Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fly Village Toll Station
The Governor convened an impromptu military council. The meeting decided to set up a military leadership core with the Metropolitan Governor as the core, and allocate 500 elite soldiers from Bai Qi and Xue Rengui to form the Dragon Battalion, 500 elite soldiers from Zhang Xianzhong and Lan Yu to form the Tiger Battalion, 500 elite soldiers from Tuda and Jielang to form the Leopard Battalion, 500 elite soldiers from Taishan and Lu Bu to form the Wolf Battalion, and 500 elite soldiers from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Heiya Changzhi to form the Lion Battalion.
Divided into five columns, they marched in a hurry, and rushed to the place where the axe workers and the Wanmei Mountain were dangerous. The meeting unified the offensive strategy of the flies and then the lich, except for Tarzan, who had a bitter gourd face, everyone else rejoiced and geared up, Tarzan really didn't understand where these people got their confidence, or if this was simply a group of outlaws.
"Taishan, how is General Lu's injury?" Although the commander of the wolf battalion was Lu Bu, because he was seriously injured and had not recovered, the soldiers could only take turns to carry the stretcher forward, so the responsibility of the commander fell on the deputy general Taishan.
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, General Lu's bone injury is no longer serious, but it will take more than a month to return to the appearance of ordinary people." Taishan knew that the Metropolitan Governor valued this fierce general very much, so he had been arranging for his henchmen to take turns to take care of him day and night. Even if the Metropolitan Governor doesn't say it, the whole army knows that Lu Bu has killed the fierce in a vicious battle that he didn't dodge a single move, and this kind of heroic spirit, needless to say, is already a model and banner figure in the army.
"Take care of him, stay until the future to learn more from him, don't let down your brother's hard work." The Grand Governor tapped him on the shoulder.
"Taishan thanked the Grand Governor!" The boy clenched his fists.
"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, the Tiger Camp in front is only five miles away from the mountain pass, General Zhang ordered the whole battalion to stand by and wait for the Metropolitan Governor's instructions!" A soldier with a blue linen cloth on his head came to report. After the military meeting, the Metropolitan Governor ordered the soldiers of each battalion to tie their heads with different colored hair bands, so as to facilitate the counting of the number of people and to make it difficult to mix in the fight.
"Okay, order all the soldiers of the five battalions to form a phalanx of fifty people, with a distance of twenty zhang, fully armed, and march in unison. Ordered the drummers of each battalion to beat the drums and beat Lao Tzu loudly. Meet at Yamaguchi! The Metropolitan shouted, his eyes widening.
For a while, the sound of the war drums seemed to burst people's eardrums, and the heart of the Metropolitan Governor almost jumped out of his mouth, which rabbit cub let the beating so loudly, alas, it was me, the Metropolitan Governor ate a turtle.
Zhou Yu rode an adult male sand crocodile carefully selected and fed by Jielang, and shuttled majestically among the soldiers of the five battalions, carrying the sword of atonement and wearing a blue shield on his arm, he looked like a victorious general, and the sergeants everywhere saw it and shouted in unison: "Metropolitan Governor, Grand Metropolitan Governor!" “
"Comrades have worked hard!"
"Serve the people!" The Metropolitan Governor didn't know what to say except for these two sentences, anyway, according to his thoughts, the more lively the better. I'll see if you can hold back a big feast at your doorstep, but it's really not okay Lao Tzu is going to hold a concert here, or a community shield, you let Lao Tzu's army enter the first line of heaven where the husband is closed, and the governor is not so stupid.
The art of war is cloudy: out of its own way, tend to its surprise, fly people are good at taking advantage of natural dangers to sneak attack, I don't want to give you this opportunity, if you want to fight us, we will start a fight on the ground. If you don't come out, Lao Tzu will be here to harass you and see how long you can last.
As soon as the drum came down, the Metropolitan Governor looked at the glimmer of heaven a hundred zhang away, and there was not a single hair. Hey, grandson, you're holding up.
Good!
"Where's the Wolf Camp Boss?" The Metropolitan shouted.
"The last general!" Tarzan hurried over.
"You lead the troops to set off wolf smoke at the entrance and smoke those shrunken turtles to death!" The Metropolitan Governor gritted his teeth and said.
"Where's the Lion Camp Boss?" The Governor shouted again.
"The last general!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived with a horse.
