The five people who died in battle were not only responsible for organizing the funeral, but also paid funeral money, and some fragmented names. Therefore, the county also spent a lot of money. The five people actually spent more than a hundred taels of silver and placed it in a small place like Dengzhou. This was definitely a big deal.

Just compared with Liu Peng's big move, the county will not forget anything at all.

Liu Peng didn't like the county that made famous flowers and made many flower heads, but he was just a simple matter. The five heroes who died in battle each gave 100 taels of silver, and 500 taels of silver were spent directly like cabbage.

That's right, each person paid 100 taels of silver. At that time, even Jiang Qingyue, who was in charge of the patrol team, thought Liu Peng was too generous. That was 100 taels of silver. Normally, how many years would it take for them to save this money!

How valuable is two hundred taels of silver? It is only six or seven taels of silver to buy a good horse in the East Three Mansions. One hundred taels of silver can almost buy twenty horses. For a small place in Dengzhou, it can be said to be astronomical.

But Liu Peng answered very simply: "Isn't my life worth a thousand taels of silver?"

This sentence made Jiang Qingyue and Gu Mengyu say nothing and just pulled out five hundred taels of silver.

But five hundred taels of silver is really a big figure. Fortunately, there are several money coming from Longkou. Even after taking out the five hundred taels of silver, Gu Mengyu still has a lot of spare money in her hands.

However, the effect of this hundred taels of silver was unexpectedly good. Some people in the local forces in Huangshan Pavilion were originally a little distracted by the establishment of the Huangshan Pavilion patrol team. As a result, before Liu Peng had sent the money, the township soldiers leader of the Huangshan Pavilion ran to Longkou to ask Liu Peng to incorporate them. Now the patrol teams who went out to patrol were all brave and fearless, and had already caught dozens of thieves.

Now people are asking if the patrol team is still short of people and whether they still need people. As for the members of the patrol team, they are all excited and work very hard. Moreover, the local people also have a lot of praise for Liu Peng's righteous deeds. They all think that Liu Peng is powerful and reliable. Many people are willing to take the initiative to give a period of three months, six months or even longer.

The most direct reaction was that there was a big dispute at the homes of the five deceased. This was not twenty or thirty taels of silver, not fifty or sixty taels of silver, but a whole hundred taels of silver. There were several sets of big houses in the county town, so parents, children, brothers and sisters made a big deal about the hundred taels of silver.

Fortunately, Liu Peng was particularly attentive in this matter. Although he did not come forward in person, he made Jiang Haotian and Shen Bin come forward to calm the scene: "Mr. Liu said that his 100 taels of silver will naturally be used by the warriors' wives and children, and no one else can take away a penny."

Even if Jiang Haotian and Shen Bin came forward, they still had a big fight over the issue of inheritance distribution. Even many clans came forward to bully the orphans and widows, and some even handed over to Liu Peng. However, Liu Peng was particularly arrogant in this matter: "There is something else to talk about, but there is nothing to talk about. No matter whether it should be given or not, they will be left to their wives and children, and outsiders can't even think of taking a penny."

Gu Mengyu fully supports Liu Peng in this matter, but he has not completed the aftermath and there are still many subsequent problems to be dealt with.

But now, Gu Shanhe is another heavy reward to the survivors. Although he did not give a big deal of 100 taels of silver at one time, Liu Peng gave two choices.

One choice is to take away the medicine and rewards of fifty taels of silver at one time. Of course, the other choice is the choice made by Gu Shanhe and others now. Liu Peng only rewards ten taels of silver, plus a house in Longkou.

When Liu Peng heard that they had chosen Longkou's house, he laughed: "You are so optimistic about the prospects of Longkou. You have to figure it out. Penglai Water City will stop banning the sea in the future. The business in Longkou will definitely be much worse than before. You will build houses in Longkou at this time, and the price will definitely drop when the time comes."

Before Gu Shanhe could speak, someone else replied, "Mr. Liu, even if the score is not worth the money, I admit it."

The person who spoke was Nie Yuan. He was one of the eight Tchaifu brought to Longkou by Liu Peng. He was considered an old man in the patrol team. Now he is considering Liu Peng's absolute direct line: "Mr. Liu, I am different from them. What do you say is? You are not afraid of rebelling against the tree flag!"

Nie Yuan said this and Gu Shanhe was a little embarrassed. Although the three brothers who had not arrived today asked for leave for something, the actual meaning was that they only needed the money of snowflakes and did not want this Longkou house. In other words, they were concerned about the further development of the small group Longkou and Liu Peng. Moreover, these three were old brothers brought by Jiang Haotian, and they were newcomers from Long Co-organizers and the patrol team did not join forces.

