Yu Ban told Su Xiu about the plan he had come up with to suppress bandits, after all, Bao Xin invited him this time to suppress bandits, so he still had a draft in his heart, and the last time he drank with Su Xiu in Pei County, he felt that the young man in front of him was very organized in both talking and doing, and he really looked like a person who did great things.

At the same time, Yu Ban was also observing Su Xiu's reaction, only to see him frowning from time to time, and nodding from time to time, he was indeed listening carefully to his opinions, and thinking about the feasibility of these opinions, Yu Ban was also more assured, Taishan County has such a county guard, if the officers and soldiers can be mobilized to suppress the bandits with them, it seems really feasible to completely eradicate this bandit who has been entrenched in Mount Tai for many years.

After listening to Yu Ban's suggestion, Su Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Wen Ze, the method you said can indeed work, but Xiu has a reluctant request, and I hope Brother Wen Ze can agree." ”

"What do you have to say, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, dare not obey your orders."

"That's the case, Wen Ze has been in Mount Tai for many years, and he must also know how the county soldiers of Taishan County are, Xiu wants to invite Wen Ze to serve as the captain, first, you are a Taishan person, and the military camp has many xenophobic habits, and you will not cause much backlash if you are in charge of it, plus you are famous in Taishan County, the strongest person in the military camp, I believe that you can be well integrated; Second, the military discipline of the county soldiers is now lax, and it is urgent to have brave and strategic generals to improve it; Third, the plan to suppress the bandits was thought of by you, and I believe that it will be more targeted for you to train. ”

Hearing Su Xiu's request, Yu Ban felt a dilemma in his heart, first of all, the group of villagers he brought out, I don't know if they will go with him, after all, once they are all gone, then the safety of the hometown cannot be guaranteed before the bandits are eliminated, and although the agreement between himself and Bao Xin was not fully agreed, it is not easy to explain if he left like this. After thinking about it, I still couldn't think of a way to do both, so I expressed my worries.

Who expected Su Xiu to laugh after hearing this: "Wen Ze, Wen Ze, you are so smart for a lifetime, why are you so confused in this matter?" Xiangyong is pulled out by you, for your training method I believe they must have fully known, even if you are gone, they can continue to train qualified Xiangyong, now the sawing of the Xiangyong can be with you to take office, when the time comes, it will be a separate battalion, and it can also play an exemplary role in the army. As for the sawing side, you can leave a few people with sharp bodies and flexible minds to continue training, and when the bandits are cleared, wouldn't it be better if they also join the county soldiers?

As for Bao Xin's side, first of all, you haven't officially replied to him yet, so how to stay is naturally up to you, Bao Xin I also know a little bit about this person, a bit of martial arts and conspiracy, but it's a great achievement, I believe that the biggest purpose of him letting you fight bandits together is to win his reputation and pave the way for his future career. I heard that he seems to have just become the county lieutenant of Pingyang County, if you succeed in suppressing the bandits alone with him this time, then he will definitely be rewarded by the imperial court, how will you deal with yourself at that time, will you be a tooth general under him, or find another way out? ”

It was not the same as forbidding him to speak, Su Xiu continued: "I am new to the city, whether it is a civil or military official, there will definitely be a disobedience to me, so I will soon clean up the officials of the whole county, and the county captain is in charge of the soldiers and horses of a county, how can it be handed over to those who are vegetarians?" As for my own ability, I know that if I want to say that Mount Tai will be built into a situation where the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night, I am not able to do it, but I believe that as long as our Taishan County is no longer a place where everyone shouts and fears, then talents will naturally be willing to come, and then there will be a real scene of people being rich and not closing their doors at night.

And what we have to do now is to make people feel safe in Taishan County, if you want to be safe, then only the county soldiers are strong, no matter who you dare to bully our people at will, I still remember that Emperor Xiaowu said, 'Those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away', and those who commit the same offense to Taishan will be destroyed although they are strong. Brother Wen Ze still remember what I told you in Pei County, Taishan County will definitely change within half a year, is Wen Ze willing to work with me to change the status quo of your hometown? ”

How could Yu Ban be unwilling, he was simply too willing, at the beginning, Yu Ban organized the village bravery, and later considered Bao Xin's suggestion, and went around to seek help from officers and soldiers, isn't the purpose to make Taishan County no longer bothered by bandits, besides, Su Xiu's words have been said about this, Yu Ban himself feels that if he twists and pinches again, it will be too much to say.

