Chapter 13501350: Big-project! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
Shen Tang's extremely natural reaction gave Luo San a premonition that something was wrong.
The other party didn't seem to have the ambition he thought he had?
He considered it carefully and said, "It's not that I intend to sow discord. It's just that the queen's current power...is far away from the center of the royal court. If an adulterer takes the opportunity to make false accusations and instigate, the queen may be in danger. I heard that Lord Kang intends to let Lin Feng take the place of his right servant. There is no vacancy, so the easy dispatch of such heroes here may not be a sign of the female monarch..."
It is better to strike first than to suffer disaster later.
Sometimes warlords like to support their troops in troubled times, not out of ambition, but to protect themselves. Trust between people is as thin as cicada wings, let alone between monarchs and ministers. And trust has been shattered to pieces by thousands of years of troubled times, and there is no way to get it back.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others.
I think this lady also understands this truth.
Shen Tang opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
She thought Luo San had guessed her real vest, and just when she was deciding whether to admit it or to quibble, Luo San gave herself a big surprise. He obviously misunderstood and mistakenly thought that Shen Tang was a confidant who was operating under the king's orders. Good guy, if he follows Luo San's script, Shen Tang will suspect that he is a spy sent by the superiors to test him, or that he is evil and wants to instigate rebellion.
Shen Tang scratched his cheek unnaturally with his fingers.
He smiled and said, "Marquis Luo misunderstood."
She had to think of how to say it without being too embarrassed.
Luo San's surprise was written directly on his face.
Who would have thought that in these troubled times when rituals and music have collapsed, there are still monarchs and ministers who trust each other? If this female gentleman is not lying, then Luo San himself is overthinking. If she deliberately guarded herself against revealing her true feelings, that would be understandable. The final analysis of this matter is that Luo San was too abrupt and presumptuous. As a prisoner, he said this rashly, and a warlord who was a little wary would have to think twice.
Thinking of this, Luo San understood: "Since you didn't mean it, you can just assume that what I just said was nonsense, so don't take it to heart."
Shen Tang's thoughts of explanation were successfully interrupted.
Shen Tang: "..."
The territory of Suinaga County is not large, and the population within the territory is not large. In addition, due to the siege for several months, all the refugees who could escape have escaped. The territory is not said to be empty, but there are not many people living there. Shen Tang could only roll up his sleeves, send people to count the population, and prepare disaster relief supplies. In addition to distributing supplies and recreating household registers, people also had to order people to clean up the ruins and build city fortifications. They were extremely busy.
"This speed is faster than ours."
Shen Tang felt so happy when he led his troops to smash down the wall, and how painful it was when he sent people to repair it. Before repairing and rebuilding, the parts previously built by Luo San must be demolished, nearby rocks must be quarried, and the location of the city wall must be re-planned to make the distribution of buildings in the city more reasonable.
Naturally, Luo San’s old department is indispensable for these tasks.
They are most familiar with Suginaga County.
Looking at the busy scenes everywhere, the old team felt in a trance, with a sense of half-dreaming and half-awake deja vu - would they lose or win the battle with the enemy? It seems that no matter which side wins or loses, the same people end up working here.
So what was the purpose of demolishing the house at that time?
"Do we win or lose?"
Luo San’s old department: “…”
When they thought about the battlefield where some familiar faces were buried forever, and when they thought about the scene in front of them of people working on repairs regardless of enemy or friend, some people also fell into philosophical thinking - what is the meaning of war?
However, this problem did not bother them for long.
The meaning of war is that it is meaningless.
If they don't beat others, then others won't follow their example and kick open their doors, plunder every morsel of food in their homes, **** away their relatives, and occupy their houses and fields? No one wants to be the one with nothing, so they can only strike first.
A colleague from the old department said: "It should be considered a defeat."
He raised his hand and pointed at a huge stone flying in the sky, and said something that was irrefutable: "If we win, the stones building the city wall will roll on the ground instead of flying in the sky."
A normal city brick only weighs forty or fifty kilograms, is about one foot three inches long and four inches thick, and is mostly blue-gray striped bricks. This kind of city brick can only block ordinary people who cannot practice, but has no effect on powerful warriors and large-scale military formations.
In view of the destructive power of brave warriors, the city bricks used to cast the city walls here are basically mountain stones quarried nearby. Each piece is cut according to a certain proportion, and the length is measured in feet. The people who built the city wall had to use manpower to drag such a big thing from the quarry piece by piece. The efficiency was low, the labor was heavy, and the environment was harsh. A large number of common people would die every time...
