Cao Shuo waited outside the tomb until the blacksmith and carpenter arrived.

After drawing the drawing of the cutting machine, Cao Shuo explained the working principle in detail and gave them the task of cutting the skin of the salamander.

The ancient salamanders have been removed, and the excavation has only just begun.

It was useless to stay here, and Cao Shuo returned to Shouchun with Cai Ji, Wei Tu and others.

As soon as I entered Shouchun City, I was greeted by a team of people.

The first person was Pang Tong.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Pang Tong hurriedly reined in and saluted.

"Where is Shi Yuan going in a hurry?" Seeing that Pang Tong seemed to be in a hurry, Cao Shuo asked.

"Childe." Pang Tong saluted and said, "Something happened in the village near Xia Cai. ”

"Something's wrong?" Cao Shuo asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Grab the water." Pang Tong said: "There are several villages near Xiacai, most of which are migrated from Qingzhou and Jingzhou. After the beginning of spring, the water in the fields increased, and the villages have not yet built water wheels. At first, the villagers fought over the water, but now it has become a fight between several villages. ”

"No dead people?" Hearing that there was a fight, Cao Shuo hurriedly asked.

"A few people died." Pang Tong said: "I was going to report to the son, but when I got to the house, the son ......was not there."

"Zhou Hao excavated the ancient tomb and there was something wrong, I went to him." Cao Shuo said to Pang Tong: "Since we met here, we will go to Xia Cai together." It's better for me to go than for you to go alone. ”

"That's what Childe said." Pang Tong responded and accompanied Cao Shuo to leave Shouchun.

Accompanying Cao Shuo to the outside of Shouchun City, Pang Tong asked: "Zhou Hao will not excavate the ancient tomb outside Shouchun City, right?" ”

"That's it." Cao Shuo said: "I told him not to continue excavating, but he never listened. This time it was good, and more than a dozen soldiers of the Golden Touching Battalion died. ”

"I heard that some ancient tombs have hidden passages, but Zhou Hao has excavated a lot of ancient tombs, so it shouldn't be so many people who died......" Pang Tong, who had not heard of the situation, was a little puzzled.

"There are monsters in the tomb." Cao Shuo said: "It is a very old monster, eating people is like eating meatballs. ”

"Monsters?" Pang Tong asked in astonishment: "There are monsters here, Zhou Hao still dares to continue digging?" ”

"Now it's not about whether there's a monster or not, it's about how to peel that thing off." Cao Shuo lowered his voice and said, "I found that the skin of the monster is very tough, and if it is used to make armor, it cannot be cut at all. ”

"Childe caught the monster?" Pang Tong was even more stunned.

"Why didn't Shi Yuan ask if Zhou Hao caught it?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Zhou Hao?" Pang Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "How can he have that ability?" To be able to catch the monster, it must be Childe's idea! ”

If he continued to talk, he just wanted Pang Tong to praise him a few more words, and Cao Shuo also felt that it was not interesting.

He diverted the topic and asked Pang Tong, "How does Shi Yuan plan to mediate the fight between the people?" ”

"Fighting is an internal friction, and suppression is definitely not good." Pang Tong said: "I plan to punish a few leaders first, and then use the method of appeasement." ”

"How to appease?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Before the construction of waterwheels and canals, they must always have a way to get water...... Pang Tong said: "Not far from Xiacai is Huaishui, although it is not possible to divert Huaishui for irrigation, but there are many tributaries ......"

"Huaishui is abundant, and if the river is not properly dredged, it will most likely be waterlogged." Cao Shuo said: "It is rare to hear of a drought on both sides of the Huaishui River. Living around Xia Cai, I really can't understand how to fight because of the water. ”

"Childe doesn't know." Pang Tong said: "Many of the villagers there are villagers who have migrated from the north, and they have become accustomed to the lack of water in the past, and they think that the banks of Huaishui will be like their hometowns. They made a fuss first, and of course the villagers from Jingzhou and other places would not agree. The two sides quarreled, and in the end, the more troublesome things got bigger, and they became inseparable. ”

"What do you do now?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"I have already ordered the Xia Cai Local Government to send troops to stop it." Pang Tong said: "The feud is getting bigger and bigger, even if it mediates this time, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Hatred can only be reconciled by relatives." Cao Shuo said: "Originally, it was an enemy, but if it becomes an in-law and there is no conflict of interest, it will be difficult to hold grudges anymore." ”

"Childe means ......" As soon as Cao Shuo's words came out, Pang Tong suddenly understood.

"Punishment first." Cao Shuo said: "Those who take the lead in making trouble will not be pardoned, and the rest will be pardoned." Several villages were forced to intermarry each other, so that they all became in-laws. The leader is actually also for the sake of the village, although he wants to make an example, he wants to give their family some subsidies. After all, children have to be raised, and families have to live. The people's lives are not easy, and let them know that the serious situation will pay a high price, but they cannot be exterminated. After all, they are not our enemies, but our back! ”

"That's what Childe said." Pang Tong said: "If you want to stop things, there is only this way." ”

"Although you ordered the local government to control the situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control it." Cao Shuo said to Pang Tong: "The most difficult thing to manage has always been not the army, but the village. Some villagers are so lawless that they always feel that no one can punish them, and the local government will not dare to do anything to them without my approval. It is also my fault that I am too arrogant to get to where I am today. ”

"Why did Childe blame himself?" Pang Tong said: "This matter has nothing to do with Gongzi, it is because the villagers there are too shallow-eyed, and the local government is inactive to get to where we are today." This time, I not only have to punish the leader, but also give the local government some good looks. ”

Cao Shuo just smiled and didn't say much.

Xia Cai is not very far from Shouchun.

Riding a horse and galloping, it took less than two hours for Cao Shuo and the others to come to the outside of Xia Cai City.

When the officials in the city heard that Cao Shuo and Pang Tong were coming, they hurried out of the city to greet them.

Seeing Cao Shuo from afar, the county commander and a group of officials knelt on the ground one after another.

When Cao Shuo and Pang Tong came to the gate of the city, the county commander who was kneeling on the ground said tremblingly: "I don't know that Gongzi is here, and he is late to go out of the city, and he still asks Gongzi to forgive his sins?" ”

"Forgiveness?" Riding on horseback and looking down at the county order, Cao Shuo said: "You are indeed guilty, and you are guilty of not punishable." However, it wasn't because I was late to get out of town, and as for why, you should know better than me! ”

Kneeling on the ground, the county commander trembled so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Ignoring the county order, Cao Shuo rode into the city.

When passing by the county commander, Pang Tong let out a long sigh.

Hearing his sigh, the county order trembled even more.

He has some understanding of Cao Shuo's temper, and if something like this happens, I'm afraid he really can't get rid of it.
