For several days in a row, Yunhe Village received Red Turban Army supplies one after another.
According to Zhao Tianquan, there were a total of 50,000 troops, but only 42,000 actually arrived.
It's unclear whether the remaining eight thousand died or discovered something was wrong with Yunhe Village, which is why they didn't come over.
Those troops from Prince Jing's territory have all come over.
The remaining eight thousand probably won't be able to come.
However, those eight thousand soldiers were no match for the enemy.
Each time, only three to five thousand people would come. Lin Jinyue would first gain their trust by giving them tokens, and then use some medicine to remove all their weapons.
Finally, he was handcuffed and shackled before being modified.
Then they quickly change their minds and write back, wanting their parents to come and "reform" together.
After all, Lin Jinyue said that after a year's work, it was up to her to stay or leave.
If they stay, they will be given a house and land. If they want to go back to their original village, that's fine too; they will be given a sum of money.
Even though the Red Turban Army was gone by then, they were still happy.
After all, most people just want to live. While going to the battlefield can lead to success, the cost is also very high.
If you're lucky, you might lose an arm or a leg; if you're unlucky, you might lose your life.
It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. As long as they can eat, most people feel that it's better to work steadily in Yunhe Village.
The people of Yunhe Village are able to live so well even in chaotic times, building both an inner city and an outer city.
Many people want to come here.
Putting everything else aside, even the few orders that slip through their fingers at the workshop are enough for them to live comfortably.
Apart from those from particularly wealthy families, most people want to move their entire families to Yunhe Village.
Lin Jinyue also felt that things were on the right track.
With so many people helping, the village's development is already quite good.
Lin Jinyue was very satisfied.
Besides the village's construction, Gu Shao's wounds had healed, and he went straight to the battlefield.
Lin Jinyue's original plan was to work at the mine for five days and then build ironware.
What she never expected was that the battle lasted for a month, with the Gu family leading two thousand soldiers, and Xie Hong and Prince Jing locked in a fierce battle.
Even under these circumstances, the Gu family still took a month.
General Gu's military strategy was brilliant, and Lin Jinyue even provided them with a lot of weapons, yet they still hadn't finished fighting after a month.
Since it was inconvenient for the villagers to go out and investigate, Lin Jinyue could only receive a letter every now and then to let them know that she was safe. Apart from that, she knew nothing about the situation at the Gu family's place.
As a result, Lin Jinyue was unsure how to proceed with many of her plans.
Even if the iron ore mine is gone, we can't just sit and wait to die.
Lin Jinyue then found some bright-minded people who weren't on the bounty list and asked them to go to nearby towns and cities to buy some raw materials.
These raw materials are all used to make weapons, and they are not hard to find.
When they left, Lin Jinyue gave them another slip of paper, still written with charcoal. She sharpened a wooden stick and then burned it with fire to write on the scrap paper.
The other villagers were used to it, but Qiuyun, who had been rescued by them a few days ago, came over and took a look. She was a little surprised: "Huh, Miss Lin's handwriting... is a little different?"
Qiu Yun looked at the words with some confusion. If they were written incorrectly, she could still understand what they meant when they were placed together, even if they were missing parts. But the writing was really beautiful.
Lin Xueqing and Lin Shucheng panicked for a moment, but then the villagers helped cover for them: "Mainly, I only know some simple characters, so Xueqing simplified them. Otherwise, I wouldn't recognize them either... And this character has another advantage: I doubt anyone else besides the people in our village could recognize it."
The villagers all believed that this was the script used by immortals, which was easy to write and recognize.
Since they don't take the imperial examinations, knowing these characters is enough for them.
Qiu Yun seemed to be deep in thought, and she was actually fooled by the people from Yunhe Village, believing what they said.
Thinking back on what happened along the way, I feel increasingly terrified.
Qiu Yun thought the group of people were either government soldiers or some seemingly upright bandit leader.
There were many people in the countryside who couldn't make a living and turned to banditry.
But they do not bully men or women.
But who knew...
Has she stumbled into a den of rebel leaders even more terrifying than the Red Turban Army?
Lin Shucheng's family has members who can rally all the villagers to listen to him, and also members who can make those ingenious weapons. Those weapons are highly lethal; even a frail little girl like her can easily shoot through a tree.
Not only that, but there is also a doctor in their family who is skilled in medicine, and his medical skills seem to be no less than those of the imperial physicians in the palace.
They can take on ten men with crossbows. If Lin Shucheng had any thoughts of rebellion, wouldn't it be an easy task?
Qiu Yun shivered. What kind of people were these?!
But then she thought again, that dog emperor is inhuman, and Prince Jing and Prince Ning are no better. Judging from the way Lin Shucheng's family usually behaves, she knows they are good people.
If they really rebel, it seems like a pretty good thing.
Her idea coincided with Tan Xue's.

Meanwhile, a ship carrying 30,000 soldiers was sailing south from the north.
It was the troops led by the current Crown Prince Ye Yuan.
Unfortunately, the current imperial court is now just an empty shell.
Therefore, when he received the dozen or so wanted posters from his subordinates, he remained silent for a long time. The bounties on these individuals were frighteningly high.
He was truly shocked when he saw the reward amount; the combined reward for a group of farmers was nearly 50,000 taels of silver.
