The laws of the Great Song Dynasty are still very strict, Ren Batian kills people, and as soon as he finished drinking the celebration wine, he was arrested by the number one catcher in Kaifeng Mansion with a shackle and a lock, but Ren Batian is not in a hurry at all, and Gao Shuang is not in a hurry.

Sure enough, three days later, Kaifeng Mansion announced the result, Ren Batian, as a temporary employee of the City Patrol Division, was fatally threatened by the hawker when he was on duty, out of self-defense, snatching a knife and injuring people, which is legitimate defense and does not constitute a crime, but considering the poverty of the victim's family, Ren Batian was asked to pay the victim's family five times for funeral expenses out of benevolence, Ren Batian was very generous, not only gave ten pieces of silver, but also sent a pair of wreaths, which actually made some people in Tokyo praise benevolence, Of course, there are also some people who understand that Ren Batian deliberately provoked the sugarcane sellers to provoke, just to make excuses for killing, but this statement is pale and weak.

Ren Batian came out of the prison, Gao Shuang greeted him personally, and set off a long firecracker, and at the same time found an unopened Yangzhou thin horse from Hualou to give Ren Batian to bad luck.

The City Patrol Division finally got on the right track and played with great energy, but Gao Shuang suddenly didn't let people go to Daxiangguo Temple for inspection, and he didn't go for seven or eight days.

Ren Batian said: "The population of Tokyo City is as high as one million, and there are many stalls everywhere, are we managed by more than 50 people?" ”

"I think we must strike while the iron is hot, expand our strength, recruit another three hundred and five hundred, and catch it fiercely, beat it hard." Ren Gang also said.

Gao Shuang took a sip of the good Dali Pu'er tea that entered the palace, spit out a tea stick, and said with a smile: "Do things to advance and retreat in a certain way, you can't just move forward, otherwise it is easy to break, recently we have been beating too hard, and the people have a lot of gossip, saying that we are hooligans in uniform, how ugly." Tea shops and restaurants are everywhere. ”

Ren Batian's brain was stupid, and he couldn't think of a good trick, so he said: "I'll lead my brothers to arrest people, and I will fight one by one." ”

"The prison is not so easy to live in, our Great Song Dynasty has strict laws, so we can't mess around. This thing is like this, that Ren Gang, you can find a group of people to go to the restaurant and tea shop tomorrow and say good things for our city patrol division, that is: "What's wrong with the city patrol division, do you all like a Tokyo full of small merchants and vendors?" When the vendors block your door, you say it's not good to patrol the city. Said that the tea money would be reimbursed for free in the morning, and at the same time give five cents. ”

Ren Batian hesitated a little, not knowing whether this method was feasible, he smiled inscrutablely, then stood up, gave advice, and said, "Just do it." ”

While hiring people to publicize everywhere, Ren Batian began to recruit unemployed people in their forties and fifties, mainly women, and of course some men. These people, who were paid very low wages, drove horse-drawn carts with brooms every day, cleaned the streets of Tokyo City, and swept up the garbage. It turned out that there were still four dung bully in Tokyo City, because they were all toilets at that time, and the toilets also needed to be excreted. It's lowly to be in this profession, but it's profitable. The city patrol division took over the four dung tyrants, and collected the money of these people every month, and the four dung tyrants raised the price again, making a lot of trouble in the city, of course, there were many complaints, all of them complained to Dali Temple, but the results were not, people said, this is a market economy, people pay for your dung, this is a fair deal, if you feel expensive, you can dig your own dung.

In a word, Gao Shuang has a vision, can give gifts, and never swallows the money privately, whether it is a superior or a subordinate, he can take benefits, and at the same time, as a Yanei, he knows very well who can offend and who can't offend.

Ren Batian was also very happy, and secretly scolded: "Chao Gai of the dog's day, I want you to look good when Lao Tzu is developed." ”

In the big tent of the Yuncheng regiment training army, Chao Gai sneezed viciously, rubbed his nose and scolded: "Which bastard scolded me." ”

Zhu Wu came in and said, "Brother." ”

"Oh, Mr. Zhu is here, sit down quickly." Chao Gai said.

"What happened to the two buildings in the industrial park and the trade city?" Chao Gai asked.

Zhu Wudao: "A total of 5,000 craftsmen were mobilized, the process was very fast, both projects were almost completed, but the weather was cold, several people in charge were worried about the durability of the building, and suggested that the construction should continue in the spring of next year, but most of the craftsmen were reluctant to go back." ”

Chao Gai thought for a while and said: "Since the beginning of winter, the weather has become colder and colder day by day, and it is indeed not suitable for forced construction. Most of the artisans are refugees, so naturally they are reluctant to go back. Tomorrow you announce the suspension of work, leaving five or six hundred craftsmen at each construction site to do some indoor work, and as for the other workers, they will have a holiday, but if they don't want to leave, they can stay, eat and drink every day, but they can't be idle. ”

Zhu Wudao: "What does my brother plan to let them do, it's cold now, even if the bald tree planting team digs a tree pit, it can't dig it." ”

"There is no salary to be paid for the training of these craftsmen for a winter, but they have enough food every day, you go and ask, and whoever wants to train can sign up voluntarily."

