Chapter 3 Water Camp
"Such a talent, I Gao Cheng can't afford it!" Gao Cheng sneered, these shopkeepers seem to be quite powerful among ordinary people, but they are still domestic slaves in essence, they were originally slaves of the Mei family, and now the deed of sale is in the hands of the Gao family, even if they kill others, they will not say anything.
Gao Ying let out a low exclamation and hurriedly covered her mouth. And the few shopkeepers standing outside were already paralyzed with fright. Looking at Hu Fu, who died tragically not far away, sweat oozed from his forehead.
They didn't expect Gao Cheng to have not moved for two months, and today he came out and looked through the accounts, and he used his hot hand to kill Hu Fu, who had the highest status among them.
Gao Cheng was not interested in entanglement with these lowly shopkeepers, so he stood up directly and said: "Everything you have done, explain everything to Gao Ying clearly, this time I will go around you once, and if you want to deceive you in the future, Hu Fu will be your end!"
The originally limp bodies of several shopkeepers suddenly surged out of a surge of strength, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and shouted: "Thank you for the magnanimity of the head of the family, the villain will definitely work hard in the future!"
Gao Cheng waved his hand and killed a Hu Fu, at least he could let these people settle down for a while, this kind of method of killing chickens and monkeys, he was familiar with it.
He turned his head to Gao Ying and said: "Xiao Ying, now that our Gao family lacks talents, the only people who can make me trust are you and Uncle Gao, but Uncle Gao needs to sit in the water camp now, usually when I am in retreat and cultivating, you can help me look at these things outside, if these people still dare to deceive the superiors and subordinates, report to me directly!"
Gao Cheng's current subordinates include Gao Tai, Zhang Chen, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and a Lu Dai who has just taken refuge not long ago, these people are either fighting generals with outstanding military strength, or first-class generals who have not yet grown up.
There is not a single person in his hands who is proficient in the internal affairs of money and food. Gao Cheng can't help it at this time, and he can't be delayed by these mundane things every day, so he can only let Gao Ying supervise it temporarily.
"If Li Shanchang and Liu Ji can come here alone, I don't have to worry about these things at all!" Gao Cheng sighed secretly in his heart.
When he was in the Yitian World, he had Li Shanchang, Zhu Sheng, Liu Ji, Song Lian and other internal affairs talents and strategists, and there were many talents, and any of these people were the best talents in the Three Kingdoms World.
Basically, big and small things can be easily solved in these hands, and Gao Cheng's role is just to weigh the pros and cons in the opinions of several people.
The problem has been solved by his subordinates, and he only needs to make the final decision, which is like now, the audit that any small official can do, also needs him to personally ask.
Gao Ying's face was a little panicked, she was young, and most of the energy of managing some trivial matters in the house would be consumed, where would she figure out the matter of the shop and land outside?
However, listening to Childe's meaning, it is not to let her be in charge of these things, but to temporarily act as the eyes and ears when Childe has something, and to be able to report things in a timely manner.
Thinking of this, Gao Ying secretly sighed.
There are more than a dozen shops in 20,000 acres of fields, these things are not worth mentioning in the troubled times, Gao Cheng did not take these too seriously, at this time he was most concerned about the Huai'an sailors trained in the White Horse Lake Water Camp. I don't know what Gao Tai and Lu Dai have trained these people to.
After noon, Gao Cheng's longitudinal horse galloped towards the White Horse Lake in the south of Huai'an City. It didn't take long for a burst of misty water vapor to hit my face, which was very cool. Looking ahead, I saw the smoke and waves in the vastness. Small islands dot the vast surface of the lake, and the mist looks poetic.
White Horse Lake is connected to Hongze Lake, close to the Yangtze River and Huai River, it is an important place for north-south waterway transportation, and there are many large and small islands in the big lake.
In today's chaotic world, many fishermen who can't survive simply flee to these islands, and most of them become water bandits.
In the past, these water thieves were not strong, and they relied on the fish and shrimp in the White Horse Lake to barely survive, but not long ago, a group of super powerful water thieves occupied this important waterway, collected many water thieves, robbed the merchant ships of major families, and continued to grow in strength.
Now this gang of water thieves has seriously affected the interests of the major families in Guangling County. However, it takes a lot of effort to eradicate these water thieves.
The family of Guangling was unwilling to do such a laborious thing, so they secretly signaled that if someone in Huai'an County could exterminate the water thieves, they could recommend it to the Xuzhou Assassin History, and let the meritorious person serve as the county lieutenant of Huai'an City, and the position of county lieutenant is the best choice for the children of ordinary families to enter the office.
The Mei clan was very greedy for this position, so they did not hesitate to consume a large amount of money and food they had accumulated, but they also wanted to exterminate the water thieves in White Horse Lake, but unfortunately their plan was destroyed by Gao Cheng in one fell swoop before it began.
The water was rippling, and near the shore of White Horse Lake, there was a camp, in which hundreds of soldiers were practicing in full swing, and in front of the water camp were dozens of newly built ships. These boats are not too large, they are agile and maneuverable, and they are the most suitable warships for rivers and lakes.
There are also hundreds of soldiers on the warship training the shouters, two men standing on a high place, constantly raising the flag, and many warships below are constantly shuttling on the lake according to the command flag.
Gao Cheng saw very clearly that there were still a lot of jerky in the movement of these small boats, and occasionally two boats would collide, but the sailors on the ship had been trained to deal with ordinary water thieves!
Seeing this scene, Gao Cheng's heart welled up with joy. Gao Tai and Lu Dai really lived up to his expectations.
To lay a foundation in Guangling and Jiangnan, the navy is the top priority. Although the sailors trained by the two of them are not very good, as their experience increases, they will become elite sooner or later.
At this time, the soldiers who were training short-bladed fighting on the periphery of the camp saw Gao Cheng coming on horseback, and immediately poured out more than a dozen big men, launched a signal, and then came up and shouted angrily: "Who dares to come and peep at the important place of my navy? Stop me!"
Gao Tai and Lu Dai, who were directing training at a high place, heard the movement, turned their heads to look, and found Gao Cheng's figure, and hurriedly changed their expressions and hurriedly went down to greet them.
Among them, Gao Tai shouted: "Xu Ping, stop quickly!"
However, when Gao Tai shouted, a man named Xu Ping had already caught up with him, ready to pull Gao Cheng off his horse.
Gao Cheng smiled, he didn't care too much about this person, as soon as his mind moved, his spiritual power hooked a wisp of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.
Gao Tai and Lu Dai hurriedly came, bowed their heads, and said, "My subordinates meet my son!"
At this time, Gao Cheng was just an acting county lieutenant, and he had not yet obtained the official documents of the Han Dynasty, so the two were not commensurate with their official positions. Seeing the actions of the two bosses, the entire water camp suddenly knew that the young man in front of him was Gao Cheng, who had destroyed the Mei clan and killed the ninth-layer warrior with a sword.
