During the 10-day crackdown on bandits in Lingbei County, the bandits on the hills killed were directly dumbfounded.

After seeing the thunderous methods of these terrifying gods, the remaining bandits who had no mountain to go down the mountain and surrendered.

These people gathered, at least one or two thousand, and hundreds of officials escorted them.

The officials have been dealing with bandits for too long, so naturally there are people who know each other.

These bandits, who looked vicious and vicious, were all like a group of obedient little sheep at this time, honest, and they were not half presumptuous along the way.

This scene made this group of officials look quite unreal.

But more is the admiration for Su Qi'an, this kind of means of sweeping when he says it, I am afraid that only Mr. Su has done it.

Su Qi'an's suppression of bandits in Lingbei County naturally spread to other counties, especially the local arrogant bandits, and after hearing Su Qi'an's thunderous methods, they immediately restrained a lot.

Like the county towns next to Lingdong and Lingnan, there would have been bandits running around and robbing all year round.

But after experiencing Su Qi'an's terrorist actions, the border of Lingbei County was instantly quiet.

There were some dangerous paths, and there were no more robbers and bandits, and in an instant, Lingbei County, which was a little riotous and unstable, became the county seat with the best public security under Chuandu County.

All this credit is thanks to Su Qi'an, and Su Qi'an's reputation and prestige reached its peak ten days later.

The leaders of several counties all know that the great talent in Lingbei County has returned, and with the help of unknown means, within ten days, all the bandits in the county will be wiped out.

They have nothing but envy for this.

After all, Su Qi'an is the person from Lingbei County, and he is naturally obliged to do things in the county, and as for the other counties, Su Qi'an can completely ignore them.

Su Qi'an did this, his prestige reached its peak at this moment, according to common sense, at this time, Su Qi'an should expand his influence.

It's best to include all the nearby counties.

This idea is right, but there is a problem to weigh, Su Qi'an returned this time, he just wanted to stick to Lingbei County, so that he could act in the future.

After all, his family and friends are here, and Lingbei County is his foundation.

If the influence continues to expand, it may be praised by the people of other counties at first.

But as long as the bandits gradually subside, seeing that Su Qi'an is unhappy, there are many people.

At that time, I am afraid that if the Wei family does not have to do it, the other Haoqiang families will have to take Su Qi'an.

There is a good saying, cutting off people's financial means is like killing parents.

The foundation of Lingbei County has not yet been stabilized, and at this time, it intends to get involved in other counties, and the local tyrants are not allowed to do anything to Su Qi'an.

After Su Qi'an completely eradicated the bandits in Lingbei County, he informed the next few counties and gave them a way.

Although it is impossible to achieve immediate results, at least it can make the bandits in each county restrain for a while.

This is also in line with the psychological thoughts of Haoqiang in other counties, and he has reduced his vigilance against Su Qi'an, but he has appreciation.

Su Qi'an would not care about the idea of being strong in other counties, now that the bandits in Lingbei County have been eradicated, these captured bandits will be handed over to Fang Jingzhi to deal with.

It has already been confessed, and the sentence varies according to the seriousness of the crime.

Most of the bandits, in fact, were also forced to join, as long as they did not kill anyone, they were detained for a period of time at most, and they were educated.

As for those who kill people and insult women, they will definitely not be merciful, and they will be killed when they deserve.

Fang Jingzhi also had this idea, and after chatting with Su Qi'an for a few words, he left quickly with Captain Wang and Master Liu, and Fang Jingzhi was busy in the next time.

Similarly, Su Qi'an was not so idle, and after dealing with the bandits, he returned to Dongshan Village as soon as possible.

Su Qi'an returned to the village, not to spend a leisurely life, but to have big things to do.

After a few words of advice from Qin Ziyin, Li Hu, Zhao Da and other confidants, Su Qi'an went straight to the back mountain of Dongshan Village.

At this time, martial law began to be imposed in the entire Dongshan Village, especially the area behind the mountain, and no one could enter without Su Qi'an's order.

On the periphery of the back mountain, it is closely guarded by more than a dozen henchmen such as Li Hu and Zhao Da, and anyone who approaches will definitely be driven away.

At this time, on the back hill of Dongshan Village, Su Yong and Tong Zhan appeared, and it seemed that they had been staying here for a long time.

Seeing Su Qi'an appear, the two stepped forward quickly, both of them were dirty, but their faces revealed excitement.

Especially Tong Zhan, a pair of eyes flashed with excitement, looking at Su Qi Andao.

"Sir, according to my survey, there is a small mine in the back mountain, although it is not large, but it can make at least 100 boxes of black powder."

"Sir, this is really a blessing from heaven."

Seeing that Tong Zhan was so excited, Su Qi'an waved his hand, letting Tong Zhan's emotions ease down slightly, stepped forward and smiled mysteriously, and said in a low voice.

"It's a waste to make black powder, Tong Zhan, do you remember that on the battlefield of Ningzhou, the new army blocked the horror things released by the Cook Shu army?"

"Sir, you're saying that this mine can be used to make that thing?" Tong Zhan's face was full of shock.

On the battlefield of Ningzhou, this thing was very powerful, and the effect of the explosion was more than ten times greater than that of black powder.

