Chapter 70: Shi Jian and Cui Yan
Perhaps nearly tens of thousands of people have joined, and there are already busy people everywhere outside Zhuji County.
"Xun Biao completely according to your requirements, the people are divided into the wasteland group and the road repair group, and the two teams rotate to ensure that the road repair and land reclamation are carried out at the same time. It is said that part of the reclaimed fields have begun to intersect with Wusheng County, and Xun Chen is busy negotiating with the county magistrate of Wusheng County on how to demarcate the county boundary. Wang Yu pointed to the people not far away and said to Li Ming.
"Clearing the wasteland is their own business, but building roads is the government's business. As long as we grasp the progress and control the intensity of cash-for-work, we can also widen and repair the official roads by the way. Li Ming said proudly, cash-for-work is a means he came up with, after all, many officials seem to have used this trick in later generations.
"Speaking of which, I have something to report to you!" Wang Yu suddenly remembered something, "Now the area west of Wushu has been developed one after another, so according to the actual situation, Bai Xin suggested that Damo County should be moved westward for about fifty miles, and the area between Damo and Wushu can be developed into another county seat!" ”
Hearing this, Li Ming couldn't help but carefully recall the map of that area, and found that Wushu and Yongkang, by the end of the time, there was indeed such a large plain area that had not been developed, and it seemed appropriate to set up a county seat here.
"We don't have the power to demarcate administrative regions yet!" Li Ming shook his head, Bai Xin's suggestion was obviously the best, but it was not something they could do at this stage. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the four new county towns of Yongkang, Tiantai, Xianju and Lishui, it is better to say that it is better to say that it is a county seat.
Don't dare to build a city wall! Once you get on the walls, it's the real city! Not to mention anything else, the quota of the four county orders and county lieutenants must not fall into their own hands, so why make yourself uncomfortable?!
As he spoke, the three of them entered Zhuji County.
"Huh? Xiao Yao didn't come to greet us? Li Ming felt strange, it was said that Xiao Yao was definitely going to come out to greet him when he received the news, even if he waited for half a day, he might come out to greet him.
"Is something wrong?" Zhang Mo couldn't help frowning, it seemed that some people had gathered there in the distance.
"Let's take a look!" Li Ming nodded, rode his horse directly, and the other three followed closely behind.
Just looking at the crowd, there are two figures who are competing, without using internal qi, and completely relying on pure martial arts and sword skills to compete. After taking a closer look, he found that Xiao Yao was one of them, and at this moment, he was holding an eyebrow knife and directly hitting the opponent with the martial art of 'Rock Shattering Knife'.
His opponent is a man in his twenties, who seems to be a practitioner, and he doesn't use his internal qi at the moment, relying on a ring-headed knife to fight with Xiao Yao. At this moment, he blocked Xiao Yao's rock shattering knife, and actually counterattacked for the first time, which was actually a martial art to defend against counterattacks.
"How's the strength?" Li Ming looked at Wang Yu and Zhang Mo.
"It's on par with Xiao Yao, of course this is without using internal qi!" Zhang Mo commented.
Martial arts do not use internal qi, and the effects are completely different! Objectively speaking, if you don't use internal qi, you can use more or less lethal effects, and the subsequent effects, such as breaking defenses or critical hits, will naturally not exist.
Without internal qi, many things are not accurate at all, and the martial arts competition is pure proficiency. I don't know if it's wrong, Li Ming feels that Xiao Yao's 'Rock Crushing Knife' proficiency has become very proficient.
It's just that the man's martial arts are also sharp, even if it comes and goes is such a set of martial arts, but he attacks with ordinary attacks, and several times attracts Xiao Yao to launch a strong attack, but then he is blocked by this move, and counterattacks back.
"Don't fight, it's no fun to bully you!" Xiao Yao shook his head and avoided this directly.
"Thank you for the advice!" The man gave his hand, knowing what Xiao Yao meant, he didn't practice any exercises, and he would lose if he continued to fight.
"I still lack an adjutant under my command, and you and your partner have good abilities, why don't you join my command?" Xiao Yao immediately proposed to solicit, which can be regarded as the first attempt to recruit a family general after he regained his freedom.
Li Ming didn't feel anything about this, and the growing strength under his command naturally meant that he was getting stronger and stronger. Xiao Yao also has a die-hard loyalty procedure, so he doesn't need to worry about his loyalty at all.
"I waited for the south, my original intention was to visit Taishou, and I didn't plan to go out before I met Taishou." The man shook his head, and declined Xiao Yao's solicitation.
"Hahahaha, Pengfei, it's a shame, right?" Zhang Mo and Xiao Yao have a good relationship, and when they heard this, they immediately stepped forward and quipped.
"Caution? Since you are here, isn't your lord near here? When Xiao Yao saw Zhang Mo, he immediately looked around, and when he saw Li Ming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The subordinates failed to go outside the city in time to greet them, and I ask the lord to forgive them!" Xiao Yao arched his hand and said, it has nothing to do with the free body, Xiao Yao is still a guest under Li Ming, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the lord, but it seems that he has not forgotten his roots.
"Two strong men...... Anyway, this should be a scribe, right? A certain person is too shou Li Ming, I don't know if the two of them are looking for Ming, what is the so-called matter? Li Ming nodded at Xiao Yao first, and then came to the two of them, but his eyes were still on the companion next to the man. Although this person is also dressed as a samurai and wears a sword at his waist, he feels more like a scribe.
"Actually seen through? In fact, Cui also practiced martial arts, but he didn't learn it well. On this trip, I heard that there are a lot of mountains in the land of Jiangdong, so this samurai dressed up, and if necessary, he can also draw his sword to defend himself. The man surnamed Cui smiled with a smile.
"Dare to ask the names of the two high surnames?" Li Ming asked curiously, and his intuition told him that these two people were definitely not annoying.
"Qinghe Cui Yan (Peiguo Shi Lian), I've seen an adult!" The two of them are now white, and it is normal to see Li Ming saluting.
"Well, the two of you are good, are you willing to serve in the army? In fact, whether it is in the army or in the yamen, there is a shortage of manpower! But real talent! Li Ming looked at the two of them, to be honest, he was really very unfamiliar with the names Shi Jian and Cui Yan.
Are they considered historical figures? There is no memory of this at all! However, Shi Lian's ability is good, it is estimated that there is a degree of Chen Heng or Yu Mi, and the follow-up training may be better! As for Cui Yan, I don't know how talented he is!
"Hahaha, adults are willing to recruit me before they know my talent?" Cui Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Qinghe Cui Clan Cui Yan, how is your talent, I don't know, I don't know? What's the matter, the southbound distraction? Li Ming spoke, but Wang Yu took a step forward, "I heard that the Cui family and the Yuan family are quite close......
"Actually, it's nothing, there is a vacancy in the Wusheng County Order, so Yan asked the family for it." Cui Yan smiled faintly, then walked up to Li Ming, and arched his hand and said, "Cui Yan, the commander of Wushu County, has seen an adult!" ”
"Cui Yan is the leader of the younger generation, Yunwen Yunwu, talented, and he will be closer to him in the future!" Wang Yu laughed and introduced.
"Where, where, it's just some reputation that can't be put on the table!" Cui Yan replied politely.
"Gold will shine wherever it goes, whether it is a talent or not, we will naturally see in three years!" Li Ming said with a smile.
