Chapter 67 Advance Planning
这第三次去清平县,刘大路可比前两次考虑得更多.
First of all, the fort protection team has to go this time. The fort protection team has a total of 300 people. Tiewei sent fifty people over a few days ago. This time, Liu Dalu would ask Tiewei to lead the team in person and lead 150 fort protection teams over. The total number is 200 people, and there will be 100 people left in Tiejiabao.
Almost all the Sanbai Fort Protection Team have seen blood, among which the Tie family accounts for most of them, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong. At least there is no problem in dealing with those rangers with a bunch of loose sand.
In addition to the fort protection team, Liu Dalu also asked Tie Ling and Quangang to pick thirty people from the group of Qingping County people whom they followed first, and would follow the Dragon King to Qingping County. These thirty people were not going to fight, but after the Dragon King pacified Qingping County, they asked these people to promote the name of Dragon King's kindness and gather the hearts of the people.
Then Wang Yong also said he wanted to go, he wanted to cook food for Master Dragon King, and Tie Datou also wanted to go, and he had to be responsible for running errands for Master Dragon King. Then Tie Yong, who used to be a member of the Fort Protection Team, and he was close to the Dragon King, so he must also go.
In this way, more than 180 people, plus Dragon King Liu Dalu, a group of people set out towards Qingping County in a mighty manner.
No one would doubt whether those outsiders could be driven out of Qingping County. Everyone was considering more about where the Qingping County people should go in the future, whether they should stay in the county town, or move to Tiejiabao collectively, or move the Tiejiabao people to the county town? Regarding this, Tiewei, Tieyong, and Tieling are very concerned about this.
Tie Ling asked: "Dragon King, will the people of Qingping County also move to Tiejiabao?"
"Of course not." Liu Dalu shook his head: "My consideration is that people in Qingping County don't need to move, because I am going to build Qingping County into an external window and be responsible for public opinion propaganda about me."
Although everyone is already familiar with some fresh words that appear from the Dragon King from time to time, what is the 'external window, public opinion propaganda'?
"To put it simply, before you get familiar with me, are you afraid of me? Although I am the Dragon King, everyone will think I am a monster."
Everyone nodded, and everyone had a deep understanding of this.
The people of Tiejiabao are actually the luckiest. When they first met Liu Dalu, his size was not so huge. As his size became bigger, the deterrent power brought was even more terrifying. The child stopped crying? That was nothing at all. It was probably common to scare people to death.
"So, in order to prevent everyone from being so scared and misunderstood that I want to eat people, the existence of Qingping County is very necessary."
"Dragon King, what you mean is to let Qingping County people stay here. If outsiders come to Qingping County, these people will be responsible for telling those outsiders that the Dragon King is not a monster and the Dragon King will not eat people?"
"As long as Qingping County is developed, everyone will have enough food and clothing, and some rumors will be broken without breaking them. Therefore, there is no need to say it with your mouth and prove it more useful with facts."
"The Dragon King was thinking about Zhou Yuan, kindness, and virtue, and Quan Gang was impressed."
Liu Dalu looked at Quan Gang in front of him and pondered for a moment, "Quan Gang, I will definitely stay in Tiejiabao in the future. I will only come to the county town from time to time. Didn't you say you want to be an official? Do you want to take care of L County Town?"
Quan Gang was stunned at first, and then his face flushed uncontrollably. He was excited. He never thought that happiness would come so suddenly. Managing a county town? Do you want to be a county? Of course Quan Gang wanted to.
After a while, Quan Gang finally came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Dragon King, students are willing to do it, and students are willing to share the worries of the Dragon King."
"Okay, but I have to say a few points first. I have plans for the county town."
"Let me speak with Dragon King."
"Do you know the geographical location of Qingping County?"
"The students really don't understand this."
"Oh, then let me talk to you carefully. Qingping County can be called surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the county town as the center, Tiejiabao to the east, and there are mountains in the southeast and northeast directions. Behind the mountain is the sea. In terms of geographical location, it is extremely superior and can be called the rear."
Quan Gang nodded suddenly.
"Now the population of Qingping County is too small, and no one is farming in such a large place, so what I think is that this year, let the people in the county town and the people of Tiejiabao cultivate together, turning this large area of wilderness into fertile fields."
Quan Gang thought for a while and said, "Dragon King, it may be inconvenient to get in such a big place? Oh, the student understands that as long as cement roads are paved, this can be done."
"That's right." Liu Dalu nodded in praise: "If all food is planted in such a big place, let alone three to five thousand people, even 30,000 to 50,000 people can support it."
"Dragon King, students probably won't do this year. Although cement roads are magical objects, they can't do it in a short time if they want to pave all this into cement roads. Now Qingping County is still too small."
"If you can't do this this year, next year, I'm not in a hurry." Liu Dalu smiled and said: "Also, in addition to growing grain, you can also plant grapes. Planting grapes on the edge of the field stems will not affect the grain harvest, but also cultivate soil. And most importantly, green development."
"Did the Dragon King mean luminous grapes?"
"Yes, luminous grapes are of great value and can be regarded as a pillar industry in Qingping County in the future. And I think luminous grapes can play a great role in promoting the reputation of the Dragon King."
"Wine?" Quan Gang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, wine, you should be a good wine person, right? Have you ever drunk wine?"
"Students also like to pour a few glasses of wine, but they don't drink much wine, and this wine is very expensive."
Since Zhang Qian went to the frontier, wine has become a standard for upper class people. In this era, winemaking technology was not developed enough and the grain output was not high, so wine was not affordable to poor people, especially wine.
Quan Gang was sure that once Qingping County planted grapes and then brewed wine, all kinds of merchants would definitely flock to him. Quan Gang initially understood what the Dragon King said, "external window, public opinion propaganda". Through the mouth of merchants, people would not misunderstand that the Dragon King would eat people.
Then Quan Gang thought of something again: "Dragon King, the rear is cultivated and fertile fields are planted, and there is also a large wasteland in front of the county town."
"Didn't you say that Qingping County has too few people, and the front borders several counties, and wars should come soon, so keep the land ahead for now, but you have to remember that you have to pave the cement roads there in the future, so don't plant grapes and make wine. Because of road reasons, merchants refuse to come, that would be too bad."
"Is it war?" When everyone mentioned this word, they felt a little heavy. During this period, everyone subconsciously ignored the existence of the government, but it was obvious that it was impossible for the imperial court to remain indifferent. There should be an army coming soon, and there may be fierce battles at that time.
"What are you worried about?" Liu Dalu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm in everything."
