Chapter 140 0137 [Who is in charge? 】

Soon, the steward brought a worker.

Looking each other up and down, Han Zhen asked, "What's your name?"

"County magistrate, my name is Lu Jiu."

Lu Jiu was a little nervous, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Han Zhen asked again: "Did you burn out the cement?"

"I don't know if it's because the dusty powder turns into a stone after being poured with water. It's very similar to what Manager Yang said earlier."

Lu Jiu was also a little uncertain, so he didn't dare to speak too much.

Hearing this, Han Zhen immediately ordered: "Take me to have a look."

Following Lu Jiu to an open space, a pile of fine gray powder was piled on the ground.

On the side, there are a few solidified cement blocks.

Han Zhen's eyes lit up, he picked up a handful of powder with his hands and felt it carefully, and found that compared with the cement in his previous life, it was a little rough.

Then, he looked at the cement block again.

I tapped it with my fingers and found that the hardness is good.

After clapping the ashes in his hands, Han Zhen stood up and said, "Do you have a hammer?"

"Have!"

The manager nodded and immediately found a hammer.

Han Zhen raised his chin towards the cement block and ordered: "Knock hard!"

The steward didn't say anything, just picked up the hammer and smashed it.

After only two hits, the cement block fell apart.

Seeing this scene, Han Zhen frowned slightly.

Obviously, the strength of these cements after solidification is too poor at present, and it is far from meeting the standard for use.

Lu Jiu's expression was lost, and he blamed himself: "The county magistrate, let you go for nothing."

Han Zhen comforted: "It's not easy for you to do this step, and you can ask the steward later to get five rewards."

"This...thanks to the county magistrate!"

Lu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and then thanked her with a grateful expression.

I didn't expect to fail, but there was still a reward.

"During this period of time, you don't need to work. You specialize in firing cement, carefully consider the ratio of lime, clay, and iron ore, and try different furnace temperatures. Don't be afraid of failure. If you can make it, I will open another one in the future. The cement factory, let you be in charge!"

Although the strength of cement is not enough, it can be regarded as a big step forward, at least the direction is right.

"Don't worry, the magistrate, I will definitely be able to do it!"

Lu Jiu's heart was surging, and he patted his chest to assure him.

He knew that the turning point to change his destiny had come.

"Then it's settled!"

Han Zhen smiled, turned his head and told the steward, "Cooperate more with Lu Jiu in the future."

"I save it."

The steward nodded solemnly.

After Han Zhen left, everyone looked at Lu Jiu with envy.

It's not that no one has tried firing cement, but after successive failures, many people chose to give up, and he was the only one who persisted.

After leaving the lime kiln, Han Zhen went back to the house halfway up the mountain.

Just happened to run into Mrs. Shen.

She was carrying a food box, as if she was going to the market to deliver food to An Niang and the others.

Seeing Han Zhen, Chef Shen was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Lang is back, can we have dinner?"

"I dealt with it at the salt factory, don't worry about me, you are busy with your own."

Han Zhen waved his hand and ordered: "When you go to deliver the meal, help me call Xiao Chong back."

"it is good."

Chef Shen agreed immediately.

Passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the second courtyard, I saw Zhu Zhengze and a group of scribes having dinner in the living room.

"The county magistrate."

Zhu Zhengze and others were about to stand up to greet them, but Han Zhen pressed his palms and motioned them to sit down.

"Eat yours."

Han Zhen smiled slightly, moved a round stool to sit down, poured a cup of herbal tea, and chatted, "What's going on at the school?"

A clerk reported: "Report to the county magistrate, more and more children have come to the school recently, and the school is a bit crowded."

In the past, everyone was poor. After the adults in every household went to farm, the children would help with housework, dig some wild vegetables, and look for wild fruits.

It is different now, men work and women farm, which can completely fill the stomachs of the family.

The school does not charge money, so naturally more and more villagers are willing to send their children to the school.

I don't want to take the examination of children's talents, but I just want to be able to read and write, so that I can find a decent job when I grow up.

Han Zhen said solemnly: "If it is not enough, we will expand it. The matter of enlightenment should not be taken lightly. The money needed for the expansion of the school will be made an account at that time and submitted to Zhu Zhengze for approval."

