On the afternoon of April 25, 2019, the sun sets in the west, and the evening breeze blows gently.

In the open space in front of the gate of the bandits' village, more than 150 men, women, young and old knelt on the ground in a mess. Most of them lowered their heads and their bodies trembled slightly. An hour ago, through the oral narration of the bandits who surrendered, these people knew what happened in the village. Although they were repeatedly told that the new lord would not hurt them, they were still frightened. Some people even thought that the new lord was actually the new lord leader.

Zhengliang is very clear about the ideas of these people. If the ideas of these people are allowed to breed, it is likely that these people will try their best to escape. Once they escape, the situation of the demise of bandits in the territory will be leaked, which will inevitably lead to the siege of the powerful people nearby who have long been coveting the territory and other bandits. In this regard, Zhengliang cannot arrange a large number of people to take care of these people, right? Therefore, Zhengliang can only come to inspect these newly joined citizens in person, in order to stabilize the hearts of these people as soon as possible and ensure the stability of the territory.

Standing on the temporary high platform, Masayoshi slowly glanced at the people below, and then said, "Everyone, from today on, there will be no bandits in the Yegao Mountains. No matter what you have done before, you will no longer pursue it. Now you will become my subordinates. I, Masayoshi Luo, your new lord, will ensure that you live in peace. But..." Masayoshi looked at the crowd driven by his words and said seriously, "Whoever attempts to escape from the territory or does not follow the arrangements of the territory will be the end." Masayoshi pointed to the right hand and saw four heads hanging on several wooden pillars there, namely the heads of Daro Banshi and the second son of the Oisho Noshio.

"Ah" A burst of screams came from the crowd, and everyone was obviously frightened by the tragic situation of the heads. Masayoro did not continue to look at the performance of the crowd, but slowly walked down the platform and gave a wink at Kisanro who had been waiting below and was already anxious. Kisanro immediately bowed and saluted, then climbed up the platform in two steps and stood on it with an anxious expression. He hoped to find something from the crowd. But most people lowered their heads, which brought difficulties to identification.

In fact, more than an hour ago, with Masayoro's permission, Kissaburo had already searched for his snatched sister in the village to save his stolen sister two years ago, but he still found nothing.

"Sister, are you here?" There was no other way, Kisanro had to shout to the crowd below, "Sister, I am Kisanro, Kisanro from Komaki Village, wuwu, are you here... Lord Lord brought me to save you." He shouted several times in a row, but no one responded in the crowd. Kisanro was a little desperate. He knelt on his knees on the platform, looked up at the sky, and started to cry at the top of his throat. For a mother who lost her father at the age of 13 and took care of her sick mother and young sister alone, the beautiful wish of retrieving her looted sister now seems to be about to be shattered. The shrill howling sounds circling over the quiet open space, making the atmosphere at the scene even more sad.

How can people bear this situation?

"Oh!" sighed silently in his heart. In fact, Masayoshi didn't have much hope for this at the beginning, but he just couldn't bear to hit the hope of this always strong child. So after learning that Kissato's search was fruitless, he still arranged for him to take advantage of the opportunity of this gathering to search again.

"Wow!" Just as Zhengliang was about to turn around and leave, a crisp and tender baby cries suddenly came from the quiet crowd. It was obviously resonating with Kissanro's howling and started crying. Zhengliang looked in the voice and saw a woman with ragged clothes standing up tremblingly, holding a baby wrapped in rags in her arms. The woman squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, staggering towards the platform, and her pale lips trembled slightly due to excitement, "San... Saburo, is it... you?"

"Sister?" Kissanro on the platform had obviously recognized his sister, jumped off the platform without hesitation, rolling and crawling towards the woman.

"Sanlang! Woo woo woo woo woo woo...", "Sister!", Finally, the two met. After a short moment, they hugged each other tightly, and couldn't help crying. People who had the same experience around them couldn't help but feel moved and started crying. For a moment, a crying sounded in the open space.

"Hu" took a deep breath, it turned out that miracles really existed! Masako sighed in his heart. He turned around and looked at the retainers behind him, and found that everyone was sighing. Heiji Togo was even crying, perhaps because of being moved and relieved, or perhaps he blamed himself for not protecting them.

"Hahaha, everyone, reunion of relatives is a happy thing! Heiji, you are responsible for this place, so please comfort them. Tadajiro, please call the two newly appointed craftsmen to me." Masaru calmed down a little, and then said. This result was the best. Kissanro's family reunion, and through this matter, it greatly narrowed the psychological distance between him, the new lord and these new lords, and reduced their fear.

"Little man, friend Bingwei, pay homage to Your Highness", "Little man, pay homage to Your Highness", "Little man, pay homage to Your Highness". When the two of them heard the lord summoning them, they rushed over and saluted Masaru, and they both seemed uneasy.

"Well, you are welcome to join our family. Please ask the two of you in the future for the wooden tools and construction work in the territory." Zhengliang said with a smile to the two craftsmen kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness" both of them usually faced fierce bandits. Today, they were suddenly treated by the new lord. They obviously did not adapt to it, so they had to bow and bow again at a loss.

"Haha, Youbingwei, take this, study it and see if it can be done." Zhengliang took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Youbingwei. The paper was drawn with a brush, which was drawn by Zhengliang's temporary purpose before inspecting the new leadership of the people. In fact, he was not used to the way of sitting on the spot in this era. After sitting for a long time, his legs were all out, so he heard that there were carpenters in the village, so he planned to build a few chairs. Of course, he did not intend to implement this method of sitting. After all, everyone was already accustomed to the etiquette of sitting on the knees, so there was no need to change it at the risk of arousing objection to his retainers. Zhengliang planned to use it for his private time to rest.