"You lead the troops to take turns to release random arrows into the entrance, ten people in a row, alternately release arrows, the more chaotic the better, it is best to shoot blindfolded!" The Grand Governor had a wicked smile on his face.
Grandma, I don't believe you are still sitting.
Sure enough, after the drums, smoke, and arrows, and the drums, smoke, and arrows, the flies couldn't hold on. The Governor saw a group of Spider-Man-like people crawling out of the straight mountain wall, these people had skin like black charcoal, they couldn't see the facial hair, and their hands and heels were like suction cups, which could be firmly attached to the vertical cliff.
The eyes are densely packed, and people with dense phobias are estimated to have vomited. The black pressure pressed a large area, and the governor roughly estimated that there were thousands of people, as if they had picked a hornet's nest, and there were a steady stream of flies crawling out behind.
The Metropolitan Governor rode the sand crocodile to the front of the team, and the soldiers in charge of tactical harassment in the lion battalion and the wolf battalion all returned to the team.
"What about your manager? Oh no, what about your boss? The Grand Governor shouted at the Spider-Mans.
Some of the Spider-Men in the front row muttered a few words to each other, and one of them lay down from the mountain wall with his head and feet upside down, stood up and slowly walked in front of the Duke. Zhou Yu took a closer look at this person, and he was no different from ordinary people. It's nothing more than a little darker, a little thinner, the clothes he wears are cinched up and his hips are raised, and he has a head and two legs, a mouth and two eyes.
"You're the manager on duty, huh?" The Governor drew the sword of atonement from behind his back, slung it on his shoulder, and rode slowly.
The black charcoal tilted his head and looked at the Grand Duke, as if judging his strength and attack intentions, and moved to the left rear.
"Who are you?" Finally, the black charcoal spoke. As he spoke, he looked back and nodded, and the Spider-Men on the vertical cliff walked in an extremely orderly row, stepping on the ground in turn, making room for the front, and doing the same behind them. After a while, there were three or four hundred people standing behind the black charcoal.
"Who are we? The cave people on the top of the mountain, the people of Lantian, you don't understand! Are you the leader? The Governor pointed his sword at the leader.
"My name is Kuchka, and I'm the number one warrior of the flymen." The black charcoal smashed his chest with both fists, provoking Zhou Yu as if demonstrating.
"Oh, pull it down, I've seen a lot of Warriors, Lakers, and Spurs, how old are you? Let's get down to business! The Governor put his sword back away, turned over and dismounted. Oops, this sand crocodile is really not good to ride, and it almost hit the Dadu Governor's egg.
Zhou Yu rubbed his crotch and approached the fly man named Kuchka.
"Governor, beware of deception!"
"Governor, don't go forward!"
Behind him, Bai Qi, Tuda and others hurriedly shouted.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! The Governor shook his hand.
He walked up to the black charcoal, his nose almost up to his nose, his eyes fixed on Kuchka.
"Kuchka, open the skylight and say something, how many people do you have?"
"Haha, will I tell you? Idiot! Kuchka laughed as the flyman finished speaking.
"Forget it, let me tell you, I have 30,000 men. This is the vanguard of 2,500 elite soldiers, right in front of you, see? The Governor gestured.
Kuchka looked at the army and nodded slightly.
"Let's talk about a deal?" Most of them raised their chins.
"What kind of sale? Do you have to pay tolls? Two thousand five hundred ... Kuchka hurriedly snapped his fingers and counted.
"Leave it to your uncle!" The Governor slapped his hand off, and the black charcoal behind Kuchka took out a black tubular weapon from his waist one by one, and stuck one end in his mouth and the other end at the Governor.
Oh, this reptilian weapon is this kind of arrow! It's no wonder that in a narrow space, this thing is easy to carry, and it is suitable for top-down sneak attacks, and if the bee needle is quenched with some poison, it will be more glossy.
"Listen up, Kuchka. I don't have money! “
"Then you can have a Gaba or a blueworm!" Kuchka replied to him.
"Nothing! I'm here to fight! The Metropolitan Governor said categorically.
"I'll tell you how I fight, don't I have 2,500 people here? There are still ten times as many troops in the back, and Kankun City is my rear supply. I'll change a batch in three days, and I'll harass you here, so that I won't be stupid enough to go into your valley and wait to be smashed. I'm just here to disgust you, understand? Change a batch in three days, take turns off in the last batch, and work in ten shifts, torturing you! The Grand Governor glared at him.
