Chapter 42: Approaching Spring

Without the worry of food, Li Xiang led the 30 farmers he recruited and the 30 farmers who had returned before and rushed towards Juhu. Now Juhu is the main place of Xiliang.

There are not many farmers and militiamen here in the camp, and there are not many manpower needed here either. They just need to cut down trees and expand the area of ​​the camp.

If it weren't for the extremely cold weather over the Juhu, Prime Minister Li would have wanted to move the camp to the side of the Juhu. In that case, they would have spent more time transporting iron ore at most.

Li Xiang left with the farmers, but the camp did not change. Fifty farmers were recruited, Li Xiang took away thirty, and there were twenty more people in the camp.

Li Yi threw all these people into the lumber mill. The most lacking thing in the remaining camp was all kinds of carpenters. Carpentry is a very important type of construction workers. The most abundant material in Xiliang now is wood.

After entering the feudal era, more wood was consumed. She wanted to take advantage of this time to collect more wood to prevent the entire camp from turning into a battlefield after spring. If there was insufficient wood preparation when something needed to be built, it would not be Li

I want to see it.

As a logistics manager, Li Yi must make various preparations, including food, wood, weapons, etc.

The weapons made by the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop have been getting better and better these days. Not to mention those carefully crafted weapons, they are similar to most of the weapons circulated in the northwest.

The enemies killed by Xiliang soldiers were stripped naked, leaving no weapons or clothes behind. These weapons were finally sent to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith observed them carefully, and then experimented bit by bit to create a similar style.

A quality but good weapon.

The five blacksmiths, with all their firepower, can make ten swords a day, which temporarily meets the needs of the camp. Then the camp will see a population explosion.

Li Ti took out the animal skin and said: The blacksmith shop needs to be built more and ten more blacksmiths can be transferred to ensure that every soldier in the Xiliang camp has weapons and has the strength to fight when the call to war is called!

After recording the blacksmith shop, Li Yi walked around the camp carefully, writing something on her animal hide from time to time, and writing all the things that needed improvement and addition on the animal hide. This was her job.

It took Li Xiang three days to come to the desolate wasteland. Thirty farmers used wooden sticks to sweep the snow on the ground, dug up some soil to take a look, and then said to Li Xiang: "My lord, although this land is very fertile, the cultivation

The crops will still be okay, but the yields may be much lower initially!”

Li Xiang laughed and patted the farmer on the shoulder: "What a problem this is. As long as you plant crops in this place, even if the yield is only one-third of that of the seven-day place, it will be fine!"

The fish in the giant lake can support them for a whole winter. After winter, they have to rely on themselves. Now, almost one-third of the cold winter has passed.

He still had two-thirds of the time to prepare. The fields were planted now, and by the end of winter they would be able to harvest the first crops.

There is no need to rely on the fish in the giant lake, and there is no need to regard fish as the main thing every day. There is no problem in eating fish once in a while, but eating fish every day will always make you tired. Now Li Xiang is a little tired.

I always get tired of eating grilled fish every day.

The farmer holding the soil was expressionless: "Lord, please rest assured, I promise to turn this wilderness into farmland!"

Li Xiang glanced at the farmers behind him, who all had firm beliefs. Next to these farmers was a wheelbarrow filled with tools that the farmers needed!

Hoes, shovels... they have everything they need for farming.

Li Xiang let the farmers open up farmland, and he led five militiamen to wander in the vast wilderness, hunting down any prey. He brought his longbow with him, just for hunting and to intimidate Xia Li.

He is very afraid of Xia Li. A person who controls the power of heaven and earth is with him and sleeps in your camp. There is no need to be afraid of that person. Moreover, Li Xiang also killed all of this person's men in front of the opponent.

.

Li Xiang's departure and return did not surprise Xia Li. Xia Li walked to the edge of the giant lake every day to absorb the cold ice elements and feel the power of ice.

Xia Li's appearance reassured Li Xiang a lot. As long as this person didn't cause trouble, Li Xiang would not take the initiative to provoke Xia Li. He was sure that he could kill Xia Li, but the cost of killing Xia Li would be several deaths.

personal.

Several people, for the current Xiliang Camp, no, to be precise, for the current and future Xiliang Camp people, every population is very precious. Li Xiang does not want his soldiers to test Xia Li.

powerful.

Xia Li practiced diligently, and the five people of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth led people to fish on the giant lake, and salt mining began at the salt mine.

Pieces of salt ore are transported to a mill not far away. The mill can grind grain or salt ore. The snow-white salt is made in the mill. If you want to have better salt, you need to upgrade the mill.

The camp was on track. Li Xiang went out hunting every day and came back to practice. The opportunity passed little by little as the Xiliang camp developed.

Every ten days or so, Prime Minister Li will return to the camp to recruit people. The population in the camp represents the growth of Xiliang.

Most of the recruited people were sent to the wilderness beside the giant lake. The cold temperature made the reclamation of the wilderness slow. Most of the farmers only wore linen clothes and did not even have any warm clothes.

Li Xiang thought of a way, which was to light a fire in the wilderness. When the loggers felled the trees, they left a lot of residual branches that were not enough to become rice. These things would still dry out in the warehouse, but they were used during construction.

Not on.

Taking these branches to the wilderness, Li Xiang lit up piles of bonfires to melt the surrounding snow. The ashes after burning the branches can also be used.

