Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Back to the present, Tang Bo and Gu Ding had just disposed of Yang Shiwu's father and daughter, and Shanhun also sent back news at night.

Indeed, someone secretly found Ma Jin and asked him what he saw after entering the White Deer collar.

Ma Jin was also very surprised when he saw the person coming, but after seeing the identity certificate presented by the other party, he became respectful and flattering.

In fact, before Ma Jin came, in addition to obtaining orders from the young lady of the Lu family, he also tried every means to meet the servant of the Duke of Lu Ma.

Although Grand Duke Luma did not meet him in person, Ma Jin also received a secret entrustment from the Grand Duke to investigate Bailuling carefully.

Ma Jin didn't expect that besides him, Duke Luma would send another team over.

Ma Jin didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he talked about what he saw in a way that he didn't feel too shocked.

Even so, it shocked the secret agent into a mess.

The spy didn't show his face, but repeatedly told Ma Jin that he must hold on to the line of Yangshiwu, and must win the trust of the Yang family's father and daughter, even if he really married Yanglan.

"You'd better use an excuse to get married and stay here. If you can do it, a lord is not a problem." The spy was also baiting Ma Jin.

"White Deer Collar should still have some secrets. I once entered the homes of some people in Sanshu City and found that they not only have good things like iron pots, but also have kitchen knives that are sharper than weapons. If ordinary civilians can have such knives , how good is the lord's possession?"

"In addition, almost no one has seen how the walls of Sanshu City were built. It seems that they appeared after a while. Bailuling was originally connected to Sanshu City, but now except for the road on which the carriage travels, other places are unexpectedly It is impossible to enter the White Deer Collar, either there is a sudden high mountain or a dense forest, and those who enter it either disappear or get lost."

Ma Jin hesitated, "You mean...there is someone favored by the gods here?"

Spy: "Very likely. This is one of the things you need to find out. If the Yang family doesn't know, the butler Buff, the superior Yan Ren of the Yangshi House, and Piglet must know. But Piglet It's very slippery. My people have contacted him many times and sent a bunch of things, but he didn't reveal anything. Butler Bafu basically doesn't come out of the White Hart Collar. We can't get in touch with Yan Ren, but you can try it through Sheep Stone House Get in touch and see. I heard that the other party is not married yet, you can say that you have a younger sister, and you want to introduce your daughter to him."

Ma Jin nodded and wrote it down.

The spy was worried, and reminded again: "If the matter is exposed, you must remember to take that sheep stone house out."

Ma Jin was puzzled and couldn't help asking: "Why? Is this person important?"

"Of course it's important!" The spy despises Ma Jin's ignorance, but whoever makes the other party's tricks better than him needs to rely on him more, so he can only explain to him patiently: "Don't underestimate Yang Shiwu. People. The Grand Duke is very interested in the water conservancy planning project that Bailuling is doing. In the past, Bailuling was such a barren place. It was extremely dry in summer and autumn, but it rained continuously in spring and early summer, and sometimes there were small floods and floods. The people in Bailu are so poor that they can hardly even pay taxes on the food they grow. But what about now?"

Ma Jin didn't understand the importance of water conservancy, but after hearing this, he also understood why the Grand Duke attached importance to Yangshiwu's mud legs.Which lord doesn't want his territory to be fertile and rainy, so that he can harvest a lot of food in autumn?

"So once the matter is revealed, you have to bring Yangshiwu out no matter what, and I will help you. Of course, if you can get Yan Ren, then don't talk about the Lord, a third-class baron will definitely run away not drop."

Ma Jin's heart became more and more heated by the spy's words, and he also remembered the name Yan Ren.

Shan Lie, who was eavesdropping secretly, squinted his eyes angrily, but this group of people have good eyesight.Yan Ren is not only talented, but also good-looking, with first-class character and high status. He is extremely popular among unmarried women in the territory. His sister is also interested in Yan Ren.

Shan Lie has long regarded Yan Ren as his brother-in-law, so he can't tolerate others' ideas about Yan Ren.

However, these spies were not very skilled, they only found out one Yanren, but ignored him Shanhun and his sister Shanlu, not to mention the lord Tang Bo and the young master Gu Ding.

