Back at the Zhaofu Division, Jiang Cai hurriedly walked towards the back office, there is no need to wear armor here. As soon as he walked into his room, he was stunned, and when he went out, he was not wrong.

"Who went in?" He beckoned to a servant who was sweeping in the courtyard and asked.

"If you go back to Zhenfu, it should be Huang Erniang, she said that she wants to help you clean your clothes, the little ones have seen it, and they did hold the clothes when they came out, but is there something wrong? Do you want the little one to call someone? ”

Hearing him say this, Jiang Cai came back to his senses, this little lady not only helped her wash her clothes, but also cleaned the room by the way, what else could he say? Waving his hand and telling the man to go back to work, he walked in again.

The house was cleaned very cleanly, and there were no more littered clothes, and even the smell seemed to be fresher, Jiang Cai shook his head, he was really a little unaccustomed. He took off his helmet and was about to throw it on the table, when he thought about it and hung it on the shelf in the doorway.

"Calm down, call Lao Shi back, is there something to do?"

As soon as he changed into his regular clothes and went out, he heard Shi Zhong's loud voice shouting all the way, Jiang Cai laughed dumbly, this thing is an urgent thing, and he can't be idle for a moment, if he doesn't just clear the cliff thief, he can't sit still.

"It's just in time, I'm here to ask you, how many thieves are still in prison?"

"More than 500 people, how many do you have to investigate, how can you deal with them? According to a certain person, this should have been done a long time ago, and grain and rice would be wasted in prison, and these thieves were more comfortable than in the mountains. ”

Jiang Cai's question made him stunned for a moment, and then he chattered and said, Jiang Cai didn't interrupt him, just looked at him with a smile and finished speaking.

"Finished? You guessed it right, they were going to deal with them, but they weren't killed, most of these people were also poor people, and they couldn't survive until they were thieves. You take someone to screen it, but all those who don't have any lives in their hands are counted, and they are incorporated into the army, and they are used as auxiliaries first, and remember to tattoo them. ”

"Why is this, they didn't take the initiative to recruit, they were all weapons that they put down when they were desperate, even if they didn't kill, they couldn't say that they entered the military as soon as they turned around."

Shi Zhong was a little speechless, he didn't think that it would be such a result, he was a tendon, and he couldn't turn this corner for a while.

"Forget it, like you said, it's a waste of grain and rice to lock them up, so why bother to catch them in the first place, it's impossible to release them all, just dispose of them like this. I'm going to recruit troops soon, and I only rely on the people, when will I be able to recruit enough? ”

"Recruitment, so the money and food have fallen? Could it be that Liu Taishou is here? As soon as he heard that he was going to recruit people, Shi Zhong immediately diverted his attention and didn't care about the thieves anymore.

"Well, in the state, don't call it 'too shou' when you meet, you have to call it 'to be systematic'." Jiang Cai reminded him by the way, although Liu Yu may not care, it is better to pay attention to some things.

Shi Zhong responded indifferently, Liu Yu is notoriously unscrupulous, and he is often neither big nor small with ordinary sergeants, of course, he also knows that Jiang is good intentions, and when he was about to ask how much military quota he gave this time, he saw Jiang Cai looking behind him, not knowing what he saw.

"Did you come back so quickly, did you see anyone?" Jiang Cai walked around him and walked forward, the person who came was his personal soldier, and he didn't look easy.

"If I go back to Zhenfu, when I waited, I only saw the housekeeper of his house, saying that his master had visited his relatives a few days ago, and he had not returned yet, and he couldn't be the master." The soldier shook his head.

Is this a "golden cicada shelling"? Jiang Cai scratched his head a little, the main man was not at home, even if he wanted to use some means, he couldn't use it, when he thought of boasting about Haikou in front of Liu Yu just now, wasn't that a slap in the face?

"What's wrong? Who is not at home. Shi Zhong looked at their appearance and couldn't help but interject and ask.

At this point, Jiang Cai didn't hide it from him, and said Liu Yu's request one by one, he had tried it once before, it seems that people are really unwilling to sell, and they are afraid that he, the newly appointed chief official, will make trouble, so he hides out.

"Liu Beizhi is only afraid that he won't stay long on this trip, if he can't solve it as much as possible, it will affect the recruitment and other matters, and the partial people are not at home, but how can it be good?"

"Did the man tell him where to go to his relatives?" After listening to this, Shi Zhong asked his own soldiers.

"I said that, I went to Leizhou, and said that I was their family's in-laws, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come back for a while." The soldier thought for a moment and replied.

Since he is not in the state, even if he sends someone to find it immediately, he may not be able to find it, Jiang Cai was a little speechless, he had never done such a thing, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

"Leave this matter to so-and-so, you don't care, what do you want to do, you let him follow so-and-so."

Shi Zhong pulled up the pro-soldier and threw it back, until they went out, Jiang didn't come back to his senses, anyway, he didn't have any good way, just let him try.

From Qiongshan County, there is also a Chengmai County in the middle, fortunately, this area was developed earlier, and there is barely a smooth road, but when Liu Yu jumped off the horse, it has been turned upside down, as if he got off the sea.

"This is Lingao?" He held on to the saddle and panted, and at a glance he was so desolate that there were no people, and the county town was low and dilapidated, which made him a little stunned when he was used to seeing tall city walls.

"Exactly, why don't we enter the city first, find an inn for you to rest first, and go down to look for Zeng Shilang?" The soldiers who accompanied him looked at him and raised a building with concern.

