For many people, three days is just a cycle of a few meals or a few sleeps, regardless of the era, for those who have nothing to do.

But for Luo, who always feels the pressure on his shoulders, it is completely the opposite.

For three days, the people in the south Zhuangzi of Bianjing City were driven by him like a little donkey tied to the millstone.

Of course, the results of busyness are also significant.

First of all, the original crude and simple Zhuang Yuan, which had no defense facilities, built three net-like defenses, as well as four escape routes in different directions, and finally laid out, although this Zhuang Yuan could not be said to be impregnable, at least it could withstand the full attack of the three or five thousand Song forbidden army for two hours;

Secondly, the people who were driven away were not only digging the permafrost to build defenses, but also nearly a third of the people were scattered, and these people were scattered in groups of two or three people in different directions of Bianjing City. Their task was simple: to wander within a 500-meter radius of their respective residences and record everything they saw and heard, and to send a message to them if someone attacked the village in the south of the city, and they would fan the flames in all corners of the city.

Thirdly, in the newly built houses near the canal bank in the village, several storefronts for collecting grain were completed, not only the fabrication of the storefronts, but also the wooden docks on the riverbank and the measuring tools for purchasing grain.

Once these three items were completed, Luo Kaixian breathed a sigh of relief.

In a wooden house at the mouth of the river, the fire is blazing in the middle of the brazier, and a copper kettle is bracketed above the brazier, and the water is already boiling.

Luo Kaixian held the wooden handle on the kettle, quite carefully avoided the air duct hanging above the brazier, and poured the hot water in the kettle into the celadon teapot that had been filled with tea leaves, and the hand-fried tea leaves overflowed with bursts of tea fragrance under the washing of boiling water.

While comfortably savoring the unique natural atmosphere of this era, while continuing to rinse the tea cup with water, Luo Kaixian looked up at the Bulgarian who had just walked into the house, and greeted: "Helton, the trap in the south has been adjusted?" ”

"Yes, Lord, except for some seepage...... "The Bulgarian threw himself wearily into his newly-made chair, his eyes now bloodshot with the deep shrewdness of his former days.

"Grab a cup of tea and refresh yourself!" Putting down the kettle and lifting the teapot, Luo Kai poured a cup of tea first, pushed it to the other party on the table, and continued: "Don't worry about water seepage, four steps wide, two people deep trap, if the water seeps, it will only become a puddle or a quagmire, don't worry about collapsing, if someone attacks from the south, they will only drown in the mud except for detouring......"

"What if they brought a long log to build the bridge?" Holding the crystal clear celadon tea cup in both hands, smelling the wafting fragrance of tea, Helton asked very seriously.

"As soon as the weather warms up, the soil in the south becomes soft...... You know what happens then, and if someone does try to do it with a log, they will be suppressed with an archer, or...... Throwing two cans of fire oil over, what are you worried about? "In front of his subordinates, the biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to speak awkward official dialect anymore, Luo Kaixian can explain in Latin and Chinese at will, even if his Latin is still not very fluent.

Because in the courtyard of his house, Helton's dark brown curls were not tied up, but casually draped behind his head, he was wearing a wide oriental robe, sitting upright from the chair, he learned the oriental style, twisted the wide cuffs in one hand, grabbed the teacup with the other, took a tentative sip, and then sighed almost in enjoyment, and then replied: "General, I am not worried about the trap in the south, but the general...... Lord, you are of the Eastern race, why do you face the same race...... It's also tough, not in a negotiated way......"

Helton's performance was not so deferential, but Luo Kaixian didn't care—in his opinion, it was enough to put something like respect in his heart, and he didn't think he needed it, at least not now, that kind of formal deference.

And...... More importantly, with the passage of time, perhaps because of mental power, or perhaps due to the continuous verification of psychological knowledge, he began to have a kind of ability similar to the sixth sense of the tendency of the human heart, at least whether the person facing him in person has malicious intent, he can clearly perceive it.

At this moment, in the face of Helton's question, Luo Kaixian said very relaxedly: "Helton, you are Bulgarian, in Bulgaria, can commoners be friends with nobles?" ”

"General, I'm a Seris now!" Helton didn't answer Luo Kaixian's question, but said seriously with bloodshot eyes.

"Ah, it's my fault, you're a Seris now." Luo Kai was stunned for a moment before affirming Helton's words in an equally serious tone.

