Suppressing people with power has never been Xiao Han's please, he appreciates Lei Laohu's words: Conquer people with virtue!

Of course, Lei Laohu's dismal fate also told him: blindly convincing people with virtue is pure nonsense!

In these years, only a carrot in one hand and a big stick mallet in the other hand can be mixed.

Seeing that the two had no objections, Xiao Han withdrew from outsiders, took Xue Pan and the old man surnamed Dong into the house, and began to tell his thoughts.

Related to the old man who knows how to build ships, it is naturally a ship!

In fact, Xiao Han only thought a few days ago: when the rice is ripe this season, there must be something to transport them away, after all, Hanzhong is not the most suitable place for them to grow.

There will be a lot of food this season! Thousands of acres of bumper grain by land? Not to mention that the mountains and rivers are far away, even if the horses and people are carried along the way, the food they consume is not in the decimal number!

Fortunately, the Hanzhong waterway is not bad, and the Han River, which is close at hand, directly flows into the Yangtze River, so Xiao Han will send his thoughts to the ship.

"Master Hou, you want us to build a ship?" Yang Kai immediately frowned after listening to Xiao Han's rough words.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he really doesn't know how to do it! Let the landlord go to work as a boatman? What does this Hou Ye think? Didn't consider whether the landlord would be seasick?

"Dong Lao, you are an expert in this area, you see?" Xiao Han didn't rush to answer Yang Kailuo's words, but set his eyes on the old man.

The old man was still expressionless, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what boat you want?" How many ships? When to do it? ”

"Well" Xiao Han thought for a while, and then said: "It doesn't matter what ship it is, as long as it can carry goods and pull grain!" How much? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Han tentatively stretched out a finger.

"One?" Yang Kai, who was left out in the cold, took a look at it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with his eyebrows flying: "A ship? That's easy! Master Hou, what kind of wood do you want, I will immediately ask someone to go to Qinling to cut it for you! ”

Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I still use you for a boat?" I'll nail it myself! Mind you, I mean a hundred! The time is two months! ”

"A hundred? Two... Two months? ”

At this moment, not only Yang Kai was slightly stunned, but even the old man and Xue Pan's faces changed greatly, and they all looked at Xiao Han with a brush, as if they wanted to see if he was crazy!

Being looked at by several people like this, Xiao Han estimated that he also felt that this was an impossible task, so he thought about it and added: "If you can't build it yourself, buy it and rent it!" Dong Lao is an expert in this area, I think I will know a lot of people in the future, and I need these boats very much now! Rest assured, the money for buying and renting a boat will not be given to you less! There is just one requirement, the boat must be strong! Don't sink halfway! ”

Dong Lao lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Xiao Han and said, "This is ...... I'll give it a try! But Master Hou, if I can complete what you explained, can you promise me one thing? ”

Xiao Han grinned: "Haha, what's so difficult?" ”

The old man's eyes suddenly burst into a burst of light, staring at Xiao Han and asking, "Really?" ”

Xiao Han also looked at the old man: "A gentleman's word, a quick horse!" ”

The autumn wind is bleak, and the shadows are chaotic.

Coming out of the old man's house, Xiao Han and Xue Pan went to the Yang family's temple to put on a stick of incense, and then they refused the escort of Yang Kailuo with a happy face, and walked back together.

Walking across the lake, turn to the place where the children catch crabs, where the children have long since disappeared, leaving only scattered footprints and a few small fish thrown randomly by the stream.

Stretching out his foot and kicking the little fish that was about to die into the stream, Xiao Han paused, and suddenly yelled around: "What about people? If you're not dead, get out of here! ”

There was silence all around, Xue Pan pulled Xiao Han's sleeve strangely, and was about to ask a question, but found that a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and several men flashed out of nowhere.

"Xiao Han! This is? Xue Pan was startled, and pulled Xiao Han to retreat, but was tightly held by Xiao Han.

"It's okay, my own people!" comforted Xue Pan in a low voice, Xiao Han raised his head and scolded the leading man angrily: "Jiayi! Can you not jump out like that next time? Didn't you see it and scared everyone? ”

There is no doubt that it is Jia Yi and a few of them, and they have been secretly following Xiao Han since he left the realm. At that time, when the bald head suddenly appeared by the lake, it is estimated that he never dreamed that several strong crossbows would be aimed at him in secret!

Jia Yi, who was called out by Xiao Han, had a dark face, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't hold back the words that he wanted to scold his mother!

You're in love, you're in love! Lao Tzu worked hard to escort all the way, but in the end they ended up wrong?

"Master Hou, how do you know that we are following you?" This was asked by Jia Si, among several people, he was the youngest, and of course, the relationship with Xiao Han was the best.

"Well..."Xiao Han deliberately sold a pass, and saw that everyone else pricked up their ears, and then said slowly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

"Cut ......"

Jia Si learned from Xiao Han's usual appearance and compared a middle finger, but soon, he was slapped on the head one by one, very loudly!

"Well deserved!" Xiao Han looked at Jia Si hugging his head and gloating.

Jia Yi withdrew his hand, and then asked Xiao Han with his hand: "Master Hou, what are your instructions for us?" ”

Seeing that when it came to business, Xiao Han also put away his joking face, and said seriously: "There is something for you to do, in this way, you immediately send someone to Hanzhong City and ask for the information of the Yang family to me!" Then go to the post house and let the post envoy go to Chang'an to be the supervisor to obtain the information of this person surnamed Dong. ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the order was issued, the first and four people immediately agreed loudly! Then he flashed to the side again, and he didn't know where to go, only Xiao Qi on the ground stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail in one direction.

"Don't feed it so weekdays! Now when I smell you, I will cry! ”

He gestured his middle finger in the direction that Xiao Qi was facing, and Xiao Han laughed with satisfaction. Today was a good harvest, and if nothing else, it could solve a big problem!

Xue Pan on the side looked at Xiao Han, who was full of ambition in front of him, and suddenly felt a little unfamiliar in his heart for the first time.

Others say that Xiao Han is a person who acts whimsically and without bounds! But when he was with him, he was stupid, he bullied him if he wanted to, and he lost his temper when he wanted to, and he never saw him turn his face. Maybe it wasn't until now that she realized that she really couldn't see through this man.

"Xiao Han, why do you want so many ships?" Xue Pan thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind to ask this question that he wanted to ask in the old man's house, thinking that Yang Kailiu and the old man should also want to know the answer.

"Didn't I say that? Deliver grain! Xiao Han spread his hands and said.

"But where are you going to ship it?"

"Go south, Gangneung! There is a suitable place for the growth of three-crop rice, take good care, three crops a year is by no means a dream! Wait until later, and then go down the river, and when you get to the south of the Yangtze River, you ...... tsk."

"But, isn't Gangneung still Xiao Miao's territory? How can you get the grain to where? ”

"I want to say: Soon it will be the place of Datang, don't you believe it?" Xiao Han pretended to ask profoundly.

Xue Pan shook his head and nodded again, looking very contradictory.

Although she is a woman, in this troubled world, there will always be some information from all parties, and she naturally knows that Li Xiaogong and Li Jing went to attack Jiangling and other places that are not secret.

However, according to the words recognized by the court, this war of annihilation will never end if it is not fought for a year or two! Where did Xiao Han get his confidence, thinking that within two months, they would be able to conquer the great rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River?

(Note: Xiao Mo was defeated by Li Xiaogong in 621, here for the sake of the plot, a little earlier.) Another: Xiao Mo is also a big husband in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty! In order to protect the people, he couldn't bear to lose their lives, so he resolutely gave up refusing to resist danger and went out of the city to die at the age of 39. ）
