When everyone heard this, they all secretly wiped the sweat from their foreheads. They couldn't level the mountains with so many mountains even if they spent their entire lives shoveling them!
Chu Chengfeng stopped talking. He decided that when he was free, he ran into the mountains and looked for the Black Wind Village's lair. He didn't believe it and couldn't find it.
After visiting these mountains, Fu Manman asked Wang Hongcheng where was suitable for land reclamation nearby.
These people she brought will need to eat in the future. If they don’t work but eat, there won’t be enough to feed them in this Shili Town.
Wang Hongcheng was not polite and happily took Fu Manman to a barren mountain and plain near the water source and said: "Miss Fifth, there is farmland in this place."
"Okay, from today on, everyone will work from sunrise to sunrise every day, and come here to open up wasteland." Fu Manman said to everyone.
A group of refugees looked at the vast wasteland and mountains with grimaces on their faces.
How to open up wasteland in these barren mountains and how to grow crops in these mountains?
Everyone complained one after another. At this time, a middle-aged woman came over, knelt in front of Fu Manman, and said with a sad face: "Miss, we thank you for saving us from the bad guys. We also miss you very much."
I’ll work for you, but how are we going to open up wasteland in this mountain?”
As soon as this aunt opened her mouth, others who had not dared to speak began to speak too.
"These are all mountains, there is no way to open up wasteland!"
"And it's almost winter, and wild beasts are running rampant in the mountains and forests. This is simply a life-threatening situation!"
Fu Manman sat on the horse and looked down at the group of refugees in front of her. She also knew their difficulties and worries.
It is true that these mountains are difficult to open up wasteland, but when she took everyone to Heifeng Village, she turned several hills into fertile farmland with her hands.
"Everyone, do you believe me?" Fu Manman asked.
Everyone looked at each other. They believed it before, but now they can’t believe it.
"We believe! We believe you." It was the Yu family's uncle who spoke.
Although Miss Fu did not recognize them along the way, they always believed that Miss Fu would definitely save their family.
Look, they are all living well as a family now.
Came here alive.
"I believe it too! Miss, you saved us." said the rescued ladies in the village.
After a while, everyone was led and they all said they believed it.
Fu Manman then looked at Chu Chengfeng and said to him, "Do you believe me?"
Chu Chengfeng's face was expressionless and serious. It was obvious that he didn't believe it, "The frost is about to fall, and this winter will be extremely cold."
"You don't believe me, but I have to create a miracle for you to take a good look at." Fu Manman curled his lips and smiled, his eyes very confident.
"I will teach you how to open up these mountains. The first thing we need to do is cut down trees to prepare enough wood for heating this winter." Fu Manman said to everyone.
The lady spoke, and everyone immediately felt at ease and had a goal.
If the lady says to cut down the trees, then cut down the trees.
Chu Chengfeng frowned and thought, can we open up wasteland by cutting down trees? We still can't grow food in that mountain.
But at least now everyone has something to do, so he can think of other ways? Go look around to see if there is a place more suitable for land reclamation.
The mountains here are really not suitable.
"Auntie, come here! What's your name?"
Fu Manman suddenly waved to the aunt who had just stood up to question her.
Chu Chengfeng asked nervously: "What are you going to do?"
If she dared to attack this aunt, he would stop her.
Fu Manman rolled his eyes at him and snorted coldly: "What can I do? Put away your prejudiced eyes."
Fu Manman said to the aunt who walked up to him: "Auntie, you are very brave and dare to stand up and question me. Now I want to promote you to be the captain."
The aunt was dumbfounded, and Chu Chengfeng was also slightly surprised.
"When you become the captain, you can select two hundred people from the team to be your subordinates. You will lead them to open up wasteland in the future. If they do well, you will also be rewarded. You can also promote them to be captains. When the time comes, you will be promoted to flag commander.
If you encounter any problems during the land reclamation process in the future, you can come to me." Fu Manman said to the aunt.
The aunt is still in shock, she...how can she be the captain?
Is this an official position? How can she, an old country woman who is illiterate, become an official?
"Miss, I... don't have a name. Everyone calls me Liu Niang. Miss, just call me Six Aunt. You asked me to be the captain. I can't believe it!"
"Sixth Aunt, there are many miracles here. As long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly." Fu Manman smiled at Aunt Six and encouraged.
"Hey! Thank you, Miss." Sixth Aunt said happily from ear to ear.
Chu Chengfeng was also surprised. She was treating the land reclamation team as a military camp and gave an old woman the title of captain!
She is indeed crazy. She is so unreasonable. How can an old woman be an official?
Fu Manman glanced at Chu Chengfeng and sneered: "Why, do you have any objections?"
"Don't dare!" He is just a subordinate, and it is useless to have any opinions.
With her messing around like this, Shili Town must be ruined.
Chu Chengfeng thought for a while and decided that he should train the soldiers properly!
When the time comes, I will be able to have a decent soldier for the third young master to make up for my fault!
Chu Chengfeng didn't want to waste any more time here, so he went back to train his soldiers.
The newly formed recruits were all refugees before, and they were very chaotic. He wanted to go back and give them a good training to show their temper.
Song Qingyao saw Chu Chengfeng leaving and followed him back. She wanted to take stock of the female soldiers. From now on, she would personally train these female soldiers and train them into her own trusted troops, which no one could take away.
As for letting Chu Chengfeng train male soldiers, it is better to find something for him to do so as not to keep him under surveillance.
She arranged Erlang of the Yu family into this team and kept him here so that he could be hers in the future.
After returning to the camp, Song Qingyao looked at the messy camp. Although the dormitories were separated, the camp was in one place.
She wants to divide this camp into three.
One is for Chu Chengfeng to train new soldiers, the other is for her to train female soldiers, and the other is for people who open up wasteland to live.
After telling Wang Hongcheng this request, he found someone to handle it.
Just add a fence here.
It can be done in two days.
Wang Hongcheng took advantage of Zhongli's family's lack of intelligence and asked, "Gang leader, everyone has made arrangements. When will you go to the mountain stronghold?"
"Go in the afternoon, drag Chu Chengfeng and keep an eye on his people." Fu Manman said to Wang Hongcheng.
Wang Hongcheng understood, "Don't worry, gang leader, I will definitely hold him back."
In the afternoon, I asked Chu Chengfeng to organize people to repair the fence.
At noon, Fu Manman had lunch with Yuyao. Chu Chengfeng was curious that the fifth young lady and Wang Hongcheng's wife had become familiar with each other so quickly.
But when he saw Fu Manman carrying back a large amount of cloth from Mrs. Wang's room, he snorted, it turned out that he was being exploited.
