The villagers of eight villages wanted to move into Gubeizhai, but it was not just that they could move. However, Zhang Chonggu took Zhao Long to the other seven villages within one day and ordered Gao Jin's intention.

With Zhao Long, the village chief of Zhao Familywei as the guard, there was no doubt about the other seven villages. After the winter, the outer wall was extremely cold. Not only were there horse thieves, but also hungry wolves, they could threaten their survival. It would be better to move into cities like Gubeizhai than to survive the whole winter in the wilderness.

In the evening, when Zhang Chonggu returned to Gubei Village with his men, he also followed Zhao Long and a few brave "village chiefs". In the past, when Guan Ye was there, although he protected them, he didn't care about them. Now Gao Jin is willing to take the initiative to accept them, and they all have some thoughts.

Near Gubeizhai, the fertile land was reclaimed by the White Lotus Sect members. Although it was abandoned for a long time, it had a foundation, so Zhao Long and others settled down and rebuilt the land. However, these fugitives, survivors, and descendants of Han and Mongolian living together, actually felt no sense of security.

Perhaps a severe snow in winter can erase the entire village from this world. If he could move to a city like Gubeizhai, Zhao Long and the others would not mind being a cattle and horse for Gao Jin, the master of the Sihai Warehouse.

When you are in a wall, you can't get enough food and clothing when you are a cattle or a horse. You have to be skinned by the officers and officials. People leave their hometowns and are inferior. If you can live in your hometown, who is willing to leave your hometown and escape to this wilderness outside the border to seek survival?

Seeing the neatly-standing black-clothed servant standing at the city gate, Zhao Long couldn't help but take a few more glances. Before he escaped, he was the commander of Mingjingdun, under Yongxing Fort. He was a rare group of Dunsmen who could be skilled in martial arts. Because he had practiced a large gun for a few years, although he had put down his kung fu in recent years, his eyesight had not fallen. Naturally, he could see that these black-clothed servants holding spears were not good.

So in his heart, Zhao Long couldn't help but feel a little admiration and favor with the high man he had never met. He killed the general flag in Dunli and fled outside the pass because the general flag was neglected and deducted military pay. The weapons used by everyone to fight with the Tartars were all broken copper and iron. In the end, the Tartars from Zhuang Tulai's tribe came over, and the guy actually ran away with a few confidants without even letting go of the wolf smoke.

Now looking at the dark iron armor on the black-clothed servants and the black spear standing there two feet long in their hands, Zhao Long couldn't help but think that if he could have met Shangguan, who was so kind to the soldiers under him, it wouldn't have been... Just when Zhao Long thought of being out of sight, the person next to him called him, and he came back to his senses and hurried into Gubei Village.

This is not the first time Zhao Long and others came back to Gubei Village. However, when they came, they were the most merchants from Gubei Village, and it seemed very lively. It was not like walking on the street now that there were no people seeing them.

Most of the houses in Gubei Village are also rammed earth houses, but after all, they are built by serious craftsmen according to the French style, which is much better than the earth houses that Zhao Long and others have built by themselves.

Looking at these empty houses, Zhao Long's heart suddenly became hot. When Zhuang Tulai's troops attacked Yongxing Fort, they fled because the general flag that he killed that day did not fight. When he led the remaining people to light the wolf smoke to warn, the Tartars's horse team caused a disaster to the people who had no time to escape into the fort village near Yongxing Fort. Zhao Long's family died at that time.

After Zhao Long returned to Yongxing Fort, he killed Shangguan General Qi at night and became a wanted criminal. He had no choice but to escape from the wall. As a result, only two of him and his five companions fled to the vicinity of Gubei Village. If the two injured at that time were not picked up by his current wife, he would have been a pile of bones in the wilderness.

Now that his wife is pregnant with him, Zhao Long is no longer as strong as before. After seeing those strong earthen houses, he thought that he must ask for a warm room for his family.

The group walked along the street for a short time and arrived in front of the Sihai Warehouse. At this time, the sky was completely dark. The entrance of the huge warehouse was no longer as lively as a few days ago. Seeing Zhang Chonggu and his party, the man on duty came forward to take the horses and sent them to the stable for care.

