Chapter 1505 Good luck and good pregnancy 24

An Ran heard about this and quickly built fortifications at the entrance of the village.

Even if the large army will not come, there are probably small groups of refugees. Just this, she has to defend herself to prevent the villagers from suffering losses. Since she has collected the protection fees from the villagers, she naturally has to protect them. arrive.

In the case of harassment by small groups of refugees, patrolling every day by patrol teams alone would be impossible to prevent, so we simply built fortifications to prevent those people from entering.

Enron, who has military experience in many worlds, is naturally familiar with how to build fortifications.

There are also manpower - more than a hundred people from the patrol team went into battle, and the simple defenses were built in less than two days.

This simple fortification can naturally only defend against small groups of refugees, not large groups. However, she does not need to defend large groups. If she is really worried, she can continue to reinforce them in the future.

With the fortifications in place, the refugees who came to Taiping Village were indeed blocked. Of course, the main reason is that Taiping Village has a geographical advantage - it is surrounded by mountains, three of which are higher mountains. Although there are small trails passing through, it is difficult to cross the mountains and ridges to get in from the outside. It is not easy; although the other side is better, it is a road that villagers take more often out of the village, but it still has to go over mountains and ridges, and it is not a flat road. In this way, it is basically a good idea to build a fortification in this better place. It can prevent most of the refugees. On the other three intersections, a small number of people are sent to patrol, and basically no refugees can come in. After all, it is not easy to come from the road or the mountains. It is deep in the mountains and forests, and the bushes are deep. , can't get out at all.

The refugees couldn't get in, so they would take detours, but there were also some who saw that Taiping Village was well-defended and felt that they would be safe if they settled there, so they asked to be taken in. An Ran would occasionally take in some - mostly those with family members. Generally speaking, people like this are mostly people with good character. After all, they have become refugees, and they also bring the old and young at home, which shows that the family has good character and has not left the young and old behind.

An Ran generally does not accept refugees who are only young and strong men. This kind of people are either sent by an army of refugees to check on them, or they are of poor character and only care about their own escape, leaving behind the old, weak, women and children at home.

Because of the intake of people, the patrol team has expanded a lot, and now the entire patrol team has 200 people.

With the increase in the number of people and the completion of fortifications, it is now difficult for the patrols to catch the gangs who come to steal. As a result, the income has stopped but the expenses are increasing. Chen Lizheng can't help but worry about Enron's expenses.

"You are taking in more and more people. Those refugees have nothing to eat. Some of them don't even have money. They just rely on joining your patrol team to earn some money to buy food. But you have no income now. You will not be able to pay by then." If they have no money to support their expenses, they will starve to death and may cause trouble. So, should we remove them from the village and let them live outside our village? Otherwise, it will be dangerous to our village. ah."

An Ran said: "Don't worry, it's getting more and more chaotic outside. Are you worried that you won't make any money?"

Chen Lizheng said in confusion: "How to make money?"

An Ran smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Chen Li was really curious, but seeing that An Ran refused to say anything, there was nothing he could do, so he could only wait patiently.

But soon, he knew.

But he said that as Kyoto was breached, the outside became more and more chaotic, and soon there were bandit troops in Taiping County. The county magistrate was so anxious that his mouth blistered, and he wanted to abandon the city and run away. Fortunately, he held back at the last moment. Because the county lieutenant told him that these bandit soldiers were not too powerful and they could try to defend for a while. After all, if the bandit soldiers came and fled, and the court pursued them, the future of the county magistrate would be gone.

Although Kyoto has been captured and the imperial court has been displaced, who knows what will happen in the future. If the imperial court rises again, it will be troublesome to hold them responsible for their faults.

The county magistrate also knew that this was indeed the case. He thought that if he ran away like this and lost his future after working so hard to get the honors, it would be a great loss, so he listened to the county captain and prepared to stay for a while.

Of course, the main reason is that the county captain said that there are capable people in their county who can defend it.

After the county magistrate had no intention of running away, he asked the county captain, "I wonder who the capable person Mr. Li is talking about is?"

"Your Excellency, you have forgotten that in our county, there is a female tiger hunter who is born with supernatural powers. I heard that since the civil unrest, she has set up a patrol team in Taiping Village to protect the countryside. She is quite impressive. Your Excellency, you might as well tell her If she invites us here, and with the brave soldiers in our county, we may be able to defend the city."

Lieutenant Li was responsible for the security of the county. An Ran had sold wild boars and even tigers in the county several times. Lieutenant Li naturally heard about it, so he mentioned it to the county magistrate.

A little girl actually killed a tiger. This would usually become big news in the local area. Li County Lieutenant had heard about it, and Zhang Zhixian had naturally heard about it. After hearing what Li County Lieutenant said, he nodded. He raised his head and said, "I've heard about it. You're right. With such capable people in this county, why should we be afraid of bandit soldiers?"

Not to mention anything else, even if the little girl doesn't know how to organize troops and dispatch her troops, even if she goes out and punches the opponent's leader to death, it's still a good thing.

So he immediately asked Li County Lieutenant to invite An Ran to come out, and told him that Li County Lieutenant must go and invite him, and do not order a servant to call the person, so as not to make the other party feel that they are not sincere, and don't be unwilling to come out. You should be sincere, so why not imitate Uncle Liu Huang and visit the thatched cottage three times? You can also gain a reputation as a courteous and virtuous corporal.

As for whether he is afraid that An Ran will seize his county seat... Zhang Zhixian has no such idea at all. In his thinking, just like Chen Lizheng, he does not think that a woman can occupy the county seat. Of course, a little girl is not afraid anymore, so he is relieved He boldly asked Lieutenant Li to invite someone, but if the person was a seven-foot-tall man, he would not dare to invite someone for fear of attracting a wolf into the house.

Lieutenant Li Xian promised not to mention it.

When Lieutenant Li came to Taiping Village and saw the fortifications at the intersection of Taiping Village, he was somewhat knowledgeable. Unlike the villagers in Taiping Village who couldn't see the entrance, he could see that the fortifications looked decent, and he couldn't help but secretly marveled. , thinking that this girl from Taiping Village seems to be quite capable.

Immediately, he reported his home to the guards on the fortifications, and then directly said that he wanted to see their captain, Gu Wufu.

Hearing that it was the County Lieutenant who was visiting, the guards who had never seen such a high official could not help but feel a little nervous. They hurriedly responded and went to report. Then they found out the identity of County Lieutenant Li - he sent someone to find Chen Lizheng to identify him. , he had been to the county and met Lieutenant Li - after verifying that he was indeed the county lieutenant, he welcomed him in.