Where had Kuchka ever seen such a scoundrel, angrily grabbing his hair.
"You said that I tossed here, even if you give all your whole clan to attack, what are the chances of winning me in this open area?" The Grand Governor reached out and patted Kuchka, who mindedly patted his hand.
"You say I'm tossing here, will the ordinary people, peddlers, pawns, and wealthy merchants who were supposed to pass through here still leave here? Do you still get tolls? “
"You said I'm tossing here, there are so many of me, do you carry it for a long time or do I carry it for a long time?"
"You say I'm tossing here...
"That's enough, what the hell are you going to do?" Kuchka ripped at his hair and shouted like a frenzy.
"Oh, easy. I'm going to buy your toll booth! The Grand Governor looked at Kuchka with sincerity in his eyes.
"What? Acquisition? What do you mean? Kuchka was confused.
"Acquisition means investment, joint venture, and joint operation!"
"So what's in it for us?"
"Tell me what you want, let me guess. Don't you just want Gaba and the blueworms? “
"Yes!"
"Do you use Gaba? Not really! Do you use the blue worm? Neither do you! And what did you do with the Gaba and the worms you received? “
"Of course, it's used for food, clothing, and use!"
"Yes, that's right. Have you noticed that because of your high-fee, no-service business model, fewer and fewer passers-by have passed? “
。。。。。。
"So, do you think you're charging less money now than you used to?"
Kuchka counted on his fingers again, and looked at the Metropolitan in surprise and nodded.
"So, there's something wrong with your business model! Let me tell you, the deal we are talking about now is a big deal, and you can listen up. Alas! Alas? Listen, don't look around, talk about you, old Ku! The Grand Governor shook his palm in front of Kuchka, who was shaking his head.
"First, when it comes to investment and management, I definitely want to invest money. How about I invest a thousand dengaba in your tribe every year? “
"What? You mean a thousand deniers? Kuchka was on one finger.
"Yes, a thousand deniers. But this money cannot be given to you in vain, you have to build two post stations and two markets on both sides of this line of heaven for people to rest, lodging, dining, and shopping. Do you understand? “
"The second point, the toll is too high, people would rather take the national highway than go here, you are killing chickens and eggs, three light policy, must be changed! In this way, it is changed to once each person needs to go back and forth once Gaba, including meals and accommodation, karaoke, and foot care. In addition, you can purchase an annual card, and you can get an annual package for ten dengaba, and the annual pass can be transferred or traded. “
"Thirdly, I am writing you a letter, which can be used as a proof that you can enter and leave Kankun City freely. In this way, you and your people can go to Kankun City to shop, travel, visit, and even study, seek medical treatment, buy a home, and invest in Kankun City. That's a huge benefit! The Governor said that his eyes lit up in the back.
"Really?" Kuchka still couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.
"Wait, I'm not done yet. Since it's a cooperative operation, we have to talk about the sharing, hehe! The Governor made a gesture with his fingers to count the money.
"How?" Kuchka is clearly more concerned about this link.
"Because investment is risky, I can make a profit or lose money if I invest 1,000 dengaba a year, right? But you don't have to lose, and I'll take the risk. Good! High risk comes with high return. I want to raise 60% of all tolls, post station consumption, and market income! Most of them raised their necks.
"What? Sixty percent? No, no, it's too much. Most, most... Kuchka quickly shook his head.
"Okay, talk fast, and make a decision! It's fifty percent, whoever regrets it is the son of the old king next door, come and pull the hook! The Governor was the first to speak, then put his arm around Kuchka's shoulders and pulled him up.
Kuchka looked aggrieved as if he had died of his own mother, did he want to say fifty percent? He originally wanted to say forty percent, but it didn't matter how much he wanted to say, but he was fooled by this profiteer.
"Someone, bring me a thousand dengaba!" The Metropolitan Governor roared, and the officers and soldiers behind looked at the commander-in-chief patting the enemy on the shoulder and hugging the neck for a while, and they really didn't know what was going on, and looked at each other one by one.
Soon, the logisticians brought up a full thousand dangaba. Although this is only a small part of the bonus won by the Metropolitan Governor in the opening market, he thinks that it is too inconvenient to carry, carry, push, and transport, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Just have this opportunity, I can reduce the burden in the middle, and I don't want to want it.
