Chapter 173 Good days unite people's hearts

The original construction site in Huilong Bay was now turned into a military camp. The young and strong men who were supposed to dig the earth were all holding wooden sticks and making assassinations.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

With every shout of killing, the young and strong took a step forward and tried their best to stab the wooden stick in their hands, and the snow-covered open space was also stepped on to a very flat surface.

Seeing this scene, Ma Jun showed a satisfied expression on his face. Since heavy snow started, the ground in Longwan has frozen into ice this time. Even if everyone has changed to iron tools, it is difficult to sustain. Ma Jun simply trained everyone to practice martial arts.

The young and strong people in Huilongwan have developed a good understanding of eating, living and working together. In addition, the rules they usually have to follow are just regular training.

With the treatment of the servants of Gaofu, no one in the upper and lower places in Hekou Fort would resist the young and strong people in Hekou Fort. What's more, they were originally entitled to the high-ranking master and used his high-ranking master. It was cold and the work was not started. Naturally, they could only train hard to repay the high-ranking master.

Half an hour later, as it was almost noon, the Ma Jun asked everyone to stop and rest, then went to the tent to scrub with hot water and change his slippery clothes. At this time, he looked at the slid sling from the Hekou Fort in the distance, and knew that Zhai Da, who was responsible for delivering meat and vegetables, was here.

"Master Ma, Gao sent someone back to pass the message, saying that he brought dozens of craftsmen from this trip and wanted to settle down in the fort. Miss Wei asked you to go back and discuss together."

Soon, Zhai Da, wearing a fur hat, came to Ma Jun and brought back the news about Hekou Fort. Gao Jin did not expect that Ding Silang and the others would actually kidnap all the craftsmen in the village under Shenmu Fort. According to the original houses renovated in the fort, it would definitely not be enough, so they needed to adjust.

"I know, I'll go back with you later."

The horse army agreed. Now the project of Hekou Fort has stopped. The original construction of the young and strong has now been turned into training. This was also what Gao Ye told him before leaving. Although Hekou Fort is just a hundred-house fort, it will hide troops from the people in the future. If Tartars attack, all the young and strong people in the fort can take up weapons to kill the enemy. Even if they retreat to the fort, they must ensure order and minimize property losses.

Although when Gao Jin was giving lectures to everyone in the evening, Ma Jun was always taciturn, never asked questions, and just listened quietly, he remembered Gao Jin's words in his heart.

"Master Ma, I wonder how my son has performed recently?"

While everyone was queuing for food, Zhai Da talked to Ma Jun with a wry smile. Everyone in the fortress knew that Gao Ye was the subordinate of Ma, and this Ma Master was the most difficult to deal with. Since his wife and children died, the face of this Master was hard to see. He always had a cold and dead face, which made people feel intimidated.

"Your son is better than you, can endure hardships, and practices better than others. Maybe he can be taken to the mansion by the high-ranking master."

When Ma Jun thought of Zhai Da's son Zhai Bao, he had to admit that this original playboy started to madly and trained himself to the death. He really had the ruthlessness of an old Qin man. This time, there were not many people who could compete with him in the more than 100-digit young men in Longwan.

Hearing Ma Jun's words, Zhai Da smiled and felt that spending the money at home like flowing water was finally worth it. His son was so promising that even if the Zhai family's property was used up, he could still earn it back in the future.

Not long after, the young and strong men were all over the meal, they should have gone back to the tent to rest, but they were summoned by the horse army. They only blew an iron whistle and shouted, "Go together!" Zhai Da saw that the young and strong men who were originally doing chores put down their work. In just a moment, they lined up in ten horizontal queues. After counting in turn, the squad leader reported loudly, "Twelve people in a certain class, but there were actually twelve people."

Seeing that his son became the squad leader, although his face looked as dark as a farmer, his energy when he was counting was much stronger than before, which made Zhai Da feel very happy. He and the servants at home couldn't help but applaud. Such a young and strong man was probably not even comparable to the government army when he was placed elsewhere.

"I want to tell you something today, and the Grandpa is coming back soon."

When they heard the news from Ma Jun, the young and strong all looked happy, but no one made a noise. After so long training, everyone knew what rules were. Rules were used to guard. Now they gathered together. Unless the Ma Jun asked questions and allowed them to answer, they could only speak. Otherwise, even if they were cut up by swords, they could not spit a word.

"This time, Gao Ye brought back many craftsmen. These craftsmen are their own people in the future. In the future, we can make irons and burn bricks and bowls by ourselves, and we will never have to buy them anywhere else. Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

The young and strong finally burst out with a huge response, which made Zhai Da's ears deaf. He looked at the young and strong people who shouted in unison and felt extremely proud. This Hekou Fort has the servants of the high-ranking master, the official army and such young and strong people. Who would be afraid that the Tartars would come? When the canal is repaired in the spring of the next year, every household will have water to irrigate the land. This life will be much better than in previous years, and the sauce shop can be opened again.

