Chapter 106: Burning Bricks to Build Walls
Light rain fell in the middle of the night.
Washed away the traces of last night's battle.
It was almost dawn.
There is a faint iron cyan in the east.
The short dawn will soon pass, and a red sun will soon emerge.
Qin Tao and Zhu Dahai chatted for a long time.
"Brother, I understand what you mean, tomorrow I will ask all the brothers to go down the mountain and farm." Zhu Dahai understood the meaning of Qin Tao's words, and also knew that Qin Tao's decision was correct.
It has to be this way.
Only in this way can Zhu Dahai and his brothers have a way out.
"It's past the season for farming."
Qin Tao smiled and said, "Brother Dahai, I'm afraid that you have been the king of the mountain for too long and have forgotten the season!" ”
"yes!" Zhu Dahai scratched his head and smiled: "Then we have nothing to do when we go down the mountain now, so let's stay in the mountain!" After all, we are bandits, and coming down the mountain will cause unnecessary panic among the villagers, and the government may deal with us. ”
Zhu Dahai was faintly worried.
He believed in Qin Tao's way of doing things, but he didn't doubt the adults in the government, they had always changed their orders.
Adults have no integrity at all.
Compared to this, the adults who eat the king's Lu are not as credible as a bandit like Zhu Dahai.
In case the officers and soldiers send people to encircle and suppress them, Zhu Dahai and his people will not suffer losses by taking advantage of the favorable terrain in the mountains.
If you come down the mountain, I'm afraid you will be caught all of them.
This is also what Zhu Dahai is really worried about.
"Brother Dahai, how many people are there under your command? Be precise. Qin Tao asked.
Zhu Dahai didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Five thousand seven hundred and twelve people, counting myself, there are only so many people." ”
"Okay!"
Qin Tao took a deep breath.
By this time it was already getting dark.
Xi Shuyun and Xiaohong also came out of the tent.
No washing.
The two of them had their hair scattered.
"Brother Dahai." Xi Shuyun smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "There is no mouth for washing here, which makes you smile." ”
Zhu Dahai didn't look directly at Xi Shuyun.
That's rude.
I wanted to say a few words to praise Xi Shuyun, but he couldn't say it, it seemed that he was too frivolous.
A brother and wife shall not be deceived.
He Zhu Dahai is not that kind of person.
"Madam, you see Brother Dahai, he seems to be blushing." Xiaohong laughed.
This time, it was Zhu Dahai's turn to be embarrassed.
"Okay Xiaohong, don't tease Brother Dahai." Qin Tao relieved Zhu Dahai.
"Well, my wife and I went to the creek to wash our faces, let's talk!" After Xiaohong finished speaking, she glanced back at Zhu Dahai and said, "Master, if Brother Dahai is a woman, will you marry him?" I can't talk enough every day when you're together. ”
"Stinky girl, you want to be beaten." Qin Tao was laughing.
In Qin Tao's place, there seems to be no distinction between master and servant.
He originally didn't let Xiaohong call him master, but Xiaohong couldn't change it, so Qin Tao went with her.
Call it whatever you want!
"Brother, you girl is really sharp-toothed." Zhu Dahai watched Xiaohong and Xi Shuyun go to the stream to wash their faces, and his embarrassed mood was relieved.
Qin Tao shook his head, he was used to it, no wonder others.
"Don't talk about them." Qin Tao got back to business.
There are more than 5,000 people under Zhu Dahai.
Be reasonable.
"Brother Dahai, you can take someone down the mountain."
"It's too late to grow food, but we can grow some turnips and cabbage, and after a while we can sell them in the town, so that we can buy grain with silver."
"You don't need that kind of person."
"Let's use half of the people to grow vegetables, anyway, this is all good land, no need to open up wasteland."
"The remaining half of the people, pull out a thousand burnt bricks."
Zhu Dahai listened to Qin Tao's arrangement.
It's a good idea to grow vegetables.
"Burning bricks?"
Zhu Dahai was puzzled and asked, "Why are you burning bricks?" Do you want your brothers to go to war again and use bricks as weapons? ”
"Haha......"
Qin Tao laughed loudly.
The sun is out.
The green hills in front of you are close at hand, and they are verdant.
The fields under our feet are covered with water droplets, which are crystal clear in the sunlight.
"To burn bricks, you need to build walls."
Qin Tao raised his hand and said, "Brother Dahai, although we won this time, we lost too many brothers, and they can no longer drink with us." ”
"However, we have to give the living brother an explanation."
"Build a cemetery so that the souls of the dead brothers can be found, and their families can find their graves."
Zhu Dahai was also looking at the rising sun.
Listening to Qin Tao's words, Zhu Dahai's eyes were sour.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Qin Tao said again: "In addition to the brothers who were arranged just now, the rest of the brothers will build a wall along the perimeter of the foot of the mountain, and build it according to the scale of the city wall. ”
Zhu Dahai was taken aback again.
This...... It's a daunting task.
"Take your time!"
"When building a wall, we must leave a gap, so that we can use it to defend against the invasion of the Yi."
"It's kind of finding a job for my brother."
"If there is nothing to do, nothing will be done."
"Keep everybody busy, and there will be a lot less trouble."
Qin Tao thinks long-term.
There are some things that Zhu Dahai can't think of, but he Qin Tao must think about them thoroughly.
"Then let's go back to the mountain, and tomorrow I will take my brothers down the mountain." Zhu Dahai turned over and got on his horse.
Tighten the reins.
The crotch horse turned its head and roared, the front hooves were raised, and the maned horse flew in the wind.
"Brother, let's go!" Zhu Dahai was in high spirits.
Qin Tao waved his hand and shouted: "The sea, I'm sorry!" ”
He rarely said these three words to people in his life.
If Fang Sheng hadn't farted when he spoke, Qin Tao wouldn't have lost his word to Zhu Dahai.
"Dog Fangsheng, you wait for me, I think your two provincial governors will go to the sky, see how I pull you off the horse." Qin Tao secretly gritted his teeth.
For those who didn't speak well, the roots of Qin Tao's hateful teeth itched.
However, Qin Tao did not implicate Zheng Lun in this matter.
Zhu Dahai may have heard Qin Tao's words, but he led people back to the mountain and did not respond to Qin Tao.
"Let's make a quick breakfast, and we'll go home after dinner." Qin Tao came out one night, and it was time to go home.
The family prepares breakfast.
They didn't do well last night.
And the offensive of the Sun family and the Bai family, almost left Qin Tao and they didn't care.
Everyone feels guilty.
Fortunately, Qin Tao didn't have the same knowledge as them.
The family is the person who cares for the home.
Let them fight for their lives, and it is really difficult for them.
Qin Tao understands, so he is tolerant.
Breakfast is porridge, as well as picked wild fruits, pure natural and pollution-free food.
"Xianggong, do we have a chance to come out again in the future?" Xi Shuyun was a little unsatisfied.
Xiaohong also looked at Qin Tao, waiting for Qin Tao's answer.
"Of course there is a chance, as long as I am only a free little rich man, I will have time to go out with you in the future."
