Zhufu Yan finally got busy. Su Ren was not a good boss. He was only responsible for talking, not doing anything. He gave Zhufu Yan a few words of explanation, and Zhufu Yan needed to do the rest.
It took half a month for Lord Fu Yan to recruit some civilians and set up camp in Shaping with them to start the construction of the new city. From manpower recruitment, to food and grass arrangements, and even material selection, both inside and outside the construction site.
Everything that needs to be done requires the master's father to do it himself. The master's father is so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink water from morning to night.
When Su Ren received the money, Master Fuyan was discussing with several craftsmen the materials for building the city wall. Although Shaping has a good terrain, the most lacking thing is stone. Stone is the best for building city walls, followed by loess. No one has ever used gravel to build a city.
But here in Shaping, there is neither stone nor soil, and everything is gravel. In order to raise materials for building the city, Zhu Fuyan has racked his brains.
By the time the master's father Yan discovered Su Ren, Su Ren had already been in for a long time. The master's father hurriedly sent away several craftsmen and saluted Su Ren: "Chang Shi has arrived, but my subordinates are not far away to welcome you. I still hope that Mr. Chang Shi will welcome you."
Forgive me."
Su Ren looked his master up and down and said, "Yes, it has only been half a month. I have lost weight and become darker, but I am in good spirits. It seems that I still have to work. I will become useless if I stay at home all day long."
"What Chang Shi said is that I have been taught by you."
"Stop flattering me. How is it here lately?"
Master Fuyan quickly replied: "Everything is fine. With Mr. Huang's five hundred guards, there is no big problem."
"If there are no big problems, it means there are small problems. Tell me, what are these small problems?"
The master's father Yan said respectfully: "Actually, it's nothing. Since the beginning, Huang Gongzi's people have always found Yue people around the construction site. They are all young and strong. These people have not done anything to the construction site. Therefore, it is not difficult for my subordinates to make the decision.
They all let it go."
Li Danghu was furious: "How can we let them all go? These people must be Yue spies and should be caught and interrogated strictly."
The master wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly: "What Doctor Li said is that the villain was negligent. He will send someone to tell Mr. Huang that if those people are caught again, they will be severely interrogated."
Seeing that his father Yan was frightened by Li Danghu, Su Ren said with a smile: "Let it go if you let it go. Since we dare to build the city blatantly, we are not afraid of them seeing it. Besides, what can we do even if we catch these people?"
If you can't get anything out of the trial, why waste manpower? From today on, your father-in-law Yan will be solely responsible for building the city, and Huang Yue will be responsible for the guard's duties. The peace bought by ten thousand stones of food and grass cannot be wasted."
"No! I've written it down!"
After seeing the new city design that Zhufu Yan asked someone to design, Su Ren and others walked around the construction site under the leadership of Zhufu Yan. Because they were responsible for food, food, housing and wages, the peasants were very hard-working. Seeing Zhufu Yan
He came over from a distance, and all the working men saluted him. These people only knew the master Fu Yan who spent all day at the construction site, and were not familiar with Su Ren, the big boss behind the scenes. The master Fu Yan kept turning his head to look at Su Ren's face.
.
Compared with Sima Xiangru, Zhufu Yan's actions this time are bigger, and it all depends on his personal performance. In terms of Ci Fu, Zhufu Yan is not as good as Sima Xiangru, and in terms of management, Sima Xiangru is not as good as Zhufu Yan. This is Su Ren's first
When I came to the construction site once, I found that the workers on the construction site were arranged in an orderly manner, and there were very few cheating and cheating. Regardless of Zhufu Yan's character, Su Ren actually admired Zhufu Yan more based on his ability.
Huang Yue, dressed in military uniform, came in a hurry on horseback. He rode the horse on the sand, raising a cloud of dust, which was particularly powerful. When he came to Su Ren, Huang Yue deliberately showed off his riding skills, and the speed of the horse did not slow down.
The horse suddenly raised its hooves and neighed. Before it could stop, Huang Yue jumped down. When Hawking saw this scene, he curled his lips in contempt.
"Brother Su, you didn't even say a word when you came. Everything is fine at the construction site. You can rest assured that I'm here."
Su Ren smiled and nodded: "I feel relieved, so I haven't been here for so many days. Today I just came to take a look. I can't let the prefect think that I have nothing to do all day, right?"
"Hahaha... Brother Su is really good at joking. You have a great talent. How can these little things trouble you? I heard from people from Chang'an that Brother Su built the Imperial Academy in Chang'an. Not only did your Majesty not spend a penny, but in the end
You make a lot of money, this is a good skill."
"You know all this? It seems like you've been asking a lot about me?"
"Who in the world doesn't know Shu County Su Ren? In the mouths of those Shu merchants, you are a legend!"
Su Ren smiled: "You have also learned how to flatter people. You didn't learn it from your master, father and master, right? This is not a good habit! How about it? Are you still used to staying here?"
"It's good. I captured a few Yue spies a few days ago and asked me to execute them on the spot. These guys don't know how to live or die, and they dare to come here to run wild. The number of people is only enough to fill the gap between their teeth. It would be better to come more.
.”
Su Ren laughed: "You only have five hundred people, so be more careful and don't dare anything happen."
