Li Hugo smiled: "You can go to your sister, but I will let the emperor of thieves ...... when you are doing business."

As he spoke, Li Hugo took out two eggs, and with a smile on his face, he crushed the two eggs, leaving the yolk and egg whites on the ground.

Niu Er sweated like rain, and he smiled and said, "Brother, I'm joking...... Why can't you stand up to a joke?"

"One month, build the wharf!" Of course, in the future, you will have thirty percent of the profit from the wharf, and the remaining seventy percent will be given to Nalan City!" Li Hugo glanced at him.

Niu Er naturally nodded and didn't dare to disobey.

When he finished explaining the dock, Li Hugo said to Chen Laogen, the leader of the horse thieves: "Your horse team will belong to Nalan City in the future, and when the time comes, you can let your original horse thief's family members move to Nalan City to live, of course...... You are protected by Nalan City, and you must also abide by the rules of Nalan City, and from now on you will be the captain of the cavalry battalion of the Nalan City Guard, specializing in protecting the ranks of passing merchants. ”

"Can our family join Nalan City?" Chen Laogen was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears.

You must know that people who do not have a household registration are called homeless, these homeless people are not protected by the local government, and they will suffer the threat of thieves and rogues all the year round, and they will suffer the fate of being slaughtered, but even if the whole village is slaughtered, no one will collect the corpses for them in the end, let alone seek justice, so he led a group of middle-aged men to form a horse team.

It's different in Nalan City, just take the fact that he's a horse thief.

Although he is a horse thief, he never dares to get along with the people in Nalan City, because once he intrudes on the people of Nalan City, in that case, the city guards will come to the door, so in Nalan City, there are not only towering city walls to protect it, but also a large number of city guards to protect it, for the displaced people outside the city, the homeless people and residents are simply a paradise and a hell.

Li Hugo said: "Yes, but although there is a lot of open space in the city now, but the houses have not been built, you have to build these houses yourself, this is 30,000 taels of silver, as your settling-in allowance, and the horse team can receive two taels of silver every month." ”

Li Hugo walked back and forth, he paused and said: "Also, you have to take care of the affairs of the post station, this is a big cake, on the one hand, it is to protect the safety of past business travelers, on the other hand, you can also receive some tea fees, horse care fees, and accommodation fees, our Nalan City land is barren, so there is no advantage in agriculture, but our natural advantage is that our place is on the business road!"

"Okay! The eldest brother abandoned his previous suspicions, and actually took in us who committed the most heinous crimes to become the cavalry of Nalan City...... It's your horse master!" Chen Laogen burst into tears.

He didn't feel at home, he had already tasted it, he was a coward at the beginning, because he was a homeless outsider, and he watched the robbers kill his parents, and now that he has a home, he is naturally very excited.

"Now it's not called Master Concubine, now my brother is the captain of Nalan City!" said the Emperor of Thieves laughed.

"Haha, meet the captain!" a large group of heroes clenched their fists.

At this time, Ma Daha cowered and came over: "Big brother, now that their two grandsons have jobs, I can't eat dry food in the city...... Find me some strength to do the work, too. ”

Since he came into contact with Li Hugo, Ma Daha has seen what it means to be a benevolent person, a person like Li Hugo is strong in cultivation, but he has no official pretensions, especially to be able to fight with all the brothers, and he is also very happy in his heart.

Becoming a resident of the city is also something that Madahar dreams of.

If it weren't for the lack of food and water to drink, who would want to go into the mountains and be a thief?

"You're in for a tough task. Li Hugo patted Ma Daha's shoulder and said, "You have seen the offensive and defensive battles in the city before, ......"

"That's right......" A person walked over in the distance, and it was Nalan Meng.

Nalan Meng said: "Although the city gate has been repaired, according to the current degree of decay of this wood, as long as a master at the level of a great martial artist, he can easily open the city gate, just imagine...... If a group of thieves suddenly appeared in the middle of the night on the third watch, they would enter the city, and the people would be sleeping, and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"You're here?" said Li Hugo smiled.

