Well, yes, now we have more than 1,000 people, and the food consumed will be more than 1,000 catties, if not, I'm afraid that after a long time, we won't even have the money to buy food."

Wen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, we understand."

"Lu Sheng, you take people to build some pigsty in the barracks, we will raise at least more than 500 pigsties, and in a year, we don't need to buy any pork."

"My lord, but this pig food is also very large, five hundred pigs, more than people eat, we definitely don't have enough food.

Song Ci said: "Isn't there a lot of grass in the rear? Why don't we cut it and feed it with rice? At the same time, more than 1,000 people can also be fed with the leftover rice every day!"

"Yes, my lord, I understand.

Song Ci nodded, "Yue Xiaoxiang, you prepare some fabrics, call all the women in the barracks, and prepare some more clothes and shoes for the soldiers, now in the winter, we can't let our soldiers walk barefoot!"

The two also nodded.

"In addition, Ren You, you bring 1,000 people to train every day, and at the same time, arrange 50 people to patrol the perimeter of our wasteland along the rear of the barracks every day, and if there is a thief, come to report immediately."

"It's an adult, and my subordinates will do it."

After all this, Song Ci felt that he was much more relaxed, he was unofficial, he was a big official, and there were too many soldiers under him, which was also a pressure, after all, there were more people eating, and he also needed to protect the local area, and even protect the safety of the soldiers.

Everyone walked out, as if they were busy, and at the same time, at this moment, Chen Shixiong also walked out with a thousand people, ready to encircle and suppress.

Their team went straight to their destination, and they learned from Song Ci that he had brought ten steamed buns for each person to take on the road.

Gradually, the news of this Xianghe suppression force was spread, and many people who had been far away had also returned, and they returned to this place where they grew up, full of emotion.

At the same time, Song Ci's advice was also handed over to Song Lizong of the Lin'an Xuande Palace, and on this morning, a eunuch handed over the fold, and he glanced at it and said: "This Song Ci, every time he goes to report his colleagues, I can't figure out why he wants to do this?"

"Could it be that he really thinks that he will fight alone in the entire Great Song Dynasty? He alone will be the arraignment officer to solve the case? It's infuriating.

Lu You took a step forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, maybe it is not good for Chen Shixiong, the main general of the encirclement and suppression of the Xianghe River in Huainan, to lead the troops, otherwise, how can Song Ci be like this?" In the opinion of the ministers, why didn't the emperor take the opportunity to dismiss him, and then Song Ci would lead these soldiers?"

As soon as these words came out, Lord Tang immediately stepped forward, "Director Lu's words are really bad, dare to ask Director Lu if he has been to the local area?" Otherwise, how could he speak for Song Ci like this?"

"That is, Song Ci has not led troops, and it may even be that he is not good at leading troops, and he has a contradiction with this Chen Shixiong, so he quietly admonished the emperor, hoping to avoid the other party."

Wu Xi also walked up to these two people and said, "Lord Lu, look at it, among the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty, no one speaks for Song Ci, don't you still feel the problem?" It's really a joke, you will only blindly favor Song Ci, could it be that Chen Shixiong has led the army for ten years, without a little hard work and credit?"

Lu You looked at them with blank eyes, in the entire imperial court, there was no one to speak for Song Ci, this was definitely not very good news, and things were still developing on the worse side.

Song Lizong is young and vigorous, because he doesn't have a lot of experience, he can only look at the heat below at the moment, he doesn't have too close people, and some are just the queen mother.

Lu You weighed it for a while and said, "Since the three adults have such a method, then the matter is simple, Your Majesty, I don't know if you are willing to let your father-in-law read the contents of the excerpt?" I'll know if it's clear, maybe not?"

Wu Xi arched his hand forward, "Your Majesty, why don't you follow this Lord Lu?" The minister also wanted to see what kind of crime this Chen Shixiong had committed, and as for admonishing the emperor. ”

In addition, Cao Tang and the others have agreed, and they also have this intention.

Song Lizong said with a smile: "Since you all want to know, then it's okay, come on, take it and read it, by the way, let the four adults analyze and analyze, and I'll talk together."

The eunuch took it and opened the fold, and then said: "My emperor, the minister is Song Ci, and he has been a deputy general for encirclement and suppression in the area of Xianghe in Huainan for more than a month, but during this month, I found that Chen Shixiong had no talent for war, and even Hu Lai."

The eunuch continued: "In the area of the Xianghe River, under the influence of the anti-thieves, the county town that was originally as prosperous as Lin'an has declined at this moment, the streets are empty, the people have fled, and the only lonely old people who are left are unwilling to leave, and it is really a pity that they have stayed here.

"Since Song came to this Xianghe, and Chen Shixiong gradually disagreed, the two of us have different views on the encirclement and suppression, Song advocated to inquire about the reasons first, and then make a conclusion, Chen Shixiong did not say a word, and directly started fighting, so that the loss of most of the soldiers in one day, which is heartbreaking.

