03Rapid development
After giving the wheat seeds and fertilizers provided by the system to the village chief of Wangjia Village as gifts and explaining the precautions, Jiang Li started planning.
The third master was sent by Jiang Li to recruit refugees.
The remaining people, except for the ten young men who were forcibly accepted as soldiers by Jiang Li, the others devoted themselves to the improvement of Wangjia Village.
All feces are removed outside the village, downwind. Roads were plowed and houses pushed to be rebuilt. Fortunately, there were many trees around, plus the title of Immortal on Jiang Li's head, and a sufficient supply of meat, it only took less than seven days for the entire village to be completely renewed.
In these seven days, Sanye recruited more than 200 refugees from outside. This is already the limit. Unless there is another large influx of refugees into Shenyang, it will be difficult to attract more refugees.
After all, even if the refugees are having a hard time, they still believe in the government.
But they don't know that the court, under the leadership of the self-righteous Donglin Party, only cares about fighting for power and profit, and has no control over them.
"Master Immortal, everyone has been selected." The third master's voice came from outside the door. Ever since he witnessed Jiang Li conjuring food, the third master regarded Jiang Li as an immortal in his heart and became more and more respectful.
"I know I'll come out right now."

"Those who are good at bows and arrows and those who are experienced in using muskets will go out."
"Twenty of you will compete on site, and the top 10 will be eligible to use the artifact."
Although he has obtained no less than 30 Bayi-type horse rifles and 6,000 rounds of ammunition through hanging up in the past few days, Jiang Li currently only plans to recruit 30 people. After all, the system hangs up and is not under my control. Who knows what rewards will appear?
Marksmanship is fed by bullets. No matter how talented a person is, he still needs bullets to feed him, right?
The barrel and bullets of the Type 81 horse rifle, let alone the Ming Dynasty, cannot be made even if all the skilled craftsmen from all countries are put together.
Jiang Li left half of the August 1-type horse rifle behind, wasn't it just to avoid the embarrassing situation of having no guns to use?
Soon the winner was determined among the 20 people. In the end, ten people including Jiang Long, Jiang Zhihao, Jiang Meng, Wang Man, and Wang Lin stood out and entered the top ten. Jiang Li also took out ten 81-type horse rifles in front of everyone and handed them to ten people, asking them to train with Jiang Li.
The remaining strong man Jiang Li did not let them idle, building roads and building checkpoints, neither of which required labor.
It is almost 10 miles from Wangjia Village to Guandao Road, and Jiang Li plans to build five forts. Convenient for garrison and defense as well as early warning.
According to the estimate of Sanye and the others, if they want to complete the project, it will take at least one month. This is God's mercy. If it rains, it will take two months.
In order to complete the construction as soon as possible, Jiang Li planned to go to Shenyang City to turn the refugees back.
"Tea eggs are on sale. Fresh tea eggs cost 1 penny each." In Shenyang City, Jiang Li, Jiang Long and others were pushing a small cart and started selling them casually.
When I entered Shenyang City again, I wanted to recruit some people from the refugee camp under the guise of recruiting workers, but when I arrived, I discovered that the refugee camp had been taken over by the army. I want money from refugees to buy it. 50 cents each.
Jiang Li was penniless, so he had no choice but to come up with the idea of selling tea eggs. Anyway, he had at least 100,000 tea eggs in his system backpack. It's just right to exchange for money.
"Boss, give me ten coins." A wrinkled old man handed over ten coins. Recently, the price of grain has increased to 2 taels of silver per stone, which works out to 13 copper coins per pound of rice, and ten tea eggs per pound, which is much more cost-effective than buying grain.
"for you."
"Boss, I'll also come with ten." Someone started, and soon people came to the door. In a short time, the two of them sold no less than 2,000 tea eggs.
"I've packed all the tea eggs the boss still has." A soldier in a tattered military uniform shouted hurriedly.
"There are 500 more. Counting 50 coins, I hope the military master will be full and build slaves." Jiang Li secretly took out 500 tea eggs and put them into the box and handed them to the soldier.
"The soldier almost lost his grip when he took it." At the same time, he thought to himself, this boy is so strong. It's a pity that he is too small, otherwise he would definitely be a strong player.
During this time, Jiang Li added all attribute points to his strength. Jiang Li's strength has reached one point and one times that of an adult. A little stronger than the average adult, otherwise Jiang Li would not dare to risk coming to Shenyang.
"My name is Liu Mazi. If you have any trouble in the future, please report my name."
.....
"Jiang Long, take two people to the refugee camp to buy 40 people and come back. You can use the remaining 50 coins to buy some salt later."
One month passed in a flash. This month, a total of 2,000 people gathered in the small Wangjia Village, of which more than 1,400 were refugees purchased through the government.
The number of people in the team directly under Jiang Li also reached 200. Only 100 of them were equipped with Bayi-type horse rifles, and the remaining 100 were equipped with broadswords and shields.
The roads and fortresses planned by Jiang Li have been completed. Except for the first fort, which is stationed with 10 soldiers equipped with August 1 horse rifles, the other five forts are only stationed with 2 soldiers.
The fortress is 6m high, has 2 floors, is 1 palm thick, and is made of bricks. Each level of the fort was surrounded by firing holes. Easy to shoot.
Except for the No. 1 fort near the pipeline that completely blocks the road and requires five gates to be opened for entry and exit, the remaining four forts have set aside a 1m-long road where horses can be kept. When they need to pass, they can take the horses away. Open for quick access.
"Consumption of idle time: 2800 minutes"
"Hang up rewards: +2 attribute points, 200 cups of soy milk, 300kg of beef, 100kg of chicken, 100kg of pork, 10,000 tea eggs, 20 tons of rice, 20 tons of flour, 100 cabbage, 10 pounds of vermicelli. Bayi-style horse rifle 20, 4,000 rounds of ammunition. 20 Type 67 wooden handle grenades.”
"Attributes are added to physique."
Host: Jiang Li
Speed: 2
Strength: 2
Constitution: 2
"I don't know if every 0.1 point added in the process from 2 to 3 has increased tenfold."
"Forget it, let's forget it for now. My speed, strength, and physique are twice that of an adult now. As long as I don't commit suicide, there shouldn't be any big problem."
"Cut the pork into long slices, blanch it in boiling water, remove the blood foam, pick it up, heat the oil in a pot, stir-fry the pork, add the soaked vermicelli and washed cabbage, and you will have a pot of fragrant pork and cabbage in just one step. The stewed vermicelli is done.”
Pour in the steamed rice and hurry to eat before it comes. A piece of bad news has been spread. A Jiannu has discovered Fortress No. 1.
Some people died, but not completely...
