Chapter Twenty-Six: The Noble Son

The cool breeze is like water, and when you leave the government after talking, it is already sunset and dusk.

Sun Dujian sent her all the way to the gate of the mansion, Jing Ning pondered for a moment, and asked, "How many soldiers are there in the military camp now?" ”

"Probably...... Close to two thousand people. ”

Two thousand? She thought it again, and her expression was not relaxed. The fixed number of people in Pingcheng is about 9,000 people, and if you add the merchants and passers-by who come and go on weekdays, it is only enough to exceed 10,000 people. But such a small town that is not bustling has nearly 2,000 soldiers.

Ten husbands and one soldier are considered normal, but now this is clearly a long-term redundancy.

Pingcheng is still a long distance from the border of Daqi, and it is surrounded by mountains in the north, so there is no war with the outside world. There was no riot in the city, and the people, although they were simple but healthy, how could they have so many soldiers in the barracks.

She knew in her heart that once the army was redundant, not to mention that the effect of army training was not as expected, the money invested in the army every month alone was not a small amount.

For the already impoverished Pingcheng, any amount of money is crucial.

Seeing her standing in the wind without saying a word, Sun Dujian couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Lord Hui, but what's wrong?" ”

Naturally, there is something wrong, but now it is on the cusp of her taking office, and this matter is not in a hurry, so let's follow the previous arrangement for the time being.

However...... "Give me a copy of the deployment of the barracks, and I'll find a time to look at it later." ”

After speaking, she got into the carriage, she had not had a good rest for three days, and today was another day of government affairs, she was already exhausted, and she began to close her eyes and recuperate by leaning on the inner wall of the carriage.

The evening sky is smeared with a strong sunset, and the faint and slowly fades outward, and the quiet streets of the afternoon begin to come alive at this moment.

The sound was too noisy, and he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he simply opened his eyes, lifted a corner of the car curtain, and looked at the life of the people in this flat city.

Compared to Huai'an City in Kyoto, it is indeed too simple. The location of Pingcheng is too far away, and it is not a vital point, so it cannot be paid attention to by all parties. Whether it's doing business, making a living, or coming here for a certain point, Heijo can't attract the attention of others.

There is nothing surprising, how to win favor.

It seems that she has to find a way to find a breakthrough.

Thinking like this, she gradually had a plan in her heart, and was about to lower the curtain of the car, but her eyes casually glanced at the place, but she shouted to stop in surprise.

Tingbai instantly grabbed the reins and asked puzzled, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

She poked her head out and pointed with her hand, "What's going on over there!" ”

In one of the alleys of the street, there sat a dozen poor people in rags, miserable and unkempt, like embarrassed refugees who had survived the catastrophe.

How could there suddenly be so many homeless people nesting in that alley, but no one cares.

Tingbai was obviously accustomed to such a scene, he turned around and replied, "It's the people outside the city who have encountered bandits, and there are bandits outside Pingcheng City, which are very rampant, and the adults have repeatedly killed and arrested them before to no avail." These people are uncertain, and they always come out from time to time to cause trouble, rob the people's belongings, and burn their houses, so that in a while, a group of exiles will come into the city. ”

"Then why don't you help them, just let them be exposed to the wind and sun at the mouth of that alley?"

Hearing Bai was also helpless, "Zhou Tongju has already sent someone to help them rebuild the house, but ...... I can't do it overnight, so I have to wronged them to stay here for two or three days......"

"Ridiculous!" Jing Ning was angry and reprimanded, "Knowing that it will happen in a period of time, why don't you have a remedy first in case you need it." Knowing that bandits are rampant, why is the discipline of the army still so loose and capricious. The most important thing is whether it has become a common practice to deal with this matter in this way, otherwise why is there no mention of this matter in the compromise I have read today! ”

It was the first time she had been so angry, and she was no longer as calm as she had been. The behavior may be able to save a lot of trouble for officials, but it is a fatal blow to the people, they are desperate to ask for help, but the government has no way at all, how not to make people feel cold.

She knew that there were bandits in Pingcheng, and the north side was close to the mountain, which was conducive to the bandits to hide, but she didn't expect it to be such an unspeakable situation.

Listening to Bai Cheng's anger, there was nothing to refute. When the lord was in power before, at most he gave the homeless people a place to live, and there was really nothing they could do about the bandits.

Looking up and seeing Jing Ning getting out of the carriage, he was puzzled, "Where is Miss going?" ”

Jing Ning didn't look back, and walked straight, "You go back to the house first, and I'll go see them." ”

It was all some old, weak, sick and disabled people, plus a few children, Jing Ning could even hear some coughing sounds when he walked in front of them, I was afraid that it was caused by the cold wind and freezing in the morning and evening......

She crouched down and looked at a bony lady, sleepily leaning against the stone wall and falling asleep. The shadows in the corners of his eyes are deep, and his face is covered with dirt and gray, presumably his family was originally very poor, but now it is even worse.

"Girl, could you please let me go a little?" A clear voice behind her pulled her thoughts back, and Jing Ning looked sideways to see that a handsome man in a blue Confucian robe was standing behind her with a bowl of things, with a warm smile on his face.

The handsome boy should be like this, and the rolling streamer should be heard. She didn't know if such a description was appropriate, but it was undeniable that the man in front of her really amazed her at first sight.

is different from the prince Xiao Yan's indifference, Song Boyan's calm and elegant, and Jiang Hongsheng's arrogance, this person is as clear and chic as Yushan, and peerless.

In Pingcheng, when did such a noble boy come?