"The houses were built in the fort village, and some of them should have been distributed to you, but these craftsmen are in a hurry and they have no place to stay. What do you think should you do?"

Ma Jun pressed his hands with his hands, and after the young and strong men calmed down, he continued to ask. He had just asked Zhai Da. He knew that Mulan summoned him back, so he wanted to discuss the house he had built from the fortress to serve as a residence for the craftsmen. After all, these craftsmen were all skilled and brought back by Gao Ye himself.

Although the newly built houses in this fortress were originally built by the high-ranking master and everyone worked hard to build them, Ma Jun knew that the people's hearts could not stand the test. If they gave the house directly to foreign craftsmen, everyone would not say it, but there would inevitably be complaints in their hearts, so Ma Jun made it clear at the moment. As expected, no one answered his question on the training ground.

After all, there are only more than twenty young and strong people living in the fortress, and the rest are all in nearby villages. This matter is not something they can do, and they don’t know how to answer.

Ma Jun's eyes swept over the rows of young and strong people, and suddenly pointed his name, "Squad Leader 3, please answer!"

The third squad leader who was named was nothing but Zhai Bao. However, no one expected that Ma Jun would call him by his name, because although Zhai Bao lived in a fortress, his family did not need those newly built houses, and this matter could be said to have nothing to do with him.

"Report, I think we should give up the house. Those craftsmen think they are capable, otherwise the high-ranking master would not bring them back. When they come, it will definitely be good for our Hekou Fort. They are new to us, so we can't let them feel cold. As for the comrades who gave up the house in the fortress, my family is big enough. You can let the wife live in my house first. When the weather is warm, we will help you build a new house."

Zhai Bai's answer was loud and even Ma Jun couldn't help but clap it. He knew that Zhai Bao had been trying hard to train himself to show himself, just to be a servant in the Gao Mansion in the future. Moreover, because the Zhai family had offended Gao Master before, he asked Zhai Bao to answer this question, and he was sure that he would give up the house to those foreign craftsmen to live in, but he didn't expect that he would answer so well.

Zhai Dayi was full of surprise. His son was really enlightened. His answer was good, not only followed the Gao Ye's wishes, but also made friends with the young and strong people in the fortress. As for letting the villagers and neighbors in the fortress stay at their homes for a while, how big would it be.

"Well, Mr. Ma, do I have a few words to say?"

Zhai Da knew what he should do at this time, and his son praised him. Of course, he had to hold on to the scene for his son.

Ma Jun glanced at Zhai Da. Seeing the excited expression on his face, he knew that this old guy was probably going to take the opportunity to restore his reputation. However, now he also needs this old guy to come out and express his opinions to comfort and boost people's hearts.

"Mr. Zhai, please speak!"

"Everyone heard what the child said just now. What the old man said was what the old man wanted to say. Our Hekou Fort is poor and the place is remote. Who doesn't even take a pottery pot and bowl as a treasure, for fear of being broken, and even farming tools can only be made of wood. Now, the high-ranking master has invited so many skilled craftsmen for our Hekou Fort. Isn't it us who will get the most benefits in the future?"

"If anyone who gives up the house in the fortress, as long as my Zhai family has another house, they will never let them freeze. When I build a new house in the future, my Zhai family will do the work and materials to help them build it."

Although Zhai Da's voice was not that loud, it was enough for the young and strong people on the training ground to hear it clearly. Especially those young and strong people living in the fortress were even more aroused. Someone immediately raised his hand and said, "Report, I have something to say."

"speak."

Ma Jun looked at the young and strong men who were motivated. Although his face was expressionless, his voice became higher unconsciously.

"I am willing to give up my new house. If it weren't for the high school, my family wouldn't talk about the house..."

Someone took the lead, and the young and strong people living in the fortress in the next 20th place raised their hands to report, expressing their willingness to give up their houses and live in the craftsmen brought back by the Grand Master.

"Okay, since everyone has this intention, then you guys will go back with me."

Ma Jun was also decisive. Since the victims had expressed their opinions, they just happened to strike while the iron was hot and they could get back. According to the news that Gao Ye and the others could only come back in one or two days.

"Squad Leader of the Third Squad."

"arrive."

"When I'm not here, you will lead everyone to train, whether you can do it or not!"

"Report to the captain and ensure that the task is completed."

Zhai Bao replied loudly with excitement on his face, and the other young and strong people present were also full of envy. Everyone knew that Zhai Bao was valued by Master Ma this time. Maybe when Master came back, he could go to the head of the high school leader.

What’s even more joyful is Zhai Da. He asked his servants to slide to take people. After all, more than 20 men would have to leave, it would take a long time to return to the fortress. "Master Ma, thank you for raising your child, I’m waiting for you..."

"Stop talking about those useless things, let's go back to the fortress quickly."
Chapter completed!
