Chapter 9 The Essence of Tribulation
Chapter 9 The Essence of Tribulation
Huwangzhai was built from the halfway up the mountain of Huxiao Mountain.
Built on the mountain, it has been wandering to the top of the mountain.
Loyalty Hall is located on the top of the mountain.
From Heifengzhai to Zhongyi Hall on Huxiao Mountain, it is winding and winding, at least forty or fifty miles.
A group of people walked for an hour.
finally reached.
As soon as he arrived at the Loyalty Hall, Hu Xiaobu set it up non-stop.
Qin Mu swayed around.
A brief look at the surrounding environment.
This is a lone peak, not too high, with an altitude of only more than [-] meters.
The terrain is dangerous, absolutely easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But the shortcomings are also obvious. Once surrounded, there is no supply of food, grass and luggage. After a long time, they will have to wait for death.
The top of the mountain is open and flat, with a radius of tens of feet, surrounded by wooden fences.
Loyalty Hall is on the northernmost side of the top of the mountain, facing south.
There is a towering giant tree in front of the hall.
It should be eucalyptus.
In early autumn, it is full of golden flowers.
After some time, these golden flowers will turn red.
very nice.
On the north side of Tiger Roaring Peak are continuous mountains, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Listening to Hu Xiaobu... Of course he also listened to the older generation.
In the depths of the mountain, there is a relic called Taigu Bronze Gate.
Behind the bronze gate is the world of mountain and sea monsters.
But the system's map shows that the stretch of mountains is covered by a fog, and nothing can be seen.
There is an open land at the foot of the mountain on the south side.
There is an official road that connects the two second-level towns of Zhongzhou and Dabu, and there are many business travelers in the past.
This is also one of the reasons why bandits are rampant in this area, and there is plenty of oil and water.
The east side faces the sea, but there is still a distance from the coastline. At this distance, it is a flat land with fertile soil and thorny thorns.
On the west side stands Longya Peak.
It is higher and bigger than Tiger Roaring Peak.
That is the territory of Wanlong Village.
……
Qin Mu wandered around, and Hu Xiaobu had also completed the layout of the Loyalty Hall.
He was walking out of Loyalty Hall with a few brothers.
"Brother Qin!"
Seeing Qin Mu, Hu Xiaobu trotted after him.
"Well, are you settled?"
Qin Mu patted Hu Xiaobu on the shoulder, this guy is pretty reliable.
"Basically, it's almost done. The Loyalty Hall has been re-arranged, and the 2000 taels of silver and 20 ingots of black iron ingots. I asked the brothers to pull them directly into the warehouse of the Tiger King Village. The warehouse of the Tiger King Village is large, safe, and black. The warehouse in Fengzhai has some fodder and miscellaneous things. What is still undecided is the training and patrol arrangements for the brothers. I have to ask Brother Qin and Sister Hongyue for their opinions on this."
"What is your plan?"
Qin Mu nodded, and while walking eastward, motioned for Hu Xiaobu to follow.
He wanted to hear Hu Xiaobu's opinion.
Heihuzhai needs to train some NPCs who can become BOSS level, and it is difficult to develop and grow by relying on him and Xiao Hongyue.
"I……"
Hu Xiaobu hesitated for a while, but still boldly said: "In the past, our Heifeng Village was just a small village, and we had no long-term plans, but now it's different. The village is big, and the trees are big. Training and patrolling are essential. What I mean is, form a group of brothers, divide them into three or five teams, take turns to patrol and train."
"nice!"
Qin Mu's eyes lit up, this kid was quite thoughtful.
With Qin Mu's affirmation, Hu Xiaobu let go of his courage and continued: "We have 275 brothers. I want to divide them into 11 teams, with 25 people in each team, and choose a husband from among them. The husband is responsible for his own team management."
"can."
Qin Mu felt that Hu Xiaobu's idea was very good. After thinking about it, he added: "Let's arrange another team competition every month. Those who rank at the top can reward some money to stimulate the training enthusiasm of the brothers."
"One more thing," Qin Mu pointed at the foot of the mountain on the east side, "Arrange some brothers tomorrow to clear the thorns at the foot of the mountain and open up wasteland. We have to grow some food."
"Open up wasteland?"
Hu Xiaobu was a little confused.
"Brother Qin, we are all bandits. No one knows how to farm or something..."
"..."
Can't farm?
This time it was Qin Mu's turn to be surprised.
"Then what do you usually do?"
Hu Xiaobu's eyes widened, looking like a fool: "Jie Dao!"
The bandits don't rob the road, but go to farm?
I'm afraid I'm not a fool?
……
Yes, Jiedao...
Qin Mu cleared his throat in embarrassment.
This is really a bandit village.
However, the way to rob is to be robbed, and the land still has to be planted!
Not to mention that the rice bowl is in his own hands, so he can deal with emergencies more or less.
Moreover, the east side of Huxiao Mountain is surrounded by Huxiao Mountain, like a back garden.
It is an excellent planting place.
"You first arrange the manpower to open the land, and then I will arrange how and what to plant."
"Also, how is robbery?"
Qin Mu is more interested in this.
"Jie Dao is familiar to me!"
When it comes to robbery, Hu Xiaobu's interest is obviously much higher than land reclamation.
He pulled Qin Mu and walked all the way to the south cliff.
"There are many bandit villages in our area, and there are three that are bigger than Tiger King Village: Wanlong Village, Changsheng Village, and Hulu Village; there are more of them that are similar to Heifeng Village, but most of them are attached to Dazhai. Come on, I will follow Dazhai during the robbery, share a little soup after the end, and barely make ends meet."
"We used to be with Tiger King Village."
While speaking, the two had already arrived at the south side.
Looking down, the official road is full of smoke and dust, and the cars and horses are noisy.
Really busy.
"Shouldn't the dynasty let us rob us?"
This is what Qin Mu cares about.
"This is a river and lake, and the dynasty can't control it."
Hu Xiaobu stared down the mountain and said slowly.
"Caravans will hire bodyguards. To be honest, we have given bodyguards a living environment because of our existence."
Qin Mu thought for a while and said with a smile: "It seems to be the same reason. This can be regarded as increasing jobs for the dynasty in a disguised form."
"Increase... what?"
Hu Xiaobu looked at Qin Mu with doubts on his face.
What is Brother Qin talking about?
"Uh...it's okay, you can continue."
Qin Mu didn't bother to explain.
It doesn't matter anyway.
"Oh." Hu Xiaobu was dubious, and continued:
"General robbery, they will first spy on information. For example, how many goods does this caravan have, how many bodyguards there are, when and where they pass, they will gather information and hand it over to the village owner."
"Then, it's stepping on the spot. Find out the environment, deduce possible changes, and make a response plan."
"Finally, it's time to clean up the battlefield."
"Sometimes when we meet a sensible caravan, they will take the initiative to leave some money to avoid disaster, and we will also take the initiative to let it go. Although it is a little less earning, it can somewhat reduce the loss."
Qin Mu listened carefully, nodding from time to time.
I thought that robbery was just a whim, and I called my brothers down the mountain to collect money to buy the road.
Didn't expect there to be so much detail here.
In the future, Heihuzhai must also be robbed.
This is the job of a bandit.
Do a line to love a line.
Because of love, we can make it bigger and stronger.