"I'll draw up a contract, and you can find the literate people in your tribe to take a look at it, there's no problem, let's sign the contract, sign it for a hundred years first, how about it?"
"Really? A hundred years? When Kuchka heard this, his eyes glowed with a wolf's light, like a dog seeing. One hundred years, one thousand denaba a year, that is, 100,000 denaba, all year round without fighting, killing, killing and wounding a soldier and abolishing a single soldier, you can get so much money for nothing, isn't this a big elbow falling from the sky? The person on the other side is either stupid and has a lot of money or a bad brain, Kuchka wondered. But fortunately, he said that he wanted to write a contract, so he quickly signed the contract before he repented, and everything was fine when he boiled raw rice into wontons.
After a while, the Governor came out with a hide, and he found a soldier to engrave the contract with a dagger, in duplicate, one for him, and stabbed his finger in the belly with a knife, and pressed the handprint, and then exchanged repeats.
"Lao Ku, you have a good eye on the contract! Don't say I didn't remind you, the delay in the construction period will deduct money, the service is not up to standard, the poor management will also deduct money, violent clashes and casualties will be deducted, in short, you have to be familiar with all kinds of deductible terms! Otherwise, don't find out that you have deducted more than you earned at the end of the year, I have warned you in advance! The Metropolitan Governor said matter-of-factly.
"Hehe, I see, I just saw it. As long as you can guarantee the annual investment amount, let my people pass Kankun normally, these are small things! Kuchka said earnestly, obviously there was something more important to him than money.
"Okay, then it's a word, the husband is a word, and it's hard to collect it!" The Governor waved his hand and signaled the army to turn into a vertical and prepare to cross the mountain.
"Have a nice trip!" Kuchka made a gesture respectfully, this is the God of Wealth, how did he know that the Metropolitan Governor played such a capital game, and how many people's wisdom and wisdom were gathered? The depth of the routine, the high level, and the ruthlessness of the wrist make it difficult for anyone who is powerful in this borderless land to match.
"A month! Look at it, behind you, this group of idle, big-shouldered and round-waisted people are doing what they are doing day by day, all doing their work! In a month, the hotel, the restaurant street and the folk handicraft trading market were set up for Lao Tzu, did you hear? The Governor stepped onto the sand crocodile as he spoke, and almost pulled the egg again.
"Don't worry!" Kuchka led his people to avoid both sides of the stone wall and sent off the Grand Governor.
"Old library, hang a sign after it is built, and write it on the toll station of Kakan Expressway Fly Village." The last words of the Grand Governor were heard in the sound of the army's footsteps.
"Governor, can this be done? You're not worried about this group of mud-legged backbones who are in the middle of the mountains and rivers? Lan Yu asked suspiciously, looking back at the black-faced, black-skinned, and disheveled-like strange fly people.
"Alas, there is no right and wrong in this world, only right and wrong. If you settle their business, there will be no right or wrong. Think about it, with a stable income, identity and security, who wants to fight and kill, pretend to be a ghost? Right? To say that a regime is not good, the most fundamental thing is that it has not solved the problem of people's livelihood. It's nonsense to talk about foreign invasions and mobs. If you're a monolith, you won't be able to take advantage of the Super Saiyan if you let him come. I'll bet you, Lan Yu, this Fly Village toll station will be able to turn red and make a profit that year, and the profit will more than triple next year. This Kuchka will have to kneel and beg me to help him expand his production and operation, believe it or not? The Governor snapped his fingers and said.
"Well, though, your worries are not unreasonable!" The Metropolitan Governor glanced behind him, the army had basically entered this line of heaven, if the fly people attacked from above now, the consequences were unimaginable.
"Where is Tarzan?" The Governor shouted.
"Humble duty!" Taishan hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.
"Come, come!" The Grand Governor whispered a few words beside him to make sure he understood, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go!" “
The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and for Zhou Yu, the deception and deceiverment, routine and anti-routine, virtual and real experienced by a modern person can be said to be more than the rice that these people have eaten combined. What he told Taishan was that he sent scouts back to Kankun City secretly, and asked Feng Lei to send troops to harass Fly Village every once in a while, which disturbed him tirelessly, and did not stop until he took out the letter contract, so that he knew that his partner was a deterrent, and also let him weigh the consequences of not keeping his word. To put it bluntly, these are all car bandits and road ragesters, and if they really come to the regular army of Kankun City, they won't be able to get good fruit to eat.
