After the children's affairs were settled, Wang Keyue began to arrange things for the adults. Although they could not go out to work in winter, they could work in the factory building in the industrial zone that had already taken shape.
The largest factory in the industrial zone is the cotton product industry. Among them, quilts are the best assembly lines. Cotton selection, cotton bombing, quilt cover sewing, and quilt boxing all require a large number of workers.
Those with good physical fitness were directly incorporated into the defense team. Wang Keyue selected a few soldiers with minor injuries from the wounded and sick, and asked them to lead these refugees with no foundation to practice the basics first, and then wait for these people's After laying a solid foundation, she recommended several skilled subordinates to Xiao Hongyu to teach martial arts.
Those who are elderly or in extremely poor health are not idle. According to their personal expertise, most of them are tending the fields, and some are making various baskets from the collected vines. These baskets can be bought after the spring. Good price.
There are also some who work in Wang Keyue's food processing factory. The main processed food is to use the flour in Wang Keyue's space to make dry noodles and instant noodles. Most of these will be directly provided to Xiao's soldiers as rear food and grass. , part of which will be sold to various places in Daqin after the beginning of spring.
In short, there are many methods for making handicrafts in Wang Keyue's space, but currently there is no way to implement them on a large scale due to lack of manpower.
Currently, the entire Great Qin Dynasty is experiencing internal and external troubles, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier. While the Crescent Gang is thriving and developing rapidly, the capital of Qin, hundreds of kilometers away, is already in chaos.
Because that group of invading barbarians, under the coordination of the Qin capital's spies, quietly sneaked into the Qin capital of Great Qin.
At this moment, the Emperor of Qin was still pretending to be seriously ill, but in fact he was still playing in the harem with many beautiful concubines.
On the day of the Beginning of Winter in the year 152 AD of the Great Qin Dynasty, while Wang Keyue was still inspecting the sect school, she suddenly received a long-awaited mandatory mission issued by Xiaobao:
"Mandatory mission: User 9538 needs to save the lives of 10,000 Daqin people within the next three days, complete the mission, and obtain relevant rewards. If the mission is not completed, 50% of all current gold coins and 50% of health points will be deducted. .So in the next three days, please work hard!”
Wang Keyue looked at these tens of thousands with red and enlarged numbers in horror, and felt a kind of creepiness in her heart.
At the same time, the communicator on his wrist also rang. The caller was Xiao Hongyu, and Wang Keyue had a sixth sense that something was going on.
"Yue'er, the Humanzi army has raided Qindu. Now there are 50,000 Humanzi soldiers heading towards Qindu. It is estimated that they will attack Qindu early in the morning. Daqin is probably in chaos now." Xiao Hongyu said. The sound was urgent.
"Brother Xiao, what should we do? Are you leading troops to Qindu?" Wang Keyue was still undecided for a while.
"My army can't leave here yet, Yue'er. Once Xiao's soldiers leave the northwest city wall, the watching barbarians will attack immediately. By then, it is estimated that the entire plain will be invaded by barbarians." Xiao Hongyu was also helpless. Now, most of his more than 10,000 soldiers are stationed on the city wall. The 10,000 new recruits he recruited later still don't know anything, and they will be killed if they go there.
But Xiao Hongyu and Wang Keyue couldn't bear to watch the people die under Hu Manzi's sword!
"I want to take some people to rescue the refugees who escaped from the city. If I can save some, it's worth it! Anyway, we are short of people now." Wang Keyue said.
"Then you pick me up first, and I'll go with you. I recently got another good thing. Maybe your plan can be implemented." Xiao Hongyu said.
Wang Keyue was delighted and immediately began to prepare for action. A quarter of an hour later, Wang Keyue piloted the spaceship directly to Xiao's military camp after giving instructions to the sect.
In Zhongjia Village, the capital of Qin in the Great Qin Dynasty, the big stone who was fighting with Goudan in the village for a bird egg the day before was told by the adults in his family that he was asked to stay home alone with his many younger siblings because early this morning, All the adults in the family have to go to the village ancestral hall to gather for a meeting.
Da Shitou is 12 years old this year and is already a standard young man. Although he lacks food and clothing due to the drought this year, Da Shitou is naturally bold, has good physical strength and is very energetic. He leads the whole family of four children to hunt hares in the mountains. They collected wild fruits, climbed trees to dig out bird eggs, caught wild snakes, and even caught large insects under rocks. Therefore, in the whole village, Zhong Laoliu and his family lived a pretty good life.
But damn it, before this drought is over, the entire Zhongjia Village is about to be wiped out by all kinds of corvee labor.
The year before last, it was said that to fight against the barbarians, one soldier was selected from each household, so among Zhong Laoliu's three sons, Sanlang went to serve in the military.
In May of last year, it was said that the Emperor of Qin needed to collect corvee labor to build a summer resort for the emperor in a royal forest, so Erlang of the Zhong family was recruited again.
When the corvee workers finished their work in the villa in October, they were not allowed to go home. They were sent directly to the military camp. They were told that the war ahead was urgent and a large number of soldiers were needed. This was equivalent to the military service of that year. . l
But this year, the entire Qin Dynasty is facing the disaster of drought, and the court has no remedial measures or treatment plans. This year, various taxes are still levied, and the people are in dire straits. People in many places have moved their families. They would rather become illegal households without household registration than stay in the country. A place to die.
"Everyone, today the official is here to announce a court decree to us. Are all the families here?" The patriarch of Zhongjia Village kept order at the scene while counting people.
Not long after, three or four officials came with a decree in their hands. They seemed quite anxious. They only said hello to Patriarch Zhong and then started reading out the decree.
The general meaning of this decree is to levy grain. In addition, to levy military service, if there is a male in a family, five taels of silver or ten shi of grain will be levied.
Everyone collapsed instantly. Many families in the village had no men for a long time. Even if they did, they were all children or elderly people. The number of soldiers in each household was as high as two. In this way, the court was still collecting military service. Do you want anyone to live?
The officials left in a hurry. They still needed to go to the next village to read out the government order. The villagers stayed in place, hugging each other and crying, unwilling to leave for a long time.
On the morning of the third day after the announcement of military service, before the villagers had time to react, they heard another even more terrifying thing. This was Zhong Laoliu, who was doing chores in the largest restaurant in the capital of Qin. The elder man of the family accidentally passed by outside the private room and quietly heard the discussion of the nobles inside.
In fact, Zhong Sanlang was ready to leave. After all, the restaurant had regulations not to eavesdrop on the conversations of the guests. However, the people inside did not suppress their voices. Furthermore, what the people inside said made him so horrified that he forgot to leave.
