Humane Yongchang

Chapter 75 Night Attack (seeking Monthly Pass)

The construction of the rain altar was much larger than Chen Sheng had expected.

The main reason is that his concept of the data of 24 feet in area and [-] feet in height is too vague!

It wasn't until the foreman invited by Chen Shou, who instructed the uncles in the family to hold ropes that were ten feet long, around a wasteland bag in the center of the farm and began to lay out the line... He suddenly reacted, what's the matter? One zhang is three meters long!
It covers an area of ​​24 feet, that is, it covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, almost catching up with half of a basketball court!
Plus three feet high, that is more than ten meters high.

Although the second floor occupies only half the area of ​​the first floor, the third floor is only half the size of the second floor.

But that's also ten meters high!
What's more, we have to dig soil and compact it!

This amount of work, even if a dozen or so excavators were actually acquired, I am afraid that it would take two or three days to complete.

What's more, manpower?

Even the guys from the Chen family in the business, the minimum is a strong labor force of three or four forging bones, carrying three or four hundred kilograms of heavy objects and walking like a fly, it is definitely not something that can be done in one night!
When "Sheng, liberal arts student, math was taught by a physical education teacher, Chen" realized how big a project this was, he was stunned... and even began to doubt that such a big project would be built for the sake of this hundred and ten acres of land. , is it worth it?

On the contrary, the guys from the Chen family were not intimidated by the huge amount of work.

They held tools such as shovels and hoes, and gathered in groups of three or five, jokingly talking about jokes such as "I have eaten the sand all my life, and this is the first time I have dealt with the fields."

Of course they are not blind, of course they can see what Chen Sheng can see.

It's just that compared to putting your head on the belt of your trousers to go shopping, this job is really not difficult except that it's a bit tiring.

And they understand one more thing: the father and son of the Chen family are tossing about these things just to get them a bite to eat!
They saw these things in their eyes and remembered them in their hearts.

A family, they will not be hypocritical with the Chen family.

When they need their help, they will not spit half a word!
……

Chen Sheng wasn't quite sure whether this work could be done... If it took ten days and a half months to get it done, then it wouldn't be necessary!
But soon, he heard Chen Shou invited the foreman to say that the specifications of this wasteland bag are not far from that of the soil platform, and it can be transformed into the specifications of the soil platform after trimming. .

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart... Thank you, Big Brother Wasteland Bao, for your selfless dedication, and I will set up a tablet to honor you as the god of the land when we are done.

That night.

The No. [-] clerk of the Chen family, who was a merchant, lit a bonfire and worked overtime to trim the earthbags.

They first dug up the steep wasteland bag, which was fifteen or six meters high and only fourteen or five meters long and wide, and pushed the excess soil below.

When digging to a height of about ten meters, get down from the soil bag, and spread the pushed down soil little by little to the entire soil platform space where the line is placed...

Chen Sheng didn't go home either, so he set up a shack next to the construction site, and made the flags on the spot with the various colors of cloth he brought with him.

There are 28 constellation flags and 64 hexagram flags, each of which has subtle differences, and no one else can help, so he has to make it himself... The right is to accompany these uncles who stay up all night.

Just a little worried that he didn't go home tonight, whether Qingniang would worry about him.

In the past at home, if he didn't go to sleep, she wouldn't go to sleep.

It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that before he knew it, it was no longer just Mother Qing who couldn't let him go, and he couldn't let her go either.

……

midnight.

A violent hoof sound quickly came from far to near.

Chen Sheng, who was dozing in the shack, was woken up by him. He climbed out of the shack with both hands and feet, and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.

"Second master, eldest son?"

He rushed into the construction site, reined in his horse and shouted.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng hurried up to meet him, "Uncle Dao, what happened?"

As soon as he said the words, Chen Shou, who was shirtless and covered in mud, came out of nowhere, grabbed the reins of Chen Dao's mount, and asked anxiously, "Knife, but those rogues have come over?"

Chen Dao jumped off the horse's back, and said quickly but not panicked: "Come on, I'm going to Changjiazhuang!"

Chen Shou: "Changjiazhuang?"

Chen Sheng: "How many people came?"

The father and son spoke at the same time, but the contents were quite different.

Chen Dao: "There are about 300 people and more than [-] riders!"

Chen Sheng lost his voice: "These people still have war horses?"

Chen Dao shook his head and said, "They are all horses pulling carts, not war horses."

'A horse is also a horse, there is a big difference between having a horse and not having a horse! '

Chen Sheng secretly said, feeling a lot of trouble in his heart.

