"Young master, you don't know. This Taihang Mountain bandit has been eyeing the Maocheng Granary. During this period, he has been harassing them frequently. If he hadn't been completely sure of the situation in the granary, he would have taken action long ago."
Su Xue explained that in fact, while being escorted by the bandits, she heard some news from her mouth. The number of bandits had increased sharply, but the food supply had not kept up. Solving the food problem was of course a top priority.
Yu Yi thought about it and felt that it made sense. Looking at the location of the granary, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the terrain was steep. It was probably a battleground for military strategists.
When Ding Zhiming saw Yu Yi leaving, he just sighed and said to Wu Lanmu: "It has been a long time since we have seen such a young man in this court. Give me an order and the sentries will increase the frequency of patrols."
"Su Xue, just send me here and go back quickly."
When the two came to the east of Maocheng, Yu Yi called out to Su Xue and asked her to go back.
Su Xue wanted to give it away again, but Yu Yi insisted and disagreed. In the end, she could only say "treasure" and waved to Yu Yi in the distance.
Yuyi left Maocheng and headed towards Guangzong. Along the way, he thought about strategies to defeat the enemy. The bandits were scattered. If they attack separately, and the required troops are difficult to raise, even if they win by chance, they will be killed. The enemy has 800, and the self-loss is 1,000.
When you arrive in Maocheng, Daoxiang Village is very close. It is between Guangzong and Maocheng. To the north of Guangzong is Julu.
Along the way, Yu Yi would compare the economic development of the places he passed with that of Daoxiang Village, and found that Daoxiang Village was much more advanced. Take Maocheng as an example. Although this place covers a large area, it is actually a large rural area. The development model and population size are incomparable to Daoxiang Village.
This made Yu Yi feel quite proud and looked forward to the open development of Daoxiang Village. Yuyi came to the border of Daoxiang Village. He thought it was a prosperous scene, but as he walked all the way from the southwest gate, he found that there was a depression on the road. Some villagers were even disheveled, and most of them looked at Yu Yi with dull eyes.
Going further east, Yu Yi found a very long guardrail that divided Daoxiang Village in half. He quickly jumped over it and compared the living conditions of the villagers on both sides. He quickly understood what was going on.
He first felt very disappointed, and then angry. Before leaving, Zhang Minghua promised that as long as he left Daoxiang Village, Daoxiang Village would not be split. He did not expect that he would go back on his word, which was really abominable.
In order to further understand the situation, Yuyi walked quickly to Li Qingsheng's residence.
It is said that Zhang Minghua abolished all the systems in the East District in anger. After a period of development, the differences were reflected, and the gap between the rich and the poor on both sides further widened. The villagers of Daoxiang Village in the West District always secretly broke small holes in the guardrails and went to the homes of the villagers in the West District. Stealing food will always cause some friction over time. As the leader of the East District, Li Qingsheng just turned a blind eye to this kind of thing. Someone came up and suggested that the villagers who stole food should be severely punished, but Li Qingsheng did not Shaking his head, in order to maintain the unity of Daoxiang Village, don't intensify conflicts unless absolutely necessary.
Yu Yi came to Li Qingsheng's residence, only to find his master's wife. She was still keeping vigil for her master Diao Ruxiao. After seeing Yu Yi, she was a little surprised. When she learned that Li Qingsheng was not there, Yu Yi just exchanged greetings and left. .
He walked towards the nearby Xiaofu Yamen, where he found Huang Shumin. After Huang Shumin took Yu Yi away, he told Yu Yi the specific process of the division and rule of Daoxiang Village. As the commander-in-chief of Tang Lin Army, he had such a hot temper. She went to Li Qingsheng again and again and asked to send troops directly to solve the problem, but Li Qingsheng always found a reason to let him stop.
This division weakened the original strength of Tang Lin's army. The original team of several thousand people lost many capable officers.
This division is actually an old conflict in Daoxiang Village, a game between the indigenous people of Daoxiang Village and the refugees who have moved in from other places.
After Yu Yi calmed down Huang Shumin's emotions, the next stop was to go to the pawn shop to find Wu Chenggong, a profiteer, to see how he was doing.
From small government offices to pawnshops, there are a series of institutions in between. Yu Yi took a rough look at them and was pleased that they still existed and did not stop due to this blow.
When he arrived near the pawn shop, Yu Yi saw Wu Chenggong standing at the door from a distance and shouted: "Old Wu, you're fine!"
Wu Chenggong was startled at first, then quickly walked to Yuyi to greet him, saying, "You came back in time. If this continues, my caravan will not be able to survive."
Yu Yi smiled slightly, thinking that the quarantine must have affected the trade of Daoxiang Village, otherwise Wu Chenggong would not be so eager, so he comforted: "I heard some things from Huang Shumin, I think we need to consider it in the long term, and you also Don’t be impatient, let’s take your time.”
Wu Chenggong nodded, introduced Yu Yi into the pawn shop, and then began to complain.
Wu Chenggong is undoubtedly the richest man in Daoxiang Village. Although he is very low-key, he will always attract some people.
In the past, there were some refugees who often wanted to rob Wu Chenggong and rob his caravan. Later, Yu Yi taught these people a hard lesson through Huang Shumin. However, after the separation, they came back again, four times. This time Wu Chenggong received an important order. If he was robbed and taken away, he would suffer huge losses.
Yuyi wanted to ask why he didn't go to Li Qingsheng to solve the problem, but he swallowed his words again. Li Qingsheng's principle of dealing with things was to be as tolerant as possible, so it was definitely useless to go to him.
When Wu Chenggong finished speaking, Yu Yi patted the other party on the shoulder and said: "No matter how much you tolerate, the economic lifeline of Daoxiang Village cannot be affected. This matter will definitely have a result."
Wu Chenggong nodded, acquiescing.
After reminiscing with Wu Chenggong, Yuyi's next stop was the weapons store, where he went to look for Lei Chunze.
When he walked to the door, Yu Yi found his sister-in-law standing there holding a fat boy. Lei Chunze also came out after a while.
"I said you are a good boy. You already have children!"
Yuyi walked up to Lei Chunze and smiled.
"Huh? Why are you back!"
Lei Chunze was surprised to see it was Yuyi.
"Why, you don't want me to come back, then I'll just leave."
With that said, Yuyi prepared to leave.
"Oh, where are you? We are all very happy to have you back. You must know the situation in the village."
Lei Chunze quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Yu Yi was really about to leave. He was just joking with Lei Chunze. He stopped before the other party could stop him and said, "I understand part of the things in the village. Where are you going?"
Yuyi observed that his sister-in-law was holding a child and still holding luggage in her hands. Lei Chunze was about to close the door, so he asked about the situation.
