Chapter 370: Strengthening the Perimeter

Looking at the faces full of ambition, Wu Tao was very sad and moved.

It was a group of honest people from the Zhuang family, but they were forced to go on the road of begging for a living, and once they had the opportunity to return to their former duties, they were eager to return, even if this return was just a hope.

But at the same time, Wu Tao also couldn't bear Mr. Li's approach in his heart, this is not bullying honest people, ah?

This Mr. Li can really fool this real person, where is there such a statement on the ground? Free-range livestock recycling, that is to be exchanged for food or daily necessities, where is the five-fifty account he said, this is Mr. Li is looting the cottage. If we follow Mr. Li's method, after a year, not only will the general village not need a penny of expenses and a grain of grain, but it will also be able to get a loyal peripheral cottage reinforcement, and there will also be a large amount of income. This is what King Chuang said, fooling the dead does not pay for their lives.

Just as he wanted to laugh, the kingdom forcibly withdrew the longing of the sky, and when he saw the stunned look of the military advisor, he thought that Wu Tao did not agree with such a harvest ratio, and hurriedly followed with fear; "Don't worry about the military advisor, don't worry about the military advisor, or you can hand over more to the general village." That look was full of anticipation.

Wu Tao saw that he had misunderstood, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said; "This is good, this is good, you can't break the rules of the king."

"Then thank you King Chuang, his old man." As he spoke, he gave up his hand to the military division again and again. There was a look of gratitude on his face.

Wu Tao laughed when he heard Wang Guoqiang's call for his old man. The laughing Wang Guoqiang was confused, and asked cautiously; "Am I saying something wrong? Please also ask the military advisor to forgive me. ”

"No, no, you didn't say anything wrong, but if you call him an old man in front of King Chuang, then you will definitely be kicked by Captain Chunlan of our women's army."

"Why is that?" Wang Guoqiang still asked with a blank face.

"Because, our old man seems to be in his early twenties this year, and Captain Li of the Women's Army is the fiancée of our military advisor and his old man, do you say you want to be kicked."

"What? We're only in our twenties? Wang Guoqiang stood up immediately, flipped over the chair behind him, and said with wide eyes and surprise;" Chuang Wang and his old man, ah no, Chuang Wang and he that, so young and so talented, have the mind of the dialogue between teachers and students at the city gate? That, that, then Mr. Li is really right, what else can you do if this is not the king of heaven? Hahaha, how can our Black Tiger Village not prosper under the leadership of King Chuang. At this time, he began to dance.

As soon as Wu Tao heard it, he knew that it was Mr. Li who used the city gate to talk to the Wang brothers, so that Wang Guoqiang was now smoothly attached.

In fact, Wu Tao also began to wonder if honesty was really a heavenly king, or how could he have such ambition and such ability and knowledge? Maybe the introduction of the Heavenly King will be more able to attract the hearts of the people and boost morale. Which of those mortal fetuses with the naked eye didn't have to take some heavenly possession or something before rebelling to deceive them into a momentary trend?

"But when you see King Chuang, you must not say anything about the reincarnation of the king in front of him, King Chuang is very displeased with this, King Chuang once said that there is no immortal emperor in this world, and we must rely on ourselves to live." Wu Tao solemnly educated Wang Guoqiang.

"Yes, yes, King Chuang's old man is right, if we want to live, we have to rely on ourselves, and it is better to believe in the sow to go up the tree if we rely on the emperor." Wang Guoqiang nodded in agreement; "But as long as we follow the words of King Chuang, the reincarnation of the Heavenly King, then we will definitely be able to do it."

Wu Tao also nodded; "What Brother Wang said is reasonable, we will be able to live well by relying on the leadership of King Chuang." As soon as the conversation turns, he is busy talking about business, or he may not be able to talk about somewhere, which is a common problem of holding meetings in the base area - off topic.

"Brother Wang, do you know the rules of our cottage?"

"I know, before Mr. Li left, he had already taught a few clever children in our cottage to sing the mountain rules of the three disciplines and eight points of attention, the military advisor can rest assured, this rule is good, I absolutely abide by it."

"Do you know what you do?"

"Mr. Li said, I want to cooperate with the guidance and training of the coaches and brothers sent by the cottage, and bring out a good army, once there are officers and soldiers bravely invade our base area, we will resist at all costs for two days and wait for the arrival of the army in the village."

As soon as Wu Tao heard this, he admired Mr. Li even more, and even thought of these, he was really talented.

"Then the military advisor said that my cottage can still join the general village?" The face was full of anxiety and expectation, after all, Mr. Li said that if he joins or not, he Mr. Li said that it doesn't count, and second, Wu Tao's military approval and King Chuang's consent will be successful.

"Of course you can, as long as the brothers work together and sincerely unite for the entire base area and the fathers and elders behind them, they will be the brothers of our Black Tiger Village."

When Wang Guoqiang heard this, he stood up solemnly and arched his hand; "A certain oath to the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth, a certain to the army has no two hearts, remember the oath of the king of Chuang to fight to the death for his parents behind him and not retreat, if this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed."

Wu Tao stood up; "Brothers work together to break the gold, let us use our lives and blood to follow King Chuang to create a world like what the military advisor said."

Wu Tao checked the number of people and young people in the Woniu Mountain cottage, sent people to hurry up to catch up with the king of Chuang who went out to report the situation here, and asked the base to send the craftsmen and brothers to the camp as soon as possible to guide the repair of terraces and the erection of waterwheels and other things, and left twenty spearmen to serve as the captain of this martial arts squad and lead everyone to train the soldiers, and then in front of Wang Guoqiang, who stretched his neck and was full of expectation, Wu Tao wrote him a long list, and asked him to send someone to Cao Jiaji to find the third uncle Chen Ce who was still there with the list, and receive the grain and grass he needed for the cottage for a year. And an additional 5,000 taels of silver were given to Wang Guoqiang Shanzhai to buy daily necessities such as salt and other daily necessities urgently needed by the cottage, and each person was given a zhang of cloth and appropriate cotton according to the number of people in the cottage.

