general follow me

In the distance, Shi Yu walked over slowly with some soldiers. Seeing Liu Ran was smiling, he couldn't help wondering, "Why?"

Liu Ran smiled and said, "I thought that General Shi would come in strict accordance with military discipline and wouldn't give me away. I didn't expect..."

"..." Shi Yu said helplessly, "These ten people are all stubborn and stubborn."

Liu Ran waved her hands and said confidently: "It's okay! As long as you have a lot of strength, it's fine. Besides, the water of the canal will be used in the barracks. I don't believe they dare to mess around with this matter!"

Shi Yu nodded, "In that case, I will leave the person to you."

"Well," Liu Ran looked at the sky and smiled, "Do you want to stay and taste Suizhou's special dishes, General?"

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows and said intentionally, "Oh? Now that your lord is an official, isn't it because you've made a fortune?"

"..." When Liu Ran heard this teasing tone for the first time, she was a little embarrassed, but she still said to herself, "I can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, how could I invite the general to eat the food outside?" I only know how to make money!"

Shi Yu refused, "I still have something to do in the army, I can't stay long. Eat by yourself."

For some reason, Liu Ran asked further, "Then if you return to the capital at the end of the year, I wonder if the general will give you face?"

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Yes."

Among the ten people, quite a few were actually implicated. At this time, they wanted to make up for their mistakes, so they worked desperately.The soldiers already had great strength and nimble hands and feet, so doing it now would make those farmers a lot easier.The common people used to talk a lot, so at this moment, they just started chatting, "Brother! Why are you still violating discipline when you're a soldier!"

"..." Does this sentence have a causal relationship...

"Oh!" The man ignored them, and went on to say: "I used to want to be a soldier too! Defending the country, killing the enemy on the battlefield, how majestic! When I return home, everyone will be proud of me! Oops ~It’s beautiful just thinking about it.”

A soldier asked, "Then why didn't you join the army?"

The strong man regretted, "My family thought I couldn't make it, so they married me a daughter-in-law early. When I wanted to go, the daughter-in-law looked at me with a big belly, so I dare to leave? That's My daughter-in-law and son! After giving birth, my parents were gone. I thought I couldn’t leave their wife and son alone at home, it’s irresponsible!”

Another soldier said contemptuously, "What's the matter! I think you are scared!"

The big man sighed, "My daughter-in-law is blind, and her body is weak after giving birth to a son. How dare I let her be tired."

There was a moment of silence.Liu Ran suddenly said, "Hey! Brother, what's your name!"

The big man smiled foolishly, "My lord, my name is Li Shui."

"Is there anyone else at home?" Liu Ran asked.

"My lord, there is another brother, but we have not been in touch for a long time! He thinks we are poor, so he won't associate with us."

"Oh..." Liu Ran boasted sincerely, "Oh~ there are very few responsible people like you nowadays! An official is not like an official, and a soldier is not like a soldier. A little responsibility I can't even afford it, and I still take my Daqi's salary for nothing. It's quite troublesome."

The soldiers were a little ashamed when they heard this.Li Shui was a little embarrassed when he heard it, "Don't praise me, my lord."

Liu Ran smiled and said, "I still want to praise you. If you do well, you should be praised. Similarly, if you cause trouble, you should be punished." He glanced at the three people who wanted to sneak away, pointed at them and said, " Just like them."

Seeing that they were discovered, the three of them were not embarrassed, and said confidently, "My lord, we are hungry, we have to eat first!"

"Oh~ I'm hungry now! Why are you more hungry than us peasants! It turns out that soldiers can be so valuable!" Liu Ran explained with a thorn in his mouth, "To tell you the truth, Military Lord, our Suizhou City has been arranging meals according to the time of the workers who repaired the canal in recent days, and there is no time here, in the city! There is no food."

A soldier snorted coldly, "Hmph! How is that possible!"

Liu Ran retorted, "Hey, don't tell me you usually like to go home and eat cold food, Mr. Jun?"

"..." Another soldier objected, "We also build aqueducts!"

Liu Ran pretended to be surprised and said, "Water channel? Come here, let me see, where did you build it?" Then he got up.

The soldier who hadn't spoken all this time said impatiently, "Say nonsense to this weak scholar, just leave!" He wanted to go out, Sanyan hurried to stop him, but was pushed away by the man on the ground, Seeing this, Hong Lian immediately stepped forward, grabbed the soldier in twos and twos, and taunted, "Hmph! It's not as useful as a woman like me!"

Just kidding, Hong Lian's kung fu was taught by his mother, who came from Feihua Pavilion.Liu Ran stepped forward, expressing her concern, "Master Jun, the girls didn't even say to go first, so you go first, this face... can you bear it?"

The soldier just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Let go of him." Liu Ran said to Hong Lian, and then smiled at everyone, "Hurry up, everyone! There are so many people here today, let's try to finish the project in a month! Then sit at home and drink water happily!"

"Okay!" The people all responded with a smile.

The few soldiers didn't dare to do it again, and they all started to get busy with everyone.

