The people who work in Dujiangyan mainly come from several surrounding counties. They were very unfamiliar with Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Jinchuan Bank before, and many people have never heard of them.
But recently, due to the procedures for borrowing grain, people can see the flags of the chamber of commerce and the bank every day.
Especially the flag of the bank, they feel warm to it as soon as they see it.
After all, it was Jinchuan Bank that borrowed food at very low interest rates during their most difficult time, allowing them to tide over the difficulties.
Next is the black flag of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
In years of famine, although the life of bandits is not easy, they will not starve to death by relying on the food they have accumulated in previous years.
But unfortunately they met Zhang Liang.
Although Dujiangyan was not on Zhang Liang's only way back, Zhang Liang tested his military skills and sent people by boat from the Minjiang River to Dujiangyan to fight back.
After wiping out the two groups of bandits trained by the powerful, they also took care of five or six other groups of bandits in the surrounding area.
Although most of the bandits escaped because they were familiar with the terrain, their food was confiscated by Zhang Liang.
These days, people can't open the pot at home, and even if bandits rob, they can't get out any money or water.
The bandits were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore. Several big bosses gathered together and formed a large bandit team of more than a thousand people. They took risks to rob the Dujiangyan construction site.
Although there are more than 10,000 people working in Dujiangyan, bandits have long sown the seeds of fear in the hearts of the people.
Seeing the large bandits, which numbered more than a thousand people, approaching in a menacing manner, the common people were frightened and fled in droves.
Just when the bandits were about to rush into the canteen, the bodyguards took action.
Countless people witnessed the most shocking battle in their lives.
Heavy crossbow arrows, as thick and as long as spears, flew into the group of bandits in rows with a sharp whistling sound.
In their eyes, the vicious bandits fell down in rows like straw!
Then countless fist-sized stones hit the bandit's head like raindrops.
On the mountain road where bandits gathered, there were clouds of blood mist everywhere!
Every cloud of blood mist represents the death of at least one bandit!
After the heavy crossbows and catapults attacked, the bodyguards lined up in two neat square formations and took the stage!
In fact, the bodyguard had already discovered the existence of the bandits, and the reason why he asked them to rush to the cafeteria before starting their attack was because there was an open space in front of the cafeteria.
To the south of the open space is the river and to the west is the canteen.
The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project cannot be completed in a day or two, so the canteen has plenty of materials.
The people brought in countless thigh-thick logs and built them one by one.
The bandits don't have enough tools and are difficult to destroy.
As long as the bodyguards blocked the east and north sides, they would trap the bandits in the open space.
In fact, there were nearly a thousand bandits left at this time, and the two phalanxes of the escorts totaled only over a hundred people.
But just over a hundred people surrounded nearly a thousand bandits!
Then the encirclement circle continued to shrink, and each bandit became the soul of the bodyguard's sword.
When the bandits in the encirclement surrounded each other and there was really no room to shrink, the bandits began to surrender.
The company commander who led the team originally wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, but was stopped by Wei Datong.
Wei Datong sent these bandits to the most dangerous areas to do the heaviest work, but their daily food was only half of that of the common people.
If anyone dares to be lazy, the escorts will naturally deal with them.
After this incident, people felt at ease every time they saw the black flag of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau or the black uniforms of the escorts.
So when Jin Feng and the others rounded the corner of the mountain and appeared in front of the people, many people gave them friendly looks.
There were also many people who took some time out from their busy schedule to discuss a few words.
"What do these people do?"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that they were carrying the black flag of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and wearing escort uniforms?"
"Of course I know they are all from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, but have you ever seen such a big battle?"
"That's not true. There must be a hundred or ten people here, all riding tall horses. I guess they have a lot of background."
"Could it be the legendary Mr. Jin who is here?"
"Don't tell me, it's really possible."
"If Mr. Jin comes, I have to thank him very much. If he hadn't been so compassionate, my whole family would have starved to death."
"Does Mr. Jin know who you are? You were stopped by the escort before you even arrived."
"Then I will kowtow to him from a distance."
"I also have to give in. If it weren't for Mr. Jin, my family wouldn't be able to survive this year!"
"Look, the manager of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau came over to greet you."
"Master Wei seems to have come out too!"
"It's not really Mr. Jin who's here, is it?"
"Xiao Yao, you have the sharpest ears. I'll dig the soil for you. Go and listen to see if it's Mr. Jin?"
…
Purebred war horses are rare species in Dakang and are rarely seen in ordinary times.
Now a hundred-man cavalry team appeared, which suddenly attracted the attention of many people.
To engage in such a big battle, it's not that Jin Feng likes ostentation, but that he has no other choice.
The Ninth Princess has killed so many powerful people. If someone gets mad and sends experts to assassinate them, or bribes bandits to take revenge on them, and there are not enough bodyguards to take care of security, wouldn't that be dangerous?
So now when Ninth Princess and Jin Feng go out, they are surrounded by bodyguards.
"Sir, Your Highness, thank you for your hard work coming from a long distance!"
The escort company commander in charge of the Dujiangyan construction site saluted Jin Feng and Ninth Princess with clasped fists.
Qin'er frowned slightly when she heard this.
The Ninth Princess has a distinguished status. According to the rules, the company commander should put "Your Highness" in front of Jin Feng.
But the escort put it behind him.
This means that in the mind of the escort, Jin Feng is more important than the Ninth Princess.
But Qin'er didn't say much.
She knew that Jin Feng's status in the mind of the escort was too important.
Not to mention the Ninth Princess, even if the emperor comes, the bodyguard may greet Jin Feng first.
Not only the escorts, but also in Xihewan Village, when Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess went out together, the villagers greeted Jin Feng first and then the Ninth Princess.
Qin'er has gotten used to it, but she still feels a little unhappy.
"You guys have really worked hard."
Jin Feng jumped off his horse and walked side by side with the company commander: "How is the situation here?"
"The situation is quite stable..."
The company commander was half a step behind Jin Feng and reported to him the recent construction status of Dujiangyan.
A few steps away from the two of them were ordinary people working.
Although they did not dare to go up and eavesdrop, neither Jin Feng nor the company commander deliberately lowered their voices. Many people heard their conversation and confirmed Jin Feng's identity.
"Oh, Mr. Jin is really here!"
"Not only Mr. Jin, it seems that the Ninth Princess is here too!"
"Princess? Which one?"
"It looks like it's the one wearing the mink cloak."
"Mr. Jin, the compassionate man, I kowtow to you! Thank you very much for lending me food!"
After the identities of Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess were confirmed, many people immediately knelt in the mud and kowtowed to Jin Feng.
Those people who came to inquire about the situation did not need to go there. Once they saw this, they knew that Jin Feng was indeed here.
For a moment, kowtow seemed to be contagious, centering on the location of Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, and quickly spreading to all directions...