Before the eunuch finished speaking, Master Cao said: "Your Majesty, Chen Shixiong is not at fault for this fold, for the anti-thief, it is not to kill, is it difficult to stay?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, what Lord Chen did was completely in line with the encirclement and suppression of the main general, he used force to encircle and suppress, so that the anti-thieves could be completely suppressed, otherwise, could it be that he still wanted to appease the anti-thieves and make them choose to surrender?"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, what Chen Shixiong did was completely in line with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was completely dedicated to the people, let me ask, if he was not good for encirclement and suppression, would this Xianghe River have already been taken?"

Lu You looked at the others coldly, and said very unceremoniously: "The three adults are wrong again, if Chen Shixiong is good at leading the troops, why would the local people flee?" At the same time, if it is beneficial for him to encircle and suppress, how can this Xianghe River be reduced to an empty city? 100,000 people are running out, can't this be clear?"

Song Lizong said: "Don't argue with Aiqing, the content on the excerpt has not been finished yet, Wang Fu, you continue."

"It's the emperor." The eunuch continued: "Your Majesty, now there are too many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the imperial court, the oppression is too great, and the common people are forced to be helpless to become anti-thieves.

"The casualties are too great, and the people are even more dissatisfied with the yamen and the imperial court, and when the time comes, all parts of the country will rise up, so that we will die without a place to bury, Your Majesty, so the minister thinks,

At the same time, the minister hoped that the emperor could remove Chen Shixiong from the post of chief general of the encirclement and suppression, and at the same time demote him to a concubine.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the excerpt given by Lord Song has been read."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Lu You thought to himself, Song Ci is completely consistent with what he wants in his heart, this deputy general of encirclement and suppression is even very suitable for being an official, and ordinary people can only have a good life when they live under such officials.

Cao, Tang and Wu had a gloomy face, they still underestimated Song Ci too much, if this person didn't take it, he might become a big trouble for himself in the future.

Song Lizong motioned for the eunuch to retreat, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, among you, do you think it is more appropriate for Song Ci to encircle and suppress like this?"

At this moment, except for Cao, Tang and Wu and Lu You, the rest of the people did not say a word, and they really didn't dare to say much, and they couldn't afford to offend the officials of these two parties.

Cao Dayang: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to agree with this Song Ci's approach, on the contrary, the minister still prefers Chen Shixiong's doing, cutting through the chaos quickly, and removing all potential threats.

Wu Xi immediately stepped forward, "The ministers and Lord Cao agree with each other, Your Majesty, can you have any mercy on the anti-thief, the lessons of the previous dynasty are not big enough?" It's enough to give me a warning from the Great Song!"

Hearing the constant disputes between the two parties, Song Lizong had a headache, he was only in his twenties, and he had no experience in governing the country, he even wanted to abdicate and not be the emperor.

"Lu Aiqing, I don't know what your opinion is?"

Lu You said: "Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is completely consistent with Song Ci, the anti-thieves are also from poor people, if they have food to eat, clothes to wear, and are not oppressed by corrupt officials, I think most people don't want to go down this road, at the same time, the minister suggested that the emperor give some military pay for Song Ci's army."

Tang Da jumped out when he was short, "Lord Lu, what you do is actually misleading the country and misleading, Song Ci will raise more anti-thieves, and by then there will be thousands of anti-thieves, what will my Da Song use to suppress it?" At the same time, there are also Mongols and Jin people who are eyeing each other, so I suggest that Song Ci be dismissed and immediately sent to Lin'an to try cattle

Cao Wu and the others responded one after another, and when they looked behind them, their sharp eyes swept over everyone, and they immediately echoed and did not dare to disobey.

Song Lizong took a deep breath, from the mouth of the former emperor Song Ningzong, he had already learned that Song Ci was a person, but at this moment, among the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how could he act in isolation? Do you have to be a loner?

He sighed and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I might as well wait like this, come and announce the decree, I order Song Ci to continue to garrison Xianghe, but not to give military salaries, food and soldiers, order, Song Ci is self-sufficient, if Xianghe County is stationed strongly, he will continue to be here, if he misses, he will be demoted together with Chen Shixiong, and he will be degraded."

This news is not good or bad, both sides are relatively satisfied, Cao, Tang and Wu have already seen that with Song Ci's troops, sooner or later they will be wiped out, and then it will be his death.

At the same time, in the Xianghe military camp, everything is going on in the hot court, the people are very excited, they have been hiding for so long, and now the peaceful and prosperous era has arrived, very good, if it continues, it will defeat the Jin people, as well as the Mongols.

The thick wall at the back of the barracks has been smashed open, the terrain here is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there are thieves coming, it will not be able to take it.