Chen Shou also felt that this matter was difficult to handle. After scratching his scalp irritably, he turned his attention to Chen Sheng: "Deflated calf, what do you think should be done?"

Chen Shenghaoxuan didn't give him a blank eye, thinking that you are really a father, a boss who has nothing to do, and a calf who has something to do: "Dad, how many people are there in Changjiazhuang? Can there be village brave?"

"no!"

Chen Shou replied without thinking: "Changjiazhuang is only a foot away from the county seat. In the past, there was no worry about robbery by bandits and bandits, so village brave was not established."

Just as Chen Sheng was about to speak, a voice interjected: "Although Chang's Village has no village bravery, there is Chang Wei and Chang Jun, so it shouldn't be easily destroyed by robbers!"

It's Chen Hu.

Chen Sheng hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, who is Chang Wei?"

Chen Shou said: "How could I have forgotten that fellow... That fellow was a soldier in the Yangzhou Bolang Army, and he followed the army into the Baiyue Land seven years ago, accumulating merit to five hundred masters and fake military marquis. It's a pity that he is stinky and tough, and he was not able to become a military marquis.

He paused and concluded: "All in all, he is a character with real ability, but with a very poor temperament and incompetence!"

"Ok?"

Chen Sheng gave Chen Shou a strange look.

Chen Hu understood and said with a smile: "Your father also had the idea of ​​pulling that guy into the caravan back then, but he came to visit three times, but he didn't get a good face from that guy."

Chen Sheng stretched his tone "Oh" and asked again, "Second Uncle, how many people are there in Changjiazhuang?"

Chen Hu looked at Chen Shou and saw that his face was sullen and silent, so he said: "Changjiazhuang is a big village, and in terms of people's power, it is only below Wangjiazhuang... At least there are four or five hundred households!"

Chen Sheng: "Huh?"

Chen Hu explained: "Dalang, the outside of the city is no better than the county. It seems that our family's twenty or thirty farms are serious farms. If Wangjiazhuang and Changjiazhuang are not close to the county seat, it is difficult to have four or five hundred households. Ding."

Chen Sheng immediately realized that the farmers of this era were still tied to the cultivated land, and the cultivated land in an area was limited, and the farmers that the farmland could support was naturally limited.You can't walk hundreds of miles every day to plow the fields, right?
But four or five hundred households...that's enough!

"Father, let the uncles put down their work and drink water and rest on the spot!"

Chen Sheng said quickly: "Uncle Dao, you go to Changzhuang and watch, and when the rogues are about to break the Changjiazhuang, you will come back and let us know... Tell your uncles that it is important to save yourself, see you. It's not right, retreat immediately!"

Chen Dao smiled: "My lord, I'm worrying too much. The hundreds of thousands of barbarians in northern Xinjiang have never left behind me and my 15 brothers. This little bandit is worthless!"

When Chen Sheng heard the words, he quickly grabbed his arm and shook his head seriously: "Uncle Dao, it's not because the little nephew doesn't believe in your ability, but because the jade doesn't touch the earthenware pot, you have just arrived home, and it's not even a few days old. It's a comfortable day, don't say who's broken, even if you scratch a little oily skin, it's not worth it!"

Infected by his solemnity, Chen Dao slowly suppressed the smile on his face, nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, Da Lang, I'll wait for 15 people to go, and 15 people will definitely return it!"

Only then did Chen Sheng let go of his wrist with satisfaction. He really believed in Chen Dao and the others, and he was really afraid that they would be negligent because of their ability.

"Then we will call you here!"

Chen Dao nodded, and after saying hello to Chen Shou and Chen Hu, he neatly turned his horse and turned his head into the night.

After he left, Chen Shoucai said, "Defined calf, what do you think?"

Chen Shengdao: "Lips die... Oh, you haven't heard of this truth. To put it simply, our Zhuangzi and Chang's Zhuang live next to each other. If even Chang's Zhuang is poisoned by those rogues, our Zhuangzi will Can you still get it?"

"Don't point at the signboard of our family to scare off these rogues. If they are really afraid of our family, then they should at least give our family a message before they attack Changjiazhuang, so as to avoid unnecessary causes. misunderstanding!"

"Have you received a message from that gang of rogues?"

"In that case, instead of waiting for them to overthrow the Chang family village and then come to our family, it is better to take advantage of the fact that they and the Chang family village are inseparable, and give them a slap in the face, even if they can't kill them, they must be killed. It makes them afraid, so that they will go around the road when they hear the name of the Chen family in the future, and dare not attack our family's idea!"

