Chapter 175: Bandits
This question made Lao Ma confused, after all, there are so many workers under him now. There are more than 100 professional and technical talents.
"What you're talking about are not very practical!" After taking the list and looking through it, he was even more puzzled and asked.
In his opinion, what kind of glass, what kind of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things have nothing to do with his own people at all! What use can it be if it cannot be eaten for food, nor can it be used for clothing?
It's not surprising that he has such an idea, it should have something to do with his origin. Not only him, but also most ordinary people, the things they come into contact with on weekdays will not be those elegant and gorgeous things, but generally related to their daily clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Just like the old horse used to strike iron, he is probably very familiar with the quality of the farm tool in his hand and whether it is good enough. But for those things that are not common, they basically don't care too much.
"These things don't seem practical to you, but if they are used well, they can bring us a lot of benefits! You shouldn't have placed these people now! Just right, gather them together and let him do his job. All you have to do is produce something, remember, once it's produced, bring it to me first. These things must be as beautiful as possible and as expensive as possible! Li Xin didn't explain so much to him, after all, after the future business was carried out, they would naturally understand the reason.
"Okay, I'll go back and get ready. But where are these workshops to be placed? Lao Ma didn't ask much, he was always convinced by Li Xin, and knew that he must have different ideas.
"Just put it in Chang'an City! Now the population in the city is not large, and it is just right to enrich Chang'an! There are some empty houses in the northeast corner, you can go there and pick some out and use them as workshops! Another thing is that these things are very important, so be sure to keep them secret and not let others find out what is true! Let's go down and arrange it! Li Xin thought for a while and explained.
"Yes, I'll do it!" The old horse answered, and then went out in a hurry.
After arranging a major event, Li Xin's heart couldn't help but relax a little. After all, if it can really succeed, this will be a big boost for Huashan Army.
"Tu Qi, let's go out for a walk!" Seeing that it was already afternoon, Li Xin called Tu Qi over and said.
The two then changed into ordinary clothes, dressed themselves as ordinary, as if they were small people in the market, and wandered around in this Chang'an City.
"After years of war, it really didn't come back all at once. If you look around, there seem to be a lot of people, but the market is very depressed, and there are not many things you can see! Li Xin didn't come out for a walk, but to better observe the situation in Chang'an. It's just that he hadn't walked far before his face became a little solemn.
"It's not a one-day problem, and it will take time to recover. The general has done enough, but it hasn't worked for the time being! Tu Qi said with relief on the side.
"Whether a place is good or not can be seen from the situation in this bazaar. The market is lively and diverse, which means that the people in this place are doing well. Otherwise, who has the kung fu to run to set up a stall, and who wants to take out the surplus and sell it! ”
Hearing this, Tu Qi didn't answer, because he couldn't answer either, he just felt that what Li Xin said was right.
"These mansions are empty! In the past, this place was occupied by Fu Qin's big officials, and there were many rich families who had run away, but now it is a pity that it is empty here! In this Chang'an City, there are the most people, but the place where they live is the smallest. Our Huashan Army now has more and more officials in Chang'an, and I think we have to find a way to formulate a charter, so that everyone can live and earn! "Coming out of the small town, there are those palace castles around it, which used to be the residence of the royal family and nobles, but now most of it is empty. Li Xin felt distressed when he saw it!
Since the establishment of the Huashan Army to the present, it is really less than two years, and most of the time is in the middle of fighting. Therefore, many rules and regulations have not had time to keep up, the most obvious one, such as the problem of Yulu.
Today's Huashan Army, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, basically eats a big pot of rice. There is a gang in the county government, and there is also cooking in the barracks.
This state, when there were few officials before, can still be used! But now that there are more people working under him, after the territory is bigger, it is not very appropriate!
Therefore, he decided to go back and make a good calculation with Wang Meng to formulate this set of regulations. In this way, it will be easy to handle it according to the rules in the future, and at the same time, it can also calm the hearts of everyone below, so that everyone can feel at ease in political affairs and save themselves the trouble of having three meals a day.
Tu Qi followed behind him, listening quietly without interjecting.
