Li An was about to shoot an arrow, when suddenly his eyes fixed as if he had discovered something.
Li An suddenly turned around, slammed his shoulder into Princess Lanwei's face, and let go of the bowstring at the same time.
"Hoo~" The feather arrow flew out with the sound of piercing through the air.
At the same time, Princess Lanwei squatted down covering her face. It hurt so much that tears came out.
The arrow flew over the deer, the deer was frightened, and disappeared into the mountains in an instant with its four hooves hopping.
Seeing this, Princess Lanwei covered her aching face and looked at Li An depressedly.
"Brother Nine, I'm aiming, why did you change direction, this arrow will definitely hit!"
It's fine if she missed the shot, but she also suffered such a blow, she suspected that Brother Jiu was avenging his own personal revenge!
Li An didn't answer Princess Lanwei, but quickly changed the arrow and drew the bow to its full capacity.
"If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Li An looked into the depths of the forest with cold eyes.
Seeing this, Princess Lanwei's eyes widened, and she looked in the direction Li An was aiming in disbelief.
Liu Qing and Wang Hu moved instantly, guarding Li An and Princess Lanwei respectively.
The soldiers who followed up the mountain also took out their weapons and became vigilant.
In the depths of the woods, a few men dressed as ordinary people were sweating profusely, and a feathered arrow was stuck in the big tree where they were hiding.
"Captain, what should we do? We have been discovered!"
A man's face was full of fear.
"Captain, fight with them!"
"Fuck it, this is Dahua, do you think we can survive to go back alive after fighting them?"
"What should I do?"
The voice fell and fell into a brief silence.
Afterwards, the corporal raised his hands above his head and carefully walked out from behind the tree.
"The prince is merciful with his arrows. We are hunters who went up the mountain to hunt, and we did not intend to collide with the prince."
Wang Hu made a signal, and ten soldiers quickly walked over to control the five people, and escorted the five people to Li An.
Kneeling on the ground roughly by the soldiers, the five lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li An.
"You said you were hunters who went hunting in the mountains?" Li An sneered at the five of them.
There are naturally Orion in Qingshui County, but Orion will not travel long distances to hunt here.
Because of the importance of the dam, after the dam is completed, ordinary people cannot come here at all, and the place is heavily guarded all year round.
Although the water conservancy project has solved the drought and flood problems in Qingshui County, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
If the dam is occupied by the enemy, as long as the enemy destroys the dam, the flood will submerge Qingshui County in an instant.
"Yes, yes." The corporal nodded quickly, "Xiaomin has undoubtedly offended the prince, and please forgive me."
Li An smiled, and continued to ask: "Since you are Orion, tell me your names and places of origin."
Hearing this, the corporal leader was speechless for a moment. It was their first time to Qingshui County, and they only knew two places, Yuyiguan and Qingshui County.
"Returning to the prince, Xiaomin and the others are all from Qingshui County." The corporal had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.
Li An nodded: "What's the name of the magistrate of Qingshui County?"
A few people were dumb again, they didn't know!
After waiting for a while, several people still couldn't answer, Li An smiled coldly: "Okay, since it was an unintentional mistake, I don't care about it with you."
"Thank you, my lord." Several people kowtowed in gratitude.
"Just pay more attention in the next life." Li An's voice came again.
Hearing this, several people instantly raised their heads and looked at Li An in disbelief.
The soldiers holding them also drew out their shining long knives.
Princess Lanwei looked at Li An puzzled, Brother Nine, doesn't he love his people very much?How to kill these hunters?
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, I say, we all say." The corporal's psychological defense instantly collapsed, and he frantically kowtowed to Li An.
"Isn't it enough to be so honest earlier? Do you have to waste my lord's saliva? Don't you know that the saliva of the lord of the Wang family is precious?" Wang Hu looked cold and kicked Wu Zhang on the shoulder.
"Tell me, who are you and why are you here?" Wang Hu said viciously.
"Responding to my lord's words, we are from Nanling Kingdom, and we are under He He's lord." The corporal quickly replied.
Li An's face darkened in an instant, and why.
Did He Wei already know that it is easy to defeat himself, as long as he destroys the dam, he can succeed?
Why is this not simple!
Just when Li An was thinking about this, the head of the corps spoke again: "'Master He sent many people to Qingshui County to spy on information, but there was no news of the people they sent.
Master He sent dozens of us to sneak into Qingshui County to investigate the cause, starting from Lutou Mountain in Nanling Country. '"
"Lutou Mountain?" Wang Hu frowned. He knew that Lutou Mountain had a small part connected to Yuyi Pass.
But the terrain at the end is steep and it is difficult to climb up. This group of people actually came over the mountains from Lutou Mountain!
But if you come from Lutou Mountain, shouldn't you be able to go down the mountain near Yuyi Pass? How did this group of people get here?
"If you want to enter the pass, why don't you come in from Yuyi Pass openly, so sneaky and sneaky, your family is a thief?" Wang Hu glared at several people.
The head of the corps shrank his neck in fright: "The people who entered through the pass have lost all news, we are here to investigate this matter..."
"Hey, how dare you talk back?" Wang Hu cursed and kicked Chief Wu on the shoulder again.
Because the little bean sprouts were also there, Pharaoh had already restrained himself.
