Soon, someone reported to Manager He that the green-faced tiger's body had not been found.
Moreover, the other party also carved words in blood, saying that Sanshui Town had offended Black Pine Ridge and they were here to take revenge:
"He, old thief, dares to touch our people from Heisongling. I will kill every one of your family members!"
No need to ask, Guanshi He must have offended the bandits in Heisongling, and they are here to take revenge!
He Guanshi himself didn't think so.
Because he had never offended the bandits in Black Pine Ridge at all.
The root cause must lie with his master, He Xunjian.
With the same surname as He, Manager He is just the housekeeper of He's inspection team.
Inspector He is the real talker in Sanshui Town.
It's just that Inspector He hasn't been feeling well recently, so his official duties have been handed over to Manager He.
Guanshi He has also heard about the bandits in Black Pine Ridge recently, and they seem to be making quite a fuss.
In several villages under the jurisdiction of Sanshui Town, many people have disappeared recently, including men and women.
Some disappeared while working in the fields, and some disappeared on the way to visit relatives...
No need to ask, it was probably the bandits from Black Pine Ridge who did it.
Of course, if someone is missing, He Guanshi will not meddle in those nosy matters. They are just some mud-legged people. Whether they live or die is none of his business.
However, now that his life and death were at stake, Manager He didn't dare to neglect things. He immediately went to He Mansion to inspect and report the situation to He.
Inspector He exploded when he heard this.
What a courageous thief. He just entered his own town of Sanshui to kill people and buy goods, but he dared to leave a message threatening himself arrogantly. I really don’t know who gave these bandits the courage?
If you don't eliminate the hidden danger as soon as possible, you might have your head picked off while you sleep one day!
"Go, inform the village chiefs of each village, and ask them to gather in Sanshui Town with a hundred village warriors in three days. I will conquer Black Pine Ridge!"
…
Just as Inspector He was preparing to deal with the Heisongling bandits, Lieutenant Wu and Cao Dutou in Qingyang County were also discussing the same thing.
After discussion, the two decided to start with the fat shopkeeper.
That's right, they regarded the fat shopkeeper as being with the bandits.
If the bandits were not in a group and all the bandits came to the house, why didn't the fat shopkeeper report it to the official?
Not only did he not report to the official, but he also covered up for the bandits in Black Pine Ridge and even gave them his concubine to play with?
"Go, call the fat shopkeeper from the Lion House, and tell him that you have something important to discuss with him."
The two of them decided to invite you to the urn. It would be easy to arrest the fat shopkeeper, a local bastard, first, and then deal with Xiao Qing and the others.
Unexpectedly, the fat shopkeeper didn't come, but it was Xiao Qing who came.
Xiao Derang had no choice. Not long ago, a policeman who had just been bribed suddenly reported to him that they might have been exposed and told them to run away.
Xiao Derang was unwilling to give up his current life. After thinking about it, he quickly made a decision to bribe Wu County Lieutenant and Cao Dutou!
Ever since they held an unmasked conference together, Xiao Derang knew that the two of them were not good guys. If a beauty and money come together, I don't believe you won't submit!
Sure enough, Wu County Lieutenant and Cao Dutou failed to withstand Xiao Derang's sugar-coated bombs. They not only accepted the money, the house he sent, but also the women he sent.
What, Xiao Derang is a bandit from Black Pine Ridge?
Who said that? Is there any evidence?
Besides, what happened to the bandits?
Are bandits not human beings?
Since they have left Black Pine Ridge and moved to the city on their own initiative, it means that they have changed their minds and are ready to start a new life.
A prodigal son can never change his ways, and acknowledging his mistakes can greatly improve things. You should always give people a chance to repent, right?
Faced with the house deed, land deed, and the deed of sale that Xiao De asked him to sign, the fat shopkeeper was already numb.
Anyway, I don’t have much money left, so take it all!
Fortunately, Xiao Derang was worried about Wu Xianwei and Cao Dutou, so he restrained himself a little, spared the fat shopkeeper for the time being, and did not take it out on his son again. After all, he had to cover up some things. If he really pushed him , which is of no benefit to anyone.
…
The next day, a group of craftsmen came to Wolong Village.
There were carpenters, masons, bricklayers, and two potters, which are craftsmen who can burn kilns.
These people are here to try their luck.
They heard that Wolong Village is recruiting craftsmen and the pay is good. Although they don't believe what the masons said is true, life is not easy in the winter. It would be nice to have a job. As long as the pay is not too bad, they can consider it.
Yun Chao already had experience. The craftsmen he met were all good-looking and skinny. Without saying anything, he asked Lin Youniang and Aunt Wang to cook a large pot of millet porridge.
"Come on, masters, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to wait until you're full!"
After a meal of fragrant millet porridge, most of the craftsmen believed what a few masons said. Leaving aside whether they eat meat every day or not, it is correct that the owner is a generous person.
After all, no one would ask to eat meat every day. It would be good to have enough to eat. As for eating three meals a day and seeing meat and fish every day, that is unthinkable!
However, when dinner was served in the evening, all the craftsmen were dumbfounded. Could it be that what the masons said were true?
Although we still had porridge for the evening meal, the snow-white big steamed buns and the fragrant shredded pork stir-fried bean sprouts simply overturned the three views of the craftsmen.
Could it be possible to eat so well while working for others?
Why have you never met such a proprietor before?
The green-faced tiger died well. If he hadn't died, how could he have found such a good job!
There is a shortage of all kinds of talents in Yunchao right now, whether they are masons or carpenters, whether they are bricklayers or potters, there are as many as they need. The land on the north bank of Wolong Valley is huge, and there is no shortage of money now, so we just have to work hard to develop it!
…
The next day, the development of the north bank of Wolong Valley officially began.
Due to insufficient manpower, Yun Chao specially invited Zhang Sihai, Jia Mancang, and Luo Zhiyuan's father to help.
Let the three of them form an infrastructure management trio, specifically responsible for the infrastructure project on the north bank of Wolong Valley.
In the first phase of the project, Yunchao was directly involved in three projects.
The first project is the wooden bridge over Wolong Valley.
Now that there are several more carpenters, the speed of bridge construction must be accelerated. This is the top priority.
Only when transportation is convenient can transportation vehicles such as oxen, horses, and donkey carts pass by, and work efficiency can be further improved.
The second project is to build a brick kiln.
The technique of burning bricks is not difficult. Youdao has Qin bricks and Han tiles, which shows that at least in the Qin Dynasty, the technology of brick burning was relatively mature.
The main reason why no one in Wolong Village has built a brick house is because they are poor.
Uh, wrong.
One family lived in a brick house.
That is Muramasa Yoshiuchi.
The old boy has been a landowner for generations, and building a brick house is too childish.
If you want to build a brick house, you need bricks and tiles. Buying from outside is obviously not suitable. Not to mention the price of bricks and tiles, even the freight is unbearable.
Yun Chao is not just building a house. The bricks and tiles required are not a small amount. If he buys them all from outside, it will not only cost money, but also make it easy to reveal his wealth!
The principle of not revealing wealth has been applicable since ancient times. There are bandits near Wolong Village. Once the bandits know that Wolong Village has money, it would be strange if they don't come to rob it!
In addition, Yunchao is also planning to build a water conservancy project.
Taking advantage of the dry season in winter, a dam was built on Wolong Gorge to block Wolong Gorge and make full use of the wealth bestowed by nature.
Building bridges, building kilns, and dams are the first phase of the project that Yunchao is planning to carry out.
These three projects are planned to be completed by Yunchao before the end of the year, and the manpower required is not ordinary.
Yun Chao was a little worried, where could he find so many people?
