Du Yong chose a house near the county government. It was large in area and had a stable foundation, but it was burned in a bad shape as a whole, and it was the fire he set himself on.

There are no complete houses around the county government and they all need to be rebuilt. Although there are many complete houses in other places, the layout and solidity are average, and Du Yong does not want to live there.

Du Yong ordered: "Don't worry about anything else first, let's get the house ready. It's easier to do things if you have a nest."

The Yong family army responded one after another.

The jade man walked around the broken walls and analyzed: "Damn it all except the foundation, and then rebuild it. In this situation where you have to fight at any time, don't build wood, just use blue bricks."

Everyone agrees that it is really better to use blue bricks, and a wooden house cannot prevent fire.

Du Yong suggested: "Let's design first, and create some cellars and secret rooms. If someone else wants to make a move for Lingling and Qingyao, they also have a place to hide. I feel scared when I remembered the last kidnapping."

Lingling and Qingyao were very happy to see Du Yong care about their safety so much, and both said they wanted to participate in the design.

Yang Jin was very distressed: "Design is just a small matter, but the area is so large, and reconstruction is a big project. There are only more than 200 workers in the city, so we don't have a manpower."

Du Yong patted his chest: "I asked Nie Wentao to come out for twenty people, wait for Gao Qian and Boss Qu to come back, and then even out some soldiers and get enough fifty people to get together. That way, it will be built very quickly."

He Laosan frowned slightly: "Young master, that's not good, is it a bit of using power for personal gain?"

Du Yong snorted: "Can you speak? I will subsidize them with money. This is called actively uniting the people and soldiers. After I build the house at a speed, I can invest more energy in doing business for Huailicheng. This is for the sake of the overall situation."

Listening to such righteous words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Dahei was very supportive: "I think the young master is right!"

In the evening, Gao Qian and Boss Qu returned with the team. After meeting Du Yong, they had a lively celebration.

Du Yong congratulated the two brothers on their successful entry into the army and became lieutenants, wishing them to be promoted to the general of the cavalry as soon as possible.

Gao Qian and Boss Qu congratulated Du Yongxi on his promotion of the title and wished him a higher title.

In a joyful atmosphere, Du Yong mentioned the matter of rebuilding the house with them, hoping that some soldiers would come out.

Gao Qian immediately patted his chest and agreed: "Brother Du, don't worry about this. Even for Miss Lingling and Miss Qingyao, we have to build a good house. We have been inspecting for a few days and the surroundings are very quiet. Next, we can just divide small groups outside the city. Let's stay in the city for construction."

Boss Qu naturally had no objection: "Everything and every other thing needs to be done. There is nothing wrong with helping Brother Du to repair the house first, not to mention that Brother Du also gives additional subsidies for money."

Du Yong raised his glass: "Thank you, two brothers, I will respect you first!"

The three of them clinked their glasses and raised their heads and killed them with one mouthful. They were very heroic.

Lingling and Qingyao also raised their glasses to thank Gao Qian and Boss Qu. Gao Qian and Boss Qu laughed and drank another drink.

Du Yong wiped the corner of his mouth, looked at Boss Qu, and said curiously: "Boss Qu, why do you look at the silver? You didn't look like this before."

Boss Qu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Du is as keen as a wise man. Since I became the lieutenant of the Laoshizi Shaowu, I always want to make more money to improve the treatment of my brothers. I have 500 people under my command, all of whom are elite. The scenery is glory, but the pressure is also great."

Daheiqi said: "Isn't there any salary? The salary of elite troops is not low, right?"

Boss Qu sighed: "The salary is not low, but the situation in Ganzhou is so serious now, and all walks of life have been impacted. Many soldiers have to subsidize their families and their lives are wrinkled."

Gao Qian echoed: "It's really difficult recently. The general manager is still in the capital for money. Otherwise, with his temperament, he will rush back to the general manager's office after the report, and he will never waste time. Do you know that many of my brothers even yell to kill into the mountains because they can seize materials when they win the battle."

Speaking of this, Gao Qian looked at Du Yong and smiled and said, "After you take back Huaili City, you will burn so much food and supplies. The brothers are so distressed."

Du Yong smiled bitterly and sighed: "I will definitely not burn any chance of being saved."

Gao Qian waved his hand: "I didn't mean to blame you, it's just a pity."

He Laosan asked: "Captain Captain Qu, your two teams are considered special forces, how do you calculate the capture?"

Gao Qian replied: "Save all small amounts, and leave 20% of the large amounts."

Du Yong said, "It's very good."

Generally speaking, the first level of the lieutenant is not qualified to distribute spoils. All the seizes need to be handed over and distributed by superiors. It is impossible for 20% of the final distribution.

Boss Qu sighed: "It's pretty good, but what can it do? The key is that there is no chance of seizure now. It's basically impossible to go into the mountain to build a Feizi camp, and there is no nest of bandits in the surrounding towns. In the past few days, more than a dozen small bandits have been caught, but they don't even have a decent weapon, let alone silver."

Du Yong thought for a while and asked, "Does General Manager Nie allow you two to do business?"

Boss Qu and Gao Qian looked at each other and didn't understand why, so he asked: "Mr. Nie didn't say that he could do business, but he said that he could flexibly adjust his actions when necessary. It should be OK to do business. Is there any business to do?"

Du Yong shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but Huaili County is in chaos. As long as it stabilizes again, there will be business. If it is not good, you can reserve a few good land in the city, open a restaurant, a grocery store, or rent it directly."

Boss Qu's eyes lit up and he pinched his chin: "You have to make money by making the city prosperous again."

Du Yong nodded: "So we must actively cooperate with the magistrate Nie to make Huaili angry as soon as possible."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

After Nie Wentao finished his work, he entered the banquet, sat down and did not drink or eat vegetables, and drank happily in the teapot.