During the fire, the desolate wilderness was originally white, but with the hard work of farmers, a sliver of green appeared on the large land, which was crops.

?

Hunting during the day, training at night, and patrolling the camp, the fulfilling days always passed very quickly. In the ice-covered northwest land, the temperature went from being cold at the beginning to getting warmer and warmer later on.

No one dared to step on the thin layer of ice and snow on the lake. Small rafts could move forward in the lake, and they could also release large-scale nets.

The camp beside the giant lake has changed from a camp where dozens of people live to a small town that can accommodate nearly a thousand people. Next to the town is a huge freezer. The ice in the lake melts, and the freezer next to the camp also melts.

Start to melt.

There are a large number of frozen fish stored in the freezer. These fish are to be taken back to recruit people. The fish stored as food have all been placed in the warehouse and become salted fish.

This is the result of several months.

It was dark, and Li Xiang led the militiamen back from outside. Each of them carried a large amount of prey, hares, and pheasants. The most attractive thing was the two bison carried by a few people behind.

Each bison weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms. Spring is coming soon, and there are more and more wild beasts in the forest.

"Lord!"

When Li Xiang just returned to the camp, Zhang Qingyun trotted up to Li Xiang, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes. If Li Xiang had just met Zhang Qingyun, Zhang Qingyun still looked like a scholar.

Now Zhang Qingyun has no feeling at all. He is almost like a madman. He carries a very strong smell. This smell is present in Li Xiang, no, to be precise, everyone in the camp except Xia Li has it.

This taste.

Zhang Qingyun put all his efforts into this camp. Li Xiang was only responsible for the general direction of the camp and how to do it specifically. The farmers and militiamen all looked at Zhang Qingyun.

Zhang Qingyun had no choice but to release all the ink in his stomach, but he was able to apply what he had learned, and Zhang Qingyun enjoyed it.

Zhang Qingyun felt tired and fulfilled with this feeling of governing a country. Especially when a small camp turned into a small town in his hands, he had a special sense of pride.

However, Zhang Qingyun was very curious about the farmers recruited by Li Xiang. Every farmer was versatile, and any one of them was a talented person. They were very obedient. He would do whatever you asked him to do, without any hesitation!

The execution power is even more powerful. If you ask them to build a building, it will be built for you in less than half a day, and the quality is very good.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiang put down the things in his hands.

Zhang Qingyun nodded: "I just received a letter from the camp. Master Li Yi asked the camp leader to go back. It seems that he has something to discuss with you!"

"Well, then I'll go back tomorrow!" Li Xiang nodded. Seeing Zhang Qingyun's hesitant look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If there is anything else, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Qingyun felt a little embarrassed after hearing Li Xiang's words and touched his greasy hair: "Battlemaster, it's been three or four months since I left Qingzhu Village. I kind of want to be grateful to them. I don't know what you are planning to do to take down Qingzhu Village, Camp Leader."

..."

This time is the longest separation between Zhang Qingyun and his mentor. In his heart, his mentor is almost like a father, and Yulan...

When he first met with Li Xiang, Zhang Qingyun didn't believe that Li Xiang had the strength to win Qingzhu Village, but after following Li Xiang's development on the edge of Juhu these days, Zhang Qingyun was convinced.

Li Xiang's peasant construction is a good hand. In terms of fighting, Zhang Qingyun feels like he can't beat anyone with their fighting prowess.

Each of these people is tall and mighty...

I really don’t know where Li Xiang recruited them from. There are many people in Daqian who are over 1.9 meters tall, but Zhang Qingyun has never seen them appear in such groups.

As long as they are well trained and cultivated, these people will become a powerful army!

He is not very clear about how many such people there are under Li Xiang now. When he was at the camp for the first time, the population of the camp was probably only a few dozen people. He is not very clear about how many people there are now.

But it is not difficult to attack Qingzhu Village!

After hearing Zhang Qingyun's words, Li Xiang thought for a moment. The main reason why he didn't kill Zhang Qingyun was because of Zhang Qingyun's teacher Zhou Hangjie. host.

Li Xiang also wants to take such a talent into his hands. He cannot only be in the northwest in the future. If possible, he will fight his way back to Daqian, but that is a matter for the future!

What he needs to do now is to capture the northwest land first!

Thinking about it, Li Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, you can come back to the camp with me tomorrow!"

"Camp Leader Li, I wonder if I can come with you to your camp!" Just as Li Xiang finished speaking, Xia Li's voice rang out. At some point, Xia Li got mixed up in the crowd.

This was the first time in the past few months that Xia Li spoke, and the sound she made turned out to be pure Daqian language.

Seeing the surprise in Li Xiang's eyes, Xia Li raised her lips proudly. It seemed that she had stayed in the camp shamelessly these past few months, but it was better to say that Camp Leader Li in front of her didn't want her to leave!

She could feel that as long as she dared to leave this camp, she would be ambushed and hunted. After thinking for a while, she understood.

This person didn't want her to leave this place, more precisely, he didn't want her to go out, he didn't want more people to know about her existence, and he didn't want the road between the West and the East to be exposed.

If it were her, if there was such a path, she wouldn't follow others. This is a path to wealth.

During these days in the camp, she observed the surroundings of the camp while practicing. Today she finally plucked up the courage to go out to the camp with Li Xiangti. During these days in the camp, she knew that this was just a sub-camp under Li Xiang, the main camp. on the other side!
