Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

As soon as the red taro leaders came, they found that they had a ready-made house to live in.

The house is made of adobe, connected together, the height of the room is only [-] meters, and each room is only [-] square meters. Baidou and the others have to bend over to enter the house, and they can't use it after entering the house.

But the doors and windows are in good condition, and the roof and walls are also in good condition. This kind of house has already satisfied the defectors of the red taro collar. Some of their own houses are not so complete yet.

The adobe house is still relatively warm. Four people live in one room, and it is very warm for everyone to sleep together. It is more convenient for a family.

The most satisfying thing for defectors is that they don't have to do the hard work of cooking. There is a ready-made canteen near their residence, and they only need to go to get meals before and after work every day.

There is also a deep well next to the cafeteria. The water in the well is sweet. Although you have to line up to fetch water, it is convenient to use water.

What made them most happy was that they thought it would be beautiful to eat two meals a day, but when they went to work, they found that they were given a steamed bun or a piece of flatbread with salty Each person can drink two bowls of hot bean sprout soup or tofu soup.

The defectors are so beautiful, don't tell jokes, they really don't want to leave after they come, and they won't leave even if they are killed.If anyone lets them go, they will fight each other desperately.

Beds, clothes, shoes and socks and other daily necessities have to be taken care of by themselves, but these are minor problems. Bailuling has a store, and their wages for the first ten days are paid daily so that they can go to the store to buy things.The things there are cheap and good, what makes them most comfortable is that the price they buy is the same as that of the White Hart Collars.

Every day, defectors thank Lord White Hart before eating and going to bed.

In fact, many people were very disturbed before they came, and they were afraid that they would be treated as meat or slaves after they came. Who would have thought that there would be such a good day?

Many people are regretting that they did not bring all their family members. Although only working people can eat free meals, because the portion of food is fixed, they can choose to eat in the cafeteria or take it home, as long as they are strong laborers. We all save a little bit, and we can make the old and weak at home who are really unable to work more than half full.

After being paid, they can go to the store to buy food, small stoves and charcoal.

Not to mention the people who can't work except children under the age of four or five, that is, those who are sick and injured, and the elderly at home can receive some jobs suitable for them just by sitting at home.

It’s like kneading hay—this kind of soft hay can be used to stuff clothes to keep warm, and to weave baskets with dried vines—the vines were all obtained by Tang Bo’s hunters from the forest in Hongshanling, and the shoe soles Insoles, mending clothes shoes and so on.

Some old people are dexterous and steady, so they go to the pottery workshop to knead and draw all kinds of pottery, and some old people are arranged to weave. In short, as long as you want to work and can move, there must be work.

As far as Tang Bo is concerned, although the initial investment is not small, as long as these people are willing to stay for a month, Bailuling will make money.The longer they stay, the more the White Hart Collar will earn.

It's a pity that more than 200 people were brought to the red taro. After deducting the old and weak who could not work, there were only about 150 people, including children aged 16 to [-].

Tang Bo didn't treat people equally. On the contrary, he made the white deer leader and the red taro leader feel a more obvious difference.

But this difference is not unbearable, it is only reflected in a few aspects.

For example, the children of the red taro collar cannot go to the lord's mansion to study and eat a free meal, let alone get rewards from the lord from time to time.

But they also got the opportunity to learn. The lord sent children who had better academic performance and were more able to teach others. They taught all defectors from 02:30 to [-]:[-] in the afternoon every day. Anyone, regardless of gender, age or age, could come.

Adults who can recognize characters quickly and are good at arithmetic will be reused quickly, while children who are more alert or show talent in certain areas will have the opportunity to go to the Lord's Mansion to study systematically.

In addition, when it comes to distributing items, in addition to the fixed wages and bonuses, the white deer leaders will give them good things when it comes to festivals or when the simple lords are in a good mood and want to distribute money. Their kind, strict and great lords will give them good things. This is called the special welfare of the white deer collar.

For example, just before spring, when the ice and snow melted, it would be very cold during this period. Lord Bailu distributed something called briquettes to his citizens door to door. There were two large baskets, which were especially easy to burn. A single briquette can be burned for a whole night. Not only can it bring warmth to the room, but also you can drink hot water when you wake up in the morning, and you can also wash your face and mouth with hot water.Also comes with a small tin stove!

