The group walked through the desert, which is said to be infested with wild wolves, and bypassed the foot of a large mountain, and finally arrived at the territory of Shanhai County at about ten o'clock.

"Shanhai County is in the back place, now we are in Linshan County, the county order here is called Lin Daxian, this person is untrustworthy, and very domineering, once asked me to offer cattle and sheep for him every month, I refused."

When Hu Zhong talked about the county order of Linshan County, he did not have a high evaluation of this person.

Not everyone can be trusted, and if 5 percent of the country's officials can be trusted by the people around them, then it can be said to be the best in the past and the present.

Hu Camel said: "This man is a bandit, we used to make deals with him, and often robbed our camels and food on the way. ”

Wang Lanling listened quietly.

Lin Zunian said: "My lord, Lin Daxian is also a troublesome person in this county, he doesn't obey the orders of the county government, and when he pays taxes in the past few years, he has casually handed over a few carts of grain, just a few hundred yuan, and the above sent someone to ask, and he directly said that he had no money." Just don't pay. ”

"But the county government doesn't care about him anymore, and now almost sixteen or seventeen counties in the county are following suit, and they are disobedient to the county government."

Wang Lanling was learning about this place with the people around him when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

When I looked up, I saw a herdsman and a few other people in formal official uniforms riding horses.

Gong Yueman quickly came to the front of Wang Lanling, looked at Wang Lanling and said formally: "Gong Yueman, the director of the Shanhai County Teaching Department, and the Taxation Department, the City Patrol Division, and the county government are here to welcome the adults to the county!" Adults have worked hard all the way! ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "Thank you for coming to greet this official and walking with me." ”

Gong Yueman looked at the many herdsmen around Wang Lanling, these are all cavalry that can fight, and they all bring their own food and guns, which can directly act on combat effectiveness.

This is a good start, even if Hu Zhong does not take refuge in Wang Lanling, Gong Yueman will persuade the surrounding herdsmen and mountain and forest people to take refuge in Wang Lanling.

"My lord, in addition to us, there are three hundred good men from many squires in the county who are waiting outside a mile, there are many beasts and bandits in this place, and we are worried that you have encountered wicked people on the way, my lord."

Wang Lanling smiled, "It's okay, let's talk while walking." ”

Although this is the case, thinking that the huge team formed by his family will inevitably attract the attention of some thieves and the army, Wang Lanling feels that some people really need to clear the barricades in advance.

The bandits in Muzhou are all in groups, and there are thousands of horse thieves in one big group, and more than ten people in small ones.

Except for the material transport troops of the imperial court, these people dare to rob anyone's things.

If one mountain can't eat, it will join the rest of the mountains to set up an ambush, and if you do it, you will scatter in a hurry, and it will be extremely troublesome to liquidate these people.

These people can be herdsmen, officers and soldiers, and county people, and not all full-time horse thieves.

It is impossible for the people in the state capital to touch Wang Lanling's family, and the matter of Wang Lanling's visit to Muzhou, Shanzhou Mu knows, and must have thought about this issue for more than dozens of seconds.

Because Wang Lanling wrote to him, saying that his family was going to pass through the vicinity of the state capital, and he was also on the official road, and he specially said about the horse thieves in Muzhou.

Wang Lanling has long understood the situation in Muzhou, and he has also made a lot of preparations.

Behind the state capital is Tianmu County, where the horse thieves are mainly locals, although Bai Qingshuang doesn't want to have anything to do with Wang Lanling, but he will also use his family relationship to let some people not look for death, don't cause trouble for everyone.

Behind Tianmu County are Yanshan County and Jinshan County, Wang Lanling will let Hu Wangxiang escort him later, and he will also recruit people from Shanhai County to clear mines in advance.

When I was in school, I also learned about matters to be paid attention to when marching and fighting, intelligence work, and logistics and transportation.

On the way, I met the directors of several divisions, there is no sanitation department here, and the county's management of manure is not strong, and it is all self-produced and sold.

The Kuradenjo and the Mindian Division were also grouped under the Taxation Division, and the Craftsman Division was abolished.

Heishui County is a large county, so there are more official positions, and the official positions in ordinary county towns are much less.

Shanhai County was originally a county government, and there were many more things than the rest of the county seats, but after the transfer of the state capital, it quickly declined, and now it is not as good as the rest of the county seats.

After meeting the volunteers from Shanhai County, Gong Yueman said: "My lord, we are now outnumbered, please walk slowly with us, and take a break and eat in the place in front." ”

Wang Lanling looked at Gong Yueman, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, I have just taken office now, and I always want the people around me to know that this Shanhai County will be different from before in the future, if anyone thinks that there is no city wall in the county and will cause trouble casually, it is to send his head under my butcher's knife." ”

Wang Lanling easily understood the plan of showing off his martial arts and might, and said to the rest of the people: "Go and prepare meat for me!" ”

At the moment, it was still on the territory of Linshan County, but the nearby riders were quickly divided into more than twenty people, and these men ran out with spears on their backs and hands on the reins.

Wang Lanling and the others went to the front to rest on the flat ground, and the riders got off their horses and cut some branches and dry grass to make a fire for cooking, it is autumn now, and it is not difficult to light a fire.

It didn't take long for the riders to drop a few dead sheep on the ground.

At first glance, these sheep are herdsmen's belongings, but no one thinks it is inappropriate.

The rest of the people are acquiescing to this tradition, just eating a few sheep from you, and it's good not to beat you.

In Muzhou, the loss of cattle and sheep has always been a risk loss, they will not fight with others for one or two sheep, and they are usually extremely restrained and do not eat these means of production.

Wang Lanling knows that this is a necessary diplomatic method, and only by letting people know that they are not easy to provoke can they use their prestige to solve many things and reduce unnecessary confrontation and competition.

It's nothing to win battles all the time, what Wang Lanling wants is that others don't dare to fight him, and exchange a small amount of money for long-term peace.

After eating, I didn't see anyone from Linshan County looking for trouble, and the group soon passed through Linshan County and arrived at the territory of Shanhai County.

"The city wall in the county has been demolished for several years, and bricks and stones have been used to build house walls, because the city wall has been demolished, and the surrounding villages have suffered more seriously.

Dong Shenghui, director of the City Patrol Department, introduced the general affairs of the county to Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling was already able to see some villages at this time, the houses in these villages were relatively dilapidated, they were simple thatched houses, which were lower than the houses in Heishui County, which should be for the purpose of keeping warm.

"I'll find a way to deal with public security, the city wall in Shanhai County is gone, but I'm here! From now on, I am the city wall of Shanhai County! ”
