"Fan Shaosheng!"

As they were discussing, a shout suddenly came from outside.

Everyone hurriedly pretended to be fine, but an official from the governor's palace walked into the military tent, looked around, and asked:

"Who is President Fan Shaosheng?"

Fan Shaosheng chuckled in his heart, stepped forward and said cautiously: "I, I am Fan Shaosheng, the chief of the granary, dare to ask who you are——? ”

The officer nodded and said:

"This official is a subordinate official of the Governor's Mansion, you don't need to know the name, this time I came to pass on the governor's order, Fan Shaosheng, obey the order."

The family members in the military tent looked at each other, and they were all vigilant, and some even touched their hands on the handle of the knife.

"Fan Shaosheng, you didn't guard the granary well, and you left your post without permission, you should have been punished."

Fan Shaosheng lowered his head, he was really shocked when he heard this, looking at the meaning of these words, it seemed that his disposal would be reversed!

Sure enough, the official changed his words and said:

"Your Excellency the Governor was born in the military camp, understands your hardships, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, are you all willing to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court?"

Hearing this, the family members all stood up and formed a circle.

This startled the official, who took a few steps back, raised one hand and wanted to run.

"Stand down!"

Fan Shaosheng saw that his subordinates were scared of this adult, and he shouted angrily with a gloomy face, and the family members retreated, only then did he change his smiling face, clasped his fists and said:

"Please command, the little one is willing to go to the soup for the court, and only ask for meritorious service!"

"That's fine," the official breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"There is a Mengshan Mountain in the south fifty miles, which is close to the official road, and pedestrians report that there are often bandits who come down the mountain to rob, and the impact is bad. The Governor's meaning is to tell you to take your troops and horses to clear out this nest of bandits. ”

Fan Shaosheng was stunned for a moment? He didn't expect it to be that simple.

Shouldn't the work of purging bandits be done by local armed regiments or government officials? Let yourself go with the officers and soldiers, wouldn't it be like killing chickens with a knife?

See his hesitation? The official frowned? Road:

"Why, you don't want to?"

Fan Shaosheng reacted? Hurriedly said: "Willing to be willing, the little one hundred are willing!" ”

"Please tell the Governor? The small one will take people to camp at the foot of Mengshan Mountain? This gang of bandits will be wiped out! ”

After a while, he took people out of the camp, and Fan Shaosheng was like a spring breeze.

"This governor is good!"

Fan Shaosheng laughed a few times and said:

"I thought I was going to finish the ball this time? I didn't expect to take a thief's errand. Brethren? cheered me up, exterminated this gang of bandits, and asked He Renlong to take a look! ”

The family members don't worry about not being able to defeat the bandits at all, after all, they are officers and soldiers, and the court sends out new armor and weapons every year? That's not a grade.

"More than 200 bandits, not enough for the brothers to stuff their teeth!"

......

"Zhenwuwei in the past few years? There are more than 1,000 items of garrison equipment that are overdue, and the lower official asked him to make up for some of them? He talked about it for more than half an hour, but he didn't want to make up for it. ”

Taiyuan granary? An official who had just returned from Zhenwuwei was reporting to Zhu Xieyuan on the local armament situation.

He thought about it? Again:

"Afterwards, the official recalled? On this trip, what I saw in Zhenwuwei was that the slack of armaments was even worse than that of Taiyuan, and the lower officials felt that it was necessary to start as soon as possible and rectify military affairs. ”

Qi Jingwei, the prefect of Taiyuan, smiled and said:

"There are two guards in Taiyuan Mansion, Liang Chi, the commander of Zhenxi Wei, is an anxious man, he is rough and horizontal, and Zhen Wuwei commands Zhou Shouhe to be crepe, but he is just slippery like a loach, and he is the most reluctant to mention anything about rectifying military affairs."

Zhu Xieyuan nodded, raised his head and glanced at the granary, and said: "The Zhou family is hereditary Shanxi Zhenwuwei, and it is indeed difficult for you to let you deal with the palm print commander of the guard. ”

"By the way, has the school field been cleaned up, in a few days, the governor will review the Taiyuan soldiers."

Qi Jingwei nodded and said: "On the day when the governor ordered him to come down, the lower official asked Gao Ye, according to him, the school field has not been used for many years, and it has been used by some wood merchants in the city as a place to pile up wood. ”

Zhu Xieyuan turned his head and looked at it, a little incredulous.

"The Taiyuan school yard is full of wood, who put it in? If it is found out, the governor will be dismissed immediately, this is a place for the imperial court to review the soldiers, how can it be easily given to others? ”

Qi Jingwei also said a little helplessly: "Governor, it was done during the term of office of the previous governor of Shanxi, when the imperial court had several transactions with the wood merchants, and when they saw that the school fields in various places were empty and useless, they were all handed over to the wood merchants..."

"It is said that at that time, I also asked the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry also approved it."

Zhu Xieyuan couldn't believe it even more, and his eyes widened.

"The last governor of Shanxi, I think it should be a matter of the 30th year of Wanli, what does the Ministry of Industry do, and this unreasonable request will also be approved?"

"You just said that the school fields in various places, according to this, the school fields occupied by wood merchants are not only in Taiyuan?"

"There are also Zhenwu Wei School Field, Zhenxi Wei School Field, Wuxiang School Field, and Wanquan Official Land, all of which have been used as warehouses for wood merchants to pile up raw materials."

Qi Jingwei nodded, accompanied Zhu Xieyuan, and said as he walked:

"Xia Guan also went to see it, the school yard is now full of debris, and the surrounding area is not an open place, the wood merchants have built a lot of shops and venues, not only piling up bamboo and wood, but also the shacks of the helpers are also one by one, and I don't know how many layers have been built."

"If they want to vacate the school grounds, I'm afraid they won't agree easily..., let's think of other ways."

Zhu Xieyuan walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and walked directly to the school field.

Seeing this, Qi Jingwei and the rest of the officials glanced at each other, and had to follow one after another, it seemed that the governor had some method.

......

Taiyuan Campus.

Zhu Xieyuan stood in the middle of the school field, looking at the field where he was working, his face was solemn, and the school field was occupied by carpenters every day.

This kind of strange thing, I really don't know if I don't come down.

It seems that Wanli did a lot of wrong things in the imperial court in those years, and the school field was changed out so easily, I don't know what was changed at that time.

Now if you want to take it back, I'm afraid that you will have to fight with the carpenters.

It is not Zhu Xieyuan's style to use his power to forcibly recycle this kind of thing, but he doesn't mind doing it in a hurry, it depends on whether the wood merchants can tell the difference.

"Hu Gongzan, a grass man, has seen the governor of Shanxi."

While speaking, Hu Gongzan peeked over and saw Zhu Xieyuan standing with his hands in his hands, his face was extremely solemn, and with his governor's uniform, he had a majesty.

On weekdays, the school field is generally more serious, but now this Taiyuan school field is busy, and the sound of trees being cut is endless.

Hu Gongzan was the leader of the carpenters in Taiyuan Prefecture, and if he wanted to take back the school, he had to come and talk to him.

Zhu Xieyuan didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he didn't return the courtesy, waited for a long time, looked sideways slightly, and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Hu know what kind of place this is?" ”

Hu Gongzan knew the intention of Zhu Xieyuan's trip, his face trembled, and he said with a smile:

"I know, this is the Taiyuan Official School."

Zhu Xieyuan turned his head and stood in front of him with his hands in this way, without speaking.

The next moment, countless officers and soldiers suddenly came in from the periphery of the school field, led by Gao Ye, the general army of Taiyuan, and surrounded all the carpenters as soon as they entered.
