Chapter 89 Tiger Head Fort

readx;

In order to allow the refugees to leave early, the county borrowed dozens of taels of carriages and horses from various shops and arranged a lot of yamen runners to help. As the sun just came out, the large shack by the moat in Nancheng had been demolished. Although Liu Jun had given everyone a silver medal, everyone was reluctant to leave anything useful.

A pottery bowl, a wooden basin, or even a broken piece of felt, were all packed and taken away.

The elderly, children and women with small feet were in the car, while the men carried various shabby household items brought out of the shack. The older children also followed their parents with one or two household items.

Thousands of people moved, and the scene was very lively. Outside the south gate, many people from the county also came to watch. They watched these neighbors who were often seen but strange. Some people showed happiness in their eyes, and these poor men finally left. Some people were envious. Although they were local people in their hometowns, and some even lived in the county, they actually did not live better than these foreigners.

It turned out that it might be better, but now, these foreigners are about to live a good life, but they still have to go tomorrow and tomorrow.

From the county town to Hutou Pass, it is 70 miles apart. Fortunately, I walk on Guanghuang Avenue, which is a large commercial road connecting Guangzhou, Henan and Huangzhou, Huguang, and is very flat.

The team walked forward, resting for a short time for every five miles and resting for ten miles. Halfway through the journey for forty miles, he stopped to have a meal.

When the team arrived at the Hutou Pass Inspection Office, the sun was about to disappear into the mountains.

The inspection office has a large area, with about dozens of acres of land inside, and there are many houses, but there will definitely not be enough to accommodate these thousands of people.

Fortunately, the Inspection Office is stuck at the necessary place on the road, so over the years, dozens of shops, including tea shops, inns, restaurants, warehouses, etc., have been built around the official hall of the yamen. These shops are next to the official hall and are built along both sides of the road, making the Hutouguan Inspection Office a street of about 100 meters.

It was not too early and it was too late to build a shed and build a house, so Liu Jun placed these people in each store. Most of the shops were front shops and back shops, or the houses behind. Everyone could barely live there. Anyway, it was still summer, and there was a tiled tiles to block the wind.

"From tomorrow, I will build some simple sheds to give everyone a place to settle down, and then cut down trees to build a house." Liu Jun arranged.

Although everyone was very tired after walking for a day. On the first day of Hutou Pass, there was not even a shed, but everyone was still very happy.

After dark, piles of bonfires were burned on the open space of the playground outside the official hall of Hutouguan. Liu Jun asked the members of the Jiutou Bird who had moved there to take out the prepared wine and meat and start cooking, and everyone celebrated this new beginning together.

The next morning, just as dawn, Hutou Pass was already lively. More than a thousand people were added at once, and the town was unprecedentedly lively. Many smart businesses were coming like cats smelling fishy smells.

They came with carriages, trolleys, and various goods. Some people had a deal, not to mention that there were more than a thousand people who had just moved in. Everyone knew that these people had just received a sum of money for the new family. To install the new family, they would definitely have to buy many new houses, pots, pans, clothes, bedding, mats, etc.

Even Liu Jun's father-in-law Lu Weizhang rushed over in person, leading a large convoy, dozens of people, and pulling more than a dozen trucks of goods.

"What do you need, tell me directly." Lu Weizhang jumped out of the carriage, pointed at the goods behind, and said in a very generous manner.

Liu Jun said gratefully, "I will stay here for hundreds of brothers and more than a thousand people in the future. I do need a lot of things. First of all, what I need is a house. It is impossible for so many people to stay open."

Lu Weizhang patted his chest, "Building a house is easy, hire some craftsmen, and as long as the materials are sufficient, you have so many people here, half a month is enough. Leave these to me, just take your soldiers, and I will help you with these other things."

His daughter and Liu Jun have officially gotten married and will get married soon. Therefore, Lu Weizhang's attitude towards Liu Jun has also changed drastically, and he completely regards him as his family. If he wants to be an official here, he must of course fully support him.

With a shrewd businessman like Lu Weizhang, Liu Jun also happily handed over the logistics matter to him. Except for the 390-headed bird team members, Liu Jun also transferred out the 200 refugees, and all the remaining men, women, young and thousands of people were handed over to Lu Weizhang to command.

Lu Weizhang became Liu Jun's logistics chief supervisor. The first task Liu Jun assigned to his father-in-law was to build a toilet first, and more than one. More than a dozen toilets were built inside and outside the inspection office, especially several large toilets with dozens of squatting pits.

"What are you doing to build so many thatched houses? Don't you have to build a house first?" Lu Weizhang was a little puzzled.

"It is important to ensure cleanliness. The military book of the Tang Dynasty War God Li Jing once wrote that the first thing a large army set up a camp is to dig a toilet, which shows the importance of this small thatched cottage. Now there are more than two thousand military and civilian vendors here. There are so many people here, but there are not many thatched slumbers. It is inconvenient to urinate and defecate anywhere. It is not easy to say that the stench is not bad, and it is not clean. If you don't say that the smell is stinky, it is very likely to cause some epidemics."

Liu Jun not only wanted to build a toilet, but also a bathroom.

