Chapter 261 Blue Eyed Tiger is trapped in Zhaojia Village
Raising carrier pigeons was a relatively common thing in the previous life. However, in this era where Wang Lun lived, it was still a rare and new thing. Otherwise, when a country's power minister first heard the orders of the pigeon, he would not be surprised and acted as unprecedented.
Although Liu Bang saved his life by relying on "Flying Slaves to deliver letters" as early as the Chu and Han dynasties, the development of military pigeons was limited by technical reasons, and secondly, because people did not pay enough attention to him, the development of this "instant communication" method still seemed intermittent in the long river of history, and did not start from points to lines, nor was it fully deployed on a large scale.
Qu Duan can use pigeons for military purposes, which shows that this person is extremely agile. This time, Han Shizhong accidentally saved his family to the mountain and would not let go of anything he said, which may change the opportunities for communication disadvantages in this era.
After a long talk with Huangfu Duan, the world's leading veterinarian also realized the importance of pigeons to copycats, and immediately promised to learn how to train pigeons with Qu San. Wang Lun solemnly entrusts this important task to him and rewards Qu San with great appreciation, so that he can willingly teach this unique skill.
"Scholar, is this flying pigeon's letter as lingering as you said?" After coming out of Huangfu Duan, Han Shizhong was still a little confused and asked.
"No matter how strong the horse's hooves are, they cannot catch up with the wings of a pigeon!" Wang Lun smiled and said, "As the saying goes, old horses know the way, this pigeon is also ordinary. No matter how many miles apart, you can find your way home. Don't underestimate this kind of bird. In the future, many things that are made by copying the village may depend on it!" Of course, a pigeon is not omnipotent. On the way to deliver a letter, you may encounter natural enemies such as eagles, and you may lose your way. But these flaws are really insignificant compared to the prospect of large-scale use of pigeons.
Han Shizhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. But when he looked at Wang Lun again, his eyes contained too many things.
...
In the next half month, Wang Lun managed the copycat affairs in an orderly manner.
Zhu Gui had already released the wind, and the copycat needed to buy a large amount of goods such as wood, porcelain, spinning, tea, etc. Because Liangshanpo did not disturb the people's reputation first, he saw merchants from all walks of life gathering in the Li family, wanting to do business with Liangshan and establish relationships. Pei Xuan's two elder brothers, Meng Da and Meng Er, stayed in the hotel every day, bargaining with the merchants, and were very busy. These two had officially transferred their subordinates, and at this time they could do their best to start their own business.
The field battalions under the jurisdiction of the Four Guards of the Four Guards were still practicing vigorously under the leadership of their respective commanders and deputy generals. In particular, the Sixth Battalion of the Navy was moved by the huge prospects depicted by Wang Lun. He no longer complained that he had no place to use his skills and was intensifying the training of the navy. The three Ruan clans worked harder. Wang Lun had expanded their third battalions into a 2,000-man organization. When these three brothers were fine, they went to Wang Dingliu to train large ships to train in order to go to sea in the future.
On this day, after handling the urgent matters in Juyi Hall, Wang Lun took Xiao Jiasui to Mengkang's shipyard.
Because of wood, there were only three sea boats worth 1,000 materials under construction by the lake at this time, but the progress was different. The fastest was only half of the project. Seeing Wang Lun and Xiao Jiasui coming, Meng Kang showed a hint of bitterness on his dark face, and he "reported" as soon as he came up: "Brother, military advisor, you have to urge me! Brother Tang Long has dragged me for several days, and the batch of 500 kilograms of iron nails that had been agreed to have not been sent!"
Wang Lun and Xiao Jiasui looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Jiasui said, "You must not know that he is complaining about the complaints here! The prisoners added this time are all newcomers, telling him that the output there will not increase but decrease. Now a master has at least three or five disciples, which is not as fast as before. Just wait! When the newcomer becomes a mature player, everything will be easy to say!"
Meng Kang sighed and said, "Actually, I am the average here. Although there are three thousand new forces, their skills are really hard to express. I dare not rush to work, so I just asked the experienced men to take them with me. But Brother Li Jun looked at it and was going to come back. I am afraid that this batch of sea boats would not be able to catch up!"
Seeing that, Wang Lun waved his hand and said, "Do whatever you should do, don't rush to work! This boat is walking on the sea and dare not make any mistakes, otherwise it will be a joke on the lives of the navy brothers!" After saying that, Wang Lun emphasized again: "Slow work and meticulous work, you can only follow your progress!"
Seeing that Wang Lun understood his suffering so well, Meng Kang thanked him with great satisfaction. Wang Lun asked him how he learned the skills of supervising sea boats. Meng Kang lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "There is a big difference between sea boats and river boats. I am still asking for advice from the invited masters!"
"Thank you for your hard work these days! I still said that I can't hurry up! I have to settle down and make sure that our copycat can build sea boats independently!" Wang Lun nodded and said.
Meng Kang saw this and nodded and said, "At most no more than three months, I can master the skills of supervising ships below 2,000 materials!"
Even a skilled man like Meng Kang would take half a year to learn how to build a sea boat. It seems that he should not be demanding on others. However, as for the current situation of the copycat, there are only five medium and small sea boats that can go out to sea. It seems that after the copycat's financial situation is more abundant, it is better to send someone to the south to buy some sea boats.
