Chapter 66 Exotic Development

Three months later, the Chu Kingdom was about to be stormy. There were successive wars in the north, food harvests were poor, and there were war disasters, which caused the people to flee. Influenced by the south, the Chu royal family did not care about the lives of the people, and forcibly levied food and soldiers to meet the needs of the war.

, causing food prices to skyrocket. Corrupt officials fished in troubled waters, and countless ordinary people's families went bankrupt and could not afford a grain of rice.

Du Le's villa was under development at this time.

After a recruitment, a group of talented people with good literacy and good physical fitness entered the villa and became a part of the villa.

Under Du Le's instructions, the villa was divided into two parts: external and internal. Internally, it was mainly responsible for arranging the internal management of the villa, which was still the responsibility of the original housekeeper. Externally, it was divided into several parts, including the warriors who protected the village, the workshop,

Mines, Ministry of Agriculture, and Personnel Department.

After calculation, Du Le's theft in Manchester City was enough to support millions of people for three months if he lived frugally. Therefore, in order to protect his own industry in troubled times, Du Le decided to continue to expand the number of strong men in the nursing home.

And changed their name to the warriors who protect the village. The warriors who protect the village are divided into teams of 100 people and groups of 1,000 people. The number is stable at 3,000 people. An elimination system is adopted. Every three

An assessment is conducted every month. Those who are strong in physical strength and force will be ranked first, and those who are weak will be ranked lower. Loyalty, discipline, and high treatment are emphasized. In addition to the warriors who protect the village, there are also ordinary village guards. As long as they are strong men with good physical fitness, they will be recruited to join the training. The number of

The number is limited to about 10,000 people, and the salary is low. They also train on weekdays, and are mainly responsible for guarding mines, farmland, mountain roads, and patrolling.

The Gongfang is mainly responsible for building houses. The number of people is about a thousand. A large number of houses are built in front of, behind and at the foot of the villa to accommodate the refugees who come at any time.

The mine is where the original energy stone veins are located. It manages the mining workers and minerals, maintains the workers' basic wages, basic food and drink, and provides housing and working hours.

The Ministry of Agriculture, in addition to continuing to plant five-leaf clover, has also begun to plant other crops. The villas have also bought the fields under the mountains one by one through various means and arranged for manpower to cultivate them. The Ministry of Agriculture is the department that manages planting.

The Personnel Department is a department that specializes in registering, recruiting, arranging work, and arranging residence for villa residents and refugees.

In the general situation where the gates of big cities such as Jinyang City are closed and refugees are refused, except for a small number of people who have the conditions to flee to surrounding countries, the remaining refugees take action after hearing the news that there is food in the villa. Countless northern refugees, and even

It was the poor people in the south who were short of food and clothing who rushed to Du Le's villa.

Every day, hundreds or even thousands of people flock to the villa at the intersection below the villa in order to seek a stable life. The pressure on the villa has suddenly increased. The increase in population has made management more difficult.

Of course, as a businessman, in addition to arranging and relieving refugees, and paying gold coins every day as wages for villa armed forces, mine workers, and agricultural workers, Du Le will not give up earning gold coins. After all, in addition to food,

, there are some meat products, especially fresh pork, fish, and sometimes pork

Le personally went to the vegetable market or fish pond in the suburbs to buy it. Therefore, Du Le sold various rations in limited quantities at twice the market price before the chaos. For example, a fish costs two gold coins, and a pound of pork costs one gold coin. There is another reason.

The purpose is to accumulate some gold coins so that they can be used for emergencies when there is no extra Chinese dollars.

At the foot of the mountain, not far from the mountain gate, a residential area covering dozens of square kilometers and with relatively flat terrain rose up. This was the first batch of houses that Du Le arranged for the workers to work day and night to build and began to be put into use. After personnel

Refugees registered with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development can get a house as long as they sign a contract of employment in the villa or pay gold coins.

After three months of development, this settlement has even led people from many surrounding mountain villages to come here to do business because the town is closed from time to time and cannot trade daily necessities. Du Le named this settlement Xingminxu, and

The second, eighth, twelfth, eighteenth, twenty-second and twenty-eighth days of each month are designated as market days.

It is a rest day, and the employees of the village can take turns to have holidays during these four days, and they are open to accept outsiders for transactions. The bulletin board in the residence will also post the latest announcements of the village from time to time. In order to prevent bandits and robbers, outside Xingmin Market,

Relying on the mountain walls on both sides, Du Le also asked the housekeeper to arrange for workers to build a mixed earth and wood wall about five meters high at the entrance to the mountain.

In the early morning, the sun had just risen and the gate of Xingmin Market had not yet been opened. There were already hundreds of people waiting outside the door with shoulder bags in hand.

The two gatekeepers stood behind the door with their backs straightened and one-meter-long wooden sticks in their hands, just like in the old market, waiting for the captain to ring the opening bell.

Ta Ta Ta Ta, a patrol team of about twenty people quickly walked to the gate. They were here to maintain the order of entry. The owner of the village stipulated that all those doing business in the market must act according to the rules and line up to enter.

, set up stalls in designated places, and are not allowed to cause trouble, otherwise they will be punished.

Among the people waiting outside the wall, there were three people in brocade clothes standing on the roadside waiting together. If Xiao Duocai were here, he would definitely recognize that one of them is the chief arrester of Jinyang City who often goes to the delicious Xuan Noodle House.

Huang Daya.

"This villa is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The owner of the villa built a town at the foot of the mountain to win people's hearts and accumulate soldiers. He is very determined." A young man in brocade clothes with a paper fan in his hand pointed to the guard on the earthen wall.

"Sir, you are right! I think the people here are plotting..." Huang Daya said.

"Be careful!" Another young man wearing a sword around his waist and wearing a smart outfit patted Huang Daya's shoulder and interrupted him.

"If you mess up your business, you will be punished by death."

Huang Daya quickly covered his mouth and looked around. People around him were waiting for the door to open, but no one paid attention to them. The young man was none other than the third prince of Chu State, Duan Shen. The young man in well-dressed clothes who followed him was Chu State's third prince.

The first-class imperial guard, Fei Qing and Huang Daya, was sent by the prefect of Jinyang City as the attendant and guide of Prince Shen.

The reason Prince Shen came to the outside of the villa was because an official reported to the royal family that the number of refugees in Jinyang City had decreased, and a villa outside the city seemed to be gathering refugees to gather power, fearing that something might happen.

In addition, the villa was not very far from Jinyang City, so the royal family became worried and decided to go to investigate. Since they happened to encounter the market, the prince carefully asked for orders and decided to personally lead more than a hundred guards to a place twenty miles away.

While stationed, the three of them went into the mountain first to check the situation.

The door opened, and the crowd shouted. The crowd surged. Only then did Prince Shen realize that many people, about a thousand people, had joined the people who originally only had a few hundred people.

Prince Shen frowned. The door opened, but before he was allowed to leave, he saw a group of soldiers with swords walking out of the door, asking people at the door to line up in two lines and enter in an orderly manner.

As a member of the royal family, Prince Shenke has never experienced such a thing as queuing up. Wherever he goes, others line up to welcome him. Which time does he get to line up? But as an ambitious and ambitious prince, he does not

He planned to have an attack, but instead asked Fei Qing and Huang Daya to line up together and hide in the crowd to enter.
