Huo Hai thought about it for the middle of the night last night, but he was not thinking about it randomly. He had more or less a feasible plan.

Therefore, the first thing he asked the king to do was to call the villagers to have a meeting.

"First of all, I must say sorry to everyone. Due to my reasons, you cannot leave here for the time being. However, I will help you make some preparations in advance that can help you get out of here better."

After Huo Hai's opening remarks, two large baskets were moved to everyone by Wang Dang. They were all filled with iron tools on Huo Hai's car. Everyone who has felt the practicality of the shovel heads Huo Hai took out knew that these were made of excellent fine iron. They even felt that these irons were very wasteful to use as agricultural tools. The iron used by the military generals of the court to build weapons was probably not as good as this.

"The ones in front of you are sickles, kitchen knives, hatchets, rakes, hoes, saw bows, and hacksaw blades. In addition, the shovel heads and daily ironware I had distributed to you yesterday, we have all of them.

Now, the first thing we have to do is to put a sickle, a rake, a hoe, a shovel that was randomly found in wood yesterday, make a smooth handle to get these tools first, and make these tools sophisticated. If you want to do something, you must first sharpen your tools." Huo Hai put out all the iron tools and classified them, and pointed them to everyone.

Everyone can accept iron tools such as kitchen knives, hatchets, and sickles. The difference between ancient and modern times is that there are some differences in shapes. However, for saw bows and hacksaw blades, everyone stared at them for a long time as if they were strange.

You should know that in this era, the logging and making utensils were mainly made of axes, chisels, and saws were invented by Ma Jun, who is still a child, when he grew up.

Huo Hai saw everyone's eyes looking at the saw bow, opened a box of hacksaw blades, installed one of them, and found a piece of wood and saw it for everyone to see it, which surprised the villagers.

"Everyone has seen that this saw can cut off wood, which is much more neat than an axe, and it saves effort. However, this kind of saw bow is too small to be able to see a big tree. Moreover, in order to maintain its hardness and softness, the saw blade is relatively poor. When twisting the saw, the saw blade is easy to break. Therefore, everyone should be careful when using it." Huo Hai handed the saw to a villager who was eager to try it.

This villager is named Wang Qiang, who is in his thirties. He is the main force in building houses and building simple furniture in the village. He has two skills.

Soon, he learned from Huo Hai's appearance, sawed a piece of wood, and said happily to everyone, "The design of this thing is really exquisite. With it, I can compete with the craftsmen in the city."

When others heard this, they also wanted to try their hand with saws. Without exception, after cutting the wood, they all felt it was easy to use, especially when neat wood was needed, which was much simpler and faster than cutting and cutting with an axe.

Huo Hai, who was watching them try to use a saw bow, also knew that in this era when everything needs to be done by themselves, the people have very strong hands-on ability. As long as they are given a full meal, they can burst out with physical labor ability that is much higher than that of later generations.

"Mr. Huo, you haven't said that after we have made these tools well, what should we do!" Wang Dang asked Huo Hai on behalf of everyone.

"The first thing you need to do is a car or a single wheel, which can take bumpy roads or even mountain roads. With it, you can bring the pots, pans, straw mats and clothes you use now, so that you won't carry them on your shoulders and backs. Not only will you be much faster when you get on the road, but you will also avoid having nothing when you find a place where you can survive and stay." Huo Hai explained to everyone.

Upon hearing this, many villagers nodded repeatedly.

This is their hometown where they have lived for decades. If they want to escape to another place, it is impossible to say that they are not nervous, but if they can take all their belongings with them, they will be much more at ease.

What are the common people most afraid of?

There is no pot when I want to cook, and there is no bowl when I want to eat.

Since everyone agreed, they started to do it immediately. There was no other thing in ancient society, but there was a lot of wood, especially when supplementing these agricultural tools and building such a wheelbarrow did not require any big wood. Soon, everyone started to do it in a hurry.

As the strongest labor force in the village, Wang Dang originally wanted to join it, but Huo Hai called him aside.

"I talked with Chu Yu yesterday. There are many big lakes near Heishan, with water in the lake and wetlands by the lake. If we can open some land in those places, we may be able to support ourselves next year."

In fact, the location Chu Yu and Huo Hai mentioned is the area of ​​Zaohuadian, Shaochedian and Baiyangdian, which is less than 50 kilometers away from Dawangdian Town in later generations. The location of Dawangdian Town is roughly the location of Chu Yan's gathering.

"Then let's go to Montenegro." Wang Dang made a decision immediately.

Huo Hai told him this, so he naturally wanted to let him go to Heishan. He said, "You don't know how many miles you have to go to Heishan here, and you don't know how long you will go. If you encounter any danger on the road, you must have the ability to protect yourself.

So, in addition to building cars, you also need to build some weapons to protect yourself. I have no experience in this regard. I heard yesterday that your father was a centurion in the army. Do you know this?"

"I understand a little, my father has taught me since I was a child."

After Wang Dang finished speaking, he took out a cloth-packed gun head from under the straw mat at home, about a foot long and made of fine iron. However, there were several gaps and some rust on it. A gun rod about nine feet long was taken out from the middle main ridge of the shack. If the gun head was to be installed on the gun rod, it would be about ten feet long. However, the gun head needs to be polished first.

