Although the Zhang family's house in the county is not small, there are many slaves and maidservants in the family, and the house is mainly used to live in people, and the money and treasures that the family has accumulated for several generations and cannot be used, as well as the unsold stored grain, alfalfa harvested in the autumn and other things, as well as the armor and weapons collected since the war, are all stored in the fort.

Don't talk about money, just clogs are all about stocking.

Gold and silver treasures, silk and silk, fine grain and pasture, and so on, are piled up.

Huang Rong took a group of officials, who were so busy sweating profusely that they only made a general registration of the seized proceeds according to their types. Gold, silver, and copper coins are easy to say, specific to treasures, clothing, shoes, furniture, etc., if converted into money, how much can be obtained, there is no exact number for a while, and it is necessary to wait for tomorrow, and send professionals to come over to appraise. Valuation of this task, Xin Er handed over to Shi Liang, his family is in business, and there are enough people who know how to do it.

Spent the night at Fort Dock.

The next day, Xin Er ordered Yang Fu and ordered him to bring troops here to take over the care.

When Yang Fu arrived, Huang Rong was left with him as his deputy, and Xin Er returned to the city with Song Pian and Fu Qiao.

Song Pian didn't get off the ox cart all night, and he didn't fall asleep, just after entering the city gate, he ignored Xin Er's invitation to talk to the county government, so he just urged the big slave who was driving, beat the cow's buttocks, and galloped back to his county mansion, thinking about how to report the matter to Song Hong.

Looking at the bumpy ride of his ox cart away, imagine Song Pian's annoyed and embarrassed appearance, Xin Er was in a happy mood.

After a few months in the county, I suffered a lot of idleness from this reluctance, and today I can be regarded as returning it.

Thinking of the harvest, Xin Er's mood is even happier.

Lay down the dock, and the harvest is extremely thick. This money can't be used for military purposes, so you have to pick some good ones to give to Linghu Feng and put some of them into the county government to make an explanation of "cracking down on illegal heroes", but the rest is enough for several months of expenditure in the military camp and horse farm.

Wait for the two families mentioned by Zhang Gui, Le Juan Cai's and Huishui Gong's to be laid, and then pick a few other local tyrants who have enough oil and water and have big grievances to fight a dozen, thinking that without expansion, the annual expenditure of the horse farm can be available.

Fu Qiao smiled and said: "Ming Gong, I haven't slept much all night, I can't bear it, I will also say goodbye and go home." ”

Xin Er smiled and said, "Old man, thank you for your hard work!" This time to attack Zhangwu, you have a good command, Song Cheng does not go to the front line, he supervises the battle in an ox cart, and he is very Confucian general! You two have a lot of merit. In the letter to the Lord, I will surely capitalize on the merits of both of you! The Lord will reward you both in the coming day, but don't forget me! ”

Fu Qiao said bitterly, "Thank you Ming Gong." ”

The garrison of the county soldiers was in the city, and Fu Qiao led the soldiers and horses away.

When they arrived at the county mansion, the four Hu people were waiting for Xin Er.

One is Ba Ruoneng, the other is his younger brother Lu Zhu, and the two are his sons and Qu Yuanguang and Qu Nancheng.

The four of them saw Xin Er's car driving to the table outside the gate of Fubai Mansion.

Xin Er traveled, originally usually rode a horse, but now he has the consciousness of "inviting names", learning the travel habits of celebrities and clear streams, and also sitting on an ox cart. After sitting a few times, it is no wonder that the celebrities and gentlemen are good to sit in this car, compared to the horseback in the wind and dust, the kneeling and sitting of the cart, the ox cart is not only walking slowly and steadily, and the carriage is spacious, there is a curtain outside, and it is indeed comfortable to sit and sit if you want to lie down.

Hearing that the official reported that Ba Ruo could greet the four people, Xin Er ordered the car to stop and pull the curtain down.

The four trotted closer.

Ba Ruoneng said: "Congratulations to Ming Gong, congratulations to Ming Gong!" ”

Xin Er smiled and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"Break through Zhangwu and remove a bully for the township, and the people will be happy. Ming Gong's voice is far away, and the place is small, so he will inevitably be shocked from then on. Ba Ruo could speak, carefully looking at Xin Er's expression.

