Chapter Forty-Seven: Counting in One Fell Swoop

Chen Ziqian lacks skills, and there are not many things he can do now, so he can only pick up the important ones and do them first.

And Anyi County is of great strategic significance, it is the only place they have at the moment, and they must first ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In the afternoon of the next day, when Chen Ziqian and his entourage successfully arrived in Anyi County, Zeng Yuanqi, the government of Yong'an County, also summoned his civil officials and military generals to come to discuss the matter.

In the lobby, Zeng Yuanqi still looked so majestic, but his face looked a little ugly.

Regarding the influx of tens of thousands of displaced people in the direction of Ningzhou, Zeng Yuanqi did not pay attention to it, but now he is about to enter the jurisdiction, and if he does not take action, there will be a big chaos in the county.

"From Ningzhou to Yong'an, there are so many counties and counties on the way, where are these lowly homeless people going, they have to come to me to find death!" Zeng Yuanqi showed a fierce look on his face, snorted coldly and was about to give an order, but a civil official in the hall stood up and arched his hand.

"The lord is angry, and thinks that I can follow the example of other counties and counties, close the gates of the city and keep those homeless people out, and it won't be long before those homeless people will disperse on their own."

"Hmph, a bunch of lowly bedbugs, what if they stay out of the city?" Zeng Yuanqi asked with a dark face.

The civil official replied like a stream: "Don't worry, my lord, those homeless people have come from afar, and their rations are limited, and even if they want to, they won't be able to rely on it for long." ”

"Why bother so much, wouldn't it be easier to cut the grass and eradicate it directly?" Zeng Yuanqi didn't have so much patience, every time something big happened, if the lord and the ministers couldn't reach a consensus of opinion, these people would argue for a long time, and the quarrel would make his head big.

"No, my lord, those homeless people are all from Ningzhou, Ningzhou is currently in the midst of war, those homeless people have experienced hardships and dangers all the way, if they are killed by the lord here, the world will definitely criticize the lord!"

"Sir, that's a mistake." Another military general jumped out and said: "Tens of thousands of displaced people are pressed into the realm, if they are left alone, once they infiltrate Yong'an County, the harm caused is bound to be greater, and then the world will also criticize the lord, and will also scold the lord for being mediocre, and suffer from it if he is indecisive, causing the good situation to fall into chaos." ”

"In the end, I will think that tens of thousands of displaced people are like locusts pressing the territory, and if we do not eradicate them as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zeng Yuanqi thought deeply when he heard this, slapped the table and got up and said, "I have made up my mind, Han Sheng listens to the order!" ”

"Report!" Before Zeng Yuanqi could issue a military order, a shout suddenly came from outside the door, and a soldier rushed in and reported: "Lord Qiqi, the ten major families such as the Wuling Chen family, the Tailin Liu family, and the Jingmen Wang family, have gathered three thousand stone of grain, and have gone out of the north gate to help those Ningzhou displaced people. ”

"What!?" Zeng Yuanqi's face immediately became gloomy: "How can this be reasonable, I want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but they are giving food relief at this time, what do they want to do, do they want to rebel?" ”

"Han Sheng listens to orders!" Zeng Yuanqi said angrily: "I order you to immediately lead five thousand elites out of the north gate and kill all those homeless people, if the people of the family dare to stop them, they will be killed together!" ”

"Whoa!"

There was a murderous aura in the entire mansion, and everyone was trembling when they saw Zeng Yuanqi being angry, only Zhao Wengong hurriedly knelt down and shouted at this time: "The lord can't do it, the lord!" ”

"Even Wengong wants to stop me!?" Zeng Yuanqi squinted his eyes slightly, and there was an undisguised murderous intent emanating from his face.

Zhao Wengong swallowed his saliva, although he was afraid in his heart, he also explained truthfully: "Lord, please listen to me, if the family has not come forward, those homeless people will be killed, but now the people of the family will help the homeless people with 3,000 stone grain, they are benevolent people, if the lord sends troops to kill now, then it is a great evildoer, the world will definitely accuse my lord of cruelty and murder, and destroy human nature, and then the corporal of the world will definitely spurn my lord and damage my lord's reputation." ”

After Zhao Wengong finished speaking, he didn't forget to straighten up and added: "The chaos in the world is coming, my lord is the hero of the world who wants to dominate the world one day, how can he depreciate himself because of the mere exiles, and let the world misregard my lord?" It's not worth it, it's not worth it! ”

