Seeing Guo Zhiyuan appearing with bandits, the people were cheering like thunder. Some people even knelt on the ground excitedly and kept shouting the great master of the sky. The gentry rushed forward, such as "Zhuge is alive", "heroes of the world", "light of the ancient fields", etc., Guo Zhiyuan enjoyed this feeling of being a hero, but he did not take it over and was humbly polite with the gentry. When the people kneeling on the ground, they would come forward to help the people up and comfort them with approachable words. This made Guo Zhiyuan's image in the hearts of the people became taller.

However, no one can do everything. Chen Huaili felt that he, the largest landlord in Gutian County, was a little neglected. He curled his lips and said sarcastically: "Our County Magistrate Guo is really good at winning people's hearts!" After that, he took a few squires who were close to him.

However, Sun Chuan has been following Guo Zhiyuan back to the county government. He is now in the honeymoon period of cooperation with Guo Zhiyuan, so he will naturally not be arrogant anymore. He has tasted the sweetness of his cooperation with Guo Zhiyuan. This time, the bandit suppression has also made great efforts. Not only did he send eighty servants, but he did the more than ten four-wheeled carriages and 20 horses. So the question he is most concerned about now is when the road construction business that Guo Zhiyuan mentioned will start.

The other gentry seemed to be a little afraid of Sun Chuan, so they all said goodbye in advance. As soon as Sun Chuan sat down, he couldn't wait to be excited: "Mr. Guo, your battle has basically destroyed the two largest forces in Gutian County. Except for the remaining poison king bees, other small bandit forces are not worth worrying. In addition, the power of the great victory will definitely make other bandit forces frightened. They will never dare to be as rampant as before. The road construction business you mentioned before should be able to start?!..."

Guo Zhiyuan was secretly funny when he saw Sun Chuan's anxious look, but in fact, he hoped to start his own road construction plan earlier. If you want to be rich, you should first build roads. Making money is secondly. Only by circulation of commercial roads can the prosperity of Gutian. More importantly, road construction can also solve the employment problem. One of the important reasons why Gutian has so many bandits is that Gutian is mostly mountainous, with very few fertile lands, and fertile land is basically occupied by landlords and gentry. It is impossible for ordinary people to have it. The mountain produces little food and cannot support the family at all. Therefore, many ordinary people are desperate to become bandits. Only by solving the employment problems of ordinary people through road construction can it be considered that the foundation for the growth of bandits from the root, and at the same time, it can also stimulate domestic demand, thereby pushing Gutian into a virtuous cycle of rapid development!

So Guo Zhiyuan did not take Sun Chuan anymore and nodded, "The time to implement the road construction plan is indeed ripe. When things go here, I will go to the prefect's office. After all, we will set up a card fee in the future. If there is no approval from the prefect's office, someone will definitely complain. Mr. Sun can also prepare and purchase grain from other places in batches through your carriage and horse store to hoard it. In the future, we will recruit a large number of civilians to build roads. It is not okay to have no grain!..."

Sun Chuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Sir, I have made perfect plans and thought it through. After I go back, I will start preparing to avoid those unscrupulous grain merchants from raising the price of grain at that time..."

On the third day, Zhang Cheng sent a spy who was sent to sneak into the bandit's nest and heard good news again. After the bandits defeated the Rattlesnake's hamlet, a fire broke out that night. The Lanshan Leopard accused the Rattlesnake of not listening to his advice and being ambushed, resulting in this disastrous defeat. The Rattlesnake accused the Rattles of his men of fleeing before the battle, which led to a morale collapse. The two became more and more fierce. In addition, the spys who were mixed in the crowd took the opportunity to fan the flames and deliberately quarreled with the bandits on the Rattlesnake's side, and then started to fight first, and the two sides fought!

Originally, the Rattlesnake had an absolute advantage in the battle, but because the bandits on the side of the Zombie Leopard ran away first in this battle, the bandits on his side suffered heavy losses and finally escaped more than one hundred people, so the gap between the troops on the two sides was not that big. The bandits on the Zombie Leopard's combat power was stronger than the bandits on the Zombie Leopard, so no one got any advantage in the fight. Finally, the bandits on the Zombie Leopard set fire to the bandits of the Rattlesnake, and both sides were damaged. The Zombie Leopard and the Rattlesnake each took some of their confidants and ran away. The spies sent by Zhang Cheng took advantage of the chaos and joined other bandit forces to continue lurking.

Guo Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this good news. He didn't expect that his sand-blending plan would have effect so soon. Now it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. The bandit forces of the mountain leopard and the rattlesnake have collapsed. Other small bandit forces basically do not pose a threat. The only thing that can be considered is the bandit forces of one Poison King Bee. This Poison King Bee is relatively mysterious. There is not much intelligence information about her at present. However, Guo Zhiyuan's direct troops have reached more than 800 people. In addition, the Sun family has an advantage in taking the bandit forces of the Poison King Bee head-on, so there should be no big problem!

The intelligence department has just been established and made successive contributions, which made Guo Zhiyuan feel that his decision was too correct. He patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Zhang Cheng, your intelligence department is doing a good job! I am going to go to Fuzhou City recently. Choose a few people to go with me and build the Fuzhou intelligence station first. You can do it with confidence and boldness, and you can take a bigger step!"

At this time, Chu Wan'er suddenly rushed in in a hurry and said angrily at Guo Zhiyuan, "Do you care about it?"

Guo Zhiyuan said inexplicably: "What should I care about? Can you explain it clearly!"

"The poor women I brought back from the bandit hamlet! Another poor woman was going to hang herself just now. Fortunately, she found out that she was rescued in time!..." Chu Wan'er shouted.

It turned out to be this problem! Guo Zhiyuan patted his forehead with a headache. This problem has troubled him for a long time. Someone also gave Guo Zhiyuan an idea, saying that he might assign these women to the barbarian village soldiers. This would win over the village soldiers and increase the population. However, Guo Zhiyuan is a modern-day educated person after all, and he could not simply regard these women as fertility machines like people of this era. So what is the difference between him and bandits?

So Guo Zhiyuan did not agree to this proposal, but it was not enough to raise these women like this. There were already rumors outside, saying that Guo Zhiyuan was preparing to take care of the palace. He thought for a while and said, "In this way, you ask them to choose a few representatives, I will talk to them and see what their specialties are so that I can arrange things for them..."
