Chapter 52: Twin Peaks
(It's time to open the golden finger, but this book will not surpass the scientific and technological level of that era, and there is absolutely no product that surpasses the times!) )
Fan Yutong was lying on the car window, her pretty face was a little red from the cold, which made her originally plain pretty face look a little more colorful, she had been quietly listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, and only after listening to him did she ask: "Are you so sure that the Ming Dynasty will definitely die?" Or can you use your so-called rebels to overthrow the Ming Dynasty? And you're going to be able to make it? ”
Xiao Tianjian held the reins, looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter was full of a kind of pride, penetrating the cold air, spreading far away, rushing straight to the sky, shaking the snow on some nearby branches fell from the branches: "Heavenly Dao cycle, there are so many dynasties and countries in front, how many dynasties have lasted for three hundred years?" Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that it has been almost three hundred years now! And this body is already full of holes, and it can't hold it anymore! So I can conclude! The Ming Dynasty will die! And it won't be a few years away!
As for whether I, Xiao Tianjian, can succeed in winning the championship, to be honest, I don't dare to say that I can, after all, I have no eyes to kill the enemy in battle, and a nameless soldier may take my life. I always have to do something for this era, for these people! In this way, even if one day, I, Xiao, unfortunately die in front of the battle, I can be blinded under Jiuquan! ”
Listening to Xiao Tianjian's arrogant words, looking at his tall and majestic figure riding on a tall horse, Fan Yutong couldn't help but be a little stupid, and didn't speak again for a long time, Xiao Tianjian's words made her feel a shock, an inexplicable excitement, as if she was also a member of the Xingtianjun now, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
And those guards who followed Xiao Tianjian also turned their heads to look at Xiao Tianjian, and couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he always had to do a career, and now with Xiao Tianjian with them, they finally knew that in their lives, they may not be destined to be ordinary because of the existence of this person, even the iron head who is always cold and doesn't like to talk on weekdays suddenly followed Xiao Tianjian and roared loudly, and the rest of the guards pulled out their waist knives one by one, followed the iron head and roared into the sky, which made people's blood surge.
Fan Yutong lay on the side of the car window, looked at Xiao Tianjian blankly for a long time, Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at her, she realized that she was staring at Xiao Tianjian so much, it was very indecent, so her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly pulled down the thick car curtains, sat back in the car, and felt her heart suddenly beat faster, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, but she didn't lift the curtain again, and continued to talk to Xiao Tianjian, but held her cheeks with her hand in the car, and fell into thinking.
Since the Xingtianjun leveled all kinds of large and small poles in the south of the county, it has become much more peaceful, and Xiao Tianjian also sent his soldiers to form a patrol team to patrol the roads in the mountainous area of the south of the county, and strictly check the idle people who appeared on the road, so that the local area suddenly became peaceful, so they did not encounter any danger along the way, and soon arrived safely at Shuangfeng Village, which is not far from Dongye Town.
Hearing the news that Xiao Tianjian came to Shuangfeng Village, Zhang Chao, who was in charge of here, hurriedly took people out of the village to greet him, Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and smiled: "I can't use these vulgar etiquette to greet me, it's better to do more practical things if you have this time!" It's all free of courtesy, accompany me to go in and have a look, and talk while walking! ”
Zhang Chao saw that there was a carriage following Xiao Tianjian, and he didn't know who was sitting on it, so he asked Xiao Tianjian: "General, is there anyone else with you?" ”
Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at the carriage, Fan Yutong had already lowered the curtain, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it's a friend of ours who wants to come here to have a look, so I'll bring her over!" Hehe! Bring Miss Fan's car into the village first, and find a place to ask Miss Fan to rest! Let's go! Let's go in and have a look! ”
After Zhang Chao heard this, he was stunned, he also knew about Fan Yutong's meat ticket, why did he become a friend of Xingtianjun now? Could it be that his master deceived this little girl again? If yes, then ...... Alas! People are more popular than dead people! To be handsome is to have a woman's fate! Zhang Chao didn't think much about it, because he knew better than anyone who Xiao Tianjian was, for women's problems, Xiao Tianjian would never use force, even for this Miss Fan, Xiao Tianjian would never use force her to be his woman, this Xiao Tianjian's character was convincing to Xingtianjun, although it was a little strange, but Zhang Chao was inconvenient to ask anything, so he waved and asked people to bring the carriage into the village and arrange for a woman to take care of this Miss Fan first.
