Chapter 074: Fighting for Water Leads to New Fortifications
Seeing that Zeng Yi was so frightened by Su Quan that he peed his pants, Liu Xing couldn't help but snicker, and at the same time, there was a burst of laughter from the surrounding crowd.
In the midst of laughter, Liu Xing watched Zeng Yi being taken away, and suddenly looked back and glanced coldly at the crowd standing on both sides, still in a state of confrontation.
Turning his gaze to the direction where those people had just entered, Liu Xing said coldly: "Standing opposite you are the pioneers of this valley for three generations, and the aborigines of this outdoor paradise. And what about you? It's just a group of outsiders who have just entered the valley. Why, if you want to stage it in front of me, isn't it a hazy Jiang drama? Do they give you shelter and food and salt at low prices in return for you? ”
As soon as Liu Xing's words came out, many people in the crowd of outsiders suddenly bowed their heads in guilt.
An elderly man pushed away the crowd at this time, squeezed in front of Liu Xing and said apologetically: "General Liu, please calm your anger, everyone is also thirsty." I am the Baozheng of the seventy-three families here, and I just called them but they didn't listen. But I hope that the general is thinking that everyone is new to the valley, and he can't help but be a little upset, so forgive everyone. ”
Still looking at the old man not far in front of him with a cold face, Liu Xing said in an even colder voice: "As soon as someone instigates you, you will fight with people who are kind to you, so in the future, will someone be more incitative, and you will still come to murder General Ben and other soldiers in the valley?" ”
"How dare that, how can that be possible." When the old man heard this, he lowered his head and turned around sharply, shouting at the crowd behind him: "You are still standing there, why don't you quickly step forward to apologize to the villagers and General Liu." ”
Many people in the crowd heard the old man's words, and they squeezed out of the crowd, bowed to the aboriginal crowd opposite, and apologized. When the rest of the people saw it, they also hurriedly nodded to the aborigines and made reparations.
Seeing them like this, Liu Xing's face softened slightly, and he said to the old man who claimed to be the elder: "You said it was Baozheng, right?" Well, take care of the people you should be in charge of in the future. Next time, it's all for General Ben to get out of the valley. Also, you will continue to do it for the time being, and report to Commander Su later. Well done, in the future, this general will be rewarded, and if there is a problem, I will hold you accountable first. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the old man knows, the old man knows, the old man promises to manage the people under his rule well, and never let them make trouble, please rest assured, general." After the old man nodded and finished speaking, his whole body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Seeing him like this, Liu Xing suddenly straightened up and said loudly: "They are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all my Han sons and daughters. In case of trouble, it should be discussed well, and whoever does something too urgent will definitely let him get out immediately. Who else was Lizheng and Baozheng, they all stood up for the master. ”
As soon as these words came out, seven or eight men of different ages walked out of the crowd timidly, cowardly, and trembling.
Glancing at these people, Liu Xing turned his head to Su Quan and said, "Later, let them go with you to make a register and report, and if there is a problem with any of the people in the middle and below in the future, ask them first." As for their treatment, the chief of the security guard will be given the treatment according to the head of the official team, and the chief of the security guard will be given the treatment according to the head of the general office. One hundred families and one mile, Li is being fed from the nine products. If there is no big security, hundreds of households will be held accountable if something happens. ”
Su Quan nodded in response, and Liu Xing continued: "Since these people are so energetic, they must also have the strength to work if they have the strength to fight." Well, starting tomorrow, I will give you the West Street Renovation Project to start executing immediately. Within three months, I will see the entire West Street become a forest of stone buildings. ”
Shocked when he heard this, Su Quan said: "General, only these people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete your Xijie case within three months!" ”
"Three thousand men of military service are rotated to work, every four hours, so that their strength can be used to the fullest. Whoever dares to be lazy will starve him for a meal. The second time he was lazy, he starved for a day. If there is a third, drive him out of the valley directly from the ** cave and never want to come back. Liu Xing quickly finished these words, and once again glanced coldly at the outsiders standing in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he then said in a loud voice: "Those who work hard, complete the basic work ahead of schedule, and exceed the work quota will be given a certain amount of cash reward in addition to the normal supply of their rations." In short, when you enter the Hunter Valley, you have to work together with me and the others. Whoever wants to play tricks and tricks will be kicked out immediately. Whether we live or die has nothing to do with us. ”
After listening to Liu Xing's words, the outsiders immediately exchanged their heads and whispered.
