Back Off, Let Me Come

Several old subordinates looked at each other in bewilderment.

Their respect and trust for Luo San was engraved in their bones. Even if they disagreed, they would not talk back directly. They would only think that Luo San was deceived by the bad guys: "Confused, confused? What's the reason for this?"

Does the captain also think that they deserve this humiliation?

Luo San chose to treat it carefully and ask clearly first.

Although the rope dart general said that the notice was in place, no one knew what the content of the notice was. If the most critical information was concealed, it was understandable that these old subordinates chose to refuse after careful consideration. He compared the intelligence with the old subordinates and asked: "Let's not talk about those first. Tell me first, what did the soldiers who came to notify say?"

Several old subordinates looked at each other, found a stamped document from the corner of the tent, and handed it to Luo San. This notice was issued by Shen Tang, and it had the seals of her, Xiahou Yu and Gu De. The above mentioned the task content in detail, encouraged the fifth-class doctor or above to actively participate in the reconstruction project, and marked the overall budget of the task.

The old subordinates who were notified also had to write a receipt and stamp it to show that they knew about this matter, so there was no possibility of concealment.

Luo San read ten lines at a time.

Luo San read it and was silent.

Luo San asked a soul-searching question: "Isn't this good?"

If it weren't for Luo San's special situation, he might have received a notice: "Tell me, what are you dissatisfied with?"

Several old subordinates looked at each other in silence.

I don't understand why the captain spoke to others in just a few days. This is not a notice, it is clearly a humiliation in black and white, reaching the level of great shame! It said something about military luck and military merit. They believe in military merit but don't believe in military luck.

It's a country, so you dare to talk about military luck?

A mere rural warlord dares to talk about horse racing.

Apart from the empty promise of military luck and vague military merit, there are no other substantial benefits. Even if there are, it is estimated that they are only gold and silver awards that are better than nothing. These vulgar things can impress ordinary people, but it is difficult to impress warriors with some strength.

In summary, this job cannot be done.

"... Even if we take a step back, the military merits are enough, and the martial luck is enough... that is absurd." Several old subordinates have been regular soldiers for more than ten or twenty years, and they are warriors with clear nationality. How many times have they received martial luck awards in Suginaga County in so many years?

Each person can be counted with two hands.

I don’t know if there are hundreds of thousands of them added up.

The budget for this project has been opened up for 10 million martial luck.

To put it bluntly, this makeshift team now leads them to the capital, overthrows the king, and robs the national seal, but they can’t shake out a few national luck. It’s good enough if the national luck is not in deficit. If there is a surplus, it will be closely related to the royal family and the aristocratic families. The remaining thin broth is what they have a chance to fight for...

This shows how outrageous this notice is.

Luo San: "..."

He took several deep breaths in secret to calm down his agitated chest.

He said reluctantly: "...You are not to blame for the misunderstanding. I have something to say here, you should listen carefully, remember it in your heart, and don't publicize it to the outside world-this force is backed by Kangguo, that is, Kangguo entrenched in the northwest and southwest. Do you think this budget can be fulfilled? Kangguo sent people to the central region to make arrangements, which would not be as simple as a simple test. The future focus must be on this area, and the game will be played around the central region. Kangguo will not breach the contract for this million military fortune unless it is absolutely necessary."

After all, there are only a few idealists in this world who work for love, and there are more common people who need to support their families. No matter which force it is, if you want your subordinates to fight hard, you must give them enough spiritually and materially. Kangguo has come to this day, it is impossible not to understand this.

As for whether the queen will raise troops and establish herself in the future?

Before raising troops and establishing herself, you can use Kangguo's public account, so you are not afraid of defaulting.

A few old subordinates: "..."

Some of them were dumbfounded and opened their mouths wide, speechless for a long time.

Although Kangguo is invincible in the northwest and southwest, and a dog passing by will be slapped, it has almost no reputation in other middle and lower classes. It was those two high-profile and narcissistic biographies of famous officials and celebrities that opened the door, and folk trade made its presence felt.

They have some impression of Kangguo.

Of course, the impression is not very good.

It can be summed up in labels: stupid people with a lot of money, narcissistic and arrogant, rural tyrants, barbaric but good at fighting, and not very cultured.

"What should I do about this?"

"If it's true, I rejected it right away..."

On the premise that it can be fulfilled, several people calculated the benefits and swallowed their saliva nervously. When they thought about how they accurately avoided the overwhelming wealth and held an umbrella when they couldn't avoid it, they wished that the cat would take away their tongue... Why did they refuse?

