After three days, Chen Dinglan finally felt relieved.
Everything was as Chu Qing said, when the bodies of these boat masters and soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, they did not have any extra energy to think about useless things.
Train, get scolded, train, eat fish, train, be insulted, train, train, train again, and finally get beaten.
Everyone was busy, riding horses and leading people in and out of the military camp. As Chu Qing's baton fell, Luo Yundao's officialdom experienced the darkest moment in the history of the Chang Dynasty, the darkest moment.
One by one, noble family members in Confucian robes were tied to cross stakes, crying and begging for mercy on the beach.
Officials wearing official robes knelt there and were exposed to the sun for three days. They were then boarded a ship and taken to Guocheng for detention.
Every day, the soldiers and the veterans from Lake City ran and trained on the beach, running around the cross piles and training with fear.
Most things have made progress and are proceeding in an orderly manner, except for two things, one has not been carried out and the other has not made any progress.
The first thing is that Wang Tianyu's original job was to suppress bandits in Luoyundao, but because he wanted to plead for Qiu Baoyu, he knelt outside the commander's tent every day for three days, but Chu Qing didn't even bother to take a look.
The second thing is about hiring civilian laborers. So far, not a single civilian has come.
Tao Shaozhang is in charge of this matter. What Chu Qing said is, give money, give a lot of money, take care of food and housing, and Tao Shaozhang will find strong men.
But after my uncle took his people there, the people in every village, every town, and every state capital saw the young man being captured, and they would rather die than come. No matter what Tao Shaozhang said, they wouldn't come.
Brother-in-law can chop people, but he will never kill people. Chu Qing said he would put the knife on the necks of the people and force them to come, but brother-in-law couldn't do it.
Three days later, my uncle came back in despair. He walked less than a hundred miles and didn't bring back any common people. He felt very guilty.
Chu Qing did not blame his uncle. This matter was indeed not suitable for his uncle to do. In fact, no one was suitable to do it. Killing one to scare others can do it. But if you force the people, none of your friends can do it. If they can do it,
, and will not hang out with Chu Qing.
Letting people go to work is the most important part, it is related to everything. If you can't do this, everything you say is in vain.
Chu Qing did not ask anyone to come to a meeting to discuss the number of words, but thought about whether he should lead people to capture the young men himself.
It was night, just when Chu Qing was preparing to be a villain himself the next day, Lu Zhu and Liao Wenzhi were in place. They just got off the boat and went straight into the commander's tent.
There are already nearly 7,000 civilians in Guocheng, and the people are still rushing over. Lvzhu has almost settled down, and Liao Wenzhi was originally notified to come.
The two entered the handsome tent, and Chu Qing, who was slightly tired, smiled.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Luzhu was still so considerate. It was almost the end of the year and the weather was getting colder. She sewed three bearskin jackets in her spare time, took out two and handed them to Chu.
Qing and Fusan.
"If Third Brother doesn't want to marry you in the future..." After Chu Qing put on the bearskin coat, he said with a playful smile: "I will choose a show for you. I will gather the best men in the world together and let you and Jiuniang choose.
.”
Lu Zhu's pretty face turned red, she covered her mouth and smiled.
Chu Qing glanced sideways at Fu San and found that the third brother was fiddling with the abacus again, as if he hadn't heard anything.
After Liao Wenzhi sat down, he tightened his cloak and asked, "What are you doing here looking for me?"
"There are too many things to do and not enough manpower, but the most important thing is to let Shilin sing praises to the army. All scholars in Luo Yundao must sing praises to the army. For the navy troops of the three East China Sea routes, one person is responsible for it.
A soldier's family is honored, but a soldier deserting the camp brings shame to his family."
"Okay." Liao Wenzhi was a cheerful person and said without any hesitation: "Equip me with fifty detective horses and three hundred elite soldiers, and then call the assassin from Guo Cheng, Xiang Lin."
Chu Qing was confused: "Why do you want to explore the horse?"
"Collect the unknown sides of those great Confucian scholars."
Chu Qing gave a thumbs up: "What are you doing with three hundred elites?"
"Teach them to read."
"ah?"
"Nonsense, of course I'll beat them if they don't obey."
Chu Qing: "..."
With a chuckle, Chu Qing found that Liao Wenzhi was quite humorous.
Fu San couldn't laugh or cry: "What does Mr. Liao want Xiang Lin to do?"
"If they don't agree after the beating, let Xiang Lin assassinate them and put the blame on other celebrities and scholars who don't agree."
The third brother cupped his hands, expressed his admiration, and then continued to fiddle with the abacus.
Chu Qing asked with an incomprehensible expression: "Brother Liao, please ask, are you a serious scholar?"
"When you need it, I am." Liao Wenzhi took a sip of tea: "When you don't need it, I am not."
Chu Qing suddenly felt guilty.
The group of friends around him seemed to have no salary, including Liao Wenzhi. He felt that this matter should be studied and studied. We couldn't just let everyone work for nothing. It didn't matter how much money they had. The main reason was that he was afraid that Liao Wenzhi would suddenly think of this one day.
If you kill yourself in a hurry, this old guy is not a scholar. Isn't he a gangster?
"Oh, by the way, there is also the matter of the academy. Brother Liao, you will be in charge of the poor academy. Let's spread the construction and hire a gentleman. It does not require a high level of education, as long as he can teach the sons of the common people to read and write."
"Okay!" Liao Wenzhi stroked his beard and smiled: "I will do my part in this matter."
"You can do whatever you want. As long as the academy is built, it's your business whether you treat it as a human being or not. It's up to you. That's fine. There's nothing else. Brother Liao, please rest first. When you've had enough rest, ask Brother Dajun to give it to you.
Deploy manpower. Now that Dajun brother is Luo Yundao, the commander of the Zhoushifu, he will be in charge of all the troops. If you want to explore the horse, go to Ertong. As for Xiang Lin, just ask Ertong to send someone to Guocheng to bring that boy."
"Okay, I'll set off at midnight tomorrow. When Xiang Lin arrives, let him go find me."
After finishing speaking, Liao Wenzhi stood up and was about to leave when he saw the bamboo slips and papers in front of Chu Qing's desk. He joked: "It's strange that you, a lazy boy, have also dealt with official documents."
"Look at what you said, now it's up to me to take charge of the overall situation. That's it, the people's affairs can't be solved yet."
"A civilian husband?"
"Yes, I wanted to hire people to work and build coastal defense towers and shipyards. But in the end, no one was brought. The people would rather die than come to work."
"Oh." Liao Wenzhi said calmly: "Then after I leave tomorrow, I can handle this matter easily. How many people are needed?"
Chu Qing was confused: "What should you do?"
"You can say how many people are needed."
"The more the merrier, the better. It would be best to bring all the people here."
"Okay, then bring all the people."
After finishing speaking, Liao Wenzhi didn't wait for Chu Qing to ask any more questions, and left with his hands behind his back, leaving Chu Qing and Fu San looking at each other.
Chu Qing frowned and said, "What can Lao Liao do?"
"I don't know, but thinking about it... there should be a way. Mr. Liao is not a random person."
"Okay, let's treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor."
Lu Zhu glanced at Chu Qing and asked, "Sir, when I first came here, I saw Wang Tianyu and others kneeling outside the account. What happened?"
