Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 247 Let's Work, Dad!
Wang Hou is different from any warlord in this era!Others are fighting in their own territory, the sky is three feet high, the poor can't survive, and they fight on other people's land to grab money, food, and women!Uh... Wang Hou seems to be robbing women too, but he is very rich in his own territory. Seeing that there are "gold mines and silver mines", the population for development is not enough!The most important thing is to come here to snatch people!

More than a dozen iron ore and coal mines have been discovered in Taishan County. This year, the Rizhao Iron and Steel Plant will expand its production scale and need to recruit people!
Wang Hou plans to build a road from Linzi to Rizhao City, so as to make better use of scissors to transport industrial products such as iron pots, iron bowls, iron cabinets, furniture, farm tools, and cotton coats to Qidi. Lao Cai stuffed the grain that was almost moldy in the granary, and he had to recruit people to build roads.

Now that the demand for cement has doubled, cement factories also need to recruit people.

On the other end, Wang Hou is going to open Qingdao Port, where he will build the largest port shipbuilding center in the north, and construction workers are also needed there!
Stimulated by Rizhao's industry and commerce, the grain industry in Guangling County is also developing on a large scale this year. Chen Deng plans to open up wasteland. He even needs manpower to work in Xuzhou. There are so many job opportunities!

But Old Shuantou took his family with him, none of them went!

Under the blue-gray city wall of Linzi, with a large family, squatting there with their sleeves tucked up, the old Shuantou was still looking around in disbelief, muttering in disbelief.

"It's strange! Back then, the city of Linzi was full of people, why is there no one this year?"

It’s not that there are no one, there are people like him squatting at the base of the wall, but they are a group of slobs, lazily shrinking there, eating and waiting to die but unwilling to work, some rich family members in the city show kindness and come out to give porridge and steamed buns. Come out to hang out, starve if you don't have one, an idler who would rather be hungry than find a job!

"Ah Ong, can someone be there? As soon as she arrived, she was recruited away! If you want me to say that the fat lady is very real, why don't we go with her? We're not afraid of working, can't we earn a living? ?”

After squatting for a whole day, the old man's misjudgment caused the young people in the clan to become suspicious, but listening to what A Wu said, the old Shuantou rolled his eyes angrily.

"What do you know, kid? There are fish for three meals a day? I'll give you cloth back, dream! Those people are obviously cannibals, let's follow them, maybe we will be tricked to slaughter them for the pot! Look at the animals they raise It’s so fat, it’s all eating human flesh! There’s not even a patch on the clothes on it, and it’s the clothes of dead people who have been picked up to seal them!”

Ah Wu was really dumbfounded. When they came yesterday, hundreds of them were recruited away together, and hundreds of them were recruited away this morning. They were all killed and cannibalized?Then you have to hold on to death?Full of helplessness, he bowed again.

"Ah Weng, the government over there is recruiting people! The government must be reliable! It's better than starving here and relying on it!"

"The government? The government is even more untrustworthy. It's a horse's hoof. A big battle will drive you to stop the horse's hoof! You don't know why the son of the village head, Old Liu, died!"

"Listen to me! Wait! The government is taking such measures, and within a few days, those fleeing famine will have to block the gates of Linzi City. When the time comes, let's sneak in!"

The old man was really stubborn, with his goatee pouted, his hands stuck in his cuffs, and he squatted at the base of the wall of Linzi city in a fit of rage. Ah Wu looked helplessly and shook his head.

…………

After squatting like this, another two days have passed. Fleeing here in Linzi is really starving. Some families in the city send people out from time to time to deliver some food in order to accumulate some evil virtues.

But everyone has pursuits, stuffing cold steamed buns into his mouth, and when Ah Wu was filling his stomach, a milky voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"Mother, why are these people squatting in the corner of the city wall!"

"These are unmotivated slobs, rice worms, and useless people who deserve to die of starvation. Brother, you can't learn from them when you grow up!"

"Well, mother, I will never learn from them!"

Carrying a basket, under the guard of the servants, the glamorous lady left with her son who had been educated on the spot, but what Ah Wu heard was a burst of sadness, full of helplessness, and he turned away again. He looked up at his father!

But he pretended not to see, gnawed on the cold steamed buns, Lao Shuan turned his head to the side, and Ah Wu shook his head helplessly while watching.

There is a saying that there is no book without a coincidence, just when Ah Wu was bored selling orders, he suddenly stopped his eyes, glanced at his father who was squatting on the ground, and quietly slipped out.

Wang Houda disarmed, and only 7 of the [-] people were left. Of course, the remaining people didn't just let go. Wouldn't it be possible for the whole family to deal with their own manpower?Moreover, it was hard to hold a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in their hands, without squeezing out some blood and sweat. How could this be the style of a profiteer like Wang Hou?

A total of 6 strong men recruited by Chengyang County were organized into a reserve corps. 1 people built a road from Linzi, passed through Dongguan County, and arrived at Rizhao City. Rizhao City built a road in the opposite direction to Linzi City, 2 people built the road leading to Taishan County, and another 1 people were also sent directly to Rizhao City, but after a short stay in Rizhao, they will bring materials to build Qingdao Port.

Now there are only [-] reserve auxiliary soldiers left in Linzi City, and Wang Hou has to recruit additional auxiliary soldiers from the refugees.

Although it costs a lot to build roads now, Wang Hou is not in the business of losing money. After the road is repaired, he will build toll gates in the counties he passes by. Pay him the highway toll!You can only leave by kicking the lizard card with a lizard, and he will also form a patrol fee cavalry, specially galloping on the straight road to block the road and rob, if you catch you without paying the fee, you will be punished to death!

Although these auxiliary soldiers were not regarded as real soldiers, but Wang Hou, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, in order to show their identity as soldiers, he eliminated the regular army and put them on the broken leather armor and pierced armor. A brave man.

To Ah Wu's surprise, just now he saw a man wearing armor, a rare knife, and a red cloth wrapped around his arm, performing the task of maintaining law and order. He was said to have died outside. The old Liu in the village The head's only son Liu Zhuzi!
"Brother Zhuzi!"

Unbelievably walking around with the patrol team, Ah Wu cautiously called out, not to mention, this Liu Zhuzi was a petty official, listening to his familiar accent, he suddenly led the team to a stop, and he too Turning his head in disbelief, he shouted in surprise.

"Awu! You..., why did you come here!"

"Yes, do you know the news from our village? How are my father and his mother?"

Surprisingly, he rushed to A Wu, shaking his arm, and Liu Zhuzi asked hurriedly, but A Wu's expression froze when he heard these words.

"Brother, listen to me, you..., don't worry!"
