"Trailblazer"

So far, Wang Lanling has seen many pioneers.

"Okay, tell them, I'll go over now."

Since you're here to find yourself, let's see it.

Xiao Ai quickly went to prepare the horse, the snow on the road has been cleared for a while, and she can already drive on the road, but it is more convenient to ride a horse.

Wang Lanling soon rode to the county office, and a team of hundreds of people gathered at the gate of the county office.

These people were dressed in shabby, dirty and dirty clothes, and wore dogskin and sheepskin hats on their heads, and many of them had very bad complexions, the kind of swarthy faces on the plateau, and the red cheeks of frostbite on their faces.

The high-headed horse stopped in front of the county government, even though Wang Lanling's horse had been domesticated for a long time, he was still a little uneasy when he saw these people, as if he had seen a thief.

Not only dogs will look down on people, but horses will also be aware of danger when some people in tattered clothes approach.

Wang Lanling didn't know what the reason was, so he tried his best to hold the reins at this time to quiet the mount.

Because of the sound of the horses, the people inside quickly came out.

Hu Zhong walked quickly to Wang Lanling, grabbed the horse rope with one hand, and calmed the constantly shaking horse.

Wang Lanling dismounted and said, "I am Wang Lanling, you have come from afar, please go in and talk." ”

The farmers outside did not dare to speak at this time, and soon a few rich people who followed Hu Zhong quickly approached.

"Qi Kai went to meet Lord Wang!"

Wang Lanling looked at this man in his thirties and forties, and then looked at the farmers around him who were standing there with baskets.

"Excuse me, what are you looking for me?"

Qi Kaifu quickly said: "I have been looking up to Lord Wang's prestige for a long time, and I came to visit him today, and I asked Lord Wang to smile at some small gifts, all of which are specialties on the Golden Mountain." ”

Wang Lanling didn't know what this person was going to do, and after walking to a basket and opening it, he found that there were some flesh-and-blood furs inside.

Qi Kai said: "These are deer skins, bear skins, mink skins, furs, and some mountain treasures, in addition to these, there are also jade, agate, gold and silver. ”

Qi Kaifu said embarrassedly: "There is nothing good on the mountain, I neglect you." ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "I'll take it, but do you have something to do with me?"

Qi Kaifu quickly said: "I just want to come and visit you, my lord, our clan has been here in Muzhou since thirty years ago, and since then we have hid in the mountains to survive according to natural dangers. ”

"Even so, we often pay attention to the outside world, and now our clan wants to come down from the mountains and herd cattle and sheep and cultivate the land under your rule."

Wang Lanling said directly: "Go in and talk about it." ”

"Yes!" Qi Kai quickly followed Wang Lanling in.

After the two sides entered the conference room, Wang Lanling said directly: "I'm not a dull person, if you have something to say, just say it directly, if you don't explain things clearly, even if you trick me into staying, when I know about things one day, I will still settle the account." ”

Qi Kaigo had already come to his senses, and when he heard it, he clasped his hands into fists and said, "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, it's just that it was inconvenient to speak just now." ”

Qi Kaifu quickly said: "Don't hide it, my lord, we are the ones who have been rebelling. ”

Wang Lanling has no expression, and he has not been an official for a day or two.

Qi Kaigo couldn't detect Wang Lanling's true thoughts, and after seeing that Wang Lanling didn't catch him directly, he continued: "We don't actually want to rebel, but we are forced by those people to have no choice. ”

Wang Lanling said lightly: "What about now?"

Qi Kai said solemnly: "What will happen in the future, we have discussed for a long time over the years and have not figured out the way out, no matter which way it goes, so after hearing that you are a sir, adult, for people who are suffering like us, and beat those Jiang family members, we have decided, and it is up to you, my lord, to decide the rest of the matter!" ”

They want to live, there is no way out of the rebellion, nothing has been achieved all these years.

If you don't rebel, you can't be a good citizen, and you can't live if you don't unite together.

In recent years, the situation has become worse and worse, because there are more and more bandits and horse bandits nearby, and the army of the imperial court has continued to attack those pioneers who are willing to be cattle and sheep, forcing more and more people to rebel.

Even so, there is nothing that can be done about this court.

Until Wang Lanling appeared, his appearance was to find a way to survive for the pioneers of the entire Muzhou.

