From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 44 Qi Zhongji Meets Duke Ming

The housing construction area was divided by Zhao Tai after looking at the terrain.

Just like marching and fighting, you must have a good location when you are stationed in a camp.

As long as the army still fights on the ground, whether it is ancient times or later generations with tanks and personnel carriers.

It is impossible to build a camp in a sewer, or in a dangerous place where disasters will occur.

Over the past dynasties, such things as water attacks and fire attacks have not been rare.

Building a house is the same, even more particular, so Zhao Tai pointed out an area to build a house after looking at the terrain.

If you don't understand military affairs or construction, you won't be able to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and also don't understand.

In the housing area, as Gao Ai said, there are already more than 40 built houses towering up in a row, like a dormitory.

When Zhao Tai and Gao Ai walked over, the farmer greeted them respectfully, but they didn't see the gentleman Gao Ai was talking about.

"Mr. seems to have taken someone to the east, and he said that he found something that can solve the problem of water."

This is what the craftsman told Zhao Tai, and he could hear that the gentleman had already been respected by the farmer, so maybe Zhao Tai didn't know the existence of the other party.

Zhao Tai was thoughtful, but said nothing and just walked east.

And that place is where the reservoir is built. Isn't water being filled into it all the time? Why did the other party say it can solve the water problem?

Zhao Tai's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the water situation in this place.

The reservoir must be fine, the problem is the source of the water.

It is all pumped from the Yinma River at the foot of the mountain, and it is no problem in peacetime.

But if a war breaks out and the water pump is discovered and destroyed by the enemy, it is equivalent to cutting off the water source.

If the other party can really solve it now, then it can't be ignored.

At the foot of a small hill, there were a dozen people holding ropes in their hands, as if there was something heavy underneath.

There is a thin middle-aged man next to him who is giving instructions. He has a short beard twirled in his hand and his eyes are bright.

Even wearing coarse sackcloth can hardly conceal its demeanor.

Zhao Tai has heard that people who have read poetry and books are naturally elegant, but he can't see it from middle-aged people.

It is said that he is like a scholar, more like a researcher.

Zhao Tai looked at the middle-aged man, and also looked at the dozen or so people who were pulling up the rope, pulling them up together while shouting.

Seeing Zhao Tai standing still, Gao Ai was about to say something when Zhao Tai raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait, wait until all the personnel in front are done, don't disturb at this time."

He guessed that the person pulling the rope was a person who went underground to investigate the situation.

It is related to water, that is, there is a cave hidden underground, but the water storage capacity is not known.

Underground rivers may be able to travel to high places because of the mystery of heaven and earth, but there is no such thing as the Montenegro Mountains.

So it can only be a karst cave, because it is underground, and it can have the characteristics of converging into a lake.

Of course, many caves are only wet and will drip everywhere. If there is a gap, the water cannot be preserved.

After a while, someone climbed up along the entrance of the cave, as if they had been soaked in water.

Wherever he stood, he was dripping water and shivering when the wind blew, but the expression on his face was very excited.

Without thinking, Zhao Tai knew that the underground cave had abundant water storage.

Of course, no matter how abundant the groundwater is, it is useless without a pump. Obviously, the solution to the water problem is based on the ability to take out the water for use.

"You go and build a fire to keep warm for those who go down the cave. Zhaowei will accompany me to meet this gentleman."

Zhao Tai stepped forward, and when he was approaching, he took off his outer robe and put it on the man who went down the cave with his own hands.

For a while, he was at a loss, flustered and didn't know how to speak.

"It's cold in winter, so don't get sick. You and the over ten thousand people here have made contributions, and each will be rewarded with ten catties of grain. You will be rewarded with twenty catties of grain for going down the danger."

Everyone exclaimed with joy, and all saluted to thank Zhao Tai for his gift.

This is Zhao Tai's brilliance, he doesn't ask what the situation is like below, anyway, no matter how bad it is, there must be water.

Then why not care about people first, and then care about things.

People come first, things come after, which not only embodies his clear rewards and punishments, but also embodies benevolence and righteousness.

And going down into a hole like this is an unknown and dangerous place, and your life may be in danger just by going down.

Who benefits is he and his territory.

Whether it is dangerous or not, these people may not pay much attention to it, and even think it is no big deal.

But Zhao Tai wants to tell everyone that as long as you do things for me and work hard with your life, you will be rewarded.

In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, are you afraid that no one will rush to do it?
There is no need for Zhao Tai to do anything, as long as these people spread the news, it will have the effect of embarrassing wood and establishing trust.

"Vendor Master, the villain dare not be greedy for merit in this matter. We only contributed a little effort to discover the matter of the cave, and we should not be rewarded by the Villa Master."

The soaked man just thought he had done something, and the credit should not be his.

What a simple idea, even now he doesn't think it's meritorious service.

"Mr. is the first meritorious service. How dare I forget that when you live, you only think that your efforts are useless, but if you are injured or even lose your life, can you say that you have not achieved success?"

"Don't need to say too much, since you have ventured into the water to explore the water, you will be rewarded."

This is also the reason when everyone thinks about it. They looked at Zhao Tai with more conviction, and they made up their minds that such meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and they will never shirk in the future.

"Ming Gong, the fire has been lit."

It's definitely not that fast to make a normal fire. You need to use flint or steel.

For the sake of convenience, Zhao Tai brought a lot of lighters, and each of the personal guards had one.

"Take everyone to warm up, I have something to talk to my husband."

The personal guard walked aside with the farmer, only Gao Ai stood behind him.

At this time, Gao Ai was like a log, concentrating on acting as a guard.

Only the thin middle-aged man has been paying attention to Zhao Tai's every word and deed since he appeared.

When he went to care about the farmer first, he didn't respond. Instead of being angry, he nodded slightly and stroked his beard.

At least he agreed with Zhao Tai's way of doing things, and he could also guess his intention.

Now that the two sides were standing face to face, the middle-aged man had already withdrawn his gaze and bowed to Zhao Tai.

"The owner of the villa is benevolent, fair and clear in dealing with things, I'm afraid it won't take long to spread the word to the ears of the local people, and the audience will love him."

The so-called benevolence and justice are the hearts of the people. This is the basic quality that a leader must possess. No matter how bad it is, he must be rewarded and punished clearly.

It is obvious that Zhao Tai has done both, and has been recognized by the middle-aged man.

"I am very lucky to be praised by my husband. However, I dare not forget my husband's first contribution. Looking at his talents, how can he work in the fields like a common man? I want to take him as the manager of the village, but I don't know what he wants?"

This is to ask him to come out to help him. Generally speaking, Zhao Tai still values ​​him a bit, after all, he lacks civil servants to manage him now.

The other party thought about it for a moment, and then saluted Zhao Tai solemnly.

"Yuyang Qi Zhou, Qi Zhongji pays homage to Duke Ming."

Zhao Tai didn't expect that the other party would recognize the master so simply, and at the same time, he had a lot of doubts about Qi Zhou.

After all, it seems to have popped up out of nowhere, which doesn't make sense.

If it weren't for the favorability value on his head, and the binding of identifying the master would be fine.

He was really worried if this person would make trouble.

But in any case, let's accept it first.