This is common sense, but it was revealed by Nie Yuan's words, so Gu Shanhe could only cover them up: "They already have a house and a wife and children. It may be a bit difficult for them to move their home to Longkou."

"If you don't force it, Mr. Liu will definitely not force them. This is something you want to do!" Gu Mengyu said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu came to everyone today to discuss with you how to build this house?"

Building a house is a big deal, and if you really want to build a good house, forty taels of silver other than ten taels of silver is not enough. Naturally, everyone has their own opinions. For a moment, Nie Yuan was particularly sensible. He asked, "Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

"I don't have any opinion. I will do my best to do it for you. There is only one requirement!" Liu Peng replied immediately: "When you build a house, you have to use the sea sand from our Longkou, and you can't use a grain of sand outside!"

The most fatal threat to any port is silt. Although Longkou is a natural good harbor, it is due to mud and sand silt for a long time. It was not until Liu Peng took the lead in building a pier and a wharf that Longkou could be truly developed.

However, mud and sand silt is still a fatal threat to Longkou. In the early Qing Dynasty, Longkou once became an extremely important port in Shandong, but soon it had to become a small fishing port due to mud and sand silt, and it was not fully developed until the late Qing Dynasty.

As for other ports in Shandong, they are always silted by mud and sand. For example, the reason why many merchant ships gave up Penglai Water City and came to Longkou trade is that Penglai Port has been extremely silted since the early Ming Dynasty. Although there have been several cleanings, it is extremely inconvenient for merchant ships to enter the port.

Therefore, as soon as Longkou opened the port, Liu Peng placed the dredging issue in an extremely important position, and even organized several small boats to clean up the silt. Although it was only a drop in the power of nature, everyone could see from Liu Peng's action that Liu Peng, the young master Liu was planning to operate Longkou as a century-old plan.

Therefore, Nie Yuan was particularly interested. He immediately said, "Liu Xiao has the final say in this matter. Let us ask our brothers to go out and talk about the craftsmen who have the house. In the future, we will use sea sand and not river sand in Longkou."

Speaking of the entire Longkou Port house, it is actually a drop in the bucket, but this is a long-term business attitude. When Nie Yuan said this, everyone present was excited, and Gu Mengyu also said: "Everyone think of a solution to the materials themselves. I will solve the problem of craftsmen and craftsmen for everyone."

Now there are at least five or six construction teams in Longkou. If Li Minghai had not been the construction manager, more teams might have come to Longkou to grab food. After all, Longkou is in the stage of comprehensive development. It can be said that the most important construction business in Dengzhou Prefecture is here, and you can make money every day when you come in.

Just like Wen Qiu's wife's brother-in-law who only had to be qualified to eat in Longkou after Liu Peng's way. Moreover, after his team entered Longkou, he was lenient in all kinds of big and small things. Wen Qiu's wife's brother-in-law quickly hit a golden chain thicker than the big finger in his hand, and the number of people in his hand was twice as high.

Since everyone made a lot of money in Longkou, Gu Mengyu would not make things difficult for them. He just told them about Liu Peng's difficulties and agreed immediately. Although the materials were provided by the owner, they were responsible for providing the craftsmen of these fifteen houses, so they only hope that Longkou will still maintain the existing market structure in the future.

But Gu Mengyu felt that there was no such cheap thing. Longkou would have to buy at least a thousand large houses and warehouses in the future. How could this money be made by all five or six families? Although she could not end up in person, she had to introduce one or two new teams to activate the market.

It is precisely based on this consideration that she only has 100 craftsmen and 100 small workers' laborers, and Nie Yuan immediately became excited: "This matter is easy to deal with, as long as there are craftsmen, it is easy to deal with. Small workers are not afraid of not being able to find them. We have the strength!"

Even if the fifteen people present were not with their families, they still had a bunch of relatives and friends. Even if they could not play a guest role in building a house, it would be fine if they could use their strength to help. Of course, when relatives and friends wanted to build a house, Nie Yuan and the others would rush over to help.

After doing this, Nie Yuan felt that his house should be well built: "Young Master Liu, why not take out all the money to buy bricks, tiles and big woods."

Liu Peng laughed and scolded: "You can solve the daily snacks, wine and meat?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Although they came to do nothing for the sake of Gu Mengyu and her relatives and friends, they didn't even want a penny, but this did not mean that they had to work hungry every day, at least two or three snacks a day, and they also had to have wine and meat. Only after they had enough food could they work hard.
