much food? The meat fed these farmers all over the face? If there were these foods, why would the farmers rebel with him?

Thinking about the strong farmers I saw on Li Zezhuang, and looking at the thin farmers in front of me who were working in the wind and snow, Chen Changping suddenly realized that one day Li Ze seemed to have said something to him accidentally.

"The army and horses should not move, food and grass should go first."

The four brothers of his family are now divided into two shifts by Li Ze, and they work every ten days. When the two are taking people to work here, the other two are on duty in the outer courtyard of the village. The guard leader Tu Lichun did not treat them particularly well. Instead, they arranged the identity of a captain and trained with the farmers.

And this is exactly what makes Chen Changping the most puzzled.

Because in addition to training with these farmers, as one of the guards in the village and one of Li Ze's servants, they would also be given a small meal at night, not only to read and recognize words, but also to learn to lead troops to fight. The lecturer sometimes is Tu Lichun, and sometimes is a man named Shi Zhuang.

The four Chen brothers were illiterate. Although they had the courage and had made a name for themselves in Henghai, they were completely unfamiliar with leading troops to fight. These small stoves undoubtedly opened another window for them, allowing Chen Changping to understand many things.

He even regretted that if he had understood these things, he might not have ended up like this. Or he would still lose, but he would definitely do something bigger.

Although I don’t understand what purpose Li Ze used to treat him like this, the knowledge is not fake. Chen Changping is like a sponge, desperately absorbing this knowledge. Chen Changan and Chen Changgui have the same feelings as him. Only Chen Changfu, the third brother in front of him, still has resistance, so that Chen Changping has to force him to do things and study honestly.

First, when people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads. Second, learning these things is indeed a benefit for them.

Knowledge is not something you can learn just by wanting to learn at this time, and to a certain extent, the military tactics taught by Tu Lichun and others are even more untold secrets.

Now that they can learn, they have made a lot of money.

Whether it is Tu Lichun or Shi Zhuang, they are definitely not ordinary people. Some examples they inadvertently cited when they were teaching can prove that they are definitely participants and have a good status. Otherwise, they would not have such an in-depth understanding, but why did they become Li Ze's servants?

The longer Chen Changping stayed in the village, the more he could not understand Li Ze. Before he knew it, he actually felt a sense of fear of Li Ze.

People always feel inexplicably afraid and afraid of what they cannot understand or what they do not understand.

Whether it is Tu Lichun or Shi Zhuang, they are far superior to him in terms of knowledge. They are not comparable to them at all. In terms of his proud force, they are not inferior. In the face-to-face fighting, Tu Lichun can completely defeat him without the power to fight back. Shi Zhuang is even more terrible. Under his hands, he can't take ten moves.

The only thing that makes me proud is that I am unparalleled in archery. For me, a hundred-step rush is just a start, and for them, it is a huge problem.

It is precisely because of this archery technique that I have also gained the respect of these two people.

With another hammer, Chen Changping looked at the splashing gravel, and some numbers suddenly flashed in his mind. The soldiers who saw in the mountains in the sky, plus the well-trained farmers in the village, Li Ze's subordinates actually had an elite army of thousands of people, which made him shocked.

What kind of person is Li Ze?

Waving the hammer, this question always circles in my mind.

Now his authority among these people has plummeted. What everyone is more in awe is the guy sent by Li Ze to serve as the head of Qingshan Tun. First, this person now controls everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and secondly, this person acts quite fairly. However, for the four brothers Chen Changping and the others, the relationship between these Tunmen is much more complicated.

Without Chen Changping, they might have died, but it was precisely because of Chen Changping that they were displaced and many of their relatives died on the road. Here, they suddenly discovered that they seemed to have a new world and a new life.

As for Li Ze, that is an existence they need to look up to. For them, this person is the benefactor of their rebirth of their parents. The food they eat, clothes they wear, cotton wool they cover at night, and even the land they are based on are all rewarded by this person.

Chen Changping could clearly feel this. When Chen Changfu scolded these people for being ungrateful, Chen Changping thought more and understood more.

Of course, this world should be like this. Whoever can give them peace and food will naturally support whoever they support. Could it be that they keep the good days in front of them, but instead are they willing to live a life of wandering around with themselves?

Who would be so stupid?

Although Li Ze seems to be trying hard to squeeze these people to work, in the eyes of these people, this is giving them a chance to survive.

Those who do not work are not allowed to eat.
