Chapter 855 Chapter 855: A courageous warrior, good quality and low price [Please vote]
It was said to be a discussion, but in fact Shen Tang was listening and guiding them to let go of their nervousness. She didn't know how the people below spread the news. These people almost shrank when they saw her. Shen Tang once wondered whether her reputation in the outside world was bad. Since her debut, her reputation has always been positive, and she has to hide it even if she does some bad things.
I figured it out later.
No matter how good her reputation is, no matter how low her background is, or how patchwork her team is, she is still the leader of a force with a large number of troops. She fights every battle that should be fought and kills everyone who should be killed. Killing every one of them, it is normal for ordinary people to be afraid when they see them.
But——
That was just the atmosphere in the beginning.
Shen Tang's kindness and gentleness melted their tension invisibly. She humbly asks for advice and treats people as guests, unknowingly allowing them to focus on their respective areas of expertise. The old farmer was illiterate, had a heavy accent, and spoke incoherently. The mismatch between her inner thoughts and her language skills made her blush with anxiety, and Shen Tang was able to listen and analyze patiently.
The experience of an old farmer is accumulated over a lifetime.
She has to rely on the fields on the river bank to support her family. The river has a gentle temper, so she can have an easy life. Once it has a temper, she and her children will go hungry. For the old farmer, she needs to observe the mood of the river and find out the temper of the river so that she and her children can survive. This is what you have to do to make a living! Over time, I finally achieved "a small amount of success".
These are the most proud wisdom of the old farmer in his life.
The local government office didn't know what she was doing, but the big shot in front of her understood her, and she immediately expressed her intention to entrust her life's wealth to her.
“It’s so precious, do you really want to give it to me?”
Shen Tang was flattered and looked surprised.
The old farmer opened his eyes full of traces of time: "...I have never seen anything noble, so I am afraid that I will dislike it..."
Shen Tang will naturally not dislike it.
She asked the old farmer's name again, and then asked someone to sort out the old farmer's letters. If the old farmer's many years of experience are really useful, these contents may be passed down to future generations, and the author will write them down.
The old farmer didn’t know Shen Tang’s plan, so he just thought about it for a long time.
As I get older, my memory is not good.
Secondly, after she got married, the neighbors called her the wife of the Wang family. After her husband died, she was called Da Lang/Er Lang/San Lang of the Wang family. As her parents died, the elders gradually aged, and her age and seniority also increased...
No one called her her family name or her maiden name anymore.
Shen Tang did not urge him. Finally, after a strange silence, the old farmer said uncertainly: "Li, Li Lianghua." , the common people do not have serious names, and having their own names means that their parents value them.
It should be noted that most common people either have no names, have names that follow the order, or simply use nicknames. The name Lao Nong is quite good. Shen Tang carefully confirmed which words they were.
Finally it was figured out with the help of local officials.
The old farmer didn’t know the characters in her name, but her household registration was written down, and the local officials carefully checked her identity when they caught her to add money, so they had an impression of it. Only a few white clothed civilians peeked at the old farmer's face from time to time, with mixed emotions.
Others don't understand, how can they understand Shen Tang's meaning?
Although they look very reserved on the surface, in fact they are all gearing up and waiting. Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to show off my abilities. Maybe I would be able to perform well and be favored by Shen Tang.
Those who are more ambitious have long been imagining the image of themselves being treated with courtesy and importance. The Ming Lord’s sharp eyes found that he was a dusty pearl. He could not conquer anything, visit the thatched cottage three times, and arranged everything. In the end, he half-heartedly accepted it. Agree and become a confidant.
Occupy a place and reach the pinnacle of life!
Those who are less ambitious would like to find an official position.
It's just that they haven't broken out of the siege yet. This old farmer with gray hair and a face of flabby chicken skin can actually write a book!
Some of them were relatively well-informed, and even knew the shabby scholar who helped the old farmer write. Naturally, they knew the joke about the old farmer sending self-written letters to the government office. I thought it had little to do with me, but I never thought that a peasant woman would steal the spotlight.
What kind of book can a peasant woman write?
Still thinking about passing it on to future generations?
Some people didn't take it seriously, some had sore throats, and some of them secretly muttered in their hearts that Shen Tang was nothing more than that. Not only was he disrespectful to a virtuous corporal, but he even humbled himself to please a peasant woman...
You can't go far if you are so stupid.
I was complaining impassionedly in my heart when I suddenly felt a chill on my back and a cold wind blowing in. Subconsciously looking in a certain direction, he happened to meet a pair of ancient and unwavering eyes. This person has a good manner and seems to be Shen Tang's clerk?
