Taihu Lake Shen clan was destroyed in one day!

The news spread, and the whole south shook!

To be more precise, the entire southern group of scholars was shocked.

When they reacted, they were naturally dissatisfied and angry.

"I thought it would be great to become Wu Hou, no scholar came forward to help, and there will be times when he cries in the future!"

"Hmph, the dignity of the scholars is inviolable, Wu Hou will suffer in the future!"

"Could it be that Wu Hou still dares to completely offend the Shi clan, let's wait for his follow-up actions!"

“……”

The scholar group was boiling, but Lei Hu was not affected in the slightest.

He really didn't plan to use the Shi clan to govern the place, if the population of 500,000 couldn't be easily handled, wouldn't his career as the first assistant in his previous life be in vain?

At present, the generals are disobedient and want to deal with the heroes who want to make trouble in secret, and then it is not too late to slowly govern the place, and now the people under the jurisdiction of Wu Hou are mainly recuperating.

Fortunately, both the Taihu Lake area and Qiantang County are rare and fertile lands, with dense water networks and fertile land, and most of them are plains and hilly terrain, which is very suitable for development and farming.

However, the limited fields that have been developed, most of the high-quality paddy fields are concentrated in the hands of local tyrants and scholars, and even if ordinary people have fields in their hands, they are basically dry lands that are not abundant.

More ordinary people have no land, so they can only become hard-pressed tenants, endure the repeated exploitation of local tycoons and scholars, as well as the government, and live a miserable life.

Let's just say that the Taihu Shen family, who had just been broken by him to defend the dock fort, and the benefits that his guards collected from the Shen family were simply shocking.

There are only 3,000 people in the Shen family, and most of them are young men and women, and only less than one-tenth of the elderly and children.

This is nothing, those world-famous gate valve families are amazing, whether it is in the official history or in the Tang Shuanglong plot world, Taiyuan Li Valve shot is an army of 100,000, where did these people come from?

As long as the brain is not broken, it is known that these 100,000 troops are the population hidden by the Li lord.

In terms of quantity alone, the warrior clans in the south are strong and strong, and they are far worse than the gate valve families in the north.

In addition, the collected fields are also measured in hectares, and the Shen family of Taihu Lake alone has hundreds of hectares of paddy fields, not including the hidden acres, as well as the shops in the city, the islands in the Taihu Lake, and other industries, the total number is quite amazing, enough to support an army of 1,000 people.

After breaking the Shenwu Fort in Taihu Lake, Lei Hu did not go on a killing spree.

It was also when the Shen Clan's Dock Fort was breached, the Shen Clan killed a few defensive soldiers, and after Lei Hu's guards poured in, whether they were second-rate masters or ordinary clan soldiers, they all didn't dare to have the slightest idea of resisting, otherwise Lei Hu's guards wouldn't mind sending them to the West Heaven.

The number of trained young men alone, whether they are from the Shen clan or the hidden Qingzha, exceeds five hundred, and the number of women in the prime of life is at least close to one thousand.

In Lei Hu's eyes, this is a labor team with quite good potential, and he doesn't want to waste it in vain, so he kills it cleanly.

Not to mention that he is not so murderous, with Lei Hu's amazing martial arts, and he is not worried about the revenge of these captives in the future, it is better to squeeze the surplus value of these captives for now.

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

This principle applies to any era no matter where it is placed.

Lei Hu was the boss who presided over the Ministry of Industry in the world of Red Mansions in his previous life, and at the same time he also had the title of 'infrastructure madness', at this time he became Wu Hou, in charge of Taihu Lake and Qiantang County, how could he not engage in infrastructure construction and develop these two anointed places in advance?

The great development of the south was only thoroughly developed and matured during the Southern Song Dynasty, and by the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the south had become the grain production and financial and taxation center of the empire.

The Taihu Lake area and Qianchi County alone, as long as they are properly developed and rely on their own developed agriculture and technology, can completely feed more than 20 million people without any difficulty, and the standard of living is much better than that of the people in the north!

Since Lei Hu wanted to occupy land in the south and stand on his own, he has taken a fancy to the Taihu Lake region and Qiantang County, not to mention that both places can be obtained, as long as he gets one land, he can develop a population of 10 million and become a powerful force in the southern region.

As for the strategy of governing the local area and the construction plan, he has been thinking about it for a long time, and now it is time for concrete implementation, so it is natural to advance it in an orderly and gradual manner.

Sure enough, horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth!

Just take a small and not very famous Taihu Lake Shen clan, Lei Hu collected money, grain, cloth, population and fields and other materials and resources, which is enough to provide the initial funds for the development of the subordinate, and it can last longer if it saves a little money.

If you wait until the crops in the field start to harvest, you can last longer.

That is to say, Lei Hu is very rational and clear-minded, otherwise it is really possible that he can't resist the temptation and slaughter the powerful families of the noble clan under his jurisdiction.

If that is the case, regardless of whether there are serious consequences, the looted money, grain, and materials, as well as acres of mountains and forests, are estimated to be enough for the resources needed for the great development of the entire Wuhou jurisdiction.