This caused the common people to tremble with fear when they heard that the government was recruiting corvees, and they would rather serve as soldiers on the battlefield than to be slaves.
You will die on the battlefield, but there is a small chance that you will turn around and change your life.
Being a disciple is very likely to lead to death from exhaustion.
Nowadays, these city bricks that make people's legs weak are no longer dragged on the ground, but directly flying in the sky. The people carrying the city bricks are still big shots - military officials, fifth-level doctors or above, brave warriors He was requisitioned to move bricks and counted for military merit.
It doesn’t matter if the fifth-class doctor can’t fly.
Dozens of ordinary people can't drag them together in a day, but a fifth-level doctor can make more than twenty round trips in half a day. If he has enough martial energy, it won't be a problem to transport fifty. Those who can fly into the sky are more efficient. The only thing that can limit the efficiency of building the city wall is not the manpower, but the mining speed of the quarry.
Wu Dan Wu Zhe, a Rentu Plus that is more useful than Rentu.
Luo San: "..."
He danced after smelling the chicken. When he went out for a walk in the morning, a piece of the foundation of the demolished city wall had just been cleared. He went back to the dungeon to run for a few weeks before going out for lunch. He habitually walked towards the garrison camp and saw the city bricks. Become three layers. In the evening, I walked around again and saw that the city bricks had been piled up to the fifth floor...
Luo San: "..."
At this time, a large shadow fell above the head. When he looked up, he saw a giant dragon python curling up seven or eight city bricks and pupating in the sky. He really couldn't use the word "fly" to describe the other party's behavior.
If you remember well—
This reticulated dragon python seems to be someone's totem of courage.
Someone's strength seems to be that of an eighteenth-level concubine?
If this wretched dragon python is Luo San's hallucination, then how to explain the humpback whale that flies wherever it rains? Surrounded by a mass of salty water, this bowback whale flew past low altitude with its tail wagging. If you get closer, you can still smell the smell of sea water. Luo San stared at the bowback whale staggering to its destination, opening its mouth and spitting out city bricks one after another.
Every city brick is wet.
Covered in humpback whale saliva.
But, as long as it works.
Anyway, no enemy would stick out their tongues to lick this thing.
After unloading the cargo, the bowback whale let out a long roar, swung its tail and turned into a force of strength to get back into Luo Sha's tiger talisman. Only then did Luo San see Luo Sha sitting on the back of the humpback whale. Letting marine life move in the sky will consume a lot of extra martial energy.
The humpback whale's size also makes the task difficult.
"What are you doing?"
Gong Xiqiu was shirtless, with a thin layer of sweat clinging to his skin, revealing a bright color in the sunlight. He was sitting cross-legged on the city bricks, chewing on the fist-sized meat buns with relish. Seeing Luo San appear, Gong Xiqiu casually grabbed the tail of Wudan Totem and wiped the grease from his mouth: "You came just in time, let's get to work."
Why should he work and the prisoners should not?
Shouldn't Mama be partial to herself?
Luo San: "...how can I do this?"
Luo San said in a cool tone: "Tsk, Shuzi, then do you dare to let me teach you, an eighteenth-level concubine?" Gong Xiqiu dared to respond, and he dared to stew snake soup tonight.
Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Tsk, Lao Deng."
Luo San looked here for a long time.
Unexpectedly, I found that the people who were delivering city bricks here were all brave warriors, and their strength was at the level of fifth-level doctor or above. Although the number of people was not large, it was very scary to see not one ordinary person inside. What's even more shocking is that they have no objections.
This is very rare among the proud group of brave warriors.
You must know that even if brave warriors are involved in this kind of project, it is only under special circumstances - for example, the frontline fortification project is too urgent and the corvee recruitment cannot be made in time. In this case, the lower-level soldiers are driven to be used as slaves, and warriors with some status can only be used as slaves. An overseer to suppress the possible crisis of mutiny. Let them become disciples? Doing these menial and backbreaking jobs?
If the front leg issues such an order, the back leg will mutiny.
No one can afford the risk of mutiny.
"Where are the other soldiers?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "We are building roads."
The general is already working, but the soldiers still want to rest?
Luo San: "..."
Are you sure you're not planning a mutiny?
In the end, the old man couldn't hold back his curiosity.
What is Gong Xiqiu's purpose in doing this?
Don't you think this is humiliating?
Gong Xiqiu wiped his sweat, touched a totem snake head, and said in a resentful tone: "A younger brother with an older brother is just a grass."
