"The slave maid will go back to her life first, and she won't bother the lord, please stay." The father-in-law knew it when he weighed the silver taels in his hand a little, and his face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.

"I'm tired, be careful on the road."

Seeing them leave, because they were in the county office, the reward was not given in person, but would be sent to their respective homes by a special person afterwards.

After the people left, everyone bowed to Liu Feiyun from the bottom of their hearts: "Thank you Lord County Shou for your support." ”

"Alas~" Liu Feiyun sighed: "As for it, this is everyone's own efforts, and when those who have the ability have their own talents, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Liu Feiyun said this, but others didn't dare to think that if it weren't for his arrival, I don't know what would happen to Yuyang County, and it was a blessing in misfortune not to be removed from office and imprisoned, not to mention that at this time, I could get some rewards with the light.

Feng Yu and the others bowed again, and then Feng Yu's face seemed to be flattering: "My lord, the father-in-law who announced the decree just now called you a lord, what is this?" ”

"It's just a county barony, and he made a little merit at the beginning, and His Majesty can afford to reward a knighthood."

Liu Feiyun said lightly, but you don't think it's a small achievement, you must know that there are not many titles in Xihao Kingdom today, each of them is famous, or his father's outstanding achievements were finally passed on to him.

This adult got the knighthood at the age of the weak crown, even if it was just a small county man, but it was also a knighthood, and he was among the nobles of Xihao at once.

Unconsciously, everyone looked at Liu Feiyun's eyes with more awe and admiration, maybe because of his position in the past, but now he sincerely called him: Adult.

"Alright, let's all go down and get busy. Pay more attention to the hot heat, and the duty must not be forgotten, but the body is also extremely important. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I'll pay attention to it later."

A holy decree only changes the lives of some officials, and what else should be done, everyone is enthusiastic to give advice to the people, in exchange for the people's gratitude.

In fact, many officials have an expectation in their hearts to become famous and famous, but more often they are powerless or do not get appropriate opportunities. At this time, although the situation in Yuyang County is not to that extent, and the protagonists are not them, they can also leave a few strokes in history no matter what they say.

The reconstruction of the homes of the people of Yuyang County is progressing smoothly, and now it has almost returned to its past, or even surpassed.

But some things are always difficult to eliminate, and the pirates who once disappeared have reappeared, and this time, more ferocious, more unscrupulous.

In this era, wars mostly take place on land and on horses, and everyone is unfamiliar with the sea. They relied on the lack of regular navy in the country of Xihao, and their ignorance of the sea, unable to grasp their exact whereabouts, and they plundered and slaughtered everywhere.

Liu Wei hurriedly sent someone back to report the pirates, and he checked at the place where the incident occurred to see if he could get some useful information.

After Liu Feiyun received the news, he couldn't hold effective means for a while. The main thing is that they are not familiar with the sea, and there are no big ships on the beach to support them in exploring the sea.

He said to the officers and soldiers who delivered the news: "You tell Lieutenant Liu to send more people to keep an eye on some hidden places, and think about the locations where pirates may sneak in, and now focus on defense first." ”

If you can't take the initiative, you naturally have to wait for the rabbit and cast a wide net, so as to find the pirate traces in advance as much as possible.

"My subordinates understand that they will pass it on to the county lieutenant word for word."

The officers and soldiers left, and Liu Feiyun tapped the table with his five fingers, thinking about what he should do. In fact, if he really wanted to explore the lair of this group of pirates, there would definitely be a safe way.

"How the hell do you get it?"

Suddenly, an idea popped into Liu Feiyun's mind, the sea is very mysterious to most people, and the unknown means danger. But there are two sides to everything, and if you are familiar with it, then it is safe to a certain extent.

"If you find a safe island overseas as a base, this is an opportunity to get a safer way out and security."

The current valley is hidden, but after all, it is on land, and if the existence of this force in the valley is discovered, the possibility of finding it will not be small if a large-scale person digs into the ground and searches.

"You can think about this matter, and go back in the evening and let people inform Brother Liu and them."

In the evening, Liu Feiyun asked Liu Yi and them to pass their thoughts back to the valley, and Liu Shuhan, who got the news, gave a reply the next day.

"It's feasible, it's easy to find shipbuilders, in fact, we can build them ourselves, but we don't know how to build big ships, especially ships that can sail safely in the sea."

Liu Feiyun didn't understand the ship-making process, but he knew the appearance, and the concept of being ahead of the times, steel and cement manufacturing, powered by steam, rather than simply the current wooden boats and hand oars.

He took out a pen and paper and wrote down all his ideas, especially asking them to build a large pool to scale down and experiment, and then set a model for production after success and continuous improvement.

In addition, to build a large ship, it is necessary to find a suitable port by the sea and build a dock, otherwise it will not be able to be transported to the sea at that time, and people must be sent to find it in advance.

A thought leads to a myriad of things, and if he really wants to build the ship he wants, he doesn't know how much time and effort it will take. But for the sake of the future, everything is worth it.

The world is unpredictable, who knows the changes in the future, many roads and multiple opportunities.