Zhao Long and the others had never been to the Sihai Cargo Warehouse in the past. Now they followed Zhang Chonggu into the gate. They couldn't help but look. Although the surroundings were dark and could not see clearly, Zhao Long couldn't help but calculate how many soldiers and thieves needed to fight down the Sihai Cargo Warehouse.

The lobby of Sihai Cargo Store was changed to a canteen according to Gao Jin's intention. Zhao Long and the others came just in the evening for dinner. Then they saw the inner side of the lobby, and several chefs stood in front of a few big pots to serve food for the queue.

When Zhao Long and others smelled the meat smell mixed with soy sauce, they couldn't help swallowing it. It was because they hadn't known what the meat smelled like for a long time. Someone among them smelled the smell and looked at the guys who had finished cooking and found the table and chairs to sit down, as if they were hungry for a winter.

"Zhang Tou, I'm back."

Zhang Chonggu's gun skills are sharp, and he has been lingering in the world for a long time. Although he is still a little arrogant, he has long been much more sleek. He has practiced with the servants these days, and he is not stingy with his own gun skills. In his spare time, he also tells the servants the actual combat killing method of big guns.

For example, the big guns that Gao Jin and Zhang Chonggu practiced were practiced over the years of water grinding skills, which were not something ordinary soldiers could afford. Therefore, the servants had originally practiced the simplest guns taught by Dong Bufang and Ma Jun. They only practiced the stab and the contraction, and exercised their strength and arm strength.

Zhang Chonggu taught the servants the skills of dealing with various situations in actual combat with big guns. In the world, it is the so-called unique skill of passing on the son but not the daughter. But Zhang Chonggu had long understood that such techniques were actually not valuable. Grandpa Qi's military books had already explained all the secrets of martial arts.

But he personally demonstrated practical killing methods for those servants, which allowed them to master the tricks faster, and this was exchanged for Gao Ye's favor, which was profitable for him.

So now, the servants in the lobby said hello when they saw Zhang Chonggu, which made Zhang Chonggu feel quite comfortable.

"Let's go and take you to dinner."

Zhang Chonggu led Zhao Long and others to pick up the big bowls and then lined up behind the servants' team, which surprised Zhao Long. He thought that Zhang Chonggu had a good status and did not need to line up, but unexpectedly, he was at the end of the team and waited honestly to get the food.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have to queue up here too?"

There were only five people who had the courage to come back with Zhang Chonggu. Zhao Long was the most courageous among them and dared to talk and chat with Zhang Chonggu.

"Of course I have to line up. I am now under the command of the Grand Master and have not made any contributions."

Zhang Chonggu replied, "Grandpa is very concerned about the rules. There are queues for meals in this cafeteria. The food of servants and the guests is different. When the servants line up, the captain is in front, while the rest are divided into order of normal training.

At the beginning, the group of thugs under Zhang Chonggu were not convinced, and the servants were ahead of them. However, on the second day of training, the two sides practiced against each other with long sticks, but they were beaten and ran away by the opponent, and they were convinced.

Fortunately, the team was very fast to serve food. The chef who was holding the spoon shook his wrist and poured a large bowl of meat and soup on the rice. It was soon Zhang Chonggu and the others' turn.

"Zhang Tou, are they?"

After cooking Zhang Chonggu, the chef who was holding the spoon looked at Zhao Long and the others who were shining in his eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate. These innocent faces looked like starving ghosts were reincarnated, which made him feel furious.

"They came to see the high-ranking master. The high-ranking master said that when they came, they would be filled with food."

Zhang Chonggu replied, and then the cook moved the spoon again and served a large bowl for Zhao Long and the others, "Come with me."

Although Zhao Long and the others were so hungry that they wanted to eat the rice with their hands, they were brought by Zhang Chonggu and were unwilling to embarrass Zhang Chonggu. So they followed Zhang Chonggu to an empty table and sat down, took the chopsticks before eating.

Zhang Chonggu didn't feel embarrassed when he saw Zhao Long and the others. He had been hungry during his escape, and he had eaten voraciously like them, looking ugly.

Soon a large bowl of braised horse meat bibimbap was seen. After Zhao Long finished eating, he saw that his companions around him had added the bowl clean and did not even leave half a drop of soup. He couldn't help but blush and said to Zhang Chonggu, "Master Zhang, we are really..."

"What's so embarrassing about eating cleanly? The great master said that wasting food is a sin, and it would be struck by lightning."