Not only that, but in terms of stability, it is also a few streets away from black powder, and I heard Mr. Su say that this is the product of his improvement through the principle of black powder, what is it called explosives.

The power of explosives is great, but it is difficult to make, even Mr. only brought less than ten pieces on the battlefield in Ningzhou.

Nowadays, with such mineral raw materials, the finished product can be greatly improved.

Something like this should have become Su Qi'an's secret, even if Su Qi'an hid it privately and didn't tell anyone, no one would blame him.

After all, the advent of such explosives is likely to change the course of the war.

Anyone who has it is definitely the strongest killing weapon, but Su Qi'an not only did not hide it from them, but revealed his heart.

This is a kind of absolute trust, which can tell that Su Qi'an treats him as his own.

People like them want to get absolute trust the most, Su Qi'an gave it to him, how can this not move Tong Zhan.

Although Su Qi'an told them that with the current technology, this thing will definitely not be able to be mass-produced on a large scale.

But with this absolute trust, Tong Zhan was ready to dedicate everything for Su Qi'an.

Tong Zhan's thoughts, Su Qi'an naturally understood, this is what he wants.

Although Xie Cang told him before leaving, he could absolutely trust Tong Zhan, but the matter of explosives is a big deal and a dangerous thing after all.

It is difficult to guess about people's hearts, even if there is an accident in the end, Su Qi'an also has backup means, but fortunately, the final result did not disappoint Su Qi'an.

After passing the final test of people's hearts, Su Qi'an can use it boldly and confidently for children's warfare in the future.

The mine in the back mountain, Su Qi'an discovered it a long time ago, and successfully improved it, making explosives.

Although the number is not large, but the power is significant, and later because of the urgency of the war in Ningzhou, Su Qi'an followed Xie Cang to the front line, which was half a year.

Fortunately, the war is over, Su Qi'an has returned, and now he can start making explosives according to his plan.

Calling the two of them here is not to be craftsmen and learn to make explosives, it would be too big and too useless.

The two of them are the supervisors of the back mountain, and when the time comes, Su Qi'an will recruit a group of skilled craftsmen from the village, and the number is not much, only ten people.

The production process of explosives is divided into ten step diagrams, and each person receives a copy, which can ensure the efficiency of making explosives, and second, not afraid of leakage.

Internally, Tong Zhan and Su Yong are in charge of supervising the work, and some new troops living in Dongzishan are being transferred, and they come over from time to time to adjust the defense.

Externally, the village guard team is on guard, and Li Hu is personally responsible for this part, and the vigilance level is adjusted to the highest.

In this way, the back hill will be completely blocked, not to mention people, even a fly will not be able to fly in.

The news of the recruitment was released soon, and Su Qi'an stipulated that the craftsmen recruited would be transferred to secret points, and their freedom would be temporarily restricted, and they would not be able to go home for at least half a year.

Although this kind of regulation is harsh, it can't stand the high bounty issued behind the harsh regulation.

Successful selection, monthly salary of three taels, if outstanding performance, stay for half a year, will be issued an additional ten taels as a reward.

As soon as this remark came out, it almost caused a commotion in the village, but fortunately there was a village guard team to maintain order, otherwise there would be a stampede practice.

The conditions offered by Su Qi'an are too generous, and for them, it is like dropping money from the sky.

The income earned in the past six months has exceeded their income for almost ten years, and this salary, even the village guards who maintain order, are red-eyed.

What is a temporary loss of freedom? Making money is king.

I only hated that they didn't have such skills, so they could only sigh in vain, and ten skilled craftsmen were soon recruited.

If it weren't for Su Qi'an's promise, this would only be temporary, and after half a year, he would continue to recruit according to the output, otherwise, this crowd would not be able to disperse.

Ten craftsmen, blindfolded, were escorted by Li Hu's village protection team, watching the craftsmen enter the mountain, Su Qi'an said to Li Hu.

"Li Hu, this matter must be careful and careful, don't leak secrets, this matter is a matter of life and death, this matter is done, we can go and continue to walk, remember, don't be too nervous, loose on the outside and tight on the inside."

"Don't worry, sir, this matter is on me, I guarantee with my life, and I will never let a fly enter the back mountain."

Li Hu said solemnly, of course he knew the seriousness of the matter, the power of explosives, he was the first to use them, and Li Hu was also looking forward to the day when explosives could be produced again.

Su Qi'an was able to hand over this matter to him, and Li Hu was grateful, indicating that Su Qi'an did not distrust the people in their village because he brought people back.

Li Hu also secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he would do this for Su Qi'an beautifully.

Su Qi'an and Li Hu said a few words, nodded, and then turned to leave.

In the next few days, Su Qi'an would occasionally go to Dongzishan to guide the training of the new army, and most of the time he accompanied Qin Ziyin.

As for the matter of the back mountain, it was like forgetting, the villagers in the village, working separately, did not say a word about the lively recruitment that happened a few days ago, as if it had never happened.

And this is the credit of Li Xiaomei, the women's team she established is not only to solve the contradictions between women in the village, but more importantly, to serve as eyeliner and intelligence work.

There are many things in the village, and under the greeting of Li Xiaomei, I know that there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said.