In fact, it is all thanks to the lord Tang Bo that the territory can change so much, and there are so many good things that are better than Luma City.

Anyway, no one is convinced by Mountain Hunter, the only one who is convinced is Tang Bo.

Five years ago, he and his younger sister followed Tang Bo back to Bailuling. In fact, they looked down on this poor place. At that time, Bailuling was under construction everywhere, and the whole territory was messy and gray. Only one canal could be seen, but Wuyunling There is no shortage of water sources over there, how could the mountain hunter look at such a poor and small territory?

If it wasn't for Tang Bo's willingness to teach everyone the knowledge that only nobles can learn, if it wasn't for Tang Bo's broad-mindedness, he didn't care if there were god-favored people in his subordinates, and he didn't care if the god-favored people were in the first place, he couldn't help but take his sister away.

But when he was thinking about holding back and looking again, the change of Bailuling was just like his fantasy, almost every day.

Tang Bo constantly introduced new things, workshops were built, factories appeared, villages disappeared, residents concentrated, adobe houses and thatched houses disappeared, and what appeared instead were cement bricks that could live for tens or hundreds of years without breaking tile house.

Moreover, these houses, including factory buildings, have reserved sewers and sewers, and the sewers are spacious enough for people to leave, and they can also be used as escape tunnels if necessary.

The water canals that he despised before are connected to every household through the water supply, making it very convenient for people to get water.

I heard from the lord that in the future, we will have to bury water pipes and make hardware such as faucets. It will be more convenient to use water at that time. It's just that the craftsmen's skills are not up to date, so there is no arrangement for the time being.

The most important thing is that the development of the entire territory is well-organized, without the slightest sense of chaos, and the planning is even done ten years later.

Shanhun himself was not excluded. As an important high-level executive, he knew the development plan of the territory.

Therefore, he also knows more and more that the White Deer collar has unlimited vitality. As long as Tang Bo does not die, the future White Deer collar may become the White Deer Principality or even the White Deer Kingdom.

"Do it!" Shan Lie ordered immediately when he saw the spy coming out.

Immediately, some of the people who were ambushing inside and outside the hotel where Ma Jin was staying went in to arrest Ma Jin, and a few dexterous guys followed the spy.

Mountain Hunter was one of those who kept up with the spies.

He is in charge of the spy organization of White Hart Collar.

Including the majestic city wall of Sanshuling is also his masterpiece. To put it bluntly, it is an illusion, but it is a more realistic illusion, and it feels real to the touch, but this reality is only based on the original earthen city wall.

The high mountains and dense forests that suddenly appeared around Bailuling were all illusions. Tang Bo also instructed him to combine mountains, rocks, waterways and trees to make the illusions more real, and asked him to summarize the methods, saying that this is the formation.

Although Shanhun is smart, sometimes he can't understand what Tang Bo is saying.But what Tang Bo said was often very reasonable. He tried to sum it up and found that the illusion he created had the possibility of going further.

For example, on the west side of Bailuling, which is most likely to be captured by people, he followed Tang Bo's instructions and built a maze of trees, and then covered it with his abilities.

As a result, it turned into a super dense forest. No matter how powerful a person is, if he enters, he will never want to get out.

If more people were ambushed inside, it would really be able to swallow as many people as they came.

Of course, this dense forest maze also has weaknesses, such as fear of fire, but there are people ambushing in the dense forest. If someone sets fire, they will put out the fire in time, unless there is an army of more than [-] people.

Another point is that all these illusions depend on him, if he leaves the White Hart collar, these illusions will disappear.

Mountain Hunter didn't want to be detained in the White Deer Collar for the rest of his life, but he wasn't worried about it, because Lord Tang Bo and Lord Gu were already studying how to get the illusion out of him and fix it according to the magic circle of the demons. Methods.

This research is also inseparable from him. Not only is Mountain Hunter not disgusted, but he is also very welcome, because this research has also benefited him a lot.

Tang Bo has a saying that he remembers very firmly, that is: Any ability can be summarized into knowledge, and as long as it becomes knowledge, it can be widely used.If you can't sum it up, it's just that you haven't figured out the mechanism.