Anyway, now that Cao Jiaji has seized a lot, it will give Chen Ce's third uncle a headache, so he will give his brother some winter clothes, and then ask King Chuang to allocate some ordnance to arm the kingdom and strengthen the cottage, so that they can improve their combat effectiveness as soon as possible and truly become a barrier to the base area centered on Cao Jiaji.

Looking at the tearful eyes of the Wang Guoqiang brothers holding the list, watching themselves walk out of the hall, the cottage fathers and elders who rushed to the wind, their faces were yellow and thin, they did not cover their clothes, they knelt willingly in the cold wind, and kept kneeling and kowtowing in the direction of the holy place in their hearts, the residence of King Chuang, and prayed with their most sincere hearts that King Chuang would live a long life, Wu Tao did not have a trace of the pleasure of charity, but a kind of sadness from his heart, endless sorrow.

This is just a thousand people that our brothers can help in the Ming Dynasty, and living under the iron curtain of the Ming Dynasty, there are hundreds of millions of people like this, and only their brothers under this dark and dreary world, and the kind and optimistic resourceful mind of the world's compassionate King Chuang, can take care of and lead them to live, I really hope that King Chuang can lead everyone to become strong quickly, let his thoughts and brilliance illuminate this Ming, so that more people can live and live better.

After arranging all this, he hurriedly ate a lunch that the kingdom had poured all his promises, and then rushed to the next cottage with his men and horses.

The same scene happened again in the next cottage, so that all the way past, there were six cottages attached to Luochuan all over the country, with a total of more than 30,000 people and 4,000 qualified soldiers.

Only one of them was unwilling to accept the adaptation of the Chuang Army, but he also promised that as long as the Chuang Army gave a certain amount of grain and grass funding, he would never loot the base area, and when the official army invaded the base area, he would try his best to help resist it, and Wu Tao called him a brother and sister.

In this way, Wu Tao walked for a full seventeen days on the periphery of the base area with the shrinking team (leaving twenty or thirty squad leaders for each attached cottage) before rushing back to Caojiaji.

After settling the troops, Wu Tao hurried to the original Cao family's old house, and when he entered the luxurious Cao family hall, he saw Mr. Li sitting in front of the third uncle from a distance, and Chen Ce was talking to a few clerks with his head down.

Seeing Wu Tao coming in, Mr. Li and Chen Che hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after Wu Tao returned the salute to the two brothers, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute the third uncle Chen Ce, who was sitting with a smile.

Chen Ce, who was busy and anxious, just smiled and nodded, and buried himself in Lao Gao's case again, arguing with a few documents from time to time, and had no chance to greet Wu Tao at all.

The third uncle pulled a chair for Wu Tao, and then said with a smile; "Come back, it's hard to be a military master for Wu in the past half a month, but you have become a fortune boy along the way, and you have also been a good person."

"The third uncle said that he was laughing, it's not that Mr. Li is playing well in front of the station, I'm just walking all the way and drinking all the way, and being a favor." turned to Mr. Li and saluted again, and said sincerely; "Sir, it is really condescending to assist me, I will immediately write to the commander of King Chuang, and I will definitely arrange for Mr. to give full play to your talents."

Mr. Li is Chen Ce's assistant, but Chen Ce manages the entire base area, and the newly occupied Luochuan can only rely on Wu Tao, but Wu Tao is mainly military affairs, so after seeking Lu Shi's consent, Chen Ce put Mr. Li in Luochuan and partnered with Wu Tao, one military, one civilian, so that Chen Ce will be busy with the base again after he is busy with this period.

Mr. Li looked at Wu Tao carefully, and saw that Wu Tao was not a fake, so he laughed happily at the moment; "Wu Junshi is wrong, I am smart, I can't get on the stage, or I won't go to Yan'an to be willing to be an informant, these actions are just to carry forward the omission of the military division, and I have done my best for the development of the cottage, besides, I am now the largest gentleman landlord within a hundred miles of Luochuan, it is really full of Huatang, herds of cattle and sheep, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and more than 100,000 tenants, how can I still be the king of the mountain who violates the imperial court with you? Hahaha. ”

Everyone laughed together, and now, nominally, this Mr. Li is the most responsible gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

"But it's a pity." Everyone looked at him suspiciously,

"It's a pity that I'm really out of money, even if I drink a bowl of good tea and decorate the façade, I have to be approved by the third uncle."

The third uncle scolded with a smile; "You poor boy, I just brought some of the Cao family's good tea to my godson, where did I mean you? Also, tsk, seeing that you will live in this palace-like place in the future, and my kid is still suffering in that broken tile kiln, I am unwilling, let's say okay, I will not demolish this hall, but your meal must not exceed one dish, and the rice must not exceed two bowls, and the wine will not be heard? There is also the furniture in this hall, I have to check it regularly, once there is a lack of furniture for you to take to exchange for wine, you will have to compensate. ”

"God, didn't the third uncle want me to live here to prevent thieves, then I can ask God to worship Buddha and beg thieves not to patronize here, once I patronize, then I don't want to lose my family?"

"It's a must."

"Okay, then I'll take care of the third uncle's house, but you can add another dish to the little nephew. If I don't look at the gold and silver all over the ground and eat chaff and vegetables, won't I die unjustly? Everyone burst into laughter. Really, how funny is it for a rich gentleman who looks like millions to eat chaff in a palace-like mansion? What kind of ordeal it was, it makes people happy just thinking about it.