Xin Er broke his mind with a word, and said with a smile: "Old Neng, are you afraid that I will pursue you?" I know that you had close contacts with the Zhang family in the past, and I also know that you are forced to do so. Don't worry, it's all in the past, as long as you don't have a crooked heart in the future, I won't settle accounts after the fall. ”

Ba Ruo Neng replied: "Yes, yes." ”

He made a look, Yuan Guang and the man became two, one holding a short dagger with a handle inlaid with gold, and the other holding a gemstone necklace, and respectfully presented it.

Xin Er frowned and said, "Didn't I already spread the word to the ministries and forbid gifts?" ”

He said to Ba Ruoneng affectionately, "You eat and sleep at night, move several times in winter and summer, and have to drive the sheep to herd on snowy days, and save up for a year, how much silver can you get?" This bit of belongings is not easy to keep, how can I collect it? Lao Neng, I haven't accepted the many gifts from Tutu and other departments, and I will refuse, but you? The two of us are about brothers, we are a family, don't engage in these boring politeness! ”

After the internal migration of the two departments of Qu and Tutu, especially the Tutu Department, most of their families were killed, and the successor chieftain was panicked and offered gifts to Xin Er several times, but Xin Er refused to do so. and Lugen and Lelie also gave gifts many times, and Xin Er also did not accept them.

It is one not to accept gifts, and before the arrival of the koji ball, when the pastures were allocated to the various Hu herds who migrated inward, Xin Er did not discriminate equally, and it was fair and just.

Whether it is the Hu people or the Tang people, the basic judgment of good and evil is the same, and the honest and fair Shangguan is admired by everyone.

Because of this, among the large and small rates of the Hu people today, there are certainly quite a few people who hate Xiner, but because of Xiner's integrity, there are many people who respect him, especially the low-level herdsmen who have not been damaged by the war, and most of those who hate him can't help but admire his honest and upright side.

"We are about brothers" is talking about the experience of Xin Er learning from the previous generation of Neng Chen's governance of the border, considering that the most people in the canal department, for the sake of stability, he swore a new oath with Ba Ruo Neng and became a brother of different races.

Linghu Feng and Ballian Chinu also swore incense, and the two deceived me, and finally met each other.

Xin Er reflected on why this result occurred for Ling Hu Feng, and came to the conclusion that it was not all because their marriage was out of profit, but more importantly, it was because Ling Hu Feng was blindly arrogant, regarded the bald and red slaves like pigs and dogs, and did not bother to develop feelings with him.

Meng Ziyun: The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard the king as an enemy.

Usually relying on power and shouting to others, in times of crisis, there will be no loyal people.

Learn the lesson of Linghu Feng's negative example, if Xin Er can be respectful and respectful, every three or five times, a small banquet will be set up from time to time to drink with him. What Ba Ruo can think in his heart, Xin Er doesn't know, at least on the surface of the relationship, the two are getting more and more familiar.

Hand in hand, if you can, Xin Er walked into the house.

Koji Zhu, Yuan Guang and Nan Cheng followed suit, following behind.

Yuan Guang raised his head from time to time, quietly glanced at his back, his face was respectful, and he thought in his heart: "I only hate that my father didn't listen to me, and he couldn't get up early!" Now that the war has been defeated, the people have been relocated, and they have to bow down and be small, hateful and hateful! Thinking of his two right-hand man, his heart ached, "It's a pity that my two Jian slaves gave their lives in vain, and the bald Boye of Beishan Xianbei was sold for good!" ”

He was full of unconvinced, but the situation was stronger than people, so he had to surrender for the time being.

That night, Xin Er set up a banquet to celebrate, and Ba Ruoneng, Huang Rong and others returned drunk.

The next day, Shi Liang took more than a dozen men from his family's shops to Zhangjiawu Fort to give an appraisal of the seizure.

Huang Rong took the lead, the county government organized an interrogation, and it took three days for all the arrested people to be punished, including the testimony involving Zhang Jin and his son.

A few days later, Fu Qiao's county soldiers dispatched again and defeated the Cai clan of Lejuan, who raided his home and convicted him.

Then, he beat the Gong who knew how to water.

When fighting the Gong family, it was different from the Zhang family and the Cai family, and there was an internal response.

This should be a local dock fort in Huishui, named Weiwu. Most of the people in the fort are surnamed Wei, who are of the same clan and can be regarded as a big surname of Huishui.

This dock fort and the Gong family have a feud, the two families for the water source, have to fight several times a year, the Gong family has a lot of people, this dock fort can not be beaten, before and after, so there are no less than dozens of people who died, it can be described as a blood feud.