Wang Lanling said: "To be honest, I only need good people here, and those who are arrogant and disobedient to discipline will only frequently violate the laws and regulations here." ”

"You have also seen the situation on my side, I don't care about what you have done before, at present, the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and you really want to live a stable life, but this does not mean that you can rein in the previous rules after you come."

"I don't think you'll be able to settle down in a short period of time under my rule."

Qi Kai went and said: "My lord, please rest assured, as long as you can give us a place, we will definitely abide by the law and will never disobey your orders!" ”

Wang Lanling thought about it for a while and quickly made a decision.

"What do you need the most?"

Qi Kaigo didn't understand why Wang Lanling said this, and replied, "I need salt." ”

Wang Lanling said: "How many people are there. ”

Qi Kai replied: "More than 700 people, including adults, children, old people and women. ”

Wang Lanling quickly said: "You can live in, but you have to disperse, scattered all over the city as a family unit, if you gather together, it is easy to make trouble, and it is not conducive to integration." ”

Qi Kaifu said affirmatively: "Yes! There is no problem with this, we people really want a stable life, and we will definitely not make trouble! ”

Wang Lanling thought about this for a moment and said, "Where did your weapons come from?"

Qi Kai replied: "I bought it from the defenders in the city, and it started many years ago, basically the weapons of the pioneers and horse bandits here in Muzhou came out of the army, and only a few made them themselves." ”

Wang Lanling frowned, "I heard that there is an arsenal in Jinshan. ”

Qi Kaifu said affirmatively: "No, my lord, you should be referring to the arsenal of the Muzhou Army, where the weapons are sold out, and now the weapons and equipment of the Muzhou Army are more than ten years ago, and some soldiers in the army have no guns." ”

Wang Lanling quickly asked: "Where is the military factory?"

Qi Kai said: "The specific location is not clear, but it should be in Muzhou Mansion, and our side is bought from the merchants of Tianmu County and Jinshan County." ”

Wang Lanling sighed, "At present, the imperial court has not pursued the previous matter, you should also pay attention to some things and don't talk nonsense, as long as I am willing to contribute here, I can eat enough, as long as I have talent, I will be useful." ”

Seeing that Wang Lanling was willing to accept them, Qi Kai said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord!" ”

After Qi Kai went to leave with the people, Lin Zunian said: "My lord, you are now the director of the Inspection Department, and you will take in these people...... It's not a good fit. ”

Wang Lanling said helplessly: "I have my own considerations about this, you should treat them as the ones who surrendered to us, not to take them in, but to take them prisoners and surrender." ”

When Lin Zunian saw Wang Lanling say this, he could only agree.

Wang Lanling looked at Hu Zhong, "As far as I know, raising horses requires salt, is the salt here coming from the sea?"

Hu Zhong explained: "There are many saltwater lakes in the lower reaches of Shanhai Lake, and the salt that people eat is obtained from the saltwater lakes, and the horses go to the bushes near the desert to graze, and the grass there is of poor quality, and the ash is very dirty and thorny, but it contains a lot of salt, and sometimes people will eat some of it." ”

Wang Lanling showed a clear look, "I remember, there are big crocodiles in some places of Shanhai Lake, and it is indeed a saltwater lake." ”

After figuring out that his side was actually producing salt, Wang Lanling said: "At present, we still buy salt from the county government, which is not a problem, and there is nothing to continue." ”

"But we will need more and more salt, and we still have to have our own salt farm."

"Not only the salt works, but we will also need more and more food, and if outsiders don't do business with us in the future, then we will have to have enough food for a long time."

Wang Lanling made a decision, stood up and said: "From today onwards, we will enter a period of mass production!" All people, including me, all cadres, must master a craft, and each person leads a production team! ”

"Weaving, farming, growing vegetables, striking iron, raising horses and cattle, shearing hair, cooking, no matter what kind of craft, you can do it all!"

Mind, body, consciousness, fighting spirit, these can all be improved in labor!

The problem in Heishui County is that the thinking is not correct.

Shanhai County has now gained a period of stable development time, and Wang Lanling decided to stop and rest.

The first is to unite the people, and the second is to eradicate some bad lazy ideas and narrow the distance between the high-ranking soldiers and the low-level officials.

It is time for those who get rich first to drive the later to get rich.

If it's too late, it won't be easy to mobilize.