In the soft whispers of the outsiders, Liu Xing turned to look at the aborigines standing by the waterfall. After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "All the original residents must hand over a certain amount of wild things every day from today onwards. Outsiders use their physical strength to transform our valleys. Is there a problem with you, with your hunting bows, to make sure they have meat to eat every day? ”
Hearing Liu Xing's last question, there was also a whisper among the hunters. But soon, there were three or two voices in the Orion crowd, and then all of them shouted back together.
"Take a good look, these are the people of the Hunter Valley! This is worthy of being a person in the Hunter Valley. Seeing that the hunters agreed, Liu Xing glared at the outsiders again.
After standing still, Liu Xing carefully observed the West River. Soon, Liu Xing said to Su Quan again: "You go to the Haoqi Hall to find me later, the river water is allowed to be drawn by the soldiers and civilians in the valley at any time, even if it does not dry up, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no more chaos." It seems that the master should think of a way to let the people of the city live without coming to the river. ”
As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he flew up and flew in the direction of Haoqi Hall.
Su Quan looked at Liu Xing's back as he flew away, and said in a low voice, "How can you draw water without going to the river?" Could it be that the general can't think of any genius tricks......"
……
Half an hour later, when Su Quan returned to the Haoqi Hall with questions, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Liu Xing discussing something in a whisper with several carpenters and blacksmiths.
After seeing him walk in, Liu Xing smiled at the seven or eight blacksmiths and carpenters standing in front of him, and then said to Su Quan: "These craftsmen have already helped General Ben to determine, Su Quan, immediately transfer a hundred carpenters and a hundred blacksmiths from your craftsman camp." Starting tomorrow, I will set up two sedimentation tanks in the East River and the West River. ”
"Sedimentation tank? General, what is a sedimentation tank and what is it for? After Su Quan asked inexplicably, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Xing.
Smiling at him, Liu Xing said: "Now that the population in the valley has increased suddenly, let everyone take water at any time, today's farce will definitely be staged." Therefore, General Ben came up with a set of water drawing fortifications, which would allow residents to fetch water in front of their doors at regular times every day. The source of this fortification is to build two or more sedimentation tanks near the river that are sufficient to settle the river water, and then transfer it to the sedimentation tank in the valley. ”
"Drawing water?" Becoming more confused, Su Quan said: "General, what kind of fortifications do you have to do to get water?" Fortifications, you're not going to build walls, are you? ”
"The walls need to be built, but you can't think about it until everything is renovated and all the facilities in the city are ready. This water drawing project is not in line with the city wall project for the time being. ”
Liu Xing knew that he would not understand what he was talking about, because even the craftsmen around him only knew about their ideas and designs, and they were the only ones who really knew that they wanted to make a water supply system similar to that of tap water. Because he didn't know, Liu Xing didn't bother to explain more to him.
As he spoke, Liu Xing shook off the drawings that had just been drawn above his hand and the ink had not yet dried, and then said to Su Quan: "You just have to let the craftsmen build pools, build waterwheels, and cast iron tools according to this drawing." As long as this set of fortifications is built, not only will there be no more competition for water sources, but also every household will be able to experience the convenience of having water to manage itself, and there is no need to walk long distances to carry water. ”
"Water comes from its own pipes? Tap water, General, I don't understand it at all! ”
His eyebrows furrowed together, Su Quan said half a sentence with an ignorant expression, and then shook his head and said, "Cough, forget it, if you let me do it, I will take someone to do it." However, if 200 people are transferred, the production of your flying kite and flame bomb will be delayed. Don't ask me to get your tap water with the craftsmen and ask me to make the flying kites and flame bombs you want. I'm not a thousand-armed Kannon, and I don't have the ability to do multiple things at the same time. ”
Listening to his words and looking at his shape, Liu Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, is General Ben so unkind?" Just get me the tap water first, so that there will be less instability in the whole valley. As for the Flame Bomb and Flying Kite, it allows you to postpone the completion. ”
"The subordinates have thanked the general, and I will take them to build the tap water painted on your map." After Su Quan finished speaking, he beckoned to the craftsmen.
When the craftsmen followed Su Quan out of the Haoqi Hall, Liu Xing sat on the Taishi chair but snickered and thought: Hehe, the master has connected the whole valley with tap water, I believe it is another merit, right? The power of faith comes from merit. Those who cultivate the Tao focus on merit. As long as the master's merits are improved quickly, he is not afraid that he will not be able to recover his skills in the short term and have the ability to go out of the valley to cause some trouble for the golden dog.