"In Bulgaria, commoners can only be commoners, nobles will always be nobles, and commoners and nobles can never become friends." Helton didn't pay any attention to Luo Kaixian's slip of the tongue, and continued to answer the previous question.

"Aha......" got the expected answer, and the expression on Luo Kaixian's face was even more relaxed, "Why?" ”

"Uh-huh, what? General, are you asking why commoners and nobles can never become friends? It was rare to see his own general look so relaxed, and Helton was a little ignorant for a while.

Luo Kaixian didn't say anything, but signaled that Helton was right by leisurely drinking tea.

Helton was silent for a while, somewhat confused, before replying tentatively, "Because most of the commoners are stupid, vulgar, and ignorant, and don't even know how to write, and ...... Civilians have no money, no weapons......"

Luo Kaixian didn't give a positive answer to the question, and the purpose of his question was not this, but instead asked, "Olki, they should live in the house arranged by the Honglu Temple now, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord." Although he was a little confused by the jumpy nature of Luo Kaixian's words, Helton still answered seriously.

"Yesterday Alki came back from the message, and he has handed over the credentials to the Song Sect Province, right?" Luo Kaixian once again confirmed the latest information to Helton.

"Yes, Lord." With Luo Kaixian's questioning, Helton vaguely felt the context of his general's words, and he replied affirmatively.

Luo Kaixian nodded, looked up into Helton's eyes, and said seriously: "What if...... Helton, think about it, if we can't prove that we are strong enough, will Olki live in the house arranged by the Honglu Temple? Would the ministers of the Song State accept the credentials? ”

“…… Potest①！ No! Helton pondered for a while, fully understanding his master's thoughts.

The dialogue of unifying thoughts and understanding is actually not interesting, if it weren't for the fact that he felt that everything was beginning to become regular, Luo Kaixian really didn't have the leisure to explain these to his subordinates - he still retained the habit of the army in later generations, that is, he needed the absolute obedience of his subordinates.

Obviously, this practice cannot be applied to all occasions, but fortunately, with the subtle advancement of time, many of his habits are gradually changing.

Cleaning up the tea set on the table, Luo Kai first took out a parchment notebook from the wooden shelf behind him, on which a list of all the affairs that had been arranged recently. When he looked up at his subordinates again, he noticed the tiredness of Helton, who was not strong, "Helton, your face is not very good, you need to rest for two days?" ”

Helton rubbed his forehead, cheered up and replied, "No, Lord! I can hold on! ”

Nodding his head, he pushed the sheepskin book in front of Helton, and Luo Kaixian said: "In the past few days, we have strengthened our defenses, there are too many things, and it will be much better after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, after all, ...... There are still seven days left for the traditional New Year in the East, and no one will fight when the festival comes, and neither will the Song people, so they can rest more...... This book is recorded in the recent business arrangements and personnel placement list, if there is a need to adjust, you control! Do you have any questions? ”

Helton listened carefully to every word Luo Kaixian said, until Luo Kaixian asked, then sat up straight and shouted, "No, general!" ”

"Good!" Luo Kaixian also sat up straight, "In Lingzhou, Gonzas and Ark are already paying attention to cultivating deputies, otherwise there are too many things, and one person can't finish it, you also have to cultivate a few people who can stand alone, and the future ...... In the future, we won't have only one place in Lingzhou, Heldon...... Do you understand? ”

Helton's bloodshot brown eyes instantly became shining, "Yes, Lord, Heldon understands!" ”

In front of smart people, there is no need to say too much nonsense, Luo Kai stood up first, and explained casually: "Recently, I will walk around, trying to contact some big grain merchants to sell grain to us, Helton, if you have something you can't decide, feel free to find me...... Oh, by the way, there's also a chart in that notebook that records the purchase of grain, you have to learn it! ”

"Yes, Lord!" Helton agreed.

Luo Kaixian is not worried that this guy will not be able to do what he said, in fact, there are few of these people selected from the gladiator camp that make him feel uneasy, and the reason is very simple, no one wants to face everything anymore after breaking away from the precarious place of the Colosseum.

The trivial things of the past few days finally came to an end, not only did Helton's tired red and swollen eyes, but even Luo Kaixian's strengthened physique felt tired for a long time.

That kind of exhaustion is not physical for Luo Kaixian, but comes from the mind and spirit, facing such a huge imperial center of the Song State alone, even if Luo Kaixian is a military elite from later generations, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do it.

At this moment, in addition to the care and comfort of people who know him, he urgently needs an assistant who can help him pick up the missing pieces, but can such a wish be realized?
