Wei Lianheng was quite satisfied with his answer, and continued to induce: "Where did the thief come from? ”

Zhang Dayou looked up at Wei Lianheng and asked uncertainly, "...... Where did the thieves come from? ”

"What about you, I ask? I've heard that it's pirates who plague Changhua, isn't that true? ”

"Yes, yes, it's a pirate ......" Zhang Dayou nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Lianheng glanced at the direction of the county government next door and asked, "I heard that the county magistrate was seriously injured, I don't know what happened?" ”

Zhang Dayou insisted: "It must have been done by a damn thief." ”

Wei Lianheng nodded with satisfaction, put the knife back into the scabbard, and said, "Our army is fighting with the thieves, exhausted, and needs to rest......"

Zhang Dayou hurriedly said: "I will vacate the barracks of the Thousand Households and let your troops rest and recuperate......

"Before the thieves retreated, they burned, killed, and plundered, damaging many houses, and many people were killed and wounded, and the aftermath needs to be ......"

"This is easy to do, I will immediately gather my subordinates to clean up the rubble and shelter the injured people."

"The county ...... over there"

"I'll send someone to take care of him, and then find a Lang Zhong to treat him."

Seeing him like this, Wei Lianheng was also a lot more relieved, and it was easier to do so. He nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, and I'll lead people to rest." ”

Zhang Dayou said respectfully: "I will send someone to lead the way." ”

When he walked to the door, Wei Lianheng thought of something, turned around and asked: "Zhixian is injured and unconscious, and he may not know about our drive away from the thief, if he talks nonsense, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings......

Zhang Da was willing, this was because he was afraid that Lu Zhixian would not cooperate, and he hurriedly said: "I will send someone to take care of him and let him recuperate well. ”

Wei Lianheng laughed, hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, in addition to being greedy for life and afraid of death, this Qianhu is a wonderful person, saving himself a lot of hands and feet.

This siege battle ended in this way. Wei Lianheng did not come forward to clean up the mess, but handed it over to the Changhua Thousand Households to avoid irritating the people in the city - the means used to attack the city were not humane enough after all, and it was impossible for the people to have no grievances, and the local military households would come forward, at least it would not intensify the contradictions. Fortunately, the siege was at the west gate, and the dwellings in the west of the city were relatively sparse, and the casualties were not too serious, so they did not arouse too much resentment.

After capturing Xiachanghua, Wei Lianheng sent people back to Lingao on the same day. The movement on the Lingao side was also very fast, and three days later, Lin Weiye personally led a group of craftsmen from the steel factory to Changhua.

Lin Weiye came to prepare for the construction of a new steel plant. After controlling Changhua, it was possible to go to Shilu mining openly, and the steel plant could be located directly outside the county seat.

It is much more efficient to rely on Changhua's human resources to mine and make iron on the spot than to mine iron from Tiandu and then transport iron ore back to Lingao for iron smelting, and it is more cost-effective to transport finished steel than iron ore. No matter when, it is the best choice for the iron-making plant to be located near the iron mine, and it is also a last resort to mine in Tiandu, but the steel plant is located in Lingao.

Lin Weiye has been thinking about the Shilu iron ore finally arrived, overjoyed, when he entered Baoshan and returned empty, forced to go to Tiandu mining regret, the fourth year after the crossing finally made up. As a metallurgical engineer, he was able to preside over the mining of the largest open-pit iron ore mine in China, and this cowhide can be blown to grandchildren.

Shiroku iron ore is an open-pit shallow ore body, which is very simple to mine, but it takes a little more to transport. Lin Weiye devised a scientific and reasonable route, first transporting iron ore from Yayuling to the mouth of the Shilu River by manpower, and then transporting it by water to the outside of Changhua County, where the new Changhua Iron and Steel Plant will be built, and the Bairentan Iron and Steel Plant on the bank of the Wenlan River will be relocated here as a whole, in the words of Xia Nan, called industrial transfer.

In this way, the manpower required to dig pits, transport ore, and build steel plants is not small, and the scale is two or three times larger than that of Bairentan, and the output is also several times higher. After the notice of recruiting workers was posted at the entrance of the county office, it attracted many onlookers. Lin Weiye's conditions were relatively generous, and as long as the miners mined enough ore every day, they could get a salary of 100 yuan, and three meals a day were included.

The geology and landform of Changhua are special, the output in the land is not high, and the people are generally struggling below the poverty line, and most of them do not have enough to eat. Now seeing such generous conditions, everyone is moved, not to mention that it is a great temptation to be able to eat enough every day, not to mention the salary of 100 yuan. Within two days of posting the notice, enough workers were recruited.

Workers carried their tools into the mountains and went to Shilu, a place known locally as Yayuling, to mine. Outside Changhua City, the construction of a new steel plant has also begun in full swing. The young men in the city were basically recruited, and there were many military households from thousands of households.

It stands to reason that military households are not allowed to engage in other industries, but the proprietor is the Qiongzhou battalion that cannot be provoked, and the military households are all eating locally, and they have not escaped from their nationality, so Zhang Dayou naturally turned a blind eye and treated it as if he didn't see it.

Regarding the course of the battle, Zhang Dayou has already reported according to Wei Lianheng's instructions, and there has been no response for the time being. According to his past experience, those who are officials are better than less things, regardless of whether you are a real thief or a fake thief, as long as the matter settles down, most of them will not ask again. What's more, the Qiongzhou prefect Yamen and even Guangdong have commanded the envoys, as long as they know that this matter is related to the Qiongzhou battalion, they may not dare to pursue it.

It's just that the Qiongzhou camp is involved in Changhua, and the good days like the emperor of his own soil are over, and he will have to be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.

However, he also knew that the worst person was not himself, but Lu Gengyu, the county magistrate.

After Lu Gengyu returned to the county government from the city, he was injured by the bricks and trees that collapsed from the flowering bullet, and his life was fine, but his left leg was seriously injured and his leg bone was broken. According to Lang Zhong, after recuperation, there is no problem walking, but it will be limping when walking.

A lame magistrate is the laughing stock of Qiongzhou officialdom when it is spread out. Zhang Dayou knows that with Lu Gengyu's temperament, most of them can't stand the dislike of Shangguan and the ridicule of their peers, so it is very likely that he will take the initiative to resign from Zhishi, depending on when he made this decision.

Thinking of this, Zhang Da looked in the direction of the county government next door, since the day the city was broken, Lu Gengyu had never been out of the gate of the county government since he was sober, and there was no sign of impeachment, and the worry on the side of the Qiongzhou camp was superfluous.

Zhang Dayou guessed that Xu Lu Gengyu saw the overwhelming strength of the Qiongzhou battalion, and there was no room for resistance, so he was disheartened, and he simply ignored it. (To be continued.) )
