Tu Hao still didn't know that his cousin gave him a wave of assists at Xinshan Pass.

What he didn't even know was that he got far more than this wave of assists.

The water bandits and thieves on both sides of the Rao River were considered bloody bad luck.Although the Rao water is wide, the underwater situation is complicated, and there are not many boats coming and going.Many people choose to travel by land rather than water.

For example, Ye Dahua had to go to Xinshan Pass at the beginning, and the time and cost of taking various transfers by water were no more economical than taking land.

Generally speaking, the life of these bandits is actually not satisfactory. There is no such thing as a day of big scales, drinking and eating meat.

Rao Shui wanted great governance, but in fact they welcomed it more than anyone else, and they didn't intend to make trouble at all.

After all, if the Rao water is cured, there will definitely be a lot more ships going to and from it in the future.Those water bandits who rely on water for food can naturally live a better life.

However, they didn't think about what to do, and even restrained some small thieves not to make trouble on the construction site, but a group of melons came and pulled out their stockade indiscriminately.

It's not just their one stockade, all the stockades along the coast have been pulled out!

"Old rules. Shave your head, boil your clothes in salt water, don't kill people, and keep them to dig rivers." Zeng Shiqi's dark face still had unabated baby fat, and the faces of a group of soldiers behind him And all with the same baby fat.Taking a closer look, the oldest of this group of "soldiers" is probably no more than [-] years old, and the younger ones jumped off the horses and were not as tall as the horses' backs.

This is a group of melons!

The water bandits glared angrily at these melons.

Zeng Shiqi led the "army" of dudes in the capital.This group of dandies usually play for fun, and the righteousness in their hearts can still be put right.Ordinary people in the capital don't know about Rao Shui's rush to control the water, but it's not a secret at all in their circle.The young people who are full of passion in their hearts especially want to contribute.

Their thinking is also very simple.They don't know how to control water, and they don't have the ability to mobilize supplies, but water control definitely lacks labor.For this alone, they feel that they can still contribute a little bit.

Zeng Shishi had a letter from his boss Ye Dahua in his hand, which contained the general distribution of some bandits along the Rao River.This group of dandies have little ability to march and fight, but their equipment is definitely not bad. Seriously speaking, they may even be comparable to the Imperial Army.

Ordinary good horses are not rare at all. Tall horses and war horses are standard equipment for each person.Some even have a particularly powerful BMW.

There are all kinds of fine steel knives, armor, longbows, and even feathered arrows.

The military training of these dandies is not for nothing, and the family education is also solid, and their martial arts are better than ordinary people. When they go out to face water bandits, they are completely crushed, and their oily skin is not scratched at all.

They will definitely not be able to fight.But competing with the water bandits can only be called a group fight at best.

The water bandits probably had a little advantage of the location, but none of them escaped. They were soon cleaned up and sent to work on the most difficult construction site.

Tu Hao didn't know all of this, so he hurried all the way, but the itinerary was still not fast enough, and the whole project from the Yurao section to Rao Song was inspected.His experiment was just incidental. He wanted to gather all the resources he could muster, and take away all the personnel he could take away.

When he arrived at Rao Song, he paid a visit to King Su, gave him a bunch of gifts, and then picked up Xu Mingxu before continuing down the river together.

His itinerary was already very rushed, but as far as Xu Mingxu was concerned, he hadn't seen his little mouse for a full month.However, looking at the little mouse snoring in his arms, he was not willing to wake people up after all, and even ignored the tailor who was anxious to measure his clothes.

Fortunately, the tailor didn't have to wait too long. When Tu Hao was still sleeping the next day, Xu Mingxu got up early in the morning, even earlier than some boatmen.The tailor, who hadn't slept all night on the boat, immediately caught the man and measured him before releasing him.

The dim sum chef on board, Tian San, knew the master's schedule, and got up early to prepare hot water. After Xu Mingxu finished his simple washing, he started to prepare breakfast with the briquette stove.

Xu Mingxu saw a new face and asked, "I don't think I've seen you at home before?"

Tian San hurriedly stood up and said: "The villain was five years old and his family was in trouble. His master took him in to work in the small village. Later, he was adopted by Mrs. Tian as his adopted son. He used to serve under the girl's stove, but now he comes to serve Dalang and Qilang."

Xu Mingxu nodded, asked what he had for breakfast, and went to the deck to fight.

He knew that the Tu family had rescued a large number of victims in the past, and now he was more and more aware of the huge number of victims in this group.Even if he is considered to be quite wealthy now, he still can't imagine how the Tu family siblings, who were only two children back then, were able to properly accommodate these people.

This group of people has undoubtedly become the initial team of the Tu family, and they are not weaker than the children of some big families.

In terms of loyalty, the Tu family has a real life-saving grace for these people.A body deed doesn't mean anything.

Tu Hao was even able to convert the sons of a useful family into good people. This kind of structure and heart, even ordinary aristocratic families would not have it.

