Chapter Ninety-Five: Sunshine in Yang's County
Liu Xian briefly told Wen Shen about his plan, and then Wen Shen hurried to the county office.
Wen Shen knew that Liu Xian's act of giving grain would definitely soon let the county magistrate Yang Jie know. As Liu Xian told him, Yang Jie will definitely feel that this will cause a certain impact on his prestige and fame in Yang's County.
At that time, Yang Jie, who does not know the situation, is very likely to make some moves to prevent Liu Xian from giving soup and food in Yangshi County.
Therefore, Wen Shen had to keep an eye on it, and he couldn't let Yang Jie sabotage Liu Xian's actions.
After watching Wen Shen leave, Liu Xian said to Wang Bao again: "Brother Wang Bao, you can stay in this barracks today, but the officers and soldiers under your command will be transferred to me now." ”
"Okay, no problem!" Wang Bao patted his chest and said: "After all, this military camp is the military camp of the official army of the government, and ordinary people dare not come close. I am here to guard and ensure that the food here is safe and sound. How many people do you need? ”
Wang Bao asked again after speaking.
"That being said, you need at least one or ten men to guard the south gate, and you must have at least twenty people left in this barracks. So send me all the remaining fifty. Each soldier goes to a soup kitchen to maintain order, and this manpower is a little less, but with officers and soldiers together, it can play a certain deterrent role to some extent, so that ordinary people dare not mess around. ”
"Okay, just do what Brother Liu Xian said." Wang Bao didn't have much idea, and now he is basically mainly based on Liu Xian.
"Also, now that the food has been delivered, you can also call for some of the food. You'll have to make a note of how much you have taken, though. In addition, didn't I also pay 100,000 yuan to you and Lord Wenshen? Now I have money and food in my hands, so hurry up and pull the people up. Liu Xian reminded Wang Bao to recruit the soldiers he could command as soon as possible, thought about it, and said: "Give me a suggestion, the fifty people sent to me, I will tell them, let them choose some strong adult men among the people who come to get porridge, ordinary people will be more reliable at this time." Pull them into your ranks, and at least you'll be able to share our minds. In this way, it is estimated that in less than a day, you will be able to recruit 200 full-fledged officers and soldiers. As long as you have people in hand, this is easy to do. Liu Xian made another suggestion for Wang Bao.
"Haha!" When Wang Bao heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help patting Liu Xian's shoulder vigorously and said, "It's still Liu Xian's brother who has more ideas, yes, that's it." Hehe, as long as I have two hundred centaurs in my hands, hum, I'm still afraid of that guy? ”
It's only been a few days since Wang Bao came to face Na Suo.
Suo Qi is another county lieutenant appointed by Yang Jie, the county commander.
Theoretically, only large county towns can set up two county lieutenants. Yang's County used to be a big county, so there was nothing wrong with Yang Jie appointing a county lieutenant.
However, all the big and small officials appointed by Yang Jie now are only Yang Jie's personal appointments, and they have not yet been reported to the government above. Therefore, now they are indeed in accordance with the laws of the Han Dynasty in name, and they can also exercise their respective official positions and powers, but in fact they also hold authority. But it is not safe, because the government above has the right to disagree with Yang Jie's appointment, and can cross them off the list at any time.
Even, at this time, if someone has something to do with the government above and spends some money to do it, they can also take the position and replace those officials. Like Suoqi, if the government above does not agree to let him be the county lieutenant, then he has no choice.
It's just that the official position belongs to the official position, but this real power, whether it is Yang Jie or Suo Qi and other rich landlords in Yang's County, will definitely not give it up. Because those are the people and horses they pulled up, as long as those people are said to be their personal guardians, and they are not included in the government system, then no one can command them.
This Wang Leopard just wants to beat those people and horses, which is against Suo Qi.
This is Wang Bao is too simple-minded, how can other people's people give it to you? Wang Bao is asking for some officers and soldiers from Suo Qi these days, wanting to replenish the soldiers he can command. However, just as Wen Shen asked Yang Jie, the county order, to sell grain at a reduced price, it is impossible to have a good result at all.
No, Wang Bao has already hated Suoqi.
Now there is no need to ask for some officers and soldiers for himself, and he also has the ability to recruit full soldiers, and he no longer needs to let everything be pressed on his head, which of course makes Wang Bao happy.
"Some people don't forget to get weapons and equipment, and they have to train, otherwise, they won't be able to fight at all." Liu Xian confessed to Wang Bao again.
"That's right! The current people are dizzy with hunger, and even if they are recruited, it will take a while to recover and train before they can form combat effectiveness. ”
"The people I've arranged should be on the move now, and now they'll have to take some food. After that, people will come from time to time to get food. You recognize people, don't let people pretend to come in and take the food. Liu Xian pointed to the dozen or so men he had brought.
"In addition, there is a way to move this grain out of the city. In a while, someone will come from my Liulin Village. When the time comes...... I'll do it myself. ”
After Liu Xian finished speaking, he commanded the people he brought to move more than 1,000 catties of grain first.
Liu Xian first sent about 100 catties of grain to each soup kitchen. 100 catties of rice grain can already cook more than 1,000 bowls of rice porridge, which is basically enough for every soup kitchen. Each soup kitchen needs 3 to 400 catties of rice every day.
At this time, Wang Bao also asked his men to assemble, and Liu Xian only ordered fifty of them.
Liu Xian did not return to Qian Kuan's inn, and directly asked each officer and soldier to escort a man carrying food to various soup kitchens.
……
The chief Luo Shu that Liu Xian met outside the city gate was not on duty at the city gate that day, so Liu Xian ordered him to take four other soldiers to protect the adult man carrying a hundred catties of rice grain, and went to the soup kitchen outside the south city gate.
"Young Master Liu Xian, I really didn't expect that the city you only entered yesterday afternoon, after such a night, you would be able to make such a big move immediately. Give porridge to the people of the entire county, generous, I admire Luo Shu! Luo Shu flattered Liu Xian step by step and said: "It is really an honor for the villain to follow Liu Xian's son to do things. ”
"Don't come to me to pat me on the back, if you want to soar and become prosperous, then you will do things well in the future, and I Liu Xian will not treat anyone who follows me to do things for me. Nor will I look down on anyone. Liu Xian glanced at him angrily and said.
"Yes, yes...... Now, even our county lieutenant, General Wang Bao, admires Liu Xiangongzi very much, and you obey your son. Naturally, we only obey the orders of the son. ”
At this time, in the county, there were faint shouts everywhere, and then there was a bang, and all kinds of noisy noises and movements spread throughout the county at once.
The first rays of the morning sunshine at this time, it seemed extremely bright from the east to fall in Yangshi County.
