Anthony had a lot of things to do, and had to make a contract. It was clear that the contract period was three years. The main task was to protect Wu Song's safety, escort goods, and follow the guards to fight pirates, bandits and bandits. But Anthony also had some advice. He did not fight with any official army, did not fight with the Song army, or with the Liao and Jin dynasties. Wu Song was very upset, but he thought about it. After all, they were mercenaries, just dozens of people. If they fought with the national army, they would be destroyed in minutes.

Wu Song said: "Anthony, are you proficient in training soldiers? Can you train your Roman phalanx?"

Anthony was shocked and said, "The boss actually knows the Roman phalanx?"

Luo Ping curled his lips: "Brother knows much more than you think."

Wu Song said: "The guards are basically small groups fighting. I think the small round shield and hand axe are quite practical. Li Kui has already started training such a team, so you can communicate more."

"Okay, it will."

Anthony was not talkative and was very capable. Wu Song lived in Qinghe Island for a few days. Seeing that it was getting late, he left Bian Xiang as the head of the red deceased, Tang Bin as the deputy head of the body, and there were also one hundred guards. There were more than a dozen warships stationed at the naval port. Except for the five originally armed sand ships, the other eight were pirate ships, mainly blessed ships, with large tonnages, generally over 500 tons. It was precisely because of eight blessed ships equipped with giant crossbows that dominated the Bohai Sea. Almost most caravans had to steal money from Black Wind to ensure safety. When they met a Tongda big car dealer, they would not pay money from Black Wind, but instead destroyed Black Wind Thieves. It was really hard to be a pirate.

Wu Song returned to Dongping Prefecture and came as soon as he arrived at the Cheshang.

He said: "Brother, there are two major events to be reported to me. The first is that Lord Li from Qinghe County has returned to Beijing to report his life. It is said that he will be released from the prefect. The second is that your uncle, Lord Wu, has also been promoted to the magistrate of Laiyang County, Laizhou Prefecture. I believe he will take office in the next few days."

"That's a great good news." Wu Song was very happy. This was a great good news. His cheap uncle was too sleek. Thanks to Wu Song's help, he finally became the county magistrate. The county magistrate was in charge of the country and was considered a big official. If he did well, he could be upgraded to a co-guild or even a prefect. If he became a prefect, he would be a dream for his whole life.

"Wait, where did Uncle Wu become the county magistrate just now?" Wu Song asked suddenly.

Wu Yong said: "Registered as the magistrate of Laiyang County."

Wu Song opened the map and saw that Qinghe Island happened to be not far from the coast of Laiyang County. It should be under the jurisdiction of Laiyang, after all, the distance is not too far.

"Okay, okay, that's really great." Wu Song was overjoyed.

Wu Yong said: "What's the matter with my brother so happy?"

Wu Song told Wu Yong about the newly established Tongda Car Store in Qinghe Island. The Red Dead Head had already arranged the arrangements, but the shopkeeper, the guy, the loader, the infrastructure workers, and the infrastructure workers were not in place yet, so Wu Yong needed to coordinate the arrangements.

Wu Yong looked at the map for a long time and said, "The place I chose is not very good."

"Why do you say that?" Wu Song asked.

Wu Yong said: "This Qinghe Island can connect the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms from the sea. If it was a peaceful era, this position was very important and could earn a lot of money by turning over goods. But now the dogs that the Song, Liao and Jin Kingdoms fought were all out. Is this Qinghe Island a place of war?"

Wu Song said: "Whether it is Liao or the emerging Jin Kingdom, the navy is not valued and almost neglected. The power of our Song Dynasty naval forces looks quite frightening, but in fact they have no combat power, so there is no need to be afraid at all. Next, we must vigorously develop our own fleet."

Wu Yong said: "Okay, let's not talk about business matters for now. The proposal of marriage has been almost done. Hu Sanniang and Cheng Wan both agreed. Hu Sanniang knew the general and well-educated person, and Wu Song agreed to propose marriage to the two of them at once."

"Then do it like this. Hujiazhuang proposes marriage and takes Ye Yu Lion to Sanniang. Lord Cheng proposes marriage and gives Li Ze the painting edited by him." Wu Song said.

Wu Yong is not easy to be a matchmaker. He not only manages a lot of things in Tongda Dache Store, but also helps Wu Song propose marriage.

"Brother, is that the gift too light for Lord Cheng?"

Wu Song said: "The gift is just right. Lord Cheng is dedicated to the people and does not value money very much. In the past few days, I will lead the police camp to various villages to supervise drought resistance and flood control, which is a gift to Lord Cheng."

Wu Yong said: "You have saved money and have a beautiful wife, so you don't have to spend the bride price."

It is already mid-April and it is drought. The rainy season will begin soon after the Dragon Boat Festival. Flood control needs to be done quickly.

The patrol camp was divided into two, 180 people, and then divided into ten people, with a total of eighteen teams. A team leader led the team to go to the villages to check for drought resistance and flood control. April is the season for sowing in the busy farmland. Tools such as water trucks, overturns, and hand presses are mostly used to resist drought in the ground, but at this time there will be a small peak of stealing. Thieves focus on water trucks and hand pressing wells with high value. Such things are prone to dehydration, so it is very necessary to specifically crack down on theft.

In the past, it was not common for rural police to appear, carrying a stick of water and fire and a knife slung around his waist. It was so majestic. Unlike previous police officers, there were very few scum among these people who dared to bully the people.

This year, the newly built small reservoirs in Dongping Prefecture have a large number of ponds and dams, which is of great help in flood control.

A few days later, Wu Song was patrolling outside Dongping Prefecture City. He had just caught two thieves, one stole the dog and the other stole the well.

Wu Yong came back excitedly, and Wu Song and Wu Yong returned to the cart shop together.

Wu Yong said: "It's fine, it's fine. Hu Taigong of Hu's village agreed, Hu Cheng also agreed. I don't need to say anything about Hu Sanniang."

"Where is Lord Cheng?" Wu Song asked.

Wu Yong said: "Mr. Cheng also agreed, but said that the child is still young and you can get engaged first, but you have to wait for engagement."

This era is good. Men can marry several women. Wu Song happily returned to Qinghe County to meet Hu Sanniang.

Hu Sanniang turned out that she had nothing to do when she saw Wu Song, but her face turned red when she got engaged.

"Sanniang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Wu Song asked.

Hu Sanniang said, "Erlang is back, I'm fine. Erlang will have a rest first."

Wu Song said: "We two get engaged and will be a family in the future. Do you want to stay at the headquarters as a coach, or do you want to go out to lead the team?"

"It's so uncomfortable if you don't practice it for a day. Being a coach is too dull, I want to go out," said Hu Sanniang.

Wu Song thought for a while and said, "How about you bring a fleet? Several new large ships have been added, and Ruan Xiaoqi is too busy alone, so he needs to establish a new fleet. Can you be willing?"
