The centurion led his nine veterans to the designated work area. He originally thought he was asking them to cut down trees, but he didn't expect that Butcher Xu, who was handing over the work to them, asked them to take care of people.

Xu Tutu briefly explained a few rules and ordered in a cold voice: "Are you soldiers from the garrison? Okay, you ten people can work in pairs. Have you seen those government officials? You go over and help take care of people. If someone is cheating or being sneaky, , rob women and children of their merits, find them out and record their names, and rush home to eat themselves if they do it a second time!”

The centurion listened to Xu Butcher's arrangement and secretly laughed in his heart: Taking care of people? This job is easy! He loves and is best at managing people!

One of the veterans asked aloud: "What if a woman or child commits a crime?"

The flesh on Butcher Xu's face moved, and he said in a stern voice: "Whoever commits a crime will be caught! No matter who he is, if he breaks the rules, be prepared to be punished!"

"Yes!"

Ten veterans headed by Centurion Youzi came to their workplaces and briefly introduced their work content to Liu Yamen.

Liu Yamen greeted the ten veteran Youzi and arranged for them to go on inspection: "Do as Mrs. Xu said. If you find someone robbing the fruits of other people's labor, come to me."

The centurion asked curiously: "Mr. Xu? Isn't that the officer from your county government just now?"

Liu Yamen replied: "It's not suppression, it's Pinglehou's father-in-law, Mrs. Xu."

The centurion looked at Butcher Xu thoughtfully for a few more times, then looked at Huo Yunchao, who was holding the little Fubao back and forth, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.

After Mrs. Bai and others left, a young yamen officer came over and asked Liu yamen officer in a low voice: "Boss, are these soldiers and ruffians really good at obeying orders?"

Liu Yamen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Soldiers? How do you know they are soldiers?"

The young government officer gritted his teeth and said, "My brother-in-law couldn't decide to study. My father-in-law sent him to join the army. He cried and wanted to come back within half a year. After coming back, my brother-in-law studied hard for fear of my father-in-law. Then he sent him back to the military camp. My brother-in-law said that the veterans often robbed him of food and supplies, and they were all no different from ruffians."

Liu Yamen raised his chin in the direction of Huo Yunchao and said jokingly: "Marquis Pingle is over there. If the sky falls, Marquis Pingle will bear it first."

The young government official was immediately convinced.

The dignified Marquis Pingle went to great lengths to build the river embankment himself.

He is just a yamen servant, so why is it his turn to worry?

In order to prevent anyone from cheating and disrupting the order, the route map and divided areas of the cleanup work were drawn up, and then Butcher Xu explained it clearly to the officials and officials in charge.

The Yamen and Li Zheng each performed their duties, and the people under their management behaved according to the rules. Major events did not happen, and minor issues were resolved by themselves.

The work of clearing the road up the mountain was carried out in an orderly manner. The foot of the mountain and halfway up the mountain were full of people, either cutting down trees or pulling up trees. They were very busy.

Huo Yunchao worked hard to coax the little Fu Bao to sleep. He gently put the fat girl into Xu Ning's arms: "Ning Niang, thank you for your hard work. I'll go over and check on the progress of the work."

Xu Ning shook her head to express that she was not working hard.

Huo Yunchao really wanted to kiss his wife before leaving, but the fat girl just started to moan at this moment, and no matter how careful she was, it would be in vain.

After saying goodbye to his lovely wife and fat girl, Huo Yunchao led secret guard Yi to the work area where Xu Tutu was. As he walked, he asked: "Jia Er, is there anyone disrupting order?"

Jia Er is an upright person: "Hui Hou, I didn't pay attention."

Huo Yunchao glanced at the confident Jia Er, shook his head and said with a smile: "If those ten veterans don't obey the arrangement, how do you think it is best to punish them?"

Jia Er did not answer but asked: "Master Hou, do you want the veteran to be in charge of black powder?"

Huo Yunchao: "Yes, they are more courageous than the government officials. They have been on the battlefield and experienced life-and-death battles. I can't think of anyone more suitable than them. You suddenly asked, do you have any suggestions?"

Jia Er: "Black gunpowder is too powerful. What if these veterans learn the formula of black gunpowder and they disobey discipline and instigate other soldiers to rebel together? Lord Marquis, aren't you worried?"

Huo Yunchao smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry. I won't give them the formula of black gunpowder. Even if they know the formula of black gunpowder, they can't get the raw materials. I have written to your Majesty that the court will Control all materials that may be used in black powder. If we take another 10,000 steps back, the wives, children, and children of these veterans have been controlled, and their families have been destroyed. Worse, the nine tribes have been implicated!" He is not the one who should worry.

Jia Er was silent for a moment: "Master Hou, you are right."

He always forgot that the person standing in front of him was not an ordinary farmer, but the powerful Pinglehou.

Huo Yunchao came to Butcher Xu and asked, "Dad Xu, are there any ignorant people causing trouble?"

Butcher Xu said nonchalantly: "Yes, I just drove home a bastard who robbed a woman and her child and ate him."

He didn't want to talk about those bad things, and was more concerned about Huo Yunchao: "Chao'er, why are you free to come here today?"

"Well, I have nothing to do. I brought Ning Niang and Xiao Fubao over to have a look, just like going out for a walk and stretching my muscles." Huo Yunchao replied with a smile.

Butcher Xu waved his hand and said, "Since you have nothing important to do, you should quickly take Ning Niang and Xiao Fubao home."

Huo Yunchao took the meat sauce from Jia Er and said, "Dad Xu, put this meat sauce away. I'm going home right now."

Butcher Xu took the meat sauce jar, opened the cork and took a look: "Hey, Chao'er, why is this still steaming? Did you fry the meat sauce before going out?"

Huo Yunchao: "It's not me, it's Ning Niang. Ning Niang said she was afraid that you wouldn't be used to the simple meals here."

Butcher Xu said this, holding the meat sauce jar tightly in his hand: "How can I be so rich? I can eat whatever I have, as long as I am not hungry. Okay, you can leave quickly."

Huo Yun rambled a lot and finally got to the point: "Dad Xu, I have something important to do here today. Here, Father Xu will observe the ten veterans for me. I have a very important task. Leave it to them. But before that, I have to see if their character and ability can afford my trust."

Butcher Xu had an expression on his face that said, "I know it's not a simple matter." He patted his chest and promised, "I'm telling you, there must be something important for you. Don't worry, I'll look after it for you. If it doesn't work, I'll observe it for a few days." Tell you."

Before leaving, Huo Yunchao did not forget to remind him: "Dad Xu, don't work too hard. If you are tired, just rest. No one dares to say anything wrong with you."

Butcher Xu was too lazy to talk to Huo Yunchao and urged him to go home again.

He is not a three-year-old child, so why does he need a junior to teach him how to work?

What's more, he is an overseer with a heavy responsibility, how can he take the lead in being lazy?

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, Butcher Xu will not allow himself to be the crooked upper beam.
