"Alas, I said Lao Zhang, have you heard of it, the city lord said that he wants to dredge the nullah today!"

"It's really fake, it won't be another look, I haven't seen the requisition in the past two days, how is he going to dredge it? Do you dig it by hand? ”

"Our city lord does what he says, and there are a lot of ways, maybe there is a way, I just saw him take Suzaku Wei to the outside of the city, let's go over and see, if we really dredge the nullah to solve the drought, our harvest this year will not be guaranteed!"

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

As the four big ones walked out of the city with fanfare, more and more people followed, and when they arrived at the nullah outside the city, almost all the people who farmed the land came out, and everyone was very curious about how the four people wanted to dredge the nullah.

Finding a relatively tall small dirt bag, Ying Xiaosi stood at the top and looked at the dense crowd below, he knew that everything he did in the early stage was foreshadowing, and today's things were the key, as long as he got things done today, he won Xiaosi in the Lion City to really have a foundation.

"Luo Cheng! Phalanx! ”

"Command!"

The dull sound of the horn sounded slowly, and the team that had originally become a long snake quickly assembled, and before the horn ended, a neat phalanx appeared in front of everyone, and the momentum of slaughter hovered over the phalanx, and the feeling of suffocation lingered in the hearts of every people, and even the birds were frightened to bypass here.

Win Xiaosi nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that Ji Xiu was really not adulterated, and all that was left was elite, otherwise ordinary troops would not have such momentum.

"I have gathered you here today just to let you know one thing, as a soldier, it is your duty to protect your family and defend the country! This mission has been in your bones since the first day you put on armor and carry a gun, but have you ever wondered where your roots are! ”

Ying Xiaosi stretched out his hand, pointed at the people around him, and said loudly: "Our food, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all based on the hard work of these people!" In wartime, we fought hard to protect the people, and the people did their best to support us, but in this time of peace, we don't have to work hard, but these people have never lost a penny from us! ”

"From today onwards, I declare that the garrison of the Lion City will regularly carry out the construction and maintenance of public facilities in the city in addition to the training on weekdays, and will no longer be requisitioned for conscription unless there are special circumstances, and in addition, all soldiers participating in the labor will be compensated according to the workload of all the registered and compensated with the corresponding silver taels, which may not be much, but it is counted as income other than military salaries, and this part of the silver money is provided by the Lion City Foundation!"

"That's all I have to say! Do you have any objections? ”

Listening to Ying Xiaosi's words, there was a faint sound of conversation among the soldiers below, there has never been a precedent for letting soldiers go out of labor, and there is another point, the Vermilion Bird Guard in the Lion City is more special, he was directly transferred by the Vermilion Bird Army, although the treatment has not changed, but it has been reduced by half a level, so the soldiers are already a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and now they are let out of labor, although they are still not comfortable after all.

Ying Xiaosi did not speak, the ideological change of the army is necessary, the founder of the previous life has already explained a problem with facts, that is, the army rooted in the people is the most powerful! The Vermilion Bird Army is the army of the royal family, and it is born with nobility, what you have to do to win Xiaosi is to let him get stained with earthy smell, only the army that mingles with the people is his own army to win Xiaosi!

The discussion in the army quickly came to a conclusion, and Luo Cheng strode forward and replied, "Vermilion Bird Guard obeys the orders of the city lord!" ”

Predictable! Ying Xiaosi smiled and nodded, with the iron laws of the Suzaku Army's military regulations, he gambled that the army would resolutely carry out his orders even if they had opinions.

Waving his hand to the back, Suo Tu, who was wearing the uniform of the Su Chamber of Commerce, took the black barbarian warrior in the same costume to transport a cart of tools to the side of the nullah, Ying Xiaosi got off the dirt bag, and was the first to take the tools from the car, and then took off his boots, tucked the hem of the official uniform at his waist, and strode to the smelly mud to clean it up.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng hurriedly followed, Meng Liang led the team to disperse between the long nullahs, one team was responsible for cleaning, and the other team was responsible for transporting the silt to the fields.

As the general of the city guard, Cheng Xu had already received a report from the soldiers, at this moment he stood on the high city tower, looking at the hot scene at the nullah, and sighed long, to be honest, if the political position is removed, he Cheng Xu is absolutely sincere admiration for Win Xiaosi, Win Xiaosi does what Cheng Xu wants to do but dare not do, since becoming a new family supported by King Yan, they have long been gradually estranged from those poor people, although nominally on behalf of those low-level poor officials, But in fact, why not use them to become a new faction in the royal court!

"General, Little Grandpa Zhu has passed the news, his people are now trapped in the mansion by Win Xiaosi, if you don't fight back, I'm afraid you will be overtaken by Win Xiaosi, so Little Grandpa hopes that you can express your stance as soon as possible."

While thinking about it, the voice of the adjutant general suddenly came to my ears.

Cheng Xu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Then Zhu Weizhi is very talented, and several moves have been resolved by Ying Xiaosi one by one, and now that he has been blocked, he thinks of me?" ”

The adjutant general looked embarrassed and whispered: "Then, the general, why don't I reply to him first?" ”

Cheng Xu waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, I was going to mix in the middle and be left and right, but I didn't expect him to win the little four completely, and directly pushed me to Zhu Wei's side, now if I don't help him, he, Zhu Wei, is afraid that he will really be overtaken by the little four." In this way, if you take the city guards to the mansions of the various chief officials, you will say that it is best to assist in isolating the epidemic and replace the people who won the fourth year, and if not, maintain the status quo and secretly give some convenience to those people in the mansion. ”

"Yes, the last general commands!"

Looking at the departing figure of the deputy general, Cheng Xu once again set his eyes on the nullah outside the city, and his heart was full of mixed tastes.

Besides, Win Xiaosi outside the city, seeing that the atmosphere of the scene has been mobilized, and the people spontaneously came to the army with water and food, they knew that their goal had been achieved, and now they have initially established their prestige among the people, and then gradually stripped away the authority of those chief officials, plus the independence of financial power, the power of the Lion City has been controlled by more than half, as for the rest, it depends on Cheng Xu's attitude!
