My lord, you have traveled for so long, it is time to eat, and at the same time we have good news to tell your lordship, that is, when we brought back the silver, we sent thousands of people, and at this moment our team has 20,000 people. ”

"20,000?" Song Ci put down the dishes and chopsticks in shock, "Wencheng Wenwu, didn't you lie to Song?" Are these 20,000 really our people?"

"Yes, my lord, it's true, and it doesn't include the people, and these days, we have built the weapons, the clothes of the soldiers are also available, and the rice fields have been mined, five hundred piglets, and several have died, but this is all a matter."

When he heard this, Song Ci knew that things had developed for the better, which was very good.

Moreover, in the imperial court, Emperor Lizong has been angry, Cao Lihong is dead, it is estimated that this Tang Huan and Wu Xi do not dare to be bold at present, and at the same time, seeing them like this, it seems that they do not dare to take risks.

"Wencheng Wenwu, since there have been no rebels recently, then you still have Ren You to hurry up and train your troops, Lu Sheng, you continue to get supplies, food, herbs and vegetables must keep up, and at the same time, it is best to build more weapons in case of backup."

"Yes, my lord."

"And Yue Xiaoxiang, you continue to make clothes for the soldiers, especially in summer and winter, it's not too much for one person to have two sets of Song."

"Okay sir, we got it."

Song Ci nodded, "At the same time, Chen Shixiong's early soldiers can be completely integrated with us?" Do they disobey your rules?"

"No, my lord, these people are still kind to us, and they are all in charge of the orders given by our two brothers."

Song Ci put his mind at ease, what he was most worried about at the moment was this matter.

After eating, there was nothing to do, and Song Ci also led Qin Yue and Xiaoxiang to walk the streets of the county seat. , the chaos of the war stopped, and the nearby rebels were either exterminated or all were edicted, and Song Ci was very happy to see this result.

As soon as the three of them entered the street, Song Ci was noticed by the people, and soon a large number of people gathered over, and they knelt on the ground, very grateful, and all cried.

It feels very bad to be uprooted from home, not only affected by the thieves, but also unable to meet the food and clothing, they have had enough.

It was the appearance of Song Ci that changed the current situation, Chen Shixiong has not suppressed this matter for ten years, but it only took a few months for this original criminal officer to return to the tranquility and harmony of the original time, and this feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced the war.

An old man knelt down and said: "Lord Song, Master Qingda, this is thanks to you, if it weren't for you, we might have died on the run, or we would have been killed by the thieves, or...

"Yes, yes, Lord Song, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know where we went, and if it weren't for you, we might have been gone."

Song Ci helped the old man up and looked at them.

"Folks, Song was originally a criminal officer, but at this moment he is already the main general of the Xianghe encirclement and suppression, as the person ordered by the imperial court, Song is very pleased, as for what you did just now, this is just Song's business."

"Also, folks, as for thanks, you really don't need more, Song Mou is here to promise you, as long as someone finds out that the thief goes to the military camp to report, once Song finds out that this matter is true, he will definitely give a certain reward."

The eyes of the people in the vicinity were red, most of them had experienced ten years of fleeing life, and now they can have this day, which is really hard-won.

Arrange for the nearby people to leave, Song Ci continued to walk forward, and at the same time, he secretly said, Xianghe has no Zhixian, I am afraid it is not a long-term solution, and it is impossible for him to stay in the cluster for a lifetime.

"Yue Xiaoxiang, let's go, let's go to the yamen to have a look, to see what has become of this yamen, at the same time, Song now has time to investigate, I want to see who left the entire county people and fled."

"Yes, my lord."

Walking along the way, I asked for directions, and soon came to a dilapidated house, the door was already dilapidated, and the local people had fire on the yamen, and all the ones that could be smashed were smashed, and even the plaque on it was gone.

The two stone lions had fallen to the ground and were shattered, the ground was covered with dry grass, and the wood used to build the house was rotten and in danger of collapsing.

Song Ci was about to enter, but Qin Yue immediately stopped him: "My lord, in my opinion, don't go, this yamen is about to go out of business, I'm afraid that there will be danger after the adults go in."

Song Ci shook his head and refused, "My Yue girl, Song is a person who has been on the battlefield, is it possible that he can still be afraid of this house that is about to collapse?" Besides, is it possible to go out of business after entering? It can't be!"

Qin Yue didn't have to, but he had to forget it, the three of them went inside, and the yard was already overgrown with weeds, and some soil had fallen, and the walls were ruined, which was a pity.

This is a period of disrepair, coupled with the destruction of unmanaged and local people, it is really understandable that there can be such a scene.

Song Ci felt distressed, but he had an idea in his heart, that is, to find a magistrate by himself, preferably the kind of person who is young and strong, and who has also studied in a private school, it is best to have a meritorious reputation.