However, only three bathrooms are built, one is in the inspection city and the other is a large public bathroom, which is specially used by the soldiers. The other two bathrooms are located at the north and south ends of the street outside, one is a male bathroom and one is a female bathroom, both of which are large bathrooms that can accommodate dozens of people.

"It is very important to keep your body clean and prevent diseases." Liu Jun's reason is very legitimate and important.

Lu Weizhang did not object, but Liu Jun participated in the construction and design of the bathroom. "You can't just build such a large bathtub, you have to build a shower room." Liu Jun carefully explained to Lu Weizhang and the craftsmen he invited that it was not difficult to add a bath, but the difficulty was how to get water.

However, this is not a problem in Liu Jun's eyes. Just build a few water towers, fetch water from the well, then use pulleys to lift it into the high water tower, and then connect a bamboo tube from the water tower to the bathroom. Because of the height difference between the water tower and the bathroom, there is tap water in the bathroom.

Although we have to fetch water into the water tower first, there is no shortage of people here.

Toilets and bathrooms are the first batch to be built, then the canteen and finally the housing.

Considering the location of Hutou Pass, Liu Jun personally designed the residence.

The house he designed was actually equivalent to the Hakka earthen building. The house was built into a circular fortress shape, with four floors designed and civil engineering to be made. There are fifty-three rooms on the ground floor, fifty-six rooms on each floor above the second floor, the kitchen on the ground floor, the granary on the second floor, and the bedroom on the third and fourth floors. There are 72 staircases connected to the entire building, and there are no windows on the second floor of the ground floor, there are patios and inner and outer ring passages.

This is completely a fortress, or it can be called Yuanzhai.

One building is a fortress, with more than fifty households living in each building. Liu Jun plans to build nine buildings. After the building is completed, these nine fortress buildings will be surrounded by Hutouguan Yamen. This is a castle group. Even if there are thieves siege, they will not be able to easily capture it.

The earthen building is not a rare thing, and the craftsman recognized it at a glance. Moreover, he could build such a building, but it was just a rammed earth wall, which took more work hours. Moreover, this building has four floors, more than fifty rooms on the floor, which is very large.

"This is much more expensive than building a wooden house."

"Can it be made?"

"Yes." The master said with certainty.

"If you can build it, just build it like this." Liu Jun did not have money to burn it, but had to consider it from many aspects. In the next few years, Huguang will be a place of chaos, and all parties will fight. If you build a wooden building, it is not enough for others to burn it. Since you want to build it, you can build a stronger one while there is still time.

It is definitely worth spending more money now.

This kind of building is actually not difficult. The key is to spend manpower. A large amount of soil has to be filled in the rammed earth wall, and it has to be compacted. However, manpower is the least valuable, and Liu Jun thinks there is no problem.

After confirming these matters, Liu Jun threw the logistics to Lu Weizhang and ignored it.

Liu Jun began to lock up the inspector's Yacheng and no longer cared about the chaos and hustle and bustle outside. He now began to train his team.

The above reply has arrived, and Liu Jun was officially appointed as the chief of the Macheng County Governor's Training Office, from the eighth rank.

Within just a few days, Liu Jun was officially appointed as the inspector of the ninth rank, and was immediately promoted to the chief of the eighth rank. However, according to the agreement between Liu Jun and Lu Jinxi, after Liu Jun was promoted to the chief of the county regiment, he still served as the inspector of Hutouguan and was in charge of Taiping Post. In a word, the land in Taiping Township was basically handed over to Liu Jun.

The banner of the Tuanjian County Tuanjian in Huangzhou, Huguang has been built and fluttered high in the Yacheng City covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. Now, this is not only the official hall of the Hutouguan Inspection Office, but also the Macheng County Tuanjian Camp, with two signs of one Yacheng District.

The members of the Nine-Headed Birds have also become the courage to train in the county troupe. However, Liu Jun still retains the banner of Nine-Headed Birds. Nine-Headed Birds have now become the symbol of Macheng troupe. Macheng troupe is also called Nine-Headed Birds.

On the martial arts performance field in Yacheng.

In the stance of more than 500 people, the former team members were the ones who stood in the middle.

On the left are 12 new team members recruited by Taiping Township. Although they have not joined for a long time, they have already used long gun battle formations outside Hutou Pass and used fifty thief heads to prove themselves. Standing there at this time, although in the eyes of the old team members, they are still just a group of new team members, but in their own hearts, they are already old team members. They use the eyes of the old team members of the Nine-Headed Bird to look at the more than 100 new team members on the right.

The more than 100 new refugee team members recruited from Macheng County were wearing brand new military uniforms that had just been issued, and they couldn't help but look around.

Behind these three teams, there is a team of 200 people, which is also from the wolf district of the county town. They were recruited by Liu Jun as workers, and now they are standing here as team members. However, they are not yet considered formal members of the Nine-Headed Bird, but they can only be considered reserve members and they can practice normally. However, after the workshop is built, they will be workers. Occasionally, they will practice one game every five or ten, and they can only be considered reserve members.

Standing on the stage, Liu Jun swept over these more than 500 faces, most of which were strange.

He looked to the side, but he looked at it for a moment. Only then did he remember that Li Chunjiang had left Huguang and went to Nanjing.

From then on, he was the only one who led the nine-headed bird!

This is his new team!
