The official office of Fu County, the county respected the news that a large number of people abandoned the land and fled, and they panicked for a while, and their hands and feet were cold. I felt the cold wind blowing in my back.

The people under the rule fled into Huluyu and joined the Black Tiger Village, but not to mention the rapid expansion of the strength of the Black Tiger Village for a while, leaving a disaster for the stability of the county in the future. You must know that this tax and conscription are all on the heads of these small people, and those big gentry and gentry are strong, where do they pay a little bit? Also, this rich county bears the name of the big county in Yan'an Prefecture, and the tax and conscription have always been the first in Yansui.

However, the border army broke the county seat, the guards fled and lost everything, and the county, those who could get their hands on it were also standing under the dozens of officials and helpers, where was the slightest strength to compete with the thieves who used to roar outside the city? Now, every day, the county respects the three classes of officials, asking God to worship the Buddha and hope that God will open his eyes, and it is only right to let the thieves kill into the city, that is Amitabha Buddha, encirclement and attack? Fight with the pole for the populace? Forget it.

For today's plan, it is to report according to the truth, say that the pole thieves, poison the place, plunder the mouth, seeing that this land is rich is to become a white land, please send troops to suppress the thieves, and at the same time make an excuse for the future tax burden. If you have a headache, you should go to the peak, and you still ask God to tell the Buddha and bless yourself not to be poured into the city by a pole one day, and become a ghost under the knife.

Some large landlords are also anxious, each family is good land and good land, but no matter how much good land has to be rented by tenants, this time it is good, overnight, those obedient mud legs suddenly threw the ground together and went to the pole of Huluyu, so who else planted this land? Let these old rich landlords plow and plow? Don't even think about it, now it's not just the second and third generations of the rich, these guys who live on the land, it's impossible for him to separate donkeys and horses, how can he still farm? Now some large households have felt that they were unkind at the beginning, is it that eighty percent of the land rent is a little too much? Actually, seventy percent is not impossible, right? But now it's too late to say anything, you are now stopping at the intersection and begging, but as a result, people are still dragging their families to flee, using Jiading Xiangyong to intercept, as a result, the word army roared in, and Xiangyong became a lamb to be slaughtered in the field.

Other cottages are also trembling and don't know what to do, the survival of the cottage is to keep people and horses joining, to fill the continuous consumption, this as long as the robbery of small households, let them become homeless, and then mercifully give them a bite to eat, and then throw them a stick, so that they have to rob the next family with themselves, this can maintain the cottage endlessly, this is good, the people are running to Huluyu, then they don't cut off? What is the wind and water in this world? I just became an outcast.

There are also local poles that don't open their eyes, and they are very dissatisfied with Lu Shi and other poles that suddenly came out of nowhere, so they beckoned their subordinates and shouted to kill them down the mountain and fight for Dingkou, but this strength is stronger than people, and everyone roared here, but in front of those well-armed, well-equipped, and high-spirited thieves, they immediately failed miserably.

As a result, this rich county has been overwhelmed by Lu Shi and others, and all other forces have been gloomed.

But during this period, it planted a sworn enemy disaster for the Black Tiger Army.

In the battle of Yanchuan, the official army was defeated, but Yang He was unwilling, but there was a mutiny in the Guyuan border army, which caught Yang He, who was the governor of the three sides, off guard, and the nature of the mutiny in the border army can not be compared with the pole uprising of the displaced people in various places.

This Ansai is a place where the border army eats, and it is also the real rear of the border army, how can it be lost? So he hurriedly arranged for the team to wave the army to judge, and Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, was already seriously ill and unavailable, so he could only rush inside and out, and for a while he was in a hurry, and there was no longer any force to take care of the thief Lu Shi.

At this time, Fuxian reported that Lu Shichuang had recovered his vitality again, and there was a trend of resurgence, but looking at the battle report, he could only cry out in vain and have no soldiers to adjust.

Holding the battle report, Yang He was silent for a long time, then turned back to Qian Tongdao, a think tank behind him, "Heguang, how do you see this matter being handled?" ”

Qian Tong, who had become low-key, heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, turned over and knelt down.

"Zi said, there are no outsiders here, don't kneel around, what's the trick to hear?"

After the last battle of Yanchuan, Qian Tong has begun to show his head and feet in the eyes of Yang He, and he is still his right-hand man, and in the suppression of the mutiny of the border army, he is not bad at every time, and it makes Yang He trustworthy, so he must ask Qian Tong about everything, and also let Qian Tong take it as the grace of knowing the encounter, and be more attentive, at this time Yang He asked, turned around at that time, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, first blamed himself, and reviewed the fault of the defeat of Yanchuan in the first battle.

