Wang Ren raised his hand to stop what Yu Hualong was going to say next.
He stood up, lowered his head and clasped his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in the room, his mind spinning rapidly.
There are advantages to not moving to Majiazhuang.
Now that Majiazhuang is raising this group of hungry and squealing refugees, the county does not need to worry about it.
Just keep the fat fish and eat it slowly in the future. Sooner or later, it will all be in his pocket.
Although you can get a lot of wealth by moving to Majiazhuang.
The consequences are unpredictable.
If the refugees have no fixed place to live, they will rush to the county to beg and refuse to leave.
If a few more people die, it will easily cause trouble.
At this critical juncture, even if someone died, he would have to walk around without food.
On the other hand, Cheng Chumo, a stupid young man, has an intersection with Majiazhuang. Now, if he touches Majiazhuang, Cheng Chumo will be offended.
To move or not to move?
Wang Ren became entangled in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, and with the look of expectation on Yu Hualong's face, Wang Ren made up his mind and said.
/p>
Yu Hualong looked excited and his short beard trembled.
"Remember, just test it, don't make a big fuss."
"I understand."
...
The county magistrate’s residence.
Except for a few large old wooden beams that are worth a lot of money, the other items are not much different from ordinary people's homes.
Ma Zhou had been crouching at the desk for a long time, and the pen he raised in his hand could not be found for a long time.
Yesterday, he received an order from the state government to each county, asking him to think of a way to deal with the locust plague.
Although crops in Longmen County are also affected by locusts, they are within a controllable range.
However, the locust plague that breaks out in various places will affect Longmen County sooner or later.
Ma Zhou thought of some measures, but after thinking about them, he still felt they were not good.
"Hey!"
Putting down the pen in his hand, Ma Zhou sighed heavily.
In a troubled time, but without the ability to turn the tide, I wasted ten years of hard study.
"Knock~knock~"
There were several knocks on the door outside the study, and only an old voice was heard.
"Sir, it's time to eat. If you don't eat for a day, your body won't be able to survive."
Ma Zhou suddenly froze and sat up straight, his face suddenly enlightened.
"Eat!"
This word was exactly what he thought, but he didn't know how to eat it and whether it would poison people.
I thought that when it came to food, Wang Jian from Majiazhuang was a master-level figure.
So he stood up and hurriedly put on his shoes and shouted.
"Get your horses ready quickly, I'm going to Majiazhuang!"
The sun was setting in the west, and wisps of smoke came out of Majiazhuang.
A group of young women picked vegetables and cooked in a sweet voice.
On the ridge of the fields, the girls from the breeding and planting farms also walked back talking and laughing.
Some women also sang "Exploring the Qingshui River" with a sweet and sweet voice.
In a simple book school, a group of children, large and small, finished reciting "Compassion for the Peasants" in unison.
When the teacher announced the end of school, these little guys who could not wait for a long time, pushed me and rushed out.
Those who shout loudly and make a lot of noise.
On the podium, an elegant old gentleman looked at these energetic children with pleasure.
Lao Tietou’s exclusive blacksmith shop.
Several middle-aged blacksmiths were hammering a piece of iron, which could be vaguely seen as the prototype of a plain knife blade.
Wang Jian and Ma Sanye stood in front of a large iron frame, staring directly at a simple knife mounted on it.
Both are broadswords, but the shapes of Pu Dao and Yanyue Dao are quite different.
The blade of the Yanyue Knife is curved, suitable for chopping and sweeping.

Only those with tall stature and strong arms can take advantage of the Yanyue Sword.
The blade of the Pu Dao is straight, with a sharp edge at the front, which can be used for both cutting and thrusting.
For those who are thin and have little strength, a simple knife is more practical.
Old Tietou took off the simple knife from the iron stand and carefully stroked the back of the knife as if looking at a handicraft.
He had a proud and arrogant expression on his face.
"I have been forging iron all my life and forging weapons all my life. This is the first time I have made such a perfect one."
"The Pu Dao is five feet seven inches long and heavy. It weighs eight pounds and is made of hundreds of refined steel. It is indestructible and can be used as thin as mud."
"It can be used on horseback and on foot, and it is easy for ordinary men to use it."
After you finish speaking, demonstrate it yourself.
Old Tietou held the knife in both hands and struck hard at the wooden stake in front that was used to test the knife.
"Crack~"
The wooden pile was cut diagonally, and the joints of the broken wood were very smooth.
The blade is still smooth and flat, with no curling or chipping.
"What a sword!"
"Master Xu's sword is still young. It's as powerful as those gangsters in the escort!"
Ma San My eyes are shining, I can't help itGive a compliment.
"I'm so old, my old waist is almost flashing now."
The old man waved his hands and said without blushing or out of breath.
Wang Jian took the simple knife from Lao Tietou's hand, and after some evaluation, he found that the knife was 1.7 meters long, the blade was 1 meter long, and the handle was 70 centimeters long.
The handle of the knife is carved with some complex patterns to increase friction during use and prevent the weapon from colliding and falling off.
After seeing the effect of Pu Dao, Wang Jian was very satisfied.
Walking out of the blacksmith shop, Wang Jian said to the old iron head next to him.
"Master Tietou, the forging process of the Pu Dao must be treated with the highest confidentiality requirements. The wages of the masters involved in the forging will be doubled."
"In the past few days, we have been working hard to create Pu Dao. Knife, equip the guards with weapons as soon as possible."

"There are more and more bandits in surrounding counties. Although they haven't attacked us yet, it will be hard to say later."
"Gulu~Gulu~"
Lao Tietou took a big gulp of wine, and after finishing it, he said confidently.
"Don't worry, I will finish it for you on time."
Lao Tietou followed Wang Jian's suggestion and divided the production and forging process into several steps, with different people responsible for only one of them. link.
Not only the production efficiency is greatly improved, but also the confidentiality is good.
"Brother~Brother!"
Yaodan's voice came from afar.
Wang Jian looked up and saw Yao Dan running over with a few little kids.
Several children wore uniform blue shorts and round-neck short sleeves.
This is the uniform costume designed by Wang Jian for the students of the school.
Yaodan's ruddy face was covered with a layer of dense sweat, and he was holding a half-eaten chicken leg in his hand.
The other children looked at the chicken drumstick in Yao Dan’s hand eagerly, secretly swallowing their saliva greedily.
The people in Majiazhuang are very kind to Yao Dan, giving him priority in everything delicious and drinkable.
Wang Jian has said many times that there is no need to give Yao Dan special treatment.
But every time I saw Yaodan, he was either carrying a chicken leg or other delicious food, so I just let them get it.
Squeezing Yaodan’s slightly rounder face, Wang Jian asked curiously, “Why are you so anxious to find Big Brother?”
“Hu~hu~ It’s the county magistrate. I'm here, I have something to ask my brother."
"Where is Magistrate Ma?"
"In... the conference room of the Manufacturing Bureau."
< p> Wang Jian was a little curious. Ma Zhou had just taken office and had a lot of things to deal with, so why did he come here for no reason.I came here at noon to discuss something. It’s almost night now and the road is not safe.I guess there must be something big to say.
"Okay, big brother, go over now. You tell Sister Lian that I won't be going over for dinner later. Please don't wait for me."
"Okay, I'll go now. "Say."
Yaodan started running again before he could catch his breath.