So Yu Ban knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Thank you for your cultivation, Ban will live up to the trust of adults, train soldiers as soon as possible, and strengthen my Taishan County." ”

"Okay, if you have a text, help me, why worry about the thieves not being destroyed, why worry about Mount Tai not being prosperous! Hahahaha...... Xiaohai, take out the wine I brought, today I want to get drunk with Wen Ze. ”

Su Xiu was very happy to see that Yu Ban agreed, Wang Hai did not interject on the side, and he was also very excited to hear this, when he was in Pei County, if it wasn't for the help of these two people in front of him, he might have starved to death and froze to death, where can he still watch the two benefactors talk and laugh here.

"Okay, Brother Yu, you have a good mouth this time, Big Brother This wine is a unique secret system, last time I went to Xiapi Brother to sell the method of brewing this wine to the Mi family, and made thousands of gold, even the head of the Mi family said that this wine should only be in the sky."

"Okay, Xiaohai, don't hard, I'll be blown out by you before I drink. But Wen Ze, although what Xiao Hai said is a bit exaggerated, but this wine is really brewed by me, you can taste it later, when I was in Yingchuan, the head of the academy also snatched a lot of pots from me. ”

"Okay, my lord, you sit here for a while, I'll go and tell my mother to let her cook some good food today, and I'll go find two of our townspeople who are more clever to explain, I'll go and go back."

"That's okay, then you can go, but you have to tell your fellow villagers that if you are willing to be a soldier, I, Su Xiu, will never deduct food and salary, and I will pay it twice; I don't want to go, I don't force it, and I still pay money to train the village warriors, and when the bandits are cleared, all qualified village warriors can be given priority to enter the county as soldiers. And when you settle down in Fenggao, take your family over, so that you can take care of it. ”

After listening to Yu Ban, he became more and more convinced that his choice was not wrong, and he would be happier to follow such a sympathetic subordinate boss, but he was not a person who was good at showing it, so he didn't say anything, and turned around and went out after answering.

……

After returning to Fenggao, Su Xiu immediately asked Wang Hai to bring a letter to Mi Zhu, retrieve the money deposited in Mi Zhu, and bring back some wine by the way. At the same time, a series of decrees were promulgated in Taishan County: first, to encourage agriculture and mulberry and encourage land reclamation. However, all the income from land reclamation will be listed as personal land after being measured and registered by the government, and the tax will be exempted from paying taxes within one year, and the taxes will be halved within three years; The second is to improve the status of craftsmen. Anyone who has a skill, regardless of the branch, can work in the craftsman workshop purchased by the county government, and is paid a monthly salary according to his ability; The third is to encourage business. The county government will protect and provide corresponding incentives for those who deal in non-government-controlled goods. Anyone who deals in grain, iron ore and other materials without permission will be severely punished according to the crime of smuggling, and at the same time, grain, iron ore and other materials can only enter but not leave; Fourth, encourage joining the army. If one member of the family joins the army, the county government will exempt the military family from paying taxes, and those who join the army will be given subsidies according to the actual situation; Fifth, the rule of officials should be purged. All officials of Taishan County who commit crimes, bend the law for bribes, and disregard human lives will be severely punished, and at the same time, officials must accept the supervision of the people......

As soon as the decree was issued, the people of the whole county were all happy, and the people who were still worried about survival seemed to see the hope of life, and everyone rushed to tell each other. At the same time, Suxiu's county guard will have all kinds of people come to the door every day, complaining, doing business, craftsmen and so on. Su Xiu's new official took office, the first fire is very strong, except for the officials who have not dealt with it for the time being, the others are actively preparing.

In late July, Yu Ban and Wang Hai rushed back to Fenggao successively, and Su Xiu immediately began to reorganize the county soldiers. We will expel all those officers and men who are old, weak, sick and disabled, who are paid under the name of a person, who misbehave in a disorderly manner, who oppress the people, and so on. At the same time, those officials who have been prosecuted will be removed from their posts, and they will begin to select and appoint people who are capable of holding important posts in the military and political system.