After looking at it for a while, Song Ci and the three of them left, returned to the barracks, and immediately found Wencheng Wenwu.

Song Ci said: "Wencheng Wenwu, the two of you immediately go to the street to find some craftsmen and push the Xianghe Yamen to be rebuilt, and at the same time, one person will give them one or three hundred yuan, there must be no mistake."

The two exclaimed, "My lord, the construction of the yamen is the imperial court, and it is the emperor's business, why should we..."

"Your Majesty? The emperor is angry at the moment, how can he let go of this? As a courtier, I naturally want to share his worries, so go ahead and do it immediately, and at the same time, I'll leave it to you to do the purchase of all kinds of materials!"

"Yes, my lord."

"And Yue Xiaoxiang, you immediately prepare a hundred blank papers, Song Mou wants to take the postgraduate examination for some people, if someone passes Song's assessment, he is the county governor of Xianghe, and at the same time, I will also write a letter to the emperor and the director of the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department, Lord Lu."

"Okay sir, I'll do it now."

They walked out, until today, the worry in Song Ci's heart has fallen, Da Song, there is finally some change, as long as Tang Huan and Wu Xi die, the border situation will change, and one day, he will have to go to Lin'an Xuande Palace.

At the same time, Zhu Zhi'an, the anti-gold general who was far away on the border, also received the holy decree at this moment, he did not dare to delay, and immediately walked on the official road back to Lin'an.

Hundreds of people walked, walking through the crops, crushing the wheat that had grown so hard, and walking through the orchards, plucking them and swallowing them in their stomachs

Sitting in the carriage, I ran for seven days in a row, and at this moment I finally drove half the way, and it was close to noon, and it was time to eat.

Zhu Zhian got off the horse and said to his subordinates: "Come on, go to the neighborhood to see if there are any local people living there, and if there are, go and catch some domestic animals for the official to eat."

"Yes, sir."

A pair of generals walked out with people in tow, and Zhu Zhian whispered: "This official has been on the border for ten years, and he has been here since the last one died in battle, if it weren't for the fact that this official and the Jin people were around, where would these untouchables still have such a life?" It's already good to catch some domestic animals to eat. ”

The speed of the deputy general was very fast, and I didn't know if it was lucky, and it wasn't long before everyone left, and then they rushed over with a few chickens and ducks in one hand.

"Big, I caught it, look at it, these are live chickens and ducks, very fat, it seems that the local people live a good life, otherwise no one will have to eat, where is their share?"

"That's right, Vice General Zhou, now this official orders you to immediately kill the chickens and ducks and roast them to eat, and at the same time, the soldiers' food is also notified to be made immediately."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, a team was hiding in the jungle in the distance, and they found Zhu Zhi'an in front of them, who had shown a portrait on it, and they recognized it at a glance at this moment.

Immediately, everyone approached, and when the ambush was completed, many arrows flew out of the longbow and hit the front.

Only a few tens of meters, with the power of a bow and arrow, it can be repulsed.

Boom.

Hundreds of arrows flew out at the same time, some missed, and some directly hit Zhu Zhi'an, these arrows were very sharp, and just like that, he fell to the ground, dying.

When this scene appeared, these soldiers nearby were shocked, they looked left and right, and found the location of the murderer, and when they chased at this moment, they saw that the other party had already gotten on a boat next to them and left, and they couldn't catch up.

Everyone scolded that the anti-gold lord would be attacked and killed, they couldn't explain to the emperor, nor to the court, especially the deputy general, he was already stunned, and the whole person was about to collapse to the ground.

Zhu Zhi'an's body struggled on the ground for a while, there were too many arrows in his body, and he was about to shoot through his chest, and his body was dripping with blood and he lost his breath.

Song Ci here, Qin Yue and others found a blank paper, Song Ci came up with some test questions, and then ordered everyone to copy according to the above, and after two days, all the test papers were out, and at this moment, they only need to be distributed normally.

After being busy for so long, as long as he has a new county, Song Ci believes that the courage on his shoulders will finally be much easier.

"Yue Xiaoxiang, now you go and submit this test paper to Song, pay attention, you have to go to the most densely populated place in the county, because there are many possibilities for talented people to appear."

"Yes, my lord, we'll go at once."

At the same time, they were asked to hand over the questions to the barracks gate as soon as they were finished, and at the same time they would come to check the news a day later.

Qin Yue and Xiaoxiang walked out, and the two of them immediately did so, and at the same time, Song Ci also walked out of the barracks and looked at the team that was still training in the distance.

Ren You ran over, "My lord, over there at the yamen, Wencheng Wenwu has already done it, and the abandoned yamen has been pushed at this moment, and it is estimated that the construction will start again in a few days."
