Chapter 305: Defend Qingyun City
These officials and masters of the imperial court have always had no concept of time, saying that it will be soon, maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe longer, and when they act, the daylilies will be cold.
"Master Wang, don't worry about this, the court must be prepared for a war, this grain and grass need to be prepared, and the military salary also needs to be prepared, I have already written to the court three months ago, and it is estimated that it will be soon", the county magistrate said
"I went to the book three months ago, but I still haven't prepared it yet? This efficiency is so slow, if it drags on like this, my old Wang will be finished," Wang Laohu said
"Master Wang, I'm just a little county master, you see that my yamen is just such a servant, they can't help you, besides, those people in the military department are still responsible for defending the city and maintaining the safety of Qingyun City, and I can't spare people." , the county magistrate said
"Otherwise, Master Wang, you can also recruit martial arts masters to protect your goods, as long as you don't do too much, I will not be able to see it", the county master said
"My eldest lord, this is what you said, if I have no one to protect me, I really can't live, you see that I have been troubled by them in the past few months", Wang Laohu chased his brows and said with a sad face
"I told you before, you can raise a group of people who take care of the family, you can't do it, you need to find some good martial arts, this year, you see who doesn't raise some martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes to protect you, just your old king is stubborn", the county lord said
"Didn't I think you would be here to be my backer?" Wang Laohu said
"The key is that my backer is too small, and I don't have the officials behind those families," the county magistrate said helplessly
"Your promotion in a hurry, so that I can rely on you in the future, as long as you need silver, you can say it, my old Wang family is your treasury, you can mention it at any time", Wang Laohu said seriously
"I believe you in this, I'm not trying to find an opportunity to be promoted, who knows that I will encounter the group of guys in Heifenggang to make trouble, otherwise I would have been promoted", the county magistrate said
It's also annoying, it should have been promoted a year ago, who knew that the thieves who met Heifenggang got into trouble and made trouble, and the Ouchi guards sent by the imperial court were all wiped out, and the emperor was all counted on the head of the county master.
Such a big thing happened in your territory, and you county master didn't even notice it.
There are so many cottages near Qingyun, so many bandits, if you don't take the initiative to clean it up, now it has developed into hundreds of thousands, and your county master of Qingyun City has an unshirkable responsibility.
The emperor was furious and withdrew the appointment for promotion. This county master is also very aggrieved, it's not that I don't go to clean up, it's that I can't beat people at all, what can I do.
Now this Heifenggang bandit is about to attack Qingyun every once in a while, and the county master is also very helpless. If Qingyun City is lost, the emperor will not destroy my nine clans.
So the disputes between your four major families, you can take care of them yourself, I don't have the mood or energy to participate.
What am I involved in? No matter how you fight, after all, it is an internal contradiction, who lies down, who plants it, has nothing to do with my county master, and it will not affect my interests.
Although Master Wang is very close to him, he can be replaced. Lao Wang falls, Lao Xue will come over, as long as you are in Qingyun City, as long as you want me to open one eye and close one eye, you must block my mouth, so I don't have to worry about any of you if I fall.
Wang Laohu's goal has been achieved, and naturally he will no longer embarrass the county master, this old fox is cunning, and it makes no sense to consume it any longer, since you asked me to recruit guards, then the existence of my family soldiers is reasonable.
After bidding farewell to the county master, Wang Laohu hummed a little song and returned home, and now there is only the group of bandits in Heifenggang, as long as the court cleans up the group of bandits in Heifenggang, the world of Qingyun will be their own from now on.
Now this hundred truckloads of goods are enough for two months, and it doesn't hurt to wait for two months.
After this batch of goods is sold, the private salt of the Cao Gang can be purchased at a low price, and then sold at a high price, so that the silver of the palace will flow again, as long as the silver is alive, everything will be easy to do.
"Let's see if Wang Laohu is gone", the county magistrate patted his chest and said
I'm dying, I've finally coped with this thing. I can't take other people's hands short, I haven't taken Wang Laohu's money less over the years, and it is natural for people to come to do things for themselves.
It's just that his matter is a little difficult to do, on one side are the three families, and the black wind gang outside, which is all hard stubble, and he can't gnaw on any of them.
"Master, Wang Laohu is gone, and he is far away", the master said with a smile
"It seems that this old Wang is also forced by those few families, during this time, the Xue family and the Zhao family are a little too eye-catching, blatantly recruiting martial arts people, this old Wang family has been robbed of a lot of goods", the master said
"What do I do? I don't have the strength to help, those Jianghu martial arts masters, who do you think is their opponent in our yamen, when it comes to these martial arts miscellaneous pieces, I will make a fire, that lewd thief has killed Lao Tzu miserably", the county magistrate said with annoyance
"That thief hasn't appeared for a long time, so he should have been killed," said the master
"It's better to be killed, that lewd thief who killed a thousand knives has harmed Lao Tzu's mother-in-law, I really want to cut him with a thousand knives", the county magistrate said
"Don't worry, sir, it's been more than a year, that guy didn't appear, he must be dead, this river and lake is a place of right and wrong, that kind of person's life is like a mustard, and he will be killed anytime and anywhere", the master said
"I hope that Lao Tzu's backyard has been peaceful for more than a year," said the county magistrate
"Alas, this year has been really eventful," the county magistrate said helplessly
"But isn't it, this Black Flag Army is making too much trouble, almost all the villages on the periphery of Qingyun have been looted and emptied by these people, and they are all empty within a radius of hundreds of miles," the master said
"I can't control so much, I just need to keep Qingyun City now, as for the people outside the city, let them ask for more blessings", the county magistrate said helplessly
Now there are no troops out of the city at all, so many generals have died, how can there be more people with troops, let these few honestly defend the city at present.
As long as you don't leave the city, those Black Flag troops outside will never want to attack them.
The people outside the city, let them wait until the large army of the imperial court comes to rescue them.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing, have you checked the city defense records every day?" The county magistrate asked
"I've been checking all the time, and there's nothing suspicious," the master said
"Tell the generals defending the city that they must investigate strictly, and don't let the spies of the Black Flag Army in," said the county magistrate
"Don't worry, sir, they won't get in," said the master
