It was almost noon when Liang Shifa looked back and saw a peddler carrying a load, swaying from afar.

Liang Shifa smiled as soon as he saw it, then quickly turned his face and looked over the corner of his eyes.

The peddler is of medium size and is much thicker than that of ordinary people. He doesn't care about carrying heavy burdens at all. Looking at his casual and relaxed appearance, he is like carrying an empty shoulder pole.

Liang Shifa knew that this person was suspicious at first glance. There was no peddler walking along the official road like this. There were several hundred households and folk villages along the way. This person did not walk along the village, but walked along the official road, and did not shout. He looked around while walking. He knew that he had a purpose and was not a serious peddler at all.

Liang Shifa was careful when he pretended to be a peddler to find out the news, and even made a good deal of the goods price. Before he left, he chatted with the real peddler to find out the news, and he was quite familiar with and experienced when doing business. Liang Shifa originally worked as a peddler, but he had a bit of a businessman's aura. After walking for more than ten days, he was not suspected at all.

If Liang Shifa was like this man on the official road in front of him, he would have been discovered by the bandits in the south long ago, and it would have been impossible to come back safely.

While funny, he was also shocked. The person who came to the whistleblower was so swaying and was very scared, which only showed that the other party was quite powerful, which gave the whistleblower to act without hesitation. Thinking of this, Liang Shifa's heart sank.

"Little Flag," Liang Shifa's men were extremely smart and alert. Except for Liang Shifa who saw something wrong, everyone else naturally found something wrong. A man slowly approached and said in a low voice: "Do you want to catch that guy and torture and interrogate?"

"Not appropriate." Liang Shifa shook his head and said, "They will definitely not only send out one person. If they catch one, they will alarm the others and will also alert the sent out. What we want is that they are careless and must not alarm the snake."

"Then let's go out and stare at this person?"

"No need." Liang Shifa thought for a while and said, "They came from the north. The most convenient way to go back is to go north from this official road. I see that he is so arrogant, he may not be careful. He will most likely go back from here."

"Will he see the reality and reality of our households?"

"What do you think?"

Liang Shifa smiled and the subordinate who asked the question also smiled, saying, "This person can't even enter the outermost area, let's wait for him to turn around."

Now due to the tense situation, the peripheral sentry has been pushed to the river outside the sentry tower. These foreign faces cannot even pass through the peripheral sentry. No matter what pedestrians, merchants, peddlers, travelers, Taoists, or monks, no matter what identity they are, they cannot pass through.

Even if I was lucky enough to pass the first checkpoint, and there were sentries and sporting posts around the village entrance and around, and there were several patrol teams inside. Now many workers from a hundred foreign households have left, and those who stayed are all identified and recorded their names, and the management is quite strict. These bandits and pirates' posts are not even locals, and they cannot enter the households at all, let alone any useful news from the posts.

The peddler was walking forward with a swagger under the eyes of everyone. He saw that he was walking directly over the river and went to the 300th house. A few miles away, there was a ferry crossing the river. The man did not follow the people to cross the river, but continued to go westward. There were two small Tuchengs there, two of the five Wutuchengs on both sides of the Huai River. Only some poor homes that were barely settled there. Going westward, after crossing the river, Qianhusuocheng, which is also the only small city that looks like a few dozen miles. Within a radius of more than three miles, there are Qianhusuoyamen and many temples and temples. There are also some pilgrims walking with the peddler. The weather has been sunny these days, and some nearby residents went to the Taoist temples in Susuo to burn incense and worship Buddha to fulfill their wishes.

The peddler was caught among a group of pilgrims and friends who visited relatives and friends. He didn't feel how dazzling he was at all. He just looked around and walked proudly to the west.

Liang Shifa's eyes kept staring at the man until the man turned a corner and disappeared under a large area of ​​willow trees. He turned his head and let out a sigh of relief.

Somehow, this time, the errands that were carefully guarded and done was handed over to Liang Shifa. Han Sen could not always do the job of serving the military officer. Min Yuanqi was handed over to Min Yuanjin to take charge of military officers. Compared with Liang Shifa, who was smart and knowledgeable in mathematics, Min Yuanjin's ability was definitely weaker. I heard that in recent days, Min Yuanjin had a small hospital in the official hall of hundreds of households every night. He led the team to train during the day, and was also responsible for military officers. At night, he had to read at night. In addition to learning to read, he seemed to have to learn Suzhou codes. Liang Shifa felt a little gloating when he thought about the difficulties he was studying.

To be fair, Liang Shifa is more suitable for the position of quartermaster officer, but after running away and inquiring about the news, Liang Shifa felt that he also liked this mysterious and complex errand, and he liked the feeling of walking on a wire rope.

This time, the detectives were on guard and found that the happiness of the enemy spies was really ten times more pleasant than making a whole book of books. Liang Shifa felt a little crazy. If his family knew that his thoughts were going to be noisy, but Liang Shifa just liked to do these things in front of him. This was a very contradictory thought. Liang Shifa thought about it and felt that it was the two days when he went out when he was studying with Min Yuanqi.