When Tian San was hit by the disaster, he was still very young, so he couldn't even remember his own name, only his ranking, and after he recognized Aunt Tian as his adoptive mother, he kept this ranking.

To him, the Tu family is the same as the Bodhisattvas mentioned by the monks. As for working with the girl or the Dalang, it is the same.At home, he could only make pastries, but now that he is away from home, there are only gangsters on board, and there is no decent cook at all, so he can only go on board.

"I hope Dalang and Qilang don't dislike it." Tian San simmered a casserole of white rice porridge over low heat, opened the lid of the bucket beside him, took the net down, and immediately picked up a big fish that was three feet long.

The big fish struggled unavoidably in the net bag, but Tian San's hands were extremely steady, and he cleaned the big fish with three strokes.The equipment on the ship was poor, and there was inevitably a little dampness, so he moved some to sit on the poop deck, and used a few coal pellet stoves, which were smaller than the usual ones, to cook, and soon the thick aroma of rice and fish wafted out. The fresh fragrance comes.It's just that he was sitting downwind, so the people on the boat could hardly smell it.

When Xu Mingxu's morning class was over, Tu Hao also walked slowly from the cabin to the deck. He didn't wake up after staring at him, and walked crookedly to Xu Mingxu. After confirming that his wife was fine, he went He walked crookedly to the stern, squatted on the spot like a little rascal, sniffed and asked, "What's for breakfast?"

Tian San hurriedly found a ponytail for him, and after watching him sit down, he replied respectfully: "There is white porridge, and two dishes of cold dishes. I just killed a big fish this morning and made fish siu mai and fish and shrimp wontons. "

The aroma of food gradually awakened Tu Hao.He looked at everything and was a little embarrassed about what to eat.

Xu Mingxu turned around after him, said with a smile, "It's a bit cold in the morning, let's have something warm." He said to Tu Hao, "Let's eat a little white porridge, and have some siu mai?"

"Okay." Tu Hao pointed to a particularly thick barrel next to him, and asked, "What's there?"

Tian San opened the lid, and the air-conditioning immediately permeated: "The villain saw that the fish scales are very good, so I made fish scale jelly. When the weather gets hot at noon, it's just right to eat." He is not very good at cooking, but this kind of snack , he is still very confident.

Tu Hao thought it was good, and asked again: "Do you know how to make snacks?"

Xu Mingxu originally stood by the side without making a sound, but when he heard this, he immediately bent down and picked up Tu Mouse by the waist, and said to Tian San: "Bring breakfast to the room later." Thinking about eating snacks, do you still want to gain weight?

Tian San agreed, and watched their young wife take the young master away, always feeling that something was wrong.

These delicate gadgets made by Tian San really appealed to Tu Hao's appetite. He even ate two extra bites of the fish that he didn't really want to eat on the boat.

Xu Mingxu has a big appetite, but he is not picky about food. He can eat porridge with a few pickles very sweet.

It's just that in the next two months, such a few bites became the only pleasure for the two of them.Tu Hao didn't know when the war would start, but according to "convention", it must be after the autumn harvest.

When the barbarians invaded, they just wanted to plunder.If the autumn harvest is not available, they will not be able to loot anything at all, so what are they doing here?

The current season has already stepped on the tip of the tail of the end of summer, and it seems that the autumn harvest is about to begin.

Xu Mingxu was very calm: "Raoshui goes to the west, and the autumn harvest is about a month later than that in the east, so there are still two months left."

However, only two months!

Tu Hao looked slow and not in a hurry, but he actually did a lot of things.He made a round trip in the capital, and directly seconded almost the entire engineer battalion under his grandfather.

It's not that Xu Mingxu has nothing to do.Flood control involves a lot of manpower and material resources, some are allocated directly from the capital, and some are allocated from various places.To ensure that these resources can be implemented without compromise, he needs to do a lot of work.

It's just that he is in good health and is used to such high-intensity work, but his little mouse has lost weight.

However, water control still needs to be controlled.Fortunately, all the way here, no matter whether they are skilled workers or hard workers, they are all skilled now.The addition of the engineer battalion is even more powerful. Their equipment is more complete, their physical fitness is better, and they are even technically proficient.

The project speed was even faster than Tu Hao expected.

Of course, this kind of rushed project is not far from the tofu dregs project.If the Rao River from Yurao to Rao Song is an expressway, then the river from Rao Song to Xinshan Pass is almost a country road, or the kind of dirt road.Many river sections can only accommodate medium-sized ships, and cannot be used for large ships as originally designed.

Two months later, Tu Hao met his second uncle at Xinshan Pass.

The author has something to say:

Ye Dahua (￣ω￣): Brother, I will first form a team to open up advanced dungeons outside the customs.

Zeng Shiqi (+ω+): Yes, my younger brother will bring the novice water bandit copy first.

Water bandits (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻: I don't want to lose face!