Those eyes that seem to see everything clearly make people look away with guilt.
At the same time.
Shen Tang and others are discussing opening a new river channel and designing the flow direction to benefit more people in the county. At the same time, this water conservancy project must also have the function of preventing floods and waterlogging. To this end, Shen Tang also reminded everyone to use their imagination. Whether it is digging a river or building mountains on both sides of the river, she can find someone to achieve the goal by using the mountain trend.
The brave warrior is the almighty god!
Cleaving mountains and reclaiming seas to build roads, as long as Dan Mansion has the martial spirit, it can be done! The key is that the efficiency is not low, and the cost only needs to ensure that they have enough food and drink. Shen Tang always feels that these brave warriors are inferior to their talents in this world. How can they still worry about employment in modern times?
Although they complained in their hearts that Shen Tang didn’t know the goods, those white clothed men didn’t want to be looked down upon. They had to let Shen Tang see who was the pearl and who was the eye of the fish! Just when he opened his mouth to speak, there was an inexplicable obstruction in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
A few people were extremely frightened, their faces turned pale, and they were covered in cold sweat. After a while, the innermost undershirt was wet with sweat, and the material stuck to the skin. At this situation, several people's scalps were numb, and they did not dare to say anything, trying to reduce their sense of presence...
There were also literary scholars among them, otherwise they would not be so arrogant. It's just that their talents are not very good, and they are either weak in literary skills or at the entry-level, half-baked level. Naturally, they also know that some literati have many tricks. They can not only listen to people's voices and steal their voices, but they can also kill people invisible...
Naturally, he was warned when he suddenly became mute.
When I think about what thoughts I have, I almost faint, and I keep praying in my heart that time will pass quickly.
Others are actively putting forward opinions and fighting for interests.
There are white clothed civilians who want to find an official position, and there are local officials who want to win the project to their hometown. Firstly, it can benefit the people within the territory, and secondly, they can get funding from the above, and they can also benefit from it. There are also benefits People have simply had enough of natural disasters...
Although Shen Tang did not hear the voices of everyone, but from the flash of literary style at Qin Li's fingertips, he knew that the inner drama of everyone was probably very exciting, and he might not know it. Still scolding myself. It's a pity that Wang Chao is not there, otherwise he could also listen to the excitement.
Before I knew it, it was time to eat.
Shen Tang asked someone to lead them to eat first.
Qin Li and her were the only ones left in the tent.
Qin Li said: "Those people have evil intentions, are high-minded but low-handed, and they are disrespectful to the Lord in their hearts. Therefore, I will impose a small punishment."
"Then don't use these people."< br>
Although Shen Tang now also needs mid- to low-level manpower, she does not reject anyone who comes, and there is a certain threshold for expanding recruitment.
“No need to deal with it?”
“Didn’t you already impose a small punishment?” Qin Li didn’t seem to be satisfied with the result, and there was a bit of helplessness in his eyes: “But they are very disrespectful to the lord. . ”
It’s so disrespectful that it’s not an exaggeration to kill him.
Of course, Qin Li didn't intend to kill them.
Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.
If they are not deterred, these people will not be grateful given their character. They will only think that the Lord is kind and can be bullied, and they will not know how to arrange it after they return. Although they are just trivial people, disgusting people are also really disgusting.
Shen Tang said: "They didn't curse with their mouths. If they cursed a few words in their hearts, they would be beaten physically. Outsiders would only say that I am too harsh and violent. Their bodies are not free, but their hearts are at least She should be free. Let them be..."
It is better to be called a good person than to be called cruel.
In Qin Li's view, this is to establish a normal majestic image, but in Shen Tang's view, everything is too much and too little: "The common people at the bottom are so burdened by heavy work that they have no time to think about other things. They are themselves a tight string. If they are further exerted, Other pressures will inevitably increase the burden on people's hearts, and this string may be broken with a buzz. Do you think so, Gong Su? "
Qin Li admitted happily.
As long as the Lord is right, he has nothing to say.
Shen Tang also knew why Qin Li felt uncomfortable.
For a scholar with integrity, the Lord humiliates his ministers to death. Those white clothed men insulted Shen Tang. Qin Li just [silenced his words and seized his voice] instead of drawing his sword to kill, which was very restrained. However, these people were just scolding in their hearts and were unprepared. They did not know in advance that Qin Li used mind-peeping words and spirits to monitor everyone. If you really want to know, you won’t dare to say even a single word.