"clear!"
I met with the two people in charge of the Xincheng construction site. Generally speaking, Su Ren was satisfied. He had dinner with the villagers, chatted with several villagers, and learned about some specific situations. In the afternoon, he met with the father-in-law again.
Yan made adjustments to the plan of the new city, and Su Ren took his people back to Kuaiji.
After running this day, not only was I not tired, but I was in high spirits. After dinner, I sat in the yard for a long time without falling asleep. Su Ren stretched out, stood up and asked Huang Shisan to prepare his horses. Since it was about building a new city
Already on track, another thing has to be put on the agenda.
The two of them came out of the back door, got on their horses, and walked slowly forward along the street. Kuaiji City was small, and there was no one on the streets at night. Not even a group of patrolling soldiers came across. Such a border county was actually called
It's a joke to say that there is a copper wall and an iron wall.
After turning a few corners, he found the door of a house with a lantern hanging at the door. Ah Xun waited respectfully in front of the door. When he saw Su Ren coming, he bowed his head. Su Ren nodded, and the two of them walked in without saying anything.
Run to the lobby. There is only one oil lamp in the lobby, and the dim light makes it difficult to see the surrounding things.
Su Ren sat down on the main seat, Huang Shisan stood behind him, and Ah Xun stood respectfully in front of him. Su Ren said: "What's the news?"
"Ying Guangji has arrived in South Vietnam and is trying to get in touch with Lu Jia; King Wuzhu of Minyue sent people to Dongyao and Luoyue in order to win over these two small countries. In addition to these, there is one thing that the villain is not sure about.
, we are stepping up our investigation.”
"What's the matter?"
"The King of South Vietnam, Zhao Xing, has not come to court for several months. The ministers are talking a lot. There is news that the King of South Vietnam has come to Han Dynasty. His subordinates are incompetent. So far, his whereabouts have not been found."
"This man's name is Zhao Yu. He is the commander of the South Vietnam Flying Tiger Army and the son-in-law of South Vietnam Prime Minister Lu Jia."
"Is it the Zhao family?"
"Yes! Speaking of which, he is still Zhao Xing's uncle, and he is the Marquis of Cangwu."
Su Ren did not ask any more questions and lowered his head in thought. After a long time, he finally breathed out: "This matter is getting more and more interesting! From now on, we will strengthen our manpower to investigate the Yue people. All the information from the four departments must be detailed, especially
You are the person who must be arranged within the army and around the generals. Remember the method I gave you to deliver the message? I want to know every move of the Yue people as soon as possible! If there is anything, send someone to see Lao Huang."
"promise!"
Su Ren nodded: "This time is just for military training. The key to whether we can defeat the Yue people is you. If we want to win the battle, intelligence is the first priority! By the way, where did the thorns go?"
Ah Xun said quickly: "I have been secretly monitoring Ying Guangji. It should have been discovered by Ying Guangji's people, but Ying Guangji did not make any announcement."
Su Ren smiled: "This guy hides his head and shows his tail. He specializes in doing things he is not good at. Let him go! Keep an eye on Ying Guangji. Don't take action against the people in Wumuya for the time being. Let's see how they plan to win over Yue people first.
.”
"My subordinate understands!"
Su Ren stretched out and glanced at Ah Xun: "The people you brought this time are all good people from Yuanshan. There are 108 people in total. They all gave themselves code names so that they can be contacted easily. Even if
It’s easy for me to handle it if it’s exposed.”
"No! I will do it now."
Su Ren rolled his eyes, and mischievous thoughts came to his mind: "Let's do this, I'll tell you, from today on you will be called Jiyu!"
Staying for a stick of incense in A Xun's stronghold is to hide your strength, so you can't stay too long. The longer you stay, the greater the chance of exposure. Although Kuaiji City is small, the competition between the various forces is not ambiguous at all.
.There are Yue people, Han people, and people from Wumuya and Suren. Each type of people has their own secret lines. While you are monitoring others, maybe some pair of eyes are also staring at you.
Just when Su Ren walked out of the door, Huang Shisan saw two bodies lying in the inconspicuous shadow in the yard. These were the guys who followed Su Ren, and they were killed by someone in time.
The night breeze was particularly cool on his body. Su Ren was in a good mood, and everything was going according to the track he had planned. The only thing missing was soldiers. It would be impossible to fight without soldiers. Although the imperial edict asked Su Ren to mobilize troops from Kuaiji County,
Looking at Huang Qi's posture, not even Su Ren, even Yan Zhu would be able to mobilize a single soldier.
Su Ren suddenly asked Huang Shisan: "What do you think of Captain Huang?"
Huang Shisan was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"You can't see clearly in the dark when you talk."
"Huang Qi is colluding with the Yue people."
"Nonsense! Let me ask you, do you think Huang Qi can be used by us?" Su Ren was a little helpless. There was no think tank around him, which made him feel uncomfortable: "Forget it, it's useless to ask you. I should really bring my second son with me this time.
Come on, he can still come up with some ideas at critical moments, but you guys can't do anything to help."
Lying on the couch, Su Ren thought about a question over and over again. Why did the emperor give him Li Danghu, Gongsun He and Wei Qing all at once? Is there any deep meaning in this? (To be continued)
