The governor of Shanhai County is a local who has lived here for more than 50 years and has witnessed the process of Shanhai County from nothing to something, from prosperity to decline.

He looks very old, and he also has the twilight and majesty of an old lady from a big family.

After meeting with Wang Lanling, he didn't care about it, and handed over the major affairs in the county to Wang Lanling, an official student.

Shanhai County does not have much contact with the rest of the county, and even with the county government, only the county government comes to look for them, and basically there are only two or three government affairs exchanges a year.

In previous years, when I encountered bandits, I solved them by myself.

The locals also organized themselves to defend themselves and fought off the horse thieves, but they were soon reported by the rest of the county and disarmed by a piece of paper.

Wang Lanling returned to the county office, he is now the master of this Shanhai County, and the governor has handed over everything to him, whether it is real power, popularity and financial resources, he has it.

"The first thing to be solved is the problem of public security, and only when public order is good can we develop steadily."

Wang Lanling talked to Hu Zhong and others about the next arrangements during the meal.

"Now that winter is approaching, it will be a harsh winter in another month or two, and it will be a lot more troublesome to do things then."

Hu Zhong said: "The cattle and sheep of our tribe are all problems, and every year before winter, some horse thieves will rob everywhere, and in the past two years, many places have not been able to change things from outside, and there are more and more horse thieves." ”

The horse thieves are not all from Jinshan County, nor are they from those cottages in the mountains, but more of them are family thugs in other counties, and even officers and soldiers who make extra money.

is like Jin Ji Jinnu, who was caught by officers and soldiers and sold as a slave.

Wang Lanling said: "A stable place is a good place, just relying on the policy of tax exemption for a few years, you can't recruit people here in Muzhou, and the more people come, the greater the attraction for the rest of the people." ”

Hu Zhong nodded, this is how his own tribe has grown.

Hu Camel said: "The problem of public security is to repel those people, right? It's easy! ”

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "It's not that simple, Hu Huo, your tribe also needs someone to take care of, I will take someone back tomorrow morning, and when I need help from here, I will call you again." The problem now is to prioritize the preservation of every territory, not only the Iron Camel Tribe, but also the Yanshan Lake Tribe! ”

Hu Huo agreed, he came to help because of Hu Zhong's relationship, and he didn't have to follow Wang Lanling for the rest of his life.

Even if Wang Lanling doesn't say it, he and his brothers won't be able to stay here for long, and the family still needs someone to take care of them.

Wang Lanling continued: "Don't you all have fields and cattle and sheep there? I'm going to trade with your two tribes first, exchanging something for something. ”

Hu Zhong said: "I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome, except for some iron products and guns and ammunition, many things in the tribe are found by themselves, fertilizer, food, clothes, porcelain, these basically will not be bought. ”

It is not easy to establish a trading system, except in the case of hard currency such as opium bullets, and ordinary things simply cannot open the market of an agricultural country.

In the era of small-scale peasant economy, people took pride in being industrious and thrifty, had a very low desire to consume, and many things would be made by themselves, and everyone was made into a craftsman by life.

If there are no rich people around, it is extremely difficult to get everyone out of poverty through trade.

Wang Lanling said: "It's not about making money and selling money, it's about trade, it's about taking what you need, and exchanging what you can sell at home for what you need, and I will be responsible for making regulations on the specific price, which needs to be decided after inspection, and first understand the local prices and scarcity." ”

Hu Zhong has been an official and businessman for a period of time, although he followed the shepherd as a follower, but he did not learn a lot.

"What my lord said is very true, there are mostly some cattle, sheep and wheat in our tribe, but there are not many of them, except for what I offer to you, there are not many others, so there is no need to bother so much."

Hu Zhong felt that Wang Lanling should go to a bigger tribe to do business, and said: "The largest tribe in Yanshan County is the Yanwang tribe, which has more than 100,000 people, and the more is the county seat. ”

Hu Camel said: "Our tribe has no arable land, they all migrate with the pasture, and every year we have to send cattle and sheep to the Yanwang tribe, and the Yanwang tribe will pay taxes to Yanshan County on our behalf." ”

The management system of Muzhou is very complex, with officials, soldiers, pioneers, herdsmen, local city dwellers, aliens, sinners, fugitives, and bandits.

The most complicated thing in this is the official, and there are many complex branches in this branch, such as the chief official like Wang Lanling, as well as various subordinate institutions.

Wang Lanling thought for a while, "There is no problem with grain and meat here, grain, oil and vegetables can be solved from the field and from cattle and sheep, so how is the fuel problem solved here in the city?" ”

Hu Zhong said: "People in the city use corn stalks and wheat stalks, which are not burned endlessly, and there is a lot of surplus every year, which is usually used for composting or building houses. ”

The benefits of fewer people and fewer people, the problems that more than 100,000 people need to face, and the problems that hundreds of thousands of people in Heishui County have to face, are not the same quantity.

In Heishui County, many places close to the city are bald, while many places in Shanhai County are grassy.

Wang Lanling did come to a poor place, and poor places are also good in poor places, he doesn't need to take care of many things, and people will solve them themselves.

"Then let's go back to the issue of law and order, for now it is to strengthen patrols, and at the same time allow some people to form a militia team to defend themselves, for the time being, wait for my family and subordinates to come, and then carry out the next plan."

"In addition, we will send people to post notices at the gates of several nearby counties to explain the policy of our side and recruit people of insight to serve in the county."

Wang Lanling's background is still a follow-up army, after those people come, Wang Lanling is going to end the nest of those horse thieves nearby!!

Hu Zhong said: "I will handle this matter, I know some people, and I will go over to ask them later, see if they can come." ”

In Heishui County, no matter what you do, as long as you find Wang Lanling, it will be much easier, and others will also give you face.

In the vicinity of Yanshan Lake, Hu Zhong's status is like this.

Not only here in Yanshan Lake, but his reputation is useful in several places nearby, and he is the kind of person who will give face in both black and white.

But that's just it, Wang Lanling never needs the underworld people to give him face, and the empire never needs the kind of underworld that gives face to the official family.

Hu Zhong needs horse thieves to give him face and not attack his tribe, while Wang Lanling doesn't need this kind of face, those horse thieves don't have this qualification.

Do you really think that Shanzhou people are easy to mess with?
