The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 179
After inspecting Handong Village, we went back.

As soon as he returned to Dahan Town, he learned that Su Qin had returned from Yindu.

"I've met my lord." Su Qin smiled and bowed his hands.

"I've been away for more than half a month, and I'm finally back. Tell me, how was the result of this trip?"

Su Lin waved his hand to let him stand up, and then asked expectantly.

"After several days of negotiations, thanks to the help of Dr. Miyuan, the King of Chu has announced that the lord will be enthroned as Marquis of Che, and the Chuxi Mountains occupied by our Dahan Town will be regarded as the lord's fiefdom."

Su Qin reported the results of the negotiation. Although it was easy to say, it can be imagined that the negotiation process was difficult.

After all, the Chu State was also a major country in the world. It just accepted this fact and suffered a hidden loss, as if it had broken a tooth and swallowed it in the stomach.

Fortunately, Mi Yuan and Long Xiang worked together to make it happen.

In addition, the King of Chu was no longer willing to send a large army to encircle and suppress the people, which would waste people and money, and there was also pressure from the Qi State in the north.

Due to various factors, the King of Chu agreed to grant Su Lin the title of Marquis of Che and grant him part of the western Chu Mountains.

Chehou is also a kind of title. It sounds like a marquis, but in fact it is not a big title. Some people only have a few miles of fiefdom.

Su Lin doesn't care either, any titles are fake, as long as the strength is strong, it will be real.

"I've worked hard all the way. I've asked someone to prepare an independent yard for you. Go back and wash and have a good rest."

Su Lin attaches great importance to talents. Professional diplomatic talents like Su Qin must be reused.

"Thank you, Lord." Su Qin extended his palms, saluted respectfully, and then stepped back.

Xiaodie asked in a pan: "Master, are we safe now?"

"Of course, as long as the state of Chu doesn't come to attack us, who will cross the state of Chu to attack us? It's just temporarily safe, but we can't be too comfortable. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace to prevent what happened last time." Su Lin warned.

"Oh." Xiaodie nodded, and asked again: "Su Qin has made great contributions this time, what position does the Lord want to give him?"

Su Lin frowned slightly, it was time to think about the reward for Su Qin.

"Make him deputy brigade commander and let him work in the intelligence bureau."

Su Lin thought for a while, and decided to do this first. In the future, an institution similar to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be established, and Su Qin will be the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

"He holds such a high position at such a young age?"

Xiaodie pouted. You must know that military rank not only determines how many work points you can get every month, but also highlights your status in the town.

We usually meet each other in the town. For example, when the regiment leader meets the deputy brigade commander, he must salute.

Who doesn't want to climb up? Although Su Qin was promoted to deputy brigade commander when he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he had made great achievements and no one could say anything.

Su Lin asked: "Well, Xiaodie, what level are you at?"

"The slave is now the squad leader." Xiaodie said.

"For the sake of serving you so hard, let me promote you to company commander. You can't be promoted too fast, after all, you haven't done any meritorious service yet." Su Lin laughed.

"Thank you, my lord."

Xiaodie saluted excitedly, the position is too important here.

Dahan Town has entered a period of rapid development again.

Many mountain forests were transformed into farms, and infrastructure also grew crazily during this time.

Dahan Town was classified as a fiefdom and would be very safe in the future. People from nearby cities and mountain villages flocked to Dahan Town upon hearing this.

With the mentality of never rejecting anyone who comes, Su Lin accepts it as it is offered.

However, for the sake of the stability and harmony of the entire village and town, anyone who has had dirty hands or feet in the past will not be accepted.

Moreover, the new villagers will be classified as second-class villagers, and there is no way to enjoy the treatment of first-class villagers, although most of them are a little disappointed when they know.

But I can also understand that you can’t demand everything to be the best right away, you have to work hard to get it.

The two-story wooden bed that Su Lin asked the logging camp to make can accommodate more people in one room.

Because there was no double-decker wooden bed, Su Lin asked the craftsmen to make it according to his previous memories.

"My lord, do you think this is okay?"

The craftsman at the lumberyard pointed to the newly made two-tiered double wooden bed.

Su Lin looked around and nodded, "It's okay, but we need to add an escalator, otherwise how can people get up there, and it's too heavy to make. There's no need to spend so much wood. Try to find ways to reduce the weight. "

"Here." The craftsman nodded, thinking about how to improve.

"My lord, something happened." Xiaodie ran in from the outside, her tone hurried.

"What's the matter?" Su Lin frowned.

"The villagers from the two new villages just came to fight." Xiaodie said anxiously.

"What?" Su Lin was shocked.

The southwest area of ​​Dahan Town is a newly built residential area.

It was far away from the town center, and there were hundreds of people shouting and cursing here, and the people in front were pushing and shoving, and it seemed that they were about to fight.

They are villagers from two villages. They heard that Dahan Town's welfare is good, so they moved the village here. Originally, the two villages lived relatively close, and conflicts often occurred.

After I came here, I started fighting because of some trivial things.

"Hit him for daring to bully the people of our little Blackwater Village."

"The people of our Xiguo Village are not easy to bully, I will beat you to death."

With shouts and curses, the two sides began to use their hands and feet, and it soon turned into a collective violence incident.

Some people were beaten to death in group fights.

"Stop, stop."

Li Jinlong roared with a murderous look on his face, but the villagers in both villages were red-eyed. Who cares who you are.

Most of them are newcomers, and they haven't experienced the power of the 'Black Faced Hades' yet.

Seeing that they ignored them, Li Jinlong waved his hands with a cold face, and immediately rushed in two groups of militiamen, holding bronze long swords in their hands, and separated the villagers on both sides.

Seeing that it was true, the villagers of the two villages were so frightened that they dared not speak any more and stepped back again and again.

Seeing them stop, Li Jinlong stepped over and said coldly: "Fight, why don't you fight?"

"My lord, it was they Xiguo Village who came to find fault first, please make the decision for us." A middle-aged man said with righteous indignation.

"Obviously it was you who scolded us first, but the villain complained first. It's really shameless." The young man opposite shouted.

"Who is shameless, why do you still want to fight?"

"If we fight, who is afraid of whom?"

Before saying a few words, the two sides are about to start working again.

"To shut up!"

Li Jinlong shouted angrily: "Law enforcement team, arrest everyone, and punish them according to the regulations of Dahan Town."

"what?"

Hundreds of villagers were shocked, should they all be arrested?
Aren’t you afraid of resistance from our group?

"Sir, we were wrong, please let us go."

"Yes, my lord, if we are first-time offenders, let us be spared."

Everyone thought that with so many people committing crimes, they would definitely go unpunished, but they didn't expect that Li Jinlong was serious.

"Hmph, if everyone thinks this way, wouldn't the laws in my Dahan Town be useless?" Li Jinlong glanced at them with a cold face, "Everyone must be punished according to the regulations, no favoritism is allowed."

"Then what will the general do with us?"

"If you really want to punish us, we will move out and not stay here."

"Yes, yes, let's move out, don't stay here and suffer from this bird."

Many young men rolled up their sleeves and shouted indignantly, thinking that this would make Li Jinlong compromise.

"Ha ha ha ha……."

Li Jinlong threw his head back and laughed, covering his chest with his hands, smiling brightly.

Everyone was dumbfounded, what are you laughing at?
After he finished laughing, he glanced at everyone and shouted coldly: "What do you think of Dahan Town as a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?"

"We have no shortage of people in Dahan Town. There are many people who want to come to us. When they come here, they must abide by the rules here. Whoever breaks the rules will be punished."

"Everyone has twenty lashes each. If you want to leave after the punishment, I will never stop you."
