Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 1350 1350: 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 replace his right servant. Shooting vacancies, 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 - it has been shattered into dregs 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 his superiors to test him, or that he is obsessed with instigating rebellion.

Shen Tang scratched his cheek unnaturally with his fingers.

He said with a smile: "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, which would make a warlord who is a little wary 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, during the past few months of siege, 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 dismantled, 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, these tasks are indispensable for Luo San’s old department.

They are most familiar with Suginaga County.

Looking at the busy scenes everywhere, the old team felt in a trance, with a sense of déjà 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 Sanjiu: "..."

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, snatch 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 is about four inches thick. Most of them are 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 - there are orders in the army, and they are brave men of the fifth class or above. Warriors were recruited to carry bricks and their military merits were calculated.

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 you have 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 got up early in the morning and went out for a walk. The demolished city wall had just cleared a foundation. He returned to the dungeon to run for a few weeks before coming out for lunch. He walked towards the garrison camp as usual and saw that the city bricks had become three layers. He walked again in the evening and the city bricks had been piled up to five layers...

Luo San: "..."

At this time, a large shadow fell on his head. He looked up and saw a giant dragon python rolling seven or eight bricks in the sky. He really couldn't use the word "fly" to describe the other party's behavior.

If I remember correctly -

This net-shaped dragon python seems to be someone's martial courage totem.

Someone's strength seems to be an eighteen-level great general?

If this wretched dragon python is Luo San's illusion, then how to explain the humpback whale that rains wherever it flies? This humpback whale is surrounded by a ball of salty and fishy sea water, and it flies low with its tail swinging. If you get closer, you can still smell the smell of sea water. Luo San stared at the humpback whale staggering to the destination, spitting out bricks one by one.

Each brick was wet.

It was covered with the saliva of the humpback whale.

But it was fine as long as it could be used.

Anyway, no enemy would stick out their tongue to lick this thing.

After unloading, the humpback whale let out a long howl, wagging its tail and turning into martial energy to drill back into Luo Sha's tiger talisman. Luo San then saw that Luo Sha had been sitting on the back of the humpback whale. Allowing marine life to move in the sky itself consumes a lot of extra martial energy.

The size of the humpback whale also made the task more difficult.

"What are you doing?"

Gong Xichou was shirtless, with a thin layer of sweat clinging to his skin, revealing a bright color in the sun. He was sitting cross-legged on the bricks, chewing fist-sized meat buns with relish. Seeing Luo San appear, Gong Xichou grabbed the tail of Wudan Totem and wiped the grease off his mouth: "You came just in time, get to work."

Why should he work while the captives don't?

Shouldn't Mama be partial to herself?

Luo San: "...How can I do this?"

Gong Xichou rolled his eyes, propped up his legs, and put his elbows on the coiled Wudan Totem, putting all his weight on the latter, and Wudan Totem also surrounded him, with a snake head erect, and followed Luo San with an oppressive gaze. Gong Xichou sneered contemptuously: "An eleventh-level right guard is still arrogant, I can do it, let alone you?"

Luo San said in a cold tone: "Tsk, boy, then do you dare to let me experience your eighteenth-level great chief?"

Gong Xichou dares to agree, he dares to stew snake soup tonight.

Gong Xichou curled his lips: "Tsk, Lao Deng."

Luo San looked here for a long time.

It was unexpectedly discovered that the people who were transporting bricks here were all Wudan warriors, and their strength was at the fifth-class doctor or above. Although the number was not large, it was very shocking that there was not a single ordinary person among them. What was even more shocking was that they had no opinions.

This was very rare among the arrogant Wudan warriors.

You should know that this kind of project, even if there are Wudan warriors involved, is only under special circumstances-for example, the front-line fortifications are too urgent, and the conscription of corvée is not in time. At this time, the lower-level soldiers will be driven to be used as human apprentices. Warriors with a little status can only be supervisors at most to suppress the possible mutiny crisis. Let them be human apprentices? Do these humble and hard work?

As soon as this order was issued, they would mutiny.

No one can afford the risk of mutiny.

"Where are the other soldiers?"

Gong Xichou said: "They went to repair the road."

The generals are working, and the soldiers still want to rest?

Luo San: "..."

Are you sure you are not preparing for a mutiny?

The old man finally couldn't help his curiosity.

What is Gong Xichou's purpose in doing this?

Don't you think this is a humiliation?

Gong Xichou wiped his sweat, touched the totem snake head, and said in a resentful tone: "A brother with an older brother is a weed."

Not to mention carrying bricks, even if he was asked to dig manure, Gong Xichou would probably have to consider the consequences of not doing it.

Luo San: "..."

I don't really understand, but I know Gong Xichou is not willing.

Ask Luo Sha the same question again.

Luo Sha blinked blankly: "Isn't this what he should do?"

Although it was different from what his grandfather said - the status of a martial warrior was not that high, and he couldn't do whatever he wanted - but he had just arrived, and in order to integrate into the environment as soon as possible, he still had to follow the local customs and couldn't sing against others in a high-profile manner. It was just carrying bricks, not a job that involved fighting on the battlefield. Not only was there no risk of life, but he also received military merits. Why did he object?

Asked others again -

Others had some complaints, but they gave too much. People can't give up military merits and luck for a little "dignity".

If they are given a meager reward, they would rather die than be humiliated!

If it can be converted into military merits and fortune, or calculated by the block?

Don't move, let them do this job!

Luo San fell into a strange silence: "That's it?"

The rope dart general almost jumped up and down: "What do you mean by that? The higher-ups approved a budget of 100 million for military fortune. Do you know how many elite soldiers would be drawn from the army for such a large renovation project under normal circumstances? At least 3,000, at most 5,000! The deadline is one month to complete it!"

This does not include various subsidies and living budgets.

Luo San didn't quite understand: "Then?"

The rope dart general came over and lowered his voice, mysteriously: "Then, this budget will be divided among these people now."

Luo San: "......???"

The rope dart general gritted his teeth: "Do you think the quota 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 escort 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 escort 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 escort 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 escort 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. How could they complain? No matter what, they couldn't let the old captain take care of themselves again. I'm worried.

Luo San came up and asked to verify the authenticity of what Captain Rope Guard said.

"You know everything?"

"true."

"...It's not that we don't want to, it's actually because they bullied me too much." Several of the old men 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!"

∑(っ°Д°;)っ

There is no heating here 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?
