Chapter 221 Benefiting the Country 1

A victory made Wang Xiu famous, at least let some people understand that the supervisor they once despised may have been wrong, people are really talented, and killing people is not ambiguous, I didn't see the twenty or so bloody woodland heads at the city gate, all relying on wealth or family power, forcibly going out of the city and attacking the officers and soldiers, and finally were decisively killed by the defenders. "Words * love * first * hair

Wang Xiu didn't seem to mind people's opinions, nor was he intoxicated by other people's praises, let alone what other people's thoughts were.

Soon, some iron-smelting workshops outside the city began to move key equipment to the city, and those that were relatively close to Liucheng across the river temporarily moved into Liucheng.

At the same time, the government issued regiments inside and outside the city to train Ding Zhuang, and under the leadership of veterans, they drilled and assigned the city to defend the royal area, but it gathered the strength of thousands of people. On top of that, Wang Xiu brought together the craftsmen in the city, concentrated on building armor and arrows, making light stone throwers, and hoarding stones, saltpeter, sulfur, etc.

I don't dare to say these war resources elsewhere, Li Guojian is ready-made, which treasury is not a warehouse, in the face of Wang Xiu's strength, and standing on the righteousness of resisting bandits, you dare not give it

Some workshop owners were very dissatisfied, thinking that the bandits had been repulsed, why didn't they let the production happen, and they didn't know how much they lost every day, not to mention, Wang Xiu asked them to provide resources, which were raw materials for iron smelting, and they were all money

"My lord, Wang Xiu has nothing to do, relying on the bandits to fight off the bandits and making trouble, my lord must not let him come nonsense."

"Yes, my lord Mingjian, if you don't go out of iron for a day, how many merchants will we lose are ordered, but there is a time limit, who will compensate us for our losses"

"My lord, Wang Xiu is arbitrary, if you don't ask, you will tell the head of the family and go to sue him for the royal warrant."

"That's it, pulling strong Ding all day long, even the little guys in my workshop have been incorporated into the group training, and they don't let people live."

"The officials and soldiers broke into my warehouse, collected all the sulfur and took it away, as well as those fine irons, adults, villains are the shopkeepers of the Han family, and they can't explain to the head of the family, and they ask the adults to call the shots, and they can't let Lord Wang mess around."

"Adult, villain is Kaifeng."

On the second day of Cai Gengdao's inspection of Liguo, these workshop owners and some wealthy merchants came to the door one after another, visiting and complaining in the post house where he stayed, and those workshop managers from the Tokyo clans even did not hesitate to speak harshly, nothing more than Wang Xiu stepped up preparations for war, let them move into the city, and requisitioned their craftsmen and requisitioned their resources.

The advantage is, they consider it from a business point of view, of course they don't want to, Wang Xiu already has a reputation for killing decisively, they don't dare to flirt with the tiger's whiskers, it just so happened that Cai Gengdao came, and they surrounded Lord Zhizhou to complain, making Cai Gengdao cry and laugh.

It is true that he is the Cai family and the governor, but in the face of so many intertwined interest classes, he has to deal with it carefully, for fear of offending the forces behind these people, and sometimes this official is also aggrieved.

"Wen Shi, the whole supervisor does not let the workshop produce, they have a list, if they miss the construction period, they will lose money. Besides, the requisition of other people's warehouses must also be tactful, once these people make trouble, it is not easy to be suppressed. "When Wang Xiu came to the post house, Cai Gengdao was pure and pure.

Also, there is the shadow of the Tokyo clan behind some workshops, so let them lose Isn't this offending those powerful people This force even Cai Jing, Wang Hao and others dare not offend lightly, let alone local officials.

Wang Xiu issued a harsh military order during the war, and he had already killed more than 20 people, it was really difficult to be caught by the Yushitai, and then he was stirred up by these businessmen, and if those big clans added fuel to the fire, even Zhao Ji had to make a gesture to remove Wang Xiu.

However, Wang Xiu smiled disappreciatively and said, "My lord, do you think Song Kou is willing to fail?"

Cai Gengdao was stunned, he was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very shrewd, he looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "It's unlikely, the bandits have suffered heavy losses for a while, but they have to deal with Lord Zeng in Yizhou, and I'm afraid they won't be able to attack Xuzhou." ”

Wang Xiu saw that Cai Gengdao had illusions, and it was also true that Song Jiang in history did directly enter the Huaiyang Army from Yizhou, but they must have broken the Li Guojian and obtained a large number of ordnance in order to take the Huaiyang Army, otherwise he would fight Huaiyang.

After thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "My lord, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Song Jiang and his party of thieves were chased by the imperial court, they were in tatters and could not capture the fortified city, if they want to hold on any longer, if they don't get the bronze and iron armor, they are looking for death." ”

Cai Gengdao's last psychological defense line collapsed in an instant, yes, there is no armor battle, what are you going to fight the war for many years, and the sports war has caused the group of bandits to suffer a lot of losses, and they urgently need the supplement of the armor battle, and the supervisor of the country has a good piece of fat, how can there be any reason to let it go. He didn't care about this, but with the Rangli State Prison under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, he happened to be Zhizhou, and Pengcheng had to be considered

Thinking of this, he was a little anxious, and said hastily: "It's really hard to say whether you will come or not, so if you come, how to deal with it"

Wang Xiuwan smiled, understanding that Cai Gengdao was worried about Peng Cheng's gains and losses, and he said wittily: "Don't worry, my lord, Song Jiang doesn't have much interest in Peng Cheng, and their goal is Li Guojian." ”

Cai Gengdao heard Wang Xiu's sarcasm, his old face was a little unbearable, and he said embarrassedly: "The guards of Liguo Prison should be strengthened, Wenshi has done a good job, there must be no kindness of women at this time, I will transfer some soldiers and horses from various counties." ”

"Food, Li Guojian needs a lot of food, it must be fast." Wang Xiu unceremoniously opened his mouth, but as soon as his words changed, he said: "Also, it is necessary to guard against spies, Song Jiang's group of bandits is not terrible, what is terrible is some traitors who are hungry for profit, they can sell the country for money." ”

Cai Gengdao's eyelids jumped, feeling that Wang Xiu had a purpose, he said cautiously: "How can you say this, is there an unscrupulous businessman in Liguo Prison?"

Wang Xiu smiled and said in a deep voice: "Unscrupulous merchants in the border areas of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of tenfold benefits, they can sell the military intelligence of the border army, and lead the robbery of one county and one county, there are many such people in all dynasties, is there no businessman who betrays the military intelligence and divides the spoils with bandits for profit?"

Cai Gengdao's face changed, and he said hatefully: "If someone dares to be a thief, I will slaughter his whole family." "It's going to be ruthless, and he doesn't let him get better, and he doesn't mind letting those people get better." Adults have this mind, and I admire it very much. Pity. "Wang Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, this old man is in the trap." Why, there is something unspeakable in the truth" Cai Gengdao looked at Wang Xiu suspiciously