It's a pity that the number of people under Lei Hu's rule is too small, and those warriors have been rooted in the place for many years, and once they want to resist and make trouble with all their might, the entire territory may be in chaos.

At that time, the Sui army, which had completely pacified the southern part of the country, might take advantage of the weakness to enter and call Lei Hu's self-reliance in the name of helping to pacify the localities.

On the list of prisoners of the Shen clan in Taihu Lake, Lei Hu was surprised to see a familiar name that was not very familiar: Shen Faxing!

This name is not unfamiliar to him who is familiar with the official history and the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it is the place where Yang Guang raised troops in Wu County after he was killed, but his ability is generally limited, and he was easily killed by the rest of the rebel forces.

However, the existence that can leave a name in the history books, even if it is a cat or a dog, is not a simple character.

At this time, Shen Faxing was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he was still a rookie who couldn't be more tender, so Lei Hu naturally didn't need to worry about it.

The captured Shen clan and their private soldiers were soon formed into several labor teams and began the arduous work of building roads and bridges under the supervision of the guards.

I have to say that the aura of heaven and earth in this world is rich, and the physical quality of the creatures conceived and nurtured is quite good, especially the strong laborers like the Shen clan and the clan soldiers who have cultivated different martial arts, and the efficiency of their work is quite amazing, and one person is comparable to three to five ordinary people in the world of the Red Mansion.

In other words, the more than 500 young and strong men of the Shen clan who were captured, as well as the clan soldiers, were enough to be worth more than 2,500 strong men in the Red Mansion World.

It's remarkable!

Especially among the captives, the beginners in the rivers and lakes, although the strongest is only the peak of the day after tomorrow, and there is still one step away from the congenital existence, but let them build roads and pave bridges as helpers, there are too many things that can be done, and one person is even comparable to modern construction machinery.

As long as the organization is properly used, the captured Shen clan and clan soldiers alone can completely repair the official roads in several counties in the Taihu Lake area, all of which are paved with gravel and rolled back and forth by rolling stones.

The captured Shen clan and clan soldiers have a clear division of labor, and the matter of repairing and expanding the official road is naturally the responsibility of ordinary Shen clan people and clan soldiers, and the work of quarrying and rubbing stones is all done by those gang of good people.

Hundreds of catties of stones are as light as nothing in their hands, and those few acquired masters who have reached the second-rate level of the rivers and lakes will naturally crack into small stones with one palm.

As for the rolling round stone mill weighing thousands of catties, in the hands of these second-rate masters of the rivers and lakes, it is not a heavy object, not only can it be easily lifted, but it can also be pulled all the way for miles without blushing or panting.

It is very easy to pave bridges and piles in rivers, and those second-rate masters of rivers and lakes do not need to make a move, and the third-rate masters of the Shen family in the captives can drive the thick wooden piles into the muddy water for a few feet with one palm, and a small river a few zhang wide as long as the materials are sufficient, but a small wooden bridge can be paved in half a day.

There are good hands in the infrastructure construction, the efficiency is really not to say, it is almost the same as the efficiency of modern construction machinery, just to build roads and pave bridges is easy and simple.

The captured Shen clan and clan soldiers were not used to it at first, or they couldn't let go of the face of the Shi clan to do the work of these lower riba people, but after being severely taught a few times by Wu Hou's personal guards with whips, they were completely honest, and they did whatever they wanted.

Fortunately, Wu Hou's personal guards, who were in charge of supervising the work, were not harsh, as long as the task was completed on time and in quantity, there was absolutely no problem for them to be fed, so that the hearts of the middle and high-level of the Shen clan were finally relaxed. 、

As long as you are not a fool, you will react at this time.

The Shen family in Taihu Lake has become a bird, and was killed by Wuhou Leihu to worship the monkey, I didn't see that since the Shen family was unlucky, the scholars in the Taihu Lake area and Qiantang County were strong and strong, and they were honest and tight, and they also took the initiative to come over from time to time to see the Shen clan people who were undergoing 'labor reform', which was simply unreasonable.

Later, the captured Shen clansmen hated the powerful families of other noble clans under the rule of Wu Hou, even more than they hated Wu Hou.

In addition to Wu Hou Leihu's strength being too strong, they know that they have no chance to take revenge, and they are also another example of 'only suffering from widowhood and unevenness'!

When the Shen family was in turmoil, the strong family of the Ganshi clan under the rule of Wu Hou did not add fuel to the flames behind it.

Now the Shen family is unlucky, and they were punished by Wu Hou for 'labor reform', and they have endless work every day, and they are living a hard life that is not as good as ordinary people, and they don't know when it will be a head.

The rest of the families who have secretly moved their hands and feet, and at the same time fanned the flames, how can they have to endure hardships and suffer from it, this is called fairness, right?

So soon, the Shen clan fought a war of words with the powerful family of the Yigan clan under the rule of Wu Hou through the hidden forces.
