Chapter 16 The Honest Dealer

Yun Yue smiled and accepted everyone's worship, and when everyone dispersed, she touched her teeth and commanded Ao Canghai: "You take people to follow the little lady, if any bastard dares to beat the little lady's idea." Just give me a discount on your legs! ”

"No!" Ao Canghai bowed down to receive the order, and Li Si laughed.

There was a strange scene in the wounded barracks, whenever a few little ladies shouted to help the wounded soldiers. The wounded soldiers ran faster than rabbits on crutches, or else a group of big men would have surrounded them. uttered the most threatening language: "Brother, what's uncomfortable, brother will pinch you." ”

The little girls were very sad, and the little girl who had nowhere to vent her love kicked Ao Canghai hard. The effect was very bad, his feet hurt, and Ao Canghai just shook the dust on his robe. The helpless little girl wanted to cry to her brother and asked her brother to help her beat this hateful guy. only to find that my brother was gone.

Yun Yue didn't care about this, he was ready to patrol his territory like Xiaobai, who roamed all day. The streets of Pingliang City are very wide, and the high roadbed is higher than the thatched huts next to it. The drainage ditches on both sides of the road lead to the outside of the city, and they are all made of bluestone. It is characterized by its beauty and spaciousness, and according to Yun Yue's estimation, the drainage ditch is a meter wide.

"Lees, why did you make the roadbed so high? Although the gutter is wide enough, it can still flow back into the house in case of a blockage. ”

"Master Hou, don't worry, there is all the coal you said underneath this road. Let's store it like this, in case there is a real siege again, and the coal needed for a cool winter will be found. will not be like a permanent tooth, and end up miserable.

If you look at the new houses on both sides of the road, which ones have not raised the foundations to avoid flooding. If we go down like this, our cool terrain will be much higher than that outside the city. Even if someone digs up the water and backs it up. We're not afraid.

Don't look at me like that. This was all the idea of the fisherman. When it comes to marching and fighting, Li Si is inferior to them. But governing the city is what Lees has learned. Li Si traveled to six countries to find a city where he could use what he had learned all his life to realize his life ambitions. Unexpectedly, I ran into walls everywhere, and I couldn't get my wish until I met Hou Ye. Speaking of his knowledge of governing the world, Li Si is quite confident.

Yun Yue had to admit that Pingliang had made him govern well. The ruins were calm and cool, but they were rejuvenated in half a year. There are already shops on both sides of Bluestone Road, and there are not many pedestrians on the street. But most of them are clean and tidy.

People are clean and in good spirits. Yun Yue's board size is not popular in the end, except for killing talents in the army. People in these years are super protective of their heads and are reluctant to cut off excess hair. The idea that the body and skin should not be damaged by the parents is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! Yun Yue was very helpless, and it seemed that she still had a long way to go to implement her short hair.

A group of people appeared along the road, all of whom were strong men of five big and three thick. Carrying a big wooden stick in his hand, he didn't look like a good person with a fierce expression, and what made Yun Yue curious was that there were actually a few people in the team who were healthy women.

It's really a healthy woman, with big shoulders and round waists, big heads and no necks. Walking and passing, he has the style of a chef. No way! A few of them even have beards.

When the gang saw the disheveled guy, they began to interrogate him. Meet the strong man of the man. Meet the female healthy woman. I saw these people pulling their clothes and picking their hair, not knowing what they were doing.

Seeing Yun Yue's puzzled eyes, Li Si smiled and said, "This is the health inspection team organized by Li Si, and there are three teams in the city. They mainly inspect the people in the city for lice, and when they were teaching Gongzizheng, they had heard Gongzizheng talk about the deeds of Hou Ye when he was in Lizhuang. Li Si had a great understanding that many diseases were transmitted by such small things.

It makes sense to think about it, suck the blood from your body and then go to suck someone else. Or even suck the blood of livestock rats before they come and bite people. It is strange not to spread the epidemic, so Li Si learned from Hou Ye to set up these inspection teams.

However, the punishment was slightly different from that of Hou Ye, and Li Si built a public bath in Dongcheng. The guys who were found to have lice would be sent there to take a bath, and the butchers were hired to be good at removing pig hair, which I believe was not a pleasant experience. So far, I haven't found out that people who have been there have taken the initiative to go back.

Each time he was caught, he had to serve three days of hard labor to build the walls of the city. Cement kilns and brick kilns are short of manpower. No matter how much labor is added to it, it is not enough. ”

Yun Yue sweated profusely, and he made things on a whim. was actually imitated by Li Sigao, you can imagine the unbearable methods of those hair-shedding guys. Bathing people in the hands of the guy who sheds the hair of the pig is a kind of torture in disguise.

The two walked out of the city, and Yun Yue planned to take a good look at his territory. After a few months of Li Si's governance, what has become of it?

The walls have been built and rebuilt with masonry on the outside of the original walls. Once the new walls were built, the old ones were demolished. Pingliang City is more than twice as large, and there are not many workers on the construction site, only about two or three hundred.

