Chapter 98 A sudden idea
"Then I will go back and report my life first, so I won't disturb the Lord. Please stay." My father-in-law knew the silver in his hand after a little weighing it, and his face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
"I'm having trouble, be careful on the road."
I watched them leave because they were in the county government office, and the reward was not given in person, but would be sent to their respective homes by a special person afterwards.
After the person left, everyone bowed to Liu Feiyun from the bottom of their hearts: "Thank you, Lord County, for your support."
"Oh~" Liu Feiyun tsk: "As for it, this is all everyone's own efforts. Those with ability will make their own achievements, which has nothing to do with me."
Liu Feiyun said this, but others dared not think about it. If it weren't for his arrival, I wouldn't know what chaos would be like in Yuyang County. It would be a blessing to not be dismissed from office and imprisonment, let alone get some rewards at this time.
Feng Yu and others bowed again, and then Feng Yu looked flattering: "Sir, the father-in-law who just announced the imperial edict called you the Lord, is this?"
"But a county baron made some small contributions at the beginning, and His Majesty respected him as rewarded with a title."
Liu Feiyun said it lightly, but you would not think that this is a small achievement. You should know that there are not many titles in Xihao Kingdom today, and each one is famous, otherwise his father's outstanding contributions were finally passed on to him.
This adult was awarded the title as a young man. Even if he was just a small county man, he was also a title, and he became one of the nobles of the Western Kingdom.
Before we knew it, everyone looked at Liu Feiyun with a sense of awe and admiration. Perhaps because of his position, now he sincerely called him: sir.
"Okay, everyone should go down and work hard. Pay more attention to the heat and do not forget your responsibilities, but your health is also extremely important."
"Thank you for your concern, I'll pay attention later."
An imperial edict only changes the lives of some officials, and what else should be done? Everyone devotes enthusiasm to giving advice to the people in exchange for gratitude from the people.
In fact, many officials have a hope of becoming famous and famous throughout the ages, but more of them are powerless or unable to get the right opportunity. At this time, although the situation in Yuyang County cannot reach that level and the protagonist is not them, they can leave a few ink marks in history no matter how they say it.
The reconstruction of the homes of the people in Yuyang County is progressing smoothly, and now it has almost returned to its past and even surpassed it.
But some things are always difficult to eliminate. The pirates who had disappeared appeared again, and this time, they are even more cruel and unscrupulous.
In this era, wars often took place on land, and on horseback, they were unfamiliar with the ocean. They relied on the Western Kingdom's lack of regular navy and ignorance of the sea, and could not grasp their exact whereabouts, and they eluded and plundered everywhere.
Liu Wei hurriedly sent someone back to report the pirates, and checked at the scene to see if he could get some useful information.
After receiving the news, Liu Feiyun couldn't take effective measures for a while. The most important thing was that he suffered from the loss of being unfamiliar with the ocean, and there was no big ship by the sea that could support them in exploring the sea.
He said to the officers and soldiers who passed the message: "Tell Liu Junwei to send more people to focus on some hidden places and think about the location where pirates might sneak into it. Now we should focus on defense first."
If you can't take the initiative, you will naturally have to wait for the rabbit and cast a wide net, so that you can discover the traces of pirates in advance as much as possible.
"The subordinates understand and will pass it to the county magistrate without missing a word."
When the officers and soldiers left, Liu Feiyun tapped the table with his five fingers, thinking about what he should do. In fact, if he really wanted to inquire about the nest of these pirates, there would definitely be a safe way.
"What should I do?"
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Liu Feiyun's mind. The sea area is very mysterious to most people, and unknown means danger. But everything has two sides. If you are familiar with it, it will be safe to a certain extent.
"If you find a safe island overseas as a base, this is an opportunity to get a safer retreat and guarantee."
The valley is now hidden, but it is on land. If the existence of the valley is discovered and large-scale people dig three feet to search, the possibility of discovery will not be small.
"You can consider this matter and ask someone to notify Brother Liu and the others when you go back in the evening."
At night, Liu Feiyun asked Liu Yi and the others to pass their ideas back to the valley, and Liu Shuhan, who received the news, gave an answer on the second day.
"It is feasible, it is easy to find shipbuilders. In fact, we can also test it ourselves, but we don't know how to build large ships, especially ships that can sail safely in the sea."
Liu Feiyun did not understand the ship manufacturing technology, but he knew that the appearance and the concept beyond the times were also beyond the times. Steel and cement manufacturing were powered by steam, rather than the simple wooden ships that were made by hand.
He took out paper and pen to write down his ideas, especially asking them to build a large pool to reduce the proportion and test it, and then set the model after success and continuous improvement, so as to produce it.
In addition, when building large ships, you must find a suitable port to build a dock at the beach, otherwise it will not be transported to the beach at that time. People must be sent to search in advance.
One thought leads to countless things. If he really wants to build the ship he wants, he doesn't know how much time and energy it will take. But for the sake of the future, everything is worth it.
