093 Everything is going on
These subordinates of Liuhuo are really not bad, and their execution is absolutely first-class. Daydream held a meeting with all the civil officials that night, and conveyed the blacksmith recruitment order of Lord Driftfire, and offered a high price of up to 10 gold coins per month according to the level of the blacksmith.
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and all the people of Peishui who have talked about the hammer have come to sign up, and Daydream simply put out the ring and let the blacksmiths try their skills. In the end, fifty genuine blacksmiths were selected, and all those who were indiscriminate were driven away.
The work of forming an army was relatively simple, and the situation of these recruits was in his belly, and he selected more than a hundred loyal and reliable soldiers to enter the swamp and set up camp in advance.
In the end, Zuo Panyu only brought nine awakened people, and after disguise, he took the map given to them by the flowing fire and went to the grassland.
Liuhuo was not idle, he ran to Wugang with an iron abacus, secretly opened a cargo station, and was ready to start doing business with Brother Zhongli. Although Liuhuo has a small amount of savings, the army is a monster that swallows money, and who knows if his little family wealth is enough.
Fortunately, with the secret help of the Hou family, the cargo station was quickly built, and it was also connected with Zhongli's butler.
During this time, Liuhuo was very relieved, because Hou Wen had already sent him a message. Li Feiyang and Yu Qilin have been transferred to the front line in the vast mountains, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back for a year and a half.
This period of time is the safest stage of Liuhuo, and it is a good time for him to develop and build.
On the one hand, Liuhuo's mind was on the construction of a secret blast furnace in the swamp, and on the other hand, he urged the iron abacus to build his own trade route. He also sent a box of water jade to Suzaku and asked Suzaku to hand it over to Master Tongxuan.
It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, let's get the relationship done first.
This time Liuhuo really realized what it means to be busy. The affairs of the mines, the bases in the swamps, the management of the trade routes, the interaction with the forces in the Creation Gate, and of course, the management of the people on both sides of the Peishui River.
If it weren't for the help of a large number of civil officials, Liuhuo would probably have died of exhaustion.
Daydream is the leader of all civil officials, and these civil officials are all dug out by him from the original administrative system of Chu State, as long as the price is high enough, what kind of talent can't be dug up.
Some people are happy, some people are worried, and now the county officials of Peishui County have turned white.
The county seat is located in the northeast corner of the entire Peishui County, and it may be that people saw that it was next to the official road at the beginning, so the county seat was built here.
It is a pity that the water jade mine is located in the southwest corner of Peishui County, and the administrative center and economic center of the entire Peishui County are separated, becoming two top-to-top patterns.
It's the top of the top, it's a big deal, the old man works harder, and when he collects taxes, he runs a little more, anyway, he can't be tired of the official master.
But this year, it won't work, and the water jade mine has changed owners. An awakened person named Flowing Fire was so unruly that he actually took away the management of the Chu State Government and governed the people himself.
The county official is a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Nguyen Thanh Van . is a typical scholar, full of official authority in front of the people, but when he encounters the Creation Gate, he will lie on his stomach.
In the past year, Ruan Wen didn't know how many submissions he had written to Tiandu City, but unfortunately they were all lost in the sea and there was no news.
Fortunately, this young man named Liuhuo only took away the management rights on both sides of Peishui, and he didn't have much interest in the plains to the north, which made Ruan Xian Ling more or less able to manage the people.
It's just that this big county actually let people snatch two-thirds of it at once, and this can't be balanced in my heart.
The most annoying thing is that the water jade mine actually paid a high salary to poach people from their own hands, and they took away a lot of their copywriters and masters. Now there are few lifeless people in the entire county office, and there are few people who can breathe.
Ruan Wen sat in the hall sighing, and the bald master beside him waited carefully. Now Ruan Wen has this master in his hands.
It's not that the bald master is so loyal to him, it's just that his hands are too long, and his reputation for greedy money has spread to the mines, and he will be asked for him in daydreams. When I touched the gray master, I was angry in my heart, and it became more and more unpleasant to look at the mine.
"My lord, I can't go on like this. More than half of the population and land were taken away by the guy called Drifting Fire. But he was not satisfied, and he came up with all kinds of tricks..."
"During this time, the poor sticks in the north have all gone over there to beg for a living, and there are fewer and fewer people under our rule..."
The bald master's words resonated. A group of people sitting in the room expressed their indignation.
"That's right, sir. Now the whole family of the tenants is running south, and they would rather go there and live with the homeless people than stay at home. My fields have been abandoned..."
"Yes, yes. Not to mention farming, even the blacksmiths are robbed, some time ago they did something, the blacksmith competition, and the three good blacksmiths in our county were poached, and now there is no one in the county to make iron..."
"Don't talk about you, even I, a petty trader, can't survive. In the past, you could get some scattered water jade from the mine through connections, and you could make money by selling it casually, but unfortunately it doesn't work now. My lord, we all have an adult's share in the business, can you ignore us..."