Zeng Yuanqi took a deep breath when he heard this, his tyranny is true, but his ambition is also true, when he heard this, he immediately walked down the hall and picked up Zhao Wengong: "Mr. is like Hong Zhong Dalu, I almost made a big mistake, Mr. please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhao Wengong breathed a sigh of relief, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he grabbed Zeng Yuanqi's arm with his backhand and said: "Lord, this is a godsend, these homeless people came from Ningzhou through hardships and dangers, and all the counties and counties on the way are closed city gates, and these homeless people are all afraid of tigers and wolves, but now they are displaced to my Yong'an County, the local family not only gives food to the stomach, but my Yong'an County is also taking the initiative to open the city to contain it, if such a good name is rumored to go out, the world's heroes will be able to come to serve one after another, just for my lord to dominate the world in the future, Gather more famous ministers and generals in advance. ”

"Hiss~~~" Zeng Yuanqi gasped, and a pair of eyes flashed even more, but they quickly dimmed again: "But those are tens of thousands of refugees, how should they be resettled if they are let in?" ”

Zeng Yuanqi's words immediately aroused discussions among the military officials in the court, and if the disaster of the displaced people is not suppressed well, it will inevitably lead to a major catastrophe, and the slightest carelessness may lead to destruction, which is a lesson from the past in history.

The bloody lesson is not allowed to leave anything to chance.

Zhao Wengong couldn't answer for a while, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of Anyi County, and immediately arched his hand: "Lord, the registered population of Anyi County is getting smaller and smaller, if you can drive the displaced people over, you can not only supplement Anyi County, but also promote the name of benevolence of the lord, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Anyi County?" Zeng Yuanqi frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought: "A few days ago, I just handed over Anyi County to Chen Ziqian, that kid, I heard that he was still feasting guests in Wuling to celebrate his brave rejection of the rebels in the north, and now he threw so many homeless people to him, can he do it?" ”

"This doesn't need to worry about the lord, as long as the lord orders, he has to do it, and if he doesn't do it, he has to do it, if it doesn't work, let those families continue to provide food and support, as long as the homeless people have something to eat, they can't make any waves." Zhao Wengong said very confidently.

Zeng Yuanqi also nodded: "In this way, I will give Chen County Decree some more grace, the bandits and bandits in Anyi County will be a disaster, with the ability of Chen County's Order, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of these tens of thousands of homeless people, I will allow him another 2,000 soldiers and horses to help him suppress the bandits." In addition, a notice was posted on the list, all merchants who went to Anyi to do business were given a year of tax exemption benefits, so many homeless people had to eat and drink, and forcing those families to provide relief could have some effect, but after a long time, it was inevitable that they would have resentment in their hearts, so as not to cause more trouble at that time. ”

"This ......" Zhao Wengong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, but looking at Zeng Yuanqi, who had been completely lost in the ambition of fighting for hegemony in front of him, he had to pretend to be admired: "My lord is thoughtful, so that it not only solves the disaster of the displaced people, but also in addition to the disaster of Anyi bandits, and also supplements the problem of Anyi's household registration, and also gives grace to Chen County's order, and lets the world see that I am Yong'an and one of my lord's wise and martial arts, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop. ”

"My lord is wise!" Everyone in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.

"Hahahaha......" Zeng Yuanqi laughed heartily when he heard this, the problem that could have been solved by a single killing, after such a trouble, in exchange for so much reward, how could he not be happy?

But Chen Ziqian, who was far away in Anyi County, was even happier than Zeng Yuanqi when he learned the news, and even fell to the ground with a smile.

"It's really a one-swoop, a good one, hahahaha......"

Chen Ziqian's tears of laughter came out, he had never seen such a stupid person, not only helped him solve the most difficult problems in front of him, but also took the initiative to send the people he needed.

Is this because his development is too slow, send some people over to let him speed up?

"Everyone's listening!" Chen Ziqian was in the county office, and after laughing for a while, he straightened his face and said: "Ordered Luo Yixiu to be the county minister, responsible for civil affairs and the resettlement of displaced people. ”

"Whoa!"

"Fang Changping listened to the order and ordered you to be the county lieutenant, responsible for receiving the two thousand soldiers and horses from the county town, and ordered you to break up all the original establishments, starting from the army commander, and replace all positions with your own people."

"Whoa!"

"Pang Jian first listened to the order and ordered you to be the arsenal order, responsible for repairing and building all the ordnance and armor of our army for future conscription."

"Hmm!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the development of the situation is much smoother than expected, but now it is still not time to relax, we now have tens of thousands of displaced people who need to be resettled, there are bandits outside the threat at all times, and there are more guards in the distance, we need to develop people's livelihood and commerce as soon as possible, and recruit troops and horses as soon as possible to build a city defense base, only in this way can we really gain a firm foothold in this acre and three points of land, time is not waiting, do you have confidence?"

Chen Ziqian roared excitedly, but everyone in the hall was blindfolded.

Lord, this is in ...... Boost morale?