Chen Shou and Chen Hu looked at each other, then shook their heads together: "I understand the truth, but you are still a little more tender, like these rogues, they are all shameless and lifeless masters, you point to a The knife kills them so timid, I'm afraid it won't be so easy!"

Chen Sheng said without hesitation: "That's easier, kill them all, there will be no trouble later!"

The incident of the Taiping Road branch in Chen County made him realize a very profound truth: a conflict arises, and if it is not dealt with, it will always be a conflict!

Now there is a conflict between their family and those gangsters that cannot be resolved peacefully. Even if they avoid it this time, it will be difficult to avoid it next time. Even if they avoid it next time, they will not be able to avoid it next time... …Unless, their family dismissed all the tenants in the farm and allowed the more than 100 acres of crops to wither and yield nothing!
It's so late, why is he not at home to accompany his wife and sleep well, and pull so many uncles to work in this wild country?
Is it to make all the crops in this [-]-acre field wither, so as not to attract the attention of those mad dogs who are starving?
Since we can't avoid it, and we can't damage our own interests, we can only apologize to those mad dogs.

After Chen Shou and Chen Hu looked at each other again, Chen Shou opened his mouth: "Second brother, please go home and get all the brothers' things. You can't carry iron balls and hoes to fight with others."

When Chen Hu heard this, he instinctively looked at Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng understood, shook his head and said, "You can't bring Uncle Thirteen and the others... But if you drop by, please bring your nephew's sword, but don't disturb the Qing Dynasty. Mother, if she knew that you were going to get the sword, she must have guessed that something happened to us, and you can't worry about dying at home alone!"

Chen Hu: Convex (fuck dish f*ck)!

You are really grandfathers!

……

Chen Hu scolded and went looking for a horse.

After he left, Chen Shoucai said in a low voice dissatisfied: "What do you mean, deflated calf, is it in your heart that it matters that you uncles are not like the group of robbers under Old Thirteen?"

Chen Sheng glanced at him helplessly and sighed: "Dad, although your brain is really not very good, you can't really think it doesn't exist!"

Chen Shou was stunned for a while, then he swung his palm to Chen Sheng's forehead: "Nizi, dare to turn around and scold your father?"

Chen Sheng was prepared for a long time, and took a step back calmly to avoid his slap: "It was originally, think for yourself, what are you talking about? Has it gone over your head?"

Chen Shou was stunned for a while, then scratched his head and said, "Then why do you say that?"

Chen Sheng pointed at the stars all over the sky tiredly: "Do you think, at this time, where can Uncle Thirteen go to call someone?"

Chen Shou thought for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "It's also ha ha ha ha ha, isn't I afraid that you, a shriveled calf, can't tell which is more important?"

Chen Sheng: "Hehe..."

In fact, the wrong time is only one factor.

Another factor is that the Tiger Hall is in a critical period of formation of its inner centripetal force, and it cannot be drawn to fight such a tough battle that has nothing to do with the interests of the Tiger Hall, and it will fall apart!

Not to mention that it won't have any positive effect at that time, and it may in turn affect their battle against the bandits.

The follow-up negative effects are even more of a catch!

Therefore, pulling Menghutang to participate in this battle is pure disadvantage and no advantage!
But what Chen Shou said was indeed a problem.

Protecting the farm is to get food.

Getting food is to save lives.

In order to protect the farm, he lost his life.

A bit suspicious of putting the cart before the horse...

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng quickly followed Chen Shou's pace, and asked in a low voice, "Father, in the past, when you sold goods, how did you deal with those unruly rogues? Killing all the rogues without hurting anyone at home?"

Chen Shou said without thinking: "There must be, but it is not suitable for now."

Chen Sheng: "Why not use it?"

Chen Shou glanced at him: "Then tell me, how can we quietly touch the surroundings of this group of robbers, and kill them one by one?"

Chen Sheng: Special tactics?That's really kind of useless.

Ok?
and many more!

Why doesn't it work?

Chen Sheng glanced at the surrounding uncles who were covered in mud and staggered.

These guys don't look like good people!

Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Chen Shou in front of him: "Dad, you take some uncles to Zhuangzi and ask the tenants to borrow clothes... No, let's buy a piece of clothing for [-] bucks, and when we're done. , and return the clothes to them!"

How come those thirty horses are not worth just that much?
What, Ma is that gang of rogues?
Nonsense!

He Chen Sheng has already taken a fancy to it, of course it is his!