"You just want to protect so many people in the village with this broken gun?" Huo Hai looked at Wang Dangdao who was walking out of the house with such an unreliable expression.

"Well, the gun is a bit broken, and it can be used even if it is grinding. However, there is more than this gun in our village. When my father returned to his hometown to be the Likui, he brought ten old subordinates here, and they all have descendants alive."

As Wang Dang said, he took the gun tip and the gun barrel and went to the crowd. Soon, the youngest and strong men in the village stood in front of Huo Hai.

The most grassroots organization in the Han Dynasty was the Shiwu Organization, with ten families, five families, and hundreds of families as one liter, and set up a Likui. Most of the grassroots cadres in the village were retired soldiers. You should know that the Han Dynasty was martial, and the soldiers who could serve as rank commanders, commanders, and centurions in the army were very powerful in combat.

After all, until the Han Dynasty was destroyed, there was basically no problem with a Han army fighting five Hu people, and the people with the "leader" should be stronger than ordinary soldiers.

However, those who stood in front of Huo Hai at this time were their descendants. Moreover, their long-term lack of food made them look very thin, and it is hard to say whether their combat effectiveness was half as high as their heyday.

"Li Kui should be more than 80 people?" Huo Hai was already feeling a little young and asked Wang Dang.

"When I took over my father's position, there were still more than 100 households in the village. However, in the past two years, there were droughts, some of them fled, some died, and some even went to make serfs for wealthy families. There were only 35 households left in the village, including 41 males over fourteen, 38 women over sixteen, and nine boys under ten, and girls, you know, the older ones were sold, and the smaller ones were discarded." Wang Dang explained in detail to Huo Hai.

"What about the older ones? I think there are not many elderly people over forty in the village." Huo Hai asked again.

Speaking of this, Wang Dang's face darkened again and lowered his head. After a while, he said, "There is a small hill on the left side of the village. There is a cliff on the back of the hill. If the old people feel that life is a burden, they will jump down at the cliff. I..."

Wang Dang did not continue to talk, but Huo Hai knew that he was probably one of the people who jumped off the cliff in order not to compete with future generations for food.

The topic suddenly became heavy. Huo Hai patted Wang Dang's shoulder and comforted, "These things have passed. We must live strongly so that the elderly will not sacrifice in vain and calm down. Next, we have a lot of things to do."

"Mr. Huo, just give me your orders, and we will obey the orders." Wang Dang took the lead and bowed his hand to Huo Hai and said.

"Very good. In addition to building vehicles that can transport things, we also need to create some self-defense weapons for everyone, even if they are made of wooden ones, which can help deter and drive them away.

In addition, there are many people and great power. If you can contact people from nearby villages to go together, it may be better. I believe that Chu Yan had plans to recruit them before."

When Huo Hai said this, he thrust his mouth towards Wang Dang's shack. Wang Dang immediately understood that with Chu Yu, at least, the food on the way to Heishan should be guaranteed.

"I'll take a few people to go there! The number of people may not be large, and the situation may be similar to ours." Wang Dang said in the errand.

"When you are at home, rely on your parents, and when you go out, the more people you can mobilize, the greater your strength will be after you go out. Therefore, it's okay to run away at all, and you still have several days." Huo Hai explained to him.

Wang Dang nodded and immediately asked Jiao Niang to pack some beans in cloth bags for herself and the few people she picked, and then set off. As for Huo Hai, he became the supervisor in the village.

Scythes, hoes, shovels, and rakes can be used as agricultural tools, but also as weapons. After being distributed to everyone, there is still a lot of leftovers. Huo Hai also matched several children with it.

Seeing that everyone had such strong hands-on ability, they made the wooden parts of various farm tools as required in half a day. He also asked everyone to cut a lot of pointed wooden spears and let several descendants of soldiers who knew some styles teach everyone to project, including women and children.

Once this thing is collectively projected, hundreds of bandits and bandits may not dare to approach it.

As for the wheelbarrow with the largest engineering volume, it needs to be explored and manufactured. After all, there is no bearing or tire in this era. You can only choose some wood to make it hard to push.

Fortunately, the wheelbarrow that Huo Hai wants to make does not need to be too big. The wheel circle is made of solid wood. The moving central axis is made of the hardest wood. Even if it is worn seriously, just replace the entire part of the central axis. Anyway, a wooden spare central axis and central axis ring are not very heavy, and they cannot occupy much space.

Taking the wisdom of everyone in the village, Huo Hai made a wheelbarrow in one afternoon. Everyone was very satisfied with the shape. The frame was more than one meter long and could hold a lot of things. He could even sit on it. Even if the load was more than 300 kilograms, it was not very difficult to push.

There are two supporting woods under the handle of the cart. If the person pushing the cart is tired, he can put the car down and rest without worrying about overturning. The most important thing is that it is really not restricted by the terrain. Even when walking on a mountain road or going up a steep slope, he only needs someone in front to use a rope to help pull it. The muddy road does not even hinder it.

When the weather gradually became dusk, the women started cooking beans again, and the men began to pack up their tools and prepare to rest, Huo Hai came to Wang Dang's house again. At this time, Chu Yu and Baoer, who had only eaten a bowl of noodles in the morning, were already hungry and roaring.