Wang Lun and Xiao Jiasui, accompanied by Meng Kang, inspected the shipyard. Wang Lun felt that the prisoners were in good spirits. At that time, when Meng Kang, Tang Long and Tao Zongwang were selecting people among the prisoners, Wang Lun announced that any prisoners selected by the parody will not only be full of food every day, but also decide whether to absorb them as official members of the parody based on their future performance.
Once they become official members of the parody, all their treatment will be consistent with the staff of the village. For these prisoners whose lives are hanging on the line, this policy undoubtedly aroused their desire to survive. Except for the last small group of lazy people, most of the prisoners were digested by these three large-scale employers who urgently needed manpower.
After walking around, Wang Lun and Xiao Jiasui did not stay for too long. They talked to Meng Kang again and were about to say goodbye. Suddenly, Zhu Fu was overwhelmed with sorrow and came hurriedly. Wang Lun stopped and asked him why.
Zhu Fu cried and said, "My brother's mentor, Qingyan Hu Li Yun. My brother also knows him! He is trapped in the dungeon of a wealthy family in Mengyin County, and his life is in full swing. I hope my brother will send troops to rescue me because of my brother's face!"
Wang Lun was stunned when he heard this and said, "He is not the head of Yishui County, why are he locked up in Mengyin County? Let's talk about it in detail!"
Zhu Fu exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in detail: "Although this village is in Mengyin, it is not far from Yishui. My master has a distant relative, and his family is neighboring this village. In this village, there is a housekeeper named Jinzhuang in the house. He wants to ask my master's daughter as a concubine. The family is also a wealthy family. He is not willing to ask his daughter to be a concubine. He really doesn't want to have any entanglements with this family, so he refuses. However, Jinzhuang insists on using force. The family has no choice but to ask my master to come forward and make a mistake." Speaking of this, Zhu Fu's eyes were slightly red and he said angrily:
"I don't expect that the village owner was so arrogant that he was so frightened that he arrested my master. The master asked someone to go to the county government to rescue him. But the owner was very powerful. Not only was he very familiar with the officials in Mengyin County, but even the new magistrate of Yishui County asked them to bribe them! This guy also asked someone to speak out, saying that he would destroy my master's majesty and keep him for a year or two. When he gave birth to a baby, he would see how he could stand out!"
When Wang Lun saw this, he looked at Xiao Jiasui in surprise, and felt that this matter was really incredible. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials, and the village owner is just a local tyrant, and he dares to detain the head of Lin County! Even Chao Gai, a powerful Yuncheng tyrant, or the arrogant Zhujiazhuang, never did this. Besides, Li Yun is not an ordinary person. He has martial arts skills that cannot be approached by thirty or fifty people. How could an ordinary wealthy family capture it?
"What is the surname of the village owner? What is the origin? What is his war?" Xiao Jiasui asked.
"This person is rich and powerful in the local area. Although he has never heard of any special relationship with the official, the couple is very skilled in martial arts. The owner of the manor surnamed Zhao and named Xin. When he was a young man, he wandered around the world and learned a lot of skills. After he came back, he told someone that he met an immortal saint and said that he would have some achievements in the future. This person has a family named Gao Liang. It is said that his martial arts are even more skilled than his men. This woman does not need ordinary swords and guns, and usually only wears sixteen flying knives. It is rumored that when her flying knives come out, blood will inevitably splash!"
"The couple is violent in nature, but they have a dispute. When they meet Zhao Xin, it is light to be beaten. However, when they meet Gao Liang, they are worried about their lives! If they are involved in a lawsuit for fate, the two will accus them of being a strong man. Anyway, the county officials asked them to bribe them and did not come to make things difficult for them, so they made them very arrogant! When the couple had nothing to do, they trained the people in the village to be strong. Whenever they had a dispute with their neighboring villages due to the land and water source, they would rush forward. Who has never suffered from their neighboring villages? Therefore, people in a county are afraid of them! Even when the matchmaker married and hired as a family, my master's relatives refused to marry them!"
Zhu Fu was obviously prepared. Although he was angry, he did not forget to find out the beginning and end of the matter. Finally, he said annoyedly: "My master didn't know the details, and he hit them in the knife! Fortunately, they were worried that my master was an official, so he didn't take his life!"
It turned out to be this evil couple! After hearing Zhu Fu's words, Wang Lun finally understood that the one who captured Li Yun was Zhaojia Village in Yizhou. It seemed that the couple was really destined to have a bad relationship with Liangshan.
"Call the leaders to gather in the hall to discuss matters!" Wang Lun suddenly said.
Zhu Fujian said that he was grateful and expressed his feelings of gratitude. He originally wanted to bring his brother over to beg Wang Lun to send troops to rescue his master, but Zhu Gui called him to come by himself when he heard the details. As expected, his brother was not a person who refused to save him.
When Zhu Fu was just sighing, he suddenly heard someone beside him shouting, "Let's wait!" When Zhu Fu hurriedly looked at the sound, he saw Xiao Jiasui exhorting to Wang Lun: "Brother is planning to kiss again this time? Brother Li Jun is going back soon. The matter of going to sea is related to the survival of the parcel. It is better for brother to stay in the parcel at this time!"
Seeing Wang Lun's deep thought expression on his face, Xiao Jiasui said again: "I'm not talented. I'm willing to go on a trip to my brother this time to meet this Zhaojia Village!"
Wang Lun lowered his head and thought to himself that Li Jun was about to come back, and he was indeed a little unable to leave. This official Xiao was definitely not Song Jiang's character, and this move was undoubtedly for the overall situation. Wang Lun's intentions were slightly moved, and Xiao Jiasui was indeed a suitable leader.