If they refused with a strong will, wouldn't they be despised if they turned back?

But if they didn't fight for it, it seemed more painful.

Who would have thought that there was a big money owner behind the new owner!

For a while, several people were in a dilemma.

Luo San sighed and said, "I'll take care of this matter."

Several old subordinates blushed: "Sorry to trouble you."

Luo San waved his hand.

At his age, he has long seen things through.

Face is only valuable when it can be exchanged for benefits, otherwise it is dispensable. People can't miss out on great wealth for a little face. His old subordinates are all poor people with little foundation. If he doesn't take care of them, who will?

He found Shen Tang, who was quite surprised. When he learned about his purpose, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought Luo Hou had encountered something big. Why does it need to go there in person for such a small matter? Just let them go directly, it won't be a problem."

Luo San didn't see the matter as simple as that.

After his old subordinates clearly refused, the number of people who shared the military fortune decreased, and each person was expected to get more.

At this time, the people who had refused changed their minds and jumped out to say that they wanted to share a share. Isn't it equivalent to affecting the fundamental interests of these people? They didn't say anything on the surface, but they must have opinions in their hearts.

Being hated by so many people at once will make it difficult in the future.

Who knows when they will trip him up?

Luo San still remembered what the rope dart general said. She said that this kind of large-scale project was given to the soldiers below, which was a disguised welfare. It was not her turn at all when she reached her level of strength. The opportunity was rare.

If you want to have the best of both worlds, you need someone to speak up.

Shen Tang understood Luo San's little trick in an instant and didn't mind selling him a good deal.

The matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

The next day, Luo San left the dungeon to test the medicine and practice martial arts as usual. He strolled to the outer city and saw from a distance that the bricks that were only five layers yesterday had been piled up to the twelfth layer. The main part of the city wall was completed in five days. Ninety percent of the old city wall was demolished. After replanning, the new city wall was 40 percent larger than the original one.

The speed was so fast that some common people who did not go out or approach the outer city for several days wanted to scratch their heads and doubt their lives - how did the original city wall disappear? How did the city wall get close to their homes? How did the new city wall get built in a few days? When did the government send the corvée? Why didn't the corvée notify his family? Or did he accidentally escape the corvée? Escaping corvée is deadly!

In the several battles in Suginaga County, the young and strong who could run away ran away, and the rest were trembling, either hiding or thinking about how to escape. The government imposed heavy penalties on those who escaped corvée, and they would be skinned if they didn't die. Who knew that after a few days, it was still calm.

It can't be said to be calm.

To be precise, weird things happened frequently!

First, if you introduce three people to the designated grain store to board the plane, you can get ten kilograms of rice for free. It will be cashed on the spot, absolutely without any tricks, but the three people who were pulled in will only be counted once. Second, these grain stores sell grain at a limited price that is abnormally low.

The common people did not believe in pie in the sky at first, and suspected that this was a trick to trick them out and then catch them all in one fell swoop - in the past, those who massacred the city would also use similar tricks to deceive people, and those who were deceived would lose money to avoid disasters at the least, or even their entire family’s lives would be in danger.

The vigilance born in the troubled times made them dare only to wait and see.

However, there are always people who are forced to take risks by life.

Until she received ten kilograms of rice, the woman’s expression was still dazed.

The three skinny children looked at her with their skinny and sunken eyes, worriedly grabbing her patched skirt and shouting softly, and she came back to her senses after shouting several times - she really had no choice, so she let her three children come out with him to make up the number.

Even if it was a lie, the four of us would die together.

As a result, we actually received the grain. The woman swallowed her saliva, only to feel that the ten kilograms of grain in her arms were heavy and hot. Seeing her helpless expression standing at the door without moving, the grain shop clerk stepped forward and asked with concern: "Too heavy to hold? Let's find someone to send it back to you?"

The clerk's words not only did not move the woman, but turned him into a hedgehog, with all the thorns on his body bursting, and his face was written with alert panic and fear, almost running away with the children. Only when he ran home did he relax a little and let the children lock the door.

Peeking out through the gap in the wooden door, she was relieved to make sure that no one was following her. Looking at the rice wrapped in dirty rags, looking up at the eager eyes of the three children, she gritted her teeth and said: "The four of us will eat our fill today."

Not a pot of porridge that could count the rice grains, but a half-kilogram of rice. Even if she died, she would die with a full stomach.

