"Hurry up and deal with it, this snake is very venomous!"

Yu Xinyi's face was anxious. At his feet was a poisonous snake with a beaten neck, multicolored, it should be a poisonous snake, the body of the poisonous snake was still writhing, wrapping around the ankle of the heart.

Liu Wuzi's right palm was spread out, there were blood stains on the back of his palm, and there were two clear rows of small tooth marks on his forearm, and blood oozed from the tooth marks, and the blood was black.

"Changshang, it's okay, don't worry!" Liu Wuzi's face was as usual, and he said with a smile.

"Fart, bitten by a poisonous snake, nine deaths, and said it's okay, don't move!" Yu Xinzhi shouted loudly.

"Don't move, I'll take care of it! Bring a knife! ”

Zhang Song said as he lowered Liu Wuzi's arm, instead of holding it high, let Yu Xinzhi's two hands firmly hold the wound near the heart, then took the knife handed over, drew a cross on the wound, and then squeezed the wound hard, letting the blood flow out.

As soon as the blood was squeezed out, it was washed down by the rain and fell into a small puddle on the ground, and in a short time, all the tadpoles in the puddle turned white.

The onlookers exclaimed, surprised by the venom of the snake.

Zhang Song didn't dare to relax, and squeezed the wound harder, until all the blood flowing out of the wound turned bright red, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Endure the pain! I'm going to cut off the skin from the snake's bite! Zhang Song instructed

"Even if you cut it, this pain is nothing."

Zhang Song nodded, carefully cut off the skin of the poisonous snake's tooth mark with a knife, still not at ease, and squeezed the wound again, seeing that all the blood flowed out was bright red, so he gave up.

"It shouldn't be too big of a problem, but there should be some residual poison, and I have to deal with it with medicine when I go back." That's the end of today's training, two people came and carried Liu Wuzi back with a wooden plank. ”

Yu Xinzhi immediately asked people to carry two wooden planks over and carried Liu Wuzi to his home, preparing to ask Xizi to give him some medicine.

When Zhang Song returned home, he saw Song Pei with a sad face. Song Pei saw Zhang Song and pleaded guilty.

"What's wrong? Can't recruit people? ”

Although the construction of the iron-smelting field was helped by the villagers of the three villages outside the valley, once the iron-smelting field was completed, more manpower was needed to carry out production at full capacity.

"A certain incompetence, no one has been recruited, and the lord is still punished."

"Then tell me, why can't you recruit people?"

"In addition to the several reasons mentioned before, there is another reason that is......" Song Pei hesitated, "There is another reason that I personally think is that the name is not right, we are recruiting long-term personnel, not short-term workers, others can't believe it." ”

Zhang Song had a headache, he had been busy dealing with Zhou Mingshu's rebellion these days, and he couldn't find time to think about the banner of Qingsong Valley, and this banner was not so easy to fight.

If it is too flamboyant and independent, it will definitely be attacked by the government. With regard to political organizations that have flown their banners, all dynasties have spared no effort to crack down. With the current strength of Qingsong Valley, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand even a single blow.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Song still felt that it would not be too late to establish his own banner when he was strong enough. It's just that, in this way, recruiting people is a big problem.

"Why haven't you heard that the thieves in Liangzhou are short of manpower?" Zhang Song muttered to himself.

"As far as I know, the main members of the thieves in Liangzhou are all people from their own tribe or clan, plus their relatives have taken refuge, so it is naturally enough to recruit people."

"Thieves in Liangzhou?" Zhang Song's heart moved, "I have a way, bring the map." ”

Song Pei hurriedly spread out the sheepskin map, which was a very brief map, but the general trend of counties, mountains and rivers could be distinguished. However, there is a big difference between this ancient map and the modern map, and Zhang Song saw the ancient map for the first time, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Song's embarrassment, Song Pei began to explain the map to Zhang Song.

"Lord, please see, this is Liangzhou, Liangzhou is located in Wuwei County, the north is the land where Xianbei and the Xiongnu are mixed, the west is connected to the Western Regions, the southwest is the Qiang people's residence, the southeast is connected to Qinzhou and Yongzhou, and the northeast is the Qianghu border."

From the analysis of the map, if you want Liangzhou to develop, the Western Regions must be well managed, although the Western Regions were not good in Zhang Song's previous life, but in the Western Jin Dynasty, which was dominated by land trade, it was very rich. Therefore, if you want to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, it is an indispensable step to pass through the Western Regions.

The Xianbei and Xiongnu in the north are the roadblocks that must be crossed through the Western Regions, and if they are properly managed in the future, the Western Regions will become rich, and they will definitely provoke Xianbei and the Xiongnu to make up their minds.

As for the Qiang people in the southwest, there is no need to care about it, in Zhang Song's impression, there is no record of their deeds in the history books, presumably they are still in a primitive society, not to be troubled.

Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the cornerstones of development to the east, with these two states as a foothold, there are more places to attack in the southeast, including Liangzhou, Yizhou, Sizhou, Jingzhou, and even the Central Plains.

Zhang Song was in reverie for a while, and it took a while to reluctantly retract his thoughts, and it was too far to consider this issue at this time.

