It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 306

They all say not to leak the news, but there is no wall that is not ventilated in the world. Relying on thousands of peasants to keep secrets is almost equivalent to nonsense, so one pass of ten, ten to a hundred, this family's brother-in-law, that family's neighbors... Originally, everyone avoided working for the bandits like tigers, but with the above The second experience, the more money is given, the better the treatment, and the farmers are willing to earn some money to supplement their families during the slack farming season.

Every village and town was coaxed by his wife to find a local foreman to intercede. People such as Zhao Sanzhuang are relatively thin-skinned. Even if there were some contradictions in the past, they would not be able to refuse when they approached the door.

So, on this day, Liu Bei looked at the number of people who rushed to Toad Village, but he didn't recover for a long time.

There were more than 3,000 people in the crowd.

For workmanship, the more people, the better, but more people means more consumption. Wages are not a big problem, even if each person has a tael of silver, the money is not much. The key is daily rations, people work, and they can't make people hungry. Three thousand strong laborers can open their cheeks together, but it is a huge consumption.

Of course, people can't be driven out when they come. Liu Bei began to register these people and divide the labor according to their different abilities. Commanding 3,000 people to work was not an easy task, so Li Xingzai cooperated with him. Among these bandits, Li Xingzai was considered literate.

Among these 3,000 people, there is no shortage of fish in troubled waters, and Liu Bei kicked them out directly.

"What are you doing? People like this are also here to join in the fun." Liu Bei picked out a skinny lazy guy: "We follow the rules and don't treat us as bad people."

Hundreds of people were kicked out, all of them trying to make up for it. When these people got together, they were about to be chased away. Some people were so angry that they couldn't help but say out loud: "You work for the bandits, let's report to the officials, no one can do it!"

The workers were terrified. These people were just taking advantage of the slack to earn extra money, but if things got out, colluding with bandits would be a serious crime.

"Who said that?" Liu Bei suddenly widened his eyes and revealed his murderous intention: "Tell me who said that?"

Ya Que was silent, and the group of people closed their mouths wisely. The faint smell of blood around, the suffocation in the eyes of everyone, the blood droplets on the leaves that were not washed by the rain, the bones that were occasionally stepped on when walking by... These all reminded them that these people are not good gentlemen, and they all kill without blinking. Bad thieves, and now they are in a den of thieves.

"Since you don't want to leave, then don't leave." Liu Bei sneered.

The crowd fell to their knees, pleading.

"Grandpa Wang, we are just talking nonsense for a while, please, don't kill us."

"Register everyone's names and ask them where their families live and who they are." Liu Bei's ruthlessness was even more than Cheng Dalei's: "These people will stay in the cottage for the time being, what is the most difficult life? If you are the most tired, leave it to them."

Among the 3,000 people, it is inevitable that there will be those who steal and play tricks. Regarding this issue, Liu Bei divided them into groups by villages and towns, one person was lazy, and the whole group deducted their wages.

In addition to the bonus of being proficient in construction, this is not a big problem. Once the project starts, the progress is fast.

The key issue is the various consumptions after the project starts. Every day people eat horse chews, which is not a small amount, and the big wood needed to build the cottage is not available on the rocky island, and can only be purchased from other places and shipped, which also requires money.

Therefore, opening up trade routes has become an urgent matter.

Cheng Dalei is personally responsible for this matter, and the medicinal materials, salt, and tea that Cheng Dalei needs have been delivered. The purpose of this time was to open up the market, so Cheng Dalei only brought 20 packs of goods, which were sent to Luoyu Village first, and then exited from Luoyu Village.

Cheng Dalei personally escorted Yun Zhonglong, Qiao He, and You Jiulou, and Cheng Dalei did not let them go. Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope. When we cooperate for the first time, if the other party has two hearts, we can directly tie them together, break down barriers through contact, and slowly build trust.

As for the main escort task, Qin Man's barbarian team was in charge, and the number of people did not need to be too many, only fifty people would do.

But there is a problem in this matter that is not a problem. To exit the customs, you must pass through Luoyu Village. There is a kind of pony in Luoyu Village. It is hard-working and suitable for mountain roads. Therefore, Luoyu Village is an important transit point. But after passing through Luoyu Village, Cheng Dalei had to see Fan Lihua.

To be honest, Cheng Dalei didn't know how to deal with the hotness and enthusiasm of the prairie girl.

Faced with this not-so-problem, Cheng Dalei thought of an idea that was not his idea.

He asked others to pick up and load the goods, and waited outside by himself, so he wouldn't have to see Fan Lihua.

Cheng Dalei lay on the lawn with his hands on his head, staring at the white clouds above his head in a daze.

Cheng Dalei now has many admirers, and outside, his reputation is even more incredible. But few people know that the real him is nothing more than a boring, occasionally wicked person.

This world is very quiet, there is no ubiquitous surveillance, no ubiquitous network signal, you can spend a month waiting for a letter from a person, or you can spend an afternoon staring at a white cloud in a daze.

Likewise, the world is full of hunger, plague, displacement, bullying...

I don't know how long I had been lying down, Cheng Dalei was already a little sleepy, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. Only then did he stand on the grassy slope and look over, only to see Qin Man and Yun Zhonglong coming with pony horses and carrying goods.

"The big boss, the big boss..." Qin Man's group gathered around: "Everything is ready, we can leave at any time."

"Yeah." Cheng Dalei nodded. He didn't see Fan Lihua. He didn't know whether to be proud or frustrated, and said casually, "I asked you to find a guide to guide the way. Did you find it?"

"Of course I found it, this is a good guide, do you want to guess who it is?" Qin Man.

"Who else could..."

Cheng Dalei looked over and saw only one person walking out of the team, a rouge horse with an embroidered velvet knife. He covered his face with a cloak. When he took off the cloak, he revealed a pretty face that could be broken. Eyes are like frost, eyebrows are murderous.

Cheng Dalei shivered, it wasn't that he didn't want to see Fan Lihua, the key was that Cheng Dalei couldn't beat her. This girl is a bit of a jerk. If she starts a rage, but she doesn't care, catching Cheng Dalei will be a fat beating.

"It's Zhaizhu Fan. Zhaizhu Fan grew up here, and the surrounding terrain is very familiar. You didn't expect it to be a big boss, right?" Qin Man laughed: "Are you surprised or surprised?"
