Wang Hebin's words made Gu Qi's face a little heavy. From the south of Yuzhou to Yuzhong, there are too many counties and towns to pass along the way, and the current manpower of Sihai is not enough to ensure that there are enough convoys for each round trip. The value of force is used to escort the escort, and when necessary, it is necessary to reduce the number of concentrated manpower for transportation to ensure the safety of the goods.But this will also encounter two problems accordingly. First, if the concentration of manpower does not increase the number of escort cars, the supply of goods in the Four Seas Market will inevitably drop rapidly.However, if the number of escort cars is increased at the same time as the concentration of manpower, the risk will also increase significantly in the same proportion.

"How many servants are available in the county?" Gu Qi retreated and asked the next best thing.

"Including the sporadic calls from the surrounding counties, there are more than a hundred people." He Yong said.

At least [-]% of these people must be kept in the county to maintain order in order to prevent chaos and panic caused by a series of subsequent disasters. Damaged houses, blocked official roads, and the rescue and transfer of victims.

There are only a few dozen people who can really be used, which is too small.

Judging from the current departure speed of the Four Seas Escort, the average number of guards assigned to each convoy is less than five. With this manpower, the deterrent effect on the rogues and disaster victims along the road, as well as other counties, towns and counties is too low.

What's more, most of the yamen servants working in the city of Lushan County are recruited later. The proportion of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled is not low. worth it.

Wang Hebin quickly figured out the key point, and asked in amazement, "Qi Shaodong's family wants to pick the servants and bodyguards to deliver the goods together?"

Gu Qi got up and exchanged hot tea for the three of them, and asked after a while, "I don't need an officer, but I need the official uniform and token of the officer. If only these two things are needed, how much can the government give?"

"There are spares in the warehouse. At least two or three hundred sets can be taken out. As for the tokens, they are all registered in the register. You get one piece when you join the job, and you need to take it back and destroy it after you leave the job. Only the existing yamen servants have it."

"As long as the public service is enough, the token doesn't necessarily need a manpower, that's enough." Now that Wang Hebin has made it clear, and saves the trouble of talking, Gu Qi said bluntly: "There is no need to use the guards of the county government, but The official clothes and tokens need to be seconded to the bodyguards from all over the world for temporary use."

"This!" He Yong immediately understood Gu Qi's meaning, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "This...I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Qi Fei actually wanted his subordinates to use the public service token for private use. It is too courageous for someone to pretend to be an official.

Gu Qi's expression was flat: "I am in a hurry to follow the authority. This matter needs to be decided by the two adults and Lord Liu."

Wang Hebin took a sip of tea, got up and paced back and forth around the stove, this matter is not difficult to handle, Yuzhou along the road south, Qi Shaodong's request is reasonable.It's just that this matter is a violation of the rules. If it is known by someone with a heart, it may become a handle to restrict Mr. Liu. Since he and He Yong have participated in it, once the incident happens, it will naturally be unavoidable.

It doesn't matter to me, at worst, I will give up this official robe, at worst, it will be a situation where my head falls to the ground.But Master Liu...

Thinking that Liu Shouzheng had been planning to be transferred from the Yuzhou government within the year, Wang Hebin became a little unsure.

"Is there no other way?" He Yong also felt that this matter might not be done.

Gu Qi shook his head: "All the available personnel under my command have already been used, and now I really can't find any extra personnel, even if I go to other state capitals to recruit bodyguards at this time, I'm afraid it won't take long. The method can be recruited enough to be used. Moreover, the difficulty in Yuzhou can not only be solved by sufficient manpower, if it can be escorted in the name of a servant, it can save a lot of trouble."

"In addition, apart from the official uniform and the token, I have one more thing that I need to ask the two adults for help."

"Shaodong Qi just say it."

"Starting tomorrow, I will transfer all the available manpower in the Zhuangzi to the Escort Bureau. In this way, the daily order maintenance of the three commercial markets in the county, as well as the management and control of the farms outside Xiahetang Village, Wangjia Village, and Luoshan Village may not be comprehensive. At that time, the government will need to arrange servants to help Qi take care of one or two."

"This is what it should be." He Yong said: "Don't worry, Master Qi, from tomorrow onwards, no matter whether it is the three commercial markets in the county or the property of Qi Shaodong's farm outside the city, the government will arrange enough servants to inspect regularly and at fixed points. It can guarantee that Qi Shaodong's property is safe and sound in Lushan County."

Wang Hebin also nodded: "If there is any trouble, Qi Shaodong's family can just let the shopkeeper go to the government office to find the official."

"It's the same for me." He Yong added.

The rain in Yuzhong was even worse than everyone expected, and the torrential rain did not ease until the afternoon of the second day.At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, taking advantage of the falling rainfall, Gu Qi sent people to escort He Yong and Wang Hebin back to the county town, and at the same time he took Jiang Ping and Li Hou to the outside of the village.

The terrain of Xiahetang Village presents a shallow slope from south to north. Most of the houses in the village are located in the southwest and southeast. It is half a foot higher than other places, and a few low-lying houses and houses next to the mountains have also moved the villagers inside to other empty houses in advance under the arrangement of Village Chief Li, so the heavy rain last night Although it was big, it did not cause too much loss to the villagers of Xiahetang Village.

The reason outside the city is the wasteland, and there are three main canals to divert water to quickly drain the rainwater and the rising water level of the lower river pond to the cliff. When Gu Qi led Jiang Ping and Houzi out of the village, they saw And the torrent is rushing fast, and the sound of the water is shocking.

Even though the momentum is huge, it is not completely without footholds. In addition, Gu Qi and the others are all skilled, and they quickly walked to the cliff by stepping on the scattered and scattered stones.

At this time, the cliff with a width of six feet has changed from a trickling mountain stream to a surging waterfall.

Jiang Ping leaned forward to look down, then closed his eyes for a moment and turned around, unwilling to look again.

A few days ago, there was occasional smoke from the kitchen. The quiet and simple village turned into a swamp in just one night, and large areas of low and old yellow mud houses collapsed and submerged.As for the fields near the village, they couldn't even see their shadows.

"Wangjiacun... is this gone?" Monkey's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

This is a village that took a lot of money just a few days ago, and it was submerged in a blink of an eye.The monkey swallowed his saliva, and looked at Gu Qi worriedly, but Gu Qi looked calm, as if he had expected it.
