From midsummer to early winter, and from early winter to spring.

Hu Sanniang slept with a rural woman at night, got up at 4 o'clock in the morning and started killing fish. Heiheifu didn't get up until the last meal. Heihei and his partner Aunt Wang carried a few large wooden plates to the river to pour them out.

At first, she did these jobs alone, but later more and more people were eating, and more and more fish were sent. She was so tired that she couldn't lift her arms and couldn't finish them. So she added someone to the manager. The kitchen also changed from a dozen cooks to more than thirty.

Every day, sitting in the shed on the river bank, you can see more and more workshops next to you, with a few tall chimneys, and white smoke slowly emanating. Two huge water trucks were built by the river. She had never seen such a large water truck, which was much taller than all the surrounding buildings.

She didn't know how many people were having dinner in the workshop, but there were thousands of people who built houses, dug river embankments, and moved things outside. I heard that there was a large kitchen in the workshop, and the chefs invited them from various restaurants. Every day, chickens, ducks, fish and meat were transported in by carts. The fish she killed were only for Lifu who was doing hard work outside.

Life now is probably a slave. But it doesn’t feel like everyone is safe and stable. As long as you work hard, no one will beat and scold you. You can rest for one day every seven days. Although she can only sit in the shed and stare blankly, she can rest for one day after all.

Knowing that there is no hope of revenge, she also wanted to escape with her martial arts in the first few days. However, when she saw Shi Qian, the "Drum Flea" who was famous for her light skills, broke free from her shackles at night and jumped out of the wall. She was beaten into a broken sack by a musket, she stayed here honestly.

Although the prisoner was still wearing shackles, the head of the workshop was quite humane and would give a little monthly money every month. Of course, it would not be given to her, but would be recorded in the account. If you want to buy something, you could tell the Black Feather Guard who was guarding, or if you go out in three years, you would give her all. She didn't believe that she would let her go out in three years, so she spent it every time and bought some clean clothes. On August 15th, a high-ranking official named Liu Siye came over to give corvee labor. Lifu gave moon cakes, and she also had one.

Following the soldier's instructions, she had never spoken to dozens of women in the kitchen, and these women did not talk to her, but she still heard a lot of things outside from the gossip of the guards.

After the Qingzhou army was defeated, many people fled into the mountains and forests. Lu Junyi, Qi Jinhai and others were forced to attack the city several times, and more than half of the 100,000 troops were lost. Finally, they turned to Western Shu in anger. It was from then on that time that more people were eating outside the workshop.

Wang Bing tried every means to fight Chengdu Prefecture, and the sound of cannons could be heard every day in the distance. She saw brand new cannons pushing out the door of the workshop every day. Even if she didn't know how to fight, she knew that the court could not beat it. She saw with her own eyes, and there were more than 400 cannons. I heard that there were similar workshops in other places, which the court could not have fought.

As expected, the army led by Wang Bing suffered heavy losses after forcing the Qingzhou army to rebel, and was not allowed to withdraw from Jianzhou to defend. The army of Western Shu changed from a defensive to an offensive, and there was news of capturing the city every day. After less than three days of Jianzhou, it was bombarded by more than 100 artillery pieces and had no choice but to continue to retreat eastward.

Chengdu Prefecture seems to be becoming more and more prosperous. There are more and more merchant ships on the Fu River, full of cargo transported from all over the country. In October, a huge ship appeared, which was completely different from the merchant ship. It was opened on the side and parked at the port outside the workshop. Lifu pushed up one large cannon and installed it. There were 60 cannons on both sides. She felt that this ship could destroy the entire Chengdu Prefecture.

Apart from the news of the war, the one I heard the most was the Cao Taisui who had a glimpse of it.

Since she had a glimpse of the street that day, she had never seen Cao Taisui again. She heard that Cao Taisui would occasionally go to the workshop next to her to inspect, but any big shot would definitely not stroll in the shack where Lifu lives.

Every time she could only see the guards' Black Feather Guard standing straight outside, and the same was true for the other soldiers. Although they couldn't see it, every few days, the fish she killed would be fatter and more vegetables. Some people cleaned the roads of the shacks and replaced the broken bedding. Obviously, the owner here was afraid that Cao Taisui would come over to check on the whim and was furious to find the mess here.

Hum...the officials are the same...

Hu Sanniang could only think so, concentrate on killing her fish, waiting for the opportunity to escape.

I was once in Zhujiazhuang and had the honor to meet King Xie Yijun of Shu once, but she just greeted her and couldn't get into the eyes of others. After joining the Qingzhou Army, they were already hostile to each other. All relatives and friends under the city wall were killed in battle, and they had a grudge against each other again. She respected Xie Yijun very much, so she didn't want to see Xie Yijun, and she couldn't see him. The leader of the Shu army was still Xie Yijun in name, nominally, and she had always swept the four routes of Chuanxia outside with her troops and rarely returned to Chengdu Prefecture.

The biggest person she could see should be the lady of the workshop owner. I heard that the boss of the workshop was named Shen, and he was a wealthy merchant. Every time he gave Lifu's monthly money to labor, Miss Shen would come over and under the heavy protection of the Heiyu Guard, he would pay the money to the manager, and then give the money to Lifu. As for the prisoners, they would notify him to keep the account.

As the days passed day by day, as Wang Bing retreated step by step, the court was no longer able to mobilize heavy troops to clear the enemy. He could only watch Cao Taisui's territory expand to the entire Sichuan Gorge Four Road.