The scribe replied, "I see."

After chatting a few more words, Xiao Chong hurried in.

Taking off the bamboo hat on his head, Xiao Chong wiped the sweat off his face and asked, "Second Brother Han, what are you calling me for?"

Han Zhen ordered: "You arrange the patrol team today, and go to the county to find me tomorrow. I have an errand for you."

"it is good!"

Xiao Chong didn't ask any errands, just nodded in response.

……

……

Licheng County.

Since occupying Jinan Mansion, Li Heihu has no further action.

It's not that she doesn't want to, but that she can't move.

Li Tianwang and Lei Han's rebellion caught her by surprise.

Although Li Tianwang was killed that night, Lei Han led five or six hundred men to turn against him, causing heavy losses to Heishanzhai.

Fortunately, with her bravery, she almost wiped out the elite Xingde army led by Xing Wanli in the end.

The next day, he fought Zhang Shuye again on Maoling Mountain outside the city.

Zhang Shuye was defeated and fled. He could kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

Originally there were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, but only [-] cavalry and less than [-] infantry survived.

Fortunately, the prestige of Li Tianwang in Montenegro these years has played a role.

The peasant army and the bandits from the Green Forest Road continued to defect, and in a short period of time, they gathered [-] people.

8 million people!
It seems a lot, but whether it is Li Heihu or Mr. Yin, they are very clear in their hearts.

These 8 people are just a mob.

The combat power of 8 people is not even comparable to the thousands of people in the previous Heishanzhai.

Moreover, these people who came to defect to each other also had their own ulterior motives.

During this period of time, Li Heihu has been busy integrating these people, and now it is at the last juncture.

The setting sun is like blood.

The entire Licheng County was filled with a depressive atmosphere.

Even though Li Heihu ordered not to loot the people in the city, the people still couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

The doors of shops in the eastern and western cities were closed.

The shouts that filled the streets and alleys disappeared.

The restaurants and teahouses are still open, but the customers have been replaced by rebels and bandits.

Located in a house in the north of the city, three strong men walked out of it.

The three of them were wearing gorgeous brocade robes, soft toe caps on their heads, and a pair of golden cloud-patterned boots under their feet.

The clothes are gorgeous, but the words and deeds are like an old farmer, which makes people think of an idiom.

Wash the monkey and crown!

The leader is Sun Gen, who was originally a miner in Zhangqiu County.

Because the county did not collect all the money, the owner of the mine was ordered by the county magistrate, and [-] yuan was forcibly confiscated, and the owner turned around and passed on the money to the miners.

Seeing that he couldn't survive anymore, Sun Gen killed the supervisor of the mine in a rage, and led hundreds of miners to rebel.

Then, with lightning speed, it swept through the nearby villages in Zhangqiu County, engulfing more than [-] people.

After the attack on the county was frustrated, Sun Gen was a little at a loss. At this moment, he learned that Li Heihu had captured Licheng County, so he immediately brought more than [-] people to join him.

At first, Sun Gen still had the intention of submitting.

When he learned that there were actually only more than 1000 people in Heishanzhai, his mind immediately changed.

He has more than [-] people under him, and he is the most powerful party, how could he be willing to be inferior to a woman.

In the past few days, Sun Gen secretly contacted other bandit leaders.

After getting the guarantee from the bandit leaders, Sun Gen gradually became arrogant, and his attitude towards Li Heihu became more and more contemptuous.

At this time, a slightly younger man at the side said: "Brother, this lady surnamed Li suddenly called us over, why?"

He is Sun Gen's younger brother, called Sun Zu.

Sun Gen spat and said disdainfully, "Who knew, this bitch would make trouble."

"Haha, brother, didn't you try that girl, otherwise how would you know that she would be a tosser."

Sun Zu let out a lewd laugh and spoke a yellow accent.

Hearing this, Sun Gen licked his lips, and a lewd light flashed in his eyes: "Not to mention, that bitch Li Heihu is really exciting. When I have a chance in the future, I must give it a try!"

Thinking of Li Heihu's tall figure and that cold face, Sun Gen felt angry.

