Liu Bao and Lu Feng, who rushed all the way from Shayang County, were warmly received by Wang Hou in Feng County, and today's Feng County is very different from last year, because a cooperation agreement was reached with Shu Hui in private, and the Qi people will no longer come to make a commotion, and for the people who fled from the area controlled by the Qi people, Liang Da basically turned a blind eye, as long as you are not too unlucky, and directly bumped into the hands of the Qi army's patrol, it is safe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The influx of a large number of people has also restored the prosperity of Feng County in a short period of time, the streets are full of crowded people, and most of the shops are open, although there are not many goods in the shops, and there are no rare delicacies in the restaurants, but fortunately, some basic necessities can still be bought, and walking into the restaurant will not make you hungry.

All of this expresses that Fengxian is gradually coming out of the misery of the war and has begun to embark on a path of normal development.

On the top of Yanshan, the Taiping army set up a small fortress here, here, it is also the first checkpoint to guard the Taiping City, there are not many people stationed, only two hundred, but it is quite a husband and a man, and ten thousand people are not open.

As soon as they passed the Turtle Mountain, both Liu Bao and Lu Feng were a little shocked and speechless, thousands of people were wielding pickaxes, pushing wheelbarrows, carrying burdens, carrying baskets, and working hard under the sun, and behind them, a big road had gradually taken shape, and from the mountains farther away, like a white giant, was shaking its head and tail to lean out of his huge body.

"This road will be built from Taiping City to Feng County." Zou Zheng, the commander of the Yanshan Fortress who accompanied the two into the mountain, proudly pointed to the construction site in full swing, "With this road, Taiping City, which is located in the deep mountains, will be connected to the outside, Mr. Liu, Mr. Lu, the two never dreamed that such a huge project, our Taiping City has been built to such a scale in less than half a year, right?" ”

"I really didn't expect it!" Liu Bao was extremely shocked by the mobilization ability of Taiping City, such a large project, for any place, even a large county like Shayang County is a heavy pressure on the finances, how did Taiping City do it? "I'm afraid it will take a lot of money, where did Taiping City get so much money?"

Liu Bao is the big housekeeper of the Liu family, and he is almost half of the housekeeper of Shayang County, and he is no stranger to the cost and budget of such a large-scale project. After all, he still has so many people to raise.

"If you have a lot of money, you have a way to do it, and if you don't have money, you have a way to call Hanako!" Zou Zheng snorted a haha, but refused to say it explicitly. "Two, after this section, we will be on the road, the speed is fast, in the past, to Taiping City, at least a few days away, now, half a day to arrive."

Liu Bao carefully observed the road he stepped on, although Zou Zheng said that it was called Huazi's method, but the fact is obviously not, the foundation is extremely solid, the road surface is paved with small gravel, and then pressed with a stone grinder to make porcelain, such a road surface, even rainy days will not be muddy, and on both sides of the road, you can also see the drainage ditch dug out, some places have just been excavated, some places, but you can see that it has been built with stones, how to look at this is a boutique project, and called Huazi can not hang up at all.

"Many of these people are captives of Changyang County, right? So honest and obedient? Liu Bao pretended to ask casually, and in the group of people who had just passed, he heard the dialect of Changyang County.

"The world is too chaotic now, and it's not easy to survive!" Zou Zheng shook his head and said: "In our place, there is still a mouthful of food to eat, as long as you are willing to exert your strength, you can eat enough, and no one bullies you, if they are not honest and obedient, then they really don't know how to lift." Steward Liu, tens of thousands of captives, are now very honest. My general said that as long as the one-year observation period is over, they will be able to share the land and houses like other people in Taiping City, and if they want to go back to their hometown in Changyang at that time, we will not stop them, and with this hope, they will not make trouble! ”

Liu Bao nodded, it seems that Taiping City has taken quite effective control measures for these captured bandits, not only did not make them a burden, but made it a help for them to build Taiping, this alone can make people impressive, that Ge Qingsheng, I didn't see such an ability before, it seems that it is still the kung fu of the mysterious big leader. Such a figure, it is no wonder that Old Lady Liu has high hopes for him, in Liu Bao's opinion, the current Old Lady Liu is obviously willing to cooperate with this bandit leader, and even do not hesitate to give up this position of the general, rather than give in to Mo Luo, or the one in Yuejing City.

Old lady Liu's reason is very simple, with the above two, the Liu family will be swallowed up to the point that there is not even scum left, and with this cooperation, the Liu family can also maintain a certain independent status. But seeing such a scene now, this person who is only afraid that he is also arrogant and capable of doing clouds can really tolerate the Liu family?

