Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 49
"Little San, is what you said true?" Wang Sanpao, the head of Langzhai, sat on the chair of the Juyi Hall in Langzhai, looked at Wu San standing below, and asked in surprise.

Wu Sangong cupped his hands and said: "The young one sneaked into the Longmen Fort a few days ago, and found out that the frontier soldiers there were really rich. Grandma's, every one of them ate white flour steamed buns. There is meat. Even those Kuhaha, who work hard, have white flour steamed buns one by one. I heard that these Kuhaha, each of them can get three taels of silver a month. I have never seen a frontier army conscript corvee to repair the city wall and give money to the peasants."

"This is what money burns. There is nowhere to spend the money, so it has to be spent on these mud legs. Huh, his grandma, we are mistaken. I didn't expect these seven or eight frontier soldiers to be rich. Brother, let's do it." With so much money, we can't let them give it all to those mud legs." The second master, Song Ping, stood up in a hurry, and yelled at Wang Sanpao.

Three master Liu Hailong shot two greedy lights in his eyes, he looked at Wang Sanpao who was sitting on the main seat, and said: "Brother, what the second brother said is right. If we go late, all the money will be taken by this person." A few prodigal frontier troops have been defeated, and we will get nothing by then."

"Yes, yes, the head of the family should give the order quickly, the big knife in my hand is already hungry and thirsty."

"Boss, hurry up and give an order, this is a lot of money."

For a moment, the entire hall was like a noisy vegetable market.

Wang Sanpao stroked the beard on his chin and said, "That's the frontier army. Although it's just a few small soldiers, aren't they afraid of being found out and revenge on us? You know, the frontier army is the most vengeful!"

"Hey, what are you afraid of? The Tartars just ran out of the Great Wall not long ago, who knows if they will kill the carbine again? At that time, as long as we kill all the migrant workers who see us, who knows we did it? Besides, it's just a few frontier soldiers, if you kill them, you will be killed." The second master squinted his eyes and said with a sinister smile.

This group of bandits didn't know that the frontier soldiers in Longmen Fort were Zhao Wen and others.Moreover, even if they knew, these bandits would still rob.Because, since ancient times, people have died for money, birds have died for food, and money has touched people's hearts.

This group of bandits has also heard about Zhao Wen and others killing hundreds of Tartars.However, they didn't know that Zhao Wen had been promoted to the defense of Longmen Castle.

At the beginning, they didn't believe that Zhao Wen and others could kill hundreds of Tartars.After all, how could so many Tartars be killed with only a few soldiers?Could it be that these frontier troops are heavenly soldiers and generals?
Before this group of bandits saw this scene with their own eyes, they would not have believed that Zhao Wen and the others could have such abilities.

Wang Sanpao looked at the extremely excited minions below, and stood up directly from the chair. He picked up the ghost-headed broadsword placed by his feet, pointed at the sky, and said with a grinning smile: "In that case, let's rob his mother!" .Today, let's eat and drink well, sleep well at night, and tomorrow morning, we'll set off to grab his mother."

"The boss is right, steal his mother!"

"Hahahaha, steal his mother."

……

Zhao Wen stood in front of a brick kiln that was burning bricks, feeling the high temperature coming from the kiln.

He looked at the brick kiln in front of him, and said to Wang Liuqi who was standing beside him, "All the firebricks are fired here?"

"Returning to my lord, that's right, there are refractory bricks inside. They came in exactly the order you drew for the villain, but the villain didn't dare to burn too much because he was afraid that the quality of the first kiln would not be good. So he only fired I paid more than 200 yuan." Wang Liuqi wiped the sweat from his brow, and fixed his eyes on the brick kiln mouth.

The kiln bricks have been fired for four days. According to Wang Liuqi's experience, it is almost time to leave the kiln, so he has been guarding the kiln door, directing the people, for fear that if he is not careful, the kiln bricks will be burned to waste.

Zhao Wen looked at the entrance of the kiln to observe the fire, and nodded, "It should be soon, right? I think the fire inside is much smaller."

"Back to the adults, it has been burning for four days. According to the experience of the villain, it should be today. I estimate that it will be out of the kiln around this afternoon."

Wang Liuqi stared closely at the entrance of the kiln, his upper body was naked, and his body was dripping with sweat.

After Zhao Wen stood there for a while, sweat began to flow from his body. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead and said, "If that's the case, then you stay here. I'll go to work first. When the bricks are fired, Remember to tell me."

"Yes!"

Zhao Wen wiped off the sweat from his head, turned and left.

In the past few days, Zhao Daniu and others have been doing what Zhao Wen ordered, so only Li Xiaoying has been by his side all this time.

Zhao Wen looked at the gray sky, and said to Li Xiaoying who was standing beside him without saying a word: "The sky is getting darker and earlier, and the sky is gradually getting darker before the application time. And Looking at the weather, I guess it will snow tomorrow."

"Brother Zhao, this is normal. It's the end of October now. In previous years, it would have snowed." Li Xiaoying said.

Yes, it's the end of October.Converted to the Gregorian calendar of later generations, it will be the end of November.Before I knew it, it had been more than three months since I came to Daming.

Zhao Wen walked slowly in Longmen Fort, looked at the migrant workers who were carrying their burdens and kept dumping soil on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Everything is ready now, the only thing we need is the east wind. Wait until the refractory bricks are burned." Once the cement is out, the cement kiln can be built. After the cement is out, the city wall will be built very quickly.”

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen who was worried, and said relievedly: "Brother Zhao, I see, this city wall will definitely be built before the Chinese New Year. Don't worry about it."

"Actually, I have always had a question."

Zhao Wen turned around and looked at Li Xiaoying, "What question?"

"That's why Big Brother Zhao let these migrant workers keep filling the castle?"

Zhao Wen laughed, and said: "There is a lot of knowledge here. First of all, if you fill the fort with soil, the terrain of Longmen Fort will become higher. And the higher the terrain, there are many benefits. As for this Good thing, hey, you will understand later."

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, he saw Zhao Daniu running over in panic.

"Da Niu, why are you so flustered?"

Zhao Daniu stopped in front of Zhao Wen, gasped, and said: "My lord, it's not good. There are a large number of people coming towards us. It is not good to see the posture. I suspect that these people are likely to attack us. Ours."

Zhao Daniu was digging loess about two miles outside the fort at that time. Just as he was about to put down the hoe in his hand and sit on the ground to rest for a while, he suddenly saw a puff of smoke rising from the northwest towards this side.

Among them, the sound of horseshoes can be heard vaguely.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Daniu secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran towards the castle to report to Zhao Wen.

Song Hu and the others directed the migrant workers to come to the fort.

Zhao Wen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the Tartars run away? Why are there still enemies? Can you see who they are?"

"My lord, I'm not sure. I don't think they are moving fast, so I think they might not be Tartars." Zhao Daniu said out of breath, wiping off the sweat from his forehead.

"You and Song Hu quickly gather the migrant workers outside the city into the fort first, and I'll get the weapons first." After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he rushed to the garrison mansion with a stern expression, and said as he walked: "I But we have to see who is so courageous and dares to play Lao Tzu's idea."

When Li Xiaoying heard this, her complexion changed drastically, and the scene of being broken into by the Tatars at home immediately came to mind.Her complexion was pale, and she hurriedly followed behind Zhao Wen, like a frightened kitten, towards the defense mansion.

　Damn, I was a few minutes late, so I didn't post it.It's the next day's chapter.
