Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 240 Cavalry
Looking at the smiling Liu Bai, Meng Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

In Wang Ben's letter to himself at the beginning, he said that although this son-in-law came from a humble background, his brain is very useful.

At least half of the big and small things that happened in Xianyang City were written by this son-in-law.

Hearing what he said now, does the son-in-law have a solution?
Looking at him expectantly, Meng Tian cupped his fists and said.

"The general is dull, so I ask my son-in-law to enlighten me!"

Liu Bai raised his hand to hold his arm and said with a smile.

"Since the people slowed down because they were too tired, General Meng just needs to let them rest..."

Hearing this, Meng Tian secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.

I also want them to rest well, the problem is that they rest, who will do the work?

He was about to ask a question, but was stopped by Liu Bai raising his hand.

"General Meng, for such a huge project as the Great Wall, there must be at least tens of thousands of people, right?"

Meng Tian held back the doubt in his heart, nodded and replied.

"What the son-in-law said is right, close to 10 people!"

"If they are divided into three batches, each batch can rest after working for four hours, so can they all rest well? The project can also work day and night..."

"If General Meng is afraid that there won't be enough manpower for each batch, you can recruit more! You can take care of food and housing and give money back, and only work for four hours a day. I believe many people will come..."

After listening to his words, Meng Tian thought carefully.

If the 10 people were divided into three batches, it would be enough...

But there are fewer people working, and I don't know if the progress can satisfy His Majesty.

But if, as the son-in-law said, if we recruit more people, then there will be a lot of expenses...

For a moment, Meng Tian hesitated in his heart.

Liu Bai glanced at him and suggested.

"How about this, General Meng let them be divided into three batches to try for a few days, if the progress is too slow, it will not be too late to recruit people..."

"No matter how urgent father is to urge you, it's still a few days away, don't you think so?"

Nodding his head, Meng Tian made up his mind.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he simply gave the people a holiday and sent them back to rest.

Seeing that they got off work so early today, and everyone stood there dumbfounded, they couldn't believe it.

Seeing them in a daze, the supervisor on the side shook his head with a smile.

"You said you were tired all day, but now you are told to go to sleep, but you won't go. If that's the case, then go on..."

Before the words were finished, the crowd cheered and dispersed.

Shaking his head, the overseers smiled and helped to clean up the scattered tools.

After a while, except for a few managers, there was no one else on the scene.

After bowing to Ying Yinman and Liu Bai, Meng Tian talked about his plan.

Like his previous thinking, managers are also afraid of delays.

After receiving Liu Bai's guarantee, he agreed to give it a try for now.

On the second day, when the common people got up and heard the news, they all felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Brothers, do you want to continue working day and night like before, or just work four hours a day like now?"

"Of course it's four hours!"

"Yes, if I continue to work like before, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to see my mother-in-law alive..."

"Hahaha, look at your worthless appearance..."

"You are promising, then don't go back to your wife..."

Seeing that they were getting more and more biased, the previous person stopped immediately.

"Stop, stop, talk about business! Since we only want to work for four hours, and the court is in a hurry, we can't be lazy! Otherwise, we won't be able to keep up with the progress, and I'm afraid we will have to go back to the old days..."

"Don't worry, we must be faster than before!"

"Yes, I have enough energy to eat and sleep, and I must work faster than before..."

"Stop talking, hurry up and get to work..."

In order to facilitate management, the workers have already divided into teams according to the model of the Qin army.

Now, as soon as I heard that there would be three shifts, it didn't take much effort at all, so I selected the people.

Those people who are resting are not used to working for a while.

It wasn't until the overseer started to chase people away that there was a sense of reality.

Tired, they went back to catch up on sleep.

Early in the morning, Liu Bai and Meng Tian came over again.

At the moment, the two were standing aside, watching the people in the first shift work.

Digging, transporting, ramming...

No matter which link, no one slackens.

On weekdays, the supervisors have to urge a few words.

But today's work is extremely easy.

Just sit there and watch the honest farmers work hard.

After all, in their hearts, the current treatment is already extremely generous!

I told the supervisors that the progress of each shift must be carefully recorded and reported in time at night.

Afterwards, Meng Tian prepared to take Liu Bai around.

Who would have thought that before he turned around, he would see the people who were working, throwing down the things in their hands and turning around and running away.

While running, he was still yelling.

"Hurry up and hide, the Huns are coming again..."

Liu Bai heard the words and looked around, and saw more than a hundred cavalry galloping towards this side.

When he got close, he whipped the slow-running people a few times, then stopped at the same spot, and looked at Meng Tian provocatively.

Looking at Meng Tian's expression, it is obvious that he has become accustomed to this matter.

After waving his hand, hundreds of cavalry galloped out of the camp behind him, heading towards the Huns.

Seeing them coming out, the Huns were not afraid to laugh back.

"Hahaha, look at them again..."

"Go, take them for a walk!"

"Let's go, let's drive..."

Seeing them like this, the Daqin cavalry chased them directly as if they were enraged.

At the same time, he kept yelling.

"Don't run away, let's fight..."

"That's right, what kind of hero is a man who can only run?"

"Follow them..."

Liu Bai watched the Xiongnu soldiers turn their heads and run, while the Qin soldiers chased after them.

After a while, Qin Bing returned and went straight back to the camp with a blank expression.

You should eat, you should drink, you should talk, you should smile...

Glancing at Meng Tian, ​​he suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"What if one of them is ambushed outside?"

Meng Tian was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head.

"Did the son-in-law forget the telescope you invented?"

In a word, Liu Bai immediately felt relieved.

"It's good that General Meng knows well, can you take me to see how the cavalry is doing?"

Meng Tian directly nodded in response, without thinking much at all.

In his opinion, since Liu Bai can make horseshoes and other things, he should have a certain understanding of cavalry.

Take him to see it now, maybe he can give some advice.

After all, for so long, they have only practiced by themselves, and have never seen outsiders at all!

The two rode their horses and came to a valley. Standing outside the valley, they could hear the neighing of the horses.

Liu Bai understands that the cavalry in the Northern Army are probably all here...

After arriving at Taniguchi, Meng Tian took Liu Bai in after showing the token to the guards.

"This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no bypass except this one exit. In order to keep it secret, the last general asked them to practice riding here..."

Liu Bai nodded, indicating that he understood, and said 'hard work' at the same time.

Meng Tian chuckled and continued to lead him forward.

After a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the place where the cavalry were training.