After drinking a pot, Du Yong handed him another pot and joked: "I said to the county magistrate, have you not drunk water all day?"

Nie Wentao drank another pot, then wiped his mouth with satisfaction and explained: "I've drunk it, I'm so thirsty. I'm now like a contractor, directing everywhere, and my voice is not enough."

Du Yong smiled and said, "Howling at the top of his throat, you will be thirsty. You have to make a loud noise!"

Nie Wentao was stunned: "What horn?"

Du Yong explained: "It's just a loudspeaker, which can be made of copper pieces. It's long, with a small hole and a wide bottom."

It is hard to explain clearly, Du Yong used firewood branches to draw a sketch on the ground and roughly explained the principle.

Nie Wentao stared at the sketch and nodded slightly, saying that he would go to make it tomorrow.

Next, we started chatting, and only talked about the construction of the city, protection, surrounding development, etc.

The biggest problem is the population, and no one is talking about anything.

Du Yong's suggestion was to set a place, so he started with the more than 200 workers in the city, setting an example to attract the people to return.

Nie Wentao smiled bitterly and said, "It is of course good to have a land, but most of the land around it is owned by landlords. Huaili County government accounts for a small proportion, so there is not so much land to have a land."

Pinyuren echoed: "Although the landlords left Huaili County, the land deeds in their hands were protected by the imperial court, and the county government had no right to deal with their land at will."

He knew the energy of the landlord because his father used to be a tenant at the landlord's house.

The royal family and all major families are landlords and all have large tracts of land, so the court must maintain the landlord class.

Although there is a lot of land in Huaili County and it is basically in a barren state now, the government has no right to deal with it unless the landlord nods. This is a real problem, and everyone looked at Du Yong.

Du Yong was so relaxed that he said lightly: "I'll say two points."

Everyone saw that he was so calm, they sat upright and listened attentively.

"First of all, when the Poison Scorpion gang was in riot, it massacred many wealthy families in Huaili County, including some landlords. Many of them were killed. This is of course sad, but according to the rules, the land of the extinct families needs to be redistributed by the government."

After listening, everyone nodded. There was indeed such a rule.

Du Yong raised two fingers: "Second, Feiziying was driven into the mountain. He has not dared to come out to cause trouble these days, but Huaili City has not even returned, which shows that the landlords are very optimistic about the situation in Huaili City, and may have the intention to sell the land. If someone takes over, their bid price should not be very high."

Everyone understands that this is to buy land from the landlord.

Nie Wentao smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it is sold at a low price, it still requires a large amount of money. Which fool would come to take over?"

Du Yong pointed at his nose: "I!"

So people are stunned.

Du Yong smiled and said, "I am a lord now, so it's normal for me to buy some land?"

Boss Qu looked at Du Yong a few times and chuckled, "Brother Du, although you are a lord and a rich young man, your savings should not be much, right?"

Du Yong looked at him with a faint smile on his lips and asked, "How do you know I don't have much savings?"

Boss Qu sneered: "Isn't this obvious? Your Du family has never been famous for being rich and noble. Moreover, you are only from the three-bedroom house of the Du family. The industry in your hands is definitely limited. Although you have been in the business for a while, the salary and bonus are probably not enough for your daily expenses."

Du Yong grabbed his head and looked at Yang Jin: "Butler Yang, does our family have a lot of daily expenses?"

Yang Jin pretended to do it and chuckled, "It's not a lot, but it can't be said to be less."

Boss Qu snorted, "What's not a lot? For example, Brother Yang, Pinyu, Lao San, Dahei, you guys, always ignite the hottest girls when you go to brothels and drink the best wine. I envy them. For example, Miss Lingling and Miss Qingyao, their daily clothes are at the level of aristocratic and young ladies, and they have many condoms, which is expensive, right?"

After listening, Yang Jin and others laughed loudly, and Lingling and Qingyao were a little embarrassed.

Du Yong chuckled and scolded: "Okay, Boss Qu, you actually observed Lingling and Qingyao so carefully, and you all know the clothes and jewelry. What's your intention? Do you want to dig me into a corner?"

"Feel sorry!"

Boss Qu raised his hand to surrender amid the laughter of the crowd and explained: "It's all Miss Lingling and Miss Qingyao that are so eye-catching, even if you don't observe carefully, it will be very impressive."

After saying that, he bowed to Qingyao and Lingling, full of sincerity.

Lingling and Qingyao also have the style of a gangster and children. They waved their hands with a smile and said that it doesn't matter.

After the joke, Nie Wentao kept his hands tightly. After everyone was quiet, he said lightly: "Du Yong, continue to the topic!"

Du Yong nodded: "Where did you say just now?"

Nie asked and complained: "What's your memory? I just said that you want to buy land."

"right!"

Du Yong patted his forehead and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, let's do this. You can send someone to collect information about all the landlords in Huaili County to see who are willing to sell the land. I try to buy some and rent it to the people at a low price. I think the remaining land can be discussed with the landlords, and ask them to be managed by the county government, and rent it to the people by the county government. Put more effort to promote it, attract the people back first, and resume production as soon as possible. Whether it is farming, working, or doing business, people are needed."

Speaking of this, Du Yong raised his voice: "Give the people confidence is very important. On weekdays, we should strengthen patrols outside the city, draw out land in the city to build collective dormitories so that the people can go to the city to take refuge at any time. These should be promoted with the focus."

Nie Wentao nodded frequently when he heard this. Although Du Yong didn't say it in detail, he was all about the idea.

Gao Qian said in a deep voice: "We have to urge the General Administration to transfer the remaining thousand elites as soon as possible to enhance Huaili's protection. The people will also increase their confidence when they see it."
