Just as Li Ye was building a defense of the village, Zheng Yanbo was also returning.

There are many people with him, hundreds of people. I have to say that Zheng Yanbo has gained a lot this time.

Yes, it is really easy to recruit people in this era, just be full.

But with Zheng Yanbo's words and deeds, King Li Ye had already spread in the nearby townships.

A king of Li Ye came out of Liu Jiaping, who killed hundreds of landlord Liu's family by one hand, and distributed the money, grain and land of landlord Liu's family to the poor people.

When these information is spread, you can imagine how tempting it is for the poor people.

As Zheng Yanbo recruited talents, many ordinary people who were famous began to take their families to Liujiaping Valley for food and clothing.

Just killing pigs and eating meat can make people want to go.

Zheng Yanbo didn't know that these people who brought their families to Liujiaping were all skilled craftsmen.

There are two or three hundred craftsmen, and more than a thousand people are with their families.

Zheng Yanbo felt that it was almost done, so he quickly returned.

He was also worried about being arrested by the landlords' township group.

In fact, his concern was correct. The landlords and gentry within a hundred miles nearby had already begun to organize a village group to prepare to encircle and suppress Li Yewang from Liujiaping.

This is a kind of self-protection of landlords and squire, and also a class-maintaining existence.

If King Li Ye is allowed to do what he does, then the tenants in their farm will follow suit.

Of course, they will also report to the officials, but during this period, nearby officers and soldiers are targeting King Li Chuang and have no energy to control the unsuccessful King Li Ye.

At this time, in Shangluo Mountain, on Dinglong Mountain on the east side of Majieling, the city was majestic and the flags were waving.

Here we talk about Li Zicheng's stronghold. After his defeat last year, he and more than a dozen subordinates retreated here, secretly recruited soldiers and built a hamlet.

Now the team has once again taken shape.

The revolt between Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai made Li Zicheng feel ready. He was ready to attack several counties in Shangzhou in early June.

While training and testing, you can also plunder and provide supplies.

Above the Dinglong Mountain Village, Li Zicheng, who was just in his early thirties, was full of energy and looked at the mountains from afar.

Beside him are Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong.

At this time, Liu Zongmin said to Li Zicheng: "It is rumored that Li Yewang, the head of the family, is here, how do you view this matter?"

Li Zicheng was surprised when he heard this. He was King Li Chuang, and someone actually dared to call him King Li Ye?

"How did it pass?" Li Zicheng asked casually.

Gao Yigong grinned and said roughly: "It's very evil. It is said to be a cruel man. He killed hundreds of landlords' families by one."

Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "That's what I think is a warrior with extraordinary skills. If he can recruit under his command, he will definitely be a powerful general."

Liu Zongmin shook his head, "From his name as a wild king, he is not a person who is willing to surrender, just like Zhang Xianzhong, he is probably a rebellious person.

I heard that he was recruiting soldiers and deliberately spreading these news, which shows his intentions.”

Gao Yigong nodded and agreed very much, which made Li Zicheng, who was still a little happy just now, look ugly.

How can we allow the existence of a new force like Li Yewang to beside the bed?

Either surrender or follow him or you can only destroy it.

Now his Dinglong Mountain Village is just built majestic, and this is his territory, which can be attacked and retreated or defended.

But now that Li Yewang has appeared, how can he attack with confidence?

"Jiexuan, send someone to recruit you. If he does not obey, he will take the opportunity to destroy it. There can only be one king in this mountain."

Li Zicheng thought about it and finally said to Liu Zongmin that Jiexuan was Liu Zongmin's name.

Liu Zongmin nodded, "Well, I'll arrange someone to go now."

Li Zicheng said again: "Let Tian Jianxiu take people there and tell him that things should not be done, make a quick decision and go back quickly."

Liu Zongmin nodded with a smile, turned around and left.

Gao Yigong sighed, "Then King Li Ye seems to be just a sixteen-year-old boy, what a pity!"

"If it weren't for this mountain, I wouldn't have been like this. I hope I can recruit you!"

Li Zicheng also sighed, looked down at the dense camp under the hamlet, and the heroic spirit in his heart rose again.

...

Although Li Ye didn't know about the upcoming recruitment, he had considered these things before.

Zheng Yanbo's return made Li Ye very happy. More than a thousand people were taken directly to the mountain and arranged to live in the cave.

Li Ye specially dug a huge cave as a warehouse, and every household will first deliver rations for two months.

As for vegetables and meat, Li Ye will make them out regularly every day.

The mountain is already very lively. All the tenants in Liujiaping have moved up the mountain, and the huge city gate has also begun to be installed.

Li Ye didn't care about these things. He went down the mountain this day and went to the Liu family compound.

Now, the Liu family courtyard is empty, so it is better to move it up the mountain as soon as possible. Such an exquisite building complex is very rare.

Besides, such a building cannot be kept. If the peasant army or the Ming army comes, this is not a preparation of the garrison for it.

And the thatched huts of the tenants must be burned with fire.

Therefore, after Li Ye completely collected the Liu family compound, the original Liu family compound had completely become flat ground and even the courtyard wall was gone.

Afterwards, Li Ye lit thatched huts one by one, and thick smoke rolled in the valley.

On the top of the Toutuofeng Mountain Village, men who had become city defense forces were not surprised to see the thick smoke rolling and the disappearing Liu family courtyard.

It can be guessed that it was done by Li Ye.

Li Ye turned around to Touofeng and took Zheng Yanbo to visit the settled craftsmen to learn about the skills of these people.

After that, it is time to arrange to start production, build textile machines, brewing wine, and making iron. These can be started first.

As for those women, there are not so many fields at the foot of the mountain, but they cannot be idle either. They can be reclaimed under the forests and trees to plant some vegetables.

Although Li Ye cannot finish eating vegetables in the space, his purpose is not to let these people stay idle.

At the same time, this move can also make people feel belonging.

You can do everything by growing vegetables, raising pigs and chickens. When the textile machine is made, women can be arranged to work.

Weaving and making clothes are all necessities.

Especially cotton coats and quilts, they will be of great use in the future.

Ironmaking is also important. Although there are very few raw materials now, we must also be done. Weapons such as swords and arrows are indispensable.

Even daily necessities such as hoes and kitchen knives are in great demand.

Raw materials are a problem and we must find a way to solve it. The same is true for salt. From Zheng Yanbo's mouth, Li Ye has learned that there is a nearby town of Shanyang.

There are salt in the town, but it is likely to be private salt, and the price is terrifying, but for Li Ye, this is not a problem. If the price is high, it means it is unkind.

Then it’s easy to rob the rich and help the poor.

As a modern person, the behavior of robbing the rich and helping the poor is more exciting and more fulfilling!