Shen Tang can be generous and not care, but Qin Li can't.
"If these people don't have real skills, they won't be needed." In order to make Qin Li feel more comfortable, Shen Tang expressed his position again.
As long as they are on her territory, these people can't stand out.
There are many of them of similar level.
Shen Tang didn't know that it was okay for them to scold him. Now that he knew it, it was impossible for him to really have no grudges. Qin Li nodded when he heard this, put the matter aside, and talked about the proposal just now: "Master, do you really want to listen to their wishes and build mountains along the coast?"
Excavation of river channels is already a big undertaking.
They actually want to build more than one mountain!
My lord just casually gave an example, and those people thought this method was good. The hardness of the mountain could appropriately alleviate the impact of the water flow, allowing the water of the Miao River to enter the territory in a more gentle state, and the precipitated sediment would also be restored. Fertile soil can be obtained.
Don’t think about how to build mountains at all.
What a huge corvee project this is!
Shen Tang blinked: "Is it very big? I don't plan to do corvee labor. What can ordinary people do with their little physical strength? They eat a lot every day. How can I have the financial resources to support it? The territory is big, but with the There are more places for money..."
The private treasury owes huge loans. The public treasury has money, but it cannot afford to spend it randomly. It not only needs to use it to build various places, but also to give to a group of people below. Paying wages. People who generate electricity for love are great, but Shen Tang cannot let them starve to death, and he has to support his family.
"...Lord, are you counting on Dayi and the others?"
Shen Tang said confidently: "There may be no wars in the next few years. Training every day consumes physical strength and eats so much food. Digging rivers and building mountains is not enough. To eat so much food, naturally the latter It is more beneficial to the country and the world! Gong Su, think about it, once the crops in Yanzhou are ripe, the people all over the country are no longer hungry. How many people can survive because of this?"
With this efficiency, modern equipment will make you cry.
"According to the scale of the project just now, Zhao Feng could complete the project in two months at most with thousands of experienced people. If you ask ordinary people to do the work, tens of thousands of people may have to work for several years or even ten years. During this period, they will be hungry. Countless workers will die from illness and disease. The more corvee work there is, the more the people’s fields will be laid waste..."
It’s a vicious cycle!
How much food will these tens of thousands of people eat from her!
In comparison, the cost of being a brave warrior is negligible, and Shen Tang doesn't feel bad if he feeds them big fish and meat every day. For a brave warrior who is full of energy and energy, this is just a normal training. The key is that the treatment is top-notch!
Qin Li: "..."
That's not what he meant.
Qin Li wanted to explain, but when he saw the passion and fire bursting out of his lord's eyes, he swallowed his saliva and swallowed back what he wanted to say - forget it, lord and Dayi, one of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. If he objects, it will not please both parties, so it is better to remain silent.
However, he had a problem to figure out.
"Lord, what do you mean to the whole world?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes, is there a problem?"
All the forces in the northwest continent have been defeated in the melee in the past few years. As the final winner, Xiaona, Shen Tang took over the political legacy of her allies, and she still had the national seal in her hand. The territory she governs can already be called "country", so why not?
Qin Li: "..."
That's very wrong, he doesn't know the name of the country yet.
Shen Tang: "...I didn't say that?"
Qin Li said seriously: "I didn't mention it."
Shen Tang: "..."
She scratched her head, what is the country's name?
He summoned a blue bird with his fingers and asked Chu Yao.
Has she taken a country number?
The few people in white clothes were anxious when they returned home. They tossed and turned for several days, and they soon became haggard. But until the incident was over, they were sent out of the military camp without any physical harm. The expected interception and killing in the field did not happen.
"This, this is the end?"
"It should be..."
A few people were not sure.
Soon after, they heard that several people had been recruited, either to serve in local government offices or to hold titles, and received a fairly generous reward. The family didn't know about it, and they eagerly waited for the good news to come to them, waiting and waiting for it to come. Some people who had an impatient temper even muttered a few words and were scolded.
The family was scolded and confused, not knowing why.
This matter is just a small ripple. Although it affects the life trajectories of many people, for Shen Tang, it is a small project in the ocean of government affairs. After formulating the charter, making a budget, and everything is ready, all that is left is that the brave and courageous warriors have gathered together...
Of course someone will complete other trivial matters for her.
This project will be vigorously promoted to the entire Yanzhou in the future, and the counties selected as test sites will pay special attention to it.
The next day, Wu Xian came to invite him.

Let me think about what Wu Xian is doing