So after hearing that Xin Er had defeated the Zhang family and the Cai family, Wei Shu, the owner of this dock, took the initiative to rush to the county government, asked to see Xin Er, described the rampant cruelty of the Gong family, and asked Xin Er to send troops to destroy it.

The Gong family was one of the dock forts that Xin Er wanted to fight, and he had no choice but to ask for him.

On the day of the attack on Gong's Dock Fort, Xin Er did not go in person, and later listened to Xiang Kui's praise, but he praised Wei Shu's father and son for their courage and bravery, saying that Wei Shu's son Wei Xian dressed up in disguise and led three or four warriors to mix into Gong Wu in advance, and when the county soldiers arrived, they killed and killed dozens of Gong Forts guarding the door and opened the dock door; And Wei Shu wore armor and held a blade, leading the crowd to enter first, and he was unstoppable.

Xiang Kui is majestic, he thinks highly of himself, and he can be praised, Wei Shu's father and son must be very human.

Xin Er was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Wei Shu was appointed as the subordinate governor, except for Wei Xian as a scattered general in the army.

The father and son were left and right by the attendants, and gradually met their cronies.

Gong Wu was laid, and then three of the most notorious Wu Forts were breached.

From the eighth day of April to the end of April, the county soldiers hardly stopped.

After some attack, the big surnames in the county held their breath, the people of the county and township were happy, and the names of the villagers were happy.

On this day, Xin Er led the officials to inspect the prison, only to see that the cells in the prison were crowded with prisoners. For such a guy who bullies the people, how can Xin Er feel distressed? During the interrogation, the jailers did not take a lot of execution, all of them were bloodstained, and the prison was full of wails and moans.

After reading it, Xin Er sighed: "The ancients used prison to grow grass, thinking that they were virtuous. Alas, I am not virtuous enough to make the prison boil! ”

Shi Liang, Huang Rong, Xiang Kui, Koji Jing, Gao Chong and other officials, you look at me, I look at you.

Everyone thought in their hearts: "When I broke the dock and arrested people, I was like a wolf and a tiger, but what did I sigh at this time!" ”

Huang Rong said: "The place has been filthy for a long time, and it cannot be cleaned up unless it is heavy-handed. Ming Gong is now using thunderous means to rain and dew the grace of the people! ”

Xin Er looked at local scholars such as Koji Jing and Gao Chong, and sighed: "You and other high-ranking disciples, it is really difficult to be polite!" In the past few months, I have been eliminated in a row, and there are very few applicants. Ladies and gentlemen, say to me honestly, is it because of my lack of virtue that they refuse to be hired by me? ”

Today's Xin Er is no longer the Xin Agua who silently observed the county when he first arrived in the county, breaking the beard, arresting Zhang Jin and his son, destroying Haoqiang, whatever is taken out, it is strong and decisive.

Koji Jing and other officials heard Xin Er's dissatisfaction, thinking back these days, Xin Er has made a big effort to use the children of the famous clans in various counties, and there are indeed not many responders, can it be said that Xin Er is hated because of this? They looked at each other and changed color.

Gao Chong looked calm, and said slowly: "Chong is a small country clan, a lot of contemptible, and the dog doesn't know the hero." ”

Xin Er sighed for a while: "It's hard for people to know themselves. ”

I don't know if he is following Gao Chong's words to criticize those indigenous right-surnamed children who are unwilling to respond, or whether he is saying that he should not have hired his own generation. After all, this Agua Xin clan is not a first-class person in Longdi, he has no high reputation before, and he has a grudge against Jiankang's first-class crown family, the Zhang family. In all kinds of ways, it is reasonable that the children of the indigenous scholars do not come to apply.

Zhang Gui's two strategies, one is to fight the strong, and the other is to rely on the indigenous people, the former has come to an end, and the latter seems to be not good.

Summer goes and autumn comes.

At the beginning of autumn, an urgent report came from Xihai County.

……

"Pu Mao Chronicles": In the fourth year of Tianxi, in autumn, Xianyang ballad said: "The sycamore is full of birds for the phoenix, and the man is the king for three years and two years." "Taiwei Buqi, the clan is the chief of the Que Ge Ge Department, the Qin lord Pu Chang business "bird" Yu "bird", Zhuqi and his five sons and eleven grandsons.

……

Happy New Year to all!