The people from the grain store came to grab the rice back, and the half pound was also eaten.

Perhaps it was the prospect of being full that stimulated their potential. The three hungry children were busy making fire and adding firewood. The smoke from the broken house attracted the neighbors to look around, but the people from the grain store still didn't come. The rice was still cooking in the pot, but the neighbors came first, and they knew they were here to borrow food without opening the door.

Those young and strong who could run away had all run away, and the remaining neighbors were mostly old and weak. Each household supported each other to survive until today. Even if the neighbors didn't come to borrow food, she would also go to the door to deliver a few taels. The neighbor who borrowed food was an old man who had lost his son in his middle age. He held a broken bowl filled with half a bowl, and thanked him repeatedly while crying. Before long, the smoke from the cooking became a piece, and this cold place became popular.

The four people in this family ate until they were full, and there was still some left in the pot.

"Save it for tomorrow morning."

She tossed and turned until dawn.

There was no one at the grain store outside the door. She took out the cold and hard rice left over from last night from the corner, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it hard for a few bites, and tears fell unconsciously. She finally believed that last night's full stomach was not a dream, and she burst into tears for a while.

After venting her emotions, she calmed down a little.

She lent out the rice from last night, and there were still two pounds left.

If she mixed some other things in it, it could last for another half a month. What after that? The savings left by the man in the family were few cents, and the children's winter clothes were tattered. If she didn't think of a way, she would either starve to death or freeze to death. She thought of the bag of rice.

She ran around the neighborhood and gathered nine more people.

Finally, she brought back 30 pounds of grain.

She took some of it as errand fees, and with the grain she bought with the remaining savings, the family of four didn't have to worry about food problems for the time being. The woman was smart. Before the news spread on a large scale, she ran to the grain store a few more times, and finally she even had some surplus grain to exchange for some cheap old clothes. The materials taken from old clothes are not warm, but if you modify them and wear them, you will be less cold.

The common people were on high alert, and Shen Tang's re-registration work was progressing slowly. However, with this activity of recruiting people to send rice and grain, they all came out one by one, fearing that they would not be able to get the grain if they were late. In addition to free grain and low-priced grain, the grain shop also sold cakes. The price of a cake was half of the cost, and three cakes could keep an adult's basic physical strength for a whole day.

In just ten days, the situation was completely stabilized.

The young and strong who had fled were gradually rushing back after hearing the news.

So much so that Luo San, who was strolling outside, heard someone saying something sarcastic: "If we had known that adults would come to rescue us, those thieves should have fallen earlier... How much more suffering did they cause us?"

Other listeners echoed this statement.

Luo San almost laughed when he heard it.

But he didn't want to argue with these fools.

Attacking cities and strongholds, massacring and looting, this is the main theme of troubled times. They took great pains to recruit so many people to attack the city, and finally conquered it. If they don't make a fortune, what do they want? Just to be bored? The female ruler sent by Kangguo is the outlier in troubled times!

Maybe she is really bored.

She has to go to other people's homes to shine and spread benevolence.

If other people are unwilling, she will beat them until they are willing.

"Don't be angry, Lord Luo."

The medical practitioner of Xinglin who was observing also heard these gossips, and his scalp tingled for a moment, fearing that the other party would get angry and beat him into a meat pie if they disagreed. Luo San didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "Why should I bother with these fools? How can they understand? This kind of atmosphere should be banned, lest someone take it seriously. Next time, some monsters and demons come, and they think that they are here to do charity, and rush to cooperate with them from inside and outside, that would be interesting."

Medical practitioner of Xinglin: "..."

For a moment, it was unclear whether the other party was angry or not.

The situation in Suginaga County stabilized too quickly, and the news spread to the royal court, causing an uproar. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this warlord force was ambitious and could not be satisfied with such a small appetite. If we don't send troops to stop it, the consequences will be disastrous.

However, who should be sent to fight this battle?

The generals kept silent, and they were all unsure.

The battle in Suginaga County also showed them the foundation of the grass-roots team. They were not only good at fighting, but also had a steady supply of food and grass.

Judging from the terrain of the warlord-occupied area, the arable land in the territory could not support such a large-scale military mobilization, let alone pay out a huge amount of food to appease the victims and quickly win the hearts of the people. There is only one answer - there is a force secretly supporting this warlord!

If the enemy in secret is not caught -

The generals will not feel at ease on the battlefield, for fear of being stabbed in the back!

The math in the last chapter was wrong by Xianggu, woo woo woo, think about how to modify it.
