Fu Song

Chapter 99 Be Prepared
(I made a trip, and only made an appointment. I went for an enhanced MRI on Monday. I knew that I had a problem, but I didn’t know how big the problem was. It’s really hard to live in such a day! Well, Monday and Tuesday are all hospitals. It's over. MRI on Monday, gastroenteroscopy on Tuesday. People, don't get sick if you have anything. Friends, take good care of your body!)
"Kaijialuo!" With the loud cry of the young leader Zhu Laoyao, everyone who had been waiting around for a long time clasped their fists together and prayed silently to God.

Zhu Laoyao originally asked Xiao Cheng to open the cellar for the first cellar, but Xiao Cheng resigned, so this job had to be done by Zhu Lao Yao, who is a master in this industry.

As the drill went down, the mud seal of the cellar was smashed, and several bricks fell out with the sound of smashing each other.Zhu Laoyao looked inside for a while from the opened gap, turned around, and waved his arms excitedly: "One cellar is a good brick, one cellar is a good brick!"

Everyone immediately cheered.

Xiao Cheng, like everyone else, raised his arms and cheered.These days, brick-burning often depends on luck, especially for a new cellar that has just been built. Whether it succeeds or not is the most experienced old master, and he has no bottom in his heart.

The six cellars became five, and one was abandoned, but the youngest Zhu was still full of joy.

The first time it was successful, the next time it was much easier, even if it was burnt out, it was possible to find faults to correct it.With bricks, it is much easier to build a house and expand a fort.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Xiao Cheng said congratulations to the youngest Zhu, "Give rewards to everyone who participated in the cellar digging and cellar burning. You, the foreman, get the biggest share!"

"Thank you Xiao Xianxing!" Zhu Lao Yao said happily.

"This is what you deserve." Xiao Cheng said: "Old Zhu, make arrangements for getting out of the cellar, and then you come to my room, we will have a meeting!"

"Okay!" Zhu Lao Yao nodded again and again.

By the time Zhu Lao Yao appeared in Xiao Cheng's room with the scent of fireworks all over, Xin Jian and He Zheng were already sitting upright.After repeatedly confessing to the crime, the youngest Zhu sat down at the bottom. After walking so long with Xiao Cheng, he was very familiar with some of Xiao Cheng's work patterns.

"Okay, now, except for Luo Gang to take the caravan to buy goods that have not returned, all the other managers are here." Xiao Cheng knocked on the table: "Now we have a meeting."

"Erlang, despite his orders!" Xin Jian cupped his hands.

"It's not an order, it's a meeting, and the meeting is for discussion!" Xiao Cheng said, "For example, I have read a lot about military matters, but I don't have any serious military experience. The last time I dealt with the Weiming clan was in my life. The first battle. Let’s talk about farming and building a house, I don’t know how the youngest Zhu is better than me!”

"Erlang is too humble!" The three people in the room shook their hands.

"Okay, I'm not being humble. You decide how to do things. I'll give you some things and set rules. This is to do your best." Xiao Cheng smiled: "Let's talk about military affairs first. Everyone has seen it. , The Weiming clan suffered such a big loss in our hands, whether they will swallow it is still a question. At present, according to the information from all parties, we can be sure that big players like Renduo and Tuoba Tribes will never go through this muddy water. As for how many of those small clans will be instigated by the Weiming clan, it is hard to say now, but Ye Li and Xifeng will help us get in touch."

"That is to say, if there is still a war, it is basically only the Weiming clan." Xin Jian said.

"Theoretically, this is the case!" Xiao Cheng said: "But there is one thing we should pay attention to. The Weiming Clan has always been a powerful arm that Li Xu of the Ding Difficulty Army stretched to Hengshan. It is not only the Weiming tribe, but it also hurt Li Xu's face, making it more difficult for the Weiming tribe to win over other tribes in Hengshan. Therefore, it is not ruled out that Li Xu will send people to help. The Ministry will definitely not use all of his wealth to fight with us again, but if we have the support of Li Xu and send reinforcements, the result will be different."

"Then how do we deal with it?" Xin Jian asked.

"If you want to fight Shentangbao, there are only a few ways!" Xiao Cheng said: "We must send more scouts and sentries to ensure that we can obtain the enemy's military information in advance. If something happens, we can fight a well-prepared battle. The youngest, all the bricks from this first furnace will be used to transform and renovate the fortress of the temple to ensure its defense function, and it will be able to fight against enemies that are several times our size. You are the city defense. As an expert in the field, you have participated in the construction of many defense facilities in Tianmen Village. You are responsible for this matter. For military reconnaissance and preparation for war, Xin Jian and He Zheng are in charge. The five hundred regular army, Don't get involved in anything else, just get ready for war."

"Yes!" The three people in the room nodded.