Not to mention carrying city bricks, even if he was asked to dig out excrement, Gong Xiqiu would most likely have to consider the consequences of not doing it.
Luo San: "..."
I don’t understand it very well, but I know that Gong Xiqiu did not do it voluntarily.
Ask Luo Sha the same question again.
Luo Sha blinked blankly: "Isn't this what it should be?"
Although the situation was different from what his grandfather told him - the status of a brave warrior was not that high at all, and he could not do whatever he wanted - but he had just arrived, and in order to integrate into the environment as quickly as possible, he still had to follow the local customs, and could not make high-profile objections to others. It was just carrying a city brick, and it wasn't a job involving fighting on the battlefield. Not only was there no risk to one's life, but it was still rewarded with military honors. Why was he opposed to it?
Ask the others—
Others complained a little, but they gave too much. People cannot give up military exploits and luck just for the sake of a little "dignity".
If given a meager reward, they would rather die than be humiliated!
If it can be converted into military merit and fortune, should it be calculated in terms of chunks?
Don't move, let them do the job!
Luo San fell into a strange silence: "That's it?"
The rope **** general almost jumped: "What do you mean this? The higher ups have approved a budget of 10 million for military operations. Do you know how many elites will be mobilized from the army for such a major repair project under normal circumstances? As few as three thousand, as many as five thousand! Time limit Completed in January!”
This does not include various subsidies and living budget.
Luo San didn't understand very well: "Then?"
The rope **** general came over and lowered his voice, mysteriously: "Then, this budget will be divided among these people now."
Luo San: "...???"
The rope **** general gritted his teeth: "Do you think the spot is easy to grab?"
When the project was completed, the people below did complain, but it was not because of what Luo San thought, but because the brave warriors below the fifth-level doctor felt that they were being treated unfairly. Why should they be blocked and not allowed to enter? My lord has underestimated them!
Including the rope **** generals, they all arranged for their confidants to go over and take a sip of the soup. Let the cronies help move the city bricks to a relatively open place, and then they will send the city bricks to the destination. The entire process will be considered as effort, and will be allocated separately later in private.
The rope **** general agreed very much with what my sister had said before.
This kind of fat is almost common.
In the past, it was only for the soldiers below, and brave warriors with a certain strength or above were not allowed to participate, let alone compete with the soldiers for profit. If they hadn't been chasing efficiency and rushing for time this time, they wouldn't have been allowed to join. Seeing that Luo San still had no idea, the rope **** general said: "If this project is for soldiers to work for one month, three thousand people, and the military transportation they receive equally is replaced by rice, grains, fruits and vegetables, in Kangguo Province, a family can With five mouthfuls of food and drink, you can live a whole year.”
Luo San: "..."
That's how he understood it.
Kang State has a large population, a stable situation, and careful management, so it is reasonable to have a surplus in national fortunes. Luo San added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that this work was not impossible. However, he still has a problem.
"Why don't you see the old people from Suinaga County?"
There are about a dozen brave warriors above fifth-level doctors in Shanyong County. Not counting those who are still recovering from injuries, why aren't the others there? You can't do this intentionally to exclude others in the workplace, right? It is indeed difficult for newcomers to get the benefits...
I know this rationally, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart.
The rope **** general took a bite of the meat bun to replenish his strength.
Said: "They don't want to come."
Luo San: "..."
For this kind of fat job with obvious benefits, Shen Tang has always disliked coercion. He comes when he likes it and doesn't give it to others. Anyway, the news is in place. Good things must be robbed to reflect their true value, and it seems cheap to force them out.
He walked as fast as flying to find his old subordinates.
Everyone in the old department looked unhappy.
Seeing Luo San, everyone restrained their sadness and prepared to report good news rather than bad news. Two days ago, they were touched by all kinds of preferential treatment, but today their true colors were revealed. This made them complain no matter what, they couldn't let the old captain worry about them anymore. .
Luo San came up and asked to verify the truth of what Captain Rope Guard said.
"You know everything?"
"true."
"...It's not because we don't want to, but it's really because they bullied me too much." Several of the old subordinates said, their eyes red with grievance, but there was nothing they could do. They are the slaves of the people and the meat of the fish. Now they can't resist, so they can only swallow their grievances.
Luo San held back a sentence for a long time: "...Confused!"

There is no heating in Shiitake, so the study room has to turn on the air conditioner and heater every night to keep the fingers comfortable (the keyboard used is still aluminum, metal keyboard, super cold fingers), and then I discovered a problem, and dandruff started to increase...
Is there any solution?
