Chapter 305: Surprised
Chapter 306
It is said not to leak the news, but there is no impermeable wall in the world. Relying on thousands of farmers to keep secrets is almost equivalent to, so one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, this family's brother-in-law, that family's neighbor...... Originally, everyone avoided working for the bandits, but with the experience of the last time, they were given more money and the treatment was good, and the croppers were willing to earn some money to supplement their families while the farm was slack.
In every village and town, they were coaxed by their wives to intercede with the local foreman. For example, Zhao Sanzhuang and these people are relatively thin-skinned, even if there were some contradictions in the past, they couldn't wipe their faces and refuse when they came to the door.
So, on this day, Liu Bei looked at the number of people who rushed to Toad Village, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The black pressure was overwhelming, and when the number of people was counted, there were more than 3,000 people.
For workmanship, the more people the better, but more people means more consumption. Wages are not too much of a problem, even if it is a tael of silver per person, the money is not much. The key is the daily ration, let people work, never let people have enough to eat, three thousand strong laborers together to open the cheeks, but a huge consumption.
Of course, people can't be driven out when they come, Liu Bei began to register these people, and divided labor according to their different abilities. Commanding 3,000 people to work is not a simple task, so Li Xingzai cooperates with him, and Li Xingzai is considered educated among these bandits.
Among these 3,000 people, there is no shortage of people who fish in troubled waters, and Liu Bei kicked them out directly.
"What are you doing, what are you doing, such people are also here to join in the fun. Liu Bei brought out a skinny lazy man: "We talk about rules, and we really don't treat us as bad people." ”
Hundreds of people were kicked out, all trying to make up for it. When these people gathered together, they were about to be driven away, and some people were so angry that they couldn't help but say outloud: "You work for the bandits, let's go and report to the officials, and no one of you can do it!"
The workers were so frightened that these people were just taking advantage of the slack to earn extra money, but if the matter got out, colluding with the bandits would be a serious crime.
"Who said that?" Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, and the murderous intent leaked: "Tell me who said it?"
Yaqi was silent, and the group closed their mouths in amusement. The faint smell of blood around, the evil aura in everyone's eyes, the blood droplets on the leaves that have not been washed away by the rain, and the white bones that you occasionally step on when you walk by...... All this reminds them that these people are not good gentlemen, they are all thieves who kill people without blinking, and now they are in a den of thieves.
"Since you don't want to go, don't go. Liu Bei sneered.
The crowd hula-la-la-fell to their knees, pleading and pleading.
"Grandpa Wang, we are just talking nonsense for a while, please, don't kill us. ”
"Write down everyone's name and ask where they live and who they are. Liu Bei's ruthlessness is even better than Cheng Dalei: "These people will stay in the cottage for the time being, and leave the hardest and most tiring work to them." ”
Among the 3,000 people, it is inevitable that there will be cheaters and tricks, and this is also an inevitable thing. Regarding this problem, Liu Bei divided them into villages and towns, one person was lazy, and the whole group deducted wages.
With the bonus of Building Mastery, this is not too much of a problem, and once the project starts, the progress is fast.
The key issue is the various consumption after the start of the project. Every day, people eat horses and chew, which is not a small amount, and the big wood needed to build a cottage is not available on the mountain and stone islands, so it can only be purchased from other places and transported over, which also requires money.
As a result, the opening of trade routes became an urgent matter.
Cheng Dalei is personally responsible for this matter, and the medicinal materials, salt, and tea that Cheng Dalei needs have been sent over. The purpose of this time was only to open up the market, so Cheng Dalei only brought twenty loads of goods, and this batch of goods was sent to Luoyuzhai first, and then from Luoyuzhai to the customs.
Cheng Dalei personally escorted them, Yun Zhonglong, Qiao He, and You Jiulou, and Cheng Dalei did not let them go. Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope, the first time to cooperate, in case the other party has two hearts, directly tied together, through contact to eliminate the barrier, slowly build trust.
And the main escort task is in charge of Qin Man's barbarian team, and the number of people does not need to be too much, only fifty people are enough.
But there is a problem that is not a problem in this matter, you must pass through Luoyuzhai to get out of the customs, Luoyuzhai has a kind of pony, hard-working, suitable for walking mountain roads, so Luoyuzhai is an important transit point. But after passing through Luoyu Village, Cheng Dalei had to see Fan Lihua.
To tell the truth, the hotness and enthusiasm of the grassland girl made Cheng Dalei a little unsure of how to deal with it.
Faced with this problem that is not a problem, Cheng Dalei thought of an idea that was not an idea.
He asked others to take care of the goods and load them, and he waited outside, so that he didn't have to see Fan Lihua.
Cheng Dalei lay on the lawn with his hands on his pillow, looking at the white clouds above his head in a daze.
Now Cheng Dalei already has a lot of admirers, and outside, his reputation is even more incredible. But few people know that the real him is nothing more than a boring and occasionally bad person.
The world is very quiet, there is no ubiquitous surveillance, there is no ubiquitous network signal, you can spend a month waiting for a person's letter, or you can spend an afternoon staring at a white cloud in a daze.
In the same way, the world is full of hunger, plague, displacement, and bullying......
I don't know how long he lay down, Cheng Dalei was already a little sleepy, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. Only then did he stand on the grassy slope and look over, only to see Qin Man, Yun Zhonglong and a group of people driving short horses to carry the goods.
"Big boss, big boss...... Qin Man and his gang came around: "Everything is ready, we can leave at any time." ”
"Hmm. Cheng Dalei nodded, he didn't see Fan Lihua, he didn't know whether to be proud or frustrated, and said casually: "I asked you to find a guide to guide the way, have you found it?"
"Of course I found it, this is a good guide, do you want to guess who it is?" Qin Man.
"Who else could ......"
Cheng Dalei looked over and saw a person walking out of the team, a rouge horse, an embroidered velvet knife, and a cloak covering his face. The eyes are like frost, and the eyebrows are murderous.
Cheng Dalei trembled, it wasn't that he didn't want to see Fan Lihua, the key was that Cheng Dalei couldn't beat her. This girl is tiger and two, if she starts a rush, but regardless of it, catching Cheng Dalei is a fat beating, and Cheng Da is not in charge.
"It's the master of Fan Zhai, the master of Fan Zhai grew up here, and the surrounding terrain is very familiar, you didn't expect it, right?" Qin Man laughed: "Surprised, surprised?"
