The eight counties of Yunbei, in addition to Chicheng and Ye counties, also have Chen County, Chima County, and Fufeng County.

These three counties, like Chicheng, are located north of the Yellow River and the Great Wall, and have been poor and weak since ancient times. In particular, the disasters of previous years have made matters worse. Although they are a little further south than Chicheng and Yexian, the geographical conditions are much better, but the situation is not much better.

After the construction of Qin Wang, the two counties of Chicheng are generally not prosperous, but at least the people have enough to eat. In particular, the tea and horse market is about to open, and the two counties have attracted countless people in Yunzhou, and there is already a trend of prosperity. A large part of these Dingkou are from these three counties, and it can even be said that they have absorbed all the people from the three counties.

Chen County is the poorest of the three counties, walking on the ground of Chen County, everything Qin Forget saw can only be described as shocking.

In the land of a county in Nuoda, the people are hard to find for ten miles, and countless lands are barren, and only lush weeds grow on them. Only a village can be seen every dozen miles. There were only a few old people left in the village, some women and some urchins, and there was not a single one in sight.

"Dongjia, this Chen County is probably worse than the original Chicheng." Looking at the situation in front of him, Gu Feng frowned and said.

"As soon as the tea and horse market opened, I Chicheng did everything possible to recruit the population. The young men of these three counties must have gone to Chicheng and Ye County, and now that we have taken over these three counties, I am afraid that we will have to reap the consequences. Qin Forget nodded and said with a wry smile.

"That can't knock those young people back to their hometowns, the current Akagi really needs them." Gu Feng was a little worried that Qin Forget would change his strategy, and admonished vaguely.

"You're right, you can't let them go back to their hometown now, no matter what. But we still seem to be a little too sensitive, and the hukou system we implement is a little too extreme. Gu Feng, the household registration system is here, during this period of time, Chicheng and Ye County have also robbed more than 100,000 people from these three counties, and if it continues, not only the two counties of Chicheng can't bear it, but there is really no one in the other three counties. Qin Forget understood the meaning of the ancient seal, and smiled slightly and did not break it.

"That's fine." Gu Feng pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "After all, they are all under the rule of the general, so they can't be so favoritism." The previous household registration system was a last resort for fearing that the imperial court would not assign these three counties to the generals. Now that the wood is in place, it doesn't have to be that way. Anyway, some of the two counties in Chicheng are working, and the people of the three counties are also willing to go to Chicheng to find work, which will not affect the development of Chicheng. Besides, Chicheng and Yexian have gathered nearly 300,000 people, and they are about to burst the two counties. ”

The two walked as they talked, and the closer they got to Chen County, the more they realized that Chen County was not as dilapidated as they had just seen. The two of them walked all the way and actually saw four or five huge polders. These polders are generally built around the village in clans, ranging from dozens of small households to hundreds of large households

Build a high wall and build a village to protect yourself. There is land, water, and a different number of village soldiers in the polder, in this troubled era, it can not only prevent banditry and military disasters, but also fight against the government, just like a small kingdom.

Along the way, Qin Forget noticed that many village soldiers on the polder were staring at their group of dozens with vigilant faces. The villagers on these polders were not only fully armed, but also could see a small amount of armor, bows and arrows, and the sharp-eyed Qin Forget actually found that several village soldiers were holding heavy weapons such as bows and crossbows in their hands. Seeing so many independent forces and such weapons, Qin Wang's brows furrowed deeply.

"Chen Wangchun!" He called out sullenly, and Chen Wangchun, who had not spoken since he entered Chen County, was beside him.

"Yes." Chen Wangchun replied in a muffled voice, and the surrounding Gu Feng and the others glanced at him in surprise.

Only Qin Wangchun and Chen Wangchun knew that stepping on this homeland that he loved and hated at the same time, Chen Wangchun was inevitably a little emotional.

"You kid, give me a little spirit. I will definitely honor what I promised you. Qin Forget patted him on the shoulder and said softly.

What did you promise him? The people around were even more surprised, but no one asked.

"Alright, tell me what's going on with these polders." Qin Forget pointed to a big weizi in the distance and asked.

