"Oh?" Seeing his vow, Zhong Shengguang was also a little curious, "What are you going to do?"
"When I ordered the uniforms and waist badges for these water bandits, I got the list." He Lingchuan said sternly, "The water bandit leaders still want to hide it, but I told them that the dividends and supplies are based on head.
The roster is distributed. Anyone who is not registered will not get any money."
"If they don't report their full names, they will get less money and distribute it to their subordinates. At that time, their subordinates will suspect that they have embezzled money." He Lingchuan added, "They are not stupid. They falsely reported the names of idle people.
I pretended to receive dividends, but I posted a red list and publicized it in several major villages and towns. Qianjinzhai and the Ball Flower Gang had an ugly quarrel. I heard that they argued several times. Although they were unwilling to do so, they finally decided to
The list has been submitted."
Zhong Shengguang said happily: "Did you get the name? Okay, great!"
One of the main reasons why it is difficult to deal with the Longchuan water bandits is that Yuheng City cannot distinguish between the ruthless bandits and the good citizens in the water park.
The villagers in the water pool will also hide for the gangsters.
In the past, Xiao Maoliang led troops into Longchuan to suppress bandits, but because too many civilians were accidentally injured, the local tribes in Longchuan fiercely resisted and joined forces with the water bandits to fight against the enemy.
Now He Lingchuan had obtained the list of water bandits without any hesitation. Except for the Xiqian puppet army, most of the water bandits were registered, so it would not be difficult to identify them.
If they want to rebel in the future, the Yuheng City Army can target them and follow the plan.
"In the past, it was difficult to get rid of bandits in Longchuan because water bandits were like weeds that could not be burned away by wildfire and would grow again in the next spring." He Lingchuan said, "I don't weed, I want to tame them into crops!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Power and profit." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Water bandits can be transformed into guards of trade routes, but guards cannot become water bandits. Robbery with a knife is definitely not as comfortable as sitting around collecting money. Once they put on the uniform, hang up
It doesn't take two months to find out that the one who pays them is not the original bandit leaders, but Yuheng City! Their real boss is no longer the bandit leaders, but Yuheng City
military."
"At that time, they will know who to listen to, the old leader or me? If they want to listen to the old leader, they will either die under Yuheng's sword or return to Longchuan to resume their old career with no future; listen to me
, you can still sit comfortably and make money.”
He Lingchuan stretched out his intact left hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "At that time, I can start to organize these water bandits, and then break the original pattern in Longchuan, and organize the villagers from house to house."
Zhong Shengguang raised his eyebrows and understood.
This kid is very sinister.
"This plan will consume the least amount of money on Yuheng City and the army and take the shortest time. We can devote more energy to training troops and guarding the border."
He Lingchuan explained some more details, and Zhong Shengguang listened with unusual concentration.
Finally, he said: "If it can be executed smoothly, it will be a wonderful move, but it will require the cooperation of Lao Wen. Your idea is cutting-edge, and he is good at running the city, but he is not as flexible as you. As the city administrator of Yuheng, you two,
As the leader of the army, you need to communicate more in peacetime."
Listening to his words, He Lingchuan understood that he had finally succeeded in reporting his duties, and next he had to strike further while the iron was hot:
"Master Zhong, there is something you don't know whether to ask or not?"
Zhong Shengguang said angrily: "Then you shouldn't ask."
I've never noticed that this kid is very sharp-tongued before. Was he trained in Yuheng City or was he well hidden in the past?
He Lingchuan smiled: "Why did you transfer me to Yuheng City?"
Zhong Shengguang was silent. He couldn't tell him that after Panlong City captured Xiqiao, it only promoted new generals to come here to practice. He didn't expect that the water bandits colluded with foreign enemies and dug a big hole; he didn't expect that this newly appointed Yuheng City
The commander actually did an impressive job, eliminating banditry that even Xiao Maoliang could not deal with.
He could only say: "As you said, Longchuan Trade Road is too important to Panlong City."
"But it's not easy to guard the Longchuan trade route, even after the banditry is eliminated." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Bejia has already set his sights on us. If our plan fails, there must be a back-up plan. Yuheng City is not as powerful as Panlong City.
, we must practice martial arts and strengthen our troops within a limited time, otherwise the Takichuan trade route will be in danger."
Zhong Shengguang frowned: "You are the commander of a city, and you tell me that you can't defend the Longchuan Trade Road?"
"You can hold it!" He Lingchuan said immediately, "As long as the conditions are met!"
"Oh? Tell me."
"Yuheng City has returned to a state of combat readiness, with military and military priority in everything!"
Zhong Shengguang was startled and looked at him for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Good boy, after going around in such a big circle, you turned out to be asking for power from me!"
Priority is given to military affairs, followed by internal affairs. Is Mr. He trying to climb over Lao Wen and become the leader?
"Panlong Wasteland and Xiqiao will not always be peaceful." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Time is precious, don't you want to have another ace team at your disposal?"
Zhong Shengguang stared at him closely, trying to find the real thoughts in his eyes.
He Lingchuan responded frankly.
Zhong Shengguang picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of herbal tea: "Let's go, Mr. Lu should be back."
…
When Wen Daolun accompanied Lu Xun back to the office, he happened to see Zhong Shengguang and He Lingchuan coming out. Both of them looked very relaxed.
Zhong Shengguang smiled and said: "Mr. Lu, how about dining at Juxian Manor?"
