Chapter 5 Taking the City as Home

"Great, starting from today, we have a new house!"

A woman shouted loudly, with a happy expression on her face.

Her family has three sons and two daughters, and they all live in a dilapidated thatched house, which is leaky and does not even have a complete bed.

When it's time to go to bed at night, or when it rains and cools down, the whole family can only get together shivering.

Her biggest dream is to have a big house where she can shelter from the wind and rain and sleep peacefully.

I always thought that this could only be a dream, but I didn't expect it to actually become a reality.

The woman let out a burst of cheers and led her children to jump up and down. The joy quickly spread to everyone.

Everyone was laughing and looking forward to a better life.

The living environment here is really good, the cave is like a room, and there is a big kang in it.

I stretched out my hand and touched it, and it actually had its own temperature. It felt very comfortable after lying on it.

Such a magical performance is indeed the work of an immortal.

There is a movable stone slab at the door of the house, which can be blocked by a gentle push.

Such a strong door makes people feel safe at first glance.

Thinking about the busy day ahead, it must be very comfortable to lie on the kang after washing up.

Imagining such a scene, everyone is looking forward to it more and more, wishing they could move their homes here now.

Under the leadership of Tang Zhen, everyone arrived at the exit to the outside world.

The structure of the exit is very strange. At first glance, it looks like a city gate exit, and two carriages can pass in parallel.

There is a huge stone embedded in the doorway, one meter thick, which can seal the city gate like a sliding door.

The gap is so tight that not even a blade can be inserted into it.

Looking at the size of this boulder, it weighs at least hundreds of tons, but it can be easily pushed inside.

If you want to open it outside, it is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.

Moreover, mechanisms and soldiers can be set up inside the gate to launch attacks on enemies who rush into the gate.

Such an exquisite setting is definitely beyond human ability.

A group of residents were amazed and couldn't understand why. Only Tang Zhen knew the truth.

The city gate is controlled by special magnets, which makes it feel as light as nothing. The internal structure of the stone gate is ingenious, and it has wonderful uses at critical moments.

Although the principle is clear, there is no need to explain it to the villagers, and they will not be able to understand it if it is explained too deeply.

According to Tang Zhen's instructions, the elderly, women and children went to the village to collect various materials that could be used.

With the threat posed by bandits, the village is no longer safe and must be moved as soon as possible.

Even if there is no threat from bandits, the villagers will move collectively. With such good houses, who would want to live in a leaky thatched house?

The men did not return, but followed Tang Zhen back to the central courtyard and saw a pile of weapons and equipment placed in the backyard.

Tang Zhen used the remaining silver to buy some swords, bows and crossbows, as well as a dozen sets of branded animal skin armor.

This is a weapon prepared for villagers to practice with and try to transform from farmers into soldiers.

When the time is right, Tang Zhen will buy some skill jade tokens to allow them to become true warriors.

Of course, before that, you need to go through basic training, and you must have corresponding virtues before you can withstand sudden opportunities.

Otherwise it is a disaster rather than a blessing.

There is another reason that Tang Zhen is too short of money to buy more things.

He used the remaining money to buy an automatic rifle to use against bandits.

Although Tang Zhen had never used a rifle since he was a child, when he got it in his hands, he felt a deep sense of familiarity.

Using such a weapon will definitely cause serious damage to the bandits.

Tang Zhen did not tell the villagers that he would not passively wait for the enemy to attack, but was preparing to actively attack the enemy.

Not only to eliminate risks, but also to participate in actual combat and obtain a fortune from bandits.

Bandits who robbed homes must have a certain amount of gold and silver reserves, which was very attractive to Tang Zhen.

When he made up his mind, Tang Zhen was very calm, as if this was a normal thing.

This also made Tang Zhen secretly surprised. He had never killed a chicken before, so why was he so calm about killing people?

It seems that I have more secrets than I imagined.

The villagers who received the weapons became more and more excited and gathered together to continuously study the weapons.

Weapons made of hundreds of refined steel cannot be bought with money. They must be obtained through special channels.

For these poor villagers who cannot even afford a kitchen knife, every weapon can be regarded as a family heirloom.

Nowadays, there are a lot of them, and everyone can get one.

Tang Zhen told everyone that starting from today, they will train from morning to night.

You don’t need to farm, and you won’t go hungry either.

You can take time to take care of the cultivated land. If you don't have time, give up.

A group of farmers obviously couldn't accept this arrangement. Leaving food in the fields was a terrible crime.

Tang Zhen didn't talk too much about this issue, and there would eventually be a solution in the future.

The villagers are unwilling to accept it, mainly because they have not adapted to the change of status, which will naturally change over time.

According to Tang Zhen's request, the villagers were divided into three teams, responsible for guarding the gate.

While one team was guarding the gate, the other two teams were training in the city.

Four horizontal and vertical city walls, each one hundred meters long, circled a large enough area.

It is absolutely more than enough to train and live in the building city, and it even gives people a feeling of emptiness.

In order to ensure the effective execution of the order, Tang Zhen selected several villagers to temporarily act as captains.

If you perform well, you can continue to hold the position; if you perform poorly, hand it over to someone more capable.

A group of farmers digging in the soil don't have much experience at all, so they can only continue to learn and grow.

When arranging these tasks, Tang Zhen felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had done similar things before.

I wanted to recall it carefully, but it felt so hazy that I couldn't remember anything at all.

According to Tang Zhen's arrangement, a group of villagers immediately went to guard the gate, and the other two groups went to the village to assist with the move.

Tang Zhen carried an automatic rifle on his back and followed the others to the village. Everyone was armed along the way.

When they saw Tang Zhen's rifle, everyone was very curious and secretly guessed what kind of weapon it was?

Many villagers believe that this is a magic weapon given by an immortal, otherwise why would it have such a weird shape.

Because of Tang Zhen's order, the moving process became very easy. Except for grain and some poultry, most of the rags were discarded.

According to Forbes, these things are too messy and will definitely affect the living environment if brought there.

Since the young master has promised to distribute new daily necessities to everyone, there is no need to bring these rags.

Although the villagers were reluctant to leave, they did not dare to disobey Tang Zhen and Uncle Fu, and quickly returned with their belongings.

Tang Zhen led the villagers and walked around the empty village to confirm that nothing was missing.

Soon everyone returned to the city and closed the gate tightly, leaving a few villagers to guard it.

All the other villagers took action, selected their own houses, and began to make simple arrangements.

Because the house was warm enough and there was no need for bedding for the time being, Tang Zhen distributed a straw mat to each family.

This is the original inventory of the family, used to store grain, and now it is used by the villagers to lay the kang.

Tang Zhen also selected a few women to be responsible for cooking for everyone every day, and also selected a cave entrance to serve as a canteen.

In the future, enough tables and chairs can be placed in this place to facilitate Loucheng residents to eat here.

There is also a natural fire source in this cave. There are four natural fire vents on the stone platform, which can be used to build the pot stove.

If a fire source is not needed, just use a stone plate to fasten it.

There are two stone wells next to it, which contain sweet and clear springs. After overflowing, they flow into a pool in the city, which is just right for the villagers to drink and cook.

Seeing these thoughtful arrangements, the villagers sighed again. They all said that the immortal considered things very thoughtfully and made clear arrangements for food, drink, and toilet.

Only Tang Zhen chuckled and said nothing, and did not tell the residents of Loucheng that these arrangements were designed by him personally.