A shed was set up next to the canal, and it was built wherever the progress was made.Seeing that it was noon, Liu Ran left with Sanyan for a while.

"Hmph! I'm going to fill my stomach first! But I left us here to do coolies! You really are a 'good official'!" The soldier who made troubles was afraid that Hong Lian would hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Okay" again. The tone of the word "official" was emphasized, and it sounded like gnashing of teeth.

"Don't say that! Mr. Liu is already hundreds of times better than the previous officials!" Li Shui defended Liu Ran, "Perhaps Mr. Liu is in a hurry! When he usually leaves, he doesn't take the little bookboy with him. of."

"Just speak for him! Anyway, there is hardly any good official after a long time!" The soldier said to himself, "I saw a lot of this kind of thing in the capital!"

Li Shui was a little angry and ignored him.The soldier didn't care, and continued to do his work.

After half an hour, Liu Ran and San Yan were followed by some common people, each carrying a food box, and shouted, "Hong Lian, clean up the table!"

Although Hong Lian didn't understand, she did it anyway. Liu Ran brought out many dishes one after another from the food box, and released the bowls and chopsticks, "Thank you everyone!"

"No, no, no! We couldn't help repairing the canal, and that's the only thing that can help adults."

Liu Ran smiled and said, "Everyone go back quickly! The sun is shining!" Then he turned and shouted to the workers, "Brothers, stop for a while, let's eat first!"

Li Shui said proudly, "I just said how could your lord leave us behind!" Then he replied, "Hey! That's good!"

A group of people gathered together and had a lively meal.The provoking soldier said in a strange way, "Hmph! You don't have to do that if you want to prevent us from entering the city!"

Liu Ran asked casually, "What's your name?"

"...Zhang Wei."

"Oh~ you are the Zhang Wei who often goes to the building!" Liu Ran looked at him with deep meaning, and continued, "Why should I guard against you? You are here now, and you have no money on you. What can you do in the city?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Wei was a little embarrassed, so he didn't speak, and kept eating food in his mouth.

"Today, I felt that everyone was working too hard, and I planned to cook by myself. Unexpectedly, after the common people heard about it, they would volunteer to cook an extra dish for you to eat. The kindness is hard to refuse!" Liu Ran put down Bowls and chopsticks, "Take a break for half an hour after eating, and start work after half an hour!"

"it is good!"

In fact, the soldiers are not stubborn people. After more than half a month, the hostility they carried in the beginning has been slowly worn away by getting along with the simple and honest people. Contact changed views.Of course, Liu Ran, a young scholar, can't completely subdue this group of elders no matter how well he looks. The main reason is that Hong Lian's scarf doesn't let men and Shi Yu who comes to supervise the work from time to time make them settle down slowly.Usually, I mostly relieve boredom with Liu Ran and Lala Zizi.

The canal has also basically been built, and now it is only necessary to open the canal and clear some obstacles on both sides of the canal.Liu Ran looked at the busy workers contentedly, and said, "After today, probably Suizhou will really be able to use water! After the end, I will treat everyone to a good meal!"

Everyone immediately boiled over and said, "Okay!"

Zhang Wei asked, "Lord Liu, can we go back to the barracks after repairing?"

Liu Ran asked, "Do you really want to go back?"

"Isn't that nonsense? It's hard not to go back to the place where I stayed for several years!"

"...Li Shui's family is repairing the house, right?" Liu Ran suddenly asked without going to the village or behind the shop.

Li Shui didn't know, so, "Yes... yes, what... what's wrong?"

"Then let them build houses for you! More people are more powerful!" Liu Ran pointed at Zhang Wei and said.

"My lord!" Zhang Wei was a little angry, he gritted his teeth and asked, "...why!"

"No reason. The general said, I can choose the employment at my own discretion. I am happy." Liu Ran wrote lightly.

"..." Does this count as finding a backer?

After the canal was opened, all the people in Suizhou were very excited.Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wei and the others were arranged by Liu Ran to first repair the house, and then arrange to water this family, kill birds for that family, and almost ran all over Suizhou City.At the beginning, the common people were still a little scared, because Zhang Wei and the others did all kinds of evil things before. When they saw that they didn’t pay for anything, they used brute force to grab it. As a result, the common people have long complained about the border army.But after nearly half a month of work, the people's grievances have also become less, and some kind shopkeepers even gave some things to Zhang Wei, although Liu Ran ordered them not to accept them.

Zhang Wei and the others felt embarrassed for the first time. They have been in the border for many years, boring and lonely, and now they are cared by so many people. There seems to be a warm current in their hearts. They all secretly made up their minds to guard the border after returning.

"My lord, thank you very much." It was Zhang Wei's first time saying thank you to others, and he was a little awkward.

"What are you thanking me for? It was you who did it, not me." Liu Ran pretended not to know, but looked at Xiaojia in Feihua Pavilion standing outside the courtyard, as if looking for him for something, and urged, "Okay! Don't be awkward, old men! Go back quickly! Otherwise, the general will really say that I deliberately detained you!"

"..." They deliberately kept us for half a month.

Everyone didn't say much, and after thanking them one by one, they returned to the barracks.
