Canghuang County is located in Youzhou traffic artery, the surrounding carriage and horse post station business is prosperous, and the silver money in the county government treasury is piled up.

When Li Subai led people to open the door of the warehouse, he was so shocked by the white flowers in front of him that he had nothing to say for a while.

A few of Wang Yi's right-hand men were salivating when they saw it, and it was inevitable that they would have some thoughts.

They are all from bandits, and when they see the money piled up there, how can they easily endure it?

"Lord Wangzhai, since we plan to set up our own door, we can no longer use the rules of the mountain in the future." Li Subak said suddenly.

"Of course, how many of you understand? Plum...... Whatever Mr. Li says, it is! Don't look stupid if you haven't eaten or seen it! ”

Wang Yi's scolding caused several people to mutter, "Isn't the boss also trembling with his hands, and he still talks about us!" You've never seen so much silver! ”

"Dare to talk back! It's just owed! Wang Yi raised his hand and was about to fight, but Li Suber hurriedly stopped him.

"It's important to get down to business, take out some of the money from the treasury to recruit soldiers, stock up on more baggage, and if you lose the battle with Niushou Mountain, all of these will be in vain."

Everyone knows that the people under Niu Dabeard are all ruthless, and if they lose the designated head and move, they don't need to be urged by the owner of the village and Mr. Li, and they will use twelve points of strength to do their work.

Li Suber didn't have time to investigate these trivial matters, now is not the time to rectify the army's appearance, but how to deal with Niushou Mountain.

Canghuang County was built at the highest point within a radius of dozens of miles, and the city walls are high and thick, which is said to have been rebuilt from the fortress left to defend against foreign enemies in the previous dynasty.

But the fly in the ointment is that the facilities around the castle tower are in disrepair, and even the city gate cannot be closed tightly, so they can only rely on the carpenters they have found to speed up the restoration.

"It would be nice if there was a heavy rain, it's a gloomy day, and I just want the rain to delay for some time." Li Subai leaned on the battlements of the city wall and looked at the sky, dark clouds rolled and piled up to press the city, and if he couldn't wait for the night, there would probably be a heavy rain.

Heavy rain...... Li Subak looked down in the direction of the moat, the moat had already been filled up by the waterlogging of the month, and it finally didn't rain for more than a month, and the water level of the moat didn't drop at all.

"Xu Yong! Where is Xu Bantou! Xu Bantou! Li Subai seemed to think of something in a trance, stumbled down the city tower, and found Xu Yong who was supervising the work outside the city gate.

"Why is Mr. Li so flustered?" Xu Yong asked.

"Moat! Find someone to raise both sides of the moat, the higher the better! ”

"Raise the moat? Seeing that it is going to rain again, will we not save more water? ”

Xu Yong was puzzled, in order to drain the stagnant water in the city, they worked day and night for many days, this has just passed the flood, and they have raised the moat to find trouble for themselves?

Li Subak leaned over and muttered a few words in his ear, Xu Yong's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and he hurriedly hugged his fists to say goodbye and went to the city to call people.

Waiting for Xu Yong to run away, Li Subak said with a smile: "Little brother, I'm not an official, you don't have to hide from me." ”

There was no one in front of him, and he was looking at the moat that was churning by the waves.

Behind the stone wall of the city gate, half of his body timidly leaned out, and it seemed to be a child of about ten years old, with a yellow face and thin skin, looking pitiful.

Hearing that Li Subak found out, the young man plucked up his courage and slowly moved to his side, "Hello Mr. Li." ”

The young man's voice was very small, and Li Subai squatted down so that he was level with him.

"You should be able to hear my conversation with Xu Bantou clearly, do you know why you want to raise the moat?"

"Mr. Li wanted to be condescending and washed the bandits with big water!"

The young man's eyes were burning when he spoke, although he was young but full of energy, and he broke through Li Suber's calculations in one word, which made him look at the young man with admiration.

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Ouyang, but I don't have a name, everyone calls me a dog."

Teenagers from poor families have cheap names to make a living, Ouyang is a rare surname in Youzhou, Li Subak frowned and asked more: "Are your parents from Canghuang County?" The Ouyang family has never heard of it here. ”

The boy bit his lip, "They're all starving to death on the way...... I heard about the soup kitchen in Canghuang County, and I survived......"

Li Subai pointed to the moat in front of him, "As long as this river can play a role, we have hope of survival, and the people of Canghuang County must gather into a river to have the power to wash the mountains." ”

"Mr. Li, you will definitely succeed! Can you make me your squire? I will do housework inside and outside the saddle before and after the horse! ”

The young man's eyes burst with longing, and Li Subai grabbed a handful of wet dirt, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it into the moat.

"I'm just a stall and chess, and I don't need an attendant."

Li Subo's words made the boy immediately lose his energy like a deflated ball.

"I'm not done yet, I don't need an attendant, but I need a helper, there are too many of these things, are you willing to help me?"

The young man's eyes widened and he looked at Li Subai in disbelief, "I—Can I really do it?" ”

"You have to have a name first, Ouyang ...... Hmm, how about calling it Ouyang Jianghe? ”

In his later memories, Li Subai was repeatedly dissatisfied with his name.

"Ouyang Jianghe! I have a name! Thank you, sir, for the name! The boy jumped with joy, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

Li Subak smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him seriously: "Ouyang Jianghe, there is something you have to do now. ”

"Sir, please tell me, what do you want Jianghe to do?"

"Go find the owner of Wang Yi Village, and ask him to give you some manpower to cut down some long strips of wood on the outskirts of the city."

Without waiting for Ouyang Jianghe to agree, many teenagers of average size ran out of the city gate, shouting for Mr. 's orders.

Li Subai was so noisy that he had a headache, and hurriedly pushed Ouyang Jianghe to the front, "If you want to follow and help, look for him!" ”

It seems that you have to find some helpers in the future, you don't have three heads and six arms, and things are easy to go wrong when there are too many.

As soon as he was chattering here, the city became a mess again.

"Why can you be a soldier and issue armor, but I can't?"

"What's the matter? Just because Wang Yi is my cousin, of course you have to send it to me first! ”

In front of the temporary recruiting office, two sturdy young men scuffled together in public, one of whom had obviously learned punches and kicks, and within three or five moves, he stuck the other party by the neck and pressed it under him.

"Wang Yi is Wang Yi, you are you! Whoever has a hard fist should give armor to whom! ”

Li Suber blended into the crowd of onlookers and squeezed forward to the front row, "A few old brothers, what's the situation?" ”

The person who came to line up to apply replied: "This is not the leader of Wang Yi who has just entered the city, he made a set of armor from a distant cousin, and someone did not like it, so he did it." ”

The one who was pressed down to death cursed with a flushed face, "Let my cousin know, I want your dog's life!" Hurry up and let me go! ”

"I don't have the ability, I asked someone to overturn, if it was me, I would hurry up and run away!" Li Subai walked up to him and gave a thumbs up to the unhappy young man.