Lu Xun had no objection.
On the way to the restaurant, He Lingchuan and Lu Xun were chatting and laughing, while Wen Daolun looked at Zhong Shengguang with questioning eyes.
Zhong Shengguang shook his head slightly at him.
Wen Daolun was a little surprised. Commander He actually convinced Commander Zhong?
Can Commander Zhong really agree to continue giving money to the water bandits?
Zhong Shengguang smiled at him, with deep thought in his eyes:
It would be great if things develop as smoothly as He Lingchuan planned.
Lu Xun suddenly turned around and asked Zhong Shengguang: "Master Zhong, when did the dragon head pattern on the wall appear?"
The three of them followed his fingers and saw a dragon's head pattern on the wall. This wall was made of blue bricks, so the dragon's head pattern was also made of blue bricks, slightly convex, and extremely vivid.
Still a relief.
Hearing this, Zhong Shengguang looked at Wen and He. He arrived at Yuheng City one step ahead of Lu Xun and had no idea when this pattern would appear.
However, He Lingchuan and Wen Daolun each reported too much content, and this was not even included in their reports.
"Three days ago." Wen Daolun replied, "That morning, we discovered that the dragon head pattern appeared on four walls in the city."
At that time, it also attracted curious onlookers from the residents of the city.
After all, there are few people here, and most residents have never seen this pattern.
At this time, a boy was painting graffiti on the wall with ocher. He first drew two turtles, and then painted the pair of majestic eyes on the dragon's head in ocher color.
Everyone was watching from the sidelines and didn't stop him.
The boy noticed something strange behind him. He turned around and saw several adults staring at him intently. He was so frightened that he ran away.
Lu Xun then stepped forward, stretched out his hand to caress the dragon's head and said, "It turns out that Yuheng City has been praised by Heaven. That's good, that's good!"
The way of heaven? He Lingchuan couldn't help but ask: "The way of heaven...appreciation?"
This is really a mystery that has troubled him for a long time, but he always can't think of it when facing General Red or Zhong Shengguang.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun said the truth today.
"Don't you hear that 'the law of heaven is clear'? This is the sign that Yuheng City is acting on behalf of heaven and following the law of heaven." Lu Xun nodded repeatedly, "With the law of heaven as evidence, it shows that Brother Zhong and Panlongcheng are extremely determined to resist the devil.
.When I go back and resume my life, I will also specifically mention this to the Presbyterian Council!"
Suddenly, the matter suddenly turned around? Zhong Shengguang smiled broadly: "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Lu."
Wen Daolun also said: "The dragon head pattern is actually so important? Panlong City has appeared long ago."
"This is an important consideration."
He Lingchuan asked: "Are there other places where dragon head patterns also appear?"
He thought of Yuan Kingdom.
In the vision before the fall of Yuan Kingdom, he also saw the dragon head pattern.
"Of course, this is the affirmation and commendation of Heaven." Lu Xun said with a smile, "In fact, the Presbyterian Church has studied that this symbol usually appears in the most intense place to fight for Heaven and fight against the devil."
He Lingchuan then asked: "Since it is an award, what is the substantive reward?"
He asked very pragmatically, but the atmosphere in Panlong City has always been pragmatic, so Zhong Shengguang and Wen Daolun had no objection.
Lu Xun nodded: "Yes. Whenever the dragon head pattern appears, the climate here will gradually become milder, the products will be abundant, and there will be fewer disasters. All of these can be obtained silently from heaven moisturizing things without using any energy."
He Lingchuan thought about it. Indeed, the Chipa Plateau where Panlong City is located has ridiculously good water and soil conditions. It seems like two different worlds from the Panlong Wasteland. Food and crops on the plateau are harvested every year. Otherwise, how could it feed so many people?
He originally thought it was due to Zhong Shengguang's deployment of Yuan Power, but he did not expect that this was a reward from heaven and did not require the people's own efforts.
Now under the jurisdiction of Panlong City, the second city favored by Heaven has appeared.
This also shows from the side that Wen Daolun and He Lingchuan's governance of Yuheng City was quite successful.
Zhong Shengguang smiled and said: "Juxian Village has arrived. I will be the host today!"
This was a gratifying event, and he spent his own money to celebrate.
…
When He Lingchuan returned to his residence, the moon was rising.
He was injured, so Zhong Shengguang didn't let him drink. After the food was over, he sent him home to rest.
The personal guards escorted him to the gate of the courtyard and then returned.
He Lingchuan was about to push the door open when he saw Sun Fuling walking down the mountain path. She was dressed in light yellow clothes, as tender as plumeria blossoms blooming in spring. Her thick hair was casually pulled back with a wooden hairpin, looking elegant.
But still agile.
Looking at the beauty under the moon, her face was still a little pale. He Lingchuan also noticed that she had lost a little weight.
She saw He Lingchuan's right hand hanging on his chest and frowned slightly: "Why are you still injured after taking a trip to Baisha Bay?"
"On the way to escort the distinguished guest, we were ambushed by Fushan Lie."
A simple sentence made Sun Fuling's expression change.
But she didn't ask any more questions. Since He Lingchuan could come back here and stand in front of her, it meant that he had returned safely.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Juxianzhuang, Commander Zhong is treating guests, and I will accompany you."
Sun Fuling immediately came up to him, narrowed her eyes and sniffed a few times before saying with satisfaction:
