The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Liu Sheng said: "Master is not a pleasant title. People who don't know better think that I am fifty or sixty years old and have many descendants. From now on, whether you sell yourself to me or are employed by me, please call me boss."

As for the lack of reclaimable wasteland around, you don't need to worry about it. I know what to do, and I will definitely not let everyone starve. "

Hearing this, Liu Dachuan sighed secretly, thinking: My boss is determined to become a bandit in this mountain.

Although he didn't want to be a bandit, he knew he had no choice - if it weren't for Liu Sheng, his family would have starved to death. Even if other wealthy people are willing to hire him or buy his younger brother, they may not be able to accept his family.

In this way, even without Liu Sheng, the two brothers had no choice but to become bandits if they wanted to survive.

Thinking of this, Liu Dachuan said, "I understand, boss," and then stepped aside to work.

Zou Runniang grabbed Li Xiangyun who was going to work and whispered: "Xiangyun, listen to what he said, how does it sound like he wants to open up wasteland and farm in the mountains in a serious way? Most likely he still wants to be a bandit."

Li Xiangyun said: "Mom, he is our savior. As long as you can survive by following him, what does it matter if you become a bandit?"

After that, go straight to work.

Zou Runniang looked at Li Xiangyun's back, then looked around at the wilderness, her eyes even more worried.

Li Xiangyun was young and ignorant, but she knew that if Liu Sheng could really find a suitable place to open up wasteland and farm, he might be able to lead everyone to survive in this troubled world.

But if Liu Sheng wants to be a gangster, he will have to lick blood from the knife edge to survive. He doesn't know when he will die.

How can people like them end well by then?

Zou Runiang did not tell her daughter these truths, because she also understood one truth: at this point, their mother and daughter had no better choice.

···

Arriving before the sun went down, under Liu Sheng's coordination and arrangement, a dozen young men finally cleared a place for everyone to camp. As long as you light a bonfire and arrange for people to keep watch, you won't be afraid of the snakes, insects and wild beasts in the mountains.

Because it was his first night in the mountains, Liu Sheng specially asked Li Xianglan and others to cook broth and serve it with noodles bought from Maoji Town for dinner.

After drinking the fragrant broth and eating warm noodles, whether it was the strong man from Xiaoli Village who complained about staying in the mountains overnight, or Liu Dachuan and other four families who were worried about the future, they felt much more at ease.

In these troubled times, people are dying of hunger everywhere, and in many places there are even horrific scenes of "cannibalism". They are really happy to have such a dinner.

At night, after everyone had a rest, Liu Sheng secretly left the camp and returned to the cave.

The traps in front of and inside the cave were not triggered, and the door was still locked, which made Liu Sheng relieved.

After checking all the houses on the upper and lower floors, Liu Sheng came to the workshop on the second floor.

Having served in the special forces, he has learned not only killing, but also many other related skills, one of which is making various weapons using limited conditions and materials.

As he considers himself a patient with doomsday fantasy and a retired soldier, Liu Sheng is naturally well prepared for weapons.

In addition to various cold weapons available in Daxia, he also prepared some parts, materials and tools for homemade firearms.

Now in Tianmu Mountain, he didn't know what he would encounter. After much deliberation, he still felt that it would be safer to make one or two guns first and carry them with him.

Liu Sheng was very skilled in his movements, and he made two revolvers in just two or three hours.

It can hold five rounds of bullets and has an effective range of about fifty meters. The shooting accuracy is acceptable within forty meters, but the accuracy is not so good beyond forty meters.

Logically speaking, Liu Sheng's skill in making homemade firearms was regarded as a magical skill in the late Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, he had prepared supplies for the end of the world, and did not know that he would travel back to the late Ming Dynasty, so he did not stock up on many parts and materials necessary for homemade firearms.

He roughly estimated that he could make at most ten or twenty firearms of various types.

However, the level of steelmaking in the late Ming Dynasty was not too low, and steel processing technology also had a certain foundation. When he becomes powerful enough in the future, he can build a firearms factory. With some development, a revolver might be produced within twenty or thirty years.

After making the revolver, Liu Sheng made fifty rounds of bullets before leaving the cave and returning to the camp.

Before breakfast the next day, Liu Sheng took a notebook and pen and registered four families.

The Liu family is the first.

Although Liu Dachuan and Liu Erhe were a little surprised, they were very cooperative.

Only then did Liu Sheng realize that although they looked like they were in their thirties or forties, they were actually both in their twenties.

Liu Dachuan is 28 years old and is a carpenter; Liu Erhe is only 24 years old and is a bricklayer; both are from the Lu family in Henan Prefecture.

Their father Liu Deyou is also only 49 years old and is a farmer and bamboo craftsman. The mother, Zhao Cuirong, is 48 years old. In addition to ordinary farm work and housework, she can also weave and make simple clothes.

In the second house, the male owner is Zhou Maohua, a 27-year-old farmer who can also bake bricks and pottery, and is from Jiaxian County, Ruzhou.

His wife Liu Erni, 26 years old, is a farmer, can weave, and is a female worker. The eldest son Zhou Daobao is 10 years old, and the second son Zhou Debao is 7 years old.

The male owner of the third family is Zheng Erli, 25 years old, a farmer and part-time mason, from Nanzhao, Nanyang Prefecture.

His wife He Chunfang, 23 years old, is a weaver and a female worker. Daughter Zheng Zhenzhen, 5 years old. Zheng Ershuan's father-in-law, He Guiyou, is 49 years old and an old farmer.

The fourth family is mother and daughter Zou Runniang and Li Xiangyun. Zou Runniang is 29 years old and Li Xiangyun is 14 years old. They are from Lu family in Henan Prefecture.

Zou has some knowledge of weaving, female workers, some medical skills, and can identify and process herbal medicines. Li Xianglan is literate, good at arithmetic, and has some skills as a female worker.

After registration, Liu Sheng was very happy.

In addition to farming, the men of each family also have skills, which is because he deliberately selected part-time craftsmen.

But the ladies of each house knew how to weave and work, which made him a little happy. However, in ancient times, it was normal for women from the lower class to be able to weave and work.

During the registration process, Liu Dachuan and others were not only curious but also admired the notebooks and pens used by Liu Sheng, a kind of admiration that illiterate people have for scholars.

Only Zou Runniang and Li Xiangyun, who had some experience in pens, inks, paper and inkstones, were curious and seemed to want to explore.

Because Liu Sheng's writing tools and methods were all new to them.

The notebook is easier to understand, but it is just a more beautifully made blank book. But they had never heard of the pen that could write fine fonts, and they didn't know what it was made of.

In addition, Liu Sheng actually wrote horizontally from left to right!

The use of simplified characters is not so strange - at this time, scholars often used simplified characters when sketching or writing wildly, but simplified characters accounted for only a small proportion, while Liu Sheng almost always used simplified characters.

Li Xianglan didn't even recognize some of the simplified Chinese characters and could only guess their meaning.

Although she was full of doubts, she was worried that this matter would involve Liu Sheng's secrets and offend Liu Sheng, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart for the time being.

Liu Sheng put away his notebook and saw everyone simply washing themselves by the stream and starting to work again.

He then found He Chunfang, who was washing his daughter's face and tying her hair, and said, "Xiao He, I will take Xiang Yun to cook some millet porridge for everyone for breakfast."