"Be prepared for everything. I always feel that there will be another battle to be fought. Only if we win this battle again, they will not dare to provoke us again." Xiao Cheng said: "By the way, the Miao control system brought Those civilian husbands, who is in charge now?"

Zhu Laodao said: "Chen Qiao is in charge, but Erlang, what kind of people are Miao Tongzhi sending? They are not old wives and old men, or they are weak and sick at first sight. Women and children account for almost half of them. They are here to help Are they planting our fields? They were sent by the Miao system to cause trouble for us?"

"In any case, they are all the people around Dingbian City, and they will be the people under the elder brother's rule in the future, so they still have to take care of them. Are you an old man and an old woman? If you can walk all the way here, your health is not bad. That's it. , the large area of ​​land we just burned is now in need of manpower to plough. We have no shortage of livestock and plowshares. These old men are always fine with their plows, right? The soil has been burnt loose, and it is Women and children can also do it.”

Zhu Laoyao nodded: "Chen Qiao said the same."

"Well, this person still has some vision!" Xiao Cheng praised and said: "Go back and tell Chen Qiao, in addition to ensuring that these people have good food, in addition, set a certain amount of completion for them every day, For example, if you use livestock, how much needs to be done, and if you use a hoe, how much needs to be done, you need to measure this well so that they have the ability to do it.”

"Ok."

"Wages, daily settlement!"

"Pay back the wages?" Zhu Lao Yao asked in surprise. "This is corvée, how do you get paid? Our Guangrui army family members have never asked for wages."

"Guang Rui's family members are creating a safe home for themselves!" Xiao Cheng said: "But these people are different. And if we don't give money, how can we attract more people to work here? Chen Qiao said that if there is an excess, then add money. Make sure to let these people know that working here can earn more than they do at home.”

"Now at home, where is the place to make money!" Oldest Zhu said, "I'm ready for Maodong."

"That's even better, don't these old women and children have sons, nephews, brothers, or husbands at home? Seeing that they have money, will they think of ways to notify the family to run here?" Xiao Cheng smiled. "Everyone, don't be afraid to pay, now we are not short of money, what we have to do now is to do a good job in the camp here in the shortest possible time, and complete the expansion of the castle. When the main force arrives, we can directly Do the right thing."

Everyone suddenly realized, Xin Jian gave a thumbs up: "Erlang's skills are still high, then Miao Shou may not think that we can make such a move, when a large number of young people come to me, is it possible that he dares to stop it? If he really dares to stop him, I will sue him generously."

Xiao Cheng chuckled, thinking that I have a lot of small tricks. When the decisive battle in Qionglinyuan was going on, I was going to abduct your doll!
"What about those prisoners?" He Zheng said, "Is it still the same as before?"

"What's the job for them to do? For this matter, dozens of soldiers are assigned to be responsible for maintaining security. If there is any bad sign, kill Wuhe immediately! Now, I can't be soft at all." Xiao Cheng coldly Said: "When my brother and I were discussing how to pacify the rebellion in Hengshan, I felt that we had to fight and pull, and the fight was Li Xu's possible accomplice, and since he made a move, he must not be merciful, to put it bluntly. , This Weiming tribe, since it jumped out and provoke us first, then whether it is me or my brother, they will definitely be wiped out of Hengshan. Right now, I am not strong enough, I can only be on the defensive and wait for him It strikes again, and when the big brother comes, we will fight back, grab this fat sheep, and beat it to the death, this is Liwei."

"Will it make Hengshan Zhufan's lips die?"

"So we have to open a market in Shentangbao, do business, trade fairly with Hengshan Tibetans, and communicate with each other! Do you know how difficult a fair trade is for Hengshan Tibetans? In the past, the imperial court To deal with them is either to ask them to pay tribute, or to take and buy, ha, this is skinning others! Everyone remember Luo, economic interests, enough economic interests, can link former enemies together and become interests community."

"These days, everyone has raised their spirits, especially General Xin and General He. The army is the guarantee for all of us. If something goes wrong with you, the castle will be over." Xiao Cheng said.

"Erlang, don't worry." Xin Jian and He Zheng quickly stood up and bowed.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and Li Xin poked his head in: "Erlang, there was news from a scout just now that an army is coming to Shentang Castle."

"The army? Where did it come from?"

"It's in the direction of Dingbian City!" Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of several people in the house, Li Xin quickly said: "The scout went to ask, and the leader of the team was a general who said he came from Yan'an Mansion, and it was the Ma Fu envoy who heard that After our defeat of the Weiming Ministry, I was worried about the retaliation of the Hengshan tribes, so I sent them here."

Xiao Cheng glanced at each other and looked at each other in dismay.

How much Ma Xing did not trust Miao Shou to do such a thing!

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
It's really hard to say.
