After learning about the situation in Wudu County, Wang Kai also walked around the Taishou Mansion at the same time.

After seeing the dusty appearance of the Taishou Mansion, Wang Kai suddenly complained: "This Taishou Mansion has been idle for too long!" It was all ash. ”

"My lord, the post of Taishou of Wudu County should have been vacant for five or six years!" Wang Tong explained.

"No wonder it's like this, it's been vacant for so long, and the Di and Qiang people here are so difficult to govern?"

"My lord, the Di and Qiang people are brave and ruthless, and it is really difficult for ordinary officials to deter them, especially the two counties of Wudu Dao and Qiang Dao are the most difficult to govern, because these two counties are mainly inhabited by Di and Qiang people, and the rest of the county is led by Wudu Dao and Qiang Dao counties, so it gradually becomes ungoverned in the future, and as a result, in the end, Wudu County's post as a guard becomes an empty shell, and the saint will no longer send officials here."

"I see! I didn't expect the place I was going to take over was such a mess. ”

"My lord, if you want to govern Wudu County, the most important thing is to subdue the Di people of Wudu Dao and the Qiang people of Qiang Dao, as long as you subdue these two counties, the rest of the county will not be worried."

Talking about this, Wang Kai suddenly had a general direction in his heart, and what he lacked now was his own armed forces.

Immediately after, Wang Kai said to Qin Qiong: "Shubao, when Your Majesty's will is conveyed, you will immediately recruit young and strong soldiers to train soldiers, if you want to govern Wudu County, you can't do it without soldiers and horses in hand." ”

In this way, Wang Kai and Qin Qiong temporarily lived in the Taishou Mansion of Xiaban County.

After three days, the holy decree of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty finally reached the seven counties under Wudu County.

After receiving the will of Emperor Han Ling, the patriarch of the White Horse Yi tribe of Wudu Dao and the patriarch of Qiang Dao, both of them showed disdainful smiles, because Emperor Han Ling had long ignored Wudu County for a long time, and now it was impossible to rely on a stinky boy to deprive them of their privileges.

Because of their self-confidence in their own strength, the patriarch of Baima Di and the patriarch of Qiang Dao did not take the appointment of Emperor Ling of Han to heart at all, so they gave Wang Kai a valuable opportunity for development.

With the transmission of the holy decree of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Wang Tong and Wang Dongdang in Xiafen County officially became the personal soldiers of Wang Kai's side.

And after Wang Kai officially assumed the post of Taishou of Wudu County, he should even appoint Qin Qiong as the governor of Wudu County.

Because of the lack of personnel in the Taishou Mansion, after Wang Kai appointed Qin Qiong as the governor of Wudu County, he asked Qin Qiong to take Wang Dong to recruit troops, and he himself took Wang Tong to stay in the Taishou Mansion to recruit the relevant personnel of the Taishou Mansion.

First of all, after Qin Qiong and Wang Dong wrote the recruitment notice, they started to post it at the east city gate, and then posted it at the south city gate, the west city gate, and the north city gate in turn.

After posting, Qin Qiong and Wang Dong returned to the Taishou Mansion and waited.

And Wang Kai and Wang Tong also returned to the Taishou Mansion and waited after posting a notice recruiting officials outside the Taishou Mansion.

After waiting for several days, not only did no one care about the recruited officials, but even very few people signed up to join the army.

Seeing this situation, Wang Kai called Qin Qiong, Wang Tong and Wang Dong together to discuss.

"Wang Tong, why are there so few officials who should recruit the Taishou Mansion and those who sign up to join the army?"

"Lord, if the subordinates guess correctly, it should be that Wudu County has been vacant for a long time, and the people have become accustomed to not guarding it, so no one cares about it after the notice is posted."

"If that's the case, then isn't my Wudu County Taishou an empty shell, and if it doesn't work like this, do you have a solution?"

When Qin Qiong heard this, he immediately froze, because he was good at letting him lead troops to fight, and letting him give advice was really not his forte.

And the two brothers Wang Tong and Wang Dong were also stunned on the spot after hearing this, because they were not very good at anything other than a little martial arts.

Seeing Qin Qiong, Wang Tong and Wang Dong at a loss, Wang Kai suddenly touched his forehead and sighed: "Yes, when I didn't say it, I'd better figure it out myself!" Go and keep it. ”

Seeing that the three of them couldn't help Wang Kai, they agreed in unison, and then retreated.

When he was left alone, Wang Kai suddenly sighed: "It would be great if I could exchange my political achievements for a civil official at this time, but unfortunately this situation can't be done now." ”

After complaining, Wang Kai immediately thought of a way to do it alone.

After pondering and meditating for a long time, Wang Kai suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to recruit troops through a martial arts competition.

In the same way, the recruitment of civil servants can also be carried out in the form of competitions.

Wang Kai, who came up with a solution, immediately told Qin Qiong, Wang Tong and Wang Dong his thoughts.

After listening to Wang Kai's method, Wang Tong carefully scrutinized it and then said: "Lord, the method of recruiting soldiers in the competition is very good, most of the people in this Wudu County advocate warriors, if Qin Duwei makes a move, presumably the recruitment of troops will be a matter of course, as for the recruitment of civil officials, I am afraid it will not be too smooth, after all, there are basically some rough people in Wudu County, and there are few scholars." ”

"In this case, then solve the matter of soldiers first, the recruitment of civilian officials can be put to a later date, Wudu County has only seven counties, and then subtract Wudu Dao and Qiang Dao, just govern five counties, I can still deal with it."

After the decision was made, Wang Kai immediately asked Wang Tong and Wang Dong to prepare, and he took Qin Qiong to write some notices for recruiting soldiers in the martial arts competition and went to post them.

As the announcement of the recruitment of the martial arts was posted, the young people in Xia Fen County finally became interested, because it was not only to their taste, but also the winner was rewarded with a large sum.

Soon, the young people who signed up for the competition began to flow in an endless stream.

Wang Kai has been busy registering more than 3,000 people, and then the registration ended.

Among the people who registered, there were as young as ten years old and as old as fifty years old, and basically all the men in the county came to participate in the registration, because the registration conditions set by Wang Kai did not specify the age limit.

With the end of registration, the two brothers Wang Tong and Wang Dong also set up the ring for the competition.

Seeing that everything was ready, Wang Kai sent two brothers, Wang Tong and Wang Dong, to post a notice of the start time of the game.

Two days later.

Wang Kai took Qin Qiong, Wang Tong and Wang Dong to the martial arts ring.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a large number of contestants gathered around the ring.

Seeing this, Wang Kai said to Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao, when you compete later, you should pay attention to the young men between fifteen and thirty-five, only soldiers of this age can train an elite division." ”

"The last general obeys!"

After receiving the order, Qin Qiong immediately walked into the ring of the martial arts competition and said loudly: "I am Qin Qiong, the commander of Wudu County who served as the lord of the tournament this time, I believe that everyone already knows the purpose of the competition, if anyone can defeat me, then I will give up the position of captain, and I will be rewarded with another hundred taels of silver, and those who fail to defeat me will become my subordinate soldiers according to my choice, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"Hurry up! We can't wait, and we don't know where you came out, and you dare to slander the warriors of my subordinate county, and your position as the lieutenant is waiting to be handed over! ”

After smiling slightly, Qin Qiong did not argue, but waited for the challenger to come to the stage.

Seeing this, Wang Kai called the stage to challenge Qin Qiong in turn according to the order of registration.