Zhang Chonggu Yangyang's empty bowl was also very clean. After saying that, he led Zhao Long and the others to the place where the bowls were placed. At this time, Zhao Long saw clearly that the empty bowls he had eaten were as clean as they were.

"Mr. Hou, I have brought the person!"

As soon as Zhang Chonggu and his friends put the bowl, they saw Hou San coming. When they saw Zhao Long and others, Hou San looked at him carefully and nodded at Zhang Chonggu, "Come with me, Grandpa is waiting for you!"

Zhao Long and others followed Hou San and Zhang Chonggu, feeling a little nervous. The meal in the lobby just now made them feel something different. The others had no knowledge and couldn't say it, but Zhao Long knew that it was rules and order, and fairness.

Not long after Hou San left, he took Zhang Chonggu and the others to a house, where there was a coal stove burning, which was very warm.

Seeing Hou San and others, Gao Jin, who was talking to several craftsmen in Gubei Village, stopped and said to Hou San, "Mr. Hou, start to do the coal stove first."

In the river valley, during this period, a lot of coal was dug out and several trucks were loaded to Gubeizhai. It was cold outside the border and heating was the most important problem. In the past, people in Gubeizhai would always freeze to death every year because there was not enough fuel to keep warm.

Nowadays, wealthy families prefer to use charcoal without any taste, so coal is used for iron smelting. As for coal stoves and honeycomb coal, it is even more invisible. Gao Jin lived in the countryside when he was a child in his previous life and was not unfamiliar with these two things. So he drew drawings and asked several craftsmen in Gubei Village to make some of them according to their own style.

But the coal stove and the tongs are simple to fight, but the honeycomb coal is made of water and yellow mud, because the coal is crushed and the proportions inside are somewhat particular. Gao Jin only knows a rough idea, so these craftsmen tried several times before they can make honeycomb coal that satisfies Gao Jin.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Hou San glanced at the red coal stove and admired the high man in his heart. If he had not experienced any major changes in the past, he would have looked down on such so-called strange and lewd skills. But after truly experiencing many hardships outside the border and knowing the difficulties of people's livelihood, Hou San knew how amazing the inconspicuous furnace and those black coal balls were.

Not to mention Gubei Village, it is a big city like Yan'an Prefecture and Camel City in the wall. If it encounters severe winter, there are many poor people who cannot afford firewood to keep warm. However, with such stoves and coal balls in front of them, I don't know how many lives can survive.

"By the way, Mr. Hou, remember to give each of these people five taels of silver in the account room, which is a reward for them."

Whether it is a coal stove or honeycomb coal, Gao Jin just drew the drawings and said it roughly. It was all up to those craftsmen to try their best to make useable honeycomb coal.

"This is unforgettable. Grandpa, we are just doing some rough work. If it weren't for the French drawings you drew, we would never have thought of..."

Among the several craftsmen, Lao Ma, the leading craftsman, hurriedly persuaded that the drawings drawn by the high man in front of him had already shocked them. The coal stove was painted just like the real one, and all the structures were drawn, and they could be made as stupid as they were made. As for the coal ball, they were just pinched a few more times.

Lao Ma and the others dared not be greedy for merit. They all felt that the French styles drawn by this high-ranking master were probably more powerful than those masters. The drawings alone opened their horizons to satisfy them, not to mention that they could also build a coal stove for their own home so they would not have to be frozen again this winter.

"Without you, I can't build this coal stove and honeycomb coal. I have heavy rules here and I have to punish me for making mistakes, but I will also be rewarded for merit. This is what I decided."

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

Lao Ma and the others looked at Gao Jin, who was full of persistence in their words, and they were all in their hearts. They thought that these craftsmen were cheap people. How could such a big man like Gao Jin look down on them? Now Gao Jin's affirmation of them all makes them willing to work for Gao Jin wholeheartedly.

Zhao Long and the others on the side were full of envy and jealousy when they watched the scene. They were five taels per person. They just made things according to the drawings given by the high man, and they could actually get five taels of silver rewards.

"I've met the high man."

After the craftsmen left, Zhao Long and the other two quickly politely spoke to Gao. At this time, their worries had already disappeared when they came, but now they became more worried about gains and losses, fearing that the high man would look down on them.