As soon as he entered the village, Xiao Tianjian felt a hot atmosphere, unlike the last time he came to Shuangfeng Village, the ruins of Shuangfeng Village that were burned by Feng Tiancheng had already been cleaned up at this time, and a lot of new buildings were built on the original ruins.
The buildings are simple and unpretentious, made from locally readily available materials, simple and functional, and the craftsmen have largely moved into the new houses, and the makeshift shacks have been demolished.
And now there are some buildings under construction, many craftsmen are busy in the rush to work, as soon as they see Xiao Tianjian, the big boss coming, so many people put down their work and took the initiative to come over to welcome Xiao Tianjian's arrival.
Xiao Tianjian greeted these familiar craftsmen with a smile, but he was still not good at all, and asked some people how the food and accommodation were here.
"Don't worry! General Zhang is kind to us craftsmen! Eat and drink, never owe us a little, don't the big guys work hard! An old craftsman who was familiar with Xiao Tianjian replied with a smile to Xiao Tianjian.
Different from ordinary places, there are really not many overseers here, including the soldiers and garrison generals here, most of them will help the craftsmen here when they are not practicing, and even some villagers near the mountain have got the benefits of the Xingtian Army, taking advantage of this winter to have nothing to do, I heard that there is work to do here in the Xingtian Army, although there is no salary to take, but you can manage two meals to eat, so there are also many people who came to the village to help the Xingtian Army, there is no shortage of manpower, and the work in the entire village is naturally progressing rapidly, This made Xiao Tianjian very pleased.
In fact, to be honest, the Xingtianjun can not give the craftsmen a lot of benefits, just to provide them with food, drink and clothing, and there is no salary to pay them at the moment, which can only start step by step after they have stabilized, but even so, the craftsmen are also full of energy, because they used to be hungry and scared, knowing that the current life is not easy for them, even if they can't get any wages for the time being, the big guys are willing to work hard to keep this way to eat.
In addition, the people of the Xingtian Army rarely beat and scolded them, the status of the big guys is very equal, and no one dictates to them, so when they start working, the big guys are in a good mood, and the work is naturally fast and good.
Seeing that these craftsmen and soldiers were doing a really good job, Xiao Tianjian was naturally very happy, so he said loudly in public: "I came here today to bring good news to the big guy!" That's the rule that was set before, starting this month, all the craftsmen here will be paid monthly according to the established rules, and in the future, when the big guys have money, they can also buy land here to build your own home! This time, I have already brought the first month's salary to the big guy, and then it will be distributed to you by Zhang Chao! ”
As soon as they heard Xiao Tianjian say the news, the craftsmen were naturally overjoyed, and immediately knelt down a large piece of hulala, kowtowed to Xiao Tianjian and thanked him, and even called Xiao Tianjian their benefactor.
Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said loudly to these craftsmen with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, as long as the big guy does a good job, my Xingtian Army will naturally not treat you badly!" Don't gather around here, don't do what you should do, these common gifts will be waived in the future, and doing more practical things is the right thing! ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately thanked Xiao Tianjian, and they got up and did whatever they wanted, as for the payment of wages this time, there were no complaints for the generals of the Xingtian Army, after all, they usually relied on going into battle to receive rewards, and as long as there was a battle, they would have a reward, compared to the craftsmen, their rewards were only a lot more, if they did a good job, a battle down, the reward they received, would be more than a few months or even half a year on the top of the craftsmen, so they have nothing to envy for the craftsmen to receive wages, This is also a way for Xiao Tianjian to keep his subordinates belligerent, with a fixed salary every month, which is not suitable for those who are soldiers in the Xingtian Army, that is, they have the heart to receive rewards by killing the enemy in battle, and the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army will be strong!
For the time being, the carpenters here are mainly concentrated in building houses, and some carpenters are assigned to build vehicles to supplement the army, and also repair some large carts that have been requisitioned locally or stolen from Xiao Butchers or Feng Tiancheng, so as to transport iron or coal produced in the iron furnaces around Dongye Town to Shuangfeng Village for use.
And Xiao Tianjian is most concerned about the progress of the blacksmith's work at the moment, at present, there are no less than 200 blacksmiths gathered under his hands, and the main work of these people is to provide weapons for the Xingtian Army, and at the same time, a large number of agricultural tools are also being built for the spring ploughing after the year, so the work of the blacksmith is related to the quality of the Xingtian Army's equipment and whether the spring ploughing can be carried out smoothly after the year, Xiao Tianjian will never dare to be negligent.