Nalan Meng nodded towards Li Hugo: "I'm also curious, how you will place them, but now it seems that your ability to use people is really beyond my expectations......"

Ma Daha said: "My three mothers-in-law have now moved to live in the city, if there are really thieves who enter the city by night, won't my wife and children be in danger?"

"That's right!" Li Hugo said, "What you have to do now is more difficult than Niu Er and Chen Laogen's, that is...... Repair the city walls, as well as the city gates. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Daha's face became solemn, after all, this is not a good errand.

Li Hugo was prepared, he whistled, and sure enough, a carriage came: "You see, this is concrete, mix these cements with sand and gravel, and then stack the stones on top of them, and when it solidifies, this city wall is extremely strong!"

He gestured and explained for a long time, and everyone knew that Nalan Meng was also surprised: "Don't say that these things are all technologies from the Western Regions. ”

Li Hugo laughed, and said in his heart that paper can't keep the fire, so he said: "This is the technique of alchemists, you know, I have a good relationship with Ximen Lang of the True Yuan Sect, and I have discussed a lot of things with him, if this thing is placed on the city wall, the solidity of the city wall can be seen!"

"I see. Nalan suddenly realized.

Li Hugo's heart is dripping blood, these cements are not cheap, they cost 100,000 silver, fortunately, the most important thing near Nalan City is stones, so this has reduced a lot of costs.

But in this way, the funds of the City Lord's Mansion are insufficient, so it will take time to accumulate to completely change Nalan City.

As for the Emperor of Thieves, he and his wife continued to train soldiers, both of them are cultivators, and their skills are not weak, as the so-called husband and wife match, they are not tired of work, so the cooperation of the two of them will inevitably improve the overall level of the city guards.

Li Hugo looked into the distance, and found that at this time, the rice fields outside had begun to grow, these farmlands were specially transported back by Li Hugo from the Spirit Snake Mountain, the soil of the Spirit Snake Mountain is fertile, suitable for farming, of course, it takes a lot of time to transport back and forth, so it is impossible to reclaim too much farmland for the time being.

Farming is also contracted, that is, a family has a fixed field, and then one-third of the harvest is handed over to the city lord's mansion, and the remaining two-thirds can be used for their own food, so that the common people have work to do, life is not boring, and they also do their best to farm.

Li Hugo's reform also impressed Nalan Meng, she didn't expect that Li Hugo was so capable, and unconsciously, she already had a little pride in her heart.

"What are you going to do with those rebellious city guards before?" asked Nalan Meng.

At this time, everyone else had already gone to busy their own affairs, and Nalan Meng and Li Hugo were walking at the city gate.

Li Hugo put his hands behind his back, and he said: "Huairou, you order, if you don't want to stay in Nalan City, then everyone will pay three taels of silver severance pay and send them out of the city, if they are willing to stay in Nalan City, then give them the household registration of Nalan City, and then continue to be the city guard ......"

"They had to follow Li Yutang before, this is ......" Nalan dreamed of Li Yutang, and there was still a faint hatred in his heart.

Li Hugo said with a smile: "The leaders of the thieves are Li Yutang and Zhang Wei, now both of them have been explained, and the people under them are innocent, they are just faithfully fulfilling the tasks of their bosses, and Nalan City is the time to employ people, and now all the waste is waiting to be rebuilt, the roads in the city have not been paved, the living river in the city has not been reclaimed, the repair of the houses has not been carried out, and there is our city lord's mansion...... There must be a capital, and now it's just a few straw huts put together. ”

Nalan Meng paused, her brows tightened, she pursed her mouth, and said slowly: "Why do you want to do this......"

"Don't you want to prove your talent to the Third Prince, as long as we repair Nalan City, we can prove to him that you are no worse than your sisters...... Of course, in my eyes, you are the best. Li Hugo said.

Nalan Meng's eyes flashed, she looked at Li Hugo, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly like a crescent moon: "Thank you......"
