Speaking of which, when Steward Lu, in the name of Yong Ning Prince's Mansion, and Yong Hua County's magistrate, Song Ji, jointly wrote a letter to the prefecture to recruit young men as soldiers to resist the threat of Li Qin, the traitor, they were shocked.
After that, the bailiffs went out to inform all the gentry and influential families in the county town to gather.
Two hours later, it was still the back hall of the county government. There were a total of thirteen local gentry and despotic families. Each family had a thousand hectares of fertile land and was extremely wealthy. They were the richest of the rich.
At this moment, they had all rushed over.
"Lord Song, isn't it the government's responsibility to eliminate the rebels? What do you mean by we have to do our part?”
"It's better for you to call the Changde Guard's Thousand Households Chen to lead the troops over and wipe out the rebels.”At this moment, the back hall of the county government was filled with a group of rich and noble people dressed in silk and satin. At this moment, one of them had a mean face, and his eyes were as small as hemp. Occasionally, a sly light flickered in the depths of his eyes, giving people the feeling that he was plotting against them.
And this person, he really had a resounding nickname called Nero Zhou. He was meticulous in everything he did and was even more heartless to the people.
"Master Cai is right."
"Yeah…"
"Yes, I am." Immediately, Nero Zhou took the lead to reject Song Ji's call. The others shook their heads and agreed without even thinking.
Therefore, these people would not shed tears until they saw the coffin unless Li Qin's knife was placed on their necks. Now, if they were asked to send someone out, it would be like cutting their flesh and letting their blood flow. It was too difficult. It would be difficult to ascend to the heavens.
Of course, Song Ji was also a gentry. How could he not know how ridiculous it was to make these people work for nothing with just a word from him?
Unless there was an exchange of benefits.
Therefore, he glanced at Steward Lu of the Yongning Prince's mansion. The meaning in his eyes was: You will convince them.
Steward Lu, who was beside him, received Song Ji's signal with his eyes. He also nodded and stood up.
" Lord Song, bad news..." Suddenly, Steward Lu stood up. Everyone's eyes were intertwined on him, waiting to see what he was going to say. At this moment, an extremely frightened and anxious voice sounded from afar.
In an instant, Song Ji and Steward Lu's expressions changed, and their hearts sank. They could see the panic in each other's eyes.
"Captain Lin, what's going on? Are the rebels going to attack the county?”A frightened voice rang out. At this moment, Song Ji looked at a bailiff who ran in quickly with a pale face and asked anxiously.
This person had been sent by Song Ji to observe the situation at the Ten Mile Slope, or to monitor the movements of Li Qin's forest.
"Milord, it's a ghost city. It's too terrifying. A few brothers and I were ordered by Milord to check out the situation over there.”
"When we get there, we don't dare to directly monitor the other party, but we are familiar with that area. We will climb the Kui Mountain in the west and then stand on the mountain and look down.”At this time, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and began to explain the cause to Song Ji and the others with an extremely frightened expression.
Of course, Class Head Lin was also trembling a little. He didn't get to the key point for a long time, which made Song Ji and the others also shocked. Their hearts were fluctuating.
Then, he took a deep breath of cold air, and his eyes contracted intensely. He did not hide the shock in his eyes as he continued,"And when we stood on the mountain and secretly looked down, do you know what we saw?”
At this moment, a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere was created. At this moment, the entire back hall was deathly silent. Everyone did not dare to breathe loudly. Their expressions were solemn as they stared intently at Class Head Lin, waiting for him to continue.
At this moment, the corners of Class Head Lin's mouth twitched. He was obviously thinking of a terrifying scene. His eyes widened in horror, and his terrified voice sounded incoherent."At that time, we saw a pile of stone outside the forest. Then, more than 20 expressionless people walked out from the depths of the forest. They were men and women, and they were all hammering the stone. No matter what, on the stone, there was a tall city wall rising from the ground.”
"A city wall over ten kilometers long and nearly three meters tall. It appeared right before our eyes in the blink of an eye, not even two hours. It's too strange and terrifying.”
"Therefore, when I escaped back to report to you, the southern city wall had already been completely built. As for the other directions, we couldn't see them, but they should be about the same.”
"Sir, that is a ghost city. It looks like it was created by demons and ghosts. It is too terrifying, too terrifying.”
By the end of his sentence, Head Sergeant Lin's face had turned deathly pale. Other than the few words that came out of his mouth, he no longer knew how to describe the strange scene that he had seen.
After all, in ancient times, to build a city wall, just look at Qin Shihuang's Great Wall. It was built with bones as the foundation and paved with flesh and blood. The price was really shocking.
Alright, the Great Wall of China was located on some dangerous terrain and high mountains. Therefore, the cost of building a city was hundreds of times more difficult than building a city on a plain, as well as a huge amount of resources.
However, with Li Qin's Empire Era System, as long as he had stones, he could build four walls in the north, south, east, and west outside his forest. Due to the terrain, he only built three gates for his city. The mountain at the back did not need a gate at all.
However, even so, such a large project could not be completed without a labor force of more than tens of thousands of people working day and night, and it would take a few months or more.
But Li Qin did it.
