Chapter 432: Three Birds with One Stone
To say that Shi Lei is currently managing a lot of people, but there are more than 1,000 government soldiers under his command, but they are all considered to work for the country, but they are not his Shi Lei's private army, and it is obviously not suitable to let these government soldiers work for their own family, even if they are paid extra, there is also a name for public and private use.

Besides, these people's usual tasks are also quite heavy, in addition to completing the necessary training tasks, such things as last time are generally not their turn, these are just the most basic daily work content of Shi Lei, the commander of the Chong Commander.
Because of the unique geographical location of Guangzhou, with the sea on one side and the local forces in Lingnan headed by Feng Ang on the other, Shi Lei and his soldiers also had to assume duties similar to those of border guards, defending against possible naval attacks, guarding other states and counties in Lingnan, and ensuring the security of half of Guangzhou City, so the task became more arduous.
Unless Shi Lei doesn't think about it and throws these things aside, he will pull his subordinates to work for him.
Even if when he took over, these government soldiers were very honest, they didn't make any trouble for him, and he didn't have a chance to set the fire on the three fires of the new official, so blatantly pulling him to do private work is not realistic, and then those who want to jump out will have something to say, and they are still the reasonable party. Therefore, to solve the manpower problem, it must not be possible to start from the government soldiers.
Fortunately, these soldiers are really obedient, and they don't need to involve too much energy in Shi Lei's daily work, they can do their own things step by step, so Shi Lei can have enough time to do his own things, as long as he sends a few of his subordinates to stare at the point, and by the way, strengthen their training intensity.
Since this road was impassable, Shi Lei had to think of other tricks, and then he noticed the Fan Shang who had almost been ignored before.
Their own caravan has successfully divided enough shares of luxury goods, got a lot of tooth horns and gems and spices, and ran back to Chang'an to earn a huge price difference, and most of them will be made into finished products and sold out, and the profits have increased many times.
But they did not do business with the slave traders, and the profit from transporting slaves back was too small, and it was better to free up the transportation capacity and manpower to get those commodities that were small in size but much higher in value.
But for Shi Lei, these slaves can just alleviate the urgent need. There are slaves who can ensure loyalty as the backbone, and then gradually expand the team, and some basic work can also be handed over to local migrant workers to complete, so that at least the general framework can be inserted first, and then filled in one after another.
However, the problem arises again, you also need real money to buy slaves, and other slave traders will not make a blank deal with you. If they can come to Datang smoothly this year, God knows where they will be next year, or whether they will be alive, so slave traders have always been the most realistic, only accepting cash.
But Shi Lei still didn't have enough money on hand to spend the money, he was just pretending to be out to quell the rebellion, when he was fighting, how could he run around with a large amount of gold and silver, and he didn't know that he would stay here in Lingnan at that time.
Although he has also told the caravan that ran from Chang'an to the front line of Guangzhou to escort enough gold and silver over after going back, but this time and again, it will take a few months, and it will also not be able to meet the needs of the moment. Shi Lei, who was in a hurry, almost hated to rob the capital.
"Alas, yes, we can rob it." Shi Lei's excited fist slammed into his palm, and this sudden voice startled the hunter uncle next to him.
"Who are you going to rob?" Uncle Hunter asked faintly.
"It's good to be black and eat black, go and rob those bandits and bandits, and you can also report your merits, let's just say that we have successfully cleaned up all the bandits in the territory, what do you think, uncle?" Shi Lei said with a smile and confidence, he was a little complacent about his inspiration.
The bandits here may be very strong in the face of a small team, or they may be very good at escaping in the face of a large number of bandit troops, so they can often fail in the encirclement and suppression of the army, but in the face of Shi Lei's powerful subordinates, none of their advantages exist.
Whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or the ability to cooperate, the elite under Shi Lei is under no pressure to crush the other party.
Even if the number of people on the other side is more than on his side, in the environment of Lingnan, the possibility of a real head-on decisive battle is not too great, but the possibility of ambush and small-scale contact is greater, and in these aspects, Shi Lei's subordinates are all good at a hundred, and they will not be stunned in the face of the land-sitting households here.
If they heard the reputation of Shi Lei's subordinates, they were frightened, and they chose to flee directly, then it would be fine, among Shi Lei's subordinates, there is also no shortage of tracking experts, and there are many animal helpers, so there is still no need to worry about letting them run away.
"If the harvest is still not enough, you can borrow some from Thorn Shi, or simply borrow from Feng An, and use my name to mortgage him." Shi Lei said with a smile.
"I think it's doable." Uncle Hunter pondered for a while, and felt that Shi Lei's proposal was really fine, and for the current situation, there was indeed no faster way than robbing money
Shi Lei often has all kinds of ideas, which can bring a lot of benefits, but that requires an operation process, and it has to be done by the initial capital, which is not suitable to solve the immediate needs.
It's better to do it like this, and it can also eliminate harm for the people by the way, and it is also a credit to report it, and Shi Lei of the province has been squatting in such a mess and then forgotten.
Uncle Hunter is a typical man of action, and after understanding Shi Lei's thoughts, he simply took the elite guards who came with him, and with the cooperation of the members of the special forces, began to carry out the deadliest sweep of the surrounding bandits.
But before leaving, Shi Lei made a special trip to tell him a few words, don't kill everyone, pick some more clever guys to stay.
Of course, the kind of bad behavior is okay, such as those who like to eat human flesh and like to catch children, this kind of perverted disgusting thing, it's better to die early and be born early, so you don't have to get yourself to come with you.
Those guys who are not bad deeds can consider giving them a different identity and a different life, such as becoming a dead soldier of the Shi family, which is a good choice.
Anyway, with the existence of the animal modification system, Shi Lei can also guarantee their loyalty, but their art industry is not so simple to buy, and it is also a point that those slaves cannot compare.
Most of the slaves who can be sold to Shi Lei are obedient and honest guys who have been trained, and if they want to use them as ordinary strong laborers, if they want to give them some combat effectiveness, they will need a long period of training and training.
Although they were basically used as laborers in the early days, it was still a bit wasteful in the long run. On the contrary, it is not as useful as these bandits with mature skills.
Moreover, since Shi Lei intends to treat Guangzhou as a big rear of his own family, and it is also an important retreat to operate, it is necessary to plant more of his own power in the surrounding mountains, forests and waterways, and these "dead people" who have all died in the name of the mountains are undoubtedly the most suitable dark power.
In this way, Shi Lei's practice of suppressing bandits can be said to be a good strategy to kill three birds with one stone, digging out their nest, which can not only solve the urgent need, collect a lot of thieves, but also increase Shi Lei's merits, improve his reputation, and cultivate some secret reserve forces for his own family, no matter how you think about it, it is a good idea.