Liu Bao's heart couldn't help beating a drum in his heart.

Now, whether it is the one in Yuejing City, or Mo Luo, even this Taiping City, which can not show the mountains and waters, but occasionally shocks the world, for the Liu family, it is a flood beast with a hideous mouth, and the seemingly powerful Liu family is completely powerless to protect itself in such a situation, and the only thing that can be done is to choose the lesser of two evils.

This is where strong force comes in. In troubled times, fists are the biggest.

The sun was setting in the west, and from the top of the higher mountain in the west, only half of the face of the red sunset remained, sprinkling the last ray of sunlight on Qin Feng and Liu Bao.

When he arrived in Taiping City, Liu Bao was led directly to this place, a cliff that could overlook the entire Taiping City, and met the master he wanted to see on his second trip.

"General Li, the old lady instructed the villain to greet you on his behalf." Liu Bao said humbly.

Qin Feng waved his hand and beckoned to Liu Bao: "Steward Liu, come and take a look, how is Taiping City now?" ”

Standing on the cliff that stretched out far into the air, looking down on the Taiping City at his feet, Liu Bao's heart was shocked needless to say, the last time he came, it was still a barren place, but in that place, a small site was opened, built into the house, the city wall, but half a year has passed, here, it has been like opening the world, changing a model, the city wall is built along the cliff all the way, winding like a spiritual snake, extending from his eyes to the place where he can not see, a large number of houses rise from the ground, From here, the houses are neatly arranged, divided into small neat squares by wide roads. The flow of people is blazing, and the rivers are constantly coming and going, and this originally barren land is now bursting with vitality.

"It's impressive!" Liu Bao said honestly: "Although Shayang County is large, but it has taken hundreds of years to have today's scale, it is hard to imagine that Taiping City has such a scale in less than a year, and over time, Taiping City will become a bright pearl on this land." ”

"The hearts of the people are united, and the mountains are moving!" Qin Feng smiled: "As long as everyone aims at a goal and strives to move towards this goal, there will be a day of success, just like when we arrived here last year, even I didn't expect that the entry would be so fast." ”

"This is all General Li's strategic work!" Liu Bao said sincerely: "General Li, now that Shayang County is in great danger, the old lady still hopes that you can go to your aid as soon as possible." ”

Qin Feng turned his head with a smile: "It's true that Shayang County is under siege, but when it comes to the danger, it's not enough." In the battle with Bao Bufan, I also roughly figured out the combat effectiveness of the Shuntian Army, the city of Shayang County is high and stable, and the old lady Liu is in charge, if you want to break him, it is not an overnight thing! ”

Liu Bao nodded: "What General Li said is good, but the general also knows that every day of such a siege will cause greater damage to Shayang County, and the old lady knows what the general is thinking, so this time I let Liu Bao come over so that the general can let go of this heart." ”

"Old lady Liu knows what I'm thinking?" Qin Feng smiled and asked rhetorically.

"The general's ambition is to control Shayang County, and his real purpose is actually the same as Mo Luo!" Liu Bao looked at Qin Feng with a wry smile, "The old lady said that the general is waiting for a more appropriate time to intervene in the battle in Shayang, and this appropriate time is naturally the moment when the wealthy families of our Shayang County are all hit hard under Mo Luo's hands. ”

Qin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, "Is this how Old Lady Liu sees me?" ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Baodao.

"If Mrs. Liu really sees me like this, then why did you choose to cooperate with me?" Qin Feng looked at Liu Bao thoughtfully.

"In the past, our Liu family cooperated with those two people in Yuejing City, and it was not that those two people didn't want to swallow the Liu family, but the Liu family was deeply rooted, and they couldn't start. When Zhang Ning was in power, the appearance was even more ugly, but the two people in Yuejing didn't want to see us swallowed by Zhang Zuoxiang when we couldn't protect ourselves and had to beg them? As for Mo Luo, not to mention, General Li told me last time that they were just a bunch of locusts, who only knew about destruction, not production, and were not good partners for cooperation. ”

"Then why did Mrs. Liu choose me? Didn't he say that I was in line with the goals of these people? ”

"Naturally, there is something different." Liu Baodao: "Because the general is still quite weak now. If you want to choose a partner to cooperate with, the Liu family naturally has to choose a weaker one, because only in this way can the Liu family have a chance to survive. (To be continued.) )
