Chapter 9 Taking the initiative
Xiao Hao finally calmed down for a long time before his face would not look so ecstatic; then he opened the door.
Xiang'er has been standing at the door for nearly an hour or two, but because she has been walking around, she is not very tired.
"Young Master, it's been an hour since I've been looking for you." Xiang'er quickly spoke when she saw Xiao Hao coming out.
"Bang!" Xiao Hao threw the garbage in his hand on the ground, "Okay, Sister Xiang'er, you can find someone to throw them away and burn them in the kitchen. Also, help me prepare to write things..." As he said that, he said the hard yellow paper, cinnabar, etc.
At this time, a lot of domestic waste can be burned directly, and it is not as polluted as the earth later; many things that we seem to be thrown away are very precious here.
"Okay Young Master." Xiang'er looked at the garbage on the ground in surprise, and her mouth opened slightly: The young master closed the door for an hour, and put it together to sort out the garbage; but how could there be so much garbage in the room?
When Xiao Hao left, Xiang'er smiled and carefully opened Xiao Hao's room door; as a maid, she has taken care of Xiao Hao's life since she was a child. Although Xiao Hao often takes care of this erotic little girl, Xiang'er does have the right to open Xiao Hao's room at any time.
"Wow..." Xiang'er looked inside in surprise. Many things moved slightly, making the room so neat and orderly. She felt like an ordinary person's room before, but now it was a noble room - some things are really something that can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Xiang'er looked around here, but Xiao Hao had already strode to the front hall.
At this moment, the two dragons, Xiao Shilong and Li Yulong, are now at the time of Long You's brief discussion. They sat opposite each other and the tea was already cold. Some people around them were quietly coming in from time to time, probably to explore some information, but after everyone came in, they stood behind and didn't speak, and they already understood the meaning - don't say the information here, everyone was angry when they said it.
"Hello brothers and uncles." Xiao Hao's crisp and bright voice came from afar.
In an instant, Xiao Shilong and Li Yulong both turned their heads excitedly. Once upon a time, the heads of the two families had to pin their hopes on one child.
"Dad, uncle." Xiao Hao walked to the two of them step by step, and the smile on his face had not yet disappeared.
However, along the way, Xiao Hao also understood what kind of ability he had increased and could judge a person's health roughly. For example, health, sub-health, small problems, serious, very serious, and dying six states, each of which was considered a level. In addition, it was possible to roughly distinguish that most of the physical health of some ordinary people were sub-healthy, while those who practice martial arts were basically healthy, and some even had strong qi and blood.
Just look at someone and you can roughly understand the situation.
"Xiaohao, sit down next to my uncle." Li Yulong pulled Xiao Hao over, and there were many empty chairs beside him, so Xiao Hao sat down all of a sudden.
But Li Yulong did not end, "Xiao Haoer, I heard that you were full of joy just now and couldn't hide your joy. What are the happy events? Tell me and share them."
"I have no uncle, but I have made some progress in practicing martial arts. I was angry before, but I actually broke through and had a little strange ability. Let's talk about this later, let's talk about the current situation first."
"Yeah!" Xiao Shilong nodded and looked at Xiao Hao. As for the special abilities that appear after the breakthrough in martial arts practice, it is not surprising here, because martial arts practice is a low-level method of strengthening the body after the weakening of practice, but it is practice in the end. Therefore, it is not surprising that a large number of people have some abilities every year.
However, these abilities are not very exaggerated. Generally speaking, for example, you are strong in the sense of crisis, strong in strength, bright eyes, sensitive nose, sensitive ears, hard skin, particularly loud roars (such as Zhang Fei), sensitive to certain things, ten lines at a glance, etc.
Of course, these abilities don't seem to be very big, but if you use them well, they are also considerable, but they are definitely not that exaggerated. Therefore, the two of them did not pursue Xiao Hao's statement anymore.
"Dad, uncle, I think, since things are already like this, just do it and unify Haizhou!" Xiao Haoyu is not shocking!
"Unify Haizhou!" Xiao Hao's words indeed surprised Xiao Shilong and Li Yulong, and many people around him even looked at Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao suddenly stood up and looked around for a while. Although he was stingy, he was strong. After a while, he knew that there were reliable people around him. Those who could be anxious for everyone at this critical moment, and after being selected by the Xiao family and the Li family, those who were with him at critical moments were definitely reliable.
"Dad, uncle, now many people are watching us jokes, and they are all preparing to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, we will take a step back now, not to have a vast sky, but a cliff!
Since then retreating will inevitably lead to death, it is better to move forward bravely! Taking advantage of the fact that everyone has not reacted now, our two families should be able to capture at least two places. Then with the help of the population from the two places, we should have enough personnel to dig the natural Huangshi River dam in the northwest within one month and irrigate the surrounding fields. This is enough.
Once the food problem of the four towns is solved, we will have enough strength to gain a foothold. When it stabilizes, we will unify Haizhou.
The Dali Wangting Building is about to collapse, and it is time for us to prepare.
Make preparations early, maybe everyone present will have the opportunity to be the best doctor in the future!”
Xiao Hao said as he looked around.
As Xiao Hao finished speaking, all the people around him shone with their eyes. In this world, the nobles are like a mountain pressing on the heads of civilians; but this mountain is another mountain of gold, and everyone wants to go up and eat! Therefore, becoming a noble and a ruler is something that everyone yearns for since they are sensible! This is a more advanced goal than eating and drinking - at least, suitable for them.