A few days passed, and I don't know if these pirates knew about Liu Feiyun's arrangement, and suddenly disappeared again, which made people very annoyed, and it was always more unpleasant to be passive than active.

The more this is the case, the more he can't take it lightly, he has to pay attention to this matter, if there is no solution to the tragedy of the people, it will make people panic and add a lot of trouble to him.

In addition to the officials who had to stay behind in the county office, all the officers and soldiers were sent out, as well as Liu Feiyun's valley team members, and the focus shifted from staring at Ye Guolai's people to pirates.

"Report." With a hurried cry, a sergeant with torn clothes and bloodstains came towards the mansion, and under the leadership of Feng Yu, he came to Liu Feiyun and said: "My lord, I found the traces of pirates, and the county lieutenant chased them and besieged them in a valley, but the valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I can't take it for a long time, the county lieutenant asked the little one to come to the county guard to ask for advice." ”

"Oh, blocked?" Liu Feiyun touched his chin and said, "Tell me, what's the situation?" ”

"Forget it." Suddenly, Liu Feiyun changed his words again: "Let's go and see together, it's just fine, let's go and see together, what kind of person dares to commit murder in my Yuyang County." ”

Feng Yu opened his mouth to dissuade him, but in the end he didn't make a sound, and set off with Liu Feiyun, and there should be no danger in this little soldier's words.

rode away, and a few hours later, Liu Feiyun and others appeared in front of Liu Wei. At this time, they set up camp in front of a valley to prevent pirates from escaping.

As soon as Liu Feiyun arrived, he said: "Lieutenant Liu, have you explored the surrounding terrain, will you escape from other places?" ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured." Liu Wei explained: "The lower officials sent people to investigate clearly as soon as possible, and the three cliffs are the only ones that can be passed here, but the lower officials on the four cliffs also sent people to guard them, even if they have wings, it is difficult to fly." ”

"It's just my lord, they can't escape, but we can't do anything about them, if they break in, they will only increase casualties."

Liu Wei's explanation Liu Feiyun was very satisfied, since it was the most correct choice to surround and not rush forward, if he didn't get supplies, he would starve to death sooner or later, but it might take longer.

"How big is the valley?" When Liu Feiyun arrived, he naturally wanted to solve the problems he was facing as much as possible, so he asked.

"The size of more than ten acres of land, I don't know if adults have a solution?" Liu Wei said expectantly.

"Take me to the mountains."

"Please follow me." Liu Wei personally led the team, Taniguchi was already surrounded by groups, and it was not a big problem for him to leave for a while.

Standing on a high place overlooking the entire valley, you can see the edge at a glance, but the height is not low, more than ten meters. This distance may not be difficult for Liu Feiyun's security team, but these sergeants and pirates don't have such climbing skills.

Condescendingly, this group of people was like a turtle in an urn, and at this moment, Liu Feiyun thought of a way, but it was a little cruel.

It was a small place, and there were a lot of trees and weeds, and there was no stream to water it, so it was almost impossible to extinguish it when it was ignited.

It didn't take long for Liu Feiyun to make a decision, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, aren't those people who died in vain innocent, didn't they still leave no hands at all. It's all death, it's just that the way of death is different, and there is no so-called cruelty or cruelty between hostilities.

Liu Wei looked at Liu Feiyun as if he was pondering, and didn't dare to disturb in the slightest, at this moment, seeing Liu Feiyun raise his head, he hurriedly said, "My lord, do you have a clever plan?" ”

"It's simple, just a little unkind."

Seeing Liu Feiyun say this, Liu Wei asked tentatively, "What do you mean by fire attack?" ”

"Not bad." Liu Feiyun was surprised: "Lieutenant Liu knows about the fire attack, why don't you use it?" ”

"Your Excellency doesn't know, although it is summer at the moment, the vegetation is lush and non-flammable, but if the fire is big, once it spreads, it will not be controllable, so the lower officials dare not carry out this plan."

"I see."

The plan of fire attack is simple, ordinary people can think of it, after listening to Liu Wei's explanation, Liu Feiyun finally understood that it was not that they couldn't think of it, but that they had concerns. This concern is not unreasonable, although the grass and trees are not dry, it does not mean that they will not burn, and the consequences of the fire once it spreads are unpredictable.

However, this problem is very simple for Liu Feiyun, he said: "This is easy, you send someone to remove all the grass and trees within one meter of the cliff, and then use the fire plan, it must be foolproof, even if there is an accident, it can be easily controlled." ”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Liu Feiyun knew that they didn't understand the concept of a barrier, and in this era, the fire was not to let it go out on its own, but to think of water.

Seeing that Liu Wei still had doubts, Liu Feiyun said: "Liu Junwei can do what the official says, don't worry, it's no problem." ”

"Yes, then the next official will arrange it immediately."

The scope is not large, and it doesn't take much time for a group of people to clean up. Of course, their actions did not hide from the pirates below, and they all stared vigilantly at the top and Taniguchi.

"Let's do it."

Seeing that it was almost clear, Liu Feiyun gave an order, and Liu Wei immediately ordered it to be executed, and for a while, countless torches and oil-soaked cloths flew down.