What are the whistle, anti-watching, intelligence summary, shorthand, how to get information, disguise, what are the information, assassination, actions, etc.... At that time, Liang Shifa felt like he was listening to the heavenly book, but recently, he felt more and more.

Just as the current situation, the disguise and message transmission have been arranged. Even if someone is secretly staring at this group of flag troops, he cannot notice the abnormality. More than ten miles along the coast are filled with stoves set up by hundreds of households in the north of the Huaihe River, including private households, because it is best to make tides close to the seaside, which is the most time-saving and labor-saving.

Under these sheds are full of large pots for salt frying and corresponding facilities, usually in groups of five or six or ten. There are so many stoves and military households, and there is no way to identify where they come from. Of course, no one will come to check the details. The foreign bandits and pirates are even more powerless, so it is safest and proper to hide like this.

After seeing the peddler walking away, Liang Shifa sat down, wrote a text message with a charcoal pen, and then sealed it and handed it to a flag army, asking him to send it directly to Hedu Wharf.

The boatman who was raising the boat on the dock was originally from the 300th household. Liang Shifa changed his subordinate to support the pole on the ferry. Seeing that the subordinate took his letter, he quickly rode the boat away. Liang Shifa nodded slightly and felt relieved.

But after this matter was over, a solemn and tense mood spread across the team.

News of pirates and bandits coming had long been spreading. Nearly 200 people walked away from the construction site for this, and the remaining people were stabilized by various methods. If they had not responded well, most of the outsiders from Yanchi and the construction site would have gone away.

Even in the military camp, rewards and punishments are used. With a head of people, the morale of the army is stabilized. And thanks to the subtle influence brought by regular rigorous training, the banner army is more likely to abide by military rules and regulations. Otherwise, based on the tradition of the guards, many banner army should have dispersed when they heard the news of bandit attacks.

Since the bandits and pirates sent spies to do this, it was obvious that they could not give up.

Even if the detailed worker did not find any useful information, the pirates and bandits obviously would not care too much. As long as they explore the road clearly and find out where the 300th house is, the enemy will probably come in large numbers, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

"The important thing now is to figure out how many people there are, how many bandits, and how many pirates there are." Liang Shifa said in a deep voice to his subordinates: "If you have an adult to take charge of everything, our task is to clarify the enemy situation. Everyone's eyes will be wide open in the next time. I guess the bandits will return one by one before the evening. We must stay there. We must not be careless and be careless. If you have to bear the entrustedness of the adults!"

Everyone did not speak, but everyone's eyes were very concise and firm. They were all the elderly in the 300th household. During this period, everyone saw the changes in the 100 households and enjoyed the actual benefits. From the time when Min Yuanqi started building the Yanchi and training the flag army, the entire 100 households had earth-shaking changes. Everyone went from suffering and hunger every day to having food to get every day, women no longer complained, children no longer woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, even

By now, the trained flag troops have already had clear goals. After the next time, each person can receive a monthly salary ranging from one or several ounces... Take Liang Shifa's current subordinates, several of them are team officials, who can receive one stone of grain and two taels of silver every month. The grain is refined grain. If the income is completely replaced by coarse grain, it will be at least a net income of more than three stones per month, and the income of dozens of stones a year will be a year. The whole family will never be able to starve again.

Not only do you eat, but you can also eat meat, new clothes, fine rice and white flour, and even rebuild old houses. These good things you thought of when you dream of dreams are already in front of you.

Everyone in front of Liang Shifa was the actual beneficiaries of Min Yuanqi's command. Loyalty didn't need to be said much. At the moment, everyone stopped talking and was still busy with salt cooking, but their minds were basically used on the passers-by on the official road, and they would never dare to be careless.

...

A row of tiled houses was built in front of Shen Yong's residence. The materials for the building were all freshly burnt blue bricks and green tiles, both of which were original colors, and they looked quite simple and unpretentious. The wealthy families in the city built large houses, all of which were to draw gold and paint colors, and the clay workers did this. The row of houses in front of us, lined up from north to south, were all five brick houses. The courtyard in the middle was covered with blue bricks and digging drains around it. Not only was it solid, it was also quite clean and tidy.

For those who are used to living in thatched huts and huts, being able to live in such a house is considered the ultimate dream. When Shen Yong and others first arrived at the hundred-household community, their treatment was much better than in the city. They received four liters of grain every day, just like the trained flag army, and the whole family could barely eat enough.

After Yanchi left the city, they dug a new Yanchi and built various construction sites. The status of craftsmen has increased. Now the status of masters such as Chen De and Shen Yong is equivalent to that of flag captains, and they can receive four taels of silver and two stones of grain every month.

Not only is it not that no one is jealous or opposed to the high treatment of craftsmen, but these opinions were suppressed by Min Yuanqi.