The world is unpredictable, but who knows the future changes, multiple roads and multiple opportunities.
A few days passed, and I don’t know that these pirates knew Liu Feiyun’s arrangement and suddenly disappeared again. This made people very upset. Passiveness is always more unpleasant than active.
The more you do this, the less you cannot be taken lightly. He has to pay attention to this matter. If there is no solution to the tragedy in the people, people will be panic and add a lot of trouble to him.
In addition to leaving behind the yamen runners who needed to stay in the county yamen, all the officers, soldiers and soldiers were sent out, and Liu Feiyun's valley team members moved from focusing on Ye Guo's people to pirates.
"Report." With a rapid cry, a soldier with broken armor and blood stains came to the government office. Under Feng Yu's leadership, he came to Liu Feiyun and said: "Sir, I found the traces of pirates. The county magistrate chased him and surrounded him in a valley. However, the valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can't take it for a long time. The county magistrate asked the young one to come to the county magistrate to seek advice."
"Oh, it's blocked?" Liu Feiyun touched his chin and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Forget it." Suddenly Liu Feiyun changed his words: "Let's go and have a look together. There's nothing wrong. Let's go and see what kind of person is, and dare to commit a murder in my Yuyang County."
Feng Yu opened his mouth to dissuade him, but in the end he did not speak out and set off with Liu Feiyun. Moreover, the soldier's words should not be in danger.
They rode away on horseback, and a few hours later, Liu Feiyun and others appeared in front of Liu Wei. At this time, they set up camp in front of a valley entrance to prevent the pirates from escaping.
As soon as Liu Feiyun arrived, he said: "Mr. Liu, have you checked the surrounding terrain? Will you escape from other places?"
"Sir, please rest assured." Liu Wei explained: "At the first time, the officials sent people to investigate. Only here can pass through the three cliffs, but the officials from the four cliffs also sent people to guard them, and even if they had wings, they would be difficult to fly."
"It's just that they can't escape, but we can't do anything to them. If we force ourselves to break through, there will be more casualties."
Liu Wei's explanation was very satisfied. Since it is the most correct choice to stay around and not make any rash efforts, you will starve to death sooner or later if you don't get supplies, but it may take longer.
"How big is the valley?" Liu Feiyun came, so he naturally had to solve the problems he faced as much as possible, so he asked.
"I wonder if there is a solution for ten acres of land?" Liu Wei said expectantly.
"Take me to the mountain to have a look."
"Please come with me." Liu Wei led the team himself, and Gukou was surrounded by Tuantu. It would be no problem for him to leave for a while.
Standing at a high place and looking down at the entire valley, you can see the edge at a glance, but the height is not low, more than ten meters. This distance may not be difficult for Liu Feiyun's security regiment, but these sergeants and pirates do not have such rock climbing skills.
Condescending, these people were like turtles in a jar. At this moment, Liu Feiyun thought of a solution, but it was a bit cruel.
That is fire attack. This place is not big, and there are a lot of trees and weeds, and there is no source of streams. It can hardly be extinguished after ignition.
Before long, Liu Feiyun made a decision that his kindness to the enemy was cruelty to himself. Aren’t those people who died innocently? They didn’t keep their hands at all. They all died, but the ways of dying were different. There was no so-called cruelty or cruelty among the hostile forces.
Liu Wei looked at Liu Feiyun as if he was thinking, and did not dare to disturb him at all. At this moment, he saw Liu Feiyun raise his head, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, do you have a clever plan?"
"It's very simple, it's just a bit unkind."
Seeing Liu Feiyun say this, Liu Wei asked tentatively: "What do you mean by fire attack?"
"Not bad." Liu Feiyun was surprised: "Liu Junwei knew about fire attack, why not use it?"
"The Lord doesn't know that although it's summer now, the grass and trees are lush and not flammable, if the fire is big, it will be uncontrollable once it spreads. Therefore, the officials dare not follow this plan."
"I see."
The fire attack plan is simple and most people can think of it. After listening to Liu Wei's explanation, Liu Feiyun finally understood that it was not that they could not think of it, but that they had some concerns. This concern is not without reason. Although the plants and trees do not dry up, it does not mean that they will not burn. Once the fire spreads, the consequences are unpredictable.
However, this problem is very simple for Liu Feiyun. He said: "It's easy. If you send someone to remove all the plants and trees within one meter of the edge of the cliff, and then use a fire plan, it will definitely be foolproof. Even if there is an accident, it can be easily controlled."
"That's so simple?"
“It’s that simple.”
Liu Feiyun knew that they did not understand the concept of isolation belt. In this era, the fire was either annihilated by itself, but also the use of water.
Seeing that Liu Wei was still confused, Liu Feiyun said, "June Liu can do what he said, don't worry, there is no problem."
"Yes, then the official will make arrangements right away."
The range was not large, and it didn't take much time for a group of people to clean up. Of course, their actions did not hide from the pirates below, and they stared at the upper and valley entrance vigilantly.
"Go on."