Tomobebe quickly got up and took Masayoro's paper, carefully studied the patterns on the paper, frowned, and finally said, "Your Highness, the villain has never made such wooden tools, but the villain can try it."

"Well. But be careful not to reveal this pattern. Just be limited to the few people present. In addition, during this period, you should pay attention to cooperating with Tadajiro to build agricultural tools. You can find Yuki help in solving the materials and alleviate the problem of insufficient agricultural tools in the territory as soon as possible. In terms of manpower, I will arrange some little guys to help you as apprentices, and their food is responsible for the territory." Masayoshi nodded and ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness" the friendly soldiers bowed and bowed.

"Masuke, how long will it take to repair the current parcel wall?" After ordering Tomoebushi, Masaru turned around and looked at Masuke and said.

"Your Highness, if we just build the foundation again and then use wood and mud as the city wall, and have sufficient manpower, it will take about half a month; if we use stone and build the city wall into a stone wall, it will take about four or five months." Masuke frowned and calculated, and then reported it.

"So long?" Zhengliang didn't expect that it would take so long to simply build the city wall of the village. The city wall using wooden mud must be eliminated first. Such a structure can destroy the city wall by a typhoon. It took too long to use stones and was seriously insufficient. Once too many people were drawn, the construction progress of the territory would be greatly delayed. The government thought for a while, and then said, "Come with me." After that, he walked towards the back of the village first.

Under the leadership of Masara, everyone soon came to the near the copper mine, where a large amount of digging soil and stones were placed. At the same time, a stream about five meters wide flowed slowly along the terrain. "Did you see there?" Masarara pointed to a hill near the woods not far away, "Build several earth kilns according to this pattern, the more earth kilns, the better." Masarara said, while taking the pen and paper that Xiao's surname Sahararo had prepared in advance and drawing a simple brick kiln on a piece of paper.

"Yes, Your Highness, this will be completed tomorrow." Marsuke once followed his father to build the Tianshou Pavilion for Daming. Such a simple cave construction was indeed very simple for him.

"Did you see these loess?" After confirming that Masuke understood the structure of the brick kiln, Masayoro pointed to the piles of loess in front of him and continued, "Still piles of loess, hollow them in the middle, pour in clear water, and start mixing with mud after two hours. When mixing with mud, use a wooden stick to increase the stickiness of the soil. At least twice, and wait until the soil is dry and evenly, so that you can make adobe."

Masuke didn't understand what the Lord Lord asked him to do, but he still recorded Masara's request word by word on the paper.

"Let me find someone to flatten a piece of open space in front of the earth kiln. The larger the open space, the better. After it is flat, cover the flat ground with a layer of fine white sand. The white sand will be dug from the stream, and at the same time, trim the river embankment along the coast." Zhengliang continued to instruct, "Your Bingwei, you use dried wood to make dozens of such molds according to this pattern." Zhengliang painted a mold of bricks. The wooden tools are made of wooden boards with a length of 40 cm, a width of 20 cm and a height of 1 cm. They are surrounded by two sides to form a rectangle, and the bottom is spliced ​​with one to three wooden boards about 45 cm long.

"Yes, Your Highness," Youbingwei hurriedly bowed and said.

"Masasuke, after the mold of Tobeebe is finished, you arrange for people to fill the mold with these mixed muds, smash them firmly, and place them on the site. Finally, open the mold and finally form a piece of stripped building clay. Put these clay for two to three days. After the surface of the clay becomes white, you can stand up and dry it. After 70% to 80% dry, you can put it aside to store it, but be careful to avoid being wet by rain." Zhengliang continued to instruct, "After all these are ready, cut more firewood from nearby mountains, but only larger trees are allowed to be cut down, and small trees are not allowed to be cut down. Of course, it is best to arrange for people to burn more firewood and charcoal." Zhengliang does not want to form landslides or mudslides when it rains after cutting off the trees on the mountain.

Finally, Masarura told Masaru in detail about the calcination process and precautions, as well as the water supply techniques after the kiln was burned. Masarura recorded them in detail one by one.

"Masasuke, if these clay materials are successful, we will no longer need to use stones. As for manpower, Heiji, you will start recruiting people from the people tomorrow. The specific number will be determined by you and Masasuke. Each person has five dou of grains a month," said Zhengliang at last, "But remember, what is said here today cannot be spread. All the people participating in these work and their families will move to the mountain village to settle down, and reclaim some fields outside the mountain village and share them with them. Guangzong, you arrange for people to guard the entrance of the canyon, and no one is allowed to leave without my permission. In the future, this canyon will become an important secret place for the territory."

"Yes, Your Highness" saw the lord's extremely serious expression, and everyone was secretly alert in their hearts and responded in unison.

After instructing the work of burning bricks, Masayoshi thought of cement again. In this era, mud or mortar is usually used as the main one. Once it is soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to cause problems. So Masayoshi decided to test the cement he made. Even if it is not high-quality cement, but inferior cement, the effect is much better than the current mud. So Masayoshi once again explained in detail the raw materials and methods of earthen cement to Masayoshi. As for the raw materials of cement, lime and clay, it can basically be found on wild mountains. Of course, the work of burning bricks is still given priority. It is not too late to consider the forging of cement after the burning bricks is on track.

When everything was finished, it was already six o'clock in the evening and the sun was gradually setting. Everyone took the order and left, and Zhengliang also walked towards his new home.
Chapter completed!
