The infrastructure construction in Wolong Village is in full swing.

The first person to come back was Liao Hua, who bought some iron ore near Xiangyang.

The quality is so-so, but since it's not used to make weapons but mixed into cement, it doesn't matter.

After more than half a month, Zhao Yun also came back.

The miners they brought back were mainly from near Kuaiji.

Many people live in the same town or village.

Finding people isn't too complicated.

Zhuge Liang and his team wrote letters for almost everyone, and seventy or eighty local people also went with them.

In the future, people who know how to read will have to read the letters. After the locals explained the life in Wolong Village, how could these people not be willing?

Not to mention that Lu Bu has been very powerful recently and is threatening Jiangdong.

The only place with less war is Jingzhou.

Many of these people have no assets, and some only have a few acres of thin land. When they heard that Wolong Village was distributing land and providing high-yield grain seeds, they simply gave up their land.

In this way, Zhao Yun successfully brought back more than 3,000 people.

Wolong Village suddenly became lively.

Zhuge Tian and his men had set up camp in Wolong Village in advance.

The 20,000 Shanyue troops that Wu Jing led at that time lost the entire camp.

These tents are more than enough to accommodate more than 3,000 people.

To welcome them and to put them at ease.

Zhuge Tian and his team immediately held a welcome party.

There wasn't much meat, but there was plenty of food.

As long as you can eat it and don’t waste it, you can take as much as you want.

Then the next day, each person was given a month's worth of food.

It is still distributed according to the standards of Wolong Village. If these people stay in their original place, this food will be enough for them to eat for three months.

The next step is to arrange the work.

The moat around the city can be dug using Zhuge Tian’s heavy truck.

But repairing the city wall still depends on manpower.

What's more, the specifications of the city wall designed by Zhuge Tian and his team this time are quite high.

The height alone is 13 meters high.

In terms of thickness, the bottom is about 18 meters thick, and the top of the city wall is 12 meters thick.

This requires a lot of manpower to build.

Wolong Village sent nearly a thousand people to follow Gan Ning to Dangyang to dig limestone.

The remaining manpower in the village is a bit tight.

With the arrival of so many new workers, the progress of the project has been greatly accelerated.

It takes about ten hours from morning to night. The village provides bread and rice, enough staple food and pickles, and you can see some minced meat every day.

There is a big meat meal every three days.

In addition, for every day of work, you can receive three days of food rations.

In other words, if there is one strong laborer in a family, they can support at least three more people.

After all, the food rations distributed by Wolong Village are based on the village’s standards.

If you eat sparingly, it will be no problem to feed five or six people.

This kind of day was something we could never have imagined in the past.

So the new residents from Kuaiji started working with almost no rest.

Such a good thing has never been seen, let alone heard of, in this chaotic world.

If someone doesn't let them work now, they will get angry with that person.

Isn’t it just to have a full meal that the whole family comes here with their whole family?

What's more, the wall was built to protect their future home.

Who wouldn't be attentive?

Outside Wolong Village, where it is still a bit cold, people are working in full swing every day.

"Pah! Pah!" A young man in his twenties used the wooden hammer in his hand to compact the soil under his feet.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Wang Ermu beside him: "Brother Ermu, I heard that all this soil was dug out by the sacred beast of the Hanxing Master in the village?"

The Ermu being asked came from Wolong Village last year after fleeing famine.

Hearing the young man's question, he nodded proudly: "Of course, the whole village saw it."

"The mythical beast of Prince Hanxing is as tall as a two-story building. It has no legs, but it has more than ten large wheels."

"It makes a rumbling sound when it runs, faster than an ox. I heard from Master Kongming that if the road is good, it can easily cover hundreds of miles a day."

"The tail behind the mythical beast can be removed and replaced with any other tail."

"This time, the digging tail is like a giant rake connected to the ground. Once it's inserted into the soil, the beast runs ahead, and the tail can loosen five or six feet of soil."

"Before you came, we followed the divine beast every day, shoveling out the loosened soil and piling it up here. The moat you see now was dug out by Prince Hanxing's divine beast in just half a month."

"Then... why is the beast gone now?"

"It's transformed back!" Wang Ermu stood on the mound and pointed at Zhuge Tian's yard in the village: "See? Master Hanxing's yard is what the mythical beast transformed it into."

"Every day during the day, the mythical beast comes out to dig the soil, and then at night it transforms back into a house, and Master Hanxing lives in it."

"Dig every day?" asked the young man.

"No, we took a break one day. I heard it was because of a lack of electricity. But after a day of sun, we started digging again the next day."

After saying that, Wang Ermu warned, "Gong Zhou, right? If you stay here for a long time, you will always see the mythical beasts of Prince Hanxing, so don't run to Prince Hanxing out of curiosity."

"Although Master Hanxing is easy to talk to, you can't just enter his courtyard casually."

"Those mythical beasts?" Gong Zhou seized on the word, "Does this mean that Prince Hanxing has more than one mythical beast?"

"Yes, there are also a few smaller mythical beasts, but I heard that those mythical beasts eat oil or something, so they are usually not visible."

Gong Zhou nodded, glanced at Zhuge Tian's yard, and continued working.

He just asked Wang Ermu some questions from time to time.

Because those things were known to everyone in the village, Wang Ermu did not hide them.

When talking to Gong Zhou, Gong Zhou would praise him from time to time.

And the praise was just right, which made Wang Ermu very comfortable.

So he answered whatever Gong Zhou asked.

"Brother Ermu, you guys came early. Do you usually get so much food when you work?"

"Yes, but it depends on how hard the work is. If it's not that hard, the food you get will be slightly less." Wang Ermu patted Gong Zhou's shoulder: "But don't worry, as long as you work hard in the village, you will definitely not starve."

"What if we can't finish the food? You said your family of four are all working in the village. Wouldn't that mean they can earn a lot of extra food every month?"

"Well, if you can't finish it, you can sell it back to the village. It's all sold at market price. You can use the money from the sale to buy things at Master Hanxing's shop."

"The first and fifteenth day of every month is the day to open the store."

"Shop? Master Hanxing still has a shop?"

"Yes, his yard is his store. It's called a convenience store. There are so many things in it, many of which you can't buy outside."

Wang Ermu grinned: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and it's time to open the shop. The money I have saved at home is almost enough to buy a set of armor from Master Hanxing."

"If anyone in the village wants to go out to fight, they need their own armor. The armor sold by Master Hanxing is practically invulnerable to swords and spears. If you have armor and can go out to fight, you can make even more money!"

Gong Zhou's eyes turned: "Then when Ermu goes shopping tomorrow, can you take me to see the world?"

"Okay, I'll take you to see it tomorrow." Wang Ermu said, patting his chest.
