Riding the Pheonix Chapter 328: Useful

The **** night passed in such chaos.

When the herdsmen and contract workers were released the next day, what they saw was the grass stained red with blood, the **** corpses, and the bandits tied there waiting to be dealt with.

After the initial shock, I found that the generals were still talking to each other as if no one was watching, and everything was the same as before, so I slowly calmed down.

The corpse will naturally be burned and buried. Summer is here. Once it starts to rot, it will be a big problem.

The grass must also be cleaned, as those blood stains will attract flies.

As for those living bandits, it is within the scope of the generals to deal with them. Only after everything was explained and his face was branded, was he allowed to untie himself and go to the packed stable to rest.

The young master said that they can rest for two days to recuperate before starting to work again.

The generals said, where can they find such a magnanimous master? If you still refuse to repent, are you worthy of the opportunity God has given you?

Ning Xiu came back and saw this scene.

Although the others left, they kept an eye on this area. When they got the news, they rushed back immediately.

The journey was dusty and we returned to the racecourse at noon. After taking off his boots and entering the house, he saw a sleepy Yang Shu, who was cleaning his face and brushing his teeth.

"Morning!" Yang Shu greeted vaguely.

Ning Xiu thought about how worried he had been all the way, and suddenly had the urge to smash the piano on his head.

"Good morning, sir." Mingwei also came out and turned to ask Duofu, "What's for lunch?"

"There are freshly caught shrimps today." Duofu said happily, "We can braise them, boil them, bake them with salt... or make shrimp paste and shrimp balls."

"Fried shrimp balls." Mingwei thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Duofu went to the kitchen.

Ning Xiu almost thought he was dreaming. He didn't go out at all. There was no smell of blood in front of the door. What the contract workers were burying were not corpses, let alone the living robbers!

You have killed so many people, yet everyone is so calm? He, a man who was accustomed to killing people, felt like vomiting when he smelled the blood.

He felt that he might need to take a lesson to prevent his good little junior brother from turning into a murderous demon.

However, before he could speak, Mingwei had already said: "Sir, since you are back, why don't you make a trip to the village?"

Ning Xiu frowned and asked: "What village?"

"Those robbers' strongholds!" she said, "I always feel uneasy letting others go. This group of robbers has robbed a lot of money, what if they lose their minds?"

Yang Shu said: "Senior brother has just come back, how can we ask him to go? I'd better go there myself! That money is the capital for our development."

Mingwei thought: "It makes sense."

"No!" Ning Xiu said two words calmly, "I'll go!"

You've already killed people without blinking an eye, but you can't see Qian Yan again.

So, he went back to his house to wash up and change clothes. He didn't even eat, so he packed up the dry food and set off with his people.

Yang Shu, who was eating, looked at his retreating back and asked the person next to him: "Is this okay? Looking at him like this, he rushed back early in the morning."

Mingwei picked up fried shrimp **** and said, "It's okay. For a master like him, not sleeping for a few days is nothing."

Yang Shu thought for a while: "That's good."

After asking this question, he could eat without any psychological burden.

……

After eating and drinking, the two entered the small dark room.

Jiang Hou was grumbling with hunger. When he saw them coming in, he quickly saluted: "I've seen you, young master."

Yang Shu waved his hand and asked: "What is your real name?"

Dajiang Hou struggled for a moment, caught Mingwei's eyes, and answered obediently: "Hou Liang..."

He sneered: "Whatever is missing, I will make up for it..."

What this Master Hou lacks most is conscience?

Hou Liang rubbed his hands and laughed.

Anyway, if you lose your integrity once, it won’t be difficult to lose it again.

Yang Shu stopped laughing and said calmly: "It's okay to keep you alive. But I don't want to keep useless people. Those people outside can move bricks, so tell me what you can do!" ”

Before Hou Liang could answer, he reminded him: "Don't talk about supervising the construction of the house. There are already drawings. As long as you find someone who knows how to do it, you can still build it beautifully."

Hou Liangton replied what he was about to say, glanced at him quickly, and then looked at Mingwei cautiously, his mind working rapidly, thinking about what kind of answer they wanted.

When it comes to mystical skills, he is completely incomparable to this Ming girl. When it came to supervising the construction work, the young master clearly rejected it again. So what else is he good at? In the den of robbers, he is responsible for coming up with ideas...

Huh? An idea?

Hou Liang thought carefully about the news he heard from the county magistrate Feng Yi, plus what he had seen these days. He quickly found an important point and tentatively spoke: "I heard from the county magistrate, Mr. Because I offended the Holy Emperor, I was demoted to this place. I think I will return to Beijing sooner or later."

Yang Shu nodded casually. I thought, if this Hou Liang can't say anything useful, he will be used as a supervisor in the future. His character is really not good, and if he is not smart enough, he is not qualified to be reused at all. ~IndoMTL.com~ Hou Liang had been paying careful attention to his expression. Seeing that he was absent-minded, he guessed that the point was not here. After thinking about it for a while, he said something that he had been wondering about for a long time.

"... However, I discovered that the house the young master wants to build is not only a fort, but also a small city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Doesn't the young master have no plans to return to Beijing soon?"

Seeing that Yang Shu's expression became more formal, Hou Liang breathed out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Great, he guessed it right!

"What else?" Yang Shu looked at him with a smile.

After finding the right direction, it would not be difficult for Hou Liang to speak out later.

He said with a smile: "If the young master will not leave for a while, he wants to develop this small town. In the past two months, the young master has made Gaotang much more prosperous than before. However, in the northwest, just by building a city, , no matter how prosperous it is, it is limited. Although the young man was dismissed from his position, he still worked hard at the beginning. He knows a thing or two about governance, and he can share the worries of the young master."

"Oh?" Yang Shu smiled half-heartedly, "How do you want to share your worries?"

Hou Liang thought that the young master came from a family of generals, and there were many brave generals around him. There is also Mr. Ning and Miss Ming. They are Xuanshi. Although they have powerful methods, they are absolutely inferior to him in handling affairs.

He spoke confidently: "The so-called prosperity, to put it bluntly, is driven by wealth. As for quickly accumulating wealth, Xiao Xiao has two strategies. One is to wipe out the bandits on Yanshan Mountain and seize the ill-gotten gains. For your own use. Secondly, you can easily earn a lot of wealth by doing business with the barbarians."

Yang Shu's face sank: "Forget the first one. Do you know that doing business with barbarians is against national policy?"

The northwest is in turmoil, and the imperial court has long ordered a ban on the market. ...