Zhu Wudao: "It's still my brother who is wise, I'll do it." ”

What is unexpected is that as soon as this matter spread, almost 80% of the craftsmen agreed to stay for military training, and more local people were not happy.

The entire Yuncheng young and middle-aged men have their own spears or knives, and they have occasionally conducted military training, but this time is also a good time, and the farm is idle.

But Chao Gai took into account that the training of tens of thousands of military training will cause some people to be unhappy, so he decided to train in batches, the long winter can not work for at least two months, first train the recruited craftsmen, the content of their training is mainly some simple formation queues, and how to deal with the attack when marching and fighting, and did not equip them with other weapons, each person has a one-and-a-half-meter-long sapper shovel, this shovel is much stronger and sharper than the shovel of ordinary farmers, the material is very real, at least one and a half pounds of weight, can shovel, can shoot, can cut, and is a must-have for home travel, marching, and fighting.

Zhu Wu took dozens of veterans to train them, and he didn't try to achieve results in training, anyway, as long as he didn't eat idle food. In addition to military training, there were some other production activities, and it didn't take long for things to come, forage, war horses, mules, a lot of forage. Soybean straw, corn straw, and other kinds of forage can not be fed directly, all have to be processed and broken, ironware workshop Tang Long exerted a clever brain, a small hand-cranked straw crusher, in fact, it is a half-meter diameter iron wheel, there are two sharp blades on it, shake the iron wheel, from one side of the straw slowly pushed over, the fast flying knife wheel will crush the straw.

Thousands of people crushed the straw together, the speed was much faster than the previous guillotine, Zhu Wu was very happy, and specially invited Chao Gai to visit.

"Brother, how, when you are not training, you can arrange these people to process forage for our military horses, mules, etc., and the output is also a lot."

Looking at this huge handicraft workshop, thousands of people working together is indeed spectacular, but it is not satisfactory to say the output, you must know that in later generations, a random pulverizer powered by electricity or diesel engines can process several tons in an hour.

"Mr. Zhu did a good job, making full use of the idle labor force, saving these strong men from getting into trouble cleanly. It's just that what if we don't have so many people, there will be more horses in the future. Chao Gai said.

"This." Zhu Wu sighed. He is Chao Gai's henchman, so he naturally knows Chao Gai's ideals, and if he wants to dominate one side, he can't do it without 20,000 cavalry, and the more horses there are, the more horse material will naturally be.

"I remember, brother. I don't think the woodsmith factory has a windmill mill and a water-powered mill, if you can process this water-powered and wind-powered mill, it can be used to crush forage. Zhu Wu said.

Chao Gai was overjoyed: "It's better to remind Mr. Zhu, we have to take precautions, and we must be prepared for more horses in the future." ”

Chao Gai immediately went to the woodworking workshop and asked the mill to improve the grinding of grain and rice, and asked to be able to crush and process forage.

On this day, Chao Gai had just finished practicing the Golden Dragon Swallowing Heavenly Halberd, and Li Han came quietly.

"The owner, I found the traces of the five tigers of the Ren family such as Ren Batian, they actually went to Tokyo City to open a store, and also climbed to Gao Shuang Gao Yanei, and they were full of wind and water, it seems that they want revenge."

Chao Gai nodded: "Got it, pay close attention, and report something at any time." Is there anything else going on lately? ”

"There is a Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple in Lashan, who blows very evilly, saying that he can call the wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers, and there are many people who come to him every day to tell fortunes." Li Han said.

Chao Gai touched his chin and thought: "Every time I go to sea or something, it costs a lot to invite a Taoist priest to do a sacrifice, and the Taoist priest who was temporarily invited is not obedient. Why don't you gather a few Taoist priests for our use. ”

"What the owner of the village said is, what is the name of this Taoist priest who is the Gongsun Sheng of the Cloud Dragon." Li Handao.

"Oh, it's him. Alright, you go down. Chao Gai asked Li Han to retreat, to say that this Gongsun Sheng is a wonderful person, at the beginning he and Liu Tang Sanruan took refuge in Chao Gai together, robbed the birth gang and wanted to achieve a great career, but Chao Gai did not have great ambitions, plus Song Jiang began to seize power, so Gongsun Sheng was embarrassed, so he went back into hiding, thinking of this, Chao Gai immediately instructed Jiao Ting: "Prepare to go to Lashan Temple, you go and prepare." ”

"Yes."

After Jiao Ting finished speaking, he went out to prepare, about a stick of incense, Jiao Ting was ready, Chao Gai didn't bring many people, just Jiao Ting plus a guard force of ten cavalry, and the group went straight to Lashanguan.

The antique Lashan Taoist Temple, there is a long queue outside the largest meditation room, here is the dojo of Gongsun Sheng, the great god stick's fortune telling, but all capable people have tempers, Chao Gai and Jiao Ting stood outside and waited, and did not dare to disturb, at this time the last female pilgrim walked into the meditation room.
