Chapter 449
"This mountain road is so hard to walk on, it looks like a big road needs to be built out. " exclaimed Li Linfei.
Guo Jia was startled at his words, building a road! That's a big project! It's not economical to build it in the mountains!
"My lord, building a road requires a lot of manpower and resources, and many of the mountain Yue people are rebelling because they can't stand the taxation, if we increase the taxation, I'm afraid more people will rebel."
Li Linfei nodded: "What if I were to personally fund it! There are many useful ores in the mountains, and if we employ the mountain people to dig the mines, their living conditions will be better."
He Qi almost stumbled in shock, after he went back yesterday he had calculated how much money Li Linfei had spent on the land, it was an astronomical amount! He thought he had spent almost all his savings, but he didn't expect to have so much more! Not bad for a top family!
Guo Jia nodded, strategically speaking, building a few more roads, so that in the future, Yamakoshi could find them even if he hid in the mountains! And this provided work for the mountain people, with money and food to earn, who would want to rebel?
So he gave a small pat on the back: "Your lordship is wise."
......
The group soon found another group of Shan Yue people, this tribe is much larger than the previous one, there are also thousands of people, they saw the official soldiers came to siege is also stunned, but they did not panic, after all, their own numbers are not less than the other side, although the equipment gap, but still no problem to resist the fortress and defend.
Li Linfei rode his white dragon horse. I am Li Yun and Li Linfei, the Imperial Guard of Huiji, dare you fight!"
Everyone was stunned, was this little white guy the new Huiji Generalissimo? Or is he here to call for a fight? You don't even have a full set of equipment? Where is your armour? Where's your armour?
How could the emperor send such an unreliable man to be the governor? Are you sick in the head too?
When the leader of this group saw Li Linfei's appearance and heard him reveal his identity, his eyes lit up! What a great governor! If they could capture him alive, they would be able to win this time!
I have to admit that Li Linfei is very good at pretending to be a tiger! He was a weakling who looked like a gentleman, but he didn't have strong martial arts skills, and he didn't wear armour in battle. After thinking about it, the leader gave up the idea of defending his fortress to the death and directly gathered his troops to meet the enemy.
"Those who come have the same name. I do not kill nameless people." Li Linfei shouted with an air of douchebaggery.
In fact, he didn't care at all what his opponent's name was, he could always find out if he needed to know.
"A certain Shi Shu." Shi Shi smiled at that, still a damn fool, and didn't care about Li Linfei's words, now Li Linfei was a fat sheep in his eyes, catching him could be exchanged for a lot of money and food.
He Qi was behind Li Linfei as if he had already seen that Shi Qi was going to have a tragedy, this one was not much better than the one before!
Li Linfei was able to kill Wang Sledgehammer with ease, so this Shi Shu was no match for him, and today was the day he would die.
If Shi would have refused to follow the fortress, they would have had to spend some time, but now! He was ready for his men to take over this group of Shan Yue people!
At this moment, he guessed why Li Linfei had come without his armour, he had come to eat a tiger by pretending to be a pig, and it was all an illusion. The governor is wise!
Li Linfei didn't disappoint He Qi, when he saw Shi Qi galloping forward, the white dragon horse turned into a shadow and came to Shi Qi in a flash, with a stab of the curved moon spear, the spear head pierced into the opponent's chest, and then Shi Qi died.
"Shi Shu, what a characterful name, Dead Period.
The mountain folk were shocked! Their boss, Shi Shu, was just like that, destroyed, this was the most capable fighter among them! Otherwise they wouldn't have followed him! It takes strength to get to the top too!
Before they could react, He Qi had already commanded the officers and soldiers to surround them, and how could the mountain people who had lost their leader be a match for them?
After Li Linfei and Dian Wei had killed a few recalcitrants, another wave of young men entered.
There were more people in this cottage and it was more trouble to escort them, so Li Linfei decided to take them back with him, and there were two more waves of small forces on the way, so he rounded up some of them and went into the city to rest.
"My lord? Don't you need to send someone to scout the way with your army?" After walking for a while longer, Guo Jia asked weakly.
He was curious about this question, the lord seemed to know where all these Shan Yue people were hiding, had he scouted them before?
It didn't seem right, they had moved around a lot to prevent reprisals from the court! And if there was a massive ambush on the way, it would be the end.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Guo Jia nodded his head, it seems that this thing will not be learned by himself, whether it is true or not, looking at Li Linfei's attitude he knows that even if there is a method he will not tell him.
Chapter 450
Soon they came to another small mountain fortress with about a few dozen stalwarts inside.
Seeing that so many mountain people had been arrested by the government soldiers, the people in the fortress refused to fight at the gate, even when Li Linfei went out to challenge them! This made Li Linfei, who had tried and failed, depressed, it seemed that escorting this group of mountain people to smash the mountain gate would not work.
