Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

Before it was completely dark, Wu Qianli came to the mine discovered during the day again.

In one afternoon, a shack has been set up here.

The people who were captured by the bandits were also gathered here at this time, and the way down the mountain was also guarded by soldiers to prevent these people from going down the mountain.

This place is too important to Wu Qianli, and no news about the mine can be spread out.

Once there is a slight leak, it will definitely attract all forces.

In case the devils mobilize heavy troops to attack at that time, it may be difficult to cope with Wu Qianli's current strength.

Xie Baoqing obviously knew this truth, so he arranged for people to control this place.

If Wu Qianli hadn't ordered the search, they wouldn't have found such a mine.

"Captain!"

Seeing Wu Qianli approaching, the soldiers in charge of guarding immediately saluted and greeted, and then looked at the people.

"Folks, this is our company commander, and he is the one who led us to break through Heiyunzhai and rescue you!"

Hearing the soldier's introduction, all the people here stood up and looked nervously at the young man in front of them.

Apparently, they all thought that Wu Qianli, like the bandits, wanted to enslave them.

Wu Qianli could see their nervousness and uneasiness, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Folks, don't be afraid. We are the Eighth Route Army, the people's army, and we will not harm you."

All the people were taken aback for a moment, and each of them was beating drums in their hearts.

They all knew about the Eighth Route Army, but Wu Qianli and the others were dressed in rags, how could they look like soldiers?

However, their doubts were quickly dispelled.

Because although the clothes on Wu Qianli and the others were torn, they could still see the appearance of the Eighth Route Army uniforms.

And if Wu Qianli really wanted to enslave them, he could use force, so why would he stand here and talk to them politely?
"You, are you really the Eighth Route Army?"

Among the crowd, a muscular young man with dark skin boldly stepped forward and asked.

Wu Qianli nodded affirmatively: "We are indeed the Eighth Route Army, this time we are here to rescue everyone!"

"What's your name?"

The young man quickly said, "My name is Lu Erniu, a farmer in Zhaojiayu. I was taken up the mountain by bandits like Xie Baoqing two years ago."

"Sir, since the bandits have been wiped out by you, can we go down the mountain?"

Wu Qianli smiled faintly: "Fellow folks, logically speaking, if we kill the bandits, you will be free, and there is nothing wrong with letting you go down the mountain."

"But folks, I still can't let you go down the mountain for the time being."

"Because you are all mining here, and this mine is too important to me. Once someone of you gets out, it will bring us disaster."

"So, I ask you to stay here for one year, but don't worry, I will cover all your food and drink during this year, and I guarantee that you will not suffer any harm!"

"Of course, if you are willing to continue working for us, I will pay you wages according to the market price, and I will also give you additional food subsidies!"

All the people looked at each other in blank dismay, some of them didn't know what to do.

Until one of the older men walked out of the line and said, "Folks, listen to me!"

"The old man's name is Zhao Dehan. He was selected as a scholar in the early years, so he has some knowledge. This comrade from the Eighth Route Army is right. The news about these ores really cannot be spread."

"And comrades from the Eighth Route Army saved us, we should repay them!"

Everyone was stunned for a while, and after a while, Lu Erniu took a step forward.

"Sir, I am willing to stay here. I don't want any salary or anything, as long as you stutter!"

As soon as Lu Erniu finished speaking, several young people stood up and expressed their willingness to stay here.

With the leadership of these few people, the other people have no worries, and they all agree to stay here.

Wu Qianli nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your understanding and support."

"Please don't worry, I will definitely give you the wages. Just follow the market price. If you have other difficulties here, you can also raise them. I will try my best to help you solve them!"

As he said that, Wu Qianli turned his head to look at Lu Erniu: "Comrade Lu Erniu, you will take care of these folks from now on."

"We are here for the war. You are usually responsible for logistics and mining. If you encounter difficulties, just mention them!"

"Yes!" Lu Erniu agreed excitedly, as if he was also a member of the Eighth Route Army.

Wu Qianli nodded in satisfaction, ordered the soldiers to find a shelter for the people, then turned and left.

When he came to the top of the mountain, Wu Qianli looked down the hillside with his hands behind his back.

At this time, the group of rescued civilians was working together with the soldiers to tidy up the places that had been bombed by artillery fire.

Seeing so many people suddenly appearing, Wu Qianli began to plan in his mind.

With so many people, the consumption of more food every day will inevitably not be less.

Although a lot of food was seized after killing Xie Baoqing, and with the rewards from the system, they still had enough food for a long time.

But it is limited after all, they cannot sit and eat.

Fortunately, the system rewarded a lot of crop seeds and poultry young this time. If you plan and manage well, you don't have to worry about food.

Moreover, the seeds and poultry rewarded by the system are short-cycle, and the cycle required to mature is half as short as that of ordinary seed livestock.

Turning around to look at a huge open space behind him, Wu Qianli was silent for a few seconds.

It has an area of ​​at least a thousand acres, and it is still a trapezoidal structure.

If it can be reclaimed, it is definitely the best choice for growing food and raising livestock.

At this moment, Wang Hai came over.

"Company commander, it's getting late, why don't you let the brothers rest for one night and continue tomorrow?"

Wu Qianli nodded. After fighting during the day and cleaning up the battlefield for so long, the soldiers were indeed tired.

"Wang Hai, you said, what if this land is used to grow crops?"

Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, he didn't know what Wu Qianli meant by asking this question, but he still answered very honestly.

"This land is indeed suitable for farming from the color of the soil, but the problem is that we don't have any seeds!"

Wu Qianli smiled faintly: "Seeds and poultry seedlings are not a problem, they are available in the firewood warehouse in Heiyunzhai."

"You just need to answer my question."

Wu Qianli had already moved these things in during the afternoon inspection.

And all the things he got through the system will default to the original existence, so Wu Qianli didn't intend to hide too much.

Wang Hai was overjoyed: "Company commander, we are all farmers. Isn't farming a basic skill for us?"

"Leave this matter to me, and I will bring people to reclaim this place tomorrow."

Wu Qianli patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Well, I will leave this matter to you, and I will wait for your good news!"
