543 Dredging of river channels
Waiting for Jian Thirteen to leave, Lu Zhicai showed excitement on his face, "Well, it seems that many laborers have the idea of joining the army, not bad, really good." ”
In fact, it can be understood that from various channels, many ordinary people know that the treatment of the soldiers in Golden Scale City is excellent, and they don't have to fight, and they don't want to join the army under this condition, so it's really a bad brain.
Another point, the workers on the construction site know better, it is said that the soldiers under the county master can eat enough, and there are even small dried fish to eat, so what else do you say, you have to follow it.
"Five Cities Terracotta Division." Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, "On average, there are three thousand people stationed in each city, no, four thousand should not be much, this is forty or fifty or twenty thousand soldiers." ”
Lu Zhi pinched his fingers, the gap was not small, and his ability to control the other four cities was still very weak, or almost none, so the problem of the source of troops could only be solved on the side of Golden Scale City.
"Hey, that's a real hassle." It's not just about recruiting, it's about training, it's really not an easy task.
Lu Zhi smiled, "Fortunately, I can still hang up!" ”
…………
But he said that on You Hai's side, after the fish came ashore, he didn't stay long, and left with the fleet early in the morning, and he was on a mission this time.
It can be seen from the shocked attitude of the people of Golden Scale City that the ships of You Hai's fleet are still very large, and all the way from the capital to Golden Scale City, they will naturally encounter many difficult waterways.
The waterway is not easy to walk, You Hai naturally told Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi made a decision, not afraid, the waterway is difficult to walk, let's repair it, and said something about the Jingjin Grand Canal or something.
You Hai doesn't know anything about the Grand Canal, but he still understands the dredging of the river, isn't it, with a large amount of silver supported by Lu Zhi, he began to implement it here.
One thing to say, since one hundred and ten big boats have already traveled once, it means that the situation of the river is okay, at least it can be walked.
Even so, the Tsing Yi Gang and a few crew members still can't do anything, so they need to hire someone to help.
Isn't it, now that he has walked to the first narrow river, You Hai sent someone to communicate with the silver taels.
Who to talk to? Naturally, it is a water bandit.
Not to mention, seventy percent of such narrow rivers are occupied by bandits, and in some places bandits will even artificially block the rivers in order to facilitate the interception of boats and extortion.
"Lord You, the bandits disagreed, and they deducted all the money." A crew member handed over the news, and it was neat and presentable.
Hey, you have to look good, because You Hai is not an ordinary person now, he already has an official status.
Before leaving Golden Scale City, Lu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, appointed You Hai as the centurion of the navy, and his capable crew members could also join the navy on their own, and they were all registered regular troops.
In other words, in addition to the income from going to sea, they also have a military salary as a base.
One thing to say, Lu Zhi has never treated his own people badly, and buying people's hearts is a matter of rigidity.
…………
"Haha~~~" When he heard that the communication was not smooth, You Hai was happy, "It's okay, so that we can justifiably suppress the bandits!" ”
"Yes!"
However, it was said that You Hai gave an order, and one hundred and ten big ships changed their flags, from the caravan flag printed with the symbol of the god craftsman Lu to the military flag of Golden Scale City.
As soon as the flag was changed and the drums were beaten, the brothers of the Tsing Yi Gang were immediately excited.
That's right, we have so many people here, and there are many masters, why give in everywhere? It's long the fucking time to do it.
Oh, no, there is one thing that needs to be corrected, since it is on the ship, the Tsing Yi Gang has to follow the local customs, and now it should be called the Cao Gang - the Tsing Yi Cao Gang.
One drum, the Tsing Yi Cao Gang went down the mountain like a tiger, two drums, the water bandits struggled to resist, and the three drums, all the water bandits were taken.
During the whole process, it can be said that the water bandits did not make a splash at all.
But it's normal, the Tsing Yi Gang is the largest gang in the capital, and its strength is absolutely super strong, but what about the water bandits? To put it mildly, it's just a group of rabble, a group of people who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard.
"Brother You Hai, no, Lord You, we have arrested the leader of the water bandits." Several leaders of the Tsing Yi Gang laughed, and each person wore a rope to wear the captured water bandits into strings.
"Haha, good!" You Hai looked at it with great interest, the leader of the bandits was a little black fat man, and he had a big belly, "What kind of black stripe are you in the waves?" ”
The white stripe in the waves is used as a metaphor for a person's water nature is very good, and the white stripe is a kind of fish, which is often called silver carp, and the speed is very fast.
And what about this water bandit leader, he is always dangling in the river, so he tanned, and you say that it is not suitable to call it a white stripe, so he made a nickname for a black stripe in the waves.
"Yes, yes, the little one." The leader of the bandits had a flattering look on his face, "My lord, I really didn't know that you were the imperial army, if we had known, we wouldn't have ......."
"Hmph, won't you deduct my money?" You Hai snorted coldly, and he was angry.
The black stripe in the waves "chuckled" in his heart, he secretly regretted it, regretted not at the beginning, you said, why didn't you hold back your greed?
"My lord, I really don't know." You Hai didn't speak, the black stripe in the waves couldn't help but say, he tried his best to explain, but he had no culture, and he really couldn't say one, two, three.
"Stop, stop~~~" You Haiyi waved his hand, "Don't be noisy, let me ask you, do you have to do something if you accept someone else's money?" ”
As soon as the black stripes in the waves heard that there was still a delay in this matter, he hurriedly said yes, "The rules of the rivers and lakes, collecting money and doing things, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
You Hai nodded, "It's reasonable, okay, then you can take someone to dredge the river, our big boat is leaving." ”
"This ......" The black stripe in the waves turned dark, unwilling to agree, dredged the river, how can they block the road and rob in the future?
Note that a black face here is an adjective, not that his face is really black, to be honest, the black bars in this wave are too black, and they can't be blacker anymore.
"What? Don't want to? You Hai tilted his head, and a member of the Tsing Yi gang pulled out his waist knife, and it was compared to the neck of the black stripe in the waves.
"Yes, hehe, how could you not want to?"
People are knives and I am fish and meat, what can I do with black bars in the waves? He could only agree aggrievedly.
This little black fat man still wants to do something beautiful, but when these people are gone, they will block the river again, and they will do the same business when the time comes.
However, this is impossible, You Hai has already been instructed by Lu Zhi, so that he can recruit more water bandits and water bandits along the way and expand the team.
In fact, the black stripes in the waves are simply routine.
Tell me, how can anyone go to a bandit's den with real money?
You Hai is not stupid, he is simply arousing the greed of the water bandits, and then taking the opportunity to send troops to suppress the bandits, and then use force to force the water bandits to open the river and dredge.
Hey, it's all one ring after another, it's all a routine.