Then he said to Deng Wei who was beside him, "Evil come."
"Present!" Deng Wei was excited, finally it was his turn to fight, before it was all the Lord's turn to fight at the head and he didn't even get to kill them, now they wouldn't come out, the Lord was asking me, Old Deng, to kill them in!
"Smash open that broken door! Then you know it!" Li Linfei said as he pointed to the fortress door!
"Here!" Deng Wei was happy, I'm going to kill him! He drove his horse and raised his halberd and headed for the fortress.
Li Linfei looked at his back and his face twitched, he could clearly feel that the horse could not be lifted, Old Deng was too heavy!
He Qi commanded his soldiers and horses to go in and capture the men the moment they broke through the gate! That's right, capture! They weren't fighting anymore, they were plundering the population!
The mountain men panicked as soon as they saw Deng Wei coming their way! With such a tall body, there was no telling how strong he would be! Successive arrows were fired at him, and Deng Wei kept swinging his twin halberds, deflecting all the flying arrows.
By the time he reached the gate, he raised his twin halberds and smashed them, and with a loud bang, the gate fell down and everyone was shocked! Was this still a man!
When He Qi saw that Deng Wei had broken through the gates with one halberd, he hastily commanded his soldiers to kill and arrest the men.
The hill people who had been captured before had lost their rebellion when they saw how brave Deng Wei looked. Their boss Shi Shi had been killed by this Lord Taishou with a single shot, and now his bodyguard was such a fierce man, what else could they do to resist?
The mountain people still worship the strong! As long as Li Linfei fed them and gave them accommodation, what else could they do to resist!
Who is it not to hang around with here? Most of them had come up to the mountains only because they had lost their land.
Deng Wei killed his way into the fortress as if no one was there and soon finished off those who looked like leaders, killed some more who dared to resist and soon had all these mountain people under control.
Guo Jia was at the side, but he thought that Li Lin Fei might use some kind of trick to attack the fortress, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and violent, letting Dian Wei. He had never thought it would be so simple and violent as to let Deng Wei go up and break down the door.
I don't think I've gotten anything today! I don't know if he's here for a spring break! I don't think so. It seems so, so Guo Jia took out his bottle and took a sip of wine! What's the point of thinking so much? It's better to drink.
The happy Deng Wei rode back to Li Linfei on his poor horse's ass, shaking and shaking.
Li Linfei redeemed a bottle of Old White Dry from the system and gave it to him, but he didn't dare to ask for it as he had to protect Li Linfei after all.
Not to mention! After the fight drinking is really comfortable!
"Evil Lai just broke the door with that good shot." Li Linfei complimented.
"Hey, but I'm only strong, I can't compare to you, my lord." Said 典韦 nervously, his admiration for 李林飞 was real. :.
"There's nothing wrong with being strong, at least I can't match your strength." Li Linfei said.
By now He Qi had almost collected the mountain people and was ready to go back on the road again.
He Qi had come along this time to wrap things up, but he was also happy to be in the middle of it, only two people had died and a dozen had been wounded so far, the battle was still a success, just nothing for him.
The army burned and plundered, no, besieged the Shan Yue all the way, and returned to Shan Yin City before dark, bringing back a lot of supplies.
This shocked the big families in the city who were waiting to see what was going on.
Looking at the population they had a greedy look in their eyes, these were all slave material, but when they rushed to the Imperial Guard's residence to ask Xi Zhicai if they could buy some slaves back, they were depressed!
It turned out that all these Shan Yue people had to be registered and all became ordinary citizens, treated like Han Chinese. Moreover, Li Linfei's large amount of land was rented to them at low prices, which gave them peace of mind.
At the same time, Li Linfei adopted the practice of providing a large number of jobs in lieu of food for work! Houses had to be built, cities had to be expanded, roads had to be constructed!
As long as there were people, Li Linfei would give jobs! And there was a lot of money and food, an adult man could basically earn enough food for three people for a day's work, and an adult woman could earn two people's share, which made everyone's heart flutter.
Those big families were also shocked by Song Yichen's generosity! Damn you! So rich! This is too deep, right? They would not doubt Li Linfei's words in the slightest now. Because they had only agreed yesterday, and someone had delivered the money that night to complete the deal!
They were thinking about how they should work with Li Linfei to make money, and as for working against him, they didn't even dare to think about it now.
For one thing, Li Linfei had done them no wrong, and they were still making money from the sale of the fields. For another, hadn't they seen that they had gone out to besiege the Shan Yue today and captured so many people and returned with no casualties?
Li Linfei must have had something up his sleeve! At least that big black tower beside him is no ordinary man!