It seemed that Qin Wangchun's words had an effect, Chen Wangchun's face was a little better, he looked at the huge polder next to him, and his eyes revealed an angry light, "These are all built by some big landlords, in that year's disaster year, countless disaster victims ran to those polders for rescue, these people not only did not save, but instead sent people to shoot arrows from the wall to stop the victims, killing a lot of people." It's all some guys who are not kind to the rich. ”

Chen Wangchun gritted his teeth when he said it, but Qin Wangchun was noncommittal. In that case, no one has the ability to save so many people, and letting them in will only drag them into the water. Although it is inhumane, but it is also a last resort, Qin forgot to ask himself, if it was him, he would not open the gate of the village to let those victims in.

"How many of these landlords are really heinous?" Ancient seal interface road.

"All of them are heinous, and they should all be killed." Chen Wangchun's little face turned red with anger.

Gu Feng and Qin Wangchun glanced at each other with a wry smile, Chen Wangchun was still a child, so it was inevitable that he would think less, and coupled with his previous tragic experience, it was not strange to say such extreme words at all. It seems that if you want to straighten out the affairs of Chen County, it is impossible to rely on this little angry youth.

Just when the two of them were worried, the gate of the polder not far away opened, and a person rode towards Qin Wang's group.

Duan Jiu and Jin Wu hurriedly rode their horses in front of Qin Wang, looking at the people with a wary face, and the dozens of guards around them were the same, their weapons were unsheathed one after another, and their whole bodies were on guard.

The person who came quickly ran to a few feet in front of Qin Wang

, The right hand gently pulled the reins, and the war horse under the crotch neighed, and the person stood up and immediately stopped.

"Good riding!" Seeing that the person who came showed his hand, Duan Jiu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Qin Forget took a rough look at the knight, he was wearing a brown coarse linen robe, but he was heroic. In particular, a thin and rigid face gives people a sense of sharpness.

"Li Dang, the head of the family Ding in Xiashui Village, Chen County, has seen several nobles, and I don't know which one is the newly appointed Lord Qin, the captain of the Eight Counties Zhiguo!" The knight turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists at Qin Forget and the others, and shouted.

Qin Forget was surprised, they and their group visited the five counties privately, and they were not ostentatious along the way, but they didn't expect to be broken by someone as soon as they set foot in Chen County.

"I am, who are you? Why is this happening? Qin Forget pinched the horse's belly, crossed Duan Jiu and the two of them, looked down at Li Dang and asked.

Seeing Qin Forget come out, Li Dang was slightly surprised by Qin Wang's age, but soon his face returned to normal, and he bowed down and knelt down, "Grass people Li Dare has seen Lord Duwei, and Li Fugui, the head of Xiashui Village, respectfully invites the adults to enter the village for a while, and slightly enter the friendship of the landlord." ”

Li Fugui? Qin Wangchun looked at Chen Wangchun suspiciously.

Chen Wangchun understood, took a few steps forward, and attached his ear to Qin Wang's side, "Xiashui Village is a well-known and wealthy village in Chen County. Weizi is also the largest in Chen County, and the village chief Li Fugui is sleek and very methodical, and even the county magistrate of Chen County has to respect him for three points. The general is cautious, don't fall into the trap of the gangsters. ”

After listening to Chen Wangchun's words, Qin Wangchun groaned, and for a while he couldn't decide whether to go in or not. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, his eyes are black on the situation in Chen County, and it is even more difficult to distinguish whether this Li Fugui is an enemy or a friend. However, he was a little curious about this Li Fugui. can grasp his whereabouts so accurately and judge his identity, it seems that he is a capable person.

"Okay, lead the way." Qin Forget thought about it, and finally agreed.

"General, no, this person's origin is unknown, if he falls into that Rausch sub-water village, it will be difficult to fly." Hearing that Qin Forget had actually agreed, Duan Jiu objected anxiously.

"It's okay, if you dare to disadvantage me, you have to think about the lives of the whole village. Is that right? Li Dare? Qin Wangwei smiled slightly, looked at Li Dare and said.

"This general doesn't have to be careful, give me 10,000 guts in Xiashui Village, and don't dare to think about adults, this move is completely out of good intentions." Seeing Qin Wang's gaze that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and not cold, Li Dang shook his spirit and said to Duan Jiu.

"Alright, let's go into the village." Qin Forget waved his hand and took the lead in walking forward.

Duan Jiu and Jin Wu hurriedly followed, and the group surrounded Qin Forget in the middle, looking like they were facing a great enemy. Qin Forget knew that they were worried, and he didn't break it.
