Chapter 36: Factory Guard
"Lord, this won't work. We can't keep so many people in vain. We must let them do something."
Looking at the huge amount of food spent every day, Antai felt very painful. He has now gradually integrated himself into the Liu Feng group.
"What do you think they can do?"
Liu Feng also had a headache. Although each person only gave him a bowl of porridge every day, 80,000 people combined would be a huge expense. It would not be a big deal if it weren't for a drought. It would be fine if they weren't for a drought, so they could be allowed to reclaim the land. After all, it would be the beginning of spring in a few days. But when will God be willing to rain?
At this moment, bursts of cheers suddenly came from outside.
"Lord, it's raining, it's raining outside!"
Pang Bin lifted up the hem of his green robe with one hand and ran in from outside. His face was full of ecstasy. He could see that his shoulders and hair were wet.
“It’s raining?”
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then walked out quickly. The gray sky was drizzling at this time, and his eyes lit up, "This is really timely rain."
"God finally opened his eyes."
An Tai stared at the sky with a pair of turbid eyes, with a complicated expression. Then he suddenly thought of something and suggested to Liu Feng: "Lord, Shangyang County has become an empty city. I think these people can be placed in Shangyang County and let them repair the city walls and reclaim the land."
When Liu Feng heard this, he fell into deep thought. Since it was raining, the drought that had lasted for so many years might be over. In a few days, it will be the beginning of spring, and then it will be spring plowing. He has the system in hand and does not need to force the people to fight against the court like Chen Sheng. He can rely on the city and steadily expand his territory and grow stronger.
Shangyang County has a good geographical location, with a basin in the middle and continuous mountains on three sides. From the south, Yinyang and Anyang counties can be used as their stable rear.
As for the people of Shangyang County, they were swept by Chen Sheng to fight against the court, it is still unknown whether they could survive, let alone come back.
After making up his mind, he nodded, "Well, yes, you and Pang Bin are responsible for this matter, but Shangyang County is too small and must be expanded. It must accommodate at least 200,000 people. What kind of personnel are needed? Go to the yamen to choose. By the way, when you register for household registration, remember to pay attention to whether there are talents that can be used by me."
The hungry people outside came from different places. After being sent to Shangyang County, they would definitely have to re-register for management.
"Yes! Lord!"
An Tai and Pang Bin responded respectfully.
After the two left, Liu Feng called Yang Rong over and asked him to recruit young and strong men for training from tomorrow. After all, with the four captured counties, he now has the territory of six counties. You must know that there are only fourteen counties in the entire Laiyang Prefecture.
These county towns cannot be controlled by the sent government personnel alone, and they also need garrisons to deter and maintain order.
Since it started to rain, the sky seemed to have opened the gates, and the rain became heavier and heavier. At night, it turned into heavy rain, and the world turned into white. The dry pond in the back of the yamen had already overflowed, and the water in the yard was not over.
"Damn it, it rained so heavily at this time!"
Li Shun walked through the tunnel with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Because the rain was too heavy, it had penetrated into the tunnel. At this time, the turbid mud water was already deep in the calf, which caused great obstacles to their excavation work.
"Sir, the back house of the yamen is above it, but the water seeps so hard that you can't continue to dig up, otherwise it will collapse."
Huang San said to Li Shun who was walking in.
"Everyone has worked hard these days. Let's take a break first and wait until the rain stops. By the way, find some wood and planks to support it. If it really collapses, we will lose all our efforts."
Li Shun sighed at the top of the water that was constantly dripping. The weather was not good, and he had no choice but to hope that the rain would stop as soon as possible.
God seems to have to finish the rain that has not been falling over the years at once. The heavy rain has been falling for two days and two nights in a row without stopping. There is more and more water in the city, and the people in the yamen have to organize people to start dredging the waterway in the heavy rain.
"It's finally time."
In the yamen, Liu Feng finished processing the government affairs sent and immediately opened the system. The optional task had already shown its completion status. He immediately chose to receive the reward, got 50 points in training and unlocked a special military: Factory Guard.
Compared with several other troops, Liu Feng finally chose the famous factory guard, the reconnaissance agency of the Ming Dynasty inner court.
After unlocking this army, he found that the factory guards not only refer to the Jinyiwei, but also the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Insider Factory. The four are collectively called the Factory guards. In other words, when he recruited the Factory guards, in addition to the Jinyiwei, there would also be such a Dongfa series.
"Not bad, good, buy one get three free."
Liu Feng opened the system. Because the two armies that went to the expedition captured four counties, his merit points also reached 11,180 points. However, there were not many defenders in the four counties, so the merit values he received were far less than those when he was defending the city.
Considering that the functions of the Jinyiwei and Fanzi were different, Liu Feng spent 200 points of merit and summoned 100 Jinyiwei and 100 Fanzi each.
As the points of merit decreased, two groups of people appeared out of thin air in the yard outside. These people lined up in neatly, lined up on the left and right, clearly separated.
On one side is a Jinyiwei wearing a flying fish suit made of silk, silk, silk in the cloud brocade, and a spring sword embroidered with a spring sword. On the other side is a sharp hat, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small ribbons.
Although the black armored guards around the yard looked curious, they were not surprised. After all, they were also recruited by Liu Feng in this way. In their memory, the lord Liu Feng was the object of their loyalty to death, and the god who created and gave them life.
“See the Lord!”
Two hundred factory guards were wet in heavy rain and knelt on one knee. The movements seemed to have been practiced thousands of times, and they saluted Liu Feng in an orderly manner.
The feeling these factory guards gave Liu Feng was very different from the original primitive soldiers. First of all, the temperament of the factory guards gave people a dark feeling, like a lurking poisonous snake, which gave people a fatal blow at any time. Secondly, the figure was. Although they were all men in high-end costumes, their figure was not as tall and burly as the thief.
"You fight him empty-handed."
Liu Feng casually ordered an Jinyiwei and a black armored thief guard.
When the two heard the order, they immediately walked forward. The black-armored thief guard was one taller than the Jinyiwei's neck and head, and his body was almost twice as big as the Jinyiwei. However, when the two fought, the thief guard did not even have time to react, so he was fainted by the Jinyiwei.
Liu Feng only saw the Jinyiwei's hand flashing for a moment, and the battle ended.