"Most of the Qiang slaves died in Bailuyuan, and now these are all nobles who have not left. It's not as good as the slaves, but it's hard work. Lees linked their food supplies to their workload, and each team was given as much food as they did each day. For the sake of their stomachs, they all worked hard. In the evening, without the supervision of the construction worker, he will consciously work at night to meet the construction deadline. ”

Yun Yue sweated profusely, isn't this the way the Japanese devils tossed Chinese laborers in the first place? It turns out that this fucking pirate, Li Si, this guy looks white-skinned, and he doesn't smile or speak when he sees people. It turned out to be a master who eats people and does not spit out bones, according to his methods. The workload of these Qiang people will always increase, and then they will work hard to feed themselves. In addition to being exhausted to death, Yun Yue couldn't think of any other fate for these people.

Can't bear to see the brutal oppression of these Qiang people by the foreman, Yun Yue doesn't even want to stay here. This made Lees, who was about to show off his achievements, a little sad, but when he saw the farmers outside the city drying wheat on the threshing floor, he regained his strength. Sad...... The great Lees doesn't need that kind of boring feelings, he does everything utilitarianly.

"It's not a good year, it's not bad. The wheat harvest is average, but it is enough to be self-sufficient. Mr. Wusun still has a lot of grain in exchange, and we don't collect taxes from the bankers. Finally, someone came to calm down, and it needs to be protected for a few years. ”

"Yes! It is already difficult to recruit people, and there is no benefit, how can anyone come to this remote place. What happened to the people sent to collect the displaced people, and how many people have been brought in this year? Yun Yue was still very concerned about how many people there were under his rule, and he couldn't wait to get more than 100,000 or 200,000 people to fill up the entire Pingliang.

The excerpts that apply for labor everywhere have been stacked into mountains here in Yunyue, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Where does he go to get people to go? There are so many people in the city, and they dare to increase the conscription before they have time to coax it.

"Not ideal! It would be nice to be able to recruit 100 households. The Qin people all have household registration, except for those who have escaped from crime. No one dares to leave their homes without permission, let's recruit these 100 households, or merchants. The Qin people looked down on the merchants, and although Xianyang was prosperous, they imposed heavy taxes on the merchants. We can only promise some benefits and let them relocate to Pingliang to operate.

Further west is the Western Regions, where many people have never been. Hearing that there were also people over there, Li Si thought that if they could trade with each other. We seem to have taxes to collect ......! ”

Li Si couldn't help himself in a reverie, as a local governor, he has not collected taxes so far, which is intolerable.

The Great Silk Road will not exist until two hundred years later, Yun Yue looked at the hysterical Li Si with pity. To collect tariffs, you have to mix at least a three-digit age. Otherwise, don't even think about it!

When the farmers saw that the Hou Ye was coming, they all came to give gifts. are all real people, running around with Yun Yue without regrets. Now that I finally have my own home, the land is not fertile. But it is definitely not barren, and the bankers do not want to be individual all their lives. Digging in the soil, and having a piece of land to cultivate is their lifelong wish.

"How's this year's harvest going?" Yun Yue was surrounded by the people, like the secretary of the county party committee in the countryside.

"It's not bad, Master Hou gave ten acres of land. After doing the math, one acre of land also made 300 catties of grain. There are not many people in the family, enough to eat! Master Li also gave chickens, ducks and fat sheep, and the children in the family went to herd the sheep every day. If you kill one during the New Year, you must send a leg of mutton to Master Hou. It's a pity, there are no piglets. If you raise two more fat pigs, you will be killed during the New Year, hehe......"

The old man worked hard to give Yun Yuexiu two crumbling front teeth, and his face was full of happiness.

In these damn years, the peasants with a yield of more than 200 catties per mu were very happy. Yun Yue really wants God to let Mr. Yuan cross over and care about what kind of fucking genetically modified. Let's feed the big guy's belly first.

"Don't worry, old man, let's collect the piglets. Ensure that the family will raise a good family and eat big fat pigs next year. Looking at the excited people, Yun Yue made the most solemn assurance. What's the matter, Lao Tzu sold two more sets of glassware and came out. All Pingliang people have a mouthful of big fat pigs, what's the big deal.

Yun Yue's current appearance is very similar to an Arab tycoon. Relying on technological superiority, he grabs wealth at will. Now Yun Yue can also shout, Lao Tzu is so poor that there is money left. Later generations wanted to shout for many years, but they didn't expect it to be realized in the Warring States period.

Generous people are always welcome, and the dealers are really happy to have such a marquis. The dealer is real, this stuffed with two eggs. The one gave a few pieces of cake, and a peasant woman ran home. I cut the fresh vegetables as quickly as I could, washed them, wrapped them in linen, and sent them over.

The guard next to him had two chickens around his neck and green rape in his hand. With two eggs in his pocket, he followed Yun Yue to the city, looking like a ghost soldier returning from the countryside. (To be continued......)