The three of them came all the way to the government office, and after entering the lobby, they found that there were already many people sitting in the lobby.

Except for the few leaders of Heishanzhai, all the leaders of the big and small forces who came to seek refuge have also arrived, and they are the only ones left.

Li Heihu sat on the first seat, his face frosty.

Seeing this, Sun Gen cupped his hands, and said with a frivolous smile, "Hehe, I favored my little concubine just now, and it took me a while, so don't blame Mr. Li!"

As soon as the words fell, the heads of the Heishan village immediately glared.

Li Heihu glanced at him with a pair of phoenix eyes neither sad nor happy, and said in a cold tone: "Master Sun, let's take a seat first."

Sun Gen smiled triumphantly, and walked to sit down where Li Heihu was next to his head.

This position originally belonged to Mr. Yin, but this meeting did not come.

Li Heihu didn't seem to notice it, and said seriously: "I am very grateful to you for coming to help me. It will be a while now, and Gaotuo Mountain in Hebei will not last long. When the Western Army is free, they will come to attack us. .”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the lobby changed.

"The Western Army is coming?"

"Does Master Li have any countermeasures?"

"The city of Licheng County is Gaochihou, we are waiting to guard the city, and the Western Army cannot come in."

"..."

In their hearts, the Western Army is invincible.

It is as strong as Fang La, and it is like tofu in front of the Xijun, and it will shatter with a light touch.

"Quiet!"

Li Heihu gave a light drink.

After the chatter in the lobby dissipated, she spoke again: "As the saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings. I am going to combine your soldiers and horses into one army, Step up your drills, you may not be incapable of fighting by then."

After the voice fell, everyone looked different.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "But I don't know who will be the leader after the partnership?"

Hearing this, the Six Masters of Heishanzhai took it for granted: "Of course we are the masters!"

Sun Gen felt that the opportunity had come, and quickly winked at his younger brother.

Seeing this, Sun Zu immediately said, "I don't think it's right."

The Six Leaders sneered and said, "Why is it wrong? This Licheng County was brought down by my Heishanzhai. If we hadn't taken it in, you wouldn't know where you are."

"That's a bad word."

At this time, Sun Gen said slowly: "It is true that Licheng County was taken down by you, but since it is a partnership, it is natural who is powerful and who is the leader!"

"Makes sense!"

Li Heihu nodded.

Ok?
Is this bitch crazy?

Sun Gen and the others were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't expect Li Heihu to speak for themselves.

Li Heihu looked around the crowd in the lobby, and asked: "According to this calculation, Mr. Sun's family has the most hands. Who of you agrees that Mr. Sun is the leader?"

After a brief silence, everyone immediately opened their mouths.

There are those who agree and those who disagree.

Li Heihu looked at the crowd quietly, with a trace of mischief hidden deep in his eyes.

While everyone was arguing, whistles like night owls suddenly sounded in the city.

"Go!"

Li Heihu uttered two words lightly, and then drew out the saber.

Swish!
A cold light flashed across the saber.

Sun Gen's huge head suddenly soared into the sky.

The gushing blood spattered Sun Zu's face, and before he could recover, he swung the long and narrow saber again.

In the next moment, several leaders of Heishanzhai pulled out their weapons and joined the battle group with a roar.

For a while, there was chaos in the lobby.

"Li Heihu, you don't talk about the morals of the world...Ah!!!"

"I'm done, I'm done, don't kill me!"

"Damn it, fight them!"

"..."

Not long after, the hall of the government office returned to calm.

Li Heihu was drenched in blood, with a saber on his shoulder, glanced at the corpses all over the ground, and ordered in a cold tone: "Lead the soldiers to the camps and gather them in one place. If anyone resists, shoot him! "

"Order!"

Several masters clasped their fists together in response.

In the past few days, they have been holding back a fire in their hearts.

If Li Heihu hadn't stopped them from acting rashly, they would have slaughtered these birds long ago.

To be honest, killing these bandit leaders is easy, but after killing them, how to gather their subordinates is a problem.

Li Heihu has been making arrangements for the past few days. Seeing that the time is right, he found a random excuse to gather these bandit leaders together and kill them.