That's a small tin stove!One silver coin is sold in the store, which is a thousand copper coins.

The defectors of the red taro collar will only get similar benefits if they work very hard and perform very well, otherwise they can only go to the store to buy.Fortunately, the small yellow clay stove is also very useful and cheap, as long as fifteen copper coins can buy one.

What makes the defectors more calm is that if the Bailu collar people run out of briquettes, they can also go to the store to buy them, and the purchase price is the same as them.

There are also things like sickness treatment. White deer collars have medical insurance, but red taro collars don’t know what medical insurance is. Come to the young master Guding and even the lord.

And if the defectors get sick, they can still see a doctor and get medicine, but the cost is much more expensive than that of the white deer collar. It is said that this is already a preferential price given to them by the lord.The same medicinal herb and pharmacist, if outsiders come to buy it, the price will double to triple.

The butler, Bafu, would give lectures to the defectors in person every ten days. His lectures were quite complicated, including the laws and regulations of the territory, criticism of those who made mistakes, and lectures on various benefits of Bailuling, but more It is to guide and inform the defectors: Bailuling has treated you very preferentially, and others will not be able to come to such a day.

And the fact is the same. Of the more than 200 people who came here from the red taro collar, except for one old man who died of old age naturally - lying on the bed with a smile on his face when he died, the others survived, and the longer they lived, the better.

With all these things, the defectors naturally had the idea of ​​"I want to get more, and I also want to be a white deer leader".

After Tang Bo handed over the more than 200 people to the housekeeper, he didn't ask any more questions, and everything was done according to the rules.

He is busy discussing with Yan Ren to connect the canal they built with the mountain stream. They have found a theoretically most suitable excavation route during this time.

"In this way, it can become running water, and we don't need to find underground water sources to circulate. If the water storage is not enough, the mountain stream may be of great help." Tang Bo estimated the possibility while looking at the map.

Yan Ren is calculating, he is not only relying on his ability and intuition now, he has learned a lot from Tang Bo, and usually follows the children in class.

Yan Ren has a fast receptive ability and a fast learning speed. At present, only Gu Ding's learning speed can match him, and the others are far behind him.

Tang Bo regards Yan Ren as a big treasure, and besides Gu Ding, this is the most talented person he has found.

Maybe Gu Ding was stimulated by a little competition?Now he is very motivated to study. It is no longer Tang Bo who forcefully instills knowledge into him, but Gu Ding who chases Tang Bo and asks questions, and is especially active in developing and educating his younger brothers.

Yanren is also teaching Donglin, wanting Donglin to be his second in command.Tang Bo had no opinion on this, and recommended many students to him, including Aji's father, Baihe, and Baidou's father, Baihu.

It's also interesting to say that Aji's father, Baihe, and Baidou's father, Baihu, hit it off right away, and the two got along like brothers, and with the addition of their names in white, they felt that the two families were destined to each other.

The Baidou family was warmly welcomed by Aji's family. In the end, these little giants simply lived in Aji's village. The people in the village also welcomed the Baidou family especially after they had no shortage of food. Especially feel safe.

Having said that, Yan Ren doesn't care about Tang Bo letting people come to learn from him. On the contrary, what he admires most about Tang Bo is that Tang Bo never regards knowledge as his private property. He allows people in the territory to learn knowledge from him, and even hopes that they can learn more.

"How?" Tang Bo looked at Yan Ren.

"Wait a minute." Yan Ren is calculating the basic manpower, materials and expenses to connect the mountain streams and canals.

"Originally, we didn't plan to build the canal outside the eastern territory. Now we need to temporarily add a section, and we need to form a complete return flow with the canal in the entire territory. At the same time, we must also consider preventing people from being invaded by the waterway, so we have to add a water gate... …Let’s not talk about labor, just cement and sand, we are far from enough.”

Tang Bo sighed: "The point is still the lack of people. We don't have enough people to crack mountains, burn more lime, dig more yellow sand, and mine more coal and iron ore. Nothing is enough."

He also wanted to make paper and set up some non-staple food workshops, but because of insufficient manpower, he had to put it aside temporarily.