"You go to the city and ask, the official went to the beach and found a microphone contact."

The soldiers saluted him, rode a horse to the city gate, Liu Yu led the mount along the road slowly, this road forked to the county seat on one side, and the other end seemed to lead to the seaside, and he wanted to see it on the spot if there was nothing to do.

This area is different from the surrounding area of Qiongshan, the population is very sparse, and even the fields that are well cultivated are not rare, I don't know if it is for this reason, it has been repeatedly regarded as a destination for later generations, but in his vision, I really can't see any potential at all.

Walking up to a high ground, he found a natural harbor below, jutting out in a V-shape on either side. Inside the harbor, what appeared to be fishermen, some people were rowing around in small boats, and a few people stood on the shore pointing and pointing.

"The deepest part can reach more than two feet, but there are reefs underneath, and they have been looking for a long time, but they can't find a waterway to enter and exit, but it's a pity." A man with a local accent said regretfully.

"Isn't it okay here? Looking for a certain place, this is the most suitable place, and then go forward, even if there is a place, there is no one to drive, how can it be done. A middle-aged man looked anxious, and he could see that he had great hopes, but he didn't expect it to be empty.

Hearing this, Liu Yu had already guessed who he was, and his words were not difficult to understand, this is already the border of Qiongzhou, and then it is Yilun County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Changhua Army, and the population is only afraid that it is even smaller than here, and it is impossible to build a wharf from beginning to end without manpower.

"It's a certain Meng Lang, I only thought of the convenience of the terrain, but I didn't expect that there are few people on this island, and if you go elsewhere, people may not be willing to come, if this matter is not successful, what kind of face does Zeng have to return to Beijing to restore his life?"

His words made the people around him silent, Liu Yu led the horse and walked all the way to the seaside, it is really good here, the land on both sides forms a natural breakwater, as long as the forts are built on both sides, the gods will not be able to attack it, this is still the Song Dynasty.

"Wouldn't it be better to have the artisans dive in and chisel off those reefs?"

Zeng Wei, who was in disappointment, suddenly heard a voice on the side, thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he looked at the local just now.

"Don't talk nonsense, the reef down here is extremely hard, it's not an ordinary coral reef, don't say an iron chisel, even if the axe splits it, it won't move at all."

The local's mouth shattered his illusion, Zeng Wei looked at the person who interjected helplessly, and found that it was a young man, dressed as a literati, and that face had some impressions, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Who are you, and how are you here?" The locals were a little dissatisfied with Liu Yu's interjection, and when they heard that it was not a local accent, they were nervous, and they were holding a rare horse and asked.

"But Liu Ziqing?"

Before he could figure out how to answer, Liu Yu suddenly heard a voice revealing his identity, and that person was the one who wanted to find the main owner.

"Exactly, Your Excellency is a former servant?"

He sighed, acting so low-key, in such a remote place, he was still recognized. The ancients said well: "Mo Dao has no knowledge of his own friends in the future, and no one in the world knows you." "Ahh

"It was Zeng, on the hall that day, Brother Liu did not flinch in the face of impeachment, he had a unique style, he was in the court at that time, and he was fortunate to see it, so he remembered it deeply."

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder he had no impression, Liu Yu smiled awkwardly "hehe", and stepped forward to greet him again.

After taking a closer look, he found that Zeng Wei was not like the Great Song Wenchen in his impression, so he said that at this moment, he was wearing ordinary clothes, his shoes were in the water, his body was also stained everywhere, and his face was full of dust, but he didn't care.

"The waiter has worked hard, Liu has a question, I don't know if to say it?"

"Yes, but please speak up."

"Why don't you set up a division in Qiongshan?" Liu Yu is very strange, obviously there is a ready-made port there, which has always been a transit and supply place for the ships, and he has to go so far to find it again.

"A certain ship has measured it, if it is an ordinary port, if it is to be set up as the exclusive property of the city, it is far from big enough. You see, if it is suitable, there are thousands of ships in the harbor, and if there is a change, just seal the exit, and none of them will escape. ”

After doing it for a long time, Liu Yu looked at the trumpet-shaped harbor and imagined what it would be like to be full of boats there. Unexpectedly, this Zeng Wei is still an ideal middle-aged, and his mind is full of the idea of recasting mountains and rivers from scratch, which is quite suitable for his appetite.

"Since the waiter has taken a fancy to this place, this is the place, and Liu will find a way to do something else."

has seen people and got the information he wants, Liu Yu will no longer stay, he will rush back to Qiongshan.

"It's difficult, if the underwater reef is not removed, there will be no suitable waterway, and after such a big project, the manpower cost is unknown, and Zeng Mou still wants to go to the court to ask for punishment."

"How difficult it can be, if the stone can't be chiseled, then it will be blown up, and the workers are not a problem, a certain person said that a qiē package is on the body, and the waiter Lang is waiting for the news."

Zeng Wei still didn't understand why he was so enthusiastic, and Liu Yu didn't want to explain more to him, so after speaking, he got on his horse and rushed towards the county seat, where he would meet his own soldiers, and then rush back together.

"Squire, this official doesn't know what his position is? This Qiongzhou territory, where did he find so many people. The local still kept his mouth shut, and didn't say that he was arrogant.

"This man? He's got what he can do, so let's see. Zeng Wei glanced at him and said lightly. R1058
