Leaving from the cave of the tiger-headed bee, Chu He did not continue to stay in the steelmaking field, but instead walked around Qinghe Village alone.

Compared with the tragic world outside, the current situation in Qinghe Village can definitely be called a paradise.

There are heavy rice in the fields, and there are children catching fish and shrimps in the valleys and streams, laughing constantly.

On the edge of the river are wooden fishing boats, and villagers are casting nets to catch fish.

On the bank of the river, there are villagers herding sheep, and half of them are watching to put groups of ducks.

Although Chu He put away all the fields and concentrated on farming, the villagers did not have nothing to do.

The young and strong who entered Qianyuanwei could already support a family of people, but the Nongfu and mountaineer could not live in it, and no one would think that the family had too much money and enough food.

Chu He’s plan for Qinghe Village will not leave the villagers idle.

The elderly and children can mow grass and feed wild boars and bison goats, and they can also dig earthworms to catch small fish to feed chickens and ducks.

Women can cut cloth and make clothes, and when they are young, they can fish with the fishing team, or cut down wood and burn charcoal. Some young and strong men who are not selected as Qianyuanwei can also go to mining ore, enter the steelmaking field, etc. Anyway, they can always find a job that suits them.

Chu Quan now has countless silver coins, so he is generous in his actions. He gives these villagers a lot of rewards, almost three times that of normal circumstances. The villagers' income in Qinghe Village is probably more than five or six times that of the past, and every family has a surplus.

There is no harm without comparison. When other refugees who fled to Qinghe Village, they would be more envious when they saw the situation in Qinghe Village. Except for some old stubborn people, most of them beg to change their surnames and join Qinghe Village.

After all, it feels really bad to be hungry. If you join Qinghe Village, you can get a rich life, so that your family can have food and clothing, and it is not unacceptable to change your surname.

Nowadays, the villagers in Qinghe Village all stand up when they go outside. When other villagers see them, they flatter and please them. The relatives who looked down on them in the past also showed extreme enthusiasm.

In the past, Qinghe Village was very poor. People in other villages were most afraid of marrying their daughters in Qinghe Village to return to their parents' homes. They basically came to borrow money and rice. Now it is different. Women in Qinghe Village always brought big bags and small bags when they returned to their parents' homes. From this we can see how great the changes in Qinghe Village have been.

The villagers of Qinghe Village all knew that everything was brought to them by Chu He, which made the villagers of Qinghe Village extremely happy and Chu He's luck continued to improve.

Chu He walked around Qinghe Village, and when he saw his villagers, they all looked respectful and said hello to Chu He enthusiastically, and Brother Chu kept shouting.

The children even showed great admiration for Chu He, and soon a large string of small tails followed behind Chu He.

After sending out thousands of iron coins, he finally got rid of the little tail behind him. When he returned to the Chu family mansion, Chu He took out the map of Datong County and frowned and looked at it.

A major historical strategy of later emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was to "build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king."

Chu He now has a large amount of silver and purchased a lot of grain and grass. The strategy of accumulating grain is well implemented. Obviously, the next thing is to build high walls and improve its protection and combat effectiveness.

The terrain of the entire Datong County is dangerous, in a shape of several shapes, surrounded by mountains and seas, and a Daqing River separates Datong County from the southern barbarians.

Qinghe Village is at the bottom of the long strip of Datong County, closest to Huyaling. Once Datong County is captured by the Yellow Turban Army, Wuqing Township, Changding Township and others will not have many places to defend according to the situation. Chuhe has the power at hand, and it is not realistic to fight against the enemy in a field battle.

If the people from the Southern Barbarians want to directly attack Datong County, they need to cross the wide Daqing River.

However, with the strength of the Southern Barbarians, it is not a big problem to cross the Daqing River. You can even walk around Datong’s abdomen without even having to pass through Datong County.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build a siege near Qinghe Village.

Even if Chu He intends to make a deal with Meng Huo, trading these things cannot be negotiated by Meng Qingtong alone. Without a reciprocal status, there is no way to start a transaction.

There is no doubt that Meng Huo is definitely a hero. He even plunders the luck of Meng Qingtong, his daughter, let alone an outsider.

Once Meng Huo knew the secret of the steelmaking field and did not have enough strength to protect it, Meng Huo would not be willing to trade real money, silver, food, grass, horses, etc. with him.

Huang Zhong and Gan Ning may be able to make Meng Huo afraid, but in the final analysis, the power he can control is the most stable and solid. Only by mastering a considerable amount of power can he be qualified to trade with Meng Huo.

Of course, Meng Huo could not put his main force in Datong County. After all, the Shu army immediately went south to suppress the rebellion. Meng Huo would definitely concentrate his troops to fight against the Shu army. It is probably just a few small tribes and small troops who came to Datong County. Chu He had to do what he wanted to do now, and just repel them.

No matter how strong the potential of the steelmaking field is, it will take time to convert it into combat power.

The generals under Meng Huo were afraid that they would have equipped steel weapons long ago and converted into combat power to the steelmaking field, so they would have to equip the army on a large scale. It would never be possible without three to five years. Meng Huo would not be so short-sighted.

Chu He took a charcoal pen and outlined it on the map for a long time, scratched and rubbed it, and it took two or three hours to plan the sketch of building the city.

The city plan extends to the small river outside Qinghe Village in the north, to the Wild Dog Valley more than ten miles away in the south, to the Yingchou Curve in the east, and to the west, and directly to the cliff of the sea.

It is a radius of thirty or forty miles and covers an area of ​​more than 900 square kilometers. It almost surrounds most of Changding Township, which is similar to a county and district in China on Earth. It is not a problem to live in a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people.

This is definitely an extremely huge project. Even if the city wall can be built based on the terrain, it is not easy to build the city walls with local materials.

However, Chu He did not intend to achieve it overnight, this is a long-term plan.

Even if many people here can be used as human-shaped construction machines, it is normal to move a thousand,800 kilograms of rocks. Even if there are refugees everywhere now, and giving a bite of food can bring out 100,000 people, Chu He thought that it would be acceptable to spend three or five years in such a large project.

Moreover, Chu He’s current plan is to build fortresses in dangerous places, and finally slowly connect each fortress.

Under normal circumstances, building a city like this far exceeds the scope of the village and is not allowed by the government, but at this time, who can still care about Chuhe’s illegal construction or not?

Chu He knew that even if Shu Kingdom could really calm the Southern Barbarian Rebellion, the next thing was to deal with the Great Wei, and it was impossible to send a large army. After three or five years, how could the Qinzhou City's troops be able to do anything to Chu He's Golden Bell Iron Army!

At that time, if the city of Shu Kingdom is in charge of demolishing illegal buildings, it depends on whether Chu He agrees or not.

This planning diagram is just a sketch. Chu He naturally has to ask others for his opinions on how to build it.

In addition, the situation suddenly changed. Seeing that the storm suddenly appeared, Chu He did not intend to let go of such a good opportunity to increase troops. If he wanted to completely control Changding Township, three thousand troops were indispensable.
