After counting the spoils of war, Li Sheng sent out three system Peasants to change into the bows, arrows, knives, and guns he had obtained and seal off the exit of the fishing village to the outside world.
There was no other way. Now was the time to race against the Manchu Tartars. He absolutely could not allow any accidents to happen.
Therefore, the fishing village had to be sealed off and no one was allowed to go out.
At the same time, he didn't give anyone the chance to report to the Manchu Tartars.
After doing this, he sent a system Farmer who had changed into a metal weapon to guard this place and look after the spoils of war.
Then, accompanied by the last system Farmer, he returned to his residence.
Now that they had the food, they had the starting capital.
Next, he had to build his territory and lay a solid foundation.
This was because they would have to race against the Manchu Tartars and race against time to develop. Therefore, it was impossible to farm slowly.
Li Sheng took a look at the system's farm. It could not be said that it was not powerful.
It could almost ignore the fertility of the soil and achieve three harvests a year.
Every time he planted it, he would be able to harvest it once every three months.
Moreover, the rice and wheat planted during each harvest could reach an average of 500 catties per mu.
In this era where the average production was 200 to 300 catties of food, the system farm could not be considered weak.
Especially when chemical fertilizers were not used.
500 catties per mu, and three harvests a year.
It could be seen that the System Farm was powerful.
If they had enough time and a safe territory, then in just a year, the territory would become strong.
Unfortunately, he was in the nest of the Manchu Tartars, so he didn't have time to farm.
Therefore, although the farm was going to be built, it was not now.
He had to wait until he had a stable territory.
They did not build farms and just wanted to farm in peace. They wanted to obtain a steady source of food.
Then, there was only one thing left.
Fishing!
For Li Sheng, developing the fishing industry was his only choice.
If they wanted to develop the fishing industry, they first needed a certain number of farmers to cut down trees and mine, build docks, and recruit boatmen and fishermen.
If he wanted to build a ship, he would need all kinds of iron tools and iron nails.
Therefore, a blacksmith shop had to be built, and blacksmiths had to be recruited.
After building a fishing boat, if he wanted to catch fish, then fishing nets were also essential.
At the same time, if they wanted the fishing boat to travel further, they needed sails.
Therefore, a tailor shop was also necessary.
In this way, the buildings needed to be built were residential houses that could recruit farmers, as well as blacksmiths, tailors, and docks.
He only needed to build a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, and a dock.
However, he needed a lot of residential houses.
This was because residential houses were not only used to recruit farmers, but also the residences of farmers.
There was a limit to the number of farmers a residential house could carry.
Even if they were to maximize its capacity, it was already the limit for a system Dormitory to house ten system Farmers.
There were many buildings that needed to be built, and there were also many people recruited.
Li Sheng suddenly felt that 200,000 jin of grain was not a lot.
It could not afford his extravagant use at all!
Everything had to be calculated carefully!
At the same time, they also needed to leave food for the next few days.
Therefore, he had to make full use of the hundreds and thousands of laborers in this fishing village!
As he pondered carefully, Li Sheng felt tired. Under the protection of the System Farmer, he fell into a deep sleep.
When the sky had just brightened, Li Sheng immediately woke up.
In the end, he was racing against time against the Manchu Tartars. He felt a sense of urgency in his heart, so he didn't dare to sleep too much.
As soon as he woke up, he brought the System Farmer who was guarding him back to the most eye-catching brick house in the fishing village.
He immediately ordered the system's Farmer to head to various parts of the fishing village to gather everyone.
His next goal was very simple, which was to take full control of the fishing village!
He had to make full use of the nearly 1,000 laborers in the fishing village!
Due to the time constraint, Li Sheng's actions were simple and crude.
The fully armed system Farmer raised their weapons and chased the villagers out of their homes.
All of them were gathered on the flat ground in front of the courtyard.
All the villagers were silent and trembling in fear. They were frightened by the fully armed system farmers.
The more knowledgeable villagers immediately realized that something was wrong.