It seems that the people sitting in this house are all big families from all walks of life in Peishui County, including landlords, workshop owners, and merchants.
These people have always relied on the local government, and they made a lot of money when they didn't come in the past. It's a pity that it can't be done now, the administrative power is in the hands of the flowing fire, and they don't have the sweetness to eat.
It is said that these goblins and goblins are not blind to the general trend. They also want to put it into the system of Lord Driftfire. Even if Lord Flowing Fire can't climb it, can his subordinates still not be able to climb it?
But this thing is still evil, and they really met a bunch of nerds.
Lord Flowing Fire's subordinates really didn't eat anything fishy.
In desperation, they could only gather under the command of the old club, hoping that the Chu State Government could give some strength and strive for some benefits.
Thinking of it, even the royal family was reluctant to interfere in this matter.
Since there was no one to help them, they saved themselves. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing our parents, and you kill our parents by flowing fire, so don't blame us for being vicious.
As a result, under the leadership of the bald master, everyone secretly made contact with a group of people. With the help of these local snakes, the Peishui chaos will become so serious.
How good did those people promise at the beginning, let everyone play with their lives to provoke conflicts between the displaced people and the aborigines, and it is better to have rivers of blood and dead bodies everywhere.
Things are not afraid of being big, as long as they are big enough, they are so big that the flowing fire can't cover them up, and the elders in the Creation Gate can't see it. At that time, you can easily kick the drift fire away.
It's a pity, the plan is not as good as the change, no one expected it, it was only three days after the flowing fire rushed back from outside, and the situation immediately stabilized.
Not only has it stabilized, but this flow of fire has also won people's hearts, and all the plans have come to naught.
Not only did the plan come to naught, but even the big names who contacted them at the beginning disappeared.
Now these chickens in the soup have to get together by themselves, hoping that the flowing fire will not find them, so that they can survive the catastrophe safely.
In the end, it was Lord Ruan who was the most calm, and the kung fu of years of studying and cultivating qi was not practiced in vain.
"Don't make any noise, aren't you just afraid that the matter will be revealed? You have a gun and a stick, and you want to pull me in? I don't know what you have in your eyes..."
"Okay, don't worry too much, the Creation Gate agreed with our Chu State a hundred years ago that the mortal world should be managed by our government, and the awakened cannot interfere. That Drift Fire violated the rules first, and he still dares to trouble us?"
"It is estimated that this flowing fire has used favors, and the emperor has given him face. If he dares to come nonsense, the emperor will bring out the golden book agreed upon back then, and even the Creation Gate will have to abide by it..."
"We manage our mortals, whether it is right or wrong, they have no reason to interfere. Even if the matter is revealed, we are reasonable, and the law of our Chu State is naturally under the control of the law of our Chu State, so can we still let him interfere?"
"It's all gone, it's gone, go home and sleep in peace. But don't be crooked, let's take a look at the situation first, and think about it in the long run..."
Not to mention, the official master is extraordinary. The words made everyone feel at ease, and they all said goodbye and went home.
When everyone left, the master asked quietly.
"My lord, are you really sure?"
After watching these rich men leave, Lord Ruan sat down in his chair as if his bones had been pulled out.
"Let's take a look first, let's take a look first, I hope this Drifting Fire Lord is a rule-abiding person..."
The master knew that Lord Ruan of his family was actually Prime Minister Wang's lackey, and he had already known the identity and details of Liuhuo, but he was a well-known inner disciple, how could the royal family of Chu State offend him.
What kind of bullshit hundred-year-old agreement, it manages the outer disciples, where can the ancestors of the inner door be managed.
However, the Prime Minister also said that there are many enemies in this fire. Perhaps, maybe it won't be long before his opponent has already made him disappear, and then won't this Peishui County come back again?
Thinking of this, Lord Ruan's eyes lit up again.
Lord Ruan is a smart man, but there are still people who are smarter than him. In an inconspicuous warehouse in the county town, a big man covered in blood was lying on the ground, looking at the burly figure, he knew that this kid was not a good stubble.
But why is this big man lying there crying his nose?
Who were the two people sitting across from him?
If only the fire was there, he would definitely be surprised that the blind man Wang actually had such momentum.
It turned out that it was Wang Blind and Yang Fan who were sitting there.
At this time, the blind man was looking at the big man kindly, and he communicated with him in the gentlest tone. Yang Fan next to him, staring at the blind man Wang with shining eyes, looked like a good student.
"Ah Rong, why did you just ask me why I beat you? Do you ask that? How can you ask such a childish question?" The blind man's tone was extremely gentle, like an old grandfather kindly reasoning with his own grandson.
"You are the famous Brother Rong of our Peishui County, don't all the brothels, casinos, and smugglers listen to you?
