Chapter 108 Construction and Education
In a blink of an eye, it has been seven days since the first village on land was occupied. This time, nearly 300 people came to support from the island.

A mob of people came by boat, all with smiles on their faces.

The land is fertile, the climate is suitable, and the enemy is weak. Everyone is optimistic about this land.

At the turn of spring and summer, the sun at noon is already a little hot. In the breeze, on the burned plain, a group of former villagers, who are now members of the People’s Army reform-through-labor team, are working hard. Turning over the soil, the old and the weak followed behind and planted wheat seeds.

"That's great!" A black and thin man picked up a clay pot with both hands, and filled a pottery bowl made of the same material with water. The formed wheat field grinned involuntarily, as if seeing the scene of wheat harvesting.

These precious wheat seeds will grow wantonly in these wheat fields. This is a good time for them to grow. There are no droughts, locust plagues, wars and accidents, but people's intentional irrigation and expectation.

Squatting not far behind him was a red-haired old man. The old man's body was soaked with sweat, and his hands were trembling while planting the wheat seeds, but he still held on against the sun, for fear that someone would be inattentive. They were beheaded by the People's Army. This kind of labor reform was their punishment for resisting the People's Army.

This scene happened to be seen by Wang Youyuan, who came here for inspection. Without saying a word, he went forward to help the red-haired old man, and then took him to a cool place to drink water and rest.

At first, the old man thought he was taking him to beheaded, kicked his legs in fright, and kept grunting, uttering some words that Wang Youyuan couldn't understand but probably knew they were begging for mercy, and when he was dragged under the tree, Someone brought cold water before he realized it, and hurriedly kowtowed to Wang Youyuan to thank him.

It doesn't matter whether he is red or black, as long as he joins the People's Army, they are all brothers, and there is no reason to criticize them too harshly.

This is Wang Youyuan's idea, as well as Liu Ze's idea. The People's Army is not a colonist. On the contrary, the People's Army is their enlightened mentor and savior.

"How's it going? When will it be finished?" Wang Youyuan settled down the red-haired old man and then came to Gu Congli, took a bowl of cool white and drank it in one gulp.

The slightly dark and thin man is Gu Congli. During this period of exposure to the sun, his original bookishness has taken off, and he has become much stronger. He showed a simple and honest smile and said: "These red hairs are really lazy, and they can listen to speech." If you don’t understand, you have to speak with a whip.”

After that, he pointed at the group of red hairs and shook his head.

Originally, Gu Congli was Wang Youyuan's deputy in charge of planting matters, but Wang Youyuan insisted on doing the job of spying out the soldiers. No, after occupying the stronghold on land, in order to solve the staple food problem, Gu Congli was sent to be the leader of the planting team. The person in charge manages the farmland reclamation work here.

After getting along for a period of time, the two became acquainted as expected. It was a friendship between teachers and friends, and they both learned a lot from each other.

"We need manpower. How many nails can our 600-odd people drive?" Wang Youyuan stared blankly at the red-haired white men who were working.

Gu Congli followed his gaze and looked over, "What? Is there going to be a war again?"

"Hahaha." Wang Youyuan laughed presumptuously, "What is a war? It's hunting. We will set off tomorrow. The scout sent out a few days ago has returned. Follow the footprints of the red-haired caravan to find out Besides, there are two other villages near here, and their populations are not large, similar to those here."

For these captive red-haired people, it is generally arranged with a plan to liberate them and give them a good life, but before that, the planned new base still needs a lot of construction.

Farmland needs to be reclaimed, trees need to be cut to build houses, pits need to be dug to build kilns, fortifications need to be excavated, fortifications, and so on require a lot of labor.

These things they have never done before require coercive force to let them know that this is for their future.

This is just a matter of division of labor, absolute justice, and they can enjoy cleaner food and medical care.

Although they still don't understand it now, and are even somewhat dissatisfied, Liu Ze believes that in the near future, they will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of the People's Army.

A few days later, another group of new red hairs joined the big family of the People's Army. This time, more people came. Not counting the old and the weak in the two villages, there were more than 50 young and old, because they were dispatched The troops of the two companies of the People's Army attacked separately, causing the opponents to surrender without even daring to resist.

The whole day of heavy rain on the small island, black clouds covering the top, and roaring waves were like the end of the world. The next day was sunny and sunny, with fresh air and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

On the muddy mountain roads everywhere, Liu Ze did not dislike him at all. He hummed and inspected the island, anyone could see that he was in a great mood.

Because yesterday's lightning-inducing operation was successful, Liu Ze touched the black slate in his hand and beamed with joy.

The slate is still the same as the situation after the first lightning strike, the text on the front and the icon on the back, click on the prompt to return to the previous starting point of Daming Shaanxi, and then there is no other prompt.

Generally speaking, it is good news, at least you can leave here.

"I don't know what year it will be when we go back. I don't know if the Ming army around us is still there. If they are, hehe, I have to prepare well and give them a surprise!"

Liu Ze walked leisurely with his hands behind his back, thinking while walking.

Just back down the mountain and back to the fortress, before finishing drinking tea, I heard a burst of hearty laughter.

"It's really strenuous to row the boat back and forth. I set off early in the morning just after the thunderstorm."

It was Wang Youyuan who came, and Liu Ze got up quickly: "Brother Wang, you came just in time. I plan to move everyone to the mainland in two days."

"That's a good relationship, it's all convenient now, but these things on this island?" Wang Youyuan pointed to the nearby buildings and reclaimed farmland and asked. These things cost a lot of manpower and material resources, so they just abandoned them. It's a pity.

"It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do. We didn't know the situation in that continent at the beginning. Fortunately, it didn't cost much. We will build it when the time comes. This place will be used as a practice."

Although Wang Youyuan was a little bit reluctant, he still nodded and said, "Brother Mu, that piece of land is really a good place!"

"During this period of time, we explored hundreds of miles away, and it was really a flat plain with trees everywhere. It would be really beautiful if it were reclaimed into farmland, and there were not many limited hills. It is much better than our Shaanxi. Le."

To Wang Youyuan's surprise, Liu Ze's expression was full of worry.

"What's the matter? Not happy?"

"Brother Wang, how many villages are there for those red-haired barbarians?"

Only then did Wang Youyuan come to his senses, and patted his forehead: "Hey, that's not much, just three villages were detected, with a population of just over a hundred."

"With so few people, when can we develop?" Liu Ze patted his thigh and said, "There is a shortage of people!"
