Under the orders of several captains, the soldiers of Yunhai County gathered on the school field.
And quickly built a one-meter-high point platform.
Ye Qing had a panoramic view of everything from a high place.
A hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
These Yunhai County soldiers are well-behaved and well-trained.
It seems that Zhou Meng, the county captain who ran away, did not treat his soldiers harshly, and his ability to train troops was not bad.
Much better than he expected.
He ducked and came to the general stage.
A clear voice sounded from the high platform.
"There are some things I won't say more about."
"Unlike other county magistrates, I don't need you to guard the city wall for the time being."
"So, starting today, you all bring your tools and dig a canal outside the city with Yunhai Lake as the center."
"Sir, I'll wait..."
"I have made up my mind. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can wave your weapon at me."
Ye Qing ignored the protest and turned his back to the Yunhai County soldiers.
That’s it in the lower world.
In the fantasy world of Gaowu, wouldn't these ordinary soldiers be used as engineering soldiers and raised to waste food?
"If you don't dare, then follow the arrangement."
Dare you?
Of course I don't dare.
Hundreds of soldiers didn't even have the courage to point their weapons at Ye Qing.
The scene fell into silence.
No one objected, and no one stepped forward to take orders.
trouble!
Ye Qing knew that the twisted melon was hungry, but not sweet.
Not giving away any benefits.
This group of big-headed soldiers will most likely be perfunctory.
I don't dare to disobey his orders, but the progress will definitely not be faster.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qing decisively threw out a piece of "candy".
"You will take your own teams to dig canals separately. I will decide who will temporarily act as county captain based on your work conditions."
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
Several captains raised their heads suddenly, their eyes fiery.
"It's just a waste of time to dig some ditches with my martial arts skills. If I didn't want to see your abilities, why would I let you do it?"
In fact, Ye Qing just wanted to be lazy and didn't want to take action.
"Don't worry, sir, this is a great thing that will benefit the people of Yunhai County..."
"Don't talk nonsense. I only care about the results. Go find the craftsmen in the city and ask about the location of the aqueduct. Be careful not to dig the wrong one."
"I'll wait for the order!"
Several captains bowed and saluted.
He led the soldiers and hurried towards the city.
Afraid of being beaten to the front by others.
"With the canal, this year's food production will definitely increase, and fewer people will die in winter."
Lu Baotou complimented sincerely.
"It is really a blessing to the people of Yunhai County that your Excellency considers the people so much."
"What's wrong with you? I don't care about these false reputations."
"My lord is too modest."
"Okay, you go about your business, keep an eye on the security of the county and don't cause trouble."
"Please rest assured, sir, those common people dare not cause trouble easily."
Lu Baotou thought of Ye Qing's previous order and complimented him again:
"Sir, please ask the brothers to arrest all the thugs and beggars. The security in the county has improved a lot recently, and the brothers have nothing to do."
Is there such a good thing?
That's right, most beggars don't do good things.
Those rogue gangsters are idle all day long and like to steal and steal.
Without them, it would be normal for public security to be better.
Ye Qing quickly figured out the reason.
"Are they at peace in the quarry?"
"They have food, drink, and brothers watching over them. How can they be restless? It's just about working..."
Lu Baotou was quite helpless.
Whether they are gangsters or beggars, they are all people who often interact with the police officers.
The fear of them is far lower than that of ordinary people.
It was okay at first, but after realizing that they didn't dare to make a fatal move, they no longer had any worries.
Nowadays, being lazy and playing tricks has become a daily routine for those people.
"Sir, with your instructions, the brothers don't dare to kill anyone. In terms of work, the brothers really have no good way to deal with them."
This is not okay.
Ye Qing frowned slightly.
Stone is the foundation for reconstruction in Yunhai County.
How to build a house without enough stone? How to pave the way?
He can't do it all by himself.
How tiring!
Ruoshuang was dealing with official duties, so it was not appropriate to go back and disturb her now.
Food cannot be easily transported until dark.
It's better to take advantage of this free time and take the police officers to solve the problem in the stone quarry.
With a plan in mind, Ye Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Just because he doesn't kill ordinary people doesn't mean he doesn't kill beggars and thugs.
Ye Qing's eyes swept over Lu Baotou.
Since coming to Yunhai County, he has not killed anyone yet.
It's time to catch some chickens and show off his killing skills.
Lest these people think that he can't kill, let alone dare to kill.
"Let's go, call all the government officials, catch me, and accompany me to the stone quarry."
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
Lu Baotou bowed and saluted.
Then, he called a few of his subordinates and asked them to convey the order.
Not long after.
The group of people walked towards the direction of the stone field outside the city.
On the way, Lu Baotou introduced the situation of the stone field to Ye Qing.
"Sir, because thugs look down on and often bully beggars, the stone field is currently divided into two areas."
"Thugs occupy more than half of the area, and beggars occupy the rest."
"They work in tandem and are beaten and scolded. If they don't work, they won't be able to eat. I'm afraid they won't even bother to do any work at all."
…
There was a clanging sound.
Those beggars and thugs were slowly mining stones under the supervision of the police.
Just save effort, not efficiency.
The two groups of people divided the stone field into two parts, which were clearly separated and did not disturb each other.
A group of people are not active in working, but their eyesight is excellent.
From a long distance away, they saw Ye Qing and his group approaching.
"Sir, we were wronged!"
"I am disabled and weak, please have mercy on me and let me go!"
"Shut up!"
Seeing that the scene was too chaotic, Lu Baotou took the initiative to step forward.
"If you continue to make noise, you will be treated as an assault on the county magistrate and you will be killed without mercy."
"..."
The noisy sound suddenly stopped, and the scene instantly became quiet.
"Sir, I am a villager in the mountains. I think I have never done anything bad. At most, I am not doing my job properly. Why do you want to arrest us?"
A sturdy man glared at Ye Qing.
"Maybe you didn't do anything bad, but they didn't."
Ye Qing looked calm.
"Do you know how many children go missing in Yunhai County every year?"
“How many thefts occur every day?”
"How many of them are done by ordinary people, and how many are done by you."
"this……"
The burly man hesitated.
He can guarantee that his companions have never done the former and do not dare to do it, but the latter...
Sneaking, fighting, etc., let alone other people, he has done it many times himself.
"Words are unfounded, these things need evidence!"
A rosy-faced beggar shouted from hiding in the crowd.
"There is no evidence. Even if you are the county magistrate, you cannot ruin our reputation casually, let alone arrest people without reason."
"Who says you can't arrest people without reason."
Ye Qing instantly locked onto the person calling.
After seeing the appearance of the person shouting clearly, he suddenly felt happy.
There is a "chicken" to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
After all, that's all in a wealthy place.
In a poor and remote place like Yunhai County, a beggar looks better than most people.
Can you live such a prosperous life just by begging?
Obviously not.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand.
"Come here, catch him."
