Next to the river bank, green willows dance gently in the wind, and the vegetation is lush and full of life.
Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and other female family members were sitting on the cloud carriage. This cloud carriage was carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen and was very spacious. The carriage drove slowly on the road.
Armored cavalry guards were heavily guarded at the front and rear.
The roads around Sihong were straight and straight, built by craftsmen and laborers from the Construction Department who specialized in building roads. Many cloud cars could be seen speeding along both sides of the road.
"The cloud cart built by the Construction Department is really useful. Whether it is transporting food and grass or traveling, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources... Based on this alone, Director Zhao has made a great contribution!"
When Wang Jing traveled, he took Han Xizai, Xu Xuan and others with him.
As for Shen Yi and Bu Zhi, they were too busy with their affairs to be busy.
Han Xizai and Xu Xuan performed well during this period. At first glance, they showed that they sincerely moved closer to the Huai Army. Wang Jing brought the two of them when he went out, which was also a gesture of acceptance.
While observing the scenery outside the city, Han Xizai saw the speeding cloud car and couldn't help but sigh.
As he said.
The role of the cloud cart is really great. Sihong had a good harvest some time ago, and the government grain store began to purchase grain officially. The grain piled up like a mountain. If we transport this grain to the granary, we don’t know how much manpower and material resources will be wasted.
And with the cloud truck, as long as the grain is loaded into the truck, the grain can be delivered to the place in two or three days...
This kind of speed has to make people sigh.
Han Xizai could imagine that when the Huai army went on expeditions in the future, they would use cloud carts to transport food and grass quickly, and there would definitely be no shortage of food in the army.
Just this.
The Huai army does not need to fight. When fighting with those princes who are short of food, as long as they hold on, they can wear the opponent to death.
The cloud car can also provide fast transportation in Huaijun and speed up the circulation of goods, with countless benefits.
In the future, rewards will be based on merit, and Zhao Jianguo, the head of the construction department, will be knighted based solely on his contribution to the construction of the cloud car.
"Master Zhao's contribution is not small, I remember it in my heart... The cloud car is good, but the amount of spiritual stones consumed is not a small amount."
Wang Jing said.
He casually chatted with Han Xizai and Xu Xuan, looking at the farmland in the distance from time to time. In the farmland, a new round of sowing and watering of rice had begun...
Many people are busy in the farmland, and you can see that they all have smiles on their faces.
The farmland had a good harvest not long ago, and Wang Jing also ordered that taxes be exempted for one year.
The harvested food is enough to support these people for one or two years.
There was a bumper harvest and no taxes.
There are no landlords, gentry, local ruffians or petty officials to exploit them. The people of Sihong are all low-level farmers from various dynasties. How have they ever had such happy days?
You know, in the thousands of years of history of the original world, most of the time the people were in dire straits.
Even for a small period of time known as the prosperous age.
The common people also have to face layers of exploitation by the government, local gentry, landlords, tax collectors, gangsters, etc. Only 20 to 30% of the 10% of food falls into their hands.
Sometimes, they don’t even have two or three percent. Once the harvest is bad, they will go hungry and either flee the famine or take out a loan... In the end, they will sell their land, their sons and daughters, and their families will be ruined.
Their fields will eventually be concentrated in the hands of the landlords and gentry.
Land annexation was the fundamental reason for the demise of the dynasty.
Wang Jing's Huai army is still in the stage of rising, and the land of China mainland is vast enough, so there has been no land annexation yet.
But this kind of thing needs to be taken precautions against.
While traveling.
Wang Jing will also subconsciously observe the farmland and the demeanor of the people to judge their situation.
At this time, a large number of craftsmen and hard workers in the Huai Army were constantly building roads, using roads as meridians to connect the various territories of the Huai Army.
The cloud car is the "blood" flowing in the blood vessels, transporting all kinds of food and materials to places waiting for construction.
Gu you
Every day, the strength of the Huai Army is increasing.
…
At the same time, within Shuyang Prefecture.
More than three thousand soldiers formed a murderous formation at the foot of a mountain. There were trees in the mountain in front of them, and a mountain stronghold was located behind the trees and rocks, guarding the dangerous point.
There were a large number of people armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows in the stronghold, relying on the mountains to confront the soldiers in the distance.
"General, this is the last bandit camp in Lianshui County!"
A thousand households were in the military formation, reporting in a deep voice.
At this time, the general commanding a battalion of soldiers was Mu Chun, who had repeatedly made meritorious service and was promoted to guerrilla general.
He was now wearing armor with a sword hanging on his waist. His eyes were like lightning, staring at the stronghold in front of him. There was a cold look on his face, and he looked like a general in charge of the army.
The thief spirit of being the leader of Liangshan has completely disappeared.
"The last cottage..."
After Mu Chun took office as an official in the Shuyang Prefecture, he began to be ordered to lead troops to suppress bandits. The so-called bandits were the Shanzhai Wubao who disobeyed King Huai's rule, as well as the real bandits and horse thieves.
Sometimes, Wubao will block and rob passers-by when they encounter pedestrians. Rich families who build Wubao to defend themselves can switch seamlessly with bandits. It's hard to tell.
But for the Huai army, if you can't tell the difference, don't tell it.
Just cut through the mess with a sharp knife, whether it is the wealthy families who normally build Wubao, or the thieves who really rob and kill, just sweep them all away.
The cottage in front of you.
He took in a large number of horse and mountain bandits who had escaped from the Huai army, and thousands of people gathered at this time.
"Since this is the last one, speed up and solve it as soon as possible!"
Mu Chun rode the horse and held the handle of the knife at his waist.
A murderous look flashed in his eyes.
I don't know when, he and Chen Da were reduced to leading troops to suppress bandits and deal with those thieves. When fighting externally, they were even quickly surpassed by Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng.
Both his status and authority in the military began to decline. Not only him, but also his eldest brother Mu Hong was overshadowed by Yang Kan.
It is said that Yang Kan was an enemy of ten thousand people and the best general in history.
It seems natural that his eldest brother Mu Hong should be surpassed by him.
But Mu Chun couldn't tolerate this situation.
Uh-huh!
He drew his sword. If he wanted a higher status and authority, he had to make meritorious deeds. He must continue to make meritorious deeds and return to the sight of the king and others.
"Archers come forward, swordsmen and shielders are ready to attack the stronghold!"
Mu Chun shouted sharply.
Following his order, the archers began to quickly approach the mountain stronghold under the cover of shields.
Swish, swish, swish!
The arrows rained like a cloud, and were thrown to the wall and behind the village. When the arrows fell, screams suddenly sounded.
kill!
Mu Chun's blood energy surged, and his whole body's energy surged. He shouted loudly, and after being covered with bows and arrows, he personally led people to attack the stronghold.
In constant fighting.
He has already entered the level of a fourth-level general...
boom!
The fourth-level military general personally took action. Under the impact of the Gang Qi, all the stones and wooden piles that were thrown at Mu Chun were split. Then there was a roar, and the village gate was bombarded by the Gang Qi and exploded...