The corporal leader was kicked to the ground, and he didn't dare to say a word of grievance, but his expression made people feel very sympathetic.
Isn't that what you have to ask?
If you don't answer, you will be knifed, and if you answer, you will be kicked?
What's the matter!
So brutal!
"Say, why did you appear here? Didn't you say that dozens of people came together, what about the others?" Wang Hu continued to ask viciously.
"We...we..." The corporal leader seemed to have some unspeakable reasons.
"Huh?" Wang Hu snorted coldly, and pulled out the long knife from the soldier's scabbard: "Do you want me to loosen your bones for you?"
The corporal leader turned pale with fright: "We lost our way in the mountains, and the other companions were buried in the belly of the beast, and the five of us escaped!"
Hearing this, Li An raised his head and glanced at the sky. There were big trees covering the sky above his head, and he couldn't tell the direction at all in the woods.
Moreover, there are few people in the mountains, so it is normal for these people to get lost in the mountains.
"Lost?" Wang Hu said loudly, and immediately glared at the five people with disdain and contempt on his face: "It's just you who are smart enough to come out to be spies? What kind of a man of yours pretends to be a thief, you don't even understand this! "
A few people lowered their heads in embarrassment. If they could, they didn't want to get lost.
If they hadn't gotten lost in the mountains, they would have completed their mission and returned to Anlin City long ago...
"My lord, I have made all the inquiries, what should I do?" Wang Hu saluted Li An.
Li An pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Take him back first."
"Yes!"
Afterwards, several people were blindfolded by black cloth strips and carried down the mountain by soldiers.
After this happened, Li An and the others did not continue to play in the dam, and returned to Qingshui County under the escort of a group of soldiers.
In the backyard of the Ping An Chamber of Commerce, five people were bound firmly and knelt on the ground.
Li Wan'er and Liu Yiyi stood side by side, quietly and obediently standing behind Li An.
"Miss Wan'er, how do you think this king should deal with these people in order to maximize the benefits?"
Chapter 122 This is a Good Thing
Li An always felt that it was a pity to kill a few people directly like this.
Utilization value is like water in a sponge, if you squeeze it, there will always be some.
They should also have a place where they can shine for themselves.
Hearing this, Li Wan'er pondered for a moment, and then said, "My lord, is your mine still short of people?"
"The lack is a lack of people, but sending all five of them there will not change much."
"My lord, Minnv guesses that the other people sent by He Wei have been arrested by you and taken to the mine, you can ask them to find these people, so as not to mix them into Qingshui County after the construction period is up.
In addition, we can use these few people as guides, and ask He Wei to send some workers over to speed up the construction of our city! "
Li An thought for a while, this strategy is not bad.
Now there are two kinds of workers in his mine, one is the bandits captured from the mountain and the prisoners in the prison. These people have no wages and are strictly supervised and cannot leave the mine.
There are also some free workers who can receive wages. These workers can leave the mine at any time after a certain period of work.
Mixing the two kinds of people greatly increases the difficulty of management.
If He Wei could send the miners over for himself, it would be much more convenient to just throw them into the mine, only let them eat, and not allow them to leave without paying wages.
Those free workers can be sent to the blacksmith shop to continue to speed up the manufacture of weapons.
After the plan was made, Li An looked at the corporal leader and the others coldly.
"To live or to die, the choice is yours."
"Live, my lord, we want to live."
Li An nodded, and began to explain his plan to several people.
Not long after, several soldiers took away two of them.
The two were to be taken to Yuyi Pass, where the guards would lead them up the mountain to find the place where they smuggled.
Ang Lee also needs to send people to focus on prevention and control in these places, so that similar situations cannot happen again in the future.
A representative was selected among the five, and the representative was the corps leader, and he returned to Nanling Country to report the situation to He Wei.
A few of Li An's personal guards left with him.
After returning to Nanling Country, they first went to the corporal leader's hometown.
Li An's personal guards stayed in Wu Zhang's hometown to help him take care of his family, while Wu Zhang rushed to Anlin City alone.
……
The bait has been thrown out, just waiting for the big fish to bite.
Li An was full of patience, while he took Princess Lanwei to eat, drink and have fun everywhere.
"Ninth brother, what is a shopping mall?" Princess Lanwei stood under a huge building, looking curiously at the plaque on the building.
"You can understand it as a high-end market." Li An said casually.
His shopping mall was built according to the model of a modern shopping mall. It is divided into several shops, some selling silk and satin, and some selling rare treasures.
Naturally, there are also things like firewood, rice, oil and salt.
As for why build a mall?Li An had too many workers at the time, so he just made this stuff.
Unexpectedly, after the opening of the mall, the business was extremely booming, and many businessmen chose to join in and rent a shop in the mall.
Li An can reap a lot of money every year just by renting it.
Princess Lanwei walked into the shopping mall curiously, and the yelling of a servant caught his attention.
"The soap used by the princes and nobles has arrived, and the guests who want it are rushing to buy it. The special price is one tael of silver!"
Now in Qingshui County, the price of soap has dropped, and a piece of soap is only one tael of silver.
Of course, it is only limited to Qingshui County, and the soaps sold to the outside world are still high-end luxury goods.
As for the price drop in Qingshui County so quickly, it is entirely because the weather is too hot, and there are so many workers in Qingshui County that are under construction, physical labor will inevitably cause sweating.