At present, Tang Bo's latest research is to transform the invisible and intangible "magic power" in the world into energy, and use the magic circle to realize various special abilities.

So it's not that Tang Bo doesn't want to build a stronger and safer city wall for the territory. He also wants to build cannons on the city wall, but isn't this because of insufficient time, insufficient manpower, and some technical problems?

If there is no mountain hunting, Tang Bo may build a small city wall first, but with mountain hunting, he can delay the construction of the city wall's funds, materials, manpower, etc., and develop other more important basic projects first. .

Such as alloy research, firearms research, and the development of farming areas, as well as the conversion and utilization of magic power.

He is so busy that he doesn't get enough sleep every day.

Early the next morning, Tang Bo received the latest report from Mountain Hunter.

Ma Jin was caught, and the spies and spies who came into contact with Ma Jin were also caught.

Mountain Hunter led spies and guards to sift through the entire Sanshu City again, and caught many spies sent by other territories.

These people are basically still alive, they will be secretly sent to work in coal mines, or coal mines that only criminals will enter.

The white deer collar lacks workers, Tang Bo is reluctant to send his collar people to do dangerous work, and he is also reluctant to let them suffer too much. These small jobs and criminals don't matter, it's not for nothing.

The governance there is much stricter than that of ordinary coal mines. The miners only eat two meals a day, and the meals are limited. They live in Datong shop, and they will be beaten if they make mistakes. not drop.

Run one, and everyone will die, or starve to death.

Ma Jin was also sent there. How could this young master have suffered such hardships, and he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed within five days.

But there is no one here to see a doctor for them.

Oh, there are still some, when Lord Gu Ding wants to try a new medicine, he will find these sick prisoners to test the medicine.Fortunately, you can continue to live.If you are unlucky, they will all turn into ashes in the corpse pit.

It's terrible, it's terrible here!Ma Jin was extremely regretful in a daze, and he didn't know how long such a hard life would last.

The matter of careful work is temporarily resolved, and Tang Bo also knows that this group of people is only the first batch, and Luma City will definitely send people over in a steady stream in the future, but at least give him a period of time.

Tang Bo began to plan the next step.

For any force to develop, apart from weapons and manpower, the most important thing is food.

Although the red taro collar was transformed into a grain planting area by him, the area is not too big, and the grain grown can now supply the entire Bailu collar and there is still a surplus.

But this is also because the population of Bailuling is not large. How much food can a population in the early [-]s eat in a year?

He needs more manpower, he needs more food, and he needs food reserves that can cope with war.

For this reason, Tang Bo set his mind on the primitive jungle in the east.

He went to check the land over there. The primeval forest covers a very large area, and the water and soil are very fertile, which is very suitable for transformation into good farmland.

He doesn't have high requirements, and he doesn't want to transform the entire primitive forest all at once. He chooses the push method, pushing tens of thousands of acres of land inward.

Transformation is not as simple as setting fire to it.

Trees in the primeval jungle can be cut down and used as wood materials.

The creatures inside can be used as meat reserves, or domesticated into livestock.It can also train soldiers.

Herbs can be used as medicinal material reserves.

And doing this, of course, requires a lot of manpower.

Tang Bo told Gu Ding: "This year we will increase the slave trade with Sita County. Before, we needed a thousand slaves a year, but this year we need at least 5 slaves."

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows: "It is impossible for Sita County to sell us so many slaves, and they don't have any. And if you dare to propose to buy so many slaves, they can immediately sell the news to Luma City."

"I know. So the Four Towers County deal is only part of it. We have to find people ourselves."

"Where can I find it?"

"disaster area."

As soon as Tang Bo's voice fell, the mountain hunter came.

"Several of the captured spies came from other tower counties, and one of them was from Sita county, the illegitimate son of the princess. He said he could do things for us. I used the illusion, and he was telling the truth."

"Oh? What did he say he could do?" Tang Bo asked.

Shan Lie took a sip of water, sat down and said: "He said that Princess Sita is old, and his sons have grown up, and they are fighting for the title and the position of princess. If we are willing to let him Go back and give him some support, he can make Sita County even more messy and help us take Sita County."