Looking at the system Farmer's Han face, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he felt that something was wrong.
Even though they felt that it was very likely that the Great Ming Army on the other side of the straits had come.
However, this did not make them happy at all.
Instead, he was worried.
This was because the Ming army could not gain a firm foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula and occupy it for a long time.
The Ming army would definitely retreat!
And once they retreated, what would they do?
With the brutality of the Manchu Tartars, there was an 80 - 90% chance that they would slaughter the village!
This was the end!
Many people began to wail in their hearts.
When Li Sheng walked out of the courtyard, the expressions of all the villagers changed drastically!
Obviously, Li Sheng's appearance made the villagers realize that the situation was ten times worse than they had imagined!
When he saw nearly a thousand villagers looking at him with shock, fear, fear, and even hatred.
Li Sheng's heart was calm. He had long expected this scene.
With the current Manchu Qing's ruling power over the entire Liaodong, as well as the loss of the hearts of the Ming Dynasty among the Han people in Liaodong.
Go against the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
That was simply courting death!
There was no villager who wasn't afraid!
Li Sheng didn't say anything. Instead, he had the system farmers carry out the corpses of the old Tartar family and seven or eight of his lackeys.
Looking at the corpses of the old Tartar family, all the villagers 'faces changed drastically. Their bodies trembled, and fear came from the bottom of their hearts.
An older villager's fingers were trembling, and his entire body was trembling. He took a deep breath and was extremely frightened. There was even a deep resentment as he pointed at Li Sheng and said,"Do you know what you are doing? You're rebelling!"
"Our entire village is doomed!"
"The moment the Qing Dynasty reacted, they would massacre the village!”
"They will slaughter us all!”
Li Sheng's expression was calm as he was criticized and complained to his face. He only nodded slightly."As you can see, I've killed the entire Da Er Ha family!”
"I, Li Sheng, want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty!"
At this point, Li Sheng said in an unquestionable tone,"I don't care if you complain or hate me!”
"From today onwards, no one is allowed to leave the village!”
"Don't even think about sending a message to the Tartars!”
"If anyone wants to sneak out of the village, don't blame me for not showing mercy!”
"Not only will they be killed without mercy, but their entire family will also be buried with them!”
Before he could stop the first wave of retaliation from the Manchu Tartars, Li Sheng would not naively think about human hearts.
What he wanted to do was very simple. In troubled times, he would use heavy punishment!
Whoever disobeyed would die!
After the frosty speech, his expression softened."The food of the village is in my hands. If you want to eat and live, then listen to my orders and work!”
"Don't let the Manchu Tartars come and you starve to death!”
"That's all I have to say. Take care of yourself!"
With that, he turned around and returned to the courtyard!
Now, if he wanted to control all the manpower in the fishing village, it was useless to talk about feelings and reason.
The simplest method was to use a carrot and stick!
Hanging them with food!
If they worked for him, they would have food to eat. If they didn't work for him, they would all starve to death!
At this moment, he absolutely could not allow any compassion to arise. He had to be ruthless!
It was indeed the case. Under such a cold and heartless situation, he looked at the five fully armed and unbelievably strong system farmers.
All the villagers gradually accepted the reality.
In the face of immediate death and not starving, they all chose not to starve without exception!
Whether the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty would die or not was another matter.
However, if they did not listen to Li Sheng, they would die immediately!
They would either be beaten to death or starve to death!
He had already been enslaved by the Tartars once, so how could he still have any backbone to speak of?!
After recognizing the reality, they all accepted their fate.
Seeing this, Li Sheng nodded slightly. The fishing village was finally in full control.
Although he did not win the hearts of the people, that was not important.
As long as everyone in the fishing village worked hard!
With nearly a thousand workers, they could solve the time needed to gather a large amount of materials and build buildings.
At the same time, it was also to save food and avoid recruiting a large number of system personnel, which would affect the speed of the territory's development.
The capital was too little. He had to plan carefully and make full use of all the resources that could be used.
