Chapter 475: Li Shuqu
Although these deaf-mute and blind people are physically handicapped, they have advantages that normal people do not have, and their biggest advantage is that they are less likely to divulge secrets.
You must know that the deaf-mute and the blind are a minority in the crowd after all, often there is only one person or none in a village, and because they are different from normal people, they cannot communicate with others normally, so they are often discriminated against, and over time they will form a relatively withdrawn character.
When encountering things, there are no friends to confide in, and they can't confide in them, so they hold it in their hearts and then form a habit, and this characteristic happens to be especially suitable for probing and passing on information, without worrying that they will leak it.
These physically handicapped people, who have endured the warmth and coldness of human affection, are more resistant to stress than ordinary people, are better able to adapt to special tasks, and, once given enough respect, will flatter them, and then willingly swear allegiance without dissent.
The reason why Hua'an wants to set up the deaf and dumb hall and the blind hall is not only to show his love for the people like children, but also to select elites from these special groups of people and form a special army.
Of course, nothing can be rushed, and the task at present is to first gather all the deaf and blind people in the territory, so that they can first adapt themselves to the life of the deaf and blind halls, find a sense of happiness and belonging, and then, further redouble their favors, and carry out all kinds of education and training, so that qualified personnel can be incorporated into special units for their own drive.
After Hua'an arranged the deaf-mute hall and the blind hall, Madang, who was ordered to return, arrived in Nanzheng City, and Hua'an hurriedly met Madang. and asked Ma Dang to take the lead in setting up a decision-making body of the Assassin Mansion to share various things for himself, Ma Dang naturally gently refused, but under Hua'an's repeated requests, Ma Dang had to reluctantly agree to Hua'an.
Subsequently, Ma Dang selected a group of authoritative talents from the officials at all levels and the major scholars in Liangzhou, and formed a staff member of the Assassin's Mansion to deal with all kinds of complicated things, so as to share the worries of Hua'an.
A month later. The weather is getting colder. At this time, it was already winter, and all kinds of plants and trees in the mountains and rivers of Liangzhou began to wither, and some small rivers also dried up, revealing the cracked mud at the bottom of the river. Occasionally, there will be some small puddles. Inside, there are a handful of small fish struggling to survive.
In this season of depression. Hua An led a group of soldiers to hunt in the mountains near Nanzheng, and personally felt the barrenness and vastness of Liangzhou, and a lot of land was barren because of the uneven terrain and the difficulty of irrigation. If these lands can be leveled and brought into the river, then countless fertile fields will emerge from Liangzhou, which will greatly enhance the strength of Liangzhou.
There were still a lot of wild beasts in the mountains, and Hua An and his soldiers shot a lot of game, and roasted them on the top of a fairly flat mountain, ready for a picnic.
The crackling sound of burning wood and the aroma of the game being grilled are mouth-watering.
Hua An picked up a piece of barbecue and ate it with good wine, feeling so comfortable.
Looking at the surrounding mountains, Hua'an has a familiar feeling, yes, this place is very similar to Jiang Mountain on the outskirts of Jiankang City in Jiangnan, although the environment is much different from here, but the countless mountains and trees are the same, at first glance, there is not much difference.
"There are so many delicate ...... rivers and mountains" Looking at the Guangrou mountains, Hua An's heart couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, and he silently recited the poem in his heart.
"Big brother, big brother." At this moment, Wang San rode his horse and galloped over.
Hua An stood up and said with a smile: "It is said that the tip of the cat's nose is sharp, my barbecue has just been cooked, and you will arrive, come, eat a piece." As he spoke, he handed Wang San a piece of freshly roasted game.
Wang San stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Big brother, Xie Siming is back, and he also brought back a few people, saying that he is Li Bing's descendant, who seems to be very powerful." ”
"Oh, Xie Siming is back, and he also brought back Li Bing's descendants, okay, it's really good, you eat first, I'll go back to see them immediately." Hua An threw away the game that had already been gnawed on more than half of his hand and strode towards the war horse.
Xie Siming is a talented person, and when he left him, he said that he was going to visit the masters of Shuzhong, so the talents he brought back this time were naturally the masters of Shuzhong's seclusion, and Hua'an's name for Li Bing was like thunder, and I believe that his descendants would not be far behind.
"Big brother, don't worry, Xie Siming saw that the eldest brother was not in the Assassin Mansion, so he took these people out of the city first, saying that he wanted to check the nearby terrain." Seeing that Hua An was in a hurry to return to the Assassin's Mansion, Wang San hurriedly added.