Yang He couldn't help but smile slightly: "The matter has passed, and you have planned properly during the period, but the thief is cunning and is also a companion in other things, so I gave the thief a respite, don't blame yourself too much." looked at Qian Tong, and said: "Now is not the time to dwell on the past, let's still look at the present, stand up and talk with the light." ”

This is Yang He's personality, he does not shirk his subordinates and does not whitewash his merits, so after his downfall, not only was he not killed by Qingliu and others, but his son Yang Sichang was not only not implicated by Qingliu, but was reused and became several pillars of the dilapidated court at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Tong was inexplicably grateful, and stood up after kowtowing; "Old man, although we now have no soldiers to encircle and suppress the thieves, the students have a plan, not only can they eliminate the thieves without a trace of grain, grass and silver from the imperial court."

When Yang He heard that there was such a good thing in the world? At that time, he was interested, pointed to a chair and said, "With the light, sit down and say." ”

Qian Tong hurriedly humbled himself, but at Yang He's insistence, he still sat in the side seat, and then said eloquently: "Zhang Yuan, the candidate of Mizhi County, has a grudge against killing his father and son with the Black Tiger Village, and his family has a huge amount of money, so why not give him an actual official position, order him to give him some money and food, make up for the arrears of the soldiers of the other county guards, and then take out some money to pay for the opening of the bereavement and burial, and then let him give some money and food to recruit the township Yong to form an army, and eradicate the henchmen of the Black Tiger Village for his husband and ancestor." First, it can quell the chaos for the court, second, it doesn't cost the court money, and the third is important, that is, after he pays to recruit the young and strong people of the homeless people, he can ensure that there are no homeless people in the place. ”

Yang He's heart moved at the moment, and he raised his head and asked Qian Tongdao; "Who is this cloud?"

Qian Tong arched his hand; "Back to my husband's ancestors, this Zhang Yun is a rich businessman in my house, but his family background is solid, not only in my Yan'an, but also in Xi'an, Taiyuan, and the capital have his business, can be said to be a daily gold, well-deserved richest man here."

When Yang He heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered in a low voice: "How did a low-end businessman become a Mizhi County Cheng?" Could it be—"

The literati looked down on businessmen who pursued their own books and profits, and they couldn't even conduct scientific examinations, so how could they become dignified county officials? Could it be that there is a disadvantage here?

Seeing this, Qian quickly left his seat and knelt down, and told the ins and outs of the matter in a sincere panic. The Last Way; "When the war started, Zhang Yun took out a large amount of money to support him, in order to reward him for his heart of fist, so the student took the liberty and took the blank given by his husband and ancestor, and promised him that he was a candidate for the county, and he didn't have time to report it, so please blame his husband and ancestor."

When Yang He heard this, he appreciated Qian Tongda even more, at this time, he could find military salaries and silver for the court and the border army, that is, he was a capable official, and he just waved his hand to let him get up, but he immediately thought of something and groaned; "Things are good, but they are not in harmony with the ancestral system, and I am most afraid of private soldiers. I am afraid that the imperial history will be discussed by officials. ”

"My husband's ancestor, my subordinates have a proposal, please ask my husband's ancestor to refer to it."

"How?"

"Could you please transfer the soldiers of a county and let Zhang Yun contribute funds to make up for the shortfall, won't this solve part of it?"

"That's right." Yang He suddenly realized that he was inspired; "Give that Zhang Yun another vacancy, and then recruit the township warrior to sign Ding, isn't it done?"

"Your Excellency is clever." Qian Tong hurriedly complimented.

"Just let him have more materials to make up for the two guards in Ganquan and Luochuan, so that there will be nearly 3,000 soldiers, which can be used to attack the north and south, and give him another 3,000 signatories, I think it's enough."

Qian Tong said with great joy; "More than enough."

"But in case Zhang Yunwei is too big to fall, and he doesn't know the soldiers, I will send a deputy chief soldier here to lead, Zhang Yun is to dispatch grain, grass and silver money, wouldn't it be better to be justifiable?"

"I can't wait."

After Zhang Yunde was summoned by the governor, he still smirked at the wall at night. From time to time, I took out a brass seal and bit it, to see if it was real, to see if I was having a spring and autumn dream.

In the afternoon, he was specially summoned by the governor, and when the governor summoned him, he told him a lot, but the main thing was to ask Zhang Yuan to contribute to the imperial court, take some silver money to make up for the long-term arrears of food and wages in Ganquan Luochuan Wei, and then recruit the villagers to exterminate the thieves and appease the place.

Take some silver money to recruit troops, for him to enter the gold family with millions of people is just a drop in the bucket, the most important thing is to be able to personally recruit the village brave, personally raise troops to report the father and son of the great enmity is serious, is happy, which Cheng wants a big official seal but smashed on his head,—— Yansui Zhenfu Division, from the five-grade official, a few days ago has not been from a person to see people lightly the ninth-rate businessman, jumped from the nine-rank county Cheng, and the officials on an equal footing, one step to the sky in the momentum to ease up, At this moment, another big official hat came down, this is the real five grades, and I haven't calculated how many poles I have been promoted. The ancestors of the old Zhang family have not had such a big official for generations. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will start to take out a lot of money to start my own work, thief, see me Zhang Yuan and you will not die.