And when the spring begins, the people on hand will not mention the defectors, and at least half of the others will be used to reclaim the fields and cultivate them.

If the defectors wanted to go back to the red taro collar at that time, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

Yan Ren raised his head, "Lord, how long can you last with the food in your hands?"

Nowadays, food and salt are in charge. Even if you have a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron in your hands, when there is a food shortage, these metals are just waste.

To develop a territory, the most important thing is to have food.

Tang Bo is well aware of this, and the food control in the territory is also very strict. "The population of the territory is about 800 people. Because of work, I need to feed them and eat a little bit better. I can probably for two months."

Yan Ren frowned: "It will be the middle of spring in two months, and there is still very little food. Although there are large forests, we can go to the forests to find food, but we can only provide a small amount. We can't kill the wild animals in the mountains at once. and plants are emptied."

Tang Bo was wondering what kind of grains would mature in spring, and whether he could buy a large amount of grains from several nearby territories.

After the autumn harvest last year, he asked people to plant a lot of radishes, and these radishes have been harvested one after another.

He also tried to plant some soybeans, probably because the soil and water were not suitable for him, so the effect was not particularly good, but he still had to see the harvest.

There are also leeks, but this thing can't be eaten as a meal, and I can't eat enough.

Spring wheat is the most suitable, but unfortunately they don't have spring wheat seeds here. He wants to try to cultivate it himself, but he hasn't seen any results yet.

Chinese cabbage is also good, but unfortunately he has no seeds on hand.

"It's already the end of January. If we send more people, can the entire canal be completed by the end of next month?" Tang Bo asked.

Yan Ren looked at his records, "If you don't consider connecting with the stream in the mountain, add another two hundred workers in the prime of life, only the canals and reservoirs in the territory can be initially completed, and you can try to release the water after the cement dries."

Tang Bo knocked on the table, "Then call back the salt workers who dig iron ore and coal mines first, and let them work with the people who opened the canal to complete the canal and reservoir first. The canal connected to the mountain stream can be slightly Postpone."

He had to complete the three tasks assigned by Goudan before March [-]rd.

He has only completed one of these three tasks. The canal seems to be completed, but thousands of acres of fertile land are still far away.

"Yan Ren, I'm going to leave for a while. Can I hand over all the canal and reservoir matters to you by the end of next month?" Tang Bo stared closely at Yan Ren.

Yan Ren swallowed his saliva, "Well, it should be no problem to let Donglin cooperate with me. The salt workers listen to him. In addition, I also leave a few of the little giants. The workers are afraid of them."

Tang Bo smiled, "Okay, I will only take Baidou, Gu Ding, Ah Shu and Tian Min to leave, and Jia Dou and the housekeeper will stay. If you encounter something that you can't solve, you can ask them. I will also explain them."

After explaining to the housekeeper for a long time, Tang Bo took his father Tang Ze and several servants to Sanshu City.

Gu Ding is in Sanshu City now, he has to pick up this kid.

Bai Dou was also beside Gu Ding, and he and another little giant Bai Guo became Gu Ding's temporary bodyguards, responsible for Gu Ding's safety.

In order to give Gu Ding a boost and to protect him more comprehensively, Tang Bo arranged for him four slaves, two men and two women.

He transferred all four slaves to Gu Ding to ensure their loyalty to Gu Ding.

With these four slaves around Gu Ding, at least he can feel a little more at ease when it comes to eating and drinking.

However, Gu Ding is not afraid of people poisoning him. He has a certain sensitivity to vegetation. After a period of systematic study, he is even more proficient than ordinary pharmacists. It is difficult to hide ordinary poisons from him.

In addition, Tang Bo also sent Piglet to Gu Ding.

Piglet was very happy to get this task, and he felt that this was the beginning of Tang Bo's trust in him.

Anyway, he won't be able to get the title of the Lord of the Three Trees, so instead of letting the other Gu family who don't like him and want to kill him get the title, it's better to hold Gu Ding to the top.

With Pijie, a local snake who is very familiar with the inside and outside of Sanshu's collar, Gu Ding's safety will be more secure, and his work will be much more convenient.

"You finally think of me, right?" The little Gu Ding stood on the chair with his hips crossed, his teeth gritted.
