Chapter 111 Black Bear Castle does not support idlers
【Happy Labor Day!】
Du Xuan nodded. With such a group of guards around him, not only his own safety has been improved, he can also become the cavalry that determines victory or defeat at critical moments on the battlefield.
"With the sudden increase of 20,000 people this time, there will be no problem with food, right?" Du Xuan asked.
"No. Some time ago, the Second Young Master sent people to bring a lot of food. As long as the winter passes, our Black Bear Castle will be able to cultivate a lot of fertile farmland. Our Black Bear Castle has vast land, and it is not a problem to support a hundred thousand people.
"Second brother has sent food?" Du Xuan said in surprise. Last time, the two of them got a lot of supplies from Mauihan City. However, Du Xuan had no intention of asking for it. I didn't expect that second brother would take the initiative to send it. It was just right.
Solved the biggest problem at the moment.
"Well, I was originally going to send a batch of war horses. I refused directly. We can't use the war horses, so getting them will consume a lot of fodder. There are thousands of dragon scale horses in Black Bear Castle, and they consume a lot of fodder every day. You
During the period after leaving Black Bear Castle, the castle organized a large number of people to collect fodder everywhere to ensure that there would be enough fodder to feed the dragon scale horses in the winter. This time, I was lucky and found a lot of dragon blood grass in the Eagle Cliff area. All of them were eaten.
We collected it. This dragon blood grass is very good for dragon scale horses. Those dragon scale horses fed with dragon blood grass have grown a lot. If there is enough dragon blood grass, ordinary dragon scale horses may be able to evolve into dragons.
Leader of the Scaled Horse." Yang Wanchai was very excited along the way and talked about a series of major and minor events in Black Bear Castle.
Although the population suddenly increased by 20,000 to 30,000, there is no need to worry about the problem of housing. The construction of Black Bear Castle has continued. The construction of houses has not stopped. It seems that such a day has been expected. In fact, this is also the same as Du
Xuan's plan for Black Bear Castle. Previously, Du Xuan formulated the construction plan for Black Bear Castle. Black Bear Castle has been constructed in accordance with Du Xuan's requirements. In Du Xuan's plan, Black Bear Castle will be built into a city in the future.
.Although it is unlikely to be built into an important town like Chiyang City, Du Xuan also hopes that the future Black Bear Castle will have a certain degree of defense.
Black Bear Fort is surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road leading to Chiyang Guard. It is extremely difficult to enter Black Bear Fort from other directions. It is very convenient to defend. Du Xuan plans to build passes at key passes based on the terrain of Black Bear Fort.
As long as a small amount of military force is sent, the main road of Black Bear Castle can be guarded. But for Black Bear Castle, it is an advantage and a disadvantage. Once the road to Chiyang Guard is blocked, Du Xuan's men will be trapped in Black Bear Castle.
.
For the 20,000 to 30,000 refugees who have just arrived, the houses in Black Bear Castle are low and simple. After all, they have all lived in Sichuan Fucheng. However, after walking through the gate of hell once, they no longer care about the simplicity here. Living is better than
Everything is important.
Xu Qiuxuan was extremely surprised by everything about Black Bear Castle. Black Bear Castle looked very small, just like an ordinary small town. But everything revealed that it was not simple.
"Sister Qiuxuan, what are you looking at? These are all wooden houses, and even the roofs are covered with bark. They are incomparable to those in Sichuan." Han Mengfu said.
"Mengfu, don't you think this place is special?" Xu Qiuxuan asked.
"What's so special?" Han Mengfu asked.
Xu Qiuxuan did not answer immediately, but turned to Han Xuezhen: "Brother, what do you think?"
Han Xuezhen is still confused. Where did he notice anything special about Black Bear Castle?
"Have you not noticed that everything here is very clean? The streets are not dirty at all. Although it is a very simple gravel road, it is smooth everywhere. Although the houses are low-rise two-story wooden houses, they are all very uniform, and the streets are criss-crossed.
, well organized, and being able to do this, I am afraid that the whole Daqi will be in this place. It can be seen that Mr. Du is really not simple. Senior brother, you should have agreed to Mr. Du's invitation from the beginning." Xu Qiuxuan said with some regret.
Han Mengfu looked around and didn't think there was anything remarkable about it. But Han Xue was really different. He was indeed talented. He had systematically learned the ways of government in the Confucian Temple. After a careful look, he could naturally see a lot of things.
Come.
"The houses here in Black Bear Castle were all built not long ago. They should have been built by Mr. Du. Therefore, it is not surprising that the streets are so unified. However, the streets can be so clean and the layout can be so large. Mr. Du does have great talent.
.The streets are very clean, without the stench of ordinary streets, which shows that Mr. Du is very strict with the people. No wonder he can bring out such a powerful cavalry battalion. Black Bear Fort is only a hundred-house fort, but Mr. Du actually has so many in his hands.
The strength of the troops is really bold." Han Xuezhen said.
Xu Qiuxuan sighed: "Brother, haven't you understood the way of the world? In today's troubled times, how can you survive without an army? If Mr. Du still follows the rules, how can he have the ability to fight against the barbarians? So what?
Can they save us from the barbarians? With such a large population, Black Bear Castle must have gathered a lot of refugees. The three of us can just talk about this. Senior brother must not talk about it in front of others." Xu Qiuxuan suddenly said
I am a little disappointed with Han Xuezhen. In Xu Qiuxuan's eyes, Han Xuezhen used to be a learned and motivated young man, but now, he has suddenly become so mediocre.
"Let's first think about how we will live in Black Bear Castle in the future. The population of Black Bear Castle has increased so much all of a sudden, which is probably even greater than the original total population of Black Bear Castle. How can such a small place support so many people?"
How many people? Winter is coming soon, and I don’t know how many people will freeze to death this winter." Han Xuezhen said.
"I don't think so. It can be seen from the street layout of Black Bear Castle that Mr. Du is very well-planned. If he can bring us to Black Bear Castle, he must have a way to solve the food problem for the winter. As soon as we come, there will be
The houses are inhabited. And they are not just crowded together. It shows that Mr. Du has long planned to accommodate refugees, so he prepared so many houses in advance." Xu Qiuxuan said.
"Black Bear Castle will not raise idle people. Even if Black Bear Castle has enough food, it will not give it to us refugees in vain." Han Xuezhen said.
Xu Qiuxuan agreed with this point and nodded: "But what can we do?"
This question soon had an answer.
After the newly arrived refugees were settled, they were gathered on the training ground.
"Black Bear Castle does not support idle people! Every grain of food in Black Bear Castle is cultivated by every citizen of Black Bear Castle. It cannot be provided to newcomers like you in vain. We give porridge to the newly arrived refugees.
I guarantee that you will not starve to death, but if you want to have enough to eat, you have to rely on your own labor. Before winter comes, we will reclaim more wasteland. A lot of logging and plowing work requires a lot of manpower to complete. You reclaim the land.
The wasteland is prepared for you to cultivate next year. Black Bear Castle will provide you with seeds..."
Du Feng stood on the high platform, holding a large iron cylinder and shouted loudly towards the audience.