"Needless to say, let's talk about the situation in Liangzhou first."

"Okay, lord, there are eight counties in Liangzhou, thirty-six counties, and the eight counties are Jincheng, Xiping, Wuwei, Zhangye, Xijun, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Xihai, Jincheng County, ......"

"Song Jun, let's talk about Zhangye's situation."

It's all the fault that the strength is too weak, and now Liangzhou can't think about it, Zhang Song is quite helpless in his heart.

Song Pei was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything, but followed Zhang Song's instructions and began to introduce the situation in Zhangye County.

"Zhangye County has three counties, namely Yongping, Linze, and Wulan, with 3,700 households."

"There are only 3,700 households in Zhangye County?" Zhang Songhu asked suspiciously.

"That's true, my lord."

"Is the population of Zhangye County much in Liangzhou?"

"It's not much, the most populous in Liangzhou is Dunhuang with more than 6,000 households, followed by Wuwei."

Zhang Song was silent, in this era, the population is an important indicator of strength, if the population is too small, it will not be able to support Zhang Song's ambition at all.

"What about the thieves in Yongping County?"

Zhang Song once again narrowed down his goal, he smiled bitterly in his heart, no matter how he looked at himself, he looked like a thief in Gou'an. However, he comforted himself in his heart that to do big things is to think big and start small.

"In recent years, affected by the Xiongnu and Xianbei rebellion, Yongping County is also a swarm of thieves, the most powerful is the flying dragon thief, in addition, the larger force is the Huayang thief, the new land thief, the West Cave thief, etc., as for the smaller force, it is more."

"What about the weaponry of these thieves? Compared with our Green Pine Valley, how is the strength? ”

"It is reported that most of the weapons of these thieves are wooden sticks, only a small amount of iron, and their strength should be much worse than our Qingsong Valley."

When Zhang Song heard this, he laughed loudly and said a few "yes" in a row.

"My lord, this is ......" Song Pei had a guess in his heart, but he was not very sure.

"Song Jun, there is no need to recruit people in the future, I have already found manpower!"

"Someone has been found? Where is it? Liu Yongsheng and Yu Xinzhi just entered the house and asked happily.

Zhang Song pointed to the map on several cases with his finger and said with a smile: "Oh, it's right here!" ”

Yu Xinzhi picked up the map with his hand and looked at it a few times, and finally asked suspiciously, "Where is it?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"The lord is not wrong, it is indeed on it." Song Pei also said with a smile.

"Oh, you two don't play dumb riddles, tell me, where the hell is it?"

Yu Xinzhi grasped the map in his hand and asked with hope in his eyes. Liu Yongsheng also looked at Zhang Song and Song with an expectant expression.

"Yu Jun knows what is abundant in Liangzhou now?" Song Pei asked with a smile.

"Thief, everyone knows this, what are you asking for?"

Song Pei stroked his beard with his right hand and did not speak, but looked at Yu Xinzhi and Liu Yongsheng with a smile.

Yu Xinzhi was a little inexplicable, he looked at Zhang Song for a while, and Song Pei for a while. Liu Yongsheng lowered his head in contemplation.

Or, Liu Yongsheng raised his head and said, "Could it be that Zhang Jun and Song Jun are going to fight the thief's idea?" ”

Zhang Song and Song Pei looked at each other and smiled, and nodded slightly.

"The idea of fighting thieves?" Yu Xinzhi thought about it for a while, and in a blink of an eye, he understood, "You two want to recruit thieves to Qingsong Valley!" ”

"It's not to recruit thieves to Qingsong Valley, but to destroy these thieves and capture them to Qingsong Valley to work as workers and participate in smelting steel!" Zhang Song corrected Yu Xinzhi's statement.

"It's good that this way, but won't there be any trouble?" Liu Yongsheng was a little worried.

This is a problem, Zhang Song asked Song Pei, "Does Song Jun have a plan?" ”

"This is easy to do, for the stubborn thieves, then kill, for those who have a certain talent and can be reformed, you can consider absorbing into the team of Green Pine Valley, and the rest, let them be coolies, until they do reform themselves, and then let them out of the valley."

"Good way!" Zhang Song smiled happily. This is equivalent to the labor reform of the previous life, which not only solves the problem of labor shortage, but also prevents the revolt of thieves caused by excessive exploitation.

"Iron smelting technology is a big secret, let them out, don't you worry about leaking?" I asked in my heart.

"It's okay, we only let them do coolies, and as for the core secrets, don't let them have a chance to get in touch with them." "At the same time, we can also establish a confidentiality organization to prevent leakage." ”

Yu Xinzhi and Liu Yongsheng had nothing to say, they both agreed with this plan, and their words were full of joy.

"Big brother, how is Liu Wuzi?" Zhang Song asked.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a day or two." Yu Xinzhi understood what Zhang Song wanted to ask, and after a little thought, he said, "You are right, he has indeed repented and can be trusted." ”

"That's good, from tomorrow, we will strengthen our training, and after a while we will start our journey of leveling thieves!"

"Yes!" Yu Xinzhi replied loudly.

Song Pei also Liu Yongsheng stretched his brows and smiled happily.