Hua An stopped when he heard this, paused, and said, "When they go out of the city to check the terrain, they will definitely pass through a place, you rest first, and I will go to greet Lord Xie and his party." As he spoke, he stepped on his horse and galloped away, followed by his own soldiers.
"Big brother, wait for me." Wang San stuffed the barbecue meat in his mouth as he spoke, and kicked out the bonfire, then turned over and chased after Hua'an.
Hua'an and his party traveled about ten miles, and sure enough, they met Xie Siming and his party at the predetermined position, and accelerated forward.
"Lord Xie has worked hard all the way, who are these people?" Huaan first greeted Xie Siming and greeted the people around him.
Xie Siming smiled, pointed to a middle-aged man behind him, and said softly: "General Hua, this is Mr. Li Shuqu, and the next few are also the talents of the Li family." ”
"I've seen General Hua below." Li Shuqu and a few people behind him clasped their fists and saluted Hua'an.
"Everyone's worked hard all the way, welcome, welcome! Ha ha! Hua An hurriedly clenched his fists in return.
Subsequently, Xie Siming introduced Li Shuqu's background in detail, and said that Li Shuqu was moved by Hua'an's plan to benefit the people, so he decided to go out to help the people, so as to build water conservancy and develop agriculture in Liangzhou to benefit the people.
For the arrival of Li Shuqu, Hua'an was naturally very happy, and asked some simple water conservancy knowledge, Li Shuqu knew everything, answered in an orderly manner, and did not have the slightest confusion, so that Hua'an sighed, at the same time, also confirmed that Li Shuqu is indeed a water conservancy talent, and determined to reuse.
As soon as he arrived in Nanzheng, Li Shuqu led the family's Junjie to the vicinity of Nanzheng to inspect the terrain, and he didn't even take care of rest, which made Hua'an feel that Li Shuqu was a hard-working and responsible talent, and it was most suitable to give him the task of building water conservancy and cultivating fertile land.
On the way to Nanzheng, Li Shuqu has inspected many mountains and rivers in Liangzhou along the way, and compared them with the topographic map of the mountains and rivers in Shuzhou handed down by his family, and initially thought about the plan to build water conservancy, so as to have a good idea.
He looked at Li Shuqu and asked softly: "At present, Liangzhou is withering, building water conservancy and cultivating more fertile land is the most urgent task. ”
Hearing this, Li Shuqu thought for a while, and said: "General, it is early winter, the river is dry, the weather is not too cold, it is the best time to dredge the ditch and remove the silt. ”
Hua An nodded and said softly: "Right now, Liangzhou is withering, all industries are waiting to be developed, and there are many places where you need money!" There is not a lot of manpower in Liangzhou, so let's send 100,000 manpower and 10,000 taels of silver first! How many acres of fertile land do you think you can cultivate? After speaking, he looked at Li Shuqu.
Li Shuqu made a rough calculation according to the manpower and money provided by Hua'an, and replied softly: "General, the terrain of Liangzhou is complex, and it is not easy to level the land and reclaim the ditches. ”
"Ten thousand hectares of fertile land, great, I think that when I was in Jiangnan, there were two tuntian places in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, but it was only ten thousand hectares of fertile land, but it was a lot of hard work." When Hua An heard this, he was very excited.
Li Shuqu nodded, and said softly: "General, Liangzhou has a vast territory, if it is scattered and cultivated, it will be a waste of manpower and financial resources, it is better to concentrate all efforts, first reclaim the land in Hanzhong, and after Hanzhong County is reclaimed, and then gradually reclaim to other counties, in order to predict that the entire territory of Liangzhou can be reclaimed 100,000 hectares of fertile land, but it will take a little time." ”
"Okay, according to what Mr. said, first make every effort to develop Hanzhong County, and then develop other counties, Mr. came from afar, rest for a few days, and then you can start construction immediately, in terms of manpower and money, I will let Lord Madang of the Thorn Mansion be fully responsible, and Mr. just do a big job." Huaan said loudly.
Li Shuqu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to wait for a few days, early tomorrow morning, I will take the people of the clan to investigate the terrain of Hanzhong everywhere, so as to formulate a plan to level the land and build a new ditch as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this, Hua An nodded, and said, "Okay!" In terms of the construction of new ditches, I will listen to Mr. Those, and I will start construction tomorrow and do a big job. ”
"Don't worry, general, I will go all out." Li Shuqu Zhengse accepted the order.
After chatting casually about some things about water conservancy, Hua'an took Li Shuqu, Xie Siming and others, rode back to Nanzheng City, and immediately arranged accommodation for Li Shuqu and his party, so that these people could live in Nanzheng with peace of mind. (To be continued......)