"Da da da ......!" As the two of them were wandering down the street, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly heard in the distance. Accompanied by the sound of reprimands.
Many people walking on the street avoided this sound after hearing it. It wasn't long before he saw a knight speeding down the street.
"What a man! He was willing to pay for his life when he galloped on this street and killed someone? Some people who couldn't avoid it and almost got hit couldn't help but curse at this time.
"Even if you don't look at what kind of place this is, is this a place where you can ride a horse and gallop?" The surrounding people echoed.
"Don't be angry, don't you see who that is? That's a soldier of the Huashan Army, you see the little flag behind him, this is the messenger of the Huashan Army. No one else can run wild on this street, they have no problem! If we can't dodge, we'll die in vain! When everyone was angry, someone said leisurely.
"Really, I just heard the man shouting something, saying something urgent, and I didn't hear it clearly. But if it's the Messenger, let's not provoke it! Maybe they really have some emergency military situation! Hearing this, some people also began to react and said.
When everyone heard this, what else did they say! People in this era are quite conscious, and since ancient times, it is a serious crime to block the transmission of military information. Everyone didn't want to give their lives in vain, so after saying a few words, they dispersed.
And Li Xin and the others, who originally wanted to have a good time, realized that something had happened when they saw the knight, and hurriedly rushed back to the central government office. Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the office, the official under him handed over an official letter.
The official document was sent by Wu Heng, the Taishou of Fufeng County, and it was an urgent official document. After Li Xin took it, he hurriedly glanced at it twice, and his face immediately darkened.
"Go, let Wang Changshi come to see me! In addition, let Hu Tian return to Chang'an quickly, I have a task for him! After reading it, Li Xin said to Tu Qi beside him.
As soon as Tu Qi saw his face, he knew that something bad was happening, so he immediately went out without saying a word.
Hu Tian is still training those people from all walks of life in the recruit camp, which is a bit far away. Once and again, even if you use a fast horse to inform you, it will take a day.
When Wang Meng got the news, he immediately rushed over, Li Xin didn't say anything, just showed him the official document.
"Are bandits so rampant today? How dare you even grab our food? After reading it, Wang Meng couldn't help but be surprised.
The official document said that dozens of truckloads of grain sent from Fufeng County to Wangxian County were robbed by bandits west of Yongxian County. Although the escort of 200 officers and soldiers resisted vigorously, these bandits were outnumbered, defeated the officers and soldiers, stole food, and fled into the mountains.
It is next to Longxian in later generations, and it is the westernmost county of Fufeng County. This place is close to the Longguan defense line, but no bandits dare to disturb it, after all, there is a Huashan army stationed there.
But if you want to go to Wangxian, you have to go northwest through Yongxian. And that's more than a hundred miles in between. The most important thing is that although this road is an official road, it has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and it is between Longshan and Qiaoshan Qishan.
This means that the road is not safe and very dangerous. Therefore, through this one place, two hundred soldiers and horses were specially sent to escort the grain. But what I didn't expect was that those bandits dared to come out to rob, and the two hundred soldiers and horses, including the people, were basically killed and wounded.
"Now there is a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and the same is true in other places, I don't know if those bandits went down to the mountains to steal grain because of this. But no matter what, since they dare to grab my head, I must not let them go! Li Xin shook his head and said coldly.
"Where did these bandits come from? I don't think I've heard of it before, huh? Wang Meng heard this, and couldn't help frowning.
"There have been bandits before, but there are not many of them, and they never dare to do anything to us. In the Naqi Mountain, the mountains are high and densely forested, which is a good place for stealth. In the past two years, there has been endless war in Guanzhong, and many people, as well as Fu Qin's defeated soldiers, have either fled outside the Guan, or have been living in the mountains everywhere! In the past, they didn't come to mess with us, and we didn't have time to deal with this problem, so we kept it on and gradually ignored it. ”
In this case, there should be other places that have this problem, especially those counties near mountains and rivers, which bear the brunt. If this group of bandits can't be eliminated quickly, I'm afraid that other places will follow suit, and then it won't be a good thing for us! Wang Meng nodded, and then reminded.
