An arrogant person must have his own ideas when doing things. For example, the Goldman Sachs brothers and sisters. Ever since Goldman Sachs started working in the mining industry, Ling Xin'an has almost never interfered. The same goes for Gao Jie, who is responsible for clothing, but arrogant people have a common problem.

Don't like to communicate with others.

Goldman Sachs had previously mentioned the problem of insufficient manpower. He wrote in a letter and said that his arrogant temperament prevented him from asking for help. The same was true for Gao Jie. The clothing styles designed by Ling Xin'an had long been famous in Jiangzhou City, and no one else in the market

They would just think of it, but those chambers of commerce who were familiar with Ling Xin'an had already guessed that it was Master Ling's masterpiece, so they consciously did not plagiarize it.

But just because they don't do it doesn't mean that other chambers of commerce don't do it. This is true in any era when it comes to clothing. The so-called sense of design is just that you copy mine and I copy his.

What happened this time was to suppress Gao Jie and make her put away her arrogant neck. It also helped her to overcome this difficulty.

The next day, Ling Xin'an arrived at Ezhou City. When he arrived at the Ezhou Dam, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Countless people are working on it, digging channels and filling up embankments. They are densely packed but arranged in an orderly manner.

"See you, sir!" Seeing Ling Xin'an, Feng Kuangguang, who was in charge of the construction site, immediately came up and saluted. This man had been working with Feng Cai before, so Feng Cai told Ling Xin'an and handed him over to supervise the work.

"Kuan Guang, how is the situation now?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir, we are now recruiting 3,000 migrant workers and 5,000 slaves to work separately." Feng Kuangguang replied: "Now one-third of the dam has been completed. You can see that the river is almost one-third complete. It will be completed by the end of the year."

As for the construction of dams and rivers, one is no problem, but it will take longer to build fields."

"For land building, what do you think if we sell part of it to the people or to big businessmen?"

"Sir, it is faster to sell the gold and silver, but it will delay our progress, and their quality may be uneven. It is better for us to improve the price and sell it at a higher price!" Feng Kuangguang thought for a while and said.

"Have you ever measured how many acres of farmland will be created after the river is opened?"

"No less than 100,000 acres, sir, look!" Feng Kuangguang pointed to the plains washed out by the endless river in front of him: "When the time comes, we can both plant and breed these, and divide them according to regions.

Ezhou will be far ahead of the other four states."

Ling Xin'an nodded: "You can find some chambers of commerce that are good at planting and breeding, tell them in advance, and then take back some gold and silver first."

After that, Ling Xin'an said something briefly. Feng Kuangguang's eyes were bright and he couldn't help but nod.

"Sir, this little one will be arranged immediately."

"Don't worry, you can pretend to go out, and then as for how much and how to pay, just let them come to me." Ling Xin'an said with a smile.

"Understood, sir!"

"How is the management of the slaves now?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"Sir!" Before he finished speaking, he heard loud shouts from the front: "Where are you running?"

I saw a figure breaking free from the hinges and running towards the embankment. Behind him, several militiamen were chasing him.

Soon, the escaped slave was pinned down, and the soldiers immediately punched and kicked him.

"Stop!" Feng Kuangguang hurriedly ran over and shouted. When the soldiers saw him, they held down the escaping man and stopped attacking.

.

Looking at the man with blood on his face, a strange smell all over his body and scars everywhere, Feng Kuanguang wanted to kill him. Just when he was about to report to the adults that everything was fine, something happened that the slave had escaped.

"What's going on?" Ling Xin'an looked at them and asked.

Seeing that it was Master Ling, the soldiers replied: "Sir, this man wants to escape."

Ling Xin'an looked around and saw a young man who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was thin and his face was mixed with blood and mud, and his appearance was unclear. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in pieces. He was growling in a low voice and had that...

A pair of fierce eyes stared straight at Ling Xin'an.

"Kuan Guang, are there many such things?" Ling Xin'an did not ask why this person ran away, but asked an irrelevant topic.

"Sir, there are, but not many!" Feng Kuangguang replied with his head lowered.

"How much is not more?"

"This..." Feng Kuangguang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Tell the truth!"

"Sir, about two or three times a day!" Feng Kuangguang replied in a cold sweat.

"Why so many? These people from the Five Barbarians would rather die than work here?" Ling Xin'an said coldly.

"Sir!" Feng Kuangguang immediately knelt down and said: "It's because of the lack of manpower. We don't dare to kill too many people. Moreover, those who escaped said that they were from Zhou Dynasty. It's hard for us to tell them apart, so we have to punish them!"

"Is he from Zhou?" Ling Xin'an looked at him, then looked at the captured young man and said coldly: "Why did you run away?"

The young man looked at him, spitting blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "I am from Zhou. I was captured by Wu Yi and used as a vanguard. I finally survived. I just want to go back and see my family!"

"You said you were from Zhou and were captured by Wuyi. Where are you from?"