"He doesn't want to be the princess himself?" Gu Ding interjected.

The hunter shook his head: "He is an illegitimate child, the kind born of a slave. Because his mother was born beautiful, he was forced to give birth to him at the age of 14. Later, one of his elder brothers also took a fancy to his mother and wanted to force her. His father knew In the end, he just reprimanded his son, but tortured and killed his mother. His name is Douyu, and he inherited his mother's beauty. did some very bad things."

Tang Bo frowned: "Does his elder brother know that this is his younger brother?"

"I don't know. Princess Sita County has played with many slaves and has many illegitimate children. I don't know how many children I have, and most of his illegitimate children don't know that he is the father. When Douyu's mother died, Douyu was already three years old." , others thought that he couldn't remember things, but he actually had memories at that time. He hid in the cabinet and saw his father tortured and killed his mother with his own eyes. He also heard that his father ordered the servants to kill him. He ran away, A child, no one noticed, an old slave adopted him." Shan Lie sympathized with Douyu in his words.

Gu Ding scolded in a low voice: "These damn bastards!"

Shan Lie said with admiration: "When Dou Yu grows up, he knows how to use his own advantages to win the trust of the eldest son of Princess Sita County. At the same time, he also circles among other brothers and sisters. Inquire about other brothers and sisters, and help him sow discord among other brothers, in fact, he wants to kill all these bastards, especially Princess Sita. This is a person who can give everything for revenge."

"Then why was he sent to us?" Tang Bo asked again.

Shan Lie replied: "Because he 'helped' the boss to kill his two brothers. He was not an illegitimate son, but a serious young master of the princess. Douyu is good-looking and capable, and the young master was reluctant to kill Douyu Death, in order to avoid the limelight of the investigation, he was sent here. And Sita County will notice us, and it is also we who buy slaves from them every year, and the number is quite a lot, which has attracted their attention."

Tang Bo tapped the table with his fingers.

Gu Ding looked at him: "Do you think this person is trustworthy?"

Tang Bo only answered two words: "Available."

Tang Bo said to Shan Li again: "Tell Douyu that we are willing to use him and give him support. Regardless of whether he can cause chaos in Sita County, he can join Bailuling. Let him be under your command first. When doing things, you can take a good look at where he is talented. But you don’t need to tell him. You told me his detailed life experience. No one wants others to know that they have been bullied, especially when it comes to dignity. You have to tell him, only You alone know his detailed past. In White Hart Collar, he is a person who has turned his back on the dark, and no one knows his past. In this way, he can also settle down and take root in White Hart Collar."

Shan Hunter nodded knowingly.The backgrounds of him and his younger sister, Yamaga, are not all that good, they are both of the kind who will be gossiped, so he instinctively sympathizes with Douyu, who is similar to his background.

And Tang Bo said such words, which also made him more grateful and convinced Tang Bo.A leader who is willing to consider the dignity of his subordinates, if nothing else, at least he will respect you.

When the mountain hunter left, Gu Ding suddenly laughed: "Sleepy will give you a pillow. After we solve the problem of farmland and food reserves, the next step is to develop into Sita County."

According to the original plan, they connected the waterways of the four territories in order to use the big river sandwiched between the Red Taro Territory and the Hongshan Territory. That river leads directly to Sita County, and it is also the next one they plan to take. Target.

Tang Bo got up lazily, "Let's go, go and see our secret workshop and see how they are progressing."

Gu Ding jumped up, his eyes were particularly bright: "Do you want to take those treasures with you when you go out this time?"

Tang Bo patted his head: "Well, this time I can let you have enough fun."

"Great!" Gu Ding almost jumped up.

A year ago, Tang Bo set up a secret workshop specializing in the research of new weapons, which Tang Bo called magical weapons.

What is unexpected is that Gu Ding, who was originally only used as a guide for the magic array map, is extremely sensitive in weapon manufacturing. It can be said that Gu Ding's joining has speeded up the entire magic weapon development process by several times, and he has overcome many technical difficulties. .