This is a social rule that has been formed in this world for tens of thousands of years. Xiao Hao does not feel that he has the ability to correct it in a short time; following the trend is the most clever method.
"Okay! It's made of it!" Li Yulong had a lot of temper. He slapped his thigh and stood up. The chair was pushed behind him and overturned, and the tea on the table was knocked over.
"Tsk tsk..." Xiao Shilong was quick-eyed and grabbed his teacup, kicked the ground with his feet, stepped back three feet, and still sat steadily on the chair. It can be seen that Xiao Shilong is not an honest little businessman either! In fact, if you don't have many unique skills in Haizhou, you will definitely not be able to make a living.
"Little mouse, say, who will we kill first? Also, I think it is safer for our two companies to attack together. As long as we use the thunder to break up the two companies, it is not a problem! This is safer and faster. If you have the chance, you may have a chance to go to another town!
Moreover, even though the villages are dilapidated, if someone colludes with the nobles outside, they might have some tricks. So, it is better to get together to prevent the ship capsized in the gutter!" Li Yulong also has his own opinion on fighting.
"Then let me listen to my uncle." Since it was the suggestion of the "professional" personnel, Xiao Hao did not object, "Dad, uncle, I think we must first take down Hu Xiaozhai. Not far behind Hu Xiaozhai, there is a valley, and the valley is north of Youlongjiang. As long as you dig up Youlongjiang here, it will not only not bring disaster to Haizhou, but will instead make Haizhou a rich lotus pond.
In addition, if we pull out the Hu Xiaozhai, we will be on the back of Youlong River in the north and face the south to defend ourselves; we don’t have to worry about being attacked by the enemy.
After we pull out Hu Xiaozhai, we will turn around and destroy Hu Xiaozhai and Shitang Town along the way, so that our two families can go northeast of Haizhou together.
What remains are the southwest and the south. This is also a place that is closely related to the southern Qingzhou, and it will be a bit difficult to chew and requires long-lasting memory."
Although Haizhou is narrow and long from east to west, due to the mountains and rivers, the places close to Youlongjiang in the north are narrow and small, and open to the south and southwest, which looks similar to a right-angle triangle. The two sides of the right angle are on the East Sea and the South, and the oblique sides are in the northwest.
The Youlong River flows through the middle and upper part of the triangle, and there are two small towns on the other side of the river. However, because it is blocked by the Youlong River and the surrounding mountains, it can only use ships to connect with the outside world, which is relatively poor.
Looking at the map, everyone made a stroke of drawing, OK, and it made a quick decision! First pull out Hu Xiaozhai and turn around and kill Shitang Town. It takes three days to consolidate it, and then tens of thousands of people can be drawn to excavate channels. Once the situation stabilizes, move south!
Moreover, because the terrain of the north is relatively high, as long as the river is introduced, it will naturally flow downward; the north will not be affected by disasters; on the contrary, there will be problems in the south - but we all looked for you in advance. If you are not violent and do not cooperate, you can only choose to ignore your existence! No, you can only cooperate violently with you.
Since you are selfish, we will learn; we will not talk about second brother!
After discussing the approximate details, it was almost noon.
"Dad, uncle, let everyone move forward immediately after eating; the soldiers are very fast, so we will catch each other off guard!
I went to the valley and brought out the designed crossbows. Although the defense of Hu Xiaozhai is not very powerful, we are not a real army, and it is difficult to work with our usual attack methods.
They are so happy that they will first taste the crossbow we built in a few years!
By the way, this is the terrain I saw when I went to Huxiao Village in the morning, so everyone should take a look." Xiao Hao's "happy" eyes narrowed.
In fact, until now, Xiao Hao has also understood a problem: many technological weapons require basics, and they are not ordinary basics; without that foundation, department-level weapons are just a pit, and the cost of an aircraft carrier is enough to make ancient society bankrupt for thousands of years.
Not to mention, not many people can use it; the power of the early development of technology is not that powerful, and it was not new to musketeers who were driven away by cavalry to run around. Logistics and technical personnel were enough to make the greatest leader worry.
Moreover, the crossbows are not bad, and they are relatively simple to manufacture, have complete craftsmanship, and are easy to train craftsmen.
Technology is just a kind of idea, not necessarily a giant ship, cannon, machine gun, missile, etc. Xiao Hao has a unique understanding of this.
"Okay, soldiers are very fast! Tonight, we will come back for a celebration banquet!" Li Yulong was full of passion.
"Okay! Come back tonight for the celebration banquet!" Xiao Shilong was not willing to fall behind!
"Come back tonight for the celebration banquet!" Everyone yelled! His eyes shone, obviously attracted by the future described by Xiao Hao!
It is said that people do not punish themselves for themselves. Standing at the height of another era, Xiao Hao understood very well that the strongest relationship is not righteous family affection, but: interests! If interests plus family affection, then it is really unbreakable.
Let these people know that you are not fighting for the righteousness of nothingness, but fighting for yourself and your future, and they will naturally fight bravely. The best way to rule is to tie everyone's interests together!
After Xiao Hao left, everyone took a few bites of rice, half full, and went out to ride a horse. As the saying goes, soldiers are the most powerful, and with long-distance raids, this time they are all cavalry, or horses. Being able to ride a horse does not mean they are cavalry.