"People from Danzhou!"

"Throw him into the river and wash him clean for me to see!" Ling Xin'an looked at the face that was covered in dirt and had no appearance and said: "If he dares to resist, kill him!"

"Yes, sir!"

Teng Teng was thrown into the nearby river. The soldiers went down and directly pressed his head and rubbed him. The young man wanted to resist, but there was no room for resistance in terms of strength or momentum, so he had to gasp for air.

It wasn't until he pulled it up again that his face was finally visible due to his wet body.

He has dark cheekbones and thick eyebrows. Although he is thin, his physique looks strong. Ling Xin'an looked at him: "You said you are from Danzhou, what is Danzhou rich in?"

"We have a kind of tree that grows on the seaside, called coconut trees. They don't exist here. I don't think you have seen them. Danzhou is rich in them." The young man said.

“What’s east of Danzhou?”

"To the east is the sea!"

"What about to the west?"

"To the west is the Desolate Mountain, where the Desolate People live."

"Were you captured by the deserters?"

"Exactly, in order to resist the deserters, all the men of our clan were captured by them!"

"So you want to go back and find your people?"

"Exactly, please forgive me!" the young man begged.

"Okay, I promise you!" Ling Xin'an looked at him and said, "Come here and kill him!"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but be shocked. Even the soldiers were surprised. For a moment, they were stunned and forgot to take action.

The first person to react was the young man. He looked stunned and then burst out with a fierce gaze. He suddenly walked out from between the two soldiers like a loach, holding in his hand

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There was already a soldier's knife, and it was stabbing Ling Xin'an like lightning. Ling Xin'an stood there, looking at the businessman who was assassinating him, with a sarcastic expression on his lips.

bite……

Only a crisp sound was heard, and when everyone reacted, they saw that Ling Xin'an's sword had penetrated deeply into the opponent's chest, and blood was dripping down the blade.

Everyone's faces were pale, and their hearts were filled with fear. They were really afraid that Ling Xin'an might have something wrong with him.

"How did you find out?" The young man looked at Ling Xin'an, his mouth bleeding, and asked intermittently. He really didn't understand how Ling Xin'an found out.

"You are so stupid. How could someone who was captured by the deserters know that the east of Danzhou is the sea and the west of Danzhou is the deserters? How could you, a little boy who smells like milk, know so clearly the east, west, north, and south?

Where is it? You want to be a secret agent, you are too stupid, you think you are smart!" Ling Xin'an said coldly.

The young man's eyes widened and then dropped.

"Please forgive me!" Feng Kuangguang and others immediately knelt down and said.

"Get up! Look at the group that came with him and kill them all!" Ling Xin'an said.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but did not object. These were all people from the Five Barbarians. If they were killed, they would be killed. They stood up immediately and ran in the direction they had escaped from before. Soon, there were screams and deserted people trying to escape in all directions.

Slaves, but Ling Xin'an had already given the order, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey. The swords rose and fell, and in just one stick of incense, hundreds of corpses fell to the ground with their eyes open, and people began to come to deal with the scene.

The Wuyi slaves were trembling as they watched. Only now did they really feel fear, especially when they looked at the figure surrounded by many people. They couldn't see clearly, but everyone knew that he was the biggest person here.

"Kuan Guang!" Ling Xin'an said.

"The little one is here, sir!"

"You have to give these prisoners of war slaves a bath, at least once every three to five days, and then make sure they are well fed, not too full, and not so dirty. If a disease is transmitted, many people will die, even though they are left behind

There is so much land now, but it is also labor force after all, and it cannot be used blindly

We also need to spend money to buy labor. Men and women must be separated in the cells, and they must be separated when working. Let them wash them clean, and then check some. Maybe we Dazhou people are really among them, but it is not necessarily true. If it is true,

Yes, let it go, we can’t harm our Zhou people, do you know?”

"Yes, sir!" Feng Kuangguang nodded and said, "I will make better arrangements for the food here. I will also make arrangements for the bathing that you asked me to keep clean."

"Well, what's more important is that people with clean appearance are easier to find out which ones are spies and which ones are soldiers. Maybe there will be generals from the Five Barbarians among them. If they are so dirty all day long and can't tell their appearance, maybe in private

It's possible that they might secretly gather a crowd to rebel someday, and only by exposing them completely can we nip the problem in the bud."

Feng Kuangguang suddenly realized what he said and admired him greatly: "Thank you for your advice, I can make arrangements for the younger ones."

“Where are the migrant workers?”

"Come back to my lord, everything should be done as before, it won't have much impact."

"Very good. Remember, prisoners of war, slaves and migrant workers must manage their emotions and not let our migrant workers be provoked and affect the construction site. Therefore, starting from tomorrow, the construction sites on both sides will be surrounded by a fence so that they cannot see each other and must be isolated.

Come on."

"Yes, sir!" Feng Kuangguang said sincerely.
