Chapter 165
Chapter 165
As the land reclamation continued, Liu Yu started to build a new city.
The new problem brought about by the population explosion was that the original city could no longer accommodate so many people.
Moreover, the original city walls were all made of earth, which was fine for resisting ordinary bandits.
If facing a more professional army, there is still a way to crack it.
The previous brick kiln has been in production.
The accumulated bricks have been piled up like a hill.
The mountains and plains are full of bricks that have been fired for a long time.
Liu Yu ordered the people to transport the larger wall bricks to the county town.
Planning the area, dealing with weeds and trees, and leveling the land, all work is proceeding in an orderly manner.
With the experience of building the city before.
The craftsmen of Tanghai County dispersed and led different numbers of people to carry out various tasks.
With the blessing of Liu Yu's strengthening aura, they worked very fast.
The new people in the land reclamation were divided into two halves, and one half was pulled back here to level the land.
When the people heard that the new city was to be built for them, they were all very happy.
Build a new city, build a new house.
Such a catchy saying spread quickly among the people like wings.
Everyone is fantasizing about a better life in the future.
Have a house to live in and food to eat.
Just like the people in Tanghai County now.
It is estimated that the people in Luoyang must be drooling with envy for such a life.
…
In the wilderness, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang led the team and returned with a full load.
Even though the two had been away from the grassland for a long time, they could not wake up from the great joy.
This time, the business can be said to have made a lot of money.
With Liu Yu's advice, they created a lot of things on the grassland.
"I didn't expect that the method of Liu Zhuangzhu was really useful." Riding on a tall horse, Zhang Shiping, who was very proud, bought such a good BMW for the first time.
In the past, they couldn't imagine this.
It was also the nomadic peoples on the grasslands who never sold it to other people.
Especially not to the Han people.
But this time, everything changed.
Su Shuang smiled and said, "The men on the grasslands compare themselves to eagles, but didn't they still fall under the sugar-coated arrows that Liu Zhuangzhu mentioned?"
"Yes!" Zhang Shiping glanced at the cattle and sheep they brought back.
That was an unprecedented number.
"The various methods Liu Zhuangzhu told me are really useful."
"When we see him, we must tell him about what we did on the grasslands."
"I will definitely make him admire us."
The two were full of confidence, held their heads high, and ordered the mighty team to speed up again.
They were about to arrive at Youbeiping County, and they felt like they were going home.
"Huh?"
Before they arrived at Tiezhuang, they saw a mighty team reclaiming wasteland in the wilderness.
"Is Tiezhuang opening up new land?"
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang looked at each other and saw the obvious surprise on each other's faces.
"Could it be..." Zhang Shiping shuddered and said, "Could it be that the owner Liu has brought back many new refugees?"
"It is very likely." Su Shuang nodded: "Look at the people in the wilderness, they don't look like the original people in Tiezhuang."
"Their faces are not rosy at all, which means they haven't had a full meal for a few days."
Zhang Shiping looked at the people who were working hard in the wilderness by the roadside, and their faces were indeed like that.
"The owner Liu must have a great reputation to attract so many people to join."
Su Shuang shook his head: "These days, food is more real than any reputation."
"As long as there is food to eat, those refugees will bite to death even if they face ghosts and gods."
"In order to eat food, they will not hesitate to lose their heads and die."
The two led a mighty team through the wilderness.
However, none of the working people were curious.
Just like a scholar who doesn't know what's happening outside, he just works hard.
He swung the farm tools in his hands vigorously.
Although Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang had seen this scene before, they couldn't help but admire it again.
They also have farms under their command. When will the tenants in them work like this?
Boom!
The ground shook slightly, and in a short time, a group of cavalry came galloping from Tiezhuang in the distance.
"It turned out to be you two!" Zhang Fei's figure had not yet come close, and his thick voice had already flown.
"Is there a new leader in Tiezhuang?" Zhang Shiping stopped his horse and looked.
Not only the familiar Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci, but also two new faces.
A young man with a gun, and an equally young man with an axe.
The status of the two is actually the same as the powerful Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Let ZhangShiping was very surprised.
I don’t know what ability those two young men have to make the owner of Tiezhuang Liu pay so much attention to them.
“Yunchang, Yide, Ziyi brothers!” Zhang Shiping saluted with his fists, “We are returning from doing business in the north.”
“Please take us to see the owner of Liu.”
“You will never see the owner of Liu again.” Zhang Fei said in a rough voice, his face was gloomy.
“What happened?” Zhang Shiping’s heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously: “Could it be that something happened to the owner of Liu?”
Su Shuang frowned, also concerned.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Guan Yu slapped Zhang Fei on the head.
Then he turned to the two merchants and said seriously: “Our Tiezhuang has been promoted to a county town in the official appointment of the court.”
“From now on, there will be no more owners of Tiezhuang, but Tanghai County Magistrate.”
Guan Yu’s upright voice spread across the wilderness, shaking the ears of the two merchants.
“County…magistrate?” Zhang Shiping was stunned.
"He didn't even have the experience of being a county magistrate, but he became a county magistrate directly?"
"Moreover, according to the requirements of the court, one must have more than 10,000 households to be called a county magistrate, right?"
"Could it be..."
He turned his head and looked at the wilderness, and an idea emerged from the bottom of his heart, like a huge stone thrown into the calm water.
Waves arose.
"More than 10,000 households..." Su Shuang smacked his lips: "The development speed of Tiezhuang is amazing!"
"I haven't seen you for a while, and the population has increased so much."
"Master Liu... No, how did County Magistrate Liu do it?"
"How can such a large population be supported?"
All kinds of questions arose in his mind, leaving him puzzled.
"This is not something you can ask!" Zhang Fei roared, "I advise you not to ask too much."
"Otherwise, it is not impossible for someone to put a sack on you and blow your head off in the middle of the night."
Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang shuddered.
The leader of Tiezhuang became the leader of Tanghai County, and his temper also improved.
However, the opponent is indeed capable.
Apart from anything else, the arms as thick as their calves are frightening to look at.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a punch can blow up someone's head.
