Chapter 132 City defense construction (anti-theft)
In the city, the aborigines who didn't know all this were hiding underground like groundhogs.

Every day at about three o'clock in the morning, they would carefully crawl out of the cellar to get some air.

The reason for coming out at this time is that the Tartars and barbarians have already mopped up and left, and it will be much safer for them to come out.

However, before this moment, they who were hiding underground suddenly noticed that there were many footsteps above their heads, even accompanied by the clacking of horseshoes.

"Could it be that the Tartars are here again?" Liu Shoucheng, the eldest son of the village, couldn't help but frowned. He glanced at the child in his wife's arms, and said in a deep voice, "It's stuffy here, we need to find a time for him to go out to get some air. .”

"I'm afraid not." Liu Shouye leaned against the wall and listened carefully, and said softly, "There are a lot of people up there, and there are also a lot of horses, so we have to wait until night to go out.

If there are barbarians outside, it's okay, they will leave in a while, but if it is a tartar, I am afraid that they will have to stay for another two or three days. "

"Hey," Liu Shouye's daughter-in-law sighed, looked at her daughter lying on her lap, and sighed, "I don't know when I will be tall in such a day."

"Didn't the old man say that the new county guard is going to take over our place?" On the side, Liu Shoucheng's daughter-in-law suddenly spoke. She patted the three-month-old baby in her arms and said softly, "Could it be theirs?" ?”

Hearing this, everyone in the cellar couldn't help being stunned. Liu Shoucheng and the two brothers looked at each other, and they both saw the eager expression in each other's eyes.

Liu Shouye said: "Brother, I'll go up and have a look."

Liu Shoucheng shook his head, "I'll go, you stay here to protect everyone." After finishing speaking, he inserted the sickle into the belt on his back, and walked towards the exit with a stoop.

On the ground, the huge city lord's mansion has been completely demolished. After a quick cleanup and leveling, dozens of military tents have been set up. At this moment, the materials brought by the Lu family are being piled into it one by one.

Liu Baoguo looked at the mountain of grain, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly burst into tears. He suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed in Lu Anran's direction: "My lord, thank you, thank you, my lord, woo..."

"Hey, old man, what are you doing!"

Lu Anran was arranging the supplies and didn't pay attention to this side.When Lu Xiaolin saw him, he quickly helped him up, "Old man, are you alright?"

Liu Baoguo took a deep breath, wiped away the tears with his withered hands, he choked up and said, "Little brother, you don't know, our Licheng... bitter... woo..."

"Old man, don't cry, talk about things, talk about things, our Lu family isn't coming here." Lu Xiaolin pulled people at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Little brother, here we have no food, no one coming, no crops can be grown in the field, and the Tartars..."

Listening to the old man's cry, Lu Xiaolin and the surrounding Lu family couldn't help being shocked. Is it so hard here?Also... from time to time there are Tartars coming to plunder?So what are they doing here?

For a moment, everyone's thoughts changed, it's so dangerous, why not... go back?
Lu Xiaolin didn't know what other people thought, but he didn't think about going back, otherwise he wouldn't have come to beg Lu Anran himself.

At this moment, he patted Liu Shouguo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old man, don't be afraid, this kind of thing will never happen in the future. The prefect Lu Anran took office by order, and she will never let you be persecuted by tartars and barbarians To the penny."

"I believe, I believe her." Liu Shouguo nodded, he looked at Lu Anran standing in front of the tent, and smiled: "Anyone can disbelieve, but she must be disbelieved."

Lu Anran didn't know what happened here.

Seeing the young and strong Lu family constantly moving food from the carriage into the tent, he probably had an idea in his mind, and then gave the design drawings of the city wall and sewer to Lu Wenyi and Lu Ziqi next to him:

"Father, second brother, take this cloth and get ready to start work."

"Start work?" Lu Wen also glanced at the more than 100 people in the Lu family, his eyebrows frowned, and Doudou was joking with him?

Seeing his thoughts, Lu Anran said angrily: "In an hour, the first batch of 5 slaves will arrive here.

Your main job now is to coordinate everything, including accommodation, dinner, toileting, sleeping and a series of other things.

After the arrangement, immediately plan the city defense, the inner city wall, the outer city wall, and then start from the outer city wall. When the city wall is started, the sewers will also be carried out, you know? "

After Lu Anran finished speaking, she found that the two of them looked at her blankly, with 'Who am I?where am iWhat am I listening to? ''s expression, the corners of Lu Anran's mouth twitched:
"Father, second brother, if you don't know how to do it, just recruit people. There must be some downgraded talents among the slaves, not all ordinary people."

"Oh, that's how it is." Lu Wenyi breathed a sigh of relief, and he just said, how could he manage such a big stall.

Lu Anran couldn't help rubbing his forehead: "Father, didn't you always want to be an official? Isn't this a good opportunity? Be good. If you do well, I will let you be the county magistrate of Licheng."

Lu Wenyi's eyes lit up: "Okay, Dad, let's go get ready."

Seeing him leaving happily, Lu Ziqi couldn't help sighing, his father's head is really...

"Second Brother," before he finished expressing his feelings, Lu Anran interrupted him, and said slowly: "There is no room for failure in the construction of the city wall, you have to do it yourself, and it is also a time to test your ability.

In two or three days, the second cousin and the others will definitely return to Licheng, and then let him assist you. Remember, it must be fast, but the quality must not be bad. "

Lu Ziqi frowned: "Anran, I can't fully take care of the construction of the city by myself, let alone take the lead. After all, my ability and experience are here, which is not enough to support the construction of the entire city."

"It doesn't matter. Among the slaves who came, there must be no shortage of talents who can build the city. If not, we will recruit workers from the surrounding towns. If the wages are higher, someone will definitely come.

You first prepare all the materials needed in the early stage, and the relevant personnel are ready.At the same time, there are distributions such as food, grass, and housing, and your tasks are very heavy. "

"You believe me that much?"

"You are my second brother, I don't believe who you trust."

Lu Ziqi's heart trembled, he opened his mouth, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll go and make arrangements for the Lu clan first."

"En." Lu Anran nodded, if no one was available, she wouldn't have spurred Lu Ziqi like this, she just hoped that there would be no shortage of talents among the slaves who came this afternoon, eh...

"grown ups!"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard an old voice behind him. Lu Anran turned his head to look, and saw Liu Baoguo running up, and said with a smile: "My lord, I am going to bring the villagers of our village into the construction of Licheng. You look……"

"This is a good thing." Lu Anran smiled, tapped his foot on the ground, and said meaningfully: "As long as the aborigines are willing to come, I assure you, after the city is built, each household will be allocated a flat, and all the work will be done. How about giving priority to the aborigines?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away, I'll go find them right away." Liu Baoguo immediately ran away with a smile.

Lu Anran looked at his leaving back, did not speak, but glanced deeply at the ground.

On the other side, after Liu Baoguo ran away, he walked left and right, and finally came to the kitchen in his own yard. He was about to open the cauldron, but he saw the pot moved and was pushed up. , Liu Shoucheng stood up from inside.

Seeing each other, the two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help being stunned. The latter said in surprise, "Father, why are you here?"
